There's always a lot of hiding in the dark. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"It's not the right time, is it? After all, the semester has only just begun, and if it starts now, it's hard not to be discovered. Malfoy said to the two henchmen as he walked.

"But my dad said it would be better to mess things up here these days, so that the old guy can't be separated from other things. Goyle said.

"I know, I'm not stupid, I've already planned it, you just do what I say. Malfoy said impatiently.

"Draco, would you really do that?" asked Blaise Zabini in a low voice.

Draco snorted impatiently, not saying anything.

"I always felt that this plan would not succeed, it was too haphazard, Dumbledore would definitely see it. Brace said uncertainly.

"If a student dies in the school, and Dumbledore can calmly pay attention to the affairs of the Ministry of Magic, then he is not worthy of being a headmaster. Also, don't doubt my father, always!" Draco roared under his breath. Goyle and Brace were taken aback, and Draco crashed away from them and turned back to the party.

"Humph!" Brace and Goyle glanced at each other and left.

Xie An walked out of the corner, bowed his head and pondered.

"Andrew, so you're here, let me find it. Penelope fetched him from the party.

Xie An glanced at Penelope coldly and said in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Penelope felt Xie An's coldness, but smiled even more charmingly: "Why, we are all one academy, can't we talk to you about something?"

Xie An stared at Penelope playfully, and his cold face showed a hypocritical smile: "Penelo, you should understand that there are some things that you should not be overly curious about, otherwise there will be unpredictable consequences." ā€

"It seems that you are very prejudiced against me, I don't know where I offended you? In my impression, we didn't have any in-depth communication before, let alone any conflict, it's strange, why do you treat people like this. ā€

"No, dear prefect, I don't have any prejudices against you personally, I just have prejudices against any politician. Xie An said with a sneer.

"Oh, Andrew, you've wronged me like this, I'm not even a little person. It always feels strange when this comes out of your mouth. ā€

"I don't care at all if you're a little person, I just want you to stay away from me. Xie An's hypocritical smile disappeared, and he didn't look like an ignorant teenager at this time.

"What if... I have to be close to you. Penelope took a step forward and approached Andrew, and the two looked at each other face to face, and Andrew smelled a burst of shower gel, very light, but very warm.

"I've heard that the more beautiful women are, the more they lie, do you want to lie to me now?" Andrew whispered.

"I'm just a little more experienced than Qiu, isn't that true?"

Xie An stared at Penelope for a while, the two were so close that Xie An could see the long brown curls, reflecting the light of the campfire, very beautiful.

Xie An stared at Penelope's eyes and opened the crack in the hell door in his mind, his eyes emitted a red light, and Penelo's soul was captured in an instant.

Five seconds later, Penelope staggered back and hit the corner of the wall.

"What did you just do to me? You... You've used dark magic on me!" Penelope exclaimed.

"I just want you to understand that I'm much stronger than you, your ability is not commensurate with your ambition, and you have to pay a price to bargain with me, do you?" Xie An said expressionlessly.

"You... You... How dare you use dark magic on your classmates at school!You're crazy!" Penelope shook his head with all his might, unable to concentrate at all, unable to hear what Xie An was saying, those screams of pain on the brimstone-scorched earth, severed limbs, raging waves of blood, curved horns and sharp claws devouring limb demons, was that what Muggles call hell?

Xie An used a finger to pick Penelope's chin, stared at her eyes, and whispered: "I warned you, little girl, you are playing a game that you can't afford to play, it's still too late to quit, if you dare to continue, you will never have a chance to turn back!"

"I'm not a little girl, I'm a few years older than you!Don't pretend to be a ghost for me, I know what you've done to me, you wicked wizard!" Penelope stared at Andrew with his head up, trying to keep his composure, staring at Shea as well.

"yes, do you want to try again?" Andrew hissed flirtatiously.

"No, no, well, I'll admit it, but you can't do that to me!" Penelope's voice trembled, and the terrible nightmare just now seemed to be gone.

"If you understand, leave now. Xie An's cold fingers left Penelope's chin and whispered.

"No, you didn't hear me, I thought... I want to follow you. Penelope grabbed Xie An's arm with both hands and said nervously.

"Your ambition should send you to the more demanding Slytherins, not to the pure Ravenclaw. Xie An withdrew his hand and said in a low voice.

Penelope froze for a moment, as if she didn't think that was the right description for her, but she soon chuckled under her breath, "Everybody has ambitions, don't they? I was so happy when I knew my mother was a wizard when I was a kid! Mom was very sad, I used to hate Dad, but then I realized that maybe it was because Mom liked a Muggle who didn't understand her. Penelope whispered.

"It's too hard for a half-blood wizard like me to get ahead in the wizarding world. The experience of being at Hogwarts in the past few years has made me realize that without a strong background, I am nothing, am I, Kirin Wizard?" said Penelope, smiling charmingly.

"It seems that you, like all the people in government, have a keen sense of smell. But Penelope, you don't realize what you're doing or what you're asking to join. Now that you know your limits, it's time to leave early. Xie An said coldly.

"It's a bit tiring, but that's not my limit. I don't want to give up. I'm willing to give more in exchange for a brighter future!" Penelope insisted.

"Light, when you're dirty, it's just hurtful to you. Do you want to be burned to death?"

"Enough, enough! Andrew, please stop!"

"I didn't do anything, but if you persist, your enemies may torture you like this in the future until they torture you to madness, you know?" Xie An said with a sneer to the frightened retreating girl.

The campfire reflected Penelope's somewhat pale face, and gritty and courage were being nurtured in her mind.

