[HP] Walk in Thorns and Flowers

Just standing at the door, Christo had already sensed the aura of black magic. This feeling reminded her of a certain row of bookshelves in the first area of ​​the Hogwarts library.

Sure enough, when she walked in, she saw one after another old books spread out on the large table.

"Be careful, they are all demons," Lockhart muttered.

Trish stood in the corner, patted the sofa urgently, "Come here, Kelly, you will have a chance to watch."

Kelly tore her gaze away from the books, she bet she had never seen any of the names on them, and even a language she couldn't understand.

She walked over, and there was a goblet on the small round table, filled with [-]% of the bright red liquid, and three dark black roses stuck in it.She sniffed, the smell of blood hidden under the gloomy scent of flowers.

Tracy briefly told a story, probably that she had a sad old friend who did the same stupid thing as the mysterious man, and the result was self-evident.She graciously received his legacy, which included the books.

It was a type of black magic known as a Horcrux.

"And what we need you to do now is to understand it." Tracy pointed to the rows of books, "Time is running out, I don't think we can give you too much time." She and Gilderoy discussed this decision for a long time , although she has a thorough understanding of Horcruxes, she cannot be trusted by Voldemort like Keli.The Horcrux was too profound, and she couldn't describe it in words.But, she worries, will that day come again.

When Keli was only eight years old in her life, she had exported her memories and swallowed the fake death potion. Although it was forced by the situation, it always felt shocking.

"Aren't you staring at her now? Besides, don't forget, she grew up in McMillan's house. Although she loves black magic, Mr. McMillan taught her very well." Lockhart agreed, Wanting to kill Voldemort, Kerry would know about the Horcrux sooner or later.

This is also the reason why Tracy finally agreed.

Christo took out the black rose from the wine glass and dipped the blood on the cover, and the dark gold signature on the book gradually melted away.She curled her lips, Tracy's family is too cunning, no one can read these books without the blood of the White family.

Even though Chris had prepared earlier, she was taken aback by the profound and mysterious content.It took her a week just to read a table of books, and another week to organize notes and comprehend them.

"So now, what do you think?"

"Crazy, they are all crazy!" This was Christo's first feeling.

"Very well, I think so too." Tracy was very satisfied with Keli's answer.

"If I—"

Trish stared at her, "You?!"

Christo looked at her puzzled, "I think if you want to be immortal, you should first consider the Philosopher's Stone. Although it is complicated to refine, it is once and for all. No matter how bad it is, I would rather you bite me and turn me into a vampire. Production Horcruxes are troublesome and dangerous, and you have to compromise your own strength, the mysterious man is really stupid."

Tracy said with joy, Lockhart's mouth twitched, "He is not stupid, although vampires can use wands, but their own power is repelled by some spells." He squinted at Tracy, "I promise, Keri, your Transfiguration is ten times better than Tracy's."

Tracy coughed in embarrassment, "Okay, let's talk about the next step—" She looked at Keli, who looked at her with incredible eyes, and she stretched out her hand to give a chestnut , "You once mentioned that the appearance of the mysterious man is very different from his student days, but my old friend has maintained a young and beautiful appearance from beginning to end, so there is only one possibility—"

"His understanding of Horcruxes is incomplete, and even has mistakes." Christo felt that Voldemort was even more stupid now.

"Yes, in the past two weeks, I have visited many acquainted wizard families, and no one knows about Horcruxes, and I have never even heard of their names. I think these old antiques may only have been passed down for more than a dozen years. It was only owned by the White family of the century, and if the You-Know-Who can learn about it from other places, I think there is no other place except Hogwarts."

"So—are we going to sneak into Hogwarts?" Kristo stood up excitedly.

"That's right, my Kerry, but—" Lockhart gave her a sympathetic look, "I'm afraid your wish won't come true, and I think we'll have to wait until Hogsmoor to avoid the students in the library. De weekend." Seeing Christo's dim eyes, he quickly comforted him, "At least we now know how to do it, and it will be a matter of time before we see Ernie."

Christo sighed, "That's the only way."

After three days of Hogsmeade weekend, Christophe was able to have a small three-day vacation.It was a terrible three days, because her mind was full of random thoughts when she was idle.She was worried about Mom and Dad and Ernie, and on top of that, she was thinking about Draco, and the realization terrified her.

