She smiled and thanked Ginny, then used her wide sleeve to cover the hand in which I held the Diary.
My body trembled.
Her body was trembling too, but she kept holding me.
She told me not to be afraid.
Leaning against her embrace, I cried, my tears falling one by one.
We supported each other as we made our way to the Hospital Wing, then came back out again.
She let out a soft sigh of relief.
When we returned to our dormitory, she looked at me angrily.
"How could you be so stupid? If Ginny Weasley goes back, she'll definitely realize you were the one who stole it!"
Of course I knew.
But Conte wanted to kill me.
And Ginny Weasley didn't dare reveal everything right now.

My eyes were red.

I burst into tears.

I'm sorry!
I couldn't believe it! Crying, I altered Hannah's memories, tears dripping without end.
I thought I must be a cold-hearted person.

I wanted everyone to see how clever I was. I wanted everyone to like me. But I only had one life, and I didn't dare gamble with it!
Even my own younger brother wanted to kill me, let alone anyone else!
Perhaps Darren was the only one in this
