[HP]Helen Pan

"What? You lost that cross?" Mom stopped stuffing clothes into the box, turned her head and stared at me fiercely with her hips on her hips.Her eyes were frighteningly bright, I pursed my lips subconsciously, and leaned closer to my father who was reading the newspaper.

"Well...it's gone anyway..." I nodded silently.

I felt compelled to break the news to my mother before going to Naples to meet my grandfather, and I can hardly imagine how my grandfather would feel if he knew that I had lost the ancestral cross.

"Oh! My baby! My princess!" Mom looked very excited, she hugged me up and kissed me repeatedly on the left and right cheeks, "Good job! I've hated that cross for a long time It’s just right to lose it! I don’t want my grandson to carry such an outdated and old-fashioned thing!” Then, the mother stood up straight with her face in her hands, and said, “Wait, I have to give My little Helen is going to buy another small pendant. My dear, why don’t we go to Venice once? You know that the handicraft industry is the most developed there!” The mother who said this showed a girlish yearning, and she looked at her father sweetly. Sweet smile.

Dad's hand holding the newspaper tightened in vain, and the Times in his hand rustled with his father's trembling hands, but after a while, Dad calmed down, and he looked at his mother with a restrained smile, "Of course! My dear." Yes, the holiday arrangements are up to you."

"Really?" Mom rushed to Dad's side, and she sat on the handle of the sofa, snuggling into Dad's arms like a girl in love.

"Of course." I faintly saw the corners of Dad's mouth twitching.He kissed his mother's cheek, "You know the firm has been doing well recently."

You must know that Venice is a world-renowned place for burning money, and the price of buying a local Italian brand product there is even higher than that of foreign countries plus tariffs.If Mom really made up her mind, I can only pray that God bless Dad and that his law firm is doing what he says it is—doing well.

I remember the last time my mother used the [-]th wedding anniversary as an excuse to go shopping in Venice. The whole carload of top brands made it take my father a whole year to pay off the credit card loan.The financial constraints forced him to quit his new hobby - Cuban cigars.

"Dad... have you picked up any bad habits recently?" While my mother was packing my luggage in a happy mood, I quietly moved to my father's side and opened my mouth carefully.

Dad lowered his head in pain, his blue eyes dimmed, he replied in a low voice, "A few days ago I played a few studs with my friends..."

"Gambling is really bad behavior." I said sincerely.

Dad cleared his throat before lowering his voice, with a slightly threatening tone, "Helen, I hope you call this a normal social activity."

I shrugged my shoulders at my father, and then spread my hands, "Whatever you want." Then, I ran to my mother, "Mom, can I have a pair of Pepe boots? I saw it on the Internet, they are so beautiful. I want to have a pair in my dreams." I looked up and said in a pleading tone.

My mother bent down and held my face with both hands. She smiled charmingly, her beautiful eyes bent into two crescent moons, "My dear Helen, as long as it is your wish, father and mother will definitely satisfy you! Let me think about it." , you will also get a new coat. Isn’t that right, my dear?” As she spoke, Mom posed the question to Dad again, she frowned slightly, her eyes were as intoxicating as the sparkling Rhine River in April, The sexy lips were slightly pursed, showing the girl's expectation.

There was only a sudden tearing sound, and the newspaper in Dad's hand was torn in half.

"Of course! Honey, I think you also need to buy some new clothes." Then, Dad stood up from the sofa with a smile on his face, and said with a relaxed expression, "The new clothes you mentioned last time The overcoat and the limited-edition handbag are both good choices." As he spoke, he walked briskly back to his study.

Mom glanced back at him, then patted me on the cheek happily.She smiled smugly, and her tone was very firm, "This guy is probably going to count his fortune. Maybe he can squeeze out his private money." After saying this, her mother's movements of packing things became brisk .

Looking at the "husband and wife loving" appearance of my parents, I just remembered an important thing.

"Well...Mom, you said you were the one who chased after Dad first?" I asked impatiently.

"Indeed." Mom glanced at me in surprise, then nodded.

"So, may I know how you do it?" I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest.

"Oh! I just made an appointment to push it down and exchange feelings. You know your father's sullen personality, so you have to get straight to the point." Mom narrowed her eyes and smiled, her tone full of complacency.

"Directly... direct push down?" I was a little puzzled.

Is this going to be a fight?

Still have to knock him down technically?

"Wait!" Mom suddenly screamed, she tilted her head, resting her chin with her left hand, her eyes were full of exploration.The high ponytail and bright and sly eyes made her look like a girl with bad ideas, "Let me guess... My little Helen is in love?"

In the phrase.

I hung my head in embarrassment, then nodded quickly.

"No wonder he's pretty." Mom said teasingly, "Tell me! What kind of boy is it? Have I seen it? That... that Harry Potter?"

"No! Not..." I shook my head again and again, "I met you last Christmas when you picked me up from my grandfather's house. His name is George Weasley. One of the twins." I said seriously, "He's about this tall." I stood on tiptoe and compared, "He has a pair of blue eyes, a high nose bridge, and some small freckles. He is very warm and charming when he smiles. By the way! His red hair is very beautiful. "Speaking, I couldn't help laughing secretly.

