Asia left the castle in a daze.
She was like a body that had lost its soul. She didn't know what she should do or what she could do.
The look that Freud left on her yesterday made Asia clearly see her future destiny. She was sure that Freud heard what Flint said to her.
No woman can tolerate her fiancé making such remarks to other women, let alone the jealous Freud.
She arrived at the Black Lake. It was still class time, and there were not many students skating and entertaining in the lake. Asia's arrival did not attract anyone's attention.
Walking along the lawn and bypassing the Quidditch pitch, she walked to the place where Hermione and she often gathered.
Asia sat here hugging her knees, staring blankly at the place on the ground that was obviously different from other lands and had brand new soil.
That was when Hermione was digging out the herbs yesterday, she helped to refill them. Hermione also told her to bury them firmly to prevent the snow from melting and water from seeping in and leaving it here again. A hole.
Yesterday's experience is still vivid in his mind, but for Asia now, it seems as long as a century.
She had no intention of asking Hermione to protect her. Even if they could really become the masters of this castle again in the future, the order in the castle still continued to operate according to the rules set by the principal. .
Hermione could protect her outside the castle where others wouldn't notice, but inside the castle it was beyond their reach.
If she kept praying, she believed that Hermione would eventually help her find a way, but even if there was a way in the end, it would be at great risk.
Asia didn't want to see that result. She would rather sacrifice herself to learn about this matter than let it involve more people, whether it was her parents or Hermione, who was now her only friend.
She sat here from morning until noon, and just after lunch time, Hermione's voice sounded behind her.
"Asia?"
Asia did not look back immediately. She simply cleared up the expression on her face and showed the same soft smile every time she came to meet Hermione.
"Good afternoon, Hermione."
The sun shone on her body, and her golden hair reflected the light, making the girl look so beautiful.
"Why are you here so early today?"
Hermione seemed to be deceived by Asia's disguise and didn't find anything wrong with her. She held the small basket used to temporarily store herbs and sat next to Asia.
"I have nothing to do in the castle, so I just sit here casually."
"We can meet in the castle on Christmas Day." Hermione held her hands on the grass, raised her head and looked up at the blue sky, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth unconsciously, "We were still talking about this before we were separated yesterday. Well, it turned out that he had already opened his mouth to me that night."
Asia's face was startled.
"Did you find a dance partner? Who is it?"
"That's what I told you yesterday. Who else could it be? Last night he called me to the driver's seat in front of the carriage and talked a lot. In the end, he managed to find a somewhat romantic excuse to send out the invitation. Originally, I thought he was going to say something like, "Hey, Hermione, you must have nothing to do on Christmas night, right? How about we hook up and go dance in the Great Hall?" But he thought more than I did. It's much stronger. "
Asia was holding her robe with her fingers in a daze. She didn't know why, but when she saw Hermione's expression when she said these words, she felt a sense of envy or a little jealousy in her heart. mood.
But she quickly put this strange feeling out of her mind and blessed her from the bottom of her heart.
"Congratulations on that, Hermione."
"What about you? Asia must be very popular in the castle, right? Have you promised anyone who will dance at the ball? Then I will
We have to pretend that it is the first time we have met. "
Hearing this question, Asia's nose couldn't help but feel a little sore. She lowered her head, not letting Hermione see her face, and forced a smile.
"Many people invited me, but I didn't accept them. You know, I'm afraid of interacting with strangers and I can't dance."
"Then, if I invite Asia to dance, will you accept it?"
Hermione's eyes curved into crescent shapes, and she looked into Asia's eyes with a smile.
Asia had been acting a little dazed today, and when she heard Hermione's words, she became even more absent-minded for a moment.
"You, don't you have a dance partner?"
"Jon will definitely only be able to dance the opening lead dance at most. The rest of the time can of course be at my own disposal."
Asia felt tears welling up in her eyes, but she finally let her hold them back and shook her head in refusal.
"Forget it, I probably won't even go to the auditorium on the day of the dance."
Hermione blinked at her and didn't ask why. Instead, she asked after two seconds of silence as if giving Asia time to think.
"Isn't there something you want to tell me today?"
Being stared at by her like this, Asia's eyes subconsciously avoided her in a panic, and she answered without any hesitation.
"No. Why do you ask that?"
"Because I feel like you're acting a little weird today."
"I was just thinking of an early Christmas present for you."
When Asia said this, she seemed to have made up her mind. She solemnly took off the bracelet she always wore on her wrist and handed it to Hermione.
"I told you, this was a birthday present from my mother, and it's the most precious thing I've ever had. I could tell you liked it Hermione, so I gave it as a Christmas present. Here it is, you must keep it well."
Hermione didn't show much surprise at Asia's sudden gift. She slowly took off the bracelet.
"There are still two weeks until Christmas. Even if you want to give me a Christmas gift, why do you have to give it so many days in advance?"
Asia also had a smile on her face.
"Because the most precious thing I have is this bracelet. I want to give it to you, but I am afraid that I will regret it again when I wait until Christmas, so I just give it to you now, before I can regret it. send out."
