[HP] If youth has an ageless face

"I think he's weird." After leaving Lihen Bookstore, Edwin La still couldn't forget Lockhart's weird reaction, "Why did he—"

"Shh!" Uriah suddenly squeezed her hand hard, and then walked forward nonchalantly, "Why did you come to Diagon Alley today, Mr. Dupont?"

This Mr. Dupont was well-dressed but unattractive, one of those people who could not be found in a crowd.But if Edwin pulls my memory right, he should be the current main sponsor of the Three Lions in England, in other words, he is Ulea's boss.

"I'm here to discuss a business with Mr. Zabini." To Edwina's great satisfaction, Mr. DuPont and Uriah spoke in a friendly tone, and no accident should be a very easy-to-get-together boss.However, she was also embarrassed to find that Darren Zabini was coming out of the Quidditch boutique.

"This must be Mr. Zabini, we haven't had the chance to meet formally yet." Uriah knew nothing about the inside story between them, he introduced himself with a smile on his face, "I am Uriah Day Weiss, currently the team's back-up Chaser."

"I remember you." Darren looked at Uriah and said, "You used to be the captain of Hufflepuff, right?"

Uriah's expression became subtle.Edwina felt sorry for his embarrassing situation. She believed that Darren must have seen her long ago, not to mention the surname "Davis" as a reminder.Edwina suspected that he was trying to embarrass Uriah on purpose, but before she could intervene, Mr. DuPont explained: "Mr. Zabini is still at Hogwarts, he is a few years younger than you. "

"Then are you a fan of Uriah, Mr. Zabini?" Edwina asked provocatively, "Otherwise, how did you recognize Uriah at a glance?"

Darren was not aroused by her at all, but Uriah stepped on her hard, and Mr. Dupont beside him opened his eyes in surprise: "You are—"

"She is my sister. Please don't argue with her, Mr. Zabini, she has been spoiled since she was a child, and she is not sensible at all." Uriah said, glancing at her secretly.Edwin curled his lips: She is not the spoiled child in the family!

"Ah..." Mr. DuPont suddenly realized, "Then you should be classmates at Hogwarts now?"

Edwin glanced at Darren sideways, deliberately changed his tone of teasing, and stabbed with a stick: "I think people like Mr. Zabini should spend most of their time hiding in the tower to read books, right? He Certainly not paying attention to us people who live under the lake."

These words are really a bit too much.If it wasn't for the presence of the boss, Uriah would have definitely taught her a lesson on the spot.But Darren smiled as if it had nothing to do with him: "I've heard of Miss Davis, but I really saw her today."

This sentence is much more powerful than hers.Edwinla never knew that Darren had such an eloquence, and when she met Uriah's suspicious gaze, she could only smile guiltily, and secretly waved her hand to express that she would never cause trouble again.

It was about Uriah's future, so Edwina decided to keep his mouth shut for the time being.And Uriah persuaded DuPont and Darren to go to the Leaky Cauldron with them for a drink in a few words. Edwinra didn't want to hear their boring Quidditch news, and of course, she didn't want to sit around like a fool. Over there facing Darren.So, when they passed Florin's ice cream shop, Edwin pulled out his hand to Ulea in time: "Give me five Galleons, and I'll go buy ice cream."

Today's Uriah was very talkative, he only let Edwinla go by saying "wait for me to find you" in a hurry, and besides, he generously rewarded her with ten Galleons.This kind of luxurious treatment is the first time since the Davis family suffered an accident!

Edwin La bought a double scoop of ice cream and sat under an umbrella enjoying life, taking the opportunity to eye the people passing by.It is not yet the day when Hogwarts students visit Diagon Alley intensively, and most of the people who come and go on the road are people who come out to do business.Edwina was a little curious about the relationship between Darren and Mr. DuPont, but after eating half an ice cream ball, she suddenly began to worry about whether she would get Uriah into trouble just now.

Now Edwin could not sit still.Originally, meeting the sponsor in private should be an excellent opportunity for Uriah to show herself well-not to mention that they just paid off their debts not long ago, which means Uriah no longer has to be kept hidden, and maybe he won't have to do it again soon. As a substitute player, you can even transfer to another Quidditch team-but if Mr. Dupont is unhappy, maybe the day when Uriah becomes a full-time player will be in the foreseeable future...

