[HP] Seven Nights Talk

Chapter 57 Behind the scenes

The start-of-term dinner ended normally, if not counting Lockhart's uninterrupted boasting during the period.The students spent the whole day on the road, enjoyed a good meal, and mostly fell asleep in bed.They may know about Dementors, but they certainly don't know about Death Eaters, so they have the same reaction as usual.This is the life he's looking forward to, Harry thought before falling asleep.

Starting from the second day, all third graders faced a new challenge.The semester has officially started, which means that those electives they chose on Easter Eve will also start.This undoubtedly increases the homework, reduces the break time, and the class schedule is full.

Harry and Ron were fine, and Hermione's schedules overlapped to the point.Ron was surprised by this, but Hermione didn't explain.Harry knew that Hermione had borrowed the Ministry's Time-Turner, so he wasn't too surprised.The first class was Divination, which Harry hadn't chosen, so he could enjoy his breakfast slowly while watching his two friends hurry off to class.

"Did you predict that divination would be the first class?" Ron said unfairly.Both boys and girls at this age always don’t get enough sleep, and it’s hard to get up, which makes everyone drowsy in the first class.If they can get up late, they would rather go to bed without breakfast.

"Oh, I don't have the ability." Harry replied, he just didn't want to waste time on divination anymore.As for those prophecies... He immediately thought of the prophecy that made him the so-called savior, and couldn't help but take a bite of the omelet.See you all, Merlin!He doesn't believe it!

Hermione didn't pay attention to his movements, in fact her huge schoolbag had already attracted all her attention. "Come on, Ron, or we'll be late, the North Tower is at least ten minutes away," she urged.

Both of them took a few pieces of toast in their hands, and then hurriedly squeezed in among the students who were going to class.Harry said see you in Transfiguration and went on to eat his quiche.He thought it was a good deal to exchange a divination session for a delicious breakfast.

But not everyone can have such a wonderful mood as him.Harry noticed that the atmosphere around the Slytherin table was particularly silent, as if no one wanted to talk.Under such circumstances, Malfoy didn't look ostentatious at all, because everyone was in a low mood - it should be said to be an inexplicable nervousness.

It seems that although the news has been kept secret, it seems that everyone knows what should be known?Harry thought as he ate.Then Lockhart in the teacher's seat seemed to be bragging that he would soon solve the snake slough problem, not paying attention to the stares of several Slytherin students who had already received his speech.

Harry picked up another glass of pumpkin juice.Yeah, when a Slytherin knows that the slough is actually real, taken out of the Chamber of Secrets by the heir of Slytherin, and Voldemort claims to be the last heir of Slytherin - then Lockhart's declaration sounds It's extremely ridiculous.Can Lockhart kill Voldemort?Would they believe such a stupid statement?Do not make jokes.

Just as Harry was thinking about it and bringing the glass to his mouth, he heard a small voice say, "If I were you, I should choose milk."

Ever since Harry had made up his mind to use Occlumency all the time, Voldemort had to actually make a sound if he wanted to talk to him.But it is also clear that Voldemort will not let others hear when he does this.But looking at the glass in his hand, Harry found this statement completely incomprehensible. "What's the difference?" Is it worth asking?

Voldemort snorted noncommittally. "Anyway, you remember it." Then he quickly changed the subject, "Also, watch out for Lockhart, it's a little advice."

The latter attracted Harry's attention more than the former.He didn't want to drink anymore, put down his glass and lowered his head, so as not to let others think he was talking to himself. "Why? What did you find?" he asked. "I thought you did it on purpose?"

"Obviously not," Voldemort replied immediately. "The man is so annoying you don't even want to see his face."

Harry looked up just in time to see Lockhart grinning with his standard eight bright teeth.He figured he'd better not ask Voldemort why he didn't like him, and then realized that, in fact, Voldemort said it was a miracle whoever wasn't bored. "So? Why is that? You told me to be careful with an idiot who can only forget about it. Is it because you don't like him?"

It was a difficult question to answer, and Voldemort remained silent for a while.Would he tell Harry that something must have gone wrong for Lockhart to be re-elected because he had cast a jinx on his position?Then Harry would definitely feel that even if there was a real problem, it wasn't necessarily for him.It has always been difficult for him to understand that Harry, who is so vigilant, manages to escape from danger every time... luck is simply too good to describe.Now the point has become, anyway, the savior has always been lucky, why should he bother to remind the other party?It was absolutely impossible for him to admit that this did not appear in the plan, and he was really worried about accidents.

Fortunately Harry and he were thinking in completely different directions. "Oh, well," he said helplessly and a little annoyed, "it's like this every time, only half of it!" Although Lockhart's appearance is indeed deceptive, Voldemort himself is completely more than worse, There's absolutely no need to be jealous or anything.Besides his appearance and the Oblivion Curse, he couldn't think of anything about Lockhart that exceeded the average of the crowd.So, what was it that he hadn't found?

