Chapter 167 Being Tracked
The pre-Christmas class is always going to be a long way to go, plus it's still a sleepy Binns teaching History of Magic.Professor Binns didn't have any thoughts about Christmas, and he was still teaching the students. That's right, he would continue to teach even after he died. This ordinary Christmas holiday would not affect his teaching.
Halia saw many students in class exchanging excited glances, waiting for the get out of class to end.Although Professor Binns has no desire for vacation, the students are different.
Halia gave up her plan to stay at Hogwarts.Ravenclaw's diadem is no longer in its proper place.If she had stayed in the castle, she might have had to use some "extraordinary means" to find the diadem - like rummaging through other students' personal belongings?
But in this way, if Halia's behavior is discovered, there will be serious charges against her.Especially now that Umbridge is trying to take some chances and go after those who oppose her.
If Umbridge knew that Halia was rummaging through other students' personal belongings, he might take the opportunity to charge her with "theft".
Halia thought, what if Lordana was actually secretly working for Dumbledore while he disappeared?What if Lordana discovers something new?
And, Halia thought, maybe she could meet Fred and George back at the Burrow?If they were going back to the Burrow to get Mrs Weasley something.
Halia was thinking about it when she heard a commotion around her, and realized that today's last session of History of Magic was over.Following the other students out of the classroom, they saw on the way that many students who had no classes were carrying their suitcases towards the castle's porch.
Halia saw Hermione carrying the suitcase and stopped to say hello to her.Hermione had already packed her bags and was about to leave Hogwarts.According to Hermione, she will go skiing with her parents this Christmas.
After the two finished talking, Halia waved goodbye to Hermione, and she was going back to the dormitory to pack her things and spend Christmas with Lordana.
Halia couldn't help but wonder if Lordana would have spent Christmas at Fawcett's house alone in the past.Halia tried to imagine such a scene, and felt a little warm.He quickened his pace towards the bedroom.
When Halia packed her luggage and walked towards the castle foyer with her suitcase, where she was going to take a carriage to the station, she ran into Professor Snape.Because of the joy of the holiday, Halia greeted Professor Snape with a smile and wished Professor Snape a Merry Christmas.
Unexpectedly, Snape looked at her and snorted coldly, looking not very happy: "I wish you a happy Christmas holiday as well, ma'am." After Snape said this, he seemed to want to say more order something.
"Severus, you are here." Suddenly a sweet voice came from the staircase corridor next to it, and Umbridge in a pink coat walked up the stairs, looking at Snape and Haria Turned around.
"Severus, I didn't know you cared about students from other houses. According to my opinion and that of the minister, it is enough for Hogwarts to keep Slytherin as one house." Umbridge said to Snape , as if Halia next to her didn't exist.
Snape nodded to Umbridge: "Everything is under the arrangement of the minister and the senior investigator. I just went to see if all the Slytherin students got on the carriage leaving school." After finishing speaking, he headed towards the castle Go in the direction of the foyer.
Umbridge saw the back of Snape leaving, the smile on his face disappeared, and he snorted coldly.Then he seemed to notice that the person in front of him was: "Halia Malfoy?"
Halia didn't want to get too entangled with Umbridge, picked up the suitcase, greeted Umbridge in a low voice, and walked away quickly.
When Halia came to the village of Ottery St. Catchpole, she walked in the direction of Fawcett House.Along the way, he occasionally wondered whether Snape's "brains" had other meanings.Halia passed by the Burrow and saw that the outside was still crooked, but it was not as smokey as usual.
The Burrow was dark inside, not lit like the other houses.Occasionally, goblins jump out of the grass around the Burrow, and it looks like it hasn't been lived in for a long time.Halia stopped and looked in the direction of the Burrow a few more times.
When Halia picked up her luggage again and walked towards Fawcett's house, she found several wizards secretly following her behind her.Halia wasn't sure at first whether the people behind her were following her on purpose.
But when she deliberately bypassed the main road, walked around the small road behind other houses a few times, and walked back to the main road, she found that several wizards behind her were still following her. — Generally speaking, if they were going to take the main road, they would not follow Halia on the small road at all.
Halia was worried that she was being followed by Death Eaters, trying to see their faces or the wizard robes they were wearing out of the corner of their eyes.Halia quickened her pace and walked in the direction of Fawcett's house.But not long after she left, she worried that if the person behind her was really a Death Eater, would she bring danger to Lordana?
Halia hesitated, but she still didn't dare to slow down. She was even more worried about being followed by the wizard behind her.Halia weighed the feasibility and walked towards the center of the crowded village.
Probably because it was approaching Christmas, there were quite a few children playing in the heart of the magical village, and other wizards from the village picking things out from the vendors who set up their stalls.
Halia stayed in front of the vendors one by one for a while, and noticed from the corner of her eye that the wizard who followed her before had not left, but stayed in front of different vendors like her.
"Hi, I seem to be being followed." Halia said to a friendly-looking vendor in front of her, picking up an item from the stall, and it looked as if she was bargaining with the vendor from a distance.
The vendor followed Halia's eyes and saw strangers walking around in other stalls, but they looked at their own stalls from time to time.The vendor nodded: "Is there anything I can do to help?"
This well-meaning vendor is like a light in the dark to Halia, and Halia looked at the vendor in front of her gratefully: "Can you please go to the Fawcett House and find Lordana Fawcett? Invited me to her house for Christmas. Fawcett House is about twenty minutes from here..."
"But Fawcett House has been empty for a long time." The vendor interrupted Halia, but after seeing the surprised expression of the little witch in front of him, he quickly added, "Do you know anyone else here? You can also go to Floo back home to their family."
Hariya nodded and shook her head.The Weasleys at The Burrow were not home either, and their entire family should be in St. Mungo's or 12 Grimmauld Place by now.
