"Thea." In the lounge, the students were busy discussing what they had just seen and heard. No one paid attention to the Malfoy siblings at the door. It was at this time that Draco called out to his sister.

Alicia didn't look surprised, she seemed to have been mentally prepared for it a long time ago.

This conversation was bound to happen sooner or later, but it was a little later than she expected. Draco was really patient.

"Let's go to the astronomy tower," the girl said, looking at her brother's slightly furrowed brows.

Hearing her say this, Draco's expression became more solemn. He clenched his hands under his cloak and lowered his voice, "The castle is not safe now, or are you..."

"Brother." The girl took a few steps forward and gently wrapped her hand around Draco's fist. "The lounge is not safe right now."

Draco's words were stuck in his throat. He let Alicia pull him out of the lounge. When he stepped onto the stairs, he couldn't help but speak: "Then why don't we go to the Room of Requirement?"

Alicia shrugged and explained nonchalantly, "If you're not afraid of bumping into other people."

Draco thought for a few seconds and thought of some things between couples in Hogwarts. His facial features were almost wrinkled. He couldn't help but raise his voice: "Damn it, what does Nott usually say to you!"

The girl didn't care what her brother meant by Nott, and quickly turned around to cover his mouth. After making sure that the professor on night patrol was not nearby, she said fiercely, "Are you going to wake up all the professors? And what does this have to do with Theodore?"

Seeing that Draco's face was flushed and he couldn't speak, he could only use his eyes to signal that he would not shout loudly anymore. Only then did she let go of her hand.

It was only after a while that Alicia realized what Draco was thinking. She rolled her eyes so that only the whites of her eyes could be seen, and gave her brother an elbow. After hearing a muffled groan from the latter, she turned around and continued to go upstairs.

Who knows if Riddle is in the Room of Requirement or the Basilisk? Who knows if he will return to the Slytherin common room later to listen to the little snakes' discussion of his masterpiece? She knows that Riddle is very obsessed with the Room of Requirement and goes there almost every few days.

The snowy night at Hogwarts was still so amazing. Draco waved his wand and cast a warming spell on himself and his sister.

"The Astronomy Tower is a great place." Alicia stood near the edge of the tower and caught a snowflake with her hand. "I feel like I haven't been so relaxed in a long time."

Draco leaned on the railing, carefully watching his sister's profile, not wanting to miss any changes in her facial expressions. "Yes, after all, you are busy enough. You have classes during the day, and there are some secret missions at night that I don't know about."

The girl raised an eyebrow, turned her head and said in surprise: "You are so hostile right from the start? I suspect you are still upset about that elbow."

After all, Draco really hit the nail on the head without any preparation.

"Changing the subject? It seems that what you are hiding from me this time is extremely serious. Don't deny it, you do this every time before you do something wrong." The boy obviously didn't buy her trick, and his serious expression didn't change at all.

Alicia raised her hands in surrender, but still didn't mean to explain seriously: "Okay, okay, but Draco, your expression really looks like Daddy."

"Alicia Malfoy!"

More like it.

But she didn't dare say this out loud.

Wait, why does this kind of rant sound so much like Tony? Sure enough, it’s because I’ve known him for so long that my style has been influenced by him.

The night breeze blew on her face. The girl put those associations behind her and stared at her brother who was of the same blood as her. After about half a minute, she sighed and turned her head to look into the distance.

"Dad told you a lot, right? I thought you would ask me soon and endure for two or three months at most, but you didn't." Alicia's gray-blue eyes reflected a large area of ​​snow. "Come to think of it, you are always so concerned about my safety. How could you forget Dad's advice just because you lose your temper?"

For fear of alerting the enemy, Lucius asked his son when he revealed the matter to him not to rush up and ask questions non-stop just because he was worried about his sister.

At this time, Draco also faced the railing. He tugged at the collar of his cloak irritably, trying to hide his nervousness: "Nonsense, you are my sister, my biological sister."

Even though he had been worried about what Thea was going through, he didn't know how to face this moment.

Is that an answer he can accept?

As if sensing his uneasiness, Alicia took the initiative to lean on her brother's shoulder and said softly: "When the Dark Lord was parasitic on Quirrell, I dealt with him several times. He asked me to bring a few words to Dad. Draco, you know, Dad and Mom..."

"It's a Death Eater." Draco also put his arm around his sister's shoulders and took over the latter's words.

"Yes, that's right." Alicia was silent for a while, and continued, "Later, he also gave me several tasks. What happened today was one of them, but don't worry, I was not directly involved. What's more... the professors arrived in time, didn't they? We are safe."

At Hogwarts, Dumbledore was still very reliable, and he gave strong assurances that there was no need to worry about her safety.

Although she had cast a soundproofing spell, her experience with the Dark Lord taught her that she must remain vigilant at all times - who knew if Dumbledore or Riddle would suddenly appear in a corner, and it would be a piece of cake for them to remove the spell silently.

Draco tightened his arms to show that he understood what she meant.

The conversation between the two continued, but it was proven that the experiences imparted by the Dark Lord could stand the test of facts.

At the bottom of the stairs, Riddle looked at the brother and sister with interest, his face lit by shadows and moonlight.

He would never give his trust, especially to the Malfoy family, but Alicia's performance tonight made him very satisfied.

Look, this is the person he personally chose. So what if it's Malfoy who has always been cautious and self-protective? In the end, he still has to be loyal to him. Riddle's eyes flashed red, and a morbid sense of satisfaction rose in his heart.

Abraxas, can you see that?
