In fact, the highlight of this chapter is Pansy's complaint......

Speaking of which, Opal, your demon tail is revealed...... In fact, you also have a grudge against the days when you had to report every time you had to go out during this time, right? That's why he spares no effort to hope to find more things for Deng Li......

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

Wand Ace: The wrong way.

、

Hogwarts Slytherin Common Room Bedroom

、

Back in his room, Opal rubbed his temples and exhaled.

What had happened in the hall was still vivid, but Opal felt even stranger that after Harry shouted to stop the snake, almost all the students in the hall looked a little solemn, and even looked at Harry with fear in their eyes.

Although Opal remembers the first time he met Dumbledore, who had mentioned that the people who could crawl were basically related to Salazar Slytherin, and almost without exception were dark wizards, Opal had always scoffed at this method of dividing factions based on language - only what she didn't expect was that this kind of division that she considered "weak" would be so receptive to the Hogwarts student population.

Of course, Opal didn't think that this was because all the people in the hall were affected by the "mentally handicapped aura", and that there was some historical factor at work that she didn't know was more acceptable to her.

So Opal naturally thought of the encyclopedia that had been used quite handily so far, the black diary Jun "Memories".

During this time, Opal and this diary have been very happy, not to mention the diary's help in the usual processing of official documents, the mere fact that the consciousness in the diary is exactly the same as Riddle after materialization is enough for Opal to continue to use this diary.

Of course, the negative effects of using this diary were naturally minimized under Opal's deliberate attention - although it cannot be said that there is none, but they are still within Opal's tolerance. However, this does not mean that Opal has fully trusted the journal.

[I'm back.] ]

After opening the door to his bedroom, Opal said as he took off his shoes.

"Welcome back, didn't you say you're going to the dueling club today? Why did you come back so early? ”

Diary Ben-kun floated over from the half of the room that had been specially divided into a study, with a puzzled face on his face.

[Something happened, so the event ended early.] ]

Stepping barefoot on the soft carpet of the room, Opal stretched and moved his body, [Speaking of which, what were you just doing?] ]

"Just looking at the documents you left behind. Purely just to pass the time. ”

In response to Opal's question, the diary only shrugged his shoulders and gave this explanation with a calm expression, "Speaking of which, with your family strength, wouldn't it be better to study directly in Germany?" Why do you have to come to England? ”

[It's also an experience.] ]

Opal could only be vague about this, and then changed the subject, [Speaking of which, do you know the reptile language?] ]

"Crawling language? Isn't that a special bloodline talent that only people of Slytherin bloodline can have? ”

As if surprised by Opal's mention, Diary-kun raised his eyebrows, "I'm a little curious, how could you suddenly care about such a thing?" ”

[So do you know that there are families with Slytherin blood...... Not right......]

After a slight pause, Opal, who was already nestled in the chaise longue in his bedroom, frowned and modified his words while holding the hot coco sent by the house-elves, [Speaking of which, the bloodline of the Potter family should be the same as that of Weasley, inherited from Gryffindor, right?] ]

"The Weasleys don't know, but the Potters have rumors."

The journalist didn't really care about this, but floated to the chair directly opposite Opal and sat down, "But Slytherin blood...... By now, there should be no other branches except for the Gaunt family, which fell into decline decades ago. How...... Are you interested? ”

[Well, sort of.] ]

Because he felt that there was nothing to hide, Opal told the truth, [because I had just discovered tonight that the Potter boy was able to speak, so I was a little curious.] ]

"The golden boy who didn't die?"

[yes, so I think it's a little weird.] I've also read the relevant information about the Potter family in the student archives, and so far I haven't found any corresponding marriage records. ]

"The kid?"

Diary-kun sneered, "This tone sounds weird, you don't seem to be as old as the kid in your mouth, right?" (Celestial: Opal's birthday is October 9th, Harry's birthday is July 31st, and Opal is indeed younger than Harry in terms of age.) Opal was actually supposed to be in the same class as Ginny, but because of Dumbledore's relationship, he went to school early. ）

[Long-winded!] ]

Because he can't refute it completely, Opal can only hate to change the subject, [What do you think about this. ]

"Didn't you say that the Potter kid was from ...... Did Voldemort survive at his hands? And there is a ...... on the head The scars Voldemort left him ......"

After a pause in what seemed to be a subtle tone, Diary Ben-kun continued, "Maybe there is a connection between the two. ”

[Are you talking about power transfers?] It's not impossible......]

Holding his chin in thought, Opal nodded, [That makes sense.] ]

"Why, you're interested in this."

[I'm just curious.,Now that I've figured out what's going on.] After all, I still have business to do. ]

After drinking the hot cocoa in one gulp, Opal stood up and moved his muscles for a moment, then walked to his test bench, skillfully operating the corresponding equipment, [Speaking of which, does your side have enough energy?] ]

"So far, the supply is normal, but you know it's a palliative treatment."

After a pause, Diary-kun looked at Opal and said with a tentative tone, "Seriously, I don't understand why you still don't agree to sign a contract with me. Obviously, you also said that I was very ...... with that person."

[No matter how similar, you are not him—just as I am not the 'Opal' you remember.] ]

Stopping the potion in his hand, Opal interrupted him in an unquestioning tone, his blood-red eyes narrowed slightly—for a moment, the diary thought he had seen another self, [You and I know what the contract you are talking about, as a Slytherin, does this temptation make sense?] ]

She had tried it when she was in the Secret Realm of the Lake, but Riddle had no recollection of a similar existence to "Opal" in the past.

"Hehe......"

