No.14 The Sword Queen (Reversed)
So the diary-kun has been refrigerated for so long, and finally officially appeared.
V Da Nai's rival (big mistake) has appeared!
It's not easy to finally get into the official plot, and I'm completely desperate for my ability to control the plot - this is the first time I've gone out of the way
======================================
Queen of Swords (reversed): Bad with malicious contact. 、
Hogwarts, England
、
[Tsk, miscalculation.] ]
Glancing at the teacher's seat, Opal sullenly poked at the blueberry pudding in front of him.
"What's wrong? Isn't there a lot of things you like to eat tonight? ”
Draco, who had already finished his small report, was in a good mood at the moment, but he was slightly stunned after seeing Opal's performance, "Why do you look so unhappy?" ”
[Although today is the day of the start of the school year, after all, the new semester has not officially started, so the idea of seeing Gryffindor deducted points probably cannot be realized.] ]
Holding his chin, Opal's tone was full of regret.
"Hah, what else should I do? Opal, you're taking it too seriously. ”
Draco, who had thought something was going on, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and patted Opal on the shoulder, "On the other hand, even if you don't see Gryffindor being deducted points, it's good to get the news that the great savior has been scolded by our dean and the dean of his house, isn't it?" ”
[Draco, do you hate Harry that much?] ]
As if sensing something interesting, Opal glanced sideways at Draco, [as if you would be happy to do anything that would make Harry unlucky.] ]
"I just can't get used to those stupid lions, because they show off their might when they get the so-called 'savior'."
Draco flatly denied this, "Don't you think it's funny to hit the source of their pride hard and see their frustrated expressions?" ”
[……]
Actually, that's just your own bad taste, right?
With great difficulty, he swallowed the words back into his stomach, and Opal finally lowered his head and continued to eat his blueberry pudding, [Alright Draco, hurry up and eat.] I've helped you save a little bit of heart. ]
"Hmm...... The sorting ceremony hasn't started yet, so there's no hurry. ”
Draco, who was in a good mood, immediately chose to accept Opal's "feeding and feeding", turned his head and began to solve the snack in front of him, while not forgetting to introduce a little about the queue of people who were waiting in line for the sorting house, "The number of new students enrolled this year is relatively small, and there are even fewer pure-bloods, but they should all enter Slytherin, otherwise it will be Ravenclaw." ”
[Draco, you seem to have forgotten about the Weasleys.] ]
Opal reminded in a whisper. Draco, on the other hand, was not surprised to show a look of disgust when he heard the name of the family: "The shame of that noble circle, don't mention to me that group of stupid lions in pure-bloods." ”
You are clearly discriminating against Draco!
Opal wisely chose to complain only in his own heart.
To be honest, although Opal grew up hearing Riddle talk about the so-called "pureblood" theory, she didn't particularly agree with this - biologically speaking, Opal felt that if the wizarding world really pursued so-called pureblood too much, it would be equivalent to chronic suicide.
Fortunately, in recent years, Riddle has rarely mentioned this matter, and although he still refers to ordinary people as "Muggles" with a great sense of contempt and superiority, he has lost the killing intent that he wanted to get rid of at the beginning.
Although it is clear that if Riddle really wants to be the enemy of the whole world, he will definitely not hesitate to side with him. But Opal genuinely hoped that Riddle would be able to live with him for a long time—neither a hero nor a demon king would be as happy as a mortal who could live a peaceful life, at least Opal thought.
The song of the Sorting Hat began to flutter, and the snakes on the Slytherin table touched their ears in unison—earplugs were tucked into the "Don't Pay Attention to Me" spell.
The whole process of the Sorting House was uneventful, so Opal's attention was completely drawn to the book she had smuggled with - if it hadn't been for Draco on the side who couldn't look at it and pulled her to warn her to pay attention, she probably wouldn't have missed the last chorus of the school song.
After the end of the branch, there were several new members in Slytherin House, but looking at the appearance of Draco around him, it seemed that the new students were not too much to pay attention to, so Opal was happy to be idle, watching the "specialty" of Slytherin House - a man and a woman's "humanoid stamp" go to the first-year newcomers to show their authority, and inform them of the precautions by the way.
Then again...... What the hell is Riddle going to do again?
