[HP] Liar

Ep.53

"Come out, he's gone now."

When Draco took the initiative to reach out and pull open the wooden door of the closet, Viola was still timidly curled up in the corner of the closet, the fear in her eyes still hadn't completely dissipated.

"What are you going to do in the future?" She looked at Draco's face and asked, "After Carlo entrusts you with this task, if you can't make him fulfill his wish...he will definitely find a way to make things difficult for you."

"You should worry about yourself," Draco said nonchalantly after hearing this, "Even if I failed to complete the task assigned to me by the Dark Lord, no matter what, I still A Malfoy. As long as my father is alive, and as long as our family is of use to the Dark Lord, a Death Eater like Carrow won't be too hard on me."

And Viola just watched Draco quietly while he was muttering to himself.

She was a little surprised - surprised and surprised that Draco was now so open about what happened at the end of last term.However, this does not mean that she has completely forgiven everything he did before.

"And you," Draco then turned his head, and his eyes fell on Viola's face, "Now you are not only on the most wanted list of the Ministry of Magic, but also remembered by the Carlo brothers and sisters .Compared to me, your situation is obviously more dangerous, Clearwater."

Viola lowered her eyelashes slightly: "Actually, when I made up my mind to come to Hogwarts to ask Professor McGonagall for help, I was already prepared that I would not be able to go back alive."

Draco was taken aback for a moment, a bit of bewilderment flashed across his pale face.

"I sometimes wonder," she continued, "did Penello also have this feeling when she went to the Ministry of Magic? Did she also think that she might not be able to come back alive to see us? When I think of this, I feel that I have nothing to be afraid of; when I think of my sister, I become inexplicably brave."

After finishing speaking, she smiled wryly as if mocking herself: "It's ridiculous, I was such a timid person before."

Draco remained silent.After a while, he coughed lightly, turned around and prepared to walk towards the exit of the bedroom.

Before leaving, he still turned his head to look at Viola, who was also watching him silently.

"Although I won't hand you over to Carlo, I must show my attitude in front of Carlo." He said, "Therefore, I will pretend to check all the student dormitories in Hogwarts. If there is no accident, I probably won't be able to return to my dormitory before the end of tonight."

"But..." Viola felt a little uneasy for a moment after hearing this, "You promised me before—"

He had clearly promised her before that he would find a way to help her escape from Hogwarts.

"I know," Draco interrupted coldly before Viola finished speaking, "I haven't forgotten. I'll let someone else come to this room to pick you up, so you can rest assured."

"Anyone else?" Viola still felt uncertain, "Who is it? What's more, what if the person who came into the room was sent by Carlo? I don't know anyone in this school." is trustworthy."

"He is someone you and I can completely trust." Draco replied, his tone seemed full of confidence, "but there are still variables in the plan, so I guess I can't tell you his name immediately. However, it is certain Yes, you'll be safer with him . . . than with me."

Then, he rolled his eyes and replied while thinking: "As for the person sent by Carlo—"

"how?"

"You remember the storybook where the hero leaves home and wife and goes off alone, Clearwater?"

"What, what!?"

"Damn it," Draco spat helplessly, "it's that Muggle novel you showed me! That novel I said was particularly ugly!"

Viola opened her eyes slightly and blinked. "You mean 'The Moon and Sixpence'?" she asked. "What's the matter with the novel?"

"Yes, it's "The Moon and Sixpence." After getting the answer he wanted, Draco's expression was obviously relieved, and he was not as impatient as before, "How did you say that sentence?" What? Sixpence all over the place..."

"—only he looked up and saw the moon."

Before Draco had finished speaking, Viola couldn't help but complete it.

"That's right," Draco stared at her with silver-gray eyes, a flash of gray and complex emotions flashed through them, "That's right, he looked up and saw the moon... Most pure bloods haven't read Muggle books, even if you have read them, are people like Weasley who will not hurt you. So, stay in the room obediently and don’t make a sound until someone knocks on the door. If that person If you can say this sentence accurately, then open the door for him, and follow him away without asking any questions. Otherwise, don’t do anything, understand?”

"I understand." Viola nodded slightly, "I will do as you said."

"Very good." Draco hooked the corners of his mouth contentedly, but soon, the smile became a bit bitter, "I should go." He said, "Carlo and the others should still be waiting for me in the auditorium. "

"Be careful." Standing behind him, Viola couldn't help exhorting.

Draco couldn't help but feel a little amused when he heard that.A Mudblood who had been targeted by Death Eaters and lost all his family members would actually ask him to be careful with a sincere face at this moment.What about her?Who would care about her life or death?Viola Clearwater didn't seem to have ever thought about such issues, and she didn't seem to think about her personal safety at all.He couldn't help thinking, what if it wasn't him who she met in the corridor today?What if she ran into Pansy or some other Slytherin?So what will happen to her?

There is no doubt that if that was the case, she would either be dead or have been reduced to the prison of the Death Eaters by now.

"You too."

In the end, Draco still quietly dropped such a sentence.

This time, Viola didn't say anything more, she just stood there firmly, leaning on the wall with her hands, watching Draco's back gradually move away from her without saying a word.

She was thinking that if something happened, this might be the last time the two of them saw each other.And even if both of them survived the war by luck, the next time they meet, they will no longer be friends, but real enemies.
