The young master of the Malfoy family has been angry since last night - this situation did not improve at all until he saw a lot of presents on Christmas morning. Not only that, he was not even in the mood to open the presents and just ordered the family to The elf put the gifts in batches and opened them when he had time.
That's not all.
"Oh my god," Pansy arrived with her parents as promised in the morning. After all, Christmas visits have always been an indispensable social opportunity for nobles. The girl looked at the girl sitting on the seat with a stinking face in dissatisfaction. , "Why didn't you wear the cufflinks I gave you? I asked about your dress tonight. It will match well."
"Go away, leave me alone, Pansy." Without raising his head, as if the book on his lap looked better than Pansy, he hissed a warning, "I have no intention of forgiving you yet."
"Just for that Harry Xavier?!" Pansy said in disbelief, feeling aggrieved and angry at the mention of the name, "You were never like this before!"
"It's not up to you to decide what I look like." He didn't bother to argue with her anymore. He had had enough of Pansy in the past half month. "You can stand here now and I have given you enough face - between you So committed and not trying to make me look bad," he said without mercy.
The girl's face suddenly turned pale: "No, it's not like that. You know I am doing it all for you -"
"You want to seriously hurt my best friend because of me?" He asked coldly, "Oh, yes, I forgot, you didn't accomplish this, so you think you are fine, right? I tell you, Pansy, this isn’t over yet.”
"Good morning, good morning, pansy."
Bise walked into the courtyard in the center of the garden from another road. He was wearing a black shirt, walking briskly and speaking in a relaxed tone, as if he hadn't seen Pansy's angry face. "What a beautiful weather, I thought it would continue today." It’s snowing.”
"Go away, Bise," Pansy hissed this time, "It's none of your business here."
"It hurts my heart so much when you say that, my dear," Bise said with a smile, "and I just came to satisfy my curiosity——, I heard that you bought the last product produced by the Noklinland Alchemy Shop this year. A pair of double-sided mirrors? I heard that they are a pair of expensive and well-made new products. I wonder if I will have the honor to open my eyes? "
"You are really well informed," he said lazily, "but unfortunately, even if you have this honor, you can only see a handful of them now."
"My mother has always wanted to buy a pair of double-sided mirrors, but unfortunately there has been very little output on the market. So, the other one must have been given away as a gift," as if she didn't see Pansy's dark face, bise He said cheerfully, "Ah ha, I think I can guess where the other one is - I thought your friendship ended half a month ago."
"This joke is not funny, Bise." He immediately retorted, "I don't see the accuracy of what you said."
"Okay, okay -" Bise said, "So, you are still friends? Well, you did send the double-sided mirror, right? What did Xavier give you in return?" He stretched out his hand to knock on himself With the tea cup in front of me, I got myself a cup of milk tea and asked with a smile, "I don't think you would be stingy enough to share the answer with us."
For a fraction of a second, he blocked his words. He didn't bother with the pile of gifts as soon as he got up, because when he sent the double-sided mirror last night, he also sent a red shouting letter, which caused him to still feel unhappy but a little nervous.
Harry Xavier's good temper is not bottomless, but his rare bad temper is very terrifying. He knows this better than anyone else. He saw with his own eyes that Harry easily wiped out Wormtail and wanted to touch his nose to his toes. The two of them The tall ice bottle does not look like the work of an ordinary first grader.
But so what! Is Malfoy afraid of him? Ha, what a joke!
Then he answered bsie's question in the next second.
"I haven't taken it apart yet," he said flatly, "but that's certainly not a problem - I trust his taste."
"Oh, of course I believe it," Bise nodded, "I also received his Christmas gift this morning - a very decent stationery set. It seems that growing up in the Muggle world has not affected his taste. "
He expressed his shock with his eyes.
"He gave you a gift?" He raised his voice, and the voice was full of doubt and dissatisfaction, "He--why did he give you a gift?"
"Since when have you become so friendly, Bise," Pansy said sourly, "Why do you all like to associate with him? Look at his rustic glasses, I think your appreciation of his taste is unnecessary -"
It is because of people like you and people like Xavier that they are popular. Bise sneered in his heart and said, "I just think that he is a person worth dating - and he is no worse than us, is he?"
"The day you beat him down, Pansy," said impatiently, "you will be able to judge my friends."
Pansy was so angry that she lost her voice - it was very obvious that she couldn't beat Xavier, she couldn't even beat Bise.
