Hogwarts: Slytherin Kiss

Since leaving Black Mansion, Harry, Hermione and Ron have been wandering in the countryside for several months.

They went to the Ministry of Magic to steal the Slytherin Locket without thinking that they would never get back, so Hermione had almost no food in her beaded bag.

It went from days to weeks to months.

Continuous wandering and escape, no food, no fixed place to live, and taking turns wearing the locket containing the fragment of Voldemort's soul.

The three of them quickly became depressed and gloomy, and quarrels were most likely to break out when they were hungry.

"My mother can conjure delicious dishes out of thin air." Ron poked at the pieces of charred fish on the plate sadly, finding it difficult to eat.

"She can't, and no one can conjure food out of thin air," Hermione said. "If you read the book, you will know that food is an exception to Gamp's basic law of transformation -"

Ron spat out a fish bone and said, "Speak in plain language, okay?"

"No one can conjure food out of thin air, do you understand? You can only summon it from somewhere, or transform it and multiply it-"

Ron: "Oh - don't use this. It tastes really bad."

Harry took a deep breath with a headache and planned to plug his ears because he couldn't blame anyone.

Ron still wore that damn Horcrux necklace around his neck. Although he caught the fish himself, Hermione was always the one cooking it.

A violent explosion covered up the quarrel between Hermione and Ron, and the two stopped talking.

Hermione looked horrified and said: "Protective spell! Someone is destroying our protective spell-"

Several people jumped up from their chairs, and the grilled pike dropped to the ground along with the plates.

Harry took out the wand from his bag, "Hurry up, pack your things and we will Apparate!"

A familiar voice sounded slowly, not loud but hard to ignore.

"As wizards, you really shouldn't live like this."

Indra removed the illusion spell and walked out from behind the tree.

She was wearing a black travel jacket with green stripes on the shoulders, and she was still carrying the one-shoulder fire dragon leather satchel.

The long black hair is soft and clean, and the skin is fair and delicate. However, his cheeks are a little thinner, his expression is cold, and he looks more superior in appearance.

The three people looked at the sudden appearance of Indra in shock, and their tense nerves relaxed slightly. They thought it was a Death Eater.

"Indra!" Hermione's eyes turned red and she rushed over and hugged her.

Indra coughed awkwardly twice, the cold expression on her face disappeared, and she raised her hand to pat Hermione on the shoulder.

She looked at Harry, waved her wand to repair all the protective spells, and asked, "How did your mission go?"

The three of them fell into an eerie silence, a little dejected.

Hermione shook her head: "It didn't go well. We have been wandering since we escaped from the Ministry of Magic on September 1st, and there are no new clues."

Indra followed them back to the edge of the tent and sat down.

Hermione: "By the way, the Black Mansion has been exposed——"

Indra: "I know. I looked around and found that there were many people watching over there, so I didn't go in."

Hermione: "That's good."

Harry couldn't wait to ask: "You have come back from that place? How are you? Have you cracked any clues?"

The failure and difficulty in finding the Horcrux made him start to think that maybe Dumbledore had given Indra the same task.

Indra: "There are some, not sure yet, but I can't tell you."

She quietly glanced into the tent, but didn't see anything that looked like a sword. Professor Snape's patronus might not have found them yet.

Draco said that Dumbledore refused to tell them why the Sword of Gryffindor had to be given to Harry.

Harry said with some excitement, "Maybe we thought wrong before, and we have to connect each other's clues to find the answer..."

Indra: "Then tell me what you are looking for first."

She looked at the shiny and delicate golden locket around Ron's neck, which contained a snake-shaped S inlaid with emeralds.

"Is that the real thing you found? Slytherin's locket?"

Ron looked down and said, "Yes, it was taken from the pink toad's neck."

When Indra asked what they were doing, Harry hesitated.

Hermione tentatively whispered, "Harry, I think maybe we can tell her that Dumbledore also believes in Indra."

Dumbledore still believes Snape, Harry couldn't help but think.

It was not difficult for Indra to guess what was going on in Harry's mind, and turned away with a cold snort.

"My brain is much safer than yours."

Harry struggled with his thoughts and finally decided to tell the truth.

"We're looking for Horcruxes. Fu——"

"Don't say it!"

Indra quickly applied a chokehold on Harry, almost breaking into a cold sweat.

"They put a curse on that name, and anyone who spoke it would be targeted."

Harry didn't have time to pull out his wand to fight back, but after listening to Indra's explanation, he put down his hand and couldn't help but feel lucky that they had been calling Voldemort "You-Know-Who" recently and had formed a habit.

Hermione: "No wonder when we escaped from the Burrow, even though Harry was already an adult, the Death Eaters still found us. It turns out it was not a matter of magic traces."

Ron's stomach growled twice and he said feebly, "How do you know?"

Indra cast a counter-spell on Harry: "I met some search teams and learned about it from them."

"Is this what you're going to eat?" Indra tapped the ground with her toes, and next to her lay a few pieces of grilled fish whose original variety could not be discerned.

Hermione said helplessly: "We came out in a hurry and didn't prepare anything."

Ron said hopefully, "Do you have anything to eat?"

Indra originally wanted a few people to rest in her fire dragon leather bag for a while, but suddenly she thought that there were some traces of Draco's life in the living room.

The tableware and teacups used were duplicates. She was worried that Hermione would notice the clues, so she gave up the idea.

Indra reached into the bag to call for food, and took out pieces of delicacies and placed them on the small table, as well as fresh and delicious fruits and boxed juices.

Ron looked at her as if he had seen his savior, and burst into tears. He opened a box of rice that seemed to be packaged from a Muggle restaurant and ate it.

Hermione looked at Indra's fire dragon leather bag and asked in surprise: "How many things did you buy and put in it?"

Indra: "There are many. Why don't you go to the Muggle store to buy some and put them in your bag? Have you learned the Disguise Charm? If not, don't you still have the Invisibility Cloak?"

She really couldn't believe that the three of them could not even eat. There were tents, tables and chairs here, and Hermione must have cast a Seamless Stretching Charm on her bag.

Harry made a vague sound: "I learned."

Ron pretended not to hear.
