When Camelia woke up, she found that she was not lying in the familiar ward of the school hospital, but in Beauxbaton's carriage. To be precise, this was the room Ms. Maxim had arranged for her mother, and her mother Sitting on the edge of the bed, from her tired and haggard face, it can be seen that she should have watched her all night.

"Baby, do you feel better?" Almost feeling Camelia's slight movement, she immediately opened her eyes and asked in concern.

"I'm still a little out of breath." Camelia said weakly, "I might feel better if you hug me and pat me on the back like you did when you were a child."

Logically speaking, it is better for heart disease patients not to slap their back hard when their heart is uncomfortable. Many people mistakenly believe that doing so can relieve pain. In fact, this is just a psychological effect. The more pain caused by the blows is used to divert the attention from the heart, but the painful place will still hurt, and the pain will not stop, and this will intensify the damage to the heart.

Camelia and her family all understand this truth, but it is actually just a habit she developed when she was a child. Infections in the chest are generally encouraged to expel phlegm actively, so when she was a child, Camelia was often picked up by her mother and patted her back to expel excess phlegm from her lungs. At first, she was reluctant because she had just finished the operation. It was really uncomfortable, but I had no choice but to lie up straight all the time, and I got used to it later.There is even some dependency on it.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but Camelia really felt better when she leaned in her mother's arms, but she still felt weak all over, but she had regained some energy and could think about simple things.

"Did you tell Dad?" Camelia asked Mom.

"Not yet. I want to watch over you. I don't have time to write letters." Her mother said, "What's more, there was such a big mess last night, so I can't take care of it."

"Then don't talk about it, he'll be worried," said Camelia.

"Why didn't you think about it at the time and your mother would be very worried," her mother said reproachfully, as if the words had annoyed her.

"But whether I get sick or not is beyond my control." Camelia said weakly, and in fact she also lost her temper.Feeling aggrieved in her heart, she thought that she was already like this, but her mother seemed to be blaming her for getting sick in an accusing tone.

Looking at her daughter's bloodless cheeks, Blanche suddenly felt a piercing pain, probably because she remembered Madam Pomfrey's order that her daughter should not be stimulated any more, so her tone slowed down a lot, and she was extremely gentle. It was so plausible that Camelia was flattered for a while.

In her impression, her mother has always been a woman with a strong personality, who likes to give orders to the people around her, and likes to say the same thing no matter at home or outside.

"We still need to speak to your father, because I think it's best to take you to St. Mungo's for a check-up in a few days. It's been a long time since you heard your heart beat so hard that I just sat here You can hear it. If the test result is not good..."

Camelia felt as if her mother was about to cry.

"Baby, let's take another gamble this time and do the operation... It won't be a big deal, it will definitely succeed, even if there will be a scar on the chest, it won't be ugly."

"But what about your job? And I have to go to school." Camelia asked.

"Work is not as important as you. I can't leave you alone again. Be obedient, don't go to this school for the time being. Let's take care of our health first, which is more important than anything else." Her mother said, "They lied to me before I don’t believe that you can’t live to be three years old. You are five years old, and they come to lie to me that you can’t live to be 30 years old at most. I still don’t believe it, because I know our little moon will be healthy and long-lived Hundred years old."

Camelia opened her mouth to say something, but when she saw the expression on her mother's face, she swallowed the words back into her stomach. She thought she might not live to be 30 years old, but she hoped If you can do something for the people around you before you leave, then you will have no regrets.

If the short life is described as the fleeting fireworks, and she really died like this, then her life is really a failure. In this life, she probably doesn't even never had.

"You used to scare me and your father when you were young. At that time, I had to worry about you all day long. I don't know why since I gave birth to you, I like to think wildly and have no patience for anything. Nora told me that I might Got postpartum blues. I find it strange because when I was pregnant with you, I felt uncomfortable all day, I couldn’t even sleep well, I was dying so hard, how could I be depressed at the end of my life if I didn’t get depressed when I was so uncomfortable.”

