[HP] The Tweed River flows

The events of that day spread like lightning.As if in one day, the whole world knew that Helena Ravenclaw had slapped Patrick Gunter in public.By the time I went back to the dormitory at night, Searle had already heard about it.I thought she wouldn't agree with my approach, but she said I did a good job, and I should have taught this bastard a long time ago.It is said that Patrick lived a life of a vagabond with extremely bad character, and had spoiled many girls in private, but because of his powerful family, no one dared to stand up and disobey him.Hearing what she said, I was relieved, and finally felt that I had done one thing right.

Patrick never came to see me again, and he wasn't even in my sight for a long time.I thought I had finally got rid of this annoying suitor, only to find out how wrong I was.Fate is like this, when you think everything is over, in fact, it has just begun.Venomous snakes just lurk in the shadows, waiting for their prey to approach.

Searle and I have had different schedules since third grade.While we all love animals, Searle is allergic to fur and had to refrain from her favorite class on Care of Fantastic Creatures.So, from the third grade, I walked back to the castle alone through the clearing at the edge of the Forbidden Forest after school.Maybe it sounds lonely, but I'm used to it and it doesn't feel like much.It is better to be alone than to hang out with a few people who are not compatible.

It was just an ordinary afternoon, I walked towards the castle alone as usual after class.Halfway through the walk, I suddenly felt something strange in my pocket, and I subconsciously reached out to touch it, but the wand was gone.A burst of cold sweat broke out.Trying to remember the last time I used my wand, I retrace my steps, fumbling in my bag as I go.

With nothing but a few wooden desks for the Care of Magical Creatures class, the last hope of getting away with it was dashed.I bit my lip, looking at the dead leaves and footprints on the mud, maybe it would be a wiser choice to go straight back to the castle and borrow Syl's wand to cast a spell of coming.

When did the wand disappear?I walked slowly towards the castle, wondering why the things I used before the class disappeared out of thin air after the get out of class.

The sun was sinking, and a dark phantom gradually appeared in the Forbidden Forest; the wind blew through the treetops, making a rustling sound.Empty pockets make me feel insecure, and the Forbidden Forest at dusk is full of weirdness.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps sounded behind him.Before I could turn my head, someone covered my mouth from behind, twisted violently, and pushed into the Forbidden Forest.

I fell on the muddy floor with my knees bent, and the thorns from the bushes went through my clothes and stuck to me. "What are you doing—" I coughed violently, trying to struggle to stand up.But that person tightly covered my mouth and pressed me to the ground.I couldn't free his hand, so I bit him hard. The man screamed in pain, and retracted his hand.

"Help--"

The man hastily pulled out his wand: "No—no sound!"

The cry for help was suffocated in my throat for an instant, but taking advantage of this moment, I saw the face of that person—a red-haired man with a rough face.

I opened my mouth ridiculously and stared blankly at this man.I do not know him.who is he?What is he going to do?I want to ask, but there seems to be something stuffed in my throat, and I can't make any sound.

Seeing my expression, he stroked his chin thoughtfully, let out a hoarse laugh, and without saying a word, suddenly brought his unshaven face close to me.The strong alcohol mixed with the smell of sweat and earth rushed straight up my nose, making my stomach queasy.I suddenly understood what he was going to do, and fear strangled my heart.The moment his lips touched my neck, I shuddered all over, it was disgusting!I struggled desperately, every organ in my body screamed and resisted.

"Don't move," he ordered viciously, putting all his weight on me, grabbing my hand with one hand, and reaching for my waist with the other——"stabbed" and the cloth split , the skin is exposed to the cool air.

"Get out—" I wanted to scream, but I could only let out a series of dry coughs.I stared at him angrily, and all he let out was a harsh sneer.

"Don't waste your energy, you can save yourself a little bit of trouble by obediently—"

I ruthlessly dug into his flesh with my nails, and he loosened his hand in pain. I shook off his hand, grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground and sprinkled it.

"Damn—" he cursed, raising a hand to rub his eyes.

I pushed him violently with all my strength, and got up straight away.

"Dizzy--" An inaccurate spell hit the ground at my feet.Immediately afterwards, another curse came straight to my back, my legs tripped on something, and I fell hard on the ground for the third time, with a large bruise on my arm, blood oozing out.

"Ah——" I screamed, my heart was about to jump out of fear—someone grabbed my ankle and tried to drag me back—I kicked back hard, broke free from the hand, and rolled and crawled He stood up and ran desperately towards the place where there was light.

A few more curses flew over my head, loud curses, broken branches and splashes of mud.I didn't dare to look back, and I couldn't fight back. Fear squeezed out all my reason, and all kinds of terrible scenes flashed in my mind.I escaped from the Forbidden Forest in embarrassment, ran to the gate of the castle, and knocked on the door like crazy.

"Who—who is it? Please wait a moment! Immediately—" The gatekeeper trotted over and unlocked the gate, and exclaimed, "Child, what's wrong with you?"

Although the soundless and breathless spell has expired, I seem to have lost the ability to speak, and I can't speak a word.The senses gradually returned to me, but it only made me feel pain and exhaustion all over my body.I lowered my head and stared blankly at my hands covered in dust and dead leaves, as well as my torn robe. After a few seconds, I suddenly lost all the strength to struggle, my legs went limp, and I sat slumped on the ground. , and then burst into tears.

－－－－－－－－－－－－

For a whole month, I dared not walk out of the gate of the school hospital.I insisted on closing myself in a tight-fitting curtain, not seeing anyone, not saying anything, just hugging my knees and staring at somewhere in the void in a daze, sitting for a whole day.My mind was full of unspeakable horrors, and every inch he touched made me feel sick, as if it was stained with some kind of filth that would never be cleansed.The nightmare tormented me endlessly, and the savage ridicule and disgusting panting of the strange man always echoed in my ears, which made me wake up in the middle of the night crying and trembling countless times.

For a whole month, nothing happened.Neither my mother, nor the other three founders had any clue about this, and couldn't investigate it publicly.No one knew who this man was, where he came from, why he did what he did, how he could come and go freely at Hogwarts.My wand also inexplicably turned up in a classroom at school and was returned to me shortly thereafter.No one knows why it mysteriously disappeared on that crucial afternoon, and then reappeared out of thin air.During the month of my disappearance, I kept claiming that I was in poor health and went home to recuperate.Seale alone helped me fend off the flood of inquiries, but he couldn't always accompany me in the school hospital.Only Alger, as the representative of the family, came to the school secretly.Although he has graduated for many years, he insisted on turning down all the jobs to accompany me through this difficult time.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, not to mention that the culprit and his accomplices are still in this school.