"Miss Davis?"

In a blink of an eye, Slughorn appeared before her eyes.

"Professor!" Edwina quickly stood up from her chair. She was never Slughorn's favorite student, but she was never shy about making friends with him. "What are you doing here today? By the way , I think this sky blue suits you better than the cobalt blue last time."

"Thank you, Miss Davis. I'm bringing a student to do some shopping." Slughorn waved his hand impatiently, and Edwin glanced at the trembling girl next to him, and it seemed to be their college A junior student in the school said, "It's you instead, why did you start shopping for school supplies so early?"

"My brother happens to be free today." Edwin said tactfully, "Well, he went to the Leaky Cauldron with his boss, and I'm waiting for him here."

Sure enough, Slughorn's eyes lit up: "I knew Uriah was definitely not the kind of person who was buried. He is now..."

"England Three Lions, professor." Edwin pulls his anger deliberately, "It's a pity that you may not be able to see him today. They have been talking for a long time, and I don't know when they will finish."

"Oh...well..." Slughorn looked disappointed. "It's a pity I have to take the student to buy books, otherwise I'd love to stay and meet their sponsors. You know , I am very familiar with many teams, maybe I know him... All in all, see you at the beginning of school, Miss Davis."

"See you later, Professor." Edwin watched the girl chasing Slughorn's back, feeling a little sympathetic.

"I think my previous perception of you was a little biased."

"Hey!" Edwina was taken aback, "Can you stop talking behind other people's backs!"

It was Darren who came.To be honest, Edwin La was not surprised by this at all.

"You are also excusable."

"How can I be excused?" Edwina asked back, Darren frowned, as if he was still thinking about some profound question, she suddenly understood, "You want to talk about me and Rookwood , right?" She seemed to feel a little embarrassed when she said it so bluntly, Edwin snorted, "These things...everyone takes what they need. No one forced me to do that, and I Not a nice guy either."

"No, you...you are forced by life. Well, anyway, you are not what the rumors say..." Darren's face slowly turned red, "but I don't understand..."

"Don't understand what?"

Darren looked troubled: "Why are you still hanging out with Rookwood after they had a falling out? I mean, someone else."

Edwin was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized: "Other Slytherin boys? Like Nott and his like?"

Darren nodded.

Edwina smiled suddenly: "I want to see if they are willing to spend money for me—just like Rookwood did in the past. I like gold, silver and jewelry, that's all."

"You don't like them?"

"Of course not!"

A trace of unreasonable anger flashed across Darren's face: "Then you still..." He suddenly stopped talking and paused for a moment, "I heard about your brother's unfair treatment in the team, I think maybe I can--"

"Time will tell which position Uriah deserves." Edwina was puzzled by the quick change of subject, and she interrupted him, "But please don't worry about what I said earlier, Mr. Zabini .”

Darren was taken aback.

"It's better for us not to owe each other, what do you think?" Edwinla had already seen Uriah in the distance, and she felt obliged to remind Darren, "We are not the same kind of people, You know that too." Darren waved her hand before she could continue speaking, "My brother is coming, if he sees me talking to you, he will definitely ask. See you later, Zabini gentlemen."

As expected, Uriah pressed the question.

"What were you talking to Zabini just now?"

"Just now, Slughorn brought a student here to buy things, and we just happened to meet." Uriah said with a relaxed face, and Edwina felt that they should have a good conversation, "So, what is between Dupont and Zabini?" relation?"

"Oh...DuPont and Zabini the elder—that is, today's father—are partners. After the death of Zabini the two still maintain cooperation, but now it is mostly Zabini's side. money, and DuPont is responsible for the investment."

"In other words, your real boss is actually Zabini?"

She was really just asking casually, but Uriah stopped abruptly and looked at her very seriously: "Edwinla, remember: only once is enough for Rookwood."

Edwina looked at him in astonishment: "I didn't mean that, I just asked casually."

Ulea stared at her blankly for a while, then looked away, and commented disorganized: "You look beautiful, but this may not be a good thing."
