[HP] Liar

Chap.17

Viola hadn't seen Draco Malfoy at school since what had happened to Katie Bell in Hogsmeade.

In fact, it is not very accurate to say that, after all, they are not in the same college or grade, and they usually don't have many opportunities to see each other except eating together in the auditorium.And Harry seemed quite convinced that Draco had something to do with Bell's injury, even though both Hermione and Ron thought he was just being hypersensitive.

"Would Malfoy really do something like that?"

"I do not know."

Whenever Nancy asked such questions pointedly by her side, Viola could only lower her head and answer ambiguously.In fact, if you had to ask her opinion on the matter - she still didn't quite agree with Harry Potter.Because Malfoy had indeed been with her that afternoon, and the only thing he could do at the time was, like himself, begrudgingly transcribe papers under Professor McGonagall's nose.

but……

But was she really reluctant to agree with Harry because she thought Malfoy had a perfect alibi?

Viola found herself unable to answer the question.

She didn't want to admit it, but she had to admit that her feelings had indeed influenced her view on this matter.Although the events of Hogsmeade made a huge impression on the Hogwarts students that week, people tend to be forgetful.After a week, most students quickly put the matter behind them.And Viola, like most people in the school, although she would be concerned about this matter, she would only regard it as an after-dinner conversation, and would not let it affect her normal daily life.

Apart from--

Except that she couldn't help but glance over at the Slytherin table.

And today, Viola was the same as usual, after having breakfast in the auditorium, she hurried towards the Potions classroom with her textbooks in her arms.Professor Slughorn was not as strict as Professor Snape, so Viola liked him quite a bit.That's why she didn't want to be late for Potions class.

It's just that she didn't expect at the time that she would bump into a Slytherin who had been staring at her with strange eyes on the way to the classroom.

Viola noticed the strange look in the Slytherin's eyes the first time she saw him. At first, she thought—was it because she forgot to comb her hair when she got up today that the young Slytherin would He kept looking at her with such weird eyes.She couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart, but as a bitch wizard, she didn't have the courage to take the initiative to talk to that Slytherin.

Until the other party chose to come to her first.

"... Clearwater?" he asked in a low voice.

Viola was slightly taken aback, and looked up at his face in bewilderment.In all fairness, this Slytherin could be called handsome and handsome, and he had the temperament to attract girls' attention more than Malfoy.He has high cheekbones, tanned skin, and narrow, slightly slanted brown eyes.

After thinking about it for a while, Viola seemed to recall his name in her mind instantly - Blaise Zabini.

But after knowing the identity of the other party, Viola felt even more puzzled - she had heard that Zabini from Slytherin College was too conceited and a sharp character who used to be self-centered.Such a person doesn't even have many friends in Slytherin House, so how could he take the initiative to talk to a wizard of his origin?

"It seems that it's really you." Seeing the strange look on Viola's face, Zabini raised the corners of his mouth thoughtfully.

"Excuse me..." Viola tried her best to sound friendly, "Do you have anything to do, Mr. Zabini?"

"...Oh, I really don't have anything to say to you." Zabini said arrogantly, his tone sounded as if talking to Viola would make him lose value, "It's just—" He In the middle of speaking, there was a meaningful pause, and then he took out a crumpled note from the pocket of his robe, and stuffed it into Viola's hand.

"It's just that one of my friends may not think so."

After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Viola again, but chose to turn around and leave without hesitation, leaving Viola, who was confused, standing there blankly, watching his gradually receding back.

His... a friend?

who is it?

Could it be Malfoy?

Viola unfolded the note with a feeling of uneasiness, only to see that there was only a sentence written on it in gorgeous cursive characters——

Come to the Room of Requirement tonight.

DM

Viola realized who this note came from almost the moment she saw the signature.Who else?She knew only one person whose first name began with the letters D and M - and that was Draco Malfoy.

Thinking of this, Viola crumpled the note into a ball in a complicated mood, and did not give up until it was too broken and could not be broken any more.In the end, she just tossed it carelessly into the wide pocket of her robe.After completing this series of actions, she continued towards the direction of the Potions classroom.

Why would Malfoy want to see her?

What did he want to do after meeting her?

No... how could she be sure that the person who wrote this note was really Draco Malfoy himself?

At this moment, Luna's eyes with blurred and sad emotions flashed in Viola's mind.In fact, Luna and Harry's suspicions were not unreasonable. Even if Malfoy really wanted to see her, who could guarantee that Malfoy would not hurt her?Her mind was filled with all kinds of questions about Draco Malfoy, and Viola didn't listen to any words of Professor Slughorn in this Potions class.

That night, after dinner, most of Viola's classmates chose to stay in the common room or the library for self-study, only Viola had a very hesitant expression on her face.Reason told her that she shouldn't be seeing Malfoy, especially since something terrible had happened to Katie Bell not long ago.Even if she asks Nancy or Luna for advice, Viola can guarantee that her two friends will definitely choose to oppose it.

But... Viola bit her lower lip with difficulty.

If she didn't meet Malfoy before tonight, she might never know what Malfoy wanted to do to her.

But then again, Viola couldn't help asking herself—is Malfoy's thoughts really that important to her?In this way, Viola spent this long night completely in torment and hesitation.

She didn't leave the Ravenclaw common room after all.
