Chapter 43 Conflict

Early the next morning, Rong Jiu appeared at Slattery's dining table with two huge dark circles under her eyes. Her hair was disheveled and her face was ashen. She seemed to have crawled out of a grave, and she was in a daze with a fried stick in her mouth , attracting the attention of many people.

"Merlin, what's going on with you?" Draco was taken aback, "What are you doing? How long did it take you to get up? What are you doing with this look?"

Pan Xi raised his forehead: "You ran here in a daze so early in the morning when you didn't see anyone?"

Rong Jiu raised her head like a ghost, with a weak smile: "No, I went to the kitchen for a while."

"Yo, so scared?" Lila sneered, "Why, are you afraid that the professor will tear you apart?"

Rong Jiu turned his head slowly, his eyes were empty and indifferent, looking straight at Lila.

"You, what are you looking at? You, you, you, I also want to say something." Lila was so scared by this look, she began to stutter, "You, the professor treats you so well, you How disappointed are you that your Boggart became him?"

Rong Jiu still maintained that creepy expression, not only Lila, but everyone around him moved back involuntarily, and then Rong Jiu grinned and made a smile-like expression: "Oh."

Then slowly retracted his gaze, staring at the food in front of him in a daze.

"Are you really all right?" Pansy asked worriedly. "You don't look well."

"It's not just bad, it's really bad." Draco sneered, "Did you really stay up all night because of those boring questions last night?"

"Draco!" Pansy yelled reproachfully.

Draco snorted disdainfully, then said, "I said, what's the trouble with you? There's no shame in liking him. If you don't like him, then what's the point of making yourself look like this ?”

"Who do you like?" Theodore caught the word as soon as he sat down, looked over curiously, and then saw Rong Jiu with a decadent face, and was startled, "Wow, Cassie, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Rong Jiu seemed to have regained some energy at last.At least, she started to allocate part of her brain to deal with daily life, "It's just that I didn't sleep well."

Turning to Draco: "You are right, thank you."

Draco lazily waved the fritters on his hand as a response.

"Casey has someone he likes?" Theodore asked Draco's words before him.

Rong Jiu shrugged: "Who knows? It's not important."

While talking, a flock of owls flew in from overhead.As usual, one landed next to Draco, and that was Narcissa's Andrea.But today, one fell down with it in a pair and stood on Rong Jiu's shoulder.

It was Bertha of Lucius.

Ignoring Draco's puzzled eyes, Rong Jiu raised her hand, took a piece of paper from its paw, skimmed through it quickly, and then got into a ball and said something, suddenly a flame burst out from her palm , In just two or three seconds, the note was completely burned, leaving no ashes.

Without waiting for other people to ask questions, she stood up neatly: "I have to leave first, you eat first."

After taking two steps, he turned around suddenly: "Oh, by the way, Draco, have you told anyone else about my pendant?"

Draco was a little dazed, but still replied, "No."

Rong Jiu paused, then said with a smile, "That's it, I know."

Then turned and walked out of the hall.

"Hey, Draco, what pendant?" Pansy asked curiously.

"Oh, the one she took down for the professor." Draco replied casually, "Well...it's quite expensive."

"Expensive?" Pansy slowed down her eating, "It doesn't look like much?"

Draco glanced at Pansy: "That thing is thousands of years old."

Pansy's hand shook.

"Oh my God, it's not only expensive, but she simply hangs it on her body, and then she doesn't even want it to hide from the professor?" Pansy grabbed Draco's arm, "Is she so rich?"

Draco shrugged and continued to stuff his mouth, then suddenly slowed down.

"Hey, Draco, what's wrong with you?" Pansy asked keenly, noticing Draco's movements.

Draco's gray eyes narrowed.Then, he stood up and said, "I have something to do, so let's go first." Then he strode out of the auditorium.

"Hey! Draco!" Pansy yelled several times from behind, seeing that he didn't respond, she turned back depressedly, "What's wrong with the two brothers and sisters? One and two seem to have been greatly stimulated."

The elder brother of the two Malfoy brothers and sisters, who was greatly stimulated, managed to catch her sister before she reached the common room, dragged her into the basement classroom by the wrist, slammed the door, turned his head, and asked viciously: "Is he How did you know about your amulet?"

"I don't know..." Rong Jiu's condition seemed to be getting worse, "I didn't tell him. I thought it was Uncle Lucius who said it, so I wrote a letter for Fitz to deliver it before dawn today. , He sent a reply letter just now, saying that he never told the professor."

"If you'd told him that, you wouldn't have asked me that question." Draco gave her a blank look, "You have no idea at all?"

"No." Rong Jiu lied on the table and replied weakly, "Maybe it's telepathy?"

Draco raised his eyebrows: "Telepathy, you admit that you like him?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I just said it casually." Rong Jiu pouted, "Maybe he can read minds."

Draco glanced at her disdainfully: "You're talking like a Muggle, it's obviously not mud... Wait," his face suddenly became serious, "You're right, it might really be Mind reading."

