[Merlin Roman] Hogwarts does not allow teacher-student romance

"You kissed in a dream?! Did you really kiss in a dream??"

"Lixiang—keep your voice down!!!" Romani blushed, "Everyone else is looking at this!"

"I'm just so surprised!" Fujimaru Tatsuka said, "I thought...Although Mash and I have been teasing, but..."

"Me too, I think Romani is only yearning for Merlin..." Matthew sighed.On Saturday afternoon, the three of them sat in the shade of the beech trees by the lake. The warm sun was shining on the lake, and the air already had the smell of early summer.

"That's what I thought too,... No, that's not the point! I decided to say it because my dream started to change recently!" Romani tried to make his expression serious.

"If the dream hasn't changed, are you going to keep hiding from us that you dream about Merlin every night?" Fujimaru Tachika asked sharply.

"At first I thought it was just an ordinary dream... how embarrassing it is... oops!" Romani said angrily, ignoring Fujimaru Tachika who shouted, "If it's an ordinary dream, you should tell us that this is the trouble of love", "Recently There is no Merlin in the dream! I recently dreamed of a man with long golden hair—"

The two fell silent together, and Matthew's book fell to the grass with a snap.

"So..." Matthew whispered, "This counts... empathy?"

"What and what?!" Romani went crazy, "Why are you like this, Matthew!"

"I'm sorry! I can't help it! So what did you dream about?" Matthew said.

"All I can remember are scattered fragments..." Romani recalled with a frown, "After I didn't dream of Merlin, the scene was more in one house... At the beginning, there were some ordinary conversations. Some people have great ideals, and they often talk to me about..."

"Very lofty ideal." Fujimaru Tachika shook her head, "I just want to pass the exam in a few months—"

"There are still more than two months... No, let's not talk about this! But the man in my dream has different ideas! He left that house after unilaterally quarreling with me!"

"A one-sided quarrel?" Matthew asked.

"Well... because I think I was very cold towards him in the dream." Romani bit his lower lip, "In fact, I think my attitude towards Merlin is also very cold..." It's a bit like me in the orphanage, Roma Ni didn't say it.

"Oh..." Fujimaru Tachika doubted, "You? Be indifferent to Merlin? Don't stare at me! Keep talking!"

"There's nothing in the back." Romani scratched his hair, "A picture is of me walking in... the land I saw in the history of magic class... I was thinking, maybe my dream was not a precognitive dream, but Is it a thing of the past...?"

"How is that possible!" Fujimaru Tachika said immediately, "You mean you've been dating Merlin for a long time?"

"Of course not! Why do you always think about falling in love!"

"It's not impossible." Matthew paused for a while, and then said, "But the senior's question is also reasonable. It is impossible for you to live that long."

"I know." Romani said seriously, "So I speculate that my dream is someone else's memory."

"Oh oh oh!" Fujimaru Tachika clapped his hands together, "My house - Dongfang! There is indeed a theory about dreaming!"

"To dream?" Matthew and Romani were very interested.

"That is, ghosts and gods or souls after death appear in people's dreams in order to explain things and predict good and bad fortune!" Fujimaru Tachika said, "Can you see anything from dreams?"

"I can't..." Romani said in frustration, "I can't see any omens, it seems to be just an ordinary memory... A recent dream image is a... monster? I feel strange being imprisoned in a forest, so I want to ask you view…"

"Well..." Matthew thought, "When did you first have such a dream?"

"On Christmas Day, after the dance." Romani replied, "I didn't think much about Merlin when I dreamed about it. I thought it was because I stayed with him those days..."

"—You really stayed together for a whole week!"

"Didn't I stay with you all the time?" Romani was annoyed, and Matthew said in a calm tone, "Okay, okay, did anything special happen that day?"

Romani recalled it carefully, "Does it count if I dance with Merlin?"

"No, something more special, such as what happened at the dance party? Is there anything strange?" Matthew analyzed.

