Harry was wandering around the castle aimlessly. He walked through the trophy room on the fourth floor and came to the door of the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor. But after hesitating for a moment, he finally chose to turn around and leave.
The matter of the Horcrux was not in a hurry. Even if he did get it, he would not be able to destroy the Horcrux as he had not yet learned how to use Li Fire. Could it be that he happily held the Ravenclaw diadem to find Dumbledore and tell him his unintentional intention? Discover? No one would believe this nonsense excuse, not to mention that he was facing Dumbledore, a century-old fox.
Probably because he learned about the current bad things going on in Hogwarts, Harry was in a particularly happy mood and drank a few more bottles while wandering around. Although this level of strong alcohol could not knock him down at all, he still felt slightly tipsy. Gradually rising.
When he sensed the need to urinate, he changed his route and walked towards the bathroom. There are bathrooms on every floor of the castle, but only half of the bathrooms on the third floor were available. The girls' bathroom was blocked by a ghost. It has been abandoned for many years due to reasons. Of course, if you want to experience a jet of water kissing your head and butt while releasing pressure on the toilet, or feel the comfort of a ghost enema passing by, then You might as well try to tease Moaning Myrtle.
However, this is only for women. It is somewhat against the moral order and morals for boys to enter the women's restroom.
A sign that read 'Under Maintenance' hung crookedly on the brass door handle. Harry could see the sign from a distance, but the sudden twisting of the door handle made Harry stop. He was still a little dizzy. His dizzy mind suddenly cleared up. He quickly ducked and pulled out the invisibility cloak hidden in his pocket. Of course, this kind of good thing cannot be left in the closet to gather dust. Carrying it with you is the most basic thing for the invisibility cloak. respect.
But Harry didn't get too close. The strong smell of alcohol on his body would immediately reveal his presence, but fortunately, the corridor was silent at this time, and every movement would be amplified.
With a dry friction sound, the door of the abandoned bathroom, which should have been dusty and undisturbed, was pushed open a crack. A pair of eyes peeked out from the crack. After confirming that there were no passers-by in the corridor, a thin man A large and graceful figure emerged from the gap. She carefully closed the bathroom door, straightened the wrinkles on her robe briefly, and walked away as if nothing had happened.
"Cassandra?" Harry could not misidentify the owner of the brilliant blond hair, and just as she squeezed through the narrow gap, Harry could confirm one thing. This guy was really clueless. His thin body matched that The trembling movement is truly impressive.
"Don't tell me that you went out here to have a tryst with someone. If Draco knew about this, I don't know how sad he would be."
"Maybe Draco is in there?"
After Cassandra left the abandoned washroom, Harry walked to the boys' washroom opposite in a hurry and drained comfortably. After leaving the boys' washroom and passing by the abandoned washroom, he drew out White Ivory casually took down the empty gun, and some dark magic power invisible to the naked eye scattered evenly on the ground, as if a dog raised its hind legs to mark. Relying on the specialness of his magic power, he left some mark.
The magic of ordinary wizards cannot exist for a long time after leaving the wizard, but the magic of the awakened can. This is not a magic mark of a curse that is difficult to be found. Harry does not think that she entered this place by mistake because she was lost. , Slytherin's common room is at the other end of the castle, and even sleepwalkers can't get here.
"Is it possible that Dobby risked his life to come to me for help because he accidentally knew that Draco was going to be sacrificed?"
While thinking about strange things in his mind, Harry walked lightly but very quickly towards the corner where Cassandra disappeared. He did not forget to use a cleaning spell on himself to get rid of the smell of alcohol on his body. .
The limited edition of Hogwarts' Idiot Trailing successfully opened under the cover of the invisibility cloak. After using magic to isolate the footsteps, Harry followed Cassandra generously, although he walked nearly a minute first. , but Cassandra, who had not yet evolved into long legs, did not need much effort from Harry to catch up. She walked towards the Slytherin common room with a clear purpose.
"Snake language."
After saying the password, a door appeared on the wall of the slightly damp empty underground classroom. Two intertwined snakes swam toward both sides. The locked door opened at this moment, and Slytherin's Although the common room is built in the underground area of Hogwarts like Hufflepuff, it is far from the Hufflepuff lounge where you can see sunlight and green plants at all times.
Hogwarts was built along the cliff slope erected by the Black Lake. Hufflepuff is at the high point of the slope, while Slytherin is at the lowest point of the slope, even lowering into the Black Lake. Outside the lounge window is a vast expanse of water. The black lake is dark green, with long aquatic plants undulating gently with the water flow. The human figures that occasionally flash past the window are traces of mermaids swimming by in the black lake.
