Hogwarts, where the stars shine

However, in the days that followed, Steele Martin was supposed to be eating and drinking, but he was doing no serious business at all.

This was very difficult for Mesa, who was waiting patiently. There was a layer of spider webs hanging all over his body.

There was no grass growing at Hogwarts in March, only a continuous drizzle that refused to stop. The grounds were wet and muddy, and every Herbology class became a torture.

Filch prowled the corridors all day, his temper even worse than before, and his angry roars could always be heard in the foyer.

Professor Snape is still the same, hovering in the underground classroom like a flying bat, spraying venom on every student in Potions class.Even Slytherins are not immune.

This undoubtedly shows that Snape has been in a very bad mood recently.Just because someone touched his bottom line and challenged the majesty of the Dean of Slytherin House.

While waiting day after day, Mesa never waited for Professor Martin's visit, but instead welcomed the Easter holiday first.

Although Easter in 1989 came a little earlier, and there were still ten weeks before the final exams, the after-school homework assigned by the teachers was like a landslide, completely engulfing the students.

Therefore, the Easter holidays are not nearly as fun-filled as the Christmas holidays.Most of the time, the students were sighing and working hard to complete the heavy homework.

One night, Mesa stayed with Lilia in the common room, watching her practice her wand movements over and over again.

Because he was so close to Mesa, Lilia also suffered and was hated by some Slytherin students.Of course, gossiping behind your back is also an essential activity.

But it was only behind the scenes. They were afraid of the power of the Shafiq family and did not dare to openly bully them.These people can only alienate Lilia silently, and then make up lies like talkative women.

Lilia Shafiq knew this very well, but she just refused to change and remained the same.Lilia was taught how to choose her friends since she was a child.

It was obvious that between Mesa and those people, Lilia chose Mesa as her friend.

Although this friend has brought some troubles, compared with his role and future, these small troubles are not a problem at all.

"Wingardim Leviosa!"

Accompanied by Lilia's clear voice, the book with "Magic Theory" printed in gold on the cover floated, and floated higher and higher under the control of the wand.

"Mesa, do you think there's something weird in the common room tonight?" Lilia said softly, "Ouch!"

Lilia was observing the lounge as she spoke, but the floating "Magic Theory" fell from the air due to her distraction.

Fortunately, Mesa looked up from "The Crazy Magic of the Strange Wizard" at this time and reached out to catch the falling book in time, so that Lilia's little head was not smashed into an idiot.

Mesa looked around.

It was already past the curfew time, and many people had already returned to their dormitories, while the remaining people sat together in twos and threes.

Although it was not as lively and lively as Gryffindor, and there were not many people staying in the common room, the dungeon in the past was not as lifeless as it was tonight.

The Slytherin common room at this moment was indeed somewhat unusual.

Almost no one in the lounge spoke. They were either sighing or yawning. The entire lounge was enveloped in a drowsy silence.

The crackling flame in the fireplace is a lullaby, and the fish swimming outside the window are the swinging pendulum.Everything in the room seemed to be urging everyone to fall asleep quickly.

"Pinch me," Mesa whispered.

Just by raising his eyes and scanning around, Mesa felt sleepy. He wanted to go back to the dormitory right away, throw himself on the bed and fall asleep.

"Ah...what did you say?" Lilia said in a daze, her tone sounded lazy, as if she hadn't slept for several days and nights.

As the two talked, there were more and more yawns in the common room, one after another, and soon they became one.A few others got up and left directly, staggering towards their respective dormitories.

When you feel sleepy, pain can effectively prevent drowsiness from taking over.

Therefore, Mesa pinched himself hard, forcing himself to stay awake.

Then Mesa followed the same pattern and made Lilia beside him wake up.Mesa opened two more packages of chocolate frogs and stuffed them into his and Lilia's mouths respectively.

Chocolate contains theobromine, which is a healthy anti-sedative ingredient for humans.Eating chocolate can make people feel happy and excited.

Mesa's feeding action was a little rough, and two chocolate frog pictures fell to the carpet at his feet.

One is of the famous Irish druid Cliona, and the other is of the vampire writer Amarillo Lestoat.

"Well...well!" Lilia said in a vague voice, "Suddenly I feel so sleepy, I want to take a rest."

In this moment, several more people got up and left the lounge. They walked towards the dormitory with their heads hanging down and yawning.It's like what everyone eats at dinner is sleepy eggs instead of Easter eggs.

"Don't sleep!" Mesa said.

He took Lilia's slender wrist and shook it up and down and left and right.

"Ouch! Why are you so annoying..." Lilia said lazily, with a bit of resentment in her tone.

If someone wakes you up when you are about to fall asleep, or roughly shakes your wrist, no matter how good-tempered you are, you will get angry.

Mesa stood up and pulled the sleepy Lilia up together.Mesa said: "The situation is not right, wake up quickly! Let's leave the lounge first!"

"No, I'm going to bed..."

With that said, Lilia shook off Messa's arm that was holding her.Her expression was dull and her eyes were lifeless. Relying on her memory and feelings, Lilia staggered towards the girls' dormitory.

Lilia was the first to notice the abnormality in the lounge, and she was also the one who warned Mesa, but she herself couldn't resist the invasion of sleep.

If he continues to stop Lilia and prevent her from returning to the dormitory, I'm afraid she will cry and fuss like a nagging baby.

Unfortunately, the situation was urgent at the moment, and the sleepy Slytherin dungeon was obviously not normal. How could Mesa let Lilia out of his sight.

What's more, Mesa is not someone who spoils children.

Regardless of any gentlemanly etiquette, Mesa tightly grasped Lilia's delicate and tender right hand and dragged her out.

The sleepy Lilia naturally refused.Her left hand kept slapping Mesa, resisting to the end, and her stubbornness was terrifying.

Mesa ignored it and forcibly dragged Lilia out.This behavior looks very much like a bully robbing a girl.

According to normal procedures, it was time for a chivalrous person to jump out and stop Mesa's evil deeds.

But reality is always cruel and difficult to look at.The people in the lounge were indifferent. They turned a blind eye to Mesa's atrocities and had no idea of ​​​​rescuing the girl.

Some people stretched themselves and walked back to the dormitory, while some people simply lay down on the spot.

Immediately, gentle snoring could be heard in the common room.

Throw a pebble into the lake, no matter how small the pebble is, no matter how calm the lake surface is, the pebble will create ripples when it enters the water.

But now the Slytherin common room is a pool of stagnant water without ripples.Even if a meteor hits it, it will not make waves in the stagnant water.

Holding back the sleepiness that came over him, Mesa bit the tip of his tongue while pulling Lilia, who kept crying.

It was obviously a short journey from the armchair to the stone wall leading outside the lounge, but when Mesa touched the wall, he felt as if he had climbed over a high mountain.

Tasting the salty taste in his mouth, Mesa finally left the lounge with all his strength.

The cold wind blew in the corridor, instantly dispelling the lingering sleepiness.
