CHAPTER XLIV
Sally had been in the Potions office until twelve o'clock at night before returning to the dormitory, so she didn't know that Harry had been looking for her all day, and by the time she remembered Harry and them, she was already lying on the bed, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty...
She was leaving at six o'clock the next morning, and Professor Snape promised to send her, and maybe she could write a letter to Harry and ask Snape to bring it over, well... Although the relationship between Snape and Harry is expected to be bloody again, it is not a problem.
She had already planned to ask James to return to Hogwarts as soon as she arrived at the school, so the parting was not very touching, and Snape was very reluctant to bring the letter to Harry, but finally agreed, and Sally got on the boat, and after a day of sailing, returned to Lechurus, and saw Hoyt waiting for her on the docks.
"Sally!" Hoyt gave her a big hug, and Sally nearly suffocated in his arms. When I finally broke free, I heard "Did you bring me a gift?"
"Delicious cake. She brought Mrs. Weasley the huge cake she had given her, as she couldn't eat it alone, and thanked Mrs. Weasley once more.
"Delicious, I've never had such a delicious cake, oh my God, there's a filling in the cake. Hoyt ate as he walked, ruining his beautiful image.
"If you can eat something fresh or freshly baked, that's delicious. Sally said she didn't think that much, just told the truth.
"yes, it would be great if you could eat it... Hoyt paused, his tone distinctly bitter.
Sally stopped, turned her head to look at him, he looked at Sally and immediately came up with a skinless smile again, Sally and he took two more steps and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Hoyt asked, confused, and the cake in his hand had already been eaten by him for a while.
"Hoyt. Sally looked him in the eye, "Why can't you get out of here?"
The warm wind blew through the branches, and there was a rustling sound. Hoyt's smile was still bright, just a little stiffer.
After nearly a minute of silence, Sally sighed and said, "That's it, I don't want to say it, I didn't ask." With that, he continued to walk forward.
Hoyt didn't follow, he stood there with the cake in his hand, and after a while, he looked up and looked at Sally's back in the distance, and his expression was sad and painful like never before.
Until the evening class, Sally didn't see Hoyt, the teacher still let her go to class, explaining that any activity James said had to be attended by two people was just a bluff, speaking of which, she wanted to talk to James today about returning to Hogwarts, but learned that he was sent out and would not be back until a week, anyway, it wasn't bad these days, so she wasn't in a hurry.
"Sally Potter. The professor of herbology called her name, "Please tell me what to do when facing the demon vine." ”
Sally got up, looked at the black and blue plant in front of her, and said, "Once the demon vine touches the human skin, it will release toxins that kill people instantly, so the best thing to do is to stay away from it and take all measures not to let it get close, but at the same time it is one of the few plants that is not afraid of flames, so the best thing to do is to cut her pouch with a sharp object and let the venom flow out, and the moment the pouch is cut, it will die." ”
"Great, but what if you really get touched by it?" the professor continued, in fact it was very unscientific to ask this question again, because Sally had already said that if you were contaminated with it, you would die instantly, but this was the case with Lechurus, and if Avada had someone trying to crack it, let alone a demon vine.
"Drink the raw silver water, Professor. Sally said, "Fighting poison with poison, raw silver water will concentrate the poison in a certain part of the body, which will give us time to heal, and there will be a certain chance of survival." ”
"Quite right. The professor said, motioning for Sally to sit down. Then she continued to lecture, but Sally couldn't listen anymore, and she wanted to find Hoyt.
Although she did not have Hoyt's cover, she still managed to escape from the classroom, of course, in large part because the professor acquiesced to her behavior, she looked for the library, the dining room, and the courtyard where they often stayed, but she did not see him, and Sally had an idea to come to the path that led to the docks.
The docks are the island's only harbor, and to think of them is to pass through a tree-lined path hidden in the woods, where Sally separates from Hoyt in the morning.
She's never been here at night, in fact, who would, if she doesn't leave the island. Sally used her wand to emit a bright light.
"Hoyt, Hoyt, are you here?" she shouted as she searched. She walked to the docks and walked back, thinking that if she couldn't find him again, she would have to go into the jungle. Luckily, she saw him on the side of the road back from behind a large tree.
