[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory
Chapter 92 Christmas Extravaganza
When Camelia Shafik was very young and still believed in Christmas legends, she made a wish to Santa Claus - she hoped that Santa Claus would use his incredible magic to turn her into a Muggle child.She even wrote a long letter to explain why and she voluntarily gave up future Christmas presents, as long as she could become a real Muggle girl instead of a little wizard, and she secretly sent the letter before going to bed. Tuck it into her Christmas stocking.
But the next morning, to little Camelia's disappointment, Santa Claus did not perform his miracles as usual, because her bedroom was still full of signs of magic.
The house-elf who helped Camelia wake up, when she was braiding her hair, reminded her little master to behave better than usual today, because the mistress had lost her temper with the master early in the morning, and But it's still Christmas, a festival that everyone can't hate and refuse.
Camelia listened casually to the chatter of the old elf who had served her grandma. Her hands hidden under the dressing table had already tightly grasped the fur balls used for decoration on the Christmas sweater, and put a new dress on Wrinkled, with a sad face on her face, she was thinking about what would make her mother throw a tantrum on Christmas morning, and Camelia began to tremble involuntarily when she thought of her mother's angry appearance .
But Santa didn't completely disappoint.
After Camelia washed up, she put on an expression of eagerness and excitement that ordinary children should show at Christmas and rushed downstairs to check her Christmas presents. By this time, the Christmas stockings hanging on the fireplace had long since become Heavy, Santa Claus not only packed a pair of beautiful silver and white skates inside, but also a reply letter.
In the letter, Santa Claus patiently explained to Camila the reasons why he could not fulfill her wish, listed many benefits of being a wizard in one breath, and promised her that many little muggles are envious of little wizards She can learn magic, but learning magic is exactly why Camelia doesn't want to continue to be a little wizard.
When Camelia finished reading the letter, Dad Erwin Shafik just appeared by the Christmas tree. Although his face was full of smiles, there was still a look of tiredness in his eyes that could not be concealed.
After hearing her father's shout, Camelia crumpled up the letter and stationery and stuffed them back into the Christmas stocking in a panic, then excitedly ran to Mr. Shafik with the presents from Santa Claus.
"Wow, it looks like Santa Claus has given you a great present!" Mr. Shafiq said.
Camelia nodded, put the gift under the Christmas tree and piled it up with other gifts, then stood on tiptoe and extended his arms to Mr. Shafik, who immediately knew what his daughter meant.He crouched down and hugged Camelia in his strong, powerful arms.
"My dear father, I wish you a Merry Christmas!" Camelia kissed Mr. Shafik on the cheek after she finished speaking.
"My baby, Merry Christmas!"
Mr. Shafiq kissed Camelia on the cheek several times, but his beard made Camelia giggle and giggle.
Because Mrs. Shafik kept urging the father and daughter to have breakfast, Mr. Shafik discussed with Camelia whether he could wait until the morning to unwrap the presents under the Christmas tree, seeing Camelia nodded obediently , he happily kissed the birthmark on the corner of her eye, but he did not put Camelia down, but carried her all the way to the dining room.
Mrs. Shafik, who had already been sitting at the dining table waiting for them, saw that Camelia was hanging on Mr. Shafik in the posture of a koala hanging from a tree. If she can kill a fly, she will reprimand her husband with the opening of her mouth.
"Erwin, how many times have I said that although it's a pity that we didn't give Cammy a healthy and strong heart like the other children, at least we didn't leave her without arms and legs. What? Our daughter is one of those The Little Mermaid in some stupid Muggle story? Every step I take is like stepping on the tip of a knife? You carry her everywhere you go? You'll spoil her, we can't let her go for nothing Such a pair of straight legs."
"But Jamie, I like it best when I carry her around like this. Don't you?" Mr. Shafiq said to his daughter, who was holding her tightly around his neck. "Your mother was joking with you. Our The Little Mermaid must have wanted to be Mom and Dad's child, so she swam ashore."
Mrs. Shafik stared at Camelia and said with a serious expression: "Come down, remember to walk by yourself in the future, don't allow anyone to hug you."
In this family, there is no such thing as someone who has the absolute right to speak. It can be said that every family member is equal, and even little Camelia can make decisions completely according to her intentions in certain matters, but Shafei Mr. Ke can't influence his wife's educational philosophy on their children, especially in recent years they have always had ambiguities on how to educate their daughter to become a qualified witch, which seems to have become a major stumbling block on their way to maintain a happy married life.
Originally, Mrs. Shafik had a rule that everyone in the family was not allowed to talk during meals. This was not only because talking with something in their mouth was indecent, but also for safety reasons, but as the person who set this rule, She made an exception on what was supposed to be a family-friendly Christmas morning.
"Camelia, Mom wants to ask you something... You—why do you want to make such a wish with Santa Claus? Do you hate magic so much? You even wish you were a Muggle so that you don't have to learn magic."
Camelia was so frightened by the sudden question that the spoon in her hand fell into the bowl, and the sweet porridge splashed onto her Christmas sweater. She looked at Mrs. Shafik in confusion. She thought it was just her and Christmas. The little secret between the old people will not be known by others, but it is obvious that Santa Claus has failed her trust and went to her mother to make a small report.
Could it be said that a little wizard envies that Muggle children don't need to worry about whether they have awakened their magic power and whether they are qualified to learn magic in the future? Is this the idea of bad children?
