Chapter 169: The First Apostle
Pansy's words caused Arthur to stop the fork in his hand, and he looked up at the short-haired girl in front of him, and looked at the seriousness on her small and cute face, which had never appeared before. Arthur didn't speak, just stared silently into Pansy's eyes.
At this time, Pansy was no longer shy, avoiding Arthur's eyes as before. The courage of seeking true love brought her to Arthur's gaze, and the two looked at each other, and for a moment only the sound of breathing could be heard in the Slytherin common room.
"You know, we're all 12 years old. There's still a long way to go, and no one knows what will happen? β
In the end, it was Arthur who spoke first.
"I don't care, I've never done anything in my life that I regret. If I think so, I'll try to get it! I want to be by your side, then I will always be by your side! β
"If you become bad, I'll be the bad guy with you! If you're going to be an enemy of the Ministry of Magic, I'll follow you! If you want to hide from the world, I will accompany you to cut off all contact with others! β
"No matter where you go, I will always follow you!"
"If you don't want to believe it, I can put a blood spell right now!"
Pansy stared at Arthur's eyes, using all the strength of her body to say everything she had always wanted to say to Arthur in one breath. Because she was too excited, her eyes turned red.
What happened to a 12 year old? At the age of 12, you can also pursue true love without risk!
Besides, she Pansy will be 13 years old in three days, and her aunt has also come, and she is not a child, but a real girl!
"Why do you have to do this? You know some of my secrets... Being by my side is an extremely dangerous thing. It could cost you a life! β
Arthur stood up, walked up to Pansy, pressed down the wand she was about to cast the blood spell, and said in a low, slightly helpless voice.
After the trip to the Forbidden Forest two months ago, Pansy's attitude towards him has undergone a two-level reversal, from hating him at the beginning to being silently by his side later. Arthur is not a stone, he understands that this friendship is impure, mixed with emotions that should not be there at this age.
But at this time, in the face of Pansy's confession, he didn't know how to respond. In his previous life and this life, in two lifetimes, Arthur was confessed by a girl for the first time.
"I'm not afraid!"
Pansy still looked at Arthur with determination. It's all come to this point, how can she retreat!
The small face that has not faded from the immature atmosphere, and the big bright eyes are full of looks that do not match her age, it is difficult not to feel pity.
"Then show your determination and impress me!"
Agree! That's impossible, the two are too young, if the relationship is confirmed now, then the terrifying river crab god will come to this world. That kind of supreme existence, even the outer gods in the audience's mouth can't resist.
"Good! I will! β
Arthur didn't refuse, which made Pansy's nervous heart instantly settle, and although Arthur didn't agree, he gave himself a chance. For Pansy, this is already a success, at least more than those potential rivals!
As long as she works hard and lets Arthur see her heart, she will definitely become the woman who will accompany Arthur for the rest of his life.
"There's no way your mother could mail you two cakes with two forks, right?"
Arthur pointed to the silver fork next to the strawberry cake on the table and said to Pansy. The silver fork is engraved with a very obvious Parkinson's family crest, which is clearly not Hogwarts'. And Pansy's mother was afraid that her daughter would not find the fork, and she thoughtfully glued it to the top of the envelope with magic.
When Arthur took the fork from Pansy's hand just now, the handle was stained with shredded paper, and it was obvious that Pansy had just torn the fork off the envelope in the dormitory.
If Pansy had really eaten another portion of the cake, there was no way she wouldn't have washed the forks. As soon as you wash the handle, the shredded paper will be washed off.
So Arthur concludes that Pansy lied to herself, and her mother only mailed her a strawberry cake. And she was left to Arthur.
"I... I..."
Seeing that Arthur seemed to see through his lie, Pansy lowered her head in shame, her cheeks flushed, and she no longer had the heroic appearance she had just confessed. Completely in the posture of a little woman.
"Come, I'll eat half of it, and the rest will be yours. After all, your mother prepared it for you. β
Arthur smiled slightly, then took Pansy's hand, and the two sat down together, eating the strawberry cake made by Pansy's mother.
"I want you to feed me!"