"I have to get ahead! I don't want to be abandoned like my mother. Andrew, I'm willing to give everything in exchange for a better future. Penelope's voice slowly raised, and finally yelled at Xie An.

Xie An stared at Penelope for a moment, making sure that the beautiful girl had degenerated into those doomsday humans in gorgeous armor, and laughed madly in his heart.

"Well, you can stand behind me and be my sidekick. Xie An said expressionlessly.

After saying his true heart's desire, Penelope seemed to feel that his body had become much lighter.

"You're too weak now, and there's so little you can do for me. To our enemies, you are as weak as a white rabbit"

"Who is our enemy?Draco Malfoy of Slytherin?" Penelope took a slight break and regrouped his lineup, looking to be free from anger and fear, and the shell of her charming charm enveloped her once more.

"Why do you think that?" Xie An gave Penelope a strange look.

"When I came out of it just now, I saw Draco go back in a huff. Penelope said with a smile.

"Clever, but not right. Draco was just an insignificant pretense, and everyone knew that what we were going to do wasn't in school. Xie An sneered and sneered.

"Oh, it seems that my mind can't keep up with yours yet, so would you like to tell me about our goal?" said Penelope.

"Your abilities are useless to me at this time, but since I accept that you are on my side, I can tell you about it. Xie An took out the poplar staff and cast a few spells in a low voice, the sound shield was reversed, and the traces of the spells became confused, as if it was just a reckless child secretly practicing a few insignificant magic in the corridor. Xie An walked deeper into the hallway.

"Someone is trying to cause a sabotage in Hogsmeade to stop the upcoming development project, and we have to stop them. Malfoy was just trying to distract Dumbledore from paying too much attention to the enemy's movements. Xie An said softly.

"You mean the Death Eaters want to attack Hogsmeade?!" Penelope asked, surprised.

"Hear me! I didn't say anything about the Death Eaters, and we may have the same interests as some of the Death Eaters in this matter. Xie An said in a low voice.

"What! You mean we're going to help the Death Eaters?"

"Well, it looks like I'm looking down on you. Xie An shook his head helplessly, "The Dark Lord needs to return, he has to create chaos, and now the whole wizarding world seems to be peaceful, if you add some good ideas, maybe people will become brave and unite to protect those beautiful things." Without fear and selfishness, a group of Death Eaters of varying abilities would not have been able to gain a foothold in Britain. ā€

"What!

"Stupid, can you not be surprised! Just listen to me!" Xie An turned to Penelope who was following behind him. Penelope was taken aback, staring nervously at Xie An's eyes, where there was black and white at this time, and there was no dangerous red light.

"We don't help over there, we just help ourselves and don't let ourselves get hurt, do you understand?"

"But you said the Dark Lord was coming back!" Pennet said embarrassedly.

"I'm not saying that the Dark Lord is coming back now, I'm just saying that there are people out there who are going to create fear, and they need chaos and fear to gain power. Xie An said quickly.

"Isn't that a sign that the Dark Lord is returning?" Penelope whispered.

"You're very sensitive to that. Xie An continued to walk forward.

It's a pity that Lord Earl, who is Xie An's backing, has a huge influence in the Muggle world, but in the wizarding world he is just an upstart, and Minister Fudge will not really listen to his advice. Perhaps Dumbledore was willing to cooperate with Lord Earl, but Dumbledore's influence was not yet comparable to that of the pure-blood families of the Ministry of Magic.

Fortunately, the pure-blood family is not united, it can be seen from the relationship between Zabini and Malfoy, as the most powerful Golden Galleon, the Malfoy family wants to replace the Dark Lord as the ruler of the dark world, and the other pure-blood families think that Lucius is just a miser and coward who only knows how to make money, and they look down on the Malfoy family at all.

Both sides are Death Eaters, and at this time, one wants to delay as much as possible and continue to secretly gather forces to replace the Dark Lord, while the other is eager to welcome the Dark Lord back. Xie An thought about the actions of the two sides again, and sighed softly, if he didn't use those abilities, he would still be too weak, let alone compete with the entire Death Eater group, I'm afraid that even the Malfoy family would not be able to kill them all.

Dumbledore was willing to take steps to get the wizarding world out of trouble, and Shea also wanted to help Dumbledore, and now Muggle-born wizards, and half-blood wizards, at least at this point, Dumbledore is on the side. The Earl has a lot to do if he wants to be the representative of this part of the people.

"Forget it, as a prefect, you should have a lot of opportunities to go to Hogsmeade Village, and I need you to help me deliver the news. Xie An pondered for a while and said to his follower Penelo.

"You want me to be a messenger? Why don't you just use an owl?" Did Penelope become by Luna using a Transfiguration Potion? Xie An suspected that Penelope did it on purpose, in retaliation for his intimidation.

"Owls are not safe, anyway, you just do what I say!" Xie An hissed.

"Okay, what do you say. Penelope chuckled.

"You go to Hogsmeade Village, there's a new ready-to-wear store across the street from that bar, and you go to the shop and find a suitable opportunity to say to the house-elves inside: 'King of Heaven and Tiger of the Earth'. ā€

"Excuse me, I didn't understand?" asked Penelope, looking attentive as if he was listening.

This is an ancient Oriental language, you can just pronounce it according to my pronunciation. Xie An said impatiently, he doubted that he should continue to keep his distance from Penelope, if he really needed to adjust his spirit, Luna alone would be enough.

"Fill in the trough?" Penelope said as he learned.

"Yes, just let him come to me, I have something for him to do. ā€

"Okay, I see. Penelope nodded earnestly.
