[HP] Alchemy and Love

In fact, since the accident more than half a month ago, Remus has been avoiding Lorenthia.

The next morning after the accident, Remus came to the store.This was the first time Lorenthia saw him the day after the full moon, and was taken aback by his pale face, almost thinking that the anesthetic really had some side effects.Remus repeatedly apologized to her, and Lorenthia hurriedly made a self-examination.After the two quarreled and said a lot of sorry, Lorenthia urged Remus to go home and rest.She thought that this matter could end here.

Obviously things were not so simple with Remus.From that day on, Lorenthia noticed that Remus was avoiding her.He started asking for time off one after another, sometimes for Order business, sometimes for obvious excuses.When they got along, he stopped making eye contact with Lorenthia, and stopped joking with her casually.Lorenthia was confused and sad at the beginning, but when she couldn't get an answer even after asking James, Sirius and others, this feeling gradually turned into grievance, and finally by Anger derived from grievances.

"While it was indeed my fault - I shouldn't have dragged him to Newt's house without thinking, I shouldn't have forgotten about it afterward, and shooting him with a gun might have made him angry, but in the end it didn't lead to anything. What serious consequences, I have tried my best to apologize most sincerely, and he has accepted it! If he does not accept it, he should also propose what kind of apology or compensation he wants, and I will do it." She thought in her heart, " How can you not even give me a chance to apologize—not even let me know why he is angry with me?"

Feeling aggrieved and angry again, she simply ignored Remus.The two never quarreled at all, but subtly fell into the cold war period. Usually they could not speak a few words, and when they spoke, they were also polite. Their relationship almost returned overnight to when Remus first joined the company.During the next two Phoenix Society meetings, other people also noticed the change in the atmosphere between the two of them. Molly, who had always cared about her, deliberately pulled her aside and asked if she had quarreled with Remus.Lorencia was naturally not the one to complain behind her back, so she just said nothing to others.

In fact, it is not nothing.Half a month passed, and the initial anger gradually dissipated, and Lorenthia found herself in an awkward situation—she wanted to reconcile with Remus, but she didn't know how to do it.She thought she had done everything she could to show her kindness and apologize, but almost every conversation started with Remus trying to change the subject or run away altogether.She wrote to ask her two best friends, Kathy and Deanna, but Kathy would only encourage her to break up, and Deanna wrote nearly half of her sweet relationship with her boyfriend. Even more frustrated.

"Loren." Lily called her suddenly.Lorenthia quickly turned her gaze back to avoid being caught peeking at Remus: "What?"

"James and I aren't going home for Christmas, so we want to have a Christmas Eve party at home. Sirius and Regulus and Dearborn will be there. Are you coming too?"

Lorenthia hesitated.She didn't know Regulus or Dearborn very well, but being home alone on Christmas Eve sounded a bit miserable, so she nodded, "Okay."

"Okay! Then you'll be in charge of bringing the Christmas decorations." James immediately arranged with enthusiasm, "Sirius is in charge of drinks, and Dearborn is in charge of desserts. The password will be 'white curly hair', don't forget .”

"White curly hair?" Lorenthia asked curiously, "Why...?"

"Ah, there's an allusion to it." James smiled smugly, as if waiting for her to ask, "That Christmas in our third grade, Sirius stayed at school for Christmas, and Remus and I worked together to send us put a spell on his gift box - he didn't even notice it! so he walked around the school all day with Santa's white curly hair and wondered why people were staring at him .”

"That's an exaggeration, there's no whole day!" protested Sirius. "I found out about your prank at the breakfast table and just spent a little time figuring out how to get it back."

"He didn't change it back until after lunch, because Remus combined a long-lasting charm on it." James laughed. "That's the most successful prank we've ever played on Sirius, isn't it, Moon face?"

Remus laughed too.Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Lorenthia glanced at Remus again, suddenly feeling a sense of loss.

It suddenly occurred to her that this Christmas, maybe...she wouldn't receive a present from Remus.

"Merry Christmas, Loren!"

After saying "white curly hair", the door of James and Lily's house opened, and Lily enthusiastically invited Lorenthia in. "You came just in time, we still have some spare time after putting up the Christmas decorations-but remind you, don't count on the spare time too much, that time will always be used to clean up the mess James and Sirius made. What have you brought?"

"Nothing special, the ones that my store used to sell before Christmas - self-coloring, spelling, patterned fairy lights, etc..."

