HP: Hogwarts Snake

The trio crawled out of the fireplace right under the noses of the Riddle siblings.

Upon receiving the news, Della deliberately turned off most of the lights in the front hall to create a dim environment conducive to their clandestine activities.

It only turned off most of them. When she and Maggie lived in their ordinary little house, the lights were normally turned off, but the manor naturally had a luxurious feel to it.

In the manor, no matter how many lights are turned off, there must always be enough light for someone to walk around at night; this is called thoughtfulness and decorum.

"What do you think they'll do?" Maggie sat lazily in her chair, propping her face up as she looked at the cautious trio through the snake's eyes.

"Let me think. First, there are no other guests in the manor, and second, I have not hired any servants."

Della leaned back on the sofa, head tilted back, elbows raised, pinching her brow to relieve drowsiness, and continued the conversation in line with Maggie's topic.

"In the end, the only living people left in the entire manor besides us are your fiancée and sister-in-law."

“Yes, that’s all we have,” Maggie said, pursing her lips. “It’s already a struggle for me to take the first step toward the responsibilities of marriage, and to do a ritual with mannequins would drive me crazy.”

"You're going?" Della paused, her hand rubbing her temples. "What, are you going to give it as a gift to your wonderful father who helped arrange the marriage tomorrow?"

“Of course not,” Maggie waved his hand, staring at the trio’s figures and noticing that they had indeed gone to the second floor where Sheena was, seemingly without any clue. “I just want to make sure my fiancée doesn’t run into any trouble. It’s okay to lose face, but not too much.”

"What are you going to do?" Della asked coldly, her gaze fixed on him.

“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t do anything rash,” Maggie said, handing his wand to Della. “I just want my fiancée to be my fiancée tomorrow.”

Della didn't refuse Maggie's wand. She twirled the wand slightly and said, "I'll go instead."

"Compared to your future husband, do you think your future sister-in-law can reassure a woman's heart more?" Maggie smiled.

Della paused, then nodded slightly, finally giving in. "I'll stay here and observe the situation, just in case."

You can observe the situation or anyone else.

Maggie sensed the threat in those words, but thinking that Harry and the others still held some status with Della, she shrugged and left indifferently.

Let him care if he cares; after all, he's the only one who didn't face the death penalty after stepping on a landmine.

I've known Della for ten years, and it wasn't for nothing that we spent time together.

Maggie's mindset gradually stabilized, to the point that she could even find joy in being targeted and ignored, and her obsession with Della had reached an even more bizarre level.

Della could see the snake's twisted pleasure, but she just watched coldly, believing that her indifference towards Maggie was a sign that she had actually let go of the past.

Thus, the feelings and conclusions between the two, whether intimate or distant, contradict each other.

So what's the real situation?

That's a matter of opinion.

However, both Riddles are too individualistic; once they've made up their minds, they probably won't care what others think.

After Maggie left, Della continued to watch the trio's furtive movements in the hallway, until they discovered the room with the child's bag hanging on the doorknob.

This is actually Sheena's room, but Beretta's children's room isn't ready yet, and the two sisters need someone to look after them since they just arrived, so they're staying together temporarily.

According to the invitation list, their cousin Ma Xin will be joining them tomorrow. No matter how hard they work, they still have to attend their cousin's engagement ceremony.

Muggles... you should also take some personal security measures.

As Della pondered her own thoughts, she watched the trio hesitate before the pink children's bag. They looked around, seemingly wanting to find any obvious signs of life to replace someone else, rather than disturbing a child.

But there was nothing more. Hermione, who was always the most meticulous, shook her head at Harry and Ron. They hesitated for a few more seconds before finally reaching for the doorknob on the children's bag.

Della held her breath and quickly cut off the snake's eye in the sisters' room, wanting to see how Sheena, who was playing with her younger sister, would react.

She never appreciated Sheena enough, feeling that Sheena Perea's gains and losses were too passive, but fate ultimately bound her to the most despicable person.

Therefore, it would be best for Sheena to reveal some sharpness beyond her naivety, otherwise the hardships of life will be difficult for her to endure.

Could tomorrow's grand event be sweet?

No, it was the grand stage where Voldemort beat Maggie.

This also means that Sheena will have to face the insults along with her, and accept them on important occasions during her marriage. She must at least endure them, and then let them go, and ideally, even make use of them.

This is also beneficial to her marriage; a smart person is more likely to be liked by her husband.

Maggie is willing to pretend now, but whether he takes responsibility or not is not something that has been verified.

Just like Della's attitude towards Belinda before their marriage, even the most sincere vows of eternal love can always find loopholes.

And those loopholes, because their escape routes are blocked too much, often cause greater harm.
