I hope you will always keep a proud and dignified smile, for this reason, I would like to disappear in your world.

— Anne Porter

……

2005.2.14

The fireworks exploded in the night sky covered with snowflakes, and they rushed up to the sky like meteors and then fell, surrounded by the cheers and laughter of couples, and some people were kissing affectionately, forming a beautiful line in front of Tower Bridge in London Landscape.

Hermione sprinkled rose petals into the river and watched them flow into the distance with the river. She leaned on the railing and squinted to see the pure white snowflakes flying in the sky.

There are 77 days left before Anne's death.

It's amazing that this year is also the seventh year.

She wrapped the green and silver scarf tightly, exposing only the upper half of her face, but the cold air could still get into her nose through the scarf, causing a sour feeling.Hermione's faint sigh was lost in the scarf, and she turned to leave.

At this moment, her temples suddenly felt a pain, as if a needle had grown out of her head, and went straight through her temples on both sides.

The snow seems to be heavy.

Hermione held her forehead, a dizziness made her almost unsteady, but there were still ignorant snowflakes trying to get into her eyes.

"Damn it," Hermione murmured softly, "even you bullied me."

She rubbed her eyes hard twice, and blinked quickly, snowflakes fell one after another, and fell to the ground at an oblique angle, and the streetlights by the bridge became brighter.

thump.

Her heart beat violently, and Hermione touched her heart hesitantly.

Although some memories are buried in the bottom of my heart, the body's reaction cannot be forgotten. Every sleepless night, she would stare at the dark ceiling, thinking about what the next dream reunion would be like, but very Too bad her cheating girlfriend never said when they would meet again.

The strength of the beating heart was clearly felt by the warm palm, and Hermione slowly raised her head. Her heart hadn't been beating so powerfully for a long time.

It is precisely because we don't know when, where, and what kind of mood we will have when we meet again that people feel that the word "encounter unexpectedly" is so sad, but it makes people ponder over and over again.

Hermione knew that she had a liar girlfriend who was a liar full of lies from birth to death.

She wanted to forget the past but the person she was addicted to was standing in front of her alive, but this was probably just the same dream as five years ago.

It's just that she hasn't dreamed for a long time, and she hasn't seen her for a long time.

Annie was wearing the robe she was buried in, her long, fiery hair hung behind her, and her face was filled with soft light, like a god—gentle, but untouchable.She stood barefoot in the snow, attracting the attention of many passers-by. They whispered and pointed to Annie who was standing there.

"Isn't this a psycho who escaped from some madhouse?"

"But she's so pretty."

"You see she is still barefoot, don't you know it's cold?"

Hermione stared blankly at the person ten meters away from her, the crowd's voice seemed to be blocked, she could only hear her own strong heartbeat, her eyes could only contain the red hair walking towards her Girl, everything in front of me is in slow motion.

During the time before Annie left, she was as scary as a ghost when she didn't smile, and she felt that she was in a cold cellar but was being scorched by a raging fire just by looking at it.

But when she faces her lover, she always shows her best side to show her.

On this winter night where she could not see any expectations, and on this snowy night where longing was infinitely prolonged, she met her longing unexpectedly, but also ushered in the painful moment of reunion and parting again.

The moment she was embraced in her arms, all the voices in the world returned to her life again. Hermione touched Anne's eyebrows and eyes, tears blurred her eyes.

"You've lost a lot of weight." Annie stared down at her, her green eyes glistening with tenderness. "Fool, why don't you talk?"

Hermione trembled all over, put her arms around her neck, and said in her fiercest tone, "You still have the face to come back? How dare you appear in front of me..." The unfinished words were swallowed up by a kiss, and the onlookers There were cheers, applause and whistles from the crowd.

She had been waiting for this kiss for a long time, even though the world presented to her was nothing but a broken dream.

"It's a dream, isn't it." Hermione bit Annie's lips lightly and whispered softly, "I know you're fake, stay with me for a while, okay?"

