[HP] A Brief History of Time

Before the Potions class was over, Professor Slughorn held up the crystal bottle Virginia had handed in, made an emotional compliment, and asked her to stay after class.

Virginia walked slowly to the podium, "What's the matter, Professor Slughorn?"

"Ah, Miss Crackenthorpe," said Professor Slughorn with a smile. He moved his fingers and found out the potion that Virginia just handed in—it was a set of powerful water of death. Squeeze the bottle cap to open it, gently sent it under his wriggling fleshy nose and sniffed, "Amazing talent, I noticed in class that you use your magic power in every stirring process, this Why?"

"It's an old magazine," Virginia said, staring at the white silk scarf tied outside the collar of his shirt on his chest. In the discussion of whether to use magic power in the process of brewing potions, Professor Snape and I did a little research, and found that using one's own magic power during making potions can make potions have their own unique taste."

"That's right, that's right, this is a very meaningful study. I read that issue of the magazine, which is a paper by a German potion master. I also tried it. Of course, I also found that doing so can make Your potions have a very pure effect, but the requirements for the use of magic are quite high, Miss Clark Kenthorpe, not everyone can do it as well as you. So generally speaking, the range of application of this skill is very small "Professor Slughorn continued with a smile, "Before I took office, I visited every teacher in the class, except for your mother-she disappeared quite completely throughout the summer vacation-but, I want to say, I have great respect for you. Miss Crackenthorpe, Madam Pomfrey and your dean speak very highly of you." He paused, showing a slightly smug smile, and said in a pleasant tone, "I am a When I am a little older, I have a little hobby. I like you good boys. Chatting with young people always reminds me of the time when I was young. Oh, I also hope that everyone can understand each other better , communication skills, between colleges - I once asked a student to send you an invitation on the train..." Professor Slughorn looked at Virginia inquiringly, "Have you not received it? ?”

"Ah, I'm sorry, Professor." Virginia quickly apologized, "When I was in the fourth grade, I was cast with the Imperius Curse in the corridor of the school. After that, I was a little timid..."

"So it is," Professor Slughorn smiled understandingly, indicating that he is a very generous man. "I heard that Mr. Blaise Zabini of Slytherin is your cousin?"

"Yes," said Virginia.

"You can come to my little party with him next time."

"Thank you for your kindness, Professor." Virginia smiled.

Slughorn nodded at her and watched her pick up her schoolbag from her seat and walk out of the classroom.He lowered his head and put the crystal bottle in his hand under his nose again and sniffed it, muttering to himself, "Like, it's so similar..."

In the potions class of the sixth grade, Professor Sgrahorn had his eye on a new character.Draco Malfoy.This boy with a prominent surname hadn't been on Professor Sgrahorn's list before, for the simple reason that the Dark Lord had returned, and he himself wanted to live longer.Just look at twice as many Dementor attacks near Wittel as anywhere else to see how angry the Dark Lord is at the disappearance of his once greatest lieutenant.

Thanks Merlin, Hogwarts and Dumbledore for being there.Sglahorne took another look at Draco's and Virginia's identical handling of potions, and decided to let curiosity die for once.He walked around behind Harry, focusing more on the savior who would allow him to achieve greater glory.

Virginia took Draco's arm and walked into Professor Sgrahorn's office.Thankfully, she had already shirked the fat professor's invitation countless times—on average, there would be a party every two weeks, but this time, Virginia really had no way to shirk.

The decoration of Sgraghorn’s office really did not exceed Virginia’s expectations. It was a mess of magnificence, just like he always used a lot of words to decorate his sentences. The walls, ceilings, and desks of the office , chairs, and even the floor are full of decorations.

The room was crowded and hot, and Virginia suddenly felt that the woolen shawl on her shoulders was a bit unnecessary.

"Dear Virginia, my lovely diva!" said Sglahorn, in a rich wine-red gown with colorful partridge feathers on the breast, a velvet hat, and a plump His face was flushed, "I thought you wouldn't come so early today..." His words paused slightly when he saw her arm wrapped around Draco's, and soon, he hung up again Smiling, seemingly surprised, "Oh, your friend? Malfoy, sir?"

"Draco is my fiancé, we got engaged during the summer vacation." Virginia narrowly picked the feather snake necklace on her chest with the finger wearing the ring, "Brace also has his own girlfriend, I don't want to bother him."

