Chapter 4 4
Although the desserts are exquisite, they are all quite small.
Feiyan opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, the spirit snake had already eaten up the piece of snack.Only then did he really react, and he slammed the lid on the box to block the hand that continued to take the dessert: "It was Feiyan's negligence—" he said, his face turned pale, and he spoke quickly: "This dessert is actually I bought it wrong... I will order a new box for you." While speaking, he stared at the snake, as if he was trying hard to see any changes on his face - unfortunately, there was none.His prefect was a little dissatisfied with his behavior of covering the box, and frowned slightly.Feiyan insisted on protecting him from touching him, and they confronted each other like this for a while, until voices gradually came from outside the classroom.
Feiyan seemed to wake up suddenly from a dream, packed the things into the bag, and then rushed out of the classroom at a speed of [-] meters with the box in her arms, leaving only one sentence: "Feiyan resigns."
He couldn't explain why he acted at this time - although he didn't know whether the love potion he made would be effective, after all, his potion didn't meet the standard.
Maybe it's a guilty conscience.he thinks.But—what are you guilty of?
When he was going out, he happened to meet the poisonous dragon Silver Whip in the seventh grade. This Slytherin senior raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at the classroom and at Feiyan who was leaving in a hurry, as if he didn't understand what was going on there. What could have caused him to lose his composure - he clearly remembered that their Slytherin's unlovable, arrogant prefect had already gone to the classroom, where they would logically meet.Feiyan didn't follow the spirit snake, but left by herself... Even if he had something urgent to do later, he shouldn't behave like this, you know, in the eyes of that Hufflepuff, nothing is more important than the spirit snake.
The seventh-grade Slytherin walked into the classroom slowly, pulled out his wand in every possible way, and conjured a peach blossom at the tip of the wand.The moment he entered the door, he happened to see Spirit Snake turning his head - his eyes passed him and landed on Feiyan who was going away, and then he was always cold. The arrogant Slytherin prefect looked at the back, thought for a while, and suddenly smiled.That smile is actually very stunning, especially when it appears on Spirit Snake's ice-carved jade-like face.But Dulong Yinbian didn't feel it, he subconsciously shook his hand, almost shaking the peach blossom to the ground.
"I always thought his smile was weird," Silverwhip the Dragon said at dinner, and he took it as a small talk to some of the younger Slytherins. Like something pleasant."
"What's so strange about the smile when you think of happy things?" the third-year Yue Nv Jian asked. This Slytherin girl obviously didn't fit in with this house, her eyes were watery, and she spoke timidly.
"It's just because I think of happy things that it seems strange," said Dulong Yinbian, and he ate a mouthful of fruit gracefully: "After all, that person is a spirit snake.
What is pleasant to him—mostly unpleasant to you. "
Feiyan was called to stop the third time when she failed to catch the walnut thrown by the Holy Fire Order.
Hufflepuff's captain gave him a time-out gesture before waving at him
"What's the matter?" Sheng Huo Ling flew to his side, still holding two walnuts in his hand: "Your performance today is only one-third of your level, which is not very good."
"Sorry," he said in a flat tone without explaining, "It was my mistake, and I will make adjustments as soon as possible."
The holy fire ordered the two walnuts to be thrown and caught.He waited for a while, and when he realized that Feiyan had no intention of continuing the conversation, he spread his hands helplessly: "Well then... I look forward to your next performance. You are a light and agile swallow. When you are in your best condition, no one will talk to you." I can surpass you. Although there will be mistakes, I believe it must be an accident." After speaking, he smiled and blinked his eyes.In the evening, the setting sun reflected the afterglow into his eyes, and his eyes were filled with those warm lights - even though he couldn't hear what he was saying, this move still made the girls who came to see him train scream .
Feiyan remained expressionless, picked up the broom and flew high.
As the training continued, Feiyan made a request to release five golden snitches for him to capture.The Holy Fire Order agreed.When the golden snitches were flying all over the field, Feiyan, who had been making mistakes before, returned to normal. In less than 10 minutes, he caught three snitches.Those golden balls flapped their wings feebly in his hands, trying to break free and fly back into the air and scurry around.
The flame gave him a thumbs up at the goal.He flitted over indifferently, chasing the next snitch.
It was already seven o'clock when the training ended.Everyone was exhausted after three hours of intense practice. They landed on the ground and headed for the lounge with their brooms on their shoulders.No one was willing to talk, except for the vajra, the fourth-year batsman who looked very excited and was babbling on about religion with the Qimei stick.
They cleaned and tidied up the broom and put it in the cabinet.To complete these things first, he stood in the center of the lounge and clapped his hands: "It's another beautiful training - let's take a good rest! Only with better energy can we play better balls, so , we can bring a wonderful performance to those our schools!"
Only the applause of the eyebrow stick and the vajra responded to him.The former is out of politeness, the latter is from the heart.
It was already 07:30 when Feiyan walked into the lobby, and the dinner was already halfway through. He had just sat down on the long Hufflepuff table, and before he had a bite of his meal, he heard someone calling him.
