When the laptop was playing WOW, it suddenly burned out for some reason, and it was sent for repair and has not come back until now.

The most unfortunate thing is that my game and documentation are put on a disk, and when I was playing the game, I was coding words because I was sitting on a griffin, and the direct result was ...... Some of the saved manuscripts are gone......

I've been unlucky lately...... Rolling all over the ground begging to touch and beg to leave a message!

PS: Harry is getting darker under Opal's influence...... Oh, no, it's growing......

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

Holy Grail 9 (Upright): Successful action.

、

Hogwarts House Corridor

、

In retrospect, Harry only remembered that Hagrid seemed to have been there that day, and then Opal took his leave after a few words with Hagrid and Headmaster Dumbledore, and then Headmaster Dumbledore told him something and let him come back - but what exactly they said last thing that day, Harry found that his memories of that period were like a thick layer of frosted glass, and he couldn't remember clearly, but he ignored the past disapprovingly.

Because the school was finally on Christmas break, and he was tired of people running away from him in the hallways as if he had fangs or was going to spit venom at them, and he was tired of people pointing at him as they walked by. In the same way, he had become quite busy because of the things he had already discussed with Hermione and Ron.

And on Christmas Day, Harry received a lot of gifts, excluding the toothpicks sent by Drissy's family, whether it was a large syrup from Hagrid, "Quidditch Highlights" from Ron, a valuable eagle feather quill from Hermione, and a hand-knitted waistcoat from Mrs. Wesley, and a large cake, all of which made Harry feel infinitely happy.

And what surprised him the most was that in addition to these people's gifts, he also received an unsigned gift wrapped in a dark green background with silver edges. At Ron's instigation, Harry was surprised to find that it contained a rather beautiful pair of thin-semi-edged ebony glasses, for which he tried them on, which was much clearer than his original pair of glasses, and was far more suitable for Harry than the original pair of "old and ugly" big black-rimmed glasses.

Ron was chattering about the possibility that it had been mailed to Harry's invisibility cloakman last time, but when Harry touched the glasses, it was the silver-haired girl from Slytherin that came to mind.

Could it have been her? After thinking about it, Harry felt that he should have guessed correctly—after all, this wrapping paper style was only used by people from Slytherin House, and he didn't write his name because he was afraid that it would cause trouble if he was seen, right?

Then, after suddenly remembering that he seemed to have completely forgotten her Christmas present, Harry's face warmed slightly, and he secretly decided that he must make up for it next year.

Christmas dinner was held in Hogwarts' Great Hall, as in the past, and the whole Great Hall looked beautiful, not only with two frosty Christmas trees, heavy friezes hanging from the ceiling, there were evergreen pepper parasitic trees that adorned the ceiling in a crisscross pattern, and even snowflakes falling from the rooftops, adding to the festive atmosphere, and Headmaster Dunledore even led a few of his favorite joyous carols.

Harry's gaze swept over the Slytherin table to see Opal, who was sitting in a sip of a drink, smiling and listening to Malfoy beside her, who seemed to be showing off his brand new vest. As if sensing Harry's gaze, Opal looked away, then smiled at him and looked away.

Opal was really different from the other Slytherins.

After reconfirming this realization, Harry turned his gaze back, and then pointed out that Fred was secretly casting a transfiguration charm on his brother Birch's Miyoshi badge to turn it into a pin, but Birch didn't notice this at all, and was still asking the people around him what they were laughing at.

Harry and Ron were then called out of the Great Hall by Hermione before they had finished their third Christmas pudding, and then proceeded to the next step - use a drugged chocolate cake to take down Draco's two henchmen, Goyle and Crabbe, get hair from them and use Polyjuice Potion to transform, and then go to Draco to get information.

After successfully completing the above steps, although there was something wrong with Hermione, only Harry and Ron acted in the end, but fortunately, not long after they left the women's bathroom on the second floor, they encountered unexpected people in the staircase corridor on the first floor.

[Gower?] Crabbe? Why haven't you two returned to the dorm yet? ]

Harry froze, knowing very well that it was Opal's voice.

“…… Uh, that ...... Opal ......"

