[HP] Companion

Edith hasn't been back since I first met her.

The Hellmans don't celebrate Christmas because it's a Muggle holiday.It's just that the school will be on holiday during this period in order to cooperate with the students from most Muggle families.However, I have been used to this festival for more than ten years, and it feels a little strange to suddenly lose the festive atmosphere.

Mr Alston if I want to.I interrupted him before he finished speaking.I'm a Hellman, and I'm going to follow the customs here.

I saw Edith again on a snowy morning.The sun shines on the ground after a night of snow, dazzling and dazzling.I lay down on the window of the bedroom, and used my magic wand to direct the snow on the ground to form various patterns.My courses were basically completed, and the tutor and Miss Anna around me were all sent away by the task, so I was left alone to play this childish game boringly.

Edith apparated to the gate of the manor.From a distance, I saw her crimson robe, and she was wearing a black cloak with a hood, and snow fell on her exposed hair.The cold wind blew the corners of her clothes, and when she approached, I saw her expressionless face—or rather, a little angry.So I immediately went downstairs and ran to see her.

"I don't want to do it anymore."

I heard her say this to Mr. Osman, followed by a loud slamming door.I shivered in fright, Mr. Alston handed her cloak to the house elf, and then smiled at me comfortingly: "You don't have to be afraid, Miss Alice."

"... What happened to her?" How could she not be afraid.I have never seen Edith lose her temper, and her letters to me are always gentle and dignified, I have never seen her like this.

"In her position, there are always many things that don't suit you. Even the patriarch will inevitably get angry. Do you want breakfast?" I wanted to say that I was not hungry, but Mr. Osman took it without giving me time to answer. I went to the restaurant, "Miss Alice, the patriarch is not as gentle as he looks, it's just that you are the daughter of her beloved sister, that's why I showed you this image. I hope you will remember what I said."

"But being angry is another matter."

Of course I know that Edith, as a member of the saints, is necessary for her to be hard-hearted and vicious.However, as a person like her, it is the correct behavior to be rational at all times. It is impossible for her to get angry because of a small matter, even if the plan fails, she may not be so angry.Besides, the words "I don't want to do it anymore" sound a bit naive, and they must be said out of madness.

Mr. Osman's expression at this time seemed to be helpless, but he seemed a little happy.Finally, he regained his usual calm: "There are some things we can't get involved in, Miss Alice. The patriarch will always figure it out."

What would she want to understand?

I tilted my head in thought.Edith was angry, but she seemed very wronged.She is sad.Mr. Osman hinted to me that this was her private matter, so I stopped thinking about it and just hoped that she would recover soon.

"Edith... Patriarch, she has always been like this. Although she is gentle with others now, her temper has always been fierce, but she can always calm down."

I didn't feel much sleep that night, so I ran to the underground library.All the precious books and records of the Hellmann family from the beginning to the present are preserved here.The library is huge, and the books get older and rarer the further you go.

I was so lost in the library that I forgot the time.Until the person on the portrait reminded me: "Son, aren't you going out yet? They've been arguing for a long time."

debate……?I walked lightly to the stairs, and I heard the voices of Edith and Mr. Osman.

"I watched you grow up, Edith. I know too..."

"You don't know anything, Osman! You're just a Squib in Hellmann when we start planning our ambitious future! You don't know anything!"

"Edith—"

"He's ruining everything by doing this! He's ruining not only our ideals, but also our future and everyone's future!"

"You accept the truth, Edith. We all see it clearly."

Finally, footsteps.Someone left.Edith came down the stairs and found me before I fled.Her face was swollen from crying, but she laughed when she saw me: "Did I scare you, Edith?"

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop, sorry." I apologized uneasily to her.If I had known such a conversation, I would never have listened to it.But I'm more worried about Edith's condition than being raped by her.I don't know what she is sad about, but I also want to shed tears with her.

"Talk to me." Edith held out her hand, and she pulled me to sit on the steps together.Heilmann's house is still warm in winter, and you can still feel the heat when you sit on it.Edith sobbed for a while, and finally wiped away her tears: "You must have many questions for me."

"No," I vetoed without even thinking about it, "if you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

"Then I'll tell you."

Edith rested her chin on one hand, and she looked into the distance, and I knew her eyes had already looked into the past.Gradually her lips curled upward.I looked at her side face, and I seemed to see her girlish appearance from that slightly vicissitudes of face.

It's a very long story.

