HP: I’m working on redemption at Hogwarts

This morning, Hogwarts once again had a petrified victim after a winter day. I heard that it was a Gryffindor boy who wandered in the night, and was now lying pitifully on the floor in the hospital wing.

Astoria was sitting on the sofa in the corner, and the warm firelight from the fireplace nearby gave her whole body a misty soft light. She sat quietly, holding the dark diary in her hand with her eyes dazed.

"Leah, do you want to go to the library together?" Rosa and Shiblanco were dragging the reluctant Chloe, holding the History of Magic textbooks and notes in their hands, probably for the quiz in the next class. prepare for.

"...No, I don't know what's wrong. I always feel heavy and exhausted. Maybe I have to go back to the dormitory and take a nap later." Astoria shook her head helplessly and squinted her eyes. Rosa smiled apologetically.

"It's okay, I will lend you the notes I compiled." Rosa waved her hand and thoughtfully told Astoria to have a good rest.

"You don't have to go to Ganaria, maybe I can -"

"No!" Rosa and Siblank rejected Chloe's intention to be lazy in unison, startling her.

"Leah, she can pass the exam without reviewing, can you do it?" Siblank glanced at Chloe up and down with disdain, and hit Chloe's slouched shoulder and neck hard with the fan handle in his hand, gesturing for her to start. Spirit.

"Pfft!" Astoria smiled sheepishly, but it was mostly because of Chloe's cute expression.

She blinked at Astoria aggrievedly, and the bunch of highlighted green hair behind her ears seemed to dim along with her owner's mood.

"Let's go, let's go!" In the end, Rosa and Shiblank still forcefully pulled Chloe away. Astoria just waved goodbye to the three of them behind her back.

"Come on and study!"

……

Maybe it was because the fire in the fireplace was too warm. At some point, Astoria leaned on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep. In the dream, there seemed to be a figure begging for her in terror. The frightening scream made Astoria suddenly Wake up with a start.

She clutched her chest and couldn't stop breathing heavily. The beads of sweat on her forehead reflected her red cheeks, which made her feel particularly uneasy.

"Leah..." A high-pitched voice called Astoria's name. She immediately looked up and saw Draco sitting opposite her at some point.

"It's Draco, what's wrong?" Astoria breathed a sigh of relief, and the uneasiness in her blue eyes dissipated a little.

Draco didn't speak. He just stared at Leah quietly, with dark emotions in his eyes. He held the corners of the sofa fabric firmly in his hands, as if he was worried about something.

"Draco, what's wrong?" Astoria repeated again, her eyes patient and warm, as if Draco could tell her anything.

"Leah..." Draco opened his mouth, seeming to be hesitating about something, but finally seemed to have made some kind of determination, and raised his eyes to look directly into Astoria's clear eyes.

"You are the heir to the Chamber of Secrets, right?"

Astoria's heart suddenly thumped, her pupils shrank, and her expression became slightly stiff.

"Why do you ask that question?"

To be honest, Astoria never thought she would be an heir. But the blank memories that appeared from time to time recently, as well as the sudden increase in victims...everything made her feel uneasy.

"Leah, it's okay. Those Muggles shouldn't be in Hogwarts. My friend's identity as the heir sounds... good!" Draco seemed to have mastered some secret, and looked a little... He raised his eyebrows proudly.

"No! This is not very good!" Astoria suddenly shouted loudly. Her face was pale, her eyes were red, and she was leaning on the sofa helplessly.

Draco noticed something was wrong, and for a moment he was a little unsure of what he said. Looking at Leah in front of him, her helpless and pitiful body was curled up into a ball, her shoulders shaking from time to time, and her expression could not be seen clearly.

"Leah...I didn't mean that. Are you in trouble? I want to help you..."

Draco approached cautiously, his hand constantly caressing Leah's back to comfort her, his brows were knitted together, and there was uncontrollable worry in his eyes.

"I don't want to hurt anyone, and I don't know what's going on!" Astoria's voice was filled with tears, and her body was still twitching uncontrollably.

Sure enough, she cried...

Draco didn't know what to do, so he could only rub her back and try to say some comforting words.

"Maybe you can tell me what to do? Oh god! I'm really bad at comforting little girls!"

