[HP] Sickness and Medicine

hinder.On the contrary, it was Kara herself who temporarily changed her partner again, causing a lot of unhappiness.

On Christmas Eve, the beauty potion ordered by Dolores finally arrived.Slugger & Ziggs Pharmacy puts their credit on the fact that they did exactly what she asked for.Dolores quickly made up the balance and thanked her, feeling as happy as if she had really received Severus' Christmas present.

In fact, the gift she prepared for him this year was also different. It was no longer related to potions, but a pair of obsidian cufflinks.When she was working for Muggles during the summer vacation, she passed by the window of a jewelry store, and she was attracted by the pair of round cufflinks at first sight—they were so similar to his eyes!

So she spent half of her salary to buy this pair of cuffs. They were originally a private collection, but now they are in time for a dance. She feels that if they are given to him, the value of the cufflinks will be more fully utilized, and there may be a certain probability that they will become his All in black with an inconspicuous decoration.

He brewed potions for her, and she presented him with cufflinks. Such a potential exchange seemed to be a silent tacit understanding, which made her feel slightly sweet when she thought about it.

On the afternoon of Christmas Day, it was almost dark, and the girls had already started to act at the same time, busy for their appearances at the banquet.Dolores has beauty potions in hand, which saves a lot of troubles such as applying makeup and powder, so she only curls her hair first, and is ready to change clothes at almost seven o'clock.

The high-quality beauty potion has no color at first glance, but with the change of light and angle, the liquid can reflect rainbow colors, gorgeous and clear like a fairy tale about a prince and princess.She swallowed it breathlessly, barely tasted it, only immediately felt itching on her back and right wrist, a faint heat above her eyelids, and the clothes on her chest gradually became tight.

After 10 minutes, the effect of the medicine was fixed, and she held another mirror to check it, and found that the scar had not completely disappeared, but gathered into a thorny rose, rooted in the bone, condensed in the flesh, and waited shyly between the two butterfly bones. put.She touched it with her backhand, and felt the relief-like touch, revealing another kind of lifelikeness, which made her unable to help admiring.

In addition, the traces on her wrists faded away, her unfinished eyebrows became neat, and a red mole on her neck moved to the center of her eyebrows, making her look exotic; at the same time, her bust was also big In a circle, it seems to have embezzled the fat on the thigh.Of course the dress was still fit, she smiled with satisfaction, arranged her hair, put on her jewelry, put on her cloak, bid farewell to Carla, and went out with the chime of quarter to seven.

Pole was already waiting outside the Hufflepuff lounge as agreed.As soon as he saw her, his eyes lit up, and he imitated a gentleman's demeanor slightly exaggeratedly and greeted with a hand kiss: "Good evening, my beautiful and lovely lady! You will be the most charming camellia tonight! I can walk with you ,it's my honour!"

"Good evening, Mr. Pole." Dolores replied neither humble nor overbearing: "And thank you, it is also my honor!"

"The auditorium is not open yet, and the gate is full of people, so let's not join in the fun." Bohr raised his elbow and motioned for her to put it on: "Why don't you come with me to the Slytherin common room and sit for a while, wait eight Click to enter."

"Okay." Dolores stretched out her hand to lightly touch his forearm, but still kept a proper distance while walking.

Pol was wearing a traditional dark green robe, common among Slytherin boys, and it matched Dolores' brown and yellow gown.Along the way, he raised his head and chest deliberately, and greeted his classmates with arrogance. Dolores was like a bright medal on his collar, which greatly satisfied his vanity.

When they entered the common room, the long and narrow room was full of people, but it was abnormally quiet. Dolores understood the reason when she listened carefully.Severus was giving the last lecture to the students of this academy before the dance, and listed several "must" and "prohibited".Dolores was very surprised. Compared with him, her dean Sprout was too lenient to them.

"...The last one, the banquet ends at twelve o'clock, you must return to the dormitory on time, no late arrivals, no night tours, and no night stays, if found out, you will be expelled!" Severus finished his sentence, it was exactly eight o'clock When the voice sounded, he simply nodded and said: "Okay, remember my words, go."

He stepped out of the common room first, and when he passed Dolores by the door, his eyes froze slightly and his eyebrows raised slightly, although his footsteps did not stop.Dolores watched him leave, with a more sincere smile on her face.The look he just had just now is enough to prove that she has chosen the right dance partner.

"Lucien—" Another tall boy pushed a small girl over.He bumped Pol on the shoulder first, complimented him in a low voice, and then introduced himself to Dolores: "I'm Perkin Derek. Murray, nice to meet you! You are so beautiful tonight." !"

