[HP] Wonderful Flowers Change the World

6. Tom Riddle in the trophy room

"You two's task today is to clean up this place." Filch said gloomily with his twisted face.He divided Dawn and Snape into a group and asked them to carry buckets and rags. After that, Filch led the two into the trophy room that ordinary students would not visit.

"呵呵——" The surrounding candles made an unknown sound, and the dim light illuminated the trophies in the glass cabinets a bit mysteriously, and only circles of shadows were cast on the bases of the trophies.This showroom is extraordinarily quiet at night, as if these things that have recorded glory or glory are just dead things. What they represent and symbolize is not the brilliance of the past, but the epitaph of a dead person.

Suddenly, the oil lamp that Filch was carrying went 'crack! 'It was dark, and the sudden lack of light made the surroundings suddenly plunged into a more mysterious atmosphere.

"Hehe!" Filch's strange laughter rang in the ears of Dawn and Snape, "Before the curfew, I will come back to review the fruits of your labor."

"Remember!" Filch said with a sharp emphasis, "I don't want to see any dust or water stains, otherwise you will experience the beauty of the little toys in my office."

After speaking, Filch glanced at Dawn and Snape secretly, be afraid, stupid children, just like the little wizards always showed trembling expressions every time after he threatened them.

But Filch was disappointed, he frowned indistinctly, the two brats didn't react at all.Dawn nodded slightly as if answering Filch's request, while Snape was already impatient, as if expressing a disgusted expression that if he really did these things, it would simply lower his IQ.

"Hmph!" Seeing that they were not intimidated, Filch felt a sense of loss, and it seemed that he would have to make persistent efforts in the future and change to a scary method.Immediately, he lit the oil lamp again, turned around and left immediately, he was going to think about the new 108 style of intimidating the little wizard.

"Step-step-step-" As Filch's footsteps gradually drifted away, only Dawn and Snape were left in the huge trophy showroom.Standing beside them were cabinets of different heights, the glass on which reflected the figures of Dawn and Snape in a strange arc.

Dawn and Snape glanced at each other, then turned to look at the bucket in the middle, with two rags hanging on it, they were a bit old, they should have been used many times, and there were still There were traces that couldn't be washed off, like those black spots, which Snape thought were the remnants of some kind of mischievous liquid.

The two curled their lips in unison, asking them to wipe such a place with this rag, how could it be possible!

Filch's labor service does not allow the use of magic, of course, whether it is because Filch himself cannot use magic, nor does he allow the punished little wizard to use it, which remains to be verified.

The official statement is that the school believes that the young wizards in the lower grades cannot use magic accurately, so when they are working, because they cannot wipe all the places with magic accurately, it will cause dust to accumulate in the corners and may damage items .

So, all changed to manual labor.

Snape and Dawn completely ignored this rule, they would never have bent down to pick up the rag and moaned down the trophy cabinet.The two decided that if they could, they would persuade the other party to use it here to clean it up. According to their own level, they could definitely restore an unusually bright and tidy showroom.

Fortunately, the other party was not Gryffindor, otherwise such persuasion might not be easy.If it's a Hufflepuff, let them do all the work, no problem.

It really doesn't matter, the whole school will know the truth about your strike in labor services the next day, the gossip group was there to serve Hufflepuffs first.

Dawn had never been here before, so she nodded to Snape, and now she decided that there were still a few hours before the curfew, and she would wait for the cleaning and so on. those characters.

Snape took out a potions book from nowhere, found a place where the candlelight was still bright, and sat down on the floor. Poor Potter, if the war between them and Timir hadn't affected him, he should now In the dormitory, they fell in love with the potion.

Thinking of this, Snape frowned. He must find a chance to get revenge, for example, let Potter and the others try to wipe the whole school's stairs with a rag.

Time passed quietly like this, and the footsteps of Dawn visiting the showroom were almost inaudible. She looked at the achievements and glory since the establishment of the school. In the millennia, countless people have come and gone, Only the trophies and the names engraved on the cup holders prove their existence.

At this moment, Dawn seems to have returned to a certain past. At that time, she was still a soul body. Who taught her how to survive in the wizarding world, but everything seemed so far away, so far away that it only remained in memory. Gained that knowledge, but lost the emotion at that time.

"Snape," Dawn called suddenly.

This sentence made Snape wake up suddenly, he was completely immersed in the potion book, as if he had never sensed that there was another person around him.Is it because Dawn's sense of presence is too weak, or he somehow let down his vigilance in this dim atmosphere.

Snape's heart tightened. He remembered the moment when the library passed by. Dawn Prudence was always like a ghost, or more silent than a ghost. As long as she didn't pay attention, she would Like vanished into the air.Such a person is especially terrifying in a war, and he can give you a fatal blow at any time.

Snape looked up at Dawn standing by the tall display case, and he found that he couldn't see Dawn's expression clearly in the shadows.Snape pursed his lips and looked at Dawn suspiciously.Maybe Dawn couldn't see his expression clearly, Snape thought so, but he didn't wonder why Dawn knew his name.

Dawn noticed Snape's puzzled expression under the light, and his secret vigilant posture, like a soldier who was on guard and ready to attack at any time, Dawn ignored such defense, that was Slytherin, In a way, Dawn didn't like that defensiveness and suspicion.

"Slytherin doesn't have a surname like Riddle, does it?" Dawn looked at the trophy in front of him, '1944 Tom Riddle, Academy: Slytherin, Special Contribution Award'.This was a trophy from about 30 years ago, why had she never heard of the name in the wizarding world.

