[HP] A Brief History of Time

Virginia smoothed her hair with a wand before walking down the stairs slowly.Malfoy, an ancient castle hidden in a seaside town in Italy, is gloomy all the year round, and the light is not very good. The wall lamps on both sides of the aisle are lit up by dumb servants early in the morning. This miserable atmosphere is like the bright sunshine outside. It doesn't matter.She passed the corner of the stairs and glanced unconsciously at the dull portraits--glaring at her, as usual.

Draco was already sitting at the long table, he saw her, and smiled at her, "Sit down and eat." He said as he slowly folded a newspaper into cubes before using a gold Bowl weighed it down and got up to pull out the chair for Virginia.

"Where's Mrs. Malfoy?"

"Mom walked in the yard with Dad." Draco poured her a glass of milk.Lucius stopped taking the poisonous weed a month ago. Although his body was still so thin that he couldn't see it, he was able to get out of bed, and the red and swollen poisonous bumps on his face almost disappeared.

"Is there a letter?" Virginia said, glancing at his squarely folded newspaper. "Mom hasn't contacted us for two weeks."

Draco didn't say anything, he pushed the plate in front of him, signaling her to eat breakfast quickly.

It wasn't until a long time after breakfast that Lucius returned to the house with the help of Narcissa. Virginia's eyes suddenly rested on Lucius's still trembling left hand——Virginia Ya knew it was the residual pain from the burning of the Dark Mark, which had become more and more frequent in the past month - the Dark Lord summoned his apostles again and again, and he was getting impatient.But this time it seems a little serious.

Both Lucius and Narcissa looked pale.

"He's angry," Lucius said. "I can feel it." He fell silent, as if waiting for someone to comment.Everyone in the house was not smiling.

Virginia subconsciously glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it is now past nine in the morning.The time at Hogwarts was just after the first class.

Why is the Dark Lord angry?

Draco's face was serious.Virginia couldn't help looking under the newspapers in the golden bowl.She reached out and tapped the exposed edge.

Draco made a helpless expression, "I didn't think it was a big deal, but I was afraid to scare you, so..."

The "Daily Prophet" from three days ago was delivered this morning, and their news has lagged behind.

Virginia almost shook her hands and forced herself to finish reading the newspaper, not even missing any corners of the news. During this period, Lucius called Draco into the study again.

Tragedy from beginning to end.

Telling the truth all the time, the newspaper on the side of the Order of the Phoenix was attacked by Death Eaters - the same newspaper that Draco provided to Black; Caredy Bubbaji, who only married last year - the original Muggle The research professor wrote a pro-Muggle article, which mentioned the cruelty of the Dark Lord. As a result, after she disappeared for more than a month, she finally found her body three days ago by a small river in an abandoned factory .

Virginia glanced at the distraught figure of Kerry Dibbaji's husband and quickly turned her attention away.

The language of the Daily Prophet is ambiguous, and it seems that it does not intend to be on the side of good, nor does it wish to offend the forces of darkness.

Virginia turned to the inside page, and "Dumbledore's Secret Past" managed to occupy two pages.This is a completely different Dumbledore from the public eye—ambitious, ruthless, and crazy.

Virginia and Narcissa read the plentiful "Daily Prophet" together. The two looked at each other and saw the panic on each other's faces.

Virginia has been comforting herself with the ending of her previous life, only to calm down her beating heart.

In the study room, Lucius paced back and forth behind the desk with heavy steps, his left hand didn't have the strength to hold the snake-headed cane until now.The burning in the garden just now was more painful than any previous one. It lasted for half an hour, and he lay down among the flowers, several layers of clothes on his body were soaked with sweat.He had to admit that after so many years of living in peace, his courage has become smaller and smaller.

"Your godfather really surprised me..." Lucius murmured, "How sure is Dumbledore?"

"Dumbledore always likes to keep secrets. He will never give any clues unless it's the final moment of sure victory." Draco was also worried in his heart. In fact, the reason why he avoided Hogwarts and cooperated with Alona easily was that he was unwilling to accept that terrible task again—even if Dumbledore did not show any willingness to do whatever he wanted because of Virginia's treatment, "Father, I'm afraid that if you don't hurry up and return home, then I'm afraid you'll have to continue pretending to be sick until the Wizengamot court after the war. At that time, Malfoy's status in the wizarding world may have to retreat, because I doubt that, The Dark Lord has now turned his wrath on Hogwarts."