"I think I can stay with you for a while longer." Annie said with a low smile, "This winter night hasn't ended so early."

"Hey, girl, don't let your girlfriend freeze!" A woman watching the show next to her said with a smile, "I think she must have run away from home to find you, why don't you elope!"

Hermione stared blankly at the smiling Anne, barely reacting.

"They asked us to elope." Anne said softly, "Let's go." She took Hermione's hand and walked down the street, with warm applause behind her.

Hermione looked blankly at Annie holding her hand, and then looked back at the crowd behind her, "Is this a dream?" She hesitated, "It's not a dream, I did come to Tower Bridge." She squeezed hard The burning pain on her own face told her that all this happened for real.

"Let me think about it," Annie snapped her fingers, a pair of shoes exactly like Hermione's appeared on her feet instantly, and two pits appeared in the snow she stepped on. "Honey, did you have dinner tonight?"

Hermione opened her mouth, but could only utter some meaningless syllables that seemed stuck.

"Then, let's go home." Anne smiled at her and said, "Go back and see Crookshanks and Chris."

"You, are you really Annie?" Hermione frowned, and slowly pulled out her hand, "If this is not a dream, then who are you?"

It took me five years to really let myself touch you, little fool.

"I used the secret technique," Annie said softly, "but there is a price to pay. I want to meet you again before I really leave."

Hermione stared at her blankly for a while, then lowered her head and walked down the street without making a sound. Annie followed her silently. The snowflakes fell on her head and face, and disappeared miraculously. up.

Killington Square is very close to Tower Bridge, and you only need to cross three streets to get home. Hermione has walked these roads countless times, and it is the first time that the road is so long and so hateful.

Her eye sockets had become red, she clenched her teeth tightly, her facial muscles trembled rapidly, and she tried hard not to cry out.Annie followed her docilely, just one step away, no more and no less.

When she came to the alley that had been ambushed by Rachael and other founders, Hermione stopped.

"You know? I have thought about suicide many times, just because I want to see you again. Then I found out how ridiculous my thoughts are, because I am constantly reminded that my life depends on you In exchange for my life, I don't deserve to die, I have to linger on in this world and endure all the hostility from those who like you, they don't want me to die, and you don't want me to die." She held back her tears and said coldly Said, "Look, Anne Potter, I don't even have the right to die, and you still torture me like this when your mother dies. Do you really love me?"

She waited for a long time, but did not wait for the response from the people behind her. Heavy snow fell on the ground one after another, and the cold temperature penetrated her heart that had already collapsed.

Hermione couldn't bear it anymore, she turned around and slapped Annie.

"Say it!!!"

Her voice was sharp and ugly, echoing throughout the alley, Hermione couldn't control herself anymore, and beat Annie's chest and shoulders with her fists with all her strength, "You are crazy, you are crazy, I hate you Did you hear me! Why do you use me as an excuse if you want to die, bastard, cowardly and incompetent wretch, why do you..." She cried heartbreakingly, and patted Annie's face feebly, "Look at me in such a mess, you are very happy, do you feel happy..."

"I'm someone who doesn't exist, Hermione." Annie said softly, "I'm not from this world. Harry shouldn't have a sister, and I shouldn't be your girlfriend. Your life was ruined by me. Your destiny is originally related to Krum and Ron, I cut off all your ties with them, I didn't know about this...I just knew that I shouldn't live in this world."

"I don't care if you are from this world or not," Hermione gritted her teeth and grabbed her collar, saying bitterly, "You are not allowed to leave me anymore, and you will stay by my side even after you die. It seems that you have always stayed By my side, but you don't tell me..." She suddenly realized something, "What secret technique did you use, you made a Horcrux? Just like Voldemort? Then you can be resurrected like Voldemort, you can use me blood...my arm...where is your horcrux?"

