[HP] Liar

Ep.45

After the opening ceremony, Nancy and Luna walked back to the Ravenclaw girls' dormitory without saying a word, and Sophia accompanied them back to their room.During the whole process, the three of them were preoccupied with each other, but none of them took the initiative to speak to anyone.

It wasn't until the three of them entered the room that Nancy slammed the door firmly with a "bang", then turned to look at her two classmates and friends.

"This is crazy..." Nancy said with a trembling voice, "Did you see that they... actually tortured that poor guy with the Cruciatus Curse! You know, people who used the Cruciatus Curse in the past, They're all going to be locked up in Azkaban."

"What's even more frightening is that the Carlo brothers and sisters used to be two Death Eaters." Sophia continued after hearing this, "I simply can't imagine how dark the future will be."

"Oh." At this time, Luna inserted into their topic as if awakened from a dream, "There is nothing to worry about, Sophia, because our new principal is also a Death Eater."

silence.

After Luna finished speaking, only silence greeted her.

After a long time, Nancy interrupted the dead atmosphere with some helplessness: "Just now the Carroll brothers and sisters told us that they will check the family backgrounds of Hogwarts students one by one. What does this mean? All the troubles Haven’t all the wizards from the Gua family been expelled from the school?”

The reason why Nancy asked this question was actually her own worries.Although she is pure blood, her parents are Aurors.More precisely, she was born into an Auror family.

Nancy used to be proud of this status, but now, no one can tell whether the Carlos will hurt her because of this.

She was terrified.

"I'm really worried too," Sophia sat on the empty bed that originally belonged to Viola Clearwater, "Unlike you two, my blood is mixed... look at that poor poor girl tonight. Hufflepuff! I don't think I'll be able to get a good night's sleep from today on."

After speaking, Nancy and Sophia looked at Luna Lovegood in unison.

As we all know, Luna Lovegood's blood is also pure blood, but in the eyes of her classmates, she has always been a close friend of Harry Potter, who is now wanted by the Ministry of Magic.Not only that, in the past, many people even suspected that there had been some ulterior secret relationship between the two of them.

Therefore, in the eyes of Nancy and Sophia, the most dangerous person among the three of them at this moment is still the "crazy girl" Luna Lovegood.

Nancy was really curious about how Luna viewed this matter.

However, neither Nancy nor Sophia expected that under their interrogating gaze, Luna suddenly changed the subject.

She stretched out her hand and spread the suitcase in her hand on the ground. Immediately afterwards, Nancy saw the suitcase on the ground start to vibrate by itself, and the lid was suddenly opened.If it weren't for the fear of being punished by the Carlo brothers and sisters, Nancy might have screamed on the spot.

"Viola! Why are you here!"

When Viola finally climbed out of the suitcase, Sophia immediately rushed forward before she could speak, and tried to close the lid of the suitcase again with her hands.

"Wait a minute, Sophia, let me explain!"

After staying in the musty basement for a whole day, Viola barely ate anything, so when she "confronted" Sophia head-on, her strength in her hands was completely at a disadvantage.

"Wait, Sophia, open the trunk lid." Seeing this, Nancy couldn't help frowning, and after thinking for a moment, she decided to persuade her, "Listen to Viola's own explanation."

Now that Nancy had said so, Sophia had no choice but to let go of her hands reluctantly, and at the same time took a step back, her face full of displeasure.

"Huh." Viola was able to take a good breath of fresh air, she staggered out of the suitcase, and then smoothed the wrinkled robe on her body, "It's really not easy. "

Nancy stared at her coldly: "You owe us an explanation, Viola."

Viola sighed lightly, and then recounted the general process of the matter in the most concise language.

"Nancy, your parents are both members of the Ministry of Magic," Viola couldn't help swallowing nervously when she said this, "You should know that if someone like Penello returns The Ministry of Magic...what kind of 'punishment' will they face?"

