Well, I'll admit I'm messing around again. Because the recent setting of the series with Vivien as the protagonist is a bit crazy, so after sorting out the general situation, I merged the two worlds, one as a 27 world, and the other as a parallel world of 270.

The specific situation will be known to me when I compare it after I really open that article in the future.

The current point in time of the world is January 1992, 6 years before the Fifth Holy Grail, and 12 years before the start of the official plot time of the tutor.

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

Gold Coin 10 (upright): Housework.

、

Hogwarts, England

、

Well, she regretted it.

Opal was depressed as he walked down the hallway leading to Headmaster Dumbledore's office.

I should have known that I should have stayed in the library, after all, even if I continued to stare at Draco and admire his endorsement to the point of madness, it was better than being caught by Professor McGonagall when I was about to arrive at the dormitory and sent to Dumbledore's old fox's office to wait for questioning.

If nothing else, at least Draco was much easier to deal with than Dumbledore - at least in terms of the current pattern of getting along, it was usually Opal who drove Draco crazy.

Lately, Opal has been busy with the training plans that Philnet threw her, and she has been dealing with the documents that Draco has handed her that require the head of the grade to sign, and she hasn't even read much of the materials she got back from Vivien - and what makes Opal resentful the most is that she can't even find time to practice cooking because of the relationship between training and processing documents.

So, did she really think of becoming the "head of the grade" when she had a brain pump? (Celestial: Be careful of driving Draco, who already has quite a lot of files for you, mad with that...... ）

After smiling and greeting Mr. Gargoyle with a smile as usual, Opal omitted the password and entered the gargoyle-guarded staircase.

And when she knocked on the door of Dumbledore's office, Opal felt nothing more than a pain in her stomach......

Because by far the last person she wanted to see in the entire school stood at Dumbledore's desk, speaking in his usual flat and sarcastic tone.

“…… So that's probably the case. ”

Perhaps because of the knock on the door, Snape paused slightly and quickly summarized, then his eyes swept over Opal, who had been allowed to walk in, and continued, "The centaurs on the other side of the Forbidden Forest have been summoned to confirm that the attacker this time is 'that person'. Fortunately, due to the intervention of the red-eyed unicorn, only one unicorn cub died, and the unicorns that had been injured before were now basically restored to health under the care of Lord Vivien. In addition, the members of the night patrol were intact except for one student who suffered minor abrasions. ”

Snape looked like he wasn't angry.

Opal swore that by the time Snape said his last words, he would definitely be squeezing the sound out of his teeth.

As for why Snape was angry, do you need to ask?

Panicked and strayed into porcupine territory, thus becoming the only member of the group of students who went to the Forbidden Forest with some flesh wounds, and while Opal admits that Draco is a shame, Snape's tone really looks like you're going to crit down and curse the villain when you go back......

For the next few days, she will mourn the number of rubies in the Gryffindor hourglass.

"Okay, I know you've worked hard during this time."

Dumbledore smiled and summoned a plate of dessert, "Need a sip of tea to calm down?" Well, speaking of which, I still have some cockroach piles to eat here. ”

……

Looking at the pitch-black, cockroach-like, moving black magic fruit hard candy that was lying on the plate that appeared, Opal swallowed quietly and leaned silently against the stand where Fawkes was standing—Dumbledore really did it...... It's not that he didn't know that Snape hated sweets the most.

However, Opal also has to admit that the effect is significant.

As soon as the sweets came out, Snape retreated!

"Miss Opal."

Turning around with an expressionless face, Snape's eyes instantly caught Opal, who was trying to shove himself into the corner.

[Yes, Professor Snape.] ]

Opal, who was named, secretly stuck out his tongue and bowed his head slightly, looking respectful.

[Don't forget that your labor service is not yet complete.] Remember to come to my office to make up for the few days of labor services you owe because of your leave. ]

With that, Snape turned and strode out of Dumbledore's office.

"Hoo ......" X2

The long exhale caused Opal to look at someone in dismay, who was slowly pulling out a handkerchief and wiping the non-existent sweat from his forehead as Snape left.

"All right, Your Highness Princess. I guess you know what I'm here for, right? ”

Seeing Opal looking at him, Dumbledore pointed to the soft seat in front of his desk and smiled, "Sit down and talk slowly." ”

[It's about the female dragon in the Forbidden Forest that day, right?] Maybe add to that what happened in the Forbidden Forest. ]

After a little thought, Opal took a seat on the soft seat and went straight to the point - she was happy to occasionally tease others and make innocuous jokes, but she really didn't like to fight with others at all.