Mom pouted, with a knowing expression.She shook her head and kept saying, "God bless, my tomboy finally got his head around it! I have to call my father and tell my father, he lost the bet with me! That old guy dared to say that my Helen couldn't find him before he was 15 years old!" Boy friend!"

"Wait!" I hurriedly grabbed my mother who was going into the room, "You haven't told me what you mean by pushing down directly."

"Oh!" Mom frowned, her expression seemed a bit embarrassed, "You are not suitable to use that trick now. Let me think about it, you will have at least another two years."

"Then what should I do?" I asked again.

"Oh." Mom raised her beautiful head high like a queen, and her sexy and charming red lips opened and closed slightly. She said, "The best way to catch a man's heart is to catch his heart." Stomach." She pursed her lips, and then quickly ran towards the phone, "That bet is worth five hundred euros! I have to hurry up and ask for it!"

If you want to grab a man's heart, you have to grab his stomach first?

……

The Hogwarts Express.

I sat nervously in the carriage with a basket of snacks I just made yesterday.

"Helen, what is this? Why are you holding on to it?" Michael looked at my basket with his head probed. He opened the basket and picked up a donut naturally, and took a bite.

"It's delicious!" He wiped the powdered sugar from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, and then took the basket from me. "I got up so late today that I forgot to eat breakfast. You are so thoughtful." As he spoke, he picked up another piece of chocolate almond cake.

"Michael..." I wanted to stop him, but I withdrew my hand when I heard that he hadn't eaten breakfast and that he still had more snacks.He poured a cup of tea for him, "How about this dessert?"

"great!"

At this moment, the carriage was pushed open, and two senior Ravenclaw girls opened the door and entered.One girl has black hair and black eyes, but the difference from me is that she is obviously oriental in appearance, with a shy expression and a little mystery in her quietness; while the other girl has a completely different temperament, she has beautiful blond hair and soft hair Draped on the shoulders, the hot and predictable figure is unforgettable.These two girls are eye-catchingly beautiful.

"Autumn, Marietta, good morning!" Michael stopped chewing, raised his head and smiled brightly at the two girls at the door, "This is Helen, my friend, a Gryffindor." He turned to me I pursed my lips, and I immediately greeted with a smile.It wasn't surprising that they knew me, because there were very few pretty girls in the world that Michael didn't know.

"Cho Chang?" I repeated the oriental girl's name, "Chinese?"

"En!" Qiu nodded with a smile, demure and elegant.

"By the way! I have some snacks here, do you want to try them?" As he spoke, Michael suddenly handed over the basket in his hand. I wanted to grab it, but Qiu and Marietta's hands had already reached into the basket.

"Helen, your face is ugly. What's the matter?" Michael held the last piece of curry puffs in the basket, "Are you hungry?" As he spoke, he handed over the snack in his hand in a considerate manner.

I looked at the empty snack basket and silently cursed Michael for gaining twenty catties tonight!

This is the result of my hard work with my grandmother for a summer vacation!Just let Michael give it away, George didn't even have time to eat...

Mother……

I think your five hundred euros will be paid back to your grandfather sooner or later.

The Hogwarts Express was speeding, Michael and Cho and Marietta were chatting enthusiastically, but my mood was like the weather outside the car, cloudy and stormy.

I don't know if it's my illusion, the train seems to be going slower and slower, and the sound of the wheels is gradually fading away.

Finally, it stopped.

In an instant, the entire carriage went dark, and the aisle outside the carriage became unusually quiet in an instant!

Cho and Marietta yelled, and Anthony circled restlessly in his cage.In the darkness, I was the first to touch Michael's hand, a warm and skinny hand.

"What happened?" I looked out through the glass on the carriage door.

"God knows?!" Michael cursed, "I'll go and see." He tightened his grip on my hand, then seemed to let go.

"My God!" Michael exclaimed in a low voice.He was going to open the door, but he just glanced out the window and then sat back quickly, and pressed his body against me, as if trying to squeeze me into the gap between the seat and the wall.

"What's wrong?" I struggled to push him away and tried to stand up to open the door, but he pulled me back.

"Quiet! There are dementors outside the door!" Michael's voice was suppressed and urgent in the darkness.

"What!?" Marietta yelled.

"C-Dementor..." Qiu also looked surprised.

"Yes, something from Azkaban?" I asked softly.

"Yes! I saw it in the book, it can't be wrong. Do you feel cold?" Michael seemed to be panting.

After he said this, I realized that his palm, which was still warm just now, had already turned cold.And my fingertips were stiff from the cold.

At this moment, lightning flashed across the sky, instantly illuminating the carriage.I looked through the car window and saw a monster about two feet tall who seemed to be wearing a cape.It was only for a moment, but I was sure there was no face under the brim of his cloak!

At that moment, my mind went blank and I couldn't think of anything.

Michael was clinging to me, trying to physically keep me in the back.There was such a silence in the car that I couldn't even hear each other's breathing.
