HP Dawn Night

Chapter 167 Farce

The day of June 6th came quickly, and the dinner table was full of excitement—even the scary atmosphere of the exam was diluted a lot.

"This is probably the most arbitrary exam anyone has ever had." Draco sat down across from me, and Blaise yawned beside him.Draco teased: "Brace read the Charms notes last night until the wee hours of the morning."

"You don't have to say it, Draco." Blaise ruffled his hair lazily.

"Good luck, maybe you can beat Pansy in Charms." I finished the sentence quickly before Pansy reached out to scratch me.

Fortunately, the owl delivering the letter caught her attention in time.

"I hope that Skeeter woman doesn't have anything about the Triwizard Tournament," she said, opening the newspaper. "Let me see—poof—"

She glanced at the front page, and immediately squirted a mouthful of pumpkin juice on the newspaper.Not ladylike.I shoved the napkin into her hand.

"What's wrong?" Blaise and Draco asked together.

"This woman probably really escaped from St. Mungo's." Pansy wiped her mouth, cast a drying spell on the newspaper, threw it on the table and pointed to the front page, "Look for yourself."

"'Harry Potter—Distracted, Emotionally Dangerous' What the hell is that?" Blaise unfolded the newspaper. "Skeeter's masterpiece, after all."

Most of the Slytherin table found the article too, and Skeeter sparked their interest again.From time to time, there were small titters on the long table.

"How did Skeeter know that Potter's scar hurt in the divination class?" I looked at the text in disbelief, "We don't know about this!"

"And Parseltongue," Draco said, "although it's an open secret, but Skeeter knows it all too well."

"'A girl who doesn't want to be named'..." Pansy clicked on a line of words, "This person told Skeeter about the Parseltongue."

Thinking of the series of events before, I subconsciously glanced at Daphne.

And just then, she stood up with a newspaper in hand: "Potter! Potter! Hey, Potter!" she taunted, "how's your head? Are you all right? You're not going mad at us are you?" ?” she said, pretending to faint suddenly.

Many Slytherin classmates snickered and turned to see Potter's reaction.

"Show me," Potter said to Weasley, "show me."

While Potter read the article, everyone in Slytherin waited with bated breath for his reaction.Of course, the more Potter reacted, the happier they would be.

Finally, Potter folded the newspaper, but there was only a relaxed expression on his face: "Not so fond of me, is it?"

Here in Slytherin, Daphne tapped her finger on her forehead, made a grimace of a madman, and stuck her tongue out like a snake.Crabbe and Goyle smirked and copied her until Draco kicked each of them from under the table.Bulstrode reluctantly looked up to follow Daphne, but quickly dropped her head again when she noticed that Crabbe and Goyle had stopped.

A good show ended before it started because of the party's overly calm performance.The scattered laughter that first appeared on the Slytherin long table also gradually stopped. Smart people understand that today is not a good show. style.

Daphne finally realized that something was wrong, and the cheering audience all looked away, and students from other colleges even looked at her strangely.

Her eyes wandered bewilderedly, and fell on Theodore, who was pretending to be reading a newspaper, and on Astoria, who was discussing something else with her friends.

This has verified our guess.Pansy pursed her lips, turned her head resolutely and started eating from her plate.Basically all the Slytherin students behaved like her, and they quickly ignored the farce just now, as if the report had never appeared.

Daphne froze in place maintaining her ugly expression and movements.

"Daphne, Daphne." Burst looked at her in fear, and gently tugged at her robe.

I weighed it up and chose to pretend to be invisible like most people.

Daphne didn't move.I picked up the butter knife and began to spread the cheese on the bread, and Burst was still calling Daphne softly, trying to persuade her to sit down.Everyone at the long Slytherin table was calm and even chatted happily, but I knew that some of them were paying attention to Daphne's actions just like me.

"Get out of here!" Daphne suddenly shook off Bostrode's hand, and she spat, "Ugly!"

Bostrode was stunned, and she looked at Daphne in disbelief.The latter ignored her eyes and broke free from her hand.

Now no one could pretend not to see, Daphne rushed out of the auditorium like a furious whirlwind, and when she passed by Astoria, she stopped for a moment, as if she wanted to say or do something.But Astoria just looks at her innocently:

"Daphne, what's wrong with you?"

Then, Daphne made a move that added fuel to the fire. She suddenly raised her hand and pushed Astoria to the ground: "You don't need to pretend to be kind!" Daphne shouted angrily.

