[HP] Walk in Thorns and Flowers

Chris nodded more, okay, whatever Dad says is what.Mr. McMillan stepped on the accelerator with satisfaction, and began to operate the steering wheel very skillfully with both hands.Christo looked at him curiously from behind, which was much smoother than the Knight Bus.

They pass through the bustling suburbs of London, dazzling lights that look like frozen fireworks.Mrs. McMillan had been asking about Christophe's school (her letters home were always short), and she was surprised to learn from Ernie that her little girl was Harry's first friend. She opened her mouth: "Merlin, my little Kelly," she paused, and said with some concern, "Kerry, you'd better keep a little distance from him, that person hasn't really died yet, we all know Yeah, if, I mean if, that guy came back—"

"Pace, you shouldn't have said that." Mr. McMillan pressed the round button, and their car flew up invisibly as they crossed a dark narrow road, and he was able to turn his head leisurely and look at the Christo said, "Kerry knows how to do it, right. Friends are obviously not delicious suppers. Eat when you're hungry and throw away when you're full."

"Chloe, I'm just worried—" Mrs. McMillan said eagerly.

"Mom, if Potter bullies my sister, I won't let it go!"

"Harry won't bully me!" Christo felt wronged for her friend, but when she met Mrs. McMillan's worried eyes aggressively, she couldn't help being discouraged, "I see, Mom, but, It’s not easy for a mysterious person to be resurrected like that. I heard Gilderoy say that he was seriously injured. And, even if he comes back—I will stand by Harry’s side and never allow anyone to die !"

Mrs. McMillan gripped her wrist so hard that Christo almost cried out. "Mom, what's wrong with you?" She bit her lip and asked carefully.Mrs. McMillan just looked at her for a long time, reached out and stroked her long hair gently.

When the McMillan family returned to the manor, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Christo jumped out of the car, and the soft snow immediately collapsed, and there was heavy snow in the sky. .There were two pairs of ice lanterns hanging on the door of the manor, and the silver-white lights spread out layer by layer like mist, illuminating the white snow on the door and the body of the door that was outside.

"It's so beautiful." Christo looked at the ice lantern and sighed, and she walked in.

"Welcome back, master." A house-elf stood respectfully by the door. Her head was covered with a tea-green woolen teapot cover, her big ears were erected energetically, and a pair of clean and tidy goose-yellow hair Her thin body was wrapped in a towel, and she didn't seem to be afraid of the cold at all, and she didn't tremble when stepping on the snow with her bare feet.Suddenly, her startlingly big eyes widened even further, and she screamed: "Miss Keli! It's Mistress Keli! Momo thought she would never see Master Keli again!" She rushed to Christo, and stretched out her hands respectfully: "Miss Keli, is there anything that Momo needs to bring to the bedroom?"

Christo looked at Mr. McMillan in surprise. According to common sense, shouldn't the house elves ask Dad first?

Mr. McMillan stretched out his hand to wipe off the snowflakes on his daughter's head, and he blinked at her. Momo had already rolled her big eyes and nimbly grabbed the amber hanging in the low sky. "Master Keli, Momo will take good care of your owl." She bowed deeply before rushing up to take Ernie's luggage.

Ernie shook his head straight: "I didn't expect that you would be the first in Momo's heart when you were away for three years, Keli."

Mrs. McMillan patted him: "Okay, good boy, you and your father didn't instigate it. Well, the most important thing in the family is Kelly?"

"Mom, can you also have a share?" Ernie retorted immediately.

Christo suddenly remembered what Ernie said in the corridor of Slytherin - Christo was the little princess of the McMillan family, and she had fully understood it at this moment.

They all love her.But she didn't remember anything, how beautiful and warm those loves were.She wasn't even used to Mrs. McMillan's goodnight kiss before going to bed—she still couldn't easily integrate herself into the family.In the early morning of the second day, Christo woke up from her sleep and sat in front of her vanity mirror. Her long golden hair was scattered on her shoulders like a waterfall. Momo stood on the stool to comb her hair. She habitually Close your eyes and enjoy the fine teeth of the ivory comb gently stroking your scalp like you did before you were eight years old.However, she stood up suddenly and tied her long hair by herself.

