No.20 Gold Coin Queen (Reversed)

This chapter exploded the word count again, which directly led to the confrontation between Opal and Diary-kun to the next chapter

But I've finally dealt with Pansy's mentality, and sure enough, my pen skills still need to be exercised again, otherwise there wouldn't be this kind of plot rampage - fortunately, it was finally pulled back.

I really hate the plot and embarrassment......

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

Gold

Queen (reversed): A beautiful but fragile illusion.

Hogwarts Slytherin common room

“…… So, it's funny that Opal didn't see the Weasley kid at that time. ”

At the end of dinner, in the Slytherin common room, Draco, who had been in a good mood because of his participation in the training of the Quidditch team and seeing Ron's misery, was in a good mood to talk to Opal about the interesting things that had happened during the day.

[It's the same with Draco now, isn't it?] ]

While writing the homework assigned by the teacher, Opal listened to Draco's words, interjecting from time to time to indicate that he was indeed listening carefully, rather than just finishing his homework.

"How can it be the same, there are some things that are relayed and a lot less fun."

Draco disagreed, "Speaking of which, what did Opal do this afternoon?" Hear someone say it looks like that scruffy half-blood half-giant in the forest is looking for you? ”

[Well, it's a Halloween dinner party that requires my help growing pumpkins for decoration.] ]

"Why are you still looking for that kind of thing?!"

Seemingly choked by Opal's answer, Draco's face turned ugly at the moment, "Opal, you're just too good-tempered to be bullied." ”

Brace and Pansy, who were also doing their homework on the side, were sideways when they heard the words - it is true that they are good-tempered, but Opal is always bullied? That's why Draco, a fan of the authorities, thinks so, right? It would be nice to know that Opal didn't bully people.

In fact, she always felt that even if Opal bullied others, I am afraid that the person who was bullied would give first priority to whether he had done something wrong......

Pansy, who was deserted on the one hand, didn't know that her thoughts were true in an instant.

[It's just a handy thing anyway.] Draco, you're making too much of a fuss. ]

Opal good-naturedly soothed the already fried Draco, closed the homework he had done in front of him, and then took the folder on the other side and flipped through it.

“…… It's okay to be nosy, right? ”

Draco, choked by Opal's breezy tone again, rolled his eyes, but his attention shifted to the folder that Opal was flipping through, "What are you looking at?" It feels like it looks so old. ”

[It's a history of Slytherin, and I'd like to look up some people's information because of something.] ]

As he scanned the document in his hand at a fairly fast pace, Opal replied casually.

"But Offal, haven't you been to the archives before? Why didn't you find it? ”

Pansy remembered the time Apal released Draco's pigeons not long ago, and said a little strangely.

[Well, I don't know why.,The student's file I wanted to check had an adapted Loyalty Spell.,Unless you know the secret words set in the first place.,I can't read it at all.] ]

"An adapted spell of daring loyalty? Which student is so good? ”

As she leaned over the edge of the table to reach Opal for the homework she had done, Pansy followed her words.

[Tom Marvolo Riddle.] ]

"What?!!!"

Completely unprepared, after hearing the name that thundered after watching Harry Potter, Pansy slid and flipped straight under the table, bringing down the people around him.

"Bang knock!" "Bang!"

"Pansy, why are you so careless?"

Brace, who was sitting on the side and was affected by the pond fish, rubbed his arm and got up from the ground, picked up the chair and stretched out his hand to Pansy, who was lying on the ground, "Are you okay?" ”

"Shhh...... Painful ......"

Rubbing her chin and waist as she slammed into the corner of the table and the chair, and then Brace helped her get up from the overturned table and chair, Pansy wished what she had just heard was just a hallucination, "Opal, you just said you were looking up which student's information?" ”

[Tom Marvolo Riddle.] ]

Looking at Pansy's appearance, a thoughtful glint flashed in Opal's blood-red eyes, but he still had a very puzzled look, [Pansy, do you know this person?] Why is there such a big reaction? ]

Know...... Of course she knew, how could she not know?

Pansy silently flowed through her heart.

