[HP]Love and Hogwarts

"The number of people is still satisfactory," Nick said proudly to Kahn, who had just walked up to him, after receiving all the ghosts who came to the banquet at the door.

"My friend, please continue to enjoy the banquet. It's almost time for me to speak. I have to give the band a heads up." After chatting for a few words, he said.

Kahn watched him walk up to the stage. Before Nick could reach the side of the band, the band spontaneously stopped playing. Just when he thought they saw him and stopped, there was a sudden sound from outside the wall that shook the underground classroom. Hunting horn.

What follows is Nick's harrowing time, as twelve ghost horses suddenly pop out from the walls of the basement classroom, each with a headless rider.

They are the Headless Hunters who have repeatedly rejected Nick. He has always been eager to join them, but has always been refused membership because of the layer of skin that connects the head to the body.

"Nick!" yelled Sir Patrick of the Headless Hunters. "How are you? Is your head still hanging there?"

After saying that, he laughed wildly and patted Nick's shoulder familiarly.

"Welcome, Patrick—"

Kahn only heard Nick's blunt answer at the end, and the silence around her fell silent again. The ghosts, the Headless Hunters, Nick, and all other sounds were blocked within the thick door.

She had already backed out of the underground classroom when she saw the Headless Hunters appearing with their heads in hand - probably Nick would not have the chance to say his death anniversary speech, so she had better go back to the auditorium early and maybe get some food. Leftovers.

The further she walked outside, the warmer the air became. When she finally walked out of the long path lit with blue candles, all of her skin felt like it was soaked in warm spring water, which was so comfortable that it made people sigh.

Back in the auditorium, the Halloween banquet was not over yet. Kahn happened to catch up with the last performance of the Skeleton Dance Troupe. Malfoy was very dissatisfied with her delay in returning and only gave her a wand-shaped sandwich candy, but after Under her superb flattery and bragging, he quickly surrendered and handed all the candies to her with great enthusiasm.

Time passed little by little, and the party in the auditorium ended quickly. Slytherin followed the crowd from other houses and left the auditorium. Kahn walked beside Malfoy, counting the candies with satisfaction and thinking about waiting. Find out what weird candies you can get from the professors.

Just as they passed a corner of the corridor, the crowd suddenly stopped, and the loud chatter and laughter disappeared as if being sucked away by a black hole, replaced by an uneasy silence.

Kahn raised his head in this strange silence, and his eyes met Harry, Ron and Hermione standing alone in front of the crowd. Their eyes revealed panic and uneasiness. On the wall behind them, there were Some smeared writings with a blood-like texture reflected a shimmering light under the light of the slightly swaying torch.

The chamber of secrets has been opened,

Be wary of those who are enemies of the heir.

Mrs. Norris's tail was still wrapped around the torch's holder. It hung upside down, its body stiff, and its eyes staring straight at the dark brick cracks below, as if there were secrets hidden there.

The horrific scene in front of him was not enough to shake Kahn's mood, but no matter who did it, it can be proved that he was cautious enough - he would not even let a kitten go.

When Malfoy saw this scene, he naturally rushed to the ground faster than anyone else. Before his brain could even think about what was going on, he shouted loudly: "Those who are enemies of the heir, be careful! You will be next, Mudbloods." !”

His cold eyes were alive, and his face had never looked better.

Following Malfoy's shout, Filch squeezed through the crowd and came to the front, and immediately saw Mrs. Norris hanging upside down. He stumbled back a few steps in horror, his eyes full of disbelief: "I My cat! My cat! What happened to Mrs. Norris?" He stared at Harry and the others with angry eyes, "You! You killed my cat! You killed her! I I’m going to kill you! I’m going to—”

"Argus!"

Dumbledore arrived on the scene, followed by a long line of teachers. He stopped the furious Filch and took them all, including Mrs. Norris, to the nearest Lockhart office.

The crowd divided into two streams for them. Harry walked through the crowd with his head lowered. From the corner of his eye, he noticed Kahn in the back row. She was still wearing the same clothes. When she saw him looking up, she made a blessing gesture to him. Harry forced a smile, but his mood only relaxed slightly.

As Dumbledore and his party left, the silent crowd gradually began to chatter in low voices. They walked a while further and separated from Hufflepuff House. The conversation became louder, and laughter could be heard from time to time. It didn't take much thinking to know that the laugh belonged to Malfoy.

He walked beside Kahn, and as he walked, he repeatedly gestured to the people next to Harry's lost dog appearance just now, and Filch's rough hands that were trying to strangle his neck.

