On the third day after Rui Yi took her first bite, she was notified by the attending therapist that she could move to the general ward for recuperation.Since then, she has been actively cooperating with the treatment, and showed great enthusiasm for exercise, and her body recovered quickly.Even though the Cruciatus Curse has inflicted indelible damage on her body—she may not escape the occasional twitching of her fingers for the rest of her life—she expresses great optimism.The hope of life glowed in her, and Fred could finally see a smile on her growing face.

It's just that she is still a little ashamed to face her family.

For her incomprehension and blame for her dear family members in the past few days, although she has been forgiven or even never taken to heart, it still makes Rui feel guilty.She has been trying to muster up the courage to talk to her family members, but as soon as she saw Mrs. Wood's haggard face, she was at a loss for words.Oliver was a little anxious, but it was Fred who seemed to be at ease at this moment: "It's always difficult to change identities," Fred said. "Let her get used to it."

"What identity to change?" Oliver didn't quite understand. "Isn't she still my sister?"

Rui Yi, who was pretending to sleep in the ward, heard this, and the pillow was wet from crying.

Everything seemed to be going in the right direction, and Ray was finally released from the hospital three weeks after the disaster.It was a rainy day back home, the boys were busy (Oliver was called back by the team's yelling letter, and the twins were caught in the hot situation in the store), and only Lini, Mon Lisa and Qiu Lai help Rui carry luggage and tidy up the house.Delena sent her a gift of recovery through her owl and was sorry to say that something happened at home and she couldn't be celebrating.Although Ruiyi was a little disappointed, she still wrote back to thank her for her blessings and hoped that the Stoke family would get through the difficulties as soon as possible.

"The return of the mysterious man has caused a great commotion. Many students of mixed race and hemp race are considering dropping out. Anyway, as far as I know, there must be ten of them in our college." Mon Lisa has a wide range of sources. "I guess it's because of Delena? She's a half-breed."

"Aren't you afraid?" Lini asked hesitantly. "You're Muggle-born."

"I prefer to call my parents ordinary people." Mon Lisa shrugged. "Besides, what can I do? I believe that Hogwarts is the safest place, and Dumbledore is here! Besides, my parents don't know magic. If I don't continue learning, who will protect them in the future? Woolen cloth?"

"You are so brave," Qiu whispered. "Mon Lisa, you are so brave."

"Thank you." Mon Lisa used Rui's dressing gown as a skirt, and saluted in a dignified way, which made the other three laugh.

Rae looks happy in the company of her friends and future sister-in-law, and the girls have a day of fun at Wood's.As the only adult in the family (even though the girls are actually adults), Grandmother Amanda is very open-minded.She lets the kids play games on the table using cupcakes as pins and an apple as a bowling ball; she doesn't let them bounce around in the kitchen and nearly catch fire to her favorite wallpaper; she even instructs Lenny how Make a good stargazing pie (Mon Lisa retches on the side) and tell her when cinnamon is the one Oliver likes.

When the Woods returned, they found a table full of apple crumbs, cupcake crumbs, and five or six plates of Stargazing Pie.

"Sorry, Mrs. Wood!" Mon Lisa nervously cast a Vanishing Charm on the mess on the table, but something went wrong with the spell, looking up at the fish in the starry sky pie, breaking free from the dough, and doing a tap dance on the table .

Qiu Xiao fell on Rui Yi.

But when the friends left, Ray's smile faded like a tide.She excused herself from being tired and went upstairs to rest early.The Woods thought she was uncomfortable, and asked nervously.After Rye lay down for an hour, he could still hear Mr. Wood's footsteps wandering outside the door, as well as whispers with Mrs. Wood.

Lying in the curtain, Rui Yi looked at the twinkling stars outside the window, and couldn't hold back his tears.

There are already countless such nights, and she has been like this since Trieste left, and she can't be happy no matter what.After being woken up by Fred's scolding, she understood that this was not going to work, so she endured the pain and tried her best to make others think that she was living a happy life.But what is the essence?Only at this moment can she understand.

After all, she couldn't get rid of those nightmares after closing her eyes, just like potions couldn't completely cure the damage caused by the Cruciatus Curse.Rae knew there was going to be a place in her heart to fence in, forever reserved for the lost Trieste.Whether as a loving aunt or as a strong, selfless mother.

It's not that she doesn't love her family anymore, on the contrary, she loves them very much.It's just that, as Fred said, this sudden change of identity made her feel a little embarrassed and painful, and the selfless care of her family made her even more nervous and sad.During the day, he could force a smile on his face, but at night, he only wanted to escape.

Her mind was empty, she just stared blankly at a small black spot outside the window.It might be a stain from today's rain on the window, or a bug outside the window.Rae was more of the latter, as it got bigger and bigger until she spotted what appeared to be a wizard on a broomstick, and she vigilantly grabbed her wand by the bedside, ready to kill him one strike--

The man was getting closer, and Rye saw that he was wearing a fiery red robe and a black black cloak.He was flying fast, his robe fluttering behind him, and he seemed never to be about to brake.Rie gripped her wand tighter, wondering which would be more peaceful to knock down the intruder, the handicap or the stunned.

It wasn't until the man deftly swerved to the brakes when the broomstick was only a few feet away from the window, and lifted his hood to reveal a head of ginger hair, that Rae realized he was an "old acquaintance."

"Fred?!"