"You reminded me, Pansy," Bise said, "Why don't you ask Professor Snape for a vision correction potion for your friend? Although it is difficult to brew, I believe that for Professor Snape, this The magic potion just takes a little time."
"That's not effective. Should I lament that you have such a lack of common sense? And why are you so interested in him." Naturally, she was wary of his hospitality. "I warn you, if you dare to make any decisions about him, you will Be prepared to bear the price of my anger! And he is not someone you can make plans for!"
"No, no, no, no, how could I have such an idea?" Bise shook his finger and said mysteriously, "Just, don't tell me you didn't notice what a pair of charming green eyes he has - don't you want to Would you mind taking off those rustic glasses and taking a look?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "No."
But somewhere in his heart was shaking silently.
When his name was called, R was admiring several photos.
Maybe behavior can be contagious. Just yesterday, Harry's godfather read several of Harry's photo albums while crying. Today, R saw several photos that Charles and Erik took out and put into the photo frames. Some of the photos were The protagonist was very young at the time and looked very playful.
Just like the picture in his hand - the five-year-old child is lying next to the baby lying on the cushion like a cute guard dog, holding a soft toy in his hand. He looks so cute, and the latter has no idea Love, sleeping soundly and sweetly, with a thin layer of honey-colored fetal hair completely invisible, but the five-year-old boy's bird's nest hair has begun to show its current size.
Behind him, the little girl was giggling and running through every corner of the house, while the boy was running behind her like an eagle chasing his cub, working hard but not daring to rush too hastily. In the end, the two of them fell to the ground together. On the unfavorable sofa, the little girl threw herself on the boy's belly, laughing and squeezing him. The one underneath was calling Peter to save him from this terrible beauty trap.
"Oh my God, Nina -" Harry laughed wildly and shouted while being tickled by the little girl, "Peter, help me!"
"Let me see where this elf comes from? Oh, okay girl, let your knight go, let's play something else?"
So Peter held the little girl's armpits like he was holding Harry, picked her up - and then put her on his shoulders. The little girl hugged Peter's head happily, and the latter took her around a few times, until all the braids that Harry had braided for her in the morning fell apart, and then he put her down.
"Huh, look at this place." Peter glanced at the spacious and fully equipped living room and spread his hands, "What is the use of this place? You don't plan to stay there permanently anyway."
"Well - anyway, this is Uncle Erik and Nina's home," Harry was pulled up from the sofa, "Well, even I have to say, Uncle Erik will never give up controlling my dad to do anything like this. It's not the right thing to do."
r clicked his tongue in his heart and whistled: "But it still looks like an inhabited home. I mean, you can see there are even picture frames."
It’s for two people. I looked through the photos of the young team members and the current children in just one minute. My impression is that the fence between the two houses and the extra space are all redundant. , they should open up the house and let Nina have a huge backyard to feed pigeons and raise deer.
"Because Emma wants to be taken to the church from here." Harry took off his slippers, huddled up on the sofa and said, "Her plan is to escape from home at twelve noon, and then let everyone in her family think The wedding is the day after tomorrow, and finally, tomorrow, she will be picked up from here, and she has already made an agreement with her husband. "
That is why, after breakfast, three minors who were not busy were sent into the house - they were given the important task of cleaning and decorating the room.
For such a large house to be decorated and cleaned by an adult young man and two children, it may seem like child abuse, but this is completely fine in front of wizards and mutants. Harry even has a wand in his hand——Sirius He wished he could spoil his godson. It was too easy for the head of the Bck family to find a second-hand wand.
And packing things quickly was too easy for Peter.
As for Nina? She was given the great task of putting the pictures into frames.
The little girl put one photo after another into the cartoon photo frames she personally selected, and even rescued a few special ones from her hands in time - such as two men lying on the same big red bed, or having a bachelor party. These kind of photos taken by the friend - these are really not what little girls should see. May God oh no, this old man should not be safe, then may Charles bless his little sister's pure world.
"I saw the wedding dress that arrived. How should a woman walk in it?" Peter hugged Nina and said, "God knows if it's a curtain or a skirt! The skirt is so long that it can mop the floor clean!"
"Wedding dresses all look like this," Harry said with experience. He was cute, and many people in his community with few relatives liked to use Harry to be a cute flower girl when they got married. He also performed well in the school choir. The teacher’s experience in supporting weddings, “There are many layers of fabrics and yarns, countless laces, and the skirt is long and big, and sometimes it weighs more than a dog. But it is really beautiful. Most of the time, a bride is also I’ll only wear the wedding dress once, so it’s okay to have a little trouble, right?”