It was just gratitude, but she kept thinking about the old days.

On a Hogsmeade weekend, there were hardly any senior students in the school.Christo guessed that it was all thanks to that woman Umbridge, and no one would miss the rare day of escape.Lockhart angrily commented on her as the most disgusting woman in the world. Damn it, she is still named Dorothy, which simply tarnishes this beautiful name.

They entered the school through a secret passage, and the exit was in the corridor outside the hall. Christophe was fortunate enough to see the seven new regulations of No.40, and couldn't help but mourn for the students in the school.

Wearing invisibility cloaks, they carefully avoid anyone who might show up. "By the way, I still have this." Christo took out a potion bottle from her wallet.

"Huh—isn't this the cat repellent potion you gave Harry?" Tracy looked at her meaningfully.

"Forget it, ever since he expressed his dislike for Professor Snape, this bottle has never been given away."

"Cheers to a lost friendship." Trish laughed.

Christo gave her an annoyed look.

They went along very smoothly, and the younger students had no classes, and Mrs. Norris avoided them.Soon, they touched the secret passage where Kelly had entered the first area, but found that the portrait there had been replaced.They had to go to the library.

Mrs. Pince sat in her armchair, as thin as a vulture. The three of them dared not underestimate her. They gave themselves a dozen Ignoring and Disillusionment spells, and drank Kerry's latest invisibility potion. , just walked in stealthily wearing the invisibility cloak.

"It seems that we are lucky." Lockhart suddenly sighed.

"No, it should be said that our Keli is really lucky." Tracy's tone was a bit teasing.

Christo followed her gaze and looked over.

It was still early for the end of the term, and it was Hogsmeade weekend, so there were not many people in the library.However, she saw Draco and Ernie, and she couldn't help but take a few steps forward.They sat at no more than three tables next to each other, and there were stacks of books on each table.Ernie sat upright, frowning, and his expression was extremely focused. The light of the morning sun fell on his face, but it couldn't soften it. Kelly suddenly realized that her round-faced brother had already matured.

Draco's position was in the corner, looking a bit dark.He tilted his head slightly, pursed his lips tightly, and clearly defined his jaw.The platinum-blond hair was not combed into the meticulous chairman's head, but scattered down, slightly covering his eyebrows and eyes.Crystal felt her heart skip a beat, and Draco seemed a little different from the boy she had seen in Shadgeshire.His slender fingers quickly flipped through the books in his hand, Christo only felt that her heart was about to be flipped.

Suddenly, Draco stood up, and she was startled, and quickly turned sideways and hid between the bookshelves.The sound of footsteps rang in her ears, and when she saw his back fading away, she remembered angrily that he couldn't see him at all at this moment.

She went out and lay on Ernie's table looking at him, her mind was in a mess, she was thinking about her brother and mother, but suddenly Draco stepped in, why didn't he go to a huddle with his blond girl Germaud?In an instant, she began to worry again, whether her brother's situation was isolated... She was lost in thought, when Ernie in front of her suddenly raised her head, those amber eyes seemed to see her where she was through the air.

She quickly stood up and took a few steps back, feeling that Ernie's eyes were too startling.She saw him smile suddenly, then lowered his head again.Christo was curious, but didn't dare to stay any longer.

She walked to Draco's table, only to find Pansy staying in another corner. She felt that the world had become unacceptable. She didn't meet Hermione, who loved to study the most, but met two Slytherin in the library.

But her attention was quickly drawn to what Dracoby had on the table.A pile of advanced books with silver snake-shaped bookmarks sandwiched between them, she looked around cautiously and found that no one was looking in this direction, so she stretched out her hand and flipped through it. It turned out that Draco had already learned this level, she was surprised and couldn’t help but I couldn't stop smiling, it was a kind of indescribable joy.

She put the book back, with Draco's notebook open in front of her.She hadn't seen his writing for a long time, and the more she read it, the more she missed him. He didn't even write a single letter to her. Thinking of this, she felt angry again.

A figure passed by the door of the library, and Christo stood up abruptly, she couldn't stay in his position.She glanced at the desktop, except for the parchment scroll with a few lines of writing under the notebook, the other things were too conspicuous, she pulled out the parchment mysteriously, hid it in her sleeve, and walked in Draco When he reached the penultimate table, he walked back to the bookshelves smoothly.
