[hp] warm as jade

In a dimly lit room, a short man with thinning hair huddled tremblingly. A circle of dementors surrounded the door, trying to absorb something from the air. A thick layer of cold formed on the door. Frost, and it is still superimposed layer by layer, the small room is like a hole in the ice, you can only choose despair or death.

Pettigrew hugged his shoulders and tried to shrink himself into the wall, trying to distance himself from the dementors, but it didn't work.All that came to his mind were memories that he wanted to forget.

His mother looked mournful when she saw his so-called body, but he didn't even dare to go forward and tell her that he was still alive, and he just hid silently in a mouse hole to accompany her.Then he watched his mother drink meth and fell into a deep sleep forever.He could have stopped it, but he didn't dare, because he knew that the house was protected by Aurors, and if he showed up, people would know what was going on.

How much he hated at that time, hated the Aurors for not protecting her well, hated the Potter family for letting him be the secret keeper in order to protect Sirius, hated Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix was not strong enough...but he didn't dare to hate the Dark Lord, even I dare not even think about it.

He couldn't forget the summer of graduation, when Sirius and James ate, drank and had fun together, while Remus stayed at Hogwarts, discussing with Madam Pomfrey the possibility of improving the wolf elixir.They all have places to go, but he doesn't, he has to go back to that home, the home without any protection.Then he was captured by the Dark Lord and spent a dark time.

He turned to the Dark Lord.He knew that he was just an insignificant role in the Order of the Phoenix. Dumbledore would protect James, rely on Sirius, and pay attention to Remus, but no one would work on him, even those three Neither will.He has always been their follower.Who cares about the safety of a follower?At least he was on the Dark Lord's side and no one could persecute him.

But, it's just that no one can persecute him.

The black memories in my mind kept rolling.He couldn't remember his time at Hogwarts anymore, maybe, he was going to die soon?

Suddenly, there was a slight sound, like the sound of feathers passing by. Even if you listen carefully, you will take it as your illusion.But Pettigrew was startled and raised his head abruptly.

A small paper man got in through the gap.It looks really the size of a fingernail. If you don't look carefully, you can think of it as a pattern on a marble.

Pettigrew's eyes widened.

The paper man came in and stopped moving.Pettigrew waited for a long time, but still couldn't wait for any movement, so he moved two steps carefully and touched it with his toe.

no response.

Pettigrew waited for a while to see if it still didn't respond, then bent down and touched it carefully with his fingers.

Still no response.

He finally couldn't bear it and picked it up from the ground.It was cut out of pure white paper, with only a little bright red on it, and nothing else.

At this moment, another paper man came in through the gap, roughly the same as the last one, Pettigrew picked it up, put it in his palm, looked at it carefully, and felt puzzled.This room is supposed to be a magic-forbidden room. All magic will be invalid. How did this thing get in?

Dementor cut?

At this moment, three more paper figurines came in one after another, still lying there motionless.Although Pettigrew thought it was inexplicable, it was still a rare and different thing, so he picked it up one by one and held it in his hand to admire.

This time, it was not a paper figurine that got in, but a small piece of paper.Pettigrew opened with words written in ink.He turned it upside down and read:

"Put the note away, put the paper figurine on the floor for my old lady, idiot!"

Pettigrew hurried to do so, his watery eyes lit up.He knew that someone was going to save him.Wouldn't Dumbledore spend so much effort just to punish him?

Those villains fell to the ground and suddenly moved, five of them walked to different positions one by one, surrounding Pettigrew in the middle.Then, the bright red spot on them suddenly lit up, and gradually all gathered on Pettigrew.Vaguely, Pettigrew heard a clear female voice, muttering something in a strange tone.

Great light.

When Pettigrew recovered, he was already outside the door.Behind him was the room full of dementors he had been in.He could hear the door to his prison being opened.He knew that those dementors had noticed something was wrong.Before he had time to think, he quickly turned into a mouse and ran around the castle.

Rong Jiu bounced and walked towards the common room, humming an unknown song.Unexpectedly, when he turned a corner, he saw Snape walking towards him with a cup of hot potion.

"Professor, good afternoon." Rong Jiu greeted reluctantly.I don't know what stimulated the professor at Malfoy Manor, but her homework was more than twice as much as before.Now she has also become a frequent visitor to the infirmary, otherwise her spirit would not be able to keep up with the heavy schoolwork.