The green light embellishes the common room like a luxurious crypt. The only thing that brings some warmth here is the silently burning fireplace leaning against the wall.
It's still some time before lights out, but the Slytherin common room is very clean. It's not like Gryffindor, which is always full of fighting and laughter, nor is it like Hufflepuff, which is always filled with the aroma of food.
Cassandra walked through the lounge with light steps. She walked to a corner away from the crowd, pulled out the soft armchair and sat down gently.
"Draco." She spoke to the shadow leaning against the wall, and a pale face appeared from the shadow.
Draco was just a child, but at this moment, he had a frustrated and tangled expression on his face, as if he was troubled by something and could never find relief.
But the arrival of Cassandra did not dissipate the confusion on Draco's face, but made him even more distressed. It seemed that all this was related to the girl in front of him.
"Sister."
Draco spoke muffledly, and for some reason, Harry heard some strangeness in this greeting that shouldn't exist.
Harry waited for a while, and the two siblings fell into silence after saying hello. Draco looked down at his fingers uneasily, while Cassandra looked at Draco without saying a word.
"I've thought it through."
Draco lowered his head. He didn't dare to look at Cassandra. After saying these words, his body that was still barely holding on suddenly collapsed. After tangled thinking, Draco seemed to choose Regressed.
"It was my fault, I shouldn't have" Draco paused, his hands clenched into fists under the table, but soon let go, "I shouldn't have made you angry, and I shouldn't have made Dad angry either. Angry, I won’t go.”
Draco raised his head cautiously after saying these words. He was a little afraid of the girl in front of him who was no taller than him. Maybe it was because of her sister's identity?
But what responded to him was a pair of scrutinizing eyes. Cassandra said nothing with a cold face, but Draco, who was stared at like this, felt an increasingly heavy pressure, and he shrank back slightly. His eyes lowered again.
"No, you have to go."
"What?"
As if he was shocked by this answer, Draco raised his head suddenly, opened his mouth, and the joy that should have blurted out died at the last step.
"I'd better forget it."
He opened his mouth and said muffledly through gritted teeth, and shrank back again, almost drowning himself in the dark shadow of the corner.
"But that's what you want to do, right?"
Compared to Draco who shrank back, Cassandra leaned forward slightly. Mr. Table let out a cheer that no one could hear. It weighed the burden on its head, and then let out a satisfied squeak. Yeah.
"Then go, Draco, this is Hogwarts, not at home."
"You just want to make friends, don't you? Here, you are just a student. Whether it is Black or Malfoy, those things will not affect you now."
"Do what you want, Draco."
She clearly showed the attitude of a domineering female president, but Cassandra spoke like a caring sister. This contrast fell on the same person, and there seemed to be a strange cuteness.
Even Draco couldn't help but be stunned. He was completely suppressed by Cassandra who was leaning forward slightly at this moment, but he was completely moved by his sister's considerate words that warmed his heart.
But for some reason, Draco's body trembled unconsciously for a moment before he was excited, and his eyes were confused for a moment. After this extremely brief stiffness, he felt a little uneasy with some uncontrollable joy. The voice asked:
"Really? But when you were at home, weren't you still..." He cautiously raised his head and glanced at Cassandra, looking like the bullied younger brother at home.
"If you don't want to go, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"No, no, no, no, no, no," he opened the mouth in a panic, showing a flattering smile. After rummaging through his pockets, he took out a box of unopened Zizi Bee Candy, and said attentively Hold it with both hands and hand it forward.
"so be it."
Cassandra nodded slightly, took out a candy from the candy box, and watched Draco leave happily, but there was no sound of removing the candy wrapper. The candy only stayed on her slender white fingertips for a few seconds, and then He was swept into a dark corner. I wonder if the elves who came to clean the lounge when everyone was asleep would taste the sweetness wrapped in candy wrappers after discovering this candy. ?
Cassandra, who was not in the habit of talking to herself, could not give Harry any more information. She walked gracefully towards the girls' dormitory, but when he saw the slender and graceful back, Harry felt inexplicably. A chill arose.
He always felt that there was something strange about the short conversation between the siblings tonight, but he couldn't figure out what was strange.
"If we really meet, let's wait until the day we meet."
Without alerting anyone, Harry opened the door to the Slytherin lounge and left silently.
