Chapter 412: Leave
Animagus is one of the most difficult transfigurations, and the difficult conditions and the high cost of it come with a very subtle disguise.
Malfoy's ability to distinguish McGonagall, Sirius, and Peter Pettigrew was largely a matter of foresight.
But now the plot is off track
He couldn't imagine that Hermione's obsession was so deep that she would do it in order to find out the truth.
That's what blind spots are.
However, Hermione's surveillance also had limitations, and there were some classes that she couldn't escape at all, and her time was limited.
She spends a lot of her free time here.
Today, for example, while Malfoy was away, Hermione dragged her body through boxes and cabinets, hoping to find some possible evidence.
But as soon as she tried to open the cabinet, a stack of chocolates swooped down on her and pressed against her, making a sound of plastic wrappers rubbing.
It made her dizzy.
"What are you doing?" Malfoy's voice suddenly came from behind her, and there was no joy in his voice.
Hermione's body stiffened suddenly, and she gently shaved open the chocolate that was blocking her eyes with her paws, and saw him crouching slightly, scanning back and forth with a scrutinizing gaze.
Hermione regretted that she was impatient, and her body was not used to acting recklessly
"Won't it ......," Malfoy said again.
Hermione's mood suddenly rose to her throat, and her recklessness had been discovered.
"In heat?" Malfoy's words nearly choked her to death
"???" Hermione's body became extremely stiff for a while, if she wasn't in the state of Animagus now, maybe her face would have been flushed.
"But it's not spring, though?" Malfoy quickly shook his head, denying.
He actually had the illusion that the cat was shy, and it was quite interesting, as if he was really clever and understood human speech.
"Is that hungry?"
"Want to eat?" Malfoy picked up one at random, tore open the package, and reached through the bar.
Hermione hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should cater to her or haughtily remove her paws.
Then she suddenly realizes that chocolate is highly toxic to both cats and dogs.
Wait, shouldn't I get poisoned after eating it?
Tempting?
Have you been noticed, have you found out?
Just as her paws were about to touch the chocolate.
I took my hand back at once.
"Cats and dogs can't eat chocolate. Malfoy smiled merrily for a moment, retracted and took a bite.
It seems like it's fun to tease animals.
"What a nasty person. Hermione couldn't help but roll her eyes, using the cat's body to make this action, inexplicably cute.
Then I realized that it was as if the opposing positions were not so strong now.
She shook her head, looking at him again as an enemy, wary.
Malfoy pulled out another cabinet, then pulled out a white cloth bag
"The grilled dried fish that the little girl prepared for you earlier. He said.
Throwing the bag in front of Hermione.
Hermione controlled her body, and now she looked like she was in a state of obsession
Seeing that the cat was indifferent, he took out his wand and warmed it up.
"Heat it up, eat it. ”
The cat in front of me still looked like he was ignoring it.
"What, do you still need condiments?"
"A cat is actually quite happy. He sighed.
Or rather, carefree animals are happy. ”
It's also a hobby that understands cats and cat suckers.
In particular, this cat seems to be very obedient, not quite like those tsundere bewitching sluts, and it doesn't bark much.
If you disturb his rest, you will be kicked out, although you will not be made into cat meat.
Hermione reluctantly bit into the dried fish, playing the role of a gas bag.
but they saw him.
Occasionally revealing the temperament of a young man.
Really rare.
Serious, aloof, and the occasional smile are also stereotypical.
It may be that he knows that he is dealing with an animal with little intelligence that will let his guard down.
Do you still think you're in heat?
It's still very hateful, and the wicked smile on it is annoying, so boring that even cats have to tease.
Refreshed her cognition.
It's just that she still persists, monitoring day after day.
As the monitoring continues.
His life seems to be very regular, but he always disappears from everyone's sight from time to time.
There will always be half an hour to an hour every day that disappears from the office.
Very suspicious.
