So began to return to the plot.

Take a look at the current progress, then look at the outline, and finally look at the word count......

Can I really finish this HP before 800,000? (Dead...... ）

Xiao Ao's sesame bun attributes are beyond doubt, although a large part of them are misunderstood by others, but just being able to misunderstand people like this can justify Xiao Ao has left very much

PS: Xiao Ao, when will you change your habit of becoming natural as soon as you meet V big, or have you disguised yourself as a habit to become natural, and this mode has become your second personality?

Hogwarts dining hallway

"Opal."

After much hesitation, Draco finally decided to follow his curiosity and found an opportunity to block Opal, who had hurried to the dormitory after lunch in the hallway of the cafeteria.

[Draco?] ]

Opal, who originally wanted to pretend to be a passerby, pouted his lips behind his back reluctantly, and when he turned his head to look at the boy standing beside him, he had returned to his usual appearance with a faint smile, [Is there something wrong?] ]

"That's probably my problem, right?"

Draco had a headache and shoved a small stack of papers that had been in his bag into Opal's hand, "What's going on with you lately?" As soon as class is over, you rush to the dormitory, and you can't even catch the library. If I hadn't been blocked in the cafeteria today, would you really have planned to let me into the girls' dormitory? ”

[Isn't Pansy here, if only she had a word if there was something...... And what are these documents? ]

Opal looked innocent, but he obediently took the papers from Dracose.

"As the head of the grade, I bother you to pay more attention to your duties, okay!"

With a black line on his head, Draco easily pressed the not-so-aristocratic idea of chiseling chestnuts into someone's head, and shoved a small bottle of ink into Opal's arms, "I've already taken care of most of it for you, and the rest is for the head of grade to sign." Wait a minute, you sign me with this special magic ink, don't forget. ”

[It's so troublesome......]

Quickly skimming through the few documents in his hand, Opal grimaced, [Since Draco you have already helped me deal with it, you can simply help with the rest, I really can't spare time lately.] ]

The idea of becoming the head of the year was purely to catch the ducks on the shelves, after all, his mind had become unclear for some reason at that time - God knows that Opal had actually planned to release the water during the battle to make Draco the head of the year.

"I've already helped anyone I can. It won't take you much time to read these documents. Once you've signed it, if you really don't have time, ask Pansy or Blaise to pass it on to me. ”

After explaining what he was going to explain in one go, Draco glanced at Opal and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, what are you busy with all this time?" ”

Not to mention the fact that he couldn't find anyone to deal with the documents, when he asked her out for a walk these days, she either deliberately diverted the topic or refused outright.

Even at last Sunday's Quidditch match, Opal turned down his invitation and hid in her dorm room, not knowing what she was doing - knowing that she wasn't interested in Quidditch, she had never turned down his invitation for no reason before.

If it weren't for the fact that he knew that Opal would go straight back to her dorm room every time he rejected him, and that the backlog of papers did need to be dealt with in a timely manner, Draco thought he wouldn't have had the patience to wait until today to ask.

[Sorry, but there's been a lot of stuff lately.] ]

A tired look flashed from the corners of his eyebrows, but Opal quickly showed a gentle look that was no different from the past, and looked at Draco to explain vaguely, and then folded his hands with a hint of embarrassment, [So I'm going to bother Draco a little more lately.] ]

“…… Does it have anything to do with your family? ”

Seeing Opal's exhaustion in his eyes, Draco raised an eyebrow without a trace and asked tentatively.

The last time he sent a letter back, his father seemed to have said that Germany had not been at peace lately, so even Opal's family had been affected?

But seriously, he really didn't remember that there was a family in Germany with the family name "Snape".

[Ah, indeed.] But that's okay, I can handle it. ]

Opal wasn't lying on this point—after all, the Forbidden Forest could indeed be her home—but only vaguely on some points.

For the sensitive Slytherin, the real lie is very easy to debunk, and once the lie is exposed, then even the most basic friend has to be - Slytherin pride does not tolerate deception and betrayal.

So Opal chose to mislead – although he was not wrong about the facts, but he was conceptually ambiguous.

That was true for Draco.

"Don't force it too hard."

After pursing his lips, Draco's reserve as a nobleman made Draco only tempt the point, "If it really doesn't work, it doesn't matter if you move to England." ”

In the name of his platinum family, it would be difficult to shelter a migratory family.