"It seems that those things are nothing to Miss Rong, otherwise why would she have the leisure to wander around the castle?" Snape glanced over her empty hands and sneered.

Rong Jiu rolled her eyes indistinctly: "Professor Report, I just had dinner, went to the library to return the books, and didn't hang around."

Snape "kindly" reminded: "You have two papers that will be in front of me later, don't forget. If I don't see it..."

"Yes, yes, professor, I understand." Rong Jiu sighed wearily.She stayed up all night yesterday, plus this afternoon, and finally finished the dissertation smoothly.But this is not good news, because there is another paper to be handed over to Snape and one to Professor McGonagall tomorrow.That means she's going to stay up all night again today.

"Before that, give this to Professor Lupine." Snape mentioned the name, his lips curled up unhappily, "I wish him...a speedy recovery."

"Are you sure you're not talking about early death and early birth?" Rong Jiu wanted to laugh, and subconsciously sneered.She heard that Neville's classmate in Gryffindor made Professor Snape wear his grandmother's clothes in Professor Lupine's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, so until now, Neville has been in Potions class. Lost almost fifty points to Gryffindor.And as soon as Snape heard Lupine's name, his temper doubled.

Received Snape's warning gaze, Rong Jiu closed her mouth obediently, and took the cup with a charming smile: "I'll just do this trivial matter, how can I bother you, old man, for a trip, right? Would you like To contribute to the development of the potion world, you can't waste your time in these places, I'll do it, I'll do it."

The corner of Snape's mouth twitched, and a deep sense of powerlessness struck again.How should he treat this student?He has tried all kinds of methods, including civil and military punishments, and he has said all kinds of good and bad words, why is he so... two-faced?

Seeing Rong Jiu take the cup and run up in big strides, Snape shook his head and went back to his office.

Besides, Rong Jiu was holding a cup and walking towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, but was stopped by someone halfway: "Uh, Jiu?"

"Hey, Harry?" Rong Jiu was a little surprised, but still greeted with a smile, "Ron, Hermione, you are all here."

"Well, we just had dinner, are you...?"

"Oh, I'm going to deliver the medicine to Professor Lu Ping." Rong Jiu raised the cup in her hand, the liquid in it swayed with her movements, and the hearts of Harry and the others swayed with the medicine. of.

"Ah, is Professor Lupine sick?" Hermione looked worried, "He seemed to be in good condition when he was in class today."

Rong Jiu thought for a while: "Maybe it's a hidden disease?"

Harry and the others didn't respond, but giggles came from behind them.

"Fred, did you hear—"

"—Of course, George. It's funny how the little Slytherin girl said—"

"——Professor Lupine has a hidden disease!"

After the words fell, two people with the same appearance jumped into the middle of them from the side, with bright smiles on their faces, as if they had found some interesting toy, and the four of them took a step back in fright.

"Oh girl, you're the Malfoy one—"

"—It's not like that, it looks much smarter than that idiot Draco—"

"—It may not be shrewd, it's much cuter."

When the twins spoke, others couldn't get in their mouths at all, and even the Gryffindor trio who were used to it were taken aback for a while, let alone Rong Jiu, who was completely unfamiliar with them.

"Hey, George, do you hear—"

"——ha, it must be bad."

The twins look at each other.Then with a thump, the potion splashed a tiny flower in front of them.

"you……"

"A little present—"

"—a delicious candy, of Muggle origin—"

"——very precious, a Christmas present from Dad."

"Season him." The twins blinked together.

Before a few people could react, the twins seemed to have found a new joy: "Hey, Fred, look over there!"

"Wow, Angelina!"

Fred—maybe it was George—blew a whistle, and the two quickly disappeared across the corridor, leaving the four of them staring at each other dumbfounded.

After a while, Rong Jiu came back to his senses, and directly handed the cup of potion to Ron: "Your brother gave Professor Lu Ping a gift, you go and deliver it. Oh, I still have something to do, so what, my brother told me to come back Eat at home, let's go first."

"Hey, you can't—"

Hermione glared at Ron angrily: "Come on, your family is in trouble, you go and deliver it."

"Which side are you from?" Ron said dissatisfied.

Rong Jiu quickly left the voices of the three behind, and walked towards Professor Snape's office.It's almost time, and her class is about to start.

The author has something to say:

The progress suddenly accelerated... because the explanations that should be explained are almost done, and Peter is the only one left to solve. -0-
