Chapter 042: Make a Wish
"Thanks! Tracy! Catherine let out a long sigh of relief before she opened her eyes and looked at her pet, "Thanks to your help, my plan will succeed this time, and I can ensure that no boring person will challenge my authority in the next few years." ”
Tracey gently pecked her master's forehead with her pointed beak.
"I can't help it!" Catherine reached out and rubbed the back of her fingers against her pet's fat belly, "Since I'm a Slytherin, I have to follow the rules of Slytherin." ”
Tracey flapped her wings and brushed her master's fingers away.
"Don't do that! Tracy! Catherine reached out and held her pet in front of her, "You're the only one I can talk to right now." ”
Tracey raised her head and stared at the row of blackbird puppets at the head of the bed.
"He ......," Catherine said to her pet as she turned over to look at the neatly arranged row of puppets, "actually, I regretted it the next day, he was so kind to me, but I still had to be so demanding, it was really very ruthless!" But—" she paused before speaking in a serious tone, "but that was my limit after all, and I persevered in the end. ”
Tracey suddenly stretched out her wings and stroked her master's face.
"How do you know?" Catherine exclaimed, "yes, you've seen her sleep." The red-haired girl lay on the bed in frustration, "You know what? When I was at that ghost manor, the thing I looked forward to the most was that when I opened my eyes the next day, I wouldn't see K's face. ”
"I understand you," Tracey comforted by patting her master's head with her wings.
"Understand, there's a fart!" Catherine suddenly burst into a foul word, and her body jumped up from the bed, "I thought that when I came to Hogwarts and came to the wizarding world, I didn't have to worry about this anymore, but I didn't know that there was a Lily here. Evans, and she's still—" The red-haired girl's momentum slammed, and then the whole person became sluggish. "He loves people to the bone!"
[She's long dead] Tracey hung her wings helplessly.
"Unforgettable! Do you know what it means to be unforgettable? Catherine yelled at her pet suddenly and angrily, "That means that her is full of her in his bones and in his heart, and he loves her with all his life, so much that he is willing to do anything for her, and so much that he is willing to die for her!" ”
[Are you jealous] Tracey asked with her head held high, "expressionless".
"I ......," Catherine was discouraged for a long time before reluctantly admitting, "Yes. I'm jealous. ”
Catherine folded her legs in her hands and rested her chin on her knees.
"He's the first person I trust unconditionally, the pillar of my wizarding world—that humble house in Spidertail Alley, the safest place in the world - I really don't know—" Catherine shuddered uneasily, "and where am I going to go on this planet without him?" ”
Won't lose] Tracey shook her head unusually firmly.
"Won't?" Catherine looked at her pet in bewilderment, and when she saw Tracey raise her wings and point at the row of blackbird puppets, she laughed self-deprecatingly, "I got into the horns myself." ”
【Solution】Tracey saw that her master's negative feelings had disappeared. Then point her out what she should be doing right now.
"How to deal with it?" Catherine threw up her hands and grabbed her hair, "I really don't know what to do with it!" Because it's not me who is at fault. It was the professor himself who broke the promise he made, so, it seems...... It seems like...... Seems...... He should be the one who thinks about how to deal with it, right? She looked at her pet uncertainly.
Tracey shook her head. Again, somewhat uncertainly, rhetorical questioning.
"I don't know!" Catherine pressed her cheeks with her hands irritably, she really didn't understand how to deal with something like this, no one had taught her at all. She hadn't read it in the book either.
Tracey "Thinks" with her wings "supporting" her chin.
"It's indeed the professor's, but I don't think he wanted to have another pet for himself, he will take it, I'm afraid he wants to study the essence of the soul bead and see if it can be used in potions!" Catherine said in a natural tone, "Anyway, it will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being used, and instead of becoming a test subject of the professor like Douglas, it is lucky to end up now!" ”
[Not a pet] Tracey suddenly shook her head vigorously.
"Not a pet?" Catherine was puzzled and took out the box containing the soul beads, and took one of them into her hand, "Except for the largest one, with the energy of other soul beads, they can't form human souls at all, they are not pets, what else can they be?" ”
【Wish Crystallization】Tracey nodded quickly.
