HP Dawn Night

Now, Pansy is my only ally—not just in Slytherin, but in Hogwarts as a whole.

Although Draco and I haven't explicitly explained or negotiated further about our relationship, the rumors never end with the parties' silence.I know everyone at school has been talking about gossip about Slytherin prefects lately, after all everyone can see how rigid and fragile my relationship with Draco is right now: almost on the brink of collapse.

We tacitly avoided each other, stopped walking together, and didn't even communicate at all except what was necessary.As I walked down the corridors, people looked at me with palpable inquiry and curiosity.I know they must be wondering what brought this pair of childhood sweethearts into a cold war. Most people seem to think that Greenglass played a lot in it, but some people must also think of the intricate interpersonal and family connections.

I mean, my relationship with Draco was never pure.This is a sad truth.And it was only now that I finally understood what it meant.How sad.

The dreamy Slytherin quartet showed a faint tendency to disintegrate.Pansy sided with me without hesitation, while Blaise chose to be neutral—of course, he was still closer to Draco.I don't want to blame Blaise for not picking my side, I blame Draco for being naive more than I do.

That's right, childish.He hadn't realized until now what was at stake and the power on Potter's side.The deep-rooted hatred between Slytherin and Gryffindor blinded his eyes, or rather, he couldn't get rid of his prejudice against Potter.

Sometimes it seems to me that he is still the same boy who can't help but laugh at a prank, and I don't seem to be happy about a piece of candy anymore.

I desperately need to earn Umbridge's trust, and in order to do that I've decided to ask someone to make a small sacrifice.Lisa Dupin of Ravenclaw was my unfortunate target, and I overheard her complaining to her friend about Umbridge's behavior, which I then recounted to Umbridge.A few days later Umbridge called me into her office, and she poured me a very nasty cup of tea: "Miss Snape, I really appreciate your frankness with me. But there doesn't seem to be enough evidence to prove that Du Miss Ping has any misconduct."

It was an open secret that Umbridge spied on the school's correspondence, and she must have said this because she hadn't found anything useful in Dupin's letters.

I thought for a moment: "If you trust me, I think I have a way."

"What?" There was some eagerness on Umbridge's face.

"Veritaserum," I said slowly.

Umbridge's expression flickered, and she cleared her throat solemnly: "I think it would be immoral to use Veritaserum indiscriminately."

"But it's not illegal." I read her mind immediately. "There's no clause against using Veritaserum to obtain legitimate information, is there?"

"I'm not sure that Professor Snape will help me." Umbridge snorted softly.I smiled. "Of course my father would be happy to serve the senior prosecutor—oh no—the headmaster."

My address seemed to please Umbridge, and her slack face lost her vigilance: "I will continue to investigate, Miss Snape, thank you for your cooperation."

A few days later, I heard that Lisa Dupin had been called to Umbridge's office.The Ravenclaw students said she came back crying and refused to say a word.

In front of Veritaserum, anyone will succumb, and anyone will willingly reveal all the secrets in their hearts.I don't know what Umbridge asked, but it should be quite serious from the follow-up point of view.It was so serious that Du Ping would choose not to mention it. In fact, she was almost frightened.

Of course, when Du Ping was punished, I naturally became a great contributor.Umbridge has completely trusted me now, and she even offered to hand over the task of checking the letters to me—maybe there is something to please my father—I agreed after pretending to decline, and offered to add two more helper.

"Is that Miss Parkinson?" Umbridge asked.

"No, I have two better options: Millicent Burst in Slytherin and Zacharias Smith in Hufflepuff." I explained, "As far as I know, Burst Miss is quite trustworthy, and Mr. Smith has been diligent and diligent." Of course, this is a false reason, and Zacharias Smith and Potter are not compatible, which can reassure Umbridge.As for Millicent, she is an out-and-out pureblood. More importantly, if I decide to deal with the Greengrass sisters in the future, Millicent will definitely provide a lot of help.

"You are very thoughtful, Miss Snape." Umbridge said casually, "I will think about it."

Not only would Umbridge consider it, I couldn't even think of a reason to say no.

"Did you know Violet, Dupin has been walking around seeing me for the past two days." Brest deliberately came to tell me the news.

"Isn't that great. At least she now knows how to keep her mouth shut." I brushed it off.

Blaise looked at me. "You think so?"

"That's right." I pointed to the owl tower in the distance, "Now everyone knows that Slytherin controls all the information in Hogwarts, isn't that a good thing? At least they finally realized There is more power than lip service and pranks."

"Well... I didn't mean to mention it, but from what you said, it seems that you still blame Draco?" Blaise asked cautiously.

"Complaining? No," I replied, "Brace, Malfoy is not part of my plans right now, but I'm not going to allow him to stand in my way either. It's obviously best to keep the status quo, and I don't want Slytherins will fight among themselves - and I'm confident I can win if I have to."

"Don't you think you're a little—overly proud?" Blaise looked away, "I don't know what kind of plan you have, and you refused to reveal it. But most of the time, you don't need to rush to choose a team."

"It's your style to play it safe, Blaise. My family meant that I couldn't stand in the middle, so I chose to pick up the helmet before the blade fell." I shook my head, "You ask me about the plan, and I can tell you Partly. Right now I'm still concentrating on securing my place in front of Umbridge, but after I've dealt with Umbridge and Potter and a series of things, I'll start dealing with the people in Slytherin next. "

"Greengrass?" he asked sensitively.

"Everyone who doesn't obey me." I replied coldly, and Blaise's eyes widened in an instant, "Don't look at me like that, ambitious, unscrupulous, and power-seeking, isn't that what Slytherin is like? What's more, if we want to unify the outside world, we must first eradicate dissidents."

He gave me a deep look: "The return of the Dark Lord has changed you."

"Oh?"

"You're becoming... more and more like Professor Snape," said Blaise, "even more ruthless than him."

I shrugged. "I guess I've always been like this. It's just that the situation has activated a dark side in my soul."

"But you know I'll be neutral."

"You won't always be neutral, Blaise. Sooner or later you'll pick your side too. But right now, being neutral isn't necessarily a bad thing," I said.

Blaise paused: "Maybe—Violet, I'm not like you, I'm more selfish, and I'm afraid of loss and bloodshed."

I couldn't help but chuckle slightly: "Brace, when you start wanting to protect something or someone, you'll understand how I feel."

Blaise didn't speak.Ten seconds later, he seemed to be about to turn around, but before he left, I couldn't help calling out to him: "As far as you know, have Greengrass and Malfoy gotten close recently?"

I regretted it as soon as I said it, Blaise really cast a probing look at me, and before he spoke, I quickly added: "After all, Greengrass' friends are my potential enemies."

Blaise seemed to sigh, he seemed helpless: "Why can't you admit that you still care about Draco, Violet? Draco—"

"Because I don't." I firmly denied, "I don't care about his recent situation, you just need to give me the answer."

Obviously, Blaise was not deceived by my words at all, he looked at me for a while: "That's right, Astoria often comes to Draco recently."

The author has something to say:

return!

Found a bug, so I modified the plot
