On Christmas afternoon, the snow was a bit heavier. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The sky was darker, but many Christmas lights appeared over Diagon Alley. They are bouncing like lively little stars, showing a dreamy, colorful starry sky in advance.

A young boy with black hair walks through the crowds of Diagon Alley. He wasn't tall, but he carved a gap with his body, moving forward nimbly like a swimming fish.

The petite maiden followed closely behind him, staring at him with envy and hesitation.

Vega had tucked her hood behind her, revealing her shoulder-length iron gray hair. Her eyes are also gray now, and her face looks very well-behaved, revealing an honest expression.

Still dressed in her black robes, she followed Castor like a ghost.

But with that look, it's like a schoolboy who has made a mistake, honestly following the teacher.

Castor was helpless.

He was already somewhat convinced that she was a member of the Scaman family. Because in the occasional casual conversation along the way, he found that Vega knew and liked magical creatures much more than he did.

He really wanted to ask Vega some questions.

For example, the author of "Where Are the Amazing Creatures", Newt. Why Scamman's family is a werewolf. Isn't it the werewolf registry he created?

For example, why does a werewolf have such terrifying power without transformation?

For example, how did her eyes, that faint green glow hide behind the gray eyes?

But he didn't dare ask.

On the one hand, although he invited Vega to shop with him, she has been absent-minded.

Casto could feel his eyes locked on him. He sensed envy and hesitation.

She was envious of herself because she could flexibly control power.

She was hesitating, too, but what was she hesitating about?

She didn't name her as a werewolf, but she should have known that she had noticed it, and she should have known that she didn't care.

On the other hand, it seems that I have learned that girls should not ask about their private affairs.

Casto then learned the lesson of his first phrase, "You're so heavy."

It's a real annoyance, this feeling of unsatisfying curiosity.

.

Castor was annoyed and simply stopped.

Vega didn't stop for a moment, and her head hit Castor's shoulder.

Both of them felt heart-wrenching pain at the same time.

Casto rubbed his left shoulder and turned to look at Vega, who was rubbing his forehead. The crowd passed by on either side of them with great curiosity, and they watched curiously as the children, who had stayed together for Christmas and had no adult to take care of them, came back to their senses and went on with their Christmas.

"I'm sorry." Vega apologized very honestly.

Casto didn't know what to say for a while.

This is the first time he has seen a werewolf, this werewolf not only likes magical beasts, but also reminds passers-by when he runs away, and worries about innocents when no one catches up, and he honestly confesses his identity, and he honestly apologizes when he can't tell whose fault it is.......

This is different from the werewolf described in the book!

"Do you know what Christmas presents girls like?" Castor changed the question with a lighter one.

"I'm sorry." Vega apologized again, "I don't know what normal girls like. ”

Casto was stunned, then looked very understanding.

"Just tell me what you like." He led her to the edge of Diagon Alley, "It's no different. ”

Vega then turned her head to stare at the window in front of her. It was filled with candies of all colors, sizes, and shapes.

Castor's eyebrows furrowed. He wanted to know what a werewolf with a passion for eating candy looked like.

Vega noticed Casto's gaze and turned her head with a blush.

"No, I mean ......"

"Tell the truth." Casto felt like he had found her way.

Vega looked at the boy with a contradictory look.

"I love candy," she said honestly, "but if I could make these magical candies, I wouldn't have to buy them—it would require some knowledge of potions." ”

"Then let's go in." Casto then excitedly grabbed her hand and was about to pull her into the store.

"I don't have much money." She instinctively wanted to resist, but Castor's sudden movements didn't give her enough strength.

She was a little panicked. Because she always carries enough money to go to the store and leave as soon as she buys something, instead of leisurely wandering around the store. If a shopping guide asked her cordially at this time, she would definitely feel very embarrassed.

She wanted to break free, but her strength was not enough, so her pupils unconsciously glowed green.

Castor turned his head. He looked at Vega's somewhat pained face strangely, and quickly let go of his hand.

"Think of it as my Christmas present to you." Castor said, "Well, what about my first Christmas present, I hope you like it." ”

.

Casto walked out of the bustling candy store. Vega carried a red handbag and followed him with her head bowed.

She didn't know why she had been in a group of wizards for so long today. She feared that she would suddenly lose control of her power, hurt others, and reveal her identity - which would cause trouble for her grandfather.

Even if he always kindly says to himself that it's okay, make yourself more confident and experience more.

But today she crashed into the boy's arms, was inexplicably saved by him, spent Christmas with him in a daze, and received gifts from her peers for the first time.

I think it's because of a sense of security. Maybe he can subdue his out-of-control self when he's around - their strength is not much different, and he must still be a wizard - wizards have a way of subduing werewolves.

"Did you go to school at Hogwarts?" Vega took the rare initiative to ask Casto a question - she had just heard some of Casto's comments about the taste of potions, and it seemed to be very professional.

"Nope."

"That's in North America - Ilvermorny?" Vega looked interested, "Isn't it?" It can't be in Africa - Wag Abdul? I'm going there...... Traveled, in addition to astronomy and alchemy, they are very good at self-transformation - your power comes from transformation. And you don't have a wand, and they taught me some magic that doesn't require a wand! ”

It seems that traveling is also one of the interests of this honest little girl, and this is related to Newt. Scaman is similar. According to her, the wand is a European invention that African wizards have used as a useful tool in the last century, yet many spells can be cast with a single finger or gesture - so when the Wag Abdul students are accused of violating the International Secrets Act, this gives them a strong line of defense - "I just waved my hand, I never thought of making his jaw drop".

In addition, at a recent international symposium of Animagus, the-Abdul squad drew a chord of media outlets by demonstrating synchronized transfiguration, which attracted a lot of media – and many seasoned wizards felt threatened by a fourteen-year-old who could turn into elephants and cheetahs at will.

Vega felt a little happy. She was shown off by Casto today, and no matter how honest a person is, she wants to fight back a little.

She also mentions the Enchanted Castle in Brazil, where students are proficient in herbology and magical animal science, at which point she is interrupted.

"No, I'm not eligible for admission," he said, "I can't use magic." ”

Vega's grey eyes widened.

"Impossible," she said, "how can you be with me?" ”

It's not safe. She added in her mind.

She looked around, seeming to find herself standing for the first time in an unarmed crowd without fear - not all of them had the strength to stand up to werewolves.

The boy looked back strangely. They stood under the sign of Floring's cold drink shop – there were plenty of customers here, but not as crowded as elsewhere – and the owner, Florin, sold ice cream on this cold winter day – it was cold on the palate, but warm in the stomach.

Not everyone can accept this strange thing.

But there is always someone who will like it.

"It's okay," Casto said with a smile, "I've been with you for an hour." Also, I'll have to pick out other people's gifts. ”

At this time, he noticed that the hesitation in Vega's eyes slowly disappeared, and she didn't seem to hear his words. At this point, she doesn't seem to be the honest little girl anymore.

She trembled and raised her left hand, which was not in her pocket.

"I'm sorry." Vega said unusually firmly, it was nothing like her weak apology.

She recalls the methods that the Wag-Adu students had secretly taught her to solve some minor problems.

Just in time.

The boy didn't know what she wanted to do, but instinctively felt that she wouldn't hurt him.

"Forget it."

.

Casto felt a strange force rush into him.

It was going in the direction of its own brain, but it was guided to its own heart.

It seems to have become a long-awaited key, opening a small lock.

Something was released.

He vaguely heard a girl in the distance.

There was also a soft sigh.

He fainted.