In fact, as long as you have watched the second part of "Harry Potter", there is no one who does not know that this Slytherin brother whose name can be regarded as a rotten street is the famous Voldemort in the future.

But the question is, can she say such a thing? Can you say that?!

"Yes, yes, but I'm more curious about how you thought of looking up this person's information, Opal."

Rubbing her chin, Pansy reached for a cup of teacup and drank water to suppress her shock, and at the same time quickly used her brain, trying to figure out how to reveal what she knew without a trace, and it was best to scare the occasionally slightly confused guy in front of her away in advance - although Pansy also knew that this could be infinitely close to nothing.

[Well, because I picked up a journal and it says it's Tom Marvolo Riddle's diary.] And I can also say that the ink I used to sign belongs to the head of the grade. ]

"Poof! cough, cough, cough ......"

Pansy had just drunk the water in her mouth and instantly squirted back into the cup, choking and coughing.

Opal, do you dare to be a little more aura?!

Found a diary that is one of the Seven Horcruxes in the academy?! It's only been a week since school started, and the plot hasn't developed to the point where Ginny threw her notebook into the women's bathroom, right?!

At this moment, Pansy is completely Spartan inside, and the most she wants to do is grab Opal's collar and yell "Who are you holy" - if it weren't for the fear of goofs......

"Pansy, what the hell is going on with you? As for such a shock? ”

Because Pansy's reaction was so strange, this time it wasn't just Blaise, even Draco looked at her a little strangely, "Is there something wrong with this person?" ”

"It's not that there's a problem......"

Grabbing her hair, Pansy pulled over her chair and sat down again, "Opal, can you take out that journal for us to see?" ”

[It's not impossible...... But Pansy, don't dodge my question, okay]

With one hand on his chin, Opal's blood-red eyes looked at Pansy with interest, [Look at Pansy's reaction, you must know this person, right?] ]

"I know yes. But in fact, I'd rather I didn't know at all. ”

With a black line on her head, Pansy, who had unsuccessfully diverted the subject, took the piece of paper on one side with some resignation, and then wrote on it, "Tom Marvolo Riddle (Tom Marvolo Riddle) Marvolo· Riddle)" and then wrote "I am Voldemort (I·am· Lord· Voldemort)" these four words, "Now you know why I reacted the way I did, right?" ”

"Shhh X2

Draco and Blaise, who were watching Pansy's movements, gasped in unison, while Opal frowned, "Pansy, how do you know this?" ]

"The exact origin of this message has been cursed with the Absolute Loyalty, but I can guarantee its accuracy with my life."

Pansy smiled bitterly and pointed to her throat at Opal's expected question, "But what I can't say can't be said even if I want to." ”

[That's it...... What a pity. ]

Although he knew that the message that Pansy had revealed had absolutely nothing to do with the Cruelty Loyalty Curse, Opal also knew that it was very rare for Pansy to be able to say such a message, so he did not continue to pursue it.

"You even think it's a pity?"

Seeing Opal's puffed mouth, Pansy, who was already in a cold sweat, finally couldn't help but roll her eyes, and directly reached out to pinch her face, "You don't know that half of my life was scared off just now!" It's good to mention that person, Opal, you're definitely too long, aren't you? ”

"That's it...... Opal, I look at that so-called diary, if you can lose it, you should throw it away as soon as possible. ”

Brace, who hadn't come to his senses until now, rubbed his temples, "I always feel that if that kind of thing is left around, it will cause quite a lot of trouble." ”

"That's right, can things related to 'that person' be moved around casually?"

Pansy did not object to Brace's proposal this time, but raised her hands and feet in agreement, "We don't need to take out that diary to show us, if you can throw it away, you should throw it away as soon as possible!" ”

"It shouldn't be okay just to see, right? It's a big deal to just throw it away. ”

Draco was clearly focused on another aspect.

[Relax...... It's just that the diary is not a big deal. ]

Rubbing Pansy's red face, Opal muttered in a voice that only their table could hear, [not to mention that I was just curious about who Tom Riddle Marvolo was.] As for the reaction, is it so big? ]

Anyway, now she already has an opal necklace suspected to be related to Voldemort, doesn't she?