At that time there was no war in the wizarding world.Everything is quiet and peaceful.At that time Hellmann was still a prosperous family, and Edith was a carefree little girl with many companions.At that time she already knew Gellert Grindelwald.Although the two families are not family friends, they still have some contacts.

Edith and Grindelwald's relationship gradually improved in Durmstrang.They began to plan for the future. Everything about the saints and the present was planned at that time.

Later, Grindelwald was expelled from the school. Although Durmstrang also taught black magic, he did too much, and even the school could not tolerate his behavior.After being expelled, Grindelwald went to England, where he met Dumbledore, and they became very good friends.Later, their philosophies diverged, and Grindelwald left.But even as an enemy, Grindelwald still values ​​him.

"So Grindelwald is unwilling to occupy Britain because of Dumbledore?"

I asked Edith that.She didn't answer me, the answer was already in silence.I probably realized why Edith was unhappy.Now it is Dumbledore who threatens Grindelwald the most, but he is still hesitating about his old friendship.If Grindelwald hadn't gone head to head with Dumbledore, the Saints would never have won and England would always be a happy place.

"I bet my entire family on him, but he gave me this answer."

Tears seemed to be welling up in her eyes.I wanted to say something to her, but in the end I couldn't say anything.

Edith closed her eyes wearily.A few minutes later, she stood up: "It's getting late. Go back to sleep, Alice. If you don't sleep well, Anna will blame me again."

I obeyed her words.At this time, I thought of Mr. Osman. She seemed to see my thoughts and rubbed my hair: "Don't worry about Osman's affairs. I will talk to him later."

"he is a……"

"A Squib," said Edith with a heavy sigh, as if Osman had troubled her more than a saint, "so he lost his chance at Durmstrang at birth. My father looked at him with pity, Just let him come to the manor. Everyone knows these things. So you don't have to feel sorry for him, and Osman himself will not. Even if he is a squib, he is a man approved by Hellman. So put away your kindness, Ai Liz Heilman doesn't need a saint."

"You mean kindness is not important?"

I was taken aback by the sharp tone of my question.Edith was also stunned for a moment, and then she laughed, and I couldn't understand why she laughed.Under my puzzled eyes, she finally stopped: "You really are a Hufflepuff, Alice."

I am proud of my college.I wanted to say that, but she didn't give me the chance.She stared into my eyes and said in a firm tone: "So you are suitable to manage a family, not to work for an idea."

No, I can do anything as long as you expect it.I was so eager to express myself, I wanted their approval.However, in the end these words were forcibly blocked by Edith.

"I know what you're thinking, Alice. But it's getting late, we'll talk about the future. The most important task now is to cure your illness."

"I'm healing!"

I protested dissatisfied.The look in Edith's eyes calmed me down.Why is she looking at me like that?The look in her eyes made me flustered.It was a look of pity, a look towards the ignorant.I've seen people in orphanages look that way, and Tom has looked at me that way.

But why does Edith look at me like that?Am I wrong, I am healing.My body is almost back to being as healthy as it used to be.I don't cough up blood, and I don't feel weak in every morning.I am healing.

"It's time for you to sleep, Alice."

"... Is Anna hiding something from me? Are you hiding something from me?"

Edith sighed again.

"On the contrary, Alice, it's all up to you."

This sentence confuses me and scares me at the same time.Finally, I was pushed back to the room, and I lay on the bed in a daze. The warm room only made my hands and feet colder.I tossed and turned, but never fell asleep.I went through everything before in my mind, hoping to find clues.Am I not healing?Isn't Anna's theory in line with my current situation?She can't be wrong, and neither can I.So why on earth is Edith looking at me like that?Why did she react like that?

I didn't know until later that it was the gaze of someone who was doomed to die.

The author has something to say:

This chapter explains a lot about Edith. She is really a character I like very much. I wanted to write about her from the beginning, but because her setting is related to the past of Grindelwald and Dumbledore, and After the release of Fantastic Beasts, I was afraid of being slapped in the face...so I haven't opened a hole.After this book is finished, I will probably write a story about Edith.

I am particularly worried that some GGAD will hate the role of Edith... I also like GGAD very much, so I can only say that this pair is ORZ that will not be dismantled

In addition, the author has recently started school, and there are many things to do after returning to school, and the saved manuscripts are gone. Try to make daily updates, of course, there may be a break for a day or two in the middle... definitely not abandoning the pit! !The outline of this article is written very carefully, and it will not be too long. I will definitely not abandon the pit if I abandon it! !
