[HP] A Brief History of Time

At three o'clock, the alarm clock fulfilled the order given to it by the hostess the night before, and before it could make a complete whining sound, a hand had already patted its sound, and the potato-shaped alarm clock resembled Aggrieved, he uttered a sob that was still unfinished, and then died away.

Virginia opened her eyes as usual to catch the afterglow of the blue amber in her hand gradually fading away. She sat up from the bed, touched the magic wand beside the pillow and lit the lamp in the room.She was almost used to this phenomenon—she didn't think there was anything unacceptable about spending such a short time in sleep to gradually review the previous memories, except that it could influence her emotions throughout the day.After sorting out the contents of her memory, she recorded the useful parts of her memory in an encrypted notebook with a pen, then went into the bathroom barefoot, and plucked her somewhat messy hair in front of the mirror.

By the time she finished washing, Mickey (the house-elf of Zabini Manor) had neatly made her bed, holding her small suitcase.

Alonna expressed disappreciation of the sports she could not understand, but because all the wizards crazily admired the Quidditch World Cup, she still entrusted Virginia to Mrs. Zabini, and she stayed alone. In the study of the Zabini Manor, gnawing on old antique books.

Therefore, when Virginia came downstairs, the only person who was not there was Alona, ​​who was still sleeping with nothing on her mind.

Mrs. Zabini is still radiant among a group of sleep-deprived people. She went to bed early last night, and she is wearing a bright orange dress in the hazy night. She looks quite good, with a dark green shawl for her In the cool night breeze, standing next to her was Mr. Doyle, who had contributed a lot to the World Cup tickets.In view of this, Blaise turned a blind eye to Mrs. Zabini's behavior of holding his arm.Mr. Doyle got a total of five tickets, and the person who benefited from Alona's refusal was Draco Malfoy.

Thinking of recent memories, Virginia was not very angry with him.She had been standing beside Blaise, barely looking him in the eye.

This situation has been going on and off for two weeks, and Draco has figured out the reason for Virginia's mood swings. For this, he knows he is wrong, so he can only desperately pray that those bad memories will pass away as soon as possible.He came from Italy in a hurry and stayed up almost all day and night. Under his tired face, he was quickly thinking about how to deal with Virginia's obviously bad mood.

The good-natured Mr. Doyle was prepared for the fact that he was followed by three tails when he was dating a beautiful woman.His carriage had already parked at the gate of the building.Wait until everyone's luggage has been properly placed on the carriage.

Two carriages, one in front and one in the back, quickly drove towards the gate silently, steadily and quickly along the driveway in front of the building.At the moment of exiting the gate of Zabini Manor, the black horse with flying wings and the low-key decorated carriage disappeared in the air.

In the carriage, Virginia pushed Draco's head away with her fingers expressionlessly.The latter was so sleepy that he smashed his head from Virginia's shoulder to the wall of the carriage. The sound was so loud that Blaise, who was hurrying to pay attention to the recent progress of the World Cup through the wind lamp in the carriage, was startled.

Draco rubbed his forehead and smiled wryly.

Blaise shrunk his shoulders, put on earplugs for himself, dragged the blanket aside, motioned for them to have something to say, and lay down with his back to them.

"What was last night?" Draco held out his hand to Virginia.

Virginia's hand dodged for a moment, she turned her head and looked him up and down, then changed the subject and said, "How is your father?"

"After showing him the unshrunk Malfoy property ledger, I think he's in a better mood." Draco said rather cheerfully, "but he has no time to pay attention to the Ministry of Magic's power issues - he is trying to confess his Every day's whereabouts and even details in the past few decades, so that mother can dispel that unreliable guess and doubt, and try her best to get her out of grief and anger." He saw that Virginia was very concerned about this matter, Naturally, I am willing to reveal more, "Of course, I have confessed my plan to my mother, and she is undoubtedly supportive. She has brains and means, and naturally knows what is going on with Dad's illness, but she can undoubtedly use it. That diverts his attention," he said, reaching for Virginia's hand again.

This time Virginia didn't dodge, she asked softly, "Before you were taken to the hospital, in the Blue Beard Bar, did you fight for which girl?"

Draco's face was embarrassing, he clenched his fists and coughed a few times, and said dryly, "Of course I went to the bar just to drink, as for other things, how can I remember?"

Virginia narrowed her eyes, as if to say that Malfoy can only use amnesia to avoid problems.

"It was all before I met you, and it is absolutely impossible to happen in this life, so why worry about it?" Draco said resentfully.

"I dare not have too high expectations of human nature."

