Hogwarts: Slytherin Kiss

When the holiday was about to be taken away, the disappearing cabinet was almost repaired. Under the very hidden tripod, only the last bit of runes was left to be completed.

But Indra and Draco unanimously decided to keep it in a semi-destroyed state for the time being.

If someone tries to forcefully teleport, they might end up with their heads in different places.

Indra is still here trying to attach the Traceless Expansion Charm to some handbags.

They left the Room of Requirement and came to the rooftop at the end of the tower corridor.

The sun was almost setting, and orange and purple clouds were filling the sky.

"Xiaolong, when are we going to show Dumbledore our cards?"

Indra's back was pressed against Draco's broad, warm chest.

"After Christmas. I need to do some more stuff, and after that, I'm going to confess to Dumbledore."

For Malfoy, to stand with Indra, and to not expose his true intentions, he needed to hurt one more person.

An innocent man.

Draco regretted it now, he shouldn't have let Indra get involved in these things.

But he discovered, both sweetly and poignantly, that there seemed to be no way to have both of Indra's worries and Indra's involvement.

"Okay, let's go together."

"No, Xiao Yin." Draco shook his head slowly.

He gently held Indra's shoulders to turn her around, held her face in his hands, looked at her intently with his gray-blue eyes, and said seriously, "I need to bear this alone."

Indra opened her mouth, wanting to say something else, but she saw the determination in her beloved boy's eyes.

Finally, she whispered uneasily, "Then I'll wait for you."

"Trust me." Draco smiled faintly and pulled Indra into his arms.

Indra smelled his breath deeply and nodded.

"We are determined to get rid of him together, right." Indra confirmed again.

"Yes, together." Draco said firmly, looking into her eyes.

The underlying condition for this agreement is that they have decided to die together.

There was only light left in the sky, and the sun had already dropped below the horizon.

"We should kill everyone and run off into the dusk alone."

Draco hugged Indra from behind, pressed his cheek against her forehead, and whispered softly while standing on the rooftop.

Indra smiled brightly, narrowed her eyes slightly in the dazzling sunset, curled her lips and said, "Sounds good."

The day before school started, the two spent the last sentimental night.

On the morning of the new semester, Indra got up and went downstairs to find many people standing around the serpentine wall. She walked to the outside and found that everyone was looking at a notice.

Tuition fee: Twelve gold galleons

I can finally learn to apparate!

Indra's face showed joy.

She immediately found Draco, rushed into his arms and raised her head and said, "Draco! We can learn to Apparate!"

Draco giggled and hugged her, "We'll definitely get through."

Indra couldn't wait to sign her name on it. She had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Soon, without waiting for the end of the term, she and Draco would both be seventeen and able to use magic outside of school.

Indra couldn't believe how much happiness it was. Moreover, the situation was so dangerous now, and being able to use magic was the most fundamental guarantee.

Every sixth grader is buzzing with excitement about their upcoming Apparition class.

However, Goyle and Crabbe looked very preoccupied and seemed to eat a little less than usual while having breakfast in the Great Hall.

"We are all before August 31st and can take the exam." Senna said.

In addition to Chax, Indra, Senna and Draco have all been apparated by house elves.

"What does it feel like? Apparating?" he asked.

Senna was eating oatmeal, "It's like riding a broomstick and spinning around for dozens of times. It's a bit crowded, but it's not very comfortable and makes me want to vomit."

"Will riding a broomstick well help in learning Apparition?" Chucks continued to ask, seemingly very interested in this subject.

Indra ate the fish cake, "I don't think so, because I am also very accustomed to following the appearance."

Draco said lazily, "Maybe it just depends on talent."

In the new Potions class, Slughorn finally talked about Gorbalot's third law.

Indra raised his question at the right time.

"Professor, I disagree. The antidote to a mixed poison may be less than or equal to the sum of each individual component."

Almost everyone in the class had a blank expression, with their mouths slightly open as if they had just woken up from a dream and were still drooling.

Slughorn's explanation of Gorbalot's third law just now was enough for their minds to think about.

Hermione gritted her teeth and squinted her eyes to look this way, while Draco looked at Indra with tenderness and admiration.

"Oh?" Slughorn had an excited and extremely interested expression on his face.

"So, you've found it, or are you just theorizing? Indra?"

Indra: "I have only found one or two types for now, but I haven't analyzed the rules yet."

"Very good, very good. Come to my office to discuss this topic in detail when you have time."

Slughorn said with great satisfaction, looking at Indra as if he were looking at a peerless treasure, and had no intention of explaining anything to others.

"So - our task in this lesson is, assuming that Gorbalot's third law is true, after correctly analyzing the ingredients of the potion based on the Scarpin Appearance Curse, we must first find the additional ingredients..."

Slughorn continued, "Now, everyone go to the podium and grab a small bottle and mix up the antidote to the poison in the bottle before get out of class ends. Don't forget to wear protective gloves!"

Indra poured the poison into the cauldron, ignited the flames, and then used the Scapin Revealing Charm to analyze the ingredients in the poison.

Senna and Theodore looked at their cauldrons in embarrassment, slowly and tentatively trying to do whatever they wanted.

Indra and Draco's speed was methodical, concise and fast, and they separated the poison ingredients accurately.

"What kind of poison is yours? Mine is Yin Li Zhan."

Draco looked at his crucible and said, the deep purple poison inside had turned into colorful colors and was being analyzed.

Theodore: "Yin Li Zhan? What is it?"

Draco: "You can try a little drink and I will prepare an antidote for you."

Indra: "Mine is the decoction of living hell. If you drink it, it will become as hard as a stone."

Senna: "Mine is a love potion! Whose love potion is this? It can't be..."

Blaise: "Can you guys be quiet?"

He can no longer concentrate on making potions!
