No.21 Holy Grail 5 (Upright)

So, nozuonodiewhyyoutry?

Opal, you can admit the reality, the future poisonous version of the professor is entirely because of your self-inflicted →→ at the moment

And if you don't change your EQ, you'll really be a bachelor for the rest of your life......

The pro-generation is once again in love, and like Opal, he lacks the adjustment to see Riddle's spoiling ** Opal's various brushes, and at this moment he is caught in a kind of deficiency called "Kavin......

In the end, I shouldn't have any objection to fast-forward time, right? I feel that the number of chapters in Volume 6 will be surprisingly small......

Holy Grail 5 (upright): Differences in thought.

Hogwarts Library, England

"Silver, Voti, what have you two been up to lately? There is not a single ghost to be seen. ”

In the rare absence of class, the trio who hadn't seen each other for a long time met in the library - of course, accompanied by a pile of homework and N files assigned by the professor.

[Didn't I stand before you properly?] Where did the ghost shadow come from......]

Blinking, Opal, who was flipping through the book and writing his Metamorphosis homework, looked innocent, [Ah no, ghosts don't have a shadow in the first place. ]

“……”

Severus, on the other hand, remained silent, concentrating on his Potions homework.

"Voti, you know that's not what I mean!"

Lily looked at Opal who was pretending to be stupid and stunned, and rolled her eyes that damaged her image, "It's okay if Seaver spends his days studying potions, but what about you?" I can still say hello to Seaver at least occasionally, but you've been missing from me for nearly a semester! ”

[Isn't that something to do?] ]

Opal spread his hands a little helplessly, then took a document from the side and shook it in front of Lily, [Lily, you are not a Slytherin student after all, otherwise you will find me in my dormitory, I have been about to be flooded by the pile of papers for most of the past half a year. ]

So people must not be cheap, she just sighed and felt a little uncomfortable when she was idle, and then she was thrown over by Senior Sister Qianwei with a bunch of documents that were enough to crush an adult man.

By the time she had finally processed the pile of documents, more than half a year had passed.

"What are these?"

Lily was a little curious and reached out to take it, but the document was collected by Opal in time.

[Family Documents.] ]

Pointing to the family coat of arms of roses, bats, and the letter "C" on the cover of the document, Opal sighed, [Naturally the person who awakens the talent of wizards is this good, there are not so many bad things to deal with.] ]

"Huh? What natural awakening? ”

Now it wasn't just Lily, even Severus on the side stopped his movements and looked at her.

[This is related to species genetics, where each species has a fragment of a gene that can awaken the ability to awaken, and the difference is only between dominant and recessive.] What is expressed is whether or not you can use your own abilities. ]

found that Opal, who was not awake at the moment, did not explain clearly, so he simply started popular science, [The so-called pure-blood wizard is just that the genetic fragments in the body are more dominant because of the genetic relationship, otherwise there will be no so-called 'squibs' in those pure-blood families that have magic power but cannot be controlled.] And people whose parents are Muggles themselves but wizards are for some reason make the originally recessive gene fragments in their bodies appear in a dominant state, which is the so-called natural awakening. ]

"I see."

Lily, who felt that her knowledge had increased, was thoughtful, while Severus frowned slightly, "Genetic inheritance? ”

[This is what you call Muggle research, and it must be admitted that Muggles are ahead of the wizarding world in many ways, although they have no magical powers.] ]

At the mention of this, Opal couldn't help but continue to brainwash the two people in front of him - although many things are convenient in the wizarding world because of the possession of magic, it is only a part. Relatively speaking, she still prefers the kind of life in the secret realm of the lake, which mixes magic and modern technology, and even develops corresponding research directions.

Biocrystal nuclei can provide a lot of power far beyond modern energy, and are also quite environmentally friendly, pollution-free, artificially refining life instead of AI and absolutely loyal, assembly line mechanical operations and large-scale cloud bioprocessors ensure the logistics and combat effectiveness of the entire lake secret realm. As for the holographic projection technology that originally existed in science fiction or something, it can be easily done with just a simple mixing magic.

But it's a pity that such a residence and the secret realm of the entire lake are only available to Senior Sister Qianwei, and although the other treehouses have been more or less renovated, they are still not as convenient as the original - Opal, who had rested at Senior Sister Qianwei's residence for a night because he was too busy, but Xiao had been thinking about this for a long time.

"Huh? Is it that powerful? ”

Although they also came from the world of ordinary people, it is obvious that Severus and Lily's age are not yet able to come into contact with this kind of thing, so Opar's statement is just plain unclear.

