NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 9 Deception
Dear (smeared ink) Draco,
I feel great at Hogwarts and Slytherin is comfortable (waiting for your arrival). I know a lot of people (a pool of dizzy ink), so I won’t introduce them to you.
I am writing this letter purely because my yoyo - the owl is so boring, let it out and let it fly, if you can, you can let it hover around Malfoy Manor for a few days.
Yours, Aphra Greengrass.
……
Draco held up the letter, and the sunlight filtered through, making the ink marks particularly clear.
Pansy and Daphne were sitting together chatting. Seeing Draco looking at the few lines of words idly, Pansy asked: "Who wrote this?"
"Aphrodite," Draco replied boredly, "Sent from Hogwarts."
"Hogwarts? Did she say how life was at Hogwarts? Is it fun?" Pansy asked curiously.
"Didn't mention it much." Draco was a little dissatisfied. He pointed to the smeared ink, "Obviously this was a letter she had thought of on a whim and hadn't thought of yet."
Yoyo is hovering in the sky.
"Ah, you can see that this is my sister's owl." Daphne realized belatedly, "It's really annoying. She didn't even write to us. It must be because Hogwarts is so fun that she forgot about it. Me and Leah.”
"She didn't write to you?" Draco smiled, folded the letter with satisfaction, and then stood up, "I'll go back to the room to answer the letter first."
……
It must have been many days when Avro received the reply. Draco had kept her owl for a long time. The key was that Yoyo was actually happy not to come back.
She looked at Draco's reply speechlessly.
"I know, stand down - by the way, come to my house for Christmas."
Little brat.
……
Christmas is coming.
After packing some books, Aphra took the box and boarded the Hogwarts Express home.
She was sitting quietly in the cubicle alone, but two rude guys opened the door directly.
Fred and George sat down and smiled maliciously at her.
"What?" Aphra calmly continued to write her homework. She almost finished it in school, but one day before the holiday, Professor Snape assigned a new paper.
"Leave your address and I'll send you a Christmas gift in two days." Fred's tone was sincere. If she ignored his wandering eyes, maybe Avro would believe that he was sincere.
These two guys were causing trouble in Hogwarts every day. They seemed to have been punished by Filch a few days ago. I don't know what they did again.
Avro raised the corners of her lips, "Okay."
As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper and quickly wrote down the address of Malfoy Manor.
She handed the paper to George opposite. There was just an ordinary address on it, with no clues.
They looked at each other, as if surprised that the operation went smoothly.
"As a courtesy, you have to give me your address and I will give you a Christmas gift." Avro wrote the paper calmly and patted Fred's hand to avoid pressing her book.
"George, you give it."
Avro handed the quill in her hand to George. George thought about it and wrote a lot of English.
Avro took it and took a look, and found exactly which room it was. Sixth floor of The Burrow, Ottery-St. Catchpole, Devon, England?
They live on the sixth floor? She thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
"Merry Christmas."
……
The Hogwarts Express stopped steadily, and through the window, Aphra saw many parents or children standing and waiting.
Avro passed through the crowd and quickly got out of the car. Draco stood yawning and impatiently.
When he saw Aphra, he took two steps this way. Avro ruffled his light blond hair and ignored his struggle.
"Why is it so slow? Isn't it boring to be on the train?" Draco muttered.
"It's okay. I finished all my homework and read a book for a while." Avro can spend the entire holiday without any burden.
A ball of white ball "rolled" over and rubbed around Avro's feet.
Avro looked at it carefully and then picked it up, "Lucky, where is your master?"
Draco stared at Lucky curiously, "That's a terrible name."
Avro shrugged, "I like it."
"Hey, Aphra!" Oliver panted and ran out of the car, "There were too many people just now, and it just jumped out and couldn't catch it... I'd say it's harder to stop than the Quaffle. too much."
As soon as Draco saw the red badge on his body, he took a step back and wrinkled his nose.
"Hey, is this your brother? You look really alike." He looked at Draco again.
Avro returned the luck to Oliver and smiled without saying a word.
In fact, the two are quite similar, with light blond hair, but Aphra's eyes are bluer, while Draco's are more gray-blue.
The two of them stood together, one competing with the other in an exquisite and beautiful manner, which looked very eye-catching.
They stood together and knew each other very well.
It's no wonder that Oliver admits his mistake, which makes everyone a little confused.
Draco blushed, "I'm not her brother!"
From Avro's point of view, it was no surprise that Draco would retort, because Draco always loved to compete with her in all aspects, so how could he be willing to be her younger brother.
"Oliver, I only have two sisters and no brothers. These are my friends." Avro changed the subject casually, "Are you bringing luck home during the holidays?"
"Take it back, check its body, cast some disease-preventing spells and so on... After all, it was wild before."
When Draco heard this, he silently took a step back, quite disgusted.
"Then I'll leave first without disturbing you." Oliver nodded.
As soon as Oliver left, Draco asked angrily, "If I'm not mistaken, that's a Gryffindor, right?"
"Yes." Avro nodded casually, and the two of them walked through Station Nine and Three-Quarters and came outside.
"My dad once said that Gryffindor is the stupidest. How can you make friends with them?"
"..." If he knew that she was not only dealing with a Gryffindor... but not only Gryffindor, but also Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw...
"That's because you're not here," Avro deceived him seriously, "I don't even have anyone I like in Slytherin."
"Oh?" Draco froze on the spot, feeling smug, "Are you serious? I know it's hard for you to live without me."
At this time, Aphra had already walked up to the Malfoy couple and greeted them.
