[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

From Irantu Girls' School to Evans' house in the small town of Cokeworth, it takes only ten minutes by car, and it takes longer to walk - nearly an hour.There is a bus from school to the street near her home, and the stop sign is right next to the school gate, but when she walked out of the school, Petunia ignored the bus stop, blocked Eli's sight by ghosts, and tried to keep calm and said: "The bus at the end of the semester There are a lot of people, and the air is too stuffy... It's not very far to walk back, why don't you just walk back? I can carry my luggage by myself."

She didn't often deliberately say such words against her will, and she couldn't help being so nervous that the tip of her nose was sweating slightly.

"It's okay, it's not heavy." Eli waved his hand without hesitation, and agreed to her suggestion without any hesitation, "Okay, let's take a walk together... You seem to be a little hot, do you want some iced drinks? I invite you."

"Wizards have magic pockets that can keep the temperature?" Petunia asked in surprise, looking up and down his body, "It's so convenient, I didn't even see it..."

"Yes, there is, but of course you can't see it, because I didn't bring it with me at all. That kind of magic item is very rare, and no one should use it to store iced drinks." Eli was stunned by her question, and then revealed With a smile on his face, he pointed to the side, "I mean the ice cream shop over there - there are many students queuing up, I think the taste should be okay?"

Petunia looked at him, then at the ice cream shop by the roadside, she was speechless: "..."

It was so embarrassing that she was always blurring the lines between wizard and normal life when confronting him!How could he always switch so freely?Petunia was blushing, and went to line up as if fleeing, and Eli followed behind with her suitcase. The sound of the wheels rolling on the road followed her, making her even more embarrassed to find a crack in the ground.

But after they got the iced drink, Eli handed over the banknote before her, and really bought her a glass of juice, Petunia's embarrassment disappeared inexplicably.She began to feel that Eli was so smart and thoughtful, and nothing could trouble him at all. This kind of trivial matter of switching identities was a chaotic trouble for her, but of course it was no problem for him. After acknowledging his excellence, it was like She found a perfect excuse for herself, and her mentality was adjusted immediately, and she became much calmer.

Each of them held a glass of juice and moved forward like a walk.The school and Evans' house are just at the two ends of the town, and the distance in a straight line is not too far, but walking through roads and alleys will undoubtedly slow down the speed.Fortunately, they were not in a hurry at all. The ice cubes collided with each other briskly in the juice, and the wheels of the suitcase rolled on the ground, all of which made people feel relaxed and stress-free.

"It's nothing." Faced with her question, Eli shrugged, "I've been growing up in the Muggle world, so I'm as familiar with pound sterling as you are—of course I'm also familiar with gold Galleons. Just like children born into multilingual families, there will always be some innate family advantages. For me, magic has always been an ability to make life more convenient, not…”

He thought about it seriously before continuing: "Instead of a pass to heaven out of real life, I don't know if I made myself clear."

Petunia nodded—she nodded a little too much today, but she couldn't help it when listening to Eli.

"Even if you don't have magic, you must be a very good person." She said sincerely, her eyes flickering brightly.

Eli shrugged and smiled.

"I'm not sure. After all, if there is no magic, I would not have the opportunity to do such a big thing as modifying a magic phone. Maybe the magic world does have a place that is more suitable for me... But if there is no magic, I will probably go to the Duke of Eton. My class teacher strongly recommended me to go there, she thought I was totally qualified. But my mother firmly rejected her, saying that I was going to another boarding school, which baffled her and talked to my mother Several times... I suspect my mother ended up using the Confusion Charm to solve the problem."

"It's amazing." Penny said from the bottom of her heart, she couldn't help hiding her schoolbag behind her back, "My grades are just average... I can't go to the best school, and I want to apply for Durham University in the future It's a difficult school too...your father is a professor at that university, isn't he?"

"Yeah." Eli said naturally, "Teach history, he's very interesting, the students like to take his class."

"Then he must prefer students with bright minds?" Petunia asked casually, she didn't know how she asked, she was obviously asking someone else a question, but she was extremely nervous, as if she had done something wrong Same thing to do.

"I really don't know, I haven't asked this before." Eli thought for a moment, shook his head, and suggested to her sincerely, "You can ask him next time you see him, I think he will be willing to answer. "

Petunia pursed her lips, lowered her head and looked up at him again.

"One day I will," she said, feeling vaguely what was on her mind. "Wait until I get ready..."

