[HP DEHA] utility room

Professor Lupine was very glad that Harry came to see him in his office, and he kindly asked Harry to sit down and made him a cup of tea.

"Harry, I'd love to have a chat with you," said Lupine gently.

Harry thought of seven or eight opening lines within ten seconds, and finally he decided to take out the Marauder's Map.

"Professor Lupine, you used to know Peter Pettigrew, right?"

Lupine raised his eyebrows when he saw the parchment in Harry's hand.

"Yes, we used to be good friends at the same level." Lupine said unhurriedly.

Harry poked the parchment lightly with his wand. "I solemnly swear that I have done no good."

Immediately ink letters and lines appeared on the paper, and Lupine stared gravely at the words "Moonface, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs" on the manifesto.

Harry pointed to the name of Peter Pettigrew who was circling around in the Gryffindor dormitory on the map, "Professor, this map can see the activity footprints of everyone in the castle, and this name has been appearing in our dormitory recently , but never saw him show up."

Lupine frowned, obviously thinking about something.After a long time, he said, "Harry, are you worried about your parents? I understand, but you'd better not put too much energy on it."

"Professor Lupine, you must know something about what happened back then, right?" Harry interrupted his speech and asked urgently, "It is rumored that Peter Pettigrew was killed by Sirius because of my parents, but now he appears but does not show up." body, there must be some reason."

Lupine made a pause gesture for him to stop. "Harry, that's not something you should be thinking about right now. We can talk about other things if you want."

"Professor Lupine, you and my father are friends, right? So I have a right to know about their affairs." Harry said anxiously.

"Harry, we used to be good friends. But the information I got back then was not much different from others." Lupine took a sip of tea quietly, "Then you promise me, after satisfying your curiosity, don't do it." anything dangerous."

Harry nodded frantically, "Of course Professor."

Lupine talked to Harry for 10 minutes, and Harry got the general idea.

Back then, in order to hide Harry's parents, Sirius used the Fidelity Curse with them as a secret keeper.They hid the secret in the secret keeper's soul, as long as Sirius didn't speak, Voldemort would never find the whereabouts of Harry's parents.

However, Sirius betrayed Harry's parents at a critical moment, and blew up Peter Pettigrew and a street of Muggles to death.

- After satisfying your curiosity, don't do anything dangerous.

Harry clenched his fists.

Professor Lupine then asked Harry to practice the Patronus Charm for a while.

"If I remember correctly, you will learn Animagi in your Charms class this semester." Before leaving, Professor Lupine nonsensically said to Harry, "That's a magical spell, and it's very interesting to practice it."

"It's a strange thing," Draco said to Harry. "My mother said that Sirius was expelled from the family tree when he ran away from home when he was sixteen."

"I mean he was not fanatical about pursuing pure blood, and was even kicked out of the house for supporting the work of the Potter family." Draco shrugged, "How could such a person suddenly side with the Dark Lord, you Isn't it strange?"

"Crazy!" said Harry angrily.

"Also, Peter Pettigrew is right next to you. His ability to move quickly shows that he is free to move. He had many opportunities to talk to you, but he never showed up." Draco frowned and thought, "He's either hiding, Or be afraid of something."

At this time, the two of them stood under the torch in the dark passage, the fire flickered, and their voices echoed in the dark passage.

"Well, Professor Lupine didn't say much about this person, he just told me not to act impulsively."

"anything else?"

"He also asked me to practice the Patronus Charm for a while. Before I left, he said that Animaji was very interesting."

"..."

Draco crossed his arms and pondered for a while and said, "After learning the Animagi, wizards can freely transform into animals."

"That's right! When my friend's pet mouse got scared that day, I saw that name run very fast." Harry clapped his hands, as if thinking of something.

"Well, we have a way to verify this." Draco said lazily.

Then Harry's jaw was pinched, and Draco leaned forward again with a smug face, trying to do something bad.

"Malfoy!" Harry reacted quickly this time, and pushed him away before Draco could do anything, "Be serious and stop making trouble!"

Draco laughed, "Haha silly Potter, why did you react so strongly?"

