【Yo Deng】Badger and Snake

Transforming (1)

"Dengzi, are you coming to the party tonight?"

The silver table knife, which was originally easy to handle, stopped in the middle of the steak.Nanami Dengzi raised her eyes to look at the speaker, Saeki Samika's beautiful green eyes stared at her without blinking through the monocle.

"No, I haven't finished my thesis on Defense Against the Dark Arts yet, you guys have fun."

"Hmm..." Zuobo put down the knife and fork hesitantly, "I guess you don't plan to watch the first knockout match tomorrow, do you?"

"This year's Quidditch knockout rounds have already started?" Nanami forked a piece of meat into her mouth, "I forgot if you didn't tell me. Which house is the first match Slytherin against?"

"Ravenclaw."

Qihai's chewing movements were imperceptibly paused.

"You're right, I really don't intend to watch it," she swallowed the piece of meat and smiled apologetically, "I'm really not interested in Quidditch."

Zuobo sighed: "I dragged you to watch the last scene of last semester, and I thought there would be some changes. You also know that this kind of occasion focuses on form rather than content, right? Slytherin prefects don't attend their own house An important match—if it is used as a fuss by someone with a heart, what are you going to do?"

Looking at the silent Qihai, she shook her head helplessly, and the chain of the gold-rimmed monocle swayed accordingly, making a slight rattling sound.

After four years of companionship, she has long been familiar with Qihai Dengzi's various rejections and excuses, as if she can now understand from Qihai's movement of stroking the tip of her index finger that the other party must be considering a serious apology.She knew that Qihai's apology was sincere, but this apology was sent from such a far away place, and sometimes she felt that she would never be able to cross it, and would always be able to watch the fireworks from the other side, and always maintain a state of being unattainable. , can't take half a step.

"I know you understand," she finally said first, "You just don't want to do it. Forget it, I'm going anyway, and no one will say anything if you attend. If you don't want to come, then don't come Bar."

Looking at those emerald green eyes, Qihai sincerely thanked: "Thank you, Sha Mixiang. If I enter the finals, I will definitely go."

"It's not been a day or two, there's nothing to be thankful for," Zuobo smiled and drank his black tea, with a light bitterness on the tip of his tongue, "Just remember to come to the next dance, Rozier's eldest son called you to go .”

"The son of the director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters?" Qihai frowned, "I really hope he graduates soon, I'm fed up with this frivolous dude."

"Soon, he is already in the seventh grade, and he will graduate in June this year," Saeki reassured her, "I will follow you, he dare not do anything out of the ordinary."

Qihai smiled at her and lowered her head to drink tea.Saiki took off the monocle for his right eye, and took out a silk cloth from his pocket to wipe it.Without the shading of the lenses, those green eyes are more elegant and charming, worthy of the owner's title of "Jade of Slytherin".

Qi Hai lowered her eyes, counting the ripples on the tea surface.Her own blue eyes reflected in the water were clear and startlingly cold.

Suddenly there were some ripples in the teacup.Those ripples spread from the reflection's lips and jaw, and then began to deform subtly.Qihai touched her mouth subconsciously, and the movement of muscles and bones was clearly felt——

It is not the reflection that is transforming, but herself.

After realizing this, Qihai stood up suddenly, and the white round table shook for a while.Saeki looked at her in surprise: "Dengzi? What's wrong with you?"

Covering her mouth, Qihai said vaguely: "I... go to the bathroom." After leaving this sentence, she left in a hurry.Saeki stood up, but before he had time to react, the other party had disappeared from sight.

Qihai almost stumbled into the bathroom, bumping into several people along the way.Fortunately, there was no one in the bathroom. She leaned on the washbasin and bent over to pant. She removed the hand covering her mouth and nose, and looked at herself in the mirror—the shape of the lips of the person in the mirror had completely changed, and her jaw had also widened from side to side. ;The nose is sunken down a bit, a bit shorter, not a little bit of the usual delicacy; the cheekbones are slowly moving up, the face is gradually bulging; the eyes are flattened, and the eyebrows are also separated.

When the dust settled on the last change on her face, she saw in the mirror that the mediocre black-haired woman had also lost her stature.

