Wild child

Although it seemed a little touched when I heard it, as a typical example of heartlessness, it is obviously difficult for Dumbledore's words to have any substantial impact on Fanny.She went her own way to a somewhat unique way of life, which has changed a bit, but it has nothing to do with Dumbledore.

At this time, the successive attacks on Muggle-born students by the heir of Slytherin have disturbed the school. Although the last attack on a student and a ghost was petrified four months ago, there are still some Muggle-born students. An atmosphere of insecurity.

Fanny didn't go for a stroll in the middle of the night anymore, and the "one-on-one" outing was in the final analysis still aroused by Malfoy's "I think you'd better just admit defeat, maybe you'll be the next one", after thinking about it later, I was still a little scared— —but she would never admit it herself.She has always advertised herself as both wise and brave, whether it is a "silly and bold person who is provoked by others" or a "coward who is timid" should never have anything to do with her.

But no matter how chaotic the world is, life is still going on, and in order to forget the panic that has passed, I have to have fun for myself.

Based on the above reasons, the enthusiasm for Quidditch tends to increase in the whole school, whether they are pure-bloods, half-bloods or Muggle-borns who are secretly worried about their lives.

One day in April, the sun was shining and the breeze was blowing, giving people a refreshing feeling.Matching the weather, the crowd eating breakfast under the enchanted ceiling of the auditorium seemed even more excited than usual.

The Gryffindors were particularly excited, and the Quidditch final of this school year was half an hour away.This match against Hufflepuff will be the most likely Gryffindor Quidditch champion in seven years, because Gryffindor has a team with the strongest comprehensive strength, and Hufflepuff The strength is not strong among the four colleges.

Like most of the students, Fanny was looking forward to today's game and was ready to cheer and scream in the stands.

While he was eating, Harry suddenly yelled, and Hermione and Ron jumped away from him in horror, and Fanny caught him, and almost sent the bacon and fork down her throat.

"That voice!" said Harry, looking over his shoulder. "I heard it again just now—did you hear it?"

Fanny looked over Hermione's shoulder, panting, with the same blank expression as Ron.

Hermione slapped her forehead fiercely, "Harry - I suddenly understand something! I'm going to the library!"

Upon hearing this, Fanny stepped back, and Hermione, who jumped up and ran upstairs, swung her elbow an inch in front of her nose.

The three who were left at the dining table looked at each other. As the three who had the deepest friendship with Hermione, none of them understood what Hermione understood.

When everyone rushed to the stadium, Harry seemed a little hesitant, but as the most important part of the team's victory, he obviously couldn't delay, and soon went out with the crowd.Almost every Gryffindor would pat him on the shoulder and say "come on" and "work hard" when he passed by. Fanny also smiled and gave him a thumbs up, and then went to the stands to find a good seat.

Hermione often jumped up and rushed to the library inexplicably. As the person who witnessed this phenomenon second only to the two boys, Fanny didn't pay much attention to it until she heard the news that she was petrified.

Gryffindor's Quidditch trophy was once again lost as the final match was simply cancelled.

A double attack occurs and Hermione and a Ravenclaw prefect are petrified in the corridor leading to the library.

In the common room that afternoon, Professor McGonagall announced the school's new security measures and the likely closure of the school.

But for Fanny, the bigger blow came the next morning.

Dumbledore was dismissed by the school trustees, and McGonagall was appointed as the former acting principal by a new candidate.According to Harry and Ron, Lucius Malfoy played a huge role in Dumbledore's departure.

The only sense of security left in the castle disappeared with Dumbledore's departure, replaced by an atmosphere of panic, and even Fanny felt the general uneasiness from the bottom of her heart.Only then did she realize that Dumbledore's existence was a firm and reassuring force to Hogwarts and to her. No matter what happened, it seemed that as long as the elder was still looking down at everyone in the middle of the teaching staff, Everything will be fine.

Because of the faint sense of impatience, Malfoy, who is getting more and more pompous, is doubly irritating in Fanny's eyes, not to mention that his father did something that made her extremely angry—the surname is Malfoy. Good luck, none of them are good things.