Lucius stared at him for a moment, then grinned inappropriately.

In Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall stood with her chest up in the auditorium and comforted the panic-stricken students. Her wand was always erected in front of her chest, and calmly calmed down the young students who insisted on staying to fight. kids click out.

Alona stood in the corner of the auditorium, looking at the panicked students and teachers in the auditorium, secretly glad that Virginia was not in school at the moment.Blaise sneaked behind her, and none of the Slytherins stayed behind - either out of position or inner cowardice.

Alona grabbed his sleeve and whispered, "Good boy, go back to the basement and use the portkey immediately. Be careful yourself." Without giving him a chance to speak, she patted him on the shoulder, "Go quickly Bar."

"Mrs. Conway," McGonagall walked towards her briskly, "These children, I ask you to take care of them and return to the dormitory."

Alona waved at the heads of the little devils, "Come on, your task now is to ensure your own safety."

***

Virginia was the first to emerge from the fireplace. Alona was not in the office, and the room was dark.She dared not light the lamp, for she found spells of various colors flickering outside the half-drawn window.

Draco walked behind her, hid behind the curtain and looked out, a red light suddenly flew in this direction.Draco quickly hugged Virginia and rolled to the side twice.The window glass was shattered all over the place, and all kinds of shouts and fighting sounds could be heard clearly.

Virginia even heard one of the Weasley twins swearing, right under the wall.

She stared at Draco for a moment with her eyes open in the darkness.Draco suddenly bent down and bit her lip hard, "I swear to Merlin, we'll all be fine."

The green light of the fireplace flashed, and Lucius' figure appeared in the room. He let out a muffled grunt, and it turned out that he had kicked the foot of the table.

"See you later, Dad." Draco stopped him from lighting his wand. "Kill a few more enemies, be high-profile, and make sure people guess who you are."

Virginia took a small vial of potion out of her pocket and threw it into his hand.

Lucius was stunned, it was a bottle of golden bliss, "Thank you, be careful." He took a look at the two children, put on a hat, and stepped out of the room first with his head down.

"I'm going to the place with the most plants, they can help me," Virginia said, in the dark, she felt her face a little hot, she squeezed Draco's hand and shook it, "You and I Shall we go together?"

***

Harry knocked away a werewolf who was attacking Hermione with a spell, grabbed her and dodged two steps back, breathing heavily, "Nagini is in the Forbidden Forest, Hermione, we must get rid of him first, Deng Bullido has been playing for time."

Hermione cried and put her feet up and hugged Harry's neck, and it took a full minute to let go. She wiped away her tears, "I'll go with you, Harry, Ron is here Help Ginny."

"The Invisibility Cloak can only cover one person, Hermione," Harry calmly reached out and wiped the dust off her cheeks, "You have helped me so much, you have supported me this year , but this time I can only go alone.”

"God, stop joking, Harry, a snake, it's thicker than your waist..."

"I have the Invisibility Cloak." Harry let go of her hand. "Neville, and Luna...they all need your help."

"Let him go to hell!" Hermione swore, and a Death Eater, seeing her talking to herself against a wall, quietly raised his wand behind her.

"Armor protection!" Harry's wand slipped out of the cloak.

Hermione turned away in an instant, cleverly, and joined the fight.

Harry took two steps back slowly, a black stone in his hand.

***

Where there are plants, Virginia can maximize their magic, and she has killed at least two Death Eaters on her own.Draco gradually separated from her.After she used a thorny thorn to shake off a vampire who wanted to bite her neck, she turned around and couldn't find Draco in the red and green light.

"Virginia!" A figure screamed and rushed towards her. Virginia raised her wand reflexively, and it was only after she cast the spell that she could clearly see that it was Hermione. Shadow's knife wind brushed past her arm.

Hermione had no time to pay attention to her use of black magic, her face was as pale as a dead person, her hand was very strong, and she held Virginia's arm tightly, "Harry, did you see Harry?"

Ron and Neville followed her, "Nagini has been killed by us!"

"God," Hermione's legs went limp all of a sudden, "how could he think that he alone... alone can get rid of that person?"

A white light suddenly lit up in the direction of the Forbidden Forest, illuminating the sky above the Forbidden Forest.

Hermione stared blankly, then suddenly came back to her senses, quickly got up from the ground, and ran towards the Forbidden Forest.

Virginia hesitated for half a minute, then ran after her.
