Chapter 34: The Price of Silence

Mel knew that if she said a word, the diary would be discovered by the Weasleys, and then the diary would be destroyed.

But she was a little hesitant. The reason why Harry Potter and the others were able to defeat Voldemort in the end was largely due to the tempering of the events he experienced in Hogwarts. Mel letting the diary be destroyed now is equivalent to reducing Harry's final survival. possibility.

However, this diary is really too dangerous. In Mel's memory, there were five or six people who were petrified at that time, and the reason why these people didn't die was really because of some coincidences that couldn't be more coincidental.

What if these coincidences are broken?

Of course, since these coincidences exist, they are reasonable and will not be broken easily unless there is a chain reaction of the "butterfly effect".

And Mel is that butterfly!

"Mel, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Mel standing in front of her with a yellow face, Ginny felt a little strange.

"Oh! It's okay!" Mel, who was struggling, was interrupted by Ginny. Suddenly, she remembered something. The diary incident was not only a training for Harry, but also a training for Ginny. The incident, Ginny's inner thoughts have been simmering.It is hard to guarantee that after many years, Ginny will be the second Percy.

It seems that the only person who needs to stop him this year is Mel, the 'butterfly'!

"Ginny, I have a headache and I have to go. See you at Hogwarts!" After saying this, Mel hurriedly bid farewell to the Weasleys, Harry, and Hermione, and went to the Leaky Cauldron to find the stills. The sad father left Diagon Alley quickly, and fled in despair.

In the life after school, Mel lived in a regular and honest way, which made people who knew her feel very strange.People who don't know her can't feel her existence.

Mel knew very well that her mission this year was to be silent, so whether it was the twins asking her to watch Quidditch training, or Snape making trouble for her, or Malfoy sneering at her when he met her, Mel chose to ignore it and tried her best to keep silent. Be invisible.

When the butterfly does not flap its wings, where does the butterfly effect come from?

But what's the situation now?

In the self-study room next to the library, Mel, who was trying to keep the dormitory, dining room, and classroom three-point line, had a big head. She looked helplessly at the black-haired, yellow-skinned Chinese girl Miss Qiuzhang in front of her.

"Thank you for your kindness, Qiu! I'm not hungry yet, you go eat first!" Mel tried to put on a friendly smile.

"Ah! But...then goodbye!"

Cho Chang is pulled away by her already impatient friend.

Seeing the figure of the two of Mel leaving, he wiped the sweat off his brow, seriously reviewed himself, and took out a small notebook that was densely filled with small characters.

She seriously wrote on it, "Article 19, you must not be nosy this year! The lesson is too painful!"

Mel couldn't help but burst into tears when he thought of how he met Qiu Zhang.

A long time ago, Mel had curiosity and affection for Cho Chang, who is of Chinese descent, but he never had the chance to get to know him.

Until a week ago, in the same self-study classroom, in the same seat, Mel was writing her Potions thesis.

Mel, who is usually concentrating, is hard to be interrupted by anything, but this time a few words kept popping up, 'braid', 'Laoshan Taoist', 'flying carpet', etc. teased Mel's nerves , bringing Mel back to his senses, wondering what happened?

Watching a group of Ravenclaws debating in front of them, Mel quickly found the point: they were writing a paper on "A Comparative Study of the History of Witchcraft in the East and the West", which was written by Professor Binns.

Ravenclaw students are famous for being smart and love to study, but for some reason this time, their discussion ended up off topic, and the family talked about the mysterious oriental braid.

At this point, Qiu Zhang of course has to explain to everyone that the current Chinese are no longer like that, and everyone's hairstyle is the same.

However, although Qiu Zhang is of Chinese descent, she is an out-and-out British citizen, her parents were both born in the UK, and Qiu Zhang cannot even speak Chinese, so naturally her rebuttals are weak.

Seeing Qiu Zhang stammering from everyone's arguments, Mel couldn't stand it!

She slapped the table, rushed into the crowd, ruthlessly presented the facts to the Ravenclaw students, and told these students: You are too backward, and you still use the history of 100 years ago as news!

Finally, seeing everyone's stunned expressions and Qiu Zhang's grateful eyes, Mel felt that she had made everyone realize their mistakes, and went back to do her homework triumphantly.

Didn't they know that after she finished her homework and left, the Ravenclaw students tremblingly wiped off their cold sweat and took a deep breath!

"Finally left! I was scared to death!" Ravenclaw student A patted his chest in shock.

"I thought she was going to put a jinx on us!" Ravenclaw Student B tugged on the wizard's robe, because the clothes stuck to his body because of the cold sweat.

