Chapter 284: The Castle - It's Not Clean.
"Mr. Sanchez." Snape said sarcastically in a familiar voice, dragging a long tone, "You are becoming more and more presumptuous now, relying on Dumbledore's favor, you dare to talk to the professor like this!" ”
"I think I'm very polite." Owen stared at Snape.
The eyes of the two fought to the death in the air with each other. The spark of passion even spread to Hagrid on the sidelines.
The temperature around me dropped a few more points.
Seeing that the situation of the war was unfavorable, they reached a stalemate.
Without hesitation, Owen took out his ultimate weapon.
He suddenly raised his head, let go of Bakar, opened his hands, took a step forward, pinched his throat, and pretended to recite in a deep voice, "My lover does not have eyes as bright as the sun. ”
"Her lips are nowhere near as red as coral."
Owen's slightly magnetic voice sounded in the woods, and the little wizards around him, especially Miss Granger behind him, stared at Owen with some puzzlement.
What is he doing here?
But before Hermione could figure out who Owen meant by 'she'.
Snape in front of Owen was furious!
"Enough! Shut up! ”
The muscles on his gloomy face twitched, and the huge mood swings made him look like a heartless madman!
"If the snow is white, her breasts will be dark brown—
Her hair is like silk, and her head will be splendid-
I've seen red and white roses, like silk yarn—
But none of them adorned her forehead—"
"I say! That's enough! He rushed over, grabbed Owen by the collar, and lifted him up.
"Ten Galleons for the scales, thanks to the patronage of the professor!" Owen looked him straight in the eye and said unhurriedly.
"Tell me, where you stole it from, where !!" Snape almost roared.
He looked crazy, and frightened the little wizards around him to withdraw directly from this woodland, for fear that bad luck would befall him.
"Professor, answer the question
Gotta add money.
Fifty-" Owen stopped, swearing that if he said one more word, Snape would dare to slap him in the mouth.
Immediately, he changed his tone and said slowly, "I don't know anything about the hidden mechanism next to the cabinet on the left side of your storage room against the wall, next to the dark compartment under the third floor tiles. ”
Owen opened his eyes and said nonsense, "I had no idea that if I pressed that mechanism, the cabinet in the storage room would automatically rotate and open, revealing a small room like a studio.
I didn't even open the locked drawer in the cabinet in my room, and unwrapped the dozens of letters pressed under a copy of the Advanced Potions Guide.
I swear.
I really don't.
Because it was Professor Dumbledore that day, he just asked me to go to your storage room and get some basilisk venom. ”
"Dumbledore!! Professor Snape's red eyes were devilish, terrifying.
It's like eating people.
He glared at Owen viciously.
Then a trashy look let go of his collar. The cloak shook like a giant bat and disappeared into the woods.
The spirit is like snow in a forest that can't be dispersed for a long time.
It was only after half a ring that the little wizards regained their breath.
One by one, they came over with palpitations.
"Merlin's beard!" Ron sighed in surprise.
Harry and Justin gradually surrounded them. Hannah didn't take the course.
"You're a hero!" He opened his mouth to speak.
Because he looked at Owen's hand, there was a small cloth bag in his hand, and there was a clanging noise in the bag, it must be Jin Galleon.
Absolutely, he couldn't forget the voice.
"Humph!" Hearing this, the little black man snorted softly, "No one-" accordion online "No one can know how to make money better than me!" ”
He pocketed the Garon that Snape had given him, then turned and walked straight to Hagrid.
"Bring it!" He said.
"What?" Hagrid asked, puzzled.
"Scales! Something or something! Owen said in a reprimanding tone, "It's a waste to put it in your pocket, the big fat sheep is not slaughtered, how can you marry a daughter-in-law in the future!" ”
"Do you want Madam Maxim to huddle with you in that hut? Or are you going to hold the rich woman's leg and lie flat for the rest of your life! ”
“.”
Hagrid stared at Owen dumbfounded.
The sudden offensive made him a little confused.
And Owen hasn't stopped PUA yet.
"Guarding the Golden Mountain, you can still be so poor! Find out the reason for yourself, has the salary of the key administrator risen after so many years, and has he worked seriously? ”
"If buddy had been guarding the Forbidden Forest, he would have been the richest man in the fucking wizarding world!"
Owen opened his mouth to be money, money, money, and vulgar. There was no such thing as a wizard's free and heroic temperament, but—Hagrid must admit that this time, he was right.
