Cultivating Love
Chapter 15
Seeing that Alpha Ursae couldn't get the specific location even after asking several people, Draco asked suspiciously, "Seriously, what are you looking for?
Why don't you tell me, maybe I know. "
After failing to ask for directions again, Xiu whispered, "Optician shop." Recently, the Lesser Golden Retriever and Harry were getting more and more disagreeable. Harry was fine, but Draco was easily triggered.
Even Xiu felt very guilty when he came in contact with Harry.
On the other side, Draco didn't even have to think about who he was buying the gift for. Sure enough, his face turned black, and he said that he was tired and wanted to go to the nearby Florin's cold drink shop to rest.
Humph, anyway, I don't have to worry about getting lost with the bracelet, why bother to follow you everywhere?
Draco thought angrily.
Xiu was aware that Draco had been dragged around by him for a long time and was still carrying things. Of course, he couldn't do anything to the kind coolie, so he smiled and said that he would go find him when he was done.
Seeing the little golden head disappear from his sight, Xiu couldn't help but feel a little happy.
In fact, at first, he was still worried about how to send Draco away to buy him a gift if he kept following him. Now that Draco took the initiative to separate, it was very considerate of him.
He picked a pair of satisfactory sunscreen and rainproof glasses. Xiu specifically told the shop assistant that he wanted two pairs, a pair of myopic glasses and a pair of flat glasses.
After coming out of the optician shop, Xiu went to a shop that looked very expensive, but in fact, it was very expensive. He bought the gift for Draco at a price that was a little painful.
After buying it, Xiu cast a shrinking spell and put it in his pocket. He followed the little red dot on the bracelet and successfully walked to the cold drink shop. Thanks to the big dishonest owl, he didn't have to spend much effort to find him.
Draco saw that he didn't have anything in his hand and thought that he also used a shrinking spell.
Humph, it's better that he didn't take it. Out of sight, out of mind.
He sat down directly next to Draco. Along the way, Xiu had already heard several girls talking about the golden head with a frosty face. He was afraid that if Draco slightly lifted the corner of his mouth, there would be girls who would dare to come and chat with him.
What Xiu didn't know was that when the two of them sat together, Draco seemed to have instantly melted and accepted him stepping into his territory. This scene undoubtedly surprised the girls who had been watching them.
After resting for a while in the cold drink shop, Xiu finished his third ice cream. Since he had not eaten his fourth ice cream in December, he was satisfied and continued to stroll around with Draco, who was still upset about his glasses and had stirred up a cup of strawberry milkshake.
"Draco, don't you think this stone looks like Celie's eye?" No one would believe it, but the two of them were looking for interesting trinkets in the jewelry store.
That's right, it was the kind of jewelry store that focused on cuteness. Even the walls were painted pink.
Draco looked up from the dazzling variety of jewelry and glanced at the stone, giving Alpha Ursae a "don't be stupid" look. "Oh, don't compare this stone with Celie's eye. You have no taste."
Because recently, Xiu's taste had been completely despised by Draco.
What didn't he like? Quidditch had no taste, his tie had no taste, and now looking at a stone had no taste.
Xiu thought that he could consider blocking the word "taste".
Finally, after picking and choosing, Xiu chose a retro auspicious bracelet with the number 7.
Draco looked at the bracelet that was obviously for a girl and frowned for a while, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Seeing the rich young master take out an aqua blue ribbon and pay for it with him, Xiu was a bit unable to accept it. "Draco, why didn't you buy a gift but a ribbon for wrapping?" Xiu even began to suspect that Malfoy's family was poor enough to buy a ribbon as a gift.
After taking a closer look, he admitted that no matter the texture, pattern, or color of the ribbon, there was nothing wrong with it. But no matter how good it was, it was still a ribbon.
With just a glance, Draco knew that Xiu's imagination was 99% off. He directly opened his mouth to suppress Xiu. "Shut up, you tasteless guy!"
After being ridiculed twice in a row for having no taste, Xiu couldn't help but pout and complain in a low voice, "No taste, no right to speak?
Back-back hair!
Humph! "
Seeing that Xiu took a pile of postcards from the counter near the cashier, Draco sneered again, "Xiu Spensee, who has friends all over Hogwarts."
If one day, Headmaster Dumbledore of Hogwarts suddenly set up a friendship ambassador for Hogwarts, then Xiu wouldn't run away. He obviously looked honest and pure, but why did he have a bit of a social butterfly in his bones?
On the other side, Xiu used his soft and cute appearance to chat happily with the shop owner sister who seemed to be very easy to talk to and ignored Draco's poisonous tongue. In the end, the shop owner sister gave a 20% discount and gave two chocolate frogs to Xiu and Draco.
Sweetly waving goodbye to the kind shop owner sister, Xiu threw a chocolate frog to Draco and opened his own.
Every chocolate frog had a magic card that introduced an outstanding wizard in modern times. He had heard from Ron, who collected them, that some rare cards could even be sold for a high price.
Of course, when Xiu told Draco about this, he didn't expect to hear Young Master Malfoy snort and lightly say, "The Weasley family is poor, isn't this obvious?"