"Leah!" Theodore dramatically participated in the farce.His heroic appearance pushed the plot to a climax:

"How could you be like this, Daphne, did I do something to you?" Astoria stood up with the help of her friend, and now she stood face to face with her sister, with a hurt look on her face.

Theodore also looked at Daphne condemningly: "Can't you say something well, Leah is your sister after all."

"You're no good, Knott. You know it!" Daphne said bitterly with red eyes, "and you—" she suddenly called from us, "shut up or don't let anyone hear go!"

After leaving this thoughtless sentence, she rushed out of the auditorium.

"What are you looking at!" Draco scolded several junior students who were staring at us.

"The History of Magic exam is five minutes away." Pansy put down the knife and fork, "Let's go."

As we left the auditorium, Burst buried his head in his arms and appeared to be crying.

"I kind of sympathize with her." I looked back, and Pansy grabbed me back:

"But there's nothing you can do."

"Don't forget that Daphne is Burst's only friend at Hogwarts." Blaise reminded.I can't help but sigh:

"But it seems that Daphne obviously doesn't regard Bostrode as a friend."

"That's between the two of them," Draco reminded. "You remember that your mother came to the game today? The godfather—"

"Merlin!" I rubbed my hair frantically, quickened my pace and left him behind, "Let me think about what to do."

Blaise and Pansy laughed gleefully.

Based on the principle of "starting first is the best", I decided to find my mother as soon as possible after the exam and explain everything to her.

But plans never keep up with change.

When I meet Mom and Uncle Lucius and Aunt Narcissa in the foyer, I can only pray they don't come by Floo.

"mom!"

"Vio." Mom waved to me, I greeted Uncle Lucius and Aunt Narcissa, and Draco walked over.After saying hello to the adults, Pansy and Blaise went to the restaurant to eat.

"How did you get here?" I asked.

"Floo." Uncle Lucius replied, "Severus opened a special line for us, so it's much more convenient."

My heart was half cold, and Draco gave me a sympathetic look from behind him.But then, Uncle Lucius turned his head and tapped him on the shoulder with the snake head stick: "Draco, I remember today is the day of the final exam? How do you feel?"

Uncle Lucius began to lecture his son, and my mother led me to the auditorium.After walking a little further away, my mother said, "Are you serious about what happened between you and Draco?"

I rubbed the ring on my finger: "Well. I want to know what you think?"

Mom didn't answer right away, she sat down with me at the long table: "Do you know the meaning of this ring very well?"

"I think so."

"You are all only fourteen or fifteen years old, and you are still just children in our eyes," my mother said to me seriously. "Is it a clear thing to make such a promise at this time?"

"Mom, we—"

"You don't need to answer in a hurry, Vio." Mom's eyes were a little dazed, "I just want to remind you that your life is just beginning a small part, and you will encounter many problems in the future, and there may be cracks between you , there will be quarrels, so when the time comes, can you mend the rift and go on together?"

"Mom, although we are only fourteen or fifteen years old, I have known Draco for more than ten years." I said eagerly, "I really can't think of anyone in this world who is more suitable for me than him."

"Marriage and love are completely different, Vio, you may be suitable for dating in Hogwarts and walking in the snow together, but you may not be suitable for marriage." Mom raised her hand and pinched the bridge of her nose, "Once the ring You can’t take it back easily when you send it out, it’s not a symbol of love but a responsibility, do you understand?”

That's when the Malfoys came in through the door, and Draco's eyes met mine, and he winked at me.

I replied absently, "Of course I understand."

"We'll discuss this topic later," my mother said decisively. "After all, the focus of tonight is the competition. I'm very excited when I think about it."

"Mom," I seized the opportunity, "Did Dad tell you anything before, such as the content of the game?"

"Severus only had time to see us before he was called away," Mom said. "He might be one of the Triwizard patrols."

"Oh, really……"

"Haven't had Hogwarts food in years, and I hope the house-elves are as good as ever." The dinner bell rang, and the golden plates were suddenly filled with our usual dinner, but it was obviously more substantial.Mom's attention was suddenly diverted.

Unexpected answers.

I put a steak on my plate, feeling either relaxed or more tense.

The author has something to say:

Happy New Year again!Eat, drink, and have fun~

Well, the role of the supporting role has been sublimated again - Theodore is still a blurry silhouette, it will be clear later

Ma Ma's attitude, I can only say that I don't agree very much [This is puppy love after all!