"Thank you." Dolores restrained her smile: "Who is your dance partner?"

"This is Lisa Sipe, from the sixth grade of our college." Derek pushed his partner forward: "Lisa is a bit shy, just like you Hufflepuffs."

"Hello, Sipe." Dolores greeted politely, and suggested before Pol called for friends, "Should we go? Are we following the group in front?"

"Oh, the first ones are Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson, in the fourth grade." Pohl nodded in agreement: "Let's go too. Malfoy should get to know each other anyway, and I'll introduce you later!"

Dolores was undoubtedly not very interested in this, but she still thanked her and walked up the steps leading to the hall with him.

Beauty Potion ([-])

With inexplicable enthusiasm, Bohr explained all the way to Dolores, even when she was seated in the auditorium.Dolores peeked at Severus who was at the teacher's desk next to the guest of honor, lowered her eyes and chose to be patient, and the rarely shortened distance between the two supported her patience.

As soon as the dinner was over, Dumbledore came forward to clear the venue, set up the stage, and placed the instruments. The Weird Sisters took the stage and played the opening music. Four pairs of dancers composed of warriors entered the dance floor one by one to start the ball. people join in.

"Miss Murray, may I invite you to dance with me?" Pole took out the etiquette he had learned carefully, bent down and extended a hand to Dolores.

"Of course, my honor." Dolores took off her cloak, hung it on a hanger by the wall, and performed her duties as a dance partner with a smile.

They danced two pieces in a row, and Dolores temporarily escaped from the dance floor because of her thirst.Pol stayed with her for a while, and invited her again before the fourth piece began.Dolores pointed to her square-heeled shoes, said that she was exhausted, and recommended him to move freely.

She quietly drank half a glass of juice, looking across the crowd, chasing Severus' figure.Almost as expected, he didn't invite any ladies to dance with him, and no one invited him. Instead, he had a serious and rigid face that was incompatible with the atmosphere of the banquet, and occasionally applauded perfunctorily, just like a boring spectator.

When he raised his hand, there was a slight flash of light on his wrist, which was caught by Dolores in time.She immediately guessed what caused this effect, and she couldn't help leaning on the table and smiling with her chin in her hands.

"It's really wrong to let such a beautiful lady sit aside!" A blond boy from Beauxbatons sighed in weird English: "Your dance partner is willing to leave you behind!"

"it's me……"

"Who said I left her behind?"

Just as Dolores was about to explain, Pole actually went back and forth and stood in front of her with a few strides: "My partner just needs to rest. As long as she agrees, I am willing to dance with her until dawn!"

"Then what about your partner just now?" The blond boy didn't retreat, pointing to a girl on the dance floor and asked: "Why don't you continue dancing with her first, and leave your partner to me for the time being? This lady is too low-key, I'm sorry Hogwarts students are not familiar with her, otherwise I would have invited her directly before the ball."

"No, let's dance together immediately." Bohr waved his hand, casually dismissed the girl he left behind, and grabbed Dolores' hand: "Murray, have you rested? Let's continue dancing? Save face!"

Dolores frowned.This is different from what he promised. He was reasonable before, but he didn't expect to be so overbearing now.The disgust in her heart was getting stronger and stronger, and she wanted to shake her hand and leave.

She hesitated for a few seconds, but Pole immediately turned his face down, and half dragged her back to the dance floor.The blond boy didn't bother anymore, but shrugged regretfully, and turned his head to look for the next target.

After patiently finishing a song, Dolores made it clear that she did not want to dance again.Now Bohr thoughtfully suggested: "Indeed, the auditorium is a bit stuffy, and it's uncomfortable to dance for a while, why don't we go out for a breath? The courtyard has been transformed into a rose garden, which is very suitable for walking!"

"I can go by myself." Dolores' expression became more and more unfamiliar: "You don't have to accommodate my needs."

"It's okay, let's go, let's go!" Bohr put his arms around her shoulders: "It's so dark outside, you need a gentleman to escort you!"

Dolores spread his arms apart calmly, took off the cloak from the hanger and put it on, and walked outside without saying a word.Paul quickly followed.For such a piece of brown candy that can't be shaken off, although Dolores felt conflicted in her heart, she didn't want to quarrel with him too much. After all, they were all students at the same school, so she had to let it go for the time being.

The rose garden is actually not too dark, and many luminous fairies flutter their wings, like stars twinkling in the night sky.With the light they bring, Dolores can make out both the winding path beneath her feet and the edge of the road.
