[HP] look at you

After the exam, there is a week to wait for the results. During this time, there are no classes and students can move freely.But in such a hot day, few people are willing to go to the sun to burn their fat. Most people either sit and chat in the shade of the hillside, or simply play cards and chess in a group in the dormitory.

At this time, it was the coolest place in the cellar. If the Potions classroom was not filled with the smell of potions and was too close to the Slytherin lounge, many students would come here to cool off.

Olivia and the others hid in the Room of Requirement. After the exam, they didn't bother to study. After playing cards for two days, she began to teach them how to play mahjong.

The effect is outstanding, and even Snape admits that the game is very technical and interesting.

"Why didn't the school just let us go home?" Marie couldn't understand after touching a card, "We can use owls to notify us of our grades."

Lily nodded in agreement: "Eat."

Olivia drew a card, it was a flower, and drew another card: "Maybe it is to let you experience the feeling of cutting flesh with a blunt knife."

Snape, who was sitting next to Olivia, rolled his eyes at the cards she played: "Are you trying to trap me?"

Olivia looked innocent: "My cards are bad, what can I do?"

Mary also had a bitter face: "You didn't let me eat a single card."

Lily said, "Eat."

"..." All three of them looked at Lily who had one card left in her hand.

The overwhelmed Lily changed the subject: "By the way, what happened to that Stone?"

"She didn't go to Professor Binns to get the book. Professor Binns deducted fifty points from Slytherin for disrupting the order of the examination room."

Olivia felt that this girl might be a little low on IQ, and she knew that she had to obediently run over to apologize in this situation, saying that she was just joking, and Professor Binns's no-nosy character might just be a big deal. up.But if she was really smart enough, she probably wouldn't carry out such clumsy methods as planting in the examination room.

Even if she didn't say Veritaserum at the time, what if other students saw it?What if the professor gets caught?Moreover, it is okay to report students from the same house, but this kind of behavior is completely inconsistent with the school philosophy of Slytherin with the highest collective honor, and will be dragged into a small black room.

Otherwise, why didn't she say Nicola's name at the time?

"But why did she do it? Did you have any trouble with her?" Mary asked.

"If you want to talk about contradictions..." Olivia thought for a while, and found that Nicola had really disliked her since the first day of school. "Maybe she also wants to use a room by herself."

"It's really unreasonable. It was arranged by the school, and you didn't occupy it yourself."

"And didn't you say that her roommate wants to live with you? Then she can live alone next semester."

Snape sneered: "What she wants is 'to be able to have a room by herself', not 'someone doesn't want to have a room with her'."

Olivia smiled without saying a word.

This matter might be because Nicola wanted to vent her anger, or because she was being used as a weapon like Hugh, or a combination of the two.But no matter why, if she failed, she would have to bear all the consequences.

She flicked the cards casually, then raised her eyebrows and smiled, and pushed the cards away: "Sorry, draw yourself."

"Ahhh!" Lily yelled unwillingly, "You actually have three cards in your hand!"

Snape asked, "Is this what you call a bad hand?"

"Naive." Olivia shuffled the cards leisurely, "There is no truth on the deck."

After torturing the three of them with no moral bottom line, Olivia, who had divided all the summer homework among the three, happily walked back to the lounge.

Snape, who later contracted her Potions and Herbs class homework, looked displeased: "Don't you feel ashamed to bully beginners like this?"

"I think." Olivia nodded, "But I still don't want to do my summer homework."

"..."

The door of the lounge opened, and the two walked in, both stunned.

Almost all the Slytherin students appeared in the common room in the common room, just like the night when the school started, Lucius sat in the center, chatting with his friends with a smile on his face.

Helena, who was the sixth grade prefect with Lucius, didn't sit with him, but sat against the wall, playing with her nails boredly.

I don't know if it's because Lucius' girlfriend Narcissa is sitting not far from him, she is too glamorous to avoid suspicion, or Lucius doesn't need a deputy to share his power and status.

The seventh-grade prefect didn't show up. He's graduating at the end of this semester, and it's normal for him to stop taking care of Slytherin affairs—anyway, under the brilliance of Lucius, his sense of existence has always been weak.Olivia didn't even remember his name, it seemed to be Carlo.

Robert sat down with Lucius, his head hanging down, not knowing what he was thinking. Liana stood by the window with a few girls, and among them was Carlo's younger sister—well, don't care what her name is, anyway, her surname is Carlo .

The first-year students were all squeezed to the position near the door, and after the door opened, they all looked at the two of them in unison.

Lucius also noticed the movement, turned his head, and said with a half-smile: "I thought you had already left the school early, and there was no sign of you two in the whole of Hogwarts."

Olivia looked at Robert suspiciously: "I'm sorry, Prefect Malfoy. Is there any important occasion that I must attend today?"

Robert looked at her coldly.

Lucius laughed: "It was my mistake. There are a lot of things these two days. I want to deal with some things before the holiday."

Olivia respectfully made a gesture of listening.