"That's just a metaphor for me to make the others understand—" Catherine saw that her pet was still nodding desperately, and finally couldn't help but take a serious look at the soul bead in her hand, "If they are really the crystallization of wishes and have the ability to fulfill wishes, then why do Luna and Megan hatch rabbits and pigeons?" ”
[Normal] [Harmony] The thoughts passed on by Tracey rarely paused for a moment in the middle.
"Ordinary? Harmony? Catherine frowned and pondered for a while before saying:
"It is said that Luna's overly sensitive magical sensing ability only appeared after her mother's death, and her greatest wish must be that she is still as ordinary as before, and her mother did not die due to an accident."
"As for Mega, she is a Muggle-born wizard, and she has been assigned to the most despised Hufflepuff, hoping that the classmates around her can get along with her, which is indeed the most urgent expectation for a second-year student who has only been in the wizarding world for a year." Catherine's brow furrowed slowly, but her gaze became hot.
"What about me? What is my greatest desire, my most urgent desire? Catherine held the Soul Orb in her hand and muttered to herself curiously.
【Kill Tom,) Tracey said as she waved her wings and shouted.
"Sanity! Don't be fooled by the word 'wish'! Catherine tapped her pet on the head, "'Tom' is a common name, even if it's 'Tom. Riddle' also refers to two people, but luckily the 'smart' one gave himself a specific code name - 'Voldemort'! ”
Catherine sneered coldly, and then became a little annoyed: "But he actually cut his soul into pieces, and stuffed it into some precious objects and me, if I make this wish, then the first one to be killed is definitely myself." ”
Tracey hurriedly pressed her wings together and made a begging look.
"That's why I said to be sensible!" Catherine once again taught her pet a lesson, and then began to analyze.
"This type of soul bead, even if you make a wish just now, it can't be realized, with its energy, no matter how you look at it, it can only be a happy pet, at most it's a guardian spirit-"
A flash of inspiration flashed in Catherine's mind, and she couldn't help but stop talking, staring quietly at the soul bead in her hand for a long time, before she said in a solemn tone:
"I hope Severus. Professor Snape could have a Patronus that he wouldn't discover, who could quickly notify someone he trusted when he was in danger, and who could get him out of danger when he couldn't turn to anyone for help. ”
The orb glowed faintly white, as if to evaluate Catherine's wish, and then a slight crack appeared in the bead, which grew thicker and thicker with the "click" sound, until the entire orb split in half.
A gust of wind emerged from the breach, enveloping the remnants of the orb and rushing into the air, scurrying around Catherine's bedroom. The red-haired girl and her pet kept an eye on it, but they couldn't see what was in the wind.
"What should I do?" Catherine had no choice but to ask her pet's opinion.
Tracey flattened her wings, her face was also full of "helplessness", who called Catherine Xu's wish was to help Snape find a Patronus, since it was a Potions professor, naturally she would not stay with the red-haired girl.
"If my wish is granted, it should have the ability to move in space, huh? Otherwise, how would it get the professor out of danger? Catherine asked, puzzled.
Her words seemed to remind her of something in the wind, and a silver light flashed, and the wind disappeared from Catherine's bedroom.
Tracey opened her mouth with a "dumbfounded" expression.
"Not bad! With its speed, it's really hard to spot, and with the ability to move in space at Hogwarts, it should be enough to get anywhere it wants, but now there are only two questions left-" Catherine nodded and commented, "Does it have the ability to communicate with humans?" And will it be able to take the professor with him to move around in space? ”
【There are so many requirements】Tracey squinted "鄙shì".
"It's a 'patron saint', and if it doesn't have the corresponding ability, how can I leave the professor's safety in its charge?" Catherine flicked her pet's belly angrily, and then her eyes lit up, "I need to find time to ask for its name, and if not, I can give it one, just in time to test its communication skills." ”
Tracy asked, clutching her stomach.
"That's a bit of a challenge!" Catherine held her chin and pondered, "I'm afraid I'll have to prepare a dangerous situation for the professor that he can't handle, otherwise it won't be able to test whether he can carry people and how far he can move them!" ”
Tracy opened her mouth for a long time before conveying her thoughts to Catherine: [Who is more unlucky]
As for the person and the "Patronus" that the red-haired girl was paying attention to, they both shuddered involuntarily at this time, only frowned and glanced at the closed windows and fireplace, and ignored them, while the other nervously wandered around Hogwarts for a while before returning to its guardian to observe.
