Chapter 512: Memories in a Bottle (3)
"Slytherin!"
As the Sorting Hat shouted—
Diana seemed relieved, and then she ran straight in the direction of the Slytherin table with a nervous face, forgetting to even take off her hat.
It wasn't until Professor Herbert Billey shouted her name behind her that she relented, turned around and took off her hat and handed it back to the professor......
Amid the laughter of half of the hall, Diana Greengrass hurriedly avoided the gaze of the more than twenty freshmen in front of her, and turned her head in shame......
At the same time, the old man with blue half-moon glasses sitting in the middle of the rostrum looked at her carefully with some surprise, and was obviously stunned for several seconds—
Soon, however, Headmaster Albus Dumbledore from decades ago went back and talked to Professor Minerva McGonagall, who was still young at the time, as if nothing had just happened.
When Diana arrived at the Slytherin table for the first time, somewhat embarrassed, the Slytherin students cheered for her.
A tall, dark-haired girl stood up and shook her hand...... Vaguely recognizable, she was Draco's mother, Narcissa Black.
"Welcome to Slytherin, dear!" she said gracefully.
......
Once again, the scene shattered into small pieces, and then slowly reassembled back together.
This time, however, the surroundings had become a sworn bow.
Winter is coming, and the snow on the roads has been almost cleared, and there is still a blank of snow in the distance.
In the snow, the direction is easier to identify...... Not far ahead, the entire Greengrass Manor looked a little lonely in the white snow.
Diana Greengrass dragged her heavy suitcase in the direction of Greengrass, leaving two faint scratches on the way.
She didn't seem much older than the last time Jon and Astoria saw her. So, now it looks like her first Christmas break after entering Hogwarts.
"Welcome back, my dear little master!" said the house-elf Emily warmly took her, and then consciously carried the suitcase, which was larger than her size.
"Long time no see, Emily!" Diana said with a grin.
She looked innocent, and there was a lot more color in her eyes than half a year ago...... In this way, it can be said that it is very similar to Astoria.
"How's Alice...... She's okay...... I haven't seen her for half a year, does she think about me every day?" Diana asked with some concern after handing the suitcase to the house-elf.
And the house-elf seemed visibly stunned: "I don't understand what you mean...... My dear little master......"
I asked Alice...... My sister Alice ...... How's she doing?"
"Diana!" Before the house-elf could reply, a slightly indifferent female voice suddenly came from inside the castle, "Are you back?"
"Yes, Mother!" Diana shuddered at first, and then quickly replied.
Then, a few seconds later, the gate of the manor was suddenly opened, and a tall woman walked out of it.
"What are you waiting for, why don't you come in quickly?" she said impatiently, "Emily, carry her luggage back to her room." ”
The sunlight reflected off the snow in the garden, giving Jon and Astoria a glare at them, and they couldn't make out the tall woman's face despite being so close.
Diana followed her with a pitiful look on her face, and walked down the corridor of Greengrass.
Along the way, she seemed to have a very violent psychological swing, and finally asked a little boldly, "How is Alice...... Can she talk to me...... Mother ......"
"What are you talking about?" said the tall woman, somewhat sternly.
"Alice......" Diana replied timidly.
"Who is Alice?" the tall woman asked without hesitation.
"My sister...... Alice...... She ......," Diana stammered.
Once again, she failed to finish her sentence and was interrupted.
"Sister, what are you talking about?" the tall woman looked very angry, "You have been at Hogwarts for half a year, did Dumbledore teach you badly?"
"I'm ......," Diana looked terrified.
"You don't have a sister at all, never!" said the tall woman coldly, "I only have one daughter of yours, Diana." ”
......
Jon only felt Astoria's little hand cold, and he tugged at him tightly.
She's very, very nervous right now.
Once again, the scene in front of me shattered into small pieces -
But just as they were about to regroup again, the process was abruptly interrupted.
"Ouch!" Astoria whispered, and she felt a complete spin and some unsteady footing.
If Jon hadn't been there to hold her, she would have almost fallen to her feet.
"What's going on?" she looked up and glanced at Jon, a little confused.
"Nothing...... It's just that this memory is over. Jon replied unhurriedly, "It's normal for you to do that...... In general, people who use a meditation pot for the first time are prone to such a situation. ”
"Oooh. Astoria nodded incomprehensibly.
She glanced at the strange basin with some reluctance, and whispered, "I wonder what will happen next?"
"You'll know for sure. Jon smiled and touched her little head, "It's just that your mother hasn't given us the rest of the memories yet, but I think it will be soon." ”
As he spoke, Jon waved his wand.
The large basin, which glowed with silver light around it, suddenly flew up to the same cabinet it had been in...... At the same time, the cabinet was locked with a "bang".
He hadn't even taken the memory of Diana Greengrass back into the crystal bottle.
"Honestly, I want to spend more time with you. Jon said gently, "But I'm sorry, I have other things to do later...... I'm going to have to go to the Hog's Head Bar right now, and there's still someone waiting for me. ”
"It's fine. Astoria smiled sweetly, "I'm going back to the Slytherin common room now...... If your mother gives you the memories of the future, remember to ask me to watch it together!"
"That's nature!" Jon nodded expressionlessly.
At the same time, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the cabinet that had just been locked.
"Goodbye, Jon!"
"Goodbye!"