"I, I..." Camelia hesitated, didn't know how to explain, and didn't know how to calm her mother's anger that might have been brewing all morning. This was too complicated for a child of hers. She tried She looked at her father on the side with a begging look, hoping that he could help her.
It's a pity that before Mr. Shafik spoke, Mrs. Shafik's emotions had completely collapsed.
"Why are you so unmotivated! Jamie, Mommy doesn't ask much of you, and she has never disliked you to embarrass me. Why do you have such a terrible wish? Or is it because you don't want to be a wizard, but It's because you hate your mother and think that your mother is the worst woman in the world, so you don't want to be a mother's child anymore, do you think so?"
Mr. Shafik put his trembling daughter into his arms to comfort him immediately, and tried his best to comfort his hysterical wife, "Blanche, don't scare Jamie like this, she doesn't understand anything at such a young age." .”
"Aren't you upset, Erwin? Our daughter, our baby, she doesn't want us anymore, she's disappointed in having parents like us!"
Mr. Shafiq said with difficulty: "Have you ever thought that maybe we pushed her too hard. Honey, maybe I mean maybe, it's time for us to face some reality..."
Mrs. Shafik's eyes were red and she yelled at her husband like a madman, "No! She's not a Squib! There's nothing wrong with my baby! On my family's behalf, we from Du Bois Never had a Squib, and never had an affair with a Muggle."
She even fell off the chair due to too much force, and even so she kept repeating "my daughter is not a Squib", "she is a wizard, she can't be a Muggle", "I and I My family members are serious wizards"...
Since Camelia turned three years old, she still hasn't shown any signs of magical awakening. This has become another private family matter that is difficult to disclose to the outside world after her family learned that she has a congenital heart disease. Because looking at the entire magical world, there are not many little wizards who are as slow as Camille in awakening magic power, not to mention that their family is mixed in the circle of pure-blood wizards who pay special attention to this aspect.In the eyes of wizards, a little wizard who can't learn magic is almost equivalent to an imbecile of a Muggle, so after everyone joked behind their backs that the bride married by the always reserved and aloof Shafik family was a foreign witch, another one was ushered in. carnival.
What Camelia and her family didn't realize at the time was that whether she was a Squib or not, her dull wizarding talent would be a stain on her for a long time because she was a pureblood.
It was the worst Christmas ever, and the grandparents who arrived later had a long argument with her parents. Camelia also cried from morning to night. During this period, she almost had a heart attack due to excessive sadness. For a little while she naively wished she could just die.
It was also on that day that Camelia Shafik learned that Santa Claus does not exist in this world.
As early as when she was reading the letter, she recognized the familiar tone in the letter, even though her father purposely used a font that he didn't often use, but the wet ink and the proper timing had already revealed He also underestimated his daughter's precocious mind.
Why don't you want to be a wizard?
There were too many reasons for the young Camelia. She didn't want her family to be ashamed because of her, she didn't want to be laughed at and bullied by other young wizards of the same age at those parties, and she didn't want her family to quarrel over it. The last thing she wanted was to see her proud mother disappoint her again and again.
She didn't allow her to have an unrivaled talent for magic right away, because even she accepted the fact that she didn't seem to be born with any talent for learning magic, even though all her family members were wizards with blood that couldn't be more pure.She was afraid that it would be too greedy to make such a wish, and she would give such a precious thing as talent.
Camelia thought that if she was judged by the standards of a Muggle, she might be the outstanding child that many Muggle mothers yearn for, because she learns everything very quickly except magic, and she knows that she is smart , and knew that she was beautiful, but as a little wizard, she didn't know any magic, so all those advantages would be useless.
Ever since Camelia could remember, she seldom saw her mother smile, but when she flipped through the photo album, she found that the young Miss Dubois was always smiling, and the corners of her mouth rarely turned down. Her smile has a kind of magical contagion, which can make people feel better when they see it. Perhaps it is because of this that she easily captured the heart of Mr. Shafiq when she was young.
When Miss Dubois became Mrs. Shafik, her charming smile did not disappear, but added a trace of enviable happiness in it, but until she became a mother, she seemed to have lost her smile. All joy.
Because of this, Camelia has had a wish since she was a child to make her mother proud of her, even once.
More than ten years after that bad Christmas, when Camelia and a few friends got together to chat, they happened to talk about how they found out that the adults had made up lies about Santa Claus. Just over a week to go.
After Camelia finished sharing her sad Christmas story, the rest of the group fell silent for a long time.
Penello took the lead and said: "It sounds like you had a hard time when you were a child."
Camelia smiled bitterly, "It's all over, now it's better, at least they won't quarrel over this matter again."
Iris took Camelia's hand and said, "But now that you have us, we will never let you be so sad again."
The rest of the people also hurriedly echoed, Camelia froze for a moment and then smiled: "Thank you very much."
Audrey said, "Don't thank us, because you are good to everyone around you, and you deserve it."
I don't know if Camelia's story reminded April of some unpleasant memories, and she asked with a slightly serious expression: "Is Aunt Shafik proud of you now?"
"I don't know. My mother has always been very demanding. I have never heard her praise anyone since I can remember."
"Sure! You're so nice! I can't think of anything she could be dissatisfied with having a daughter like you. Does she not like your hair looking so golden? Or do you think your laugh is too sweet? Forgive me I, darling, can't really fault you for being displeasing to me."
