...

Well, well, I wasn't invited! said Malfoy impatiently. I'm not invited, are you glad?

No, I'm not happy! A smile leaked from Filch's face, and he said duplicity, beaming with joy. You're in trouble, you're in trouble! Didn't the headmaster say it's not allowed to go out at night unless you've got permission? Eh? Didn't you hear?

The music stopped at some point, and everyone was watching the unexpected surprise brought by Filch.

Obviously, Malfoy was not satisfied with such attention, and even became a little angry from embarrassment.

One second, Fan Lin was still shocked by Slughorn's bold move, and the next second he was about to accept the infighting within Umbridge's investigation team.

It seemed that Slughorn's ball wasn't that boring, and it wasn't just Malfoy who came uninvited, but also a strictly speaking, a great nobleman among vampires, ghosts. Do you know what Rutherford stands for?

Fortunately, Rutherford's arrival gave Fan Lin a reason not to talk to Slughorn.

But this Malfoy, Fan Lin was very curious about what he was going to do.

Not giving up on Felicia?

This is quite possible, but at this point in time Malfoy is still in school, there is no doubt that the disappearing cabinet has been placed in the Room of Requirement, and unexpectedly, Fan Lin searched for it for a long time in the Room of Requirement, Never found out where Malfoy hid it?

Or, Malfoy didn't use the Vanishing Cabinet at all?

But in fact, in Borgin-Bock Magic Store, there is nothing more suitable than the disappearing cabinet. Malfoy must be thinking of a way to restore the disappearing cabinet, but it is very likely that because Fan Lin always goes to the Room of Requirement, Malfoy changed his mind. hiding place.

Looking for something at Hogwarts is easy to say, but hard to say...

Professor Snape promised to finish it off for Malfoy. Naturally, these clues are not a problem.

Snape must know Hogwarts better than Fan Lin, after all, Fan Lin is far behind in terms of living time here.

And the disappearing cabinet is not in the Room of Requirement, Fan Lin really can't think of any other place to put it.

Could it be Snape's office?

This idea flashed by, and was quickly rejected by Fan Lin.

Professor Snape had no reason to take such a mess that was doomed to failure into his own hands. This was definitely a thankless job, and it also conflicted with Fan Lin's plan.

Dumbledore was no longer threatened by the curse, and naturally he didn't need to use death or other means to seduce Voldemort into the bait. Moreover, Van Lin didn't think that the power obtained from the god of death could be compensated by an old wand.

Destroy Azkaban in one blow?

This is something even Dumbledore can't do.

However, according to Rutherford's news, Voldemort lacks the key, that is, the opportunity, the power is very limited, Voldemort can't leave anywhere in a short time, and under the threat of Voldemort himself, those elite Death Eaters can't be underestimated underestimated.

Maybe we can follow the example of the Ministry of Magic, let them in, and then come to a urn to catch the turtle?

In any case, being able to deal with Voldemort's subordinates in advance would definitely cut Voldemort's power in half.

A Dark Lord without minions is clearly incompetent.

Then let Malfoy fix the disappearing cabinet, let him do it, but it's not clear whether Professor Snape can get the information about their actions.

That shouldn't be too difficult since it depends on Dumbledore.

Unless Voldemort's head was hit by a heavy object, otherwise, if he really counted on his men to solve Dumbledore, then Voldemort wouldn't have to struggle so hard with the vampire's forbidden area.

Moreover, judging from Voldemort's current situation, his head can resist Fan Lin's curse, or is it the intracranial concussion caused by the shock wave?

What exactly lies inside Voldemort's skull is still unknown.

Oh, it's okay, Argus, it's okay, Slughorn said, interrupting Fan Lin's train of thought, which is what Fan Lin hates.

Slughorn waved his hand generously. It's Christmas, and it's no sin to want to party. Just this once, let's forget about all punishment; you can stay, Draco.

For a split second, Filch's angry disappointment was palpable; but why, Harry thought as he watched Malfoy, was Malfoy almost as unhappy?

And why did Snape look at Malfoy's expression both angry and...is that possible? ... and a little worried?

Before Harry could take the scene in his mind, Filch turned and shuffled away, muttering something under his breath; Malfoy had put on a smile and thanked Slughorn for his Forgiving; Snape's expression was elusive again.

It's nothing, nothing, said Slughorn, waving his hand, after all, I did know your grandfather...

He thinks very highly of you, sir, said Malfoy quickly. Said you were the best pharmacist he knew...

Harry stared at Malfoy. It wasn't Malfoy's flattery that interested him; he'd been saying it to Snape for a long time. Harry was concerned with the fact that Malfoy did look a little sick.

To be honest, it was the first time in years that Harry had seen Malfoy so closely; he saw deep shadows under Malfoy's eyes, and a distinct grayish tinge to his skin.

Malfoy's condition is not good, in fact, in everyone's impression, Malfoy should be that handsome, arrogant leather boy.

But it cannot be denied that a good family background gave Draco a perfect state of mind, and now.

Obviously, in Fan Lin's eyes, Malfoy had fallen into deep confusion, and this came from Dumbledore's pressure.

A Dumbledore in normal form, and he wanted to kill one of the greatest White Wizards, after awakening from the vanity promised by Voldemort, then the pressure naturally came, and it was impossible for Lucius to say nothing.

I want to speak to you, Draco, Professor Snape said suddenly.

Oh no, listen to me, Severus, said Slughorn, belching again, it's Christmas, don't be so harsh—

I'm Head of his House, and I should decide how strict, or how loose, Snape said curtly. Come with me, Draco.

A very strong reason.

They were off, Snape leading the way, Malfoy following indignantly. Harry stood hesitantly in front of Fan Lin for a while, and then said, I'll be right back.

