No.13 Holy Grail 4 (Reverse)
Destroying teaching props...... Professor, can I say you're cute?
Obviously, he just wants to open a small stove for Opal, but he is still cautious of his grudge......
Well, this chapter promotes the plot by the way, because the Dementors are definitely going to be put in, and Siris already escaped from prison a year ago, so this year's escape happened again, so it fits the plot.
Anyway, I'm thinking about whether or not to let Pink Toad come out early, and it will be interesting to watch her fight the Hogwarts students (Opal: I don't think it's funny at all=. =+)
=====================================================
Holy Grail 4 (Reversed): New Problem.
、
Hogwarts Medical Wing
、
When Opal finally awoke from the aftermath of the Oblivion Charm and the Magical Riot, the last rays of the setting sun were being cast outside the windows of the Medical Wing.
"Opal, you're finally awake."
Then, she heard a rather familiar voice.
[Draco?] ]
The red eyes that were originally still with a trace of dazed pigeon blood blinked, and regained their clarity, [How do you ......] Will it be here?
"Miss Opal Snape! Please don't do this kind of heroic thing that only Gryffindor would do next time! ”
Then, as a matter of course, her collar was tugged at, her dark Turkish blue eyes were pregnant with a rare storm, and her pupils shrank slightly to take on an olive-shaped shape like a cat's pupil. The overly familiar outline of the facial features was a little blurry because it was too close, but it didn't make Opal feel overly nervous.
Because, firstly, Draco's imposing presence was really not as strong as someone she knew, and secondly, the subtle changes in Draco's appearance, especially the pupils of his eyes, only made Opal, who was accustomed to seeing this form, feel kind—Riddle's pupils were like this when he was emotional or serene.
[Ah, Draco......]
Shrugging his shoulders, Opal's expression was very innocent at the moment, [In fact, you should know that those underage Hippogriffs were not a threat to me. And when it comes to Gryffindor's behavior, I don't think you're qualified to talk about me. ]
Opal was telling the truth - she hadn't neglected some of the most basic conditions. The Hippogriff was grasping with its left claw, and it made sense for Draco to dodge his right hand, but the problem was that he was doing a somersault to the left.
As for the reason, Opal was naturally very clear, on Draco's right-hand side, there were a few Slytherin and Gryffindor girls standing.
"As a gentleman, it's a shame to let a woman get hurt in front of you!"
Draco immediately retorted, "And I can handle it too!" It's you, obviously in a bad state...... Look at what you've become now! ”
[Please, I'm just because...... The aftermath of the Magic Riot is just a bit out of power. ]
In fact, there is also the Oblivion Charm, but Opal chooses to hide it.
"Oh no, do you have to use your strength to hit me in this kind of place?!"
During the holidays, Draco, Brace, and Pansy visited Opal's so-called "training", and then Draco completely dismissed his intention of outfighting Opal in battle - perhaps a sneak attack while Opal was unprepared for him would be a good option, but if he really faced the enemy, even Draco himself would not dare to pack a ticket to deal with an attack that even a veteran Oro would have difficulty dealing with, both in terms of magic and physical skills.
[Don't be so frustrated.] ]
Opal, who moved his body to make sure that he had regained most of his vitality after a few hours of hibernation, patted Draco's hand and sat up as he fell back into the chair behind him, [Your strength will probably grow rapidly in the future......]
The premise is that he can survive the string of demon training menus carefully prepared by Senior Sister Qianwei for the bloodline.
Speaking of which, she doesn't remember that Senior Sister Qianwei has been good at this kind of training before, it seems that she has re-cultivated the ability in the years she has traveled over, right? Although that bad character has never changed--of course, it is also the same short-sightedness.
"Huh?"
