Chapter 69: The Return (Eighth Update)
When Draco heard this, he glanced at Benjamin in surprise, "You know it, what's wrong? Could it be that when you were resting here, you heard that it was closed?"
"Shut the door?" Benjamin was a little surprised at first, but then relieved when he thought of the origin of Ginny's necklace. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Obviously, the owner of that shop is the so-called Grindelwald hand.
Benjamin was still a little disappointed at the thought of not having a chance to see him himself.
However, he felt that Grindelwald would not give up, and this wizard who was at the top of the world in search of magical creatures all over the world made Benjamin very curious.
Will he one day make a comeback with a horde of magical creatures?
Benjamin suddenly felt that it would be nice if he could stand on the same level as Grindelwald, Voldemort, and Dumbledore at that time.
"What are you thinking?" Draco said in disgust, nudging Benjamin's body.
"Oh me, I was a little distracted. Benjamin immediately explained.
Draco shook his head helplessly, racking his brains not thinking of anything else to say, so he threw down a good note and hurried away.
By the time Benjamin was released from the infirmary by Madam Pomfrey, it was already the next day.
When Benjamin walked into the Hogwarts dining hall, he thought he had come to some primitive tribe.
A lot of people wear strange things around their necks, like tiger teeth, garlic, and a withered rat's tail.
Neville and Frank, of course, were more eye-catching, as the two of them bought a stinking onion, a spiky amethyst, and a decaying newt's tail to hang on their chests.
Some people told Neville that he was actually from a pure-blood family and didn't have to worry about it at all.
However, Neville's round face turned, and he said worriedly, "You know, I, I'm pretty much a squib. ”
When Benjamin heard this, he felt a little headache, and he couldn't quite understand why Frank was so close to Neville.
When Frank saw Benjamin, he was unusually excited. He walked over and said hello to Benjamin.
"Benjamin, I would have liked to visit you in the infirmary. It's just ......"
Benjamin sneered, he stared at Frank, wondering why something he wanted to say suddenly couldn't be said.
"It's nothing, it's good that you have your new friends. I just hope you don't forget who you are. ”
Frank immediately said with some trepidation, "I know, I'll listen to you." ”
Benjamin, however, shook his head, "What I'm saying is that you should pay attention to your identity and don't reveal it. ”
After saying that, Benjamin didn't care what Frank's expression was, and strode away.
When he arrived at the Slytherin table, Pansy and the others immediately took the lead in applauding him.
"Welcome back our heroes!"
Benjamin waved his hand and sat between Draco and Daphne. "Your welcome ceremony is so perfunctory that I feel embarrassed when I watch it. ”
Pansy laughed nonchalantly, "yes, I think that's good." You should know that some people are not so happy to hear that you saved Ginny!"
Benjamin nodded unexpectedly and said simply, "I'm a man." ”
Pansy immediately screamed exaggeratedly, "Draco, see no, this is a real gentleman!"
Draco gave Pansy an annoyed look, as if he didn't want to argue with her.
Astoria, who had been looking at Draco with a pair of obsessive eyes, whispered in Draco's ear.
Daphne smiled decently and greeted thoughtfully, "Fully recovered?"
Benjamin nodded, "It feels better than before." ”
Daphne hid her smile with a handkerchief, "That's good, but you seem to be surprised when you come in." ”
"You've got such a good look," Benjamin shrugged helplessly, "I just didn't expect people to be so scared." ”
"As a pure-blood wizard, you really can't understand their fears. Daphne lowered her head as if she was thinking about something, "But I wrote to my father about the Chamber of Secrets, and he told me not to think about it, and I wouldn't have an accident anyway." ”
"Your father should know something. Benjamin analyzed very seriously.
"Perhaps, but my father was more of a businessman than a wizard, and knew how to take advantage and avoid harm. ”
Daphne was a little self-deprecating.
"Then you are quite similar to your father. Benjamin couldn't help but say, the two of them glanced at each other, and after their eyes intertwined, they dodged very tacitly......
For the next few days, most of them were still in a trance, and worries and fears were written on their faces unabashedly.
Professor McGonagall also chose to remain silent after seeing this situation, saying a few stern words, and finding that it had no effect.
Harry and the three of them are very busy every day. Almost immediately after class, they would be the first to rush out of the classroom and head in the opposite direction of the break room.
Several times Hermione noticed Benjamin's gaze, and then quickly twisted her head away.
Benjamin was curious, but he wasn't going to ask himself.
He couldn't do that.
With Christmas two weeks to go, Professor McGonagall, as in previous years, walked from one long table to each house with a list of students from school to college.
She's going to start collecting a list of students who aren't going home for the Christmas holidays.
When Draco signed the list, Benjamin was surprised.
Benjamin didn't ask much, though, and he didn't follow whatever Draco did, like the stupid Kebra and Goyle.
Benjamin shook his head and pushed Professor McGonagall off the list.
Daphne looked happy, especially when she saw Astoria's displeasure.
"Benjamin, do you want to come to Greengrass Manor during the Christmas holidays?"
Daphne said expectantly.
However, before Benjamin could answer, Astoria spoke first. "Daphne, don't you know what it means for you to invite a boy to the family party!"
Daphne snorted unrelentingly, "Oh, so what? I'm sure Mother won't refuse a visit from the Ludwig family." ”
Astoria immediately stopped talking.
Benjamin could only awkwardly refuse, "I may have stayed at home and spent some time with my parents." ”
He didn't want to start a family dispute because of himself.