He never thought about these questions.
Before this year, he plans to die alone and spend his life with Hogwarts!
When Owen picked out these questions, he realized that he really needed to think about them.
I can't live like I used to be.
Work hard from today to have a house facing the sea and spring blossoms.
Owen squinted and took a small package from Hagrid's hand.
When I opened it, it was full of shell-sized scales, shiny, like diamonds, but very soft to the touch, like leather, and a little warm in my hand.
He looked up at Hagrid's eyes, which suddenly lit up.
I suddenly thought about it, "Do you want to buy a house?" He said mysteriously. I can lend you a loan! ”
"The annual interest rate will never exceed 25%, and wizards have a long lifespan, you can borrow for forty, fifty years, believe me, it will be very cost-effective."
He blinked, remembering that in Hogsmeade Village, in addition to the house on the main road for George and Fred, there were several more remote ones.
Ideal for listing for sale.
Hagrid, who was rarely unopposed, did not say anything against or explicitly refused, and his gruff face showed a solemn expression, and it was clear that he was really thinking about it.
As for Owen - he was certainly happy to see him buy a house.
It's better to teach everyone to have a house, so that he can make a fortune!
We're ready to enter real estate!
He weighed the scales in his hands.
"It's perfect for bracelets." Muttered to himself.
I already had an idea in my mind.
It's just that Owen didn't notice the girl behind him with bright eyes.
She was looking at his back with expectant eyes.
After the course.
Harry and the others went back to the common room.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Professor McGonagall suddenly appeared in the common room.
"Sit down over there, I have a few words to say to you." Professor McGonagall looked at everyone solemnly, "As you probably know, the Santa Ball is coming! This is a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament and a great opportunity for us to socialize with foreign guests. Yes, the dance is only open to students from the fourth grade onwards, but you can invite a junior if you wish."
On the other side, the same thing is happening in the Hufflepuff common room.
Professor Sprout looked at the Hufflepuff wizards and gently admonished.
"It's a tradition, you can invite your good friends to participate, of course only the opposite sex."
"Haha-" The onlookers smiled.
"Everyone has to wear a dress and robe, and this year's notice should have reminded you to bring it." Professor Sprout smiled and said, "Not everyone has such an opportunity in their student days, and I hope you will take it firmly, the ball will be held in the auditorium at eight o'clock on Christmas night and end at twelve o'clock at midnight." ”
The two professors respectively conveyed the events of the Yula to the young wizards.
It was as if to give them a lively life, and once again dropped a bomb.
In the past, the number of people who stayed in school at Christmas was always very small.
This year is different, and it seems that all the students above the fourth grade are going to stay.
As for the junior students, they are also trying to stay and enter the prom.
It's a 100-year-old feast, and no one wouldn't want to participate in it.
Compared to those wizards who have graduated, or who have not yet entered the school.
Even if they are not old enough, they are lucky.
Especially those girls, one by one.
The boys were surprised to find that Hogwarts had so many girls.
They were all dressed up and looked more beautiful and eye-catching than ever. The girls ate and laughed and whispered in the hallway, laughed loudly whenever a boy walked by, excitedly exchanging opinions and talking about what to wear on Christmas night.
Days passed.
The fiery castle never cooled down.
"I really don't understand these girls"
In the atrium, under the huge oak tree, two poking fellows were sitting on stone benches and talking to the girls who came and went.
"yes, why do they all move in groups?" Harry asked, "If this is the case, when are we going to wait until they are alone and catch one of them to make a request?" ”
As they went, a dozen or so girls walked by, looking at Harry and Ron, smirking secretly.
The two Hanhan immediately changed into a silly smile.
"Maybe you can stun one," Ron hesitated as he looked at the girls, "Have you thought about who to invite?" ”
Harry didn't answer, he knew exactly who he was willing to ask, but not having the courage was another matter.
You know, Cho Chang is a year older than him, very beautiful, and a very good Quidditch player.
Her popularity is also very good, and it seems
————
At this moment, the sound of a girl screaming suddenly came from the corridor in front of them.
"Owen."
"Christmas prom, can you—" she said wryly.
But his eyes were blazing staring at Owen who had just passed by after class, and he didn't look shy at all.
"I'm sorry, but our dean won't let me attend the ball with the little wizards from the other houses."
