HP Midnight Light

"I'll go find Rhaegu." After the training of the Slytherin Quidditch team, Olivia left the stands and ran away in a hurry.

"Do you think she's still angry?" Cornelia turned her head.

"No." Hyacinth replied ambiguously, "She and Regulus also need some private space."

"That's right." She didn't think too much, "Can you accompany me to the Forbidden Forest?"

"it is good."

At this time, the rest of the Slytherins were already walking towards the castle in groups of threes and twos, and no one noticed the two of them leaving quietly.

But Cornelia didn't stop at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, but walked in directly.

Hyacinth looked up at the dark dense forest:

"Where are you going?"

"Don't be afraid, come with me." Cornelia called back to her, "There is a small open space ahead for senior students to teach protection of magical animals, let's go over there and have a look."

Hyacinth felt that Cornelia's purpose was not just for a walk, and after a moment's hesitation, she chased after her.By this time Cornelia had bent down and picked up a fist-sized rock.

"What are you doing?"

"Hush." ​​Cornelia pointed her wand at the stone with her eyes closed, muttering a series of incantations in her mouth, she opened her eyes expectantly after a while, but the stone remained unchanged, "Ah—— "She threw it away with some annoyance, "Damn it!"

"what happened?"

"I want to show you a spell I recently learned." Cornelia said while staring at Hyacinth. "If it works, the stone will become soft and kneadable, but..."

"Where did you learn that?" Hyacinth asked.

She blinked, smiled and turned her back: "You know."

"The booklet?" Hyacinth asked.

Cornelia didn't deny it, she tossed her wand over and over again, wandering aimlessly in the glade.After a long time, she didn't wait for Hyacinth's next words, Cornelia turned around and said, "Do you have anything to ask me?"

Hyacinth shrugged: "Maybe we should go back to the castle." The sky would soon be dark, and the wind would blow the leaves and shrubs, and Hyacinth suddenly became a little nervous.

"Don't worry." Cornelia stopped her. "I want to ask you something—" She stopped suddenly.

Hyacinth raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

"Damn!" Cornelia cried suddenly, as a red light passed over Hyacinth and hit a bush behind them. "Pull out your wand, there's someone!" Pushing aside and yelling at her, he stepped forward quickly, "Tongtong Shi—ah!"

She screamed, and Cornelia was almost kicked when a tall stag suddenly jumped out of the bushes and neighed and lifted its front hooves without warning: "Stop it, Hyacinth! "

"Quickly imprisoned!"

After the stag ran away for a certain distance, it suddenly turned around and rushed towards them again. The rope that Hyacinth conjured up tripped it, but that seemed to enrage the stag completely, and it jumped past Hyacinth and headed straight towards them. Cornelia, who chanted the spell for the second time, rushed to—

"Quick ban..."

"Careful!" cried Hyacinth, "passing out—"

A red light burst out from another bush and knocked Hyacinth's wand into the air. At the same time, Cornelia rolled to avoid the attack. The stag shook its antlers menacingly and turned towards Run deeper into the dense forest.

"I'll go after it!" Cornelia yelled furiously, regardless of Hyacinth's protest, "You wait here for me."

"Leah!"

But she had already run away after the stag's footsteps.

Hyacinth stood up and patted the grass clippings stuck to her robe, walked to the edge of the bushes and reached for the wand that fell inside. When she got the wand, she touched something beside it at the same time.

"Luminescence." Hyacinth brought her wand closer to the bush, and through the branches and leaves she saw a piece of parchment lying on the ground.

parchment?

Suspiciously, she reached into the bushes a second time and took it out. It was an ordinary piece of parchment, but there was a gray, bald mouse hanging from the end of the parchment.

The mouse's eyeballs rolled around, and it just stared at her impartially, and Hyacinth's goose bumps all over her body, and before she had time to throw it away, the mouse seemed to see through her fear, He nimbly climbed up one step and bit her finger bit by bit.

"Ah!" Hyacinth yelled and shook it vigorously, and suddenly let go of her hand. The mouse and a small corner of the parchment did not know where it went.

"Hyase!"

