Chapter 226: Evil Seed Club
The first life will always be Reina's most indelible memory. Looking back now, these guys will appear by Reina's side no matter which rebirth she is in.
They are true friends.
From the very beginning, there was no betrayal and no exclusion.
But after Voldemort's resurrection, Draco was under tremendous pressure from both the black and white factions. No one took Pansy, a fellow prefect, seriously. Theodore faced endless darkness alone. Blaise became someone who could be subjected to cold violence in the classroom. Millicent had to reduce her social life and stay indoors to avoid the storm. Daphne's personality became cruel just to protect her sister in such an environment...
At that time, Reina, who was still a little-known person, didn't take it seriously. But now, when the figures in her memories overlapped with everyone who was still bright and beautiful at the moment, the sense of lag brought to her by the reversal of time and space violently hit her heart.
Perhaps it was because of the bright fire in the room, the stone that Reina hung on her chest was warm, and she stroked the patterns on it with her thumb.
The words of the centaur Bane seemed to still echo. If this was also part of finding herself again, then Reina was really grateful to him.
"I never intended to get you off some pirate ship. Like I said, I hope everyone, every one of you can avoid the wind and snow outside the window like you are now."
Hearing this, Brace, who had some ideas in mind, stopped talking. The corners of his mouth curled up in a rebellious angle, and he lowered his head to play with his ring.
"What do you mean? Reina, did something happen?"
Pansy tilted her head, her brows slightly furrowed in worry.
"Barty Crouch II is helping You-Know-Who revive his body. The Triwizard Tournament will be a major turning point."
"what?"
"It turned out to be like this..."
Daphne and Millicent were shocked by this.
"How... No, it's not impossible, but what does this have to do with the Triwizard Tournament? After all, we are in Hogwarts."
Pansy was a little confused about this, and she controlled herself not to look at Draco.
"Hogwarts is not a safe place."
At this time, Theodore reminded in a deep voice, and Pansy realized that she was simply not involved in the crisis, but once the mysterious man was resurrected, Slytherin's situation would be very different from before. They would become the focus of everyone, regardless of whether they were right or wrong.
"Where did you get the news, Dean?"
Draco suddenly recalled the day in the Chamber of Secrets, when he faced the young Riddle, and he remembered his name - Tom Riddle.
He had also investigated, which was one of the reasons why he chose to use Zebrakna for intelligence work. Although it was difficult, he had to do it.
Because Draco realized that he knew too little, and if he continued like this, he would most likely be led by the nose, and he must not end up like that.
"Almost. I heard about it when Arthur Weasley was seriously injured. The professor hopes that I can stay away from them."
"You really should listen to him."
Draco waved his hand. Reina was not suitable to be a kind person. If those guys regarded her as one of their own, they would only think that their sacrifice was their due.
"Actually, I asked everyone to come out for dinner today because I have something else I think I need to tell you."
Reina let out a long sigh and decided to confess part of her story to them.
"I had a dream. I dreamt that You-Know-Who used the Triwizard Tournament to obtain Potter's blood and resurrected him. Two years later, he attacked Hogwarts and triggered the war. It was a complete nightmare, full of despair and terror. It was like experiencing it myself. I witnessed the deaths of many people, even myself, but I didn't think it was just a dream."
Although the words were simple, no one took Reina's words lightly. They looked at each other and lowered their heads in thought. Perhaps it was because the news was too sudden. In short, it was very quiet.
"No wonder you went looking for the centaurs."
Draco first connected the dots between Reina's abnormal behavior at Christmas. Centaurs have the ability to predict the future. Presumably, Reina and the dean went to find the Centaurs that day because of this dream that seemed like a premonition. No, now Reina will tell them that it is very likely that she has already received the Centaurs' answer.
"Yes, I don't know why, but it just happened. The professor thinks it's a waste of time to dwell on the reasons, regardless of whether it's true or not. He told me that Barty Jr. is reviving the mysterious man, which confirms that my dream is real."
"Why would you tell us? We can't change this kind of thing."
Brace always looks casual, but in fact he is just naturally indifferent. It is not so much that he is fickle in his emotions, but rather that he has never been serious. Most of the time he maintains a critical observation and a distant attitude.
He is a true Slytherin, but now, he is inseparable from Draco and Theodore. He admits that it was for profit at first, but since the second year, he doesn't seem to care much about losses. He even broke an arm for them and didn't ask for it back, right?
He still remembers the feeling of his bones being shattered. Perhaps that night was the worst decision he made in his life, which is why he is here now.
If a war breaks out in Hogwarts, even Hermalena, who is protected by Snape, is likely to be in danger. He should choose a safer way to escape unscathed like his mother did.
"Yes, perhaps I should tell Dumbledore, tell the savior Potter and his godfather, but this will have no effect on us who are not in the Order of the Phoenix. Friends, think about it, apart from the professor, who among them will seriously consider the life and death of Slytherin?"
"Are Slytherins not part of Hogwarts? If they dare to do something like that, Salazar Slytherin will definitely curse them!"
Pansy couldn't believe it and was a little angry. She suddenly heard such heavy news and didn't think seriously about why.
"Even Salazar himself left Hogwarts, didn't he? What are you still fantasizing about, Pansy? Gryffindor has produced a savior, a great man born specifically to destroy the mysterious man from Slytherin. Even Merlin might not be able to surpass him. We are evil in the secular sense."
Blaise snorted coldly, his tone was defiant. He was not like Draco, who even thought it was a waste of life to quarrel with Gryffindors. But the term "evil seed" sounded good too.
"There is a collapsed tunnel entrance in this basement. I'm not sure if it can lead to Hogwarts, but it seems necessary to clear it out first."
Draco thought about it. He knew that Reina used to sneak out of the Hogwarts tunnel to go shopping. The cleaner hired by Zebrakna had mentioned it before. He and Nott went to see it. They both thought it looked like a narrow passage entrance, but it was full of fallen rocks and it was completely impossible for people to pass through. Forcing it to move might even risk collapse, so they simply blocked it with a cabinet.