Audrey praised Camelia from the bottom of her heart, and her words were so numb that even Camelia herself blushed when she heard it.
"Oh, Audrey, I'm ashamed to hear that."
"Don't be so modest, I'm telling the truth." Audrey spread her hands and said with a regretful expression, "It's such a pity, why can't I be a boy? If so, I will definitely try my best marry you."
After hearing this, Iris laughed fiercely, "It's a good thing Seid isn't here, otherwise with his temperament, he would definitely be jealous if he found out."
Penello also joined the ranks of joking, "I bet George is definitely not happy either, the object I need to be wary of is a beautiful girl."
Camelia said dumbfoundingly: "Oh, why are you coming to make trouble for me just after complimenting you?"
After the party was over, Audryse gave Camille a tightly wrapped paper bag, because she didn't attend their housewarming party last time, she felt somewhat sorry, and thought about what to give Camille Leah and Cedric's cohabitation life adds to the fun.
"It's just moving together. It won't be too late to send it off after you get married."
"A little thought, I'm sorry if I don't give you anything, besides, cohabitation is a big deal." Then Audrey said mysteriously, "It's not going to be Christmas soon, so I specially picked something with a strong festive atmosphere. I think you'll look great in it, but I don't know if Cedric will like it... so have a merry Christmas, both of you!"
Camelia finally accepted this gift, but she had roughly guessed what kind of gift it was from Audrey's malicious smile. The reason is that if she doesn't accept this gift, I'm afraid Audrey will give an even more extraordinary gift.
Camelia and Cedric have been dating for several years, but they have only recently begun to try to live together. At this moment, the two of them have only graduated from Hogwarts for a few years. One has just finished training and became an official Auror. One was still studying her doctorate at a Muggle university, so the two didn't have much income, but even so they insisted on supporting themselves and didn't want to rely on family support.
In fact, living together was discussed early, but Mr. Shafik strongly objected to the two people living together so early, even though Camelia and Cedric got engaged in their last school year. , but the conservative Mr. Shafik still insisted that the two should consider living together after they got married.
For this reason, Camelia spent a lot of time persuading her stubborn father in the past two years, and it was not until recently that she was able to succeed. The reason for Mr. Shafik's compromise was that Camelia promised him that at night She and Cedric would both stay in their rooms and sleep.
Because Mr. Shafik really believed in his daughter too much, and he couldn't bear to refuse any request made by his little girl to him, he finally agreed in desperation, but he immediately called Cedric to educate.
Because of this upbringing, Cedric, a silly boy, did strictly abide by the agreement with Mr. Shafik at the beginning of his cohabitation life, urging Camelia to return to his room as soon as the hour came every night. Sleeping, and determined not to touch her, made Camelia mistakenly think that he was sick and worried for a while.
Until one night, Camelia refused to leave, hugged Cedric and acted like a baby, saying that she was afraid to sleep alone.After this sleep, the bed in the other room became a decoration. The reason why Mr. Shafiq was looking at it was to make him feel at ease, but in fact he didn't feel at ease for too long.
The last time Camelia invited her parents to their small apartment, she revealed that she had not kept her promise with her father.
The reason was that Mr. Shafiq was afraid that his daughter would be short of money and would be embarrassed to tell him, so he wanted to secretly stuff some money in her bedroom before leaving, but accidentally found an unpacked box of condoms in her bedside cabinet.
Then he took the thing and called Cedric over angrily. He was sure that the bad boy Cedric had instigated his little moon to do bad things.
After seeing the things in Mr. Shafik's hand and his frantic face, Cedric looked extremely embarrassed. In addition, he was too honest. Basically, whatever Mr. Shafik asked, he would answer truthfully. It's all explained clearly.
Over there, Mr. Shafik was probably angry. Facing such an honest Cedric, he didn't know whether he should be glad that his son-in-law didn't treat him as a fool, and tried to continue to conceal that he had no agreement with him.
Camelia was more frank than Cedric, "Dad, I'm an adult now, isn't it normal to do this kind of thing with my fiancé? I don't believe you and your mother..."
"I didn't do that to your mother until I was legally married to her. But you're only engaged now, and you can't do—do that kind of thing so early."
Mr Shafiq still looked unacceptable.
"But getting engaged means getting married soon." Camelia snapped back, "Dad, I said I'm an adult, and I've come here to ask you how old your children are. And Seid knew what we were doing, and we were responsible for our actions. By the way, I actually knew how the baby got here before you told me the story of Song Zihe."
Mr. Shafiq said panicked, "Oh, you mean you knew that kind of thing when you were five years old? My God! Who told you, I'm going to rip that guy's mouth out."
"Don't get excited, I read about this in a book, and you know I always liked to read books by myself when I was a kid. Hey, there's no need to make such a fuss about men and women, but it's just—well, I'm actually very I slept with Seid early on and I know it's going to drive you nuts but we're engaged now and I don't quite understand why you'd be so worried that I'm sharing a room with my fiancé. After all I'm dying married this boy."
At this time, Mrs. Shafik complained about her husband, "I told you that our daughter is already an adult, and you shouldn't care about these things so much. I told you a long time ago, don't always Hold her, she will walk by herself in the future."
After hearing what his wife said, Mr. Shafik took a long time to calm down, and after a while he breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, Blanche, you talk a lot, our little moon has grown up, I have my own ideas, and I may really care too much."
"As long as you know," Mrs Shafiq said.
