Chapter 126 Chapter 126
I pushed Potter away: "You are so abrupt, Harry."
"I...I know!" Potter, who was full of courage just now, was also discouraged, looking at me a little at a loss, he thought his actions might have scared me, "Sofina, I only……"
"Enough!" I stopped him sharply, and kept looking at the black cat with guilty eyes.If my heart was pounding just now because of Potter's confession, it's definitely because of the revelation.
Snoopy's eyes glowed in the dark corner, I don't know when she started sitting there, but I know she must not have missed the most exciting part!
My face became extremely pale.For me now, Potter's confession is like a knife, which is now being polished and pointed at my neck.
"I'm sorry." Potter looked at my anomaly, thinking that his confession had failed, and a disappointed expression appeared on his face, but this seemed to be in his expectation, with a wry smile on his face, "I It shouldn't be so abrupt."
I looked up at Potter, but this time he timidly avoided my gaze.
I hesitated in my heart and opened my mouth, but nothing came out.Potter's inner activities are more abundant than I imagined, and in just a few seconds, he seems to have experienced a brainstorm.
"Okay, I'll go first." He lowered his head, as if he had seen some answers, bypassed my body, and walked towards the stairs. Rather than walking, it was more like running away, like a cat The black puppy with its tail tucked between its ears and drooping ears ran away in a desperate manner.
I turned my head to look at Potter's back, feeling uncomfortable.The corridor of the principal's office is close to the roof. There is a huge crooked-neck tree blocking the sunlight outside. The entire corridor is covered in shade. It is the most suitable place in this autumn, dry and cool... But now I feel extremely cold .The black cat jumped down from the table and turned into a human form, with a distorted and wild smile on her face: "I can't think of it! I really can't think of it! Sofina! You are really capable! You can handle Malfoy!" The boy is already very good, I didn’t expect Harry Potter to have feelings for you!” She almost laughed and walked towards me, stroking the hair on my back, I turned my head a little stiffly: There is some misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding, I don't see any misunderstanding..." Snoopy's expression was very strange, "If the Dark Lord knew about this... I guess he would feel the same as me..."
"You want to tell the Dark Lord!?" I stared at her wide-eyed, and grabbed her arm with my backhand.If Voldemort finds out about this, I'm not sure what the consequences will be for me, "No!"
I used too much strength, which made Snoopy frown, she broke away from my hand and said: "The Dark Lord is so powerful, even if you want to hide it, you can't hide it! Why don't you let me keep this secret Go invite credit and make adults happy."
"You take credit for me! Have you considered my consequences!"
"You are the chosen warrior, the Dark Lord will not do anything to you, don't worry!"
"It still doesn't work...!" I became more and more excited, and my voice began to amplify continuously. The principal's office is not far away, and there are several professors staying there.The quarrel between me and Snoopy seemed to have alarmed them, and a figure hurried towards us.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Snoopy wrapped his hands around my neck and turned back into a black cat. My partner and I stretched out our hands to embrace her. Snoopy was still held by me, the green one Without moving her eyes from my face, she said softly: "If I don't want to tell the Dark Lord, you must go to Slughorn to find out about the Horcruxes within this week. You must Start making Horcruxes immediately."
I looked down at her and didn't answer, just swallowed.
"Ferres!" The professor who was striding towards us has already called my name, and it is absolutely impossible to slip away now.
Hearing this indifferent yet familiar voice, I breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to look at him.
Snape raised his chin and looked back at me through his nostrils, as if he would be very unhappy as soon as he saw me: "What are you doing again! You are still making noise! Do you know if you walk a little further ahead? Dumbledore's office!"
I can guarantee that his voice is several times louder than mine just now.
"I'm sorry, Professor Snape." I bowed my head and admitted my mistake.
But at this moment Snape's eyes stayed on the black cat in my arms.Snoopy felt uncomfortable being watched by Snape, she twisted her body, broke free from my arms, landed lightly on the ground, turned her head and ran away.
"I came here to look for my cat, which was just lost." I looked at Snoopy who had disappeared inexplicably, and explained.
"Professor Snape, what happened?" It seemed that Snape's roar had alarmed the others even more, and Slughorn also walked over from there, followed by McGonagall.
I think the gathering of professors may have ended, and everyone is preparing to leave the principal's office one after another.
"It's nothing." Snape looked at Snoopy, then at me, and waved at me impatiently, gesturing for me to leave.
I bowed politely again and left quickly.
"Miss Ferris is here looking for her cat," Snape said, turning to the others.
