Hogwarts Lion Girl

Salina followed Lucien through a dark corridor. The walls on both sides of the corridor were covered with ancient portraits. The people in the portraits were wearing gorgeous clothes and had arrogant expressions. They seemed to be whispering, and seemed to be silently observing the two intruders.

Salina secretly looked at Lucien who was walking in front of her. Under the dim light, his profile looked even more angular, and his short black hair shone with a faint luster in the shadows.

He walked steadily, every step seemed to be carefully calculated, with an innate elegance and confidence.

"We're here." Lucien's voice interrupted Salina's thoughts.

Salina looked up and found that they had arrived in front of a huge stone door.

Two lifelike snakes are carved on the stone gate. The snakes' eyes are inlaid with emeralds, flickering faintly in the dim light.

This is the Slytherin common room.

Lucien handed his robe to Salina without saying a word. The black robe was a little cool, and still had a trace of his scent, like the damp soil in the forest after the rain, or like a burning fireplace in winter, mixed into an indescribable, reassuring smell.

Salina's cheeks flushed slightly. She lowered her head, carefully took the robe, and wrapped herself in it.

Lucien's robe was too big for her, making her look even smaller, and she tried to roll up her sleeves clumsily, but only made them more tangled.

Lucien looked at her in a flustered state, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips. He walked forward, and gently brushed her wrist with his slender fingers, straightening the wrinkled cuffs.

"Don't move." His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of command in it, but it was surprisingly not offensive.

Salina was stunned for a moment, her heartbeat accelerating uncontrollably. She raised her head and met Lucien's deep eyes, which were like the sea before a storm, bottomless, yet full of fatal attraction.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and Salina could even feel Lucien's warm breath gently spraying on her cheek. She seemed to be bewitched, not daring to move, letting him do whatever he wanted.

Lucien put the hood on Salina's head and adjusted the angle so that her delicate facial features were hidden in the shadows, leaving only a section of her fair and slender neck exposed, which looked particularly attractive under the dim light.

"This way we won't be discovered." Lucian took a step back and admired his "work" with satisfaction, with a barely perceptible hint of pride in his tone.

Only then did Salina come back to her senses. She pulled her robe uncomfortably, trying to hide her panic.

"Let's go." Lucien turned and walked towards the stone gate, his back tall and elegant.

Salina took a deep breath, suppressed the strange emotions in her heart, and quickly followed.

Lucien gave the command to open the door. The stone door silently opened to both sides, revealing a narrow passage behind. Torches were lit on the walls on both sides of the passage, and the dim light stretched their shadows very long.

"Follow me." Lucien whispered and walked into the passage first.

Serena followed him closely. The corridor was filled with a damp and moldy smell. Serena couldn't help shivering. The Slytherin lounge was indeed not the atmosphere she liked. If there was no magic, the bedding would probably become moldy due to the dampness in no time.

While Salina's thoughts were flying, Lucien in front of her suddenly stopped.

"Here we are." He turned around, his eyes flashing strangely in the firelight.

Salina looked up and saw a huge glass in front of her, through which she could see the dark lake.

In the dim light, she could only see several huge tentacles dancing slowly in the water, as if they were unconsciously turning over in their sleep, stirring the lake water, as if waving to them, or as if warning them not to get close.

"Is that the giant octopus under the Black Lake?" Salina asked in a low voice, with a hint of curiosity and a hint of fear in her tone.

"That's right." Lucien's voice was particularly clear in the silent passage. "There are many magical creatures living in the Black Lake, and that octopus is just one of them. It is said that it has lived here for hundreds of years. No one knows how long it has lived, and no one knows how big it is."

Just then, a sarcastic voice suddenly sounded behind them: "Lucian, what are you doing there?"

Salina and Lucien turned around at the same time and saw a girl standing behind them. She had short black hair and a pair of narrow eyes. Her face was delicately made up, but her eyes were full of malice and hostility.

Alarm bells suddenly rang in Salina's heart, and she subconsciously took a step back and hid behind Lucien.

Lucien's face also darkened. He looked at the girl coldly, with a hint of warning in his tone: "Pansy, this has nothing to do with you."

"What? Are you having a tryst with someone?" The girl called Pansy did not back down because of Lucien's warning. Instead, she became even more arrogant. She looked Salina up and down, her tone full of disdain, "Who is this? I don't think I've seen her before."

Salina bit her lip and said nothing.

"Pansy, stop meddling in other people's business." Lucien's voice became even colder. He took a step forward and blocked Salina behind him.

"Oh?" Pansy sneered, "Such a treasure, then I want to know who it is even more." As she spoke, her eyes swept back and forth between Salina and Lucien, her tone full of ambiguous hints.

Lucien lowered his head and whispered to Salina, "It seems that this is all we can do today. I will take you out."

As he spoke, Lucien took Salina's hand. Salina could feel his palm was dry and warm. Then she felt a force turning her around. Lucien pulled her and strode towards the exit of the passage.

When the two walked to the door, they heard a familiar voice coming from behind.

"Pansy, what are you doing?"

"Draco..." Pansy looked at the backs of Lucien and Serena and said, "Nothing, Lucien brought a friend with him, and I was curious to see who it was."

Draco also saw the back of the person covered by the robe, and felt that he was familiar with the person, so he asked, "Who is that?"

Pansy shook her head. "I didn't see it. Lucian was guarding against me like a thief."

After leaving the Slytherin common room, Salina returned the robe to Lucien and the two said goodbye.

After leaving the Slytherin common room, Salina returned the robe to Lucien and whispered, "Thank you, Lucien, I'm sorry for causing you trouble today." Lucien smiled, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's getting late, you should go back and rest." Then the two said goodbye.

Salina and Lucien walked out of the dark basement one after another, and the damp and cold air still lingered around them.

When they reached the corridor on the first floor of the castle, Salina returned the robe to Lucien. In the dim candlelight, she whispered, "Thank you, Lucien. I'm sorry for causing you trouble today."

Lucien shook his head and said, "It's okay. It's getting late. You should go back and rest."

The sky outside the window was already dark, and a few rays of light shone in through the window, making the figures of the two people look particularly slender.

Sharina nodded and turned to walk towards the Gryffindor common room. Lucien watched her leave until her figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, then he turned and left.

At this time, a figure walked out from the shadows at the corner, looked in the direction where Salina left, then looked at Lucien's back, and scratched his chin thoughtfully.

"Could this guy Lucien really be in love?"
