Hogwarts Slytherin common room

、

Maybe it's because of the agreement between the parties, but in short, in the next few days, Opar felt quite satisfied with the chickens and dogs that went out because of the Gryffindor foursome.

If only I could keep it that way until I could return.

Although he hoped so, Opal himself knew that the idea was nothing more than a whim.

Right now, the Order of the Phoenix and Voldemort are going toe-to-toe, and Gryffindor and Slytherin are almost fighting face-to-face, and they want to protect themselves?

Please stop making trouble!

It is already extremely difficult to minimize one's sense of existence, and this situation is also based on one's own strength and the multiple pressures from the secret realm of the lake.

Although Opal knew that it might be better if she had chosen to join Ravenclaw, the problem was that she didn't want to go to any house other than Slytherin.

So, sometimes there is a price to be paid for sticking to one's own opinions. Especially if you don't have the corresponding strength yet.

[What a hassle.] ]

Looking at the thick stack of documents in her hand, the most important thing Opal wanted to do at the moment was to hug her head and yell twice - because her strength was not enough to deal with the culprit who caused her current dire situation, Sister Qianwei.

She's not a document processor, and she has to review the document reports of Mao Lian who is not the Cappadocia family?!

Is that bastard Gellert eating dry rice over there? He's already back from Middle-earth the last time he went back, hasn't he?

Frowning at the paperwork that shouldn't belong to her for approval, Opal rubbed her aching temples and considered very seriously whether she should send a roaring letter back to remind some people that she was only 11 years old.

She didn't want to die of "overwork" at all, sincerely.

"Got another headache?"

Severus looked up from his book, and when he noticed that Opal didn't look right, he pursed his lips and thought for a moment before taking a small tube of potion from his coat pocket and placing it in front of her.

[Ah, thank you.] ]

Opal, who had never doubted Severus' potion level, rubbed his temples and poured the potions in his test tube in one gulp, [uh...... Severus, don't you really think about improving the taste of potions? ]

It's not as good as Madam Pomfrey on the Medical Wing, but the smell of this potion is really not your average horror.

Of course, the most terrifying thing is probably the potion made by Rosemary's guy - the potion tastes as terrible as it works.

"And then you get potions addiction?"

Glancing at Opal, Severus put the tube back in, "Wait a minute, remember to write down the effect." ”

[Know......Know]

With a wave of his hand, Opal didn't care at all that Severus was treating himself as a guinea pig, [Speaking of which, did Severus go home for the Christmas break this time?] ]

“…… I'm probably going to stay in school. ”

Although he knew that Lily would definitely go back, he ...... He didn't miss his home in Spider Tail Alley at all.

[That's it......]

After thinking for a moment, Opal looked at him with one hand on his temple, "Are you coming to my house for a few days?" ]

Severus was stunned for a moment, instinctively wanting to refuse, but seeing Opal's kind gaze without any discrimination at all, the words of refusal could not be spit out on the tip of his tongue.

Finally, he turned his head a little embarrassed: "I don't think I need you to sympathize with me, Miss Yunic, who is superior." ”

[Is it sympathy to invite your friends to my house to play?] ]

Blinking, Opal's face was innocent, [It's not just you, Lily is coming over too.] ]

“！”

Startled, Severus then turned to look at Opal suspiciously—he wasn't sure if the guy meant to say that.

After all, from the first day he met, he always had the feeling that he was being led by the nose by the guy in front of him, and this feeling has not been diluted to this day.

[Because there are so many things to deal with, it's very, very inconvenient to stay in school.] So I'm definitely not going to be able to stay in school around Christmas. ]

As if sensing Severus's doubts, Opal explained with a smile, [but for various reasons, everyone was scattered.] At Christmas, I'm alone at home, so I want to find a few friends to spend Christmas with me. ]

"I think you have a lot of friends."

Severus scoffed.

