Chapter 70: The Heir
Chapter 70: The Heir
Without asking Sephiroth how he knew about this secret, which he didn't even know about, Draco knew that the other party could tell him that he was already looking at his friend's face, and he couldn't ask the other party to tell his secret.
Even so, Draco was very grateful to Sephiroth. If this betrayer is not caught in time, I am afraid that many of the secrets of the Malfoy family will be revealed to Harry Potter by this bastard.
Perhaps it was too early for Draco and Sephiroth to run into the more exciting show that followed.
Something terrible happened, and this time it wasn't the inconsequential cat that was petrified, but the students who were attacked and petrified as well. Gryffindor's first-year student, a Harry Potter brain-dead fan - Colin Creevey.
Professor McGonagall spotted him, slumped down the stairs, still holding a bunch of grapes in his hand, seemingly for the same purpose as Sephiroth and the others, going to the infirmary, but the unlucky man was attacked before he could reach the door of the infirmary.
At this moment, the school could no longer deny the legend of the secret room, and the students were boiling, and they no longer believed the perfunctory words of the professor.
Hogwarts became panicked, they could no longer stay out of it, and this time it was not a cat, but a student who had been attacked.
Next time, it may be their turn.
The Weasley twins took advantage of the opportunity to make a small fortune by selling amulets that were said to be good for their own protection. Of course, smart people scoff at this, if something really happens, this kind of iron piece that doesn't even have magic power is not as effective as a wand in their own hands.
However, because the price of the amulet is not high, and the workmanship is excellent and beautiful, there are still many female students who like to buy one to hang around their necks, and it even became popular for a while.
Sephiroth had a hard time, or almost all the Slytherin students.
There are students who have been attacked, and coupled with the previous message, almost all the suspicions point to Slytherin, and of course, the boy Harry Potter.
One day, just as Sephiroth was finishing his meal and was about to find a free classroom to practice his spells, an unexpected person approached him.
That person was Pache Noregi of Ravenclaw.
It's a miracle that a girl who has always been seen only in the library and has received such a name as "the immovable library" has rarely walked out of the library.
"Follow me." The beautiful purple-haired girl Patchouli walked up to him, said a word to him, and walked away without hesitation, as if she did not doubt that the other party would refuse.
In fact, Sephiroth did not refuse, he was stunned and followed.
A beautiful girl, a handsome boy, Pache is a recognized school flower in Ravenclaw, and Sephiroth is also a pink school grass, and her talented appearance has attracted the ambiguous eyes of many classmates.
Last year, there was gossip circulating that a first-year Slytherin student was actively courting Pache Senpai, an intellectual beauty from Ravenclaw. The rumored person seemed to be Sephiroth, and seeing them walking together now seemed to confirm the rumor.
After all, Pache had never walked with a boy, and it could even be said that no one had ever seen her come out of the library with others, and many people admired Sephiroth who could pull Patchouli out of the library.
"Where are we going?"
After walking for a while, Sephiroth noticed that Pache was taking the wrong route, not to the library, nor to any other classroom or break room, but to the outside of the castle.
"This is not the place to talk, just follow me."
Without saying a word, Patchouli walked silently towards the outside of the castle.
Shrugging his shoulders, Sephiroth stopped asking questions and just followed. There was silence all the way, only the footsteps never stopped, and the "da-da-da" went away little by little with a monotonous rhythm.
A gentle breeze blows across the lake, and the clear black lake ripples round after round.
Pache led Sephiroth to the path of the lake, with the Black Lake on one side and the sparse trees of the Forbidden Forest on the other. It's quiet and very few people, except for small couples who talk to each other, and it's a great place to go on a date, and it's a treasure spot for Hogwarts couples to rest and date.
"Huh? I'm really flattered that it's here. ”
Rounding the couple holding hands and sitting on the grass, Pache and Sephiroth stopped in a remote place.
The couples who come here seem to maintain a tacit understanding, that is, not to interfere with each other, anyway, the venue here is very large, everyone can occupy one side, so that no one will get in the way of anyone. At a distance, it is a good place to talk about intimate love words, and you don't have to worry about being heard by others, and there will be no other people here who are curious to inquire about other people's conversations, which is indeed a good place to talk.
