[HP] If youth has an ageless face

From his very early age, Blaise understood that one of the things humans cannot resist is beauty.An important lesson taught by Edwina's precepts and deeds is how to use appearance to confuse or even deceive others in order to get what he desires, such as wealth.

It wasn't until much later that Blaise realized that the path he spurned as a child was the surest way.Maybe it's unethical, but it works.

At this time, however, he was doing his best to prevent the marriage of "Mrs. Zabini" and "Mr. Zabini".

Screaming "I disagree" is not Brace's style.The way he expresses his protest is simple-cold war, hunger strike.

"He refuses to eat?" The first time the nanny reported to Edwina, she only smiled slightly, "Then be hungry."

……

"It's still the same?" She raised her eyebrows the second time, "It's okay, then you don't have to prepare his dinner, so as not to waste food."

……

"That's it...he's been on a hunger strike for less than a day." A few hours later, after hearing that Blaise was so hungry that he ate toothpaste, Edwin nodded, "I'll go talk to him."

This will be the last night the mother and son spend alone.Tomorrow is the wedding day, and all their luggage has been packed, and they will be sent to Zabini Manor after the ceremony.

Stepping there again with another identity after so many years, Edwin was not uneasy.Compared with her seemingly calm but ups and downs, Blaise's heart only has many negative emotions: anger, humiliation and grievance.

"Is it interesting?" When Edwin pulled into the room, he was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling, "You can't change anything."

"Why him?"

"Why can't it be him?"

Blaise jumped up from the bed suddenly: "Do you know what others will say?"

"Why do you care so much about other people's opinions?" Edwin looked at him condescendingly, "They have already started to spread rumors. They said that I and Ethan had been in love for a long time; they said that he murdered his wife for me; they Saying that Joaquin's death was his fault; they say he even managed to kill your father... oh, and of course, there's a part that believes your father was killed by me, because I've already moved on— "

"Stop it!" Blaise cut her off, trembling all over. "Are you my mother? How could you—how could you do this to me!"

"I'm just telling you what other people have said about this," Edwinra said. "You don't have to feel wronged or upset. My life intersects with yours, but it's separate. I'm not that The kind of mother who would totally sacrifice herself for the sake of her children, I've been the center of attention since many years ago and people won't stop chasing me until I get tired of quitting. Blaise, hate us if you want Let’s cut off the blood relationship between them. It’s not your fault, let alone mine.”

"Okay." He calmed down surprisingly quickly. Although his body was still shaking from the emotional turmoil just now, his tone was under control, "It's up to you. But one thing: I won't be at your wedding .”

"It doesn't matter."

"Please also ask him to stay away from me after you get married."

"can."

"Actually, it's not too difficult to endure your marriage." Blaise looked up at her and smiled, "Anyway, I'll be going to Hogwarts next fall, and then we won't have to force ourselves to spend time with each other."

"You're right." Edwin nodded, "I will raise you until you reach adulthood, and after that you can publish in the newspaper and disassociate yourself from me."

Blaise fell silent suddenly.

"You might as well start thinking about how to survive in Hogwarts now. What I can tell you is that your classmates will gossip more than those you meet at the banquet." She gave him a light look, " If you can't bear their babbling, I'm worried that you will jump into the lake and kill yourself on the second day of school."

Brace's absence did not hinder the normal progress of the wedding.

The moment he re-entered the Zabini Manor, Edwina had already hidden all his previous thoughts.She methodically ordered the servants to put the luggage back, and then she sat down, enjoyed the tea served by the house elf, and began to look at the mansion that had been absent for many years.

The decoration here is different from what she remembered.Apparently, even though their marriage was a dead letter, Lopez still left quite a mark here.Edwinra didn't dislike her taste, and she didn't bother to redecorate drastically.

"Is the Palace of Mirrors still there?" she asked, calling the house-elf.Unlike humans, this servant of the Zabini family easily accepted the fact that the former mistress had "come back": "Yes."

"Has anyone used it over the years?"

"No."

Think about it too.It is estimated that Lopez will have some shocks when using it.

"If Ethan asks, tell him I'm upstairs packing."

Without disturbing anyone, she walked alone through the familiar corridor to the sealed door of the Palace of Mirrors.

This ballroom cost a lot of money but has not been used a few times.In the beginning, based on the principle that what is rare is the most valuable, Edwinla only planned to hold banquets in the Palace of Mirrors on a few important days every year.However, Voldemort's rise was too rapid, and she soon stopped even holding banquets, let alone the extravagant ostentation of the Palace of Mirrors.

After hesitating and hesitating, she finally pushed the door open.

The Palace of Mirrors, which had been dusty for many years, reappeared in front of her in an instant. At this time, the sun was setting and the astrology disk was projected on the ground, interlacing with the world map spliced ​​with mosaic glass above her head to form an upside-down scene... This scene is the same as ten years ago It's exactly the same, except that it's bleak here now.The candles on the crystal chandelier have long since turned ashes, the pillars of the porch have never been entangled with roses and lilies, and there are no waiters in costumes or guests talking and laughing here.

But things are right and wrong.

"What are you thinking?"

"I thought it was going to be torn down."

Ethan leaned on the door frame, looking thoughtfully at the empty mirror palace: "There are a lot of memories here, aren't there?"

She did not speak.

"You can continue to hold banquets here." He said, "Until now, I have often heard people praise the Palace of Mirrors..."

"No need." Edwina interrupted him, she smiled, "Let the past pass, there is nothing wrong with keeping a memory."

"You think so?"

Edwin pulled back his gaze: "I don't like to add trouble to myself."

After speaking, she left first.Ethan watched her go away, and then he turned his head and took another deep look at Jinggong—it turned out that ten years had passed before he knew it.