He talked for a long time, all the way to the Slytherin common room, but except for Pansy, they kept responding to him. Even if he raised the topic to Kahn, she never said a word.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Were you scared just now?" Malfoy looked at her face suspiciously, "But you don't look like a scared person."

Kahn still didn't reply, but Theodore, who was sitting on the single sofa on the other side, spoke at this time: "Is she worried about herself? Haha - after all, who knows if she is a pure blood?" His words were harsh, But the strange thing is that there is not too much ridicule on his face, but instead there are other emotions that he is not aware of.

"What does that have to do with that?" Malfoy frowned, looked at him slowly, and narrowed his gray eyes unhappily.

"Perhaps I will tell you about it when I have time, but now I have to go to bed." Theodore said: "Go and read "Hogwarts: A History of the School". I just finished it. I still miss you." The beloved little servant is not lying in a puddle or mud like Mrs. Lorris, so keep an eye on her."

He had not been in a good mood all day, and now he spoke even more sarcastically, trying his best to make others feel as unhappy as he did.

"I will." Malfoy smiled politely at him, but the smile only hung on his face for less than a second before the master put it away again.

Theodore left without stopping, and Malfoy chased away the other troublemakers nearby like sheep, and then looked at Kahn and asked again.

"..." Kahn focused his attention on Malfoy's face.

"Is it really related to what Theodore said?" He asked doubtfully at this time.

"What? Did Nott say something?" She asked equally confused.

Malfoy was used to her often distracted state, so he asked again very skillfully.

Kahn seemed even more confused this time, "I just thought that if this happened, I wouldn't be able to ask for candy from the professors."

"...?"

"Okay, that's not funny." After glancing at his expression, Kahn consciously changed his words, "I'm not afraid of the heir to the secret room, but if it wants to come to me, it can come to me. There's nothing I can do about it anyway. Stop it."

"...Why did it come to you?" Malfoy looked at her carefully, from her hair to the tips of her boots, "I still think you are the illegitimate child of some pure-blood family who wandered away. I hope I am right."

"My lord Merlin, what you think must not be right. I don't want this at all." Before he finished speaking, Kahn immediately answered.

"Better than being like Mrs. Norris," he said.

"Then let me be petrified." Kahn said, "At least then I can easily wait for you to solve the trouble and then return to normal."

"Be careful of being crushed."

"That's God's guidance." Kahn said smoothly, remembering that he was still dressed like Jesus.

"..." Malfoy was speechless and could only shake his head. He said good night to the victorious Kahn and walked to the dormitory. However, he was still thinking silently about the book Theodore said. Books, and many other more trivial things and thoughts that are temporarily untouchable.

……

Quietness returned to the lounge, and everyone had returned to the dormitory to rest. The pointer had already pointed to 12 o'clock. Kahn yawned lazily. She was tired and sleepy, but she was not ready to rest just yet, because there were still What's bothering her remains unresolved.

She leaned on the sofa and fell asleep for a few minutes. She cheered up again and returned to the dormitory. She changed out of an outfit that was incompatible with Hogwarts, put on her wizard robe, and made sure that her wand was stable. After making sure it wouldn't fall, she returned to the common room again, but this time she didn't stop. She cast an invisibility spell on herself with a flick of her wrist, and quietly opened the door to the Slytherin lounge.

Walking through the castle's intricate secret passages, which were as complex as tree trunks and branches, Kahn soon arrived at the castle gate and walked straight out of Hogwarts. She was invisible and wearing a black cloak, blending in with the night. For the sake of oneness, in this total silence, her footsteps will not be heavier than a foraging mouse.

She didn't stop until she came to a dark lake where the moonlight couldn't shine through. This was her destination.

After rummaging around in her pocket, she took out the diary that was so tattered that the pages seemed to be crumbling. Only she knew how strong these papers that seemed to be broken at the touch of a touch were.

She put some faint fluorescent light on the tip of the wand, and taking advantage of the light, she wrote: "Tom, I just thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered what we said in our first conversation."

"What?" After a while, the diary replied slowly. This is really strange. He usually doesn't reply for so long. It seems that something is keeping him busy, but it may also be that he is fast asleep in his diary.

"I remembered it, but I don't know if I remembered it correctly. I told you: I rarely doubt myself. Then, I also said that I would throw you into a black lake to keep you company with greasy octopuses."

After saying that, she straightened her arms, let go, and the diary quickly fell into the bottomless black lake.

However, in the air so quiet that even spiders could be heard hunting for food, the sound of a heavy object falling into the water was not heard for a long time.