At this moment, Cedric, who hadn't spoken for a long time, stepped forward and hugged Camille's shoulders, looked at Mr. Shafik firmly and said, "Sir, please believe that I will definitely make Camille happy."
"I said this when you came to ask me to agree if you could propose marriage to Jiami. I still said the same thing back then. I don't believe in any promises. I want you to prove it to me. How can you give it to us? Jiajiami brings happiness." Mr. Shafiq glanced at Cedric angrily, "Why do you start calling me Mr. again?"
Camelia was also anxious for Cedric when she heard it, and couldn't help but say to him, "Idiot, I told you a long time ago, it's time to call him Dad."
"Yes, Dad, please rest assured that I will be good to Cammy." Cedric smiled hurriedly.
It was after this confession with Camelia's parents that Cedric and Camelia started their cohabitation life without shame and shame in a real sense. Like most young couples, they like it when they are free. Tired in the apartment together.
After saying goodbye to Audrey, Camelia didn't stay outside for too long, and immediately went back to her and Cedric's apartment, but when she got home, Camelia found that Cedric hadn't come back yet.
Maybe he was pulled to work overtime again, Camelia thought.So as she took off her coat, she thought about what supper she was going to make, and she and Cedric agreed that whoever arrived first would cook it.
Before preparing to cook, Camelia planned to see what gift Audrey gave her. As she expected, it was indeed not a serious gift, because Audrey gave her a very revealing pajamas, but said it was It's pajamas that are too far-fetched, why not just admit that it is a sexy underwear, or a cos Christmas elk style.
A few pieces of poor black fabric are sewn with a circle of brown fluff. There should be a round tail on the part of the buttocks. There are also a pair of elk horn hair clips in the bag, one with a pearl inlaid Long black strap collar and a pair of black fishnet socks.
Such cool "pajamas" Camelia has never owned before, and she has never had the idea of buying one, and she is not sure if Cedric will like it, but when she thinks that if she wears it Standing in front of Cedric like this is really a bit embarrassing, but it's not impossible to play this kind of fun once in a while.
Then Camelia thought about it seriously, and she didn't seem to have any need to please Cedric recently, so she scolded Audrey in her heart for being unreasonable, and then stuffed the lump back into the paper bag, and then she hid the paper bag into the closet.
While hiding things, Camelia was thinking about waiting for Cedric to behave well, and it would not be too late to prepare this surprise for him.
A few days later, it was almost Christmas, and Camelia managed to finish all the school affairs, and she could officially start her Christmas vacation, so she went home happily, opened the door and saw Cedric is standing in Santa Claus clothes next to a fully decorated Christmas tree in the living room.
"It looks like my Christmas present this year will be to have a handsome Santa Claus." Camelia leaned on the door frame and smiled at Cedric who was in a hurry.
Seeing that he had been discovered, Cedric didn't continue to tinker with the white fake beard hanging on his chin, "I thought you didn't come home so early today, so I wanted to try it on in advance. Well, as you can see, I am preparing a Christmas surprise for you. I really want my girls to have a memorable Christmas. Of course, I mean the kind of good surprises, not the kind you had when you were a child. I know that since then Afterwards, you don’t enjoy Christmas so much.”
"Oh, don't say that, I still love Christmas. Because it's a day when all the family and friends get together, and I don't think there's anything better than that." Camelia walked towards Cedric, "Special After being with you, I have enjoyed every Christmas, you don’t need to care about this. But I think you must be the most handsome and capable Santa Claus in the world except my father.”
Cedric lowered his head and chuckled, then put his arms around Camelia's waist, leaned his head on her shoulder and said softly: "What should I do? Jamie, I found that I seem to be jealous of your father .”
"Then you are really hopeless." Camelia scolded him with a smile.
"Yeah, it's really hopeless, but who told you to be so nice!"
Cedric kissed Camelia on the cheek as he spoke, and then his movements became rougher as the kiss deepened.
When Camelia noticed this, she held down Cedric's hand that was slipping from his waist.
"I've been busy all day, and I'm really hungry now, so can we talk about it later in the evening?" Camelia whispered in Cedric's ear, "I also have a surprise for you."
"Okay, let's eat first. What do you want to eat? I'll make it today."
"I'm not picky eaters, I like to eat whatever you do."
"So nice."
Cedric pinched Camelia's face, and then let her go. After changing back into his clothes, he skillfully tied an apron around his waist.
It was snowing outside at this time, and the snowflakes drifted smoothly into their apartment through the open windows through the cold wind.When Camelia went to close the window, she accidentally got some snowflakes on her hair. She didn't notice this, and after closing the window, she followed Cedric into the kitchen with a smile, saying that she would help him, but the next second immediately She was caught by Cedric to wipe her hair, during which Camelia could not avoid listening to Cedric's nagging.
It snowed all night, but the fire in the house was burning brightly, which made people feel warm.
The author has something to say:
Belated Christmas wishes to all of you!
I said before that I would not update this article again, but I am going to break my promise again. The reason why I suddenly resumed updating is because I read some comments during the period after the end and edited a few chapters intermittently. After fragments and typos, I suddenly had an idea to take the time to write the story of the previous life completely, because I found that many readers seemed unable to understand why they were bullied and isolated, and a small number of them firmly believed that such a plot could not happen Severe bullying and isolation.But I believe everyone must have heard the saying that no snowflake is innocent during an avalanche. What I want to say is that in fact, many times we are not aware that we are also a snowflake involved in it, and often something happens, We often guess others rashly based on our own experience and standards, thinking that other people are fine, but he is the only one who has problems, and he must be abnormal or something.I think this is the most helpless part of campus bullying. Most of the bystanders pretend to have nothing to do with themselves, making up the theory that the victim is guilty, including some of the current society's views on patients with depression. These are what I came up with The character of the heroine.
