【Yo Deng】Badger and Snake

Ambition burned in Moritz Aldrich's eyes, "That means Gryffindor rules Hogwarts!"

He punched hard: "I want to prove to everyone that we are the best academy, and we are the only choice!"

Dojima looked at the complacent Moritz Aldrich, and felt that he didn't know him at all.

"Zhuo," as if realizing something, Aldrich approached him, "You won't... tell other people about this?"

Dojima Takuo trembled unconsciously.

"No, no, of course not, brother, what are you talking about—" He wanted to use a joke to brighten the atmosphere, but found that the corners of his mouth were so stiff that he couldn't lift it.

"That's good." Aldrich sat back, but the ferocity in his eyes still did not fade away.He looked at Takuo Dojima maliciously, and said, "You should know the fate of betraying me and Gryffindor."

"Of course, of course," Dojima tried to force a smile, "How could I do such a stupid thing... No matter how stupid I am... I won't."

"Very good," Aldridge picked up another taffy, "then you go, there is nothing else to do."

Dojima Takuru stood up with amnesty and bowed again and again: "Brother, go to bed early."

After leaving Moritz Aldrich's room, he realized that his back was covered in cold sweat.

——Of course he knew the fate of betraying Aldrich and Gryffindor.

But what happens when you betray your friend?

Dojima Takuo took off his glasses and wiped them with his robe over and over again, as if the dust on them would never be wiped off.

Landon Knott held on to the handrail covered with snake scales, and carefully descended the spiral staircase to the common room.Due to the dim lighting, the Slytherin common room at night was more gloomy than during the day: faint green light dotted around the walls, hitting the dark green snakeskin sofa, overlapping a dazzling emerald green.

Langdon took out his pocket watch and checked the time, confirming that it was two minutes to two in the middle of the night.He walked towards the only firelight in the dark green—the fireplace under the giant serpent statue, then knelt down in front of the fireplace, waiting quietly.

At this point in time, he was the only living person in the entire lounge, and the sound of breathing was clearly discernible in the dead silence.He played with the pocket watch in his hand, and couldn't help thinking of the scene when Nanami Dengzi caught him on a night tour last time—it wasn't very scary, but he still shuddered—that woman's name is now the same as that hell They were linked together by the same torture, and could never be separated again.

A moderate "puchi" sound interrupted his thoughts.He hastily bent his knees forward and looked at the fire in the fireplace - there appeared a floating human head, none other than his biological brother Ivan Nott.

"Brother!" He rushed forward as if seeing a savior, "Have you read my letter?"

"Of course." Ivan rolled his eyes, as if he was not used to this kind of Floo conversation, "otherwise how could I turn on the fireplace and come to see you at this time, my silly brother .”

"That's great..." Langdon breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to cry, "Brother, you don't even know me, I... I was caught by that guy... She just relied on you not being here to treat me..."

"Qihai Dengzi is a whore," Ivan said calmly, "I knew this a long time ago, so I left you a retreat. Do you still keep the pendant I gave you before I left? "

"Keep it, keep it." Langdon immediately pulled the pendant out of his shirt.It was a silver chain pendant, with a thumb-sized emerald hanging on it, and a snake with a poisonous message coiled around the stone.

"Very good." Ivan nodded, "Now I will tell you the spell, you have to memorize it—as long as you hold the gem and recite it, some of the memories I sealed for Qihai Lantern before will restore them As it should be."

"What's going on?" Langdon eagerly approached the fireplace, "What memories did you seal up for Qihai?"

"Do you remember the ball at the end of May this year? It was the ball that Theodore Rozier attended from Durmstrang," reminded Ivan Knott. Everyone was drunk and returned to the dormitory in a daze. Don't you think it's strange? There are so many people who attended the dance, and no one went back sober—"

"You modified our memory?" Langdon's face turned pale, "What happened?"