"You know Decora Malfoy from Slytherin, right?" Student C looked mysterious and nodded as he watched everyone, "Look at how energetic he is at school all day. I heard she called him 'Xiao Huang' Mao', and beat him up, and Malfoy dared not fight back!"

"What is this!" Someone retorted, "I heard that she blew up Professor Snape's Potions classroom when she deducted her marks because of Professor Snape in the first grade!"

"That was a long time ago, I heard..."

Mel, who had already left, of course didn't know that Ravenclaw students also love to gossip!After this incident, her image at Hogwarts was comparable to that of a troll.

And all Mel knew was that she was in big trouble!

In the corridor, she will receive friendly smiles from Qiu Zhang's children. In the study room, there will be a beautiful woman at the same table next to her. When eating, someone will be afraid that she will miss the time!

Mel is going crazy, she loves Cho Chang and wants to be friends with her, but not this year.

Finally, in order to avoid Qiu Zhang's friendship, Mel resorted to her ultimate magic weapon - the Marauder's Map.

She marked Cho Chang as a person who needed to be alerted, just like Ginny, Harry, and the trio. As long as they were near her, the Marauder's Map would issue a warning, and Mel would take a detour.

But there is one thing that Mel can't avoid, that is, when eating, Qiu Zhang often comes to talk to her. Although Mel feels very distressed, she knows that she cherishes this very much in her heart. Friendship, she's finally going to have a female friend.

Gradually, Mel and Qiu Zhang chatted more and more during the meal!Mel carefully controlled the time, never exceeding 5 minutes at a time, and she never procrastinated at the dinner table.

Such days made Mel tortured, and she regretted this "silent" decision to death. Sometimes standing alone in the crowd, Mel had an impulse: she wanted to rush into the girls' dormitory in Gryffindor immediately, and put The diary in Ginny's hand was snatched, and it was shredded into pieces!

Just when Mel was about to carry out this impulse, Mrs. Norris, Filch's cat, was petrified.

Harry Potter was there, and rumors slowly spread through the school.All this made Mel suppress his impulse.bear it!Not just one year!Mel comforted himself very much with Ah Q.

Soon after, the first Quidditch match of the term began.This time Mel was even more obedient and mixed in the crowd to watch the game.

So, Mel saw the thrilling scene of Harry being chased by the Bludger controlled by Dobby, and also heard about his bad luck that Professor Lockhart had his bones disappeared.

That night, Colin Creevey was petrified, the school panicked and rumors abounded.

At this time, the vain Professor Lockhart also started a dueling club.

"Mel, what's wrong with you this year, you won't miss such fun things like this, and you won't go to the Forbidden Forest this year!"

After failing to invite Mel to go together just now, the twins asked out their confusion.

Mel was also very embarrassed about this, and didn't know how to answer, so he had to dismiss them arrogantly: "I'm really not interested in duels or anything. As for not going to the Forbidden Forest, it's because my magic power can't be recovered until now, and I don't want to continue practicing." Already!"

Mel swears to God, that really was an excuse she threw off!

But looking at the twins' embarrassing and sympathetic eyes, Mel felt that they might have misunderstood.When she tried to explain this, the twins ran away in a panic.

Mel shook her head helplessly, she never felt inferior because she couldn't cast magic normally!

The duel incident was just as Mel remembered, Harry spoke Parseltongue in the duel, and now everyone believes that this series of petrification incidents were all done by Harry.

Everyone sees Harry as a monster, a sentiment that culminates when Justin and Nick the Ghost are petrified.

Fortunately, Christmas is here, and based on the fact that Harry Potter will spend Christmas at Hogwarts, his alumni scrambled to jump on the train back to London, including Mel.

"Mel, this is a very evil power. I said that as long as you follow Harry Potter closely, you can give me more clues and I can crack it faster." At the dining table in Heinburg, the Dark Lord Very dissatisfied with Mel's negative slowdown in the first half of the year.

For the Dark Lord's sensitivity, Mel felt a little headache, "I think so too, but Harry and I are in different grades and different colleges, so I can't keep an eye on him 24 hours a day! In these situations, I was in school and When you called, I told you everything!"

"However, there are too few clues. It would be nice if I could go to Hogwarts."

"If you want wizards all over the world to hunt you down, go!" Mel was afraid that he would run to Hogwarts in a hurry, so he quickly added, "I will find more clues for you when I go back! "

Seeing the Dark Lord nodding his head, Mel was quietly relieved!

The author has something to say: Khan, I finally caught up, and I almost broke my promise! !Occasionally, there are so many overlords!Come out and take a bubble!Breathing fresh air is good for your health!
