[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

Petunia wanted to let the whole world know about her sweet relationship—and she almost did. The Evans family learned the latest emotional development of their eldest daughter at dinner that day, and Lily couldn't wait to cheer and rushed to be happy Hugging her enthusiastically, Evans' parents looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

"We knew it would be him basically." Mrs. Evans commented, "I'm not saying that there can't be pure friendship between men and women, but you see him very differently. The summer when he came to our house as a guest, I almost knew what was going on."

"So, there may be magic in our two daughters' families?" Mr. Evans asked with interest, "It doesn't sound bad, magic is indeed quite convenient, and you two may live closer together in the future. Lily is a classmate."

But after the joy of this father who loves his daughter, he soon had some new worries.He frowned and said thoughtfully, "But if he wants to fool you, I'm afraid it will be easier for me than a boy who can't do magic... How do you avoid this situation, Petunia?"

Not Eli.Petunia curled her lips disapprovingly, but this time Lily called out first.

"Not Eli!" she said in amazement, feeling that her father was being completely unfounded. "You don't know how popular he is at school - but he's very clean! Keeping a safe distance from all the girls I can't find a better boy than him, I sometimes feel that all the boys my age, except him, are more or less stupid..."

She inadvertently thought of a person, and immediately curled her lips in displeasure.

"Who are you talking about, Lily?" Petunia looked at her curiously. Ever since she started dating, she seemed to have become sharp in an instant. "Snape?"

"What? Of course not." Lily was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "Why do you think of him—well, he is indeed quite stubborn and doesn't listen to persuasion at all... But what I think of is a more annoying person, It's called James Potter, one of my classmates."

oh.Petunia raised her eyebrows, and said with deep meaning: "It's okay, I think I can get to know each other tonight."

Hi, I didn't mean that!Lily waved her hands angrily and sighed.

"Those boys can't understand people," she said annoyedly, "except Eli."

Except Eli.Petunia nodded, and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.

When she asked her boyfriend about James Potter that night, her boyfriend thought about it and introduced him to her concisely.

"A man who wants to be your brother-in-law." Eli said simply, "Honestly, I thought Lily was completely impossible, but I was a little surprised that Lily could think of him." .”

"Is he bad?" Petunia asked curiously.

"No, he's my friend—I think he's pretty good in most aspects." Eli said, "but that's not the case with feelings. Sometimes when you like someone, it's not about whether he's good or bad, but about how good he is. Can you see how good this person is, it’s almost like this.”

Makes sense.Petunia nodded approvingly, rolled her eyes, and suddenly smiled slyly.

"So you see something good about me, Eli?" she asked with a smile.

"I really can't say that." Eli also laughed on the phone, and he said, "How should I put it, when I see you as a friend, I can answer this question—be strong, Bravery, full of a kind of courage to break through the south wall before giving up, persistence and action to the goal, some unique advantages that belong to you... I can see all these. But after I found out that I like you, all these changed It doesn't matter, I just saw you, every aspect, and told myself in my heart, this is part of the person I like."

He is really good at talking.Petunia silently raised her hand to cover her hot cheeks, she almost wanted to keep chatting with the phone, and didn't want to leave - but she couldn't, she had already seen her dear sister tiptoeing around the stairs, looking lively He was trying to listen to her call.

"Lily! Go back to your room—" She chased away her smiling and trying to make trouble, and said to Eli, "There are two children in a family, sometimes it is a bit annoying...but most of them are still very happy, if You have a very likable sister, and you're sure to feel the same way."

"I thought I'd already had one since this summer," Eli said with a chuckle.

oh god.Petunia hugged the pillow, buried her face in it, and sighed deeply: "I really want to see you—I just met today, but I've already started to miss you."

"Since we can only see each other for the time being during the holidays, I also think it's best not to waste this rare time." Eli said, "So... can I invite you to my house as a guest, in about a week? You can use this time Leave it to your family, and then allow me to take the rest of my time."

ah.Petunia sat up straight, unconsciously pinching the corner of her skirt a little nervously.

"Did you tell your parents about our relationship?" she asked in a low voice, "What did they say?"

Eli paused subtly on the phone.