His mouth opened a little dryly, and Harry found himself unable to say anything at the moment, though he knew that the best thing he should do now was to ask Opal to take them to the Slytherin cellar quarters.

"Aha, Opal, we ...... That, we're ......."

And Ron on the side was obviously very nervous, and he just didn't know how to speak.

[You two, you can't forget your password again, do you?] ]

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Opal only slightly curled the corners of his lips, but it didn't feel any contempt, [Come with me, it just so happens that I have something to find Draco.] ]

"Ah...... Uh-huh! Good! ”

After a moment's pause, Harry immediately resigned himself to Ron and followed her into the Slytherin dormitory.

"Opal, why are you here now?"

As soon as he followed Opal to the door of the common room, Harry heard Draco's figure coming from inside, and then his eyes immediately lit up - Draco, who had changed into a more homely aristocratic attire, was now holding a notebook in his hand, sitting on the sofa next to the common room, and beckoned to Opal at the door.

[No way, the regular meeting of the academy, as the chief, I can't warp.] ]

Spreading his hands and shrugging his shoulders gracefully, Opal walked straight in Draco's direction, [just as Goyle and Crabbe were wandering around outside, and brought them back by the way.] ]

"The two of them?"

Draco looked at the two who were cautiously following Opal with a restrained face, raised his eyebrows and exhaled, "Forget it, don't bother to care, what do you think about this?" ”

As he spoke, he put the notebook he had just flipped through in his hand on the table and pushed it to Opal.

[You two sit here, I'll look for you later.] ]

After seemingly just saying this casually, Opal sat down beside Draco and glanced at the contents of the notebook, [Clippings?] I said, how did I not know that Draco was still keen to collect this kind of thing? Not...... I guessed that you would only be interested in collecting content that had something to do with the Weasleys. ]

The clippings were about Weasley being fined for modifying Muggle cars illegally, and of course, not without Draco's father, Lucius's cynicism.

"Don't you think it's a pleasure to watch that bloodline scum family unlucky?"

Draco was clearly in a good mood right now, leaning back on the couch with his hands behind his head and looking at Opal, "Don't you think it's weird?" There hasn't been a lot of reporting about this recent episode at Hogwarts. ”

[Principal Dumbledore is using his influence to suppress this negative news.] ]

After casually flipping the page backwards, Opal casually placed the newspaper clippings on the table, at an angle just enough for Harry and Ron, who were hooking their heads, to see the contents, [And it's not good for Hogwarts to make a big deal out of it, Draco, you don't want this school to be suspended, do you?] ]

"That's what it is...... Although my family's education is not bad, at least I have to get a diploma here. I don't want to go to school abroad. ”

After grunting, Draco nodded, "I'll write to my father, what do you think, Opal?" ”

[You know my family is in Germany, and there aren't many people here in England who can speak.] ]

Opal shrugged his shoulders at this, [in fact, that's what the regular meeting was talking about - though I think it's silly to put the regular meeting after Christmas dinner.] The current one is to wait and see, if something similar happens again, I'm afraid that Principal Deng Liduo will not be able to withstand the pressure, and at least one scapegoat will have to come out. ]

"What do you mean......"

[The last time the Chamber of Secrets took place was fifty years ago, and several students from that period are currently living in Hogwarts.] ]

Opal said cryptically, [But honestly, I think those who think Potter is a Slytherin offspring probably had their heads trampled on by a troll, and some people believe such a ridiculous thing?] ]

As soon as she said this, Harry and Ron on the side immediately stretched out their ears and waited for the following.

"Who made that saint Potter crawl and speak? Now everyone just wants an object to hate and defend against. ”

Draco gloated at this, spread his hands and said in a tone close to an aria, "The sage's brilliance is covered in shadows, the savior has become the heir, hemp, hemp, you have to be careful...... Don't you think it would be interesting if this kind of thing happened? ”

[Bad taste!] ]

Opal just rolled his eyes and commented.

Harry and Ron on the side were nervous to death - although they knew that Opal and Draco had a good relationship, wasn't it obvious to say such things to their faces?

"Your bad taste isn't much better than mine, thank you. But I don't know where this so-called offspring came from - it's ironic to say that Slytherin descendants are not ...... Slytherin."

