[HP] Seven Nights Talk

Chapter 102 Rumors

This process was too complicated and difficult, so Harry decided to take his time.He blinked, indicating that he understood, and began to think about the sequence in his mind.Of course, Hermione already knows some, she must be the first, then Ron and Hagrid, this stage may be longer, and finally the Headmaster, which is probably the hardest.Calculated in this way, no wonder it takes three years.Maybe it should be separated, for example, let other people accept his relationship with Professor Roald first-this doesn't sound so difficult, right?

But Harry had more to do than that.In addition to the prefect, he is now the captain of the Quidditch team. The first thing to do at the beginning of school is to select the goalkeeper, because Wood has not found a new player since he graduated last year.So he managed to find an excuse to leave his seat for a while and walk around the Gryffindor table to inform the players of the selection time.

Ron was far more interested in the matter than Hermione.Given his past experience, it was easy for Harry to convince him to go for the selection.He gave Ron a light wheel as a birthday present two years ago, and there is no problem in using it in training and competition.He always felt that if Ron was kept in a happy mood, he might be more likely to accept it in the end—although it might not be successful, doing it was better than not doing it well.

Fifth grade is the year of OWLs, and all professors start with this.In the morning class, Professor Binns talked about the giant war, and Professor Snape asked them to prepare a palliative.Harry had been picked on by Snape during this homework, and now he was secretly encouraging himself to complete it.He felt that he probably didn't have the ingenuity his mother had in Potions, but it was possible to follow the steps without making mistakes--he'd been doing it for four years.

After discovering that there was nothing wrong with Harry, Professor Snape's reaction to him was willful ignorance for a long time.Much the same today.He passed Harry's table quickly and turned to pick on Neville, as he had done so many times before.

Harry sighed silently in his heart, at least Snape wouldn't give Neville's potion a "Fade without a Trace" and then give a zero.But compared to this, he was more concerned about another thing - Voldemort hadn't shot Snape yet.In this way, it is estimated that it will not be too bad in the future, which is really a good thing.

After Potions class it was lunchtime.After the meal, the three returned to the common room.Harry had wanted to go out and talk to the twins, but perhaps he was lucky that Fred and George never came back.Their friend Lee Jordan told him the brothers were going to sell some of the telescoping ears before class in the afternoon.That's when the Marauder's Map would come in handy—he sneaked it out of the box under the bed and looked at it, making sure they were wandering around the Astronomy Tower before going downstairs.He didn't take this thing with him, just in case there was an accident.

This matter does not seem to have any difficulty.But when he turned to a corridor with a dripping balcony outside, Harry saw Qiu walking towards him alone, and his heart skipped a beat.Cho walks with her friends a lot of the time, but now...

Time didn't allow Harry to think about anything else.After all, they are closer than nodding acquaintances, not just opponents on the court.He grinned and greeted first.

Originally, Cho had a nervous expression on his face (Harry thought this must be the expression he had shown on Cho before, but now it was reversed), but after hearing his words, he became a little more relaxed. "I heard you're captain of your team? And prefects? Congratulations, Harry."

Countless people have said this to Harry since he got the two badges.He thanked him politely, then found himself at a loss for what to say.

Fortunately, Qiu had more experience than him.She first asked Harry why he didn't wear any of the badges on his chest, then mentioned the impact of not playing Quidditch for a year, and finally asked Harry if he could show her Granville The selection of the Fendor team.

Harry finally knew what he had to do, which was to refuse the request, regardless of whether he was interested in Cho or not.Although he knew that Qiu probably wanted to see him, or create opportunities to get along with him, but others didn't think so—as the captain, it's obviously not good to allow the Seekers of other teams to watch the Gryffindor team's training idea.

Cho looks a little sad at his reaction, but says she understands.That was the end of the conversation, and she turned to leave.

Harry didn't know if he should express regret or not.Just as he was about to continue walking towards the direction of the Astronomy Tower, he suddenly noticed a figure flashing past the edge of the balcony outside.With little hesitation, he chased out reflexively.The other was walking through the atrium, his signature hair color betraying him—

"Malfoy?" Harry called out in surprise.He didn't do anything just now, so what's there for the other party to secretly observe?Or was it just an accident that Malfoy happened to be passing by?

Hearing his voice, Malfoy stopped in embarrassment as he tried to walk away quickly.To be honest, based on what his dad had told him, he really didn't have much guts to piss Harry off now.We must know that their family's current position is awkward, and no accidents can happen, especially in key directions. "Ah, hello, Potter," he said dryly, blaming himself for his carelessness.He just retracted half of his head just now, who knew he would be seen?

Harry took two steps in his direction, and the distance between them was now a normal talking distance. "You just now..." he asked, wondering if he should accuse the other party of eavesdropping.

But he obviously didn't need to think about it, because Malfoy didn't want him to think he was doing something bad. "It's nothing else," he prevaricated, giving himself a passable excuse, "I just happened to pass by, and I happened to be a little curious."

