[hp] warm as jade

The gorgeous Malfoy Manor is covered with a layer of joy at this time, the purple wallpaper is decorated with various ornaments, and the hanging ribbons can almost touch people's hair; the corner is leaning against the tall Christmas tree; Flying in the hall, leaving traces like gold powder, with a faint fragrance.

On one side of the hall, several elegant women used various musical instruments to play moving timbres. Handsome and elegant attendants shuttled between the fragrant clothes and temples, and handed glasses of fine wine.

Pansy managed to find a few acquaintances—Lila from the Randall family, Daphne and Astoria from the Greengrass family, Brace from the Zabini family, Millicent from the Burst family, and Theodore of the Knotts, and even their headmaster.Of course, the little ones didn’t dare to go up to say hello, so they greeted their ordinary partners with extraordinary enthusiasm, and greeted politely in the eyes of their parents, so as to be worthy of the gorgeous dresses they were wearing, and then they were allowed to go together Going to the other side of the hall, they began to discuss excitedly about the Malfoy family's banquet this time.

"Could it be an engagement ceremony?" Lila guessed maliciously, "Didn't the invitation say something, to introduce the new member of the Malfoy family to everyone?"

Pansy's face turned pale, and then subconsciously retorted: "How is it possible, Draco is only in the second grade!"

"That's why we got engaged." Blaise felt that it was very possible, "Maybe there is a particularly outstanding girl who was spotted by Mr. Malfoy, so he rushed to get Draco to get her?"

"There are no such people in this generation." Millicent struggled to squeeze out a few words.After all, it was a crime for her strong figure to be squeezed into such an elegant evening dress, but her mother insisted on choosing such a dress for her, which made it difficult for her to breathe.

"Maybe it's from another school, like Beauxbaton. It is said that there are many beauties there." Daphne gossips, "It is said that Beauxbaton has a girl of Veela blood, who is powerful. Maybe it's her?"

Astoria obediently listened to the gossip of her sister and classmates, her big eyes were always full of admiration and admiration, and she looked at the speaker, which made people feel very good.Although she didn't say a word, it was clear that the small group had accepted her.

"But by the way, what about Jiu?" Theodore looked around the hall, "Didn't she say she was staying at Draco's house, who?"

"Not only Jiu, but no one in the Malfoy family." Pansy complained. Obviously, she had been looking for Draco for a long time, but she couldn't find it.

As soon as the voice fell, the lights were suddenly extinguished, and the band on one side stopped playing.The whole hall suddenly fell into silence.Several children gathered together subconsciously at the side, and looked towards the only illuminated staircase in the center of the hall.

A stream of candlelight suddenly lit up on both sides of the stairs, and following the candlelight, four figures came gradually from above the stairs.On the far side are two tall figures, one is dressed in a black delicate dress, with the appearance of a snake drawn in dark green on it, the long light golden hair falls neatly on his shoulders, his elegant and indifferent expression makes him handsome The appearance of one is even more dusty; the other is wearing a dark green long dress, which is generous and simple, without any extra tricks.Such a dull and old-fashioned color became noble and elegant on her body, and even a contemptuous expression could not conceal her strikingly beautiful appearance.

The two figures in the middle are much shorter.A neatly combed pale blond short hair, his already twitching figure has the aura of a few people. The dress on him is like a prince who walked out of a fairy tale. Even though he is still young, he is slightly raised. The imposing manner revealed between the chin and the proud smile has been cultivated, not inferior to his father in the slightest.

Next to the prince is naturally the princess: the man's long black hair is tied behind his head, and a hosta is stuck on it, some broken hair hangs on the childish cheek, and it seems that he has painted light makeup, which makes Ben The pleasing facial features become more beautiful.Like Narcissa, she was wearing a dark green dress with dots of silver on it.Because of the gentle smile on the corner of her lips, her straight back and slightly raised chin did not appear domineering.Although she also has an inviolable aura, she is much softer and more amiable than the people around her.

Lucius glanced around the crowd, seeing the expressions of surprise, reverence or seriousness on their faces, he showed a satisfied smile.He took a step forward: "Thank you for coming to Malfoy Manor..."

"Huh?" On the side of the hall, Pan Xi gasped, "That's..."

"Jiu? Is Jiu going to be engaged to Draco?" Blaise subconsciously took over the conversation, "Today is their engagement ceremony?"

"Oh my god..." Lila sighed, her eyes filled with the emotion of watching a good show.Former friends turned rivals?Slytherin may have a very exciting plot!

"Oh my god." Theodore also exclaimed, of course, the meaning was completely different from Lila's, "She's so beautiful."

Pansy seemed to have the idea of ​​rushing forward to pull Rong Jiu away from Draco, and was about to do it, Daphne and Millicent had to hold her tightly.After all, as long as one person goes up to deliver it, the whole team will get GG.

