Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

Chapter 30 An Accident

Diagon Alley, a winding street made of flagstones and cobblestones.

At this time, a father and son were standing at the bifurcation between Flourish and Blotts Bookstore and Madam Malkin's Robe Store.

The boy was about ten years old. He had the same glossy light blond hair as his father, a pale oval face, and a pair of gray-blue eyes. He was looking up at the crowded streets uneasily.

"I'll go to the Flourish and Blotts Bookstore next door to buy you a book first. You don't have to follow me. You can go directly to the store in front to get the measurements."

The man glanced at his son, turned the snake-shaped scepter in his hand, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice with some displeasure.

"Draco, let me reiterate. You are a member of the ancient Malfoy family, and I do not want to see you showing such a childish and weak expression again."

"I just don't want to deal with those poor people. Don't worry, father, I know what to do."

The blond boy, Draco Malfoy, took a deep breath and answered calmly, trying to imitate his father's tone.

"That's best. In recent years, Hogwarts has recruited too many bad people. Always remember your own identity."

Old Malfoy nodded arrogantly, raised his hand and patted his son's shoulder, his tone softening.

"Anyway, let's separate here first. If I haven't come over after taking measurements, you can go to the wand shop to find your mother."

"I understand, you don't need to say more."

Draco moved his shoulders slightly uncomfortably, and walked towards Madam Malkin's robe store without looking back.

(From now on, Malfoy will be used to refer to Draco Malfoy when Lucius is not present)

Following the signs, Malfoy walked along the winding cobblestone streets to his destination.

After walking closer to the door, Malfoy found a girl about his age sitting on the steps in front of Madam Malkin's robe store.

Malfoy looked at the stone steps curiously. The next moment, his eyes were firmly caught by the silver-haired girl sitting on the stone steps.

At this time, the girl was carefully licking a huge ice cream ball with the tip of her tongue in small bites. Her concentration seemed to be as if the whole world did not exist, and she looked particularly cute and well-behaved.

The sun shines on the girl's silky silver hair, shining with dazzling golden light. On her delicate face like an elf, her long eyelashes trembled slightly. Almost every pedestrian passing by would subconsciously slow down and look at her a few more times.

"Hey, this classmate, are you also a student of Hogwarts?"

Malfoy pulled the knitted shirt on his body a little, cleared his throat, walked forward slowly, and politely extended his hand to shake the girl's hand.

"...Go away, little brat, I'm not interested in you."

The girl replied nonchalantly, not even bothering to move her eyes as she continued to concentrate on licking her ice cream.

"Hey, so, you're going to Hogwarts too?"

Malfoy's face flushed, he raised his voice slightly, and waved his hand in mid-air in front of the girl's eyes.

Ziliu——

The little silver-haired girl took a sip of the ice cream ball, narrowed her eyes happily, and ignored Malfoy standing in front of her, as if he was just air.

Malfoy, who finally mustered up the courage, stood there slightly embarrassed, not knowing whether to put his right hand down or keep it hanging in the air, with a faint blush on his pale cheeks.

"Hey, didn't you hear me talking to you?!"

Malfoy walked up the steps angrily, reaching out with his right hand, trying to shake the girl's shoulders.

This time the girl finally reacted. Just before Malfoy was about to touch her, she turned to the left, successfully avoiding the boy's movements, and then continued her eating.

Pedestrians around seemed to have noticed this interesting scene, and stopped one after another to watch with interest this "little accident" that happened in front of Madam Malkin's robe store.

Aware of the glances and whispers behind him, the blush on Malfoy's face became more obvious. His eyes turned cold, and he threw himself towards the girl's arm in embarrassment.

How come there are so many annoying naughty kids in this world? !

The silver-haired little girl, Elena, frowned impatiently, turned and stood up, and once again deftly avoided the oncoming little boy.

only……

As the girl made a dodge movement, the half-eaten ice cream ball on the cone shook from side to side and fell to the ground with a thud.

Snap.

The huge ice cream ball fell heavily to the ground with its inertia, leaving little chocolate-colored traces on the cobblestone ground.

As if the pause button had been pressed, the entire sound paused for half a second, and everyone's eyes turned to the pile of chocolate ice cream balls spread out on the ground.

"..."

"..."

Elena looked at the empty cone in her hand, and then at the "corpse" of the ice cream ball not far from her feet. In Malfoy's confused eyes, she took three sips expressionlessly. Finish the egg roll.

"Tell me, little brat, what are you going to do now?"

The girl raised her chin and looked down at Malfoy, who was sitting on the ground. Her long silver hair was floating in the wind, and her lake-blue eyes exuded a kind of deathly coldness. A dazzling light appeared on the back of her left hand, as if it was some kind of The same traces of sacred runes.

The entire small space seemed to have suddenly stopped, and even the air became extremely heavy.

From the corner of his eye, he watched the cute ice cream ball gradually turn into a puddle of water. The magic power in the little mixed-race Veela's body spread out involuntarily, forming an invisible magic vortex, and in the center of the vortex was...

"Please...please..."

There was a trace of pain on Malfoy's face, and his hands involuntarily grabbed his throat, as if he suddenly couldn't breathe. His pale face turned red visibly, and then quickly turned the color of liver.

"stop!"

A loud roar like thunder came from the distance, and an old man with a long silver beard waved his wand vigorously with an anxious look on his face.

