HP: Hogwarts Snake

[I’m so exhausted after five days of work. I can’t code anymore. I have to work overtime tomorrow. I guess I’ll make up for it the day after tomorrow/_\. I should post another chapter at the same time. Those of you who are following the update can read it together then.)

As soon as Della left, the dance with only a group of children became boring to Maggie. The only time she could get interested was when she looked at Dumbledore. Their eyes met several times, but in the end there was no communication.

However, Lytia, who had not attended a British ball for a long time, had not yet had enough fun. Maggie was willing to make some polite concessions on such a trivial matter. Besides, there were two girls of similar age as Della around her, so they could chat and infer Della's current adolescent condition.

"Are you used to staying here?" Maggie habitually looked at Annika who was in more contact.

"It's okay, sir. Now I often go out with my father and I'm used to being outside." Annika replied without any abnormality, but her hands on her knees suddenly clenched.

"And I'm very happy that I have the opportunity to go to school after graduation." Maria looked at Maggie with a vague and obsessed look on her face.

Maggie looked at the two sisters with dark hair and similar features, but different eye colors, and could easily read the caution in Annika's black eyes and the admiration in Maria's blue eyes.

It's really strange, Maggie thought, he doesn't seem to be liked by smart people. People with decent brains only look at him with fear. On the contrary, those who are naive, simple, and immersed in their own world will approach him.

"You graduated?" Maggie asked, giving people a very friendly feeling. "The last time Meldan brought you to me as a dance partner, he said you came with your classmates."

"This is the last time we hang out after graduation," Maria smiled, her watery blue eyes drooping in embarrassment, "Now they are all working, and I am still at home..."

"Nowadays, working in a newspaper is also a job," Maggie said to give the other person a way out, but in fact she just didn't want to prolong the topic any further, "and it's good to have the free time and money to improve yourself."

"You are such a gentle and gentleman, Mr. Riddle." Maria's eyes became visibly brighter as she looked at Maggie, and Annika on the side became anxious.

Ever since she knew what her uncle's family was planning, Annika had talked to her sister directly about this topic, telling her implicitly from all aspects about Maggie's horror and cruel methods, but Maria only shuddered briefly, and that shudder quickly turned into admiration for strength.

After that, when she repeatedly stressed those things to her sister, her sister, who was close to her, even began to refute her, "What's the big deal? Didn't the Holt family act smart and cold when they gained wealth? The world is always dominated by the weak. It's okay as long as his cruelty is not directed at me, isn't it?"

Annika was shocked to hear such distorted words, and she had a fierce quarrel with Maria for the first time. After the two parted unhappily, she slapped Gillis Holt with a clear purpose, because she knew without thinking that this guy must be brainwashing her sister.

But what's the point of quarreling and venting anger? Maria was still thinking about her Mr. Riddle. The big and small foxes also took action secretly, and she was not cruel enough. After Maria hesitated for a few more days, she brought her to Hogwarts.
