[HP] Liar

Ep.47

When Luna Lovegood and Nancy Jones pushed the door and entered, Viola Clearwater was lying flat on the bed, staring at the ceiling above her head in a daze.Viola had never paid attention to the ceiling in the dormitory before, and naturally she never discovered that on the sky-blue ceiling, there were actually written initials of the three girls in the dormitory.

LL&V.C&N.J.

The traces of these letters are not obvious, and the color is indigo blue slightly darker than the background of the ceiling. At first glance, if you don't observe carefully, it is difficult to find the mystery.It's no wonder that Viola lived in this dormitory for five full years, but she didn't find out about it until today.

"How? Did it work?"

However, before Viola lay on the bed and thought for a few seconds, Nancy hurried to her side and asked in a hasty tone: "Is your daytime plan going well today?"

Viola shook her head and replied truthfully: "No, I failed. And, I finally realized that you were right, Nancy—my previous idea was a terrible one."

Nancy didn't answer for a while, but bit her lower lip tightly.

Seeing that Nancy did not speak, Viola could only continue to explain on her own: "At that time of the day, although I would not meet those two Professor Carlos, I ignored one thing—that is, I There's a good chance I'll run into someone else who knows me."

"you mean?"

"It's fine if it's someone else, but if it's someone from Slytherin... things will get dire."

Only then did Nancy come to her senses, and she gave Viola a meaningful look with her deep blue eyes.

"I see what you mean, Viola," she sighed. "But it's your own fault, isn't it?"

Regarding this point, Viola did not refute anything.She suddenly thought of the past, and suddenly remembered that when she first met Draco Malfoy, Nancy once satirized her with sharp words.At that time, Viola was not sure what Nancy's real purpose was in doing this?Is he really thinking about her, or is it just out of blind jealousy.But today, at this moment, she doesn't care about these anymore.

If Nancy wanted to blame or ridicule her, let her do so.

Fortunately, Nancy did not continue to express her views on this topic, but discussed the next action plan with her more seriously.

"You must hurry, Viola. We don't have much time left, and the longer you stay here, the more dangerous we will be."

"I understand." Viola nodded, and then asked, "You said earlier that Professor Carlo required a weekly assembly to check the progress of all students, right?"

"In name," Nancy snorted softly, "actually, they just wanted to find a reason to vent their anger and dissatisfaction."

"And this week's assembly will be this afternoon." At this time, Luna interrupted suddenly, "After four o'clock this afternoon, the entire Great Hall of Hogwarts belongs to the Carlo brothers and sisters."

After hearing this, Viola first rolled her eyes, thought for a moment in her heart, and finally made up her mind secretly.With a push of her feet, she stood firmly on the floor, then patted the dust on the robe with both hands, a stiff smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she looked at her two friends.

"Then this afternoon!" she announced in a resounding voice, "this afternoon, when the entire Hogwarts students and the two Professor Carlos are attending the assembly, I can secretly find McGonagall Professor without being discovered by others, no?"

In Nancy's view, Viola's plan was a bit too idealistic, but it was indeed the best solution under the circumstances.

"To be on the safe side, you'd better cast a confusion or transformation spell on yourself before you go out."

"why?"

"Change the color of your eyes and the shape of your face, even if you can't completely change your appearance...but at least it won't be so easy to be discovered."

Viola later adopted Nancy's proposal, but, considering her grades in Transfiguration, the last person to cast the spell was still Nancy Jones herself.

Nancy transformed Viola's long straight hair into tousled curls to her own aesthetic, and then changed her rare light green eyes to dark blue.

After the transformation, Viola stood in front of the mirror and blinked curiously, and couldn't help but sigh: "I look very much like Penello, who is a few years younger!" The unknown sister, her heart became sour again.

In fact, Nancy didn't remember what Penelope Clearwater looked like, and this so-called transformation spell could only last for half an hour.Her only wish now is that Viola Clearwater can complete her "task" and leave Hogwarts as quickly as possible.

