Extra 10 years later (Extra End)
Extra - Ten years later (Extra is finished)
Years.
Like a heavy book, it turns over page after page quietly.
Looking back suddenly, the once tender child may have entered the middle-aged chapter of life.
Time flies, like quicksand between fingers, silently slipping away, taking away the youthful face and leaving traces of time.
The little feet in the memory have now taken solid steps; the laughter and joy of the past have turned into steady thinking and deep eyes.
Some of the childhood dreams may have been realized, while others have become the gentle memories in the heart. Years not only increase the rings, but also give the wisdom of life and a calm mentality.
Some people still have their original intentions, while others are washed round and peaceful by the torrent of time.
The frivolousness and unruliness of youth and the increasing responsibilities on the shoulders have always become a difficult problem to balance.
…
Years have changed, and ten years have passed in a trance.
The night is deep, like a painting with thick ink and heavy colors, spreading across the boundless sky.
In this quiet and peaceful night, small boats quietly sail on the calm black lake, like a ghostly shadow, gently swaying on the water.
The hull of the boat is dyed deep black by the night, blending with the surrounding lake water, as if it is a black lotus rising from the bottom of the lake.
But the only difference is that now every boat is equipped with a magic lamp suspended on the bow.
The orange light is like stars, flickering in the deep night sky, adding a bit of mystery and romance to this quiet night.
The hull gently cuts through the water, making a subtle and crisp sound, breaking the tranquility of the lake, and also seems to disturb the sleeping stars.
As the boat slowly moves forward, circles of ripples spread on the water, like ripples of time, recording the tranquility and beauty of this moment.
It's the annual start of school again.
These boats are to take this year's freshmen, and their goal is Hogwarts in the distance, the castle full of magic and miracles.
Under the cover of the night, Hogwarts looks even more mysterious. The towering towers, deep corridors, and flickering lights all seem to be telling ancient legends and unfinished love.
The boat slowly wanders towards the magic castle, as if pursuing a distant dream, with endless expectations and yearning.
…
Night, boats, Black Lake and Hogwarts.
A beautiful picture that makes people intoxicated in this tranquility and mystery.
It seems to have integrated into this world full of magic and miracles.
Unknowingly, the boat docked at the pier not far from the castle.
"Be careful! Now line up and follow me."
With a height of more than twelve feet, Hagrid saw at a glance the several jubilant and energetic red-haired teenagers at the end.
‘Weasley again…’ Hagrid muttered reluctantly, with a bitter look on his face.
But this bitter expression did not last long, because he thought of the current gamekeeper Moody. It would be difficult for ordinary people to break into the Forbidden Forest with this retired Auror in charge.
As if thinking of something interesting, Hagrid's mouth slightly raised, and a gloating smile emerged.
As Hagrid turned around, the little wizards behind him began to chatter.
“Vera, are you afraid? Uncle Fred said that the sorting ceremony will cause great harm to us.”
A red-haired boy looked cautiously at the towering castle not far away.
“Do you believe my father? Since I was three years old, I don’t believe every word he says. Yes! Every word!”
The one who responded to the red-haired boy was a girl. The magical thing is that she also has bright hair, which makes it easy for people to associate the relationship between the two.
While the two were talking, another weak voice sounded:
"My father also said that what Uncle George and Uncle Fred said was right, the Sorting Ceremony is very scary..."
"Uncle Potter also said that?" Vera hesitated.
She first looked at the black-haired boy in front of her seriously, and after confirming that the other party did not seem to be lying, her expression became a little solemn.
After all, in her cognition, Uncle Potter, as an Auror, is always more reliable than his jumpy father.
The three did not deliberately control their voices during this exchange, so many young wizards around heard it clearly.
Topics such as the very harmful and terrifying Sorting Ceremony gradually spread among the crowd.
...
Suddenly, a pleasant and crisp voice like a lark sounded:
"These are all words to fool fools, no one will believe them, the Weasley family is always like this."
Well, the word Weasley has provoked a group of people again.
Dennis and Vera turned around and glared at them.
Behind the two, the black-haired boy Severus Potter also stopped and chose to stand with his cousins.
However, after he turned around, a dazed look appeared on his face.
He didn't expect that the girl opposite him not only had a nice voice, but also looked so beautiful, as if she had walked out of a fairy tale world.
The girl had exquisite facial features, each of which was just right, like a masterpiece carefully drawn by a painter. Her skin was white and delicate, with a faint luster like ceramic.
Her long platinum-colored hair, under the reflection of the surrounding magic lights, was like the sparkling sea surface under the sunset, flashing with charming colors.
The girl's hair looked very soft and smooth, gently falling on her shoulders. Whenever the breeze blew, the hair danced with the wind, exuding a faint fragrance.
This was the scent of jasmine, and in just a moment, Potter had the answer in his heart.
Just as he was in a trance, the girl opposite him suddenly raised her mouth, revealing two small canine teeth. Although the smile was sweet and lovely, there was a little disdain in her expression.
A proud girl, and even a beautiful girl.
For a moment, Potter felt that the other party was like an exquisite porcelain doll, exuding a unique charm in every place.
Of course, it was not only Potter who had this feeling, but also Dennis next to him.
As a girl, Vera's intuition was also very sharp. She noticed the changes in the two boys around her and stood up at the first time.
"Lucy Malfoy! That's enough! You can say me, but you are not qualified to say Weasley!"
Vera's words made the two boys around her look aside a little embarrassed.
Unlike Dennis, although Potter shared the same hatred, his eyes always looked towards the opposite side.
However, what he didn't know was that this subtle movement had long been seen by the two girls.
Lucy smiled triumphantly, while Vera looked angry.
...
From the Black Lake to the side hall of the castle, it was about a few hundred meters away.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the little wizards saw the huge oak door.
Hagrid raised his huge fist and knocked on the castle gate.
Bang bang bang!
The dusty door was opened from the inside again.
But this time, it was not the tall and thin witch who came out, but a young man in a blue robe who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.
...
"Hagrid, leave this to me."
Ino stood outside the castle gate, quietly looking at a large group of little guys in front of him, as well-behaved as quails.
Fate seemed to have turned again.
After many years.
Malfoy, Potter, and Weasley meet again at Hogwarts.
