====================================================
Sword 4 (Ortho): Rest and recuperation.
、
Hogwarts Medical Wing
、
By the time Pansy's consciousness came back to consciousness, the light around her was dim.
If it weren't for the warm quilt covering her body, and the smell of potions in the air, she almost thought she was still in the secret room.
She's ...... Saved?
After the still unconscious brain finally reacted to this fact, Pansy's tense nerves finally relaxed. Afterwards...... I can't control my constant trembling body.
Because of fear, but also because of chagrin.
She was afraid, and she was also annoyed by her rash thoughts at the time - she had already confirmed the fact that she was not the "protagonist", but she still wanted to use her own strength to solve the so-called "trouble".
And the result is ...... almost lost his own life.
What happened was completely different from the "plot" in her memory.
First of all, the black journal was not in Ginny's hand, but ran into the hands of the naturally confused Opal, but fortunately, after the first petrification incident, he found an opportunity to steal the journal and throw it to the Gryffindor Tower, and then watched Ginny pick it up. Later, I didn't see Opal and said that he was looking for this diary, and he was glad that the plot was finally back on track.
Then, when the petrified victims appeared again after the beginning of spring, she thought that going to Ginny would easily convince her to dispose of the journal, and if she could, she might be able to end the event of the second year without any danger. But Percy, who could only be regarded as a trick in the original plot, seemed to care a lot about his sister, and kept guarding her against her like a thief, so that she, a Slytherin, could never find a chance to make proper contact - until some time ago, it seemed that Ginny herself couldn't stand it, and ran away by herself after colliding with Percy for the first time.
What she didn't expect, however, was that all the contents in Ginny's hands were not only the black journal she had deliberately left behind, but also the Ravenclaw Crown that she had accidentally found in the universal room in order to avoid the Slytherin students who were bullying her, and which was supposed to appear later in the school year.
And what she didn't expect was that whether it was a diary or a Ravenclaw crown, it was not a "Horcrux" as described in the novel she wrote, but just a container used to hold memories, not even a "seal".
What's even worse is that Tom Riddle's memory fragments, which should only belong to Voldemort's past, absorbed the magic that was gathered from somewhere and formed something similar to a spirit, instead of the split "soul fragments" described in the novel, which made all the defenses she had made on her body immediately become a joke.
Even so, she only remembered a few words to Ginny, when she suddenly took out the Ravenclaw crown and put it on her head. The memories after that were complete nightmares, probably because of the mechanism of body protection, she couldn't remember it clearly.
But the fear and horror of Voldemort still feels deep in the bone marrow.
Fortunately, I was cautious enough to extract the memories of the "plot" before the action, save it in the "meditation basin" that I specially brought with the family, and lock it. Otherwise, she really didn't know and didn't dare to think about what the situation would turn out to be.
Since she's in the medical wing now, it means that everything is over, but I don't know what happened to Opal and Harry now.
Just when Pansy couldn't move, she could only think about it, but suddenly heard someone open the door.
Who is it so late?
Pansy froze for a moment, adjusting her breathing and pretending to sleep, and then she heard the sound of small, somewhat heavy footsteps, and a moment later Opal's distinctive voice rang out: "How about Harry, is you at ease now?] I told Ginny and Pansy were going to be fine, they were just overly frightened. ]
Ha?!
Pansy almost jumped straight out of bed - how could Opal and Harry get together to do the same? What about Draco?
"Thank you Opal......"
Then Harilo's apologetic voice rang out, "Because Professor Dumbledore doesn't want me to get out of bed and move, I can only make a decision for the first time, thank you for helping me." ”
[It's nothing, I happen to be worried about Pansy's condition too.] You must know that Bress guy has been locked up recently and can't come out for activities, and he is scratching his ears and cheeks with worry. ]
With this voice, the veil beside Pansy's bed was lifted, and Pansy closed her eyes and tried to keep her breathing steady, [Looks like she's recovering well, Madam Pomfrey's treatment is working.] ]
Speaking of Opal...... What the hell was going on that night? Does Pansy and Ginny really matter? ”
[Just a coma caused by too much magic and energy, Harry, you have to trust Madam Pomfrey's diagnosis.] ]
Opal's voice paused slightly, and then Pansy's veil was lowered again - which made Pansy quietly relieved, and then listened more attentively to what Opal and Harry were saying, [Speaking of which, Harry would have thanked you, if it weren't for you that night, I guess Draco and Blaise would have been wiped out.] ]
"Ah...... Well, I didn't actually do anything. It's just that I didn't expect it...... That Tom reacted like that when I actually hugged him...... Professor Dumbledore said it was a protective charm from my mother......"