Opal knew very well that if she really wanted to entangle with the old fox in front of her, she would definitely suffer the loss.

"If you don't want to say it, don't force it."

Although he said that, Opal knew that Dumbledore was just talking about it.

[The dragon thing, because it involves a lot of things about Gaia, so it can't be explained.] ]

After pondering the vocabulary for a moment, Opal nodded and exhaled, [And this time in the Forbidden Forest, I've already heard 'it' talk about it, that thing is nothing more than a mass of spirits with autonomous consciousness, not even a 'human'. ]

"It?"

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "It's the red-eyed unicorn that day, right?" ”

[Hmm.] It's just that it's right. ]

Opal, who didn't want too many people to know that his Animagus form was the red-eyed unicorn, nodded dryly, and pushed the matter forward, [It's my best friend in the forest, and it's been told me in detail about what happened this time.] Like I said, the thing that hunts for the blood of a unicorn is really just a spirit with a little consciousness. ]

"Isn't it me......"

Dumbledore muttered, the look on his face not being relaxed or anything else, "So, Your Highness Princess, do you know why that spirit hunts the blood of unicorns?" ”

[Didn't you say that?] That's the instinct of the predatory forces. ]

Opal replied vaguely, and concealed the fact that he had absorbed most of the spirit's power from that one contact that night.

With so much power missing, it is estimated that in at least two or three months, the mass can only cling to its original host, and cannot leave on its own and go out to make waves-so the Forbidden Forest should be able to stay peaceful for a while.

Of course, the power she had absorbed had been carefully preserved by herself—after all, although it was a little strange in nature, it was the power that belonged to Riddle.

When we meet next time, we must return these powers to Riddle.

Dumbledore stared at Opal, who looked calm, and after a moment the blue eyes behind the lenses narrowed with a smile: "Is that so?" I see, thank you for informing us of this, Your Highness Princess. ”

[There's nothing to be thankful for, and I'm sure Headmaster Dumbledore could have looked into these things even if I didn't say anything about them, not to mention that there was nothing to hide from them.] ]

Opal browled an eyebrow and smiled at Dumbledore.

She knew that Dumbledore knew that he was hiding something, although she didn't know why he judged that it didn't matter if it was hiding something - or that it didn't hurt, but after all, he didn't ask for it.

"But the difference between saying and not saying is completely different, isn't it?"

Dumbledore didn't hear the thorn in Opal's words at the time, and said with a smile.

[So, may I ask Headmaster Dumbledore, is there anything else?] ]

Opal, who had judged that the conversation was almost over, got up after eating the last snack.

"Nope."

Letting the house-elf put away the snack plate on the table, Dumbledore looked at Opal, who had already walked to the door, and said, "But about the Forbidden Forest, please ask Her Royal Highness to keep your classmates secret." ”

[This is natural.] After all, I don't want my friends who live in the Forbidden Forest to be disturbed. ]

"That's for the best."

Dumbledore winked at Opal, "So, I can rest assured that some of our cute little ones will continue the night walk, won't I?" ”

…… Can she beat up the old fox?

Knowing that his behavior of going out every night could not hide from Dumbledore's eyes, Opal still felt a little depressed after being exposed to this vague light.

Taking a deep breath and repeatedly admonishing himself to respect his elders, Opal curtsied speechlessly, greeted Fawkes, who was dozing off in a corner of the room, and left Dumbledore's office.

Draco's application should have been submitted to Snape.

Snape's character, her labor service tonight...... Probably those potions that heal the stomach, right?

===================I'm the dividing line for the switching scene====================??? ・The secret land of the lake

、

{So, that's all there is to it.} }

After hissing at what had happened since Riddle's departure, Nagini relaxed and coiled around his wrist.

{I see.} }

Nodding slightly, Riddle leaned back against the comfortable velvet cushions, his azure eyes narrowing slightly, {I didn't expect that even the witch to help this time.} It was a bit of a surprise to me. }

Originally, he was still wondering why his silent girl would suddenly ask him for what he wanted.

Now it looks like it was just an effort to catch up with him.

