Saturday arrived in the blink of an eye.
All students have finished their exams.
The Quidditch Pitch was packed with people early in the morning.
Even though the match was scheduled for 11 a. m., it didn't start until close to noon.
But Quidditch enthusiasts, carrying portable food such as pies and bacon from the dining room, as well as drinks Pumpkin Juice, had already secured their spots in advance.
Basil was among them.
Of course, he didn't like Quidditch.
It's not about following the crowd.
Rather, it was to avoid Sirius.
For the past few days, Dumbledore has been preventing Sirius from getting close to the Slytherin Head of House's office so that his Potions Class professor can focus on grading papers, arranging exams, and preparing assignments.
The door to the empty classroom next door was removed and enlarged with magic.
He himself kept an eye on the main entrance while working inside.
To prevent Sirius from causing trouble.
Indeed, after Sirius learned from Ron the Ron about the unfair treatment Harry received in Potions Class, he did consider running to the basement.
But at that time, Basil was using the toilet in the dormitory's washroom.
That anger subsided.
Reason came to mind.
He was recalling the scene of teaching Snape lesson, preparing to repeat the same trick.
But after his anger subsided, he had a feeling that he was the bad guy.
In his mind, Snape, hanging upside down in mid-air, had his dark underwear sticking out, which seemed strangely glaring.
This is the beginning of a tragic relationship.
Basil's presence prevented Sirius from feeling guilty when facing James's face.
Other positive emotions, along with memories of James teaching Snape, going out at night, and joking with others using spells, flooded back.
As an adult, he actually realized that he had been too dissolute in his youth.
She will admit that she is sometimes an arrogant and conceited little fool.
Therefore, he would not touch any happy memories related to Snape or James.
However, now they have all stepped over the memories that store James's body and deciphered the Potter mansion, and surfaced in their minds.
Although he could only recognize the Marauders gang, it wasn't appropriate to joke around with other people. His ill-fated relationship with Snape made him the only one who didn't think there was anything wrong with them disciplining Snape.
But deep down, he still felt a little guilty.
As a result, Sirius abandoned his idea of causing trouble for Snape.
Dumbledore, who was working in an empty classroom next to the dean's office in the basement, with his eyes practically crossed, never saw Sirius.
Similarly, Sirius, who subconsciously feels that being around Basil reminds him of more memories with James, is also a subconscious presence.
I started to enjoy chatting with him.
The reason is that Basil has a relaxing quality that Draco needs.
To this, Basil can say is "Get lost."
If he's still short of money, he might deliberately try to get closer to Sirius, that rich bastard.
But now, who cares?
Moreover, although it is surprising.
Basil was still a little embarrassed when facing his future stepson, Draco.
Sirius always had Draco by his side.
However, his reason for ignoring Sirius wasn't just because of Draco.
These days, Riddle has been running around outside.
While preparing the food, medicine, gold, and backpacks enchanted with the Undetectable Extension Charm needed for their journey to another world, they are also handling the Malfoy family's business.
To prevent anyone from bullying his master— Basil Granger's future lover.
Therefore, Basil inevitably devoted more of his energy to Riddle.
For this reason, he even put aside the experiment of temporarily removing the "Sorcery Doctor" title to test the "Shadow of Obsidian's " ability to withstand the strong negative emotions brought about by "Killing Intent" and "Killing Intent".
After deducting their own entertainment and socializing with friends, they have much less energy left.
There is no extra space allocated for Sirius.
Moreover, Sirius seems to be seen as a tragic hero now. His handsome appearance and elegant demeanor, which is inconsistent with his husky-like personality, attract many students to watch.
Given that Basil was already very popular, the two of them together would be a nightmare for Basil.
Fortunately, today is the Quidditch Final, Slytherin vs. Gryffindor.
The players would discuss tactics in the locker room.
Draco was not in the audience.
The same goes for Sirius.
He was looking for either Harry or Draco.
They wouldn't bother Basil in the stands.
The area around Basil is now packed with people.
There are no empty seats.
He could lean against Hermione's lap and leisurely watch the ever-changing clouds drift by.
Well, with his twin sisters Parvati and Padma behind him interacting with him, Hermione can't stay angry now.
I feel something's wrong and angry after we break up, but when I actually come back to them, I calm down again.
Reason told her something was wrong, and she then attributed it to love.
She was engaging in self-pity because she loved him too much to be angry with him.
The power of the Shadow of Obsidian is strong and powerful, truly strong and powerful!
"Basil," Hermione gently stroked his golden hair, "I won't be angry, but if you keep doing this, I might do something bad."
Basil felt a chill run down his spine.
A strange image appeared in my mind.
The beautiful faces of Parvati and Padma, who were smiling at him from behind, suddenly lost all color.
She was suspended in mid-air, only wrapped in a scarf.
On the right side of the bed, Hermione was laughing nervously, and it seemed as if a soul was howling from the tip of her wand.
In a daze, the world in my eyes returned to normal.
Hermione smiled gently.
Parvati and Padma held his hands and played a finger-counting game.
He stood up abruptly and pulled his hands away from the two men's.
Fear lingered in my heart, yet it could not spread under a strange force.
He casually told a few lies to explain his strange behavior.
He quickly initiated a 'voice' call to Riddle, who was shopping in Knockturn Alley and had casually knocked out several dark wizards, explaining everything that had just happened.
"Your magic power has surpassed 7, right?" Riddle's wand twirled, emitting a red light behind him. "I don't know the exact figures. But your magic power, relative to your age, physique, and will, is excessively high. From what I perceive, your Magic Field is more dynamic and better able to transmit your emotions outward."
He waved his wand again, and the shop opened.
A sound like knocking came from inside.
Stepping over the unconscious wizard's body, Riddle walked deeper into the cave, ignoring the withered hands, the ornate Opal Necklace, the chains emanating a dark aura, and other strange objects. He continued, "That is to say, words have more impact. Harry Potter is different from you. Although his scale is 10, his proportion relative to the container holding magic is a normal value."
He waved his wand again. A black leather case with silver clasps burst open the cabinet door.
It flew into Riddle's hands.
"Yes, this is it. The final work of the famous alchemist Gregory —'World in World in a Box '. My lord, the backpack is ready."
He ignored the crackling sounds, like gunshots, coming from outside the street.
Before the Auror could manifest, he vanished into thin air with the box.
He reappeared in the Chamber of Secrets at the bottom of Loch Ness.
The surroundings were filled with colorful Potions, drinks, food, spare clothes, and gold.
"Let's continue with our previous topic. A wizard with an infectious way of speaking, I'm not referring to rhetoric or voice, but rather an innate leadership quality (we'll exclude Sybill Trelawney here; her family's Heavenly Eye was so outstanding that it was cursed, causing them to lose their persuasive qualities and become more like charlatans or frauds than Seer)."
"They often also possess Heavenly Eye, which means the ability to occasionally see the future."
"Grindelwald is one of the best among them."
"It's clear that what you just saw was the future. The future after the misuse of the [Inspire] ability."