Ivan Knott sneered: "Golden apples—the golden apples at the ball were drugged with drugs like aphrodisiacs or fascination agents, and Samurai Saeki kissed Nanami Lantern after eating it—in order to cover up this Qi Hai stunned all of you."

Langdon Knott was struck by lightning: "You...what are you talking about, Saeki, she...she really..."

"She really likes Qihai Dengzi, can't you feel it?" Ivan gave him a reproachful look, "I know you like her very much, but she probably has an affair with Qihai, so you should forget about it."

Regardless of Langdon's distraught, he said to himself again: "It's strange, since she has an affair with Qihai, why is she still willing to get engaged to Theodore Rozier?"

"She's engaged to Theodore Rozier?!" Another thunderbolt of news hit Langdon's head. He felt dizzy and fell back weakly, leaning against the armrest of the snakeskin sofa .

Seeing the appearance of his younger brother, Ivan Nott felt a little resentful: "It's just a woman, what are you doing like this? The old man Zuebo's recent political situation is very bad, and he urgently needs his strength to intervene It is not surprising that the only daughter will get engaged to Theodore Rozier. The strange thing is that Samika Saeki agreed without saying a word, and I don’t know what is going on with her and Nanami.”

Hearing this sentence, his sanity returned to Langdon Knott's stomach.He couldn't help thinking of Nanami Dengko's excessive attention to Koito Yu before—a guess naturally formed in his mind——

"Qami... Nanami cheated!" he yelled, "I know, Qihai cheated! She did that to me just because of a Hufflepuff half-breed - she must have hooked up with that bastard, That's why Saeki, Saeki-"

For the rest, he couldn't go on.The image of Saeki Shamixiang weeping inwardly took shape in his imagination, and his heart ached so much that he wished he could run upstairs immediately and cut the woman who made Saeki cry—

"—Even so, you can't defeat her, can you?" Ivan Nott laughed mockingly, "The pendant I gave you is a double-edged sword. If you use it before the election, you can only would shame Slytherins along with it. So your best course of action is to hold it, threaten her, keep your Quidditch captaincy, and tell her not to touch you again. If she does tell you Even better if she had an affair with that Hufflepuff bastard - she'd be even more afraid of this archived memory being exposed."

"But—but I—" Langdon gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, feeling so powerless, "do I just watch her marry Rozier, and I can't help her—"

"—I advise you not to think about it," Ivan Knott said coldly, "Samika Saeki and Theodore Rozier are not simply engaged, they are a political marriage, and it will take place on the 21st. It's impossible for you to stop it, and it's too late. As for venting—" He looked meaningfully at the unhealed wound on his brother's head, "I think you will be taught a lesson by Qi Hai again."

Langdon gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Ivan, who knew his brother's temperament well, seemed helpless, so he had to comfort him a few words, and then said: "Listen to me, Langdon, pay attention to when you use the pendant. Only use it to protect yourself when you have to, you know?" ?”

"...I see," Langdon murmured.

"Okay, then I'll go to sleep first, and you should also hurry up and rest." Ivan Nott's head floated in the flames for a while, and then disappeared with another popping sound.

Landon Knott just sat where he was, his head flashing through Samika Saeki's smiles and all the short conversations they had.

He has been secretly in love with Saeki Samika for three years.And this secret love is about to collapse into dust that no one cares about in less than a week.Saeki Samika likes Nanami Dengko, so she did not hesitate to give up her position as the prefect, and supported her all the way to the present, but that heartless bastard found her in another way, which made Saeki come to this point—marrying someone she doesn't like. love man.

"Damn!" He slammed the ground hard, "Damn! Damn, hate, hate, hate—"

Saeki Samika's voice and smile began to fade, replaced by those traces brought by Nanami Dengzi.His healed and unhealed wounds began to ache again, the pain made him clutch his chest, and the pain made him cry——

"damn it……"

—He couldn't do nothing, absolutely not.

I'm sorry, brother.Langdon apologized inwardly.I am a useless brother, useless to rely on your help to go against your wishes.

——If he stops here, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