"What are you doing?" she was a little angry, "I just passed by you, you should have heard me calling you, is it interesting to hide like this? She didn't finish her words, for then the light came and she saw the tears in Hoyt's eyes, those blue eyes were full of sadness, but the corners of his mouth were curved with a touch of happiness, and he sat against the tree, and Sally looked at him condescendingly, and after a while she sat down with him, and turned off the light of her wand, and the darkness for a moment blinded her for a moment, but she quickly got used to it, and she handed him a handkerchief.
"Rub it, it's ugly. She said.
"I didn't want to cry. Hoyt took the handkerchief, wiped his eyes and nose, and prepared to return it to Sally, who pushed it back to him.
"It's not a shame to cry. She thought for a moment and said. "I used to ... Just like you. She remembered the scene at the orphanage, and then remembered what Fred had said on the train, and after thinking about it, she gently put her arm around Hoyt's shoulder.
"Cry, cry and you'll be fine. ”
She felt the clothes on her shoulders gradually soaking wet, Hoyt's tears were not as heart-rending as hers, he didn't speak, and even there was no difference except for heavy gasps, but his sadness was so strong that people wanted to shed tears together.
It was a long time before he kept that position and whispered.
"I am a hybrid of elves and humans, my father is the prince of the elves, and my mother is an ordinary wizard reporter, she is the first time in so many years that the elves have allowed reporters to get to know them, so she is very happy, my father received her as her guide, and then, they inevitably fell in love. ”
"The elves are a proud race, they think that their bloodline is extremely noble, so the elves can only be with the elves, this is the ancestral teaching, no one can disobey, even if the blood of close relatives brings them in addition to intelligent children, more imbecile disabled people, those imbecile disabled people are secretly executed, and the healthy bloodline is well protected. ”
"My father, everybody thought he would be the king of the elves, and no one doubted that, but he fell in love with my mother and had me. He knew that he couldn't hide it for long, so he wanted to send his mother out secretly, but on the night when everything was ready for action, they were discovered. The whole clan came to hunt them down, and his mother begged his father to go with him, but his father knew that the unique appearance of the elves would give them nowhere to hide, so he persuaded his mother that he was a prince after all, and they would not do anything to him. But the next second after he finished saying this, he was pierced through the heart by ten thousand swords, and even kept a smile when he died, and he used his last bit of strength to block the pursuers and help his mother escape. ”
"My mother hid in hiding, and finally hid in her brother's house, and was pregnant in the basement of his house for three whole years, and then gave birth to me, because I had elven blood, so the elves knew my existence at the moment I was born, and they came to her brother's house. At the cost of her brother's entire family, my mother dragged me out with her weak body. ”
"Wherever I am, they can find me. In this case, my mother survived for three months, until she met an old man who was fishing, and she saw us pitiful, and told me to swallow a bead, saying that this bead would keep me until I was fifty years old, and that the time would make me go to a Harden man, yes, James Harden. ”
"Soon after I swallowed the beads, my mother finally left me because of overwork, and when I was thirty years old, the fisherman was gone, and I wandered around, and at the age of fifty, James found me and brought me here. So, do you understand? It's not that I don't want to get out of here, Sally, I want to get out of here more than anyone else, I want to see the outside world, but I can't, too many people have lost their most precious lives in order to keep me alive, and if I don't cherish it, I'm sorry for them. ”
He said so many words in one breath, and then the air was filled with silence. Hoyt straightened up, tears had dried up, and with that smile that was not as natural as usual, he stood up and held out his hand to Sally, "Let's go, we're going back." ”
Sally ignored the hand, and after a while, she raised her head and said seriously, "If I have a way, would you be willing to try?"
Hoyt's hand dropped lightly and said, "There's no way, Sally. Even James said that this is the bloodline, there is no way. ”
"You can try. Sally insisted, "Since the Avada Curse has been tried to break, why can't you try your bloodline?"
"You don't understand, Sally, you don't understand the seriousness of this, you're just politely saying it now, maybe it's because I'm pitiful that I said it on the spur of the moment, if... ”
"You're never welcome. Sally interrupted him and said, "It's less impulsive, so when I say I want to help you, it means that I really want to help you, you just need to say if you're willing to try and cooperate." ”
The air was quiet again, and Sally stood up propped up the tree, "I'll give you time to think about it, now let's first... ”
"Why?" Hoyt asked, his tone genuinely puzzled.
"Perhaps... She thought for a moment, "Thank you for your hard work in helping me carry things in the past two years." ”