Annie looked at her pitifully, and shook her head, "No Horcruxes, no, I used other methods." She hugged Hermione tightly, and buried her head in her neck, "I've been I want to tell you that my life started after I met you. I once fell into hell and hated everything in this world. Even if I met Harry, I still didn’t believe that he would love me forever. I also had very vicious thoughts about you, because I know that you are my only weakness, and I will abandon power, ambition and life for my weakness."

"I love you, the way you are arrogant and arrogant, the way you are arrogant, and I also love the way you are stubborn and even willing to betray me for your beliefs. I admit that I was very angry at the time, but I love you more You, I am obsessed with you, crazy about you." Annie kissed her earlobe tenderly, whispered, "I have never said these words to you, I am controlled by the devil in my heart, I always It’s because I can’t help but make you feel sorry for me and break down for me, I’ve done too many wrong things.”

"When did you fall in love with me?" Hermione asked softly, looking at the sky full of snow, "You wanted me to fall in love with you a long time ago, you succeeded, you did it."

"I shouldn't have made you fall in love with me." Annie smiled wryly, "I put myself in it too." She touched Hermione's hard butterfly bone and sighed, "Probably the first time I saw you I am doomed to go crazy because of you."

"First time..." Hermione whispered, "On the train?"

Annie smiled noncommittally, "I gathered all the power I could get to allow me to have a short-lived entity. I want to tell you personally those words that have not been said. I don't want you to suffer for me anymore. You should Go forward and have a good ending, for your beloved lover, don't suffer so much wronged because of me..."

"What do you mean?" Hermione shrieked. "You want me to find another mate? Anne Potter, you've got a good idea!"

Annie stared at her affectionately, with an imperceptible bitterness in the smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Of course my little girl can only belong to me." She gently wiped the tears off Hermione's face, "How could I be willing to give you to someone else? I just..." she whispered, "I hope if If there is an afterlife, I must not let you cry for me anymore, I want to make myself worthy of you, and stop doing those cruel things."

I'm leaving, but I won't leave you forever.

I will block my memory in this life, so that only the clean side will remain in the sea of ​​my memory, and I will also keep the memory before I crossed into this world.In this way, Severi would not suffer so much when she was a child, and she would not be full of hatred and malice because of it. She would win flowers and applause, and love you with a clear heart.

I think she will definitely be able to endure the pain brought to her by the soul lock, because only in this way can she know how to cherish it.

At least, you won't be in boundless pain like I am now.

I hope you will always be that high girl, don't become so humble because of me.

Crookshanks hates me, it won't restore your memory.

I... really have to go.

"I owe you my life, and I will pay you back." Hermione choked up, "Take me away, Anne, let's go to another world, I don't want to lose you again. Whether you are from this world or not, I It's all yours."

"Then I will wait for you," Annie kissed the cold silver ring on her hand, "I swear I will wait for you, we will have a new ending, falling in love with you is the only thing I don't regret in this life Decide."

Hermione finally knew why Anne said that this winter night did not end so early.

Sitting on a bench in the center of the square, they cuddled tightly, telling each other their innermost thoughts tenderly, from life to death, from the past to the future, from the spring days when the grass grows to the winter nights when the hawks fly.

When the snow stopped, Anne left her again.

Hermione looked down at the vacant space beside her, and felt that the ruins pressing on her heart disappeared. Everyone thought that she had been trapped in the memories Annie left her and couldn't get out. In fact, it was Annie I can't get out by myself.

How could she be humble?She's always been the high-flying, opinionated Gryffindor know-it-all, and the truly humble one, who won't bear to hurt a loved one, is Anne Potter.

She came back quietly on this snowy night, and warmed Hermione's withered heart with her cold lips. At this moment, Hermione knew that this was probably her last winter.

Hermione Granger didn't know how much deceit there was in Annie's promise this time, but the only thing she knew was that she was going to keep the date.

Going to an appointment that sounds absurd.

To this appointment she has been waiting for seven years.
