48 Chapter 48
The house-elf Jober of the Ingtang Tris family carefully picked up the silver tray, on which it had carefully prepared afternoon tea, and it hoped that the young lady would stop for at least a cup of tea, she had not been out of the bedroom for three months.
It didn't knock on the door, and for three months, Mademoiselle barely said a word to it. She seemed to be fascinated by an old notebook, and was reluctant to leave it no matter what.
It walked into the young lady's bedroom with a silver tray and was pleasantly surprised to find that she was not sitting at the table as before. When it saw a figure in the bedroom, it immediately walked in and said, "Miss, would you like a cup of tea?" And the pudding petit you like ......"
Crash!
The silver tray in its hand slammed into the floor.
It was lying on her bed with her clothes closed, and it remembered that the bed was still made by the old master Ingtang Tris, who was specially ordered for the little princess of the Ingtang Tris family in the year she was born.
As a wizard's house-bred elf who had served the Ingdontris family for generations, it had seen its master lying in bed like this more than once.
"Miss......" Jobber threw himself on the side of the bed, tears pouring out of his ping-pong ball-sized eyes, which made it look ugly. It didn't know what to do, as if it didn't dare touch Natme lying on the bed, and she lay there like that, clasping her hands on her abdomen, as if she were asleep.
A phanther emerges out of nowhere, wearing black Hogwarts robes and a silver prefect badge. He was very handsome and had a Nat Mé wand in his hand.
"Joe." His name is Elf.
Jober was startled, it didn't know there was anyone else here, but when it saw the phantom, it obviously thought it was dreaming.
Tom ...... Master? The elf was confused, it was obvious that it knew this man, but that was a few years ago, and the man should have grown up and graduated from Hogwarts.
"Natme gave you to me." Sixth-year Tom, he played with Natme's wand with both hands, his eyes swept from the elf to this room, and only gave alms to Natme on the lying bed and frowned slightly: "And the entire Ingdontris family." ”
Jobber's eyes widened in shock, his loyalty to the Ingdontris family made it reluctant to become someone else's house-elf, but it didn't dare to resist out of respect for Natmay—it knew full well how much its mistress was infatuated with the young witch.
Tom glanced at Jober with contempt in the shadow, of course he could see what was going on in the elf's head, but it was just a lowly creature that could not even control his own life, and he didn't have to care about what it thought.
"Clean up." He went out after saying this, and before he left, Jober saw that he had taken an old notebook that Miss had put in her hand—the same one that Miss had loved before.
Ten minutes later, Qiao Bo realized that he was referring to the body of the young lady lying there.
At Paul's house in London, a brown barn owl flew over and landed on the kitchen table, it was to deliver the daily newspaper The Prophet. Pauss had subscribed to the newspaper since Tom's funeral, and she thought it was important to learn about what was going on in the wizarding world, such as the story of a self-proclaimed Dark Lord guy rising up and his group of Death Eaters followers. To her delight, the headlines for the past five months have been about the Minister of Magic's glorious story of saving the unemployment rate.
Great, she'd rather watch the Minister of Magic brag on the front page than see a madman who swears he can't get along with Muggles jump out.
In the past few months, she has another job, and she has begun to pay attention to the interesting facts about the wizarding nobility on the third and fourth editions. Like the Black family Arcturus - she always felt that this guy had never heard the name before, and the Malfoy family - aha! She knows the last name! But who is Abraxus?
She was always anxious to tell the secrets of these aristocratic clubs playing cards or smoking rooms, or where they were doing business, and what they were doing, and what they were looking for, and sometimes even she didn't know what she was expecting to see.
- Maybe she's afraid that the witch will be mentioned above.
She had to admit that the wizarding family of Ingdontris had indeed withdrawn from the wizarding world for a long time, and among the pile of wizarding books she bought, only one of the books "The Past Six Hundred Years" found the name of the Ingdontris family, because a witch of that generation in their family cursed a little queen.
- So, if something really happens, it must be big news.
This made Both a little uneasy. Even if she can fool Ingdontris, she may not be able to fool all wizards. Even one of them doubting the diary would cause her trouble.
She couldn't tell Dumbledore about it, but she didn't know exactly when, and if he found out after Natme died, she feared he would send her to Azkaban. It's too early, and I'm afraid he'll stop it—that's for sure.
- Fortunately, there is no need to rush this matter too much.
She looked at the calendar. It's only been three months, and at least half a year later, she'll be back to worry about it. Now, she wanted to meet with Red a few more times. She found that when Red knew that she would not stop him from learning magic at all, he refused to pretend to be a good child in front of her at all, and he refused to go home because he had so much time in the countryside to learn magic and practice spells.
Paose had warned him that the Ministry of Magic would find out if he used magic in Muggle places, but Red was not at all afraid, and he said to her almost like an ignorant person: 'You don't know magic, Mom, I won't get caught, I know how to get away from them.' ’
She couldn't afford to find out that Red, like Tom, both father and son looked down on Muggles without magic, thinking she should know nothing about it. So he didn't want to accept what she taught him in this regard. When he saw her, he usually only said two words:
'I'm all right. Did you bring me a magic book? ’
Is this how parents feel when their children grow up? Pauss almost felt lonely, she felt that her son didn't want her anymore.
As a result, Rhett's reaction was: 'Mom, don't be coquettish! Then he came up and hugged her and gave her a kiss.
It's a strange and fun feeling to let my son coax.
She felt like Rhett was going to boarding school, so she didn't live at home. And the family treated him very well and loved him very much, which also reassured her a lot.
