Chapter 072 Childhood

"No need! Catherine! Neville waved his hands in a panic and said, "I didn't do anything at all!" ”

"By the way, I can make you a map!" Catherine said to herself, "So that you won't get lost again." ”

"This—" Neville wanted to keep talking, but he really didn't want to get lost again, "wouldn't it be too much trouble?" ”

"No, of course not!" Catherine began to rummage through her pockets, "I'm going to have to study how the Living Point map works lately, and it's a good idea to get you an extra copy," she flipped out a wooden board and gestured busily with her wand, "but for now I can only give you a rough version of it, which can only show your location, not anyone else's whereabouts." ”

"That's pretty much enough!" Neville said gratefully, "My worst fear is not knowing where I am." ”

"Don't worry! The follow-up version will definitely satisfy your wishes! Catherine shoved the plank into Neville's hand, "Now allow me to keep it a secret. ”

"Thank you! Catherine! Neville was moved to tears.

"I'm still in business! Let's go first! Catherine patted him on the shoulder and walked briskly out of the classroom.

"Oh! Good bye! Neville's mind was so absorbed by the three-dimensional map that he didn't remember what he seemed to have forgotten until he reached his destination.

But he racked his brains for a long time and couldn't remember, and finally had to give up, and it was only five years later that he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten a question - who was the person who almost everyone wanted him to die?

Later, he had asked Catherine if he had remembered the question, if he had told Harry that she was trying to save the man, would it have happened like that? And she just smiled calmly and replied:

"If you can remember that, you're not Neville Longbottom!"

As Neville pondered what she had forgotten, Catherine had just rushed back from the kitchen to her dorm, only to find herself in the door.

"Why are you here?" Catherine could understand why Draco was there, but she couldn't understand how Harry showed them up.

The six of them immediately explained the bizarre experience before.

"After the twins left, there was chaos in the common room, and we felt that by leaving at this time, we would be able to expose ourselves and affect them." That's Gryffindor's rhetoric.

"Who would have thought that after Ixissiy returned from Hogsmeade, he would actually order martial law, so we can only let the three of them hide from you!" This is the Slytherin interpretation.

"Have you had dinner?" Catherine asked.

Six heads shook neatly.

"Let's finish it here first!" Catherine called Dobby and told him to bring dinner for seven, before leading them into the dining room, "I'll send you away." ”

"Solved" the problem in their hearts, the six second years immediately felt really hungry, and when Dobby brought dinner, the Gryffindors immediately gobbled it up, and the Slytherins also rarely let go of their reserve, Catherine had just overfilled her stomach in the kitchen, and at this time she could only drink tea to eliminate her bloating, so as not to have an accident when practicing Occlumency, and at the same time consider whether to hide from Snape what happened today.

Catherine didn't want to hide it from Snape, especially about her own life, if she didn't let him know, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable, but the two things of Horcruxes and saving Voldemort were really too involved, and she hadn't thought about the consequences yet, so she would never dare to act rashly, it seemed that she had to hide half and say half of it.

"Catherine, what about you?" Hermione asked her, "I was curious to look up your information during the summer vacation, after all, you are not a small name in the Muggle world, but those reports only mention that you grew up in an orphanage under the name of the Princes, and that you were adopted at the age of five because of the appreciation of the Princes. ”

Catherine flipped through her memories and noticed that because she was thinking too much, everyone else drank tea after eating, and then started chatting about their childhood, Draco, Brace, and Pansy began to show off their experiences, Hermione was not willing to fall behind to compete with them, Ron was able to make up for his eldest brother and second brother, and Harry could only show the "history of the passion of the house-elves", and now she was the only one left untold.

If it was half a year ago, Catherine would never want to recall her childhood, but in the past six months, she has relived it to the point that she has lost all feelings.

"Do you really want to know?"

Everyone nodded at once, except Draco.

The first time he met Catherine, he was warned by his father not to go near her, who knew that later his father actually gave them a chance to be alone, and then Harry's accident happened, and he lost his self-confidence for the first time, and his father partially revealed her information.

Draco probably knew that her childhood was not good, it was very hard, very difficult, and she had to work hard and do her best, so Catherine had what she is today, reaching a height that even his father did not dare to despise, and his mother had to take the initiative to show her kindness.

So he was curious to know what she had been through.