Harry's voice was slightly cramped, "But...... But if it weren't for Draco and Blaise trying their best to get Tom's attention, I wouldn't have succeeded. Uh-huh, and I'm sorry about Ron, I didn't expect him to delay so long to give the note to Professor Dumbledore for revenge. ”
God, what did she hear? This doesn't conform to the plot and logic at all!
Pansy felt dizzy for a while, thinking that the sun would definitely come out of the west today--this time it wasn't Harry and Ron, so why did Opal, Brace, and Draco go together? Didn't this combination really start fighting directly on the road?!
[It's nothing, but the end result is good, and I've gained a lot of valuable experience from it.] ]
Opal's voice was as soft and gentle as ever, and the mere sound of it could make you feel that your fidgety and nervous mind could be relaxed—even Pansy was no exception.
"That...... Draco: Are they alright? ”
Harry seemed a little hesitant when he said this, and there was a bit of reluctance in his tone, "Although people have come to visit in the last two days, you also know that they never talk about Slytherin...... Well, help me thank them. If it weren't for them at that time......"
[Draco and Brace?] Except for the trauma to my self-esteem, everything else is fine. ]
There seemed to be a hint of a smile in his voice, but Opal's tone was still soft, [Okay, now you've seen it.] Madam Pomfrey had also said that the two of them would be awake by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. Harry, your own body has just recovered, so go back and rest. ]
"Hmm...... Anyway, thank you Opal. ”
[I didn't do anything to be thankful for.] ]
"No, you've helped me a lot since I was in first grade."
Harry's voice was a little shy, but firm, "And I've learned a lot from you. I thank you for that alone. In the future, I will try to change some things. ”
[Is there any?] ]
The doubt in Opal's voice was definitely not fake, but it was this sentence that made Pansy lying on the bed couldn't help but smile - it was such a confused and somewhat natural Opal who was the one they knew her.
"If I say yes, I am."
Harry's voice also had a faint smile, "Okay, as you said Opal, I'm going back to the ward too, it's okay for you to go back like this, right?" ”
[Rest assured, night outings are probably only often caught by Gryffindor students.] I still have a good relationship with Mr. Filch, and even if he sees this kind of thing, he will turn a blind eye and let me go back as soon as possible. And there is also a secret passage on the medical wing that can go directly back to the cellar, so rest assured. ]
Although she couldn't see it, Pansy could imagine that Opal's slightly smug expression at the moment must be cute—speaking of which, she could get along with Filch, who was not close to anyone...... Should it be said that Opal's charm and popularity have really broken through the sky?
"Well, then I'll go back first."
Harry's voice weakened, followed by the sound of footsteps leaving and the sound of the door opening and closing. Just as Pansy breathed a sigh of relief, a mature male voice that sounded familiar sounded sounded: "Opal, haven't you slept so late?" ”
Hey? Who?!
Pansy was shocked - could it be that there was someone else in this room? I didn't feel it at all......
And what's even more bizarre is that Opal didn't make any noise in the face of this question, and just when Pansy was secretly on guard, the male voice sounded again: "Medical wing? What are you running there for? ”
Alas? What's going on?
"It's good not to rest, and I'm doing superfluous things......"
The male voice was silent for a moment, then it sounded again - and then Pansy realized that Opal was probably using magic items to communicate with others, and that time of silence was supposed to be how she was showing herself.
"yes, I see. I've already heard the kid say it this time, and you're doing a great job. ”
The kid? Who is it?
"Finish that batch of documents as soon as possible, and then take the time to bring it back with the portkey."
File...... Still redundant? It wouldn't be the last time I saw in Opal's room the pile of papers that were enough to crush someone, right? Couldn't this person communicating with Opal be the man with his eyes closed last time he saw at Draco's house?
"That's it."
The room was quiet again, and Opal left the room with an inaudible sigh - and it was only now that Pansy breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he knew that Opal's character had always cared about this kind of thing, it was not good to pretend to be asleep and eavesdrop, but fortunately he was not discovered.
