The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

Chapter 229 The Belated Reunion

Early the next morning, it was dark. Eugenie wiped her face and got up. The professor had disappeared. She reached into the quilt and felt it. It was also cold. The bed was already empty.

She has reason to suspect that her parents don't usually live according to this kind of schedule, but she has never seen how her parents get along when they are together - because in the past very short reunions, her father only came to see her, and he was worried. Yeah, I didn’t dare to stay any longer.

Ms. Helena said that it was her mother who pursued her. Maybe her mother is still more proactive. She is a little curious. In her impression, her mother has always been gentle and gentle. To say that she is proactive is a bit hard to imagine.

Her mother is a Virgo, and her father is a Taurus like her, but one is a Taurus in April and the other is a Bull in May.According to Helen, her family is all silent earth signs, and once the cold war breaks out, the cold war will be endless.

Even if the professor, a Capricorn, is added, the situation will not change at all.

But Eugenie felt good about herself. She thought she was a bit lively in comparison, although Helen disagreed. Helen's extroverted personality probably felt that only social gangsters like Fred and George could be called lively.

She turned over the quilt to get some air. The elves were always paying attention to her movements and had already ran in holding clothes.

"Morning, Merry Christmas~" She smiled and rubbed the ears of each elf, and then squatted down to help one of them adjust the snowflake badge pinned to his clothes.

The elves on the island all know that rubbing the ears is a way for the little master to express affection. After they gradually adapt to it, they will feel a little disappointed after not being rubbed for a long time.

Eugenie drew an oval in the air, turned out to be a floor-to-ceiling mirror facing the window, and cast a warming charm on her silver dress and lace gloves. "Bring me the paper airplane and magic carpet later."

She was fully prepared and set off on the paper airplane. There was only a breeze today, and the paper airplane, which had not been used for a long time, finally appeared again.

They would pass the gate test in the stone hut, so Eugenie floated to wait near the landing place where she first came here.

After a while, white light groups appeared in the air one after another, floating like cotton wool. Human figures could be vaguely seen in the light groups - as well as the color of the clothes, especially black, which was eye-catching.

"Mom!" She flew the plane to catch up with one of them. As soon as the light group landed, she turned over and rushed up to give her a hug around her neck. "Long time no see!"

Voldemort was in the school last year, and later some signs showed that someone in the school might have tipped off Quilot, and even provided strange dark creatures, so his mother could not come to visit.

Later, due to the intense tasks and changes, her parents spent a huge amount of gold Galleons due to the agreement with Dumbledore, and had to run a business outside. Only she is suitable to hide in this closed environment for a long time to ensure personal safety, until now The curse was successfully removed.

The first peaceful Christmas, the whole family sat together and had a meal. It was such a simple wish. It took more than ten years to realize it with the help of everyone.

Eugenie finally let go of the hand holding her neck. She looked at it carefully, then formed a circle with her thumb and index finger, wrapping it around the top of her mother's wrist. Heartache overflowed from her eyes, "Mom, you have lost weight."

"It's you who has grown up, Sissi, my child." Eloise hugged her into her arms, hugging her tightly and letting go after a long time.

She put her hand on Eugenie's forehead and checked the height. "You are already so tall." She held her face and looked lovingly at the eyes that were almost the same as her own. "More importantly, I learned a lot." A lot of interesting knowledge and I see it enriching your life.”

Her father's eyes were a pool of blue. When she wrote to inquire, her mother liked to describe those eyes as the ocean in an extremely cold place, mixed with many broken blue ice cubes, melancholy and mysterious.

Eugenie stared intently for a long time. She only saw joy and timidity in her father's eyes. The so-called melancholic temperament and glacial brokenness probably came from her youth, or her mother put on a layer of love. Only filters can be used to see those.

She looked at her biological father quietly, not even feeling as overjoyed as she had imagined.

Happy but not that happy.

In the past ten years, they probably haven't spent more than 24 hours together. Her personality is more inclined to experience things personally, rather than imagining her father into a perfect image under the beautification of time and distance, so——

strangeness.

However, things will get better gradually in the future, and it takes time to accept.

She opened her arms and gave her father a shallow hug, and then gave the professor who just said good night yesterday a more sincere hug.

It is easy to understand that the professor's current inability to respond positively to hugs is influenced by his personal experience.

But she saw her father's hesitant arms opening up. He should have wanted to pat her back gently or hug her tightly like her mother did, but after hesitating again and again, he put his arms down without even touching her. Just like he didn't dare to pick up an extremely thin glass handicraft, he habitually didn't dare to approach it.

Even though he already knew that he would not bring any danger to her.

"It's okay, father, I don't have any curse on me anymore, don't worry." Eugenie emphasized. Some things must be explained clearly and several times, because knowing it in one's heart and hearing it with one's own ears bring great benefits. People's feelings are different.

He was really scared. He had seen with his own eyes that his father and brother were so broken that they could not be put back together. The shadow left by them when they were young could not be erased.

Eugenie stood still in front of him and finally decided to leave a gentle kiss on her father's cheek, which seemed to make him feel better.

She waved her magic wand, then climbed onto the paper plane, patted it like a horse, and then waved her hand, "Mom, let's go on this ride. You must not have tried it before. I can fly very steadily."

Snape curled his lips and disagreed completely, "Is it stable? Provided there is no wind."

Eloise was very happy. She pulled her husband, who was still a little slow, and stepped on it. "Our Sissy's hobbies are just different."

Eugenie blinked at the professor and silently asked him if he wanted to compromise again. There were only four people left on the plane.

Soon she received a look that meant "Don't even think about it."

Well, as expected.

Reluctantly she took the flying magic carpet out of her bag.

Eloise touched the paper airplane with curiosity. She had seen magic carpets before. Although she was a Muggle, she had lived in the magical world for many years, but flying with a paper airplane was unheard of. It was probably an interesting invention within the family.