Blanche looked down at Camelia when she talked about this kindness, then stroked her hair and continued.

"Maybe it's because you were born prematurely. You didn't look good when you were born. Your whole body was purple and your skin was wrinkled. I was so painful that I was about to pass out. The first time I saw you, I was actually angry." , I was so angry that I wanted to cry, I don’t remember what I was thinking at the time, maybe I was confused because of the pain. I probably felt that it took so much effort and so much suffering to give birth to such an ugly little monkey. It's not worth it. But I don't know why the moment the nurse handed you into my arms, my heart softened all of a sudden, and I just felt that this little monkey became more and more pleasing to the eye."

"After a few days, you started to look better, and you looked better every day. It wasn't until this time that we discovered that you still had such a special birthmark on your face. Because you were born at night, we felt that you It was probably a gift from the Moon Goddess. For this reason, we thought of many names related to the moon, but after searching for a long time, we couldn’t find one that satisfied us all.”

"No wonder my grandparents kept calling me 'Lune' which means crescent in French." said Camelia.

"It was almost your name. While I was staying in the hospital racking my brains for your name, your father brought us a bouquet of camellias one morning and told me that the flowers in the house were all blooming. You can see it when you pick us up in a few days. You were sleeping on a small bed next to me. You didn’t cry or make a fuss. You were very good, like an angel. I looked at the flowers in my hand and went to Look at you sleeping, this look is amazing, the more I look at it, the more I feel that my daughter looks like a flower."

When she said this, she gently touched the birthmark at the corner of Camelia's eye with her lips.

"I think I chose the right name back then. You have grown more and more beautiful these years, and you are about to catch up with me when I was young."

Because Camelia seldom hears her mother's praise, she is a little embarrassed to be said, "But I haven't inherited your beauty at all..."

"You are the child of me and your father, so there is no reason to be ugly. But something happened on the second day after we happily named you..." Blanche gave a wry smile, "We never feel that we are the same as you. There is nothing abnormal about other children than you, but they cry more than other children, and their skin is a little purple. I thought it might be because you were born too early, maybe when you are older Well, your dad and I really didn't think of..."

"When the doctor told me that you might not live to be three years old and asked me to prepare myself mentally, I almost went crazy... I thought about it later, and thought that maybe this was God's punishment for my previous unruly behavior Well, it may also be the collective curse of those witches who have been hurt by me."

Camelia was very confused when she heard this, "Punishment and curse? Mom, I don't understand. Why do you think so?"

"It's because mom, before she met your dad, was the kind of girl people would describe as having a rough life and bad morals."

Blanche is very frank with her daughter, and she doesn't shy away from talking about her crazy youth.

"I was not sensible at the time, I was too young and too self-willed, and I couldn't stand so many rules and regulations in the family. Your grandfather is such a serious and decent old man who really cares about everything. Many of Beauxbaton's current rules were made by him when he was in office. Now All of them have been used. In short, on the surface, I am the kind of standard lady who can’t find any faults, but behind the scenes, I play crazily than anyone else, especially in terms of emotions.”

This somewhat subverted Camelia's understanding, because since she could remember, her mother has always been a rigid and rigid person like Percy and Mr. Crouch in her eyes.

"It can be said that almost any boy I fancy will fall in love with me in the end. For me, this is as easy as eating and sleeping. I have had many boyfriends, but every one The time of dating is no more than one month at most. I admit that I am really too picky sometimes, and I always like to suddenly pick on their faults. Almost everyone has been picked on, so in the end, few can stand me. But it’s okay, If this one doesn’t work, I’ll find the next one, anyway, I’ll find a new one soon.”

The look on Blanche's face when she said these words reminded Camelia of Leon and Fleur, both of whom liked to show off their superiority to others.

"Of course I know that I am not a good girl, and I never deny it. At that time, I thought being a bad girl was fine, and I was even happier than most good girls. I like to meddle in other people's feelings, steal The boyfriends of other girls, especially those who don't like me, even if I don't lack love at all, I don't care about their boys who love to death, they just think it's fun and a sense of accomplishment."

