Chapter 182: The Garden at Night
Under the vast starry sky, the boy and girl sat side by side on the stone bench, the mist splashed by the fountain filled the surroundings, the deep blue light emitted by the fireflies pierced the dark night, the faint fragrance of lavender came from the air, and the silent winter night seemed to be like a fairy dream.
Autumn looked up at the stars in the sky, with a sweet smile in his bright eyes, "Mr. Augustus." ”
"What's wrong?" Augustus had doubts on his face.
Above the sky, a meteor streaked by, and the light as bright as fireworks was dazzling.
"Let's make a wish." Autumn's delicate face showed a childlike innocent smile.
Augustus chuckled slightly, but remained silent.
With a pious look on her face, Qiu lowered her head, her cheeks covered by long green silks, and under the stars in the sky, the girl bowed her head solemnly and prayed.
"Do you want to know what I wished?" Autumn turned to look at Augustus, a smile on her lips.
Before Augustus could speak, a touch of warmth appeared in Qiu's eyes, like the clear water waves of autumn, "There will be you in every wish you make." ”
"If only time could be frozen in this moment forever, we can sit together until we are old."
Augustus listened to the girl's earnest prayer, looked at her serious face, and his silver pupils flashed one after another, as if he remembered that year, in that time and space, under the parallel starry sky, there was also such a girl, who proudly said to him that they would be together forever, and never again separated, until the end of the world. It's a pity that some things, some people, no matter how profound they are, can't let go, have long been blurred in memory, precipitated in time, and can no longer be grasped.
Shaking his head slightly, shaking his memory into pieces, a trace of sigh appeared on the corner of Augustus's mouth, "The passing years are fleeting, the white clouds and dogs, even if the earth is desolate, it is only a moment between the fingers. Why be persistent. ”
Qiu propped his hand on the stone bench, and the green silk was blown down on Augustus's shoulder, looking at the stars in the sky, "Actually, in this world, everyone is an island, can be together, side by side looking up at the starry sky, if there is only one moment left in life, then, I will accompany you to see the starry sky at this moment." ”
In the middle of heaven and earth, only two figures remained, quietly gazing at the starry night.
At night, Harry and Ron strolled through the gardens.
"It doesn't matter Parvati, when you and I came out, she was obviously not very happy." Ron asked with a languid sigh.
"You didn't even dance, so you left Padma aside, still worried about how you would explain to her after tonight." Harry asked listlessly.
Ron muttered, "How am I going to go on stage in this dress, look at these laces, Malfoy is right, this style is indeed very popular in the last century." ”
"What's more, you didn't see Hermione's smug appearance tonight, openly throwing herself into the arms of the Durmstrang Warriors, and to be fair, how is this kind of behavior different from selling friends for glory?"
Harry glanced at Ron in surprise, "You're not going to give up your bed to Krum to sleep on his own camp bed, you can do anything like that, Hermione is just a dance partner for him all night." ”
Ron's face flushed, "How can these two things be compared to each other, I just simply admire his Quidditch skills, Hermione is simply collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country." ”
Harry shook his head helplessly, as soon as Hermione was mentioned, Ron was completely like a bull carried away by anger, and it was really difficult to communicate.
"As soon as I saw you, I understood in my heart." He said in a strangely hoarse voice.
Harry and Ron froze. It seems that this scene is something they should not be disturbed about.
Ron pulled Harry into the shadows deeper behind the reindeer.
"What do you understand, Hagrid?" Madame Maxim asked, a ho-ho in her deep voice.
Harry really didn't want to hear it anymore. He knew that Hagrid would hate eavesdropping on the situation—he would plug his ears with his hands and buzz loudly in his mouth if he could, but that wasn't appropriate. He forced himself to take an interest in a beetle crawling on the back of a reindeer, but the beetle wasn't that funny, and Hagrid's words got into his ears anyway.
"I see...... Understand that you are just like me...... Is it your mother or your father? ”
"I-I don't know what you mean, Hagrid......"
"It's my mother," Hagrid said softly, "she's one of the few left in England." Of course, I don't remember her very well...... She left, you know. It was probably when I was three years old. To be honest, she doesn't quite look like a mother. Alas...... There's no motherhood in their nature, is there? I don't know what happened to her...... As far as I know, probably dead......"
"It's too cold." She said—actually, no matter how cold it was, it wouldn't be as cold as her voice," she said, "I wanted to go in." ”
"Hurry up," Harry said to Ron in a low voice, "let's go......
"Harry Potter." A slightly magnetic voice came from the side.
Harry and Ron were pale, at this time, could they have been discovered?
Turning around, two slender figures stood beside the flowers.
With the faint light of the stars, Harry realized that a man and a woman in front of him seemed to be exchange students from the Oriental Academy.
With a slight sigh of relief, Harry politely replied, "Excuse me, what's the matter with the two of you?" ”
The woman in the black robe stepped forward, her soft voice was tactful and melodious, "Mr. Potter, I am Dong Zhen, this is Yang Fan, the captain of our exchange students, in fact, we came to you, just to make friends with you, before we came, I had already heard of your name, this time, you were selected as a warrior, and it is a pity that you were not able to see your summoning fire crossbow arrow through the fire dragon's excellent watch on the first project." However, there is always a chance, and as the smallest warrior in the Triwizard Tournament, we are still quite optimistic about you. ”
Harry's face was slightly red, and he was secretly happy, but he didn't expect that his reputation would spread to the East. Moreover, it is obvious that in the words of the other party, he seems to be very identified with his identity as a warrior, which is undoubtedly a carbon send-off for him at this stage.
"Actually, the last project was just lucky. I'm not sure if I'll be able to complete the second project on a smooth note, but thank you very much for your trust in me. Harry replied with a smile on his face.
Dong Zhen and Yang Fan exchanged a look, Yang Fan stepped forward, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said gently, "Actually, Mr. Potter doesn't have to worry too much, the second project I heard is to use the golden egg to find clues, first here I wish you can find it smoothly, if you crack the clues, what difficulties do you encounter in the task, although you come to us, although the magic of the East and the West is quite different, but multiple ideas for solving the task are always good, we will definitely help you." ”
Under the night sky, as Harry thanked them in return, a smile of satisfaction appeared in their eyes.
