Chapter 108 Patronus

Rong Jiu is the only girl in the room, no matter what the reason is, she must have no problem living in a room alone.Not to mention that Rong Jiu herself prefers the feeling of having a separate space compared to living in the dormitory of the school - at night, she wants to read books, sing and sing, and want to mess around with small gadgets... If you don't want to wear pajamas, don't wear pajamas. Anyway, as long as you don't make too much noise, you can do anything.

Needless to say, Snape had slept by himself since he was a child, and he hated the experience of living in a dormitory.Live with someone?nonexistent.

What's more, even if Draco was given 1 guts, he wouldn't dare to propose to share a room with Snape or propose to share a room with Rong Jiu in front of Snape... There are only two rooms, or Sleeping in the hallway, his future seems predictable.Draco was a little panicked, and kept sending a distress signal to Rong Jiu.

"Uh, why don't you use the space extension spell and put a curtain between the two beds?" Rong Jiu suggested, "Add a petrification spell to the curtain, although it's relatively simple, but it still counts as two rooms? "

Snape nodded reluctantly.This feeling is like a small suite, which is barely acceptable.

"Dobby, I'll leave it to you." Draco breathed a sigh of relief, lifted his chin, and ordered.

"Obey, little master!" Dobby bent down deeply, almost touching his head to the instep of his feet.It disappeared into the room with another slight "snap", and soon there was a crash upstairs, which sounded like a cheerful dance music.

"Since your father sent you here, he wanted you to learn more." Snape looked at Draco and said slowly, "I hope that at least after this holiday, Mr. Malfoy can at least learn how to use himself brain."

Standing behind Snape, Rong Jiu made a big grimace at Draco.

Draco bared his teeth and glared at her.

Snape had a panoramic view of Draco's expression, and felt an inexplicable sense of unhappiness in his heart, but it was quickly suppressed: "Study freely during the day and make arrangements for yourself at night. However, in case someone (he glanced at Draco Branch) has no motivation, so I will do some tests every once in a while, if the performance is not satisfactory..."

He paused and frowned, as if he was thinking about what could motivate these two guys to study hard every day.

"Responsible for the food during this time."

"What?" Rong Jiu and Draco called out together.

"Professor, can this product be eaten for cooking?" Rong Jiu took the lead in protesting, "This is not punishing him, but punishing us!"

Draco nodded wildly from the sidelines, looking at Snape expectantly.

Snape's eyes fell on Rong Jiu: "If this is the case...Mr. Malfoy can only eat alone before he can make something edible."

"It means you will take me out to eat, right?" Rong Jiu's eyes lit up, seeing Snape nod his head slightly, he was instantly happier, "Can I choose whatever I want? I'm listening to Flau Hall says there's a really nice ice cream shop over there in London!"

"If it's dessert after dinner." Snape curled his lips, forgiving him for not being interested in such sweet and icy things that little girls like.

"It's not fair!" Draco was anxious, "I'm a normal person, how can I compare with a pervert like her!"

Snape looked expressionless, but Rong Jiu could see the pride in the trick: "Except for the first time, the next test is to compare yourself with yourself."

"..."

"Professor, this is Uncle Lucius' idea, right?" Rong Jiu said affirmatively.According to her understanding of the professor, cleaning the floor or copying books or even cleaning the toilet is the method he would choose.This kind of idea that directly hits the desire of two people, how could it be possible for a pure professor to come up with it!

Snape raised his eyebrows, "That's none of your business."

But such an answer is no different from affirmation... Rong Jiu and Draco exchanged meaningful glances.So a few days later, a huge bill appeared beside Lucius' bed, which made his heart bleed.Of course, this is all for later.

Since it was Draco's first day here, he didn't arrange any frenzied learning content that day. He just walked around and chatted about the upcoming vacation study plan.When it was time to rest at night, Rong Jiu and Draco were dumbfounded together.

Rong Jiu pushed the door open and froze there. After a while, she finally came to her senses and turned her head: "Why...is my room being transformed?"

"Huh?" Draco was doing mental training in the corridor, and he felt terrible at the thought of sharing a room with Snape. When he heard this sentence suddenly, he didn't react at all, and turned his head with bitter hatred. , "What do you mean?"

Rong Jiu hooked his fingers: "Come and see."

Draco glanced at her hesitantly, moved a few steps, and poked his head out carefully——

"What does this mean?"

The small room in front of him was divided into two by a simple wall (curtain), and both sides looked so familiar.The left side is much more lively: the bed is placed horizontally in front of the half window, and there are seven or eight pillows of the same color as his hair.His strange things are placed in the way he is used to, and even his most precious oil painting of a flying dragon is hung on the wall on the left hand side, flapping its wings and flying wantonly in the painting ;Although the layout on the right is the same as that on the left, it is much gentler: a small wind chime hangs in front of half of the window, the dark green bed sheet is trimmed with white lace, and a silver pillow rests quietly on the head of the bed .Next to the bed is a table with parchment and books, and even a small vase with a lily in it.