After disappearing, she could often see him tiredly pushing open the door, pale and haggard, sitting back in his seat with a vague step, the smell of chocolate filling his body, and the chocolate bar in his hand kept being stuffed into his mouth mechanically.
Chocolate can be regarded as a delicacy as a snack, but when he eats it, it seems to be a punishment and torment.
Chewing, swallowing, mechanical repetition, eyes closed, patience.
I bought so much chocolate and actually brought it to myself to eat.
She had wanted to follow Malfoy, but every time she went out, it was hard to find his back, and she disappeared into the hallways.
After being "teased" a few times last time, Hermione gave up looking for evidence, and there were really no valuable clues in it.
Now her focus is mainly on observation.
She saw Pansy coming to Malfoy several times for some reason.
For example, "Ask questions. "Tutoring homework", sometimes it's just pure chatting.
"Doesn't seem as intimate as you think?"
Hermione sometimes thinks like this, and then feels like she's wandering away.
Her purpose was not to probe into Malfoy's private love life.
Occasionally, he has to cooperate with Pansy's touching.
Gradually, I got used to it.
It's been a few months.
Today, it's the same.
Dressed in the black-and-green robes of a Slytherin teacher, Malfoy strode into his office and threw his black umbrella into the corner, looking dusty.
Tiny droplets of water flowed down his short pale blonde hair, splashing onto the table, flattening into strands of water.
He pulled out his wand and dried it quickly.
Lie down in a back chair.
The slender index finger gently tapped against the rhythmic rhythm of the desk.
Hermione had been watching him in class.
He kept his face expressionless all the time.
But in private, when facing her, he has no reservations.
Of course, a lot of it was because she appeared to him as Animagus.
Malfoy now fully accepts that he has a cat in his office.
Sometimes, Hermione also noticed that when Pansy came over, the boy would adjust himself well, pull out some far-fetched smiles, and pretend to be relaxed.
She hadn't seen anything else strange about him in a long time.
Today, though, it's clear that he's a bit out of the ordinary.
"Come here. Malfoy beckoned in Hermione's direction.
"What is he going to do?" Hermione thought unconsciously, and became pessimistic about her fate.
These days, I haven't found much information, but I have been fed a lot of things to eat, and I don't dare to weigh them.
She suspected she had gained a lot of weight.
"No more dried fish to eat today. Malfoy threatened.
"I don't want to eat either. Hermione thought helplessly.
But she still manipulated her body, as if she really understood, twisted her body, touched the ground with her fleshy palms, and jumped to the desk with brisk steps.
The two looked at each other wordlessly, and she wagged her tail and waved her paws crampedly, hiding her nervousness.
"It seems like it's not bad to have a pet. After staring at each other for a moment, Malfoy smiled reassuringly and began to talk to himself.
He got some inexplicable relaxation on the cat, and quickly pulled out a knitted sweater from the cupboard.
With a wave of his wand, the adventure gradually untied from the corner of his coat.
Then gradually it was wound regularly, and it was regularly wound into a ball of yarn.
"Come, to the cat treasure. He threw the ball of yarn over.
Hermione had to cooperate, and then, pretending to be curious, cut the ball open, allowing herself to be wrapped around the yarn a few times, and reduced to the point of being stupid.
Yarnball performances have become almost routine.
"Mr. Malfoy, are you there?"
"Please come in. Malfoy's hoarse voice reached the door, different from the low, magnetic voice of yesteryear.
"Be careful, if I spill the ink, I'll probably have to eat cat meat today. He tapped Hermione's somewhat messy head.
Hermione chose to go with the flow.
At the same time, the rotten wooden door was pushed open with a creak.
A long wavy light blonde hair draped softly over the girl's shoulders, she changed her hazy appearance and did not wake up, with a light smile on her face, crossed the threshold with light steps, gently closed the door, and then turned and beckoned to Malfoy.
"Welcome to visit. Malfoy frowned slightly, then quickly stretched out and smiled.
