Chapter 13: Sad Penelope
For the rest of the day, Weston sensed that someone was looking at him wrongly, but he didn't care so much and continued to immerse himself in the experiment with Nicol.
Naturally, he didn't know that there was a young girl who had been sad for him......
Penelope's mood has been a little wrong in the last few days, and when she learns that Weston has her own fiancée, her heart is almost broken. When I returned to the dormitory that day, I cried a lot.
Even after several days, her mood still hadn't adjusted, and she was still relatively sluggish, which made Flitvier frown all the time.
After the Charms lesson that day, Flitwick saw that Penelope was still sullen, and finally couldn't hold back and stopped her.
In fact, aside from Weston, Flitwick's most important student is Penelope. This little witch is smart, sensible, and has a good reputation among the teachers, although not as good as Weston, but it is also extremely rare!
What's more, Flitwick sees a trait in her, a spirit of refusal to admit defeat, which is extremely rare in all of Ravenclaw, not even Weston.
Speaking of which, Weston is indeed the kind of person who has no desires, unless he encounters something that interests him, he is the kind of lazy and lazy look!
In the whole Ravenclaw, most of them are similar to Weston, who are indisputable, only interested in knowledge, and the rest are bland, even if it is Quidditch and the House Cup, there are very few things that Ravenclaw cares about.
Therefore, Penelope's character is very precious in Ravenclaw!
"Miss Krivat, are you okay in a moment?" Flitwick asked kindly in his characteristic high-pitched voice.
"I'm fine. What's wrong, Professor? Penelope asked, a little confused.
"Come to my office and talk, okay?" Flitwick asked with a smile.
Penelope didn't understand what was going on, but nodded and followed.
Flitwick has two offices, one on the eighth floor of Hogwarts, next to McGonagall's office (the four house directors have an office on the eighth floor), and the other in the Ravenclaw Tower.
Flitwick usually works in this office in the tower, and now he plans to talk to Penelope here.
"Sit down, dear!" With a wave of his hand, Flitwick pulled a chair over. Because of his goblin blood, Flitwick can cast spells without a wand, but because of his habits, he still uses a wand more.
"Here, have some cake! It's a nice little cake, I made it myself, Albus asked me a few times, and I didn't give it to him! Flitwick said with some pride.
Penelope looked at these small cakes that were still dancing, and the chubby cakes twisted comically, even if he was in a particularly bad mood, he couldn't help but show a smile when he saw this scene.
Flitwick was quietly observing her, and was secretly relieved to see that she had finally relaxed a little.
Penelope quickly finished his cake and sat down in his chair, still looking a little nervous.
"Don't be nervous, kid! It's safe here, and no one will hurt you! Flitwick laughed, making a little joke.
Seeing that Penelope finally relaxed, Flitwick slowly spoke: "Okay, dear, can you talk about it?" You don't seem to be in a good mood lately! ”
Seeing Flitwick's unfeigned concern, Penelope almost burst into tears, and hurriedly turned his head away, and said angrily, "I'm fine, Professor!" ”
Flitwick looked at her with a little disappointment and asked softly, "Is it inconvenient to say?" ”
Penelope shook his head slightly, bit his red lip, and didn't speak.
Flitwick suddenly thought of something, and asked tentatively, "Is it related to Weston?" ”
At this question, Penelope finally couldn't help it, and suddenly lay on the table, and cried loudly, the hoarse voice made the seeers sad and the hearers wept.
Flitwick understood it all at once, it was nothing more than love and love between young people. Moreover, according to what he knows about Weston, Weston should not have done anything, so, nine times out of ten, it is the girl's unrequited love, and it turns out that Weston has a fiancée and falls out of love.
Love is a thing that hurts! Flitwick sighed inexplicably.
Of course, if he has any insights, it is a lie, and a man who has been single for more than 200 years can have an in-depth experience!
"Alright, kid, it's all over!" Flitwick comforted softly.
"What should I do, Professor? I'm really miserable......" Penelope asked, choking up.
"To be honest, I can't give you any advice on that!" Flitwick shook his head, "And, in my opinion, love without mutual understanding can't last long!" ”
"Are you sure you know Weston?" Flitwick asked such a sharp question.
Penelope was stunned and stopped crying, she suddenly realized that she really didn't know much about Weston.
"You don't know him, do you? You know almost nothing about his past, his experiences, his character! Flitwick calmly told the cruel truth.
Penelope's face was a little ugly, but she still nodded, she had her pride, she would never lie, she didn't know, she didn't know.
"Look, that's it!" Flitwick continued, "I don't deny Weston how good he is. But because he's so good, are you sure you're in love with him, not adoring him? ”
"No, you're not sure!" Flitwick didn't wait for Penelope to answer, and he was the first to say the answer. Looking at Penelope's face changes, it is estimated that Flitwick is right.
"You see, that's what it looks like, kid! If you don't mind, I can tell you what you want to hear. Flitwick said calmly.
Penelope hesitated slightly, but finally nodded.
"Well, then I'll tell you a little bit about Weston, his real experience!" Flitwick said, his eyes drifting a little, as if he had fallen into a memory from a long time ago.
"Weston is an Asian-French wizard, you all know that!" Flitwick saw Penelope nodding and continued, "But most people don't know that Weston is actually an Englishman!" ”
"He used to be just a wandering orphan in Diagon Alley!"
Orphan? Penelope raised his eyebrows in some surprise when he heard the word.
"That's right, orphan!" Flitwick repeated it again, nodding his head as he spoke, apparently trying to make his words more convincing.
"You have to know what life is like for orphans! Sickness, starvation, these are all things that orphans have to think about! And the wandering orphans are even more pitiful existences! ”
Flitwick said, feeling a little sorry for Weston's past.
"Later, you know, Weston became the son-in-law of the Delacour family! There are some very special reasons in between! ”
"That is, silently!" ......
