Olivia's face paled.

The office fell into an awkward silence.

"I'm sorry," Dumbledore's tone was full of sincere apology and concern, "Dear Olivia, I didn't intend to make you sad. Please forgive me, an old man, for always indulging in memories inappropriately."

Olivia sighed, she knew that Dumbledore was testing her because of her Slytherin house status.

Before she came, she expected that Dumbledore would definitely mention her father. After all, he was a Gryffindor. Gryffindor looked familiar.

She didn't dislike Dumbledore, but she hated this roundabout probing and measuring.

"I'm not sad now." Olivia said calmly, "Everyone will be found by death, and sooner or later, I will eventually follow in my father's footsteps. He just walked away with my mother too early And it took my grandfather, which made me a little lonely waiting for death."

Dumbledore was a little surprised by her frankness when she talked about death: "Son, your thoughts surprise me."

She shrugged and smiled: "It's not surprising, God of death is the best teacher. He taught me the most important truth - since life is so short and impermanent, then don't let yourself down every day. Do what you want, Don't leave any regrets."

"What do you say? Headmaster Dumbledore."

Dumbledore nodded, his wise eyes showed a gentle light, which made people feel very reliable.

"A very wise and correct attitude towards life, child, you even make me feel envious. We always want too much and understand too late. Too many people trap their lives in greedy desires and lose the most important thing. thing."

Olivia didn't know if he was talking about Voldemort, Grindelwald, or herself.Possibly, he was talking about them all.

He took off the lens, wiped it with the corner of his sleeve, and brought it back to his face.

"Come on, kid, let me see what places need my help."

Olivia, who was stuffed with alchemy knowledge, walked out of the principal's office during dinner time and went down the winding stairs to pass the entrance of Gryffindor's dormitory. She saw three people coming out of the opened wall .

They were arguing about something and didn't notice Olivia behind.

"...This is a bit strange." James said not in a low voice, "Remus' mother is sick again, but what illness must he take care of beside him?"

"And every time he came back, his face was pale and his body was weak, as if he was the one who had a serious illness." Sirius added.

"Maybe..." A fat little boy followed them step by step, whispering in a thin voice, "It's some kind of crazy disease that needs to be suppressed... I've seen it in Muggles, some people go crazy It takes a lot of strength to subdue it.”

"Maybe so," James said innocently, looking a little convinced, "Remus said his mother was a Muggle."

"This is really sympathetic. Peter, do you know..." Sirius turned his head to say something to his companions, but he caught sight of Olivia who was silently following behind them.

"Why are you here?" He took a big step back, looking at her suspiciously.

James yelled, "She's following us, she's overheard us!"

Peter sneaked behind the two of them.

"Hey! This is not the place where Slytherin should appear." The two little lions opened their teeth and claws to maintain the territory.

Olivia looked at them speechlessly, feeling that they had a peculiar talent, that is, they could act out a big play by themselves anytime, anywhere without anyone's cooperation.

In such a short period of time, she rolled her eyes with countless evil intentions and sinister thoughts, she was not interested in wasting words with them, and kept walking past them.

"Let's go, don't get in the way."

James ran up to her and stopped her: "Hey! Don't even think about leaving here unless you speak clearly."

Sirius blocked the other direction very tacitly, and motioned for Peter to stand behind her.

Olivia sighed: "I'm just passing by, I'm not interested in any of your secrets." In fact, she knows more than them.

She wanted to pass through their gap, but was blocked by them.

"This reason is not sufficient." James may not believe it, or he may be deliberately embarrassing him. He tried his best to intimidate her with an evil smile. Pathfinder?"

"Are you sure you won't let me?" Olivia looked at them helplessly.

"Don't be afraid, we just need to..."

"OK, the negotiation failed, then—"

Without any warning, Olivia shook out her wand from her sleeve, and quickly threw two petrification spells on them.

The two people with proud and excited smiles froze in place.

Olivia: "I won't listen to you when I talk to you well, so you have to force me to do it." What should I do if the child commits a crime?Most of them are used to it, and they are undercut.

She glanced back at Peter, who looked like he was about to cry with tears in his little eyes.

She had no expression on her face: "do you want to stop me?"

Peter shivered in a corner.

Without even looking at the two stone figures, she tucked her wand back into her sleeve and continued walking unhurriedly.

The next morning, almost all the students knew that James and Sirius had been petrified by Olivia in the corridor.Peter cried bitterly and ran to find Mag, but when Mag ran over, he found that the two of them had lifted the petrification.

The three had no choice but to declare again and again that this was not a prank they directed or acted on their own, and in the end they had no choice but to endure the embarrassment in despair.

But Olivia could tell from the sharp glances they threw at her that they would never let it go and wait for an opportunity to retaliate at any time.

In this regard, she said: I am not targeting you, I just want to say that all of you are hot chickens.

Lily's opinion of them became worse after hearing about this incident.

"They actually want three people to bully a girl!" Lily even felt ashamed to be in the same academy with such a person, "It's just scum!"