As soon as he remembered that Riddle had just asked Nagini to take away her report at the end of the summer vacation, and then had no news after saying "I have something to deal with temporarily", Opal was depressed.
It's not that Opal has any grudges against Riddle, after all, it's not once or twice in the past that Riddle has been missing for many days without information, and Opal also believes that Riddle must have his own urgent matter to deal with, not deliberately breaking the appointment.
It's just that the trip that I've been looking forward to for a long time ended in vain, and in the end it still makes Opal feel a little regretful.
However, it is only a pity.
For Riddle, Opal will never have such a mood as "dissatisfaction".
"Is Opal bored?"
It was clear that Draco was feeling the same way by Opal's side.
[I just think it's weird......]
After Dumbledore announced that he could eat, Opal quickly but gracefully resolved the food in front of him as he said, "Do you and I have flowers? Why do freshmen keep staring at us? ]
"Ha ......"
Draco, who didn't have Opal's teleportation technique, could only wrinkle and swallow the food in his mouth before speaking, "Anyway, you're also the second-year leader, and you'll definitely have to get used to this kind of high-profile situation in the future." ”
[Is Draco used to it?] ]
"That's natural, after all, I'm the heir to the Platinum family."
After a pause, Draco took a sip of pumpkin juice and said, "Opal, you're not bad, are you?" Although there are not many wizarding circles in Germany and England, in the Triwizard Tournament, Durmstrang in Germany and Hogwarts in England are the schools of their name. I believe that your popularity over there will not be low. ”
[Not possible.] ]
Opal shrugged his shoulders, "I'm just a nobody in Germany. ]
After all, even the surname "Cappadocia" is already very ancient, and with the escapist principle of the blood family, some old nobles may know what this surname represents.
"That's just for now, don't forget that you have a glorious last name."
However, Draco obviously misunderstood Opal's meaning, thinking that she meant that she had not yet been recognized by the family, so not many people in Germany knew about her existence at all, "I believe that with Opal's ability, you will definitely be able to." ”
[aha...... Thank you. ]
Opal just smiled wryly at this and said nothing more.
It wasn't that she didn't understand Draco's thoughts—in fact, it was the result of her misleading thoughts, consciously or unconsciously, but Opal was referring to something else.
Inherit the dream.
I don't know why, although the original voice that would have been ringing in her mind has not appeared for a long time, but it has stopped inheriting dreams for most of the semester, and this time has begun to appear intermittently again.
Although it was a weekly frequency, and it felt much milder than it used to, Opal wasn't sure what that meant.
Although the reappearance of the inherited dream meant that her strength could begin to move forward steadily, the dizziness and lack of concentration in the short period after the dream were also factors that Opal hated.
So, it would be nice if there was a way to pass on the dream and avoid the negative state afterwards.
Opal thought greedily.
-- You're so beautiful. Forgot the law of "equivalent exchange"?
……
――……
Uh, should I say it's been a long time?
Although he knew that once he began to inherit the dream, he might still hear that voice, but this strange state of "say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived" still made Oparmo pause.
- You don't want to hear me, do you? Why be so hypocritical.
This is basic etiquette.
The implication: I greet you because I have a good upbringing, as for the rest...... Hum!
――-_-#我真不明白为什么那么多人都认为你这个腹黑的家伙是个天然呆......
IQ issues.
――-_-|||
∩_∩
There was silence, and Opal turned his attention back to the teacher's seat, then raised an eyebrow.
Over there, Professor Snape had just walked up to Professor McGonagall and whispered a few words to her, and Professor McGonagall's originally smiling face instantly darkened, and Headmaster Dumbledore on the side seemed to notice the situation here, and after asking almost the question, the original smiling expression also froze instantly.
Draco on the side secretly pulled Opal: "Opal, aren't you going to go out and have a look?" That sound just now scared the hell out of us. ”
[Huh?] ]
When is there a sound?
-- Just when you were thinking about deserting and wandering the world.
However, it was clear that Draco understood Opal's doubts in the other direction, "Huh, huh? Anyway, the banquet has started now, and as the chief and prefect, we won't have anything to do with leaving the table early, so why don't you go and have a look? I dare say that the voice must have been made by the so-called 'savior', just look at the professor's expression. ”
[If you get caught, you will be deducted points, right?] ]
Looking at Draco with an eager face, Opal reminded with one hand on his forehead a little speechlessly.