She stopped talking and thought for a while before continuing.

"I know this is too much, so I don't blame them for hating me, because sometimes even I think I am hateful, but when I watch them leave me one by one, I feel extremely empty inside, I feel like this person is really rotten, why not love a boy well, but I can't control myself when I am young, and I seem to be addicted. Just when I thought I would go on like this forever, I met your dad , everything seems to be destined."

"Does dad know what happened to you before?" Camelia couldn't help asking.

Blanche said, "Yeah, I told him all about it on our first date. You must be thinking I'm crazy, what if this scares him away? It's our first date after all." A date."

Camelia shook her head, "On the contrary, I didn't think you were crazy. You must have loved Dad so much that you didn't want to deceive him. You felt that what you did in the past made you feel inferior and that you were not worthy. He's gone, tell him just to get him to leave because you think he deserves better."

This remark surprised Blanche, and after several hesitation, she spoke again: "Honey, you actually know love better than anyone else, that's why you live so hard, because it also means You are always wronging yourself for others."

Camelia said: "If it is for the person I love, I am willing to give anything. Of course, Mom, I love you too."

Seeing her daughter hugging her tightly, Blanche couldn't help laughing, and the whole person also relaxed, and continued to talk about the first date with Mr. Shafiq.

"Your father also said something similar to me. After I talked to him that day, he was silent for a long time without speaking, and I didn't dare to look at him. I lowered my head and thought wildly. I think this is the end of our relationship. I was very sad at the time, but I didn’t regret telling him, because I didn’t lie, I was such a girl. At that time, the World Cup was not over yet, and we sneaked out of our tent in the middle of the night while our family was not paying attention. Looking at the stars from the ground is supposed to be very romantic, but I know I screwed everything up."

Camelia listened intently, because this was the first time her mother had told her so seriously about the past, the things that happened before she was born.

"I don't know how long it took before he suddenly grabbed my shoulders and excitedly pointed to the sky and told me that there were shooting stars, but I looked up and found that he was lying. Although there are many stars in the sky, none of them are about to fall. .Because he lied to me, so I gave him an angry look. He said that I was too slow to react, but it didn't matter, he knew it would be like this, so he made a wish in advance. I asked him to tell me that What, he refused to say unless I kissed him, and then I kissed him without hesitation. So he said, what he promised was that I would only harm him from now on... At that time, I was thinking I'm finished, I'm definitely going to marry this guy and have a baby for him."

"So you only went to harm Dad, and then there was me." Camelia said.

"You, it will be a few years later. Because my family didn't approve of me marrying to England at that time, and your grandparents didn't want a French daughter-in-law, especially your father has a baby mother." Bu When Lan Qi said this, she complained a little, "It is said that I was harming him, but in fact he also harmed me. I ran away with him desperately and held a wedding with him in a small church without telling my family. I don't admit it, but we can be considered a legal couple after all this trouble. About a year later, when I had you in my stomach, they accepted this fact and held a formal wedding for us again."

"So I wasn't an accident? Oh my god, I thought... because they all said you had me in your stomach when you got married, Dad because..." Camelia was already crying come out.

Blanche gently stroked Camelia's back, "Never. It's our fault, we didn't make it clear to you. But I think if you tell your parents that they eloped back then, it will make you feel that elopement is very Okay, what if you and your boyfriend learn from us in the future?"

Camelia wiped away her tears and said, "But Mom, you don't look like someone who would do such things at all. Are you making up stories to make me happy?"

"That's because after my mother gave birth to you, I became more and more aware that I had done too many wrong things in the past, especially whenever I saw you getting sick, I was really scared in my heart, and I often stared at you without worrying." If you dare to blink, I'm afraid that you may leave us in the blink of an eye." Blanche said, "It's okay for me to have an accident, I deserve it, but my daughter can't suffer this kind of crime because of my sin. So I started to change myself and let myself be a well-behaved person. Although I restrained a lot after meeting your father, it was not enough. I even started to eat vegetarian food, trying to atone for the mistakes I made before. Because I hope my daughter can live to be three years old, 30 years old, or even a hundred years old."