"Are you serious?" Rong Jiu looked in disbelief, and even raised his hand to check the temperature of his forehead, "You don't have a fever, do you?"

Draco grabbed her hand and said, "Come with me."

The footsteps of the two gradually faded away, and the basement classroom became quiet again.

Then, there was a low sigh.

Someone came out of the preparation room with complicated eyes and an indifferent expression.

The man expertly fumbled for a quill and ink from a corner of the table, pulled a piece of paper at random, scribbled something, and put everything back in place.

Ten minutes later, a pure black owl jumped up from Hogwarts, fluttered into the sky, and quickly turned into a black spot that could not be seen clearly.

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

"... Legilimency is an extremely advanced technique, a branch of witchcraft, which refers to the ability of a person to obtain emotions and memories from another person's mind, the effect and the emotions, Thoughts and so on, direct eye contact is also a crucial step..."

Draco read it to Rong Jiu word by word, and the expressions of the two became worse and worse, one was ferocious, the other was defeated, the only similarity was the clenched fist.As the sound of his last words filled the air, both men slammed their fists hard on the table simultaneously with a loud bang.

"I'm going to find him." Regardless of the surprised or dissatisfied eyes around him, Draco said, "Come with me." After speaking, he grabbed Rong Jiu's wrist for the third time, regardless of the fact that it had been pinched blue by him, and he Step out of the library.

"You two, what are you doing!" The eyes of the surrounding students were attracted, not to mention Mrs. Pince, the little guard of the library. She waved a feather duster and walked over angrily, "I want to tell Professor Snape ! That's right! Five points from Slytherin!"

"Hey, what's your business? Stupid woman." Draco yelled back impatiently without looking back.

Even though they were far away, they could still hear yelling from Mrs. Pince, accusing them of being ill-bred and threatening to tell Snape something like that.

"Tell him? I'm on my way to find him!" Draco snorted, "How dare he treat the Malfoys like this..."

"Forget it, Draco." Rong Jiu suddenly felt very boring.Doesn't she know Legilimency?Obviously not, I just kept avoiding thinking about it until I was exposed by Draco, so I was so angry... No, I did that kind of angry behavior, but I didn't feel that way in my heart feel.

She grabbed Draco and said listlessly: "Uncle Lucius's potion business has a lot to do with him. If you make a fuss, Uncle Lucius will be very embarrassed."

Draco stopped suddenly, Rong Jiu didn't stop, and bumped into his back firmly, tears fell down, and he covered his nose: "Ouch!"

"For such a big person, can't you walk carefully?" Draco said disgustedly, rubbing his sleeve on her face indiscriminately, "Okay, why are you so fragile recently, before you made trouble with him every day I've never seen you shed tears even when you were so blue and purple."

"At least he didn't hit me on the nose!" Rong Jiu roared.What does this have to do with fragility?The human body is set like this, is it her fault?If you are capable, let me try to punch my nose?

"Hey you..." Draco opened his mouth again and again, but he couldn't make a sound.Rong Jiu triumphantly put the wands back into her robes - two: "Hey, keep talking, I'm listening!"

"!!! (Untie it quickly! Damn girl! See if I don't deal with you!)" Draco's hair was also full of anger, and he tried to grab the wand back from Rong Jiu with all his hands and feet, but was easily Dodged, and also received a mocking smile: "You can get it if you have the ability!"

While the two were fighting, suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the other end of the corridor, and then they stopped there.

Rong Jiu's ears have always been good, even when he was fighting, he couldn't help turning his head away, but it didn't matter, he couldn't help but stop his movements.But Draco didn't hear it, and reached into her arms, trying to grab his wand back.

"You are..." Lupine looked at the two little guys in front of him in surprise, one of them touched the other in a straight line, his eyes widened involuntarily, and he took a long breath.Beside him, Professor Snape looked at the two students indifferently, frowning, but did not speak.

"No, professor, that's how it happened!" Rong Jiu came back to his senses, snapped open Draco's hand, and slipped the wand back into his hand, "We're just practicing the Silencing Curse!"

Draco stood up straight reflexively, nodding wildly in agreement.However, he soon realized that the person in front of him was the one he had just called to settle accounts. His expression twisted for a moment, and Lupine let out another long gasp: "...you still have to pay attention to the occasion when you do things."

"Professor, we are really just..." Rong Jiu was about to explain subconsciously, when she met Snape's indifferent eyes, which seemed to be somewhat disgusted, she suddenly lost her voice as if her neck was stuck.

Lowering his head, he said, "I'm sorry, Professor, we shouldn't be fighting in the corridor, and we will pay attention next time."

Then, turn around and run.

Behind her, Draco held his wand, pointed at his throat, opened his mouth for a long time, and found out in despair: he is not Rong Jiu, he can't spell silently.Even if he was given a wand at this moment, he couldn't break the spell himself.

Then he gave Snape a hard look, turned around and went after Rong Jiu.

"Severus, don't be so stern," Lupine said briskly, "You made that little girl cry."

"She has a lot of guts." Snape squeezed out the words from the corner of his mouth, and without looking at Lupine, he strode towards the office.