After saying that, she seemed to have completely let go of something on her mind. She immediately stood up from the grass and prepared to return to the castle.
"I'm going back. There's no holiday for Christmas, so the professors have added a lot of homework these days. I probably won't have time to come see you again, so don't worry too much if you don't see me for a few days. I I’m just writing fast in the library and catching up on my homework.”
Her smile was soft and sunny, and she was telling Hermione the beauty of her campus life, so that her only friend would not have to worry about things that she would probably never show up again.
Hermione also stood up from the grass. She looked at Asia's smile and didn't speak for the first time. She just stopped the girl when she was about to leave.
"Just wait for me here for five minutes, and then you can leave when I come back."
She warned Asia, then turned around and trotted in the direction of the carriage. Her long chestnut hair was jumping among the snowy woods, like an elf active in the world.
Asia did not take advantage of this time to leave. She knew very well that this was probably the last time she would see Hermione. Even if she had made up her mind, she would still be reluctant to let go.
Hermione did not let her wait long, and she ran back again before even five minutes.
"Since your Christmas gift has been given to me in advance, I won't delay giving it to you until Christmas Day. Take this, just like the bracelet you gave me, I will keep it forever Wear it, you should always bring it with you
Keep it on your body, and don't let others see it. This thing is considered a contraband in the castle, so you must keep it well. "
Asia looked at the crimson feather handed to her by Hermione and did not recognize what it was.
But she didn't care what the value of this feather was. As long as it was given to her by Hermione, she would always keep it with her.
Just like Hermione held her bracelet without hesitation, Asia did not hesitate at all when accepting the feather. She put the feather into the inner pocket of her robe and said seriously.
[In view of the general environment,
"I will always carry it with me, always carry it with me!"
After making the promise, she did not stay any longer. She waved to Hermione and trotted away in the direction of Hogwarts Castle.
"Goodbye, Hermione."
Hermione also waved at the girl's back. She already had the white bracelets on her hands, and her voice was very soft, as if she was blessing the wind that was blowing away.
"Goodbye, Asia."
...
For two whole days, Asia was in peace.
Just like the expression that Freud left on her before was actually an illusion. The so-called revenge was all she thought too much about. Even if there was great hatred between students, it could not involve human lives. .
However, in the evening when Asiya had such a lucky idea in her mind, when she was about to go to the auditorium to have lunch, someone from behind used a stun spell to knock her out.
She has been very careful these days. Even if she doesn't have many friends in school, she will stick close to her classmates whenever she leaves the dormitory and goes out for activities.
But even so, Asia was attacked and dragged away by Freud and his gang that evening in front of two female classmates around her.
Before leaving, Freud only left one sentence with a grim expression.
"If anyone asks, you'd better say you didn't see her at all this afternoon, otherwise you should know the consequences."
The two pure-blood girls just looked at her in fear, not knowing whether to nod or shake their heads.
Freud seemed not to care at all how they would react. After finishing her threats, she left with her two men who were holding Asia's arms.
When Asia woke up, she found that she had been taken to an abandoned Potions classroom.
Although the tables, chairs and benches were thrown away in a mess, there were obvious signs that they had been sorted before. Freund had already planned it. The calmness these days was just her doing some preparation work.
"I've given you many opportunities, Connair."
Freud's face was frighteningly calm. She was holding a bottle of blood-red potion in her hand, and she was pouring the blood-like liquid in the bottle onto the ground while she was talking to Asia.
Asia's body was controlled by a binding spell and she was placed in the middle of the classroom. There were many strange magic words around her.
"You are so slick. You have escaped from me many times before, but this also gives me time to prepare. Without these preparations, the chance of successfully placing a curse on you is too small. Now At least it increases the probability of success by 30%, which is great, right? It’s the fate you choose to bear.”
Even though he was mentally prepared, when he actually had to face such a scene, Asiya's face still showed a deathly paleness.
"You heard that day, Miss Freund, I already refused, I didn't mean to do that, I didn't..."
"I never said it was your fault, Connair. What I said was that you were not at fault, I was not at fault, Flint was not at fault, and everyone was not at fault, but now something happened If there is a problem, then there is no point in looking for whose fault it is, we can just deal with the problem itself."
The red liquid soaked the carved figures on the ground
When the magic text came, Freund calmly raised his head and looked at Asia.
"We all want to solve this problem, so you should be happy to do me this favor. As long as you get rid of this problem so that Flint will never be obsessed with you again, that will be good for all of us, right? ? And all you have to pay is to become a blood-cursed orc."
Hearing the term blood-cursed orc, Asia's eyes visibly tightened.
After hearing this curse from Freud for the first time, she searched a lot of information in the library and learned what kind of effect this vicious curse had.
It can be said that if she was burdened with such a thing, she would rather die!
"boom!"
Freund threw away the empty potion bottle in her hand, raised the wand in her hand, and pointed the tip of the wand at Asia's forehead.
"You don't need to sacrifice your life. As long as you become that kind of monster, Flint will definitely not spend his attention on you anymore. He will love me wholeheartedly. What a perfect solution, right, Kang Miss Ned!"