Draco looked at Opal in surprise, "What do you mean?" ”
[Write a letter to Mr. Malfoy.] Tell him that the Qi bloodline in your body has awakened. ]
Opal pointed to his eyes, then nodded to the small mirror on the bedside table and motioned for him to look in the mirror, [if I guessed correctly.] Soon the Secret Realm of the Lake should send a guide to pick you up. ]
“…… My eyes?! ”
After noticing the abnormal shape of his pupil in the mirror, and then realizing that the vertical pupil had reverted to a round pupil as he tried to calm down, Draco looked at Opal with a slightly complicated expression, "You know what's going on?" ”
[The bloodline left behind by the inhabitants of the moon in the sea of Zhu Yue. Qi ...... Or I can change the name of the race that is more in line with the wizarding world's - elves. ]
Opar paused, then smiled at Draco, [It is possible that the descendants of the Qi and humans will not show the characteristics of the Qi tribe, but it is also possible that the bloodline will awaken for various reasons, and these descendants who have awakened the bloodline of the Qi tribe are called 'Banqi', and these Banqi will be allowed to go to the secret realm of the lake. And the secret realm of the lake will also send the corresponding guide to pick up the half-qi who has awakened the bloodline to carry out the 'return' ceremony. I don't know if Mr. Malfoy knows any of this, because hybrids without an Awakened Bloodline are not allowed, let alone aware of the existence of the Secret Realm of the Lake—that's all I know. ]
"Opal you ......"
After pursing his lips, Draco's expression was a little obscure, "What the hell are you ...... hiding from you?"
[I have a very close relationship with the Qi people. ]
Raising an eyebrow, Opal raised his index finger in front of his lips, [You'll know when you get to the secret realm of the lake.] Remember to keep it a secret for me when that time comes. ]
She had the confidence that Draco would be her own help under Sister Qianwei's arrangement—after all, the Qi Clan's own bloodline came from a planet (albeit the moon), so she would never have a bad feeling toward being Gaia's son—and she believed that Lucius Malfoy wouldn't mind his heir holding another property. This is definitely good news for her, who has been busy with the multinational industry in Cappadocia recently.
You know, although Charles and Sebastian can help her with the papers, they are also unable to leave the manor too far away due to constraints, and there are many limitations. Moreover, the influence of the Cappadocia family is mainly in the magical creature world, as well as Germany and Italy, where Sister Qianwei expanded before, and if it is united with the Malfoy family in the United Kingdom, it will be more convenient in any aspect.
Draco raised an eyebrow, as if to accept Opal's words, and after a moment of silence, he took a book from the chair on the other side and handed it to her, "Madam Pomfrey said you were going to spend the night in the medical wing for the sake of caution, and the godfather asked me to pass it on to you." ”
[Don't you have anything else to say?] ]
"Are you sure you want to listen to the original sentence?"
After staring at the Thirty Selected Examples of Protective Charms handed over by Draco in his hand for about half a second, Opal twitched the corners of his mouth: [uh...... There is no need to paraphrase the original text, as long as the meaning remains the same. ]
If it were the silky mellow voice of the original storyteller, Opal might still be interested in listening to it, but you have to admit that the same sentence is said by a boy in the midst of a voice change, and it is a cruel torture to the listener's ear.
"Well, the Godfather wants you to understand at least the first ten incantations described above before you go to bed tonight."
Draco, who seemed to be missing some kind of entertainment, shrugged indifferently, "It's the theory. In practice...... The Godfather wants me to tell you that every Thursday and Friday at 7 p.m. until curfew is your time of confinement for one month. ”
[Can I ask why?] ]
Opal blackened for it, and then paused as if he had choked, [Uh, don't tell me it's because I saved you.] ]
If so, this reason is really stupid......
"Destroying teaching props."
After saying this with a straight face, Draco looked at Opal's stunned appearance, and finally felt a lot more comfortable, "Okay, don't look stupid, you don't know that the godfather is just looking for an excuse." ”
He completely ignored the fact that his expression was no better when he first heard it.
[But don't use that either...... So ......]
Rubbing his face, Opal couldn't say any more. In fact, he almost wanted to lament—even if he felt guilty and planned to open a small stove for her, don't use such a stupid reason, right?
She was already sure, certain, and certain that Snape definitely meant it!
