[HP] Subversion - Destined

Snow-white Ice stared at the two teenagers with ice-blue cat eyes, and walked up to them with graceful steps—she was hungry.

Ice's dinner is usually fed by Gavin by force, which is called cultivating relationship. This also formed Ice's habit of looking for them first. Whenever she is hungry, she will habitually look for two feeders. Lord, no matter where they are, this clever cat can always find them. Even during class, if the classroom door is open, Ice will walk into the classroom and meow like no one else.Of course, the professors can't embarrass a cat, so it is usually two teenagers who are punished.And tonight, Gavin apparently forgot to feed Ice in order to play a "little joke" on his father on April Fool's Day.

'Shhh, go away, I'll give you something to eat when I get back! 'Gavin couldn't care less about teasing his companions anymore, and drove away the cats that came up with an exaggerated expression, but the other party obviously didn't understand what he meant, and they still circled around them.

Eluut impatiently kicked the cat that had rubbed against his feet, which immediately drew the anger of Ice, who was already very hungry and irritable. Go forward and grab Eluut. Gavin stretched out his arm reflexively to help block, but was caught with a bloodstain.Eluut, who had been annoyed by Gavin before, also became angry. When he drew out his wand, it was a silent spell, but Ice quickly dodged it.

"Who?!" The scolding mixed with groans and panting sounded in the next moment, and almost at the same time, a beam of light hit the boy's position directly.

Fortunately, realizing that the situation was not good, Gavin pulled Eluut away first, "Get out!" He grabbed his companion's hand, wore the invisibility cloak, and quickly got out the door, not caring what happened in the room, and nodded. Running away is like chasing a basilisk or a lion.

After walking through several corridors in one breath and climbing several flights of stairs, they stopped panting.Lifting off the invisibility cloak, Gavin looked behind him with lingering fear, "No one is chasing after him?" The empty corridor was still dark and gloomy, "It's all Ice's fault!" He glanced dejectedly at the cat who was tearing the corner of his robe with his teeth , his mind is full of horrible ideas about how his father will punish him.

Watching Ice toss Gavin's robe, Eluut, who has calmed down, now thinks that she looks much more pleasing to the eye. After all, if this cat didn't make trouble, they still don't know how embarrassing they would be.He glanced around, only to realize that they had come unknowingly near Myrtle's bathroom.

"Why are you here?" The clear and melodious voice startled Gavin, who was guilty of guilt, and turned around to find a beautiful girl standing silently behind them.

"Devi (Devi)?" Eluut looked at the Ravenclaw with long platinum hair——Devi Malfoy. He never knew that this indifferent and aloof senior could actually go out at night.

"We should be asking this question, right?" Gavin was relieved when he saw it was her.

Devi nodded at them, bent slightly, "Ice." The cat who was having a fight with its owner immediately jumped into her arms, settled itself in a comfortable position, and began to eat the food the girl gave him.

Devi is two years older than them, and as the daughter of the Malfoy family, the three of them can be said to be childhood sweethearts. When Gavin was a child, he often played tricks on this childhood sweetheart who always looked flat and calm, but was always dismissed by the other party lightly. It made Gavin feel like punching a ball of cotton with no strength, and he was extremely depressed.

Devi stroked Ice's snow-white fur, hesitated for a while, and finally looked up at Eluut, with imperceptible firmness in his eyes: "Can you take me into the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets?" Seeing the two people's eyes widening in disbelief , she smiled slightly, turned her head to the women's bathroom, her eyes were far-reaching, "I'm about to graduate, and it will be difficult to find opportunities then... I want to meet someone."

"Who is it?" Gavin's fire of gossip blazed, "Basilisk? Salazar Slytherin? You are from Ravenclaw College!" Because Eluut inherited Harry's Parseltongue, the two naturally They will go to explore the legendary Slytherin Chamber of Secrets. They have specially studied the popular novel "Subversion-Destined", which is called the biography of the savior, and deduced the entrance of the Chamber of Secrets. Whether it is for the purpose of confirmation or curiosity, At the first moment, Eluut, at the instigation of Gavin, spoke the language of snakes to the faucet carved with snakes in the women's bathroom.

Gavin, who was eager to try the secret room, was really disappointed. He didn't find the basilisk. The only anger in the secret room was a portrait that was said to be hung up by his father after the war-the black lake, the old castle, the grassland, and the distant starry sky. , and sometimes saw a thestral or two flitting across the lake - the empty Chamber of Secrets was nothing to Gryffindor. "There's nothing there, who are you going down to find?" He looked curiously at Devi who was slightly absent-minded.

