Chapter 63: Midnight Astronomical Tower

The Slytherin common room at midnight is as quiet as possible. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe sofas were all equally empty, except for one, the one in front of the huge portrait of Salecha, with a mass curled up next to the extinguished fire.

When Draco stepped out of the passage of the boys' dormitory, he was surprised by the darkness. Immediately afterwards, a little disappointment popped out of his mind, which made him a little unpleasant.

Until, as he passed by his own couch by the fire, a confused voice asked, "Is that you?" Draco, turn on the light, I can't see clearly. ”

The almost whispering voice startled Draco first, then reassured him. Sure enough, she still came.

Even though he would most likely be spotted by the teachers and locked up after going out tonight - he knew that Nott would not let go of this opportunity to hit Harry's little report, but luckily, they didn't know that he and Vio were also involved.

Maybe if they were careful tonight, they could avoid being discovered.

But who could tell him what it was like to "turn on the light"? he had only heard it from Muggles.

"Fluorescent flickering. Draco whispered, then reached out and pulled away the thick blanket that Vio was covering with the light from the tip of his staff, which at first glance made him think it was a cat running onto his couch.

"Well, it's a little cold. Vio muttered, but sat up slowly, trembling at the sudden departure of the warmth, and then came to her senses.

Like that night last semester, the two of them were out of the Slytherin common room together again.

It's just that this time, they are already more familiar with Hogwarts.

Draco extinguished the light of his wand as soon as he left the common room.

Vio didn't dare to come out as before, for fear of attracting Lady Loris, Filch or Peeves, which were more annoying and difficult to deal with.

But what went smoothly was that they kept walking up the stairs without encountering a single ghost or trouble. It was near midnight, and they reached the top of the tower, and the cool breeze was blowing, and the tower was empty, and there was no one but the two of them and two shadows.

Vio regretted that he hadn't taken the warm cashmere blanket with him when he left the common room. I don't know how long I'll have to wait here.

"・・・・・・ you're cold?" Draco was patiently surveying the grounds below the tower, but hadn't seen Harry and them, and he was about to ask if Vio had seen it, when he saw him shivering.

Seeing him ask, Vio nodded hurriedly, thinking that he was going to generously contribute his robe, and was a little happy for a while. As a result, Draco smiled and continued, "yes, it's still cold, and I feel cold too." With that, he tightened his robe and turned to look at the surrounding field.

Vio stared at Draco's tall and thin back under the moon, feeling both sad and surprised - what about the etiquette of an aristocratic gentleman?

Fortunately, after a while of blowing in the cold wind, before Vio's sanity had completely gone with the wind, the door to the top of the tower opened.

Harry and Hermione's heads peeked out of thin air, followed by their bodies, and finally the box that lay on the ground, where the little dragon Noble was.

They came out of the cloak of invisibility completely.

"Hey, why are you two here?" Harry was taken aback to see Vio and Draco waiting here, "Didn't you agree that Hermione and I would deliver it?"

Draco wasn't going to speak at all, his look seemed to be saying that there was nothing to explain.

Then VIO had to come forward.

"It's not every day that a Norwegian Ridgeback is sent out of Hogwarts, right?" said Vio, trying to lighten the mood.

Hermione looked at Draco's many grocery bags bolted to Nobble's box and realized why Draco had ventured out in the middle of the night, and she looked puzzled - how could such a human act be done by Draco, a typical Slytherin, and not seem so incongruous?

But she didn't think long before four broomsticks suddenly landed out of the darkness.

Charlie's friends were merry men, and in order to reassure them, mainly Harry and Draco, they had shown them a few ropes that had been improvised tied - so that Noble could be taken away by hanging them from among them.

Then they tied Noble safely to the rope, Harry and Hermione took the initiative to shake their hands, and Vio followed and shook their hands, and one of the men with his hair standing on end like a hedgehog grabbed Vio's hand and said in surprise, "Oh, you look alike." Little girl, what's your name?"

Vio was stunned, she blinked, "Sorry, I didn't understand, you're talking about who I look like?"

The young man said happily, "It's the one from the Viking Age, Talia Santriel." I've seen her portrait, and her dragon training experience is a legend in our industry. Are you and her, are you related?" the others immediately stared at Vio when they heard this.

Vio immediately understood what he was saying, the mirror in her bedroom that contained the soul of her Slytherin sister Danae, and that she had a resemblance to one of the ancestors of the House of Suntrell, Talya, who had traces of history to follow.

"Tell me, how long are you going to hold hands and talk? I'm getting colder. Draco interjected. Harry and Hermione stood silently away from him, saying they had nothing to do with Draco.

But they didn't say anything about Draco's words. Mainly, the damn tower, the wind after gust, was cool, and Draco was speaking their minds.

Seeing that Draco's eyes seemed to be wrapped in a layer of cold moonlight on Vio's hand, the young man realized what he was doing.

He hurriedly let go of VIO's hand and explained with some embarrassment: "I admire Talia very much, I have been listening to her legends since I was a child, and today I saw a person who looked very similar to her, and I didn't pay attention for a while. ”

Vio smiled in understanding, but didn't say that Talia was his ancestor, and Hermione and Harry thought it was just a coincidence, they were very similar and happened to have the same surname.

As they spoke, they mounted their broomsticks, waved their hands, and led Noble into the distance.

Finally, Noble was gone・・・・・・ Harry and Hermione high-fived each other happily. They greeted Vio and were about to leave, when Vio noticed that they had forgotten to take the Cloak of Invisibility with them.

"Hey, your-" Cloak of Invisibility! Vio patted Hermione on the shoulder, trying to open his mouth to say the word.

But she guessed from Hermione's surprised eyes that her mouth wasn't open, and she couldn't control her mouth because it was already burning hot.

Sure enough, I still can't tell anyone what is going to happen.

"I, I mean, let's go together・・・・・・" Finally, she gave up on prompting them to bring on the invisibility cloak and said something else. Harry glanced at Draco and nodded, seeing that he had no objections.

He noticed something strange about Vio, but he thought it was just convulsions caused by cold and nervousness (I wonder if Vio would doubt the ・・・・・・ of life if he knew what Harry was thinking at this time).

Hermione thought deeply in a way, and while she didn't feel it was a twitch, she still felt that Vio was nervous about Harry and her relationship with Draco. However, she understood Vio very well, after all, Draco had saved them, especially Vio.

If one day, Draco stopped being so provocative to Gryffindor as a bastard, and she wouldn't mind admitting one more pure-blood classmate.

Draco didn't care at all, he just wanted to leave the tower as soon as possible, and as soon as Noble left, he immediately lost interest in night trips with Gryffindor.

Since none of them guessed what Vio was doing and what was behind it, Vio had to follow them down the spiral staircase - she couldn't even tell them about the Cloak they had missed, as Vio couldn't see where Harry had put the Cloak.

They were greeted by a confinement with 50 points deducted per person, and Vio thought about the upcoming sourness, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
