Chapter 382 380. Early Christmas gift

  Acia left the castle in a daze.

  She is like a body that has lost her soul, she doesn't know what she should do, and she doesn't know what she can do.

  The look that Floyd gave her yesterday made Asia see her future destiny clearly, and she was sure that Freud heard what Flint said to herself.

   No woman would tolerate her fiancé making such remarks about another woman, let alone a jealous Freud.

  She came to the Black Lake, and it was still class time, and there were not many students skating in the lake for entertainment, so the arrival of Asia did not attract any attention.

   Walking around the Quidditch pitch along the lawn, she walked to the place where Hermione and Hermione often meet.

  Asia sat here with her knees hugged, staring blankly at the place on the ground that was obviously different from other lands, and the soil was brand new.

That was when Hermione was digging out the herbs yesterday, and she helped to refill them. Hermione also told her to bury it firmly, so as to prevent the snow from melting in the back and seeping in, and it would stay here again. a hole.

  Yesterday’s experience is still vivid in my memory, but for Asia now, it seems as long as a century has passed.

She didn't intend to ask Hermione to protect her. Even if they could really become the masters of the castle again in the future, the order in the castle still continues to operate according to the rules set by the principal. .

  Hermione can protect her outside the castle where others can't notice, but inside the castle it's beyond her reach.

  If she keeps praying, she believes that Hermione will definitely help her find a solution in the end, but even if there is a solution in the end, it will inevitably take great risks.

  Acia didn't want to see that kind of result. She would rather sacrifice herself to understand this matter, and she didn't want it to involve more people, whether it was her parents or Hermione, who was her only friend now.

  She sat here from morning until noon, and just after lunch time, Hermione's voice sounded behind her.

   "Acia?"

  Acia didn't look back immediately, she simply cleaned up the expression on her face, and showed the same soft smile every time she came to meet Hermione before.

   "Good afternoon, Hermione."

  The sun shone on her, and the pale golden hair reflected a faint halo, making the girl look so beautiful.

   "Why did you come so early today?"

  Hermione seemed to be deceived by Asia's disguise, and didn't find anything wrong with her. She sat next to Asia with the small basket used to temporarily store herbs in her hand.

   "I have nothing to do in the castle, just sit here casually."

"We can meet in the castle at Christmas." Hermione put her hands on the grass, raised her head to look at the blue sky, and smiled unconsciously, "We were still talking about this before we parted yesterday. Well, it turned out that he had already spoken to me at night."

  Acia's face froze.

   "Have you found a date? Who is it?"

"I just told you yesterday, who else could be? He called me to the driver's seat in front of the carriage last night and said a lot, and finally managed to find a somewhat romantic excuse to invite me. I thought he'd say something like, 'Hey, Hermione, you're sure to be free on Christmas night? How about we get together and dance in the auditorium?' It’s much stronger.”

Asia froze and grabbed her robe with her fingers. She didn't know why, but when she saw Hermione's expression when she said these words, she felt a sense of envy or a little jealousy for no reason. mood.

  But soon she threw this strange feeling out of her mind, and blessed from the bottom of her heart.

   "Congratulations, Hermione."

   "What about you? Asia must be very popular in the castle too, right? Did you promise who will dance at the ball then? We'll have to put on a show and treat it as the first time we met."

  Hearing this question, Asia's nose couldn't help but feel a little sore. She lowered her head, not letting Hermione see her face, and forced a smile.

   "Many people invited me, but I didn't accept them. You know, I'm more afraid of dealing with strangers, and I can't dance."

   "At that time, if I invite Asia to dance, will you accept it?"

  Hermione's eyes were bent into a crescent shape, and she looked into Asia's eyes with a smile.

  Acia has always been a little dazed today, and she was even a little lost when she heard Hermione's words.

   "You, don't you have a dance partner?"

   "Jon will definitely only do one lead dance at most, and the rest of the time can of course be at my own disposal."

  Acia felt tears pouring out of her eyes, but in the end she held back, and shook her head and refused.

   "Forget it, I may not go to the auditorium on the day of the prom."

  Hermione blinked her eyes at her, and didn't ask why. Instead, she was silent for two seconds as if to give Asia time to think, before asking.

   "Don't you have anything to say to me today?"

   Asia was stared at by her like this, and subconsciously avoided her eyes in a panic, she replied without the slightest hesitation.

   "No. Why do you ask?"

   "Because you seem a little weird today."

   "I was just thinking about an early Christmas present for you."

  When Asia said this, she seemed to have made up her mind. She solemnly took off the bracelet that was always on her wrist, and handed it to Hermione.

"I told you it was a birthday present from my mum and it was the most precious thing I've ever had. I could tell you loved it Hermione so I gave it as a Christmas present Here you are, you must take good care of it.”

  Hermione didn't show much strange expression to Asia's sudden gift, she slowly connected the bracelet.

   "There are still two weeks before Christmas, even if you want to give me a Christmas present, why do you have to advance so many days?"

   Asia also showed a smile on his face.

"Because the most precious thing on my body is this bracelet. I want to give it to you, but I am afraid that I will go back on it until Christmas, so I just take it now, while I can't go back on it. send out."

