[HP] The Tweed River flows

I thought the turmoil should be over, but in fact, on the contrary, when I knew nothing, trouble came quietly.

At first, I just noticed that my classmates looked at me strangely, but gradually, more abnormalities began to appear.Some whispers would suddenly stop when I approached, some malicious laughter suddenly sounded inexplicably behind me, and the tacit expression told me that they were sharing some anecdotes, only excluding me.

The quarrel in the school hospital late at night, and the conversation with Professor Slytherin later, should have been secrets that no one knew, but they still spread quietly in some unknown way.A raging undercurrent passed beneath the calm surface, and I knew nothing of it.Perhaps, in response to that sentence, the center of the storm is the calmest.

"Did you know? Two nights ago, I heard that she had a quarrel with Professor Ravenclaw. It is said that the quarrel was so fierce that it could be heard outside the school hospital!" Catherine Murray smiled secretly, facing her female companion Mary said.

"What's there to quarrel with my niece and aunt? And she's still a professor! Recently, when I was in Charms class, I saw Professor Ravenclaw's complexion has been not very good."

"Do you really think they're just nieces and aunts?"

"What do you mean? What do you mean 'just nieces and aunts'?"

Catherine leaned on Mary's shoulder and whispered something in her whisper.Mary's eyes widened instantly.

"It's impossible! But they don't look like mother and daughter at all!" Mary exclaimed, and Catherine immediately covered her mouth.

"What's impossible?" she said triumphantly. "You know, she also has a younger brother named Hayden Ravenclaw, but her parents never took only Hayden with them when they went out to visit friends." Don't you think it's strange that you won't bring her?"

"Didn't it mean that she was recuperating in Austria because of her poor health? This is also normal!"

"Healing?" Catherine snorted, "Do you think she looks like she is in poor health? And she doesn't have any German accent when she speaks. How could she grow up in Austria?"

"How do you know this?"

"Alexandra told me personally that her family and Ravenclaw are distant relatives, and they move a little bit, but even she has never heard of the existence of Helena... Besides, you see She's been here so long, have you ever seen her get any letters or parcels from home?"

"I haven't noticed it, but it seems that I have never heard her mention home... It's a bit strange to say that."

"That's right, it just means that her parents are at school!"

"But I still think it's ridiculous! What's more, Professor Slytherin is already married!"

"This is the key point. It is precisely because Professor Slytherin is married that he cannot marry Ravenclaw. Naturally, their daughter cannot be raised in a fair manner. Do you remember the time, Slater I don’t know what she said, but have you ever seen Professor Slytherin talk to any student in our college? No! Why should he meddle in his own business! Besides, her magic If you are still learning pharmacy so well, there must be something wrong!"

"It's unbelievable, and although I'm not from Ravenclaw, I have a lot of respect for Professor Ravenclaw. Such an outstanding lady, beautiful and wise—"

"Don't be fooled by appearance! Think about it, why hasn't such a woman married yet? I heard that her suitors can form an army, but why is she always alone?"

"Isn't it because he is obsessed with magic and devotes all his body and mind to the cultivation of young wizards, isn't he too busy at work?"

Catherine sneered, "Too busy to get married? It's so fresh. Isn't Mrs. Hufflepuff married? Her husband is still such a good person, what's wrong with having such a helper? Do you have to be alone? I said, she is the most sanctimonious of all the teachers, she has a noble temperament and elegant demeanor, who knows if she has done some shameful things in private so that she can't get married—"

"Enough!" I stood out from the shadow of the corner angrily, and growled: "You are not allowed to slander Professor Ravenclaw!"

Mary showed a guilty and panicked expression, but Catherine's proud expression was more obvious.

"It's a guilty conscience, isn't it?"

"Shut your mouth, otherwise, I will make you pay a terrible price!"

"Oh yeah? What can you do? Tell your mum or dad? Yes, they can both take points off the house, it's horrible," she laughed wantonly.

I looked at her coldly and drew out my wand.Catherine's face turned pale, and she subconsciously reached for her pocket.

"You don't dare... This is a corridor, magic is not allowed!" She suppressed her smile, looking alert and flustered.

"I'll show you if I dare," I said coldly, raising my wand without hesitation.When it comes to spells, she will definitely not be my opponent.

Catherine stopped reaching for her pocket suddenly. She looked behind me and screamed, "Professor! She's going to put a curse on me in the corridor!"

I sneered coldly, and taunted me: "Is this the only low-level trick?" I threw out a few of the most powerful curses that I could master at that time.She can't avoid it, and she can't stop it——

Just when I thought she was about to lie unconscious on the ground, I heard the sound of the spell snapping—my spell was shaken off by a great force, and Catherine was still empty-handed.Before I could react, another spell fell through the air, and my wand was thrown out of my hand immediately, whirling and hitting the wall, making a crisp sound.

who is it?I'm ashamed and angry, and it's a shame to be disarmed for no reason, and no one has ever knocked my wand off.I looked around, looking for the source of that power, but there were only two people in front of me, Catherine and Mary, looking behind me helplessly and silently.

This look doesn't look like it's faked.I hesitated, turned around, and saw Professor Ravenclaw standing behind him with a livid face.

"Miss Ravenclaw, no magic is allowed in the corridors," said the mother sternly, looking annoyed. "Ten points from Ravenclaw."

"But they—"

"There is no 'but' anymore, no matter what the reason is, you can't use such spells on your classmates."

Catherine showed a smug expression.

"Miss Murray, why don't you go back to your common room? If I remember correctly, your class is over today." Mother said coldly, turning her head suddenly.Catherine still had time to hide the snicker on her face, but she was caught off guard by her mother's stare, and she was very embarrassed.

"Yes, Professor," she whispered guiltily, and pulled Mary away quickly.

Seeing the two students walking away, my mother turned her head and looked at me, her expression still serious.

"Where did you learn such a vicious spell?"

"Vicious? You don't know what is vicious!"

"Helena," my mother put her hand on my shoulder with a complex expression, and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Do you know what will happen if your spell hits her?"

"You didn't even figure out what happened, did you? Do you know what they said?" I raised my head and stared at her resentfully. Feeling tears were about to come out of my eyes, I shook off her hand and stepped back. "My fault, my fault, it's all my fault! That's fine, professor!" I turned and ran away, leaving her alone in the corridor.I don't want her to see my weakness with tears streaming down my face no matter what.I defended her, but she didn't ask indiscriminately, and asked angrily why I used such vicious magic.I was so guilty that I wanted to find a chance to apologize for the quarrel that night!Not in the future, never again, I swear I will never take things related to her so carefully to my heart.

I wiped the tears off my face and walked away with my head held high.No matter how she called my name, I didn't look back.So I didn't see how frightened and distressed her expression was, and I didn't even know that the back of me escaping always played back in her dreams for the rest of her life, becoming the most painful scene.
