Everyone's forgiveness

Sword 5 (upright): A dark cloud in the shadows.
、
Hogwarts, England
、
The speed of time is always relative.
For Opal, who has regained his health, his daily life is basically the same as going to class, doing homework, the library, the moon lake, and the dormitory. The middle is occasionally dotted with small waves of Slytherin and Gryffindor rivalry between Slytherin and Gryffindor.
In between classes, I went to the medical wing to have afternoon tea with Madam Pomfrey, and by the way, I helped with the preparation of medical potions; After finishing his homework and sorting out his course notes in the evening, if he had a whim, he sneaked out and met and chatted with Snape as a unicorn, contacted him by the way, and then watched Filch catch the "mouse" and catch the house chicken and dog on his return.
On Saturdays and Sundays, he dragged Draco to the library to borrow books and take notes, and if the weather was good, they went to the Moon Lake to read books together; Occasionally, he would chat with Fred after Quidditch training - and occasionally George would come with him - and exchange pranks, materials or ideas.
As for the weekday classes, watch Draco raise his chin to provoke Ron, who has a quick temper, and then work with Harry and Hermione to separate the two of them before they develop into a mutual duel; Then it's a matter of answering the teacher's questions and adding rubies to your house's hourglass for scoring - of course, it would be ideal if you could trap Gryffindor fewer hourglass rubies at the same time.
It is worth mentioning that, with the help of the Headmaster, who is obviously eccentric and seems to hate Harry Potter for some reason, the Slytherin Cubs - in the first year alone - have been "brilliant" in their battles with the Gryffindor Cubs.
And these are the many little pleasures of a calm life for Opal. But the most interesting thing for her was taking Professor Snape's Potions class.
It can be said that since he learned in the form of a unicorn that Snape was stern on the outside and actually a sullen and awkward guy, no matter how much Snape spat venom, Opal could automatically filter out the unpleasant parts of someone's words and then understand them according to his own meaning.
For example, when Snape says, "Why are you so happy to watch your classmates show their ugliness?" I'm going to deduct X points from you for your conceit," and in Opal's ears, it automatically translated, "I want to remind you that when you are doing potions testing, any change in the external environment may cause the potion to fail." Therefore, even if you are preparing potions, you must devote a part of your mind to pay attention to changes in the external environment to prevent danger."
Or, "Do you really think that you have 'tenacious magic' on your hands by a high-level enchanter that you are foolish enough to use your hands to test the temperature of a potion?" XXXX Academy, deduct X points", hearing Opal's ears, it automatically translates to "use your eyes, your nose to decide what to go next, instead of acting recklessly to make a mess of things". (Celestial note: The above argument is from the awkward professor in Siren's Harbor "Vacation at Hogwarts", a great HP fanjin.) )
With such a powerful simultaneous translation, Potions class was quite easy for Opal - even because of her own interest in potions, it became her most anticipated class, and there was no "one".
Of course, without affecting the overall situation, secretly helping Harry cheat, and then watching Professor Snape change his face, is also Arguably the most anticipated "fun" of Opal in Potions class - especially since Professor Snape seems to be on the same bar as Harry, and must call Harry's name in every class to let him get up and plant candles.
So, Professor Snape is really cute.
This was Opar's heartfelt thoughts—perhaps because the way the contact had been done in the first place, and forgive her for not being able to see him as a father.
For Opal, Snape's presence was more appropriate than a "father" and more of a "friend."
Then again, Draco didn't know anything about Opal's argument.
In fact, given that Opal had previously told him about similar Potions lessons, it took Draco quite a while to pick up the chin that had fallen to the ground and put it back.
So with his love for his classmates at Slytherin, Opal decided to wait until the right time to drop the bomb (Celestial: Mo, didn't little Ornai think about rotting this idea in his stomach?). Anyway, the effect of this argument has already been experimented with on the Gryffindor twins.
In fact, Draco couldn't be blamed for reacting to Opal's words. After all, even Draco, who was Snape's godson and received his mentorship from an early age, found it painful to take Potions classes - if it weren't for the belief that Gryffindor House could be unlucky - let alone enjoy Potions classes.
"So, in fact, Opal, you're a freak in a sense."
That was Draco's last assessment of the subject.
Of course, after saying this, he covered himself in his dormitory room for the whole weekend - for no other reason, you can't expect a platinum nobleman who attaches great importance to his image and appearance to be cheeky enough to run outside with a pimple on his face, right?
As for the aftermath of the incident, Opal smiled and exchanged information with the Gryffindor twins at Moon Lake...... Ahem, let's ignore it selectively.
For Gryffindor's twins, Fred and George, the presence of Opal also meant that their gizmos had better test subjects and more room for improvement—because of Opal's skill in making potions, the effectiveness of their potions had more than doubled.
As for Opal, although her daily expenses are reimbursed by the centaurs of the Forbidden Forest, she herself is not averse to relying on her own ability to stand on her own and use prank potions to earn some living expenses - after all, experimental materials and utensils are still more expensive.
Of course, for the sake of safety, Opal's contact with the twins is relatively secretive, after all, Opal knows very well that although Draco, the little platinum nobleman, has a strange attitude towards her, if she does come into contact with the "demon twins" at the top of the "Slytherin Most Hated People List" in public......
Comforting a child is a time-consuming and laborious task, isn't it?
==================== I am ================= dividing line of the passage of time
Although life at Hogwarts has always been peaceful, for some reason, Opal always has a vague feeling that something is quite wrong.
