HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

Draco's betrayal by Crabbe and Goyle suddenly reminded him of the time when they were locked in a broom closet in their second year.

They also disappeared suddenly at that time. If I hadn't realized something was wrong and went to look for them, who knows how long they would have been lying unconscious in the broom room in such a cold Christmas.

Draco thought of Montague who was absent from Quidditch training. He was not the kind of person who would not come to Quidditch training without asking for leave.

Montague took Quidditch very seriously - he was very angry when Marcus Flint nominated him for Quidditch Captain.

He always thought it was him, and he also thought it was him.

But Marcus Flint had different ideas and nominated himself for Slytherin Quidditch Captain.

In order to make Mrs. Monta understand his painstaking efforts, Marcus Flint talked to Mrs. Monta alone for a long time.

Draco had a bad feeling in his heart.

He grabbed Lycoris's hand and said anxiously, "Mr. Monty is not the kind of person who would skip Quidditch training without asking for leave from me. He wants to get the Quidditch Cup just like me. Do you think he's in trouble?"

Draco thought about it, and even thought of the petrification incident in the second year, "Do you think that Mr. Montague was petrified in a corner? There is no one to ask for help, so he can't participate in the training?"

Draco's reminder made Lycoris think of something.

Montague might have been stuffed into the Vanishing Cabinet by the Weasley twins - Licorice remembered that in the original plot he was found in the toilet in the bathroom.

And the original plot was that Draco went to report to Dolores Umbridge and asked Professor Snape to help save people.

This led to the discovery of Snape's emergency training in Occlumency for Harry Potter, and Professor Snape explained to Draco that he was tutoring Potter in Potions.

Lycoris comforted Draco and a bad idea came to her mind.

How can I go to see Mrs. Monta in private?

Of course, the bigger the incident of Mrs. Meng’s disappearance is, the better.

There is no Dumbledore to back us up now.

Ignoring the lives of my classmates, I stuffed them into a disappearing cabinet that led to an unknown place...

Lycoris patted the back of Draco's hand and said, "Don't worry, go report this to the dean and the principal, and I will organize the entire school to help find it."

Although Licorice's appeal could not make the whole school submit to her, at least most of the students were willing to help her.

Partly because she is a very nice person, and partly because… who hasn’t taken a class at the Good Hunger Club to teach themselves?

Now that Licorice had openly asked for help, it wasn't a big deal to just find someone. It was a no-brainer, so everyone was willing to give her a favor.

Qiu Zhang and Cedric Diggory were the first to respond to Licorice's call. The young couple have always been kind-hearted.

Licorice looked at a large group of students looking for people everywhere, and pretended to join them.

She didn't plan to take people directly to the toilet in the bathroom on the fifth floor to rescue people.

Lycoris herself is a Slytherin, doesn't she know what kind of personalities Slytherin students have?

Such a shameful thing, even if you are kind enough to save someone, you can only gain temporary emotion from the person involved.

In the future, whenever I think about others witnessing such an embarrassing moment of mine, my emotion will sour.

This thought will turn into a fishbone, stuck in your throat, unable to be spit out or swallowed.

Lycoris already had a scapegoat, so she asked Draco to notify them.

cellar.

Severus Snape was chopping up some asphodel roots, preparing to grind them into powder - he was brewing a potion.

There was already a small pile of other prepared potions nearby, all of which were needed by the Order of the Phoenix.

Snape heard the knock on the door outside, very anxiously.

He paused and put the narcissus root back into the saucer.

He was very familiar with this way of knocking on the door; it was Malfoy's style.

Snape was unhappy about being interrupted while brewing the potion. He opened the door with a sullen face, and as expected, he saw Draco Malfoy outside.

"Dean! Mrs. Montgomery is missing!" Draco knocked on the dean's door anxiously. As soon as he opened the door, before he started asking questions, he blurted out what he wanted to say. "He didn't attend our Quidditch practice today, and he didn't ask his roommate to ask for leave from me. Dean, Mrs. Montgomery is not the kind of person who would skip practice. Did something happen to him?"

When Snape heard this, his instinctive reaction was: What did Harry do again?

"Got it." Snape turned around to look for someone, but was stopped by Draco.

"Dean, please go and find her first. Riko told me to tell you that I will report to Headmistress Dolores Umbridge later." Seeing that the dean was about to leave, Draco quickly explained why he couldn't go with him.

Snape never considered speaking to Dolores Umbridge; in his opinion, she was not the Headmistress.

"Then you go first." Snape allowed Draco to go find someone, then frowned as he watched him leave.

What role did the daughter play in this matter?

The Defense Against the Dark Arts office, oh no, it should be the principal's office now.

Dolores Umbridge was in a good mood, drinking tea from the cup with her fingers curled up. It was the best thing that could happen to her that she became the headmaster of Hogwarts.

"Boom boom boom——"

The untimely knock on the door woke Umbridge, who was sipping tea and watching the kittens playing on the wall. She frowned subconsciously.

Then he returned to his usual self and said in a sweet voice, "Come in."

Draco Malfoy, a famous figure in Slytherin.

"What do you want?" Umbridge walked a few steps, sat behind the desk and looked up at him.

Draco repeated what he had said to Professor Snape in one breath, and added at the end, "I have already informed the dean, and I am reporting to you now."

"You mean, a Slytherin student is missing?" Umbridge couldn't help laughing. "Oh! That must be a conspiracy by Gryffindor House against our Slytherin House."

Gryffindor or not, it has to be Gryffindor.

Otherwise, how can we make them pay the price?

Dumbledore actually dared to openly raise an army in a place like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Don't think that I can't fulfill my duties as principal just because I am not allowed to enter the principal's office.

"What are you waiting for? Take me to see it!" Umbridge immediately stood up and took Malfoy to find someone.

Lycoris saw her father, and Snape also saw many students looking for someone.

"Dad, something happened to Mrs. Meng. I'm calling on everyone to look for her together. More people will help us find her faster. This will prevent Mrs. Meng from encountering any bad things and getting wronged." Licorice explained everything to her father directly, revealing everything.

Yes, I found the person.
