"Is she okay?"

"Looks like just passed out."

"It suddenly fell like that just now..."

It's so noisy... Rong Jiu complained in his heart, while trying to open his eyes, his gradually clear vision included the snow-white ceiling and the blue and white striped curtains.

Where is this again?

Before she could recover, a head of short blond hair came into her sight, accompanied by a cheer: "You're awake!"

"En..." Rong Jiu rubbed his eyes, "Where is this? Oh, the infirmary? Why am I here?"

"We've just come out of the Chamber of Secrets," Harry replied, "and you startled us by suddenly passing out."

"Oh, don't mention that damn secret room." Draco looked annoyed, "I really don't know why we were called there, and Jiu was so frightened and passed out. It's really inexplicable."

"What about... the basilisk?" Rong Jiu struggled to sit up, and Draco thoughtfully stuffed a pillow under her, complaining, "Forget it, I didn't even see the shadow, that old... Dumbledore said that the basilisk might not appear until it was summoned, but Harry stood there and tried many words without success. If you want me to say, you fainted, why should you be sent out first? Hmph, if Professor Snape hadn't suggested it, I think we'd still be trying there now."

Rong Jiu said with a smile: "I don't know who opened the secret room yet, it's best to solve it once it's unprepared. Besides, it's dangerous to go back alone. Who can guarantee that you won't encounter a basilisk on the way back?"

Harry glanced at Rong Jiu gratefully. It seems that Draco complained a lot along the way: "It's great that you woke up. I'll tell Professor Dumbledore." Infirmary.

"...what did you do to Harry?"

Draco blushed, snorted, and didn't answer.

It seems that before he woke up, Harry was often complained by Draco.Apart from being funny, Rong Jiu was also secretly moved.

However, this emotion was broken within three seconds: "Professor Snape carried you back, and then went to his office. I guess you will have a potion prepared by the professor himself to drink later."

Rong Jiu tried to ignore the schadenfreude on Draco's face: "Actually, I'm fine..."

"Then how did you faint?" Draco interrupted her disapprovingly, "Being brave is not what Malfoy should have."

"I actually fainted because..."

"I remember that your body has always been weak! You fell ill in the first semester, so you missed flying lessons. You need to take care of yourself..." Draco said earnestly, trying to play the role of a good brother, but obviously he I haven't gotten used to it yet, and caring has gradually turned into nagging: from the time when Rong Jiu fell ill in the first grade to talking about a fight with Harry some time ago, he thought that the basilisk should be released to kill all these people, Instead of running there with Dumbledore trying to kill the basilisk.

Rong Jiu only felt ten thousand mosquitoes buzzing around her, making her temples hurt from the noise.But fortunately, Dumbledore was soon brought over by Harry and liberated Rong Jiu who was tortured by Draco's eloquence.

"You look much better," said Dumbledore gently.

"Yes, Professor, I'm sorry for worrying you." Rong Jiu lowered her head in embarrassment, and Draco let out a cold snort.

Dumbledore examined Rong Jiu's expression, and said slowly, "Maybe, you have something to tell me?"

"Yes, Professor." Rong Jiu nodded, straightened his thoughts, and then told the truth of what he encountered in that wonderful world, without any intention of hiding.When it was over, he looked at Professor Dumbledore expectantly.

"So," Dumbledore pondered for a moment, "Slytherin said, you are not bound by the rules?"

"Yes, Professor." Rong Jiu said, "But this is what I don't understand the most. No matter where the stars are, they must operate according to the rules there. If there are no rules, there will be chaos."

"You're right, maybe..." Dumbledore's voice gradually dropped.

"Excuse me, Professor?"

Dumbledore smiled gently: "It's okay. This is just my guess, don't worry about it."

But you didn't tell me what your guess was!Rong Jiu growled in his heart.

"Then, Professor Dumbledore, what will happen to the Chamber of Secrets?"

"There is no other way but to look at the entrance." Dumbledore blinked. "If no one opens it, the students will not be harmed. Perhaps, this summer vacation, we will still need Harry's help."

"I'd love to, Professor," said Harry hastily.

--------------

Now that she knew that Rong Jiu's fainting had nothing to do with her body, she appeared at the Slytherin dining table alive and kicking the next morning.It was only because of Madam Pomfrey's insistence, otherwise she would have been discharged from the hospital last night.

Unexpectedly, Draco did not publicize his feat of entering the secret room, and Rong Jiu would not attract a lot of attention for himself. The two of them finished their breakfast calmly, and then walked to the classroom. Act like nothing happened.

Except for being watched from time to time, everything seems to be back to normal.

Eating normally, going to class normally, listening to Pan Xi share gossip normally—speaking of which, I have to mention that after Christmas, Pan Xi treats Rong Jiu better than before not only at 01:30.