"Don't touch me without my permission," Harry said angrily.

He suffered from being neither prepared nor resisted the previous few times, and Harry decided to make it clear to Draco this time, so that he would not touch him so casually and boldly.

"Okay, okay." Seeing that Harry was angry, Draco said that he would not play tricks again.

Just as Harry let his guard down, Draco quickly tickled Harry's nose, then looked back at Harry smugly, admiring his reaction.

"Hey!" Harry waved his fists in protest, but the perpetrator had already run far out of his attack range.

After returning to the dormitory, Harry patted Ron who was sitting by the window to comfort Scabbers.

He had quarreled with Hermione three times this week about Crookshanks and Scabbers.

"Ron, I thought of a way to keep your Scabbers away from the cat's claws." Harry said to Ron pretending to be shrewd.

"What? Killed that smelly cat?"

Ron, who had always disliked the cat, was stroking Spotted's fur without looking up - it had been looking balder lately.

"No, maybe we can send it to Hagrid for a few hours when we leave the dormitory, and bring it back when we have time."

"Hmm..." Ron looked up and thought for a while before nodding, "This is a good idea."

He continued to caress Scabbers, "We'll do that tomorrow, and I hope Hagrid can feed him something nice."

So when Draco opened his textbook the next day, he accidentally found a roll of old yellowed parchment that someone had put in.

Next to it was a note that read:

——Let’s see tonight.

……

……

"I'm going to send Scabbers to Hagrid now, and I hope he can take good care of it." Ron proudly lifted Scabbers' cage and said loudly to Hermione and Harry on purpose.

"Come on, you can give it away, do you need such a bravado? Make it sound like it's been abused by you." Hermione laughed at Ron's behavior.

"Not because your smelly cat keeps trying to eat it," said Ron through gritted teeth.

Harry was also amused, and he patted Ron on the shoulder, "Okay, you've had ten thousand seizures this week."

"Harry, buddy, do you want to stand by Hermione and that cat?" Ron frowned and looked at Scabbers, "Scabbets, it looks like we're the only ones on the same side."

On the way to Hagrid's cabin, there were laughter from the three of Harry.

Hagrid had been waiting outside his hut early.He was overjoyed when he heard that Ron was going to put Scabbers in foster care and couldn't wait for them to arrive.He rubbed his hands and invited the three people into the house, invited them to drink tea, listened to Ron carefully explain the precautions, and chatted happily with magical creatures for a while before saying goodbye to them.

"Don't worry, Banban is fine with me." When seeing off, Hagrid patted his chest and looked at Ron, who nodded.

"That's up to you then," said Ron gratefully.

When they came, the sky could still see the sunset, but when they left the house, it was completely dark.Under the cover of night, the bright silver moon hangs in the sky, and the stars are shining brightly.The lake next to Hagrid's house reflects the stars in the sky, which is very beautiful.

There was also a thin figure standing by the lake. He stood alone and looked at the lake, as if he was waiting for someone.

"Hmm... Hermione, Ron, I think I have something to do, you two go back first." Harry stopped laughing with his friends and said to them.

"What's the matter Harry? Did you forget something at Hagrid's cabin?" Ron asked.

Harry shook his head, "I just... remembered that I had something to say to him. This is my little secret with Hagrid. I'll be back soon, see you in the lounge!"

He quickly told a lie.Fortunately, it was very dark, and Ron couldn't see his flawed expression.

"Harry, is there something you're hiding from us? You've been secretive the last few weeks." Ron asked.

Hermione looked around and suddenly grinned.

"Harry, come back early." She jokingly pushed Harry, grabbed Ron and left.

"Hermione, haven't you noticed that Harry has been acting strangely these past few weeks?" Ron who was dragged away still wanted to argue with Hermione.

Hermione shook her head. "I think he just needs a little space."

Harry watched the two friends go away, and he didn't start running until he could no longer hear their arguments.When he rushed to the lake with joy, Draco had been waiting here for a long time.

"Draco, what happened to what we were talking about?" Harry stood beside him panting.

