if i am not me

As time goes by, the day of the last game is so close.

But in just these few days, people have gradually shifted their attention from the second game to the specific content of the third game. After all, unknown things are more able to provoke the curious nerve in their brains.So all of a sudden, all kinds of guesses, both true and false, began to appear on campus, setting off countless storms, large and small.

But guesses are just guesses after all, and everyone is talking at most. Compared with other people's superficial fantasies, the professors standing behind the warriors really reflected what it means to practice.

As the headmaster of Draco Malfoy, a champion of Hogwarts, Snape never stopped inquiring about the third event.Although he believes that Malfoy is capable enough to deal with all the changes that happened in the game, he is extremely protective of his shortcomings, and he is not willing to let his favorite student know nothing about the content of the project when the other two warriors know the content of the project. Contest.

But that being said, there are still some difficulties in the specific operation.

Leaking secrets, every competition inevitably faces such a problem.I have to say that for such a large-scale game, it is undoubtedly very difficult to keep all the news of the game closed to the Warriors.At the beginning, the organizers might have taken some measures to curb it, but as time passed, this kind of concealment gradually became a long-standing tradition of the Triwizard Tournament that was not made public.

It's just that the scope of this tradition's openness is extremely narrow. As far as the current situation is concerned, the few people Snape knows who can grasp the specific details are only Dumbledore, Bagman and Crouch. That's all.

Dumbledore, as soon as the name came to mind, Snape excluded him from the scope of inquiry without hesitation.It is no exaggeration to say that he is one of the few people in the world who still knows Dumbledore better.He knew very well what an upright person the old man was in this regard, so from the beginning he never thought of starting from this aspect.

After eliminating Dumbledore, Crouch was originally a good choice.However, the development of things is not always so satisfactory.Yes, Crouch, who finally appeared on the referee's bench, fell ill again after the game.Although when he appeared on the referee's bench, everyone guessed that he might be ill to participate, but obviously, no one thought that his health was so bad.

When Dumbledore and Crouch couldn't get through the two paths, there was only one Bagman in front of Snape, and there was even a taste of no choice.However, this seemingly best candidate did not make Snape feel at ease. On the contrary, it was precisely because of the disturbing frivolity displayed by this person that Snape felt that this person was too slippery and not as good as he appeared to be. It's so easy to deal with.

However, all people have weaknesses, and Snape believed that he could always find Bagman's weaknesses, so as to get the information he wanted.

Thinking of this, Snape glanced at the Potions classroom where there were no students left, and planned to leave here.Today's work is basically over, and now he just wants to go back to his office and drink something to make up for his severely lacking energy.

However, at this moment, the originally closed wooden door opened.

The person who pushed the door was anxiously curling his curvy goatee. As soon as he saw the figure of Snape in the classroom, he immediately threw the door aside and hurried towards him—it was Karkaroff.

At this time, Karkaroff's demeanor no longer had the gloomy and haughty look of the past. He really had too many doubts.And now in Hogwarts, the only person he can turn to for help is his former "partner", that fellow Death Eater, and after the disappearance of the Dark Lord, Severus Snape, who like him turned to the so-called camp of justice .

He knew that Snape had been avoiding him, since the last time he blocked him at the Yule Ball and shared his guesses, this brilliant man had never given him a chance to talk to him again.

Indeed, he was also angry at Snape's behavior, but during that period of time before, he could try his best to keep it to himself.Of course, this is not because he has suddenly become empathetic, but because he understands the reasons for this avoidance.After all, after enjoying so many years of rare peaceful life, neither he nor Snape wanted to be connected with that dark past...

But this time is different.

"We need to talk." Seeing Snape turn around to leave, Karkaroff said hastily, so loudly that Snape's brow furrowed.

Raising the wand in his hand and waving it, Snape closed the door of the potions classroom, then glanced at Karkaroff who had already walked up to him, and said coldly, "That's not necessary."

As soon as the words fell, Karkaroff screamed nervously as if Snape had said something shocking, "It's not necessary?"

Snape didn't answer, but the silence had already expressed his attitude very well, which made Karkaroff scream in a very incomprehensible way, "Why is it unnecessary? Look! Look at what this is! Don't forget Yes, you have it too..." As he said, he rolled up his long sleeves, exposing his arms.

"Don't say you didn't feel it this morning! Snape... he's coming back..."

It was another Saturday, and it was the first time in January to go to Hogsmeade Village. Today was a rare fine day, not only clear and cloudless, but also extremely warm.So early in the morning, the senior students left the castle one after another and walked towards the village a few miles away.

Harry and Drake stood in the courtyard early, watching the flow of people in front of them, waiting for a few friends who were obviously late.They made an appointment at nine o'clock, but now a quarter of an hour has passed since the appointed time, and they still haven't seen them.

Pulling the schoolbag on his shoulders, Harry talked to Drake while keeping an eye on the direction they would appear in.Finally, before the two ran out of patience, several familiar figures appeared in their field of vision.

From a distance, Harry could see Ron and Hermione seeming to be arguing about something, while Neville was straightening his cloak, and Ginny was helping him as he walked—their steps were messy, which was Underprepared performance.

When they got closer, Harry heard Hermione scolding loudly, which also gave him a rough estimate of why they were late, "...Did you not set the alarm clock?"