"Gideroy Lockhart?" Eluut murmured.

Devi's eyes didn't blink, "You know? So his portrait is really there?"

Eluut ignored Gavin's blank and curious question, but replied seriously: "There is indeed a landscape painting there, signed by G Lockhart, but we have seen it several times, and there is no sign of anyone." The character of Hughes Malfoy who died together was very controversial, because in the past he was an idol star in the wizarding world for a long time, and later served as a professor at Hogwarts.Before the war, no one thought that he would be a dark chess confidant of the Dark Lord.

The higher you climb, the harder you fall. Lockhart's reputation will almost never recover under the help of people with good intentions, but Harry and a few people still respect him. Everything he has done cannot be denied in a few words.However, Draco Malfoy——will never forgive an enemy who murdered his mother and himself, and died with his father.

All the portraits related to Lockhart were destroyed by Malfoy. No one knew where Lockhart was in the portrait, and no one wanted to touch the mold of this pure-blood nobleman, so they wisely stopped mentioning it.More than ten years have passed, and the memory has slowly faded in the long river of history, but the name Gilderoy Lockhart has become an eternal taboo for Draco.

As the leader of this year's DATimes, Devi inherited her mother Hermione Granger's keen observation ability to dig out the truth. Eluut knew that the other party must also see some little-known relationship between Lockhart and Lucius from "Subversion", and she might know more, otherwise she would not ask to see him uncharacteristically, let alone find out that it might be The only portrait of him is in the Chamber of Secrets.

Eluut stopped talking, pulled Gavin and turned to walk into the bathroom. The latter seemed a little unhappy, watching him open the entrance to the secret room in Parseltongue with puffed face, pinched him hard, and stared silently. He: 'This is the secret base of the two of us, why should we share it with others? 'Eluut chose to ignore his petty companions.

It was Devi's first visit to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, and it was colder and damper than the dungeon had given her the impression.As she walked further in, she felt that Ice's body in her arms was getting tighter and tighter. When she entered the hall, the cat broke free from her and fell back to the ground, darting out of sight in the direction they came from. "Ice!" Devi turned around and just yelled out, suddenly a dangerous intuition made her whole body stiff and creepy, and then a strange "hissing" sound came into her ears.

She knew that Eluut could speak Parseltongue, and she even tried to study it. It's not that she hadn't heard the other party speak Parseltongue, but it's not as if she was in the presence of what seemed to come from hell. There was a tense and tense atmosphere.The whole body doesn't seem to belong to her, but she has to face it, she is the only adult present, she can't let two boys face one - the basilisk alone!

Devi clenched his wand tightly, turned his head with difficulty, and seemed to be able to hear a difficult clucking sound as his neck turned.She closed her eyes tightly, and the shielding of vision made her hearing clearer, but it also magnified those fears.She firmly remembered that the eyes of the basilisk are deadly, but she also remembered that if the basilisk in the secret room was the one her father met back then, then she should be blinded, unless the basilisk's eyes can also rely on its own Strength restored.

She lowered her head and opened her eyes to the ground, only to see a huge black shadow sinking into the darkness again.Then she heard Eluut gasp, and the frozen air finally began to flow.

"It's all right." Eluut's voice was still hoarse when speaking in snake language, which made Devi tremble involuntarily, who hadn't come out of the tension yet.

"I have to say that you are very lucky. We have come down alone several times without encountering a basilisk." Gavin laughed a few times. In the face of the real shadow of death, even as a Gryffindor, it was difficult for him to gather together. For those broken courage, he had never admired his father who had faced the basilisk several times before like this moment.

"You guys are really lucky. Once he sheds his skin, the death ray will probably see the light of day again." The lazy voice echoed in the empty secret room.

"Who?!" The three of them looked around vigilantly, but there was no one there. Then Eluut seemed to think of something, and quickly fixed his gaze on the only portrait.In the dim light, only some black shadows can be seen, which is not real enough.Gavin, on the other hand, threw fluorescent flashes after his companion identified the target, and immediately, the familiar landscape came into view.

"Lockhart...?" Devi took a step forward, and spotted a figure under the tree by the lake with sharp eyes, as if to confirm her guess, the figure slowly approached the frame, and a handsome face with a devilish smile appeared on the scene In front of everyone.

