[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory

Chapter 68 Original Sin

Marietta Eckmore hated Camelia Shafik, growing up, because for a long time she thought it was the girl and her French mother who took away what was rightfully theirs Everything about Mother and Daughter Akemo.

As far as Marietta can remember, whenever Mr. Aikemo did anything that displeased Mrs. Aikemo, she would not hesitate to mention in front of her daughter the relationship between her school days and the school's influential figures at that time. Erwin Shafik is a recognized couple in the past. She always said that she was originally going to be Mrs. Shafik. If it wasn't for the opposition from her family back then, if it wasn't for the French woman using some shameful words Means, how could she be so wronged to marry Mr. Aikemo, a wretch.

Mr. Aikemo is a wimp, and Marietta's first knowledge of her father came from her mother.I don’t know if it’s because of her mother’s influence, but Marietta doesn’t think much of her father, and she is often disappointed that she has such a father, and always feels that he makes her look down in front of other children.

Marietta's father was just a small clerk in the Ministry of Magic. His daily work was so simple that he only needed to stamp bright red stamps one by one mechanically. There was no need to look over and check the documents, because those documents had long since gone through layers of approval. There is no problem at all, what fell into his hands was just the photocopies that were kept for backup, and what he had to do was to put these photocopies in the file bag and stamp the logo of "British Ministry of Magic" on it. This kind of work not only made him He has no sense of presence in the ministry, and can only get a meager salary every month, which is not uncommon for beggars.

But even this kind of work is almost impossible to do. The department has been undergoing drastic rectification in recent years. Of course, rectification means laying off a group of employees who have not contributed much to the department. Naturally, those simple tasks that can be replaced by training mice.

Now Mr. Ackmore and his colleagues in their tiny office, packing stamped documents into portfolios, are cheering every day to get back to work.

For them, if they lose this job, they don't know what to do to support their families. It seems that there is nothing they can do except this.

Mrs. Eckmore also worked in the Ministry of Magic. At first she and her husband started at the bottom, but after she had been promoted several levels, her husband still stayed where she was, and then looked at the people who came to the Ministry at the same time as them. A group of people, who is still staying at the bottom and mixing with the newcomers.

Before Marietta went to school, Mrs. Eckmore was already the deputy director of the Flyway Network Administration of the Department of Magical Transportation, which made her look down on her good-for-nothing husband even more, and stayed at home all day after work. He seems to have all the grievances he suffered at work on his husband, and Mr. Aikemo is cowardly by nature. In addition, Mrs. Aikemo has mainly relied on Mrs. Aikemo for his family's financial resources these years, so facing his wife's blood When scolding his head, he often kept silent, and he didn't even dare to vent his breath. His submissive appearance was simply not a man at all, and even their young daughter felt that his father was living a worthless life.

It was under her husband's silent connivance that Mrs. Aikemo began to recall her beautiful and wonderful girlhood more and more frequently while scolding him. Among them, the most difficult thing for her to let go was undoubtedly the part in her mouth that envied others. romantic.At home, she almost took the phrase that she would have become Mrs. Shafiq as a mantra, and she kept it on her lips all day long.

When Marietta accidentally knocked over the glass full of milk and spilled it everywhere, Mrs. Aikemo would clean up and complain that it would be nice if there was a house elf in the house, because it would not be easy at all. She, the hostess, needs to do it herself. At that time, Marietta was still young, so she immediately turned her head and asked Mr. Aikemo who was beside her childishly, "Dad, where can we find someone who can work for us?" Where's the elf?"