"It was broken..." Ron's voice sounded submissive, and since Christmas he had become less and less aggressive in front of Hermione.

"It's broken? Why did it break when it arrived on Monday?" Hermione's voice was obviously a little higher than before, which made Harry and Draco fully understand the anger she was bursting at this time, but they didn't know that she was angry. What is more important is that the two of them overslept, or because of the short life of the alarm clock.

But being curious, Draco interrupted Hermione in time. He wanted everyone to leave immediately rather than the inexplicable alarm clock. You know, their time is very tight today.

"What's going on?" Seeing Ron's grateful look, Draco smiled, and turned to ask Hermione.While it seemed to him that it might be less stressful to ask Neville, he had to silence any subsequent rants Hermione might throw at Ron.

"What else could be going on, these two guys... I reminded them so many times yesterday, but they still overslept." Hermione said unhappily to Ron and Neville, who were dissatisfied and smirked.

Seeing this, Harry and Draco couldn't help but shook their heads amusedly, "Let's go and talk."

Along the way, Harry and Draco understood the ins and outs of the matter.It turned out that the two guys chatted until the early hours of the morning, and the alarm clock that Hermione gave Ron was thrown into the corner of the wall and fell into pieces in his sound sleep.

"What do you two have to talk about, knowing that today is the day when... er, your new book is on sale." Knowing the real source of Hermione's anger, Harry glanced at Ron with a guilty face, and said lightly with.

It's just that he didn't expect that his unintentional words made Neville's face change slightly.

Seeing that Ron was about to open his mouth to say something, Neville hurriedly said before Ron could speak, "It's nothing, it's nothing...just, that, cough..." As he spoke, he winked at Ron quietly.

Neville's words made Ron stunned, but when he saw Neville's wink, he understood Neville's intentions, and immediately put on an embarrassed smile, "Uh...it's that..."

Seeing their hesitation, Harry and Draco were a little puzzled for a while.But after seeing Ron glance at Hermione and Ginny, who were also full of doubts, they felt that they seemed to understand something.

So, out of the tacit understanding of being boys, they coughed twice and changed the subject again.

Seeing that Harry and Drake didn't go any further, Neville and Ron breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.Obviously, their misleading succeeded. Although the misleading direction will damage their tall image, the result is much better than telling the truth.

Could it be possible for them to say to Harry and Drake: Oh, we're just talking about Professor Snape, whom you adore and respect, who seems to be secretly plotting something with that gloomy Karkaroff... …

Can you say that?The answer is absolutely no.

Even if Neville saw Karkaroff looking for Snape when he left the cellar yesterday because of his punishment, and heard a few words before the door was closed, he couldn't "slander" Snape in front of Harry and Drake. Nepe.They are well aware of Snape's status in Slytherin, and they are even more aware of how much respect their friends have for this unpopular professor in Gryffindor, so they have always tacitly chosen to conceal this issue. .

You know, it's painful to take the anger of others, and it's even more painful to bear the anger of a good friend.In order to avoid suffering during training, they would rather keep their mouths shut.

When they arrived at Hogsmeade Village, the village was already very lively. Almost every store was bustling with students, but the most lively place today was the bookstore.

Ke Liwen Morris is a popular love novelist recently. The beautiful love stories she weaves have attracted countless girls who like to fantasize about love, and also made her books form a frenzied buying trend in bookstores.

What Hogwarts lacks most is girls, let alone girls who like beautiful love stories.At school, almost every girl was reading her novels, not to mention Ginny. Thinking about it, even a bookworm like Hermione fell into her novels, and its influence could only be imagined.

Therefore, when the news spread that she could buy her new book just released in Hogsmeade, one can imagine the girls' happy mood.That's right, this time Hermione and Ginny are also here for this.

In this regard, Harry and Draco looked at each other for a while, and decided to split up with them.Because they are really not interested in that book, so they want to play something else.

Hermione and the others guessed that the two boys wanted to play romance by themselves, and after teasing a few words, they said goodbye in a hurry.It can be seen from this that Hermione and Ginny couldn't wait long ago, if they didn't hurry up, they were worried that the book would be snapped up by other girls.

Standing in the middle of the road, Harry and Draco watched the backs of the four, smiled at each other and started walking towards the edge of the village.

It seems that everyone is very busy today.

Little H smiled and jumped in front of D: Little D, little D, do you look good?

D raised his eyebrows, and asked decisively: What are you wearing? (Looking good is good-looking, but a little weird...)

H turned around, showed off the extremely festive little red skirt and jacket on her body and the buns on her head, and said excitedly: "This was given to me by Hermione. She said that people in the East wear it like this during the Chinese New Year!"

D strokes the forehead: ... (Why do you believe everything she says...)

H blinked his watery green eyes, and said cautiously: ... Uh, isn't it good-looking?

D firmly shook his head: It looks great!However, you can only wear it for me to see in the future! (You can't make it cheaper for others!)

The author has something to say: Well, the above is just my own imagination. In other words, I really want to see little H and little D wearing Chinese golden boy and jade women's clothing (saliva), haha.

Little D and little H stand on one left and one on the right, and bow:

I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year and a prosperous Year of the Tiger! ! !In the future, please support our careless mother~