He wouldn't be asked to stop and wait for her, but would do his best to catch up—hehe, like the choice his silent girl would make.

{Adults are in a good mood right now?} }

Looking at the corners of his master's lips, Nagini made a bold guess.

{It's not your business.} }

The blue eyes narrowed slightly, and gradually changed to a deep gaze, which made Nagini snort and bow his head tamely: {It's a subordinate who has overstepped.} }

How can you forget?

Adults hate it when people speculate about his intentions, after all, it is not Miss Opal.

{You're doing a good job this time, though.} }

Satisfied with Nagini's taming, Riddle moved his fingers slightly to let it slide off his hand on its own, recovering his original body and coiling on the table in front of him, {Tell Opal when I go back, I am not satisfied.} She can keep it until the end of her studies at Hogwarts. }

{Yes.} }

{Other than that......}

After a slight pause, Riddle spoke lightly, {Tell Opal that if she can destroy the Hogwarts spirit, I will reward her.} }

With Miss Opal's character, doesn't this sentence amount to an order for her to complete this task?

Nagini, who had listened to the whole story, muttered in his heart, of course, on the surface he was still tame - but he really didn't want Miss Opal to do such a thing that sounded dangerous!

{Convey the original words, don't do superfluous things.} }

Looking at Nagini's figure on the table with a slight smile and immediately wagging his tail, Riddle waved his hand generously, {Go.} }

{Yes!} }

After shrinking her body extremely quickly, Nagini hurriedly used the portkey to leave Riddle's treehouse.

Woo...... No matter how many times I see him, I feel that the owner is really terrible.

Why did Miss Opal smile so softly when she mentioned her master?

"Finally willing to send that snake away?"

After Nagini left, Vivien, who had been waiting outside the house for some time, pushed the door in from the other side.

"You're idle?"

Glancing at someone entering the room, Riddle raised an eyebrow, "Why does it smell so bloody?" ”

"No way, there is a family that has broken the contract, so it must go to Italy to deal with it."

Exhaling a breath, Vivien seemed to be in a bad mood at the moment.

"What is the family called 'Estoriano'?"

Riddle raised an eyebrow.

"Humans keep repeating the same mistakes, hoping for power that they shouldn't have."

Vivien didn't answer directly, but she acquiesced.

"That's why they say stupid Muggles."

Riddle sneered, "Would you care about this kind of thing?" ”

"I don't care, I just don't think it's a little incomprehensible."

Pinching the wing of her nose, Vivien exhaled, "Only one of the 'reincarnation eyes' that have been wandered out has been recovered, and the other one is missing. Although the person in charge has been resolved, after all, it cannot be eradicated due to the constraints of the rules, and can only be dealt with in accordance with the mafia's principle of silence. Troublesome ......"

I hope that the nine generations of Penglie will not disappoint her now, but this kind of thing is hard to say.

After all, it is an irreversible "inevitable history".

"The last sentence is the truth, right?"

Riddle couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"It doesn't matter. Speaking of which, Riddle ......"

Seemingly losing interest in bickering, Vivien waved her hand as if to brush away something unpleasant, "Forget it, it's useless to ask you about this kind of thing." ”

So what are you talking about here, hey!

A black line is drawn on the back of someone's head.

"All in all, it's good to be power-driven, but don't put the cart before the horse."

After dropping the words, Vivien dropped something on the table and turned away, "Although it was true that I pushed it at the beginning, I still don't understand how such a good boy got on your thief ship. ”

Put the cart before the horse? That kind of stupid mistake is enough for him to make it once.

After removing the file bag that Vivien had left on the table, Riddle tugged at the corners of his lips, and the blue of his eyes became darker.

There is no need for Vivien to say that he knows this kind of thing.

Even if the whole world is on his side, his silent girl will never betray him.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, his fingers gently rubbing the lines in his pocket on the silver ornament from the eight-fold snake.

[Give me the treasure of my life.] 】

Closing his eyes, the silent girl with long moonlight hair seemed to smile at him right in front of his eyes.

Just thinking about it like this, I felt that my heart, which should have been cold and silent a long time ago, gushed out a trace of warmth.

His Silent Girl Huh......

Maybe it's this world that should be destroyed, and maybe he will be compensated.

Treasures?

For him, his silent girl, no one can replace.

Riddle, who closed his eyes, didn't know.

How soft is the curvature of his lips at this moment......