"They reminded me that the age of majority for a Muggle girl is." His tone was rarely so dry, and he repeated his parents' words in a flat tone, "Also, they said they don't mind at all if I find a Muggle girl or a witch. If you really plan to get married, you can tell them directly that you don’t need to elope—my mother has some complaints about the recent trend of elopement in Hogwarts, and thinks it’s a bit too impulsive. A kid fresh out of Hogwarts isn't very wise."

Petunia couldn't help but smile because of his words. She felt less uneasy, but still said a little nervously: "It sounds like your mother is a person who cares about rules. I think she must have a good background."

"That's true." Eli admitted, and then added, "But she eloped with my dad herself-I think she just has a habit of being critical, and she looks a bit harsh, but Whether that’s actually the case is another story.”

Petunia smiled silently, but she asked Eli one last question before hanging up.

"I don't think it's very common for people I know to tell their families about their relationship so quickly," she said. Towards marriage—what do you think, Eli?"

"I think the same way you do," Eli said precisely. "It wasn't the discovery that I liked you that drove my decision to be with you, but the conviction that I wanted, could, and could, Holding your hand, facing a future full of infinite unknown possibilities."

After becoming the girlfriend of Mr. Eli Smith, Petunia found out that although she thought she knew the boy she had a crush on for a long time, there was more to him, and as she got closer Only after that can the clouds and mist be cleared and the whole picture can be seen.

"Of course, I'm also interested in physics and chemistry, and the development of technology without magic is also very fascinating." Eli said, "Think about it, even without magic, Britain has led two industrial revolutions - steam With machinery, electricity and science. People can fly through the sky in an airplane without a levitation spell, and conquer the bottom of the sea in a submarine without a bubble head spell. Magic makes individuals powerful, but science is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of mankind - if it is not Surprisingly, after Hogwarts I wanted to go to Cambridge and study physics, which I thought was fantastic."

"I thought you would study history." Petunia said with interest. She was leaning against Eli's bedside, reading a history book on his shelf. The handwriting on the note belonged to Eli, but Much more youthful than he is now, it is clear that he had perused his own bookshelf inventory as a child.

"Please allow me to say a little arrogantly, I think I have done a relatively systematic research on both Muggle history and wizard history." Eli's tone was slightly relaxed, and he leaned on the carpet beside the bed On the bed, with his head resting on Petunia's lap, he casually flipped through a history of the British Industrial Revolution that he took from the study, "But I didn't think about going to a certain direction for further study, I want to read all of them carefully first. look."

"History is very interesting." Penny said from the bottom of her heart, "Maybe when I first had the idea of ​​further study, it was just to have more connections and similarities with you, but it is very charming. Then, admit it from the bottom of your heart."

Of course it's fun.Eli laughed, nodded, and said, "Since there may be two history experts in the family in the future, it may not be very important whether I go for further studies."

Hey, it's a little early to say that.Petunia laughed, leaned over, patted him reproachfully, he pulled his neck down with his backhand, and kissed - a new posture, Petunia felt that they seemed to be constantly unlocking in this respect.

Little couples in love are so tired, time always flies by.They read books all afternoon (to get rid of some uncontrollable time), waited until dinner time to go downstairs together, and saw that the kitchen table was almost full of sumptuous dinners—Mrs. The red wine to drink tonight, the frying pan in the kitchen is still diligently frying the last dish, Mr. Smith passed by, turned off the fire, and served the dish on the table.

He put down the plate and turned back, just in time to see his son and his girlfriend, he smiled and waved to them in a good mood, and said with great interest: "Hey, I was just going to find you, about the subject I am studying, you guys The idea gave me a new way of thinking - how about we discuss it in the study after dinner?"

"I'll go to the study, but I have other books to read." Eli said, "You can chat with Penny—after she goes to college, you can quickly recruit her to your research group, so that Then you can get together and discuss it every day.”

It's up to you to say.Mr. Smith gave his son a look of course, and Eli laughed. He and Petunia watched Mrs. Smith pick out the red wine together, turned around and pointed at the kitchen with her wand. The frying pan and cutting board jumped into the sink together, and started wash yourself.

"The wonder of magic, the advancement of technology, the blending of civilizations, the knowledge that changes a person's life and vision." Eli said softly, "I don't understand why some people would sneer at one of them—you know, Petunia? I'm really proud of being a half-blood wizard."
