What's that, cough cough, the previous accumulated manuscripts have run out, so the next ...... Yes, we know.

Revert to a two-day shift.

Well, that's the basics. (Jumping with a head mouse)

Final PS: I really hate politicians, all kinds of intrigue subtext Shenma is too hard to force Youmu Ah, bastard!

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

Wand 3 (upright): Negotiate.

、

Hogwarts Slytherin bedroom

、

Although Opal herself really wanted to continue to be by Riddle's side, considering that the time to come out was also constant, and if she didn't go back, she would not be able to catch breakfast, so even if she was unwilling, Opal could only take the ornament that Riddle gave her, and then use the portkey given to her by Vivien to enter the secret realm of the lake under his gaze.

After seeking Rosemary's consent and tossing the Philosopher's Stone to her - as the spirit of the magic flower in the Purgatory Mandala of the Demon Realm, the "Philosopher's Stone" that emits negative power when it is polluted is a good fertilizer for her - and then receiving the promise that the other party will give her a gift in return because she is in a good mood, Opal reappears in the Slytherin bedroom through the magic circle set up in the Riddle's Book House in the secret realm of the lake.

It's about 5 a.m. right now.

After returning to his dormitory, although he took a nap at Riddle's, Opal felt sleepy after he relaxed down.

If it weren't for the cool flow of magic from the trinkets Riddle had given her as a "prize", Opal thought she might have fallen asleep on her bed.

So, what is the origin of this jewelry? Never mind...... Anyway, if only I knew that it was given to him by Riddle.

Sitting up from the bed, Opal took the snake-shaped ornament in his hand and examined it carefully.

It was the second trinket she'd received from Riddle - the first was a beautiful Muggle pendant with no magical powers, which was now worn around her neck. (Celestial: It's the unicorn pendant that was given to Opal at V's Christmas.) ）

{So what is Miss Opal going to do next?} }

Swimming down Opal's wrist and coiled over a warm cashmere blanket near the fireplace, Nagini tilted his head to look at Opal, who was staring at the beautiful silver-green ornament in his hand.

[Take a short break and then go to the restaurant for dinner.] ]

After thinking for a moment, pinning the magical trinket to the placket of his robe, Opal closed his eyes under Nagini's gaze, [Wake me up at the usual point in time, and help me prepare the potion of invigoration.] ]

{Okay.} }

Although he knew Opal couldn't see, Nagini wagged his tail, {Dealing with the Headmaster of Hogwarts?} }

[yes, I helped him out of a big problem this time.] But I don't want to cheapen him for nothing, but now I can only take one step at a time. ]

So, negotiation or something, intrigue or something, the most annoying!

He let out a breath, and although he had closed his eyes and tried to relax, Opal was now thinking about what to do next with Dumbledore's interrogation.

After all, for safety reasons, the "Philosopher's Stone", which has now become a source of negative pollution, can indeed no longer be handed over to Dumbledore for safekeeping, so it would be better to push it on Sister Qianwei's head, right?

Although he already knew that he would probably have nothing to do with troublesome things in the future, as long as he thought of this, Opal couldn't help but sigh.

Forget it, things have developed to this point, and it's impossible to stay out of it. What's more, Riddle has also hinted at paying more attention to things about the "savior".

Although he was a little unsure of what Riddle wanted to do, and noticed that when he came to Riddle's side this time, it was an obviously unfamiliar but rather elegant environment, but in any case, Riddle would not let her do anything beyond her ability, let alone harm her. (Tianyin said: Actually, I really want to know, where did you get this kind of cognition, Xiao Ao...... ）

Merely......

The thought of the person he was going to meet next made Opal feel like his stomach was aching.

Sure enough, you still have to find a way to ask the house-elf to put some laxatives or something else in the dessert prepared for Dumbledore to make him "settle" a little, right?

In public and private, she really didn't want to be so cheap Dumbledore's sweet tooth.

Just push the matter on Senior Sister Qianwei, if you want to have a headache, you will let that group of people have a headache. Anyway, Senior Sister Qianwei has a very good attitude towards her and is that kind of personality, and I heard Riddle say that the relationship between Mr. Gellert and Dumbledore is very complicated, so I believe that this kind of "little trouble" that needs to be directly face-to-face with Dumbledore is happy to help solve it by both Senior Sister Qianwei and Mr. Gellert. (Tianyin: Xiao Ao, you are really a black belly to people other than V University...... ）

With that in mind, Opal pulled the quilt off the side and decided to rest for a while before Nagini called her.

======================= I am the dividing line =================== the passage of time

Hogwarts Cafeteria

、

"Opal?"