As for Pansy, Brace, and Draco, their reactions...... Well, she admits that she underestimated the influence of the name, but she's not a prophet, so how could she have known that the name could have come from so much.

But...... Riddle is Voldemort? Or is it just a duplicate name?

It would be nice to see this "Tom" in person.

"Nonsense, if you don't react much, then you can't be considered a person in the wizarding world at all!"

Patting her little heart, which had been scared for various reasons, Pansy rolled her eyes at someone's "you have to be cheap" words, "So Opal, you other, don't always test our hearts." It's rare for Blaise to be right, you better throw away that journal as soon as possible. ”

"Hey, hey! What do you mean I'm not right once?! ”

I don't know if it's to adjust my mood, anyway, Brace, who was sitting on the side, almost immediately exploded at Pansy's words.

"Am I wrong?"

Squinting at the past, Pansy snorted from inside her nose, "You're usually the one who is the most thorough in the soy sauce party." ”

Think about it, she really failed as cannon fodder, as if her sense of existence was higher than that of Brace, which was inconsistent with her original firm passerby A route...... Well, be sure to find a chance to correct it.

"Uh...... Soy Sauce Party ...... I say Pansy, what does that mean? ”

Hearing a term that he had never heard before, not only Brace, but even Draco was a little dizzy, but Opal blinked, and it was easy to choke back the smile back into his stomach.

"It means...... Ahh......hhh I don't know what to say! Anyway, don't worry about this for now......"

Pansy, who was still thinking of explaining in passing, suddenly thought of the difference in cultural levels, and almost broke out in a cold sweat again to turn the topic away, "Opal, no matter what, that diary must be lost!" ”

[Yes Yes Yes...... Isn't it okay if I lose it when I get back? ]

Shrugging his shoulders a little helplessly, Opal replied full of helplessness, but he made up his mind that when he went back, he must find a way to get something out of the diary first.

And until then......

"Why do I always have an Opal you won't take ......" ("Pansy!"). ”X2)

"Uh, okay okay, we're just suggesting. It's up to Opal to do that. ”

Pansy, who was about to say, "I'll supervise you to throw away that journal", was suddenly stopped by Draco and Brace, and after seeing Opal's gaze as if casually, she was stunned for a moment, and then immediately changed her words with a pale face.

Just ...... Was it her delusion?

It wasn't cold or murderous, but Pansy felt as if her heart was being grabbed by something in an instant, but Brace and Draco around her were completely unaffected.

[I see, really, Pansy, you're too worried.] ]

Over there, she didn't seem to pay any attention to Draco and Brace's interjections, and Opal was still completely helpless - as if the suffocating gaze of Pansy just now didn't belong to her, and everything was just Pansy's hallucination.

But Pansy knew very well that the gaze was not an illusion of her own—it was a reminder from the superior to the inferior.

"Opal, you're not right. Draco definitely cares more about you than Pansy, I can pack that...... Oh! Draco, what are you stepping on me for! ”

Someone who accidentally told the truth was rightfully stepped on.

"You talk a lot!"

A certain named platinum young master is standard annoyed and angry at the moment.

[Huh?] ]

And someone naturally tilted his head and looked puzzled, maintaining his usual natural stupid performance.

The atmosphere between the four of them almost immediately returned to the harmonious and good state it had been at the beginning—as if the discussion about the names and the diary had not happened at all.

Ha...... It turned out that she was really too naïve.

Bowing her head slightly, Pansy's gaze fell on the parchment roll in front of her, and she smiled bitterly inwardly.

Because of Opal, Brace, and Draco's friendliness to her, the idea of "interfering in the plot" that she had planned to suppress in her heart was about to move, but she forgot that as the heir of the family, even if she behaved as a simple person, she still didn't know how to interfere with the other party's decision.

But luckily...... The other party is Opal, who doesn't care much about these things......

This made Pansy feel fortunate and at the same time deeply sad, as she recognised her powerlessness against the world.

Those "unnecessary" memories, let's ask Opal another day if there is a way to deal with them.