However, he could not fully understand this kind of words, because once the words were spoken, it would not only represent a distrust of Opal's abilities, but also a represent

[I appreciate your kindness.] ]

Opal bent his eyebrows and smiled gently, but there was still a vague helplessness, [It's a pity that I don't have the right to speak now, and I'm still a long way from being recognized...... Yes! It's nothing...... If there's anything Draco needs help with, I'm sure I'm not going to be polite. ]

Although they are the "sons of Gaia", they have not made a formal inheritance, and although the Charon respect themselves, they will never give in on some matters of principle. And "inheritance" doesn't mean that it will be carried out immediately, and she still has no concept of consciousness and responsibility......

Alas, just thinking about it makes me feel like I'm probably having a bit of a friction in this kind of thing.

“…… Tut. "The right to speak? Recognized?

Draco, who had a vague grasp of something from Opal's words, raised his eyebrows, thinking that he probably understood why he hadn't heard of the "Snape" family in the aristocratic wizarding circles in Germany.

There is no shortage of illegitimate children in aristocratic circles, and because of the blood relationship, those illegitimate children can only bear the family name after proving their ability. Now it seems obvious that Opal also belongs to this category...... (Tianyin: So Draco is really foggy, and Xiao Ao Nai is really misleading people with a sesame bag, but she doesn't say anything positively, just let others think like this.) ）

[Okay, okay, let's not talk about that.] Is there anything else going on besides these documents? ]

Shaking his head and sighing, Opal, who had barely pulled his mind back, looked back at Draco.

"Nothing particularly important for the time being. By the way, I haven't asked before. ”

It could be seen that Opal didn't want to say anything more about this, so Draco changed the subject in a kind way, "What were you looking for some time ago?" Inside the library every day. ”

[I read a book about the Oriental Festival and found it interesting.] ]

For Draco's question, Opal, who probably guessed what he wanted to do, very cleverly modified what he was looking up now, [so he was looking for information related to Kirin and Suzaku.] ]

"What's that?"

After trying to pronounce the next sound, Draco stammered, "Suzaku, isn't that the Phoenix?" (Tianyin: Everyone knows that the Vermilion Bird is actually a different species from the Phoenix, but for foreigners, the Chinese Vermilion Bird is the Phoenix.) It's like the Chinese unicorn is the same as a unicorn in their hearts. ）

[No, it's not at all.] It's because some people get confused, so I want to find some more detailed information. ]

Shaking his head a little amusedly, Opal raised the document in his hand, [If that's what I'm dealing with, I'll take it.] ]

"Well, you go about your business."

Draco nodded, "Don't forget to wait until class, though." ”

[I can't forget it, and I am relieved.] ]

=====================I'm the dividing line ====================== the switch scene

Hogwarts Slytherin Bedroom

、

Leaning back on the comfortable recliner in Opal's room, the occupants looked absentmindedly at the notes Opal had compiled from the information books in the Hogwarts Library.

Sure enough, as he thought, all the books that Opal could borrow, and all the relevant information he wanted to know, were incomplete.

Dumbledore's old bee was really well guarded, and even his own school books were in his hands, was he worried that he would send a spy to investigate?

Really, would he use such a tasteless approach?

Rejuvenating Spell, Split Soul, Philosopher's Stone, Regent's Mind, Unicorn Blood, Eternal, Mermaid Heart, Phoenix Tears......

These messages related to "immortality" have a "don't pay attention to me" spell on them, and some even erase the contents after applying the "don't pay attention to me" spell just to be safe.

Joke, if he really wants to know these things, is he afraid that he won't be able to find out?

In the Secret Land of the Lake, Vivien's collection of books is hundreds of times richer than that of Hogwarts.

There has been no progress on the aspect of "immortality", but it is just because he is no longer "interested" in it.

The sound of small, light footsteps came from outside the room, and Riddle didn't have to look up to know who it was—in fact, the kind of footsteps that were slight but perfectly matched to the sound of the wind, he had never heard in a second person.

In about 5 seconds, his Silent Girl was about to come in.

5、4、3、2、1！

[Riddle!] ]

The door of the room was pushed open and closed, and the petite girl threw herself into his arms with a light breeze, and then the straight hair automatically found the most comfortable position in his arms, and after rubbing it with satisfaction, she did not move.

It's exactly like a little beast that obeys its instinct and is satisfied with its owner.