"Dream! You can't find it anywhere, these little beasts only serve those families with old and noble pure blood! Why don't you ask your good father why he is just a man from such an ordinary man like Aikemo. The wizard in the wizard family can no longer be more ordinary, it is he who made our mother and daughter have a bad life." Mrs. Aikemo wrinkled her nose, as if something extremely stinky was placed in front of her, "But Sand The Fick family is different. In their manor there are at least three or four little elves who have been serving them for generations and are always at their master's beck and call. I should have married Erwin in the first place. lady……"

Such dramas are often staged at home. Later, Mrs. Aikemo, who became more and more involved in the drama, did not even let go of her daughter's bedtime story time. She continuously instilled in her daughter her dream of a better life. Soon, her daughter also fell into the fairy tale she made up and couldn't extricate herself. She had a silly dream with her, and imagined several times every day that if Mrs. Aikemo married Mr. Shafik back then, what would happen to their mother? How happy and carefree the girl's little life will be.

For little Marietta, Mr. Shafik, who has never met in the population of Aikmov, is the man who almost became her father. He is almost perfect and is the best father candidate in every daughter's mind.

According to Mrs. Aikemo, Mr. Shafik is extremely handsome. Compared with Mr. Aikemo's appearance, one can be said to be an angel from heaven who has been bathed in the holy light all year round, while the other is from hell and was killed by hell. smoky demon.Although Mr. Aikemo's appearance is only ordinary, it is absolutely impossible to be as exaggerated as Mrs. Aikemo described, but it can also be seen that her dislike of her husband has accumulated to this point over time.

Mrs. Aikemo was charming and lovely when she was young, and she was considered outstanding among the crowd, but these years of unsatisfactory marriage and unsatisfactory life turned her into a boring woman. The rotten apples in the trash that no one picks up, and a bunch of trivial things in life, such as annoying flies, have been buzzing around her, and they can't be driven away, so she complains all the time when she comes home. It seems that all the bad things in the world have happened to her, she is the most unfortunate person in the world, and the only time she can smile at home is when she recalls her story mixed with a lot of lies. dreamy youth.

It was under the influence of her mother that sometimes when Marietta held the doll in her arms and combed the doll's hair in front of the mirror, she saw her slightly ordinary face reflected in the mirror, and she would think that if she was the handsome If the daughter of Mr. Shafiq is not the daughter of the mediocre Mr. Aikemo, then she will no longer have to worry about her nose not being straight enough, her eyes not big enough, and she will definitely look more beautiful than now , because most daughters will look like her father, but she is one of those many who neither has an uncommonly handsome father, nor is she immune to the idea.

In this poor family, Marietta Ackermo inherited her father's mediocre looks and mother's whiny disposition, which made her a bit of a nuisance, but she was kind of a character if she didn't talk. A cute little girl, but this cuteness is not considered an advantage, because her cuteness is too stereotyped, like all the little girls around the same age, once a girl like them grows up to a certain age, especially married, there will be After having a child, even the last bit of cuteness they are proud of will disappear together, and they will completely become that boring and sad woman.

When Marietta sees pretty girls being treated like gentlemen by the naughtiest boys, complimented and kissed on the cheek by grown-ups, she grows more eager to be a pretty girl and wonders if her The idea that her father is Mr. Shafik became more and more intense, because if she could become Miss Shafik, she would not only become beautiful, but also live in a big house, have loyal servants to serve her, and spend money as she wanted. Buy anything, don't care about the price at all.

The young Marietta knew that she had two fathers, one was by her side, a trash who gave her life but couldn't do anything well, and the other only existed in her mother's mouth, but he had the ability to satisfy her All dream capabilities.Compared with a father who repeatedly disappointed herself and her mother, Marietta would rather have that man who does not belong to her and her mother be her father at all. He can just live in their imagination, of course, if one day he becomes It's the best thing, her desire to become Miss Shafik is no weaker than her mother's desire to be Mrs. Shafik for most of her life.

I don't know if it was God's intention to make their dreams come true. Later, Mr. Shafiq divorced his wife. The French woman who robbed Mrs. Aikemo's first love finally packed her luggage and obediently returned to her home. The homeland has gone, and the unworthy position that she has occupied for many years has been vacated.

As soon as the news came out, the British wizarding community was shocked, and the "Daily Prophet" was out of stock. Everyone believed that this was the biggest scandal among the pure-blooded 28 families in recent years. It is even more shocking news that a Squib child was born in such a pure wizard family, and a loving couple turned against each other.

