Chapter 243 Team Leader
·
Yi Yang Shi Ming Yue
When the news of the investigation team spread, many people came to Umbridge's office. After a quick glance, they were basically from Slytherin.
At the door, one person was standing in a daze, and two others were standing behind him at a loss.
"Are we really going to do this?" Crabbe looked a little embarrassed, he looked at Draco who was thinking about something for a while, and then turned his eyes to Goyle.
Hearing Crabbe's words, Draco tilted his head, his face was expressionless, but his eyes were full of struggle, and his Adam's apple kept rolling up and down.
"So what, this is an action team established by senior investigators, let's show off!" Gore yelled at Crabbe, who was half a head shorter.
"Let's go." Draco's voice was a little hoarse, and they walked in.
After a while, a row of students and Filch stood neatly in Umbridge's office.
Filch, in particular, looked a little agitated.
Umbridge paced up and down with great satisfaction, watching the students who responded positively to her orders.
"You are all good students with ambitions. It is a great honor to join the investigation and action team. Now, I want to confer this honor on you personally."
She picked up a badge from the table and pinned it to the chest of the first student.
All the way to Draco, she said with a smile on her face: "I heard that Malfoy's performance in school is very good, so I appoint you as the team leader of the investigation operation team, and hope you can set an example."
The distinctive badge was pinned on Draco's chest, but his expression didn't fluctuate at all, let alone happy.
As he walked out of the office, with Goyle and Crabbe following him, Filch walked by and cast an angry glance at Draco's back.
"Don't tell me, this badge is heavy." Gore stroked the badge on his chest, as if wearing it would make him superior to others, and he wanted to show it to everyone with his chest up.
Draco stopped suddenly, and Goyle almost ran into him behind him.
He was about to ask a question, but he choked back when he saw Astoria across from him.
Astoria walked up to Draco slowly, his eyes shifted from his somewhat stiff face to the badge on his chest.
Her eyes were a little incredible, and when they moved to Draco's face, there was a hint of sadness.
"You know it."
"I……"
As soon as Draco opened his mouth, Astoria turned and ran away, and Draco's outstretched hand could only feel the stroke of her hair.
"Let's go, tell Professor Umbridge about Hall's organization first, and we will make a great contribution!" Goyle looked eager to try.
"Shut up!" Draco suddenly turned around and yelled at him, his pale face was somewhat ferocious.
He pointed at Gore, and the muscles on his face were twitching, "I don't allow any of you to tell this matter, otherwise, you can't even think about it!"
After speaking, Draco walked away in a hurry, and he ran, but he didn't see Astoria anywhere.
……
On the other side, Astoria directly found Hermione in the library, her eyes were slightly red when she came.
"What's wrong with you?" Hermione asked with concern, putting down her pen.
"I want to join you." Astoria shook his head and said directly.
Hermione looked at Astoria slowly, her appearance indicated that something was wrong.
"You and Draco..."
"It has nothing to do with him."
Hermione was about to write "I don't believe it" on her face, and she said it was okay just like her, how could Hermione believe it?
But Astoria obviously didn't want to say it, and Hermione didn't continue to ask.
But Hermione didn't refuse, she had told Astoria about this before, but Astoria didn't immediately agree.
In the afternoon, Hermione brought Astoria to the Room of Requirement.
"Hey, Astoria. Why didn't Draco come?" Ron led a group of people into the Room of Requirement, just in time to see Astoria.
Astoria smiled reservedly, but her face was a little unnatural.
"Draco he..."
"Big news, big news!", Fred and George began yelling as soon as they entered the Room of Requirement.
They ran here directly, and then saw Astoria with strange eyes.
"You know the investigative action team."
"Guess who the team leader is."
Eli smiled at them and said, "You two, stop being a fool, talk about it."
Fred and George glanced at Astoria while talking, Astoria turned pale.
"Malfoy!"
"Draco Malfoy!"
"What?" Ron yelled, "Did you see that?"
"seen it myself."
"That henchman of his wants to spread the word."
Several people looked at each other, and then looked at Astoria in unison.
Hermione walked up and put her arms around Astoria's shoulders, "Don't look at me like that."
"Is she here as an undercover agent?" Ron muttered with a strange expression.
"Shut up." Hermione glared at him.
"I'm not here to be an undercover agent..." Astoria was a little anxious, and the circles of her eyes turned red again.
The surrounding students all looked at this side, and the whole room was extremely quiet.
"Everyone knows Malfoy is her boyfriend, we're done." Someone said.
"I really didn't come to report on you..." Astoria was about to cry, her little face turned paler.
Ginny also came over and stood on Astoria's right.
Although Astoria came from a pure-blooded nobleman, his heart was surprisingly kind, and it was also because Draco, Hermione, and Ginny had a good relationship with Astoria.
Although they don't know it very well, they believe that Astoria will not do such a thing.
It's just that Draco's behavior really made them incomprehensible.
"Don't talk about it, I invited her before. If she wanted to report on us, she would have already reported on us."
Hermione said loudly, and finally no one continued.
"We all believe in you, but can you talk about Draco first?" Eli tried his best to make his voice soft enough, and he waved his hand to cut off the sound.
Hermione patted Astoria on the back lightly to keep her from getting excited, but whenever Astoria mentioned Draco, tears couldn't stop flowing.
"Help him, help him..."
"Don't worry, don't worry, you tell us what happened first, so we can help him, right?" Hermione comforted softly.
Astoria sobbed, "It's all because the mysterious man is back, Uncle Malfoy... Uncle Malfoy has taken refuge in the mysterious man, and he also asked Draco to continue contacting you..."
Several people looked at each other, "Then why did he choose to join the action team?"
"He hasn't spoken to me all semester."
"He didn't want this on purpose...he didn't want to...you know, he will inherit the Malfoy family in the future, he always wants to make his own choice, he doesn't want to contact you for the family's benefit..."
"So he simply turned to the mysterious man? Ha, Malfoy is a virtue." Ron said angrily.
At the door, one person was standing in a daze, and two others were standing behind him at a loss.
"Are we really going to do this?" Crabbe looked a little embarrassed, he looked at Draco who was thinking about something for a while, and then turned his eyes to Goyle.