Rong Jiu and Draco stared at each other, speechless for a while.

"You go down." Rong Jiu pointed to the stairs unceremoniously, "You can come up after I take a shower."

……

That night, Rong Jiu suffered from insomnia again, lying on her own half-drawn window and staring at the moon in a daze.Before the mood was brewed, another head suddenly poked out from the side, and Rong Jiu almost screamed in shock.The head turned around, stared at the moon for a few seconds, then turned around suddenly, meeting Rong Jiu's eyes.

Rong Jiu: "..."

Draco: "!"

"You don't sleep in the middle of the night, you're scary!" Draco, who had regained his composure, roared fiercely.

Changing the environment and staying away from his parents is a very cruel thing for young master Draco.

No matter what kind of reputation his parents have outside, they have a good relationship, and he is the only son. His family has always been happy.For him, the best thing in this world is their home.

But now the situation is chaotic, and the Dark Lord seems to be suspicious of his parents.His mother had talked to him in secret, and although he said that with his father's tact, it was impossible to be caught by the Dark Lord, but it didn't mean it was safe.Now, the Dark Lord has arranged for a group of Death Eaters to "borrow" Malfoy Manor. Once the Dark Lord is about to have a brain twitch, his father will not be able to escape, so they put him in a relatively safe place. If something happens, at least he can be kept.

"Don't be impulsive, Draco." His mother gently stroked his hair, just like he had a nightmare before and was coaxed by her in her arms, but the words he said were almost cruel, "If it is true Something happened, you are not here, maybe the Dark Lord will consider that he will not kill us immediately if he wants to catch you. So you have to be obedient and follow Severus well. Only when you become stronger will you not be always under the control of others .”

"You have to trust your father. Back then, he decided to let Cassie join the Malfoy family. Facts have proved that he was right. This child is indeed strong and affectionate. If it wasn't for Cassie, it would be your father who made the trouble. You You can imagine what kind of situation you will face. What's more, this time is just a precautionary measure. If nothing happens, then it's just as if you went to your dean's house for tutoring. Your father has high expectations for you, and you enjoyed it For the wealth and honor that Malfoy brought to you, you must fulfill your responsibility for it."

Therefore, Draco still looked heartless during the day, but in fact his heart was heavy, and it was all about things.He couldn't sleep for a long time, got up and planned to stay in a daze for a while, but turned his head and saw a black-haired head hanging there. For a moment, he felt that he almost had a myocardial infarction.

Rong Jiu pouted: "If you didn't wake up in the middle of the night to be scary, how do you know that I get up in the middle of the night to be scary?"

"I'm worrying about my studies." Draco said confidently, "Planning for the days ahead."

"Then tell me, what are you planning?" Rong Jiu rested her chin on her arm, turned her head sideways, her raised eyebrows and pursed lips all showed that she was deeply suspicious of his nonsense. Do not believe.

Draco raised his head and said disdainfully, "How could I tell you that we are competitors!"

"You're right," Rong Jiu nodded, "I'll try my best to eat all the delicacies in London with the professor, so I won't let you!"

The two looked at each other, both showing determined smiles.

"I don't quite understand," Draco looked up at the moon, "Why...why did you get involved here?"

"what?"

"I mean, you have nothing to do with all of this, right?" Draco whispered, "You can go back to the East and continue your peaceful life, instead of taking things one by one like now. Injure yourself. I admit...he is a very strong man, but he can't protect you very well."

"Your family, they are waiting for you to go back after graduation, remember?"

"Yeah..." Rong Jiu murmured.

Her family member.The father who always pretends to be serious, in fact, as long as she acts like a baby, he always has nothing to do with her; her grandmother doesn't seem to be very serious, but as long as it is about Rong Jiu, she will give her 1 attentions.There are no memories of distant relatives.

My mother passed away early, and my grandparents also left early. There are only three of them in this world.

"I really want to go back just like this." Rong Jiu also raised his head, looking at the few stars scattered in the sky, "Do you remember the story I told you about my family? I am actually really scared, leaving home It’s so far away, and we can’t see each other for so many years. But my father told me that this is the only way, otherwise our family will not be able to escape.”

"Actually, I don't quite understand why this is happening?" Draco asked inexplicably, "It's just that he married a little far away, so how could it be so serious. Look at Lin's family..."

He paused, wishing he could slap himself twice.

What happened to Flower's family?Grandpa and grandma slaughtered to death, mother went crazy and father was unknown, even worse than Rong Jiu... Well, they are very similar, they are almost the same.

