HP: The Shadow Returns

It was already very late when she returned to the dormitory. After hastily cleaning up her things, she fell asleep directly because she was overtired.

At night, there are still nightmares and flames in the sky.

Fortunately, tomorrow is Sunday, and because Professor McGonagall gave them the notes and their two smart minds, she did not force them to go there. She just said that if they have any doubts, she welcomes them to come to her to clarify their doubts. .

What a good professor, isn't he?

Sansa Luo slowly opened her eyes from bed at almost noon.

There was a dull pain in his head, which would twitch violently every once in a while, and his body gradually felt weak from the inside out. Sansaro, who was familiar with the whole process, knew that he had fallen into the weak state that happens once a year again.

Lying weakly on the bed, waiting for the body temperature to gradually return to normal, Sansaro slowly closed his eyes.

Throughout the whole day, she lay in bed to rest, and the food Daphne brought back was brought by the Slavs and placed next to her bed before eating.

Although Pansy and Daphne wanted to know what happened to Sansaro, the fear in their hearts suppressed their strong curiosity.

Fortunately, because of the existence of the black mist, even though Sansaro was prone to getting sick, she recovered very quickly. In just one night, she was almost recovered again.

The next day when Sansaro came to dine at the long table, Theodore appeared next to him at some unknown time. His cold eyes were like X-rays. He quickly glanced up and down at Sansaro and said with certainty.

"you are sick"

Sansaro raised her eyelids and put down the small piece of steak that had not been delivered to her mouth. She turned her head to look at Theodore. A ray of sunlight staggered to hide the boy in the shadow, and her probing eyes passed through the layers. Layers of light never leave me.

In this short breath, she discovered that Theodore's blue pupils were a bit like a flower she had encountered when she was a child.

She had long forgotten the appearance of the flower in her memory, but she always remembered the bright and quiet blue color. Because it was so unique, it only bloomed once and stood quietly in the crevice in the corner.

No sunshine either...

"How do you know?" Sansaro quickly broke away from his thoughts and asked with a smile.

Theodore didn't notice the girl's brief trance. He first pushed over a cup of hot milk and said in a calm and slow tone.

"Your skin is very white, and the slight bluish color under your eyes is more obvious. Your lips are a little dry and grayer. It's not difficult to guess."

She squinted her eyes. Theodore's attentiveness and keen observation skills were really strong. You must know that even Cedric, who had known her for more than half a year, would not be able to tell anything strange about her if he didn't mean to.

"Are you so interested in everyone?" Sansaro gently picked up the milk and asked with a smile on his face, taking a sip.

After hearing this, Theodore's face immediately turned cold. He snorted coldly and raised one corner of his mouth, "Ha... I don't have that much time to waste."

In fact, needless to say, you can see how stupid this question is from his cold sneer and dissatisfaction.

"That's true, thank you for caring about me." Sansaro stared at him closely, lightly touched the tip of his pink tongue, and drank the milk in the cup bit by bit.

The two looked at each other

There was no unnecessary expression on Theodore's face, because he knew that Sansaro was as insincere to him as everyone else.

It seemed that no one could really make her treat her sincerely. He turned his head silently, and his heart seemed to have slowed down just now.

Looking at Sansaro who was greeting the other Slytherins who were coming to dine one after another, his blue eyes flashed across the darkness.

After a while, Daphne walked over to the two of them, holding two pieces of paper in her hand and handing them to them.

"The dean will collect the form for staying at school or going home for Christmas in the next class."

"Thank you" Sansaro reached out to take it and gave one of them to Theodore who was standing beside him.

Daphne nodded and subconsciously clenched her sleeves, "You're welcome."

Then she left here quickly.

"She is still afraid of you. What did you do to her then?"

Listening to Theodore's casual tone, Sansaro gently pinched the thin form, glanced at the content on it, and said casually

"I just scared her. They are too timid, aren't they?"

Theodore looked calm and did not express any opinions. After a while, he just said inexplicably

"I heard that Foley didn't sleep well the night before yesterday."

Sansaro laughed inexplicably upon hearing this, and when he raised his eyes, his cryptic gaze suddenly collided with Quirrell's who looked timid in the corner.

What a pretense, having to work under Dumbledore's nose every day, it's hard for Quirrell to work so hard as the Dark Lord's subordinate.

Sansaro quickly withdrew his gaze and continued to deal with the food on the plate, but everything just happened was completely visible to the silent Theodore next to him.

...

As Christmas is coming soon, beautifully decorated fir trees are piled in the corners of the castle, and small bells of various red and green colors are everywhere. Hogwarts is full of joy.

The gifts that Sansaro received early in the morning were almost piled up in the corner. They were not only from Slytherin, but also from Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.

But that's not all.

She had only partially removed it because now she had to quickly get dressed for the Hogwarts Express.

She was the only one left in the dormitory now. Pansy and Daphne greeted her and left first with Malfoy and the others.

Carrying her simple and light luggage, she walked through the hall and saw two figures waiting at the gate of the castle.

Sansaro raised her lips and said hello as usual.

"Good morning, Cedric, Charlotte."

When Cedric saw Sansaro appear, he came up to her and took the luggage from her hand very considerately. He put aside the blue rose hairpin on the girl's head and praised her softly.

"Let me take it. The new card looks great."

"Thank you"

Salo was holding her chest and teasing her friend. She winked at Sansalo and said, "Cedric has been waiting for a long time."

"It's really hard work." Sansaro looked at him with bent eyes after hearing this. Cedric's cheeks turned slightly red due to this gaze, and he pushed Sansaro angrily.

"It's not hard," Cedric said to her quickly, "Let's go, it will be too late in a while."

"Really? There's still half an hour before driving time."

"That's plenty of time, you can sit here and wait."

The two of them were quarreling with each other.

Sansaro followed them with a faint smile on her pale face. This was the first time she had seen Cedric like this. He was nothing like the usual close senior.

The light snow drifting in the sky brought a chill, and Cedric suddenly realized that his image in front of Sansaro seemed to have collapsed.

He turned to look at the smile on the girl's face, and his heart beat inexplicably faster.

Shalo noticed Cedric's eyes. He kept scanning the two of them, and a meaningful expression slowly appeared on his face.

But at this moment, Sansaro's attention was attracted by the Thestral pulling the cart. This skinny black Pegasus with a head like a dragon and huge bat wings, a magical creature that can only be seen after seeing death...

The two Thestrals noticed the aura on Sansaro's body, and they all looked at her, their dark eye sockets as terrifying as an abyss.

"Get in the car," Cedric put his luggage and said to the girl who stared at the empty space for a while.

"Okay" Sansaro looked away and let him help her to the carriage.

The Thestral was very fast, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the station outside Hogsmeade. The familiar scarlet Hogwarts train was parked here, emitting steam and making bursts of urging whistles.
