HP Dawn Night

When I woke up the next day, Pansy wasn't in the dorm.Neither in the foyer nor in the auditorium.

"I have a hunch she won't show up this afternoon," Blaise predicted over lunch.

He hit the spot.

After disappearing for a whole day, Pansy finally appeared at the long dinner table.She looked very tired, but also very excited.

"Where did you go?"

She sat down, and mysteriously took out a piece of parchment, with a strange look in her eyes: "The library!"

Blaise nearly choked to death on the soup, and Draco slapped him on the back hard with vengeance.I subconsciously looked up to find Krum.Pansy turned my head back forcefully:

"There is no Nat relationship with Krum! I went to research Rita Skeeter." She waved the parchment ostentatiously.

"You're in love with her?" Blaise got Pansy a blank stare because of this sentence.

"Are you really going to make journalism your life's work?" I suddenly wanted to ask Moody to see if Pansy was under the Imperius Curse.

"This is not the issue to be discussed now," Pansy coughed artificially, imitating Skeeter's voice and intonation, "to live up to Professor Flitwick's preference for me and my astonishing excellence in Charms talent-"

"Get to the point!" The three of us interrupted her in unison.

Pansy smiled, and then picked up the parchment to show us: "Okay, okay, I went to the library to look up all the magic spells related to invisibility, and the result was the same as what we discussed last night - illusion Assuming it is a very advanced illusion spell, it may be able to escape the limitation of time, but unfortunately, people who can use this illusion spell are basically Aurors, and Skeeter is obviously not among them."

"But she might as well." Draco pointed out a problem.

"This gets to the crux of the matter." Pansy tapped the parchment, "I just learned that Skeeter has been banned from Hogwarts since the end of the first project. But Krum It was an invitation to Granger to go to Bulgaria during the second project."

"This can also explain why Skeeter is always wandering in Hogsmeade." Blaise seemed to regret the delay of his message, "because she can't come in."

Pansy nodded: "Hogwarts does not allow apparation and portkeys. Anyone can only walk in through the gate unless they pass through a specific Floo network or a part of the restrictions that are deliberately lifted. Obviously Skeeter is not It's worth the effort to make a dedicated passage for her, so she can only choose to walk into Hogwarts under the watchful eye of the warden."

"Is there any tool that can help her? Make her invisible, or escape the watchman's track?" Blaise asked.

Draco replied: "Hogwarts' defensive spells are very strict. There is currently no way to confuse it or avoid it. If forced to break in, then the castle will be aware of this. The cost is too great, Si Kit can't be that stupid."

Pansy also shook her head: "There are no recorded tools that can assist invisibility. As for eavesdropping, there are some magic props, but those are all based on Skeeter's invisibility." She emphasized.

"She couldn't have cast herself a Disillusionment Charm before walking in, and she couldn't have walked in," I said, and then I gave her a puzzled look, "but you still seem to be in a dead end, Pansy. "

"Theoretically yes. But after I thought about it with my super smart brain, I came up with two other methods." Pansy said proudly, "One, Agmanis; Gus."

"You do have a quick mind, Pansy," Blaise admitted half-truthfully.I followed suit and nodded.Draco added another bit of information:

"Both types of Magus need to be registered with the Ministry of Magic. We just need to check to see if Skeeter belongs to one of them."

"I checked!" Pansy turned over the parchment, and there were two lists on it.We leaned over to have a look, and it should be Agmanis and Yirongmanis who are currently registered, and I saw Professor McGonagall's name in the column of Agmanis—as we all know, she can turn into a cat .

"No Skeeter!" I stared at the parchment in surprise, neither Agmanis nor Yirongmanis had Skeeter's name under it.

"There's only one possibility, she's one of the two, but she's not registered," Blaise said quickly.

"Transfiguration Magus is born, and it is not easy to escape the sight of the Ministry of Magic. So it is unlikely that she is this."

"Is that Agmanes?"

"That's illegal." Draco was also stunned by the results of Pansy's investigation. "No wonder Skeeter is so rampant. She thinks no one can know how she got that information."

"Then what are you going to do now." I watched Pansy put away the parchment.

"Nothing," she calmly took some food to her plate, "Skeeter didn't offend me, I'll pretend I don't know."

Blaise nodded approvingly, and Draco agreed as well.

"And we have no direct proof," Draco said.

"How did you come up with the idea to investigate this? Just because you're interested in journalism?" I pressed.

Pansy's face blushed uncontrollably: "Well... I admit that I wanted to check Chasket's life at first, after all, she reported so many scoops. But gradually I began to wonder whether she is How to get first-hand information, finally..."