After taking off the robe that was dragged to the ground, she looked at herself in the mirror with a pale face—to be exact, it wasn't her anymore.Except for eye color, skin color and hair color, this face has nothing in common with Qihai Dengzi.

But she was familiar with this face.Nanami caressed her chubby cheeks with trembling hands.This is the "mask" she took off a few hours ago, and it looks transformed after taking the disguise potion.

"why……"

She only took the dose for three hours in the morning, and the effect of the medicine has long since faded, so why did she suddenly lose her shape now?

There were footsteps outside the door, Qi Hai came back to her senses, quickly entered the penultimate compartment, and locked the door.

Now is not the time to panic.Not to mention that Sha Mixiang had no choice but to leave without saying goodbye right now, and this month's prefect meeting would be in one and a half hours, how could she attend this month's prefect meeting?

Pulling out her wand, she settled down and started writing in mid-air.Where the tip of the stick passed, there was a glowing silver writing, forming a brief letter:

"To Lao Zhou,

"There is a problem with the disguise potion. It changed shape again after two hours of fading. It is urgent, please return soon."

She tapped on the silver text and whispered: "Call God to protect you."

Silver mist spewed out from the tip of the staff, wrapped the handwriting, and condensed into a silver eagle, about half a person's height, with a beautiful radiance all over its body.

"Go to 'Lao Zhou'," she whispered, "see him alone, and bring me a letter."

The eagle-shaped Patronus flapped its wings a few times and disappeared through the wall.Qihai leaned against the door panel, and heard the sound of flushing water coming from the compartment near the door of the bathroom, followed by the sound of the door opening, the sound of water, and the sound of distant footsteps.She breathed a sigh of relief, spread out the robe hanging on her arm, and took out a gold coin from her pocket.

"Tracking Shadows." She pressed the tip of her staff against the Galleon, and the pattern on the back of the coin melted and reorganized, spelling out the word "Hall".

Looking at the time on the pocket watch, Qihai gritted her teeth, as if she had made a decision.

※※※

After pouring down the remaining half cup of pumpkin juice, Koito let out a long and comfortable sigh.The short-haired girl sitting across from her yawned, the dark circles under her eyes were quite heavy, and the Ravenclaw uniform robe decorated with blue and copper was also a little wrinkled, and even the eagle emblem, which was the symbol of the academy, was stained a little Grey, as if being wrapped up and sleeping all night.

"Li, are you okay, you have almost yawned ten times during lunch alone." Yu looked at his exhausted friend with some worry, "You seem to be staying up all night lately, what can I do to help you?" Is it a busy place?"

"It's okay." Ye Li waved his hand, "The mid-term exam is coming soon, and I'm studying hard. Potions and ancient runes can memorize me to death."

"You still need to review Potions? You can get 'excellent' with your eyes closed, right?"

"You can't say that. If you are careless, you will definitely make a mistake. But are you okay? It seems that you are still focused on the team's affairs."

"I have a sense of proportion," Yu grinned, "The main reason is that the knockout round is about to start, and the recent training will be more intense."

"Yeah, it looks like Ravenclaw is going to play tomorrow." Li tugged at the ends of his curly hair, "Which house is it for? I don't pay much attention to these."

"To Slytherin," Yuu continued.

Mentioning the name of this academy, she couldn't help but think of that beautiful black-haired senior.Two weeks ago, Qihai Dengzi's sly face reappeared in front of her eyes. She curled her lips to look at the goblet in her hand, and found that the glass that had just been emptied had been refilled automatically at this time, but it was not the previous pumpkin juice. It's a sparkling blue citrus drink.

The color of the liquid in the cup is blue, sinking from the sky-like transparency at the top, and accumulating into a deep blue at the bottom, very much like the color of that person's compound soup.

"Uh, Yu," Li suddenly called out to her, and stuffed a piece of parchment into his pocket with his right hand, "I'm going to the bathroom."

You made a "hmm", Ye Li hurriedly stood up and disappeared at the other end of the long table.The Hufflepuff Seeker glanced at several Gryffindors who were smearing cherry pie on each other's faces and a Ravenclaw who was reading a paper while eating an apple, and found that the last dish on the long table had been emptied , all replaced by fruit and exquisite desserts.

