Chapter 146 Chapter 145(1/2)
Looking at the girl in the floor-length mirror who was wearing a black dress except for the round neck and cuffs, which was all white, Hetty herself felt cute, even though the color had nothing to do with cuteness.
The skirt is a small high-waist, and the hem only reaches the knees, and the specially-worn bustle holds up the skirt a little. It is not too exaggerated, but has just enough volume to better show off the body of the skirt.
The puff sleeves and pleated design are very girly and the overall look is elegant.
Then put on the matching small cloak, milky white knee-high socks and small leather shoes. Naturally, the long hair will not be loose. It is specially divided into two parts and braided and tied up. It is decorated with a big black bow. It looks really cute from the back.
My beloved child.
Hetty turned in a circle with great satisfaction, and the hem of her skirt flew up with her movements. It looked so beautiful. She quickly sat down in front of the dressing table and let Jean help her put on makeup.
When she was finally done, Hetty looked at the time. It was almost 6 o'clock. She first put the small bottles into her pockets, then ran to the window and looked out. The main road connecting the gate in the courtyard and the entire
As in the afternoon, it was deserted.
After waiting for a while, until the actual time on the wall clock showed that it was past 6 o'clock, Hetty finally couldn't sit still, but the courtyard was still unusually quiet, and she suddenly remembered another item that was useful but had been thrown away by her.
A thrown away prop - a double-sided mirror.
So, Hetty, who had done something wrong, quickly left the room and went all the way down to the outside of the mansion. Then she found the window of the practice room, squatted by the flowers, and kept rummaging around.
I shouldn't have thrown it away if I knew it, but I still have to come and look for it. Isn't this just looking for trouble for myself?
But the situation at that time was that she was really annoyed by being let go, and a certain Dark Lord never contacted her again after giving a reason, which made her even more unhappy, so it was all his fault, it was all his fault!
It's just that Hetty almost turned over the whole flower bush and couldn't find anything.
Merlin's beard! She clearly remembered that it was thrown out of this window. How could it be gone in just one afternoon?
Is it possible that there are thieves? Absolutely impossible! Although there are indeed thieves in the wizarding world, the defense system of the Dark Lord's manor can only get in unless it is Dumbledore!
That would be strange. If it was discovered by the house elf who manages the courtyard, it should be handed over to her as soon as possible. It is impossible not to tell her, but who can take it away? Or
Say this double-sided mirror disappeared out of thin air?
However, just as Hetty was squatting beside the flowers in a serious manner to analyze the possible reasons, a loud and getting closer rustling sound coming from the right rear successfully attracted her attention.
I don't know whether the result was good or not. She was so frightened that she jumped up suddenly but lost her balance and fell into the flowers behind.
"Ouch!" Hetty couldn't help but exclaimed, but fortunately it was just ordinary flowers and plants, not anything sharp, and it didn't hurt too much, but the thing in front of her was really terrifying!
She saw a giant snake twisting its thick body and swimming happily towards her, with something in its mouth. She took a closer look and saw that it was not the double-sided mirror she had thrown away, but this time
She no longer wants her son.
"Ah! Don't come here! Help!" Hetty still couldn't overcome it. She howled and hurriedly crawled to the side.
But after hearing her wailing, Nagini seemed to be even more excited. Not only did he physically block her, but he also kept leaning towards her, trying to get the reward for finding this double-sided mirror. This made this
The new owner touches himself.
But in Hetty's opinion, this was no different from killing her, especially since she had been forced to retreat against the wall. The giant snake had no intention of retreating, and it also threw the double-sided mirror on the ground and began to vomit at her.
Come to me.
This frightened Hetty out of her wits. She turned pale and started looking for the wand tremblingly, but after touching for a long time, she couldn't find it. Then she remembered that she didn't bring the wand with her at all. She looked at the giant snake that was only three feet away.
, completely despairing, and tears began to flow.
Hetty hurriedly hugged herself tightly, huddled up in a ball, and continued to cry for help, "Oh, help! Don't come here! Tom, Tom, Gene, come out quickly!"