"Or you tell it from the beginning?" Fujimaru Tachika agreed.

"Uh, Merlin made me wear a light blue dress... I put on makeup and braided my hair... Later, I was afraid that my hair color would be recognized, so he turned my hair white..." Romani seemed ashamed , eyes fixed on the students frolicking by the lake, "...we danced for three full hours, and when it was the last dance, people gave up the venue, and we applauded after dancing in the middle of the venue. Merlin in the garden Rubbed my calf, said sorry to me, and then I said good night and went back."

"Wow..." Matthew and Lixiang exclaimed together, "You never told us before that it's so...romantic!"

Romani gave up and lay down on the grass, with red ears, "Enough, I don't want to recall this at all... He didn't say a word to me after that."

"Ugh...but that doesn't sound like anything special," Matthew said.

"That's right." Fujimaru Tachika nodded, "Usually it's good to have an object as a medium for a dream."

"Wait." Romani sat up slowly, "So, yes, the ring Merlin gave me for Christmas! It was after receiving that ring that I started to have these dreams!"

Fujimaru Tachika showed a suddenly realized expression, "So that ring is the source of your dream!"

"Then that doesn't mean..." Matthew said hesitantly, "That ring belonged to Merlin's ex-girlfriend? Merlin gave it to Romani..."

Romani was stunned. That's right, what Merlin gave him was a ring that belonged to someone else. The original owner of the ring was intimate with Merlin, kissing with Merlin under the flower tree... These are all other people's memories.Did Merlin know he was having these dreams?Did Merlin let him see this on purpose?Or Merlin has forgotten the original owner of this ring, and gave it away at will...

No matter which one made Romani sad, even though many people told him that Merlin was frivolous and fickle, he always believed that Merlin was a gentle person.But the ring was in his heart, and he told him brightly: No, Merlin is just like the rumors.

"Hey, Romani?" Fujimaru Tatsuka's voice seemed to come from far away, and Romani quickly wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve. "I discussed it with Matthew. Can you put the ring in our dormitory tonight? Let's see if we will have the same dream."

"Okay," Romani said, refusing to revisit the subject.

The next morning, Matthew told Romani that her dream with her senior hadn't changed. "I didn't even have a dream," Matthew said honestly.

"But it shows that the owner of the ring must have something that he can only tell you." Li Xiang was sure, "or something that only you can understand."

Romani shrugged noncommittally and decided to concentrate on the pie on the plate. "No matter what." Romani glanced at the teacher's seat, and Merlin didn't eat at school on weekend mornings, "I'm not even interested in the matter of Merlin's ex-girlfriend."

Matthew and Lixiang talked about their upcoming final exam in a tacit understanding.

"Matthew, do you know what the format of the final exam is?"

"I'm not sure, senior. Every teacher's exam method is different..." Matthew described the several exams she had heard, "...and there are exams like adventure!"

"Yeah, by the way, the Transfiguration exam is divided into theory and practice." Da Vinci's voice suddenly sounded, and the three of them were startled, "Can you come with me, Romani? I have something to do Want to talk to you."

So Romani left the auditorium after Da Vinci's swaying purple robes, and the eyes of the Ravenclaw table were extremely dazzling.

"The students of Ravenclaw seem to like me as the dean very much." Da Vinci smiled, "They are all very smart children... Come, this way."

Romani had never been to Da Vinci's office, and he was very curious.When they walked in, Romani couldn't help exclaiming, attracted by all kinds of strange silver instruments, design drawings on the table and rich collection of books in the house, it was more like Da Vinci's private workshop, he think.

"Is it not bad here?" Da Vinci smiled, "What do you want to drink, tea or coffee?"

"Tea! Thank you," Romani said, looking around. "It's great here!"

"Hmm." Da Vinci said proudly, and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Did you ask me to come - to learn how to use these instruments?" Romani's eyes showed eagerness.

