No.23 Holy Grail Follower (Upright)

I gave Trelawney a stick, but she wasn't wrong.

After all, Riddle was indeed a confluence of serpents and darkness, and Opal was destined to be entangled with him from the beginning.

Finally walked in front of the people, although he was still wearing a mask, but as a "half-ki", Riddle was finally able to come out to meet guests, it was really not easy.

==================================================

Grail Retinue (upright): Gentleman.

、

Hogwarts, England

、

Although Hogsmeade is actually no stranger to Slytherin House or those who grew up in the wizarding world with a decent background, it is still very exciting for them to be able to go there independently during the school day.

"Cut, what's there to be happy about!"

The dignified Slytherin third-year prefect clasped his arms in disdain, "Isn't it just going to Hogsmeade?" Isn't it already rotten there? Immature! ”

Pansy and Brace, who were passing by, looked at each other - I said, Draco, aren't you really angry here because you have a date? Who is more naΓ―ve?

However, if this kind of saying it will definitely attract hatred points, these two people will not be stupid to say it and look for it - although the force value is not as high as their third-year chief, but if someone who is invincible under the chief can't resist the face and get angry, then the two of them will definitely not be able to hold it - so naturally they pretended not to see or hear anything, and almost sneaked away with a sign of "I'm passing by to play soy sauce".

Leaving aside the fact that he was one step too late and missed out on a date invitation, and Draco was there with a frenzy of air-conditioning and low pressure, we turned our attention to Gryffindorta.

Because of a relationship with a related aunt who had disgusted Harry to the point of not even mentioning his name, Harry was disqualified from going to Hogsmeade after failing to get the guardian's signature.

So on the morning of Halloween, when Harry woke up with everyone and went downstairs to breakfast, his mood could be described as "extremely bad", but in order to avoid affecting the emotions of others, he still tried to pretend to be the same as usual.

"We'll bring you a lot of candy from Duke Honey."

Hermione said, feeling extremely sorry for him.

"yes, I'll definitely bring a lot of them back."

Ron also spoke, although some time ago he thought that Harry and Hermione had been secretly carrying him behind his back to get something, but considering that Hermione had come over to invite him to Hogsmeade this time, he also put down that little mustard.

Although he was a little worried about Harry who couldn't go, Hogsmeade was relatively more attractive at the moment, and with the carelessness characteristic of the students of the Lion Academy, he didn't notice Harry's hidden emotions at all.

"Don't worry about me."

Harry said he was trying to pretend to be casual at the moment, "Meet at dinner." Have a great time with the two of you. ”

With that, he accompanied them to the antechamber, where Filch, the caretaker, was standing inside the door, holding a long list and checking against a single person, looking suspiciously at everyone's face, beware of anyone who shouldn't be slipping out.

"Are you staying, Potter?"

Around the corner of the stairs near the antechamber, Draco, who was angry because he was in a bad mood, raised an eyebrow when he spotted Harry, as defiant as ever.

"Come on, Draco, you know my situation."

Twitching the corners of his mouth, Harry pushed down his glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Please don't take out your anger on me just because Opal refused, okay?" It's not the Opal I dated. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Draco, who was choked up instantly, turned blue because he couldn't refute - fortunately, the students had been almost gone out of excitement since early in the morning, so no one noticed the small confrontation between the two of them.

"Alright, I'm going back, Draco, you better hurry up, maybe you can run into Opal in Hogsmeade."

With a wave of his hand, Harry ignored Draco's reaction and turned away.

"Tsk, this scar is getting harder and harder to deal with."

Almost staring at the back of Harry leaving, although it was not the first time that someone choked on him, but this time he was choked by Harry, which was really unacceptable to Draco.

After standing there sulking for a while, he suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip to Hogsmeade, and hurriedly called Goyle and Crabbe to the antechamber.

Harry walked up the marble staircase alone, through the untouched hallway, ready to return to the Gryffindor Tower.

But as he passed through a hallway, he heard a familiar voice.

[Professor Trelawney, may I be asked what is the matter with stopping me?] ]

Calm and polite, the soft tone is the voice that belongs to Opal.

"My dear child, I remember you, you seem to have missed a lot of classes......"