Of course, she didn't believe that Olivia would cast a spell on them for no reason. She firmly believed that they must be trying to do something to her in order to be countered.

The three predators: Wrong!We didn't even touch her with a finger!

Lily: So you actually plan to touch?

The three of them couldn't argue with each other.

Snape secretly glanced at Olivia several times while gloating.

She asked blankly, "What's wrong?"

Snape hesitated, "You're not hurt, are you?"

Olivia froze for a moment, then smiled,

She looked at him with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

He turned his head uncomfortably and muttered: "That's right, a violent girl like you has to thank Merlin for not letting others get hurt."

This small incident was gradually forgotten as the weather got colder and colder. In the second week of December, Hogwarts began to snow.

"I asked to change colleges." Olivia was wrapped in a blanket, holding a cup of hot cocoa in her hand, nestling in front of the fireplace in the lounge, like a shriveled cabbage, "I'm going to Ravenclaw , I want to see the snow!"

She only thought about Slytherin having an underground aquarium, but she didn't realize that it also meant she couldn't see anything else from the window all year round.

And in winter, Slytherin's cellar is really similar to an ice cellar. Although she can cast the warming spell all the time, the temperature of the warming spell is very similar to the hot air of an air conditioner, which always makes people feel dry and easy to burn. fire.

Snape buried himself in his book, ignoring her completely.

Olivia sneezed and sniffed.

"If you want to do stupid things like flying on a broomstick to the sky to see the snow scene again during the cold period, I will suggest that the headmaster expel you directly. This is the first time a student froze to death in Hogwarts in the province." Snape said without looking up, "And the student was so stupid that he refused to drink the cold potion because he hated the taste of the potion."

"Scientific research by Muggles shows that if a cold is healed automatically, it can improve the body's immunity." Olivia explained seriously.

"If this is the excuse you use to cover up your childlike refusal to take medicine, I advise you to find something more clever, such as - you are allergic to the toad juice in the refreshing potion."

Olivia made a disgusted expression.

She doodled and drew in her notebook for a while, and suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Severus." She moved beside him.

"You're blocking my light." He looked up at her dissatisfied, "What are you doing?"

"You chose to stay in school for Christmas?"

Snape flicked his hand and said coldly, "What's the problem?"

Olivia sat up straight from the armchair. She hesitated, as if she was thinking about something, but she still said seriously: "I want to say, if you don't plan to go home, can I invite you to my house?"

Snape was a little surprised when he heard this, and he said dryly, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'd rather stay in the Hogwarts library, I've already planned a book list for the holidays."

"You can take them to my house to see."

"I don't want to waste time traveling back and forth."

Olivia sighed: "Okay."

Snape froze, and he took a furtive glance at her, only to see her back in her chair, staring blankly at the fireplace.The orange-red flames danced in her black eyes, and the expression on her face was somewhat unpredictable.

He didn't know if she was frustrated because he rejected her invitation, but he felt that his worry was a bit ridiculous, maybe she just mentioned it casually because she looked at him pitifully.

Olivia jumped off the chair, she sniffed: "I have to go to bed and lie down, I hope I have a cold before I go home." Otherwise, when I get home, I still can't escape Elton Squeeze her and pour her the potion.

Snape nodded wildly, watching her figure disappear before the curtain, and unconsciously crumpled a corner of the page.

Afterwards, Lily also sent an invitation to Snape, but Snape still refused. Lily also understood his temper, but she just comforted: "It is said that Dumbledore will hold a banquet for the remaining students, and you can come back when we come back." Tell us how it is."

Lily's thoughts were always easy to see through, so although Snape regretted it, he didn't feel any pressure to reject Lily.But Olivia always seemed to be smiling, like a fool who couldn't care less, but no one could guess what she was thinking.

Olivia had no idea how much trouble she had caused Snape with her casual words. Her cold hadn't gotten better, and her cough had been with her for a week.Everyone around her was looking at her with mentally retarded eyes, completely unable to understand why she didn't let the cold go away within a few hours.

No one believed that if she always used potions, her resistance would get worse.

"Believe me, the only side effect of the refresher is to make your ears smoke, and the so-called resistance will not have any effect at all." Snape looked at her like he was looking at a stubborn idiot.

Olivia poked her neck: "I just don't want to drink it." She really couldn't stand the taste, and she knew very well what strange ingredients it contained.

Snape said with a cold face: "Then you go to die."

Lily said: "This kind of bear child just owes a lesson, let's take care of her when she deteriorates into pneumonia."

Olivia embarked on the return journey depressed.

On the train, she wanted to open the window to see the scenery, but was suppressed by Lily and Mary, so she had to paint with water mist on the window.

Lili and the others were shocked when they saw a stick figure of two little lionesses showing their paws to a little snake after they casually wiped it a few times.

"Ollie, you never said you could draw."

Lily carefully pressed her fingers into the shape of a small foot on the window, and Mary added a cat paw print next to it.

"No?" Olivia herself wondered for a moment, and then said casually, "My mother taught me, she is very good at this."