She really didn't want to be dragged down by Viola.

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Nancy and Sophia came to the Great Hall of Hogwarts together.

Since such a "rally" began, Nancy could notice that her friend Sophia Harris would appear trembling at this time of the week.The reason is simple, not because Sophia's Defense Against the Dark Arts grades are inferior, but simply because she is one of the few mixed-race students left in the school.

Nancy and other Ravenclaw students stood at the long table belonging to their house, and directly opposite them was Slytherin, which had the largest number of students this year.As for the Gryffindor and Chippuff table?In this semester, it seems that it is obviously not as lively as in previous years.

"What's the content of today's question?" Nancy heard Sophia lower her voice and asked beside her.

"The Cruciatus Curse."

"Does Professor Caro want us to cast spells on others?"

"I'm afraid that's the case." Nancy felt helpless, "But we can try to pretend. Even if you can't cast the Cruciatus Curse, I can lie on the ground and pretend to be in pain. You don't have to worry too much..."

Only halfway through Nancy's words, the Carlo brothers and sisters came out from the front of the auditorium with dark faces.Seeing this, Nancy and Sophia immediately lowered their heads.

The Carrows were flanked by the Slytherin prefects, Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson.Malfoy still looked as pale and sickly as ever, but I don't know if it was Nancy's illusion, he seemed to have lost weight this term.

As for Pansy Parkinson?Her appearance has always been not much different from that of a troll in Nancy's mind.

When the students all came one after another, the male Carlo suddenly coughed heavily, and then Parkinson stuck to it like a flattering water snake, and took out a long roll from his pocket A long piece of parchment, and put it in Carlo's palm.

Many Gryffindors couldn't help but sighed and disgusted at this time.

"I heard a very ridiculous thing from the prefect of Slytherin today." Carlo said suddenly at this moment, "I heard that a Mudblood appeared in Hogwarts?"

Nancy was taken aback when she heard this, cold sweat was already dripping from the palms tightly clutching the corners of her clothes.

Calm, calm, calm... she told herself.Maybe Carlo was just testing the students' reactions, maybe Parkinson didn't recognize Viola at all.

"This really surprises me!" Carlo continued to spit, "Hogwarts doesn't welcome such filthy things anymore, if this mudblood is in the Great Hall now, then I advise you to behave yourself stand up, otherwise..."

"Otherwise so what?" Unexpectedly, a senior Gryffindor retorted without hesitation, "First of all, let's not say whether this is just a ridiculous excuse you made up to torture us. Even if This person is really standing here, how could he be so stupid as to stand up and die by himself?"

"Shut up!" Before Carlo could reply, Pansy Parkinson roared angrily, "Gryffindor who is not polite, even if you are a pure blood—"

Carlo, on the other hand, came to the Gryffindor without saying a word, and raised his wand mercilessly: "Crucio."

After all the students went to the auditorium, the corridors of Hogwarts seemed unprecedentedly deserted and eerie. When Viola walked in the corridors alone, she even felt a creepy atmosphere.

Why didn't she find out before——it turns out that Hogwarts is quite suitable for making ghost movies?

Viola soon came to the aisle leading to Professor McGonagall's office, saving the time of avoiding the students.Standing in front of the aisle, she took a deep breath, secretly glad that all this was finally coming to an end.

Penello, will be saved soon.

It's just that Viola probably never expected that she would run into a boy of her age at such a critical moment.After seeing the Slytherin crest on the man's chest, Viola felt that every drop of blood in her body stopped flowing due to great fear.She stood there in a daze, and lowered her head slightly to no avail. It looked like she was escaping from something, but it was more like waiting for the "death penalty".

……

"You," Theodore Nott of Slytherin House pointed at the Ravenclaw girl in front of him with his fingertips, and asked puzzledly, "what are you doing here? Don't you know that everyone is Are you going to the rally?"
