Malfoy lied to Snape and even blatantly refused to use Cerebral Occlusion.
This was a huge change in attitude. No student in the school dared to speak to Snape so blatantly.
No matter how disgusted they were, they had to maintain the most basic courtesy and listen to Snape's orders.
This was a student's duty. Even Harry did not dare to go against Snape like this because he would definitely be retaliated against.
Especially for Malfoy, this change was even more shocking.
One had to know that he was very respectful towards Snape previously.
It seemed that becoming a Death Eater under the influence of Lord Voldemort could indeed change a person's personality.
"I only want to do it myself!" Malfoy said again with the same bad attitude.
"Do it yourself? That's why you've been avoiding me this semester? Are you afraid that I'll interfere? " Snape asked. "You have to know, Draco, if it were someone else, I would've asked them to come to my office many times and they didn't …"
"Put him in detention! Report to Dumbledore! "Malfoy sneered.
The conversation paused for a while before Snape said, "You know very well that I don't want to do these things."
"Then you'd better not ask me to go to your office again."
"Listen to me." Snape lowered his voice even more. "I want to help you."
"Help me?" Malfoy sneered. "Just say it. I don't trust you. You want to steal my credit!"
"What nonsense!" The conversation paused for a while again. Snape said coldly, "You talk like a child, Draco. I understand that your father's imprisonment has upset you, but you're not a child anymore. I sincerely want to help you. For your parents' sake, I swore to your mother to protect you. "
"I don't believe in a non-binding oath and I don't need your protection. This is my job. He gave it to me and I'm doing it. I have my own plan and it will succeed. It's just that it's taking longer than I expected! "
"What's your plan?"
"None of your business!"
"I told you, if you tell me, I can …"
"You can help me, yes, but I also said that I don't need your help. I already have enough helpers, thank you. I'm not alone! "
"There's no doubt that you're alone tonight. This is extremely foolish. Wandering the corridors without sentries or backup is a low-level mistake …"
"Crabbe and Gower were supposed to follow me, but you grounded them!"
"Be quiet!" Snape warned as Malfoy raised his voice in agitation. "Why would I put them in confinement? If your friends, Crabbe and Gaul, want to pass the Defense Against Dark Magic exam this semester, they have to put in more effort!"
"So what if I can't pass? Defense against black magic? We all knew it was a joke and the class was worthless. You're willing to teach it just for show, right? As if any of us really needs Defense Against Dark Magic … "
"It's a show, but it's also a show that's crucial to success, Draco!" Snape said. "If I didn't know how to act, where do you think I would be all these years? Listen to me! You've disappointed me too much. You're not cautious enough to be suspected. You wandered around at night and were caught red-handed. Also, if you really intend to rely on helpers like Crabbe and Gower … "
"It's not just them. I have others around me, stronger people!" Malfoy raised his voice again, as if he wanted to prove himself. "I told him my plan and he supported me. He arranged stronger helpers for me."
There was another long silence, longer than all the previous ones combined.
One could imagine that at this moment, Snape was absolutely shocked as he looked at Malfoy.
"You told him? He agreed to your plan? "he asked in disbelief, forgetting to lower his voice.
"Of course. This is the job he gave me. He trusts me."
"Very good. It seems that you're smarter than I thought, Draco," Snape said, returning to his usual tone.
"At least you're not a fool or a child," Malfoy said. "I'll succeed, as long as you don't hold me back."
The conversation inside was over. Elwyn, Harry and Hermione hurriedly stepped back. They were still digesting what they had heard and felt confused. There was a lot of hidden information. Only Elwyn felt better because he was mentally prepared.
But he didn't expect Malfoy to be so bold, and things seemed to be a little different from what he had imagined …
In a flash, Malfoy's footsteps sounded on the other side of the door.
With a bang, the door was opened and Malfoy strode down the corridor.
He passed by the open door of Slughorn's office and disappeared around the corner without stopping.
After another minute or so, Snape slowly walked out of the classroom, his expression unreadable.
He glanced at where Elwyn, Harry and Hermione were hiding and went back to the party.
After eavesdropping on the conversation between Snape and Malfoy, no one's mind was on the Christmas party at all.
Elwyn's original plan to take Hermione to do something private between the two of them fell through because Hermione was just as excited.
The three of them discussed the conversation for a long time in the empty classroom, mainly with Harry speaking first.
After figuring out some common issues, Harry began to guess that he was really talented in this area.
Because his guesses, as long as they were about Malfoy, were mostly accurate according to the information Elwyn had.
Until they couldn't talk anymore, they decided to go back to sleep.
At this time, the party was almost over. Elaine, Corin, Luna, and Ginny had already gone back.
Elwyn felt a little regretful. Looking at Hermione who was dressed up, he shouldn't have eavesdropped on the conversation with her.
The atmosphere tonight was actually quite good, but tomorrow was the Christmas holiday, so there would always be opportunities during the holiday.
When they said good night to each other in the empty common room, Hermione took the initiative to kiss Elwyn.
It was very light, not under the mistletoe, and the surrounding environment wasn't so romantic, but it was still unforgettable.
Elwyn returned to the bedroom with a smile on his face. Thinking about how Hermione looked just now, he took off his robe and fell back on the bed.
This was actually not bad. Today was so tiring, and there was still Malfoy's conspiracy …
Wait, Elwyn felt that he touched something on the bed. Why was there someone lying on the bed?!
With the help of the cold moonlight, he saw a pair of lively wine-red eyes rapidly approaching him in the darkness.
The red eyes were very pure, and people couldn't help but fall into it.
There was also a slightly pouting, the same red lips quickly approaching Elwyn.
The small mouth opened, revealing two sharp canine teeth with a sweet candy taste.
