[HP] Liar

Chap.30

Now Viola felt that she was the most ridiculous fool in the world.How could she have naively thought that Draco Malfoy might need her care and comfort just three ten minutes ago?

Nancy was right, he was good looking, but he was a nasty racist.Viola understood these truths in her heart, but it was also because she understood that she felt ashamed of the absurd feelings in her heart.

She had quietly laughed at Nancy's feelings for Harry before, but now?She thinks that she is not even comparable to Nancy, who was carefree and superficial, at least she will understand that she will never like someone who looks down on her.

At the same time, Viola's sudden silence made Draco feel a little uneasy.To be honest, this Ravenclaw girl's temper can't be called hot, and she can't even be called lively and restless. To be precise, her character actually has some weaknesses.

But besides weakness and cowardice, Draco also saw something else in her,

She is very kind, too kind to be too kind, too kind to be ridiculous.

Perhaps in order to ease the atmosphere, Draco did not mention anything about Ernie to Viola, but instead asked in a low voice: "The dress you wore at the last Christmas ball It's ugly enough."

"Really?" Viola's tone was obviously a little unconfident, "But I think that is already a dress that best complements my complexion."

"Why don't you wear the one I gave you," Draco couldn't help interjecting when he heard this, "—the blue dress I left you, it's better than the one you wore at the ball." That dishcloth you're wearing looks much better."

Then, Draco saw the brunette sitting in the other corner look up in disbelief, with an exaggerated expression on her face as if what he had just told was a hilarious joke.

"You're not mistaken, Malfoy?" Viola asked in a suspicious tone, "How could you think... How could you think that I would be willing to wear the dress you originally planned to give Parkinson to the ball?"

Parkinson?

Draco frowned in confusion at first, but soon remembered something, and couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.

Oh... yes, that's what he seemed to say to Viola Clearwater at first.He said that this skirt was originally a gift he intended to give Pansy, but unfortunately Pansy couldn't wear it, so he reluctantly threw it to Clearwater.

But, Merlin, I believe even those idiots in Gryffindor can tell such a clumsy lie.And Viola Clearwater, who was born in Ravenclaw, really took it seriously?

Merlin's beard, great Salazar, the Sorting Hat must have dozed off while sorting the poor girl!

"Forget it." In the end, Draco decided to end the boring topic without authorization, "Speaking of which, what is that book in your hand?"

He pointed to "The Moon and Sixpence" in Viola's hand.

"As I said, it was a Christmas present from my sister."

Draco hooked his fingers at her.

"Show me," he said.

"It won't interest you," said Viola hesitantly. "It's a Muggle novel."

"Of course I know it's a novel written by Muggles," Draco said impatiently, "You don't need to remind me, thank you, Clearwater."

Seeing that Draco was so resolute, Viola could only sigh softly, and obediently walked forward, handing the "Moon and Sixpence" into Draco's hands.

"I like this book very much," said Viola suddenly, "so, well, I wish you would turn the pages more lightly."

Draco glared at her angrily, "Got it."

After the only fun was taken away by Malfoy unreasonably, Viola could only sit in front of Malfoy bored, lowered her head and began to play with her curls.

She suddenly thought of Penelope, which in fact she would do whenever she was free.

Unlike Viola's long straight brown hair, Penello has beautiful curly hair. Her hair color is not golden brown like Viola's, but a dark brown that is closer to pure black.When she was a child, Viola was always envious of her sister's curly hair, and she liked to yell from time to time. When she grew up, she would go to the barber shop to perm her curly hair similar to Penello's.

Penelope was beautiful and popular with friends and family, both at home and at Hogwarts.She is the pride of her parents and teachers, a role model for her classmates, and a goal that I have been chasing all my life but can never catch up with.

Viola couldn't help thinking, if Penello knew about her friendship with Malfoy, what kind of evaluation would she make?

Penelope's beautiful face and her pair of calm sea blue eyes couldn't stop appearing in her mind.

She might tell herself: Draco Malfoy is not the same as you, dear, you should cut off all contact with him as soon as possible.