Speaking of which, his silent girl, the image of the Animagus, is a unicorn—a pure and steadfast beast of the wind.

"Finished lunch so soon?"

Ask while knowing the answer.

[Because Riddle is waiting!] ]

Stand to reason.

"Do you have a clue about the data collation?"

As the words came out, I was not surprised to see someone's delicate brows locked again: [The books that can be consulted in the library are very incomplete, but the forbidden area cannot be entered without permission......]

"So what are you going to do?"

[……]

As if after thinking about it, Opal looked up as if he had decided something, [Riddle, are you in a hurry?] ]

The azure eyes narrowed slightly: "It's not too urgent, but if you can, it's best to get it as soon as possible." ”

[Well, Opal knows.] ]

Nodding his head as if confirming something, Opal let out a breath and looked down at the document in his hand again, [Then Opal will go back to the Forbidden Forest tonight.] ]

"Going to find the Centaur Clan's books?"

Glancing slightly at the contents of the document, the slight confusion vanished as he thought that his silent girl was now the head of the first year.

But I didn't expect this time the Chief Challenge to start before Christmas, and I thought that when he entered the school, he became the first grade chief at the beginning of the second half of the semester.

[Well, after all, Suzaku and Kirin are both magical creatures, so I'd like to ask other friends for news.] ]

After a pause, Opal added, [It's a pity that Riddle can't enter the Centaur Forbidden Lands, otherwise it will be much easier to find any information.] ]

By "friends" in Opal's mouth, she refers to her non-human flora and fauna.

"Good boy."

So, a light kiss representing "satisfaction" landed on Opal's forehead.

[Naopal sleeps for a while.] It may be an all-nighter at night......]

With a satisfied smile, Opal, who had become in a good mood for his occasional intimate movements, glanced at the information in his hand, chose to curl up in his arms, and closed his eyes quietly.

“…… It's really irresponsible......"

Although he sighed like this, there was no displeasure in his half-narrowed blue eyes.

Naturally, he took the documents from Opal's hand and looked through them, and then a wandless magic summoned magic ink and quills.

His Silent Girl was really tired from this time, so he didn't mind interfering in to help with the trivial things - it was a kind of reward.

Outside the window, the magic virtual sunlight shone into the room, reflecting the warm light of a room.

As he reviewed the papers in his hand, Riddle occasionally looked sideways at Opal's sleeping face in his arms.

The slender limbs in the arms are unguardedly relaxed, the silver-white hair has the breath of a fresh forest, and the pink lips are slightly curved, which makes people look at it with a curvature called "happiness".

Raise your hand and gently swipe it across the pink lip flap.

His silent girl, what did she dream about to have such a smile?

[…… Riddle...... Hehe......]

The slightest fluctuation in the magic power resembles a whispering sensation - but you can feel the warmth and happiness contained in it.

The azure eyes twitched slightly, and a soft light flashed.

Riddle didn't know what the emotions were overflowing at the moment, but he was sure of ......

This feeling is not annoying.

Opal, his silent girl.

He lowered his head and rubbed his pink lips lightly, and his squinted blue eyes became deep again.

Hurry up and grow up.

Grow early enough to stand by his side and rule the world with him, a good and unique being......

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

Outside of Hogwarts: The Forbidden Forest

、

Carefully bypassing the surveillance system, she turned into a unicorn and ran towards the Forbidden Forest, but just as Opal was about to enter the hidden barrier, a sudden sound fell into her ears - unusually familiar.

"No...... I don't know, you ...... As what is it ...... Don't go anywhere else, come ...... Come here, Snape ......"

Opal remembered that it was Professor Quillo's voice.

"Oh, I want to do it without me knowing."

Snape's voice, "Students shouldn't have known about the Philosopher's Stone. ”

Why are the two of them here?!

Opal thought to himself, then unconsciously stopped and listened.

"Have you found a way to subdue Hagrid's beast?"

"Yes. But- but, Snape, I-"

"You don't want to think of me as your enemy, do you?"

"I-I don't-know you-"

"You know exactly what I mean. Don't be long-winded, I'm waiting. ”

"But—but I don't—no."

"Very well, we'll talk later, you can think about it."

Then came the sound of Soso's departing footsteps.

What a weird conversation.

Opal stood there thoughtfully, then his gaze swept over the side - it seemed to be Harry......

But why would Snape be interested in the Philosopher's Stone?
