Chapter 68 Countdown

"Of course she wasn't helping Potter," Narcissa wrote. "Flowerling, father Lin Ming, studied in Slytherin, mother Phoenix Lycia, studied in Ravenclaw. Seems normal, doesn't it? But it’s interesting to go further: Lin Ming’s mother is Margaret Crabbe, and Lycia’s mother’s full name is Ruona Goyle. Crabbe and Goyle were loyal families around the Dark Lord back then. Until now, this The two women are still locked up in Azkaban."

"But Professor Black... um, he's still Harry's godfather." Rong Jiu handed the letter to Snape, and then offered his opinion.

"Tch, Blake." Snape said disdainfully, "It can't be compared, Lin has a bit of a brain."

Rong Jiu was silent.She also has some understanding of the past grievances between Professor Snape and Professor Black, but it is only limited to understanding.However, according to the little sister of the Greengrass family, Professor Black’s class is very interesting and very popular with them. In contrast, the senior class is very miserable-their Professor Moody is quite like Professor Snape , extremely partial to Gryffindor, and many Slytherins have suffered from him.

"It's okay." Astoria comforted her sister in this way, "Professor Moody only teaches four grades, but our dean takes all the potions classes. We have earned money."

A flame ignited on the desk.Snape would not keep this kind of thing for others to catch, of course it would be ruined.Seeing that Rong Jiu was still a little confused, he shook his head: "Haven't figured it out yet?"

"One thing." Rong Jiu admitted, "Even if she is on the side of the Dark Lord, why would she steal the cheek grass? Does she think it will make Harry drown in it?"

Snape raised his eyebrows: "Looks like brainlessness is a part of the Black family?"

Rong Jiu puffed up her cheeks and looked at him depressedly.

"Potter didn't enter the competition voluntarily." Snape turned his gaze away and nodded her lightly.

"Because the Triwizard Tournament is very dangerous?" Rong Jiu guessed, "Could it be that she tampered with the cheek grass? Did she think that if Harry didn't give the cheek grass, Harry would die because he couldn't find a way?" Go into the water? But if you give it, Harry will definitely go into the water, and there are many dangers in the water..."

Snape snorted: "The Sorting Hat should have sorted you into Gryffindor, I believe you can live happily in it."

He also no longer expected Rong Jiu's simple brain to think of anything meaningful, but said directly: "The Dark Lord is an extremely arrogant and conceited person, he will not allow Potter to die in the hands of others, no one Death Eaters would be foolish enough to kill Potter to please him, because he would be the next to die, so Potter's presence in the Triwizard Tournament list was never meant to kill him here. Since it's not about killing him, there is only one possibility for putting his name into the Goblet of Fire after taking so much trouble, and that is to ask him to go to the end. In the last link, they will play certain tricks."

"Uh...meaning that his men knocked Harry to his last breath and then he himself made the final cut?"

Snape took a deep breath.He felt that his temper was getting better and better recently, and when he met such a stupid student, he could still continue to talk to her calmly.

"The Dark Lord will defeat him himself, proving that his failure was just an accident, and he is still unstoppable." Snape gritted his teeth, "but he must first be resurrected and become a 'human'. He Potter needs to witness his resurrection, and even, he will use Potter to resurrect himself."

"Oh, oh, that's it!" Rong Jiu exclaimed, "Professor, you are amazing! You can even guess it like this!"

Snape finally couldn't bear it any longer: "Since your IQ is irreparable, then work harder on your combat power. Now, pick up your wand!"

Rong Jiu had a sad face.How about a 10-minute break?It's only been less than 5 minutes now!

I am a salted fish who can only shout 666, why should I be wronged like this?

Once there is a goal, time seems tight.Snape thought that there was a high possibility that the Dark Lord would return on the final day of the Triwizard Tournament, almost forcing Rong Jiu to perfect her Occlumency and its upgraded version.Anyway, during this period of time, he understood all of Rong Jiu’s past clearly, including when she was five years old and the neighbor’s boy jumped into the ditch to face each other and wondered why her body structure was different, and when she was six years old, she did not dare to speak loudly when she wet the bed Shengdi slept on wet sheets for several days, seven-year-old deliberately wiped his nose on the clothes on the front table... and so on.Under such severe stimulation, Rong Jiu finally mastered the essentials of Occlumency on the day before the final, and successfully tampered with part of her own memory, even Snape couldn't see the flaw.