Now Hogwarts, it feels like the calm before the storm, and the tranquility is somewhat unusual.
Something unseen was faintly changing in the shadows.
Opal is absolutely sure of this.
Because the first thing she confirmed was that the magic fluctuations in Professor Quillo's body that made her feel a little familiar had completely transformed into a curse-like existence that made her instinctively disgusted to the extreme.
And, I don't know if it's Opal's mental effect, she always felt that she could smell a faint smell from Professor Quillo's body that resembled the smell of decomposing corpses and the smell of blood.
Professor Quillo is a living person, right? But why does it smell like it seems to come from people who have been dead for a while? And the smell was so strong that he couldn't even cover the smell of garlic on his body.
The smell was undoubtedly a torment for Opal, who had a keen sense of smell and perception - especially in the Defense of the Dark Magic class, when Professor Quillo walked past her, he would make Opal sick for a long time every time.
As a direct result of this situation, Opal had to try to lean into a corner that Professor Quillo couldn't walk to every time he took Defence Against the Dark Arts class, and although Draco was also awkward and considerate in choosing a location close to the window, but after each class, Opal still felt that he felt like running 8,000 meters in 25 minutes without using magic assistance.
Secondly, the animals in the Forbidden Forest began to become restless because they didn't know if they felt something—but every time Opal went to Moon Lake at night to communicate with the animals and plants, they all said that they didn't know what was wrong, and they just complained to her that they felt bad. Opal had to find a way to calm the creatures who were starting to get agitated due to lack of sleep—which had led to the recent increase in the number of "boosting potions" she was taking in the morning from one to five.
But if this continues, I'm afraid that before she finds out the cause of the animal abnormality in the Forbidden Forest, she herself will not be able to hold it first......
While Opal was eating breakfast and thinking about what improvements she could take, she saw Professor McGonagall walking towards her, so she put down the fried egg she was about to eat and politely got up: [Good morning, Professor McGonagall, is there anything wrong?] ]
"There's something I want to talk to you about."
Professor McGonagall nodded, "If you're done with breakfast, please come with me." ”
[Okay.] In fact, I've eaten pretty much enough. ]
In fact, Opal had already made an appointment with Draco to visit Slytherin Quidditch training today, but now it looks like he is about to miss the appointment.
Opal glanced apologetically at Draco, who was sitting next to her for breakfast, and after shrugging his shoulders and saying "it doesn't matter" and throwing her a "go and get back" look, he wiped his mouth and stood up, [So, let's go.] ]
She then left after Professor McGonagall.
[So, Professor McGonagall.] What the hell is going on? ]
Following McGonagall down the hallway, Opal realized that the two were heading in Dumbledore's office.
The psychological shadow of the previous battle with Dumbledore made Opar pull Professor McGonagall's sleeve a little uneasily, giving full play to his cute appearance to win sympathy points.
"Don't be nervous, Miss Opal."
But it was clear that it wasn't a serious matter, for Professor McGonagall was still in the mood to joke, "It's just that your friend has come to visit, so you don't have to be so nervous." ”
[Oh.] ]
Friend? Who is it?
Obediently let go, but Opal was in doubt at the moment.
、
After greeting the gargoyle guarding the stairs in the headmaster's room, Opal went up alone as usual.
However, after pushing open the door of Dumbledore's office, and seeing the presence in the room, Opal's eyes widened almost in surprise, and he opened his arms and ran over: [Emerald?!] How did you end up here? ]
Standing in Dumbledore's office, the centaur with a milky white body and a handsome appearance, who is not Fei Leng Emerald who watched her grow up in the Forbidden Forest?
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness Opal."
He opened his hand to catch Opal who was rushing towards her, picked her up and looked at her carefully, his eyes full of gentle smiles, "It seems that you are really doing a good life at Hogwarts." So we're all at ease. ”
[How are everyone?] I miss you all! ]
Opal puffed out slightly and complained, "Hogwarts is too strict, I can only get news of you from animals and plants.] I really miss you guys......]
"We miss your Royal Highness the same way."
With a smile, Fei Lengcui gently smoothed Shunopal's hair, "Not long ago, we all knew that you entered the medical wing, and we were all worried about death. ”
[Ah...... That was just an accident. ]
Opal scratched at his hair, giving him an embarrassed look.
At this time, the coughing voice sounded: "Sorry to disturb the reunion of the two of you, but there are still some things we need to discuss." ”
The person who spoke up was Dumbledore, who was sitting behind his desk in his office, smiling at Opal and Emerald.
[I'm sorry, Mr. Principal, but I'm so excited to see my friend.] ]
Opal saluted immediately.
"It's nothing, Your Royal Highness Princess, you are a person of the utmost affection."
After Dumbledore said he didn't care, he said, "Then let's get down to business, Miss Opal, I know you sometimes go out of your dorm room to the Forbidden Forest at night......"
[Because I don't know why the animals of the forest are very disturbed lately, I just want to do my best to appease him.] ]
Opal nodded, acknowledging without a struggle.
"Actually, that's what we're talking about."
Fei Lengcui's expression was very solemn, "If you can, Miss Opal, can you come to the Forbidden Forest at night during this time?" ”。
[Huh?] Why? ]
"This time, Mr. Fei Lengcui came here to inform him about this matter."
Dumbledore tapped on the table and said with a serious expression, "Now in the Forbidden Forest, it seems that unknown creatures have appeared, attacking unicorns - there are already victims. ”
[What do you say!] ]
Opal was stunned, [How could it be!] ]
Attacking unicorns?! Is that guy crazy?!
