HP: The Shadow Returns

But unfortunately, they never seem to learn their lesson.

"You pushed her down, right?"

Hearing her question, Sansaro slowly straightened up from the bed with his back to Greengrass, like a twisted ghost.

"You really want to know?"

Daphne couldn't see her face, but there was a very uneasy feeling coming from that lowly half-breed, as well as that ethereal and cold voice.

"Cuckoo..." The strange cry of the owl spread throughout the dormitory, and the echo lingered. The surrounding temperature became even colder, and Daphne could even see her own hot breath in the air.

She stared at Sansaro's back and swallowed. The dormitory was already very dark, but for some reason, her eyes seemed blurry at this moment, and she actually saw black mist everywhere!

And those monsters with heads that look like flower petals suddenly appear! The head that slowly turned away had already opened its mouth to him!

Daphne froze in place, her pupils already contracted excessively due to fear.

"why do not you speak?"

Sansaro's faint voice pierced through her brain like lightning, causing Daphne to wake up suddenly. She was already covered in cold sweat as she stood there, her violent heartbeat and trembling body constantly reminding her of the horrific nightmare she had just fallen into.

Looking at the mixed blood just now, she was still lying on the bed as calmly as when she entered the door. The dark green window curtains covered part of her, and the owl in her arms was staring at her with its eyes.

Everything seems like nothing happened...

This frightened Daphne so much that she closed her pale lips tightly, not daring to say a word. She silently took a few steps back and sat down on her bed and curled up. The extreme fear made her never look here again.

Sansaro closed her eyes and enjoyed the clean environment, with a sarcastic curve on her lips, thinking that this "pure-blood noble" could hold on for a few more seconds.

There were only two of them in the dormitory at night, and the news that Parkinson had been admitted to the infirmary on the first day of school spread throughout Slytherin the next day.

In the morning, Sansaro was eating breakfast alone at the long table in the hall. All the wizards in Slytherin were sitting far away from her, and anyone with a discerning eye could see her current situation.

The first time Cedric came here, he came to look for her. When he walked towards Slytherin, almost everyone was surprised, that was Slytherin!

Because almost no one in the academy wants to make friends with them. It is well known that they are vicious and hypocritical, and the dark days they have experienced in the past have made everyone stay away from Slytherin.

"Are they giving you a hard time?"

Looking into those gray eyes, the girl had a smile on her lips and said nothing. At this point, Cedric also understood. He suddenly felt the urge to raise his hand and touch Sansaro's head. After hesitating for a moment, he finally just Clenched fists.

It was shocking enough for Cedric in Hufflepuff to come to the Slytherin table for a girl, but the next scene when Malfoy came to make trouble was even more exciting.

"Hey you!"

Malfoy came out of nowhere, shouted to Sansaro in a low voice, and led a group of people to stop next to the two of them. Then he loudly mocked Cedric who was opposite him.

"Look who is this? Hufflepuff? Anyone can come here, right?"

Cedric, who had always had a good temper, was very angry. He stood up and looked down at Draco, who was more than half shorter than him. His smooth forehead immediately wrinkled and his lips tightened and said:

"Shut up, Malfoy"

"Ah"

Malfoy turned his head and looked at the people behind him before snorting coldly. Just when he was about to continue saying something, a sudden coldness came from the bottom of his heart and he couldn't help but shudder.

He subconsciously looked at Sansaro. The dark pupils behind the glasses were staring at him with a cold look. Suddenly, a nameless anger arose in his heart.

Was he actually frightened by her eyes?

Sansaro glanced at Daphne, who was standing behind the team, and met her pale gaze. Daphne immediately looked away in fear.

"you!"

Malfoy stared at her with wide eyes, and when he saw Sansaro standing up, he couldn't control himself and took two steps back.

Almost everyone's eyes are focused here.

"Cuckoo!"

The hoot of an owl sounded, and the hidden mist stirred and blended into their bodies. Daphne in the back couldn't help but turn pale when she heard it, as if she remembered what happened last night... Fear filled her The body was shaking slightly.

Cedric glanced at these people with great disgust, then took Sansaro's hand and said

"Let's go, I'll take you to the classroom"

Sansaro was pulled by him without resistance, but in a flash, the two of them walked out of the hall one after another. After they left, Malfoy became angry and pushed an innocent Gryffindor boy who was passing by to the ground.

"I will make her look good next time!"

"Were you scared just now? Daphne?" Zabini, who had been observing the situation, had extremely keen senses. He approached Greengrass and asked with a slight frown.

"No...I..."

Seeing Daphne stumbling nervously, everyone looked at each other.

——––————–·–——––——·

Both of them walked silently on the moving stairs.

A Hufflepuff girl seemed to know Cedric. She was about to greet him with a smile, but she saw Sansaro holding hands with him.

When Sansaro saw the girl's face, she became visibly disappointed the next second.

"Good morning, Cedric"

"Good morning, Freya, I'll leave first if I have something else to do."

He spoke quickly and left here, contrary to his usual elegant nature.

The girl named Friya just watched the male god Cedric pulling a Slytherin... Wait, Slytherin? ! The little badger finally realized that the girl was actually wearing a green scarf.

Merlin's stinky socks! This is simply shocking gossip!

Sansaro secretly looked at Cedric's abnormal look and glanced at the place where the two of them were holding hands. He used a little too much force and must have turned red...

He seemed to be angry. It was such an interesting emotion. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of something. Just people are often the best to control. Sansaro moved her lips and said deliberately.

"You don't actually need this"

"what?"

The two of them had arrived on the third floor and stood at the door of the Transfiguration classroom. Because it was still early, no one was here yet. Cedric turned around in confusion and saw that he had grown taller than half a year ago. But still a thin girl.

The thick robe fit her body perfectly, not bulky at all, but much more attractive.

Sansaro lowered his eyes and took out his hand, and sure enough, the red marks on his fingers were clearly visible.

"sorry, I.."

When Cedric saw his masterpiece, he hurriedly began to apologize. A blush appeared on the tips of his ears, but Sansaro didn't notice it.

"It's okay," the girl said calmly. She raised her eyes and looked at the expression on the boy's face. "You don't actually need to help me."

He stared at the girl and frowned in confusion, only to hear Sansaro continue with a smile.

"It won't do you any good to help a poor useless friend, will it?"

"No,...."

Cedric kept trying to explain, but he didn't know what to say next. Say she wasn't pitiful? Is this how friends should be?

"....I should go to class." There was a faint hint of disappointment in Sansaro's eyes.

She didn't even say goodbye, Cedric just spread his hands and watched blankly as Sansaro opened the door and disappeared.

He thought to himself, had he done something wrong...