Draco waved his hand after simply complaining about Opal's evaluation, "By the way, lend me the notes for this History of Magic class." ”

[Wait for tomorrow, I just borrowed it yesterday and haven't returned it yet.] ]

After taking the clippings back and throwing them back to Draco, Opal stood up, [I'll go back first, Goyle and Crabbe borrowed something for me, I have some things in my room to tidy up and throw them out, I'm in trouble.] ]

"It's casual. You two stop being clumsy, you know! ”

Draco's last words were addressed to Harry and Ron.

So the two nodded wildly, and then obediently followed Opal in the other direction.

After turning a corner, Opal motioned for the two to stop and wait, and then walked straight into the hallway, and within two or three minutes he walked out again, but with only a flask in his hand.

[I remember this thing for Hermione, it was a special potion I got from Madam Pomfrey to disarm the failed Polyjuice Potion.] ]

Throw the vial directly to Harry, who has become Goyle, [I guess your time is almost up, so let's go straight to the other exit around the corner.] The person who opened the Chamber of Secrets wasn't in Slytherin, you know? ]

“…… Ah, that...... What are you talking about, Opal? I—Why can't we listen......"

Harry, who could almost be said to be jaw-dropping, hurriedly grabbed the potion bottle and denied it at the first time.

[First, Goyle and Crabbe call me 'Miss Opal,' which cannot be changed in any way.] ]

Shaking his fingers, Opal sighed, [Second, I happened to have been to the women's restroom on the second floor before I met the two of you, and I met Hermione. Third, Draco was unaware of it. Fourth...... Ron: Your nose is starting to deform. ]

“…… But you...... Why do you ......?"

Ron's voice was rough at the moment, his face and hair were starting to turn red at the moment, and Harry felt as if his body was beginning to contract.

[Explain that later, you should leave as soon as possible, or I won't be able to explain why Gryffindor students are in the Slytherin common room.] ]

Without any malice, he nudged the two of them and made them face the direction of the exit, Opal's tone was calm, [Be fast!] ]

"But ......"

Ron blushed, as if he wanted to say something more, but Harry had already realized that he didn't need to dwell on these things at the moment, so he nodded to Opal and immediately pulled him away.

And when the two of them ran out of the Slytherin cellar out of breath, they were back to their original appearance - and the clothes belonging to Goyle and Crabbe hung on them looking loose, embarrassed and funny.

“…… Why ......"

With a somewhat complicated expression, Ron looked at the exit of the Slytherin cellar that had been closed, as if he was questioning, as if he was asking himself, "I already know that we are fake...... Also, also ......"

"Opal is not like everyone else."

Harry shook his head and looked at Ron.

"But, but she's still a Slytherin, she must ...... Yes, she must be trying to trick us into trusting! Yes, it must be so! ”

As if to find an explanation for Opal's actions, Ron looked a little excited at the moment.

Is that really the case for deception of trust?

Recalling the episodes from the first time he met Opal to the present, Harry didn't find Ron's claim to hold up. But looking at Ron with an excited expression, Harry didn't know what to say.

Harry knew that Ron was biased against Slytherin students, just as he knew that Draco was biased against the Weasleys and Muggles. Is this bias really correct?

However, seeing that Ron was so excited that he seemed to be cursing Slytherin at the moment, Harry also knew that if he said this idea now, this friend would definitely turn his face on the spot.

So he could only roll his eyes helplessly: "Okay Ron, it's not about this now, after all, Opal hinted that Hermione is looking bad now, although the potion she gave us doesn't necessarily need to be used, but isn't it true to confirm Hermione's condition?" ”

"Ah, that's right!"

Ron reacted when Harry reminded him of this, "It made me feel strange that Hermione didn't want to come with us before, we have to go find her now!" ”

Almost immediately, Ron threw aside his previous crusade against Opal and ran towards the women's restroom on the second floor with his kick-and-tap shoes.

Ron...... Wait a minute......"

Carrying the obviously wide robe at the moment, Harry chased after him, and Harry was a little helpless.

Alas, this friend of mine, when will this fiery character improve......

But at least, the operation was a success...... Right?