But she might say again: Don't let other people's evaluations cloud your own judgment, Euler.If you think he is sincere, trust your instincts.

"Clivet." At this moment, Draco suddenly closed the book with a "bang", and said to her coldly, "This novel is so ugly, you can actually read it with such relish."

"Ugly?" Viola opened her mouth in surprise, "How is it possible?"

"Yes, it's extremely ugly." Draco said affirmatively, "and I don't agree with the three views given by the protagonist. Abandoning your family and children in the name of your dream, and having affairs everywhere, this is what you Muggles say Is it the mainstream idea you promote? It’s terrible, and it seems that the wizarding world’s discrimination against you is not without reason.”

After hearing what Draco said, Viola was momentarily at a loss for words.

Well, there was a similar plot in that novel, but she always thought that was not the point.

"But this novel does not promote... cheating." Viola retorted weakly, "It tells a story about a man who once abandoned his dream, but one day he suddenly regained his dream and followed it firmly. And In the process of chasing dreams, people always have to pay something, don't they?"

"Dream?" Draco snorted disapprovingly, "That's just an excuse for cowards to avoid responsibility."

Viola admitted that she didn't like Draco's tone at this moment, but she could more or less understand his indignation.Indeed, the protagonist in this novel did a lot of things that hurt others, even himself, for the sake of ideals.Such as abandoning wives and children, such as snatching a friend's lover and betraying the trust of a friend.These things he did also made Viola feel disgusted and disgusted, but apart from that, the fanaticism and purity he showed in pursuing his dreams made Viola extremely envious and admired.

Few people can achieve such a level for their dreams, most people can't, and she can't either.

"Haven't you ever dreamed, Malfoy?"

"My dream?" Draco raised his eyebrows. "When I was a child, I used to imagine that expelling all mudbloods from the wizarding world counts?"

Viola couldn't help rolling her eyes at him, and said, "Your 'dream' is really not noble at all."

Speaking of this, she paused: "I think dreams should be things that make you feel happy and motivated. Like Granger, I think her dream is to be able to keep learning, and when she thinks about it, she can Read books tirelessly. Some people, their dream is to be able to stand out, as long as they think of this, no matter how heavy the daily study tasks are, they will not give up. "

"As for the protagonist of this novel, his dream is to be able to paint the greatest painting in the world." Viola continued to say to herself, "For this, he would rather abandon everything he already has. Because the painting Painting is the whole of his life, and life without painting is meaningless to him. He was born for painting, and eventually died for painting. The strange thing is that in this respect, I can understand and Agree with his ideas..."

Nancy and Luna were already going to bed when Viola returned to the Ravenclaw girls' dormitory.

"Good night, Viola." Luna yawned with difficulty as soon as she saw Viola, "I wish you sweet dreams."

"You too, Luna." Viola smiled and nodded towards her.

Afterwards, Viola did not go to bed like Luna and Nancy, but came to her suitcase and began to rummage through it.After a lot of tossing, she finally took out a small bottle at the bottom of the suitcase, which said - melatonin (1).

Viola looked at it with satisfaction and nodded, took out several pills from it, wrapped them in a paper bag, and wrote on another attached note with a pen:

To Mr. Draco Malfoy,

These Pills Can Improve Your Sleep,

Hope they can be helpful for you.

After seeing Malfoy, Viola's mood became a lot clearer tonight, but she also realized one thing—that is, Malfoy's recent schedule must be extremely disordered, and she sincerely hopes that he Can improve your sleep quality.

Just as Viola was about to put the paper bag into her schoolbag, Nancy's faint voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Well, did you have a good date?"

Viola immediately turned her head vigilantly, with a guilty expression on her face: "I didn't go on a date, Nancy."

But Nancy obviously didn't believe her words. After stretching lazily, curiosity and scrutiny appeared in her blue eyes, and she slowly looked up and down at Wei Ao standing next to the suitcase. pull.

"Oh, come on, Viola." Nancy waved her hand casually, "It's not the first day I know you, you know, we've been roommates for five years."

After finishing speaking, she ignored Viola's reaction, but got into bed without saying a word, and turned off the chandelier that illuminated the bedroom.
