"I've been looking forward to it for so long, Orpington, you finally came to participate, you finally gave me a bit of face as a professor." Slughorn was wearing a dark purple suit and his shirt button on his belly was about to pop open. Warmly greet you.

Olivia couldn't help laughing, but thanks to Snape pinching her under the sleeve, she was able to greet her in a normal tone: "Merlin knows how much I want to come to this party full of talents, but unfortunately, Mr. There are such and such bad things that hold me back."

"In fact, few people can capture your mysterious footprints. More than one classmate told me that you are like a ghost, no, no, most of the time, even the ghost doesn't know where you are." Slughorn humorous Said, "At least we can see the ghost's translucent body, but we can't see a corner of your black robe."

Not sure if Slughorn was implying that someone was suing him, Olivia smiled and said, "They should really draw the curtains of the bedroom, maybe they can see me swimming past their window."

Slughorn laughed, and turned the topic to Snape: "I haven't seen you for a summer vacation. You look a lot stronger. I wanted to say that your face was too pale before."

Unlike the two of them who can talk, Snape said succinctly: "It seems to be good to put down the potion once in a while and go out to bask in the sun."

"That's true. Young people like you should run and jump more. Unlike me, half of your bones will fall apart after jumping."

What you have to worry about is to jump once and shudder twice.Olivia and Snape complained tacitly in their hearts.

Wizards have slimming potions, but unless it's women who are crazy about looks, few of them actually use them.The effectiveness of the slimming potion seems to lie in the disgusting smell of bedbugs after the meat has rotted in a cesspit. Even if you smell it for a while, you will not want to eat for a month.

Slughorn was clearly unwilling to part with his wine and food.

"You are all here for the first time, have fun, don't be restrained." Another person came, and he quickly put an end to this conversation, ready to start the next social interaction.

Olivia responded with a smile.

There were quite a few students who came to the party. There were students from all grades in the four colleges, and there were not many students from the lower grades. The sophomores like Olivia and Snape appeared here, which attracted the attention of the students present. There was a wave.

So Olivia went to put a plate of fruit on the buffet table under the eyes of many people, either openly or secretly, and ate it without restraint.

Snape had been with her for a long time, and he had been led astray by her for a long time. He didn't think there was anything wrong with her like this. The two of them completely ignored other people's eyes and chatted while eating.

"Shall we go over there?" Snape noticed a small circle of Slytherins.

People in Slytherin can be easily recognized anywhere in the school. Although the other three colleges also have a collective consciousness, they don't necessarily require students to act together. Like at this party, everyone is looking for like-minded people. Communicate with partners, scattered in twos and threes.Only Slytherin, occupying a circle very abruptly, gathered together with a haughty and reserved look.

Although, in fact, not many people want to deal with Slytherin.

Olivia forked a tomato cherry into her mouth, and said after eating, "I don't think we're in the Slytherin common room."

"Actually, you see that Parkinson is also in it."

Olivia was surprised: "He's here too?"

"..." Snape couldn't help sympathizing with the prefect for a second.

Olivia finally took a serious look this time, and found that Robert was also in the Slytherin group, but he was standing in a relatively peripheral corner and did not join the conversation around, so she didn't find him when she glanced over.

Of course she would not do such a thing on purpose.

In the past few days, she has been wanting to see the wound on his face.

"His face seems to have healed." Olivia felt a little regretful.

She wasn't so dark and wanted to expect him to be disfigured, she just wanted to see how his wounds were, to judge the extent of the curse that the girl had used, and by the way, she could gloat a little.

"It's been a few days. Even if Madam Pomfrey's potion is not effective, Parkinson's family does not lack advanced scar removal potions." Snape felt that Olivia's narrow-mindedness was very reasonable. If it was him, he would probably be disappointed why the spell didn't hit him directly in the face.

Snape suddenly thought that if it was Lily, no matter how much she hated someone, she wouldn't have the bad idea of ​​wishing the other person misfortune.Of course Lily is kind and sunny, but he doesn't seem to be able to think that Olivia is vicious like this.

If anything, he somehow felt that Olivia's little desire for revenge was quite... pleasing to him.

"Let's go over there." After eating the fruit, Olivia looked at another group with a larger number of people besides Slytherin.

As soon as they walked over, they heard heated discussions.

"...Impossible. Although Scarlet's bark can preserve the words written on it for a long time, this makes it impossible for you to destroy those handwritings. The words on SOMENote can be deleted, so it is absolutely impossible It's made from the bark of the scaard tree."

Olivia blinked and continued to listen with interest.

"It's just that you don't know how to eliminate it." A girl with mottled fluffy blond hair said calmly, "I did an experiment on SOMENote paper, and carats responded to it, and carats only used Scarlet leaves as a Food. And judging from the flexibility of paper, only the bark of Sgard has this ability to withstand magic."