"...caused the descendant of the Black family, Rong Jiu, to be exiled..."

"Hey, Pansy, calm down." Blaise whispered, the movement on their side has already attracted some attention, "It can't be that they are engaged, Aunt Narcissa is from the Black family, Draco's future wife is not Probably from the Black family again!"

Pansy's struggles stopped suddenly.

Millicent and Daphne released her a little bit, but they still didn't dare to relax their vigilance, for fear that it would be their engagement ceremony in the end, and Pansy would do something to hurt them.

"...Here, the Malfoy family is her home..." Fortunately, Lucius' speech quickly reached the critical point and rescued the two girls: "...From today, she is the Malfoy family's family." Man, like Draco, is the child of me, Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy, named Cassiopeia Malfoy."

A low commotion sounded from the crowd, but those who had been agitated before became quiet instead. They all had the same jaw dropping expression, looking in surprise at the classmate who got along day and night, the quiet and gentle girl who was beaten To be brought in front of people, to deal gracefully with many people, as if born to be a member of the Malfoy family.

From now on, Rong Jiu is no longer that exotic girl without family support!

The music sounded again, and Draco brought Rong Jiu to the middle of the hall. The two little people were going to present the first dance for this ball.The cooperation between the two is very tacit, and there are some whispers from time to time, which fully shows the intimacy of the newly promoted siblings.

In fact, what are Rong Jiu and Draco talking about?

"This is so stupid, it's like showing a monkey to others." Rong Jiu complained while smiling.

"It's not all because of you!" Draco rolled his eyes angrily, and the next second he heard Mr. Lucius' warning cough.

"Draco, it's time for you to grow taller. I'm half a head taller than you in high heels." In fact, it's only a little bit taller, but Rong Jiu still deliberately exaggerated it.

"Don't wear high heels if you have the ability, little man." Draco snorted, and Rong Jiu stepped on the shoes.

Draco: It hurts, but keep smiling.

On the third day of the official holiday, the Lucius couple and Rong Jiu formally proposed to join the Malfoy family.Of course, Lucius' reason was: as descendants of the Black family, the Malfoy family had an obligation to fulfill their responsibilities. As for joining the Malfoy family, giving Rong Jiu a clan status was to protect the two children.

And Narcissa is much more sincere.Although it was only three days, it was enough for her to have a good impression of this little witch.Besides, Draco had a very good relationship with her, and Draco would be much happier if she stayed at Malfoy Manor.

She held Rong Jiu's hand, and gently stated the fact that she and Lucius liked Rong Jiu very much when they got along, and at the end they played the emotional card: they only had one child, Draco, and he was always lonely. One sister, the family is more complete.

Rong Jiu, who already longed for a family, had no way to refuse after Narcissa gave such a reason.

After the general direction is determined, the discussion of various details begins.At first, the two didn't intend to change Rong Jiu's name.Later, in a small chat, several people talked about the differences between Chinese and Western cultures. Rong Jiu smiled and said that in fact, some people on their side like to choose an English name for themselves, and asked Draco if he wanted to choose a Chinese name.

The head of a ten thousand-year-old vixen like Lucius is not ordinary treacherous. Hearing such a thing, he simply gave Rong Jiu an "English name".His idea is to act first, and the more thoroughly he becomes a member of the Malfoy family, the better.After all, there was Dumbledore's old fox watching over him.

"We are a family, of course we must have the same surname." Lucius said.

Of course, the Malfoy family also learned some Chinese, and now they all have their own Chinese names: Lucius' name is Yi Yi, because he hopes his future path will be easier; Narcissa's name is Bai Mo (Bai is Rong Jiu’s mother’s surname, it took Rong Jiu a long time to get Narcissa to accept “two surnames for one family”), because Blake’s translation means black, and the more elegant name is Mo; Draco’s name is Rong Jin, which was chosen by Rong Jiu , like her, from the side of "jade", which is exactly the method of Chinese brothers and sisters, which means flawless beautiful jade.

"Cassie...that sounds weird," Draco grumbled, "I'm more used to being called Jiu."

"Whatever." Rong Jiu shrugged, "It's me anyway. I still find it strange that you asked me to call you Rong Jin."

"That's the name you chose. You won't bully me for not knowing Chinese and give me a strange name?"

"...It has nothing to do with that, it's just a habit. You don't trust me that much? Now I'm your sister!"

After dancing with Draco, Rong Jiu accepted invitations from several peers.It wasn't until the sixth song was over that she declined the invitation for the next dance, and fled the hall on the pretext of going to the toilet to avoid the crowd.

It wasn't until she stood on the big grass in Malfoy Manor that she really relaxed and let out a long breath of relief.