[Don't shabble me.] ]

Rolling his eyes in a detrimental way, Opal turned the realization back to the file in his hand, [My friend has no one but you and Lily. Since Lily has already agreed, then you can simply promise me. ]

"You've been ...... lately See Lily? ”

[There's a two-way mirror anyway!] ]

Shrugging his innocents, Opal smiled, [You don't have to meet to say this kind of thing.] Do you want a two-way mirror too? I have a spare here. ]

Anyway, Severus had to be abducted to the manor this Christmas to see if he could get some of the secret potions that had been handed down. Otherwise, why would she go to such great lengths to acquire Prince's manor?

...... "Does he like to be so good at crutching?"

Looking at Opal's sparkling and obviously expectant gaze, Severus twitched the corners of his mouth and turned awkwardly, "Got it." Let's go together on vacation. ”

He's going to be able to connect with Lily. It's not because of anything else! (Tianyin: Professor, you are decisively tsundere.) ）

[Okay, then I'll tell my housekeeper to get ready.] ]

Opal, who had achieved his goal, smiled in a good mood, temporarily put down the document in his hand and went to write a letter, and at the same time waved off the black line + cold sweat on his forehead without a trace.

As she thought, if she wanted to deal with Severus, she had to put Lily in front of him as bait.

You can see that his face was obviously full of reluctance just now, but as soon as he heard that he could get the two-way mirror to contact Lily, he immediately agreed.

Severus, what about your festival? When you met Lily, you threw it all away to feed James? (James: Hey!) Who wants that kind of thing?! Do you want to be so easy to abduct?!

Forget it, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, as long as she can ensure that she can get what she wants.

Thinking of the pile of tasks thrown to her by her own Qianwei Senior Sister, Opal, whose combat power was completely unable to match the other party-it was too heavy to belong to the past, could only choose to swallow her anger.

Anyway, in the end, the Prince Manor still had to be returned to Severus, who had this bloodline, not to mention that with his current situation, there was no way to inherit it properly.

The Prince family, which has been inherited since the time of King Arthur, is now left with only a half-race descendant like Severus, which feels quite tragic.

In fact, she also did a good thing - anyway, she didn't have to pay for the manor, and she only needed to copy a copy of those potion secret recipes, and the value of them could never be measured by money for the benefits that could be obtained in the secret realm of the lake.

Using Senior Sister Qianwei's money to give favors, Opal calmly said that she really didn't have any pressure at all.

Cracking down on local tyrants is everyone's responsibility!

Hogwarts Room of Requirement

、

[So, what's going on this time?] ]

It wasn't until the door of the room closed that Opal reluctantly sat down in the chair of the room, which she was not familiar with, and looked at the door.

"Listen to Lily, you invited her to your house for Christmas?"

Lifting the cloak of invisibility on his body, Jaime looked at Opal's eyes full of accusations, "I want an invitation too!" ”

[No need to talk!] ]

Opal choked directly.

“！”

Jaime, who was choked in an instant, scratched his hair a little irritably, "Why?" ”

[You're equal to Cyris there, and this time I'm not going to invite Lily, but Severus is also there.] ]

With a light snort, the old god Opal replied, [I don't want my house to be demolished by you. Although it's just my temporary residence, it's my foothold after all, and you're really demolishing it, do you plan to let me go to a tavern?! Where would you like to live? ]

Especially in the current context, those idle manors are either owned or monitored, is it easy for her to find a main house of the Prince family that is almost forgotten?

It's not that Opal is squeamish or anything, if something really happens, she can live in the bridge cave, but it hasn't reached that urgent situation yet, and she is naturally unwilling to wronged herself.

With the entire Cappadocia family and the support of Senior Sister Qianwei, Opal can still guarantee that he is so low-key.

"Uh...... Not to the extent of demolishing the house...... Right? ”

Jaime scratched his hair again, somewhat embarrassed.

[Okay, if you catch that messy hair any longer, you're going to go to the coop.] ]

Rolling his eyes, Opal put the information in his hand on the table in the room, [Just stop me a little.] Don't you want to see your family during the Christmas holidays? ]

"What are these...... Hmm, that's a lot of words. ”

Seeing the things that Opal had put down, Jaime leaned in curiously and looked at them, and immediately felt dizzy, "You can really look at these things...... It's not like you can't see your family or something. You'll at least leave Lily for me......"