Well, I won’t talk about the rest of the nonsense, because what I want to write is Camelia’s personal prequel, so I will open a separate book when I think about it, and I won’t put it under this book. I didn't think of a suitable name, and considering the overall tone of the prequel is very sad, so I will add a few sweeter episodes under this book after I finish my work. In fact, I don't know if there will be a prequel. Someone is interested, but think again and write.Thank you for your continued support!

But the next morning, to little Camelia's disappointment, Santa Claus did not perform his miracles as usual, because her bedroom was still full of signs of magic.
The house-elf who helped Camelia wake up, when she was braiding her hair, reminded her little master to behave better than usual today, because the mistress had lost her temper with the master early in the morning, and But it's still Christmas, a festival that everyone can't hate and refuse.
Camelia listened casually to the chatter of the old elf who had served her grandma. Her hands hidden under the dressing table had already tightly grasped the fur balls used for decoration on the Christmas sweater, and put a new dress on Wrinkled, with a sad face on her face, she was thinking about what would make her mother throw a tantrum on Christmas morning, and Camelia began to tremble involuntarily when she thought of her mother's angry appearance .
But Santa didn't completely disappoint.
After Camelia washed up, she put on an expression of eagerness and excitement that ordinary children should show at Christmas and rushed downstairs to check her Christmas presents. By this time, the Christmas stockings hanging on the fireplace had long since become Heavy, Santa Claus not only packed a pair of beautiful silver and white skates inside, but also a reply letter.
In the letter, Santa Claus patiently explained to Camila the reasons why he could not fulfill her wish, listed many benefits of being a wizard in one breath, and promised her that many little muggles are envious of little wizards She can learn magic, but learning magic is exactly why Camelia doesn't want to continue to be a little wizard.
When Camelia finished reading the letter, Dad Erwin Shafik just appeared by the Christmas tree. Although his face was full of smiles, there was still a look of tiredness in his eyes that could not be concealed.
After hearing her father's shout, Camelia crumpled up the letter and stationery and stuffed them back into the Christmas stocking in a panic, then excitedly ran to Mr. Shafik with the presents from Santa Claus.
"Wow, it looks like Santa Claus has given you a great present!" Mr. Shafiq said.
Camelia nodded, put the gift under the Christmas tree and piled it up with other gifts, then stood on tiptoe and extended his arms to Mr. Shafik, who immediately knew what his daughter meant.He crouched down and hugged Camelia in his strong, powerful arms.
"My dear father, I wish you a Merry Christmas!" Camelia kissed Mr. Shafik on the cheek after she finished speaking.
"My baby, Merry Christmas!"
Mr. Shafiq kissed Camelia on the cheek several times, but his beard made Camelia giggle and giggle.
Because Mrs. Shafik kept urging the father and daughter to have breakfast, Mr. Shafik discussed with Camelia whether he could wait until the morning to unwrap the presents under the Christmas tree, seeing Camelia nodded obediently , he happily kissed the birthmark on the corner of her eye, but he did not put Camelia down, but carried her all the way to the dining room.
Mrs. Shafik, who had already been sitting at the dining table waiting for them, saw that Camelia was hanging on Mr. Shafik in the posture of a koala hanging from a tree. If she can kill a fly, she will reprimand her husband with the opening of her mouth.
"Erwin, how many times have I said that although it's a pity that we didn't give Cammy a healthy and strong heart like the other children, at least we didn't leave her without arms and legs. What? Our daughter is one of those The Little Mermaid in some stupid Muggle story? Every step I take is like stepping on the tip of a knife? You carry her everywhere you go? You'll spoil her, we can't let her go for nothing Such a pair of straight legs."
"But Jamie, I like it best when I carry her around like this. Don't you?" Mr. Shafiq said to his daughter, who was holding her tightly around his neck. "Your mother was joking with you. Our The Little Mermaid must have wanted to be Mom and Dad's child, so she swam ashore."
Mrs. Shafik stared at Camelia and said with a serious expression: "Come down, remember to walk by yourself in the future, don't allow anyone to hug you."
In this family, there is no such thing as someone who has the absolute right to speak.

Camelia was so frightened by the sudden question that the spoon in her hand fell into the bowl, and the sweet porridge splashed onto her Christmas sweater. She looked at Mrs. Shafik in confusion. She thought it was just her and Christmas. The little secret between the old people will not be known by others, but it is obvious that Santa Claus has failed her trust and went to her mother to make a small report.

It's a pity that before Mr. Shafik spoke, Mrs. Shafik's emotions had completely collapsed.
"Why are you so unmotivated! Jamie, Mommy doesn't ask much of you, and she has never disliked you to embarrass me. Why do you have such a terrible wish? Or is it because you don't want to be a wizard, but It's because you hate your mother and think that your mother is the worst woman in the world, so you don't want to be a mother's child anymore, do you think so?"
Mr. Shafik put his trembling daughter into his arms to comfort him immediately, and tried his best to comfort his hysterical wife, "Blanche, don't scare Jamie like this, she doesn't understand anything at such a young age." .”