After a creaking sound like broken glass, the stagnant air resumed its flow.

"Think of your vows! Elena Kaslana!"

Snapped! There was a crisp sound in the air.

Dumbledore phantomed directly in front of Elena from more than ten meters away. He quickly grabbed the silver-haired little Loli's glowing left hand and pressed it down. He looked at her with a serious face and scolded her.

"Didn't we agree to wait for me in the robe shop after eating the ice cream? Why do you want to cause trouble again?"

Fortunately, he was in the Flourish and Blott Bookstore not far away, and with the power of the Unbreakable Vow, he immediately felt the magical riot erupting from the little mixed-race Veela.

"..."

Elena pouted aggrievedly, turned her head and ignored Dumbledore.

Following Elena's line of sight, Dumbledore saw, not far from the two of them, a half-eaten ball of chocolate ice cream lying quietly on the stone floor.

On the stone steps where Elena should have been sitting, Draco Malfoy huddled up, his slippery pale blond hair spread over his dazzlingly red face. His whole body was trembling, and his eyes were filled with the fear of escaping from death.

"Oh... okay, but after you learn to control magic, don't accidentally hurt others because of things like this."

Dumbledore could roughly guess what happened, touched Elena's head with a headache, and said weakly.

"I'll take you to Florin's cold drink shop later and eat until you're happy."

"What happened, Draco? Dumbledore, what did you do to my son?!"

There was a commotion outside the crowd of onlookers. Lucius Malfoy roughly pushed away the people in front of him, ran to Draco Malfoy who was huddled on the ground to check, and angrily took out his wand from his arms. He turned around and roared at Dumbledore.

"Good morning, Lucius." Dumbledore said pleasantly, quietly blocking Elena behind him.

"I think I need an explanation!"

Lucius Malfoy stared at Dumbledore with his cold eyes, the anger in his eyes almost bursting out.

"As you can see, Lucius," Dumbledore said with a calm smile.

"It's just a small accident between children. After all, you and I can't predict things like magic riots in advance... It is usually difficult for young wizards who have not yet entered school to control their power when they are emotionally excited. .”

"Oh?" Lucius Malfoy asked sarcastically, narrowing his eyes dangerously and looking at the silver-haired little girl huddled behind Dumbledore.

"This is called...a little accident?"

"I think Mr. Malfoy may need to learn more about how to get along with girls correctly."

Dumbledore shrugged and said helplessly.

"You know, there are not a few little witches in Hogwarts."

"Mr. Malfoy, I can prove that it was your son who first wanted to grab the girl, which caused her to riot with magic after being frightened. Fortunately, Dumbledore arrived in time and saved your son."

At this time, Mrs. Malkin suddenly came out, looked at Lucius Malfoy and said.

"Yes, before this, the little girl never said a word."

A wizard in the crowd also nodded and echoed.

"Yes, luckily Dumbledore is here."

"That one was a wandless spell, right? As expected of Dumbledore..."

Immediately afterwards, the wizards who witnessed the whole process also chimed in and described the whole story.

"...Thank you very much, Dumbledore. Let's go!"

Lucius Malfoy's face turned livid, and after forcing himself to say thank you, he roughly picked up Draco Malfoy, who was cowering on the ground, and prepared to leave.

"Wait, why are you leaving? It's just an accident. I haven't entered the store to measure the size yet."

Draco Malfoy stood up and glanced at Elena, who looked like she was watching the show. Suddenly throwing away his father's hand, he stood there with a stubborn expression on his face, raised his head, and looked at Lucius Malfoy without fear.

"If you haven't finished buying the book after I take the measurements, I'll go to the wand shop myself."

"snort."

Lucius Malfoy lowered his head, glanced at Draco Malfoy coldly, raised his eyebrows, snorted noncommittally, said nothing, and didn't even look at Dumbledore and Elena. He turned around and walked straight to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

"Well, Professor Dumbledore, I haven't finished bargaining yet..."

Elena gently tugged on Dumbledore's sleeve and said cautiously.

Although this matter was generally not her fault, and Dumbledore was obviously partial to her, she still felt a little guilty after almost hurting someone.

"I'm really scared of you. Forget it, honey, I've made all your clothes for you for free."

Hearing what the silver-haired little Loli said, Mrs. Malkin, who was standing at the door, waved her hands with a headache, looked at Elena and smiled.

"I think I may understand why Dumbledore brought you here. It seems that it won't be long before another amazing witch appears in Hogwarts."

"Huh? It's a deal, thank you to the beautiful Madam Malkin!"

Elena blinked in surprise, nodded sharply, and agreed quickly, then raised her head and looked at Dumbledore and said happily.

"Then let's set off quickly? The target is Florin's cold drink shop!"

(Hey, I finished writing it at the last minute and uploaded it!!!)

(I am asking for recommendation votes. It’s a chapter of nearly 4,000 words. As a new author, I really can’t balance the word count of just 2,000 and ensure coherence.)

(For the solemn statement, there is no male protagonist in this book, pure Qingyuri, and the little boys are all beaten up by the girls - after all, if you think back to your experiences in junior high school and elementary school, well, you will happily think of that girl who chased you for a long time. The years of beating the little boy with eyes.)

I am a meow.

Please vote for recommendation! ! !

Ying ying ying, meow meow, coo coo.