With a black line on his head, Draco watched as someone pecked at the rice with a complete chicken, and it looked like he had planted his head in the plate in front of him, and handed her a cup of black coffee after waking her up again, "Didn't you sleep well last night?" ”

[Ah...... Well...... Sort of......]

Yawning, Opal, who still felt poor even though he had taken the invigorating potion, finally cheered up a little after drinking the bitter espresso in one go, and rubbed his temples that were a little throbbing, [Why is the restaurant arguing like this today?] ]

From the moment I came in, I felt like there was a swarm of flies buzzing around my ears.

If it's noisy, can you still look like you're about to fall asleep?

Draco couldn't help but complain in his heart, but after seeing a faint dark circle under Opal's eyes, he finally swallowed back the words that were about to be spoken: "It seems that it was because the 'golden boy' who 'didn't die' defeated 'that person' again." So it's just singing the praises of the so-called 'savior'. ”

[That's it......]

I guess it was what happened in the secret room down there last night, but Opal, who was obviously a little sluggish at the moment, simply sighed at the speed of the Hogwarts gossip - in terms of time, it didn't even take "one night", right? Slytherin, who had always paid attention to Gryffindor, knew that even Ravenclaw and Hefpuff were discussing it.

"What to say 'beat' ......"

Draco didn't have much to say about it himself, but he didn't notice it himself, and some of the information revealed in his words kept Opal in mind, "I think I fainted because I was scared, right?" I don't know what shit luck was, but 'that person' didn't kill him......"

[Draco, are you jealous of Harry?] ]

Knowing that Draco couldn't talk anymore, Opal had always known where someone's sore foot was, so it was very easy for someone to follow her words almost immediately: "Why should I be jealous...... Uh......"

Draco's face turned red and blue and white, and he took several deep breaths before he finally swallowed his roar.

Fortunately, breakfast is almost over now, otherwise if Draco's unaristocratic behavior falls into the eyes of someone who cares, and then passes back to his father, it is estimated that the "Platinum Family Motto" in his twenties will not be able to escape.

"Miss Opal."

Professor McGonagall, who didn't know when she appeared, had already walked to the edge of the Slytherin table.

[What's the matter?] Professor McGonagall. ]

Hurriedly swallowing the last piece of pastry in his mouth, Opal jumped out of his seat and politely returned the salute.

"Headmaster, please come to his office later."

[Yes, I see.] ]

After receiving Opal's response, it became clear that Professor McGonagall had something else to attend to, and left in a hurry.

Looking at the background of McGonagall's departure, Opal raised an eyebrow without a trace - although he had already been prepared, but was it too impatient to ask Professor McGonagall to come to the cafeteria early in the morning to look for her?

"Headmaster Dumbledore is looking for you?"

He also frowned at the back of Professor McGonagall leaving, and then noticed that his godfather had left the cafeteria without knowing when he had left Draco, and there was a faint sense of unease.

[I don't know, but I haven't missed anything lately, so it shouldn't be related to studying.] So if nothing else...... I guess it's at home. ]

After drinking the last sip of milk, Opal exhaled a breath and smiled to soothe the little platinum nobleman beside him, [Remember to ask for my leave when class is over.] There are also notes for your trouble! ]

"yes, got it."

Nodding, Draco looked at the back of Opal leaving, and wondered if he wanted to reveal this matter to his father - after all, from Opal's words, it was surmised that Dumbledore could be alarmed to come to Opal for this, and I believe that Opal's family must have traces in Germany.

Headmaster's Office, Hogwarts

、

[Good morning, Headmaster Dumbledore.] ]

After greeting the gargoyle, Opal was once again exempted from the secret language and entered Dumbledore's headmaster's office.

"It's Opal......"

Sitting behind his desk, Dumbledore, who was wearing Opal's clothes, which he didn't think was any different from his dressing gown, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Have you already eaten breakfast?" ”

Sitting on the sofa in the office, before Opal could greet her, the house-elf had already delivered her favorite delicious desserts, as well as steaming fragrant milk tea.

[Well, I've already eaten it.] Headmaster Dumbledore asked me to come over...... Is it because of last night? ]

Sitting on the sofa in the office, before Opal could greet him, the house-elf had already delivered Opal's favorite delicious desserts and steaming milk tea.

"Sure enough, Opal knew about it, too."

As if he didn't expect Opal to be so straightforward, Dumbledore was slightly stunned for a moment before continuing to speak.

[Of course I do, because I took the Philosopher's Stone and sent it to Xiao Ao.] ]

From the moment he entered the passage, Opal knew that there was a spell set up in the passage for special monitoring - that is, if anyone entered the passage, they would be induced.