She popped a piece of Frosted Toad into her mouth and drank the blue orange juice in her hand.The bubble drink is moderately sweet and sour, very appetizing, unlike the compound decoction infused with Qihai’s hair, which is as salty and bitter as sea water—in the half month since Valentine’s Day, she has only drank it twice, But I feel that I will never forget that taste in my life.

After playing with the goblet for a while, Ye Li came back anxiously.Meeting her inquiring gaze, Li forcibly stretched his brows, and picked up the bag on the opposite bench with a smile: "Sorry, Yu, I have to take a step first—it's urgent, I have to go back to the Ravenclaw Tower .”

"It's okay, you go," Yu replied, "I'll go back to the common room after eating. Will we have dinner together at night? Shuri and Maki-kun will also come."

Li looked a little troubled: "I don't know if this matter can be resolved before dinner..."

Yu thought for a while: "Then I'll contact you when the time comes? Do you still keep the communication Kanon that Maki gave us last time?"

"Ah, yes. Then let's get in touch again. I wish you all the best."

"You too."

You waved her hand, took a sip of her drink and read the calendar, and hurried out of the auditorium again, wondering: she just went to the bathroom, why did her friend who was always moody become so worried?

Reminiscent of Ye Li's thick dark circles and vague explanations, she was worried again whether the other party was in some kind of trouble.

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly caught a glimpse of an Asian girl she had never seen before entering the auditorium.The girl had waist-length black hair, the sweater on her body was a little loose, and a Slytherin robe was hanging in her arms. She looked around as if looking for someone, but she didn't look from the long Slytherin table. It was the table looking at Hufflepuff, and then this long mixed table where she was.

Yu met her eyes.She looked very anxious, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she immediately walked in her direction.

"...?" Yu looked around suspiciously, there wasn't a single Slytherin on the long mixing table, and everyone around them was doing their own thing.She felt that she had lost her sight: she didn't even know this girl, how could the other party be looking at her?

But the girl stopped firmly on her right side, and said hoarsely: "Uh, that..."

Yu was a little surprised: "Are you looking for me?"

The girl shrank her neck under her eyes, opened and closed her mouth in a tangled expression, her dark blue eyes rolled in her eye sockets, as if she had a thousand words but didn't know where to start.

Yu was attracted by her eyes for a while, and suddenly realized that she seemed to have seen a pair of exactly the same eyes somewhere.

The same blue eyes, the same smooth black hair, the same Slytherin.

"Qihai...senior?"

As she subconsciously called out the name, the unknown girl's expression froze completely.

"You... how do you know..."

Her voice was hoarse and deep, completely inconsistent with the gentle and soft in Yu's impression, but the strange and ordinary facial features put together a familiar awkwardness and embarrassment.

Yu was really taken aback this time.The goblet filled with blue citrus juice slipped a few centimeters from her hand and hit the wooden table with a muffled sound.

"What—Senior, is it really you?"

Transforming (2)

After pulling the doorknob and waiting for Nanami Dengzi to pass by, Yuu locked the door of the bathroom with a click.Turning around, she saw Qihai Dengzi standing in the middle of the bathroom stroking her left arm, her eyes wandering; if it wasn't for the fact that the bathroom furnishings on the first floor were not quite the same as those on the second floor, she would really feel like she was back in that " Never Ending Valentine's Day".

"Okay," Yu clapped his hands, "Now can you tell me what happened?"

The black-haired girl who was almost as tall as her in front of her could not see the slightest trace of Qihai Dengzi except for the color of her eyes and hair, so that if she immediately said that she was joking, Yu Bacheng would believe it.

Qihai wrung her fingers and said intermittently: "Uh, I... for some reason, I took the Disguise Potion. Now there is something wrong with the potion, and it can't be changed."

Yu's eyebrows twitched.Disguise potion?She thought that people who used this kind of plastic surgery potion thought they were not beautiful enough, and they didn't know what kind of mentality Qihai Dengzi was in. She would get rid of all the good-looking places, not to mention her height.

"...I see, so what occasion will Senior have to attend next?"