Snape was momentarily dazed when he heard her question, 'Riddle? "Of course there is no such person. There is no such surname in the big and small Slytherin families, or according to his previous life experience, there is no such surname in the pure-blood families in the wizarding world.But why is there such a sense of familiarity.

"No." Snape replied curtly.Maybe he would ignore others, but Dawn and those two strange Ravenclaws gave him a little curiosity, and he would not get close to them on purpose, but let him get to know each other naturally. , might as well.

However, once a person takes a small step by chance, what he thinks is a nodding acquaintance may become a life and death acquaintance.

"Really." Dawn was not surprised by this answer, she understood the certainty in Snape's tone.

Although Snape was also a half-breed, Dawn did not underestimate or ignore the accuracy of Snape's sources.

On the one hand, it was because in the compass experiment, Snape's data was different from that of ordinary people.The second is because she discovered the little secret of Snape and Regulus.

Perhaps, unlike other wizards at Hogwarts, the relationship between Snape and the four was not so bad, but there was an indescribable connection between them.

Otherwise, according to Snape's self-absorbed character, how could he secretly take care of a Blake, even though it was Regulus who looked gentle and harmless.

During a night excursion, Dawn accidentally caught a glimpse of Snape's guidance on Regulus' potions. Maybe it should be said that he just gave him a notebook, but that was also very rare.

It's just that Regulus, who is usually in the first grade, and Snape, who is in the second grade, are almost nodding acquaintances.

Dawn seems to have seen the hidden story behind this, maybe this is the entrustment of Sirius.

Don't ask why she saw Snape's secret involvement with the foursome, it's because Dawn discovered that there was no real enmity between this group of Gryffindors and the Slytherin in front of them, but just a kind of child Awkwardness between them.

Although, Snape used his eyes to despise Potter and Sirius countless times.

All people have secrets.Dawn knew that a Snape who was different from ordinary Slytherins should have a strange secret that allowed him to see clearly the meaningless disputes and hostility between the colleges at such a young age.

"A winner of the Special Contribution Award 30 years ago, yet another Slytherin, has been unknown for 30 years. It's unimaginable."

Dawn didn't think that a seventh year with such an award, and an ambitious Slytherin, would really go unnoticed.She didn't say this out of pure emotion, but because she wanted to see Snape's reaction.Lovegood thought they needed a Potions Master, and it might be a good idea to try and get Snape.

Snape stood up, carefully put away the potion book, came to Dawn, and looked at the trophy.His mind seemed to be trapped in a maze of memories, as if a certain clear answer was there, but he couldn't find its hiding place.

"Too much curiosity is not a good thing." Snape looked at Dawn with no expression. "Curiosity killed the cat. Ravenclaw will know."

"I thought Ravenclaw's slogan was never to be afraid of the truth." Dawn gave Snape an exaggerated smile, as if to refute his cautiousness. Slytherin's plan and then move may not miss opportunities.

"If you insist on looking for a story behind it like Gryffindor, please finish your labor service first." Snape ignored the mocking smile and turned Gran Fendo has become an impulsive and brainless adjective.

"Oh!" Dawn took out his pocket watch, and it was going to be curfew soon. Snape still remembered that they came here to clean up the showroom in the first place. It was not easy, she no longer remembered. "Honestly, Snape, if you're advising me not to explore unknown dangers lightly, this Gryffindor-style sentence is out of fashion."

Dawn performed a few clean-ups and used precise spells, which immediately made the dusty room clean.

Snape ignored Dawn and made a few cleanups for some dead spots.

Riddle is not an unknown danger, but a dangerous person in his mind that is just on his lips, but he can't figure it out.Slytherins don't take risks in vain without adequate preparation.

The efficiency of the two people's cooperation was very high, and immediately the trophy showroom became very clean.Snape didn't expect such a tacit cooperation between them, which made him lament Dawn's precision in using magic.

At this time, the sound of Filch's footsteps came from not far away.

Dawn saw Filch walking in, and whispered to Snape, "I see there is no cat behind him. If you really want to persuade people not to do something, venomous tongue and threats are useless these days You can try to be cute."

Snape was stunned for a moment, the word "cute" hadn't appeared in this year, and Dawn obviously brought the experience of his previous life.Snape looked at the cat that had been mentioned, a student's nightmare that always found Nightcrawler's location.

"Meow~" sounded in front of her, but Mrs. Norris stretched out her hind paws and scratched the dull hair on her head. This was completely different from its fierce reputation among students.

While Filch was inspecting the fruits of their labor, Dawn had already bent over and stroked Mrs. Norris's chin. This proud-looking cat showed an expression of great enjoyment.

Dawn whispered to Snape again, "I don't know what being cute is, you can refer to Mrs. Norris."

"Meow~" Mrs. Norris let out another joyful voice, Snape's face twitched, could he be meowing like a cat, "Meow~ please don't leave me behind and go on a big adventure. ' He shuddered, taken aback by his brain power.

In the blink of an eye, he saw Dawn's sniggering, and just as he was about to explode, Filch walked over.

"Forget you to clean it up, now, go back to the dormitory immediately. Don't let me see you use some stupid excuses that you will be late to the dormitory because you have been punished for labor service after the curfew." Filch said fiercely, as if It's because I can't scold them for not finding the dust on the trophy.

Snape could only stare at Dawn, and the two left the trophy room.

Filch took the cat and walked to another place.The light in the showroom dimmed again, and the trophy that recorded Tom Riddle, like the others, stayed there peacefully.
