Chapter 382 380. Early Christmas gift

Asia left the castle in a daze.

She was like a body that had lost its soul. She didn't know what she should do or what she could do.

The look that Floyd gave her yesterday made Asia clearly see her future destiny. She was sure that Floyd heard what Flint said to her.

No woman can tolerate her fiancé making such remarks to other women, let alone the jealous Freud.

She arrived at the Black Lake. It was still class time, and there were not many students skating and entertaining in the lake. Asia's arrival did not attract anyone's attention.

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

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

That was when Hermione was digging out the herbs yesterday. She helped to refill them. Hermione also told her to bury them firmly to prevent the snow from melting and water from seeping in and leaving it here again. A hole.

Yesterday's experience is still vivid in his mind, but for Asia now, it seems as long as a century.

She had no intention of asking Hermione to protect her. Even if they could really become the masters of this castle again in the future, the order in the castle still continued to operate according to the rules set by the principal. .

Hermione could protect her outside the castle where others wouldn't notice, but inside the castle it was beyond their reach.

If she kept praying, she believed that Hermione would eventually help her find a way, but even if there was a way in the end, it would be a huge risk.

Asia didn't want to see that result. She would rather sacrifice herself to learn about this matter than let it involve more people, whether it was her parents or Hermione, who was now her only friend.

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

"Asia?"

Asia did not look back immediately. She simply cleared up the expression on her face and showed the same soft smile every time she came to meet Hermione.

"Good afternoon, Hermione."

The sun shone on her body, and the light 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 held the small basket used to temporarily store herbs and sat next to Asia.

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

"We can meet in the castle on Christmas Day." Hermione held her hands on the grass, raised her head and looked up at the blue sky, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth unconsciously, "Yesterday we were still talking about this before we were separated. Well, it turned out that he had already opened his mouth to me that night. "

Asia's face was startled.

"Have you found a dance partner? Who is it?"

"That's what I told you yesterday. Who else could it be? Last night he called me to the driver's seat in front of the carriage and talked a lot. In the end, he managed to find a somewhat romantic excuse to send out the invitation. Originally, I thought he was going to say something like, 'Hey, Hermione, you must be free on Christmas night, right? How about we hook up and go dance in the Great Hall?' But he was more thoughtful than I was. It’s much better.”

Asia was holding her robe with her fingers in a daze. 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 in her heart. mood.

But she quickly put this strange feeling out of her mind and blessed her from the bottom of her heart.

"Congratulations on that, Hermione."

"What about you? Asia must be very popular in the castle, right? Have you promised anyone who will dance at the ball then? We will have to pretend to be acquainted for the first time."

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 afraid of interacting with strangers and I can't dance."

"Then, if I invite Asia to dance, will you accept it?"

Hermione's eyes curved into crescent shapes, and she looked into Asia's eyes with a smile.

Asia had been acting a little dazed today, and when she heard Hermione's words, she became even more absent-minded for a moment.

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

"Jon will definitely only dance the opening lead dance at most. The rest of the time can of course be at my own disposal."

Asia felt tears welling up in her eyes, but she finally let her hold them back and shook her head in refusal.

"Forget it, I probably won't even go to the auditorium on the day of the dance."

Hermione blinked at her and didn't ask why. Instead, she asked after two seconds of silence as if giving Asia time to think.

"Isn't there something you want to tell me today?"

Being stared at by her like this, Asia's eyes subconsciously avoided her in a panic, and she answered without any hesitation.

"No. Why do you ask that?"

"Because you seem a little weird today."

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

When Asia said this, she seemed to have made up her mind. With a solemn expression, she took off the bracelet she had always worn on her wrist and handed it to Hermione.

"I told you, it was a birthday present from my mother, and it's the most precious thing I've ever had. I could tell you liked it Hermione, so I gave it as a Christmas present. Here it is, you must keep it well."

Hermione didn't show much surprise at Asia's sudden gift. She slowly took off the bracelet.

"There are still two weeks until Christmas. Even if you want to give me a Christmas gift, why do you have to give it so many days in advance?"