----------
I have been living uneasy these past few days. Firstly, I am afraid of Snoopy's informant, and secondly, I cannot face Potter. These days, I almost always walk around him.Although Draco's foot injury has not healed yet, but this time he applied for early discharge, and wandered around the campus with a cane every day. In order to protect his safety, I mostly acted with him.
But Draco and Potter are like two magnets that attract each other, almost once or twice a day, every time I come to this kind of time, I can only leave Draco and run away.
Third, it's about Horcruxes.Meeting Potter in Potions class was really unavoidable, neither of us wanted to lose the chance to meet Slughorn, and Draco had skipped a lot of classes because of a foot injury, and he didn't mind a little Small Potions class.
In class, Potter also pretended that nothing happened. He kept talking and chatting with his companions, but rubbed his nose and scratched his ears from time to time.
Slytherin has always been dominated by boys, and everyone is tall. I usually hide behind these "human walls" in class, and sit and experiment silently by myself.
Slughorn's Christmas dinner is also taking place this weekend, and I'm of course invited.In addition to the invited students, the professor said that they can also bring a dance partner of the opposite sex into the arena, while other uninvited people can only enter to work if they want to enter the arena.
My favorite is Draco, but he still needs the help of crutches to walk, which makes me a little worried.
"Professor Slughorn is going to hold a Yule Ball this weekend, and I would like to invite you to come with me, Draco." Seeing Draco sitting on the sofa alone in thought, I walked over and took him The crutch in front of him was removed, and he sat beside him.
Draco regained his composure slightly, turned his head to look at me: "Unfortunately, Sofina, I had other things to do that day." Draco seemed to be preoccupied, frowning, fingers intertwined uneasily.
I was still a little unhappy about Draco's refusal, but I looked at his appearance and guessed that he might have something on his mind, and his legs were indeed inconvenient to enter the ball.
If you go in with a cane at that time, I'm afraid it will be even more ridiculous.
"Okay." I nodded, and said with some disappointment, "You'd better take care of your leg injury, I'll go and see if there is anyone else as my dance partner." After that, I planned to get up and leave.Just as my butt got off the sofa, I was pulled back by Draco. My center of gravity was not stable, and I almost fell on him. I only heard Draco grunt: "Why are you so heavy?" !"
I got up from his chest angrily and looked at him: "What do you want again!"
Draco recovered some of his expression, and he no longer had the preoccupied look just now. He looked at me with some complaints on his face: "Can't you not find a dance partner?"
It is a rule that the dance partner must be of the opposite sex. If I want to find a new dance partner, I will definitely find a boy. Draco doesn't want me like this.
His request was a bit unreasonable, which made me feel angry and funny, so I pushed him: "You don't go by yourself! Can I just stand aside and watch when others are dancing with my partner?"
"I'm...I'm busy with important things!" Draco said with the corners of his mouth pulled, "Then I'll arrange a dance partner for you... Blaise!" Blaise yelled.
Blaise brushed his hair and walked over, put his arms on the back of the sofa and looked at us: "What's wrong?"
"Do you have a partner at the Yule Ball?" Draco asked.
Blaise looked at Draco with a weird look on his face: "I'm sorry Draco, the dance partner can only be of the opposite sex, I can't take you there...you can be Sofina's dance partner." He looked at me
Draco raised his hand angrily and bumped his arm with his elbow: "What are you talking about! I don't plan to go to the Christmas ball. Sophie is worried about not being able to find a dance partner. I think you can be her dance partner." .”
If I went with Blaise, Draco might be really relieved. Blaise also has a marriage contract now, and with a clear "secret love object", it is impossible for him to have any crooked thoughts about me.
Blaise let out an "oh", and seemed to think the proposal was good: "No problem! I'm also worried about not being able to find a dance partner!"
The Zabini family is engaged to the Parkinson family, but the relationship between Pansy and Blaise is only limited to friends. They made a fuss and never said anything again.
Although Blaise does have many suitors, but his vision is too arrogant, most of them look down on him.It's better to attend with me, and avoid those troubles.
——That's how things settled down.
Soon came the day of the dance.It's not a very formal place, I just picked out a dress with long sleeves and shoulders, and went out. When I came to the lounge, I saw Draco's crutches, but not his person.
Only Blaise was standing there in a black tuxedo waiting for me. I didn't ask any more questions, and rushed to the ball venue with him.
The dance party was very lively, and we could feel the lively atmosphere inside as soon as we walked to the door. After we handed over the invitations, we walked in.Seeing the tall and chubby Slughorn being surrounded by a group of students, he smiled ecstatically.
"Professor, hello." Blaise and I walked over to greet the professor
"Oh! Mr. Zabini and Miss Ferris!" The professor looked at us in surprise, but still had a smile on his face, "I really didn't expect that you would attend together!"
