[HP] Liar

Chap.20

Harry Potter knew he was doing something ridiculous.

Although Ron and Hermione have persuaded him countless times-his worries about Draco Malfoy are just groundless, no matter how much the mysterious man is eager to recruit his followers, it is impossible to let a 16 The young boy joined the Death Eaters.

Hermione also said that although Malfoy's usual behavior is a bit bad, but with his bullying character, he absolutely does not have the guts to make himself a real Death Eater.

Harry knew there was some truth to Hermione's words - his friend had always been bright and rational.But he was still worried about Draco Malfoy in his heart.

So, when he didn't know how many times he sneaked out of the common room and followed Malfoy in the name of going for a walk, even he couldn't help feeling that he was out of his head.

But he is still worried, isn't he?

If he didn't, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight either.

Before he knew it, Harry had passed by the door of the Potions classroom for the fifth time.

Slytherin's dormitory was located in the cellar, and the Potions classroom was also located underground. If Malfoy really wanted to come out of the Slytherin dormitory, he would definitely pass the Potions classroom.

But Harry never saw Malfoy tonight.

Harry couldn't help sighing softly, guessing - maybe Malfoy had left the common room before he arrived?If that was the case, then no matter how long he waited here, he was unlikely to see Malfoy come out of the Slytherin lounge door.

Thinking of this, Harry couldn't help sighing softly, it seemed that his efforts tonight were wasted again.

On the way back, Harry kept thinking about a question - did he really have to follow Malfoy so sneakily?Although Harry never thought of himself as a complete gentleman, compared to Draco Malfoy, he always thought he was on the side of justice.

But now, why did Harry feel that he was more like that treacherous villain with evil intentions?

Just as Harry was lingering and hesitating in front of the Gryffindor tower, a slender late night man wearing the same black robe as him suddenly came out of the darkness gradually. Harry, who realized what was happening, immediately raised his head vigilantly. Raised his wand.

However, after the light in the corridor shone on the face of the visitor, Harry could see the appearance of that person clearly—it was a beautiful girl with brown hair and blue eyes. Thin and small, it's just that her shadow was elongated by the light just now.

Inexplicably, Harry felt that she looked familiar, and he blinked in bewilderment.

"Harry?" Viola was the first to speak to break the silence. Her expression looked a little shocked, but at the same time she seemed a little undecided, "Is it you? You shocked me."

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled wryly, "You surprised me just now, Viola."

Viola bent her mouth in embarrassment, but didn't answer immediately.

"By the way, why did you appear here at this time?" Harry seemed to remember something, and then asked, "Isn't Ravenclaw's tower... in another direction?"

For some reason, Harry felt—after hearing his own question, Viola's expression immediately became flustered. Harry, who noticed the strangeness, couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly, and began to carefully He looked at Viola's light green eyes.

"...I, I just ate too much dinner, so I went out for a walk." After a moment of silence, Viola stammered, "What about you, Harry? Why did you leave the public rest at this time?" How about coming out of the room?"

Harry was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and started to feel uneasy just like Viola a few minutes ago.

"Well—I also ate too much dinner, so I went out for a walk." Harry bit the bullet and told a lie, although he felt that Viola would definitely not believe his nonsense, "Tonight's roast chicken is really good. Delicious, don't you think?"

Viola exaggeratedly showed a look of sudden realization, then nodded, and replied: "Indeed."

Afterwards, the two casually exchanged a few words, and then returned to the common room of their respective colleges.After saying goodbye to Viola, the uneasiness in Harry's heart began to grow stronger.It seems that he is not the only one in this school who has troubles and secrets that others cannot solve together, Harry thought silently in his heart.

Although the potions class this semester did not make Viola feel trembling like in previous years, it was precisely because of this that the Defense Against the Dark Arts class replaced the potions class and became Viola's new nightmare.

This class was held with Ravenclaw and Hufflepuffs. Professor Snape used to dislike Hufflepuff students for being too dull. As for the Ravenclaw students?Although he wouldn't be able to scold them all day long like he did to Hufflepuff, but for certain Ravenclaws who were too rigid and unflexible, Professor Snape actually didn't like them very much.

And after this class ended, Viola guessed that the image of Ravenclaw College in Professor Snape's mind probably dropped a bit.

The teaching content of this lesson is to let the students learn to master some defensive spells, such as the Iron Armor Charm.At the beginning, Professor Snape also wanted to let Hufflepuff's classmates and Ravenclaw's classmates face off separately, so as to achieve the purpose of practice.

