[HP] If youth has an ageless face

Edwinra is my honey, my poison/drug; my sin, my soul.She is an angel and a devil; she is an innocent lamb and the bride of Satan.

Edwin pulls in four steps: touch the tip of the tongue to the lower jaw once, flick it once, bite the lip once, and then touch the upper jaw.Ai-de-wen-la.

In the summer when he was 19 years old, Haydn was entrusted by his mother to visit his aunt's family in England.He had just graduated from Durmstrang at the time and was hoping to find a job in the UK to avoid accepting the future planned by his father.

There was no response to the submitted resumes. Disappointed, Haydn took the initiative to go to Liverpool to pick up a visitor from Davis's house.He said he was a visitor, but he had already understood from the several disputes between the Davises that this person was not a guest, but a "living creature" to cover part of the debt.This "living creature" also has a very embarrassing identity: her father is the illegitimate half-brother of Mr. Davis, who stole two hundred Galleons and fled to South America. Simply send a child over.

This is so embarrassing.Haydn suspected that this move was to lighten the family's financial burden and plant a foreshadowing for the family's success—apparently, his uncle thought so too.He was not at all happy to accept the free niece, and the aunt expressed her sympathy that she would adopt the poor child.After several rounds of quarreling, my uncle gave in angrily, and decided to see what kind of child this was before talking.

These chores affected the atmosphere in Davis' home, and also made Haydn's two biological cousins ​​at a loss.Aside from being disgusted, Haydn secretly made up his mind that he would never show the child any kindness.

In his imagination, the girl who traveled from a small Brazilian fishing village must be dark and thin, and she might have a fishy smell of sea water all over her body.Considering their family situation, Haydn was certain that she would either be a fool.Or full of calculations... But, she should speak English, right?

But he didn't expect that it would be a very beautiful girl who was led out from the cabin by the captain.Although she looked thin and timid, Haydn took a light breath when she was brought in front of him and raised her head.

Heard that her father held her back for thirty Galleons, so it seems that he is not a wise man.

Haydn withdrew his gaze, counted the money and stretched out his hand to grab her.Maybe it was because of his bad expression, or maybe it was because of her natural shyness, the girl flinched, and the tears that had been pent up in her eyes for a long time finally flowed down.

Haydn withdrew her hand like an electric shock, the captain hurriedly told her not to cry in a low voice, fearing to offend him.

Turns out this wasn't the first nor the last time she cried in front of him.During the journey back to Davis Manor from Liverpool, she fell asleep leaning against the carriage box, only to fall to the ground with a thump when taking a sharp turn.She wailed in pain, then quickly tuned in, and crawled back to her seat obediently.Haydn looked at her expressionlessly, under his cold eyes she curled up into a small ball, put her head on her knees, and looked at him timidly, seeing that he didn't say anything to comfort her, she sobbed again He got up and lowered his voice very low, as if he was afraid of offending him.

play!You go on!

Haydn turned his head and looked out of the window in annoyance, and beside his ears was the sound of whimpering and lingering sobs for three days.

After a day of observation, Haydn came to the conclusion that she was as inefficient as her father.

It's okay for her aunt to be kind to her, and Constance doesn't seem to reject her, and Uriah even kindly invites her to play broomsticks with them.Although my uncle didn't say it clearly, her adoption should have been settled.

Broomsticks?OK!

Haydn immediately had an idea.

It is not a gentleman's work to make a clean and pretty girl dirty and whimpering.When she stood in front of him pitifully and timidly, Haydn softened for a moment.However, he preferred to play a villain role, so he lowered his voice and demanded viciously: "Be an obedient and good girl—is that what your father told you?"

She nodded with red eyes, and then whispered infinitely wronged: "I hate you."

If you hate it, you hate it.Haydn even smiled happily.Talk like you have something to do with me.

After that, Haydn didn't take the initiative to appear in front of Edwinla again.Occasionally he would see her playing with Uriah from his bedroom window, or hear Constance talking about her with her aunt.On the surface, she seems to have won everyone's heart but his, but thinking about it...

Forget it, what does it matter to him.She doesn't live in his house, maybe he will never see her again in this life, why bother about the Davis family.Besides, everyone said they hate him, right?Haydn lay uninterested on the bed, with a letter from his father on the bedside table asking him to return to Germany before the end of August.

What are you going back for?

marry.

Haydn's father devoted his life to maintaining the Schwarz family's influence in Germany.After hearing that Haydn had received an olive branch from the sports association, he immediately recalled his son to Germany and personally chose a wife for him.The other party's appearance, personality and intelligence are not particularly outstanding, but her father is the director of the Sports Department of the German Ministry of Magic.

Haydn didn't express any objection, he met the lady a few times according to his father's wishes, and then proposed.

Her name is Claudia, and she is not an easy character to deal with at first sight.However, Haydn and her get along quite harmoniously. Apart from being keen on fashion, jewelry and various parties, Claudia is also very good at making all kinds of friends.At a cocktail party, she introduced someone to Haydn.

"His name is Rookwood." Claudia deliberately pulled him aside, as if she was afraid that others would hear their conversation, "he works for... the Dark Lord."

At this time, Haydn was trying his best to fight for a chance of promotion, and when he heard the word "Dark Lord", he immediately refused.But Claudia stubbornly told him to listen to her: "He's looking for someone who can help him buy some rare raw materials in Europe." She said eagerly, "You should talk to him."

"I can't deal with a Death Eater."

"But the Dark Lord will come to Europe sooner or later! And... he promised a huge reward." Seeing that he still wanted to refuse, Claudia tried her best to force him to meet Rookwood. , "Talk to him, Haydn, just for five minutes."

