Chapter 52: Chocolate Frog's Reminder
I know it won't be fair to you, but you don't have to look like you're going to see Merlin. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Vio looked at Harry suspiciously.
"Well, have you forgotten, we told you earlier that Snape was going to steal something that the three big dogs were guarding. Hermione whispered.
"・・・・・・" Harry looked elsewhere, he still remembered the events of that day at the Quidditch pitch, and he wondered if Vio would be disappointed in Snape again if he didn't believe in her ambitions.
"Also, he confiscated Harry's Quidditch Tracing Origins, and that night, when Harry went to pick up the book, he found his leg injured and had a piece of flesh ripped off—"
"The most egregious thing is that then he wanted to kill Harry, and you didn't show up for that Quidditch match we had with Slytherin before Christmas, but Hermione and I saw Snape chanting a spell on Harry to make him fall off a broomstick and fall to his death!"
Vio suddenly remembered the details that he had almost missed in his memory.
"If Snape is in this game again—" Harry felt his stomach churn as he imagined Snape flying through the air with them, secretly casting a spell on him with his wand.
"Don't compete. Hermione said immediately.
"Just say you're sick. Ron said.
"Pretending to break your leg. Hermione suggested.
"Really broke my leg. Ron said.
"I can't do that," Harry sighed, "there are no substitute Seekers on the team. If I quit, Gryffindor won't be able to play. But I could hear that there was a deep regret in his tone that he couldn't quit. Vio couldn't help but laugh, they were all in a hurry. On second thought, it was true that the Professor's performance was really unpleasant, and it was normal for them to still have deep suspicions and suspicions about Snape.
If they want to speed up the process and change their relationship with Snape, it is better to start now, bit by bit.
"If you want to get rid of Harry, Gryffindor has always had a lot of courage, right? Don't be afraid of Professor Snape. Perhaps, there was some misunderstanding between you last time, and Professor Snape realized his mistake and was doing something to show his kindness?" Facing the skeptical eyes of the other three, Vio quickly added, "Of course, it's more likely to be kind to Hufflepuff." ”
Harry and Ron looked at her angrily, and Ron exclaimed, "Even so, vio, it's a Quidditch game and Harry!
Vio looked at Hermione, who had a subtle look that wanted to laugh but didn't think she should laugh.
Just then, Neville stumbled headlong into the common room. No one could guess how he had managed to get through the hole in the portrait, as her legs were glued together. But Vio and Hermione looked at each other, and they knew it was a leg-locking spell. He must have been bouncing all the way upstairs like a rabbit into Gryffindor Castle.
Everyone in Gryffindor laughed, but Hermione and Vio didn't, and Hermione jumped up and undid Neville's spell, his legs parting at once. He got up and stood there shivering.
"What's wrong, Neville?"
"Yes・・・・・・ it's Malfoy・・・・・・" Neville sobbed, his words staccafied.
Hermione led him over, and suddenly, he didn't move. Stand there staring at Vio with wide eyes.
"Why are you here?"
The scream startled the entire Gryffindor lounge. The people stopped laughing and talking, and turned around to look into Neville's eyes, where Vio was standing awkwardly.
This time she didn't wait for Hermione or Harry or Ron to come and help her, her face flushed, but she still mustered up the courage to look at them. "I think we belong to the same school, and although we are different from each other, there should be no barriers between each other. Even if we do have an enemy, it should come from outside the campus, not from within!"
There was silence all around, probably the quietest Gryffindor common room had ever been when it was occupied. Everyone looked at each other, and everyone understood this kind of didactic truth. But oddly enough, when the four chambers were divided, they often chose to ignore this. Now that VIO is so loudly provoked, no one knows what to pick up for a while.
Neville glared at her, sobbing. "You're - Slytherin ・・・・・・ Malfoy・・・・・・"
Vio walked over, tapped Neville's dirty clothes with his wand, and whispered, "Clean up." ”
Neville's clothes were as neat as new, and his sobs were quieter.
Vio continued, "Neville, I apologize to you on behalf of Draco. Next time, you should tell Professor McGonagall directly. And you know, it's not the fault of the colleges, it's just between the classmates. ”
A few more minutes passed, and Vio looked at Neville sincerely.