Draco coughed a few times again, and said righteously, "My nature is what you see now. There is a loyal and honest heart hidden under the bohemian appearance."

Virginia sneered, and turned her face out of the window, but Draco saw the corners of her mouth raised, and secretly wiped his sweat from the bottom of his heart.

A few minutes later, Draco once again fell on Virginia's shoulders through sleepiness, noticing her disappearing resistance, he leaned forward to pillow on her lap, turned around, and hugged her waist , fell asleep with confidence.

Virginia lowered her eyes, looked at the top of his blond hair, and closed her eyes with a complicated expression.

Two hours later, the carriage arrived at its destination.The speed has slowed down significantly.There were occasional human voices in the cold air and thick fog outside the window.

Everyone got out of the carriage.Doyle sent everyone to the rented tent and left in a hurry. He had to report to his boss.Mrs. Zabini was unwilling to accompany him to participate in these human exchanges, but she obviously had her own communication.After she ordered a few times not to run around, she walked out of the tent with her skirt in hand.

Draco was in his room looking at a camp map he bought on the way.He slept for a while on the road, but it did nothing to relieve his exhaustion.At the moment it is completely strong.

Virginia silently took the map in front of him, "Go and sleep for a while, the sky is not yet fully lit." She blinked and looked at him calmly, "I think you have already done it You can do it."

Draco sighed.

For them, who have the memories of two lifetimes, they are still in a passive position most of the time.As Draco of Slytherin and Virginia, who was imprisoned in the secret room for two years, the truth they knew in the previous life was only the truth that those people were willing to let them know.Even Draco's dark secrets were only based on the Memoirs of the Savior that Virginia had read over and over again.

"If he...has come back from Albania, there must be unrest tonight," Draco said, "but at least we're sure to be safe tonight."

Blaise knocked on the door carrying a pot of tea, "Do you want to go out for a stroll? The market has already been set up."

"I'll go with you." Virginia stood up, she folded the map and put it in her pocket, "Go to sleep for a while, Draco."

***

Compared with what Mr. Malfoy could get in his previous life, the tickets Mr. Doyle got were far behind.Although it is also on the top floor, when Warrington arrogantly followed old Warrington and Fudge, passed him, and walked towards the box in the middle of the box where he had stayed in the previous life, the vain part of Draco's body belonged to Malfoy. That part couldn't help but sigh with regret.

Virginia naturally didn't know what he was lamenting.She was rather dismayed that the box was almost filled with Slytherins.She quite admired Astoria for being able to greet herself with a sweet smile against Pan Xi's gloomy eyes.Of course Virginia knew who she was going to be—the girl who was engaged to Draco and then broke off her engagement.She was undoubtedly a cunning girl, and when her older sister Daphne couldn't help showing surprise when she saw Draco appearing alone in this box, she remained motionless and her face remained the same.

In the box, Mr. Parkinson and Mr. Greenglass exchanged a meaningful look.When the former greeted Draco, he rarely showed a sense of superiority. In front of Pansy's distorted smile, he slapped Draco sideways, and even exaggeratedly praised Mr. Warrington's bright future.

"Look at you high-spirited young people." Mr. Parkinson concluded with a laugh, not at all feeling that his pleasure was so out of place in front of Draco's very gracious smile-of course he might Think he is wearing a forced smile.

After Astoria said hello, she sat quietly next to her parents, and she faintly heard Mr. and Mrs. Greengrass whispering in her ears.

"...So, is the news confirmed?" Mrs. Greengrass is a tall, thin woman with strange hair color and a rare copper green under the light. Daphne and her are a little Kind of like it, but without inheriting her long, curved nose—like an animal with a keen sense of smell, "I saw Mrs. Malfoy a month ago... and I heard that she appeared in the wizarding fashion show in Paris... ...It's such a pity, it's hard for a family like Malfoy to have a second family...Looking at Warrington's appearance as a nouveau riche, I really don't like it...Parkinson is so good at the pole...It's too much Disgraceful."

Greenglass rolled his eyes, "It's hard to say, it's hard to say, eight out of ten, nine out of ten. Parkinson can't help it, he's tied up with Warrington." He lowered his voice and said, "I think this is a good idea. Opportunity..." He coughed twice, his voice lowered, "If old Malfoy really fails... There is only one kid left, and Malfoy will not decline no matter what happens—Will There is still a large piece of land in Te County!... Daphne..."

Astoria couldn't hear it anymore, she sat on the seat with a normal expression, but the corner of her eyes swept over Daphne, Draco, Virginia and Blaise beside him one by one.