Lucius turned to sullen: "Nicola Stone."

The girl with her head buried was shocked. She raised her head shyly, but she didn't dare to look at Lucius. She looked at Robert for help, and Robert avoided her gaze indifferently.

"For what happened two days ago, you need to give a detailed explanation here." Lucius' voice was cold, and his delicate face was covered with frost, and there was a kind of awe-inspiring power, "After all, in school Before the final College Cup, we lost fifty points all of a sudden, and almost lost our points to Gryffindor!"

Olivia looked at Lucius nonchalantly.

The 16-year-old boy has an unstoppable drive and momentum. His family background and his own strength make him full of self-confidence, and he is almost proud of everything.He perfectly inherited his father's appearance, brains and ambitions, and he was stronger and more alert than the corrupt and increasingly crazy Big Malfoy.

She couldn't help but glance at Snape.These two people have a kind of crazy, eager, eager to prove themselves in their bones.

Snape quietly pinched her, warning her not to lose her mind at such a time.

Nicola, who faced Lucius' anger directly, was trembling with fright, her eyes filled with tears, and she could no longer see her usual spoiled and willful look.

"..." It's impossible for Lucius to kill her. Is she afraid of being like this?Olivia couldn't understand.

She didn't know that the students in the lower grades had the same natural respect for the students in the higher grades as they did for the teachers.Moreover, Slytherin is not only dangerous in the eyes of other colleges, but in his own college, those families who follow the Great Demon King are also fearsome to these ordinary students.

Lucius continued to oppress without mercy: "Stone, your tears are worthless to Slytherin. What we want to hear now is your explanation of your behavior."

"I..." Nicola tried hard to restrain herself from choking, "I hate Orpington, so..."

Olivia, who was lying on the gun, smiled helplessly: "Then you can choose to continue to put spiders or snakes at my door?"

Seeing that Nicola was sobbing and didn't deny it, she really did it before.

"Whoever you hate or like is your freedom." Lucius showed a foolish expression, "But you never thought that no matter whether your plan is successful or not, it will be Slytherin who will suffer?"

Nicola wailed: "Sorry, I didn't think..."

Lucius interrupted her coldly: "I remember reminding you on the first day of school that Slytherin students must unite and support, and all behaviors that damage Slytherin's honor will be punished."

Nicola looked at him in horror.

Olivia felt something was wrong.

The person next to Lucius raised his wand, and a red light shot straight at Nicola.

Olivia rushed over and pushed her to the side, there was a soft "chick", and a scorched mark appeared on the carpet behind where Nicola was standing.

There were a few whispers in the living room, and the whispered discussions caused a small noise in the room.

Snape rushed over and pulled Olivia up, taking a quick look at her.

"I do not……"

"Have you been kicked in the head by a troll? What can you do? If there is no place to display your personal heroism, why don't you just go to the Forbidden Forest and feed that eight-eyed spider?"

"no……"

"Since your body always moves faster than your brain, I think you'd better cut off the part above the neck and use it as an ornament like that Nearly Headless Nick."

"Nick's head is almost missing, but it's still attached..."

Snape was furious: "You still dare to speak?"

Olivia twitched the corners of her mouth: "...don't dare."

"Stop your flirting for a moment." Lucius stood up and looked at Olivia with a delicate expression, "Orpington, explain?"

Olivia also looked at Lucius.

She hadn't expected that within Slytherin there would be a jinx on the students.She always felt that they were all just students, or children, and at most they were some ugly spells like "stick in the front teeth" or "Tarantella dance", and the one just hit the ground was enough to burn Nicola's body. a hole.

She looked around.Some looked horrified, some gloated, and others didn't care.

Robert's expression was a little strange. He frowned, as if surprised, but also dissatisfied.

Olivia glanced at Nicola who was still limp on the ground, and chuckled lightly: "Sorry, Prefect Malfoy, I didn't intend to question your punishment, but since this matter is related to me, I also want to Tell me a little bit about my opinion."

Lucius raised his eyebrows: "Oh? I allow you to make a proper explanation."

"As you all know, there's been a lot of funny little things going on lately against me, and my innocent friend Severus Snape."

"Innocent friend" Snape rolled his eyes.

"Of course, they are irrelevant. They are just some people who don't like my eyes and want to cause me some trouble. I can also treat them as a spice for a boring life." Olivia said lightly, still under everyone's gaze. He said with a smile, "However, since this time involves the honor of our Slytherin house, I have to face it squarely and let that person pay the due price."

"You mean—" Lucius said meaningfully, "someone ordered Stone to do that?"

"It's obvious, isn't it? If no one encourages me, this poor, stupid girl will at most curse my name and bite her quilt horns when she sleeps at night."

Someone chuckled.

"Stone should be punished, but since she is just an empty-headed puppet, we should also blame most of the mistakes on the manipulator behind it. Otherwise, wouldn't it appear that we are all stupid and deceitful? Prefect Malfoy thinks ?” Olivia asked with a smile.