This annoyance turned into definite action one day after the arrival of summer.

"I knew father would drive Dumbledore away." Malfoy boasted triumphantly to two followers during a Potions class, "I tell you, he thinks Dumbledore is the worst boy the school has ever had." Headmaster. We'll probably have a decent Headmaster now, and that's someone who won't let the Chamber of Secrets close."

Fanny crunched the contents in her hands, as if she had a sworn feud with the bottle of armadillo bile.But a certain light-gold peacock was quite slow to respond to hidden crises, and in some ways never knew how to let it go.

"I'm amazed that the Mudbloods haven't packed up and gone. I'll bet you five Galleons the next one will die. Pity it's not Granger..."

Ron jumped up when he heard this, and thanks to the bell ringing, Snape didn't notice that Harry and Neville were trying to grab Ron ("Let me beat him! I don't use a wand , I'm going to beat him to death with my bare hands...") the confusion caused.And someone who was secretly proud of winning another round didn't notice the cold light in Fanny's eyes on the other side.

Potions class is followed by herbal medicine class. Fanny has always been very fond of strange plants, so this class has rarely become her top subject. She is obviously not good at theoretical knowledge, but she is influenced by Sprout in practice. The degree of the professor's favor is almost comparable to that of Hermione.

With Professor Sprout's good impression, her three-inch tongue and her ability to pretend to be pitiful, after repeatedly promising to go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom immediately, Fanny succeeded in leaving class on the grounds of going to the bathroom. Left the class with 5 minutes left.

The get out of class bell rang, and the students of Slytherin and Hufflepuff lined up to leave the classroom under the organization of McGonagall.Malfoy was listening to Pansy Parkinson chattering beside him with a polite but not alienated expression, when he turned a corner, he suddenly felt something fell into his collar, judging from the touch of his skin, it was a short piece of chalk.

Thinking about it from the back of his head, he knew that some bastard with no eyesight did it. The clean freak Malfoy was furious at someone throwing something in his collar for the nth time-he couldn't do it in this kind of public place. It was a vulgar act of reaching into the clothes, but the feeling of having such a dirty thing in the clothes made his hair stand on end, and if it fell out from under the robe while walking and was seen...

He would rather die than let the rumor of "the son of the Malfoy family is so dirty to the point of dregs" appear.

Not expressing emotion or anger is the basic skill of noble education, as long as he wants to, he can still practice it quite well.He glanced back and forth calmly, and was not surprised to see half of a light gray hairy head protruding from a corner. When he turned his head, a hand with the middle finger appeared under his head, and then retracted his head and hand. Disappeared - another vulgar act!

It was a self-explanatory code, and Malfoy swore he didn't want to heed it.It is really troublesome to sneak out of the team under the strict supervision of the teacher, and it is even more troublesome to sneak out at night, but——

You throw all the rubbish in your collar and you still don't want to fight, such a cowardly person is not worthy of being a nobleman!

Moreover, the other party has the courage to act alone under the threat of the heir of Slytherin and the intelligence to slip away under the supervision of the teacher. Not going to the appointment itself is a sign of losing for a while.The grades are not as good as the show-off know-it-all, but the self-consolation is the teacher's partiality, but this time it is irrefutable.

Losing to a little Muggle-born girl, Master Malfoy would rather die than swallow this breath.

So he perfunctory Parkinson and quietly retreated between Crabbe, Goyle, and Millicon, and after a few brief explanations, he slipped away under the cover of their shapes.

Fanny was waiting behind a tapestry on the fourth floor. She wasn't worried that she would take the risk in vain. The guy who wanted to save face would definitely show up.She wasn't worried about Filch's sudden appearance. In the morning, she offered tools and some tips to Peeves. It is estimated that Filch was trapped in the office by a flying saucer with sparks at the moment.

Sure enough, after a while, the two wings of the fire dragon erected on the tapestry separated, and a smooth light golden head appeared in her sight.