Asia also had a smile on her 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 regret it again when I wait until Christmas, so I just give it to you now, before I can regret it. send out."

After saying that, as if she had completely let go of her worries, she immediately stood up from the grass and prepared to return to the castle.

"I'm going back. There's no holiday for Christmas, so the professors have added a lot of homework these days. I probably won't have time to come see you again, so don't worry too much if you don't see me for a few days. I I’m just writing hard in the library and catching up on my homework.”

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

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

"Just wait for me here for five minutes, and then you can leave when I come back."

She warned Asia, then turned around and trotted in the direction of the carriage. Her long chestnut hair was jumping among the snowy woods, like an elf active in the world.

Asia did not 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 would still be reluctant to let go.

Hermione indeed didn't let her wait long, not even five minutes before she ran back again.

"Since your Christmas gift has been given to me in advance, I won't delay giving it to you until Christmas Day. Take this, just like the bracelet you gave me, I will keep it forever Wear it, and you should always carry it with you, and don't let others see it. This thing is considered a contraband in the castle, so you must keep it. "

Asia looked at the crimson feather handed to her by Hermione and did not recognize what it was.

But she didn't care what the value of this feather was. As long as it was given to her by Hermione, she would always keep it with her.

Just like Hermione held her bracelet without hesitation, Asia did not hesitate at all when accepting the feather. She put the feather into the inner pocket of her robe and said seriously.

"I will always carry it with me, always carry it with me!"

After making the promise, she did not stay any longer. She waved to Hermione and trotted away in the direction of Hogwarts Castle.

"Goodbye, Hermione."

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

"Goodbye, Asia."

For two whole days, Asia was in peace.

Just like the expression Freud left on her before was actually an illusion. She was thinking too much about the so-called revenge. Even if there was great hatred between students, it could not involve human lives. .

However, in the evening when such a lucky idea arose in Asiya's mind, when she was about to go to the auditorium to have lunch, she was knocked unconscious with a stun spell from behind.

She has been very careful these days. Even if she doesn't have many friends in school, she will stick close to her classmates whenever she leaves the dormitory and goes out for activities.

But even so, that evening, Asia was attacked and dragged away by Freud and his gang in front of two female classmates around her.

Before leaving, Floyd only left one sentence with a grim expression.

"If anyone asks, you'd better say you didn't see her at all this afternoon, otherwise 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.

But Freud didn't seem to care about how they would react. After finishing his threats, he left with her two men who were holding Asia's arms.

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

Although the tables, chairs and benches were scattered around here, there were obvious signs that they had been tidied up before. Freud had already planned it. The calmness these days was just her doing some preparation work.

"I've given you plenty of chances, Connair."

Floyd's face was frighteningly calm. She held a bottle of blood-red potion in her hand and was pouring the blood-like liquid in the bottle onto the ground while talking to Asiya.

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

"You are so slippery. You have escaped from my hands many times before, but this also gave me time to prepare. If I didn't have these preparations, the chance of success of directly cursing you would be too small. Now it has increased the possibility of success by at least 30%. This is great, right? It is the fate you choose to bear."

Even though she was mentally prepared, when she really had to face such a scene, Asiya's face still showed a deadly paleness.

"You heard it that day, Miss Floyd. I have already refused. I didn't want to do that. I didn't."

"I never said it was your fault, Conrad. I said that you were not wrong, I was not wrong, Flint was not wrong, and no one was wrong. But now there is a problem. It is meaningless to find out who is at fault. We can just deal with the problem itself."

The red liquid soaked the magic words carved on the ground. Floyd looked up at Asiya calmly.

"We all want to solve this problem, so you should be happy to help me. As long as you solve this problem and make Flint no longer obsessed with you, it will be good for all of us, right? And all you have to pay is to become a blood cursed orc."

Hearing the term blood cursed orc, Asiya's pupils shrank obviously.

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

It can be said that if she had to bear this kind of thing, she would rather die!

"Bang!"

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

"You don't have to sacrifice your life. As long as you become that kind of monster, Flint will definitely not spend his mind on you anymore. He will love me wholeheartedly. What a perfect solution, right, Miss Conrad!"
