Chapter 061 Aftermath (I)

"The branch president at the time, and the only Slytherin to serve as prefect and student council president during Dumbledore's tenure as Headmaster." Draco looked appreciative, "He asked the Dean to duel on Hunting Day. He won, and the dean could not interfere with the development of the Hunting Society branch for ten years; The dean won, and he took full authority over the chapter. ”

"A temptation that can't be refused." Catherine raised an eyebrow, "The professor lost?" ”

"Yes, he lost, he lost very completely, it is said that even Dumbledore and the Dark Lord lost faith in him."

"And then?"

"The man is missing."

"Missing?"

"Yes, he disappeared not long after graduating, and it was rumored that he was killed for betraying the Dark Lord."

"Who the hell is he?" Catherine was curious.

"Regulus Black."

"Sirius Black's younger brother." Catherine exclaimed.

Draco nodded, equally incredulous at the relationship.

"When did they duel?"

"December 31, 1980."

"Wasn't that ten years old last year?" Catherine asked with a frown.

"yes!" Draco said helplessly, "According to my father, the people in the hunting club are actually very suspicious of my godfather's position, so except for the group whose identities have been made public at the beginning, all the people who joined later have chosen to hide their identities from him, and except for hunting days, they are usually not active, so my godfather can't even confirm their list now." It's just—" he looked at Catherine in confusion, "I don't understand why they're doing anything to you, especially when you know my godfather is at school?" ”

"The fire at the city gate has affected the fish in the pond!" Catherine shrugged and walked towards Snape's office, "They're provoking!" The professor's inaction last year prevented them from guessing what he really thought, and my presence made them think they had found his weakness. ”

"It's a pity that they miscalculated the strength of your 'prey'!" Draco smirked and followed her, "They all became prey. ”

Catherine smiled slightly, and before she could speak, she heard a hissing voice.

"Oh! O Merlin's beard! The serpent on the door of Snape's office, Andrew who had seen them from afar, exclaimed, "What the hell happened to you?" Young－Fairy!” Then it opened the door and shouted into the office, "Severus, come out and see!" Then Snape's roar came through the door.

"Draco, Catherine, what the hell are you guys doing!" At his voice, Snape walked out quickly, but when he saw Catherine's wolfish appearance and her hair that was not completely dry, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Water war at Christmas!" Didn't your brains burn out? ”

"To be exact—" Catherine shrugged, "Draco poured me on purpose!" ”

"I'm just going to wake her up!" Draco excused himself, "We met someone from the hunting party—"

"Hunting!" Snape looked at them in shock, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Catherine spoke about the first half of the story, then Draco added on what happened when she was knocked unconscious in the second half, and finally she concluded:

"There were eleven people in total, three in the common room, two in the round room that had just entered the dormitory, two in the fourth-grade dormitory, and the remaining four in the large living room of the third, fifth, sixth, and seventh grade dorms." Catherine's tone was very calm, as if she wasn't talking about what she had just experienced, "Because time was pressing, I just made them unconscious." ”

"It's amazing!" Snape said gloomily, dragging the two of them into his office and throwing them in chairs, then angrily ran to the fireplace and threw a pinch of Floo powder into the fireplace.

"Lucius! Narcissa! Come to me at once! Snape shouted into the flames.

"What's wrong?" Lucius immediately spun out of the fireplace, and when he saw a dejected Snape, he hurriedly looked at his son, only to see Draco looking at him with a blank look, and the other child present was curious.

Snape waited for Narcissa to arrive before he said, "Your son was very brave enough to provoke the hunting party. ”

"What!" The Malfoys exclaimed in surprise and ran to their son.

"They're the ones who bullied Catherine." Draco said aggrievedly, "I just saw it, help her distract them!" ”

"Are you sure you're not messing with her?" Lucius stomped the floor with his snake-headed cane and shouted discontentedly.

"She was knocked unconscious when I arrived," Draco whispered, "If I hadn't helped her hold off Dulac Stoko, she-"

"Draco!" Narcissa shouted angrily, "You went out to provoke Durak Stoko, don't you know how vicious this bastard is!" ”

"Five hundred house rules!" Lucius suddenly announced, and Draco's face immediately collapsed.

"Lucius, it's too much, and Draco didn't mean to." As soon as Narcissa heard that her husband's punishment was so severe, she casually said the most common excuse.

