"Stay here honestly! Don't you just take some blood samples? As for twisting around like this... Hey! Don't run, do you think you can run?"
In the room, Maka hurried from one end to the other with some syringes bought from Muggle world in her hand.
On the ground in front of him, the snake monster, whose body was reduced by him, was desperately running away and swam under the bed in a twinkling of an eye.
Unfortunately, just hiding under the bed must not make much sense. However, seeing that Maka had a headache after her, she simply stretched out her hand and dragged the snake monster out of it.
When the Basilisk floating in the air struggled twice and found it useless, "she" finally hung down her head as if she had completely lost her heart.
When Maka saw this, she held the syringe and rowed back and forth, and then continued,
"It seems that I was so kind to you before, which made you brave again. I can tell you, it's good for you and me to find out the situation early... At least it can save some energy, can't it?"
To be honest, because he had already confirmed that the Basilisk didn't understand what he said, his chatter was more like talking to himself.
But now there is no third person in the room except him and the basilisk. So, just looking for someone to talk to, he can only mutter like such a person.
Because if he wants to temporarily forget Christine's death and Charles's plea, he must not let his brain idle, can he not?
However, when Maka found the right position and wanted to poke the needle into the basilisk, three rather reserved knocks suddenly sounded at the door of his room.
"Oh! Sorry, I'm a little busy at the moment..." Maka shouted without looking back. "Professor Snape, just open the door and come in!"
Before the voice fell, the door opened gently, and Snape in black immediately walked from the outside to the room.
"Marca, let me ask you! Did you have anything to do with --"
Before he finished the question, he saw the snake floating in front of Maka.
Although the Basilisk has been reduced by Maka's powerful shrink spell, Snape, who is no stranger to many magical creatures, recognized the real variety of the snake at a glance.
"Snake monster?" snape was surprised at such a rare magical creature. "Where did you get it?"
"Huh?"
And Snape's question, Marca has nothing to say.
Previously, after returning from the London sewer, he went to the headmaster's office with Charles and told Professor McGonagall the whole story of Christine's death.
Now it doesn't seem impossible to tell Snape again.
After taking three small tubes of blood samples for the snake monster, he put his things away and turned to say:
"It's Haier Bo - I 'robbed' it from him. Although it's just a snake monster, she 'is transformed by humans. I'm hoping to get more information about Haier Bo from her!"
Maybe no one except Maka will say "it's just a snake monster".
You know, the Basilisk is one of the first "5x" magical creatures recognized by the Ministry of magic. It is second to none in terms of danger or rarity.
Therefore, even Snape could not help shaking his head wordlessly after hearing it.
But Maka didn't elaborate on this issue. For him, he doesn't want to mention Christine's death again and again in the near future.
Soon he shrugged and said:
"By the way, Professor! What were you going to ask me just now?"
When Snape heard the speech, he immediately remembered the reason why he came to Maka, and heard him go on:
"I want to ask you, did you mention Parkinson's to Draco? Just now he came to me and said that he found that Parkinson had abnormal behavior and suspected that Parkinson had some connection with Haier Bo."
As soon as Maka heard this, she immediately nodded her head.
"Oh, I know that!" he said with a slight sigh as he recalled Quidditch's day. "Of course, I didn't tell him, and probably it won't be Miss Parkinson - I don't think she has the courage to say it. In this case, Malfoy can only guess it by himself."
After Maka's analysis, Snape was naturally not stupid and soon figured out some of the key points.
He knows that Malfoy's experience is quite similar to that of Parkinson's. It's not surprising that he can guess anything from the latter's recent state.
Just let Malfoy know about it. Is it really no problem?
"Anyway, I told you about it," snape thought and waved his hand. "Just now Draco came to tell me, I perfunctorily passed it, and what to do after that, you can do it yourself! I will do it according to the guidance I promised you before, but I can't control anything else!"
After that, he didn't say anything more. He turned and walked to the door again. It was obvious that he was going to leave.
"Well, leave it to me about Malfoy!" Marca said, looking at Snape's back. "But I don't think we need to worry too much... Even I think Malfoy may make Parkinson adapt to her new identity faster!"
Snape, who just came to the door, heard it. He just paused a little, but he didn't say anything. The next moment, he went out from the door and helped Maka close the door before leaving.
Not long after, Maka, who was still standing in the room, put down Malfoy again, took out the blood sample of the Basilisk again, and quickly walked to the desk with some magic potions.
On his little arm, the Basilisk's Scarlet tongue stretched and retracted from time to time. But after smelling the smell of his blood, he simply buried his head in Maka's sleeve and pretended to be an ostrich.
……
At the same time, by the school garden.
Percy, who knew nothing about Malfoy's "little report" to Snape, had wandered around the garden alone.
Although because of Professor sprott's magic, the garden has a large number of flowers in full bloom all year round, even in ice and snow.
But to say that this flower is the most beautiful to enjoy in spring.
After forcing himself to ignore the noise of Gryffindor in the garden, pansy was able to bear it and continue to taste the beauty.
Smelling the sweet and greasy fragrance in the air and looking at the colorful flowers, the pressure that lingered in her heart quietly faded away.
However, as she walked in the garden, the lunch break was passing by. A moment later, seeing that there were fewer and fewer students in the garden, she realized that it was time for class again.
Just as the thought flashed through pansy's mind, she turned and was about to go to the entrance of the garden. Suddenly, she found that there was another person behind her.
"Draco?"
Just as pansy looked back, the golden light looked incomparably bright in the sun.
However, Malfoy, who was standing next to a cluster of purple tulips, did not respond. He just stood there with his thin lips slightly pursed, and the cold on his face seemed to freeze the flowers around him.
"Draco, what's the matter with you?" pansy immediately felt Malfoy's indifference and asked, "why do you look at me with such eyes?"
I remember that on the day of the Quidditch match, she didn't see the other party show such a look when she was warned by Malfoy. At best, she just ignored it.
So what happened to his attitude today?
"Have I done anything to make him unhappy?" pansy wondered. "Although I may do something suspicious in the future, at least I haven't done it yet? Draco, what's the trouble?"
She could not imagine that she had just touched the handle of the wand before, and she didn't even draw it out, which was immediately suspected by Draco.
When pansy was confused, Malfoy finally spoke.
"What's the matter?" he said coldly. "Remember what I said? Don't get into trouble for Hogwarts - I'm a year late because of my suspension. If I can't graduate because of your trouble... Hum!"
Hearing Malfoy's cold hum, pansy could not help but say wrongfully:
"Uh... Draco, I didn't do anything? You... Did you misunderstand something?"
As soon as pansy had finished, Malfoy raised his eyebrows.
"Unfortunately, although I don't know why you didn't do it before, I can see your little moves clearly... Of course, no matter what your plans are, I've reported what I see to Professor Snape."
"You know, the last thing I want now is someone to disturb my life, okay?"
However, for the indifferent Malfoy in front of him, pansy can only smile bitterly.
She understood - it was estimated that Malfoy saw her previous actions, coupled with her previous speculation, which formed a completely unnecessary misunderstanding.
As for Malfoy's claim that he wanted to report to Snape, pansy didn't care at all. After all, anyway, Snape already knew about her, and did he use Draco Malfoy to say it?
Pansy cares more about Malfoy than Snape knows about this misunderstanding. She wanted to know that she was really so untrustworthy in Malfoy's heart?
Before, Malfoy just didn't care about herself, but now, she feels that she is almost hated by Malfoy!
After a long silence, pansy said quietly:
"Draco, you know I like you! So, do you really think I'll forget your reminder and do something stupid that will definitely make you hate me?"