"Whew~ What do you know about the recent attack?"
A soft voice spat out of Pache Li's mouth, but the content was not so likable.
"What, I thought it was a date to call me out, do you think I did it?"
"Because if you follow what is written in the message, the heir of Slytherin, I compare all the Slytherin students in the school, including those who are entering this year, and the only ones who can be linked are you, Draco Malfoy, and Blaise Zabini."
Gazing at Pacully's eyes full of soft light and innocent without any malice, I'm afraid no one can lose his temper with this beautiful girl.
“…… Well, I can tell you that this matter has also been investigated internally by our Slytherins, and Zuihou can be sure that this incident really has nothing to do with us Slytherin, and none of the students are involved. ”
Although he didn't want to reveal these secret inside information, Sephiroth couldn't refuse to answer the girl's questions in the face of Pache Li.
"Is that so? That's great, Xiexie you! ”
Patchouli smiled and bowed to Sephiroth.
"Lately, even the Ravenclaw students have become suspicious, and it would be unsafe for such an attacker to wander around the castle."
Pache smiled mischievously and tilted her head, and this rare look suddenly made Sephiroth look cute.
"However, I remember that Pache Senpai should also be a pure-blood wizard, right, if you follow that prompt, it shouldn't have an effect."
Sephiroth thought about it, although he didn't know much about Pache Rich's parents, but the Norreki family was also a well-known pure-blood family. If Malfoy and Black are the Slytherins, then Norreki is the Ravenclaw family, and although they belong to different houses, they are still purebloods.
"No one can be sure if that guy is really only going to attack half-bloods and Muggles, it sounds like a pointless concern, but can anyone really ignore it?"
Pacouli's rhetorical question left Sephiroth, who knew the truth well, speechless, with Voldemort's heart, even if he was still a student, as long as he ran into his attack on people, I am afraid that even a pure-blood wizard would not be spared.
Voldemort is that kind of person, not to mention pure-blooded or not-blooded, as long as it is someone who disobeys him, even if he is originally his henchman, he can kill him without hesitation. Only care about yourself, this is why Voldemort Zuihou is unpopular.
With him, no one can guarantee the safety of his life, and even he is threatened, so there are still people who are willing to follow him.
Maybe he had some sanity when he was a student, but his performance after splitting the soul film couldn't be reassuring.
Wise people may have guessed the truth of the matter a long time ago, but the people of Voldemort's time were still alive. It's no wonder that Lucius and Dumbledore couldn't guess who opened the Chamber of Secrets last time.
"In that case, wouldn't it be nice to reduce the number and time of going out? I'm sure the professor will catch the attacker, so if you want to go out during this time, go with your friends. Especially you, Pache Senpai. You always run to the library without knowing it, probably through a secret passage. ”
"It's not incomprehensible that Ravenclaw would have such a secret passage, but it's dangerous to go out alone at this time and come back late."
This is definitely a word of conscience, even if Patchouli did not accept her invitation, no one would want to have an accident with such a beautiful girl. It's human nature to love beautiful things.
"Well, I'll be careful. I suppose that heir, if not in Slytherin, would be a trick, so don't be careless. ”
Pache knew that the Slytherin students would not give up on finding the so-called heir, and that only the Slytherin students would wander around the remote and uninhabited towers alone these days.
In the name of the heir of Slytherin, it is strange that Slytherin students are not curious.
"Don't worry, I'm a real fighter, and if I do, it's not certain who will lose or win. I don't think I'm going to be worse than anyone else! ”
Sephiroth smiled, waving his hand nonchalantly.
Joan of Arc's abilities were enough for him to despise a student-level wizard, and Sephiroth even knew who the attacker was, so if he still lost, he deserved to die.
Ginny Weasley, who is now controlling her to attack is a fragment of memories from Voldemort's student days, in terms of magic she is not as good as Voldemort's heyday, in terms of experience, he does not have the rich combat experience that Voldemort has since graduated, to put it bluntly, he is just Tom Riddle in his memory of his student days after all.