"Aren't you upset, Erwin? Our daughter, our baby, she doesn't want us anymore, she's disappointed in having parents like us!"
Mr. Shafiq said with difficulty: "Have you ever thought that maybe we pushed her too hard. Honey, maybe I mean maybe, it's time for us to face some reality..."
Mrs. Shafik's eyes were red and she yelled at her husband like a madman, "No! She's not a Squib! There's nothing wrong with my baby! On my family's behalf, we from Du Bois Never had a Squib, and never had an affair with a Muggle."
She even fell off the chair due to too much force, and even so she kept repeating "my daughter is not a Squib", "she is a wizard, she can't be a Muggle", "I and I My family members are serious wizards"...
Since Camelia turned three years old, she still hasn't shown any signs of magical awakening. This has become another private family matter that is difficult to disclose to the outside world after her family learned that she has a congenital heart disease. Because looking at the entire magical world, there are not many little wizards who are as slow as Camille in awakening magic power, not to mention that their family is mixed in the circle of pure-blood wizards who pay special attention to this aspect.In the eyes of wizards, a little wizard who can't learn magic is almost equivalent to an imbecile of a Muggle, so after everyone joked behind their backs that the bride married by the always reserved and aloof Shafik family was a foreign witch, another one was ushered in. carnival.
What Camelia and her family didn't realize at the time was that whether she was a Squib or not, her dull wizarding talent would be a stain on her for a long time because she was a pureblood.
It was the worst Christmas ever, and the grandparents who arrived later had a long argument with her parents. Camelia also cried from morning to night. During this period, she almost had a heart attack due to excessive sadness. For a little while she naively wished she could just die.
It was also on that day that Camelia Shafik learned that Santa Claus does not exist in this world.
As early as when she was reading the letter, she recognized the familiar tone in the letter, even though her father purposely used a font that he didn't often use, but the wet ink and the proper timing had already revealed He also underestimated his daughter's precocious mind.
Why don't you want to be a wizard?
There were too many reasons for the young Camelia. She didn't want her family to be ashamed because of her, she didn't want to be laughed at and bullied by other young wizards of the same age at those parties, and she didn't want her family to quarrel over it. The last thing she wanted was to see her proud mother disappoint her again and again.
She didn't allow her to have an unrivaled talent for magic right away, because even she accepted the fact that she didn't seem to be born with any talent for learning magic, even though all her family members were wizards with blood that couldn't be more pure.She was afraid that it would be too greedy to make such a wish, and she would give such a precious thing as talent.
Camelia thought that if she was judged by the standards of a Muggle, she might be the outstanding child that many Muggle mothers yearn for, because she learns everything very quickly except magic, and she knows that she is smart , and knew that she was beautiful, but as a little wizard, she didn't know any magic, so all those advantages would be useless.
Ever since Camelia could remember, she seldom saw her mother smile, but when she flipped through the photo album, she found that the young Miss Dubois was always smiling, and the corners of her mouth rarely turned down. Her smile has a kind of magical contagion, which can make people feel better when they see it. Perhaps it is because of this that she easily captured the heart of Mr. Shafiq when she was young.
When Miss Dubois became Mrs. Shafik, her charming smile did not disappear, but added a trace of enviable happiness in it, but until she became a mother, she seemed to have lost her smile. All joy.
Because of this, Camelia has had a wish since she was a child to make her mother proud of her, even once.
More than ten years after that bad Christmas, when Camelia and a few friends got together to chat, they happened to talk about how they found out that the adults had made up lies about Santa Claus. Just over a week to go.
After Camelia finished sharing her sad Christmas story, the rest of the group fell silent for a long time.
Penello took the lead and said: "It sounds like you had a hard time when you were a child."
Camelia smiled bitterly, "It's all over, now it's better, at least they won't quarrel over this matter again."
Iris took Camelia's hand and said, "But now that you have us, we will never let you be so sad again."
The rest of the people also hurriedly echoed, Camelia froze for a moment and then smiled: "Thank you very much."
Audrey said, "Don't thank us, because you are good to everyone around you, and you deserve it."
I don't know if Camelia's story reminded April of some unpleasant memories, and she asked with a slightly serious expression: "Is Aunt Shafik proud of you now?"
"I don't know. My mother has always been very demanding. I have never heard her praise anyone since I can remember."
"Sure! You're so nice! I can't think of anything she could be dissatisfied with having a daughter like you. Does she not like your hair looking so golden? Or do you think your laugh is too sweet? Forgive me I, darling, can't really fault you for being displeasing to me."
Audrey praised Camelia from the bottom of her heart, and her words were so numb that even Camelia herself blushed when she heard it.
"Oh, Audrey, I'm ashamed to hear that."
"Don't be so modest, I'm telling the truth." Audrey spread her hands and said with a regretful expression, "It's such a pity, why can't I be a boy? If so, I will definitely try my best marry you."
After hearing this, Iris laughed fiercely, "It's a good thing Seid isn't here, otherwise with his temperament, he would definitely be jealous if he found out."
Penello also joined the ranks of joking, "I bet George is definitely not happy either, the object I need to be wary of is a beautiful girl."
Camelia said dumbfoundingly: "Oh, why are you coming to make trouble for me just after complimenting you?"
After the party was over, Audryse gave Camille a tightly wrapped paper bag, because she didn't attend their housewarming party last time, she felt somewhat sorry, and thought about what to give Camille Leah and Cedric's cohabitation life adds to the fun.