Draco muttered quietly, but there was not much impatience in his expression, he just wanted to avoid making Leah sad as much as possible.

"Draco..." Leah raised her head helplessly, her tear-filled sapphire blue eyes staring at Draco expectantly, and then she threw herself into his arms.

"I don't know what should I do? I don't remember what happened? I don't know what it's all about?"

"It's ok, Leah, it's okay, I'm here." Draco's neck was hugged by the thin arms, and her delicate body was hanging in his arms. Draco could only pat Leah patiently. On the back of Ya's neck, he silently spoke words of comfort.

……

one day ago……

Late at night, Draco, who was awakened by Goyle's thick snoring, kicked the instigator out of bed irritably. He was even more annoyed when he saw Goyle still sitting on the ground with a confused look on his face and yawning.

"Goyle, maybe you can restrain your snoring, which is noisier and more annoying than a bad bird?"

"Sorry, Draco." Goyle was not affected at all. He stretched and climbed back into bed, covered his head and fell asleep.

After such a torment, Draco was even less interested in falling asleep. Looking around the dark environment in the dormitory, he saw that everyone was sleeping peacefully in bed without being affected.

Afterwards, Draco left the dormitory out of boredom and planned to do other things in the common room.

At the top of the stairs, only a few pinging noises were heard, and Draco immediately squatted on the corner without going downstairs.

"No, what am I hiding from?" Draco laughed at his thoughtless behavior. He immediately stood up and walked out swaggeringly.

I only had time to see the conspicuous golden curly hair spread messily on both sides, and the girl in green pajamas disappeared outside the common room door.

"Leah..." Draco frowned, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes. But he didn't hesitate for long, and immediately raised his feet to catch up.

"Leah! Ahem...Leah..." Draco, who was about to shout loudly, realized that he was traveling at night and subconsciously lowered his voice.

But the blond girl still had her back to Draco, her body stiffened like a body that had lost its soul, and she slowly walked away.

"What happened?" Draco hesitated, looked back at the closed stone wall at the door of the Slytherin lounge, and finally turned around and chased Astoria in the direction where she disappeared.

"Leah—Leah—" Draco called breathlessly, but received no answer.

"Sa ah ha sha sei... sar ah hiss..." came the ethereal female voice that seemed to have a chill in it. Draco's pupils suddenly tightened and he swallowed nervously.

He reacted quickly and hid behind the sculpture at the corner of the corridor. Through the gaps in the stone sculpture, he could see the blond girl standing in front of a huge thing in the open space in the distance, tenderly reaching out and touching its clammy scaly skin.

Snake... basilisk! ! !

Draco's already pale face turned even paler, his gray-blue pupils suddenly dilated, and he subconsciously covered his mouth and retreated.

chap——

In an empty castle late at night, a small sound will attract special attention.

"You, what kind of monster are you!!" Someone stepped forward before Draco. It was a boy wearing a scarlet school robe.

Leah, who was next to the basilisk, had empty eyes. She slowly turned her head and glanced at the boy wearing Gryffindor robe without focus, tilting her head slightly.

"I'm going to tell the principal! Those classmates really have something to do with you Slytherins!" The boy kept yelling, cursing and making a fuss recklessly, which made it very noisy.

The basilisk was the first to become impatient. It twisted its long and thick body slightly and slid towards the noise maker. The scales covering its body shone even more coldly in the moonlight.

Before the basilisk did anything, the boy screamed in fear, turned around and ran away. At the same time, the basilisk's chilling pupils also met the boy's fearful eyes through the opposite glass window.

The next second, the boy who was standing there screaming and preparing to run away had turned into a stiff and gray stone sculpture.

"Ahhhh-" Draco was so frightened that he sat on the ground, immediately attracting the attention of everyone and monsters in the open space.

Astoria turned around slowly, staring at Draco motionless with a cold emotion in her royal blue eyes.

The basilisk, on the other hand, realized that there was another witness and prepared to approach Draco. Astoria frowned and raised her hand to touch the scales of the basilisk. The basilisk's thick body paused without hesitation, turned around and got into the pipe to leave.

"Lea... Leah, what happened?" Draco originally wanted to run away, but looking at the extremely familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of him, he couldn't help but ask.

Astoria still had that empty look on her face, staring at Draco coldly, and fell unconscious the next second.