   After speaking, she seemed to have let go of one thing on her mind, and immediately stood up from the grass to return to the castle.

"I'm going back, because Christmas is not a holiday, so the professors have added a lot of homework these days, and I probably don't have much time to come to you again, so don't worry too much if you haven't seen me for many days, I Just writing and writing in the library to catch up with homework."

  Her smile was soft and sunny, and she was telling Hermione about the beauty of her campus life, so that her only friend would not have to worry about things that would probably never appear again in the future.

  Hermione also stood up from the grass. She looked at Asia's smile and didn't speak for the first time, but when the girl was about to leave, she stopped her.

   "You wait for me here first, it only takes five minutes, and you can leave when I come back."

  She told Asia, then turned her head and trotted towards the direction of the carriage, her long chestnut hair was jumping among the snow-capped woods, like an elf active in the world.

  Acia didn't take advantage of this time to leave. She knew very well that this was probably the last time she would see Hermione. Even if she had made up her mind, she still would be reluctant.

  Hermione really didn't keep her waiting for long, even less than five minutes before she ran back again.

"Since your Christmas presents have been sent to me in advance, I will not delay giving them to you on Christmas Day. Take this, just like you gave me a bracelet, I will keep it Wear it, and you should keep it on your body at all times, and don’t let others see it, this thing is considered a contraband in the castle, so you must treasure it.”

  Asia looked at the crimson feather that Hermione handed to her, but didn't recognize what it was.

   But she doesn't care what the value of this feather is, as long as it is given to her by Hermione, she will always carry it.

  Just like Hermione's bracelet without hesitation, Asia didn't hesitate at all when accepting the feather. She put the feather in the inner pocket of her robe and said seriously.

   "I'll always carry it, always!"

  After making a promise, she didn't stay any longer, waved at Hermione, and trotted away in the direction of Hogwarts Castle.

   "Goodbye, Hermione."

  Hermione also waved at the girl's back, she had already put on the string of white bracelets on her hand, her voice was very soft, as if she was blessing the wind that was blowing away.

   "Goodbye, Asia."

   For two full days, Asia was safe and sound.

Just like the expression that Freud left for her before was actually an illusion, the so-called revenge is because she thinks too much, no matter how much hatred there is among the students, it is impossible to involve human life .

  However, on the evening of the day when Asia had such a lucky idea, when she was about to go to the auditorium for lunch, she was stunned by a stun spell from behind.

   These days, she has been very careful. Even if she doesn't have many friends in school, as long as she leaves the dormitory to go out for activities, she will follow her classmates closely.

   Even so, Asia was attacked and dragged away by Floyd's group in front of two female classmates around her that evening.

   Before leaving, Floyd only left one sentence with a gloomy face.

   "If someone asks, you'd better say that you didn't see her at all this afternoon, or you should know the consequences."

  The two pure-blood girls just looked at her in fear, not knowing whether to nod or shake their heads.

  Floyd didn't seem to care about how they would react at all, and after finishing the threat, he left with her two men holding Asia's arms.

   When Asia woke up, she realized that she had been taken to an abandoned Potions classroom.

  Although the tables, chairs and benches here are discarded in a mess, there are obvious traces of being tidied up before. Floyd has already premeditated, and the calm these days is just that she is doing some preparatory work.

   "I've given you many chances, Conrad."

  Floyd's face was calm and scary. She was holding a bottle of blood-red potion in her hand, and the person who was talking to Asia was pouring the blood-like liquid in the bottle to the ground.

  Acia's body was controlled by the binding spell, and she was placed in the middle of the classroom. There were many strange runes around her.

"You are really naughty. You have escaped from me many times before, but this also provides me with time to prepare. If there is no such preparation, the chance of directly cursing you is too small and too small. Now At least 30% more chance of success, which is great, right, it’s a fate you choose to bear.”

  Even if she was mentally prepared, when she really had to face such a scene, Asia's face still showed a deathly paleness.

   "You heard that day, Miss Floyd, I've said no, I didn't want to, I didn't."

"I never said it was your fault, Conrad. I said, you are not wrong, I am not wrong, Flint is not wrong, everyone is not wrong, but now something happened If there is a problem, then it is meaningless to find out whose fault it is, we can directly deal with the problem itself.”

  The red liquid drenched the runes carved on the ground, and Floyd calmly looked up at Asia.

"We all want to fix this, so you should be more than happy to do me a favor, just get this problem of yours out of the way so Flint can't be obsessed with you again, that would be good for all of us, wouldn't it ? And all you have to pay is to become a blood-cursed orc."

  Hearing the term blood-cursed orc, the pupils in Asia's eyes constricted visibly.

  After hearing the curse from Freud for the first time, she searched a lot of information in the library, and knew what kind of effect this vicious curse had.

   It can be said that if she is burdened with this kind of thing, she would rather die!

"boom!"

  Floyd threw away the empty potion bottle in her hand, raised the wand in her hand, and she aimed the tip of the wand at Asia's forehead.

"You don't need to pay your life, as long as you become that kind of monster, then Flint will definitely not spend his mind on you anymore, he will love me wholeheartedly, what a perfect solution, right, Kang Miss Ned!"
