[HP] Liar

Chap.8

As for what Viola Clearwater was doing at this moment, I am afraid it would be a long story.

There has always been a legend in Hogwarts - there is a magical room in the castle, and its entrance will appear in front of people only when people need it urgently.And once people enter the room, the room will become what they want according to people's needs.

That's right, this legendary "Magic House" is the House of Requirement.

Viola remembered that in Luna's fourth year—that is, when Umbridge was still teaching at Hogwarts, Harry Potter of Gryffindor once secretly gathered a small organization— Dumbledore's Army (DA).

At that time, in addition to Luna, several other Ravenclaws who had a good relationship with Potter joined DA.They did this, in addition to expressing support for Principal Dumbledore, more for the purpose of fighting Umbridge.

After all, at that time, the students hated that Professor Umbridge to a degree that was "unprecedented and never seen again".

However, Viola, who is Luna's friend, did not join the DA. The reason was not because she was afraid of Umbridge's punishment or oppression, but because... the emergence of a secret meeting made the Room of Requirement continue only for her. Used by one person.

Yes, Viola Clearwater actually discovered the Room of Requirement back in her second grade.

To be honest, Viola never understood why the Sorting Hat had sorted herself into Ravenclaw College.Although her sister - Penelope Clearwater is a typical Ravenclaw.But Penello is quiet and knowledgeable, and has always had an eager desire for knowledge, and these characteristics are not possessed by Viola.

She still remembers that when the Sorting Hat was placed on her head, she thought that the Sorting Hat would sort herself into Hufflepuff or Gryffindor.

But the Sorting Hat called out that name——

"Ravenclaw!"

When Viola was full of doubts, the Sorting Hat told her: "You belong to Ravenclaw, where you can find everything you really want."

All I really want, but what is that?

The answer to this question, Viola felt that even she could not figure it out.

After entering Ravenclaw, Viola quickly felt the feeling of being out of place with her surroundings.

Ravenclaws are roughly divided into two types of people. Although they are not smart enough, they can show perseverance in learning beyond ordinary people. This kind of people can often achieve good results in exams.

There is another kind of person, there is the so-called "genius" in people's mouth.They may not work hard enough, but they can handle difficult problems, and most of the knowledge in school will not be difficult for them.

But Viola did not belong to any of them.

She has never been too enthusiastic about the knowledge in school. For her, learning spells and mastering magic are just things she should do.She will try her best to finish it, but she may not be able to do it well.

So over the past few years, Viola Krivat's grades have always been at the bottom of the rope in Ravenclaw College.

"But Viola, you are a rare genius in other respects."

When Viola told Luna her thoughts, that's what her kind friend told her.

"Genius?" Viola curled her lips, "I'm an ordinary person in every respect, Luna."

"No, that's not the case." Luna shook her head resolutely, "You are my genius friend, Viola. Dare I say Ravenclaw... No, to be precise, the entire Hogwarts Few people can draw more beautiful pictures than you."

...Oh yes, Luna reminded her.

Painting is the only thing she has loved sincerely in her more than ten years of life.

When Viola was still in kindergarten in the Muggle world, she showed a good drawing talent among children of the same age.

"This child's paintings are so beautiful!" Kindergarten teachers often said to Viola's parents, "I dare say, this child will become a great painter when he grows up!"

Although Viola now thinks back, she also feels that the reason why the teacher said such exaggerated praise was just to encourage her confidence in painting.But to Viola at the time, this was a great affirmation of herself.

The Clearwater family has only two daughters, Penelope and Viola.

Penelope, five years older than Viola, was the crown jewel of the Clearwaters, and their constant pride.

Before entering Hogwarts, Penelope's grades in the school were always among the best. If she hadn't received the admission letter from Hogwarts, Viola felt that Penelope would definitely be able to rely on her own ability. Admitted to the University of Cambridge.

Viola adored her sister, but was also a little jealous of her.

Because Penello is so good, most of the parents' attention will always be on her, and they will often inadvertently ignore Viola's feelings.

Until Viola discovered her talent in painting-a talent that Penello did not have.

Like going crazy, she kept learning how to draw, and relied on this skill to win many awards, big and small, in the original Muggle primary school.

It was also at that time that Viola felt for the first time what it was like for her parents to be proud of herself.

In fact, Viola didn't want to go to Hogwarts to study before receiving the admission letter from Hogwarts.

From the letter sent back by Penello, she can roughly understand that Hogwarts is a magic school specializing in magic, and no one there will teach students about painting.

If she couldn't draw, how boring would her life be?

So when Viola's owl stopped at her bedroom window, Viola tried to destroy that letter secretly, but found that it was useless to do so-as long as you destroy a letter, there will be more A steady stream of letters came in.

Viola's rebellious behavior finally caught the attention of her sister Penello.Penelope told Viola that no matter what, she must go to Hogwarts to go to school.

"You have to go, Viola. You are a witch." Penello tried to persuade her earnestly, "If the magic power in your body cannot be well controlled, no one can tell if it will happen to you in the future. What danger."

So, under the hard work of Penello and her parents, Viola reluctantly carried her luggage and boarded the Hogwarts express train.

Viola thought wildly for a while, and when she fully came to her senses, she was already standing opposite the tapestry on the eighth floor that said "The Ugly Stick Beats Barnabas".

She stood on the spot and took a deep breath, then turned her head and looked around vigilantly for a while. After confirming that there was no one behind her, she took a step forward, intending to walk towards the room where the sliding door of the Room of Requirement is located. direction to go.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, she felt her body stiffen suddenly, and she froze in place like a stone statue.

what happened?