It's a strange feeling - if you don't try to think about it, what's going on in your head is a doctored memory.If the mind is not firm, it may be driven mad by two kinds of memory.

In such a tight rhythm, the finals finally came as scheduled.According to Professor Snape, Dumbledore strictly checked all possible accidents, and all possible problematic items were replaced, which caused a lot of trouble for the logistics staff.

"But why didn't Professor Dumbledore go find the place where the Dark Lord might be hiding?" Rong Jiu expressed his puzzlement, "Wouldn't it be best to solve the problem directly from the root cause?"

A sneer curled up at the corner of Snape's mouth: "It's fine if he doesn't let the Dark Lord come back."

You don't need to look at Rong Jiu, but you know that she must be stupefied at the moment.So Snape didn't try to find anger for himself at all, fixed his eyes firmly on other places, and said coldly: "If the Dark Lord can't come back, then he can never be truly defeated. Dumbledore can't wait for him to come back, Then completely eliminate this hidden danger. Now that Potter is such a perfect bait, how could he give up?"

With this conversation, when Rong Jiu sat in the auditorium, he didn't have the mind to pay attention to the game at all.The badges on the chests of the Slytherins were shining brightly and very neatly — Rong Jiu had to obey the formation once due to Draco’s soft-heartedness, which had other meanings in the eyes of those who cared — Alternately flashing "Support Cedric Diggory—the true warrior of Hogwarts!" and "Potter stinks!", which can be regarded as a scene in the audience.

Fleur Delacour and Viktor Krum fell in the middle one after another. Hogwarts had already started celebrating early, but only Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin were really cheering. On the same front again, the unanimous prayer champion would be Cedric Diggory.

A burst of cheers came back from the front row.Words such as "Potter got the trophy!" could be vaguely heard, but soon, these cheers turned into exclamations and screams.

"What's wrong?" Draco jumped up and down nervously, "Is there a fight? Someone doesn't like Potter, show him some color?"

"It's not like." Rong Jiu narrowed his eyes and tried to look in the middle.Someone seemed to be lying next to Harry, and someone else knelt and cried in front of that person...

"Could it be..." Rong Jiu gasped.

Soon, a scream confirmed her guess: "He's dead! Cedric Diggory is dead!"

Draco took a step back in horror, stepped on Pansy's toes, sat down on the ground amid the latter's screams, and repeated blankly: "Is he dead? Potter... Potter killed him? "

"Digory's father didn't act too aggressively, maybe he encountered an accident." Rong Jiu said calmly, "Let's go back to the dormitory first, such a big thing happened...Pan Xi, hold Draco a little. "

The Slytherins quietly followed Rong Jiu's suggestion.Perhaps, some of them have already guessed what's going on, but at least on the surface, they are all at a loss.As soon as they entered the common room, they scattered back to their respective dormitories, and no one said a word.

After a while, while Pan Xi was taking a bath in the inner room, Rong Jiu walked out lightly.Walking out of the dormitory, passing through the common room, and just about to open the door, a voice sounded faintly behind her: "Do you have to do this?"

Rong Jiu couldn't be more familiar with this voice.She turned her head, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Yes."

It was Draco, lazily leaning on the back of the sofa, as if the previous hesitation and trembling were all hallucinations of others.He is different from usual, very gentle and peaceful: "For the so-called family and love, are you willing to bear so much? They don't even really belong to you."

Obviously, he also learned a lot of information from Lucius and Narcissa.The couple, who had been closely protecting him, decided to let go and let the son make his own way.

"There is nothing that people don't need to fight for." Rong Jiu smiled, "Since I can leave my hometown for my family, I can also go through the wind and rain for the people who are here to give me warmth."

"That doesn't sound fair." Draco laughed, "Temporary separation and death on all sides, you're equating them."

Rong Jiu lowered her eyes: "They are equal, and they both mean an unknown fate."

Draco froze for a moment, then shook his head with a smile: "You always seem very reasonable."

"That's because the truth is on my side." Rong Jiu rolled his eyes at him.

Both of them fell into silence.

For a long time, Draco was the first to break the atmosphere.He took two steps forward, opened his arms, and gave Rong Jiu a warm hug: "Good luck, Jiu."

"Thank you." Rong Jiu replied softly.

When she walked into the Potions Office, Snape was already waiting there, his face serious.

"He's back," Snape said softly.

Rong Jiu replied in the same tone: "Yes, you are always right."

Snape looked at her seriously, as if he had never seen her before.

"Let's go," he said.