"Leah?" Hyacinth stuffed the parchment into her pocket casually, and Cornelia walked from the end of the narrow path with a livid face, "Are you injured?"

"I don't know what knocked me down from behind." Cornelia's forehead was still stained with blood.

"Seriously?" Hyacinth handed her the handkerchief. "We'd better go to the infirmary—"

"Are you crazy?" Cornelia hissed and gasped, and wiped the dried blood from the edge of the wound with a handkerchief. "What if we let others know that we trespassed in the forbidden forest? Let's go back to the dormitory." She was annoyed Said, "I'll deal with it myself with white fresh."

"Did you catch the deer?"

"No." Cornelia gritted her teeth and said, "There must be something famous in this forest!"

A few days later, at midnight, both Hyacinth and Olivia fell into a dreamless sleep.After hearing their even breathing, Cornelia called them several times, but got no response.

She got up quietly, put on the robe that had been placed at the end of the bed, picked up her wand and walked out of the bedroom.

Meanwhile, Signus and another guy are already sitting in the Room of Requirement, having a good time.

"It's so late, what new tricks do you want to play?" The man lazily looked at the Room of Requirement, which has now become a gorgeous reception room, "If you don't mind, I want to go back to sleep as soon as possible."

Signus smiled and poured the man a cup of coffee himself: "You'll know right away."

While talking, the door of the Room of Requirement was pushed open.Regulus and Cornelia walked in one after another.The former was very calm, but Cornelia looked straight at Signus with a hint of provocation: "I have to say I'm a little disappointed, after all, I thought you had some distinguished guest here."

Edmund Parkinson put down his glass and smiled: "Cornelia Rozier...a rising star...Signus, are you sure?"

"You know who her father is, Edmund," Signus reminded.

"Oh..." Edmund elongated the ending meaningfully.

"However, this does not mean that I will live under the glory of my father's generation." Cornelia said pointedly, "On the contrary, it is you. When will you show your attitude?"

"Don't be too aggressive, Leah!" Signus chuckled, "Edmund is still hesitating!"

"Really?" Cornelia blinked her eyes and said nothing.

"Regu," Signus coughed and changed the topic, "I heard that you are very interested in black magic recently. Then..." He pushed over a tightly wrapped book, "Maybe you will be interested in this .”

Regulus didn't answer: "Maybe not now."

"What happened?" Signus asked.

Before Regulus could answer, Cornelia laughed first: "Oli. She would fight with me and Regulus over these things."

"No wonder I see you guys are a little strange recently." Signus withdrew his hand calmly, "What do you think, Regu?"

"I promised Ollie not to touch these before the OWLs exam." Regulus replied, "But my mind hasn't changed."

"Ollie, Ollie," Signus shook his head, "she doesn't understand how great our cause is."

"She will understand," Regulus said. "I will convince her and prove it to her."

"Okay." Signus didn't pursue the question too much, "I asked you to come here because I wanted to give you this book, since that's the case... let's wait a while."

Regulus nodded slightly, and after he left the Room of Requirement, Edmund looked at the expressions of the other two before saying, "It seems that your sister doesn't support us very much, does she?"

"She's not very sensible yet." Signus replied lightly, "Look, Cornelia, Edmund always sees everything clearly, wouldn't it be so if the Dark Lord didn't have such a person it is a pity?"

Edmund maintained a lazy smile and did not answer.

"All in all, I invited you here today for another matter." Signus cleared his throat, "I plan to set up a formal Slytherin black arts activity group, I wonder if you are interested in joining?"

Cornelia glanced in the direction of the door: "Then Regulus..."

"I'm sure he'd like to join, but with Ollie's attitude, I'd better not bring it up to him right now, no?"

He does have a point.Cornelia nodded happily after thinking for a moment: "Of course I will join."

"Great." Signus showed a relaxed smile, "So are you interested in discussing with us how to develop the future of this group?"

Cornelia smiled slightly: "Forget it, this is something you two should decide. I'll take my leave first."

She made up her mind, and after saying this, she turned and left.

"She's not easy to deal with," Edmund commented.

"Indeed." Signus admitted, the smile no longer on his face, "but I need her help."