"Since she is allowed to join the Malfoy family in this capacity, it means that she cannot be the wife Lucius chose for Draco, otherwise she can make a marriage contract." Mrs. Parkinson said, "It seems that Lucius Si is also preventing the two little things from developing other feelings, so he simply defined them as relatives before that."

"But why?" Pansy still couldn't figure it out, "Is it because they already have feelings..."

"Oh, honey, you should learn how to use your brain at school." Mrs. Parkinson said with reproach, "Of course, that girl is very good now, but no one knows if she will continue to be good. This is the first point. Second, even if she herself can do very well, she will suffer forever without family support—well, even if she is from the Black family, has she been recognized? Even After being admitted, Narcissa herself comes from the Black family, so what's the use of marrying another daughter of the Black family?"

"A potential stock may become a powerful wizard, but it may also be buried, and its weaknesses are obvious. If you were Lucius, would you appoint such a mistress for your family?"

"But Mom, why did you let her join the Malfoy family?"

"You still can't figure it out, dear Pansy? I almost wonder if you are my daughter. As I said, she may become a very powerful wizard in the future, so why can't you invest in this possibility? If it fails, it's just spending more money. Anyway, this time Lucius has received a lot of praise, and besides, he can marry her to a family that needs to be won; if it succeeds, that girl will be the Malfoy family. Powerful support! This is a sure-fire deal."

Mrs. Parkinson's analysis is so clear: Rong Jiu will never be with Draco, but her opinion may affect Lucius' choice.So for Pan Xi, she can finally completely let go of her wariness towards Rong Jiu, and it is necessary to be more intimate.

This is also good news for Rong Jiu, after all, for more than a year, apart from Draco, the closest person to her is Pan Xi.

Well, apart from these daily routines, there is one more thing that cannot be missed - the normal abuse by Professor Snape.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Rong Jiu was hit by the rebounding red light, flew straight out, slammed into the wall behind him hard, and then fell heavily on the ground, lying there, unable to get up for a long time.

"The armor curse can deflect the attacks of people who are not as powerful as you, I remember I said it once." Snape walked over, looked down at the struggling Rong Jiu, with a trace of sarcasm on his thin lips, "It seems that I Overestimated your brain capacity... Or, overestimated your reaction and strength?"

Rong Jiu failed to answer, a fishy sweetness flooded into her throat, and she suppressed it forcefully, resulting in a series of coughing.

"Get up." Snape took a step back in disgust.

Rong Jiu smiled wryly.I don't know what medicine Professor Snape took wrongly. Today, she was extremely ruthless. She couldn't count how many times she was thrown against the wall—at least twice as hard as before.Now, her elbows and knees were bleeding, and she had a huge bruise on her forehead, not to mention her body.But no matter how painful it was, she didn't dare to say anything, she could only grit her teeth, leaned on the wall, and stood up tremblingly.

"This world will not give you any preferential treatment." Snape said coldly, "You must be responsible for what you have done."

The professor is obviously not talking about her response this time, after all, he knows best how shameless he is this time.But what has she been doing recently?

Seeing the innocent and embarrassed Rong Jiu, a slight smile appeared on Snape's lips, but it was quickly suppressed: "That's all for today."

Rong Jiu was a little surprised: "But now... it's only a little past seven?"

"If you want to continue," Snape said without looking up, "that's fine with me."

The corner of Rong Jiu's mouth twitched.Although Professor Snape has always been so ruthless, but at least she was in the human category before, and she can still persevere.But if it continues this time, she feels that her life can be accounted for here.

I heard that Professor Snape is still unmarried. Could it be that he has too much energy recently and nowhere to vent his energy?Or frustrated in love?Or endocrine disorders?

"If you continue to defame the professor," Snape's voice came again, "then you don't have to go back today."

"No, no, thank you, professor, goodbye." Rong Jiu said very fast, and limped out of the office without looking back.

She still cherishes her little life.

Fortunately, the Slytherin lounge was not far from Professor Snape's office, otherwise she really doubted whether she would be able to make it there.Everywhere in her body screamed for pain and protested against her movements, and with the excessive mana consumption, she had to stop at the door of the lounge to rest.

It took another 2 minutes before Rong Jiu came to his senses.

"Glory." She whispered the password.

The door of the lounge opened slowly, and Rong Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.But then, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.

There are five people sitting in the lobby of the lounge.Pansy, Draco, Blaise and Theodore, it's all normal, but the only thing that's not normal is the fifth person.

Long black hair, black eyes, slender figure.

That's right, it's Rong Jiu herself!

The author has something to say:

Well, the chamber of secrets will be brushed again after this day, this time I just went to see the environment and formulate a strategy... It's a spoiler for a few people 2333
