CHAPTER XXXII
When Sally woke up the next day, it was about eight o'clock, and she was surprised to find that James hadn't woken her up at six, and in that respect he was as odious as Snape.
Putting on slippers and walking out of the room, I saw James sitting at the dining table, elegantly drinking milk tea "Good morning, little Sally." ”
"Good morning James. Sally yawned and sat down next to him, sipping milk tea. "Don't you have to go to class today?"
"In fact, yesterday was our last class. Your godfather, my friend Severus, arrived here at two o'clock last night. Alas, don't be in a hurry, let him rest for a while, I have something to tell you. ”
"What's the matter?" asked Sally, curious.
"What do you think of me through these few days of classes?" asked James.
"Knowledgeable, but not very good character. The eight words succeeded James and did not know how to take the following words. He coughed twice in embarrassment, and said, "Do you remember the school I told you about? ”
"What Uru snake?"
“。。。 It's Lech Urus. James said with a headache, "On a small island in the Atlantic Ocean, the whole island is a college, and the scenery is beautiful... ”
"What does it have to do with me. Sally interrupted James. Asked bluntly.
"Do you want to come and study?" said James, "and hear me first." I don't want to argue with Hogwarts being the best school of witchcraft and wizardry, but Hogwarts does produce a lot of great people, and it focuses on cultivating the human spirit and relationships. But Lechurus doesn't tell you anything that doesn't matter to strength, it only tells you how to become strong, and it gives you the most useful things: the most powerful spells, the best potion recipes, how to tame the most ferocious creatures, how to cultivate and grow the most lethal herbs. And most importantly, it's independent of any law, you know what I mean?"
"Why did you take a fancy to me?" Sally said puzzled, "You should know that I'm a Hogwarts student, and I'm about to enter my third year." ”
"Talent, kid. James said, "For your all-round talent, for your innate sense of charm." If you believe me, you'll be strong, even stronger than Severus and Dumbledore. Because you are young and born in an age that is, at least temporarily, peaceful. ”
James pulled out a piece of paper with the exchange request written on it.
"As you said, you're already a Hogwarts student, but you're eligible to apply for an exchange at another school. The exchange may take months or years. I've signed my name, if you've thought about it, write down the relevant information and have Severus and Dumbledore sign it, and the owl will send it, we don't have a holiday, so you can send it at any time, the sooner the better. ”
At this moment, Severus came out of the room. The three of them had lunch together, and then James left first.
"Hopefully we can see each other soon. He said to Harry as he left. Then he warmly hugged Snape, who was full of reluctance. Got on the bus.
"How did you meet James?" she asked, confused, "you two don't have the same personality at all." ”
"He's fifty-six years old. Snape said calmly. "It's all up to the beauty medicine I gave him to keep this face. ”
“。。。。 Please be sure to give me this prescription thank you. ”
At lunchtime, Harry didn't hold back when she got it from Snape, and blew Aunt Maggie into a balloon and ran to Diagon Alley, where the Ministry of Magic didn't dig into him, and he was now living in the dilapidated Cauldron in Diagon Alley.
"It's time for me to go there too. Sally said, "The owl had delivered the letter a week ago, and I have quite a few things to procure. ”
"It's so old. Snape said. "I'll send you to the Leaky Cauldron, where you'll spend some time with your brother and maybe the Weasleys, and then they'll send you straight to school. Why are you looking at me like that?"
Sally's gaze made Snape feel uncomfortable, which made him involuntarily ask.
"Because I think you might be a little disgusted with me. ”
“。。。 ”
Regardless, Sally was especially happy when she met Harry, Hermione, and the Weasleys at the Leaky Cauldron Bar, as they had already bought all the things they needed to go to school, but they still bought them all over again. Hermione praised her Potions class assignments, much to Sally's embarrassment. Her favorite thing to do was to watch Fred George play tricks on Percy, and although she knew it was immoral, the Weasleys were a bit preoccupied compared to the children, and Sally had asked them implicitly if they had any problems, but each time they got a good answer.