Camelia said cautiously: "In fact, I don't have to live so long. And mom, sometimes you are too serious. I always hope you can be more interesting."

Unexpectedly, Blanche put on a straight face, "No, you have to live to that age for me, otherwise..."

Camelia interrupted her, stammering, "You're starting again. That's why you always make me feel really scared of you sometimes, because you're always demanding a lot, and you're always dissatisfied with my performance, Dad doesn't do that, so I prefer to live with him."

"But I'm strict with you. It's for your own good. Why don't you understand my intentions? I just hope you don't make mistakes like I did when I was young, and don't feel regretful for breaking the rules one day in the future."

"But what I was most afraid of when I was a child was to see your disappointed eyes, because other children have awakened their magical talent, but I didn't. Obviously, apart from magic, I know much more than other little wizards, but you can only Telling me that it is useless to just know some Muggle things. You tore up my celestial observation record book, dropped my telescope, and asked me to learn magic within a day, and I was not allowed to eat or sleep if I didn't learn it."

The expression on Blanche's face was a bit unstoppable, "I was thinking that you are a wizard, what if you will never know magic? So I have to force you, otherwise you can't live in the wizarding world. Your father said that you must It would be outrageous to send you to Muggles, a wizard lives among Muggles..."

"But since then, I have often had nightmares, dreaming that I have one or two younger brothers and sisters who know magic, and then you don't want me."

"Honey, I never thought that this would have such a big impact on you, I just hope you can be like a normal little wizard. I really don't know..." Blanche covered her mouth in disbelief, and then She showed a guilty expression and said, "Can you forgive mom? Mom is also a first-time mom and has no experience. I thought I was doing the right thing. At that time, it was too..."

"It's all over, you are my mother." Camelia smiled with relief, then turned her eyes away, trying not to look at her, "Then if there is a next life, I will still be your daughter, okay? ? But I hope you won't be so harsh on me this time."

Blanche had already figured out what her daughter meant when she suddenly said such words, she rushed over and hugged her tightly, scolding loudly: "Jamie, what are you talking about? You will be fine."

After she finished speaking, she burst into tears and disturbed Madam Maxime, who took a long time to calm down Camelia's mother.

It had been a month since the Hogwarts people saw Camelia again, and it was just a few days after the first project of the Triwizard Tournament ended.She still looked weak, her speech was not as strong as before, and she had to take a breath after walking a few flights of stairs, which seemed worrying.

Everyone was asking why she didn't stay longer in the hospital, the girls didn't even dare to hug her hard, and even Fred and George talked to her softly and carefully, not as casually as they used to, just like She is like an untouchable porcelain doll now.

"It's so boring lying in St. Mungo's. You know? When I feel better, I'll go upstairs and talk to Professor Lockhart to pass the time. He can't remember anything now. He's much cuter than before, But I still like to sign autographs, because there are still many readers who send letters to him." Camelia told them.

Ron was uncomfortable hearing about Lockhart, though, because his old wand had caused this, so he was sorry for that.

They told Camelia what had happened at school while she was away, especially the first competition they had just finished.When Ron told Camelia how Harry fought the Hungarian Horntail heroically to get the golden egg, Harry stood aside in embarrassment and kept muttering that it was nothing, he just won by fluke of.

"I know that Leon came to see me as soon as the game was over. He told me everything, and he also said that you fly very well."

Harry felt that his face was burning hot when Camelia stared at him, but Hermione soon told Camelia about the quarrel between Ron and Harry, which made Harry feel suddenly He was not so happy anymore, but worried that this would make him lose the image he had so hard to build in the other party's mind. Besides, he was afraid that she would know that everyone in school was a Potter stinky shit Badge, and even more afraid that she would read those stupid things in the "Daily Prophet".

