Chapter 158 I have to wait for you even if I doze off (page 12)
"OK, arrange the brooms, and get out of class is over." Mrs. Huo Qi clapped her hands vigorously to direct, and her cat-like sharp eyes scanned around until she confirmed that all the teaching brooms had been returned to their original positions.
After class, Astoria said goodbye to Rosa and walked straight through the auditorium. She couldn't stop smelling the fragrant smell of dinner inside.
"Leah, have you had dinner?" A familiar voice came. Astoria looked down and saw Draco and Theodore walking upstairs at the corner of the stairs heading towards the basement.
"Um... not yet. Professor Snape asked me to go to the basement to find him in the afternoon." Astoria scratched her head and replied.
"Master Snape...I'll go with you." Draco murmured, wondering if he was thinking of something bad, his brows furrowed and his expression tense.
"Ah, but..." Astoria hesitated, her eyes inadvertently falling on the person who had been standing behind Draco without saying a word.
Theodore's blue eyes flashed slightly as he looked at Astoria and shrugged nonchalantly.
"I originally planned to finish it alone, but Draco was too slow."
"Okay, just eat as fast as you can." Draco snorted angrily, slapped Theodore hard on the back, and pushed him. Theodore didn't stay for more than a second, as if he was afraid of wasting his time, he turned around and left quickly.
"Let's go." Draco raised his chin, signaling Astoria to take action.
"Actually, you really don't have to accompany me." Astoria sighed helplessly, but still thanked Draco gratefully.
"You're welcome, Professor Snape is my godfather. Even if you do something wrong and he punishes you, I won't embarrass you in the name of the Malfoy family." Draco patted Astor casually. Leah's shoulder comforted her, and she was already starting to beat up her little Jiujiu in her heart.
If she had rescued Leah from Professor Snape, she might be more grateful to him, and she would definitely not refuse to try to become a dragon for him again. Even if it's not a dragon, it's okay to transform into a cool creature.
Staring at the slight upward curve of the corners of Draco's mouth in front of her and the cunning arc in his eyes, Astoria felt inexplicably moved. But if Leah knew what he was thinking in his heart, she would be so speechless that she would roll her eyes to the sky.
……
In the dimly lit basement, it was already late and it was difficult to see the surrounding environment clearly, so the sound of water dripping in my ears was particularly clear. Astoria felt a little cold for no reason and subconsciously shrugged.
Boom boom boom!
Astoria knocked lightly on the wooden door of Snape's basement. The next second, the door opened automatically as if blown by the dark wind, making a squeaking sound.
Well, maybe it was a good thing to have Draco around, and a deserted basement after dusk was a little too scary.
"Come in." Professor Snape's deep and rich voice rang out in the silent air. Astoria was so frightened that she immediately grabbed Draco's hand and walked carefully into Snape's office.
"Teach...Professor." Astoria's eyes touched Snape, but she saw Professor McGonagall in green robe standing next to him, her eyebrows were soft and she was watching her patiently.
call……
For some reason, Astoria's nervousness seemed to have eased a lot.
"Draco, why are you here?" Snape stared across Astoria's shoulder at Draco behind her.
"Professor, I...I..." Draco faltered. As expected, when faced with Professor Snape's cold eyes and expressionless questioning, he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.
well! The majestic eldest son of the Malfoy family is actually so afraid of his godfather.
Draco could feel the naked gaze from Astoria in his peripheral vision. He swallowed and mustered up the courage to pull Astoria behind him and look directly at Professor Snape to defend himself.
"Professor, Leah definitely didn't make a mistake on purpose. You don't need to punish her so seriously." Draco paused, glanced at Professor McGonagall, and had some guesses in his mind.
"And I've checked. The Metamorphosis Magus is natural. Does that mean Leah didn't do it on purpose? Professor -"
"Shut up, who said I came here to punish her." Snape rubbed his brow irritably, staring at Draco who was protecting Astoria with all his heart, and interrupted him with hatred.
"Mr. Malfoy, maybe you can leave first. I heard that the roast chicken tonight is very delicious." Professor McGonagall curled her lips slightly.
Although he did have other motives for Leah's identity as a Disguise Magus, seeing Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape gathered together with such serious expressions, he still subconsciously wanted to protect Leah.
"No, Leah -" Draco ignored Professor McGonagall's lobbying and continued to say something. At this time, Astoria squeezed his hand gently, her eyes telling him not to worry.
"Draco, don't worry, I'll be back soon." At Astoria's request, and with the coercion in Professor Snape's eyes, she still turned around and left.
Bang!
The wooden door closed, and Astoria was surrounded by two professors, feeling at a loss for some reason.
She raised her head, blinked, and turned her gaze to Professor McGonagall, who seemed to be more talkative. She frowned slightly in confusion.
"Miss Greengrass, I heard Snape say that you seem to be a Metamorphmagus, right?" Professor McGonagall bowed slowly and smiled gently at Leah, with wrinkles appearing at the corners of her eyes.
"I...I don't know either." Astoria blinked blankly and immediately shook her head vigorously in denial.
"Yes or no, we will know soon." Professor McGonagall turned to look at Snape, then turned back and smiled at Astoria.
Professor McGonagall waved her wand and muttered around Astoria for a while. Astoria felt that the situation was a little awkward for no reason, but there was nothing physically strange about her.
"Okay, Miss Greengrass. Maybe you can try to imagine turning into a rabbit in your mind."
As soon as Professor McGonagall finished speaking, Astoria slowly closed her eyes and started trying hard, but even though her brows were furrowed and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, it still had no effect.
"Sure enough, it's not very good." Professor McGonagall shook her head slowly, seeming to be a little hesitant about her guess.
"Although born metamorphomags are not restricted, they cannot arbitrarily transform into complete animals like animagus..."
"Try again, any form will do." Professor Snape ordered, staring directly at Astoria with his deep eyes.
"Okay..." Astoria hesitated, but still wanted to try again.
This time, her mind tried hard to recall creatures that could shape-shift, and she unconsciously thought of the white peacock of Malfoy Manor that Draco had described to her.
Those flawless white feathers and light red eyes. The most unique thing is that the white peacock has a pair of long antennae on its head. The color of the antennae is dark green, which is in sharp contrast to the white of the white peacock.
"Merlin!" Professor McGonagall couldn't help but exclaimed. What she saw in her surprised eyes were the long, curved, feathery and beautiful tentacles emerging from the girl's head.