A week passed quickly, and Mr. Weasley was lucky enough to borrow two cars from the Ministry of Magic to get them to the station comfortably. At the station, Sally ran into the Malfoys and found an excuse to leave Harry and sneak on the train after Malfoy, intending to surprise them.
After all three of them found a cubicle and went in, Sally opened the door and said loudly, "Happy school!"
Satisfied with the startled expressions of the three of them, Sally happily said to Malfoy, "I haven't thanked you for your birthday present in person." I love it so much. She showed Malfoy the silver necklace she wore around her neck. "As a return gift, I also brought you a gift, I wanted to wait until your birthday to give it to you, but I couldn't help it. You sit inside, or let me in. ”
Malfoy got up, and Sally sat down by the window inside him, and took the gift she had prepared from her pocket.
"What is this??" Malfoy asked, looking at the oval-shaped stone-like thing in the box Sally had given her.
"It's not just a necklace. Sally said, pulling her wand out of her pocket and tapping the red stone lightly, only to see it emit a bright light.
"You can adjust the light every time you click, turn it off twice, and the Three Gorges will automatically send out a distress signal. Sally said smugly. "You can use it as a necklace when you're fine, if you want to. Give it more sun, that will make it more bright. ”
"Where did you get that?" Malfoy said in amazement.
"Secret~" Sally smiled "And Goyle and Crabbe, I brought you dried fruit, it's very sweet, I like it very much, but don't eat too much at once, I heard that it's not good for your health." ”
"How are you doing in America?" the train has accelerated and is moving smoothly.
"Sally... He didn't finish his sentence as the door of the cubicle was pulled open again, and Pansy Padson said in a very shrill voice. "Drake, you're here, why don't you say a word to anyone and let them look for you. ”
Sally was almost stunned to see Pansy clinging to one of Malfoy's arms like a snake, and even then, when she saw her, she could take the time to look at her with a demonstrative or warning look.
"You ... Sally was so frightened by Pansy's heavily painted face that she didn't know what to say. She understands that a woman is a person who pleases herself, but she can't understand the disfigurement of a person who pleases herself. Especially her lips, Sally always felt that she might have just eaten someone's child and forgot to wipe her mouth...
"Drake, haven't you told Sally yet?" Pansy said in her tired accent, "we're boyfriend and girlfriend now." ”
Sally glanced at Malfoy, only to see that his gaze was firmly fixed on the corner of the table. Although it was not admitted, it was not denied.
"Draco spent the whole summer at my uncle's house, with me. So it's only natural that we'll be together, but I didn't expect Draco to be so low-key and haven't told you yet. Pansy continued. Little by little, she wanted to sit on the stool. Sally apparently noticed this, so she got up extremely understandingly, "Hmm... Bless you two, maybe you can make room for me so I can make room for you?"
"Thank you very much, Sally. Without waiting for Malfoy to respond, Pansy had already made a way for her, and Sally strode out, closing the door of the cubicle with her as she left the door. She took one last look at Malfoy, and saw him sitting where she had been, looking out the window. Pansy was next to him, talking about their summer vacation.
Alas... It looks like she's going to lose a good friend. Sally thought to herself, at least not as inseparable as before.
She found a random cubicle and sat down, ready to spend the trip alone. She remembered the exchange application in the bracelet, should she go...
Thinking about it, she fell asleep against the window, and she didn't wake up until the car stopped suddenly, and it was already dark outside, and she was the only one left in the compartment.
"Anyone?" she called out, and the lights went out at once, and for a moment she couldn't see anything.
"Sally, Sally?" she heard Malfoy's voice faintly, he was supposed to be the closest to her carriage, but just as she was about to open her mouth to respond, a cool air rushed overhead, and then, the door of the cubicle was slowly opened, and two tall, large figures in cloaks stood there. Sally couldn't see his face, even though his face was slowly approaching hers.