β......β
Arthur looks at Pansy, who is a bit of a scoundrel, and finally relents. He forked a small piece of cake with strawberry grains and passed it to Pansy's mouth.
Pansy instinctively closed her eyes and opened her little mouth to wait for Arthur to feed.
"It's likeβ" Happiness exploded instantly, and Pansy looked at Arthur with a peach blossom face after chewing the cake in her mouth and swallowing it into her stomach.
"Don't think about it, it can be the same between friends."
Arthur flicked Pansy's head to stop her thoughts.
"Hee-hee~"
Pansy smiled, closed her eyes again and opened her small mouth, waiting for Arthur to feed.
The gloomy Slytherin common room, with the presence of two first-year students, began to smell of some kind of eerie dog food.
Not only after a long time, but when the two finished solving the cake on the plate, Arthur suddenly realized a problem.
"You didn't tell your mother at all that you're going to spend Christmas at school, did you?!"
"How is that possible! I'm sure I'll tell my parents about this. Otherwise, with my parents' temper, I'll have to fight Hogwarts tomorrow. And they were going to my eldest brother's house this year, so I used the reason that I didn't want to go to my eldest brother's house to get them to agree to my stay at Hogwarts. β
Pansy looked up at Arthur's handsome face and said with a bright expression.
Previously in the hollow of a tree in the Forbidden Forest, Arthur lay in Pansy's arms. And now, Pansy took off her shoes and lay flat on the couch, with the back of her head resting on Arthur's thigh.
Since her confession, Pansy has grown bolder. As long as Arthur doesn't explicitly refuse, she wants to do it again!
"Then I'm relieved. If you count today, the Christmas holiday is twenty days. During this time, I will accompany you to practice Transfiguration. β
Arthur was silent for a moment, feeling Pansy pinching his waist dishonestly, and couldn't help but speak.
The Christmas break at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is two weeks, plus three days this week and two days next week, exactly 20 days, and it would be a waste of time to focus on playing for such a long time.
Pansy has been chosen by Professor McGonagall to represent the junior division of the Transfiguration Tournament for the Wizarding World Student Exchange tomorrow in January. But William knows that with Panxi's current strength, he will definitely lose miserably if he goes to the exchange meeting where the masters are like clouds.
In order not to take a hit to Pansy's self-esteem, he plans to help Pansy improve her Transfiguration during this vacation.
Anyway, Pansy is the first person in this world who is ready to follow him, regardless of whether they can come together and become a family later. Arthur would not have allowed his followers to have only ordinary strength.
"Your hands are hurting... I can do it on my own. β
Pansy held Arthur's injured right hand in front of her with a distressed look on her face, and looked at her tightly wrapped little finger, she felt as if she was injured too.
"Rest assured, Madam Pomfrey said she would be healed tomorrow. Didn't I just tell you? Don't make excuses for being lazy! β
"What? I don't think so. Rest assured, in a month's time, I will definitely win the championship in the junior category! β
Pansy pouted and said dissatisfied.
"Your current strength can't compare to Hermione and Lisa...."
In order not to make Pansy too arrogant, Arthur moves out Hermione and Lisa, two students who are also competing in the Transfiguration Tournament.
"They? Hum! I'm going to beat these two mud... Defeat Gryffindor's Jack-of-all-trades and Ravenclaw's Anger Packs! β
As soon as Pansy heard the names Hermione and Lisa, she instantly exploded. In her heart, these two people are the most annoying, always appearing in front of Arthur, as her potential rivals.
Instinctively wanted to call them "mudbloods", but the thought that Arthur hated the title so much that she hurriedly changed her words.
"Look ahead, you're not just competing with the two of them. After becoming my follower, the wizards of the entire wizarding world are your competitors. β
Pansy's attitude allowed Arthur to see the entire Slytherin House students in microcosm, ambitious and confident enough, but always short-sighted and unable to see the scenery beyond.
"Well, I'll try!"
Pansy moved Arthur's hand to her heart, making him feel his heartbeat and feel his determination.