The only room that didn't have a surveillance spell attached to it was probably the last hall, as the protective enchantment that existed in that hall itself was designed for spirits and the surveillance spell were completely in conflict.

"Xiao Ao?"

Because of this sudden name, Dumbledore's brow locked slightly.

[You've met before, because real names can't be used indiscriminately, so I use nicknames.] ]

Patting his head, Opal pretended to be an afterthought, [Because the critter who lived in the castle told him that a stone had recently appeared in the castle that made them feel very upset, so he asked him to help him retrieve the thing so that it could check for danger.] ]

"Now...... What about the stone? ”

Dumbledore, who seemed to have thought of something, was most concerned about this matter at the moment.

From the monitoring spell, he knew that Opal and Harry had entered the hall in the order of their feet, but when they arrived in the hall, they only saw Harry unconscious, and Quillo was dying.

And the most important thing is that Quillo only detected the presence of the Dark Demon symbol on his body, and did not detect the existence of Voldemort.

Although it is possible to infer that Voldemort has been repelled by Harry's guardian spell, and as long as it is a spirit, even if he barely passes through the protective barrier, he will be seriously injured.

But Dumbledore always felt that things should not be that simple.

That's why he came to Opal - but judging by Fawkes' reaction, Voldemort shouldn't be lurking in Opal.

If the son of Gaia could be controlled so easily, it would definitely be a disaster for the wizarding world.

[Xiao Ao said that the stone seemed to be stained with something bad for some unknown reason, so he decided to bring it back to Miss Vivien's secret lake realm.] If Headmaster Dumbledore wanted it, he would go to Miss Vivien. ]

Opal pouted, [When I arrived, I only saw Harry and Professor Quillo lying on the ground, with a red-black stone next to them. After making sure that it was the culprit that upset them, I took it to Xiao Ao. Then Ao said that the stone was to be taken for Miss Vivien's help. ]

The red-eyed unicorn was her anyway, and even if Dumbledore followed Snape's route and asked her for verification, he wouldn't be a goof.

"I see...... I wondered why the stone was missing......"

Dumbledore took a pile of cockroaches and put it in his mouth, "But, can you tell me?" Opar, how did you get out of that hall? ”

If the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone are one of the problems, it is also a question that puzzles all professors, including him.

[Leave...... Is it? ]

Sure enough, the question was asked.

Tilting his head, Opal pouted with a puzzled look, [I borrowed the magic passage of the house-elf, although it was a little uncomfortable, but it was very useful. ]

In Hogwarts castles, migratory apparitions cannot be used by anyone other than the house-elves who have been allowed to do so.

So the fact that they disappeared from the hall inexplicably is the reason why they feel uneasy, right?

Speaking of which, Riddle's portkey to Nagini is so powerful that it can be used in Hogwarts - probably with the help of Sena-san.

Thinking of the design of Hogwarts that Senior Sister Qianwei gave her before, Opal felt that this kind of thing was taken for granted.

You must know that Senior Sister Qianwei is a very protective person, so as long as she is approved and her words and deeds do not cross the boundaries of her permission, then even if she pokes out a big basket, she will help clean up the aftermath.

"That's ......"

As the "Son of Gaia", Opal was quite popular with house-elves, and Dumbledore knew that.

From what has been obtained so far, Opal's rhetoric is not flawed, and even if there is suspicion, it is not above their main concern - so the suspicion can be ruled out.

Dumbledore nodded, a gentle smile on his face, "That's fine." If I'm not mistaken, you still have a lesson later, right? Can I go see Harry after class? He seems to be in a bad condition. ”

[Headmaster Dumbledore, are you kidding?] ]

With his eyes wide open and a look of horror, Opal furrowed his eyebrows, [Please don't forget that I'm a Slytherin student.] ]

"I didn't think you cared about this kind of academy."

Dumbledore smiled and said, "After all, you didn't make an exception once or twice. ”

[Although I have become the head of the first grade, I ......]

Although he knew that Dumbledore was referring to the fact that he had helped Harry several times, Opal still shook his head, [Unconfirmed things can be considered as if they didn't happen.] Don't tell me Headmaster Dumbledore doesn't know this noble code. ]

"Looks like you're doing well in Slytherin...... Obal"

[I'm just afraid of trouble.] ]

Opal shrugged, [But I'm not going to do such a stupid thing as blatantly challenging the entire academy.] ]

"What if it is on the basis of an order?"

[That depends on who.] ]

After smiling and looking at each other for two or three minutes, Dumbledore nodded, "I see." ”

[Goodbye to Headmaster Dumbledore.] ]

That's why she hates old foxes! My face was sour......