Neville looked at Vio, his sad expression softened a little, and he nodded almost visibly to the ground.
"What's wrong with y'all? Did I miss something?" the portrait hole popped open again, this time coming in with the Gryffindor boys' prefect, Percy Weasley in the fifth year. He walked over in surprise, saw Vio, and then looked at the silent people around him, with a blank expression.
Neville buried his head lower and ducked behind Hermione, clearly reluctant to mention himself again.
Without waiting for him to ask again, Hermione spoke, "It's nothing, it's just Vio saying hello to everyone." ”
"Oh, welcome, Santriel, Professor McGonagall told me as soon as you were allowed into the Gryffindor common room. Percy suddenly realized, "You're probably the first Slytherin to be allowed here in years, but I think I'll get used to it quickly, after all, there have been quite a few times when you always took the berry pudding I wanted to eat first." ”
Another Gryffindor girl also jokingly answered: "As long as you don't reveal our tactics, you can take the berry pudding as you like." "She's Angelina, a member of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
They all said that, and the people around them started to talk about other things, talking about dinner and their favorite teams.
Vio smiled, grateful to Percy. Maybe he didn't mean to, but this time undoubtedly reduced everyone's rejection of her - since she had been sitting with them at the Gryffindor table for a semester, what could she not get used to?
Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood next to them and breathed a sigh of relief.
If the people around them didn't accept Vio's coming, they would definitely not give up their friendship with Vio, but Vio would definitely feel embarrassed and avoid them like before, and the result was much better than expected.
They then found another corner and comfortably slipped themselves into their armchairs, listening happily to Percy boasting about how much Professor McGonagall trusted him.
"Oh, here you go. Chocolate Frog. While Percy and Harry were talking, Neville crept over and stuffed a chocolate frog into Vio's hand with red and swollen eyes. "・・・・・・I didn't mean to embarrass you by calling it out just now・・・・・・ I was just so surprised. ”
"It's okay, but you recognize me, and it's just an opportunity for me to announce this openly. Vio said as he tore open the candy wrapper and put the chocolate frog in his mouth.
Neville nodded, seeming to believe it, and was in a much better mood. He tore open his own, too, and Vio saw that the wizarding card in his chocolate frog was Dumbledore-Dumbledore?vio had a thought in his head.
She handed Neville her picture of a chocolate frog depicting a witch, "Do you have this, I don't have Dumbledore yet, do you want to change it?"
Neville looked at the picture in her hand, "I already have this one, but I'll give you Dumbledore's, I already have six pictures of Dumbledore." ”
Then Ron leaned over and said, "Chocolate Frog Picture, what's that one of you?"
Vio deliberately flipped Dumbledore's picture to the side where his life's contribution was written, and put it where Harry and Hermione could also see it clearly, and said loudly: "Dumbledore's picture, I bought it from Neville, the first Dumbledore I collected, it seems that I was lucky today." ”
"Dumbledore—" Ron shook his head, saying that he already had five, and what else he said, but Vio didn't hear it, she kept her eyes on Harry and Hermione.
But Harry and Hermione were still talking to Percy at this time, not paying attention to her, and Vio was a little anxious.
She thought for a moment and began to read out the contents of the picture: "Eh, here is the life story of Dumbledore, you see, Ron, Dumbledore's well-known contributions include: defeating the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, discovering the twelve uses of dragon blood, being effective in alchemy with collaborator Nick Lemay, and Ron, Neville, twelve uses of dragon blood are the content of the exam—"
It worked, and as Vio finished the last sentence, Hermione's body shuddered, and Harry gasped and almost rushed to her side, even though she was sitting two chairs away from him.
Hermione said goodbye to Percy behind him. She then jumped off and ran upstairs, estimating that she had gone back to the girls' dormitory to retrieve the book that recorded Nick Lemay's refining of the Philosopher's Stone.
"Vio, oh my god, you've done us a great favor!" Harry looked at the chocolate frog in her hand, excited. Ron smiled and made a powerful gesture to Vio as if he had figured out something.
Vio pretended not to know, and asked suspiciously, "What did I do?" Neville, do you know?"
Neville was also at a loss, but he really didn't understand anything.