"Miss Lovegood, I think you should leave the door open, or you call someone else, to avoid suspicion. Can't be alone. ”
"Isn't there a cat? Miss Parkinson also spends a lot of time with you?
"Are substitute teachers so cautious? ”
"The love between teachers and students is generally because of the unequal status, even if the two are really happy, they will be intolerable by the world. Luna suddenly straightened her face and said seriously.
"Even if there is sincere emotion, it can be speculated that it is coerced by the party holding power. ”
"You're thinking a lot. Malfoy's expression stiffened for a moment, and the girl's leaping mind threw out a series of words that he didn't know how to pick up.
"Of course. Luna said briskly.
"Muggles write a lot about this, it's very interesting, I've studied it on purpose, do you want me to recommend a few to you? Which schoolgirl do you like?" Luna said excitedly
"I don't like any of them. Malfoy was aloof
"Compared to the male teacher who uses power, in fact, I am the one who threatens you, so don't care so much. ”
"Suppose I broke the contract, would you be uncomfortable?" she tilted her head, as if unconsciously, touching the earring in her right ear.
There is no earring in the left ear, only the right ear.
The one on the left ear, which was kept on Malfoy's body, served as a medium for the Cigna rune.
"Of course. Malfoy spread his hands, assuming that Luna did leak the secret, it would be almost impossible to fail.
"Are you going to make a request of me, then?"
"Of course not, you're stressed. Luna said thoughtfully.
"That smell on you is stronger. Luna took a few steps closer towards Malfoy, then stepped back suddenly.
"Divine Guard!"
Luna waved her wand slightly.
The fluffy silver-white gas condensed from between the rods into the shape of a rabbit, and gently circled Malfoy.
"It's so much better. She patted her chest
"Am I being disliked?" said Malfoy, a helpless smile on his face.
"That's right. Luna didn't care about his emotions in the slightest.
"Alright, tell me why you're here. Malfoy had a smile on his face.
"Farewell. Luna's head shook slightly.
"Your senses are still very sharp. Malfoy's smile faded.
"How did you find out. ”
"Today's lesson, look at your expression. ”
"What is done there?"
"It can be over today. ”
Hermione listened to their conversation in confusion.
"Malfoy is leaving?" but she extracted the keyword anyway.
From simple reminiscences and chats, it suddenly crossed over to farewell.
Hermione suddenly tensed, swept her tail, knocked over the inkwell, and the black ink spread disorderly to the table, about to soak the parchment roll not far away.
"Don't you want the claws?" Malfoy turned his head, glanced at it casually, pulled out his wand and waved it lightly, as if going back in time, and the ink returned to the bottle.
"What's the name of this cat?" Luna asked casually, too, looking sideways.
Immediately, her body paused, and her gaze seemed to be firmly attracted by a magnet.
"This cat ......"
"Is there anything strange?" Malfoy asked when he saw Luna's expression.
"No, no. But Luna's smile didn't look strange.
"When are you leaving?" she asked instead.
"Soon. ”
"From here, when, exactly?"
"Right away, I'll be able to leave if you're gone. ”
"You don't seem to want to stay with me. ”
"Because it feels like there's no secret to being with you. ”
"Okay. Luna pursed the corners of her lips slightly, a smile evoked.
"By the way, that Miss Pansy is going to be sad. ”
"I've already told her"
"Oh?"
"When did you become so honest?"
"Part of the honesty, it doesn't make sense to hide it from her. Malfoy shrugged.
"In that case, I wish you good luck?"
Hermione was completely stunned, the progress was a little fast, she was still a little confused, and she hadn't reacted to the conversation between the two
Then she saw Malfoy with a black umbrella, pushed open the door and left.
That's leaving?
The few words just now made her suspicions grow wildly, but she only felt that she was confused and couldn't figure it out.
She wanted to follow immediately. But every time I followed, it was in vain.
Luna gradually approached her, leaned down, and whispered in her ear, "If you want to go with him, he should be in the Forbidden Forest, it's still too late." ”
