"Ah!"
With a cry of surprise, pansy suddenly turned over from bed and sat up. She kept panting, and the cold sweat on her forehead slid down her cheeks and fell from her chin to the pajamas on her chest.
"Huh? Pansy... What's the matter?"
"Nothing, nothing, just a nightmare."
Hearing her roommate's vague questions, she pursed her mouth, shook her head and answered in an artificial calm voice.
"Oh... Startled me, I thought... Ha... I thought something had happened!" my roommate yawned at her, then retracted into the quilt, "then I continue to sleep?"
"Yes."
After his roommate lay down again, pansy raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his face. The cold and greasy touch made her feel a little disgusted.
However, no matter how uncomfortable the sweat is, it can't compare with the fear in her heart at the moment.
Even if she had awakened from the nightmare, the face in the dream still remained in her mind - distorted, dark, full of pain and death.
Of course, there are those eyes staring at her hole.
"The man's face when he died... You must remember much better than your brother's face?"
Before returning to the bedroom, what McLean said in Snape's office reappeared in her heart, echoing and waving like magic.
He picked up the water cup on the bedside table and drank it. Suddenly, a chill turned into a line on her chest, slid straight down into her abdomen, and then gradually spread.
Relying on the cold in his chest and several deep breaths, pansy calmed down a little, and then recalled the follow-up of his previous conversation with McLean.
Not long ago, she suddenly murmured at the bottom of her heart:
"I, I really... Can you do it?"
……
"To tell you the truth, I just said that you would be sent to Azkaban. That's not alarmist..."
At that time, in Snape's office, Maka first reminded pansy of the face of the Muggle hanged man who died in his hand.
When pansy was terrified, he continued to talk about the harsh prospects that the other party might face in the near future.
"You know, although there are regulations on the protection of minors, it is only a discretionary reduction in punishment." Maka said calmly, "do you remember the punishment when I was taken to wiesengamo? The death of dwarf Peter made me sentenced to manslaughter, and finally I was sentenced to five years in prison and half the punishment for minors."
At this point, he paused a little, then looked at pansy and said:
"And you... First of all, a crime of intentional homicide is indispensable. Then, I think the reason why you choose Muggle prisoners to death is to reduce your guilt as much as possible? But you don't consider that the most important law in the magic world is the international confidentiality law..."
As she said this, Maka stood up and said:
"Do it to Muggles? Even those death eaters who are the first fallen demons have to think about it again and again!"
After that, Maka looked at Snape, who was leaning against her desk, and shrugged her shoulders.
Seeing this, Snape couldn't help but curl his lips and say:
"During the general judgment period of the first wizard war, the cousin of Death Eater dolphin roll was finally sentenced to the penalty of 'Dementor kiss' because she contributed Muggle prisoners to Voldemort's refining of Yin corpses - and you, hum, the death penalty is not enough, but at least half of her generation should have spent in Azkaban?"
It is precisely because the penalty of intentional homicide is extremely heavy and has a great impact.
Therefore, even if Marca was just looking for a reason to act with Dumbledore, she managed to defend herself in the courtroom, and finally fought for a charge of manslaughter.
If he had been convicted of intentional homicide at that time, it would not be so easy to erase the impression of others afterwards.
Listening to Snape casually give an example, pansyden became more and more afraid. At that moment, she was not only afraid of the dead, but also frightened of the disaster of prison in the future.
You know, Azkaban's Dementors are feared by everyone in the magic world - the feeling of losing all positive emotions and leaving only silence in her heart. She has heard it many times from several elders at home.
But in the next second, Maka suddenly smiled inexplicably.
"Miss Parkinson," he said, "now that you have completed the first step of the magic ceremony, does that mean that your magic talent has grown?"
Panxi quickly looked up and said:
"It... It... Professor McLean, it's a hidden danger... A great hidden danger! It -"
"I know," Marca raised her hand and motioned, "I know its hidden danger - not only that, I can also feel that the effect of the magic ceremony is not as strong as you think, isn't it?"
