[hp grandchildren] Birdcage

The former gave Rose a hand and let her jump into the room.Then he asked in surprise, "Rose, why did you come in like this?"

"Well," Rose straightened her somewhat messy hair, "Albus wouldn't let me find you. I didn't do it because I was afraid he would be found and I came to see you—otherwise, who would want to appear like this? There is no image of..."

Scorpius laughed shamelessly, causing Rose to roll her eyes at him.

"Cough," Scorpius stopped laughing, "You said Al wouldn't let you come to see me, so what's going on?"

"Sco," Rose put on a serious expression, "What I'm going to say next is very important, you must... listen to me carefully."

Meanwhile, Hugo is waiting for his sister outside the cottage.His blue eyes carefully studied the shape of the hut, well, with all due respect, it's hard not to think of the golden birdcage at the auction.The strange metaphor behind this made him shudder inexplicably.

However, in the next second, he almost jumped up, but he failed to do so, because he was covered by Albus who appeared behind him at some point, and the screams that were about to blurt out could only be reduced to a few A weak "woo hoo".

"Rose's in there, isn't she?" Albus asked him in a deep voice—a deep voice that made him think he heard a call from hell.Albus' hand over his mouth bound him, and he couldn't move his limbs.He could only nod in confusion.

Sister, come and save me——!Hugo cried out weakly in his heart, his face full of tears.If Rose doesn't come out, her own brother will die at the hands of her cousin Albus——

Albus stuffed the handkerchief into Hugo's mouth, glanced at the very disappointed expression on the silly cousin's face, ignored the pleading in the other's eyes, and neatly tied a knot on Hugo's hand with a rope.Then he strode over and opened the door of the hut with the key in his hand, leaving only Hugo struggling in place.

When he came to the bedroom, he was about to open the door to enter, but the door opened first from the inside.It was his cousin Rose who caught his eyes.He had expected to see a smug, triumphant smile on her face, but Rose's reaction was unexpected.She opened her lips slightly at first, surprised by Albus who suddenly appeared outside the door.But soon her lips were closed into a tight line, her beautiful brows were furrowed, her blue pupils were filled with unreadable complex emotions, and it was somewhat obvious that Albus had moved from her A sense of loss of unknown origin can be read in his expression.

What exactly did they talk about?Albus was puzzled by Rose's unusual expression, and the two confronting each other in front of the door were silent for a moment.

"Al," the always smart and clever girl broke the silence between them, but her tone revealed a bit of strange powerlessness, "You...you can do it for yourself." After a while, she seemed to think of something and added. : "Take care of Scott."

"What exactly did you talk about?" Albus couldn't understand Rose's words and actions, and stared at Rose suspiciously.

Rose looked at him for a long time, and finally only sighed. "It's nothing to talk about," she regained her indifferent look, "you can do whatever you want, and I won't interfere with you anymore." After that, she walked out of the hut to find her dumbfounded girl. brother.

Albus pushed open the door suspiciously, and Scorpius was sipping black tea.Seeing that it was Albus who came in, a bright and gentle smile bloomed on his face. "You're back, Al." Scorpius' voice was as gentle as a sun-soaked breeze—or a brook.That was enough to relax Albus' tense nerves, and Albus's expression relaxed before he knew it, giving Scorpius a shallow smile back.

"What were you talking about just now?" Albus sat down beside Scorpius, and asked in a deliberate manner.Scorpius closed his eyes and tasted the aroma of black tea before slowly replying: "It's not a big deal. Rose asked me if I would accept help from the Weasley family—in the form of marriage."

When he heard the first half of the sentence, Albus was surprised for a while—Rose didn't tell him those things?However, the ensuing "marriage" made his heart suddenly cool down.Before he realized it, his hand had secretly clenched into a fist.The green deep pool in the pupil is brewing a gnawing storm.His voice sank unconsciously, as if suppressing the madness that was about to get out of control: "So, did you promise her?"