Qihai was so surprised that she couldn't wring her fingers: "What the hell are you..."

"If you think about it carefully, you can understand... If you don't need me to do something for you, why would you come to me at this time instead of going to the school hospital?"

"Okay," Qihai simply didn't make any detours, "I have a prefect meeting at 02:30. How is Koito-san, are you free then?"

"I'm free, but—prefect meeting?" Yu stared wide-eyed, "Aren't you joking, I don't understand the things and rules of your prefects, so going there for you is not a matter of time?"

Qihai took out her position and Garen looked at it, and said: "This is a routine meeting of the sixth-year prefects of four colleges, so our male prefect Rudolph will also go. You can go to Slytherin to rest early Wait for him at the door of the room, explain the situation to him, and he will find a way to help you."

Seeing that she put this absurd thing into place in a few words, You had no choice but to raise her hands in surrender: "... I said it before, if you find out what the consequences are, don't blame me!"

"It's okay," Qihai said with a relaxed expression, "Koito-san is so smart, she won't be discovered."

"Where does your inexplicable self-confidence come from..."

"Didn't you already take herbal medicine classes for me twice? This time Rudolph is here, so there will be no problem." She smiled with her eyes bent, "Compared to this, the compound decoction I gave you last time should be better There is one bottle left, do you have it with you?"

You fumbled in the pocket of the robe for a while, and took out a small bottle that was three fingers wide: "You are lucky, I wore yesterday's robe and put it in my pocket."

"Very good," Qihai looked at his pocket watch, "It's not too late, let's start."

Qihai pulled out a hair with ease, as if the sound of a thin string being snapped made Yu's scalp tingle for a while, but the senior curled that hair without changing his face, and threw it into the bottle containing compound decoction.The soup, which was originally muddy like mud, began to roll and bubble, and the color of the bottom changed, gradually changing into a beautiful dark blue, and gradually getting lighter all the way up.Yu felt the urge to pour it into a tall glass, then insert a slice of lemon and a straw and sell it as a cocktail.

However, the beauty is beautiful, but the taste is far worse than that of cocktails.Yu took the bottle of blue potion and hesitated as usual.

Polyjuice Potion is one of the most effective forms of disguise.Unlike disguise potions, which modify the original appearance, Polyjuice Potion can help the user become another person.You only need to add a little bit of the person you want to become to the primordial decoction, and you can maintain the perfect transformation for two to three hours-up to every hair, down to the mole on the tip of the toe, every appearance Features are perfectly reproduced, including the sound.Because of the particularity of the "ingredients" of the last blind, different people's compound decoction will have different colors and tastes. After using it for the first time, you specially checked the information and found that the decoction of Qihai Dengzi is not bad. Yes; rumor has it that someone has had a "great" taste of evenly mixed earth and boogers.

——It's like swimming in the sea and choking on two mouthfuls of water!Better than a mouth full of mud!

Comforting herself, Yu closed her eyes and raised her head, drinking the contents of the bottle in one go.

The salty taste like seawater spread in her mouth, followed by the burning sensation caused by the potion rolling down her throat.Yoo opened the door of the nearest cubicle and shut himself inside.Heat swept her whole body, she took off her robe and hung it aside, and began to take off her top - Qihai Dengzi didn't fit her size, it would be better to take off her clothes and deform her shape.

After taking off her upper body clothes, her fingertips changed.The nails, which were not at all, grew a little, and then the knuckles became longer, the palms became larger, and the skin started to turn white from the back of the hands; she pulled off the hair tie, felt the hair growing wildly, and the horizontal line of sight gradually raised ; There was a burst of uncomfortable heat on her face, she closed her eyes, and heard herself panting.

After her beating heart calmed down, she slowly opened her eyes, and then a black underwear that fell from the sky covered her face.

Yu: "..."

Pulling the black bra off her head with the straps, she heard Qihai calmly command from the right compartment: "Throw yours over here."

Yu choked: "What, what? My - senior, you can't fit it!"

"Don't be silly, do you want me to vacuum for three hours? Hurry up and throw it over here, don't force me to use the Flying Curse!" Qihai knocked hard on the partition, and Yuu balled up her underwear angrily, throwing it away Passed over: "I'd like to ask you how to recite the Feilai mantra!"