"Feiyan," Gryffindor's Junzijian came to his side panting, staring at his black veil blindfold, trying to see his eyes through the blindfold: "The professor of herb class just came and said Temporary extra class tonight - go to the third greenhouse at 08:30, today is the full moon, the most suitable for picking epiphyllum."
"I see," he nodded, "thank you."
"You're welcome..." Jun Zijian said, "I'm going first, my sister is still waiting for me."
Before he could respond, the sixth-year Gryffindor briskly walked away.
Alone, he turned back and swallowed his dinner.When he just turned around, he had quickly scanned the entire lobby, especially at the long table of Slytherin several times.His prefect wasn't there: either in the library, or working on potions with the Potions master.At that moment, I couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or happiness in my heart - he left in a hurry in the afternoon, and he didn't know whether the potion had worked or not.But Feiyan was sure that, regardless of whether it took effect or not, he was unwilling to face the spirit snake.
At least for now, he doesn't want to.
Dinner ended at [-]:[-]. He took a quick shower and headed to the third greenhouse with his books. The professor asked them to act in pairs.Green Bamboo Stick was still feeling guilty about the accident in the afternoon, and spontaneously followed behind him to help hold down those restless flower branches so that he could pick them—the epiphyllum had a haughty personality and was very reluctant to be picked off by others, so they all picked each other. Throwing their slender stems and leaves menacingly, whipping anyone who approaches them and throwing dirt at them.
As Hufflepuff's Chaser, Feiyan plucked the flowers with several light and quick movements.Despite his flexible posture, there was still a lot of mud on his clothes.Compared to everyone's distressed appearance in the greenhouse, the flowers in the group of Xiyue Dao and Gu Jian look much more well-behaved——
"You ask me how I did it?" Xi Yuedao said, he casually grabbed the branches and leaves of Epiphyllum, so that Gu Jian could pick the beautiful flower that shone under the moon: "It's very simple, you just need to Just take a wand and threaten them with fire if they don't cooperate before you do it."
After a long while, Green Bamboo Stick choked out a sentence: "...It really deserves to be the Gryffindor who is the least Gryffindor."
But I have to say that Xiyue Dao's method is still very useful. Under their threat, the flowers with their teeth and claws immediately surrendered obediently and let them pick.The deflowering went very smoothly, and the time for them to finish class was much earlier than expected.
At [-]:[-] in the evening, the professor finally announced the end of get out of class.
"Thank you," said the herbal medicine professor with a smile on his face. "Since this class is extra, there will be no homework."
The students covered in mud cheered and pushed open the door of the greenhouse, walking together in twos and threes.When Feiyan left, she patted her robe so that it wouldn't look too dirty.
He followed the crowd back to the castle through fields and low bushes.He kept his head down all the way and didn't speak.As he was about to enter the castle, he suddenly heard a few Slytherin students walking in front calling "Prefect".
Feiyan's footsteps paused.He raised his head, facing the lights in the castle, and saw the man standing at the door.His first reaction was that he was very thankful that he had just patted his robes - it made him look clean.With the book in his arms, he walked out of the crowd, came to the Slytherin standing at the gate of the castle, and called out in a low voice: "Prefect of the Snake." After a pause, he asked again: "Why are you here? "
The Slytherin prefect glanced at him, closed the book, and said casually, "Waiting for you."
He was a little dazed, but he quickly covered it up: "Is there anything I need to do?"
"No," Spirit Snake said, "I just came to see you."
That sentence was probably a spell, the effect was comparable to the most powerful exploding spell, and it exploded in Feiyan's heart.He almost exhausted all the strength in his body to manage to stabilize his mind, not to think too much: "...Thank you for thinking of you."
Spirit Snake waved his hand, and when he turned around, the hem of his robe rose and fell.
"Walk."
"……Yes."
It was nearly ten o'clock and there were very few people in the castle.They walked through the long corridor, walked up the stairs, and passed the sleeping portraits and sculptures. The sound of footsteps echoed in the silent corridor, and the candles on the walls illuminated the road, stretching their shadows to overlap.They may have walked for a long time, or they may have only walked for less than 5 minutes.The spirit snake led him to turn a corner again, and stopped in front of the portrait between the two sculptures.
"Peppermint hard candy." Spirit Snake said.
The portrait opened in response.Feiyan stood at the door, looking at the room behind the portrait. He was taken aback for a moment, and then realized where it was——
One of the prefect's many privileges, the exclusive prefect bathroom.
Before he could speak, he heard someone calling him from the door, and his gaze chased after him.Spirit Snake was standing in the room, looking sideways at him.His chin was hidden in the fur collar of his cloak, and the line of his jaw was beautifully messed up—the night at the end of September was already getting cold, and the spirit snake was afraid of the cold, so it would put on its winter clothes earlier than others.The dark cloak set off his long pale blonde curly hair, making it even more beautiful.
Feiyan felt that at a certain moment, his breathing stopped, but in the next second, a word from Spirit Snake made his breathing quicken again——
"Come here," said the snake.