Her mother came from a declining old-fashioned wizarding family, almost all of them died, and she was raised as a young lady, so that she could play the piano, draw and paint everything, and used life magic well, but she was poor in serious studies .It is said that her mother would not have been able to pass the OWL exam if her father hadn't worked so hard to give her extra lessons to help her graduate smoothly.

So when she was a child learning to paint with her mother, her thin grandfather was always very nervous, for fear that she would also be brought into that naive and ignorant look.

Olivia took Lily's hand and drew a lily on the window. Seeing that Mary looked forward, she also held her hand and drew a rose.

The three girls played together against the two pieces of glass.

After getting off the car, the three girls all went up to pick up their families.

Lily's parents and sister came, and her father hugged Lily who flew over, and even lifted her up and spun around, Lily screamed and laughed.Her mother looked on with a big smile on her face, taking Lily from head to toe carefully.Her sister seemed very happy too, but she turned her face deliberately and secretly looked at the other people who got off the train.

Olivia found that she had peeped at herself many times.

Mary's side was also a similar pair of parents, with a younger brother who was less than eight years old. Mary hugged her younger brother and kissed her several times.

Both girls introduced Olivia to their family members, and she also pulled Elton, who was standing upright behind her, and introduced him as her housekeeper.

Elton was wearing an orthodox three-piece brown and black suit, a bowler hat, a black cane in his hand, a neatly arranged handkerchief in his jacket pocket, and his long coat was open, revealing a golden pocket watch chain in his vest pocket.He has a mustache on his lips, although it is gray, it is also well groomed.He is already 90 years old, and he looks like an ordinary person who is 60 years old.

He bowed slightly to them, straightened his back, and stood behind Olivia expressionlessly, with ample courtesy and cold eyes.

People from both families looked at them with a kind of awe, as if they saw the current King Edward VIII step off the TV.

Olivia: Invisible pretense is the deadliest.

The three girls said goodbye to each other, and Olivia and Elton apparated back home.

Orpington Manor is located on a mountain in Cumbria, England. From the mountain, you can see a lake that stretches for miles and endless green grass.There is a Muggle town near the manor, but because the manor casts a Muggle expulsion spell, people generally don't approach it.

In other words, within a radius of tens of miles, there were only two living people, Olivia and Elton—not counting the house elves in the manor.

There are about seven or eight elves in the manor, but they all abide by their duties and generally do not appear in front of the master. Only Tian Tian, ​​who is the leader inside, is qualified to accompany the master.

"Welcome Miss Olivia home!" Wearing a floral skirt made of handkerchiefs, Tiantian looks much cleaner and more energetic than ordinary house elves—but in terms of human aesthetics, it's also called It’s not about looking good.

"Hello, sweet." Olivia couldn't treat this elf who had been taking care of herself since birth as an ordinary servant, but if she got too close, it would cause Elton and a certain portrait to scold her.

"Hello, Ivan." She greeted her great-grandmother in the portrait.

Evangeline Orpington can be said to be a legend of the Orpington family.Made her own portrait at the age of 40, yet she lived to be 120.It took her 80 years to imbue her portraits with thoughts that are almost indistinguishable from her own.

Judging by the rate at which the magic of the portrait is lost, Evangeline should still be able to take a leisurely nap in the frame after she dies.

"Welcome back, my lovely Ollie." Evangeline straightened her shawl and blinked energetically. "Since you went to Hogwarts, no one has read to me."

She appears in the frame to be in her late thirties, and instead of her wizarding robes, she is wearing a gorgeous Victorian dress, studded with lace and jewels.

She has an outstanding appearance, half of her face is covered by a feather fan, and she wears a brightly colored hat on her black hair. She looks radiant and beautiful.

She complained gracefully and cutely: "The Muggle novels that Little Elton found me did not suit my taste at all."

"I said I would take you to Hogwarts, but you refused." Olivia said with a smile, mercilessly cheating on her housekeeper, "Before I leave this time, I will pick a hundred books for you, and let El I will read to you every day."

Elton let out a deep sigh.

Evangeline gave birth to Olivia's grandfather at the age of 80. This may seem a bit shocking, but thanks to the wizards' physique different from Muggles and excellent potions, she gave birth to the child smoothly.Olivia always believed that her great-grandfather died because of extreme joy and sorrow.

Because she had always thought that she was infertile, she adopted Elton to relieve her loneliness. Elton is Evangeline's half son. Even if he is almost 90 years old now, he can only look like a child in front of her Be obedient and obedient like a child.No matter how bloody third-rate romance novels were, he had to read them to her emotionally.

In this regard, Olivia expressed her joy.

The author has something to say:

Evangeline Orpington from Rowling

This character was found among the previous ministers of the Ministry of Magic. There is only one sentence of introduction. It is said that he is a good friend with Queen Victoria.

Because I wrote Victoria, I was immediately poked →_→

This is the origin of Olivia's character background (it feels so casual hahaha)

Except for the name Evangeline, all the settings of the Orpington family come from my own nonsense, and everything is for the sake of making it more enjoyable~
