The students returned to school one after another, and Artemia sat in the Slytherin lounge in her robes, watching "Curse at the Point" while waiting for Draco and Millicent.

When the spell book was halfway through, the stone door was opened, and the Slytherin students walked in one after another from the outside, Millicent and Goyle also walked in together.

They saw Artemia on the sofa and stopped at the same time.

"Are you back?" Artemia and Shangshu stood up with a smile and looked behind them, but they didn't see the familiar blond boy, "Where's Draco?"

Millicent and Goyle looked at each other, and then looked away at the same time.

Before they could answer Artemia's question, another person answered it for them.

"Draco? Probably with Astoria."

Artemia followed the voice and saw that it was Pansy, she frowned.

When Pansy saw her expression, the pride on her face became more obvious. She stepped forward and said, "The youngest daughter of the Greengrass family, you may not know that she is Draco's girlfriend at the Christmas ball, yes Madam Malfoy invited."

Artemia looked at Pansy, then at Millicon, and Millicent's expression told her that this was indeed true.

She looked past Pan Xi to see Shimen's position, and said in a flat tone, "So?"

"They are likely to get engaged, and you..." Pan Xi looked contemptuous, "you only deserve to go back to that dilapidated shop!"

"I didn't even know Miss Parkinson could decide on Malfoy's affairs."

Draco heard Pansy's words as soon as he walked in, and he was so angry that he almost pulled out his wand!

Pansy turned around and called his name, "Draco."

The boy immediately frowned in disgust, "Who allowed you to call me by my name, Miss Parkinson, do we know each other well?"

The laughter around her made Pansy blush, and she faltered and couldn't speak.

Artemia glanced behind Draco, with a stern aura exuding all over her body, she looked at Astoria.

Draco noticed Artemia's gaze, felt a little guilty unconsciously, and clasped the gift box in his pocket with his fingers.

Even though it was just a look, Astoria was a little nervous. Her fingers were mixed together, and she lowered her head nervously to avoid the gaze from above.

Artemia started clearing the books on the table, gave Draco a deep look as she passed by, and walked out of the Slytherin common room.

After she left, Draco hurriedly followed, not caring about the classmate his mother told him to take good care of.

There was a brief silence in the Slytherin lounge after they left.

Astoria breathed a sigh of relief, she was so overwhelmed by the other party's gaze just now.

After a moment of silence, someone started whispering.

-

Artemia didn't walk very fast, Draco caught up with her after taking a few strides, his hands in his cloth pockets, and he followed the girl calmly.

Draco explained in a low voice as he walked, "I didn't know that beforehand, that's what my mother meant."

As he walked, he cursed Pansy in his heart, and even started to complain about Narcissa a little bit.

Artemia frowned: "Then you still accept her as your female companion."

After she finished speaking, she stopped.

They were standing by the window, and it was rare for Artemia not to cast a warming spell on herself, perhaps the biting coldness could suppress some of her bad thoughts.

After a long time, Artemia found her voice and looked up at him: "Your mother wants you to marry her? Like what Parkinson said?"

Draco was silent, he looked into the girl's dark eyes, his Adam's apple rolled down, he couldn't tell a lie, obviously he could just tell a lie casually, but he couldn't tell it at this moment.

Draco shook his head for a long time, "I don't know."

The empty corridor became extremely quiet, and the sound of the heartbeat in the chest rang like a bell.

"But I don't want to marry her." Draco raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, and he completely lost his usual pride at the moment, "I only like you."

Artemia froze for a moment, opened her mouth, and unexpectedly felt a little parched.

The bustling crowd passed by this corridor, they took a strange look at the two people standing by the window, then continued talking and laughing and left.

Quiet once again bequeathed this corridor.

But the moment just now gave Artemia a moment to think, and she pierced him calmly: "But if your parents want you to marry Greengrass, even if it is not Greengrass, it will be other pure blood, and you will Are you married?"

"If it's for Malfoy's glory..." Draco said with difficulty, "I will."

Artemia lowered her head, narrowed her eyes, "...I see."

-

It's night, everything is silent.

Zabini had gone out with some girl who caught his fancy, and Draco was alone in the dorm.

He was lying on the bed, his robes scattered on the green sheets, his gray-blue eyes staring at the ceiling.

Suddenly he sat up from the bed, took out the gift box in his pocket, and casually unwrapped the ribbon. Inside was a double-sided mirror, which was a birthday present that could not be given away, and the other half of it was in Draco's another pocket.

The boy tugged at his well-maintained hair irritably, and managed to tear off a few strands of golden hair.

Draco looked at the hair in the palm of his hand, even more irritable.

That's when Zabini returned, looking in stark contrast to his roommate, looking utterly smug.

Zabini glanced at Draco who was expressionless, and narrowed his peachy eyes: "I heard you broke up with Box?"

"No!" Draco's reaction was great.

Zabini looked at him in surprise, "Standing on two boats?"

"I didn't! You thought I was like you!" Draco glared at Zabini fiercely.

Zabini was not afraid of him, he raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, and denied it flatly, "Although I have many girlfriends, I have never done such a shameless thing as stepping on two boats."

"Me neither!" Draco felt that he was going to die unjustly, he obviously didn't know Greengrass at all, just because of his mother!Now his girlfriend ignores him, and even his roommates misunderstand him.

"Oh," Zabini said disappointedly, "I thought you guys broke up, and I could finally have a chance. You must know that Box is definitely the most beautiful girl I've ever seen."

Draco gritted his teeth angrily, reached out and threw a pillow at him, "Don't even think about it!"

Zabini took the pillow and threw it back at him, "Then you have to hurry up, as far as I know, many people are waiting for you to break up."

Draco paused when he was about to take it, the pillow slapped him on the face unceremoniously, Draco angrily grabbed the pillow that was about to fall, "Then they might as well be dreaming!"

Artemia was not so lucky compared to Draco.

Snape looked gloomy at the potion in front of him, "If your head isn't full of slugs, you should know that only two drops of Flobberworm mucus are enough, and you put at least four drops."

In fact, the fifth drop almost fell in, Artemia carefully glanced at Professor Snape who kept evaporating the venom.

"Why, is love only in Miss Box's mind?"

Now there is no more love, Artemia said in her mind.

"The five-foot Flobber caterpillar paper, hand it over to me next Monday, and you can go out."

Artemia suddenly came back to her senses, everything in her mind was thrown aside, she said in disbelief: "What?"

"Six feet." Snape waved his hand at the cauldron, and the failed potion disappeared.

"Five feet and five feet is fine." Artemia said as she moved towards the door, "Good night, Professor." After she finished speaking, she quickly opened the door and left.

That is, after an unforgettable Christmas, Artemia had another unforgettable birthday.

Artemia couldn't finish writing the thesis on the Flobber caterpillar after only one beginning. She really didn't know what else this little worm was worth wasting paper and ink for besides its love of vegetables and its medicinal value. .