She dropped her wand and ran barefoot to the window.Fortunately, she remembered to keep her voice down so as not to wake up Grandma Amanda downstairs.But Fred who appeared outside the window really surprised her, and she had to lower her decibels as much as possible: "Oh, honey, why did you—"

"You were discharged from the hospital today, I always want to come and see you." Fred smirked, greedily looking at his little girlfriend whom he hadn't seen for a few days. "Thank goodness, Rae, you've gained some weight at last."

Rae half-stretched out the window, trying to shake Fred's hand.Fred knowingly turned the broom so that it stopped just beside the window sill, with his knees squarely against the outer wall. "Miss me?" he said in a low voice, and kissed Rae's hand. "I miss you so much, Ray."

Rae squeezed back her lover's warm hand. "Me too." A smile could not be concealed on the face that recovered a little. "You haven't seen me for a long time."

"You know, the shop is too busy." Fred leaned over and kissed Ray's forehead. "Oh, but I know it's no excuse, so I'll come and see you as soon as I can."

"I forgive you." Rey replied playfully. "After all, you still remember that I prefer to say good night to you face to face than the boyfriend in the double-sided mirror."

"Oh," Fred winked at her, "I didn't actually come across the counties just to say good night to you, Rie. It's raining today, but it's a beautiful evening after the rain." , isn't it?"

Rey seemed to feel the excitement all over her body beating, and couldn't help asking: "So what do you think, Mr. Weasley?"

Fred obviously liked the "Mr. Weasley", he moved his neck, as if he was about to move his body to do something big: "Of course, you know, I always have all kinds of good ideas."

"Ha, come on Freddie—"

"Let's elope, Rae."

Rae's round hazel eyes met her lover's in surprise, but she didn't see any hint of a joke in them. "What did you say? Elopement—God, you thought you were in a Victorian drama—"

"I know very well that the current royal family is Queen Elizabeth who reigns," Fred shrugged, grabbing Rey's hand as if he was getting hot as well. "And I mean it, Rae, not a joke."

"Fred, I don't think I'm ready yet... Oh, I mean... Somehow, Somehow..." Rae flustered, she looked around as if she was looking for something.Fred lowered his voice, "Okay, since you're not very willing, then I'll go back—"

"Actually!" Ray held Fred's hand tightly and looked at him eagerly: "I mean, you don't want me to ride a broomstick with you in my pajamas?"

"If you don't mind, we can also choose to Apparate." Fred turned around excitedly, the tips of his ears flushed. "Now, immediately! The wand is coming!"

Fred held Rey's wand firmly in the other hand: "I think you only need a wand. Let's apparate to the Fengya clothing store in Diagon Alley. I remember they are open until eleven o 'clock--"

"Broomsticks," said Rye firmly. "I want to ride a broomstick."

"But--"

Rie snatched his wand and waved it in the air.Her dressing gown and cloak flew out of the closet, and were automatically put on her; other clothes also came out of the closet in a line, and automatically folded in the box opened in the corner.Fred saw by the moonlight that Rui's box had already been stacked with brand new parchment and books needed for vacation homework.

"It looks like you've been prepared for a long time?" Fred felt that he was defeated. "Well, I feel like a fool now?"

"I was planning to go on a trip alone before school started...I'll tell you later." Rui happily shrunk the suitcase down to the size of a handbag, let it fly lightly to the window sill, and then she held out her hand to Fred: "Then we now let's go?"

"Apparition?" Fred raised an eyebrow. "I don't think it's comfortable to carry a box like this and share a broom with two people, it's not gentle enough for your ass—"

"Bah!" Ray blushed. "I've already cast the Ultimate Extending Charm on it—"

"Merlin, that's against the law!"

"Shut up, then you and I have been criminals since the first grade." Rui gave him a reproachful look: "Why are you still standing there? Pull me up."

"I'd still suggest Apparating, Rye."

"If you don't ride a broomstick, what's the point of elopement?"

Fred had to admit that his girlfriend was right. He took the box, tied it firmly to the broom with the conjured rope, and then helped Ray climb up the ledge and then the broom in a thrilling way.

"What will Mom and Dad think if they find out I'm missing tomorrow morning?" Ray murmured, wrapping his arms around Fred's waist before takeoff.

"Miss Wood, I think you should figure out the meaning of the word 'elope' next time before agreeing to me, okay?" Fred replied a little helplessly, but then he put on a characteristic smirk on his face. "Well, to be honest, it's not really an elopement - because Mr. Wood asked me to. Let's go!"

He accelerated suddenly, and the broomstick rushed into the sky.Rae hugged Fred and couldn't help screaming: "You scoundrel, this is too fast!" She completely ignored Fred's words.

"Do you like the Weasley roller coaster, ma'am?" Fred laughed, his voice being blown far and near by the torn air. "Get ready, the next level is - a 180-degree spiral drop!"

"what--"

Rae fell down screaming, which she found exciting and amusing.She never thought there was anything good about riding a broomstick before, but she always liked to ride a roller coaster.Now she knows why, because riding a broomstick used to feel scary and unsafe; the seats on the roller coaster had seat belts.

And now with Fred, she felt absolutely safe.

They rose, turned sharply, and dived hundreds of feet, all the while Rye yelled.Fred was extremely thankful that he had used the Silencing Charm between the two of them early on, otherwise tomorrow's news from the Muggle world would be interesting.

"Where are we going?" Rey asked Fred loudly against the wind, having laughed enough.

"You eloped with me, of course you are going to my house." Fred laughed triumphantly. "Terminus here, ma'am—The Burrow!"

They swooped down on a strangely shaped, small, model-like house on the ground.The dim yellow light in that house was very warm.