Owen held his forehead and said a little numbly.
It was already the thirteenth excuse he could come up with.
If he continues like this, he will offend the professors of the whole school.
"What?" The girl was stunned, as if she didn't realize that she had been rejected.
And Owen—he lowered his head and flashed past the girl in a moment of stunned moments.
It's true - as charming as your brother is, don't all of you invite him.
I was blocked four or five times on the way to class, and I was almost late for this, but fortunately, Professor Runiwen didn't care.
"Owen—" Before he could walk down the stairs to the atrium. Someone stopped him again.
"Prom."
"I'm sorry, I couldn't go to the ball that day, and Professor Snape caught me to boil potions." He didn't even look at the man.
With his head down, he turned like a machine gun, spat out the dark plan Snape might be working on, and then turned around and walked away.
Step on the stone steps and exit the hallway. Owen took two steps towards the oak tree.
Suddenly.
As if remembering something, he jerked back, and then rushed over quickly.
"Did you just invite me to the ball?"
"Yes, yes." The man was shy, twisting and pulling an envelope out of his bosom. "That-that-that-"
"Wait, you wait!" Owen gripped his forehead and took two steps back as if afraid.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and his face became gloomy. "I'll give you another chance to reorganize the language, what are you looking for me for?"
Originally, he thought that his very threatening eyes and tone would repel the other party, let him know his way back, and turn straight, but he didn't expect that when he spoke, the person suddenly blushed, and then his eyes were shining, and he looked at him enthusiastically.
It's like saying, please—please keep lashing me!
???
"Wardfa!"
In the next second, a spell lit up on his fingertips, and the gray light, with terrifying power, directly knocked the pervert in front of him away.
He flew a dozen feet before he landed.
But there was no fear on his face, but full of joy, embracing love.
"Gan!"
His gray eyes were fixed on the boy.
He was considering whether to hang him on the oak door of the auditorium as a warning.
And at this moment, in mid-air, another book suddenly fell to the ground, it should be the wizard's, originally he didn't care, but when the book was churning in the air, the pages that were turned happened to let him see it.
The unsightly painting made him shiver!
Owen walked briskly.
Pick up the book and flip through a few random pages.
“.”
The world seems to be pure.
Complicated memories of the past come to mind, a week in a dream! Lorne, Miss Malfoy, and Miss Snape seemed to be possessed by his soul at this moment.
This. This. This.
Who the fuck drew this "My Days with Miss Hufflepuff" of My Day!
Who!!!
The corner of Owen's 'bloodthirsty' (tsundere) eye scanned the young wizard who was watching.
Suddenly, he really felt that there were a lot of girls, and their eyes were quite strange when they looked at him.
It's not a laugh.
This gaze came from all directions, and he seemed to be isolated, like a lone sail in a raging sea.
Especially when he made eye contact with the girls, they hid their faces and smiled
This made the great demon king who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and pushed the world sideways, feel an inexplicable fear for the first time.
They all know?
You know?
Hogwarts weaves a web he never knew existed, and it was or had surrounded him!
Could it be that he has been oppressing all the young wizards by himself for several years, so they have come up with this dirty way to try to defeat him spiritually?
!!
It must be said that they succeeded in infuriating Owen.
After a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he decisively rushed towards the boy who dared to confess to him.
"Say, where did you get this comic book?" Owen walked over quickly, approached, pinched his collar directly, and lifted it up.
scolded him and threatened: "You'd better tell the truth obediently, otherwise I won't let you see the sun tomorrow!" ”
His might did shock the boy for a moment.
But soon the fear turned to a crimson and welled up on his cheeks.
- He's so A! I love it so much!
"!" Owen hurriedly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
Disgusting – it's disgusting.
He looked at the boy with the eyes of the trash, then turned his head - and ran away.
"Oh my God! He's so pretty! ”
"yes, yes! It's even more beautiful than last year! ”
"Did you notice his eyes? Gray-green yes, oh! Oh my God, he's looking at me. "There was a commotion among the girls.
When Owen looked at them with disgust, the group of girls actually showed an excited expression, "Good A, good A." My sister will look at me again! ”
In a word, Owen almost stumbled and fell.
Crazy, crazy!
This spicy chicken school is crazy!
He walked briskly out of the hallway.
The stares around him made him uncomfortable.
What kind of demons and monsters are they?
Owen escaped.