Alas, with the current level of contempt that wizards have for ordinary people...... There's a long way to go to reverse this perception.

Although he is also a person with ability and status, Opal has never had the consciousness that "he is special", or more clearly, Opal is indifferent to all but certain people. However, it is precisely because of this indifference that things can be viewed more objectively and rationally - and perhaps the residual influence of the memory of the "previous life" that has become quite distant for Opal.

"That's not a reason for you to hang me and Seaver aside, though."

Pinching Opal's cheek, Lily smiled and skipped over the aspects she didn't understand, and instead began to pursue the fact that someone had been "missing" for so long.

[I don't want to, I don't have time...... Lily, you let it go! It hurts! ]

Opal, who was pinched on the cheek and didn't dare to resist, winked pitifully, [And if it weren't for Severus with you, I wouldn't be a magic candle.] ]

Although it is said that if it were someone else, the person who dared to treat her like this, Opal definitely had more than a hundred ways to die without knowing how the other party died, but it was a pity that the person who did this was Lily Evans.

#求助: In the face of someone, there is always an inexplicable weakness of heart that dare not seriously resist the swollen should be broken? I'm in a hurry, I'm waiting online#

"Voti! Did you come to me and Seaver to have anything to do with being a magic candle?! ”

After subconsciously pinching a few more times because of the smooth and soft touch of her subordinates, Lily coughed twice and continued the topic, "Don't fight with me haha, you're not an adult now, no matter how busy you are at work, you won't be busy like this, right?" ”

[I can't explain this because it has something to do with the family......]

With a puff of mouth, Opal very wisely changed the subject, [Why don't you ask Severus that.] ]

After looking at someone who was stopping his homework at the moment and looking in the direction of himself and Lily, with the psychology of "dead friends are not dead and poor", Opal began to pull people into the water without any guilt.

"I told Lily that Professor Horace was tutoring me in Potions."

Severus, who was lying on the gun for no reason, glanced at Opal lightly, and stabbed Opal in the heart with an expressionless face, "Where is it like you, there is no news at all." ”

[…… Severus, you're bad at learning......]

Opal, who didn't expect to be thrown directly into the well, trembled and pointed his finger at someone to accuse.

"In your words, it's just black that is close to ink."

Severus replied with a smirk, saying that Opal's complaint was dismissed and not accepted.

At this moment, Opal is extremely nostalgic for the tsundere**good** Severus he met at the station at the beginning - so, when did Severus start to grow crooked?!

It must be the wrong way she opened it!

[Speaking of which, Professor Horace has already started tutoring you in Potions.] ]

Opal, who was choked, finally escaped from Lily's face-pinching demon, and immediately chose to change the subject, [Didn't he invite you to join the Slugs Club?] ]

"The Slug Club?"

Lily froze for a moment, her first reaction was Seaver's insulting nickname in the mouths of the Gryffindor Four, and then she realized that the word, though pronounced similarly, clearly meant something different—just by Seaver's expression.

"You've been invited, too?"

Although it was not surprising to hear the name from Opal's mouth, Severus did not expect that she would be so generous to say it directly.

[Ah, I received it when I was in first grade.] However, I thought it was troublesome and a waste of time, so I refused. ]

Opal's answer was quite natural, so that the corners of Severus's mouth, who had not received an invitation from the club until two days ago, couldn't help twitching: "If you let other Slytherin students hear this, they will want to strangle you." ”

[No one here is broken-mouthed.] ]

In this regard, Opal calmly said that there was no pressure at all.

"Uh, can you elaborate on that?"

Lily, who was completely incomprehensible on the side, couldn't help but raise her hand, "Slug Club? So what the hell? ”

"A private society within Slytherin House."

Severus explained succinctly, "The qualifications are in the hands of Professor Horace, our Slytherin Headmaster, and only those who are approved by him will receive invitations. ”

"Standards?"

Lily, who first heard about the private society, was intrigued, "Only for Slytherin?" ”

"I don't know what the criteria are, but I think I have to be good enough in one area."

After a pause, Severus pursed his lower lip and said, "But I just got an invitation, and I don't know exactly what it is." It's possible that Voti knew. ”

[Please, don't have any problems, just kick me in, okay?] ]

Opal couldn't help but roll his eyes at someone's irresponsible kicking of the ball, but after meeting Lily's inquisitive gaze, he could only sigh helplessly, [The family history and grades of the members of the Slug Club are all considered, but usually only Ravenclaw and Slytherin students are invited.] It's one of the reasons why something is good enough, but it's more a matter of consideration...... Well? Lily, what's wrong with you? ]

After a brief explanation, Opal suddenly noticed that Lily's expression seemed a little depressed.

