Chapter 188 Difficult
Hermione stood there, speechless for a long time.
The doubts that had churned in his heart countless times now swept over him with overwhelming force, and the repeated calls of Granger were like a chasm, deeply separating the two of them.
Thea, lying in her dorm room, was unaware of the disagreements among the three.
Fighting off the belated illness consumed eighty percent of Thea's energy, and she devoted the remaining twenty percent to observing the movements of others.
Including Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall, and the rest of the Slytherin family...
There was nothing she could do. She was really unsure whether they would take the opportunity to stab her in the back. Even if the probability was low, she didn't want to hand over all the initiative to them...
"Thea...Professor McGonagall has approved your leave..."
Leave exceeding one week requires the vice principal's signature.
"Thank you, Daphne."
Thea struggled to sit up and thanked the other person, but was helped back to bed in a few steps.
"My goodness, you'd better lie still! If your wound reopens, Theodore will fight me to the death!"
Daphne jokingly revealed this chilling truth.
No one expected that the wound on Thea's arm would reopen!
This is understandable, since with Bai Xian around, cases of wounds reopening are extremely rare.
Thea lowered her eyelashes. She wasn't surprised by this; she had thought of it the moment she opened her hand.
Although the pain was somewhat torturous, it was nothing compared to the benefits it brought.
"How are things going with Potter and the others?"
At this point, Daphne's smile turned to confusion. "It seems like the three of them are having a falling out. Granger is alone, and the other two are ignoring her."
Thea understood; Potter must have told Granger and the others about what happened that day...
Do you know why?
Daphne shook her head. "I don't know. I heard that the three of them went out for a while and came back like this."
Do you know the location?
"I don't know."
"Okay, thank you, Daphne!"
Thea smiled, unaware that her already pale face combined with that smile was incredibly lethal.
Daphne clutched her chest, suppressing her soft heart.
Seeing that the other person was about to leave, Thea hurriedly instructed, "Oh, by the way, please call Pansy for me. I just asked her to borrow a few books from the library for me."
How can you read a book looking like that?
Daphne almost blurted it out, but in the end she obediently went down.
It seems I'll have to tell Pansy not to borrow too many books in the future; Thea's health can't handle it.
"Come in!"
Hearing the knock on the door, Thea said lazily.
After gesturing for the other person to place the book on the bedside table, Thea kindly invited them to sit in front of her bed.
Pansy sat down carefully.
"Who did Daphne go to Gryffindor to find out the information from?"
Pansy said without changing her expression, "She went to see Raymond at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, talked to Benny for a while at five o'clock, and went to the Quidditch pitch this morning and ran into Ginny Weasley."
Thea thought back to these people and nodded noncommittally.
"What's the situation with Porter?"
Pansy, without changing her expression, told Thea the news she had found out.
Thea also asked Daphne the same question she had just asked her.
After asking all the questions, Thea then had the other party call over a Slytherin girl.
Pansy agreed without any surprise, since this had been the procedure for the past few days.
After meeting several girls, Thea finally collapsed onto the bed, utterly exhausted.
If the wound hadn't been so slow to heal, she wouldn't have gone through such a troublesome process to verify the authenticity of her information.
Thea didn't rest for long. Besides ensuring her communication channels remained open, she also had to focus on her studies.
If Thea hadn't gotten first place in this exam, she really couldn't have imagined that Voldemort would give her a few Cruciatus Curses.
After skillfully administering the potion, Thea began her review for the day.
Thea's leave of absence this time is all the way until the exam, a review week plus two weekends, which is enough to embolden those ambitious young wizards at Hogwarts to compete with Thea for first place!
As for Hermione, who has consistently ranked second, according to insiders, even Professor McGonagall reminded her in class not to get distracted!
That's great!
The first illness is nothing to worry about!
How could they not seize such a golden opportunity!
Helene also entered a state of excitement. According to her roommate, Helene had been talking in her sleep for several days in a row about defeating Thea and winning first place!
No one was surprised; Ravenclaw truly lived up to his reputation as the most Slytherin-like Ravenclaw!
The young wizards' eagerness naturally caught the attention of Draco and his companions.
Draco scoffed at their ambition, "Without Thea and Granger, they think they can compete for first place? Dream on!"
That being said, the young master's rare quality is that he doesn't just outwardly display peacock-like pride, but actually intends to shatter everyone's illusions with his actions.
Zabini and the others also tacitly planned to work hard in private, and that they would fill in even if Thea was not around!
The glory of Slytherin is never the responsibility of one person alone!
"They all think that the number one spot this year will be taken by someone else?"
Thea looked at Daphne in surprise.
Daphne suppressed a laugh and said, "Yes, there are even betting games in Gryffindor about who will be number one."
"It really is Gryffindor!"
Thea gave a compliment, then asked, "Is Dumbledore really not at school?"
"No, Professor McGonagall said it herself. She accidentally let it slip during Transfiguration class."
"Oh."
Thea was very puzzled, but she didn't show it on her face.
Who is Professor McGonagall?
How many years has he followed Dumbledore through thick and thin? How many years has he held the position of vice-principal?
Would such a shrewd person let something slip?
Thea absolutely refused to believe it!
Kexia asked several people in a row, and they all gave the same answer.
Thea: "…………"
Could it be that they've teamed up?
That doesn't make sense! I picked people randomly!
Besides, do they really have the guts to hide it from me?
Having eliminated all the impossibilities, Thea had no choice but to believe this answer.
Can………
Something still doesn't feel right...
Things seemed to go wrong ever since the match ended...
Thea had prepared herself for Dumbledore and the others' interrogation, but so far, apart from Snape's increasingly cold attitude, Thea had faced almost no restrictions!
Even though she had asked for such a long leave, Professor McGonagall, who was always wary of her, surprisingly approved the leave very readily…
In addition, Dumbledore left the school...
Thea couldn't help but suspect that something was really wrong with them...
Could it be...
A guess slowly formed in Thea's mind, a guess that could explain everything that was wrong, but was also incredibly absurd...
