Harry Potter: Reunion with the Enemy

With Draco's hard work several times, the relationship between Alex and the tutor duo has significantly warmed up.

Perhaps it was because Draco had done the homework for him that he was pleased with it. Alex had even promised to share the wine he had hidden in his room with the duo.

"Alex's selection is rigorous, you won't be disappointed."

Finally, after his mother Lina went out for something, Alex led his two tutors and quickly went through the room after room in the house, heading straight to his hidden wine storage place.

Harry deliberately slowed down his pace as he passed the room where the silver sword had been placed before, and found that although the room had a glass door, it was undoubtedly locked.

Harry carefully looked at the silver sword a few steps away. This time, there were no obstacles set up by the professors between him and his target. There was no Devil's Snare, wizard chess, potion puzzle, maze, or Inferi. There was only a clear glass door that would shatter at the slightest touch.

It seems so within reach.

"Hey, do you think it's cool?" Alex noticed Harry's gaze.

"Yeah." Harry licked his lips unconsciously. "It looks like it belongs to another era."

"This was given by a friend in the club. Although my dad never believed in their mysterious rituals, it really brings good luck." Alex said proudly, "Since this silver sword is hung in our house, every time my dad mentions his work, he always mentions the new strategy and the high performance of the hedge fund products he manages."

"As for me, I found a place at home to hide the alcohol I bought with my pocket money." Alex brought the topic back on track and led the two to his secret territory.

------------------

Draco took a sip of Alex's Choice and quietly turned his head to Harry and said, "Maybe we should bring a few glasses of Three Broomsticks Butterbeer to open the eyes of this little brat."

"From what I've seen of him, he might need more Firewhiskey," Harry murmured in agreement.

"Give this to a child? Oh my God, are you so mean?" Draco couldn't help laughing.

"I have to warn you, you won't be able to help him with his homework if you're drunk." Harry snatched Draco's half-empty cup.

Alex had now given up on using the "I can't" excuse and instead told Draco directly that he should finish his homework by a certain time.

"Mr. Malfoy, this is the homework due tomorrow."

Draco had no way to deal with this lazy little brat. When he heard this, he just showed an understanding expression, then skillfully opened his homework book and buried his head in solving the questions quickly.

During math class, Harry usually sat on the side and handed Draco a pen, or... just watched him write.

What else can an innocent squash coach do?

Sometimes he would look at the wine glasses on the table and Draco writing furiously beside him and fall into deep thought.

Merlin, what on earth are you doing?

Harry occasionally suspected that his parents knew Alex's attitude towards tutoring, because Lena occasionally looked through Alex's homework books, but did not raise any objections to the unfamiliar handwriting on them.

"He's actually quite smart." Draco suddenly thought of this after returning home one day.

Because Matthew suddenly broke into the cram school room that day, under the majestic gaze of his father, Alex obediently did the questions by himself for two hours. Draco helped him check all the questions before leaving.

"He did 90% of it right, and even got a little drunk, so maybe he doesn't actually need a tutor," Draco announced with a shrug.

"But that doesn't stop him from enslaving you," Harry pointed out pointedly.

"It's called strategic cooperation, not slavery! Alex has started to tell us some private matters. He is opening his heart to us." Draco frowned slightly.

"Okay, strategic enslavement." Harry reluctantly corrected himself. "If I had found out you were so good at homework at Hogwarts, maybe we would have become good friends. Then I wouldn't have to rely on Hermione to check my homework."

Draco picked up a pillow and threw it upstairs, "Oh shut up, Scarhead."

Alex really does take everything in stride. While other kids are taking private school exams and interviews like a dreadful threat, Alex is so relaxed that he feels like he's on vacation at any time.

"He's like a person waiting for a bus on the side of the road. Even if he misses this one, there's always the next one," Harry explained. "Even if he doesn't get into a private school, his father can still donate money to send him to a prestigious school and get him a coveted job. So with these prerequisites, he doesn't have to do it himself."

"I can do that too, why am I doing this here?" Draco retorted lightly. "After doing so many math problems, the principles of Arithmancy that I didn't fully understand before have become easy to understand."

"Because you have signed a contract to work for goblins. Although I don't know the reason why you suddenly changed jobs." Harry answered matter-of-factly.

---------

After reaching a tacit understanding with Alex, Draco and Harry's math tutoring class every night gradually evolved into quickly doing the exercises and going home after finishing them.

In between doing the exercises, the two of them found opportunities to inquire about Matthew and the club.

At the same time, I also learned a lot of information.

For example, the full name of the Power Club is “Lake Club”, and its members include politicians, entrepreneurs, financiers and artists.

In a forest covering thousands of square kilometers, there is a 30-foot-tall lion statue. Here, every July, all members of the Lakeside Club hold summer activities. There are many well-known celebrities who join the club, including the prime minister, defense minister and other dignitaries, as well as presidents of multinational organizations and celebrities in the cultural and artistic circles, such as novelists, magicians and cartoonists.

The club's motto is "Weaving spiders, e not here." It is taken from Chapter 2 of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Ordinary people are not allowed to approach.

Because it involves many Muggle elites, the interest groups behind this club also include military, oil, banking and media cooperation projects.

“There may be more than just math problems today,” Alex suddenly announced as the two of them arrived at the cram school room that day.

"And...?" Draco asked curiously, already putting on a cooperative expression.

"I'm going to try to get a spot in the school play." Alex said seriously.

"Why? Is the prize a collection of fine wines?" Draco speculated.

Alex shook his head in denial. "Because... I can't embarrass my parents. All their friends' children will be participating in this play, and now these adults are secretly competing to see who can get the leading role and who will have more influence."

"My dad will definitely come to watch my performance."

Draco quickly locked eyes with Harry.

The occasion where the parents are present in person. This may be a great opportunity to get close to Matthew.