"It's just a question. Does it take a long time to prepare?" Eli asked in surprise.Petunia didn't answer him, and the question wasn't that important, and was soon left behind by Eli, and the two continued to walk through the streets of the town, as if they could go forever like this.

No matter how far the road is, it will come to an end, and the Evans family will finally appear in front of them.The weather in midsummer is hot, and there are no people outside. Penny is usually very afraid of the sun, worrying about getting sunburned accidentally, which will make her unattractive self even more inconspicuous, but today she complained about the time spent in the sun for the first time too short.

Eli handed the suitcase back to her and said goodbye to her: "Then I'll go back first—my parents are waiting for me to go back."

OKPetunia nodded and watched as he took out his wand and waved, a bus came rushing from a distance, hitting houses, street lights and fields all the way, and they were all trying to avoid it.

There is such a driving technology in the world!So far no accidents must be all because of magical magic!Petunia opened her eyes wide in surprise, watching him wave his hand at her, turn around and step into the car, the door closed, and sped away into the distance, quickly grinding into the dazzling sunlight at the end of the horizon.

It was hard to believe that such a powerful wizard should be friends with her.Petunia took a deep breath, opened the door with her luggage, and went up the steps. Before entering the house, she still couldn't help but glance back.

She watched their journey together—no matter how incredible it was, it was a faithful record of what had just happened, and it became a kind of proof that they could walk together.

Eli’s summer vacation was very fulfilling. To be honest, it was a bit too fulfilling—he had just returned home for a few days, and before he could completely sink himself into the leisurely rhythm of summer vacation, Mrs. Smith forcibly took him out of the house to come Take a long trip to Germany.

Facing the questions from her son and her husband, Mrs. Smith gave a very good reason: "Look at you two, if I don't take you out, you will spend the whole summer vacation in the study, continuing to study your personality. Muggle item magic modification topic - let's take a break, our family doesn't need everyone to be a star in the newspaper all the time, that would be too troublesome, wouldn't it? I think I'm the only one on the book signing Reporting is enough."

"She made it sound like I was showing off on purpose to show off." Eli complained to Petunia, "Didn't I do a profoundly good thing last semester? I always feel that she doesn't care about it." Glad... well, last year she asked me to promise not to express myself in school, and I admit I didn't do it, but sometimes the situation makes it necessary, and I don't want to express myself."

"Of course I believe you," Petunia said immediately.She turned her eyes and looked at Mrs. Smith who was chatting and laughing with Mrs. Evans from a distance. She stared enviously at her beautiful appearance and calm expression for a few seconds, and said cautiously, "But I think your mother has a certain reason for saying that. The truth...although it is correct, it is dangerous, isn't it?"

"Well, maybe a little." Eli shrugged, "Fortunately, some progress has been made in this matter, and the next step is to let the wizards experience the benefits and convenience brought by the magic phone. I can't help you in this regard. What is busy, there is a high probability that I will not have anything to do in the future, so I should be able to study hard in school with peace of mind."

"I'm not sure if Lily's going to get nervous about it." Petunia laughed. "She's been talking all summer about how your headmaster gave Gryffindor thirty points because of you at the end of term. She never once After adding so many points, although I surpassed you in the school year exam, I always want to compete with you again this year."

"If I don't spend time reading letters, I think my grades can be better." Eli raised his eyebrows and responded confidently. He and Penny waved, "Then I will go to the office first." We're in the car—if nothing happens, see you at Christmas?"

"See you at Christmas, remember to write to me more." Petunia told him, paused, then looked around cautiously, and whispered nervously, "I've put away that feather properly, even in the Wizarding world, isn't it very precious? I've been carrying it with me since the beginning of the holidays, and when Snape saw it, you can't imagine the surprise on his face - he looked at me in disbelief, As if I'd robbed a wealthy wizard who was incapacitated, looking terribly ugly."

"Every prejudice has a specific reason, and when it happens, it's really not easy to change... It can't be helped, but I think his attitude is better than before, isn't it? Lily must have something for him had some positive impact.”

"I'm not sure how much this kind of positive influence can have." Penny curled her lips, and glanced at the scarlet steam train next to her, "Just 10 minutes ago, the two of them had an argument here again, Lily was angry—Snape's friends were not only watching, they were laughing at her and urging Snape not to talk to her again."

What, are you arguing again?Eli was a little surprised, and deeply realized how difficult it is for the friendship between these two people to maintain.

"Well, maybe I can guess why," he said thoughtfully, "I also don't think Severus's friends are very likable except for Lily...they're all Slytherins Yes, the discrimination against students from non-wizard families is simply engraved in the bones."