"Little Master Keli..." Momo looked at her pitifully.Christo patted her on the head and smiled gently: "Does it look good?"

"It's beautiful! Little Master Keli is the most beautiful!" Momo nodded vigorously, wishing to shake the teapot cover off her head.Christo involuntarily pursed the line of her lips into a hooked hook.Now that you can't remember the past, let's grasp the present. "Momo, can you take me around the manor?"

"Of course, my little master." Momo happily opened the door of the living room for Christo, and walked lightly on the carpet.Christo opened her eyes wide and looked around, she could feel how quiet the manor was—it opened its sleeping face without any defense, showing its delicacy and beauty to her.Climbing up the stairs, passing the piano room, the clear and shallow music overflowed with the ups and downs of the keys, and Christo stood at the door in a daze.

"The master used to play the piano early in the morning, but—" Momo suddenly slammed into the wall violently, "Momo is a bad elf! Momo is a bad elf!"

Christo quickly grabbed her, and she felt the white snow on the pine branches outside the window slippery.

"what happened?"

"Momo didn't protect the little master Keli well, Momo hurt the master, master..." She suddenly covered her mouth, "No, I don't care about the little master, it's because Momo was careless, and Momo caused trouble for the master gone."

"What's going on?" Christo put his arms around Momo's small body to prevent her from hitting the wall again suddenly.She looked nervously at the sobbing elf, could it be her father's hand, she thought of that prosthetic limb again, and felt that her heart was stuffed into the needle tube, making it uncomfortable.

"Momo... Momo thought, Momo thought she could drink butter beer, but—no, Momo couldn't deceive the little master, but—" She writhed desperately under Christo's shackles, and suddenly , she calmed down, opened her big innocent eyes and said, "Master Keli, why are you hugging Momo?"

Chris was stunned for a moment, she let go, and looked suspiciously at the elf in front of her.

"Master Keli, let's continue watching, otherwise, the master will have breakfast after waking up." Momo said calmly.

They went to the study room, to the painting room, to the greenhouse outside the house, Xiaofenglin, but Momo never lost control again.When Christo appeared on the top floor of the attic, almost all the portraits were awakened. McMillan's ancestors opened their eyes and cast their gazes on the little girl who entered the room.

"Christopher?" A lady called her name softly.

"Hello." Christo saluted suspiciously. Although she no longer remembered who they were, it was not difficult to guess their identities from their golden hair and gentle temperament.

Several ladies covered their faces with handkerchiefs and sobbed softly, and some old people looked at her quietly, with a strange light shining in their deep and wise eyes.After a long time, the old man who was hung in the middle said in a low voice: "Go back, child, Chloe is waiting for you."

In the end, Christo also failed to know the cause of her father's prosthetic leg. She didn't open her mouth, nor was she told that all the days of living in McMillan Manor, she was wrapped tightly in warmth. It was so warm that she Uneasy.The only thing she was forbidden was refining potions.When she searched the entire manor and found that there was not a single cauldron, she asked Amber to take a small part of her tools from Hogwarts. She will always remember her mother's expression at that time - panicked, more than the first time She was exaggerating when she woke up in the school hospital!Ernie rushed in, tied everything back to Amber's claws, and quickly threw it out the window.

Christo couldn't recover, and Ernie said helplessly: "When you were young, you once made trouble when your father was making potions, and a big piece of skin was burned off in the end. Mom was terrified!" She was dubious. , but everyone in the manor told her so, including the portraits in the attic.

"You frightened your mother!"

"I just thought Pais was a soft, soft-tempered lady—I'm not saying she isn't now, but she was—"

"She made a big fuss and destroyed Chloe's cauldron."

"The old antiques in the McMillan estate were not spared."

"She almost didn't allow Ernie to have Potions - poor kid."

"However, she has always been a good mother."

Of course Christo knew that she was a good mother, she loved her, and she wanted to keep all dangers away from her, including poor Harry.
