Chapter 210 Running away from school
No matter how outrageous the farce is during the day, it will calm down at night.
Except for some people, of course.
Reina couldn't sleep anyway.
She turned all the books in the dormitory upside down, but there was nothing related to the Patronus Charm.
Based on her knowledge, she only knew one situation: it would be difficult for a dark wizard with an evil heart to summon a complete guardian beast.
But such a concept is too vague.
What counts as evil? Her?
Reina didn't think she was bad enough. The fact that even someone like Umbridge could do that was enough to prove that this conclusion was not credible.
She couldn't find any reason to convince herself.
Reina packed some things and stuffed them into a small box, then carried it out of the dormitory. She decided to go out for a while, to find the ghost lady, Lucius, or send a letter to Misent. Anyway, Hogwarts didn't need her now.
Now is a good time for both of us to calm down.
He quietly passed through the empty lounge and hurried towards the forbidden forest. It was simply—
It's like running away.
The downside of such haste was that she couldn't possibly notice the green flames in the lounge fireplace trembling a little, and the extra-tight blanket covering the sofa facing the fireplace was slowly pulled down by a slender, white hand, revealing a hint of platinum.
Against the backdrop of the fireworks, Draco's face was gloomy and he looked at the closed stone door with mixed emotions. He threw away the blanket that covered him to hide his figure, took a step forward and followed him out.
The Forbidden Forest was pitch black, and Draco couldn't help but recall the first time he came to the Forbidden Forest. It was like this, with no sound at all and an eerie atmosphere.
At that time, it was Reina who worked with him to investigate the cause of the unicorn's death. Of course, he naturally remembered that it was he who reported Reina to Professor Snape.
Now that I think about it, I always feel like something is wrong.
He would always remember that shadow. It was a person, but what kind of person would attack unicorns near Hogwarts and even suck their blood?
You can't blame him for having wild thoughts. The only thing that popped up in his mind was that person's name. Even though there was no reason to explain why, it just wouldn't go away.
He really didn't like the Forbidden Forest.
Lena is still moving forward. If she goes any further, she will almost reach the center of the Forbidden Forest. What on earth is she going to do?
Draco cast another silencing spell on himself and quickened his pace to close the distance between him and Lena.
Here, I think the distance is enough.
Reina looked back and estimated that she had walked far enough to be out of the Hogwarts barrier, but she did not leave immediately. Instead, she blew the whistle in her hand towards the school.
The whistle is not harsh and sounds very much like the call of birds.
Draco hid himself as he approached Reina.
After a few minutes, there was a sound of flapping wings, and a huge owl flew over and landed on Reina's arm. Reina almost couldn't catch it.
"Obos, thank you for your hard work."
Reina threw the dried fish in her bag to Obos one by one.
"I need you to go to Egypt to find Missent and bring this letter to him. The journey is long, so why not leave now and return sooner rather than later?"
“whoo~”
Obos flew to a nearby rock to eat some snacks, and stretched out his leg to help Reina tie the letter.
"be careful."
After eating, it spread its wings and flapped twice, flew to Reina's shoulder and teased her for a while before flying away to deliver the long-distance letter.
"So, who should I go to first?"
Lena took out her wand. It was indeed impolite to visit someone without saying hello, so why not give this impolite behavior to Lucius?
She was silently reciting Malfoy Manor and was about to Apparate when someone suddenly pounced on her.
The world was spinning around, and Reina fell to the ground, being hugged by the person next to her. Fortunately, Malfoy was rich and had laid a thick carpet.
"Uh...Merlin! Draco? Why are you here?!"
Reina didn't see clearly who was lying on her shoulder, but the hair was too obvious.
"Don't move, I'm about to vomit."
Draco knew that Reyna could Apparate, and when he realized she was bound to leave like that, he kept his eyes on her movements. When she picked up her wand, he rushed over, just to catch her.
But, I didn't expect it to be so uncomfortable╯﹏╰
"Let's not talk about why you followed me, but this is a very dangerous behavior. Do you know that you are in danger of disintegration?"
Draco used his hands to distance himself, turned around and sat aside with his legs bent, supporting his head with one hand, his hair casually threaded between his fingers.
Although he hasn't fully recovered yet, he can't keep suppressing others.
"How dangerous can it be? Don't worry, even if it disintegrates, I won't tell my father, but you must be responsible for me."
Draco had never experienced disintegration, so of course he didn't take it to heart. He looked at Lena looking him up and down, and waved his hand to indicate: I'm lucky, nothing will happen to me.
"But I think I already know, so can anyone explain what's going on, Draco, Hermalena?"
A familiar voice came from not far away, and a chill crept up Draco's back. Only then did he realize that the carpet beneath him felt so familiar!
"Oh! My Merlin's beard! Xiaolong, why are you here? And Reina, you, how come..."
Narcissa was a step behind Lucius and did not hear the conversation between the two, but she still went forward anxiously to help the two children up, and then pulled Draco around to check on him. After all, she had not seen her beloved son for a long time.
But Draco lowered his head. He tried to sneak a glance at Lucius, but turned away when he saw the gloomy face.
Seeing this, Lucius closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
"It's me. I came to see you. It happened suddenly, so I didn't come earlier."
Lena explained, and although she understood why Draco followed her, she didn't say anything on Draco's behalf.
"So...Draco, what about you?"
Lucius pinched his temple, he could probably guess something.
Draco suddenly figured something out, it seemed like he had done nothing wrong?
He just had a vague feeling that what happened to Reina tonight was not that simple, so he stayed in the lounge. Then he was caught by her sneaking out of the school, and with Snape's specific instructions, how could he not be worried, so he followed her.
I just didn't expect Reina's destination to be Malfoy Manor...
So Draco was no longer nervous and naturally brought up Snape's words asking him to look after Lena.
"That's right. Actually, I was surprised too."
"But you should keep in mind the dangers of Apparition, dear. We've told you before. Do you want your parents to see you covered in blood? I can't even imagine it!"
Narcissa, who had roughly sorted out the cause and effect, still focused on Draco's safety.
"I know, but I've learned it since then, but I haven't put it into practice yet..."
Draco had indeed learned the theoretical knowledge. When he learned that Reina could Apparate, he bought a book and taught himself, but he had not put it into practice yet.
"Okay, Xiaolong, your mother is worried about you. I think you should have a good talk with her - and Reina, come with me to the study."
Lucius gathered the cloak around his shoulders, revealing the pajamas underneath, and looked barely fit to receive guests, even though the cloak belonged to his wife.