Draco gracefully spread out the ink-lined parchment map, and tapped the location of Hagrid's hut on the map with the tip of his glowing wand.

"I've been looking at this picture since you guys came here." Draco said seriously, "I watched the name move from Gryffindor Tower to here, and now it's not moving here."

Harry looked at where Hagrid's cabin was.Hagrid was supposed to be alone in the hut, but that familiar name appeared behind Hagrid.

—Peter Pettigrew.

"Scabbets!" Harry exclaimed softly.

"Silly Potter, have you ever thought about how a stinky mouse can live for 12 years?" Draco said seriously, "Although there are only seven Animagus registered this century, I think there will be fish that slip through the net." .”

"Yes, like him." Harry nodded, "Maybe he wasn't injured by the bomb back then, but just turned into a mouse and hid. I must ask this person what happened when I have a chance."

"Don't be impulsive." Draco held Harry's shoulders, "It's a bit too early to expose it now."

"Then when can I—"

"At least until the incident with Sirius is over."

There was a slight explosion from the direction of Hagrid's house, and Harry frowned and glanced at the hut, thinking that Hagrid must have burned something again.Sure enough, the door of the hut was opened not long after, and Hagrid pitifully carried a pot of unknown things outside the house.

Harry instinctively grabbed Draco and motioned him to squat together in the grass, and he was relieved when Hagrid returned to the cabin.

"I don't know what to do next." Harry whispered, "Sirius is free to come and go from Hogwarts, and not only do I have no way of knowing when he will jump out and kill me, but I have to go to class and worry about it." Failed Potions."

"Potter, let's find a way to find his location first, there will be dementors coming to find him." Draco gripped the Marauder's Map tightly, "He didn't succeed the first time, and he will definitely come back again."

"..."

"When the time comes, I will accompany you."

"it is good."

Harry buried his face between his knees, his chest full of emotions.

Draco wanted to comfort the person in front of him, he put his arms around Harry and patted him on the shoulder.

The February wind mixed with fragrance blew on the faces of the two of them, making the surrounding grass and leaves rustle.The moonlight shines, the lakeside is quiet, and the two lean on each other gently.

The feelings that sprouted in Draco's heart were also swirled by the wind.

"Potter..." Draco called softly.

Harry looked up at Draco, there was an indescribable depth in his eyes, and Harry couldn't see his emotions clearly.Then Draco put his hands on Harry's shoulders domineeringly, pushing him to the grass.Harry's courtyard robes scraped across the grass, making a rustling sound.Harry wasn't ready yet, his eyes turned quickly, and the entire starry sky was reflected in his vision.

"Draco?!" Harry looked at the man who knocked him down in some panic.

Draco heard Harry calling him, and leaned over him, pinning him down.Harry felt his body sink, and his limbs were tightly grasped, unable to move.

It happened so suddenly that Harry was a little caught off guard.He felt Draco leaning against him, exhaling hot air on his ears, face, and neck, causing his back to itch, and he arched his body involuntarily.

Draco exhaled hot air, the tip of his nose brushed across Harry's face, nose, and forehead back and forth several times, and then across Harry's chin and throat, hovered over his Adam's apple, paused, and stuck out the warm tip of his tongue Outlining Harry's Adam's apple.

Harry shivered, gasping slightly in his throat.

Draco closed his eyes and licked, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, very forgetful.

Harry's bow tie was savagely pulled away by someone with such force that Harry seemed to hear the button of his shirt snap off, and his mind went blank for a moment.

A gust of cold wind blew past, and the temperature dropped sharply. The coldness prompted Harry to pull back his sanity, which was exiled on the edge of the universe.

"Draco, don't—" Harry pushed Draco's shoulder, but the man still stubbornly refused to leave the delicious food.

"Malfoy, stop doing this." Harry protested softly.

"Hmm..." Draco wanted to refuse this move, and he gasped heavily again.

For some reason, a nameless annoyance rose in Harry's chest.He broke free from the restraints of his hands, hugged Draco, and rolled around hard, throwing off the people on him.