"None of us expected this to happen," Catherine said fairly, "Draco was just in a hurry. ”

"Then reduce it to two hundred." Seeing that his wife was still a little unbearable, Lucius hurriedly added, "Don't forget that he didn't use his brain at all this time. ”

When Narcissa heard this, she no longer defended her son, but just took Draco in her arms and whispered, "Remember, you can't be so reckless in the future, if you have three long and two short, what will you do with me and your father......"

Draco was in deep panic when he recalled the scene of the battle with Dulac at that time, but fortunately Catherine stabbed him in the right shoulder in time, otherwise it would have been ...... He didn't dare to think about it any longer, but shrunk into his mother's arms and grabbed his father's hand tightly.

Catherine looked enviously at Draco and his mother until a pill bottle was placed in front of her, and she looked up to see Snape with a blank face.

"Calming potions," Snape said coldly, "drink it." ”

"Oh." Catherine answered, picked up the bottle and poured it into her mouth.

Snape handed the other bottle to Narcissa, but in exchange for a very displeased look, he turned his head to see Lucius also looking reproachful.

Snape didn't bother to pay attention to their couple's oddities, turned two chairs into two four-poster beds, pointed to one of them and said to Catherine, "Go to bed!" ”

"Severus!" This time Narcissa finally couldn't help but speak, but Catherine had obediently climbed into bed and lay down.

"What's wrong?" Snape's tone was full of confusion.

Narcissa sighed, carried her son, who was already asleep, to the bed, pulled up the quilt and curtain for him, and sat down beside Catherine's bed.

Narcissa's movements caused Catherine to shrink back involuntarily, but Narcissa just helped her fix her hair, tuck the quilt, and then leaned down and gently dropped a kiss on her forehead.

Catherine's eyes widened in shock, her face full of disbelief.

"It's a reward for you," Narcissa said with a smile, "you're a brave girl." ”

Catherine stared blankly at her until Narcissa whispered, "Sleep," and she slowly closed her eyes.

Looking at Catherine's quiet sleeping face, Narcissa smiled and got up to draw the curtain for her, but when she turned around, she couldn't help but be stunned to see Lucius and Snape actually pointing their wands at her.

"What do you mean by that?" Narcissa asked silently.

Lucius and Snape hurriedly put away their wands and quietly left the office together under Narcissa's glare.

"Explain!" As soon as the door closed, Narcissa shouted.

"This ......," Lucius didn't know how to explain for a moment, but Snape took over, "She's Catherine!" ”

It's a simple sentence, but it has all the meanings.

Narcissa was stunned again for a moment, then said angrily: "She's also an 11-year-old girl!" ”

Snape and Lusiuston were dumbfounded.

"Do you still think she's just an 11-year-old girl?" After seeing what was going on in the Slytherin common room, Lucius asked his wife.

Narcissa didn't know what to say, but Snape replied coldly.

"Draco is only 11 years old, too."

This time it was the Malfoys' turn to be speechless.

"The other ten were stabbed to death after falling unconscious, except for Dulac Scott, who was beaten to death, and a total of three wands were missing from the scene."

"The number of things in that room is pretty much the same as it was ten years ago, except for the missing three daggers and the ring."

"If Catherine wasn't lying, then someone killed them all after they were gone."

"She probably wasn't lying, she just said there were three less." Narcissa argued.

"Is it necessary to conceal it, just three people." Lucius said disapprovingly.

"I smell the remnants of the potion of potions, and," Snape walked over and shook the two empty vials in his hand, "these are the sedative potions that Catherine took from me. ”

Lucius and Narcissa were stunned for a moment, and neither tacitly agreed to speak again.

"What about here now?" After a moment, Narcissa spoke to break the silence.

"Slytherin's affairs can only be solved by Slytherin himself." Lucius looked at Snape.

"I'm going to call Ixissi." With that, Snape went straight back to his office.

Soon, Snape brought Ixissi to Hogwarts, but instead of returning to the common room, he stayed in his office, activating the office's defensive magic, and after looking at Draco to make sure he was really asleep, he suddenly spoke.

"Get up! I know you didn't sleep. ”

The two children's breathing was still steady, but Catherine's eyes suddenly opened.

"How do you know?" Catherine asked, sitting up and looking at Snape.

"You didn't drink the tranquilizer at all."

"I don't want to be dependent on drugs." Catherine was stunned for a moment, hugged her knees and smiled with relief, "Why did you tell me to get up?" ”

"Narcissa." Snape said without a word, but Catherine understood what he meant.

She pulled up the covers and wrapped herself in the covers, looking enviously at the sleeping Draco.

"She's a mother." Catherine's voice was so soft that she could barely be heard.
