[HP] love

In the end, Hill explained the real purpose of the mirror to Allen, and of course this also led to his endless complaints for several days.This led Hill to a conclusion that although some things can be enjoyed for a while, the subsequent pain seems to last longer.

These days, Hill spent all his time in a daze, which made him almost miss the most exciting two weeks of the Hogwarts school year.First, at the Halloween dinner, the heavy-tasting Professor Quirrell once again showed his weak nature. He was frightened by a foul-smelling troll and fainted in the hall under the eyes of everyone, becoming a Slytherin The latest joke.Furthermore, during the Quidditch match, the Slytherins each had a piece of promotional props produced by themselves, and the entire academy was mobilized to fill the sky of the Quidditch pitch with great fanfare and grandeur, but they unexpectedly lost game!The Savior of Gryffindor caught the Snitch in a dramatic, almost cheating way.

Seeing Harry Potter and his companions being swarmed away by the Gryffindors, the Slytherins walked back dejectedly in their soiled robes.No one cheered, not even a voice could be heard, and everyone just walked back to the common room in silence.

Now it's not just Hill who feels bad mood, the whole Slytherin is filled with oppressive atmosphere, which is mixed with a bit of unwillingness.Hill saw that big man in Flint sitting on the sofa with his head downcast, without the slyness of his usual jokes.Prefect Bob stood beside him, as if he wanted to comfort him, but he hesitated to speak.Even Draco, who hasn't joined the team yet.There was an expression of resentment on his face, and he was muttering something, but he didn't express it loudly like usual.

Hill's heart was also heavy, and Slytherin had been a badge of honor for the three years since he had been enrolled.Whether it is No.1 in academics, No.1 in Quidditch, or No.1 in the Academy Cup, it has always been theirs.They have such achievements, so they can be proud, they can look down on Gryffindor-born headmasters, and they can ignore the envy of other houses.But this time, they actually lost!

Hill always thought that he didn't have any so-called sense of belonging to Slytherin. He just happened to have the surname Stoke, happened to be barely a nobleman, and just happened to be assigned to Slytherin. These identities didn't bring him anything. Substantial superiority has instead become a burden on him mentally and even physically.Hill felt that he only needed to spend seven years here and work hard to build a piece of property of his own to say goodbye to all this.But seeing Slytherin's defeat in Quidditch, he realized for the first time that the name Slytherin had been deeply engraved in his blood, becoming a part of his life, which could never be erased.

All of a sudden, it was 150 points less than Gryffindor. For Slytherin, who had won the Academy Cup for six consecutive years, it was almost hopeless.Flint felt that this was all his fault, he took all the faults into his arms, a strong sense of self-blame filled his whole body, and he didn't even want to raise his head to look at the faces in the lounge.

"It's no big deal, Flint," Allen was the first person who couldn't help but speak, and he was indeed the most popular in Slytherin, "Gryffindor will lose all his points in a few days." light!"

"Yeah, don't worry about it so much, it's not your fault, Flint." Prefect Bob immediately picked up the conversation and sat next to Flint, "We're not far behind them, and Haribo It was all luck to catch the Snitch, look at his broom!"

"Don't care so much," even Draco raised his head arrogantly, and said disdainfully, "I will join the team next year and ask my dad to buy eleven Nimbus 2000s. With my strength, I can beat That scar head is a very simple matter!"

Hill looked at him embarrassingly. I really don't know how this child was spoiled. It is really unflattering to say such words in such an atmosphere, although he is also kind.Thankfully, no one cares about that now, let alone he's a Malfoy.

"Flint," Edwin said seeing that Flint hadn't spoken. He still spoke in such a serious tone, but in such a situation he seemed extremely calm and trustworthy, "We earn back the few points we have. That's it!"

Hearing this, Flint stood up suddenly, and he looked at Edwin with a determined face, "You're right, Kent. We just earn back the points we lost. There is nothing to be depressed about. Slytherin never Will not be afraid of failure!" He looked down at the teammates sitting around him, "This is the point lost by our Quidditch team, we can earn it back by ourselves."

"Charms is just a small case, just wait and see, captain!"

"I think there will be an extra inch in every history of magic homework in the future, how about it?"

"..."