Merely...... When did Opal get on such good terms with Harry? It sounds like the two of them have crossed paths since they were in the first grade.
From this, it can be determined that Opal is indeed the so-called "protagonist" in this fandom...... I just don't know whether the so-called author is his own mother or stepmother...... (Celestial Voice: ...... )
After thinking about this matter, Pansy gradually fell asleep.
========================I'm the dividing line for switching scenes=================??? ・The secret land of the lake
、
As soon as Opal returned to his room, he eagerly grabbed the documents that had already been processed and used the portkey to return to the secret realm of the lake.
As a result, as soon as he recovered from the portkey's spatial transformation, Opal saw the person he wanted to see the most, so he almost immediately wagged his tail and pounced.
"I didn't get a good rest."
Riddle, who was leaning on the recliner in the room and dealing with the documents that had accumulated during this time due to someone's absence, but at the moment of spatial fluctuations, Riddle already knew who was coming, sighed a little helplessly, and raised his hand just to catch the silver-haired girl who threw herself into his arms.
When did you develop this habit of greeting people?
But forget it...... Anyway, from the current point of view, his silent girl is only for him.
[Isn't Riddle the same?] ]
Sticking out his tongue, Opal rubbed himself in Riddle's arms before leaving satisfied, and began to sort out the documents he had brought with him, [By the way, what about Nagini?] I haven't seen any of it since I sent it back last time. ]
"It's in special training."
It would be petrified and delay the task he had given it, but that kind of little training was just a small punishment.
[That's it......]
Almost immediately, he made a good excuse for Riddle's words, and Opal shrugged his shoulders unconcernedly, [Being able to train means that its body must be better, great.] ]
"How's it going at school?"
Leaning back into the recliner in his room, Riddle watched Opal busily sort through and sort the papers—and by the way, swept away the papers he had placed on the table, and a faint warmth welled up in his blue eyes.
[Well, many, many things have happened.] Riddle must have heard what Nagini said, right? ]
"Only partially."
Riddle casually shifted his gaze from Opal's body back to the document in his hand, "Tell me about it. ”
[Ah...... I'm afraid it will take a long time to talk about it. ]
After tilting his head and thinking for a while, Opal looked at Riddle, his blood-red eyes full of inquiry, [Can Riddle wait for me to finish the paperwork first?] ]
"It doesn't matter."
After replying like this, Riddle looked at Opal's busy figure as he turned around, his blue eyes narrowing slightly.
His silent girl is now more and more responsible, although this is also what he hoped and asked for before, but at this moment, it is rare to see his silent girl put his business first and give him a cold side...... It seems complicated.
Although he was petrified by the basilisk, Nagini had been magically transformed after all, but his body was unable to move, and his consciousness was still awake. So he already knows a lot of things.
This includes the Chamber of Secrets, the journal, and the fact that Opal and the immortal boy of Gryffindor work together, and even the fact that his Silent Girl killed the basilisk alone at the end.
But so what?
After all, what he knew was only what Nagini told him. And he, wanting to hear his silent girl tell him personally.
That's all.
Just as he was determined that even if his Silent Girl knew she was Voldemort, she would choose to stand by his side - because this was his Silent Girl.
[Done!] ]
Just when Riddle was deserting here, Opal had already finished sorting out the pile of documents, and jumped to the edge of Riddle's recliner, and then snuggled into his arms contentedly, and found the most suitable position for himself as before, and then did not move, but his eyes remained on the documents in Riddle's hand, [Does Riddle continue to read the documents?] ]
"It's just something that doesn't really matter."
Hearing the little tricks of his silent girl, Riddle was stunned, and then put the document in his hand on the small table next to him, and touched Opal's long silver-white hair, which was smooth as satin, "So...... Is there anything you want to tell me? ”
[There are a lot of them...... Well, let's start with when I went shopping in Tumbledown Alley, Riddle, you know what......]
The magic she had gathered from Ravenclaw's crown had been purified and all that Opal had fed back to Riddle after purification, so she was just squinting into his arms like a docile little beast, babbling about what she had been through.
She speaks, and he listens.
As in the past, this is a warmth and tacit understanding that only belongs to two people.