"It's a lot of guts. It seems that Gryffindors have other characteristics besides being simple-minded."

The ridicule did not receive a sharper counterattack, and Malfoy was taken aback for a moment. He noticed that Fanny's expression seemed a little different today.

"If you suddenly want to pretend to be a lady, then I suggest, with a noble sense of duty, that you remove the mud from your hair."

Fanny tilted her head, "Are you the heir of Slytherin?"

"No." Malfoy subconsciously answered honestly, having never seen a girl speak with such a serious expression.

"You wish you were, though, don't you?"

"Of course, it's a pity." Malfoy had already recovered, showing his usual arrogant and contemptuous smile, "If it was me, I would have done a better job than him, and there would be no more Mudbloods left."

"The Chamber of Secrets is always open, and all Muggle-borns die. That's what you want to see the most, isn't it?"

"Of course, you are here to complain about those mudbloods in the school hospital?" Malfoy paused, "...you are also one of those scum. Why, don't you hide well and prepare for the next one?"

"Maybe." Fanny tilted her head again, "Then what I'm going to do today is not the afternoon."

Boom.Before Malfoy had time to say anything more, Fanny stretched out her hand and grabbed his collar, and then gave him a hard knee with her hands and legs, and Malfoy curled up all of a sudden.

"Ah! You're crazy... oh!"

"Muggle-just-damn it?" Fists came down one after another, "What are you-what-something? I-today-will-let you-taste-a-muggle-lesson !"

If you want to play physical conflict, you will hit Fanny's good place. She happily punched more than ten times in a row, and Malfoy's counterattack was all stifled in the bud by her.After letting out a stern breath, she grabbed Malfoy by the collar again and lifted him up to the wall.

"What's there to be proud of, huh?" She looked straight into those gray eyes, tinged with horror and anger. "A family rich? A lot of wizards? Which toe of yours is more like a real wizard than Hermione's?" ? Where do you know more about magic than she does? You think you're superior to Muggles? After being taught a Muggle way by me?"

"Hold the wand, you can't even match a hair of Hermione; put down the wand, and I will beat you like a sandbag. Tell me, why can you stop me from beating you again now, white and tender little girl?" Lamb? With your slick hair?"

Fanny panted heavily, she didn't know why she was so angry, in fact, she had heard even the worst words.She let go of Malfoy, and she had calmed down completely when she spoke again: "You are right, maybe I will show up in the school mortuary tomorrow, so you can just treat this as the nonsense of a dying person. If If you wish, I plan to find my own death and find a way to find out the heir to hell."

"...overreaching oneself." Malfoy was panting heavily as he clutched his side, staring at Fanny.

Fanny paid no attention to him, turned around and pushed aside the tapestry, looking around as she walked out.

"...I don't care about the life and death of Mudbloods." Malfoy's voice came from behind, "I don't think people without wizard blood have the right to appear in this school."

Fanny paused for a moment, then she turned and walked towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.The class bell just rang when we arrived, and Professor Sprout was looking anxiously at the door of the classroom.

"Where have you been, Fanny?" Seeing Fanny, she breathed a sigh of relief and said slightly reproachfully, "It's been so long, I thought—"

"Sorry, Professor." Fanny smiled apologetically, she knew that Professor Sprout had been waiting for her here for more than ten minutes.

Fanny often sneaks into the greenhouse to look at the plants that she is not qualified to touch now. Professor Sprout likes this restless little girl very much, and she is very tolerant of Fanny. She calls Fanny by her name when no one else is around. .

"Okay, kid, go to your class." Professor Sprout cast another dissatisfied glance at Gilderoy Lockhart in the classroom before leaving.

Lockhart was speaking out about the fact that the gamekeeper Hagrid was taken away, confidently declaring that he knew the whole truth about the secret room incident, and assured that the culprit had been caught and that there would be no more tragedy.

Fanny didn't listen to his nonsense at all. She didn't know Hagrid well, but she knew Lockhart's nature at a glance.If it wasn't for the fact that Lockhart was Dumbledore's chosen teacher, she would have thought of him from the start as a braggart, braggart.

