Hades

Winter comes so quietly.This year's winter is not considered cold, probably because in some unknown corner, those unknown people are fighting fiercely.With Cornelius Fudge's voluntary resignation and Rufus Scrimgeour's rise to power, the New Year's bell was only minutes away.

[-] is almost over, and [-] is coming.

The Siren and Draco were nestled on the sofa, not considered nobles, waiting for the New Year's bell to ring.Pluto touched the siren's black fur, and walked out of Malfoy Manor in this snowy day.

Not too far, for Pluto who spreads his wings and flies in the dark night.With just a few breaths, I can reach a familiar place in less than a minute.

The periphery of Grimmauld Square was covered with thick snow. It has been snowing heavily for two consecutive days, and the atmosphere of Chinese New Year is everywhere.The sunflowers in his hand were still fresh, and there was such a field of sunflowers in Malfoy Manor that would always be in bloom no matter in winter or summer.When they opened the door and came in, the Black family was still waiting for the bell to ring in the small warm living room.Whether it's the old master Walburga or the little guy Teddy, they are all waiting. It won't be long, and it will be a new year in 2 minutes.The whole family was talking and laughing, but one person was missing.

"Auntie~" Unlike the two little ones at home, Teddy probably inherited Sirius's rambunctious nature, even though he still hasn't fallen asleep at this late night, or he can't fall asleep because of his father's torment, he is in good spirits Actually.Wolf tail and wolf ears, this child hasn't learned how to transform yet.

Grabbing the wolf's tail and pulling it up, Teddy giggled.Sirius picked on "You torment my son gently!" The point is not to torment his son, but the person who torments his son.Hades pinched the little guy's ears, and then threw the little wolf pup into Sirius' arms.

"I'll see her go." Pluto said.Signus closed his eyes without lifting his eyelids and said, "It's getting late, go to bed."

"I'll just take a look." Pluto said, striding upstairs.There is not much time left, and the New Year is just over a minute away.A few steps away, Pluto stopped at the door, turned the handle, and gently pushed the door open.

The bed was empty.Bella wasn't asleep yet.Pluto came in and closed the door quietly again.Bella was sitting next to the large French window, leaning on the wheelchair, no matter how she looked, she looked so thin.Pluto came over, walked behind the woman, and gently inserted the sunflower with snowflakes in his hand into the empty bottle on the dressing table.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The bell rang.

New Year's.

After the twelve bells have rung, the new year begins.

"It's New Years. Bella."

"..."

"Happy New Year."

Bella didn't reply to her a happy new year, she just looked at the snow outside and didn't speak.It has been snowing for the past two days, and my whole body is numb in pain. It's not really sad, it's much better than summer.It doesn't feel that much bone-piercing. The cashmere sweater on the body is quite warm, and it has been roasted by fire.After putting the cashmere sweater on her body, the weight on her shoulders lightened. Even if Bella didn't look at her, she knew that Hades had stopped.

She just focused on the snow scene in front of her. Although she couldn't see it clearly through the window on the first floor, at least she could see it.In the vast expanse of white, the dazzling feeling is not so real under the soft light.From here you can see the garden of the Blake family.Alphard loved it here, and later Signus also started working in the garden, tending to those flowers and plants that can bloom well in summer and so on.In his words, this thing is better than people, if you treat him well, he will drive beautifully.Across the garden is Muggle Street.In fact, such a thing as fairness has never existed, just like wizards can see things on Muggle Street, but Muggles can never see wizards.

It's the New Year now, and there are not many people on the street. Occasionally, one or two cars speed by, and they are rushing home to celebrate the New Year.She has been here for a long time. In just a few hours, 24 vehicles came and went.She also saw a young man passing by on a bicycle with what appeared to be his girlfriend.There are also a few younger men and women who look like good friends, and they look like they are spending the new year together on New Year's Eve, and the ones who are playing around are still young.

In fact, it doesn't look like much.But Bella just sat here all night.She told her family that she was a little sleepy, and then went upstairs.In fact, I'm not sleepy, I just don't want to stay there, and then Bella just sits here, sitting quietly.I have no intention of reading a book, nor do I have any intention of doing anything.This sits for hours.Although she didn't know what she had been thinking for so long, maybe she hadn't thought about anything, look, now she didn't even remember that it was so late.

"...It's snowing these two days, don't stay up too late, go to bed early. If you don't want to sleep, wear more clothes, it's cold..."

Pluto talked a lot, but there was no sound, not even the sound of driving away.

A heart sank like that.

"I'm just here to take a look, I'm leaving right away..."

Pluto said, and then she didn't know how to say it.She held up a smile to make herself not look so embarrassed, and there was even a little smile in her tone, but that smile was so stiff that it made people feel shocked.

"...Sell and Xiaolong still insisted on keeping the year. They are both asleep on the sofa at the moment, but Teddy is more energetic than them. Sirius, who is a father, will torture his son..."

Even Pluto himself couldn't listen anymore.She stood silently behind Bella, and she could see her reflection, Bella's reflection, from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.Pluto looked at her, with a pale face, a thin chin, and black eyes just staring blankly ahead.Pluto looked into those eyes, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make the slightest intersection with her at a certain point.

"Happy New Year. Bella,"

Pluto said that after she looked longingly at the reflection on the window but had no response, all she could do was turn around with deep loneliness.Then he walked out quietly and closed the door.

After the room was empty for a long time, the slightly dazed gaze finally had a little more focus.Move down a little bit, and move to the sunflower reflected in the window.

In the past, when she didn't know anything, there was such a little monster who would take a bunch of sunflowers that never matched the atmosphere and put them in an empty bottle on New Year's Day.Every year, every year.She asked why.

Then the little silver-haired monster said that sunflowers are beautiful, and putting them in the house during the New Year heralds happiness in the coming year.

——What sort of argument is this?

--I said.

——You are taking the opportunity to send flowers, you can't send roses, sunflowers will spoil the atmosphere.

——Anyone can give roses, but only I can give sunflowers.

"Happy New Year."

Bella said.