Her voice was still useful. The next second, Gene suddenly appeared and stood beside her anxiously, but he didn't move his head at all and still asked, "Miss! What's wrong, Miss? What are your orders, Miss?"
Hetty, who was originally crying, became angry immediately when she heard this. She resisted the urge to curse, and glanced at the snake that was only about a foot away from her. She made a decisive decision, grabbed Jean's collar, and threw it to that side with all her strength.
Taking advantage of this gap, Hetty panicked and rolled over from the side, and then ran non-stop towards the door, hoping to see a certain Dark Lord who had returned from get off work to rescue her.
Hetty already knew that even looking for house elves would be futile. In their eyes, she probably didn't have as much status as the snake who had been accompanying their master for decades. And as for the mistress, who was the mistress?
I thought I could delay it for a while, but when Hedy, who was running wildly, turned around, she saw Nagini who was almost catching up. The speed and amplitude of her twisting, and her mouth wide open. This was not
Do you want to eat her or something?
A little girl dressed up cutely was crying and being chased by a giant snake that was at least twenty feet tall. It would be an exaggeration to say that this scene was the kind of monster horror movie.
At this moment, Hetty felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and she had no other idea but to escape.
But maybe Merlin wanted to drink tea with her so much that he couldn't keep his footing when he took a step forward. He stumbled, twisted his ankle, and couldn't stop the car. He fell forward heavily due to inertia.
This was much more serious than the blow in the grass just now, but fortunately Hetty used her hand to support it in time and didn't fall to the head or anything, but her right arm was in severe pain.
But during the short time she fell, Nagini also came around. Even though the skirt she was wearing was not thin, and there was a warmth charm on her, she could actually feel something cold pressing against her.
, and licking her.
No need to think about it, Hedy knew what was coming. She didn't even bother to cry. She had goosebumps on her skin and she didn't dare to move.
So why didn’t Jean move at all? Didn’t you see her falling to the ground and being held hostage by a snake!?
The past few seconds made Hetty feel extremely long, until she was suddenly lifted up by an invisible force. Nagini had disappeared, and the man in front of her was the man she longed for.
Although Brooke was there, and Hetty knew that she must look ugly now. She had managed to get dressed up, her skirt was dirty, her braided hair was a little messy, not to mention her face was stained with tears.
But even if there were outsiders, Hetty still couldn't help it. She stretched out her hand to hug her, but he took her into his arms faster.
In just a moment, she was enveloped by this familiar aura that made her feel at ease. She wanted to grab the hem of his clothes, but it hurt even more when she touched it, so she had to give up and choked out, "Oh, you lied to me."
Although the little girl in his arms only said these few words, he was completely aggrieved. Voldemort lowered his eyes and stared at her pitiful appearance that kept crying. Then he touched her little hand and heard her cry out in pain, "It hurts."
Upon hearing the sound, Voldemort immediately let go and opened her palm again. The skin was already bruised and bleeding, extending all the way to her wrist. He carefully rolled up her sleeves, and sure enough, her arm was also bruised.
But just as he was about to use the healing spell, Brooke suddenly spoke up, "Merlin's beard! Miss Winter, how did you end up like this? I'm here to help you with magic."
But before he could take out his wand, Voldemort had already answered his unnecessary words with practical actions. He waved his wand and said "episkey" at the same time.
I saw a dark green light emitting from the tip of the staff, and it touched the palm of her hand in just one second, and the scars were now visible to the naked eye.
Immediately, Voldemort put away his wand and picked her up, leaving only one sentence, "Maybe he will have to visit later, so please help yourself, Brooke."
As soon as he finished speaking, Brooke didn't even have time to reply. The man and the girl he was holding disappeared.
He understood that this was the effect of apparation, but this manor should have been under a counter-curse.
Hedy, who was sitting on the soft sofa, stared at the man squatting in front of her with red eyes. After a few seconds, she bit her lower lip again, groaned in aggrieved manner, and opened her hands to indicate that she wanted to hug him.
The Dark Lord, who had just treated the scars on the little guy's legs and the stains on her skirt and socks, raised his head and saw her pitiful expression. He immediately stood up and hugged her, and then coaxed her warmly.