"You should be a reporter, Pansy." I sighed sincerely. "You can even find the secrets that Skeeter has hidden for many years."

"Oh, maybe I'll think about it." Pansy shrugged. "But I'll try to be a reporter with more work ethic than her."

"I remember we're going to be doing career planning next year, aren't we?" Draco asked.

"I remember yes." After all, my father gave me a Christmas present this year, which was a book on this topic.

Speaking of him, it really seems like we haven't spoken for a long time since I last slurred.The irony is that we're both trying to pretend the other doesn't exist.I don't know if Papa was upset, but I didn't feel well about it anyway.

I wasn't ready to apologize, and I didn't write to my mom about it, and none of my friends had any idea what was going on between us.I can't ask other people's opinions - and it's hard to ask.Again, I'm not sure how long this status quo will last.

"Vio? Vio?" Pansy called my name repeatedly.I just came back to my senses:

"Ah, what's wrong?"

"Draco is talking to you." She looked at me with accusing eyes, and I couldn't help but feel guilty:

"I'm sorry, I was distracted just now. What are you talking about?"

Draco didn't seem to mind my brief ecstasy, and he repeated: "I want to ask about your plans after graduation."

"I haven't figured it out yet," I admit. "Teaching and St. Mungo's are both good options. But my mother will probably want me to take up her mantle. How about you?"

"It seems that I am more interested in finding a job at a newspaper," Pansy said without much joy in his voice, "but my parents have a hard time. They don't care much about me, but they seem to have something to do with my life." planning."

When it came to Pansy's family, everyone tacitly chose to avoid the topic.

"My dad wants me to go to the Ministry of Magic, and I think he'll arrange that." Draco gave me a look, "but I'm not very interested in working in the Ministry of Magic, so maybe I'll choose something else .”

"What about you, Blaise?"

"Me?" Blaise blinked, "I've always wanted to take a long-distance trip, and after graduation, I'll have enough time to fulfill my dream."

"Maybe you'll be a botanist or a zoologist or something."

"Or historians. Well, whatever—remember to make Hogwarts more difficult." I made a joke, and Blaise understood:

"I'll try to get them to fail."

As dinner time drew to a close, the Durmstrang students got up and walked out of the dining room.I vaguely heard Granger's name from them, mingled with Krum's voice.

I took a sneak peek at Pansy, and there was nothing to criticize about her performance.It seemed that being Krum and Granger hadn't affected her in any way.

"Can I ask you an extra question?" When I got back to my dorm that night, I hesitated, but decided to ask Pansy.

"Is it about Krum and Granger?"

I opened my mouth, and Pansy smiled happily: "You are my friend, Vio, I know you just like I know myself."

I spread my hands: "Then are you going to answer?"

Pansy fell into a brief thought, and she looked up at the dark lake through the skylight: "I was very sad at first, after all, there are not many people in this world who would reject me. After I found out that his dancing partner was Granger , I was a little annoyed again—that's one of the reasons I came back early on the day of the prom. But now," she paused, "I don't think I feel anything for him anymore."

"Why," I turned over, "I thought he was your idol."

Pansy still has a poster of Krum on her bed.

"Yeah, but I only like the Quidditch star. In reality, Krum is just an ordinary person." Pansy said frankly, "I also thought that I was not the only one rejected by him, so that makes me feel like I'm not alone." I felt better. Gradually my feelings for him faded completely."

"You can think about it." I hugged the pillow and leaned against the head of the bed.Pansy smiled with a disillusioned look:

"Some things, just can't be forced."

I thought about what Pansy said.I have to admit that she is actually a very smart girl.

"Pansy, Pansy, you are much more open-minded and sensitive than me."

"Care and slowness are not a bad thing." Pansy began to change into her pajamas. "The so-called love has two sides."

"Then have you ever really liked anyone?"

Pansy paused for a moment: "Yes." Her voice muffled through the sweater, "But I... well, I'm not sure."

The author has something to say:

Rita: Miss Parkinson, please don't tell me I'm Agmanis.People leave three points for everything in the Jianghu, [hand over the book] As a gift in return, I can give you this book that I have devoted my life to——

Pencey: "Twelve Ways to Bewitch a Wizard"? !What the hell!

Rita: Yes, it's the companion volume to Twelve Ways to Bewitch a Witch!I usually don't give it to others easily!

Pansy: I've called the police. (Inner OS: Can you believe what you write?)

Rita: Mr. Zabini, we can make a deal. [Handing the book] I think you need this.

So in addition to the illegal Agmanis, Rita was also charged with selling pirated books QAQ