The boy who retorted blushed a little: "Then do you know how to eliminate it?"

"Of course I don't know, it must not be easy, otherwise anyone can make SOME." The female physiology said naturally.

The boy immediately said: "Since you can't figure it out, it means that this guess is just nonsense, and the reaction of Krachong may be due to other reasons."

"My experiment..."

Another girl smiled and said: "Laurel, don't mention your experiments, Madam Pomfrey always provides you with a lot of healing potions, and I'm worried that the next time the experiment fails, I will ask you My life."

The blond girl smiled and said gently: "Then at least it can tell others that the experiment was wrong."

The people around ignored her and started another topic.

When the girl automatically exited the crowd, Olivia walked over and said hello: "Hi, I'm Olivia Orpington."

"Laurel Ellis." She tilted her head to look over, her big blue eyes were clear and clear, "I know you."

Olivia raised her eyebrows: "Really?"

"I mentioned those portraits, saying that you often chat with them and draw pictures for them." Laurel asked curiously, "Are you learning how to make portraits?"

Olivia smiled: "It turns out that the girl they said is close to you is you. I'm not interested in making portraits, I just like drawing, it's just a small hobby."

Laurel was a little disappointed: "I also want to discuss the material of the canvas with you. In fact, I think SOME's cover has something to do with this."

This one doesn't.Olivia thought to herself, but she was very interested in the previous statement.

"Why are you so sure the paper is made of sgard bark?"

"I have studied the characteristics of all the bark, excluded, compared, and tested, and only Scarlet is the most likely." After finishing speaking, she added, "My intuition also thinks so."

intuition?This is not a scientifically rigorous method.

Seemingly seeing her thinking, or getting used to explaining it to others, Laurel said in a flat tone: "My intuition is generally accurate."

Olivia nodded: "I believe."

Laurel finally showed a surprised expression.

"Because I also think Sgard Bark is the most likely."

Laurel looked at Olivia with bright eyes, his fair face was slightly flushed, he seemed a little shy, and then he smiled happily.

This is a strange, but very beautiful girl.

Laurel is a third-year student in Ravenclaw. She seems to have endless fantastic ideas, but in the eyes of others, those are her unrealistic delusions, and she actually tried to prove her conjecture with experiments correct.

Laurel didn't seem to care about other people's denials, and he pulled Olivia excitedly and said, "In Northern Europe, there is a kind of corner snoring. They can affect people's dreams. If it likes you, it will make you do it." Sweet dream, if you don't like you, it will make you haunted by nightmares."

"Where did you hear that?" Olivia's magical creature class was not good, so I don't know if what she said is true.

"My grandma. She said that my parents had seen it, but unfortunately they disappeared during an expedition, otherwise I could ask them where it is." Laurel said.

When she mentioned that her parents disappeared, she didn't show any sadness. Instead, she regretted not being able to know the location of the horned snoring beast.

Olivia didn't think she was indifferent, maybe she had a different understanding in her unique head.

"Sounds very interesting." Olivia said, "I have been to Northern Europe many times before, and I have seen heartworms, ridgebacks, and unicorns, but I haven't met a crooked snorkel yet."

"unicorn?"

"Yes, deep in the Nordic forest."

Laurel looked envious: "Then you are really lucky."

Olivia decided to tell her: "In fact, there are also in the Forbidden Forest."

Laurel was taken aback.

Olivia whispered to her quietly: "If there is a chance, I will take you there. You are not allowed to find it yourself. There are more than unicorns in it."

Laurel nodded seriously.

Chatting with this girl who also likes traveling and exploring mysteries, Olivia habitually raised her eyes to search for Snape, and found that he was talking to two people not far away, with the same expression on her face. don't worry.

"By the way, do you have a SOME number?" she asked.

After a while, a boy came to look for Laurel, and Olivia left with an excuse to get a glass of wine.

That boy was obviously interested in Laurel, if she didn't know how to be interested, no one would be to blame for being kicked to death by thestrals.

Seeing that Snape didn't mean to end for the time being, she didn't bother, and took another plate of fruit and ran to the terrace to eat. She had just eaten two strawberries, and a person opened the curtain and strode in.

Olivia almost choked to death.

Swallowing what was in her mouth quickly, she showed a standard smile: "Good evening, Prefect Parkinson."

Robert obviously followed her in, and said with a sullen expression: "You always seem to be unable to learn how to fit in?"

"Is there a rule in Hogwarts that says students are not allowed to act alone?"

The terrace was not big, and the distance between the two of them exceeded the scope of their relationship, but Olivia did not back down, still leaning on the railing, looking at Robert with a slight smile.

"You always like to use the rules as a weapon." Robert said mockingly, "It seems that there is no night tour in the school rules?"

"Do I have a night tour?" Olivia asked back in surprise, "Who saw it?"

Robert watched her play innocent coldly.

