HP Dawn Night

"Mom, you won't just go shopping with Aunt Narcissa today, will you?"

Covering my face, I watched my mother spread out many small things on my bed-such as various hair ribbons, lace socks, a few pairs of beautiful shoes, pink and tender Underwear and fancy-looking pajamas.

That's all.But why jewel-encrusted caskets, cameo mirrors, pure gold scissors and combs?There are obviously ready-made ones at home!

And that exaggerated ink bottle, and those expensive quills.

Mother!When did the Watsons start going this bling style?

"It's all very necessary!" My mother pulled my hand away, showing me the clean and crisp texture and luxurious visual effect of those clothes.

"This isn't from a clothing store." I casually grabbed a nightgown that was as smooth as water, with a French name embroidered on it with pale gold thread.

"Yes, this is the most popular brand among French witches. After receiving your admission notice, I will write to them, specify the material, style and color, and then ask them to send it to me as soon as possible." Mom's fingers one by one Glide over fabrics that are sleek or smooth or cool or warm.Finally, she waved to me seriously, "Vio, have you read everything I gave you?"

My mother rarely showed me such a serious expression, and I replied obediently: "If you mean "Glory and Eternal Victory-The Watson Family", I have already finished watching it."

"Very good." Mom pointed to the clothes. "They all have the Watson family crest embroidered on them. Do you know what that means?"

"I see."

Of course I understand.

The heirs of every big family have been instilled with the concept of "family first" since childhood. Although my mother usually has a casual style, she can be said to have given me advice in this regard.

"Although your father is Severus is almost unknown, you are also the only heir to the Watson family. There are many people who are coveting our wealth and fame. When you leave the shelter I can give you Afterwards, conspiracy and calculations will surround you." My mother pulled me to the window and opened the curtains, "At Hogwarts, Severus can take care of you instead of me, but you will leave one day We, will inherit everything here, and at that time, if you are not careful, you will put yourself in a desperate situation."

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Watson Manor presents a kind of back-to-basics reality, and the sparkling lake water in the distance is shining with harmless light.

"This manor has survived through the accumulation and inheritance of several generations." Mother looked down at the manicured lawn under her feet expressionlessly. "Although time has changed, some things have not changed."

"I know." My mother and I stood shoulder to shoulder as we watched the sun fade into the distant horizon.

This once bustling and bustling castle has now fallen into near-absolute silence. The last two descendants of the Watson family stand in front of the window, and under their feet is Watson, who has experienced countless stories and legends. Sen Castle.

There is a sense of desolation in my heart.I don't know what my mother is thinking, but she usually shows detachment, vitality, wisdom and innocence in front of me.Speaking of which, in my memory, Watson Manor always closed its doors to thank guests for a long time, and there were very few banquets that my mother took me to.

"Sometimes I feel that I have hidden you too well, so that I missed some opportunities for exercise. I hope you can have the opportunity to figure out the status quo by yourself, so I didn't deliberately instill anything in you." Mom said slowly, she Those slender, pale fingers rested on my shoulders, like invisible pressure.

"Mother……"

"Since you were born, I have been worried that the lack of father's love will cast a shadow on you. Fortunately, there is no." Looking at the unicorn pattern built on the lawn, my mother said, "I am very glad to have you and Severer Si recognizes each other, but a change of surname doesn’t mean everything changes with it.”

"The label on you is 'Watson', so I buy you these gorgeous, frivolous and expensive things, not necessarily because you like them or how good they are, it's just a sign." Mom pressed a little harder, pressing Touched my shoulder.

"Like the white peacock at Malfoy Manor, and Uncle Lucius' snake-like cane, right?" I asked, trying to remember, "or the ladies' rivalry at the banquet?"

Mom paused: "That's about it."

"I see." This time I nodded solemnly again.

In fact, I don't quite understand.

My intuition told me that my mother didn't tell me everything.

"This is for you." Mom picked up a small but heavy wooden box from the small table beside her.I took it and opened it, and lying on the white velvet was a delicate badge——

The crest of the Watson family.

"From now on, your every move represents not only yourself, but also Watson." Mom sighed and kissed the top of my hair. "You must know these things."

I held the cold and hard family crest in a daze for a while—I don't know how long.When I came back to my senses, my mother had already left, and everything on the bed had been sorted and tidied up, and they were put in the suitcase together with the things I bought today.

The badge hurts my palms a bit.I put it back in the box.

Bethany (my new owl) squatted in the cage and honked twice, and I went over and put some owl food in the cage.It kindly let me stroke its soft feathers, the smooth touch made my mood improved a lot.

"It's all necessary, isn't it." I said to it, "I'm grown up."

My mom protected me well over the years, and I was never bullied for not having a dad.The lake surrounding Watson Manor is like a natural, invisible barrier, but now I finally have to leave this glass cover that protects me from the wind and rain.

"I have good news for you," my mother said to me over dinner.

"What is it?" I put down the knife and fork and respectfully waited for my mother's answer.She glanced at me approvingly:

"Today I went to sign the last contract with Weizhard Press. My new book "100 Beauty Charms" will be printed soon. In addition, I decided to start my own brand of beauty potions. A store is going to open in Diagon Alley."

"That's great, Mom." I was a little surprised at why Mom suddenly decided to open a store in Diagon Alley, but before I could ask, she answered the question herself:

"Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to open a little store that sold all sorts of interesting things, and my life would be boring when you left the house. So I decided to find something for myself." Mom said, "My potion is the best seller, why don't I give it an independent brand instead of letting it stay in a small counter?"

"Auntie Narcissa supports it too, right?" I asked.

"Of course, so she can get faster and updated beauty information." Mom changed the topic and turned back to me, "By the way, I think you have to make good arrangements for the next four weeks."

I was already prepared for this: "Of course." I said calmly, "I want to preview my school homework. The first week, Charms; the second week, Transfiguration; the third week, Defense Against the Dark Arts; the last week--"

"Etiquette." My mother elegantly forked a small piece of cake and showed me a standard aristocratic smile, "Although you have never lacked education in this area since you were a child, I still think you need some reinforcement."

"..."

"So I will find time to teach myself." Mom slowly swallowed the small piece of cake, "As for the history of magic, you can spend more time in school, can't you? By the way, Vio, I am very impressed with your grades I have high hopes and hope you don't let me down."

I felt my mouth dry: "Of course not."
