[HP] A Brief History of Time

An hour before the start of the Halloween banquet, the Goblet of Fire was carried by Hagrid to Dumbledore's empty chair in the Great Hall.Professor Snape's face was gloomy, and he didn't even notice that Professor Flitwick was standing beside him trying to tiptoe, talking loudly, chanting praises for the Goblet of Fire, which consisted entirely of repeated words.Right now, he was watching Hagrid motionless, even as the latter was wiping the glass with his brand new, creased robes, he almost clenched his wand, and was about to rush forward - it's a pity that Hagrid didn't do anything delivery action.

For the next 10 minutes, no one came within one step of the Goblet of Fire except Hagrid.

"Oh, Hagrid..." Snape finally changed the subject when he could concentrate on listening to what Professor Flitwick had to say, "I have to ask Hagrid how to comb my hair smoothly... ..."

Snape stared at Flitwick as he waddled towards Hagrid, and after staring at him for about five minutes, he finally gave up his suspicions about Hagrid with regret—his weird new look was probably due to Booth Barton's headmistress, not the Imperius Curse.

He monitored the Goblet of Fire almost every night—he didn't find anything unusual, and today was the time to reveal the list of the Triwizard Tournament warriors.

The whole Hufflepuff table was cheering for Cedric.Amid the noise, Virginia stared at the Goblet of Fire tightly with her heart in her hand. Half a minute later, her heart sank suddenly, and the fourth piece of parchment was spit out from a long, dazzling tongue of fire.

She couldn't believe it, even though Headmaster Dumbledore knew what was going on, he still didn't change the result.

The Great Hall fell silent as Dumbledore pronounced Harry Potter's name, and then went from whispers to loud protests.The Hufflepuffs were particularly angry. Zacharias Smith even stood up and threw the glass of pumpkin juice at Harry Potter's back, while the usually mild-tempered prefect just looked on coldly.

Hufflepuff felt greatly insulted.

Virginia noticed that Professor Dumbledore didn't say anything to Harry. He looked solemn, glanced at Professor Snape hiding in the shadows, and carefully observed with the parchment.

"This is cheating!" Lettice was about to burst into tears. "It's not fair and justice at all. Harry Potter already has so many reputations. Why does he want to get in trouble with Hufflepuff? Why does he want to rob Hufflepuff?" Cedric's honor?"

Ernie McMillan said viciously, "He's a vain ghost!"

Virginia lowered her eyes, knowing that they would not listen to any excuses for Harry now, "Don't worry, no matter who the opponent is, Cedric will win, win beautifully, and win well."

Annie didn't shed tears, but blushed and said loudly, "Cedric is the best!"

Virginia was more worried than they were.She glanced at Draco from afar, only to see that he wasn't affected in the slightest.

That night, during the Hufflepuff bash for Cedric, Virginia sneaks out of the common room.

Draco, who was waiting for her on the marble steps, cast a Warming Charm on her as soon as he saw her.

Virginia was surprised to find that he was far from unaffected, and even had a slight smile on his face, looking very happy. His fingertips lightly touched the dark green scarf, which was a bit transparent, " It's great that the professor is out of the office, we haven't had this much leisure in the evenings in a long time."

"Of course he will be anxious." Virginia took Draco's outstretched arm and whispered close to him, "Did the headmaster make any promises about this matter? Tonight..."

Draco interrupted her anxiety, his voice was steady, with a kind of gentle indifference, "Vil, we have taken the risk and done what we have to do. To that poor savior, we We have done our best, and we don't need to be responsible for his other things—even without us, he can live well."

Virginia's words were blocked just like that, and she kept silent about it cautiously.

Draco glanced at her sideways, and stopped, "If you can't get past that hurdle in your heart—" He frowned in embarrassment, and thought for a while, "You really make my choice difficult—— But because of you—well, I can find a way to reveal a little more information to the professor."

Virginia looked at him in surprise, not believing for a moment that he would say such a thing.

"I'm not—" she argued, "it's just Cedric's ending—" However, she was really swayed by Draco's compromise, and she sighed, frustrated, "It's true that we can't worry about this —Now that we've made it this far, I don't believe it will end exactly the same. Don't take that risk again, Draco. I'm afraid that if something about your father comes to light, we'll actually be prosecuted and put on trial, if so , I'm fine, you and your mother are in big trouble, I'm really worried."

