[HP] Liar

Ep.46

"Nancy, wait for me." Just as Nancy was staring at her toes sullenly, carrying her schoolbag and walking forward without saying a word, Sophia's voice suddenly came from behind her.However, Nancy, who always likes to hang out with her friends, didn't look back this time.

"There is Defense Against the Dark Arts class again this afternoon, it's too bad." After Sophia followed Nancy's footsteps, she complained almost subconsciously, "If I could, I would really rather sacrifice my life, Just in exchange for the chance to let those two Carlo professors leave the school..."

"Hush!" Unexpectedly, before Sophia finished speaking, Nancy immediately interrupted worriedly, "Keep your voice down, it will be terrible if others hear you."

Sophia hurriedly stopped talking.

Nancy hasn't had a good night's sleep since the first week of school.The arrival of the new Death Eater "Professors" made her feel uneasy, and the presence of squirrel friend Viola Clearwater added to her fear.

Although everyone in the dormitory agreed that Viola's reckless behavior was very dangerous, it seemed that except Nancy herself, no one really planned to drive Viola out of the dormitory.

"As long as we don't say anything, Viola is safe, isn't it?" Luna Lovegood's proposal always seemed so unreliable.

"Don't worry too much, Nancy. When I see Professor McGonagall, I will leave Hogwarts as quickly as possible, I assure you. I will not drag you down... because you They are all important to me and you are my most important friends at school."

—and Viola Clearwater's own point of view, Nancy also disagreed.

Even Sophia Harris, usually the person who understands Nancy best, thinks she's a little neurotic this time around.

Thinking of this, Nancy couldn't help but let out a long and heavy sigh.

Obviously, none of them realized the seriousness of this matter; but as the daughter of an Auror, Nancy knew it well, even more clearly and thoroughly than anyone else.In the eyes of the Death Eaters, Muggle-born wizards cannot even be called "human beings", and even house elves from many pure-blood families have a higher status than these poor hemp-born wizards much.

What if, she meant if—what if Viola was actually found by the Death Eaters at the school?Could she really survive the clutches of the Death Eaters?As for them, as the "accomplices" who protected her, what kind of punishment would they suffer?

These days, Viola stayed alone in the Ravenclaw girls' dormitory, and she didn't find a chance to sneak out alone.

During the day, her friends all need to take sixth-grade electives early, and due to the curriculum changes this semester, they usually don't return to their dorms until after dinner in the auditorium at night.

And Luna will work hard to get her a "lunch break" opportunity and secretly bring her lunch for the day.As for dinner?This mostly depends on her luck that day - after all, it's not every day that the Great Hall of Hogwarts can produce delicious leftovers.

……

"Professor McGonagall's transfiguration classes are mostly arranged in the morning, that is to say, you can go to Professor McGonagall when we have Defense Against the Dark Arts class with Professor Carlo."

"However, besides the Carrow brothers and sisters, there is also Professor Snape."

"Don't worry." After hearing Viola's worries, Luna said with a faint smile, "Professor Snape won't just hang around in the corridor all day long."

Viola thought for a moment, and finally she could only smile bitterly: "That's true."

Professor Snape was not such a lively person in the past, even if he now has the additional identity of a Death Eater, this point may not be easily changed.

So the next morning, when Luna and Nancy were going to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Viola also got up early, and once again put on Ravenclaw school robes for herself after a long absence.

She went to the mirror and carefully smoothed the folds of the black robe, trying to make it look less abnormal.Then he put his hair on both sides of his cheeks to cover most of his face.At this moment, looking at herself in the mirror, for the first time in her life, Viola felt grateful for her mediocre appearance-after all, if she had a head of eye-catching and dazzling long hair like Nancy or Luna If so, things might not be so easy to handle.

After tidying up her appearance, Viola stood in front of the mirror and hesitated for a moment whether to put on the hood of her robe, but in the end she chose to give up.

Because doing so obviously has some meaning to cover up.

After leaving the dormitory, Viola quickly discovered one thing—that is, the atmosphere at Hogwarts has obviously become much more depressing than before.

If Viola remembered correctly, the corridors of Hogwarts in the past were always filled with noisy discussions or high-pitched laughter.But now, apart from the heavy footsteps of the students, there was no other sound echoing in the long corridor.

She lowered her head according to the plan, and walked towards the direction of Professor McGonagall's office as fast as she could from memory, but unexpectedly, at this moment, a familiar tall black figure flashed past her.

Damn!

It was Pansy Parkinson and her friend Daphne Greengrass.

Viola secretly complained about the bad luck in her heart, while quickly running to a dark corner on the right side of the corridor, and hid herself in it.

"It's strange, Daphne..." Viola heard Parkinson's shrill voice from the left, and she held her breath, "When that Ravenclaw saw us just now, why did he act in a panic? "

"Ravenclaw?" Greenglass' voice sounded confused.

"Maybe not Ravenclaw, but definitely not Slytherin." Parkinson said, "For some reason, I just feel that figure looks familiar."

Greenglass was silent for a moment after hearing this.

"You must be so tired, Pansy!"

However, fortunately for Viola, the blond girl quickly changed the subject, which even made Viola start to believe that "the blond girl is just stupid than girls with other hair colors" The rumors may really have a scientific basis.

"How can there be any Ravenclaw, I just didn't see anyone."

"But--"

"Besides, we are all Slytherins, so how do we know Ravenclaw?"

The air between Parkinson and Greengrass seemed to freeze.

"Yes, of course we know each other." Finally, Parkinson said with some resentment, "Do you remember? The shameless mudblood who seduced Draco last semester, she belongs to Ravenclaw!"

But Greenglass reacted very quickly.

"That's right, I still remember her." Daphne snickered slightly contemptuously, "but what's the big deal about her? Just like you said, she's just a mudblood who doesn't know what to do, and I'm afraid she has escaped from England long ago." Or, he was already arrested by the mysterious man's subordinates. It's not worth it to be angry and troubled by such a person, is it?"

Pansy Parkinson was silent for a few seconds. "You're right. She really isn't worth anyone's trouble with her, because she doesn't."

Afterwards, Parkinson left the corridor under the persuasion of Greengrass, leaving Viola alone in the corner, her back pressed against the cold wall, her hands tightly covering her mouth, and even the atmosphere Dare not take a breath.

Merlin's colorful socks!Nancy had been right, she thought, in what she had said against her earlier—her plan to go look for it during the day had been abysmal.