It was the first time he had encountered something he couldn't overcome.
How many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods have exploded in a dance party.
For the whole afternoon, Owen hid in the shadows to investigate who had painted these disgusting and boring paintings.
But in fact, he didn't gain anything at all.
All he found was one piece of information, and that was that the comic books seemed to appear in random corners of the castle every once in a while.
Then there will be a mysterious society, and the Rotten Girls Society will find these comic books and distribute them to their members.
Owen didn't know how long the society had been around.
But the book in his hand, Days with Miss Hufflepuff, was already the thirty-second issue.
At night, he didn't tell anyone about it because he didn't want to lose face.
But the nightmare all night was uncomfortable, and it could only be said that he had seen things that he shouldn't have seen, and his head was dirty, and he deserved a nightmare.
Early the next morning.
As Owen packed up and walked out of the Hufflepuff common room, he met Harry and Ron on the spiral staircase.
He wanted to go up and say hello.
As a result, the two of them opened their mouths and said, "Hey, Owen." Harry waved at him, "Did any boy confess to you today!" ”
“.”
"Are you looking for a beating!" Owen said viciously.
"Did we read it wrong yesterday?" Ron said happily.
"Oh! Dear Sanchez, please accept my love! He bowed to Harry's gentleman, "I love you like fire!" ”
"Well—if you have a Golden Galleon, it's not—" Harry replied jokingly.
“.”
"I'm going to die! You two! He jerked out his wand.
The two Miss Granger pendants immediately fled in laughter.
"Hahaha!"
The sound of laughter filled the front of the court, and those who were resplendent in gold, seeing this laughter, it was as if they had experienced it hundreds of times.
For breakfast, no one seems to know what happened yesterday.
Those two guys were pretty buddies and didn't tell anyone else about it.
But that strange look in Owen could still be clearly felt.
After eating.
I watched as countless young wizards who had already found their dance partners walked out of the auditorium in pairs.
Harry and Ron finally couldn't laugh.
"Did you know that Harry and I spent two hours yesterday, and we didn't see a single girl."
"Uh-" Owen looked at the two of them as if he were looking at the two retarded, "I think you two should stay there and wait until you turn to ashes and see if you can meet a lonely girl." ”
"Two campus bullies are eyeing other girls. Do they dare to walk alone? ”
“.”
It does seem to make some sense!
The two looked at each other, and then both saw embarrassment in each other's eyes.
"Ahem!" Harry coughed lightly, "What about you, have you found your dance partner?" You've turned so many people down."
"There aren't many of them, either." Owen raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Yesterday, there were only four who confessed to me, five who invited me to the ball, and two - proposed to my buddies."
I really didn't expect this dude.
Sure enough, after the Americans came, the atmosphere at Hogwarts became open? ”
"And a wizard."
"Shut up, Ron Weasley!" He let out a loud shout.
"But—" Harry put away the smile on his face. "You've changed a lot."
"We see each other a lot and don't know much, and yesterday Ron and I were in the dorm room talking to Thomas. Didn't you even notice it yourself? ”
"Found what?"
"You should look in a mirror. I think you should have black hair, and now there are silver strands of hair on your forehead. And the eyes, the green part is getting more and more. Harry said solemnly, "The shape of his face is getting softer. ”
"Owen, are you sick?"
"Huh?" Owen looked confused.
But soon he understood what Harry was saying.
His appearance is indeed changing rapidly.
Since he received the blessing of Charon, some of the bloodlines in his body have been revived.
The part of his mother's blood that belonged to him was gradually revealed.
This had some effect on his appearance.
And just as they continued to discuss their Santa Ball dance partner, a bouncing figure ran over at the other end of the long table.
She wears an odd carrot necklace with the symbol of the Three Hallows on her chest.
Blue stockings wrapped around the calves, and the skirt rose and fell with the body.
It's like an elf coming from the forest.
"Good morning Owen, do you have an appointment for your Christmas party?"
It was Luna, she stared at him curiously with a pair of clear eyes, "You rejected Qiu Zhang's invitation?" ”
"Good morning. Uh- where did you know that? ”
Hearing this, Owen turned his head to look at her.
"I saw her go back to the dormitory a little sad, and she asked me before if you had found a dance partner."
In an instant, the smile on Harry's face completely disappeared.
But it didn't disappear without a trace, but it was transferred to Owen's face.
