HP has a villain system but has become a popular character

Chapter 240 Staying Overnight

Heavy, rapid breathing echoed in the empty corridor, and disorderly footsteps woke up the portraits hanging on the wall.

Before they could see who was making so much noise in the night, the figure disappeared from their sight.

Wenxiu Lord clutched the open collar in front of him, his hurried steps were a little unsteady, and it was obvious that he had just experienced something that left him with no strength.

His clothes were full of wrinkles, and the hem of his shirt, which should have been hidden in his pants, was exposed. Occasionally, when he ran too fast, a small section of his fair skin would be exposed.

The boy ran towards the Slytherin dormitory, with a daze still in his eyes and his lips swollen beyond recognition.

It was not until he approached the cellar door that Wenxiu Lord suddenly realized that he seemed unable to return to the dormitory in this state.

He slowed down his hurried steps and decided to find a place to tidy up his messy self.

It was now long past curfew, and in order to avoid being caught by the night watchers Filch and the prefects, Vince Lord slipped into the nearest empty room.

This place doesn't even seem to be an abandoned classroom. The room is empty and the ground is covered with dust. It's hard to tell how thick the dust is. If you step on the soft ground, you can leave a deep footprint.

There was too much dust here, and Wenxiu Lord couldn't breathe deeply. He held the wand in his palm and waved it. A mirror fell into his palm as the spell went on.

The mirror was enlarged and floated in the air. Only then could Wenxiu Lord see clearly how miserable he was.

Her face was stained red, perhaps from exercise or some other reason that refused to fade, her lips were bright red as if they were dyed with cherries, and the exposed skin on her body was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

The headband behind her back had long disappeared, and her long hair was scattered in a mess. The hair close to her skin was still stuck to her neck, and there were a few wet strands on her forehead.

Anyone who saw it would be able to guess what his body had just been through.

'You can't just go back like this.'

Seeing himself like this, the boy's delicate skin turned even redder, and the ripe pink could be seen under the open collar.

Slowly calming his breathing, Wenxiu Lord reached out and began to tidy up his clothes.

He didn't know where his tie had been torn off and thrown away. Now he could only button his shirt and smooth out the wrinkles on his clothes.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual about the clothing, Wenxiu Lord took out a gold galleon from the space and turned it into a headband.

His thick, smooth long hair had always been taken care of by Severus. After being tied up twice, it was still loose and could not be restored to the way it was before he left.

Angrily letting the headband loosely entangled in his hair, Wenxiu Lord raised his hands to rub his burning face.

Due to the fast running, the boy's palms were no longer dry, and they felt a little wet and sticky when they touched his cheeks. Wenxiu Lord simply raised his wand and drenched himself with clear water like a spring.

Now the heat on his face disappeared, and the uncomfortable sticky feeling after sweating was gone. After the drying spell, he was cleaned up again. When he walked out of the room with the Disillusionment Spell on, the only thing that could be seen about the boy was a few strange signs through his swollen and red lips.

When he thought about having to go back and face Severus's interrogation and the possibility of getting into trouble again, Wenxiu Lord felt that tomorrow would be particularly difficult.

Tomorrow is a full day of classes. After being tormented by Sirius and the other two, the silver-haired boy will have to tormented by Severus again when he goes back. The silver-haired boy feels that he will definitely be severely deducted points for sleeping in class tomorrow.

"Why don't we go and ask Regulus to stay with us for one night?"

As soon as this thought came into Wenxiu Lord's mind, he could never get rid of it.

"I just wonder if Regulus is resting now."

Walking through the common room and into the corridor of the men's dormitory, Wenxiu Lord stood at the door, struggling with the issue of where to stay tonight.

It was already late at night, and Regulus had already laid down on the bed and fallen into a light sleep. At this moment, the young man, who had originally closed his eyes and was breathing steadily, opened his eyes.

The detection magic detected that the person he was thinking about was lingering at his door.

Regulus stood up decisively, without any sluggishness after just waking up. He reached out to pick up the coat hanging on the hanger and put it on. With magic flowing through the tip of his wand, he opened the closed notebook on the desk.

The boy was only a dozen steps away from the door, but his mind was full of thoughts.

The door was opened, and he saw Wenxiu Lord standing outside, still hesitating.

When the boy saw himself at this moment, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and his lips were slightly opened, not revealing the white teeth that should have been exposed.

His lips were swollen and the color was eroded red. If you press them lightly with your fingertips, they will feel swollen and hot.

Was it Snape who came to him in the middle of the night? Regulus's eyes were fixed with aggression and churning acid.

The sudden opening of the door startled Wenxiu Lord. He took a half step back and then a look of joy appeared on his face.

"It's so late, Regulus, haven't you rested yet?"

Regulus half turned aside and said, "Well, come in first," and closed the door after Wenxiu Lord walked into the room.

He followed closely behind the silver-haired boy, his body only one step away from touching the body in front of him, "I was still reading my notes, and when I heard the sound and opened the door, I saw you."

The four founders had set up a soundproofing spell so that people in the room could not hear any sound from outside except for knocking on the door.

It was a clumsy lie, but the silver-haired boy just nodded in understanding, completely unguarded against Regulus beside him.

"I want to stay at your place for one night today. Will it disturb your studies?"

It's not that he didn't want to persuade Regulus to rest early, but he was busy day and night and had no right to care about others.

He wasn't studying, so why bother interrupting him? Regulus shook his head and said, "No, I'm ready to rest too."

Taking off his coat, Regulus pretended to ask with concern, "Did Wenxiu and Severus have a fight?"

The boy in front of him had his back to him, so Regulus couldn't see the embarrassment on his face.

"No, I just got back and haven't talked to him yet."

Thinking of this question, Wenxiu Lord turned around and faced Regulus with his hands clasped together, his expression and tone showing a completely pitiful look.

"It's getting late. I want to take a shower first. Could you please tell Severus for me, Regulus?"

If Regulus didn't agree, he would have to go and talk to Severus fully armed.

The silver-haired boy was a head shorter than Regulus when he bent over. Regulus looked at his silver-gray eyes looking up at him, and when his gaze touched his tightly pursed lips, the fingers hanging at his sides trembled and curled slightly.

"it is good."

Regulus thought he could get a good night's sleep tonight.

Time passed by minute by minute, but the person who was supposed to be lying in bed resting never came back.

Severus became increasingly restless, and he didn't even bother to look at the potion in front of him.

Finally, he stopped processing the potion ingredients. Even though he had spent a long time preparing this potion and it would fail if he wasn't careful, he still chose to pause.

Thinking that it was already curfew, Severus put on his wizard robe and prepared to cast the Disillusionment Charm on himself.

Just as I was about to chant the spell, there was a knock on the door.

With his brows furrowed, Severus knew the person outside could not be Wenxiu Lord. He strode to the door and opened it with his hand. "Why is it you? Where is Wenxiu?"

In his sight, Regulus was standing at the door in pajamas and only a coat.

"Wen Xiu is taking a shower and will stay in my dormitory tonight."

Severus felt relieved to hear that Wenxiu Lord was fine, but he was still upset.

Something must have happened that made him afraid to come back and face me.

The message was conveyed, and Regulus turned and left. Looking at Snape's expression, Regulus believed that he did not have the habit of listening to his sarcastic curses.

He also had to go back to the dormitory to accompany his roommate whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