"Of course it's 'underwear flying here'—no, I need to add an attributive. Then 'Koito Yu's underwear is flying here'—ah, I got it. It turns out that Koito-san wears this, tsk tsk, it's so cute."

Yu shook his head, thinking he must have rolled his eyes.

They spent several minutes tossing and picking clothes at each other, swapping clothes little by little.When he opened the door and came out, Koito Yu saw a slightly pale "Nanami Lantern" in the mirror.She was pulling her hair while wearing a tie, and Nanami pulled her hand in disgust, and stuffed a small wooden comb: "Please don't scratch your head like me, Koito-san, goosebumps are coming up."

"..."

Yu decided it was better not to refute here.She combed her hair in front of the mirror, and Qihai folded her arms beside her and said: "You will see Rudolph in a while, just say that I can't attend in case of an emergency, and he won't ask any more questions. There is nothing important this month. The regular meeting should mainly focus on the knockout round of the Quidditch Cup, which is your area of ​​expertise, and you can play freely; other topics can be avoided if you can, and if you can't avoid it, leave it to Rudolph."

"I understand."

"...as part of the 'rule', the Gryffindor prefects will attack you at every opportunity, and Ravenclaw may go along with him. The Head Girl is Gryffindor, and will just turn a blind eye One eye; the male chairman is Landon Knott’s brother, he doesn’t have a good opinion of me, as long as the attack range does not expand to Slytherin, he will not interfere. You don’t have to be too confrontational, just keep the same line with Rudolph, other Don't take it to heart."

"it is good."

"Also..." Qihai looked a little hesitant, "Saeki Samika—you know her, right?"

See Yoo nodded, she went on to say: "She may block you at the door of the meeting room, because I didn't greet her when I just left. You just tell her 'There are still things to deal with, I will explain tonight', and then leave as soon as possible .Don't talk to her too much, you can't hide it from her."

"Yeah." Yu replied simply on the surface, but the hand that adjusted the tie stopped for a moment.

——Why didn't Nanami Dengzi let Saeki Samika go to the meeting instead of her?

Compared to her who knows nothing about prefect affairs, isn't it more suitable for Saiki who is always around Nanami?Saeki's potion class conflicts with herb class, so Qihai can't ask her to be a substitute for herb class, but this situation does not exist in the prefect meeting.

It should be something that I don't want to be known about taking the disguise potion.Yu thought.Although these two seniors are always inseparable and close in the rumors, no matter how much friends talk about everything, they will have their own little secrets.

Seeing that Yu seemed a little distracted, Qihai asked again worriedly: "Do you remember what I just said?"

"Alright, I'll remember," Yu smiled reassuringly, "Senior, you are really serious. When it comes time to implement something that you have decided with confidence, you start to worry again."

"It's human nature." Qi Hai casually walked over, "It's already [-]:[-], you go quickly. I'll wait for you to come back in the innermost compartment, remember to knock on the door three times before telling me to come out .”

Yuu nodded, and opened the bathroom door under Nanami's gaze.

※※※

The Slytherin common room is a dungeon that goes further down than Hufflepuff's basement.You have never been inside, but I heard that the entire dungeon is not at the bottom of the lake, and you can see various creatures in the lake swimming outside the window through the glass.

When she came to the location that Nanami Lantern had told her, she happened to meet Rudolf Goldstein coming out of the hole behind the stone wall.The male head of the sixth grade Slytherin combed back his hair meticulously and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He was tall and fair, with a somewhat bookish look.

"Qami, where have you been?" As soon as he saw Yu, he immediately asked, "Zebo was looking for you just now, what's wrong with you?"

"Goldstein, it's me, Koito." Yu hurriedly explained, "Senior Nanami couldn't come because of something, and she asked me to attend on her behalf. She told me to come here and wait for you, and let you know in advance."

Rudolph asked in surprise, "What happened to her recently? First you were asked to help her with herbal medicine class, but now you are even asked to come to the prefect meeting?"

