The fact that the Gryffindor gems were directly cleared due to Ciel's intervention was publicized by someone with ulterior motives (Draco), and this once again gave Ciel a strong presence in front of the little snakes.

Of course, after Dumbledore punished Harry and Ron Weasley in a way that satisfied Charles, everything that happened in the headmaster's office that day should have become a secret as if everyone knew it.

However, Charles had no intention of following the arrangements of a thoughtful adult.

He was just a little wizard who was in the second grade and almost couldn't come to school because of something that happened to him. It was normal for him to talk about what happened to his roommate whom he hadn't seen for a long time, right?

As for what information should be kept secret?

Sorry, he had no idea.

No one had told him explicitly that these things needed to be kept secret!

So, before Dumbledore tried to portray the whole incident as a proof of Harry's bravery, Charles' version of the story was the first to spread around Hogwarts.

Naturally, Harry was labeled as "brave but foolish" in the minds of many small animals.

By the time Dumbledore realized this, it was too late.

......

Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

"Ciel." Draco poked the boy next to him who was listening attentively to the story.

"Hmm?" Charles responded casually.

Although this year's new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor seems to be a fool, his storytelling skills are still quite outstanding.

Since you can't listen to opera or watch ballet at Hogwarts, listening to stories occasionally is also a good pastime.

As for the fact that this kind of course has absolutely no effect on improving their Defense Against the Dark Arts?

It doesn’t matter. They still have a Gellert in the Phantomhive family, so there is no need to worry about actual combat training.

"Did you do something to Scarhead?" Draco looked around and asked in a low voice, "Why does he always look at you with such disgusting eyes?"

Draco felt that there must be something he didn't know!

"Nothing, I just said a few truths that he might not want to accept." Of course, Charles could feel Harry's gaze on him from time to time.

But he thought he had made his attitude clear enough - the two of them were not the same kind of people at all.

He thought that after the ruthless words he said that night, the little friendship between him and Harry should have been completely severed.

I just don't know why Harry always looks like he wants to say something but stops himself after that. It makes people feel annoyed just watching him.

Whether he wanted to apologize or blame him, Charles didn't care about what Harry thought now.

He has always hated this kind of sticky and entangled emotional relationship.

Since Ciel has already chosen his side, he will not change his mind. It is only a matter of time before Harry, who stands on Dumbledore's side, is abandoned by him.

His main target is Dumbledore, as for Harry?

A savior who is forced to the forefront and has only a title and ambition cannot influence the overall situation.

"So, what you're saying is..." Draco laughed. "You guys broke up."

He finally didn't have to worry about Charles anymore and could deal with the savior with all his might.

"Is that so?" Ciel glanced at Draco and asked in confusion, "So, can you tell me why you hate him so much?"

Charles had been curious about this for a long time. When he was at Hogwarts, he and Draco were almost inseparable, and he had never seen Harry get close to him many times.

Where does such a huge hatred come from?

Draco:......

Draco touched his chin, thought carefully, and then answered seriously: "I don't know, maybe I just don't like him?"

As the only heir of the Malfoy family, does he need a reason to target someone?

Isn’t it the biggest mistake that he dislikes the other party?

Draco thought so confidently.

Ciel: ...

Charles did not comment much on this.

Ciel was quite tolerant towards the people in his circle. Although he himself had no interest in tormenting others, it would be no big deal if Draco was in that mood.

Anyway, given Draco's temper, he wouldn't cause any big trouble...

Just looking at how happy he was when he imagined Harry being expelled from school, you can tell that Draco is quite easy to satisfy to some extent.

......

Bedroom.

"Master, welcome back." Charles pushed the door open and walked in. Sebastian, who had been waiting at the door, stepped forward and took off his outer robe in time. "Did your class go well today?"

Charles glanced at him sideways: "You have been following me the whole time, haven't you? Didn't you see anything?"

"Ah, I just want to hear the young master express his feelings in person."

"As a qualified deacon, it is important to always understand the master's inner thoughts."

"Don't talk like that, it's disgusting."

"Okay, if you insist." The butler in black followed the boy closely, with a hint of superficial distress on his handsome face. "But it would be a shame if I never see the young master being shy again."

"Shut up."

"Yes, sir, would you like some snacks now? I made caramel brulee today. How about pairing it with Earl Grey tea with bergamot as an ingredient?"

"..."

"Master?"

"......want."

"Please wait, I will prepare it for you soon."

Draco, who followed Charles in, was already accustomed to the way the master and servant got along.

He could even basically ignore the "radical remarks" that the deacon named Sebastian made from time to time, without changing his expression.

At times like this, just quietly lower your presence.

No, maybe he didn't need to lower his presence at all. After all, in the eyes of the butler, he was probably no different from an insignificant decoration...

If it weren't for...

Draco sat down in the chair opposite Ciel with an expressionless face, and waited quietly for Sebastian to prepare tea.

Damn, if it wasn't for his excellent craftsmanship...

He will never let go of anyone who dares to ignore Malfoy like this!
