Chapter Seventy-Three: Hearts and Mouths Are Inconsistent
"VIO I think," Ron whispered, "you can hurry up."
By this time, Ron, Vio, Draco, and Crabbe and Goyle, who were carrying Coles behind him, the poor, hateful boy had already fainted from crying when he heard Draco say that he was going to distribute the shameless picture to his uncle. Fire Ran???? Wen?.
Vio silently followed in the middle, trying to keep up with them, but the group had been running in the tunnels for more than half an hour at this near-running speed, and even Crabbe and Goyle were gasping for energy, and Vio was already exhausted and unable to continue.
Ron seemed to understand her a little, but just sighed softly and slowed down a bit so that Vio could still hold on.
But Draco didn't know what to think, and when he heard Ron's voice, he turned around at the front, staring at Vio with silver-blue-gray eyes, full of displeasure.
"I say, Santreel, can you break away from our team? At your rate, by the time we arrived, Potter would have been poisoned in his office, and Knott would be laughing in the common room. ”
His tone was very impatient, and Vio's face was hot, and she knew that this time it was indeed herself who was dragging a few people back, and even if Crabbe and Goyle were panting, they were actually not going slower than her, but they didn't want to overtake her.
Just when Vio was a little dazed and didn't know what to say, Draco suddenly approached her and naturally took her hand.
Both Vio and Ron looked at him in shock, but Draco turned his back and led Vio towards the entrance at a faster pace, leaving them with a straight, straight back.
"Look, Santriel, why are you still so slow, don't you know how fat you have been lately?" Draco's voice was a little low, and Vio felt her cheeks burn even more, and she quickly lowered her head, trying to ignore the warmth of her palms and the support that was pulling her forward.
Ron had been walking behind Draco in the second position, but only behind Vio, realizing that his mouth was wide enough to fit an egg without noticing.
"Hey, you guys" Before Ron could finish asking, they reached the exit.
Pushing the one-eyed witch statue away, Vio and Draco stumbled through the exit.
Ron had to concentrate and crawl out.
The group split into two groups in the hallway.
Crabbe and Goyle took Coles straight back to the Slytherin common room, while Draco, Vio, and Ron went straight to Snape's private office.
Ron didn't want to go there at first, and not far from Snape's office was a suspended chain-link walkway that led to the common room of Slytherin House.
But Draco told him with certainty that Harry would be there.
Eventually, Ron followed them suspiciously down into the basement.
The three of them stopped outside the office and breathed a sigh of relief, and Vio suddenly remembered that Draco was still holding her, and she quickly pulled her hand out, and then stood behind Ron.
Draco chuckled out for some reason.
Vio thought he was laughing at himself, but fortunately it didn't take long, and he quickly drew his wand and tapped the middle of the mossy stone wall in front of him, saying, "Grimes." ”
In the middle of the stone wall, on both sides of the slide, the doorway inside is revealed.
Draco was the first to push the door in
There were already three people standing in the office, and the man with his back to them was a little weak, with some clean patches on his clothes, and it was Lupin.
Just listen to him say: "Look, Severus, I think it's like a product of Jokowi's joke shop"
The eyes of several people were focused on the parchment on the table in front of Snape, something glittering on it, and Vio couldn't make out what was written on it from a distance.
But you don't have to look at her to know that Harry was discovered by Snape, but Snape didn't know the magic of the map and was still lying to Harry.
Ron shouted behind them, "I gave that thing to Harry," and he breathlessed, "I bought it from Jokowi a long time ago......"
This is a rhetoric that preserves the source of this picture to himself in order to cater to Lupin's words.
No one with a bit of a brain would believe it, and Professor Snape was clearly more than a bit of a man, and he had no intention of letting Harry go.
"Oh?" Professor Snape lengthened his voice mockingly, then stared at Ron viciously, and was about to speak again when Lupin spoke just in time, "Okay, that doesn't mean anything, Severus, I'll get this thing back, okay?"
He clapped his hands with a look of delight, and then folded the map and put it in his robe, seemingly with ease.
But just as he was about to reach into his pocket, Professor Snape stopped him.
"Lupin, I suppose you won't take Weasley's words that you knew were a lie until the meaning of this picture was unclear, and this picture should have been left with me. As he spoke, with a little effort in his hand, he withdrew the parchment from Lupin's hand.
Harry and Ron were both taken aback, Lupin had let Snape take the parchment like that, his hands were still trembling slightly, it seemed that he was very weak and Lupin was sick again?
Snape glanced inquiringly at Ropin's pale lips with his dark eyes, and then said, "Blessed Thobert, I'm going to have to clean my office." Draco, you've come just in time, I have something to ask you. ”
Snape said as he stopped looking at Lupin, Harry, and Ron as if they were transparent, and walked around the shelves of the office with all sorts of bottles and cans, soaks, and potions.
Lupin didn't have an annoyed expression, and didn't dwell on it any further, but nodded to Vio, and then said to Harry and Ron, "Harry, Ron, come with me, I have something to say about the vampire paper I laid out." Here we go, Severus. ”
VIO had thought that Professor Snape would definitely ignore Professor Lupin, and still felt sorry and embarrassed for him in his heart, but who knew that Professor Snape heard this, and turned out from behind the shelf in a few steps.
He walked a few quick steps to the door to catch up with Lupin, and stiffly stuffed a bottle into Lupin's arms, filling it with a large bottle of monstrous colored liquid. Harry and Ron had just tried to take a closer look when Professor Snape looked at them with a murderous look on his face, causing them to look away again.
"Thank you, Severus. Lupin spoke softly, Professor Snape snorted to hear him, and slammed the door to his office in front of Lupin.
Vio was also locked out, but she didn't think much about it, she was ignored from beginning to end, she was used to the professor's attitude towards her, as long as she showed up with Harry, the professor would not give her a good look.