But few people know that Aikemo's house is also like the heated corn kernels in a hot pot that explode into crispy popcorn after covering the pot.

After reading the newspaper that day, Mrs. Aikemo couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad. She just drank a whole bottle of red wine in silence. When Mr. Kemo coaxed her back to sleep, she suddenly became drunk and clamored to divorce Mr. Aikemo. When she was drunk, she planned to take her daughter to her first love, who was good at everything. , she firmly believes that Mr. Shafik urgently needs her tenderness at this time, even though she has never shown this tenderness to her husband, but now she wants to please this tenderness that even her husband has never enjoyed Another man who might have forgotten her long ago.

But even in the face of his wife's unreasonable troubles, Mr. Aikemo still didn't dare to say anything. He shrank his head and dragged his daughter to plead with his wife without dignity, begging her not to divorce and not to take away their only daughter. This family cannot be broken up.

Seeing that her husband disagreed, Mrs. Aikemo lost her temper. She didn't know if she was pretending to be crazy by drinking, or if these drunken nonsense were her inner voice for many years.

That day, she smashed many things in the house like crazy, including the floral china they ordered when they were married, a landscape painting they painted together on their honeymoon, and a commemorative sculpture made to celebrate Marietta's birth. The most regrettable thing is that Mrs. Aikemo smashed the family photo hanging on the bedside of their bedroom together with the photo frame to the ground. The photo was scratched again, and a good home was split into two halves.

Exactly half mother and daughter, half father.

Mr. Aikemo left and never came back. After all, he was hardened for a while, and Marietta never saw her father again.

In the few years before he left them, he still remembered sending greeting cards and gifts on his daughter’s birthday and Christmas, but then he didn’t send anything. It was said that he went to the United States on the other side of the ocean, where After staying for a few years, they re-established a new family and had children.

It wasn't until many years later that Marietta learned of her father's death in the letters sent by her half-brothers and sisters. At the same time, he left her a considerable inheritance. At that time, Marietta Ta has almost become the second Mrs. Aikemo, but she still lives more consciously than her mother, but it is not much better.

No one asked why Mr. Aikemo suddenly abandoned their mother and daughter, because everyone knew it well. Mrs. Aikemo was not an easy person to get along with. She kept a sullen face all day long, as if someone owed her I paid her a large sum of Galleons and did not return it. She hardly had any friends in the ministry. It seemed that she only had business affairs in her eyes, but her ability was still good. This was recognized. When she was promoted later, she became a After becoming the director of the Magical Transportation Department's Feilu Network Management Bureau, no one dared to gossip. No one would ask such stupid things as why she didn't change her surname after she got divorced.

Mrs. Aikemo, who became a single mother after her husband left, took care of the child alone, but the life of the mother and daughter was not very hard, especially when she was promoted later, and she took part of the monthly salary from the ministry. It is more than enough to raise a child. Sometimes I am too busy to take care of the child, and I can send the child to her grandparents for a period of time, and bring it back when I am free.

However, Mrs. Aikemo did not become the next Mrs. Shafik as she wished in the end, because when she finished her divorce, another woman would have taken her place. Marietta thought that her mother would be hysterical again because of this news, and put She was also driven away from this family, but Mrs. Aikemo accepted the fact calmly, as if she had finally given up on this ridiculous wish that had lasted most of her life.

It was during these few years that Marietta gradually began to think about the goodness of her father, who was called "a wimpy man". A child without a father, like a child without a mother, loses a tree that shelters him from wind and rain. Behind the tree, she has to work harder than those children with happy and sound families to grow up obliquely and tenaciously, and she has to be ridiculed by those children who are in the blessings but do not know the blessings. Her temper is also in the past few years. She became worse and worse, and she could not hear others say that she was not good at all, nor could she see that others were not good at all.