"Wouldn't it be nice not to get caught?"
Draco shrugged his shoulders, "Opal, lend me your invisibility potion." ”
[…… However, the invisibility potion only works for 15 minutes. ]
"It's okay, your invisibility potion is immediate, just drink it when you're about to be discovered."
Draco didn't really care, but the brisk tone made Opal speechless + black line - the co-author is confident in the potion I configured? Isn't he afraid that he will pit him with bad potions?
Despite this, Opal took out a small flask from the potion bag on his waist and handed it to Draco: "Be careful, I won't spare you if the academy gets deducted points because of this.] ]
"Ah!"
Draco nodded, said hello to the other prefects, and left.
Opal, on the other hand, shrugged his shoulders and continued to eat his own.
=======================I'm the divider =================== to switch scenes
Hogwarts Slytherin Lounge and Bedroom
、
After dinner, after the usual freshman lecture, Opal returned to his dorm room with Draco, who had slipped back with a spring breeze, and Pansy and Blaise, who had come over, to exchange their opinions about the hapless duo of Gryffindor.
It was still the same double dormitory with only her own name, and Opal walked in to find that everything inside was the same as when she left, and it was very well organized.
After knocking on the wall tube to show her gratitude to the house-elves of the college, Opal noticed that the table in the room was instantly filled with her favorite snacks and drinks - so sometimes it can be troublesome to be too popular with house-elves.
After opening his suitcase and taking out the contents and putting them away, Opal turned his attention to the old journal that had been placed in the corner of the trunk after making sure that nothing was missing.
The faded date on the cover indicates that it was a product of fifty years ago.
But why did Lucius sneak the book into the little Weasley's little girl's axe?
Opal, who had not had time to study the journal because of various things, thought about it for a while, carefully took it out, put it on his desk and opened it, and then was stunned for a moment.
Because on the first page of the diary, she recognized a name written in vague ink: Tang... Riddle. And in the lower right corner there is an iconic snake embossing of Slytherin House.
He has the same surname as Riddle. Does it matter?
But that's not right, Riddle has said before that he graduated from Durmstrang in Germany, and has nothing to do with Hogwarts.
Opal continued to flip down, only to find that the pages behind him were completely blank, with no trace of writing, only the date of the day.
Turning to the back cover, Opal saw the name of a newspaper dealer on London's Vauxhall Road - a suspicion that Riddle must have lived in the world of ordinary people.
Empty?
This idea lasted less than a second before Opal completely disproved it - because she could clearly perceive the dark magic in this diary, otherwise she would not have touched it in the first place.
Maybe it's something else.
After thinking for a moment, Opal flipped the diary to the title page of the front page, took the ink and quill on the side, and wrote his name on it: "Opal Yonick Snape"
The paper shone brightly for a second, then it was as if it had been sucked in by the paper and disappeared without a trace.
Then the journal flipped through the pages on its own, and on the blank page with no date at the back of the middle, a line of text written in the ink she had just used oozed out: "Hello, I'm Tom Riddle. Excuse me which year in Slytherin House are you the Head or Prefect, because this ink is special. ”
The names are exactly the same?!
Opal's eyes widened in astonishment, but after changing the quill and ink in his hand, he continued: "I am the head of the second year. Pls are you ......"
Only Slytherin chiefs and prefects would have access to this special signature ink, and Opal had only used it to write his name after seeing the Slytherin snake sigil on the title page.
The handwriting on the diary disappeared and reappeared: "How many years is it?" ”
"In 1992, fifty years have passed since the time of your diary."
After a pause, Opal continued, "You haven't answered my question yet. ”
"It's the usual Slytherin style."
The line of handwriting distorted and vanished, and then another line appeared, "Since you can use signature ink, then you should have permission to go to the school's student file to check the information, I believe that the answer you are looking for on your own is more credible than what I told you." ”
"Got it."
With these words written, Opal closed the journal.
This diary is really not simple, just by writing these words, Opal can clearly feel that part of his magic has been absorbed.
Is it because of the dark magic effect of this diary? I just don't know what this black magic is.
After thinking about it for a while, Opal felt that it would be better to check the identity of this "Tom Riddle" person first for the sake of insurance.
