Chapter 17 - Level 14 [ part 3 ]. Did I break the story? (2/2)

There was no proof against us, but still it got us under close observation by professors, because whole situation was just too suspicious. Also, I felt bad about Neville so, decided to load latest save and notify him beforehand not to worry and sleep.

Before exiting I went to him and told him to stay put, not to go out and sleep. I instantly regretted decision to notify him, because spending hours carrying crate with a dragon is not exactly a definition of a dream. But whatever.

Everything else was as planned. Finally. We got happy ending, and all went well.

Now, next activity should be walk in the dark forest, so it's time to grind and wait.

*Some time later*

Until I heard how Malfoy started berating school for forcing students to go out in the dark forest and some other useless stuff. But that one piece about forest made it clear to me.

I've messed up and messed up hard. How I didn't think about it previously. Because walk in the dark forest was done by Harry and Malfoy, so apparently, he should have been there. Moreover, going into forbidden forest cannot be called a reward, so it was a detention. Who was at fault here, my hazy memory or film makers and their inconsistencies? I don't know.

I should have come to this conclusion earlier. Damn it. Did I break the story, now?

Without forest, Potter won't know it's Voldemort that is after him. Without that, no motivation to look for stone. No motivation, no magical saving of the stone. No saving, early Voldemort. Early Voldemort, early freaking death will be in my medical history!

Nope. Not going to happen. I must go back. Thankfully only a few days passed, I didn't get any skill raises in this period and I didn't delete any saves, so I can safely load to the same moment. Crap, we will be under detention and remembering how many points McGonagall subtracted from Gryffindor for Neville, I am going to regret doing this, aren't I?

'Return to last saved moment'

Shit lifting this stupid crate for a third time. I already hate this dragon.

*In the morning after saving dragon(3rd time)*

We all safely got a… well… detention. I really hope this is canon. Otherwise, I am going to cry. Neville is hurt, thinking we actually lied to him and it was us who were behind this whole story, trying to frame Malfoy.

In addition to this, I indeed regret returning and redoing it for a second time. McGonagall deducted fifty points… Per each person! Whole Gryffindor was looking at us like we've killed somebody in their family.

Harry was gloomy and I heard he promised to himself to never interfere in other's business. That scares me. My whole point of returning was to make sure he will interfere. But I decided to not be rash and wait until we will go to the forest.

Only Hermione and Ron were still keeping us company. Everyone else, even Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw were avoiding us. Slytherin was jeering and constantly made fun of us. Overall, it was a nice educative atmosphere.

I really hope it's worth it. If I return to carry that stupid dragon for the fourth time, I'm gonna go crazy!

*Sigh*

Let's wait.

*Progress*