The coming man was dressed in Slytherin robes and looked about the same age as Devi. He glanced at the three sluggish teenagers and squinted at Devi. It seemed that the long platinum hair sparkled his blue eyes, and he raised his head. The corners of his lips were slightly stiff, and his tone was erratic, "...Malfoy?"

"Lucius Malfoy is my grandfather." Devi gave a standard aristocratic salute, and she could feel the atmosphere becoming tense, "Are you...Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart?"

The other party did not answer, but just looked at her thoughtfully, and suddenly smiled after a while, "Lucius' death has solved a problem for your parents. In some ways, your birth and mine A force is inside..."

"Shut up!" A thunderous shout resounded through the secret room, and then the space beside Devi distorted, and the platinum nobleman who had completely faded from childishness appeared out of thin air, with a slightly ferocious expression, his eyes flickering with the flames of hatred. Pulling his daughter behind him, he pointed the snake stick at the portrait, "You are not worthy—call him by his name!!"

"Father?" Devi's voice was weak, she had no idea how Draco knew about her actions, and since when he had been lurking beside her.Seeing the complicated eyes of Gavin and Eluut, she knew that they must think this was her real purpose, but she opened her mouth, but she couldn't explain it, and the current situation didn't allow her to explain it.

"Haha, hahahaha..." Lockhart's nonchalant laughter was tinged with determination, as if he didn't realize the threat from the other party, "Malfoy, is he so persistent only when it comes to dealing with his family..."

"You'll never experience it...you'll never think about it...ever!" Draco squeezed a few words through his teeth, his hands trembling from excessive force, "Go to hell—"

The light from the snake staff shot towards the portrait, and a voice seemed to be heard vaguely, "No! Draco..." A huge force exploded instantly when the light touched the portrait, and the glare filled the eyes. The entire field of view—no, this curse only applies to portraits, why does it have this effect?Draco only had time to protect Devi under him before he was sent flying by the cyclone.

Gavin tried his best to keep his eyes wide open and stared at the portrait. For some reason, he could discern a bright color of platinum in the white light that almost blinded his vision. Who is it? !He wanted to get closer, but was dragged by Eluut's firm hug, followed by a nauseating whirl, a squeeze and vibration clearer than the first Apparation, as if every ounce of his body was To be separated, he had no choice but to hug his companion tightly, trying to shrink into a ball, resisting the terror of being torn apart, until he lost consciousness...

"Here!" The vigorous voice was full of vigilance and unconcealable excitement.

"Stop, Potter! Can't three years of being an Auror teach you the obvious truth that the faster you go, the faster you die?"

"I know what to do, I don't need you mother-in-law, I am no longer your student Snape!" Several harmless detection spells landed on him.

"I don't see any problem, Severus, the two of them look like just children." The old voice faded away from the endless confrontation, "Oh, they are still a pair of lovely twins...well, their hospital robes Should it belong to Slytherin and Gryffindor?"

"Albus, need me to desaturate the sugar in your brain with a fountain of clear water, so that you can remember that these two brats don't exist among the students at Hogwarts?—and, I don't think that as a Head of Slytherin House, I don't know who the current prefect of Slytherin is!"

"Hehehe, perhaps, they are just honored guests given to us by Merlin?" The disrespectful voice couldn't hide his cheerful smile, "Do you still remember the accident that happened when Harry was about to enter the fourth grade a few years ago?" ?The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor from 2006, and his companions who came later... Harry and Severus from another time and space, so impressive..."

"Enough! You only have these useless old things in your mind besides sugar?!"

"No, no, after all, it was their appearance that helped us solve Voldemort so easily, didn't it? What's more, don't you think these two children look familiar? Oh hehehehe..." The old man laughed It caused goose bumps all over the body, causing Gavin and Eluut, who were actually awake but still pretending to be unconscious, to twitch uncontrollably, "Oh, the children are awake."

As a last resort, they could only open their eyes, and the moment they sat up, they raised their wands reflexively, just in time to meet two pairs of familiar eyes, one pair of green and one pair of black.

The two underage wizards were surprised and delighted: "Dad (father)?!"

The two adult wizards froze in place for an instant.

The silence is also mixed with the strange laughter of the old man with white beard...

Gavin Potter, Eluut Snape—what kind of world did these unlucky twins come to, how to face these familiar but unfamiliar people, how to find their way home—this will be another brand new story .

This is the end of this series of episodes, bow, curtain call.
