[HP] Liar

Chap.29

As soon as the door was opened, Draco's somewhat haggard face came into view.

"Clivet, come out." Before Viola had time to ask Draco, he had already given her an order in a cold tone, "Stand by my side."

"W-what?"

Viola hadn't figured out the situation yet, but Draco obviously didn't have that patience. When she was still staring blankly into his eyes, at a loss, he stepped forward and grabbed Viola with his hand. Ola's collar gently dragged her out of the door of the Room of Requirement.

"Let go of me, what are you going to do, Malfoy?" Viola couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and after giving him a hard look, she snapped.

But Draco didn't seem to be deterred by her anger at all, and the expression on his face became more joyful and joking instead.Immediately afterwards, he lowered his head and looked at the expensive watch on his wrist. After the hands had passed for 5 minutes, he nodded slightly, and brought Viola back to the Room of Requirement once again on his own initiative.

After entering the house, Draco quickly noticed that this Ravenclaw wizard was looking at himself with the eyes of a troll.

"What are you looking at, Clearwater?" Draco couldn't help but frowned in disgust, "Shut up your first-year Hufflepuff eyes, you make me sick."

"You know, you look terrible, Malfoy." But Viola said to him intensified, "You look like... you haven't closed your eyes for days and nights."

Draco just bit his lower lip after hearing this, and didn't speak.

Seeing that Draco didn't intend to talk to her, Viola became more and more courageous, raised her tone and continued: "What are you doing here today, Malfoy? And, what happened just now? Why is there a spot on your forehead? Is it full of sweat? Is there some man-eating monster outside the Room of Requirement chasing you?"

Draco glanced at her coldly, noticing the Muggle novel in her hand, "I can ask you the same question, Clearwater. Why did you come here today?"

Viola stared at him and blinked somewhat speechlessly, not knowing how to answer this question.

Should she be telling the truth?Tell him that she came to see him because she was worried about him?

No, it would be foolish to say that.If Draco Malfoy had known, he would have sneered mercilessly about it.

"I was the one who asked you the question first, Malfoy!" So, she could only utter such a feeble rebuttal at the end, which actually made Draco feel better.

"Fine." He slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, looked into her green eyes and said, "Indeed, I did come here just now to avoid someone."

"Who is it?" Viola asked subconsciously.

"Your great 'savior'--Harry Potter. He has been following me for three whole months this semester." Draco snorted coldly, and frowned, as if saying Harry Potter As if his name would insult him, "Perhaps as one of the savior's 'ordinary friends', you can also tell him for me, thinking about how to secretly follow the whereabouts of a classmate in the same grade all day long...isn't being upright and brave what the savior of the world should do."

"You mean, Harry is following you?" After hearing Draco's words, Viola felt even more puzzled, "Why did Harry do this?"

"Who knows." Draco spat contemptuously, "You can't expect to understand Gryffindor with normal thinking, Clearwater."

Although Viola didn't like Draco Malfoy's condescending tone when he mentioned Harry and Gryffindor, she also didn't want to believe that Harry was really "stalking" Draco.Why did Harry have to do this?He was so kind, so upright, and so brave, that sneaky things like stalking people didn't look like something he would do.

But... But Viola suddenly remembered the first time she ran into Harry in the corridor at night.

At that time, she was walking back from the Room of Requirement to the Ravenclaw Tower, and at that time, because she was secretly meeting Malfoy here without telling everyone, she was acting like a sneaky dog. Thief.

And what about Harry?His state at that time was almost the same as his own.

"I told the truth, and you better tell me the truth."

While Viola stood there silently, Draco took out his wand from the pocket of his robe, gently pressed it against her forehead, and said in a cold tone.

But Viola could feel that he had no malice towards her.

"...I came here because I was worried about you." But in the end, Viola blushed and said the truth with difficulty, "The last time I ran into you at the Christmas ball... I think your state Something was wrong. And after that, I never saw you in school again. I... I did worry about you, but I didn't know how to contact you, so I came here to try my luck -"

She was only halfway through, but the whirlpool of shame in her heart could no longer allow her to continue.

Viola thought, even if Draco Malfoy was a fool, he couldn't fail to understand the deep meaning behind her words.What's more, he is still so popular in Slytherin house...

He must be able to tell that she actually liked him.

It is extremely rare that this time Draco did not open his mouth to mock Viola after hearing Viola's speech, but just sat silently on a soft leather sofa in the corner of the room, and at the same time turned his head away, his silver-gray eyes no longer Look at Viola.

Viola felt inexplicably relieved.If Draco were to give her an answer, what would he say?What else could he say?Probably just tell her that it is best for a person of her background not to have unrealistic fantasies about him, and he will never fall in love with her.

Suppressing the soreness in her heart, Viola took the book in her hand, deliberately found a seat farthest from Draco and sat down, and then forced herself to lower her head, focusing all her attention on the novel in her hand .

It's a pity that Draco's existence made her feel irritated, and she didn't read a single word of the novel.

"What are you looking at?"

I don't know how long this stalemate lasted, Draco's voice suddenly came from behind Viola, and Viola turned around in surprise, only to see Draco curiously looking at the book in her hand, and using The finger pointed in the direction it was located.

"You're asking about this novel?" Viola felt unsure, but said anyway, "This is a Christmas present from my sister."

"Your sister?"

"Yes. Her name is Penelope Clearwater, and she used to be Head of the Girls' Society at Hogwarts. She is excellent."

"I don't remember." Draco snorted softly.

Viola was still unwilling to give up. "You must know her, you just don't remember her name," she said. "She was in the same class as Percy Weasley, and they were both presidents of the student union back then."

Only then did Draco give a meaningful "Oh", and the look of contempt on his face became more obvious. "I see." He said with some disgust, "She used to be that Weasley's girlfriend, right? If so, I'm really worried about your sister's eyes."

Viola said nothing.

"You're not much better." He then sarcastically said, "Ernie McMillan? Yes, he is also a pure-blood like Weasley, and his family is a little bit better than that Weasley. But He's only a Hufflepuff, but that's more than enough if it's your date, Clearwater—"

"Why do you say that?!" Viola was once again irritated by his words, "Ernie is just my friend, and I don't think he is inferior to you because he studied in Hufflepuff. I said, if I had known the Sorting Hat would have thrown me into Ravenclaw, I would have preferred to study in Hufflepuff—"

"So you can fall in love with McMillan, can't you?"

"No, don't get confused, Malfoy." Viola retorted loudly, "I only want to go to Hufflepuff because I think I don't fit in with the other Ravenclaws. It has nothing to do with Ernie. Yes...Although I don't know Percy Weasley, I believe my sister's eyes on people. She is excellent, she is the best person I have ever met since I was born!"