Sglasshorn's face suddenly couldn't be any more enthusiastic.There is no other reason. From the number of times Wittel County has been attacked by dementors and Death Eaters this year, it can be seen that the Dark Lord is full of anger at the sudden disappearance of Malfoy, a former capable servant.Thinking of this, Virginia was full of fear, the Dark Lord became more and more arrogant, and the Footsteps of Death Eaters had even reached Hogsmeade.Since this semester, Virginia has devoted all her spare time to potions. There are more and more potions in the secret room of the dead end. The blood tonic and palliative have already taken up a floor, and there is also a small bottle of Felicia. There are fewer and fewer medicinal materials.Last month, Virginia's moonstone powder ran out, and Draco encountered an attack on the way to Hogsmeade to buy it for her. If he hadn't been vigilant, he immediately grabbed it and returned to Zabini The door key of the manor is really a nightmare.Not only that, Draco's status in Slytherin became more and more embarrassing. He had never been attacked, and he had been cursed more than once in the corridor outside the Slytherin bedroom.

The half-smile on Draco's face made it impossible for Sglasshorn to hold back his smile.Fortunately, Harry and Hermione came in at this moment, making Sglasshorn's enthusiasm reappear.

Virginia pulled Draco to a corner of the living room where there were few people, and put a cup of mango pudding on the table, "It's been a long time since I saw them. Have you noticed, Draco? There is always I can't see them, and the principal, the professor. Are they also absent from class?"

Not far away, Harry and Hermione were holding hands. Compared with the fourth graders, the Harry in black dress at this moment was no longer the same as the Harry who couldn't afford a formal suit back then, while the Harry in the pink dress Hermione, even more brows, but there is obvious fatigue between the two of them.

"They must have used the Time-Turner just now." Draco said softly, and he raised his hand to smooth Virginia's hair behind her ear so that she could hold the spoon in her mouth. "It's not time to announce our engagement It's a good time, Weir, if Professor Sgrahorn spreads the news, your danger will be greatly increased, even if you don't leave the school gate."

"Even if there is no such thing as engagement, it doesn't make much difference. Everyone knows that we will definitely be together." Virginia said nonchalantly, "Didn't I receive fewer curses this semester? If not Professor Snape tried his best to stop her, and Mom almost rushed into the Slytherin dormitory and shot those bastards you, she has a big opinion on you now." She lowered her voice, "Don't forget Pan Xi still has pimples all over her face, and Warrington has lost a piece of hair, which was actually done by me."

Thinking of the Muggle weapons in the drawer in Alona's office - several "iron lumps" of various sizes and models, Draco was speechless for a while.He stroked Virginia's arm, not knowing what to say.

Suddenly the clock on the wall rang, and Bryce came, the last to reach Sgraghorn's office, but the girl on his arm, in spite of her sweet smile and dignified features, astonished them. .Originally Virginia thought it would be Melinda Poppins, the Ravenclaw girl he was dating recently. The latter opened several pharmacy chains in her family and was Sgraghorn's latest "new love", but she herself At this time, he was glaring at Blaise and the people around him with a gloomy face.

"Little Astoria?" Virginia blinked unhappily. She brushed her hair and handed the shawl and half-eaten pudding to the passing waiter. At the same time, she arranged the necklace and the hem of the skirt, and finally put his arm in Draco's, and said vigorously, "Come on, go say hello to them."

Draco couldn't help but laugh.

Blaise felt that he must be crazy. Even if he had liked Daphne before, there was no need to offend Melinda to let Astoria get this insignificant Christmas ball.He sighed heavily in his heart, blaming Daphne for crying and staring at him with condemning eyes, as if he had done something outrageous.Avoiding Melinda's equally condemning and angry gaze, he searched the house for his friend and sister.

When Blaise saw Draco in front of a floor-to-ceiling curtain with funny patterns, Astoria spotted him too.This aristocratic boy had a fake smile on his face, but he was so handsome that he shone in the crowd, no one could match him.His appearance, pedigree, status and wealth all make Astoria's heart beat.She is a person with a strong personality, and like almost all women, she worships strength. She knows that her family background and status are completely incompatible with the surname Malfoy at any time in the past.But now——she remembered her parents' hesitation and wait-and-see, but gritted her teeth and made up her mind.She watched silently from the sidelines for five years. Draco's character was mature, resolute and decisive, and he could even endure long pains—this kind of character made Astoria attracted beyond reason.

Her eyes moved to the other person, and she immediately felt the burning in her heart.

This is her biggest obstacle.