In the crowded Lihen Bookstore that year, 11-year-old Marietta finally met Mr. Shafik, who had been only active in rumors for her.

Her mother did not lie to her. Mr. Shafik is indeed much more handsome than her biological father, Mr. Aikemo. It can even be said that he looks like a movie star in Muggle mouths. Her grandmother has Muggle blood. Take her to see a movie or two in the Muggle world, so she knows that in Muggle terms, if you want to describe a person's good looks, then you can say that he looks like a movie star. It was a fashionable term in their day.

For a moment, Marietta felt as if she could hardly breathe, and she heard her mother call out in surprise to the tall man she had fantasized about for most of her childhood to be his daughter, and she even She also secretly thought that she was the illegitimate child of him and his mother, and that she was the real Miss Shafik. The French woman just used some means to snatch him away from her mother, causing their family to be separated. I don’t know why that innocent little head once believed that if Mr. Shafiq ran into their mother and daughter on the street one day, he would recognize her mother, rekindle his old relationship with her, and take them back to him. For this reason, she is always preparing for the arrival of this day.

But all illusions were shattered when Mr. Shafik turned his head and stared blankly at the mother and daughter for a long time. It seemed that he didn't know any of them, until Mrs. Aikemo stepped forward and took the initiative. After introducing himself, he stretched his furrowed brows and smiled a little.

Then they exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Mr. Shafik said that he was here to buy books for his daughter. At this time, Marietta's heart had already been broken into many pieces, and it was difficult to put it back together, because she couldn't help Mr. Shafik. He found any evidence on his face that he and her mother had ever been in love, and even faced Mrs. Aikemo's hot eyes. He was actually a little impatient. He seemed to be extremely tired of her mother, because it seemed Mr. Shafiq is the kind of well-bred person who is not very good at showing his true emotions to others, but now he is so obvious that even a child can see it.

But Mrs. Aikemo turned a blind eye to this, her eyes were shining, and she insisted on taking this old classmate to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink, saying that she wanted to catch up with the past, but Mr. Shafik seemed reluctant, but she enthusiastically pulled He grabbed his sleeve and refused to let it go, which made it hard for him to refuse.

Marietta, who was standing aside, seemed to understand the relationship between them, but she didn't seem to fully understand it, but what she didn't know was that at this time, she already knew a lot about this kind of thing compared to children of the same age.But whether she understood it or not, Marietta had understood a very sad thing. Her mother had been deceiving her and herself for so many years.

Her mother can't be Mrs. Shafik, whether there is that French woman or not, because Mr. Shafik has never liked her at all, and he hasn't even remembered her name over the years, otherwise he wouldn't have met after so many years. As for not even being able to call out the names of old classmates.

Originally, this was already unacceptable, but Marietta met the genuine Miss Shafik that day, and because of this, she felt more and more how pathetic she and her mother were.

Probably out of good upbringing, Mr. Shafik did not feel angry at Mrs. Aikemo's stalking behavior, but kindly discussed with her not to drink, and suggested that he treat his two children to Eat an ice cream at the cold drink shop in Diagon Alley, because he will take his daughter to a Muggle technology exhibition later, and the young Miss Shafik is very obsessed with Muggle technology.

When Mr. Shafik talked about his daughter with a proud face, Marietta heard a cold snort from his mother's nose, but fortunately Mr. Shafik didn't notice, he turned to the corner of the bookstore and shouted a pronunciation lovely name.

Marietta followed Mr. Shafik's gaze. That was the first time she saw Camelia Shafik. The young lady was leaning against a bookshelf near the counter, Holding a book bigger than her head.

Marietta couldn't recognize or spell every word written on the cover of the book. Maybe those words weren't in English at all. She could only guess from the constellation pattern drawn on it that it might be a book. Books related to horoscope divination, one of her aunts was proficient in it.

Her aunt disguised herself as a gypsy girl and lived in a tent as a fortune teller for Muggles, mainly in terms of love fortune. Better to fool than a wizard.Before divination, use a few simple magic tricks to frighten the guests who come to the door, so that they can firmly believe in the results of divination and pay for it.