Oh, of course, you brought the things? Fan Lin said, surprised at how well Harry followed Dumbledore's orders. Even when he was attending a banquet, Harry still put his tights...

Invisibility cloak with...

Oh, of course, Harry patted his pockets with his hands, always carry it.

So, why are you going? Luna seemed to have just recovered.

Luna... I, uh... go to the bathroom. Harry thought for a moment, he almost forgot that Luna was his girlfriend.

Okay, Luna said happily, and Harry walked quickly into the crowd, as if he heard her start discussing the rotten tooth conspiracy with Professor Trauna again. interested.

As soon as he walked out of the meeting hall, he pulled out the invisibility cloak in his pocket and put it on his body, because the corridor was deserted, this seemed easy. The hard part was finding Snape and Malfoy.

Harry ran down the corridor, his footsteps muffled by the music and loud chatter and laughter from Slughorn's office. Maybe Snape took Malfoy to his basement office... maybe he escorted Malfoy back to the Slytherin common room... Harry put his ears to the doors one by one as he walked forward Up, all the way to the last classroom in the corridor, Harry finally heard the voice over the keyhole, and he felt a burst of excitement.

...can't afford to be wrong, Draco, because if you get fired—

I have nothing to do with it at all, okay?

I hope you're telling the truth, because it's been clumsily and stupidly done. You've been suspected of being involved.

Who doubts me? Draco said angrily. One last time, I didn't do it, okay? That girl named Belle or something must have had an unknown enemy—don't look at me like that! I know what you're doing, and I'm not stupid, but that doesn't Use - I can stop you!

There was a moment's silence, and then Snape whispered, Ah... Aunt Bellatrix has taught you Occlumency, but you are much better than Potter. I see. What do you think? Hiding it from your master, Draco?

I don't have anything to hide from him, I just don't want you to interfere! Harry put his ear to the keyhole again... What happened to make Malfoy talk to Snape like this, he said to Snape Nep had always respected, even liked?

So that's why you've been avoiding me this term? You're afraid of me meddling with you? You know, who would dare not come to my office after I've been called several times, Draco—

Then you put me in confinement! Report to Dumbledore! Malfoy sneered. There was another silence, and then Snape said, You know very well that I don't want to do either of those two things.

Then you'd better not let me go to your office again! Draco said loudly, obviously dissatisfied with Snape's arrangement, but in fact, it was difficult for Harry to tell what Malfoy's mood was.

Listen to me, said Snape, his voice so low that Harry had to press harder to hear the keyhole. I'm trying to help you! I swore an oath to your mother to protect you. I made an unbreakable oath. This cannot be denied. Moreover, I don't intend to, and it is impossible to break this oath. Therefore, Della division--

Well, it looks like you'll have to find a way to break it, because I don't need your protection! It's my job, he gave it to me, and I'm working on it! I've come up with a plan, And it will work, it just took longer than I thought!

What's your plan?

It's none of your business!

If you tell me what you want to do, I can assist you—

I have all the help I need, thank you, I'm not alone!

You've got to be alone tonight, it's terribly stupid, wandering the corridors without guards and backup. These are the lowest mistakes—

If you haven't put Carat and Goyle in confinement, I have them to help!

Keep it down! said Snape suddenly, as Malfoy's voice grew louder with excitement. .For the exam, they need to work harder than now—

What does it matter? Malfoy said. I mean, who cares? At Hogwarts? Take some ridiculous exam to decide your life? Defense Against the Dark Arts—this whole thing is a joke, a Ministry of Magic play? As if anyone needed As if defending against the dark arts—

This is a vital play to success, Draco! said Snape. Where do you think I'd be these few years if I couldn't act? Listen to me now! You're not enough Be cautious, walk around at night, get caught, and if you're relying on assistants like Carla and Goyle—

I'm not alone, I have others on my side, better people!

Then why don't you trust me, I can—

I know what your plan is, you want to steal my honor! Draco was a little excited, so that his voice became a little louder.

Another silence, honor, theft, conflict?

In Harry's ears, it was simply a provocative word, and according to his thoughts, a Death Eater, a Death Eater's son, had someone's mission in his hand, intending to destroy Hogwarts?

In an instant, Harry thought of all the possibilities and almost constructed a perfect script in Harry's mind.

Voldemort gave Draco the task, and then Snape was excluded, the task belonging to the Malfoy family.

Hell, Bellatrix taught Draco Occlumency for this mission, to keep Draco's thoughts from prying eyes.

The only thing that made Harry dissatisfied was that Snape's words were better than Potter's...

This really made Harry very uncomfortable, and Harry almost jumped out to catch the rape... Bah, the scene of the thief.

But it seemed that everything was made up by himself, so Harry had to continue to listen patiently.

It's also the only option...

Otherwise, rush out and put those two people down?

Among the people Harry knew, apart from Dumbledore who could easily do it, it is estimated that only Sirius would choose to rush out and make a move.

Oh, Fan Lin might just hide in the sidelines and observe secretly...

Harry was thinking about all the possibilities. Although he was a bit off track, at least Harry enjoyed it. After a while, Snape said coldly, You talk like a child. I understand very well. Your father's arrest and imprisonment has upset you, but—

Suddenly, Harry realized that he had only a second to react. Harry heard Malfoy's footsteps coming from the other side of the door, and the door swung open. Malfoy flung it open and walked out with an angry face. .

Malfoy strode down the corridor past Slughorn's open office, turned a corner in the far distance, and disappeared.

Harry curled up, not daring to show his breath, Snape walked out of the classroom slowly, with an unfathomable expression on his face, and he returned to the meeting hall.

And Harry was still curled up on the floor, under his cloak, his mind racing.