Xiu rolled his eyes and decided to give it a try. After opening the box, he saw a 665 years old wizard named Nick Lemay combing his white beard.
He glanced at Draco and saw that it was the same as his.
Looks like this longevity wizard's card isn't that rare. I'll bring it back and ask Ron if he has one. If not, I'll just give it to him.
Xiu thought.
After leaving the small accessory shop, Xiu bought most of the things on the list. Before he was ready to go back, he finally remembered to ask the kind laborer if there was anything else he wanted to buy.
Unexpectedly, Draco brought him to a candy shop.
After entering the shop, Draco had a clear goal and went straight to the front desk. "Please give me a box of Mrs. Green's handmade candy. I want assorted flavors." Xiu shouted in his heart that it was good to be rich. He knew that Malfoy's family wouldn't go bankrupt.
One must know that Mrs. Green's brand was known to represent the highest level of candy. Generally, it was bought as a gift.
Draco didn't like to eat candy, so he didn't know why he would buy such a box.
Skipping this small episode, it was already three o 'clock in the afternoon when the two returned to Slytherin's Rest.
Pansy wanted to ask Xiu what he bought, but Xiu smiled mysteriously and said, "It's a secret."
The two chatted happily, but Xiu also noticed that Draco poured the candy he bought into a big crystal bowl with the Slytherin Academy's logo and put it on the red table in the middle of Slytherin's Rest.
"Tsk, this is really a memorable day. The Malfoy actually has such a kind heart." Xiu clicked his tongue in wonder and picked a favorite flavor and threw it into his mouth.
It was rare that Xiu didn't fight back. Draco just waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's nothing. It's a gift in return for taking care of Celie for me. The Malfoy never owes his friends anything."
This gift was not light. This was Xiu's first reaction.
Then, he immediately felt that something was strange. "What the hell? Why do you sound like you're Celie's master?"
Draco snorted coldly. "Recently, Celie has been sleeping with me. Merlin above, it's a miracle that your seven-second fish brain can remember that you're her master."
Thinking that Celie hadn't appeared in his room for several days, Xiu inevitably felt a little guilty. He touched his nose and wanted to retort, "It's because that little heartless girl likes to stick to you that she sleeps with you." But he also knew how much Draco spoiled Celie, so he didn't say anything.
Since then, the table in the middle of the lounge was always filled with endless candy, which became a continuation of the Slytherin scene. But this was a story for another day.
Perhaps because the Christmas spirit was getting stronger, time passed very quickly. Xiu, who had been looking forward to going home for the Christmas holiday, was a little unhappy.
It turned out that last Sunday, Xiu received a letter from his uncle saying that he was preparing a surprise for his future wife and wasn't at home. Therefore, Jean Xiu didn't need to go home.
It was really hard for him to write about his eagerness to please her in such a righteous manner.
After a day of tutoring at the dean's office, Xiu couldn't be more sad when he received this letter, but he had no choice but to bitterly stay at school for the Christmas holiday.
Fortunately, he found out that Harry and Ron also had to stay at school two days later. Xiu felt that he could reluctantly replace Hermione's scenes to keep the trio in order.
The first snow of 1991 fell the day before Christmas Eve. The feather-like snow covered the whole Hogwarts in the afternoon, creating a great atmosphere for the Christmas party held that night.
Xiu still couldn't tie a tie well. It was rare that he didn't join the party on Christmas Eve. Instead, he dragged Draco, who was also not interested in the party, to the black lake to play in the snow.
In such a good atmosphere, even Fei Qi, who always had a fierce face, would gently hug Madam Dorothy and dance slightly. Naturally, no one cared about the curfew.
Wrapped in a thick cloak and forced to wear a fluffy hat by Draco, Xiu finally went out. Who knew that Draco, who was waiting for him in the lounge, was still wearing a shirt and a knitted sweater. Merlin above, it was the end of December!
He took off the hat on his head and put it on the unwilling Draco's head. The golden head was still complaining, "I'm not wearing this!
If I tell you to wear it, then wear it properly! "
While putting on the big hood of the cloak, Alpha Ursae cast a warm spell on himself and the golden head to prevent rain and humidity. He didn't care about Draco's nagging. Sometimes, this duplicitous guy would be happier if he went against him a little.
When the two noisily walked to the edge of the black lake, the feather-like snow had not stopped. Although they were not wet, there was still a lot of snow.
Xiu didn't know if it was because of the sound absorption of the snow, but the moment he stopped, he felt that everything was quiet.
Xiu shook the snow off his body and took out a wizard radio from his pocket. After adjusting it, he cast a rain and humidity protection spell and put it on his palm.
It was probably a Christmas special, and the radio was playing famous Christmas hymns.
When he was humming a song to show off to the person next to him, he found out what Draco, who had been silent all this time, was doing. He was casting a spell with his magic wand. Looking at the extent of waving it, it seemed that he was writing in the snow.
It had to be said that Draco's handwriting was better than most people's handwriting that Xiu had ever seen. It looked very pleasing to the eye.
From his posture, he could vaguely see that he had written a very timely "Stay in the Woods on a Snowy Night". But other than the name, the content was completely wrong.