"It's just moving together. It won't be too late to send it off after you get married."
"A little thought, I'm sorry if I don't give you anything, besides, cohabitation is a big deal." Then Audrey said mysteriously, "It's not going to be Christmas soon, so I specially picked something with a strong festive atmosphere. I think you'll look great in it, but I don't know if Cedric will like it... so have a merry Christmas, both of you!"
Camelia finally accepted this gift, but she had roughly guessed what kind of gift it was from Audrey's malicious smile. The reason is that if she doesn't accept this gift, I'm afraid Audrey will give an even more extraordinary gift.
Camelia and Cedric have been dating for several years, but they have only recently begun to try to live together. At this moment, the two of them have only graduated from Hogwarts for a few years. One has just finished training and became an official Auror. One was still studying her doctorate at a Muggle university, so the two didn't have much income, but even so they insisted on supporting themselves and didn't want to rely on family support.
In fact, living together was discussed early, but Mr. Shafik strongly objected to the two people living together so early, even though Camelia and Cedric got engaged in their last school year. , but the conservative Mr. Shafik still insisted that the two should consider living together after they got married.
For this reason, Camelia spent a lot of time persuading her stubborn father in the past two years, and it was not until recently that she was able to succeed. The reason for Mr. Shafik's compromise was that Camelia promised him that at night She and Cedric would both stay in their rooms and sleep.
Because Mr. Shafik really believed in his daughter too much, and he couldn't bear to refuse any request made by his little girl to him, he finally agreed in desperation, but he immediately called Cedric to educate.
Because of this upbringing, Cedric, a silly boy, did strictly abide by the agreement with Mr. Shafik at the beginning of his cohabitation life, urging Camelia to return to his room as soon as the hour came every night. Sleeping, and determined not to touch her, made Camelia mistakenly think that he was sick and worried for a while.
Until one night, Camelia refused to leave, hugged Cedric and acted like a baby, saying that she was afraid to sleep alone.After this sleep, the bed in the other room became a decoration. The reason why Mr. Shafiq was looking at it was to make him feel at ease, but in fact he didn't feel at ease for too long.
The last time Camelia invited her parents to their small apartment, she revealed that she had not kept her promise with her father.
The reason was that Mr. Shafiq was afraid that his daughter would be short of money and would be embarrassed to tell him, so he wanted to secretly stuff some money in her bedroom before leaving, but accidentally found an unpacked box of condoms in her bedside cabinet.
Then he took the thing and called Cedric over angrily. He was sure that the bad boy Cedric had instigated his little moon to do bad things.
After seeing the things in Mr. Shafik's hand and his frantic face, Cedric looked extremely embarrassed. In addition, he was too honest. Basically, whatever Mr. Shafik asked, he would answer truthfully. It's all explained clearly.
Over there, Mr. Shafik was probably angry. Facing such an honest Cedric, he didn't know whether he should be glad that his son-in-law didn't treat him as a fool, and tried to continue to conceal that he had no agreement with him.
Camelia was more frank than Cedric, "Dad, I'm an adult now, isn't it normal to do this kind of thing with my fiancé? I don't believe you and your mother..."
"I didn't do that to your mother until I was legally married to her. But you're only engaged now, and you can't do—do that kind of thing so early."
Mr Shafiq still looked unacceptable.
"But getting engaged means getting married soon." Camelia snapped back, "Dad, I said I'm an adult, and I've come here to ask you how old your children are. And Seid knew what we were doing, and we were responsible for our actions. By the way, I actually knew how the baby got here before you told me the story of Song Zihe."
Mr. Shafiq said panicked, "Oh, you mean you knew that kind of thing when you were five years old? My God! Who told you, I'm going to rip that guy's mouth out."
"Don't get excited, I read about this in a book, and you know I always liked to read books by myself when I was a kid. Hey, there's no need to make such a fuss about men and women, but it's just—well, I'm actually very I slept with Seid early on and I know it's going to drive you nuts but we're engaged now and I don't quite understand why you'd be so worried that I'm sharing a room with my fiancé. After all I'm dying married this boy."
At this time, Mrs. Shafik complained about her husband, "I told you that our daughter is already an adult, and you shouldn't care about these things so much. I told you a long time ago, don't always Hold her, she will walk by herself in the future."
After hearing what his wife said, Mr. Shafik took a long time to calm down, and after a while he breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, Blanche, you talk a lot, our little moon has grown up, I have my own ideas, and I may really care too much."
"As long as you know," Mrs Shafiq said.
At this moment, Cedric, who hadn't spoken for a long time, stepped forward and hugged Camille's shoulders, looked at Mr. Shafik firmly and said, "Sir, please believe that I will definitely make Camille happy."
"I said this when you came to ask me to agree if you could propose marriage to Jiami. I still said the same thing back then. I don't believe in any promises. I want you to prove it to me. How can you give it to us? Jiajiami brings happiness." Mr. Shafiq glanced at Cedric angrily, "Why do you start calling me Mr. again?"
Camelia was also anxious for Cedric when she heard it, and couldn't help but say to him, "Idiot, I told you a long time ago, it's time to call him Dad."
"Yes, Dad, please rest assured that I will be good to Cammy." Cedric smiled hurriedly.