At this time, the little girl climbed down from Peter, held her hair rope, and said pitifully: "Harry, my hair has fallen out."
If it weren't for her flushed face with excitement, Harry would probably have thought she was depressed.
"It's okay, I can help you comb it again." Harry patted the place next to him, and the little girl immediately sat up happily with her back to him, just like a cat who sat obediently after hearing that there was fresh dried fish, "Okay girl."
While he turned an apple on the table into a comb and used it to comb Nina's hair, he asked Peter: "I remember we still have purchasing tasks. Where is the list? Is it at Dad's place?"
"No, he won't give it to me." Peter replied quickly, taking out a piece of paper in his hand, "I can sort them out in a few seconds, just wait for me -"
"No, no, no, wait a minute," Harry quickly stopped, "Why don't we take a walk and buy everything?"
In his heart, he wants Nier to get along with him more, and R is still unwilling to recognize Eric, and he dare not tell Nina this, but it is obvious that R likes his little sister, maybe because of blood, Nina is also very close to her. Peter, but her favorite was Harry, which made Harry feel quite embarrassed, as if he had taken something from someone else's house. And Harry knew that once he went to school, he would no longer be able to come and play so legitimately.
R's feeling towards Erik was like Harry facing Sirius - he wanted to get close, but he still instinctively took a few steps back to keep his distance, for fear that the next step would mess everything up.
Even so, Harry still hopes that Peter can at least miss Peter a little more, at least feel a little more about Eric, and feel a little more about this family. He is undoubtedly a very good son and brother. From a selfish point of view, Harry also welcomes him. Such a big brother lives next door. Since Erik and Charles are so close to each other, this relationship also makes him and Peter closer. Not to mention that Harry's middle name comes from Peter's father, which is not very special. Close relatives and friends would not name their children like this.
When he and Peter visited the new house, they also talked about the room issues with him. For example, if Peter was the owner of a certain room here, he would have to share his pile of CDs and twinkies (Harry was lucky enough to share them with him, The strange thing is that he doesn't think it is very delicious, but Peter likes it very much) where to put it, what kind of flowers to change if he wants to change the style, and how many flowers to plant in the yard. He also said that he would get a big one for Nina. There is a place to play with animals. Once the youngest sister walks on the street, all the pets will circle around her feet obediently. And as long as she wants, birds, cats and dogs will come to the yard to look for her. She plays.
Harry agreed - even the golden eagles were extremely well-behaved in front of Nina, let alone other ordinary animals.
One day this ability, or rather nature, will make Nina's animal world bigger and bigger.
"Do you really want to take your time to buy things?" Peter looked impatient. "There are not many things on the list. I can solve it in ten seconds."
"I want to go to the supermarket." At this time, Harry was glad that he was thick-skinned, and his smile would not even waver when he was cheating. "I haven't been there for a long time. r——Just stay with me, you With Nina."
As he spoke, he moved his hands quickly and tied Nina's pigtails while he was talking.
r could only shrug and nodded in agreement - who said he couldn't refute Harry's request?
That's what a good brother does, and he always responds to requests, right?
He sighed and was finally pulled out of the door by Harry. Nina liked shopping very much. The little girl held one hand and walked forward happily on her little leather shoes, and asked: "Can we have pudding tonight?" "
"Of course." Harry raised his head and handed the list back to Peter, who was looking at a house opposite with his head raised, "What are you looking at?"
"You seem to have a new neighbor," Peter said. "I saw the moving car driving away - who do you think it could be?"
Harry was surprised: "Isn't the house opposite always empty?"
r pointed out to him a window that was lit but not obvious: "No, someone lives in it now."
If the atmosphere at the house next door is very harmonious, the atmosphere at Xavier's house here is like an Ice Age, or extremely awkward.
If you want to ask why this is, then Erik can only answer - because Emmaforst is a woman who is always good at creating atmosphere and destroying it.
In the first half hour, she was still showing off her wedding ring, her wedding cake, her wedding dress, her husband - a man wearing glasses and looking a little pale, although he felt uncomfortable sitting among a group of mutants. Extremely uneasy, but who is charles? Under Charles's initiative to talk, Emma's husband completely relaxed after a while, and when it came to science, he wished he had met Charles a few years earlier.
Erik sat next to Charles, trying hard to maintain a decent expression, but his smile was still stiff. He couldn't understand where Emma found such a weird husband as a husband - a scientist who believed in God and had a medical license. Can you believe it?
In comparison, Emma and her husband are simply products of two worlds, and they may not even go to the same place after death.
