【HP】Elvira’s Unicorn Garden

As for the sunflowers that Mrs. Arison gave to Elvira, Elvira only had one bunch left.

She gave a bouquet to her Slytherin friends, friends from other houses, her sisters, her brother Riddle, and Albus whom she met in the Great Hall, Professor Slughorn...

Although the second sister Winston is now in the fourth year of Slytherin, she spends very little time in Hogwarts and spends most of her time studying her own things.

In other words, Winston Grindelwald would only return to Hogwarts very rarely, and most of the time he would just put his name in his own college to prove that he was still a student in Slytherin.

After delivering the sunflowers, Elvira and Abraxas did not stay in the auditorium for too long. Neither Elvira nor Abraxas had any plans to stay for dinner, and both went to the second floor of the castle.

As one of the Slytherin prefects, Alice and Tom were also responsible for patrolling the castle corridors. Naturally, their meal time was earlier than other students. When Elvira arrived at the hall, she ran into her elder sister and her 'brother' Tom who were about to patrol the corridors.

There were just two flowers left, one for Alice and one for Riddle. In the end, Elvira had no flowers left.

"Don't forget to eat dinner, my little unicorn. Where's your potion? Have you drunk it?" Alice couldn't help but stepped forward to touch her head and rub her face when she saw her little sister holding a few bunches of sunflowers. "If you have anything, you must tell your sister, understand."

Even though she had just had some friction with her partner not long ago, her anger subsided a lot after seeing her sister.

In other words, family members will always be more important to Grindelwald than his partner, especially when there are conflicts of interests and ideas.

"I know..." Elvira smiled and narrowed her eyes. The girl's face was rosy, and her eyes were curved like crescent moons. When she hugged her sister, she couldn't help rubbing against her sister's arms again.

This is also a habit of Elvira when she is acting coquettishly with her family. When she is acting coquettishly with the family she depends on, she can always let down all her defenses, because they are the family she can rely on wholeheartedly.

After the hug, Elvira let go of her sister, and the silver snake-shaped pendant on her neck swayed slightly with her movement. This unintentional action happened to fall into the eyes of Tom Riddle, who was a few steps away from Alice.

That was his Easter present to the little guy.

A talisman.

"I came back to bring you a gift." Riddle concealed the emotions in his eyes and stretched out his hand to rub Elvira's head a few times. When he looked up again, he was still the elegant 'Tom Riddle' who attracted countless girls' admiration.

It was inevitable that sisters would talk to each other when they met, which took some time, but it was nothing more than the worries of the older sister and brother.

Riddle was walking in front but he deliberately slowed down his pace to wait for Alice. Alice also knew that she had delayed some time, so she straightened Elvira's messy hair before following.

Or maybe, it's just that the two of them are doing the same thing at this moment.

Contrary to usual practice, several pure-blood teenagers at the Slytherin table did not participate in any conversation at the table. They just silently cut and chewed the food with their knives.

Some people came forward to talk, but received only a few responses.

"What happened to them?" Someone approached his companions and whispered. That person and the other boys were also second-year Slytherins. "That Greengrass seems to be... not here either."

Even though the voice was deliberately controlled, in such a silent atmosphere these words were still clearly heard by those who paid attention.

Yes, Malfoy and little Grindelwald.

For the pure-bloods, dining at the long table was a rare social setting, and it was rare for them to see Malfoy and little Grindelwald absent.

Is it because of that contradiction?

still is……

In fact, everyone at the long table had their own guesses in mind, and those who were curious about this matter lowered their heads to eat tacitly. Even if it was true as they guessed, there was still a Malfoy guarding little Grindelwald.

There shouldn't be any problem.

perhaps.

"I have something to do. Please enjoy your meal." The young man with black curly hair took out the white satin handkerchief he carried with him, wiped the unnecessary stain on the corner of his mouth, and put it back into his robe pocket. He picked up the sunflower on the table, stood up and left the table.

That is the direction of the second floor of the castle.

But what was Rudolph doing on the second floor of the castle?

Rudolph's departure attracted the attention of Edgar and Orian. Orian watched his companion leave as if he wanted to see something from his back.

But in the end, nothing was achieved.

So he shifted his gaze to Edgar beside him, trying to see some reaction from him.

"I suddenly remembered that something fell in the classroom on the second floor." Nott slowly put down the knife in his hand, took the bouquet of sunflowers on the table and left the long table, still heading towards the second floor of the castle.