It was after this confession with Camelia's parents that Cedric and Camelia started their cohabitation life without shame and shame in a real sense. Like most young couples, they like it when they are free. Tired in the apartment together.
After saying goodbye to Audrey, Camelia didn't stay outside for too long, and immediately went back to her and Cedric's apartment, but when she got home, Camelia found that Cedric hadn't come back yet.
Maybe he was pulled to work overtime again, Camelia thought.So as she took off her coat, she thought about what supper she was going to make, and she and Cedric agreed that whoever arrived first would cook it.
Before preparing to cook, Camelia planned to see what gift Audrey gave her. As she expected, it was indeed not a serious gift, because Audrey gave her a very revealing pajamas, but said it was It's pajamas that are too far-fetched, why not just admit that it is a sexy underwear, or a cos Christmas elk style.
A few pieces of poor black fabric are sewn with a circle of brown fluff. There should be a round tail on the part of the buttocks. There are also a pair of elk horn hair clips in the bag, one with a pearl inlaid Long black strap collar and a pair of black fishnet socks.
Such cool "pajamas" Camelia has never owned before, and she has never had the idea of buying one, and she is not sure if Cedric will like it, but when she thinks that if she wears it Standing in front of Cedric like this is really a bit embarrassing, but it's not impossible to play this kind of fun once in a while.
Then Camelia thought about it seriously, and she didn't seem to have any need to please Cedric recently, so she scolded Audrey in her heart for being unreasonable, and then stuffed the lump back into the paper bag, and then she hid the paper bag into the closet.
While hiding things, Camelia was thinking about waiting for Cedric to behave well, and it would not be too late to prepare this surprise for him.
A few days later, it was almost Christmas, and Camelia managed to finish all the school affairs, and she could officially start her Christmas vacation, so she went home happily, opened the door and saw Cedric is standing in Santa Claus clothes next to a fully decorated Christmas tree in the living room.
"It looks like my Christmas present this year will be to have a handsome Santa Claus." Camelia leaned on the door frame and smiled at Cedric who was in a hurry.
Seeing that he had been discovered, Cedric didn't continue to tinker with the white fake beard hanging on his chin, "I thought you didn't come home so early today, so I wanted to try it on in advance. Well, as you can see, I am preparing a Christmas surprise for you. I really want my girls to have a memorable Christmas. Of course, I mean the kind of good surprises, not the kind you had when you were a child. I know that since then Afterwards, you don’t enjoy Christmas so much.”
"Oh, don't say that, I still love Christmas. Because it's a day when all the family and friends get together, and I don't think there's anything better than that." Camelia walked towards Cedric, "Special After being with you, I have enjoyed every Christmas, you don’t need to care about this. But I think you must be the most handsome and capable Santa Claus in the world except my father.”
Cedric lowered his head and chuckled, then put his arms around Camelia's waist, leaned his head on her shoulder and said softly: "What should I do? Jamie, I found that I seem to be jealous of your father .”
"Then you are really hopeless." Camelia scolded him with a smile.
"Yeah, it's really hopeless, but who told you to be so nice!"
Cedric kissed Camelia on the cheek as he spoke, and then his movements became rougher as the kiss deepened.
When Camelia noticed this, she held down Cedric's hand that was slipping from his waist.
"I've been busy all day, and I'm really hungry now, so can we talk about it later in the evening?" Camelia whispered in Cedric's ear, "I also have a surprise for you."
"Okay, let's eat first. What do you want to eat? I'll make it today."
"I'm not picky eaters, I like to eat whatever you do."
"So nice."
Cedric pinched Camelia's face, and then let her go. After changing back into his clothes, he skillfully tied an apron around his waist.
It was snowing outside at this time, and the snowflakes drifted smoothly into their apartment through the open windows through the cold wind.When Camelia went to close the window, she accidentally got some snowflakes on her hair. She didn't notice this, and after closing the window, she followed Cedric into the kitchen with a smile, saying that she would help him, but the next second immediately She was caught by Cedric to wipe her hair, during which Camelia could not avoid listening to Cedric's nagging.
It snowed all night, but the fire in the house was burning brightly, which made people feel warm.
The author has something to say:
Belated Christmas wishes to all of you!
I said before that I would not update this article again, but I am going to break my promise again. The reason why I suddenly resumed updating is because I read some comments during the period after the end and edited a few chapters intermittently. After fragments and typos, I suddenly had an idea to take the time to write the story of the previous life completely, because I found that many readers seemed unable to understand why they were bullied and isolated, and a small number of them firmly believed that such a plot could not happen Severe bullying and isolation.But I believe everyone must have heard the saying that no snowflake is innocent during an avalanche. What I want to say is that in fact, many times we are not aware that we are also a snowflake involved in it, and often something happens, We often guess others rashly based on our own experience and standards, thinking that other people are fine, but he is the only one who has problems, and he must be abnormal or something.I think this is the most helpless part of campus bullying. Most of the bystanders pretend to have nothing to do with themselves, making up the theory that the victim is guilty, including some of the current society's views on patients with depression. These are what I came up with The character of the heroine.
Well, I won’t talk about the rest of the nonsense, because what I want to write is Camelia’s personal prequel, so I will open a separate book when I think about it, and I won’t put it under this book. I didn't think of a suitable name, and considering the overall tone of the prequel is very sad, so I will add a few sweeter episodes under this book after I finish my work. In fact, I don't know if there will be a prequel. Someone is interested, but think again and write.Thank you for your continued support!