But what is obvious is that Emma's husband loves her very much. His eyes are not on his wife all the time, but he pays attention to every little move she makes. He has a clumsy mouth and does not praise her clothes and beauty, but treats Erik and Charles with the most formal etiquette, even though he himself is a The eldest young man is not arrogant, and he doesn't even have the slightest contempt for his wife's friends. He was even a little nervous when talking to Erik, and almost stuttered when he spoke, just because Emma said he would be the one to accompany her on the red carpet. People are her best friends.
A is undoubtedly a very beautiful woman, but beauty cannot capture everything, and neither can interests. Since Emma's husband is a blind date, Erik can't help but worry about points. If it was just about profit or marriage, Erik firmly believed that he would never reach this point.
Whether a person loves another person can sometimes be seen at a glance.
Since the two parties got along very harmoniously, the atmosphere was very good. When Emma's husband was called home by a phone call to try on a suit, Emma touched her ring and asked seemingly casually: "So, have you slept with each other yet?" ?”
puff----
Although he was very rude, Charles still squirted out the black tea he just drank. Erik called Charles and patted him on the back to prevent him from choking. He glared at Emma, the bride-to-be, with a fierce look.
The harmonious atmosphere was shattered, and the embarrassment spread like air conditioning.
"What?" Charles said, "Excuse me - what did you say just now, Emma?"
"I said, have you slept together?" Emma seemed not to notice the other's surprise at all, "Also, why don't you live together? What's the use of the house next door?"
"Who told you that?" Erik was a little annoyed, "Why do you care about everything?"
"Can't I still know that my boss is in love?" Emma sneered, "What did you tell me back then? Friends?" She seemed to think the word was so funny, so she sneered again, "Friends. Dear friend."
Erik felt as if he had been slapped on the face, and it was burning with pain. He said angrily: "What's the hindrance to this?"
"We are indeed close friends," Charles responded generously, holding Erik's hand and smiling, "but our relationship has indeed developed recently."
"Such as falling in love." Emma nodded with a 'this is a joke' expression on her face.
"For example, we think, 'We are not young anymore, it's time for us to fall in love.' Yes, that's the way it is, Emma." Charles said this, and looked at each other with Erik, but it was just a gentle look, and the latter felt that The angry heart immediately calmed down.
After all, they are now - lovers who are blatantly in love.
They are lovers.
When he thought about this, Erik couldn't help but be filled with desire and praise for life. All negative emotions could not capture him at this time, and there was only sweetness in his heart.
"Yes, Emma, we are in a relationship," Erik turned to Emma and said forcefully, "What's wrong with this? I know you've always wanted to see this - what else are you dissatisfied with?"
"Of course - haven't you told your children about this yet?" Emma raised her hands to show her innocence, "Don't get me wrong, this is what someone asked me to ask, Erik, your daughter is six years old this year, and Charles' son is ten years old. One year old, how are you going to explain this to them?"
"I don't see the difficulty," Erik said. "They've always had a good relationship."
a showed a 'you are an idiot' expression.
"Don't contradict me yet - but they will eventually become real brothers and sisters." Emma said slowly, "How are you going to explain to them that 'you are in love'? Nina is only six years old and doesn't understand this. Charles, your son But he is already eleven years old, and this is a sensitive age. If you don’t deal with it properly, I guarantee that things will get worse. You don’t want to think that something is wrong with your sweetheart, do you, Charles?”
Erik's heart lifted with these words.
What a said is not wrong. Nina is still young, has a very quick receptivity, and is very open-minded, but Harry is different. Just from their previous interactions, Erik can also know that he is a smart enough, but sensitive child, and there is no doubt that he , is Charles's sweetheart.
"Let me tell you, I have more than one darling." Charles was very relaxed, as if this was not a problem at all. "There is no need to worry about you, Emma."
a raised his eyebrows and looked into the other person's blue eyes.
"Maybe he won't accept two men being together."
"He's a good kid," Charles said. "If he doesn't, then he just needs a little time to accept it, and I'm his dad, and I can make the final decision here - we will only be blessed by my son, Maybe he will be happier than us, he has always liked Erik and Nina."
"Why?" Emma nodded her red lips and asked thoughtfully, "Are you really so sure?"
"That's because it's not a bad thing, Emma."
Charles' gentle words were as light as feathers at that moment, brushing against Erik's ears. It was just a gentle stroke, but Erik felt that his heart had been taken away.
"When one person falls in love with another person, it is always the best thing in the world."
