It must be said that as a young girl, Pansy's external conditions are quite good.
In the eyes of boys from pure-blood families, Pansy not only has an exquisite appearance, but also has a family background that is neither too big nor too small.
Even her cold face, which always seemed to be covered with a layer of metal, seemed to have a different kind of charm.
It’s not unusual for boys to like such a girl.
Therefore, if Pansy hadn't made it clear in front of everyone that she was obsessed with Draco, there might have been many Slytherin boys who wanted to pursue her.
In fact, Marcus Flint, who has now graduated from Hogwarts, secretly liked this elementary school girl in the past.
Now, when he heard Eluli say that Pansy was her friend, Marcus' first reaction was disbelief.
Because he had gotten to know the girl carefully in the years before graduation, and in his memory, Miss Parkinson was undoubtedly a typical pure-blood family descendant.
And how could a wizard who was proud of his pure blood become friends with a servant with "inferior blood" like Iluli
"You're cheating on me!"
Suddenly, Marcus slammed his palm on the iron gate, making a muffled "thud" sound.
"Otherwise, you deceived Miss Parkinson!"
Up to now, although Marcus still has a certain fondness for Pansy, he is not to the point where he still misses her. Rather than whether Iluli had deceived Pansy, what annoyed him more was actually the fugitive incident.
If Iluli was not actually the suspect who escaped from the Ministry of Magic dungeon, he couldn't easily send her away to take credit.
After all, using a fake suspect to convict the Ministry of Magic of his crime would only leave a bad impression on the Ministry of Magic officials.
"Listen! I will go to Miss Parkinson to confirm, and I will also tell her all about your life experience! Hum, I hope you are only deceiving me... If you are deceiving Miss Parkinson, I will definitely I can’t spare you!”
If Iluli just lied to Pansy, it means that she is most likely not a fugitive. And if that were the case, the opportunity Marcus had waited so hard for would have been completely ruined—could he not be angry
Listening to Marcus cursing and turning away after threatening her a few words, Iluli couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course she was not worried about Marcus asking Pansy, and she had long been accustomed to others' disdain for her bloodline.
At this moment, she just felt tired—not just physically, but also mentally.
Not long after Marcus left, the voice of the young master next door suddenly sounded again. He seemed to have been awakened by Marcus's trouble just now.
"Eluli, brother, why does he... seem to want you to be the fugitive from the Ministry of Magic?"
He has always been a little afraid of his arrogant brother. Because unlike his slightly introverted character, his eldest brother Marcus, like his mother, is not only overbearing, but also prone to swearing and even hitting others.
As a younger brother, he had been beaten several times before. It wasn't until his mother started to keep an eye on him to study that his brother Marcus couldn't take it out on his "cowardly and useless" brother.
Regarding the young master's doubts, Eluli didn't actually want to explain more, although after listening to Marcus's words, she could more or less make a guess.
"Well, yes! Why..."
She muttered faintly, and then fell into a helpless silence.
…
Early the next morning, a hazy light gradually emerged from the east, indicating that today might not be a sunny day.
In the Slytherin dormitory at Hogwarts, when the magic window cast the first ray of light into the dormitory, Miss Parkinson, who had been awake for a long time, suddenly opened her eyes.
Yesterday had not been an easy day for Pansy.
Especially the difficult decision in the end and the failure of the mission caused by her own hands put her under so much pressure that she couldn't sleep well tonight.
Yes, even though Maka seemed to have forgiven her, she still couldn't let go.
Because she only knew that if she could not follow Maka's requirements well, the promises Maka had made to her would not be fulfilled.
Therefore, she woke up from her sleep early this morning, and then she has been thinking about it with her eyes closed until now.
She wanted to know what she should do next to save this espionage mission that was most likely to be terminated.
But it was obvious that even Maka didn't have any good ideas at this moment, and it was even less likely that she would be able to come up with a solution if she thought about it on her own.
Gently lifting the quilt, Pansy got out of bed and started washing up with her increasingly depressed mood.