That strong heartbeat represents Pansy's firm heart, and the regular heartbeat tells Arthur bluntly that she is not lying, and that she can do everything she says.
Since Arthur asks her to be stronger, no matter how hard she pays, she will force herself to become stronger.
Listening to someone else's heartbeat all the time wasn't appropriate, so Arthur quickly withdrew his right hand.
"Arthur, you know what? Last night, when Draco and I were waiting for you, we saw Gemma and a boy hugging each other in the corridor......"
Arthur's quick retraction made Pansy realize something, and she felt her face getting more and more soupy, but seeing Arthur turn her head, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved into the shape of a crescent.
And then very boldly told the senior sister and the senior to do that kind of thing in the road. She also wanted to do it with Arthur now and experience what it was like.
"Don't think about it. Pansy, you seem to be a different person. It's not Pansy who just entered school at all. β
Arthur flicked Pansy's forehead and feigned anger. Pansy mentions the incident, which reminds Arthur of the fact that at noon, she and Hermione were eating ice cream with each other in the hallway next to the birdfeed.
Although it is true that I want to continue eating ice cream, ice cream is not something that I eat at random. The incident with Hermione was caused by force majeure.
Now, if you compromise with Pansy and agree to her excessive demand, you will be acquiescing in the relationship between the two. No, it doesn't fit Arthur's wishes.
"I've always been like this, I've never changed. It's just that at that time, we weren't familiar with each other..."
Seeing that Arthur disagreed, Pansy said with some loss. Her personality has never changed, as long as she wants it, she has to get it no matter what method she uses. She was still the delicate princess of the Parkinsons' family.
It's just that in front of Arthur, she unconsciously became what Arthur liked.
"Can I sleep like this for a while?"
Pansy leaned over and whispered with her head against Arthur's stomach.
"Sleep..."
Arthur looked at the flames in the fireplace, patted Pansy on the shoulder, and said softly.
Three books have been written, the Holy Grail War Games has been planned for closed beta, and the collection of Sequence 8: Mind Reader materials has been entrusted to Jim Baggins.
Now Arthur has nothing else to do, sitting on the couch and watching the fire in the fireplace, in a daze, unloading the tiredness of his body, enjoying the time disappearing little by little, allowing his soul to be purified.
As time passed, Pansy's breathing became more and more stable. Arthur looked at Pansy sleeping soundly, and his side face that showed his beauty temperament made him can't help but look at it a few more times.
Being able to meet someone who dares to cast a blood curse is Arthur's biggest gain today.
Gently stroking Pansy's supple hair, Arthur desperately flipped through the memory fragments to find out where Pansy had gone after graduation. Who are you married? Anything ever?
No matter how much he searched, Arthur couldn't find any memories of Pansy after she left Hogwarts. (Remarks:
The only thing found was that J.K. Rowling said in an interview that Pansy Parkinson was her own collection of girls she hated the most. She even changed actors twice because the actor who played Pansy was so beautiful.
After seeing this memory, Arthur smiled contemptuously, although this world has Harry Potter, Dumbledore, Voldemort, and all the people and things in "Harry Potter", but this world is the real world, not JK Rowling's.
In her Pansy is a very nasty girl, a girl who doesn't have any good points and sets all the Slytherin shortcomings. But the reality is different, although Pansy does have shortcomings and personalities, she is a very complete person, she has other qualities, and she will also change herself for the sake of the person she likes......
J.K. Rowling only writes about Pansy's shortcomings, making people remember the nasty Slytherin girl, and setting off Hermione and the other female characters in the trio. But the real Pansy is not like this, and her merits are no worse than Hermione, Ginny, and others.
"Now that you've decided to follow me... Then I'll make you the brightest star in the night sky..."
Stroking Pansy's hair, Arthur closed his eyes as well. The flames in the fireplace had warmed his body, and the cake he had just eaten had begun to digest, and the blood from his body was pooling towards his abdomen.
Sleepiness hit, and he gradually fell into a deep sleep. The hand that was pressed against Pansy's hair slowly landed on Pansy's face.
Pansy, who was asleep, felt something on her face and unconsciously held it in her arms with her hands......