"Nothing ......"

After waving her hand and then patting her face, Lily sighed, "I just think that the difference between the academy and the academy is really big." There is no such society in Gryffindory, and I always feel that I am being compared...... And, why not take Hufflepuff and Gryffindor students? ”

"Take it and watch the Gryffindors and Slytherins fight? Those idiots whose muscles are always faster than their brains. ”

After Seaver subconsciously sarcastically said, he immediately realized his gaffe, but it was too late to remedy it.

"Seaver, do you mean we should quarrel or fight as soon as we meet?!"

Lily, who had been a little irritable by the hostility between the colleges, frowned for the first time, and although her voice was not accusatory, it was not kind, "Seaver, I know that Potter is very unkind to you, but you can't generalize, okay?" ”

"I think they alone are very representative of the whole Griffindo, impulsive and brainless, and their IQ is all forgotten at home and not brought to school, so they will only do things when they encounter problems! It's a mess for people! ”

It seems that it is really not right with the Raiders Four, and at the mention of Potter, Severus can't control his poisonous tongue, "If it weren't for Headmaster Dumbledore's always being biased, there would be no need for Gryffindor's idiots to exist!" ”

[……]

Opal, who had seen Severus's emotions a little excited and wanted to interrupt early, could only rub her temples helplessly at the moment - she was still a step slower after all.

"What do you mean, Seaver! Don't forget that I'm a Gryffindor too! ”

After all, it was about their own house, and although they didn't have a good impression of Potter either, Lily couldn't help but slap the quill on the table with a "snap".

“……”

Severus, who had already reflected at this moment, opened his mouth apologetically as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything in front of Lily's cold face, so he turned his head after a snort.

Lily, apparently misunderstood Severus's performance, turned pale for a moment, closed her mouth and turned her attention back to the assignment in front of her.

The atmosphere that was still very lively suddenly became cold.

So Severus, if you continue to be so arrogant, you're going to suffer sooner or later, and that Slytherin twist and turn Lily would not have been a Gryffindor but a Slytherin if she could fully understand that she had entered in the first place......

Opal secretly rolled her eyes at the gesture that someone had secretly thrown at her behind Lily's back, and wanted to just pretend that she hadn't seen anything, but she ......

Severus, don't you have the guts to kick me in the leg under the table, so don't you have the guts to say sorry to Lily?!

[I said you two, it's not a matter of a day or two for Gryffindor and Slytherin to be on the same page.] ]

With a sigh of unbearability, Opal knocked on the table, [Wouldn't it be nice to take a step back?] Don't forget that before we were Gryffindor and Slytherin House, we were friends first, right? ]

"But Walty, you know, while I know Potter is sometimes excessive, Sever's generalizations are too much."

Lily bit her lip and descended Opal's steps first, "Don't forget that I'm a Gryffindor too. ”

"I think you're more like a Ravenclaw."

And Severus, at this moment, also under Opal's repeated eyes, held back this sentence very awkwardly, "Okay, I admit that even Gryffindor still has a few exceptions. ”

And Lily is such a special case for him.

"Thank you so much!"

Rao was still angry, and Lily couldn't help but roll her eyes angrily and funny, "Walty, thank you for your hard work." As a guy from the same college, I don't see anyone who looks up and looks down all day long, this stinky mouth of Seaver has not annoyed you less, right? ”

[Who made us friends?] ]

In this regard, Opal spread his hands and said that he was really helpless and innocent.

Although the atmosphere between the three of them had finally eased, Opal knew very well that this was just a whitewashed façade. How long can the friendship of three people, two hostile academies, and a friendship that cannot see each other often, last?

Looking at Severus, who was silently starting to write her Potions homework at the moment, and then at Lily, who seemed to be a little uncomfortable and was writing her homework paper very hard, Opal couldn't help but rub her temples.

Severus: Honestly, I'm sorry, will you die? Will you die, will you die?!

Opal on the side was left with the idea that iron could not be made of steel at the moment - he had never seen someone who was dull and clumsy, and he had never seen EQ as low as he was now.

No wonder in the end, Seaver, you took advantage of the time and people, but you didn't rob Jaime who only had the right place...... You deserve to be a bachelor for the rest of your life!