However, just when she came back from the bathroom and was sitting in front of the dressing table in the dormitory, combing her hair, there was a knock on the door of the dormitory.
"Miss Parkinson, Filch is looking for you and said that an owl sent you a letter early this morning."
Standing outside the dormitory door was a junior student from Slytherin House. He usually studied very hard and often went to the common room to preview homework before everyone else got up. Although Pansy also knew her, the two of them almost never spoke.
Seeing that the other party came specially to convey this matter, Pansy nodded immediately.
"Thank you, I understand."
If it were in the past, she probably wouldn't even say thank you. But now, after experiencing the beauty of friendship from Eluli, she is no longer willing to always face others with a cold face like before.
Because she finally understood that that kind of unwarranted arrogance probably had no benefit except keeping people away.
Outside the door, the junior elementary school girl heard Pansy's thank you and couldn't help but glance at her in surprise, then pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
"No, you're welcome... Filch is waiting for you outside the lounge now, so I'll leave first."
If anything, Filch obviously has a better impression of the Slytherins than the noisy and unruly Gryffindors.
However, this is actually relative.
Since he was always a squib who longed to learn magic but could never become a wizard, he was equally jealous of anyone who could use magic spells.
When Pansy opened the door to the common room and saw Filch standing in the corridor outside, the other party directly thrust a letter into her hand.
"Early in the morning, an owl came to poop on my head. It's really unlucky... Take it, your letter!"
Looking at the back of Filch who turned around and left immediately after leaving the letter, Pansy, who was already in a bad mood, couldn't help but frown and almost wanted to go out and curse out of habit. But after a moment's hesitation, she suppressed her depression and returned to the lounge with the thin envelope.
It was obviously still early now, and the only one here was the girl who had just come to see her. The Slytherin common room seemed a bit empty.
Since there was no one around, Pansy didn't think much about it. Sitting on the sofa, she looked at the signature on the envelope and tore the seal open with a "chick" sound.
"Marcus Flint?" She thought about it for a moment, then nodded with some realization, "Oh, is it the Chaser who graduated a few years ago?"
It seemed that Marcus had no sense of existence in her heart.
But after opening the letter and reading it hastily, Pansy couldn't help showing a surprised expression - Marcus didn't write much in the letter, he just asked her if she was friends with their maid Eluli. That’s all.
But even so, getting the news about Iluli made Pansy feel a little happy.
Because of Eluli's sensitive blood and background, Pansy had not taken the initiative to ask her about the situation at home. But now, Marcus's letter allowed her to indirectly learn about Iluli's situation, which had to be said to be a wonderful coincidence.
Well, at least for now, this is something to be happy about.
Compared with this, the origin of Iluli mentioned in her heart was not important to Pansy... After knowing the other party's mixed-elf bloodline, she could more or less guess some situations.
"The Flint family?" Pansy thought for a while and couldn't help but wonder to herself, "Judging from the content of Marcus's letter, I'm afraid Iluli's life in that 'family' is not good... I Do you want to think of a way..."
In the letter, Marcus would not be so stupid as to include the fact that Iluli was imprisoned. After all, Iluli said so confidently, he couldn't guarantee that Pansy and Iluli were not friends.
Therefore, Pansy, who just got the news from her friend, finally felt much better. After going back to the dormitory to tidy up a little, she left the castle underground with a rather brisk pace, planning to take a walk outside before breakfast started.
By the way, she had to think carefully about how to reply to Marcus.
After all, this is also a letter between the Flint and Parkinson families. Since she does not have much friendship with Marcus, this letter cannot be treated simply as a personal letter. .
First of all, the first thing she had to do was figure out Marcus's intention in writing this letter, and then carefully consider whether she should admit her friendship with Iluli.
This is not only important to her, but also to Iluli's side.
But it seemed that no matter how much Pansy thought about it, it was hard to imagine that Marcus was actually doubting the identity of Eluli's fugitive.
"You still don't admit it, right? Otherwise... not only will I leave a clue in Marcus' hands, but it might also bring trouble to Iluli... Huh? No!"