"Yes!" Draco replied in a tone of non-refutable tone.

"You've all heard that I was sent to an orphanage under the name of the Princes family in the first place!" Catherine smiled calmly, "Then I'll start with the orphanage." ”

The fact that the orphanage under the name of the Princes family is the training base for the "dominant" candidate is an open secret of the entire Princes family. However, there is only one "master" position, and there are hundreds of orphans in the orphanage, so the competition is very fierce.

There are only two ways to stand out from so many opponents, either be the best or reduce the number of enemies. But it's not easy to be the best, so many people choose the second option, so children disappear every day in the orphanage.

On her first day at the orphanage, Catherine saw a seven-year-old child sneak into the room where the babies were kept, and pour the contents of a syringe into the infusion bottles of three babies who were being slinged, and the three babies died that day.

It was also the first time Catherine truly realized the meaning of death, and since then the Grim Reaper's scythe has been on top of her head.

In order not to be treated in the same way as the three babies, Catherine soon discovers that she has the ability to remember, much to the delight of the people who run the orphanage, who immediately make her a priority.

Although Catherine no longer had to worry about death, she began to be forced to memorize many things that she could not understand at all, and the excessive use of her brain gave her headaches at a young age, and those people learned to do it in moderation, which lasted until she was five years old.

When she was five years old, the director of the orphanage prepared a list of exams for all grades from elementary school to junior high school, and she received perfect marks on the course, and the director immediately reported her situation to the top, and a few days later, Catherine met the Princes for the first time.

Mrs. Princes questioned Catherine a lot, and she was so pleased that she adopted the girl on the spot. Catherine thought she would never have to worry about death again, but when she arrived at Butterfly Manor and saw the group of girls adopted by Mrs. Prince, she realized that she was wrong.

Becoming the adopted daughter of the Princes means that you have the qualifications to become a "juggernaut" and even have the hope of becoming a patriarch. The competition always gets more and more brutal as you get to the back, and Catherine only then discovers that becoming the adopted daughter of the Princes is simply the possibility of dying at any time.

The Princes had no daughters, only two sons, so they adopted girls, and according to the Princes family rules, the "juggernaut" wanted to become the patriarch by marrying a member of the Princes family blood before the age of 30 and have a descendant.

In this way, the Princes brothers became the key, and the girls, in addition to reducing the number of enemies every day, were scratching their heads in front of the Princes brothers, and they were pretty, hoping to get their attention.

Catherine, on the other hand, was dull and insensitive, because she was too young and had been asked to memorize, and the Princes did not pay any attention to her after seeing her once, and the girls saw that she was not a threat to them, and put her behind, which made her secretly relieved.

Catherine spent all her time in boring training to save her life, and even developed the habit of attacking whenever something approached, because she often saw some of the girls in trouble because they were not vigilant enough.

Finally, when Catherine caught the attention of Mrs. Princes because of her excellent grades, the Princes brothers suddenly discovered that she was actually a beautiful embryo, and the group of girls immediately attacked her.

Catherine didn't know at first that she had become the target of that group of girls, until one morning when she got up for morning exercises, she suddenly found that on the floor next to her bed, there was a girl who was not breathing, it was obvious that she had sneaked in in the middle of the night, but she did not expect that the person who was chosen by death in the end was herself.

It was only then that Catherine noticed the attacks of the group of girls, assassinations, poisoning, traps, accidents...... It can really be said that she did everything, but she blocked them one by one.

But Catherine did not fight back at first, but waited until Mrs. Princes was disappointed in the appearance of the girls, and then she used the method of reciprocating the other to solve the group of girls one by one.

Because Catherine understands that the real decision of the entire Princes family is the daughter of the previous generation of Princes, the current patriarch of the Princes family, and now Mrs. Princes.

Sure enough, Mrs. Princes was pleased with Catherine's appearance, and soon after, at a celebration party held to honor her master's degree, she declared her the "master" of the Princes family.

Catherine was relieved to hear Mrs. Prince's announcement, and she thought that this time it should be over.

But then, she suddenly overheard the conversation of the Princes brothers, and they were about to drugged her in the wine and tried to rape her, and Catherine was so angry that she almost crushed the wine glass in her hand on the spot.

However, when the Princes brothers saluted her with the drugged wine, she pretended not to know anything.