"Well... How did you know?" said pansydon in amazement.
When she asked, Maka smiled as if she didn't care.
"In the underground church under the cemetery, didn't I also propose with Martin that you should be an 'Insider' hiding in Hogwarts?" he said faintly, "why did you forget so soon?"
"That... That person is you?"
Pansy was really frightened this time. Even because of Maka's words, the panic in her heart suddenly pressed her previous fear back to her heart, and she had no mind to worry about killing.
But seeing her staring wide and stunned for a while, she finally begged for mercy:
"I'm sorry... Professor, i... please forgive me! I, I don't want to promise, but the situation at that time really made me have to promise..."
Maka listened to her for a long time, then interrupted her chaotic words and said slowly:
"Of course I know you were forced... Because I deliberately forced you to promise. Otherwise, do you think you can still sit here and talk to me?"
"Yes, yes, thank you for saving -"
"No," Marca waved her hand and interrupted her again. "Saving you is just because you are a student of Hogwarts, and you can't take the hand of a black wizard to fight you... But that doesn't mean you can't die, okay?"
"... death, death?"
When pansy was shocked by the word "death" in Maka's mouth, Maka couldn't help laughing and said:
"Why, when you kill an irrelevant person, don't you consider the other party's mood of facing death? Even if the hanging is guilty of heinous crimes, that's not the reason why you kill with greed and evil thoughts."
Watching pansy fall into silence again with his words, Maka continued:
"Weisengamo, you may have to go there, but personally, I can give you a chance to reduce the penalty."
"I'm willing to do anything! I'm willing to do anything!" pansy immediately expressed his attitude, but then turned around, "but... Is it just to reduce the penalty?"
"Huh?"
When Maka heard this, she raised her eyebrows and said:
"It seems that you don't have enough repentance... Miss Parkinson, I suddenly don't want to give you any chance. After all... You don't seem to know what 'regret and cherish'?"
"No! It's not like this..." pansy hurriedly said, "Professor McLean, I mean... If I were in Azkaban, our Parkinson family would..."
After listening to pansy's previous description of the family, Marca certainly understood what she wanted to say.
Indeed, because one of Pansy's cousins had been sent to Azkaban as a Death Eater, the whole Parkinson family would have a great impact on the outside world if another person in their family went to prison.
At least, those who could have cooperated with their industry should choose to wait and see!
Maka knows that a wizard with arrogant family background like pansy attaches great importance to his family. Every word and deed of each of them represents their surname, and they will never allow themselves to discredit the family.
Unfortunately, Maka had no feelings for these pure blood families. Because he knows better that with the current trend of the magic world, the loss of power and loneliness of these families will happen sooner or later.
After listening to her first mention about the family, she said:
"And... Do you see the hidden danger of that magic ceremony?"
"You don't have to care," said Marca. "I'll give you a guarantee of life, at least to ensure that you won't be killed by Martin during this period... You know, he's still waiting for you to work for him! Isn't he?"
After a little pause, he said again:
"As for your family... Well, your brother's name is percess, isn't it? If he's really just excluded, it's not a problem for me to give him a way out. Not only that, if you can grasp the opportunity I give you, your Parkinson's family will benefit!"
For a moment of silence, pansy seemed to have made up his mind and nodded his head.
"Professor McLean, what do you want me to do?"
"Don't worry, what I want you to do is not complicated at all. It's very simple!" Marca smiled. "Stay with Martin and be your 'believer'. When he wants you to do things, remember to tell me in time. By the way... Make more 'friends'!"
After much telling her, Maka first let her go back to Slytherin's bedroom, and then looked at Professor Snape with a calm face.
"Professor, do you have any feelings?"
Snape immediately smacked his tongue and said:
"Feeling? Hum... It reminds me of a lot of unpleasant things."
What Maka wants pansy to do is naturally the so-called "spy", and it is also a double-sided spy. This is obviously similar to the nature of what Dumbledore asked Snape to do.
Of course, pansy's work is much easier than Snape in the past!