"She——she encountered a situation where she couldn't get out of it." Yu said without confidence, because she didn't know why Qihai took the disguise potion.Fortunately, Rudolph didn't ask any further questions, but just nodded to signal her to keep up: "It's okay, it's fine for 'Nanami Lantern' to attend. The situation is tense at the moment, and if she doesn't show up, someone wants to gossip. She should have told you about the precautions Is it over?"

"Yes."

"That's good. I'll try my best to cover you, and leave the unanswerable topics to me."

Rudolf Goldstein's strides were big and brisk, and he thought that if he hadn't become Nanami, he would have to trot to keep up.

——It is good to have long legs.

She glanced at "her" legs, and felt that this experience of growing ten centimeters taller was a more wonderful benefit than Qihai's tutoring exam, although this experience would make her feel a subtle sense of loss when she returned to her original state.

After climbing four floors, the two came to the prefect's lounge on the east side of the third floor of the castle.As Qihai expected, a tall and beautiful figure was leaning against the door of the lounge.Hearing footsteps, she turned her head, and the chain of her monocle rattled.

"Dengzi, Rudolph." Samika Saeki lowered his arms and called out.

"Sa-Sa Mixiang." Yu almost reflexively called out "Senior Saeki". Fortunately, the first syllable at the beginning of this senior's surname and first name was "Sa", which gave her a chance to change her words.

Rudolph cast a glance at you, and took the initiative to change the subject: "Why did you come here?" While talking, he winked and wanted to go in first.Saeki skipped this topic, grabbed Yu who was about to take a step, and said, "Dengzi, why did you just leave during lunch? You don't usually behave like this. What happened? I'm very worried. Looking for you."

"Uh, I..." Seeing the undisguised concern in those emerald green eyes, Yu felt a burst of embarrassment that could not be described in words.Before she could speak according to Nanami's instructions, Rudolph could not bear to move his footsteps, forcing Yuu to back away without a trace, so that she could distance herself from Saeki. "The meeting is about to start, and Qihai and I will go in first. If you have something to say, you can talk about it later, okay?"

Saeki withdrew his hand, looked back and forth between Rudolph and Yu, and narrowed his eyes.

"Okay," she said slowly, staring at Yuu, "you guys go, this matter—we'll talk about it later."

An ominous premonition suddenly surged in Yu's heart, but Rudolph had already opened the door and signaled her to go in.

Yuchao Samika smiled awkwardly, and hurried into the meeting room without seeing the latter's expression—the pair of green eyes behind the monocle gave her the illusion of being completely seen through.

They were the last prefects to enter the lounge.As soon as he stepped in, Yu felt that everyone's eyes were on him.She closed the door behind her hands calmly, walked to the only two vacant seats, and at the same time looked around the room from the corner of her eye: sitting at the innermost end of the rectangular wooden table was Ivan Nott, the eldest son of the Nott family, Langdon Nott's elder brother, with a badge symbolizing the president of the male student union pinned on his chest; next to Ivan is the Gryffindor seventh-grade female student union president, with fluffy brown hair like a lion's temple.Yoo and Rudolph are on the left column of Ivan, the male and female prefects of Ravenclaw are below, Gryffindor is directly opposite, and Hufflepuff is diagonally opposite.

Yu sat down next to the male prefect of Ravenclaw in rolled robes, and his eyes stayed on the two prefects of Hufflepuff for a while.She was very familiar with those two people. The male prefect was her Quidditch teammate, Edward the Batter;Noticing her gaze, Grade quickly glanced back at her, his eyes were stern and cold, completely different from his usual gentle and polite appearance.

"Isn't there a clock in the Slytherin dungeon?" Before Yu could sit still, the man in the armchair opposite started, "It's really a long wait, Miss Nanami, Mr. Goldstein."

The person who spoke was Aldrich, the male prefect of Gryffindor, who was the so-called "big brother" in Dojima's mouth.This person was in a gang in Gryffindor and was arrogant. Yu had never liked him, but they were indeed late, and it was hard to say anything, so they had the right to ignore it.

Ivan coughed and introduced the topic.The meeting really revolved around the Quidditch Cup knockout match, but most of the discussions were behind-the-scenes trifles, and Yu didn't know much about it, so most of the time he kept his mouth shut and smiled while listening to their arguments, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles, hoping that the time would pass quickly.