"What?" Harry didn't think there was anything to dream about between himself and Qiu at all.Anyone can see that he didn't mean that?Or, did Malfoy know that he had something to do with Voldemort, so he thought he might... cheat?When thinking of this phrase, Harry's expression froze.

As a Slytherin who is good at observing words and expressions, Malfoy can certainly see that Harry's expression is not good.Even if he did have doubts about the relationship between the Savior and the Dark Lord, and would be right to want to know more, it wouldn't be nice to offend a key person.He secretly swallowed his saliva and tried to explain: "It's really just curiosity... I heard them say, you... I think you must know it too? But I know it must not be the case, right?"

"Can you make it clearer?" Harry asked him, bewildered, frowning.

Malfoy was visibly taken aback.Then he looked left and right, and said anxiously and quickly: "I just remembered, Crabbe and Goyle are still waiting for me, I'll go first!" Then he rushed into the nearest corridor, Fast as if dodging a crazy Bludger.

Harry stood where he was, very helpless at Malfoy's behavior of rubbing oil on the soles of his feet without saying anything clearly.What on earth must he know for sure?How many times is this the first time?He found that everyone seemed to be a little bit distracted?He thought about it, and decided that if he couldn't find out the reason in the afternoon, he would ask Voldemort in the evening.

With this mentality in mind, Harry reached the bottom of the Astronomy Tower.Fred and George were there, and there were a few Hufflepuff fourth years.The Hufflepuffs were taken aback when they saw Harry because they knew he was a prefect.Fred, who had his back turned to him, was also frightened at first, but he returned to normal when he saw the person: "How did you find us? Through that little prank?"

"Almost." Harry walked over and saw that the students were hiding something on him, but he just pretended not to see it. "Are you done? I have something to tell you."

George dismissed them all neatly.Then Harry pulled them aside, making sure no one else was around before making his suggestion.The twin brothers originally thought he was joking, but they didn't really believe it until Harry emphasized it again and again.And Harry was indeed not short of money, so they gladly accepted the proposal of taking a thousand Galleons as the principal, on the condition that they be careful and avoid Hermione when doing it in the future.

"Okay, we know!" Fred patted him on the shoulder, winked and said, "You are really kind to Hermione, aren't you?"

"Because we're friends." Harry breathed a sigh of relief after finishing his work, but he didn't hear any other meaning in it.

"Yeah, you're friends—" George repeated, drawing out the sound deliberately.

"Yes..." Harry was about to say yes, but suddenly he realized what the tone meant. "Wait? You don't want to be wrong, do you?" He was shocked.

"Of course we didn't want to go wrong." Seeing that he had finally enlightened, Fred said with a playful smile, "We all saw it. But others don't know!"

"Yeah, Harry, do I need to tell you the girls' leaderboard for Hogwarts boys?" George winked at him too. "You're at the top of the list, Harry. And look at yourself, except Besides Hermione, which other girl do you get close to?"

"But it's not..." Harry wanted to refute, saying that he and Hermione were just good friends, and the rumors were not true, but he suddenly figured out what was going on with this series of questions.

So Hermione threw a tantrum at him on the train, telling him to announce it, because she might have been irritated by the rumor; so Luna told him they were all wrong, because most people thought he and Hermione were a couple , and she found out that it was actually him and Voldemort; so Malfoy was watching his whereabouts furtively, because he heard what happened at the Death Eater's meeting, when in fact he saw himself with Cho and Hermione say--

That's enough!How many versions can the rumor spread?Has he become a man with two legs before he knows it?Harry was almost sure that if his classmates were allowed to write gossip news, they might all have the possibility of taking away Skeeter's job.

Harry was so outraged that Voldemort received a whole bunch of complaints like that that night.He listened amusedly, and finally said, "I thought you should have known. This thing started in the first half of the year. Only then was Krum, and now they obviously didn't make it."

"...Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Harry complained to him. "No wonder Hermione got mad."

"Why should I say that?" Voldemort laughed. "Anyway, it won't be long, and they will have new room for development. It's better to let them talk first, and then the focus of their attention will be that their judgment is wrong."

Harry stared.This new room for development is undoubtedly the truth, and he is still observing the situation. "Hope this does help a little..." he said dryly, and then recounted his encounter with Malfoy today.

"Oh, nice opportunists," said Voldemort sharply, "but they know it's no big deal. Anyway, there's no way Lucius would go to the Order of the Phoenix."

So you just keep hanging them?Harry couldn't help saying something in his heart.It sounds a bit miserable, but he doesn't intend to take care of it.This is probably one of the tacit understandings between them, each responsible for a place.So, should I have time to talk to Ron or Hermione on the weekend?Thinking of this, he subconsciously arched to the side of the other party, moved out of a more comfortable position, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

Voldemort ruffled his tangled hair, a plan came to his mind.it's time……