Draco saw that she had diverted her attention from this matter, and knowing that her goal had been achieved, she stopped saying anything risky. He sincerely comforted her about the old Malfoy, "Don't worry, this matter will never Exposure, you and I both know that Dad's life is not in danger at all-if a judgment is required, this is a fact worth considering, not to mention, after the war, the father will probably proudly take the credit for himself-it's better than Much better to spend a fortune in Galleons to get away with it."

A long whistle interrupted Virginia's thoughts. She turned her head and saw two tall Durmstrang boys passing by with a smile on their faces. One of them gave Draco his shoulder With a small fist, he looked at Virginia and laughed twice before walking away.

"They've been sitting across from me at dinner." Draco explained to Virginia with a smile, "Durmstrang's spell is very powerful, Will, I hope you should shift some of your energy to how to go faster Throw the spell on."

Hearing this, Virginia wrinkled her face bitterly.

Draco smiled happily.

Virginia thought he was in too good a mood to-night.

The two of them had already walked into the porch outside the auditorium.Standing against the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the beautiful scenery outside the castle under the moonlight.Draco took out a small box wrapped in purple-black velvet from his pocket, gently opened it, and sent it to Virginia.

Under the bright white moonlight, Virginia clearly saw what was in the box, a snake with its head and tail intertwined, forming an exquisite ring, and the two emerald-studded eyes on the snake's head were shining brightly under the moonlight. Shine brightly.

After being briefly shocked and distracted, Virginia immediately put on a straight face, "What does this mean? If it's... a marriage proposal, it's too early."

"Yes, it's a little early for your age," Draco didn't care, he took Virginia's hand and didn't allow her to break free, "But in terms of our experience and the time we met , I'm just going on with our lives, we've already gone through this stage, but for some unknown reason, that ring as a witness became your bracelet - but it doesn't matter, the original blue amber is not big Appropriate for an engagement ring - but limited by Malfoy's financial difficulties at the time..."

"Draco!" Virginia had to call his name loudly to interrupt him, "I haven't stopped dreaming about the past recently, and in order to let you know how I feel now, I have to mention one thing—I I haven't said forgive you yet, I'm not ready yet."

"I don't understand." Draco held Virginia's hand more firmly, "No matter how many things I did to you that made you unhappy at the beginning, it is an indisputable fact that you fell in love with me in the end. Otherwise, you wouldn't agree to my marriage proposal."

Virginia smiled, "The last thing for me is Mary Jane's revenge, not your proposal."

"I apologize," Draco said quickly, looking inquiringly into Virginia's eyes with an uncertain look on his face, "I really hope you understand my regret—but It is absolutely impossible for this thing to happen in this lifetime.”

Virginia didn't speak.

Draco didn't get the answer he wanted.

The two were deadlocked, but before the tower clock rang, Draco firmly put the ring on Virginia's finger, kissed her fingertips, and said, "I wish everything in my previous life Dissipate the shadow caused to us quickly, I understand your feelings, and I hope you can understand mine." He put a letter in her hand and smiled, "This is my mother's blessing to us."

Virginia looked down.

Virginia Hebbs hugged the heavy tray with one hand, and pushed open the door of the ward with the other, "It's time to take the medicine."

No one answered.

Virginia put a tray with a lot of medicines on the bedside cabinet, and looked suspiciously at the empty bed.She walked to the bathroom and knocked lightly on the closed door, "Mr. Malfoy, are you in?"

Virginia frowned unhappily, and raised her voice, "Mr. Malfoy? If you're here, please answer me? I don't want what happened last time to repeat itself. You know what happened."

Before this, this cunning, dishonest and uncooperative patient had the experience of hiding in the bathroom and intimidating Virginia with mischievous spells. His health was so poor that he dared to use magic when Virginia entered the door, The result was that he lay in bed for three days again unable to move.Even though he was almost out of breath, Virginia asked Parsons nurse to wipe his body for three days.

Thinking of this, Virginia became a little impatient, she knocked on the door again, "Mr. Malfoy?"

3 minutes passed with no response.

Virginia put her hand on the doorknob, hesitated for a while, and then opened the door. She was surprised to find that there was no one in the blue bathroom.