But after 5 minutes of embarrassment where everyone stood still, Professor Snape finally understood what was going on, looked at them coldly, and said to them in an extremely cold voice: "I think I was right from the beginning. Your ridiculous expectations are a huge mistake, how can I pray that Hufflepuff students will willingly take out their wands and say spells? As for those Ravenclaws, I think your head will definitely I am extremely 'proud' of your cowardice."

In the end, Professor Snape ordered all the students in the class to write a paper related to defensive spells within one class, and they had to line up to hand it to him at the end of get out of class.

Because this is a class assignment, Viola can't "learn" Nancy's paper this time, which makes her feel very confused.

When queuing up to submit papers, Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws lined up neatly in two lines, but due to the large number of people, until the get out of class bell rang again, Viola failed to make it The paper in his hand was handed over to Professor Snape.

While Viola was waiting in the classroom with other students who hadn't submitted their thesis, a few Slytherin students suddenly came to their dean's classroom, and at the same time, there was a hint of sarcasm He looked around at the students in the classroom.

Viola soon discovers that among them is the Slytherin prefect, Draco Malfoy.

She could not help lowering her head guiltily.

Thanks to Merlin, Viola finally came before Professor Snape after fifteen minutes.At this moment, she didn't have the guts to look up at Professor Snape's cold eyes that could kill people. After all, she was quite self-aware of her own strength. She thought——Professor Snape had finished reading her thesis. Finally, it would have been very kind if she hadn't cast a curse on her in front of everyone.

Draco Malfoy was looking at Viola with his head held high with an air of arrogance, and Blaise, who was standing behind him, also looked interested.

With trembling slender arms, Viola swallowed nervously. After taking a deep breath, she slowly unfolded the paper in her hand and placed it in front of Professor Snape.

Professor Snape couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw the title of the thesis, you know, in his class - this is not a common situation.

"How to avoid using defensive spells in a dangerous situation?" At this moment, Malfoy's sharp and piercing voice came from above Viola's head, "It's really eye-opening, Clearwater. Don't you Do you know that this class is called 'Defense Against the Dark Arts'? Or is it because you Muggles don't know how to use magic at all. That's why you put the words 'running' in your paper?"

The Slytherin boys standing behind him couldn't help laughing after hearing this. Viola hung her head tightly, her cheeks flushed, but she still whispered unwillingly. He retorted: "But we really didn't learn anything in this class. In this case, what else can we do besides escape?"

After Malfoy heard this, he was about to continue his sarcasm, but before he could do so—Professor Snape stopped him with his eyes.

"Ingenious sophistry, Miss Clearwater." Snape sneered. "So—you think I'm the root cause of your inability to write your thesis, don't you?"

Viola's forehead couldn't stop the cold sweat oozing out.

"No... no, that's not what I meant, Professor."

"You should really look at her textbook, Professor Snape." Malfoy interjected bitterly at this moment. "I think the notes in Clearwater's textbook will be more exciting than her paper."

Realizing something, Viola couldn't help but raised her head and gave Malfoy a look, but Malfoy also stared at her without fear.Of course she knew what Malfoy was planning. If Professor Snape really saw what was in her textbook, she didn't think she would have to step into the door of Defense Against the Dark Arts class from today on.

While Viola was not paying attention, Nancy standing behind her gave her and Malfoy a weird look, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the textbook in Viola's hand, smashing it On the desk in front of Snape.

Viola was also shocked and annoyed and turned her head to look at her.

Malfoy and the Slytherins around him impatiently opened Viola's textbook, and the next second, as Viola didn't expect, there was a burst of thunderous laughter.

Viola really wished that there would be a hole in the ground for her to go in at this time.

"Can you explain what those very didactic drawings in your textbook symbolize, Miss Clearwater?"

"I was wrong, sir. That's all... that's all I used to draw in Professor Umbridge's class. But now I've really changed my mind, and I never really did in your class. I haven’t done anything as unprofessional as before.”

Although Viola tried her best to behave obediently and sincerely in front of Professor Snape.But it seemed that Professor Snape obviously did not accept Viola's explanation.

Because after listening to these words, he still did not hesitate to punish Viola to write a review paper that was four times longer than the paper in class.

The author has something to say: A hp heroine who has not been scolded by Professor Snape is not a complete hp heroine (?)