"No." Da Vinci said, "You can consider it when you are older...I want to tell you a fairy tale."

"Fairy tales?" Romani repeated in surprise, he never understood the mind of this genius professor at Hogwarts.

"Once upon a time, there was a prince in a great kingdom in the far south." Da Vinci said slowly, "He has incomparable wisdom and is loved by others. The king decided to pass on the throne to him."

"One day, when a princess passed by here, she met the prince. They have the same intelligent mind, and they feel that they have never met such a congenial person."

"'My Beloved, above ten thousand people. You are utterly lovely and flawless. I beseech you to place me as a seal in your heart and a seal on your arm.' The prince uttered his emotion with sincerity as faith , the princess accepted the prince's love. The prince left his country and traveled around with the princess."

"They had a happy time. When the prince returned to the country and planned to inherit the throne, he found that his younger brother had staged a coup in his name. His homeland was scorched and the people were displaced. In order to make up for his mistakes, the prince chose to die with his younger brother. Bring peace to the country."

"People in the world don't know the truth, and think that the princess righteously killed her guilty lover to save the country from suffering, so they put her on the altar and regard her as a goddess."

"The princess concealed her identity. She is not an ordinary human being, but a goblin from the ancient goblin kingdom. Goblins are immortal, youthful and beautiful. Time will pass on them only if they move their hearts... After the prince passed away, The princess who lost her lover quickly aged and died amidst singing and dancing and praises."

"I'm done, how do you feel?"

"It feels good... No, this princess is too pitiful! She could have lived forever!" Romani was fascinated by what she heard, and felt sorry for the princess.

Da Vinci smiled slightly, "It's just a fairy tale. But, don't you think it's very romantic and meaningful to give your life for love?"

"Well..." Romani reluctantly said, "Is it? I can't say, professor. If the princess is satisfied with her choice in the end, it will be meaningful."

"You really think so. Alright—go back and continue your happy weekend!" Da Vinci stretched his waist. "I really want to find an audience. Forgive me for calling you here suddenly."

Romani left the office, and Da Vinci took a leisurely turn in the swivel chair.

"How do my fairy tales go, Holmes?" Da Vinci asked the man in the frame on the wall.

"Fairy tale?" The man knocked on the pipe. "This princess is not a princess, nor is a prince a prince. There are no people and no homeland. It's hard to say who moved first, right?"

"You are really strict." Da Vinci chuckled, "Who will be moved first? This is their own story. I just want to help them on a whim."

"After all, his introspective expression is really pitiful. Even I feel that this person has finally been punished, and I want to do something for my old colleagues and friends. Those two people who like happy endings used to always talk about love and happiness. Hope, I really can't get used to it."

Holmes said calmly, "It's not a big deal for you just to watch the excitement."

Romani retells the fairy tale to Matthew and Lixiang, who decided to stay in the common room today.

"Fairy tales are sugar-coated realities." Matthew said, "What does Professor Da Vinci want to express?"

"Who knows?" Romani rubbed his forehead wearily, "Maybe I just want to see my values..."

Fujimaru Tachika shook her head, "Princess really makes money, eternal life is so boring and lonely, she not only escaped from the curse of eternal life, but also gained love and fame."

"I agree with the senior's point of view." Matthew tapped the quill rhythmically, "Leaving aside the reputation, I think life is meaningful because it is limited."

"I think it's better to live longer." Romani closed his eyes and thought for a moment, "In the dream, Merlin and...she went to so many places, the world is too big, and the longer you live, the more you can experience."

"Merlin." Matthew sighed, "Professor Merlin really lived a long time."

"Yeah..." Romani nodded, "I don't know how he will evaluate this story..."

"Let's not talk about this, just relax on the weekend!" Fujimaru Tachika slapped the table, "Have you learned the wizard chess I gave you for Christmas?"

"Of course! It's a piece of cake." Romani stood up, "I'll get the chess, and whoever loses will be punished later!"