Lucius met Olivia's gaze, paused slightly, and turned his head to look at Nicola: "It makes sense. In that case, Stone, tell me the name of that person."

Nicola glanced at Lucius in fear, hesitated for a while, and muttered a name in a low voice.

"It's slander!" Robert stood up, looking furious. "I never assigned anyone to do anything against Orpington. Stone, do you have any evidence that I ordered you?"

Nicola was shaking again, shaking her head in despair.

Of course, Robert was not stupid enough to tell her what to do directly. He just hinted at Orpington's arrogance in front of her more than once, and lamented that it would be great if someone could teach her a lesson.

"I will be very grateful to that person." He said sincerely.

So Nicola seemed to be encouraged, and courageously did what she wanted to do.

There is no way to say that her actions were directed by Robert.

Robert proudly raised his chin: "I'm now going to hold Stone for biting me indiscriminately, and Orpington, and I also wonder if you are dissatisfied with me, so you deliberately excused her and let her shirk it on me. "

"Then do you have evidence?" Olivia said calmly.

Robert froze.

"Since you say that Stone's identification has no evidence, then your suspicion is also groundless. Can I also pursue the malicious slander of Prefect Parkinson?" At this time, Olivia no longer Maintaining a hypocritical and polite mask, she directly broke face with him.

"You..." Robert panicked.

"Enough!" Lucius said impatiently, "This is not a place for you to argue!"

Olivia immediately shut up, and Robert wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lucius with a wave: "Stone's words really cannot be regarded as trustworthy testimony, but Robert, Liana, as the fifth grade prefects, you are responsible Control the words and deeds of the first-year students. No matter whether Stone's behavior is voluntary or assigned by her, you need to bear the responsibility for dereliction of duty."

"..." Liana, who was lying on the gun, made helpless gestures with her friends.

Robert said unconvinced: "Do I still want to watch her drink milk without being choked to death by myself?"

Lucius' expression turned cold: "Of course not, you just have to make sure you don't choke to death on the milk."

Helena, who had been studying her nail polish, finally raised her head: "Since the matter is in doubt, let's put it aside and investigate."

Lucius nodded coldly: "Stone will be locked up for three days, and will continue to work for one month after school starts. Since Robert is involved in it, first suspend his authority as a prefect. Liana, you are responsible for this matter."

Liana bowed slightly: "Okay, Prefect Malfoy."

Lucius left the common room straight away.

The crowd dispersed, and Olivia noticed that Narcissa looked at herself inquiringly, but she didn't take it seriously, because she was not the only one holding such a look.

Ignoring Nicola, who was still trembling and unable to slow down, and Robert, who had a stern face, Olivia and Snape walked into the common room, found a corner and sat down.

Snape, who had held back for a long time, sat down and said displeasedly, "You shouldn't meddle in your own business."

Olivia said seriously: "She just threw a book on my lap. If she threw a salamander, I wouldn't stop it."

She didn't think Nicola didn't deserve to be punished, but she didn't think her behavior needed to be taught that hard.

The wizarding world does not have clear legal provisions and concepts of right and wrong, but she does. She can follow the Romans and adapt to the lifestyle of the wizarding world, but she also knows what can be done and what should not be done.

Snape didn't compromise under her firm gaze, he insisted: "But you shouldn't use your body to stop it, if you don't move fast enough, the curse will hit you. Don't you think protecting a mean little People are more important than their own safety?"

"I actually used armor to protect myself..." Olivia's voice gradually lowered, and finally she raised her hand in surrender, "Well, I was reckless."

Snape was not satisfied: "So?"

Olivia had no choice but to make it clear: "There will be no next time, I promise."

Snape put on a face and let her go, but he still had doubts: "Just now, why did I feel that Malfoy...is protecting you?"

He recalled the fragment he had seen in Olivia's memory before, and the Malfoy family seemed to have had contacts with the Orpington family for a long time.But the wizarding world is such a big place, and it's normal for pure-blood families to interact with each other, so he didn't care about it at the time.But today, other people may not have noticed, but he clearly saw the eye contact between the two.

Olivia was silent.

Snape pursed his lower lip, feeling slightly dry for some reason.

It was so hot that even the cellar was stuffy.he thought so.

"Well, it's not something to hide." Olivia curled a lock of hair around her fingers, "From the point of view of blood, he is my cousin.

Snape froze for a moment.

Olivia shrugged: "My grandmother's surname was Malfoy before she got married, but she died early, so it's not too close."

However, the two families had frequent contacts when they were young. Lucius was five years older than her, and he often took her to the garden to pluck peacocks when they were young.Later, Voldemort's actions began to increase, and the two families had differences, and they gradually became unfamiliar.

Olivia couldn't help laughing when she thought of how Lucius was protecting her and crying when she was bitten by a peacock.Sometimes I can't help but sigh, it would be great if no one would grow up.

The author has something to say:

I caught a cold, and I was blue and thin all over.

I wanted to be lazy at first, but after thinking about it, I will feed you something to save you from starving.

Praise me, fast!