But Harry didn't worry about this issue for too long, because Cedric came over, so everyone walked away knowingly.

Camelia gently stroked the burn marks on Cedric's face that had not completely faded, and said distressedly: "How did it happen? Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, I have something for you." Cedric shook her hand, shook his head, then grinned and took out a silver-blue Swedish short-snouted dragon from the pocket of his robe, and put it on. to Camelia's palm.

The little dragon spread its wings, exposed its tiny fangs, and spewed out a ball of flames from its mouth without any deterrence.

"Leon brought me a Welsh green dragon." Camelia regained some of her usual anger when teasing the little dragon.

Seeing her smile, Cedric breathed a sigh of relief, and then acted like a child who has done something wrong, "I thought you would never talk to me again."

"I also thought that I would never talk to you again. Especially in the first few days when I was admitted to the hospital, when I thought that you lied to me, I always cried secretly a few times, and then I got better. I'm crying." Camelia put the little dragon in her pocket, showing a pale smile.

"I'm sorry," Cedric said sadly.

"It's okay, I think I'm too serious. I know I'm not in good health, but I still have to think so much every day, so I can make myself into what I am now." Camelia said, "Who would have thought that I At this time last year, I was able to ride a broom with you, and now I have to rest several times in the middle of climbing the stairs."

"It's my fault that made you mad." Cedric could only blame himself.

"It's not your fault. I have a bad heart. Before I was 30, I had to have another operation. The operation I had when I was a child didn't work very well. It just allowed me to live a few more years. These years are nothing but Fortunately, I have been fine, and I still have depression, and the medicine has side effects, which put a lot of burden on my heart, but I really have nothing to blame others, because I didn’t take care of myself.”

"Will it be okay after that operation?" Cedric swallowed nervously.

"I don't know, it's hard to say. If the operation is successful, I will probably be able to live like a normal person in the future, but the success rate of this is still quite low. But even if I don't do it, I won't live to be 30 anyway, so Sooner or later, I still have to do it, and judging from my current situation, I can live for a few years at most."

Camelia said indifferently, as if discussing with him what to have for breakfast and lunch tomorrow, which made Cedric even more unacceptable.He thought he shouldn't be crying at this time, but when he thought that his beloved girl might only have so many years left, his heart felt like bleeding, and he wished he could gouge out his heart and give it to her now.

"You'll be fine." He hugged Camelia, "Let's go back to the hospital, and I'll take care of you."

"Don't persuade me, I'm just thinking that if this is my last few years, I don't want to waste it all in the ward. Actually, I'm much better, but I'm a little tired of packing up and going back to school recently. I'll stay here for a few days Talk to you and you will get better." Camelia said, "I haven't died so soon, so don't worry too much about me. If there is no accident, the operation is scheduled for the second half of next year."

"Cami, you will be fine, because I still want to marry you, and I won't let you leave me before you become my bride." Cedric said.

Camelia sighed softly and said, "You idiot, don't wait for me, I'm afraid I won't have the luck to be Mrs Diggory."

"Yes! Why not?"

Camelia felt him hug her tighter, which made her breathless.

"So that's why you broke up with me earlier?"

"That's it."

Camelia thought that even if her heart disease didn't get worse, she would probably die for him. Maybe it was doomed when she chose to come to this time and space for him, but even if she didn't come for him Well, in that time and space, it was time for her to have an operation, no matter what, she would be doomed, and it would be more dangerous to choose which side to choose, so it would be better to simply take a big gamble.

"You should have told me, I can't abandon you because of this, I'd be nothing." Cedric said in a rough voice, he was afraid that Camelia would hear that he was crying, "Isn't that operation still possible to succeed? Let's bet that you will be one of the lucky ones. If you survive, then you will not be allowed to escape in the future. No matter what, I will marry you. How can you To say such stupid things as not being blessed to be my wife is obviously—"

Cedric held Camelia's face in his arms, looked directly into her eyes and said solemnly: "It is the greatest blessing in my life to be able to marry you."