Although such a scene is beautiful, it is only after experiencing it that you will know how tiring it is. For a lazy person like her, it is better for a lazy person like her to lie on the sofa, eat snacks and read a book.

"Dobby." Rong Jiu called softly.

With a "snap", an elf wearing a festive ribbon appeared in front of Rong Jiu, and his head almost touched the ground when he saluted: "Your honorable and kind little master, do you call me?"

"Yes." A smile floated on Rong Jiu's face, "Please bring me a thick cloak, it's really cold outside."

"Dobby is happy to serve the little master!" Dobby screamed, and with a snap of his fingers, a black cloak appeared in Dobby's hand.Rong Jiu smiled and took it from Dobby's hand: "Thank you, Dobby."

"Oh little master is always so gentle!" Tears welled up in Dobby's big yellow-green eyes, his face was touched and intoxicated.

After Rong Jiu decided to join the Malfoy family, she had an in-depth conversation with Dobby in private. The core content was that she would try her best to protect Harry, and she would try her best to consider his situation in the Malfoy family. There was only one requirement—— Don't make all kinds of noises around her. If Dobby didn't intervene in that Quidditch match, maybe the result would have been a little more harmonious. To put it more than tears, it's almost death to express its deep emotion. like.

Rong Jiu patted its pointed ears helplessly: "Okay, let's go to work."

Dobby saluted her again with a happy face, and then disappeared into the air with another "pop".

Rong Jiu shook his head amusedly, holding a cup of hot milk from the hall, looking at the starry sky, lost in thought.

Constellation, star trail.Each star corresponds to a person's destiny.So which one is hers?Correspondingly, what kind of fate?

Three people were born because of her, who are they?

Who was the one who died because of her?Why did you die?

If everything is disrupted, is it possible for that person to open his life door?

What should she do?

Just when her thoughts were in a mess, a deep voice interrupted her meditation: "I thought you should dance in the hall instead of being alone outside in a daze."

This voice...why is it so familiar?

Rong Jiu shuddered, and slowly turned her head to the side.A black wizard robe came into view, followed by a somewhat sallow face, a pair of bottomless black eyes, and a head of black hair.Perhaps because he came to the prom, he didn't look greasy like he did in school, and he was much more refreshed, which added a little points to his appearance.But no amount of extra points can comfort Rong Jiu whose heart has fallen to the bottom.

Why is there such a person everywhere? !

"Hehehehe good evening, Professor Snape." Rong Jiu faked a smile, afraid that others would not be able to see her unhappiness.

Snape glanced at her. "What should I call you? Ron? Or... Cassiopeia Malfoy?"

"It doesn't matter, it's me anyway, call it whatever you like." Rong Jiu shrugged.

Snape snorted: "Don't think you can do whatever you want outside of school, may I remind you of the basic need to respect professors?"

Rong Jiu straightened his face immediately: "Dear professor, your wishes are above all else, no matter what my name is, I am your cutest student."

"..."

Snape didn't know how many times he started to reflect, was he too gentle?Or is it too fierce?Isn't this student a very docile and well-behaved child when he first entered school?How come the more we get along, the more... Erpilian?

However, he already got what he wanted from the answers.

The Malfoys chose her, not she chose the Malfoys.

Dumbledore can rest assured.

Snape, who was relieved, was in a good mood, so he didn't mind chatting with his favorite student: "The protagonist of today's dance, did he escape?"

Rong Jiu's face quickly fell, and she accused with tears: "Those people are terrible! They can boast about everything to me, won't their conscience be condemned?!"

"..." Snape thought it was a mistake for him to want to chat with Rong Jiu.

"It seems that you are still very self-aware."

Rong Jiu showed a slightly wretched smile: "The professor ran out like this for the same reason as me, right?" Could it be that someone praised the professor for being handsome?

Snape's temple twitched twice.

"I don't like that kind of atmosphere." He gritted his teeth and squeezed out word by word.

Rong Jiu looked at him sympathetically, saying that he was simple-minded and well-developed.Professor Snape must have an overdeveloped mind that leads to unusually simple limbs, so he doesn't want to make a fool of himself in front of others.Poor professor oh...

"Put away that stupid expression of yours!" Snape's face finally completely darkened.

"Professor," Rong Jiu suddenly had a strange thought, "If, I mean, if, I invite you to dance with me, will you...?" Will you trample me to death?She swallowed the second half wisely.

Snape glanced at her, then suddenly reached out his hand, pulling her towards him.Rong Jiu didn't react, and slammed into his chest...or in other words, on his stomach, and then heard a mocking voice: "Just because of your height?"

"..." This time, it was Rong Jiu who was speechless.She stared at the blackness in front of her angrily, how tall is she?Big fool!Don't you know that concentration is the essence?

Rong Jiu didn't know it at this time, but on this day, she officially took the first step on the road to death, and went further and further until the last day of her life.