Anyway, he wants to doze off when he sees it,

[It's my job.] ]

Opal was annoyed and amused by Jaime's words, [and why should I let Lily stay and wait to feed the wolves?] You want to settle Lily first, and you have to see if Lily agrees first, right? If memory serves, Lily sees you no different than she sees cockroaches. ]

"At least not just the slugs."

Jaime says that he is actually very easy to satisfy - the most hated creature in Lily's life is the slug.

Since the last time he spoke to Opal, the relationship between Jaime and Opal has been much better, and at least they can be considered friends—though Jaime insists that he and Opal are more "friends" than friends, because Opal has always damaged him into a scumbag.

Although the scene would usually be very hot when Severus and Opal faced off against the Raider Foursome, Opal and they got along much better in private.

Although Siris still couldn't look at her at first, with Jaime's own insistence and Opal's unsparing blows, basically every time they met, it became Siris's unilateral challenge to Opal - or "looking for abuse" is more appropriate.

Remus's words, because of his own gentle personality, are more reasonable to talk about than Opal. Although he doesn't like werewolves very much, Opal doesn't have the habit of speaking ill of people when someone releases good intentions, so they still get along happily.

As for Peter, this guy's presence is so weak, and he knows what he will do in the future, so Opal will selectively ignore him, intentionally or unconsciously - he himself doesn't care much about it anyway.

As for Severus...... Opal said that this product was born to be incompatible with the robbery quartet, and when they got together, even the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, not to mention that Gryffindor and Slytherin were full of contradictions, if Gryffindor and Slytherin really appeared on the bright side, it would really surprise people's eyes.

So Opal had already given up his plan to persuade him, and at most he secretly lost a few more books such as "General Spell Attack and Defense" and "Three Thousand Potions Techniques", but fortunately, Severus was a hard-working person, so he didn't suffer any big losses. It's just that this body feels pretty ...... Anyway, Opal was already planning to find a way to take care of Severus's physical problems at Christmas.

[……]

Looking at James's expression, Opal was truly speechless - James, your IQ is to add a minus sign in front of you as soon as you see Lily, right?!

"Voti, you're a friend, you have to help me, right?"

Jaime looked at Opal with sparkling eyes, and for a moment she had the illusion of a large dog wagging its tail in front of her.

[Severus will definitely live in my manor, so you must die for the heart that came to visit.] ]

After saying this, Opal looked at Jaime, who had shrunk to the corner of the wall to grow mushrooms in a circle at the moment, and couldn't help the black lines on his head, [But Lily should find time to go shopping on the street, and when the time comes, I'll look at you, okay?] ]

"Really?!"

So someone came back to life in an instant.

[I've heard that the Black family has some very good rare ancient books......]

Silently wiping the black line from his head, Opal began to bargain very calmly - not that she was using Lily, but if she wanted to activate some of the arrangements in the manor, it was really necessary to choose when Lily was away, and I believe that Jaime would definitely use his stalking spirit of "not fighting to death, not scolding and not retreating" to drag Lily outside for a long time.

"No problem, Siris must know where to put it, and when I see Lily, I'll go and steal the owl with him."

Jaime immediately sold his best friend very well.

[…… So is there anything else? ]

After silently lighting a candle for Siris, Opal picked up the materials again.

"Be careful, Bellatrix of the Black family."

Originally, it was just Opal's words as a usual inquiry and farewell, but Jaime said with a serious expression, "Siris said that this cousin of his seems to be looking into something. The Mystery Man's actions have been quite rampant lately, and while there may be some scruples in crowded places, you still have to be careful not to get targeted. ”

[Okay, I see.] ]

Because of the unexpected news, Opal's expression was slightly solemn, and then he nodded, [Thank you.] All I can say on Lily's side is to try to ......]

"Ah, it's good to have this heart."

So Jaime, who had a serious face in the last second, immediately turned into a with a heart blooming in this second, making Opal rub his temples speechlessly and exit the room of requirement.

I really don't want to admit that I know this thing!