"Actually, I think it's still necessary. Just look at this newspaper. ”
Draco shrugged his shoulders before pulling out another newspaper and tossing it to Opal, "Honestly, I think you seem to be more inclined towards hand-to-hand combat when it comes to combat skills...... You know, we're wizards. ”
[Come on, you've never beaten me in melee combat at the Boss Challenge.] ]
In response, Opal fought back sharply, successfully making Draco's face darken: "You'd better read it first!" ”
Why would she waste her magic to solve a problem that could be solved by saving energy and fighting directly in close combat? It's not cost-effective at all!
Then, looking down, Opal saw the headline in the Daily Prophet—two photographs of prisoners who looked like the lunatics in the asylum.
The above information can be summed up very simply: the famous and crazy Death Eater couple Lestrange and his wife have become the other two criminals to successfully escape from Azkaban after Ciris Black. No one knew where they were going, so Minister for Magic Fudge decided to intensify his search for the Dementors and informed the Muggle world of their danger. At the same time, it was decided to arrange for the Dementors to patrol the outskirts of Hogwarts. Good protection for underage wizards who are incapable of facing danger.
It's just that this kind of content made Opal can't help but look up at Draco after a quick read.
"What's wrong?"
Draco felt like he was about to be overwhelmed by Opal's gaze.
[Draco, will your father run for Minister of Magic next year?] ]
With this kind of minister, I really don't know what to say. Dementor ...... Is that something that can be put out casually?!
"I'm sorry, but my dad thought it would be more convenient to put up a target in front...... Well, you know. ”
Draco responded with a very Malfoy-esque smirk.
[I'm sorry.] I thought being in the limelight was your family's constant pursuit......]
Opal, who had learned the answer from Draco's reaction, pursed his lips in disinterest, giving up his original thoughts, but he couldn't resist a little teasing.
"We're just naturally good at being the center of all eyes."
Probably used to arguing with Opal, Draco's response was very quick and standard.
[Can I understand that you are actually boasting?] ]
Opal raised an eyebrow, she had already guessed what Draco was going to say next—it was nothing more than a matter of course for Malfoy.
"Actually, if you take this as a kind of humility and confidence, I think I will be happier."
Look, although there is a discrepancy in the words, the meaning has not changed at all, so it's really easy to guess.
[Come on!] ]
Opal ended what seemed to her as a somewhat boring conversation with a roll of the eye.
However, it is undeniable that the depression caused by the series of problems that happened at the beginning of the school year has been much better. But Opal also knew that Draco had meant it—after all, he had always been careful.
And......
Looking down at the news again, Opal collected her thoughts, and although she had been aware of the news of Cyris Black's escape during the summer, the news now only confirmed her thoughts.
Then again, how did Fudge become Minister of Magic in the first place? Wouldn't it be because the two major forces happened to fight to a fever pitch and both sides lost, so that they were picked up by an idiot to get a big bargain, right? (Celestial Voice: Opal, you have the truth!) )
While the two were talking, the sky outside the window finally went completely dark. Madam Pomfrey walked into the room with a tray: "My dear child, it's time for you to drink your medicine and rest. Mr. Malfoy, I think you should know that this is the end of the visit. ”
Opal and Draco's eyes fell on the tray at the same time, with a large purple glass of eerie black smoke and three vials of different colors next to them, all of which were definitely not normal colors.
Silence together.
As a Slytherin, you first have to learn to judge the situation.
So Opal rubbed his temples, silently swept away the invisible, cold sweat, then took the potion from Madam Pomfrey's tray, silently applicated herself with a "Nonodorantur"—a self-created spell she had learned from Riddle during her summer vacation, and then poured the strange potion into her mouth with a tragic face.
Draco, on the other hand, threw her a look of sympathy + pity for herself, Merlin bless you, and got up to say goodbye and leave.
Although he avoided the most terrifying first taste contact of the potion because of the spell, Opal, who had to cancel the effect of the spell because of the side effects that had not yet improved, was very sad to find that the terrifying taste of the potion still had an aftermath in his mouth!
I wouldn't have been nosy, Draco, you don't have a classmate's love, at least leave me the candy in your pocket!
Damn it!
