"Isn't it? But I remember she was so shy. I couldn't even talk to her in your house for a month." Harry felt that there was nothing unusual about Ginny except that she was mentally ill.
"You really don't know why?" Hermione rolled her eyes.
"What?" Harry asked in confusion.
"We fight a lot when we're at home." Worried about Ginny's condition, Ron lost his appetite.
"Is it possible that she is acclimated? Maybe she just came to Hogwarts and is still not used to it." Hermione was worthy of being a child of a doctor's family, so she immediately used scientific theories to find a reliable explanation.
"Are you acclimated to the local environment when you first come here?" Betty asked back
"We can't generalize about people's physiques~" Hermione said matter-of-factly
Ignoring the two people's nonsense, Ivy thought for a moment, considering how to guide Harry and the others, "Hagrid, when did you see Ginny yesterday?"
"I can't remember clearly, it was probably in the evening." Hagrid chewed his fingers and recalled.
"What about this chicken? When did you find it?"
"After dinner" Hagrid replied immediately
Harry looked at him and asked, "Why do you remember this so clearly?"
"Going around after dinner - it's a daily routine," Hagrid explained.
"You mean that the dead chicken was discovered after meeting Ginny?" Ivy summarized.
"Yeah - eh? What do you mean, Ivy?" Hagrid was stunned.
"You don't want to say, it's Ginny -" Harry looked at him in disbelief
"Impossible!" Ron stood up and said decisively:
"I don't think it's possible either," Hermione interrupted, "What reason would she have to kill a chicken? Even if she's hungry and wants to eat, she can always go to the kitchen and find a house elf."
"Don't get excited, I didn't say it was Ginny. Wait until I finish asking." Ivy first comforted them helplessly, and then asked, "Hagrid, you should be able to identify what kind of beast it was killed by, right?"
"Yes! Maybe it's a werewolf. Didn't you meet it in the Forbidden Forest last semester? Or it might be some other beast that comes out to look for food. This is normal." Ron tried his best to think of various possibilities.
"It's a pity. It shouldn't have been killed by wild animals." Hagrid looked at Ron apologetically. "If you really wanted to look for food, you wouldn't see any corpse at all. At most, there would be some blood stains. And there were no scratches or gnaws on this rooster."
Bite marks.”
"How could it be? What does she want to do?" After hearing what Hagrid said, Ron was a little angry. To be honest, it's not a big deal. Everyone is familiar with Hagrid, so just apologize. The key is this
The wanton behavior is very irritating.
"Don't rush to conclusions yet. This chicken stands upright and is about the same height as Ginny. Whether she can beat her or not is a question." Betty always stayed calm.
"That's right - I don't think we need to make any guesses here." Ivy looked at Hermione. "Go and ask if you have time. If you do, just apologize. Hagrid won't be angry with her, right?"
?”
Harry and the others immediately looked at Hagrid
Hagrid looked at a few slightly nervous faces and smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me? Of course I won't be angry at such a trivial matter. Ginny hasn't been feeling well lately. If you need chicken soup to replenish your health, just come to me!"
"He promised, patting his chest.
After listening to his words, Ron and others breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Hagrid" Ron said sincerely
"You think I'm too stingy," Hagrid said nonchalantly.
"Hurry up and eat, there are still classes in the afternoon"......
————
After eating, several people said goodbye to Hagrid on their way back.
"Ivy, do you think Ginny really did it?" Hermione asked.
"Why do you ask?" Ivey asked.
"Because your intuition and reasoning were very accurate last semester," Hermione replied. Although she didn't say it, she always admired it in her heart.
"Actually, I didn't doubt Ginny at first." Ivy paused. "As you said, she had no reason to kill a chicken, no motive at all."
"Yeah, let me tell you, Ginny has absolutely no reason to do such a thing," Ron agreed from the side.
"But Ginny's recent state makes me very confused. Do you think her current situation seems like she has done something wrong and is feeling guilty and guilty?"
After what he said, everyone carefully recalled Ginny's abnormal mood in the past few days - the more they thought about it, the more similar it became.
"Ugh..." Ron scratched his head in distress, "I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll ask her tonight to find out."
As soon as everyone returned to the castle, Professor McGonagall suddenly appeared in front of them: "Good afternoon, gentlemen and ladies."
"Hello, Professor McGonagall. May I ask -" Ivy said
"I'm here to see Mr. Weasley and Mr. Potter." Professor McGonagall looked at the two of them. "Mr. Weasley and Mr. Potter, the punishment for you two has been handed down."
Looking at Professor McGonagall with a serious face, Ron swallowed and said, "Professor, we -"
"Mr. Weasley, you go help Mr. Filch clean the silverware in the trophy room - no magic is allowed! Mr. Potter, you go help Professor Lockhart reply to his admirers." Professor McGonagall
Keep a straight face and be meticulous.
"Ah! Professor, can I wipe the banknotes?" Harry begged desperately.
"No! Professor Lockhart asked you by name, so it's decided. Remember! It's eight o'clock in the evening, don't be late." After saying that, he left.