Harry spent a little time thinking about it before Transfiguration, got nowhere, and went to class obediently.And when he saw Ron and Hermione again, it was no surprise that he received a lot of complaints-Ron thought Professor Trelawney was talking, and Hermione had had enough of her kind. Opening your mouth is all kinds of ominous prophecies.

"Really?" Harry wasn't very enthusiastic about it, because he already knew. "Then I should be glad I didn't choose." Think about it, how he painfully made up his own death method for divination class homework before!

"Yeah, if you ask me, you made a good decision, man," said Ron, as they entered the Transfiguration classroom. "One of her most exaggerated remarks was that there is already something evil lurking in Hogwarts, and someone must bleed before Christmas." It will bleed too! Is the quill also an evil thing?"

"This class is rubbish." Hermione couldn't agree more.

That's when Professor McGonagall came in and they stopped talking.Although Harry didn't believe in the prophecy either, but thinking that he was carrying a Voldemort, he suspected that maybe Trelawney was half right this time.

The morning class passed like this.They were going to have Care of Magical Creatures class in the afternoon, and Hagrid brought in several hippogriffs as before.Harry was in the limelight again in this class, because he already knew how to deal with Hagrid's monster book of monsters, and was the first to fly over Hogwarts on a hippogriff. in a circle.

That's not the thing that makes him the happiest.Malfoy was in a bad mood, and had no intention of teasing the monsters, provoking them and then hurting them.This undoubtedly saved Hagrid from a lot of trouble, like Mr. Malfoy would take revenge.This is entirely because of the heir of Slytherin and the imminent threat of Death Eaters, so although Harry still thinks that Voldemort's snake sloughing incident and prison escape incident are not a good idea, but obviously under the influence of multiple links, they are not completely is a bad thing.

Other than that, everything else was fine until Thursday, when Gryffindor and Slytherin had Potions class together.This class was a disaster for many Gryffindors, because even Hermione-like behavior would be mocked by Snape when she reached out to help others.And with Slytherin, it usually just makes things worse.

Only this time something is different.None of the Slytherins tried to provoke Gryffindor, and the Potions professor didn't seem so focused.You must know that he has always been committed to picking on the Gryffindors. After Harry performed perfectly for a year and a half, he reluctantly gave up this effort, but Harry still has a repertoire, which is a particularly disgusting look.And today he barely saw Harry once, just wandering around the Slytherin side - around Malfoy, to be exact.

"Is that so?" Ron asked Harry in a low voice as he chopped up his daisy roots.He, Hermione, and Harry had put the cauldron on a table and were now working on the potion together, Harry in the middle. "Don't tell me, it will be Malfoy who is unlucky this time?"

Harry was peeling a fig.He could use magic to do this kind of thing, but since Snape would deliberately find fault with doing so, he had to do it himself. "I don't know," he replied, then glanced cautiously in Malfoy's direction, "but it can't be, is it?"

"Everyone knows it's impossible." This time it was Hermione who spoke.It wasn't the first time they had taken Potions class, nor was it the first time they saw Snape's eccentricity.And if one had to say that Snape had a particular favorite student, it would have to be Malfoy. "But I beg you, don't talk, huh? Neville will be nervous again if Snape is brought in." Neville was at a table near them.

"You can tell him the precautions in a low voice, Snape won't notice," Harry whispered.He had been watching the other end, noticing that Malfoy was completely out of Snape's sight.This matter is quite interesting, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.Because he had followed Malfoy to eavesdrop on the conversation in Hagrid's cabin, and knew that Malfoy actually knew a lot.Coupled with what Mr. Malfoy knew, they might have drawn a bad conclusion—Voldemort was back, and he secretly reassembled the army, but the members were different from before.

Harry temporarily removed his Occlumency. "Did you say nothing to Mr. Malfoy? Snape too?"

"I thought I didn't need to explain anything to the traitor." Voldemort seemed to be observing the situation on the other side, and he answered very quickly without seeming surprised at all.

"Aren't they going to cause accidents of their own?" Harry asked again.Voldemort's new choice will probably arouse suspicion among the Death Eaters. Those who are selected may be complacent, and those who are abandoned are more likely to be in danger.As an undercover agent of the Order of the Phoenix, Snape was out of range. Of course he would want to inquire about some information, but he didn't know that Malfoy was also out of range.

"You can say bluntly that you are worried about an undercover agent." Voldemort directly pointed out what Harry really meant. "I gotta say, I can take care of that, you'd better watch your own business."

Harry paused as he peeled.In fact, he could probably figure out Voldemort's attitude. If he really wanted to do something to Snape, it would be impossible for Snape to still be here in the third year.This is probably a different kind of trust.The problem is that even if Voldemort doesn't do it, he doesn't say what he wants to do, including the sentence just now.

"your own business"?Could it still be talking about Lockhart?
