Chapter 87 – Scare Tactics
"Is this far enough from spying ears and eyes yet?" I asked as I walked in front of Fleur while she followed me, never letting me fall behind her. We were already way away from the castle, right next to the cold lake that was getting closer and closer to being frozen over.
"Yes."
"Then speak." I stopped at once, turning not towards her but facing the water, watching the Durmstrangs' ship in the middle of it. Krum wanted to come, but in the end, he closed his mouth before speaking, nodding at me before watching us leave.
"Two classmates gone. You killed them."
"Proof?" I chuckled, and neither did I deny nor acknowledge it. Although I didn't turn towards her, I could feel the anger radiating off her body. Behind my calm exterior, some nervousness began rising, as I wasn't sure if the spells on her had been reversed or not.
"None... but I feel I right. You attacked us with unforgivable spell... you are evil."
"Then why are you still alive?" I asked, this time turning to face her and peer into her eyes, making her subconsciously step back multiple times. Was it fear that I smelled in the air? Probably... and I could clearly hear her heartbeat jump.
"You dare?" She said hurriedly, wand in her hand, raising it at me.
"I attacked your Headmaster. You tell me!"
"That was stupid! You thought much of yourself, Conrad Anguine!"
"Yes. It was stupid, but I felt my head was about to explode. So, I thought less about the possible consequences! Now, you called me out here for what? To ask me if I killed your missing classmates? Why? When? Don't worry; if they had anything to do with Quincy's disappearance, I will find them and deliver their corpse to you."