"Filch is going to kill me!" Ron cried sadly. "Do you know how many trophies there are in that room - without magic! Oh, my God! I hope I can make it for breakfast tomorrow~"
"I'd rather trade with you." Harry said with a long face, "I've always done scrubbing and washing at the Dursleys. Answering Lockhart's letters! It's a nightmare just thinking about it."
"They deserve it." Hermione didn't feel sorry for them. "Who made you violate the school rules?"
Ivey also comforted him by saying, "Please be more open-minded, guys. At least you have already had lunch and your appetite will not be affected by this problem."
"....You are really good at comforting people."
——————
11:30 p.m., Hufflepuff common room.
On the table is the gold crucible that Ivey bought before. Boiling water vapor is constantly coming out. There are a variety of ingredients around it, mostly vegetables.
While everyone else was sleeping, Ivy and Betty went out on a date to have a midnight snack. Best also showed his body lying on the dining table, and Betty fed him some food from time to time.
"How's it going? My improved tomato-flavored pot bottom." Ivey ordered another plate of yangkou (a fungus similar to enoki mushrooms).
"It's not bad. When did you do it? Why didn't I know?" He said and ordered another plate of luncheon meat for Best.
"What are you talking about - in the last month of summer vacation, you stay in your room every day practicing magic, why don't I pull you out and go to Rebel's place?" He looked like you were embarrassed to mention it.
"Really? But the reason why I'm like this is because of that bastard~" Betty replied lukewarmly
"Uh--" Aiwei said, "Hey, it's me, it's me, it's all for me." Aiwei chuckled and moved his buttocks, sticking together with Betty.
"Would you like some wine?" Ivy took out a bottle of red wine
"Don't drink"
"Oh~ give her a little" Ivey poured her a small cup of red wine with ill intentions.
"You don't want to get me drunk and do weird things~" Betty looked at him playfully
"How is it possible! Am I that kind of person?" Ivy pushed the wine cup in front of Betty, "Finally, we took advantage of everyone's sleep to secretly have a date. If I don't drink some wine, I always feel like I'm missing something."
"Really?" Betty picked up the wine cup and was doubtful.
"Hey, where is that guy who seduced me at every turn?" Ivey yelled in a funny way.
"Today is different from the past." Betty chuckled and took a sip of wine. "You didn't get it back then."
"..." Ivey had a dark look on his face. What do you mean I haven't got it yet? Shouldn't this be what a man says to a woman——
After three rounds of drinking, the food on the table was half eaten, and most of the bottle of red wine went into the stomachs of the two of them. With Ivey's physique, he didn't have to worry about getting drunk, which was also the capital of his dirty plan.
Betty was different. Her cheeks were slightly dizzy, and her snow-white skin was dyed with a charming color. Her legs were crossed and she was leaning on the sofa, her eyelashes were slightly trembling, and the blue sea was flowing in her half-squinted eyes. She was shaking the wine glass with her jade hand,
He glanced at Aiwei with wandering eyes.
When Betty was drunk, her true nature as a witch was fully revealed. This natural display of charm made Ivey's limbs swollen with blood. He just met Betty's eyes, touched her side, and slowly pressed up, face to face.
Look down into her eyes.
Betty just looked at him with a smile and didn't make any move.
The fragrant body fragrance mixed with the mellow smell of alcohol continued to stimulate Ivy's brain. His breathing became more and more rapid, he took the wine glass in Betty's hand and drank it down, and then sealed his seductive red lips without hesitation -
—
Soft, sweet, and like poison that makes people unable to extricate themselves. Ivey fell deeply into it and was intoxicated. As his movements became more and more wanton, Betty was already soft and turned into a puddle of mud.
"Meow meow——"
Suddenly, Best jumped into Betty's ear and screamed twice.
This made Betty's hazy eyes instantly clear. Feeling the heat of the man's breathing and the burning touch on his waist, she suddenly became ashamed and angry. She raised her knees and directly pushed Ivy to the ground.
"Ouch——"
Ivey was unprepared and let out a scream.
"Bastard! Coffin Binding Technique!"
Perhaps out of shame and anger, Betty cast the spell without a wand.
A golden ring locked Ivey to the ground
"Hey, hey, hey! Are you going to murder your husband?" Ivey shouted hurriedly
"You bastard, you really have no good intentions!" Betty's face turned even redder. But this time she was probably angry.
"Uh-haha, to enhance feelings, the method is inevitably a bit exciting." After being exposed, Ivey was still very embarrassed.
"Hmph! You can sleep here tonight!" After finishing tidying up her clothes, Betty was still a little annoyed. She had done the same trick for the second time, and she could still fall into this guy's trap.
"Ah~ No way! I'm just wearing a single shirt, and the weather is getting cold now. Wife, you can't be so cruel, right?" Ivey said miserably
"You deserve it! I don't care about you," Betty said, then picked up Best and left the lounge.
"--Bang"
Ivy, who was lying on the ground, heard the door closing and shouted, "Hey - he's really leaving!"
no reply
"It seems like it's a bit too much - hehe" Ivey laughed to himself.