But today, the second years of Slytherin didn’t seem to have classes on the second floor of the castle. Could it be that they all happened to lose something on the second floor?

"It's possible that they happened at the same time by coincidence." Orion swallowed the food in his mouth and kindly answered the curious person, "But I still suggest that you stop when you have enough. Some things are not suitable for excessive fermentation."

He put down the cutlery in his hand, but he did not leave immediately. The lady from the McMillan family and the lady from the Shacklebolt family were sitting next to each other, and the two ladies would occasionally get together to talk about something.

"What's wrong with you today? Did you have a conflict?" A Slytherin boy opposite couldn't help but ask him. After all, looking at the current situation, it seems that the only one who can satisfy their curiosity is Black in front of them.

Only Blake looked normal.

"Orion, you and Abraxas are becoming more and more alike." Someone else said. In fact, the original words should be - Black's style is becoming more and more like Malfoy, but this is not surprising. Compared to them, Black and a few others are allies of the same circle as Malfoy.

Even little Grindelwald was gradually assimilated into a 'Slytherin'.

"Selwyn, I should thank you for the compliment." He responded to the latter's words with a fake smile but also avoided the conversation in the previous sentence, "We are companions, Adrupes."

Adrupes Parkinson had expected Orian Black's avoidance, and he responded with a fake smile, not denying what the man in front of him said.

This means that I am not going to give a direct response.

But what happened will not be forgotten so easily.

"Are you going to look for them? Abraxas and Elvira were absent from the dinner." Adrupes curled his lips slightly, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, a smile that was not genuine. "Orion, do you know why Rudolph and the others went to the second floor?"

But in Slytherin, no one minded that.

"Elvira and Abraxas are stuck with something. I appreciate your concern for my friends." Orion took a sip of pumpkin juice from the goblet. If it weren't for etiquette, he would have frowned and put down the overly sweet pumpkin juice. "Adrupes, you can ask them the reason yourself if you are curious."

Orion responded to Parkinson's question in good faith.

The distance was quite far, so Orion couldn't hear clearly and wasn't curious about what the two ladies were talking about. He just wanted to know how the lady from the McMillan family reacted to the death of her fiancé.

But the other party didn't seem to care, just like Nott's reaction.

Orion suddenly thought of Greengrass and Shafik. These two people were just like Nott and McMillan. No, the former was even earlier than the latter.

The marriage between the two pure-blood families tied Edgar Nott and Aurella MacMillan together. There was a family engagement between the two, but it seemed that once this engagement was removed, the two would return to being strangers.

It's really strange. The marriage contract tied the descendants of two pure-blood families together, but they did not get closer to each other because of the marriage contract. There was no emotional foundation between them. Everything they did was just to comply with the family's wishes.

But once you are out of the family's sight, you are just a stranger.

If you think about it carefully, this is normal. On the other hand, there is an emotional foundation between Letoria and the lady of Shafik's family, but once they are engaged, they are always fulfilling their engagement obligations.

Everything was clearly going in the right direction, but everything that happened was shouting that it was all wrong, all of it.

Yes, Letoria had been suppressed by these engagement obligations and family obligations for too long, and these factors had led to the intensification of the conflict between him and Shafik, and thus also led to the conflict between Letoria and him.

After calming down, everything seemed to make sense.

Orion picked up the two bouquets of sunflowers on the table and left the long table, but he did not go to the second floor like his two companions. He went to the dungeon where the Slytherin lounge was located.

Two bouquets of sunflowers, one was his, and the other... was given by Avira to him to give to Letoria.

At first he didn't understand why Elvira gave him the portion that belonged to Letoria, even though Elvira and Abraxas had just come out of the lounge.

Obviously, Elvira could have given the flowers directly to Letoria before coming out.

Too many things happened today, and the accumulation of emotions led to his willfulness and resentment. These things overturned his rationality and almost led to a big mistake, whether from the perspective of his family or his companions.

If it weren't for Elvira's timely appearance.

Perhaps Elvira wanted to remind him at that time, but dissatisfaction and resentment had already taken over everything in him. At that time, he only cared about Letoria's sudden humiliation and the fact that Greengrass humiliated a Black.

Orion's departure did not change the atmosphere at the long table. The Slytherin table remained in its old state. The atmosphere of a college table would never change because of the arrival or departure of a few people.