Marietta hated Camelia from the first moment she saw her, for the simple reason that she realized that this beautiful, intelligent girl had pretty much everything she could want, except for the fact that she had a good father It is enough to make people jealous for a lifetime.

As the two children sat side by side on a bench eating ice cream, Marietta observed that Camelia was so engrossed that she couldn't even eat the ice cream in her hand, which was her favorite strawberry flavor, and she let it go Melting in the sun, the viscous ice cream flowed down the cone and onto her hands and skirt.

Seeing that Marietta didn't eat the ice cream in her hand, but kept staring at her, Camelia thought that she didn't like that flavor, and asked Marietta if she wanted to try hers. If she liked this flavor, she could Ask Dad to buy another one. If you don't like even the one in her hand, then pick another one you like to eat.

Obviously there was no malicious concern, but the sensitive Marietta heard something different in it, and she vigorously slapped the half-eaten ice cream in Camelia's hand to the ground.

Seeing the froze smile on Camelia's face, Marietta felt extremely relieved for some reason. Although she would inevitably be scolded by her mother when she went back afterwards, she did not regret doing so.

Later, the older Marietta finally figured out that her mother's liking was all wishful thinking.

When he was a student, Mr. Shafik never had a relationship with her at all, and he didn't even have any thoughts about her from the beginning to the end, but he was elected as the prefect of that class at the same time, and he happened to be in the same college.

Almost every class of students will joke that each house in Hogwarts has male and female prefects. Maybe it is to provide convenience for good students to fall in love. Just such a joke, but Mrs. Eckmore It became evidence that everyone said that she and Mr. Shafiq were a good match.

After graduation, she didn't have much contact with her classmates, so it was all up to her to tell the truth, and she only told her family members, so there was no need to worry about whether they would verify it, but The reason why she made it up like this was because she didn't want to admit that it was her fault that her life had turned out like this. Out of vanity and unwillingness, and to make her husband feel more guilty about herself, she chose to lie. The ivory tower built up bit by bit to avoid the bad life, but in the end it got too deep into the drama.

In this way, Marietta hated that family even more. She thought why there was a gap between people and why she was always the one who sent others. Naturally, she was not convinced about this, so She always targeted Camelia everywhere in school, even though the latter didn't know that there was such a tortuous relationship between them, but it didn't matter, Marietta would never tell her, she didn't want it Her rivals knew that it was because of her that they felt inferior, and they feared that they would never be friends in this lifetime.

On the first day of school, Marietta was surrounded by new friends who had just met on the train. She pointed to Camelia who was greeting her and said loudly, "Oh, this is not a squib. Miss."

Afterwards, everyone said that it was at that time that they had a feud.

The author has something to say:

The main content of the previous episode "Love Chronicle" is about the process of Seide's secret love. I originally wanted to write it sweeter, but the secret love is afraid that you know I like you but you don't know the tangled contradictions. It is not easy to write. It's sweet, so that's all I can do.The original plan for this episode should have another chapter, which is to write about the plot of Seid and Jamie's confession together, but for some reason, there is no inspiration, and I can't write it at all, so it's almost stuck there.

Now let’s talk about this episode, the plot is based on the previous life, mainly the story of the supporting characters, each chapter is single-person, after reading the above, you can probably guess who will appear in this episode next.

The setting of the story about Marietta refers to a novel "Jasmine Fragrance" by Mr. Zhang Ailing (this novel is very good, if you are interested, you can read it). In addition, the role of Marietta in the original work is not only a whistleblower. I haven’t mentioned it much, so many settings are free to play. Some readers said that she is a low-profile version of Malfoy. Indeed, I am writing this character according to the Malfoy in the book, because in the book Malfoy Fu often takes his followers to harass Harry, so I refer to it.Regarding this character, it's actually similar to Malfoy, not really bad, but not a good guy either.