"My father said, this is balance." Rong Jiu laughed, "You know, we pay attention to balance and dominate everything. Although Muggles and wizards are opposites, they cannot be truly separated—a wizard will suddenly appear inside the Muggles. , and wizarding families also have some squibs. Just those little kids you see running around the streets during the day may be one of the Hogwarts students in the future. Before, wizards were powerful for a while Time, but gradually the ruler of this world has become a Muggle. And the East is the same. This is an inevitable mechanism, and now wizards are in a low period, and it will take a long time before they will become stronger again in the future. "

"Does this have anything to do with what we're talking about?" Draco was actually a little dizzy, but he definitely wouldn't admit it.

"Oh, my father said, if my grandma had found a Muggle to marry, it wouldn't be such a big deal." Rong Jiu shrugged, "Because the great fortune of the world is suppressing all magic, so it just so happens that we are unlucky."

"Are you kidding?" Draco said incredulously.

Rong Jiu rolled his eyes at him: "Think about it yourself? Don't you think that the frequency of big devils appearing is getting higher and higher? Over the past 100 years, first Grinwald, then the Dark Lord, throughout the history of magic, you You can't find it that often. Think about the history of Muggles, how many battles have they fought in the years before? It has only recently stabilized?"

Some things can't bear to think about, because once you think about it carefully, you will feel creepy.Although Draco's history of magic test is not very good, there is still no problem with the general trend. After thinking about it seriously... It seems that the situation has been calm for thousands of years, but recently there have always been big monsters.

"It's like we're being manipulated by something else." Draco shivered, hugging the pillow a little tighter.

"This is an inevitable self-protection mechanism." Rong Jiu had a different opinion, "Think about it, if the whole world were wizards, it would be so chaotic. If nothing else, just apparate, it's okay Just jumping to someone else's house, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

Draco laughed "poof": "Are you talking about the daytime? Bothering you?"

Rong Jiu rubbed her nose, but said nothing.

"Okay, okay, continue what I said before, why don't you just stay here and wait to leave with peace of mind?" Draco gossiped, "Just because of your love?"

"You may not believe it if you say it, but it's not all." Rong Jiu spread his hands, "I think the so-called fate of the family's life-for-life is probably the suppression or even the expansion of magic that may exist by the 'Tao'. Punishment, since you want to get rid of such a fate, you must not just finish reading the book. If you want to atone for the crime of finding the door of life, shouldn’t you go through a lot of suffering? Of course... what you said is also part of the reason.”

Draco laughed again.

"So this holiday, let's read more books on defense." He suggested, "Increase the chance of survival."

"One of my ancestors said that the best swordsmanship is to replace defense with offense." Rong Jiu said.

It was the first time Draco heard a similar statement, and it felt very fresh: "Oh, it sounds very reasonable, what happened next?"

"Later, he and his enemies died together." Seeing Draco's sudden change of expression, Rong Jiu found it amused, "There is no other way, he was all offensive, although he killed the other party, he was too injured and couldn't be saved. "

Draco: "..."

"The most classic defensive spell is the armor spell, right?" Seeing that his expression was not good, Rong Jiu quickly changed the subject, "This thing is enough to protect the body, and ordinary offensive spells can be blocked. Others similar to shield spells and barrier spells are not as good as it."

"We've learned all of this, why don't you try the Patronus Charm." Draco suggested, "Since dementors will join the battle in the future, it's a good idea to learn this."

"Oh, speaking of dementors, last month my father said in a letter to me that his research has made progress, and it is estimated that he will be able to make something similar this year." Rong Jiu pulled out his shirt from the collar. The jade pendant dangled in front of Draco.

"Then you don't need to learn?" Draco was a little surprised, even yearning, will he be able to play handsome in front of Pansy in the future?

Rong Jiu shook his head: "Let's learn, what if someone not only dangles in front of you, but also values ​​your beauty and wants to kiss you forcibly?"

The author has something to say:

In fact, I originally wanted to write that Draco lived in the kitchen, because I thought it was interesting that the young master was woken up by the smell of oily smoke and the sound of dingling clanging every morning, and I could even write about him waking up to find himself in a pile of cabbages and potatoes between.

Then when chatting with a friend, she mentioned that she and her younger sister had rooms next to each other, so they often chatted through the window when they were young, and it was fun, and I was a little moved by what I said.Well, the brother and sister party chatting with each other on their own bed through the curtain, it's a very warm scene when you think about it.But it’s a pity that I don’t have brothers and sisters, and I don’t have childhood sweethearts or bamboo horses who grew up together, so I have to write this scene to satisfy myself 233

I found myself craving food when I was writing, and took out my mobile phone to order takeaway, but the balance was insufficient...so the only thing that can really stop me from overeating is poverty and laziness [crying]

Guess what is Xiaojiu's patron saint?