It was the first time that Hill knew that Slytherins would have such passion. Looking at the Slytherins around who expressed their wishes to Captain Flint, he even had an impulse, which made his blood boil.

"Flint, I'll help too, we're all Slytherins, aren't we?" he said firmly, standing on the edge of the circle.

"Haha, of course, you are not only a Slytherin, but also a member of our team, and you are indispensable!" Flint instead walked over from the crowd and patted him hard. The back, as if expressing something.

Maybe it's not so bad to indulge once in a while, is it?Does that mean that it is possible to do some things that you have always wanted to do?Hill looked at the high spirits in the lounge with flickering eyes, and the restored spirit of the students in Slytherin House, thinking so.

This is the low point of Slytherin, but it seems to be the turning point of Hill Stoke.

From that day on, Slytherin started an unprecedented campaign to increase points.They raised their hands enthusiastically and actively in all classes. This phenomenon surprised all the professors. They were used to Slytherin's hiding and clumsiness. rare.

Only Professor Snape was very satisfied. Although he didn't show it, some students said that they saw that the corners of his mouth were raised by an average of one degree recently.

Allen and Edwin have hardly seen Hill recently except in class. He seems to be tinkering with alchemy.I don't know why, this semester he seems to be particularly obsessed with this.

With Christmas fast approaching, Hill feels a growing sense of urgency about his plans.For three consecutive days, he hadn't returned to the dormitory just before the curfew.If Mrs. Pince hadn't driven him away, he might have stayed in the library forever.

On this day, Hill's research has achieved great results. He tried to change the third rune on the back of the mirror into gifu, which means gift and also represents a contract of love or influence.If he is right, the mirror this time already has the prototype of the Mirror of Erised, perhaps it can be said to be a single magic mirror.Although he might not be able to do complex and profound alchemy like the Mirror of Erised in his life, just this small step of success now makes him very happy.

Returning to the dormitory with a happy mood, Hill looked at the curtains that had not been drawn and blurted out in surprise: "Allen, you haven't slept yet!" He remembered that this lazy man would go to bed on time at ten o'clock every day, but now It was nearly midnight.

"Merlin, you still remember that there is such a person as Alan!" Alan expressed his anger with an aristocratic aria, "How many days have you not appeared in front of us!"

"Don't you see me every day in class?" Hill said calmly.

"So, Mr. Stoke, are we going to restore our identities from friends to ordinary classmates who can only talk every day in class?" Allen's tone was actually a little gloomy.

"Well, Alan, you are right." Hill sat on his bed with some annoyance, "I ignored your feelings, as a friend."

"Hmm!" Allen was satisfied with the apology, and he nodded, "Then, Mr. Stock, I sincerely invite you to visit Darko Manor during Christmas. I believe my parents will welcome you .You will also see Mr. Edwin Kent then."

Thinking of Christmas, Hill's heart twitched violently.He has been selectively forgetting what to do during Christmas, or he doesn't want to think about it at all.Seeing Alan's expectant eyes, his heart warmed. He knew that Alan sent the invitation because he knew that he didn't want to stay in Stoke's castle at all, and he was even afraid that he would reject Edwin's invitation. Pull it as a backing.But he also understood that this Christmas, he had no choice, and the big bed in Malfoy Manor seemed to be his only home.

"I'm afraid I can't go. I have to work part-time during this vacation," Hill said with some regret, "but I think there is one more thing to trouble you."

"what?"

"Remember that mirror from before?" Hill blinked mysteriously.

"Of course." Allen twitched his eyebrows, of course he remembered the mirror that made him embarrassed.

"I've perfected it!" Speaking of his research results, Hill was a little excited, "I changed the third rune into gifu, that is to say, the current mirror can really show who is in your heart." The one I love the most!"

Hearing this, Alan's eyes widened.

"Maybe, I really need your help, buddy." Hill said shyly.

"what?"

"Cedric reminded me that this is a good business opportunity. Alan, would you lend me some start-up capital?" Hill looked at Alan with some embarrassment, he had no other choice.

There was silence for a while, just when Hill thought he was unwilling, Alan said: "Then, I want a dividend."

"Of course!"

"Also, don't forget to give me a mirror!"

"..."