Resentment, jealousy, anger, these negative emotions surrounded Albus's heart in a big net, gnawing at his flesh and blood.Strange pain spread from limb to bone at the same time, tearing at his last sanity.Those dark, muddy, and unspeakable thoughts jumped in his heart one after another, each thought was so alluring, pulling his mind, and the impact of blood in the pulse became more and more intense.And the culprit who caused all this didn't know it, he just drank another sip of black tea leisurely and calmly.However, if you observe carefully, you will find that the corners of Master Malfoy's slightly raised lips are hidden under the teacup - a sly, joyful smile, and there is a little bit of "instant gain".

"Maybe it's okay to do this..." Scorpius quietly observed Albus's actions and expressions, and as expected, he saw a more sinister look on the other side, "It's just that I didn't promise her."

"Why? Wouldn't the Weasleys be a good choice?" Albus breathed a sigh of relief - perhaps without even realizing it himself.

"If the Malfoy family has to be revitalized through this method, I think Father Heaven and the ancestors of the Malfoy family will not let me go," Scorpius smiled mischievously, "After all, they hate Wes the most. Lai. Rose, Hugo and I have become good friends, is this already the limit of their tolerance?"

"Just because of that?" Albus seemed unwilling to simply let the question go.Scorpius' reasons were too simple to convince him.

"Al," Scorpius narrowed the distance between him and Albus the moment he spoke, his lips almost touching Albus's ear, "Malfoy has his own pride."

The tone of this sentence has a rare seriousness, and it is more solemn like a promise.Scorpius pressed against his ear, with a deep voice, a little hoarse, which seemed to contain endless deep feelings.This sentence seems to say—like to say—

"And I've thrown it away for you."

Albus felt really stupid, the idea was ridiculous.What reason does Scorpius have to do this for him?The huge Malfoy property is the wealth handed down from generation to generation by the Malfoys. How could it be abandoned for such absurd reasons?Albus would rather have interpreted this sentence in another sense: the pride of Malfoys made them rather downcast than accept the sympathy of others.

His eyes turned to the young master Malfoy beside him, and he could see the ring belonging to Patriarch Malfoy when he lowered his head.In the shadow beside Scorpius, it low-key withdrew all the dazzling brilliance, quietly and silently accepted the fate of being buried in the darkness—and most of it was caused by him.

Ah didn't think about saying anything more, but he found that he couldn't say anything.He was forced to swallow the messy thoughts and unspoken words, and his stomach seemed to bear something it shouldn't hold, and began to writhe.He took a few deep breaths back and forth, and in the end he could only say the same weak and hypocritical comfort as before: "No matter what choice you make...I support you."

The teenager gave him a big smile again, a smile that matched his blond hair that glistened in the sun.It seemed that he was already satisfied with this encouragement.

Albus didn't want to look at that overly bright smile again.He lowered his eyes, hiding all his feelings in the deepest part of his heart.

On the other end, Rose, who had just walked out of the hut, recalled the conversation she had with Scorpius just now, feeling as if she had been overturned.It was the first time she felt that she didn't know Scorpius so well, didn't understand what the other person was thinking.Alas, one was her best friend before the age of six, and the other was her like-minded friend since entering school, and things between them inevitably gave Rose a little headache.

She was lost in thought, when she looked up and saw not far from the path in front of the house, her poor brother was blinking his blue eyes, signaling to her for help.Rose was dumb for a moment, pursed her lips, closed her eyes and shook her head helplessly, and finally stepped forward to untie Hugo.As soon as he took out the handkerchief from his mouth, he began to cry to his sister with a mournful face: "Sister, it's a good thing you came to save me... Al is so scary, I thought I was going to die today..."

Seeing her younger brother crying without tears at all, Rose raised her handkerchief threateningly, as if going back to the fortress, so frightened that Hugo immediately fell silent, and only looked at her with a pair of innocent blue eyes.

Rose stared at him with eyes that hated iron and steel: "Can you be a little bit promising?"

Hugo retorted unwillingly in a low voice: "But Alta is really scary."

Rose looked at the rope and handkerchief in her hand—well, she reluctantly agreed with Hugo's reason.I really don't know how Albus did it.

"So... what's going on between the two of them?" Hugo spoke cautiously, as if he was afraid of being heard by the people in the room, "They shouldn't have...