After knowing the ins and outs of the matter, the expression on Nancy's face suddenly became a little unbearable.If she had a choice, she really didn't want to say that cruel fact herself, but Viola's eyes that were as hot as green flames on her face did not allow her to escape from this matter.

"Mum and Dad told me..." she said slowly, "that Umbridge intends to drive all Muggle-born wizards out of the Ministry of Magic."

"What does this mean? Is it to dismiss them collectively?"

"No, it's not that simple." Nancy explained bitterly, "Although I don't know exactly what they did, but from what my parents said, I can roughly understand the fact that all Muggles The members of the lineage disappeared after Umbridge's interrogation. No one knew where they went, and Dad said they probably... probably just died. So many of them were actually Members from Muggle families, when they knew they were going to be interrogated, would do everything possible to falsify the documents - to make themselves have a slight connection with the pure-blood family, even if it was a trivial connection... because Only in this way can they escape the end of disappearing from the world."

After listening to Nancy's words, no matter how hard Viola tried, she couldn't calm herself down.

"There must be something else!" She stubbornly refuted Nancy's words, "Penello is Percy's girlfriend, and Percy is a pureblood, maybe he can help her! All in all, Penello is definitely won't die!"

"I know it's hard to accept, Viola." Facing Viola's pain and despair, Nancy could only answer weakly, "But Percy Weasley didn't marry your sister , then from a legal perspective, the two of them are strangers who have nothing to do with each other.”

"Even if... even if Umbridge wanted to make the Muggle members disappear, she wouldn't necessarily kill them, would she? How would she have the right to do so?"

"The current Ministry of Magic is no longer the former Ministry of Magic. The real owner of the Ministry of Magic is the Mysterious Man—the Mysterious Man himself is so cruel and heartless. How can the Ministry of Magic under his control be any better?"

"No, I won't give up..." Even though Nancy's words had already passed the verdict on Viola, Viola was still unwilling to accept the cruel "fact" in Nancy's mouth.

She sat down on the ground in fear, hugged her knees with her hands, and tried her best not to let the moist and humiliating liquid in her eyes flow down at this moment.

"All in all, the most important thing right now is that you must leave Hogwarts." Nancy's ethereal voice came from above Viola's head, "Hogwarts has now become a place where Death Eaters gather. If they discover your existence, they will definitely lock you up immediately. More importantly, your existence is very likely to drag me, Sophia, and Lovegood."

"Yes." Sophia also nodded slightly, echoing Nancy's words, "Tonight, one poor Hufflepuff was already tortured by the Carlo brothers and sisters with the Cruciatus Curse."

"And this will certainly not be the last time they do this." Nancy pointed out, "You are not a child, Viola, you must realize the seriousness of this matter."

Viola stretched out her hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the sleeve of her robe.Then she raised her head, looked into Nancy's eyes, and said to her in a firm tone, "I want to try one last time, Nancy."

"Viola, you are too stubborn!"

"I want to ask Professor McGonagall for help."

Viola ignored Nancy's angry gaze, but said to herself, "Penello is my own sister, I can't just let her be in danger alone, just thinking about running for her own life. But You don't have to worry too much. I know the situation is serious, so I will find Professor McGonagall as soon as possible and ask her for help. After that, I will use Luna's suitcase to go back to the basement of Luna's home. As long as The three of us keep this secret firmly, and the Carlo brothers and sisters or other Death Eaters will definitely not know of my existence."

"It's too dangerous!" After hearing Viola's plan, Nancy still held an opposing attitude at the moment, "How are you going to find Professor McGonagall? As soon as you walk out of the door of this dormitory, you will be exposed immediately In everyone's sight!"

"There are so many students in Hogwarts, not to mention that my hair color is still a very common brown." Viola blinked at Nancy, and patted herself on the shoulder with great confidence, " My appearance is not conspicuous, and I have never been a famous person in the past five years. I believe that if I keep my head down, no one will notice my existence."
