Chapter 37: Fleur. Delacour's family business
A law spell that banishes creatures?
Facing Oriana's cold eyes, Brandi's heart suddenly set off a turbulent wave, and his mind was almost blank with a terrible guess.
He remembered very well that before leaving Hogwarts Castle, Sister Oriana had gently helped him take care of his hair, which he had been working so. The rich scent of flowers lingering in his nose and the hair fluttering in the air still make him still feel excited when he thinks about it.
It was she who took off the hair band that Parvati had given, and then told herself that the things given by important people should always be worn in the future... Don't take it off once you put it on.
It was she who said that casting a little magic on it would bring good luck to herself.
Thinking of this, Brandi's expression became extremely bitter.
Sister, your so-called good luck means that you can survive being attacked by that monster!
In this way, everything makes sense......
Why was she absent from the banquet she had just arrived at Beauxbatons, why she had repeatedly warned herself to remember the pact with her that she would never take off the silver ring, why she chose not to stay in the cantilevered tower with the others after the attack but wandered around the castle. And why, the weirdo suddenly gave up and continued to attack Wendy - Wendy must have struggled to the extent of the expulsion law, and the guy couldn't hurt her anymore.
The monster hiding in Beauxbatons Castle may have been brought in by her! Otherwise, how could she have known that there would be an attack inside Beauxbatons, and she happened to attach the corresponding expulsion spell to the hairband in advance......
The senior sister's gaze is still gentle, but Brandi's heart is like falling into an ice cave.
What a deep scheming! After lurking and preparing for such a long time, he manipulated monsters to search his classmates' dormitories, attacked Wendy who he accidentally witnessed, and even killed a completely unrelated Beauxbatons boy.
Sister, what do you want to do?
In the remaining half of the class, the absent-minded Brandi's heart was full, and his eyes were always focused on the back of the senior sister who seemed to be listening carefully.
How can you, who have committed so many unforgivable sins, still have the heart to listen to the lectures?
As soon as the bell rang for the end of class, Britney, who had always been a regular person, stood up in amazement - but Sister Orianna moved faster and was closer to the door, she didn't even carry her school bag, just dodged, and when Brandi chased out, the person had already disappeared into the corridor outside the classroom.
"Why! Oriana, why !!! β
So in the classroom, everyone heard Britney's angry and sad screams.
It can be painful to be deceived by someone close and trusted, even if she may have real good intentions about herself......
Brandi didn't report the information he had to the castle, nor did he tell Akihari and Katie. He knew that Senpai must have something to do with Beauxbatons' attack, but deep down he didn't want to admit that Orianna was the murderer; Second, there are too many suspicious parts of the whole thing, and it is very likely to be related to Voldemort and the Seven Seals.
He had to be a little more cautious.
After two big lessons, Beauxbatons was already at dinner time. Students streamed out of the classrooms on either side of each hallway, converging in a bustling stream of people, and then unstoppably rushing toward the first-floor cafeteria.
This made Brandy's search extremely difficult. If she really has any plans, then the first thing to do after the conspiracy is revealed should be to eliminate the evidence, launch a plan in advance, and even set a trap to kill people...... Instead of having a big meal in the restaurant, or returning to the cantilevered tower, patiently waiting for himself to come to her door and persuade her to turn herself in.
Libraries, outside castles, owl shacks, herbalist greenhouses and even dark and damp basement corners...... Britney, who didn't even have time to change her dress and high heels, held her wand in her hand, and stumbled up and down the castle in front of the eyes of passers-by, her hair loose and wet with sweat. It took him a full two hours, but he still didn't find anything, and Akihari's assessment of Oriana was very pertinent - at least the ethereal whereabouts were very pertinent.
He tried to ask the students on the side of the road if a girl in a dress was too beautiful to talk to pass by, but a few girls saw it, and then enthusiastically led him to the door of the club room.
When Brandi arrived, the pretty girl they called was teaching a whole bunch of little girls in their fancy dresses how to make their dancing look more glamorous.
She was wearing a pure white knee-length dress, and her two white calves were left outside, but they looked more dazzling than the skirt. His blue eyes seemed to be able to see his own reflection in them, and at such a cursory glance, a terrible impulse and enthusiasm swept through Brandi's whole body - and then the next second, the only remaining sanity made him blink desperately, and everything was back to normal.
"Miss Spears...... Hibiscus. Delacour was amazed at the girl's state, both in terms of her arrival and the ease with which she was once again free from her charm. "What are you doing here? I mean...... Do you seem to want to experience our Charm Club? β
The girls behind her let out a slight laugh, no way, Brandy's current appearance didn't seem to have anything to do with charisma.
