HP Princess bravely enters Hogwarts

Chapter 147 Assigning tasks

Cygnus patted the seat beside him, and Draco moved over awkwardly.

Finally, their eyes met, and Draco's gaze met Segnus's slightly cold eyes.

His heart skipped a beat, and he clearly saw an undisguised helplessness in his sister's eyes.

That was helplessness towards him.

Well, he had to admit that in some aspects, he was indeed no match for that Muggle-born know-it-all lady.

Senus knew what Draco was thinking too well, so she assigned a task to Draco as well.

"Perhaps you would like to do me a small favor?"

Hearing this, Draco immediately raised his head, and the feeling of being trusted made him unable to help but nod vigorously.

After thinking about the current affairs at hand, Sensenas decided to let Draco help keep an eye on Gareth Selwyn.

"This is an important thing, you can do it, right, Draco?"

“You can trust me completely”

As if to prove that Cygnus was right, Draco could not wait to leave the common room.

He had just seen Selwyn go to the library.

After making sure Draco had left, Theodore, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke: "Are you really sure he can complete this task?"

His tone was firm, and it was obvious that he did not have much trust in Draco's abilities.

Segnus glanced at Theodore, the corners of his lips slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and he felt amused in his heart.

This guy is always so cautious, worrying about things that haven't happened yet.

However, being cautious can save you some trouble.

She did not immediately answer Theodore's question, but turned her eyes toward the fireplace.

The flames in the fireplace were leaping and crackling happily.

She picked up the information about Selwyn on the table and threw it in carelessly.

The flames instantly devoured the papers, and soon the documents were burned to ashes.

"If he can't even accomplish this small task, then he is destined to be unqualified to become the heir of the Malfoy family, isn't he?" Cygnus said coldly, with a hint of chill in her voice.

After hearing this, Theodore lowered his head slightly and said nothing more, which was considered as his tacit agreement with her point of view.

He knew his own status and shouldn't question Segnus's decision. What he should do is to obey.

Theodore's reaction pleased Seconas, she really liked this sharp and obedient knife.

As time passed, night gradually fell and the entire Hogwarts was shrouded in darkness.

In the dead of night, the light was still on in Segnus' bedroom.

Tonight, she was still alone in the bedroom.

As for Pansy, Cygnus didn't care where she went every night.

In her heart, Pansy was just an insignificant existence.

The midnight bell struck the third time, and Segnus, who usually fell asleep long ago, was rarely still sitting at her desk tonight.

Her eyes were fixed on the hourglass on the table, as if she was waiting for someone.

"Meow--"

A familiar cat's cry broke the silence in the room.

Cygnus looked up and saw Riddle lying on her bed.

His left leg was covered in blood and the wound was horrific. It was obvious that he had encountered a very difficult situation.

"I think you may need to postpone your plan for a while, as he is becoming more and more powerful."

Riddle's voice was weak, and he was badly weakened by the collaboration between Selwyn and his original self.

At least in the short term, he had no way to help Segnus.

Facing the extremely weak Riddle, Cygnus realized something.

Looking at the extremely weak Riddle, Segnus suddenly understood something in her heart.

Voldemort may have recovered. Although we don't know what means he used, it is likely that Selwyn has something to do with it.

"Then you should take a rest first. We are in the open while the enemy is in the dark. If we attack first, we might get beaten like a drowned cat."

Cygnus said this, deliberately glancing at Riddle who was licking his wounds.

Riddle felt inexplicably humiliated, as if he was being looked down upon.

“I am saying this because…”

"Okay, I need to rest now, maybe you can go stay in Raven first."

The unspoken words were once again stuck in my throat.

This girl who once cheated on him under the pseudonym Margaret always made him very angry.

As infuriating as her grandfather.

As the dormitory door slammed shut, Riddle endured the pain from his wound and prepared to leave.

"Tom Riddle"

Suddenly, a clear boy's voice came from the sofa. His name sounded particularly nice when pronounced from the boy's mouth.

Gareth Selwyn was sitting on the sofa, looking at him with a smile, which made Riddle even more alert.

Sometimes he doubted very much that Selwyn was Secnas's biological brother.

Compared to the other Malfoy, the personalities of these two are simply cast in the same mold.

They are all smiling tigers.

"We are all friends, don't treat it like an enemy"

Selwyn seemed oblivious to Riddle's increasingly dark face and continued talking to himself.

Riddle looked at him, his anger rising.

If I wasn't injured now, I would really like to get rid of this guy immediately.

After all, it was all because of him that I was in this miserable state.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think you and I can be considered friends."

Riddle refused directly. He didn't want to have any contact with this man. It was not like he had been backstabbed by him before.

However, Gareth thought that his refusal was just because the chips were not enough. What if he added some more chips?

"I can help you, you know my strength"

As he said this, Gareth kept watching Riddle's expression.

To be honest, he was not very sure. After all, Riddle was not a fool as easy to deceive as Draco Malfoy.

Faced with Gareth's temptation, Riddle was not moved at all.

Although he knew in his heart that Gareth did have the ability to help him.

But he also understood that cooperating with someone like Gareth would be like courting death.

He didn't think that the original guy would have any good ending if he cooperated with Selwyn.

"Take care of yourself first. Segnus is not a weakling."

After saying this, Riddle turned into a black cat and ran out.

In the Slytherin common room, the lights were dim, and only the fire in the fireplace was still burning, making crackling sounds.

The firelight shone on Gareth's face, making his complexion look even rosier, but the smile on the corner of his mouth froze a little and seemed a little stiff.

Sometimes, he felt that the people in this book were really ungrateful. No wonder they all had a bad ending in the end.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and calculated in his mind.

What's the next plot?

It seems that people from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will be here soon.