When she was distracted to look at the wall clock on the wall again, Aldrich suddenly drew fire on her: "Miss Nanami has always been eloquent, why is she so silent today? What do you think of our proposal just now?"

Aldridge had just proposed on behalf of Gryffindor that students from non-participating houses be banned from attending the match.Yu thought quickly, and Rudolph shook his head slightly.

disagree?

Shall we clash with Gryffindor here?

She then remembered that Qihai Dengzi's philosophy is "academic harmony", and she settled down: "I don't think there is a need to prohibit it. Last year and the year before last, the entrance permit was opened. The effect is very good, the atmosphere is warm, and it is also conducive to the relationship between the academy. Why should we cancel the friendly exchange?"

"'Friendly exchange between colleges'?" Aldridge opened his eyes exaggeratedly, "Miss Nanhai really dared to say that. Last year we played against Ravenclaw in the third place game, two of your people mixed into the crowd to give Gryffin Do you remember how many goalkeepers put a poisonous curse on her and nearly got her killed by a Bludger?"

Yoo glanced at Rudolph in surprise—she had never heard of such a thing!Rudolph reprimanded: "Aldrich, you dare to bring up things that are not conclusive? Which eye of yours sees that it is our people?"

"Again, 'Which eye of yours saw it was ours'?" Aldridge repeated, choking, "as if no one saw it and it didn't exist. The scene left a clear Traces of the dark magic, could it be Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff instead of Slytherin?"

"What does this have to do with the academy?" Yu felt incomprehensible, "Slytherin must be the one who uses black magic? Which Hogwarts academy has no dark wizards?"

"No college has ever produced someone as powerful as you," Aldrich sneered, "'The devil who can't even mention his name'—"

"—you can't just because Slytherin had a Voldemort—"

"—there was more than one Dark Lord in Slytherin," the Ravenclaw prefect cut in sharply, "and hundreds of Death Eaters, too many innocent men and women in those two wars Wizards slay their rods—"

"—Even so, some Slytherins participated in the defense of Hogwarts, some resisted Voldemort, and some sacrificed for the victory!" Yu really got a little angry, "Why do you have to frame it with stereotyped and outdated college impressions? dead present and future students—"

"—Enough, Qihai, stop here." Ivan Nott interrupted her, "Alyssa, don't you think your dear subordinates are too noisy? This is a prefect meeting, not a bargaining alley Fair." He cast a warning glance at the Gryffindor chairwoman beside him.

Alyssa said blankly: "Aldrich, don't elevate everything to the academy level. The same goes for everyone else. If this happens again, I will give you a leg-locking curse, so that you all And jump back."

Aldridge clicked his tongue, looking very dissatisfied, but he still dared not speak angrily.

After this episode, the atmosphere has been tense.Yuqiang insisted on holding on to the twelve points of energy, and felt that he was almost suffocating.Aldridge's proposal was not passed in the end, and when the meeting was over, he gave Yoo and Rudolph a vicious look, shook his sleeves and left.Yoo slowly followed behind the two Hufflepuff prefects, and was stopped by the female prefect Greed as soon as he went out.

"Seven sea lanterns."

She saw this prefect who was always so pleasant gouging her with eyes she had never seen before, as if she was carrying some kind of infectious disease.

"People have often seen you haunting the Hufflepuff common room recently," Greed said quickly, "I warn you, don't make bad ideas, the set of 'friendly' tricks you made up and performed are only You can fool children."

She didn't wait for Yu to reply, she turned and left after speaking.

You stood there dumbfounded, his whole heart was clenched by the other party's undisguised disgust.

It wasn't for her, it was for Qihai Lantern, it was for Slytherin.

She knew Greed didn't like Slytherins.She knew a lot of people didn't like Slytherin.However, today she really understood how to write these three flimsy words-a person can be mobbed and attacked just because of the label on his body, and he can't be trusted; a person can also be attacked just because of a label. To unleash such cold and biting malice on others.

Rudolph patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't take it to heart, they always do this."

Yu didn't look at him, but looked at the empty corridor.

"Always been this way?"

"It's never changed." Rudolph put his hand into the pocket of his robe and replied leisurely.