She obviously didn't hear anyone chanting a spell just now!

Viola moved her fingers in her pocket with difficulty, and now her wand was in her palm, but it was a pity that she couldn't lift it up at all.

Logically speaking, normal students would not appear in this place at this time.So there are only two explanations for what is happening today.First, maybe some prefect who was watching the night spotted her, cast the truth spell on her and was going to take points off her.Second, that is... She was very unlucky to meet a student who was as restless as she was, and for some purpose, that person also needed to enter the Room of Requirement at this time.

Could it be Potter and the others?

Viola couldn't help asking herself secretly in her heart, but soon, she denied this guess.

No...it couldn't be Potter.Since the gathering of Potter and others was discovered by Umbridge last semester, they have never held a DA gathering.What's more, now that Principal Dumbledore has returned to Hogwarts, there is no need for Potter and the others to do so.

"Gol, did you find something strange there?"

"No...no, how about you, Crabbe?"

"There's nothing wrong with me here either, I think we can go straight to Malfoy now."

……

Some chattering voices came from behind Viola. Viola couldn't quite hear the specific content of their discussion, but she grasped a crucial name——Malfoy.

Draco Malfoy?

As soon as the name was thought of, Malfoy's pale and thin face flashed in Viola's mind.Viola felt that her blood seemed to be gradually congealing at this moment, and great despair filled her entire heart.

Viola: ? ? ?

Although she knew that she had never been a lucky girl, but meeting Draco Malfoy at this time?Great Merlin, she shouldn't be so unlucky!

In the darkness, Viola could hear gentle footsteps gradually approaching her direction.She held her breath with difficulty, and a lot of cold sweat oozed from her palms.

At this moment, she couldn't do anything except stand in place in fear and anxiety.

"Fluorescent flashes."

She heard a deep voice ringing in her ears, and in the next second, a glaring light shone towards her eyes. Viola closed her eyes subconsciously, but the "uninvited guest" standing in front of her was obviously not Not happy with her doing this.

"It's you?!" Malfoy looked at Viola's face in surprise and opened his mouth, then frowned strangely, "Damn, I thought..."

What do you think?What is Malfoy afraid of?

Viola stared at the angry Malfoy curiously, and saw that the Slytherin's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, and the light golden hair that was originally oily and slippery was also because of him. The sweat on his forehead stuck to his forehead obediently.Viola couldn't help feeling that Malfoy's appearance at the moment was really a bit funny.

"Malfoy, do we need to go there? Have you spotted Potter?"

Just as Malfoy and Viola glared at each other relentlessly, another voice sounded from behind him.

Malfoy turned his head hastily, and said, "No, no need, just stay there, Goyle."

After speaking, he clenched his wand again and began to slowly "deal with" Viola standing in front of him.

"In the middle of the night, don't stay in the student building or the common room—" Malfoy said halfway, slowly dragging out the tone, and then subconsciously glanced at the coat of arms on Viola's chest, "Lavin Twenty points from Crowe!"

twenty points? !

Upon hearing this astonishing number, Viola's eyes widened in fear and anger. If it weren't for the petrification spell cast on her, she thought she would have started screaming.

Malfoy then poked Viola's shoulder vigorously with his wand, and walked around her body as if he felt amused, and said, "It's interesting, you mudblood came here at this time do what?"

Viola still just stared at him.

"What? Mudbloods can't even speak?"

Viola lowered her eyes and looked at the wand in his hand schematically.

Only then did Draco Malfoy suddenly realize "Oh", and then sneered: "Ah, I'm so sorry." After speaking, he quickly waved the wand in his hand in front of Viola, and Viola Only then did Ola realize that she could finally speak.

It's a pity that except for her mouth, her whole body is still unable to move.

"I'm not—a Mudblood!" Viola screamed.

Draco raised his eyebrows curiously, stared at Viola's face and pondered for a while, and said quietly: "Really? Did I remember wrongly? Aren't you the one who... stays with the crazy girl all day long?" The Mudblood next to Lovegood?"

"Luna is not a crazy girl!"

Viola admitted that Malfoy had really angered her this time. Although she knew that her resistance would only attract Malfoy's attack, she still couldn't help but refute loudly.

What would Malfoy do to himself?Will he cast a curse on himself and humiliate her, a Muggle wizard, like his girlfriend Parkinson?

"It seems that I didn't remember wrongly, did I?" Malfoy couldn't help chuckling after hearing Viola's answer, "It's you, the Mudblood who bumped into me on the first day of school. It seems that you and Your crazy friend has a lot of friendship with that scar-headed Potter, I heard—in addition to Mudblood Granger, that crazy woman Lovegood has also been acquired by Potter?"

"...There is no such thing at all." Viola bit her lower lip with difficulty and said, "Luna and Harry are just friends."

Malfoy twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, apparently not believing Viola's words.

He lowered his head and looked condescendingly at Viola's Viola's cheeks. This was actually the first time he took a direct look at this Mudblood.Brown long hair, delicate eyebrows, a pair of big light green eyes.To be honest, the Mudblood wasn't bad looking.

But so what?Mudbloods are just mudbloods after all.

Thinking of this, Draco couldn't help but smiled contemptuously, then pointed the wand in his hand between Viola's eyebrows, and murmured: "You shouldn't be here at this time, O Laura Clearwater."

"What are you going to do?!" Seeing this, Viola frowned in horror, and at the same time did not forget to correct her, "Also, that...my name is not Aurora, but Viola."