She used to use the plaid handkerchief she had bought for him in Diagon Alley to bring him food, because she was worried that he wouldn't be able to eat there. Cakes, pies, sandwiches, and when she found out that he was interested in snacks, she sent him a lot of sweets, puddings, and chocolates, and later she learned that most of them had been used by him to bribe the other children in the village, who were now obedient to him and helped him lie in front of adults.
- Paoss could only warn him not to use those children to practice spells, she was afraid he would do that!
Luckily, Red is a little smarter than Tom. He sighed helplessly and said, 'Mom, I'm not going to do that. How do you think I'm going to be that stupid? Even if I were to do this, I wouldn't be looking for people from this village. ’
Of course I wouldn't be able to find the neighborhood, or pass by, so that no one would find me." He shook his little head solemnly.
Hou Baosi could only order him sternly: 'You can't do this!' Or I'm going to spank you! ’
Red just nodded perfunctorily.
She was helpless to find that Red had begun to blatantly dismiss her, and even if she threatened to beat him, she was not afraid at all, as if she was sure that she would not be able to do it.
- Next time, next time, if he does something wrong, she will definitely slap him without mercy!
Ross cheered herself up.
It's sad that she could shoot Tom three times and be reluctant to hit his son.
It's Christmas in the blink of an eye, and she's going to let Red come back. She paid for a train ticket for the plumber couple, and invited them to London for Christmas on the pretext that she had stayed with the nuns and priests at their home last time.
She arranged for the plumber couple to stay in a nearby hotel, and as for little Rhett, she took him home for a few days on the pretext that he was a child.
This made her so excited that she cleaned her house several times, bought a lot of food, bought a lot of gifts for Red, and she almost emptied Diagon Alley.
That afternoon, she went to the train station to pick them up. Seeing the three of them get off the train, she immediately went up, first picked up Rhett and kissed him fiercely, and then hugged the old couple warmly.
"You're welcome!" She said.
The old couple was also very happy, they were a little overwhelmed: "Your invitation is really, really surprised us, it was just a small favor." We thank you very much! The old woman hurriedly put down her luggage, and came up and hugged her hard.
"Before they got on the train, they thought it was just a joke," Rhett whispered. ”
Pauss took them to the hotel in a hospital car, then took them to the hospital and then to the church to see the priest. He took them home and gave them dinner.
"It's already nine o'clock." Ross said she brought a sumptuous refreshment.
"Oh, it's time for us to take our leave." The old woman immediately stood up and went to grab her coat and handbag.
"I'm very sorry, because I'm the only one in the house, so it's not very convenient." ”
"Of course, of course, we can totally understand. You have been so good to us, please don't worry, the hostel room is very comfortable. The old woman was troublesome with her husband, evidently because there was a man among the guests, and it was inconvenient for the poor widow to invite them to sit down.
Paoth glanced at Red, who immediately yawned loudly and slowly went to get his coat.
She said to the old couple, "It's so late, I still have a room here, so why don't you let the child stay here." ”
Red looked at the couple pitifully.
Of course the old woman knew that it was good, it was cold outside, and it was too late. She was embarrassed to say, "It's too much trouble for you, you've already helped us a lot." "After going to the church hospital today, she knew that the widow paid for their train tickets and hotel fares.
"Please don't say that. We are God's people. "And I'm very fond of children." ”
The old couple got into the car and went to the hotel, which of course was paid for by Bowsie. When she sends them back home, she finds that Red has run off to the bathroom, and of course he will use the wizard's bath. Hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Bao Sihuan brought him pajamas, and then said outside the door: "Dear, do you want me to help?" ”
There was a moment of silence in the bathroom, and then Red impatiently said, "Mom, I've grown up!" ”
"Okay, okay." Paucus had no choice but to leave and go to the kitchen to boil milk for him.
Half an hour later, Rhett's scent was pouring out, and he was wearing the pajamas that Rose had bought for him wizard children's pajamas, with fawns running around on them. Pauci came over with hot milk, squatted in front of him and teased the fawn on his pajamas, and said, "Do you like it?" ”
Red sighed, took the milk from her hand and drank it in one gulp, and said, "Mom, I'm not a child anymore. Then he handed her the cup, and she kissed it lightly on the cheek: "I know you may be a little lost, many parents and children grow up like this." But don't worry, I will always be your son. ”
Paus's heart was a little gloomy just now, and the sun was shining again! She ignored the milk stains on his face, and hugged him twice in the living room.
Red quietly and obediently let her into the bedroom, but the expression on his face was full of helpless adult connivance, as if he was an adult and Baosi was a child.
"Like it? Do you like it? Pointing to the room that had been prepared for him, she said that the bed, the wallpaper, the desk, and the bookcase, which he had never used, had been preparing for him for a long time.
"Like, like." Red pulled the quilt and lay down, covered it and looked at Baosi, "Good night, Mommy." ”
Baosi stood still in front of his bed for a long time, and then sat down with a smile: "Baby, do you want your mother to sleep with you?" She looked at him expectantly. She really didn't want to leave her son.
Red seemed to want to refuse, but in the end he nodded and said, "...... All right. ”
Rose flew to take a shower, change into her pajamas, check the doors and windows, and then returned to here. Red was still waiting for her.
She lay happily next to Red, and the magic bed stretched again. She hugged little Rhett, and he yawned in her arms.
"Sleep, my darling."
She kissed him lightly on the forehead, tucked the corners of the quilt, and fell asleep.