This conversation lasted for nearly two hours.

Later, under Claudia's strong instigation and Rookwood's rhetoric, Haydn half-heartedly agreed to his request, and tried smuggling for the first time a week later.

If Haydn could have predicted the cause of his death when he handed the box of African tree snake skin to Lukewood, then he would rather eat the box of snake skin than send it to Lukewood.

Trading with the Death Eaters at the height of the Dark Lord's power was like opening a Pandora's box.After having tasted the sweetness, he naturally longed for more, and he got deeper and deeper, and it was difficult to get out.

This ill-gotten wealth and his ascension within the Athletic Association had another effect.

"I'm in love with someone else." Claudia told him firmly, "Let's get a divorce."

Haydn didn't get married because of love in the first place, and the sharp decrease in the time they spend together in recent years has weakened the already weak relationship. Considering that he no longer needs the power of others to seek a high position, he happily agreed on the divorce agreement. Signed, and asked casually: "Who is he?"

"Don't ask." Claudia said with resentment in her eyes, "Why can't you spend more time with me? Are money and power so important?"

"Is this still my fault?" Haydn was astonished and couldn't help laughing, "Aren't you the one who introduced Rookwood to me?"

Claudia smiled coldly and left him the last sentence: "You really don't understand women."

Haydn met his second wife, Charlotte, at a banquet.

Unlike Claudia, Charlotte is a quiet and shy girl.She is not a butterfly flying around in the social field, nor does she build a complex network of people with exquisite means.

Haydn couldn't help but look sideways at her, and soon found out unwillingly that the reason she attracted him was that she highly overlapped with someone in his memory.He hadn't heard about "someone" for many years, and naturally he didn't know if she still looked timid.

The gaze he cast on Charlotte has changed in the eyes of others, and has become a sharp weapon that can be used to suppress him.Soon, one of his superiors formally introduced Charlotte to him and praised her for her tenderness and beauty.

Haydn didn't care about that.He hasn't reached the point where he can cover the sky with one hand. For a person like him, marrying a wife is more about seeking the support of the family behind her, and qualities like gentleness are not even considered strengths.However, refusing the "good intentions" of the boss may bring more troubles, and Charlotte's family has at least one advantage: being rich.

After weighing the pros and cons, he still got engaged to her.It's just that from the very beginning, he lacked the most basic respect for this wife.

On the eve of the wedding, a letter from England disrupted his rhythm.

Uriah graciously invited him to England, first to get together, and second, to introduce him to a Quidditch team sponsor who intends to hire several players from Europe.

It was the Christmas holiday, so she should be at home, right?With a secret curiosity, Haydn embarked on this journey that changed his life.

As he expected, he saw Edwinla again at the banquet arranged by Uriah.She sat on Uriah's left, a few people away from him.Haydn paid attention to her every move and smile, not surprised by her frightening beauty, on the contrary, he discovered other secrets.

In the dim candlelight, every blink and every aimless smile of hers had a reason, and was meant for a specific person.

In all fairness, Charlotte is a nice girl.Except for the lack of strong family support, she is almost a perfect wife.

But Haydn hated her.Partly because of this semi-forced marriage, partly because of her temperament.

What first caught his eye turned into a tasteless chicken rib after he returned from England.Haydn realized that Edwinra had already transformed into another person, and all he had left in his mind were stupid stereotypes.At the same time, he suddenly had something else in his heart.Stronger than caring, softer than admiration.

He tentatively visited his boss, and before he could speak, the other party asked him how his wedding preparations were going with a smile, and hinted that in his next possible promotion, his opponent would be the old enemy of the Schwartz family in Germany.

So what else?

Haydn reluctantly held the wedding on time, but remained indifferent to Charlotte.She didn't know anything about what happened in England, but vaguely understood that Haydn probably didn't intend to marry her, so she became more and more cautious, but in Haydn's view, it was futile to walk on thin ice.

After such a delay of more than two years, he received a letter from Uriah.In addition to the happy news written in the text, he also "intimately" attached a photo of him and the newlyweds.

Haydn looked at it for a long time, and then threw the photo into the fireplace.

Later, he simply applied for a transfer to a position that required frequent business trips.Since then, he has been working in various European countries for eleven months a year, and the remaining Christmas holiday is busy with old friends, family members and colleagues.Little time was given to Charlotte, and gradually he stopped even opening her letters.

When the player named Matthew Wilson came to him in private, Haydn never dreamed that he came to ask him to participate in a conspiracy.

Wilson went straight to the point and said what he expected.Haydn exhaled lightly, and looked at him through the blue smoke: "Where did Zabini mess with you?"

"He didn't offend me." Wilson twitched his lips, "It's just that he married a wife who was too charming."

Wilson is a very bold person, and this kind of boldness often leads him to great achievements, and may also allow him to complete a perfect murder.Haydn slowly crushed out the cigarette.Contrary to Wilson, he is a nocturnal animal that hides in dense forests.Years of secret dealings with Death Eaters had taught him a lot, and killing people with a borrowed knife was one of them... Should he agree?

"What do you think?" Wilson asked.

Haydn was silent for a moment, recalling the smiles of the young couple in the photo.He didn't know if they were still as sweet as when they were newlyweds, and he didn't know if they felt the coldness of the blade.

"You go." In the end, he chose to refuse, "I will not make it difficult for an innocent person."

Wilson sighed: "Okay, then please keep today's conversation a secret, Mr. Schwartz." He gently placed a photo in front of Haydn, "Otherwise the wind will leak."

The photo was taken a few months ago, at the port where Haydn and the Death Eaters met.

Haydn sneered, it turned out that he underestimated the other party: "It seems that Zabini's fate is not long, is it?"
