HP: The Shadow Returns

Due to the continuous petrification incidents, the Quidditch match was canceled. Although Cedric was a little depressed, he also knew that safety must come first.

He kept taking time to come to Sansaro and ask her to pay attention to her safety.

That day, Sansaro, Theodore, and Draco had just come out of the Room of Requirement when they saw Lucius coming to Hogwarts in the corridor.

"Is that Uncle Lucius?" She raised her hand and waved away the lingering potion smell on her body, looking at the elegant man talking to another school director in the distance and asked.

"I think it's about petrification. They are going to catch the big man, oh, and Dumbledore." Draco straightened his collar with great pride and smiled.

Sansaro knew this because Theodore told her the legend about the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets and the verdict from decades ago.

"They ruled it a murder and the suspect was the warden, but Dumbledore interceded for him, but he was fired anyway and became the gamekeeper at Hogwarts."

"A murderer can be forgiven and continue to stay in Hogwarts. Dumbledore is really a great white wizard..."

Sansaro blinked after finishing his recollection. Lucius, who was discussing with the director over there, turned his eyes slightly and naturally noticed the three of them.

He approached slowly, and the other person's exquisite snake-shaped cane was still so shining. He looked down at several people, but his eyes were full of smiles.

"Uncle Lucius, good afternoon, I didn't expect to see you here." The girl bent slightly and made an elegant standard salute.

"Uncle Lucius, good afternoon." Theodore also lowered his head slightly.

"dad"

Lucius's black cashmere robe was slightly blown by the wind. "Good afternoon, I heard that Sansaro is at the top of the newly opened duel club this time. It's really excellent."

"It's because Draco and Theodore have been training with me, otherwise I wouldn't have achieved such results."

Lucius was very satisfied with this statement. The apples of his pale cheeks bulged slightly.

"Your own abilities cannot be ignored. Draco shouldn't have caused any trouble in school recently, right?"

"No." Sansaro noticed Draco's eyes on her, she bent her eyes and said gently, "The three of us have been studying potions at Dean Snape's place recently."

"Yes, Dad." Draco looked up at Lucius, with an extremely proud smile on his face. He spoke quickly, froze for a moment, and added quickly.

"I can even make vomit...forgetting potion now"

Lucius raised his eyebrows and looked at Sansaro's calm smile. Something flashed across his eyes.

"That's great. Your mother will be very happy to know about it."

"Of course"

...

After a brief chat, Lucius Malfoy left here.

The next morning, the Daily Prophet published several articles about the relationship between the petrochemical incident and Dumbledore, but they were all negative news.

"They actually made fun of Dumbledore! He was the greatest white wizard!" Hermione sat in the library and kept talking to Sansaro about how ridiculous the content in this morning's Daily Prophet was.

"I suspect it's a basilisk. Do you know? Sansaro, I saw it in a book. You may have read that book too." Hermione said seriously, leaning on the table and leaning forward slowly. Sansaro said as he sat down.

"Actually, there are many records about the basilisk, but many people read it as a story. I think you must know the story inside."

"So you came to me to investigate this basilisk?" Sansaro raised his eyebrows expressionlessly.

“Not entirely”

Hermione hesitated for a moment and sighed.

"Don't you feel it? Since this semester came, you Slytherins seem to be more sharp and difficult to get close to. Many of them are surrounding you..."

"I sometimes want to talk to you but I don't have a chance, but they hate... Muggles." Hermione tried to look relaxed. To be honest, she didn't really care what those Slytherins thought of her.

And she did have a lot of things she didn't understand and wanted to ask Sansaro for help.

But there seems to be no time for that today.

"Harry has been talking to a diary lately. Did you know that his name is Tom Riddle, but the diary there was lost not long ago?"

Hermione seemed to be in a very confused mood, talking about one thing at a time and the other at another time.

"Well, I am indeed too busy to think about this too much." Sansaro did not dwell on it. After all, she knew many things in her mind. She raised her hand to adjust her glasses frame. "Then let's find out about the basilisk now." Information about it”

"it is good"

After saying that, the two of them divided into two groups to search on different bookshelves. Sansaro made a show of taking a copy of "The Extension of the Curse" from the shelf and looked at it casually.

Not long after, she heard Hermione's excited voice coming from the distant bookshelf, "Sansaro, I found it!"

At the same time, a very familiar crawling sound of snakes passed from overhead in the direction of Hermione.

"Hiss... kill..."

Sansaro squinted her eyes and was about to put down the book and go over, when a force suddenly pulled her arm from behind.

She turned around and saw, was it Ginny? No, looking at the cold curve of the other party's mouth, Sansaro stopped moving. After confirming that there was no one around, she raised her hand and gently opened her hand.

"Tom Marvolo Riddle, you don't just want to cause some chaos, do you?"

Riddle was not annoyed at all. She stroked the air with her free hand, tilted her head and said slowly, "Of course not."

At the same time, Sansaro heard a faint sound of falling to the ground from behind. She looked calm, indicating that Hermione must have been petrified.

"Who the hell are you? I've never met you."

"Who am I?" Riddle came closer and chuckled. He scanned Sansaro's face from top to bottom and said with a slight displeasure, "You shouldn't be wearing this eyesore."

"It has nothing to do with you"

"I will never hurt you, Sansaro, right? That's a really unpleasant name." He then raised his hand to touch Sansaro's face, but she turned away and avoided it.

The two looked at each other.

Riddle tightened his lips and a complicated look flashed in his eyes, "We will meet soon, Virta." After that, he turned and left here.

Huerta? Sansaro looked at his back disappearing behind the bookshelf in confusion. Was he calling him?

What does it mean to meet soon——

Screams rang out from behind, and Sansaro turned around and began to deal with the matter in front of him.

.....

"Hermione needed some information, so she came to me, and we went to the library to look for the book about it separately."

"Maybe I walked too far, heard someone's scream and rushed over to find out..." Sansaro pursed his lips and lowered his head. No one noticed the traceless lie.

"It's Hermione"

In the infirmary, a group of people gathered around the petrified Hermione. Snape remained silent after listening to Sansaro's words.

Then McGonagall and a group of professors hurried over, and Lockhart, who was wearing colorful robes, let out an inappropriate exclamation.

"Oh my God! It's my cute little fan!" He came over looking very sad, and like a character in a drama, he danced his limbs in an exaggerated way and swore.

"How I want to avenge her, the mastermind! I'm going to duel him! Trust me! Like a true Merlin Badge holder!"