Olivia didn't look at him, and forked another apple: "If you haven't been caught, it can't be counted as a violation, isn't it? Parkinson's prefect."

"You're only a Slytherin in that."

"What should happen to Slytherin, I'm afraid only Salazar knows - and maybe Godric?"

"I'm curious." Robert took a step forward. "Where did you get the confidence to make you so arrogant and defiant? Huh? The Orpington family hiding like a mouse?"

"I'm also curious," Olivia continued to eat cherries, "I don't see many people in my eyes, and I don't see anyone who is as entangled as you are. How much do you lack love, do you have to be seen in others' eyes? "

Robert was furious. He took two steps forward and grabbed her arm holding the plate, causing the fruit inside to fall to the ground.

He whispered coldly close to her ear: "I heard that your parents were involved in the attack of the Quidditch match and died eight years ago. If the Dark Lord knew about it and you held resentment towards him, why not Get close to the Mudblood... what do you think will happen?"

Olivia glanced sideways at her arm, then looked up at him again.

Robert continued proudly: "You know, many people in Slytherin have already surrendered to the Duke of Darkness. As long as you give an order, your life in Slytherin will definitely not be as leisurely as it is now. By the way, Mal Fu is quite popular with the Dark Lord now, I heard that you two are still relatives? I wonder if Malfoy can..."

Without any warning at all, Olivia picked up the plate with the other hand and slapped Robert hard on the face. Before he could react, she bent her knees and hit his stomach hard. At this time, he quickly raised his elbow and gave him a hit on the back of his head.

A series of actions are seamlessly connected, as if they have been rehearsed countless times before.

Robert fell face down on the ground.

Feeling overwhelmed, Olivia raised her foot and kicked his ass twice.

"I don't know what will happen to me then, but I think I can know what will happen to you then."

She stepped on his arm that was pulling out his wand in his arms, and cast two binding spells on his hands and feet. Olivia bent down and approached him, pressing her wand against his neck: "You said, Malfoy is very popular with the mysterious man." Reused? What about you? Are you unable to even see his face?"

"You really want to be Slytherin No.1, right? Unfortunately, even without Malfoy, there is Black and Nott, you? You are still far from qualified."

Robert wanted to struggle, but was afraid of the wand around his neck: "Let me go!"

"Not reconciled? You can't even subdue me, so why not be reconciled? Believe it or not, I pull the curtain now, and guess what they will say about you after seeing this scene?"

"you dare!"

Olivia smiled: "Tell me, do I dare?"

Robert trembled, gritted his teeth and said, "If you have the ability, you kill me now, otherwise, I will never make it easier for you."

The curtain was pulled open suddenly, he turned his face to the other side reflexively, Snape who came in reacted very quickly and closed the curtain, and asked with some inability to respond: "Olivia?"

"It's okay, let's have a little joke with our prefect." Olivia straightened up, moved her foot away from Robert's hand, and patted the ashes on his hand, "You go out first, I will immediately come out."

Ghosts believe you!

"Seeing that I'm not the only one with you, they will be even more strange if I go out now." Snape didn't move.He knew why she let him out, because she was afraid that Parkinson would take revenge on him.

Robert hurriedly wanted to get up, but the bound arms and legs made him twist in vain, which made him look extremely ashamed and indignant.

Snape looked Olivia up and down several times, and seeing that her hair was not messed up, he knew that she was not at a disadvantage. After a little reassurance, he felt a little embarrassed about the scene in front of him.

It's almost a dead end situation.

"Prefect Parkinson's threat made me feel a little scared. What should I do? Is it really necessary to kill someone to silence it?" Olivia thought about it for a while, then clapped her hands with a clever idea, and untied her hair A headband, a little with the wand, and it turns into a point-and-shoot camera.

Robert's eyes widened.

"Come on, don't move, let me take a good picture."

Robert turned his face desperately to prevent her from taking pictures, but Olivia simply petrified him, and after taking pictures of him from all angles, she shook the photo in front of his eyes.

"If I get into any trouble in the future, I'm afraid these photos will fly to every student's plate at breakfast time. In fact, I am very unwilling to do such a despicable thing. For the sake of you, me, everyone, everyone, everyone From now on, we will just pass by each other without knowing each other, okay?"

"You will regret it, I will definitely make you regret it..."

Olivia put away the photo and said casually, "If you want to regret it too."

She undid Robert's binding spell, turned around and walked out of the balcony with Snape, before lifting the curtain, she turned her head and cast a disarming spell on Robert who got up, and the wand in his hand fell to the ground.

"One last time, Parkinson." Olivia stared at him blankly, "Don't bother me in the future."

Robert watched her back disappear behind the curtain, and thumped the railing hard.

The author has something to say:

Tears of sympathy were shed for Parkinson.

Laurel is Luna's mother. I will briefly describe some of the characters from her own generation, but many people are unknown to Olivia. She only remembers some of the main people.