Then Professor Trelawney's slightly nervous voice rang out, "I know...... You don't like me, do you? ”

[I respect every professor.] ]

"Oh no, you know. Your Highness of Nature...... Hehe, you should have noticed, didn't you? In these divination lessons, your divination equipment ...... The shadows and signs of foreboding and darkness are displayed. Darkness, and snakes...... Dear Highness, this is definitely not a good sign. ”

[Indeed.] The divination showed that my future was wrapped in darkness and entangled in serpents. ]

Then there was Opal's voice, which seemed to be completely untouched by Professor Trelawney's calm, [but please don't forget, Professor, I'm a student of Slytherin, and the symbol of Slytherin is the snake, isn't it?] ]

"My dear child, you know that you should not have chosen to go out this time. Know that darkness, once associated with the serpent, is a sign of ......"

[Professor Trelawney.] ]

Opal's voice suddenly rose a little, but then he calmed down again, [prophecy is only a means, but it is also a fate that cannot be avoided, and the most important thing for a person is to keep his promise and be honest, so I cannot grant you this request. ]

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That ......"

Trelawney seemed to want to say something more, but was interrupted again by Opal - it was clear that Opal was beginning to get a little tired of Trelawney's pestering: [I have something to do, forgive me for my leave.] ]

Then came the sound of hurried footsteps, and before Harry could find a place to hide, Opal, who had already turned the corner, met him.

[Ah, Harry, good morning.] ]

Arching an eyebrow, Opal tilted his head at Harry with his usual smile, "Ready to go back to Gryffindorta?" ]

"yes, it's not like you don't know that I don't have a guardian's signature."

Although he knew that Opal must have known that he had only heard it, but seeing that she didn't seem to want to mention it, Harry was also very kind, "If I remember correctly, you have an appointment at Hogsmeade today, right?" ”

[Actually, the guardian's signature or something, if Harry really wants to go, you can forge it.] ]

Opal's expression was unbearable, [If you're afraid of Mr. Filch, who is guarding the door, is your invisibility cloak an ornament?] ]

"Hey, Hey, ......"

Rows of black lines popped up behind Harry's head - did he hear him right? The good baby Opal turned out to be ...... Unexpectedly......

[But Harry, you don't want to go, do you?] ]

However, Opal then smiled slightly mischievously as he held the book in his arms, [Otherwise, with Harry's personality, you would have slipped out long ago.] ]

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ahaha......"

In fact, Harry, who didn't think that he still had an invisibility cloak to use, froze for a moment, and finally could only laugh dryly, "Then I won't delay you." Forget what Professor Trelawney said, forget it. ”

[Well, trust Professor Trelawney, I'd rather listen to Philemerald's nagging.] ]

After a small grumble, Opal stuck out his tongue at Harry as if he had reacted, [Keep this a secret for me!] I'll go first. ]

"Have fun."

Looking at Opal's back as he left, Harry finally couldn't help but sigh, but then the corners of his mouth curled.

Forget it, this time he should go back to Gryffindor Tower and stay honestly, since Opal has already provided him with such a useful method, he should make good use of it next Hogsmeade Week.

I'm sure Hermione and Ron will be happy to help him cover! (Celestial sound: Harry, you're dark...... οΌ‰

======================I'm the ====================== of the dividing line for the switching scene

Hogsmeade, England

、

"Opal, you're really slow."

In the vicinity of the "Honey Duke" in Hogsmeade, Autumn, who had already occupied a good position with Cedric, spotted Opal far away and beckoned her to pass.

[No way, I was thinking of coming early, but I ran into Professor Trelawney on the way.] ]

Scratching his hair a little embarrassed, Opal smiled shyly, [Or I'll treat you to something to eat as reparations?] ]

"No wonder it's late. It takes a lot of time to get found by Professor Trelawney. But I don't need you to treat you, I said that this time it was me and Cedric who paid the bill, how could I let you break the bank. ”

Cho smiled softly, then turned his gaze to Cedric, who seemed to be looking at something, "I said Seid, what are you looking for?" ”

"I'm just a little surprised that Draco didn't send you over."

After snapping his fingers and summoning the attendant to come and order, Cedric's handsome face brought a hint of ridicule, "He is really so relieved of you." ”

[I've already told Draco who I'm going to be with, what's not to worry about.] ]

Opal, who felt that he was being underestimated, said indignantly, [You must know that my strength is better than Draco!] ]

If you're a natural guy like you who will help count the money if you're sold, you'll rest assured that there are ghosts! X2

This is the common sentiment of Cho and Cedric.