Raising his eyebrows noncommittally, with an unfathomable smile on his face similar to Riddle, Diary-kun chuckled and stopped talking, as if the proposal just now had not happened at all, "It's not too early, and those potions don't need to be configured for the time being, after all, you still have to deal with those documents, don't you?" Laziness is not a good habit. ”

[Why did you bring it up again when I forgot it so hard?] It's rare to want to be lazy once! ]

Opal, who knew that someone was deliberate just now, was about to lift the table when he heard a knock on the door: "Opal, are you asleep?" ”

[Pansy?] ]

After hearing the voice of someone outside the room, although she wondered why Pansy came over so late, she still walked over and opened the door out of politeness, [Is there something wrong with this late?] ]

"It's about tonight...... Hey?! ”

Pansy, who was talking as she entered the door, frowned as if she had seen something, "...... you Opar"

[Huh?] What's wrong? ]

Unable to understand why the look on Pansy's face had changed, Opal looked at her with some confusion, "Is there something wrong with me here?" ]

"Nothing...... Probably because I'm nervous. ”

He laughed dryly, and though he wanted to put his arm around Opal's neck and ask her why she hadn't thrown away the troublesome journal, Pansy thought it would be better for Pansy not to act rashly until she had confirmed it.

[Pansy's recent behavior has been strange, is it also intimidated?] ]

Tilting his head, Opal asked his question directly.

"Sort of...... But how do I think you're more calm than us bystanders? ”

Sitting in the chair in Opal's room, Pansy glanced at the snacks on the coffee table, "Did anyone come here just now?" ”

[No, I'm just used to having a bedtime drink.] ]

After a pause, Opal snapped his fingers and asked the house-elf to bring me a tranquil tea and a little heart, [Pansy has something to do with me.] ]

"What do you think of tonight's events?"

[Tonight's thing?] ]

After a pause, Opal realized that Pansy was referring to the fact that she was almost attacked by a snake, [I wasn't directly attacked anyway.] What can be said about this? ]

"Harry can speak snake language...... Don't you feel worried? ”

[Worried about what?] At that time, he wanted to stop the snake from attacking me! ]

"You know Harry is trying to stop the snake...... Wait a minute......"

As if aware of something incredible, Pansy's eyes widened as she looked at Opal, "What does Opal mean...... Do you understand snake language? ”

[Is it strange to be able to understand snake language?] ]

Opal looked calm about Pansy's fuss, [As long as the mind web or the magic web are connected correctly, no matter what kind of creature the language is, as a psychic whisperer, I can understand it. It's just snake language, what's so hard to understand. ]

"I'm X ......"

Holding her forehead with one hand, Pansy finally couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and whispered in a voice that only she could hear, "This ability to open up...... It's been a long time, so I didn't wear the original, but the same person? (Tianyin: Pansy, your complaint is really bright.) ）

[What are you talking about?] ]

Although Pansy's self-complaining made Opal embarrassed, she still pretended not to hear anything and put on a puzzled face, [What did Pansy think?] Foul language is bad behavior. ]

“…… I don't know if you're pretending to be confused or if you really don't know......"

Although he stared at Opal suspiciously for a long time, he really couldn't see Opal's thoughts with Pansy's current behavior, so he could only wave his hand, "I'm here for tonight's business." But it looks like you're unaffected, and that's great. ”

[If I really had the same IQ as most of the Gryffindor students, I think Slytherin students, especially second-year students, would cry.] ]

“……”

Pansy glanced at Opal speechlessly, and rubbed her temples a little weakly - the words just now have risen beyond the level of complaining to the level of poisonous tongue, right? However, the person concerned still said it for granted, and his tone was so sincere that it seemed that he was just stating the facts—although it was true......

Opal, you're a natural black bastard! (Celestial Voice: Pansy, are you still the truth?) ）

[Anything else?] ]

After a pause, watching Pansy finish her drink, Opal spoke.

"Nope."

Pansy, who knew that Opal was giving the eviction order, stood up consciously, and was about to go out when she heard a loud bang from the other side of the room.

[Ahh Worst! I forgot to put the potion on the heating rack to cool it down! ]

Instantly remembered the action of dispensing the potion before opening the door, and after embarrassingly recalling that the invigorating potion he had configured would not have an explosive effect even if the configuration was wrong, Opal immediately dodged back to make amends.

“……”

She's ...... Ignored?!

Pansy couldn't help but roll her eyes as she watched Opal's movements with a black line on her head - although she admitted that it was very rare to see Opal so flustered, but ......

Pansy raised an eyebrow as her eyes fell back to the spread out journal on Opal's desk.

Although the details of the plot have changed now, the general direction has not changed...... But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens......

After all, if something really happened, although she would definitely not be involved, but for safety reasons, at least for Harry, Ginny in the original plot was easier to deal with than Opal, wasn't it?

[Sorry sorry, there were some small questions...... Well? ]

After finally rescuing the Booster Potion, which had almost been scrapped due to the fact that the corresponding materials had not been added due to the long cooldown time, Opal returned and was about to explain for a moment.

Because Pansy wasn't in her room anymore.

Also missing at the same time was the diary she had forgotten to put away when Pansy came in.

Interesting......

The pigeon's blood-red eyes narrowed slightly, and Opal thought for a moment before gently curling the corners of his lips.

It seems that for some time to come, Hogwarts will ...... It's going to be a lot of fun......

It's almost Christmas anyway, so it's better to have more things to do, so that the students in the various colleges don't have to be energetic because of the lockdown during this time, isn't it?