With this new piece of information, Eli decides to find his two friends as soon as he gets in the car.When they have a good relationship, they often have small disputes because of some conceptual differences, but when they have a bad relationship, even such disputes disappear, and the atmosphere is quiet and awkward. They all acted as if they needed him very much.

Eli passed by boxes one by one, looking for the figures of the two.He met many other classmates along the way. The foursome in the dormitory next door had gathered in a box and were listening to James beaming as he told about his wonderful holiday life. He has always been the one who likes to share and is the center of the crowd. .

"The magic phone is amazing!" he said enthusiastically. "I dialed a random number on it, and you'll never guess who answered the call—it was Madam Malkin's Robe Shop in Diagon Alley! I ordered a couple of new gowns over the phone and the owl flew home two days later with the package and the bill and my mom was totally amazed - I ordered her a gown in a color she'd never worn, I guess she must be impressed Bad! Shame I didn't see her in that gown until school started—”

"Great, James." Amidst Peter's compliments, Sirius Black said with great interest, "But have you ever thought that your mother never bought a robe of that color because she was very different?" Like this color?"

James was taken aback, judging from his expression, he hadn't thought about it at all.

Both Sirius and Lupine laughed, Peter wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh at James, and made a few strange noises.

"I'm going to write a letter to ask my family—" James immediately took out the quill, and began to write quickly.

Eli, who happened to pass by, retracted his gaze and continued to walk forward, thinking in a good mood, maybe he could write a letter to Arthur to make suggestions, restrict shopping for underage wizards who make calls, and add a trace detection function. It can be achieved, it is not difficult in theory...

He passed another box and was taken aback when he looked inside.

For a moment, he thought Sirius Black was sitting quietly inside alone.

The people in the box quickly spotted him outside, and the two looked at each other. The person inside looked at him for a few seconds and said, "Eli Smith?"

"I am." Eli looked at him and said with some hesitation, "I don't think I've seen you before, are you a freshman? Do you know me? You and Sirius Black..."

"That's my brother." The person in the box said calmly, "I'm Regulus Black, hello, I've heard more than one person mention you this holiday."

Regulus and his brother looked very similar, with the same black hair and dark gray eyes, it was obvious that the two were related by blood.However, he is shorter and thinner than Sirius, not as handsome as his brother, and the temperament of the two is also different. Under the same elegant detachment from Black, Sirius is more rebellious, and Regulus is more calm , they can be easily identified when they stand together. Judging from his expression and demeanor, maybe Regulus is more like his brother.

"Remember me?" Eli pointed to himself, feeling deeply puzzled, "Why? Although I have gained some popularity because of the magic phone, as far as I know, Black happens to be a family that clearly expresses its disgust and opposition. Wouldn't be of any interest to me."

Regulus gave him a slightly surprised look.

"It seems that you don't know." He said, "It's not my family who are talking about it, it's your maternal grandfather's family - and the Black family has always been in close contact. Although the blood relationship is not very close, I heard that both parties have plans Renew some blood ties in this generation. I haven't met Aunt Linda, but I've heard of her... She married a Muggle, your father, and the whole family was shocked."

Eli stared at him in astonishment. He has been a person with excellent learning and understanding ability since he was a child. It is very rare for him to find that what another person said is unbelievable and difficult for him to understand. It is as if someone suddenly pulled an elephant over and said that they have same common ancestor.

"I really don't know... well, which one is it?" Eli made some mental preparations, frowning slightly.

"Lestrange," Regulus said.

Even he had heard about the Death Eater family, the whole family fanatically supported the concept of the supremacy of pure blood, they were already Voldemort's open followers, and they often used bloody means to eliminate dissidents.

Eli's heart sank suddenly, he stood there, stared at Regulus for a long time, and then asked softly, "What are they talking about about me?"

Regulus looked at him, and Eli wasn't quite sure if he saw a hint of longing in his eyes.

"The adult saw you." He repeated softly, "He said, you are a very thoughtful little wizard."

A chill rose from under Eli's feet and surrounded him.Eli shuddered uncontrollably. Even though Voldemort's name didn't appear directly in the conversation, he clearly felt that he was being targeted by a poisonous snake. This made him understand his mother's rush to take the whole family on a trip almost instantly. The reason is that the original relaxed and innocent thoughts disappeared, and the surging haze brought a breathless depression.

"The Lestrange family is ashamed of you, but also wants to bring greater glory to the family through you." Regulus said calmly, "Even if you don't know from me... I think, It's not far from them contacting you."