"Opal, what are you looking at?"

As soon as she finished ordering, Cho noticed Opal standing up with an excited expression, as if she had found somethingβ€”but when she looked at her, it didn't seem to be anything special.

[Senior, I saw an acquaintance, can you bring him over?] ]

After repeatedly confirming that it was not his delusion, Opal felt as if he was about to cry out with joy, [If there is anything you don't understand about the prefect's job, it will definitely be worth it.] ]

"In that case, then we're looking forward to it."

Raising his eyebrows, Cedric, who intuitively seemed to have something interesting to do next, immediately relented, "Opal, you go find him." If the other person is not happy, forget it. ”

[Okay.] ]

Almost as soon as he dropped the words, Opal jumped out like an arrow, and the speed really amazed Cho and Cedric.

I really don't know who she saw to make the usually calm Opal excited...... It can't be her secret boyfriend, right? ”

After retracting his gaze, Qiu teased with interest.

"Won't you know about this kind of thing when someone comes? Yes...... It's really fast. ”

Cedric, who was also full of gossip, smiled softly, "But what is certain is that the platinum young master of Slytherin is probably destined to fall out of love." ”

The Slytherin mascot has a secret boyfriend, and this gossip must be very interesting to the little badgers in their own college, right?

、

"I'm going to go, Blaise, am I blind?!"

Pansy, who dragged her new decent boyfriend around and was content to go to Duke Honey to forage for food, rubbed her eyes in disbelief as soon as she walked to the square.

She's right?

Opal would be leaning like a bird next to some half-masked man?! Still...... Still coquettish?!

Hey, let me mean, did you two ignore Cho Chang and Cedric on the side?

"Trust Me Pansy......"

And Brace, who was holding her arm, also had a shocked tone, "I think I saw the same thing as you, so ...... It's unlikely that we're dazzled. ”

The two looked at each other for a while, and the light of gossip burst out in their eyes at the same time, and then they secretly approached together.

It's called - help his friend Draco find out the enemy's situation.

You know, although the strange man he has never seen before, although he is just sitting there with a silver-white mask that covers the upper half of his face, but from his awe-inspiring bearing and the casual but free and easy sitting posture, judging by Pansy's experience, he is definitely a super beautiful man above the aristocratic level.

Maybe you wear a mask to prevent harassment, but you can't say it's okay.

Unexpectedly, Opal, who has always been just gentle and polite to outsiders but will distance himself without a trace, can show such a delicate appearance, and the unknown gentleman with half a mask can be seen in the importance of Opal.

Poor Draco, although he is also a handsome little guy, is a complete defeat in terms of bearing and appearance.

And Duke Honey, Opal, who was as habitually nested by Riddle's side as before, unsurprisingly turned on the "cute" attribute that only appeared in front of Riddle, and the lethality immediately increased geometrically - and this alone made Autumn and Cedric breathtaking.

Because he knew that his face was easy to cause unnecessary trouble, Riddle, who was wearing half a silver-white Qi mask with exquisite workmanship according to Vivian's wishes, was kind to Qiu and Cedric, who were full of gossip curiosity but restrained well.

Originally, he came out this time just because he discovered that his past subordinates had infiltrated Hogsmeade through surveillance, so he came out to collect chess pieces to prepare for the future plan, but he didn't expect to run into Hogsmeade Week at Hogwarts, and he was surprised to meet Opal but also had a faint joy.

Because his silent girl's attitude towards him is always so straightforward and simple, so that he can calm down from the bottom of his heart.

Counting that Opal is now almost 14 years old, he can already be engaged at this age in the wizarding world, he is not unaware of the Malfoys' little ghost's thoughts on Opal, although he has already knocked Lucius, but after all, far water can't save near fire, only by completely branding his silent girl with him, there will be no outsiders coveting.

So he just smiled at Cho and Cedric's side-to-side inquiries, and then revealed that he was "Opal's fiancΓ© in Germany" - and as he expected, Opal had no objection at all.

The Badger House's gossip ability is definitely not to be underestimated, and in fact Ravenclaw is also very keen on it.

So I believe that after the end of Hogsmeade Week this time, there will be many people who secretly covet his silent girl, and they will give up, right?
