After Mr. Malfoy had said those words to her at the ball, she returned to the hall and stayed bored until the end of the room. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was impossible to say that those words didn't affect her at all, but how could Lucius stop Vio, as long as it was what Vio wanted to do, she wouldn't be frightened by anyone's words.

As early as when she came out of Professor Snape's office, she had secretly made up her mind that she would never let Draco go down the path of a Death Eater. Even if no one understands her now, she will stick to the path she thinks is right and go on.

Later in the ball, she watched everyone in the corner.

But in fact, it is Decora who is the most observed.

Draco takes every child of a Ministry of Magic dignitary seriously, and Pansy tries to be by his side at all times, as if trying to give a sense of intimacy with Decola's childhood sweetheart.

It was very interesting, everyone in the room was full of praise for Draco's social etiquette, they only saw the side he wanted to show, and if they knew how swaggering he was at school, they would have blushed thinking about the compliments they had said.

There were exceptions, though, and among the boys who had talked to Draco happily was a dark-haired boy with pale blond eyes and fair skin - unlike Draco's paleness, his whiteness was transparent and looked quite pure.

His smile is also very contagious, especially when he laughs, his eyebrows and eyes are stretched out, which makes people feel bright. Vio quickly understood why he was different, because he had a kind of energy and inhibitiveness that no one else could have.

Draco seemed to have a very good relationship with him, he was slightly taller than Draco, and because of this convenience he often reached over and pretended to be inadvertent, secretly messing up the other person's meticulously smeared hair with a lot of oil. At this time, Draco only muttered something dissatisfied, but there was no displeasure in his expression, as if he was used to it.

VIO felt incredible, Draco was friends with boys other than Goyle and Crabbe?

Later, when the ball was almost over, her parents came to find her, and Aunt Sigoness was nowhere to be seen, saying that she was an adult and could go back later.

Vio didn't believe it, she remembered that it was a man with a collapsed nose in a crisp wizard's robe, who kept muttering the names of potion materials such as the lionfish vertebrae and the tail feathers of the stunner, and his accent was not like that in Britain, so Vio guessed that he might be from the Ministry of Magic in France or the German Netherlands.

Lady and Mr. Sontrell looked beaming, as if they had accomplished something big, and on the way back, they put their arms around Vio and talked all the way, even though the two of them were talking most of the time, but Mrs. Sontrell kept holding Vio's hand.

After returning home, Vio lay on the bed and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, I don't know how long it was.

She looked at the starry ceiling and decided that the first thing she would do when she went back to school was to see the Mirror of Eris. If she could, she would have liked to have the Mirror of Eris - no, she had to have the Mirror of Eris anyway, it was the only way she could see her twenty-first century parents in the world, and she recalled their appearances and found that her father's face was a little blurred.

After discovering this, an indescribable wave of panic and pain surrounded Vio, and for a while she was even so sad that she was suffocating, and suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration.

What if she ended it early? It was entirely possible, she remembered all the big events, though all of them had changed a little since her arrival - such as Draco, not Ron, who used the levitation charm to stun the trolls with a stick in the troll incident, and Salecha Slytherin having a sister Danae who had used the Soul Splis Forbidden Spell......

But it doesn't matter, everything between Harry and Voldemort is going the right way for now. She couldn't tell anyone what was going to happen, but it turned out she could change that. Whether she wanted to protect Draco and keep the pride and pure-blood glory of the Malfoy family alive, or she wanted to wait until the end of seven years and return to the future, all of this had a huge premise - and that was to help Harry kill Voldemort as quickly as possible.

Vio shuddered at the thought of the word "kill", and for the first time in her mind became afraid of death, as if it was no longer just a vague shadow passing between words, but really stood between her and her loved ones before she crossed over.

But at the same time, a clear and new path was laid out in front of her, and she would not stop even though the ground was full of thorns and the future was uncertain.

Unable to sleep, she got up from her bed and walked through the hallway in the dark, knocking on Sigoness's door.

"Knock knock! After waiting for a long time and no one answered, Vio thought that Sigoness had not returned, and was about to turn to leave, when a light came out behind her - the door opened, and Sigoness had not yet slept.

She wore an off-white lace nightgown, her long soft hair was draped over her shoulders, and her face looked like Venus, the goddess of beauty, who had just come out of the bath in the light. And that's exactly what happened - she had just finished her shower, and her hair was still half wet.

"It's so late, what's the matter, dear?" Sigoness's expression was as faint as before, and there was no joy or sorrow.

"Sorry to disturb your rest, Aunt Sigoness. But there's one thing I'd love your help with. ”

"Uh-huh. If it's a matter of study - I heard that you are still using the owl of the school, in a while I will bring you a tamed stunner bird, and you can write to me alone. Sigoness said.

Thinking about his grades, Vio sincerely hopes that now he is not standing in front of the Ravenclaw University tyrant, but somewhere else.

She evaded the question with a slight shy but resolute avoidance. "Aunt Sigoness, do you know the Mirror of Eris?"

"・・・・・・" Sigoness looked at her niece and thought for a second, her amber eyes fluttering for the first time. "You even asked the Mirror of Eris, I thought you didn't read anything. ”

"・・・・・・" Could it be that the e- potion score made her think this way?vio felt powerless, she felt that her aunt and Snape were still very similar in some way, and they probably had no shortage of common topics.

Sigoness continued: "The Mirror of Eris, whose name is obviously 'desire' upside down, and the mantra engraved on the mirror is said to be 'see what is in the heart', and it is a magical mirror in which the happiest man in the world can see himself. See what I mean?"

Vio nodded. "Hogwarts is said to have a Mirror of Eris, and I wish I had—"

Sigoness glanced at her, her voice calm. "No, my dear, I mean that this mirror doesn't mean anything to ordinary people, and everything we want should only come from reality. If you do, you should understand that there is no need to ask any further. ”

"You misunderstood, not for my own use. Auntie, think about it, what a rare collector's item, and if we give it to the Malfoy family as a gift for the next Christmas, you will see how close the Santrill and Malfoy families are, and the Christmas party at our house will attract more supporters and collaborators. Our family's position in Britain will also be stronger. ”

Vio deliberated word by word, trying to arouse Sigoness's interest in the Mirror of Eris, while also trying to brush aside the fact that he wanted to use the Mirror of Eris.

But Sigoness was more sober than she thought. She interrupted Vio's words and looked unpleasant.

"I don't know if my brother and sister-in-law gave you any false hints - but you must understand that the Sontrels did not need to rely on flattery to the Malfoys in order to gain a place in Britain. At present, the Santrill family and the Malfoy family are on good terms, only because the brother and sister-in-law have a good personal relationship with Lucius and Narcissa, if there is really a stake, vio, you remember - there is no college friend or foe in our family, and the family motto of the Santriel family is 'self-contained, always neutral'. ”

"Now, go back to sleep, it's going to be a hassle to miss tomorrow's back-to-school train. Our family is not allowed to ride a dragon alone under the age of 14. And your parents and I have our own business to take care of tomorrow. Good night. ”

Sigoness's soft hand ran through Vio's hair, slowly but surely sending her out of the room and closing the door.

The hallway was pitch black, and the occasional muffled murmur from a few empty picture frames made it quieter around. In the silence, Vio reluctantly went back.

It seems that she has to find another way to leave the Mirror of Eris, but no matter what, she must do it, even if she is asked to snatch it in front of Voldemort herself, she will try her best.