"Malfoy, you're always like this. Just pounce on me, regardless of the occasion and whether I want to or not!" Harry sat up and straightened his collar.

"Well……"

Draco's kindness was suddenly interrupted, and he was very unhappy.He glanced at Harry complainingly, got up from the ground and sat down, trying to adjust his breathing.

Both of them are flushed now, their faces are awkward, and they don't want to look at each other directly.

"Potter, I'm not happy about your behavior." Draco frowned.He and Harry couldn't be together very often, and it took so long to get a chance, but Harry pushed him away when he was in a high mood.

Being interrupted at this time is very uncomfortable both physically and mentally.

"So what if you're unhappy, have you ever asked me if I'm happy!" Harry stood up and yelled at Draco condescendingly.

Draco was already very upset, but when he saw Harry's sudden reaction, he also jumped up angrily.

"Potter, have you considered my feelings? We don't have much time to see each other." Draco quickly straightened his sleeves, bow tie, and shook his robe while losing his temper.

"Who told you to spend most of your time with your two close friends." Harry straightened his glasses and said coldly.

Several times their meetings had been cut short because Draco had to meet his minions, and Harry thought Draco was terrible at hanging out with those guys.

Draco didn't expect Harry to say this, he didn't speak for a while, a trace of grievance flashed in his eyes.

Harry turned to leave the lake.

"You need friends and contacts too, you know why I have to keep them!" Draco's slightly angry voice sounded behind Harry.

"I wouldn't have a close friend like that!" Harry growled over his shoulder.

"What can I do?!"

"Yeah! What can you do, you're Malfoy! We couldn't stand in the same crowd!"

"Potter, do you know what you're talking about?!"

"I know, I know very well!"

In the night, Harry and Draco quarreled in the air for a long time, and the two got farther and farther away, until they couldn't hear what the man in the distance was yelling.

Harry's heart was pounding, and his anger was surging out of his chest, and he couldn't calm down.

He'd almost forgotten that it was just angry that Draco had made out with him without his consent in the first place.

Harry didn't want to go straight back to the castle, he wanted to take a walk by the lake to calm his mind.

At this time, a shadow flickered past his eyes.Harry fixed his eyes on the big black dog. After it stopped, it stood in the woods not far away and stared at him.

He had seen this dog on Magnolia Crescent Street, and he would never remember it wrong!

A little frightened, Harry drew his wand out of his robes and squeezed it tightly.

—Okay, come on.

Harry walked slowly in the direction of the dog.

At this time, the air suddenly condensed, and the surrounding grass bowed their heads and frosted.Then Harry felt that all the happy and bright things seemed to leave him, and rustling voices, women's screams, and pleadings echoed in his ears.

Harry looked up, and the bright moonlight hit the robes of three or four dementors hovering over the lake.The dementors sensed Harry's presence, and they flew towards him.

"Guardian!" Harry shouted desperately, picking up his wand. White light spots flashed from the end of the wand to form a wall of light, but it didn't have enough power to become a complete Patronus.

The dementor moved closer, and Harry shuddered and sank to the ground.He kept chanting the Patronus Charm, and soon felt exhausted, his consciousness was being pulled away, and he could no longer concentrate.

At this time, the big dog in the distance was running towards Harry, and when it ran to his side, it suddenly turned into a tall, frail, sallow and thin man.He picked up Harry's wand and yelled the Patronus Charm at the dementor.

The wand spewed out a large amount of blinding white light, instantly hitting the three dementors, who flew away in fear.The bright light in the world returned to Harry.

The man called his name and patted his face, as if to make sure he was awake.Harry couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, nor could he hear his yelling clearly. He felt that his soul was about to fall into another world.

Then the man seemed to have seen something, and suddenly changed back into a big black dog and ran deep into the Forbidden Forest.

Another quickly ran up to Harry, picked him up and shook him, and Harry caught sight of the corner of the man's green school robe.Another moment later a grown man with brown hair and an old coat came up to him, and it took Harry a long time to realize that it was Lupine.

Harry felt two cold tears drip down his cheeks before he lost consciousness.