Defense Against the Dark Arts is currently her worst subject because she gets zero marks for all her homework.Ever since she saw the homework that was full of silly questions like "what color is Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite color?" she's pretty sure Lockhart is a slob - what a waste of Mrs. Conwell There are times when Dumbledore has something inappropriate to buy that huge and expensive book that is going to die.

Fanny scoffed at the argument of Hermione, who has always admired Lockhart, "he has done so many amazing things"—that is because a good student lacks imagination, and she can easily make up stories that are more exciting than that , I am too lazy to read a book.

She focused on Harry and Ron, saying that finding out the heir of Slytherin was just a matter of quick talk, and Fanny didn't know how to do it, so she had to find a breakthrough first.She had noticed early on that the boys had been secretive all this time, especially after Hermione's attack.She saw Ron's attempt to refute Lockhart's argument was stopped by Harry. After a while, Harry handed over a note. Ron glanced at Hermione's empty seat and nodded with determination.

The two seem to have a clue.

That night, Fanny secretly observed the two boys in an inconspicuous corner of the common room.I saw them fidgeting and looking up from time to time, so when they were almost gone, Fanny lowered her head and hid under the table.

After midnight, Jordan Lee yawned and walked up the steps to the boys' dormitory.Harry and Ron glanced at each other and headed for the portrait hole.

"Where are you going?" Fanny said slowly, rubbing her sore waist after being rickety for too long.

Harry and Ron jumped in surprise at the same time, and Ron subconsciously said, "Why are you still here?"

"This is the common room, why can't I be here?" Fanny clapped her hands together, "You haven't answered my question yet."

"None of your business!" Ron's eyes wandered, as if he wanted to find inspiration for lying from the garbage bags on the wall or on the ground, "We...we just want to... go out and get some air."

"Find the heir of Slytherin, by the way?"

Both boys froze, and then Harry woke up a little bit: "...you are hiding and staring at us on purpose."

"Smart." Fanny waved her hand, "It's easy to guess, and I'm going too."

"No!" The two said in unison, and Ron added, "Hurry up and go back to sleep."

"You can't refuse, this is Bao, Mi, Fei." Fanny said with a smile, "Or you can go, unless you think you are stronger than Crabbe Gagall. By the way, in the spell I have also been praised by Hermione in terms of usage."

The expressions of the two of them suddenly became uglier, especially Ron.In the auditorium last year, he witnessed the skinny girl in front of him pulling her legs and hooking her hands, causing Crabbe to fall headlong two rows of seats down, and then kicking Goyle into a shrimp clutching his belly.

"Why did you have to follow?" Harry asked.

"Because I find it exciting to find the heir of Slytherin, and you have clues." Fanny told the truth happily.

"This is no fun, we won't save you if it happens to you." Ron said in a threatening tone.

"It's not sure who will save who." Fanny curled her lips in disdain, "I know as much about castles as your twin brother, Ron. I will be useful to you. Now that the investigation is so strict, no one As a guide, you will meet Filch within two floors of the stairs."

"No need, we..." Ron was about to say "there is an invisibility cloak", when he remembered that this was a confidential matter and got stuck.

"If you plan to go another day, I don't mind waiting here every day. I'm also an expert when it comes to staying up late." Fanny guessed what they were going to say next, and added.

"If you get in our way, we won't let you go." Harry looked unlucky, obviously planning to give up.

"Aren't I unlucky to be caught?" Fanny shrugged, "Where are you going?"

"Forbidden Forest."

Judging by the expressions of Harry and Ron, they obviously hoped that this answer would shock Fanny and give up the idea of ​​following, so Fanny "turned pale with shock" very cooperatively, "Wow!"

Then she said to the boys who were looking at her expectantly, "That's great, I'm going to check it out!"

Harry and Ron really felt the ups and downs of mood.

"Then let's go, remember not to make a sound." Fanny got out of the portrait hole first, but the two who were left behind looked at each other, and had no choice but to keep up.