"Did you see Oriana?" Brandi shuddered, shaking off the terrifying sense of loss of control in his body just now. Before he could catch his breath, he asked urgently.
This seductive girl was the last person he wanted to be near right nowβand if he could, he would not see her again.
"Oriana?" Fleur was stunned, "How do I remember that you kept calling her senior sister." You shouldn't know each other well, do you...... How did you think of running to ask me? β
Before she could finish speaking, Brandi turned around and walked away, not at all wanting to continue dealing with the witch - but that didn't mean Fleur would let him go easily.
After taking a few steps, Brandi had a headache to notice that he was followed by a large tail......
"Senior Sister Delacour, don't you have to do your club activities?"
Fleur grinned and grabbed his arm, feeling the change in tension to stiffness in satisfaction. "Club activities? It doesn't matter if you cancel the day at the last minute, they won't have any opinions. It's more important than that I'm going to find Miss Thomson with youβI just want to ask her what she's trying to do these nights sneaking into our junior girls' dormitory. β
"Girls' dormitories?" Brandi slowed down when she heard this, "She's been hanging out there a lot lately?" β
Speaking of which, it seems that it is really difficult to see Oriana in the dormitory at night. And Wendy seems to believe that she went out to find a man, a terrible reason in every sense of the word.
"yes!" Fleur fussed, "It's been a few days since then, she's been seen in the hallways there, almost every night, mysteriously - if it weren't for the fact that she doesn't talk to the girls she interacts with, I'd almost think she's trying to establish a presence with us." β
Seeing Brandi's puzzled eyes, she burst out laughing. "Don't you know? The girls' dormitory is a place where gangsterism is particularly serious~ But we won't here, at least not when I'm in school. β
β¦β¦ To put it bluntly, she just wants to show her status as the head of the eldest sister. Brandi rolled his eyes, he didn't have the time to be curious about the girls' dormitory, Oriana often ran there at night, and the seemingly unintentional actions must contain a purpose.
"There's a question, Miss Delacour. How exactly is your girls' dormitory divided, and what grade does Orianna go to? He asked suddenly.
"Division?" Fleur blinked, puzzled. "Our girls' dormitory is on the west side of the castle and is divided into four floors, starting from the second floor, where the two grades share one floor. No way, the first floor is the ballroom... And then Oriana's words, they all went to the third floor, and over there was-"
"A third- and fourth-year dorm?"
"Well, I forgot that you knew Anna and Audrey well...... Hell if you don't know...... Hey? As Fleur spoke, she suddenly noticed that Britney's face was not very good-looking. What happened to you? β
ββ¦β¦ No, nothing. "I suddenly felt a little unwell and wanted to go back to my dorm room to get some rest." β
"So, I'll send you back?"
Brandi didn't speak, just walked upstairs unconsciously.
If it's an opportunistic move, it's too obvious.
Oriana, who insisted on squatting at the door of the girls' dormitory at night in full view of everyone, could really be the person who sent Audrey a threatening letter before......
Fleur said that she was sending Britney back to rest, but in fact, she didn't care about Britney at all. As if she had come across a beloved toy, she was full of curiosity about this rare guy who ignored her charms, and along the way, she kept asking questions, even about Brandy's family tree. Of course, Brandi would never reveal his identity as a Muggle at this time.
"Huh? Weird...... I haven't heard that the people of the Rozier family have any special talents in protective mind magic? Maybe your father's family has a good bloodline. β
Unwilling to bring the topic to her unsuspecting virtual parents, Britney had no choice but to bring the topic to her sister.
But I didn't expect that this time I could be regarded as touching the point that Fleur was most proud of, and Fleur, who had just said a word to find a topic, suddenly came to her senses and began to talk to Britney about her lovely sister who loves flowers and flowers......
At first, Brandi thought that the little girl named Gabrielle should be about the same age as Fleur, but she didn't expect that the difference between the two of them was actually eight years old!
"Wow, you don't know, Gabrielle is like a little milk cat when she sleeps on my lap!"
It is known that Miss Delacour is now in the fifth grade, so Gabrielle ......
Hiss~
Ahem, their parents are so capable...
ββ¦β¦ In a word! My sister will also be there to cheer me on Saturday when the duel between the two schools comes, and I'll take her to meet you when the time comes! Trust me, you're going to fall in love with her! β