, "Sorry, it's my fault.
I have given the order. From now on, Nagini will not take the initiative to pester you, and Qing can stay in the mansion or the courtyard without any worries, and she can do whatever she wants."
This order is nothing more than confirming her status in this family. No matter how much Nagini is favored by the Dark Lord, she is just a pet, but now his woman is her. She is the real mistress of this family. How could it be possible?
Worse than a snake?
But even though the Dark Lord said so, Hetty still felt aggrieved. She clenched her little fist and knocked him and said resentfully, "Tom, you lied to me! You clearly said that snakes can hibernate, but Nagini is still here."
She wandered around the courtyard and even had the double-sided mirror in her mouth. It was covered with saliva. I don’t want it!"
After receiving such a gentle blow, the Dark Lord caught her little fist with his backhand, spread it out and kissed her before replying, "My dear, Nagini will indeed hibernate for a period of time, but it's not the time yet.
But it’s just because I didn’t think well, so I’ll just replace the double-sided mirror with another one. I’m sorry, I didn’t come back in time, does it still hurt?”
The palm of her hand was burned, and Hetty felt that it seemed to extend to her cheeks. She wanted to retract her hand but was held tightly. She could see clearly his apologetic and distressed look as soon as she raised her eyes.
But for some reason, her vision became blurry, and her calm mind began to stir up waves like a windy sea.
She shook her head and sniffed again, leaning her little head into his arms and crying, "I practiced the summoning spell obediently in the morning, and I have been waiting for you to come home in the afternoon.
I tried hard to get that reward, but you said you had something urgent to do at noon and couldn't come back. I didn't dare to use the double-sided mirror for fear of disturbing your work, but I miss you so much."
The voice of the little girl in his arms was very soft, but Voldemort heard it clearly. He hugged her tightly, patted her back again and again like coaxing a child, and continued, "My dear, you are so good. I miss you too."
You, but you don’t have to worry about anything in the future.
I gave you a double-sided mirror to use when I'm not with you, so you don't have to worry about the occasion. Just contact me whenever you want. As long as it's you, no matter how busy you are, you still have time."
The turbulent things in her heart gradually calmed down with his last words. She finally regained her smile, leaned forward and kissed his jaw, and then said coquettishly, "Then Tom will keep his word. I will contact you at any time even if you are at work."
, check your post to see if you are fishing in troubled waters!"
Looking at her bright smile, his eyebrows seemed to be softer, but hearing these words made him feel funny, but he still responded cooperatively, "You are welcome at any time."
Then he leaned over and kissed her on the lips, and then continued, "Be good, my dear, let me help you dress up again. After solving Brooke's problem, how about fulfilling the reward I promised?"
This gentle tone made her want to just stay in his arms, but when she heard the last word "reward", she immediately cheered up and said, "Okay~ let's hurry up, okay? Mr. Brooke didn't mean to
Invite us to his house for dinner, I'm a little hungry."
So, Hetty was held by the Dark Lord and sat down in front of the dressing table. She stared at the man standing behind her in the mirror, helping her to arrange her hair carefully, and even though he was smiling warmly, he looked very serious.
It made her heart beat.
But she secretly sneaked into a few small bottles that she had already put in the pockets of her skirt, and began to hesitate.
Sure enough, as long as he was willing to coax her, she would immediately stop being angry about anything, and her heart seemed to melt. It was so sweet. Although she was very hopeless, she was eaten to death by this man.
Naturally, a certain Dark Lord who was busy did not miss the joyful expression of his little girlfriend. He glanced at her dress and her two slender legs, his eyes darkened and he said, "Qing."
She's cuter than yesterday. But it's because of Brooke, I'm really jealous of him."
But Hetty didn't notice any difference at the moment. Hearing what he said, she couldn't help laughing and said, "No! I dressed up like this knowing that Tom would like it. Why should I be jealous? Besides, if Tom doesn't believe it, I'll prove it to him."
Do you think it's okay? It's just going to take some time or something."
