Chapter 117

Devereux stretched and yawned as he walked out of the History of Magic classroom.

He turned to the Gryffindor trio following behind him.

"Sometimes I think Fred and George's inventions are really useful, like... in History of Magic lessons."

The three giants reacted differently to this.

Harry nodded in agreement.

Hermione frowned, obviously not understanding the latest invention of the Weasley twins, and then warned coldly.

"Devereux, skipping classes is absolutely not allowed! Even if we are not from the same college, you have to be careful. Not only will you be deducted points for maliciously skipping classes, you may even be expelled!"

Devereaux waved his hands, not taking Hermione's words to heart at all.

Ron on the side was confused and asked, scratching his head.

"What are you talking about?"

Harry asked in surprise.

"Huh? George and the others didn't tell you that they had made something that could be used to...well...anyway, it doesn't have to go to class on time. They told me the day before yesterday, didn't you know?"

Then Harry whispered to Ron about the skip ball.

Ron's face suddenly turned purple.

"What! Fred and George never gave it to me!"

said Ron, furious.

"I'm their younger brother!"

Devereaux couldn't hold his tongue after hearing this.

younger brother?

Why do I feel that in the original novel, any good things the twins get are given to their younger brother Harry first.

What about cousin Ron?

Maybe this is a Weasley family tradition.

After all, Molly seems to be like this too.

Hermione on the side stared helplessly at Harry and Ron, who were having a heated discussion on how to use the skip ball to perfectly "get out" of the History of Magic class, and muttered.

"You two are simply...incomprehensible."

Devereaux was a little moved when he heard this.

After all, Professor Binns' class... is really...

"From what George said, they still got inspiration from Devereux and I lying in the hospital all the time."

Harry scratched his head.

I guess I don’t want such behavior to inspire others.

But such a strange reason seemed to make Ron less angry.

Then, several people went to the auditorium to have lunch.

In the restaurant, they met Adrian, and the five of them squeezed into a table.

As Devereaux bit into a piece of lamb pie, his eyes were caught by a scene in the distance.

Draco Malfoy stood in front of the dining table with a serious expression, his eyes scanning back and forth among the piles of food, like a general reviewing his army.

However, not long after, he frowned, turned around and hurriedly left the restaurant without taking anything.

"What is this guy doing again?"

Devereaux frowned and turned to ask Adrian, who was sitting next to him.

"Hey, has Malfoy done anything strange recently? During the time I was away."

Adrian was "fighting" with a piece of bacon. When he heard this, he raised his head and thought about it seriously:

"Strange behavior? Not really. It's just that after he came back from Hogsmeade, he seems to prefer to be alone. Do you remember that he used to be always accompanied by two strong guys with strong limbs and simple minds, right? Now All gone."

After saying that, he swallowed the stubborn piece of bacon in one gulp with satisfaction, looking relaxed.

At this time, Ron came over and said mysteriously:

"I feel like Malfoy has been acting like he has discovered some secret passage lately."

As soon as this was said, everyone showed surprised expressions.

"Why do you say that?"

Devero raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

Ron looked at everyone proudly, as if he suddenly became the center of attention.

He picked up the pumpkin juice calmly, pretending to think deeply, and took a slow sip.

Hermione's eyes became increasingly dangerous and she kicked him directly under the table.

Ron was in pain and quickly expressed the basis of his judgment:

"When George and Fred discovered the secret passage at Hogwarts last Christmas, they were like this at home—mysterious and anxious."

Devereux listened thoughtfully.

And Harry asked.

"Then Ron, do you know any secret passages in our school?"

Ron's face turned purple again.

"No, I just said that they never told me anything. I am their biological brother!"

After lunch it's lunch break.

Devereux chose to spend this time using meditation.

He sat cross-legged on the bed in the dormitory, closed his eyes, and quietly adjusted his breathing, and his perception gradually spread.

Now, his range of perception can cover the entire Slytherin lounge, including the movement in the boys and girls dormitories.

However, Devereaux was an upright man and never thought of using his ability to do anything extraordinary.

He always focused on meditation and spiritual practice.

But in the process, he discovered something strange.

Draco Malfoy did not return to the common room during the entire lunch break.

"Where did this guy go?"

Devereux frowned, feeling something was wrong.

Thinking of Marcus' past situation, he couldn't help but become more vigilant.

The Malfoy family is a pure-blood family with a tradition of dark wizards. If Malfoy is really corrupted or controlled by some kind of black magic, it may be a big hidden danger in the school.

"We have to find a chance to find out what he is up to."

Deverot decided secretly in his heart.

With these thoughts, time quickly came to the afternoon.

The afternoon Herbology class was attended with the fifth-year students. This class was calm and nothing strange happened.

But Deverot found that almost all students dared not look him in the eye since some time.

I heard that there was a rumor recently.

"Deverot only needs to look into your eyes to see your thoughts clearly."

In response, Deverot could only secretly hold his forehead, helpless and funny.

"Although I do know Legilimency, it's not so exaggerated, right? Not to mention, it can't be done without the help of a wand!"

In class, when Professor Sprout asked a question, Deverot gave an accurate answer and won 20 points for Slytherin.

The whole afternoon was calm.

At present, he has no specific ideas about Malfoy.

He plans to try to use Transfiguration to create a substitute later.

Then he went to class for me during the day.

Then Deveraux followed Malfoy.

To see what he did.

In the evening, after dinner, Deveraux prepared to continue working "illegally" for Professor Snape.

"I hope I can have a peaceful night."

He muttered to himself, packed his things, and set out on the road to the underground classroom.