As Lorenthia spoke, she gathered around the sofa with James and Lily, and took out things from the handbag that had been cast with the Space Expansion Charm.The little lanterns she mentioned are completely different from those sold in Muggle shopping malls. These magical lanterns are shaped like walnut-sized balls, exuding bright and soft light, and it seems that the outline of the entity cannot be distinguished at all. It seems that there are only soft small light clusters floating in the air.When these light groups are put together, they will be automatically connected, and they can also be taken off one by one and put aside separately.

"Like a magnet in the Muggle world," Lorenthia explained.

While Lily was trying to explain to James how magnets work, she pulled out other things—vines that produced beautiful flowers to hang from table legs and chair backs; Snowflake's false wand and more.And then there are things that aren't for decoration, just for entertainment -- like a bag of candy, half of which is real candy and the other half is enchanted to sing Christmas carols automatically when the wrappers are peeled off, or the called "Don't eat me!"

"I don't think you should have brought these candies," Lily said to Lorenthia five minutes later.

"I'm already starting to regret it." Lorenthia sighed.Behind the two, Sirius and James used this big bag of candies to start a candy war. Candies of all colors flew all over the sky, accompanied by endless "Help!", "Catch me, catch me——" "I believe I canfly~" cry.Regulus was generally laughing while helping the two girls hang up decorations together, and would occasionally catch dropped candies to attack Sirius.

"Okay, we're done." In the chaos, Lily placed the last few colorful light balls on the corner of the window sill, and sighed, "Now as long as James and Sirius don't destroy anything—oh, Dilbur Here comes En."

The doorbell rang following Dearborn's password, and Lily stepped forward and opened the door: "Hi, Caradoc!"

Dearborn calmly reached over her shoulder and grabbed a flying peanut.Sugar screamed in his palm, "Merry Christmas!"

"James!" Lily turned her head and scolded angrily, "Stop messing around!"

"Isn't this timing just right?" Sirius said with a smile, raised his hand to catch a handful of candies flying towards him in his palm, and then threw it to James. A little whirlwind of candy, piled back on the table.

Lily rolled her eyes at the two of them helplessly before turning to Dearborn: "Please come in."

She let Dearborn in, turned and went after James and Sirius.Lorenthia turned to Regulus and lamented, "Why on earth would I bring this kind of thing where James and Sirius are?!"

Regulus snickered.

As it turned out, this was the most chaotic and lively Christmas that Lorenthia had ever had.

Sirius and James barely waited until everyone finished eating, and then continued the prank competition.This time it was the whole crowd that suffered—Dearborn's eyebrows were turned blond and his hair bright red; She nearly dropped them with a scream; and when Regulus got up to pour his drink and sit back down, James quietly let the vines on his chair grow thorns...

"Okay, James—I said, stop it!" Lily said angrily and with a smile, James was throwing a handful of candies at Regulus.Regulus waved his wand, and the candy was immediately blocked by an invisible barrier, splashing in all directions. A candy flew over and knocked over the cup in front of Lorenthia, and the pumpkin juice splashed all over her hands.

Lily next to her quickly pulled out her wand, cleaning up the pumpkin juice on her clothes in an instant.But the pumpkin juice on hand is inconvenient to deal with in this way - the cleansing spell directly acting on human skin will cause very uncomfortable feelings. "Let me take you to wash up." Lily stood up and took the initiative to lead the way. "I remember you haven't been to our bathroom yet? Go this way."

James and Lily's house was always neat and cozy, and the sink was no exception.Lorenthia turned on the tap, while Lily leaned on the door frame and watched her.

"I don't mean to upset you at Christmas, but we just can't stand it anymore," she said, smiling lightly, as if it was just a trivial problem, as if she didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all Sex, "Loren, how can you forgive Remus?"

The author has something to say: In fact, the update time of this article is set to [-] o'clock in the morning because it feels like it will be updated at this time. Whenever you open LJJ the next day, you can see it immediately. It is too early to say that there is no such thing. Have to wait; or wait for the update in advance at night...

However, I just found out that there were actually people waiting at two o'clock in the middle of the night.After all, staying up late is not good, right (however, the author who has not slept at this time said this is not convincing at all), so why don't we... change the time?

If anyone wants to update when, please leave a message, if there is no message, it will be updated directly at [-] o'clock in the future...