"Yes, neither of us can find a dance partner, so we can only make do together." Blaise showed a standard social smile
"It's hard to imagine you two worrying about your partner." Professor Slughorn turned around and handed us two glasses of champagne, "But since you're here, you can play with confidence! After all, today is Christmas! Merry Christmas!"
We took the champagne from him and clinked glasses with him: "Merry Christmas! Professor!"
At the ball, everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles.Many lower grades will get together to play games, but for the senior grades, this is undoubtedly the best place for a blind date. Although everyone comes with their own dance partners, most of them are like me and Blaise, Just to make up for each other.
They sit with their dance partners, but their eyes scan around, looking for new targets.
After I chatted with Blaise for a while, he seemed to have found new prey.Blaise told me he'd come back to me during the dance and wouldn't let me be alone without a partner and then left with his glass.
I sat in my seat and looked at Professor Slughorn, who was almost drunk. He was blushing, as if he was talking to the students around him about what he had experienced when he was young.
This older generation likes to talk about the heroic deeds of their youth.
And I tapped the cup lightly with my fingers, thinking carefully about how to get the words out of the professor's mouth later.
Today is Sunday, and Snoopy will come to me later and ask about my progress. I must give her a satisfactory answer, otherwise she will reveal my secret.
In the past two days, I have hardly been able to sleep at night. I am always worried that if Voldemort finds out about this and thinks that I have betrayed, he will continue to torture me with the Killing Curse and kill me in front of all the Death Eaters.
I looked at my glass and thought it would be a good idea to get Slughorn drunk and then set the tone.
Just as I was meditating, I didn't see a figure sitting beside me.
"Hi, Sophie." Potter looked at me with an awkward smile on his face, he looked uncomfortable.
I looked up at him in surprise: "hi...hi..."
"I think... I just want to apologize. I was really impulsive that day." Potter squeezed his glass, he was so nervous that he almost crushed the glass, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay." I smiled, I didn't dare to look directly at Potter, I could only pretend to look at the happy people elsewhere, "Thank you for your kindness, I... I am honored. After all, you are the savior, man Everyone's favorite Harry Potter...I didn't expect you to care about me."
I recalled Potter's actions at that time, and my heart was a little touched.Yes, he is a hero and a savior, and I am just a humble villain. I never thought that Potter would be tempted by me.I framed him and hurt him before... Potter's feelings are now like an extremely hot gem, held in the palm of my hand, too dazzling and too precious.Accepting it will only bring endless guilt in my heart, but if you say so, just refuse.
This is the love of the savior, and everyone will be a little moved.
"As I said, you are special, Sophie." Porter looked at my hesitant expression, as if grasping some hope, "My dance partner is Luna, I just came with her, she also said You are a special person... I just want to tell you that if you have the opportunity, why not resist?"
Potter was more obsessed with how to save me from the darkness, he spoke with some enthusiasm, his green eyes staring straight at me.
"Sofina." Coincidentally, Blaise came back disheveledly with his wine glass at this moment. It seemed that he was rejected by the girl he just fell in love with.He saw Potter sitting next to me, with a surprised expression on his face, "Why is Potter here?"
I didn't expect Blaise to come back so soon, and there was another stone in my heart. He looked at Potter and I sitting here chatting calmly, and he didn't know what he would think!
"Uh... well, we just chat casually..." I explained with some embarrassment
Potter couldn't sit still, but fortunately the person he saw coming was not Draco, so he was relieved.For someone like Blaise, Porter only defined him as a "follower" in his heart.
Potter naturally looked down on his followers, especially Malfoy's former followers.
Potter glanced at Blaise, then turned to me and said, "We'll talk next time."
After all, he left.
Blaise looked at me strangely: "I didn't know you had such a good relationship with Harry Potter."
"Normal. How did you go to find that girl just now? It looks like she was rejected?" I abruptly pulled the topic away, and Blaise curled his lips, and stopped asking too much about Potter and me.
Sometimes he is actually quite sensible, knowing which things he should get involved in and which things he shouldn't.
Blaise and I chatted about how he just hooked up with the girl over there, and then was chased back by the girl's boyfriend who is 1.9 meters tall.
"Sure enough, all the good girls are in their own right now." Blaise sighed, shaking his wine glass.
The author has something to say:
After reading everyone's opinions, it seems that everyone likes he a bit... In fact, my outline is tentatively set as be, but there is still time to modify it now.
But as for Porter's relationship line, after all, Porter is not the hero, so Porter's side will definitely be abused
For Draco, I will hold back a little bit and give everyone more candies, hehehe
