Together [HP]

They went back to school and ate a full dinner, Malfoy was sullen, Pansy and Jacqueline glanced at each other, Jacquiline cleared his throat, "Malfoy, what's bothering you?" gone."

"That nasty savage." Malfoy glared fiercely at Hagrid, who was drinking heavily at the teacher's table. "The Department of Hazardous Creatures thinks he's right. They're going to hold a hearing on Buckbeak! I hurt an arm." It must be your father!" Malfoy whispered, "He likes those nasty things as much as that weirdo Hagrid."

"I thought the Ministry of Magic belonged to your father?" Jacqueline asked, raising his eyebrows as he put a small piece of steak into his mouth.

"Are you going against us?"

"Please." Jacqueline shrugged innocently, "Now my mother is the master of our family."

"Better so," he snorted, taking another Johnshire pudding. "Haven't those Aurors from the Ministry of Magic caught Black yet?"

"You like to scare Harry by pretending to be a dementor, don't you?" Pansy asked with a smile, taking a sip of the chicken soup.

"But I don't really like it." Malfoy gave Pansy a disgusted look. "Every time I walk past them, I shudder. I told Dad to find a way to get them away, but he said This is a necessary measure."

"Where do you think he's hiding?" Pansy asked absently.

"Who knows." Malfoy turned his head and glanced at the pale Harry, "I really hope he will be so stupid as to go to a duel with Black, and then Black will be captured by the dementors. .”

"It's better that I beg Professor Trelawney to give me a better chance." Jacquilin muttered something, causing Pansy to burst into laughter.

Malfoy gave Pansy a disgusted look, cleared his throat, "Will you go to the Quidditch World Cup next year? Dad will definitely receive tickets to the top box from many people at that time."

"I should." Jacquelin curled his lips. "My dad has been asking me during the summer vacation. As for where I sit, I don't care. I just want to see the delicacies that claim to be from all over the world."

"I'm not like you rich people." Pansy shook his head and sighed, "Our family can't afford expensive tickets like the top box, but I should go, if Bulgaria enters the final, our family Die-hard fans of it."

"If that's the case," Malfoy stood up, "then see you later."

They both nodded at him, and Malfoy walked out with his two squires.

Jacquelin was a little idle when he got home, except for two things, of course, staying in Graham's library every day looking through books about dementors and Animagus.

"Your grandfather wants me to remind you that Animagus is a very dangerous spell." One afternoon during the holiday, when Jacqueline was reading in the library as usual, Gina floated over from the wall, "Even with a dedicated teacher, it will take years and may fail."

"I'm just reading." Jacqueline put down the book in his hand, turned and smiled at his grandmother, "I haven't made up my mind yet."

"I tried it when I was young." Gina floated in front of Jacquilin, and reached for the book in her hand. "Unfortunately, it didn't work out in the end, and I stayed in the school infirmary for a long time," she said. Smiling, "Did I tell you that your grandfather came to see me every day at that time? Even though he was a Slytherin and I was a Ravenclaw?"

Jacqueline shook his head.

"When he first came here, I thought he was here to laugh at me." Gina smiled softly, "At that time, my face was covered with feathers, and my hands became claws, so ugly. But He didn't laugh, but instead reprimanded the person who laughed at me, at that time, he was in the seventh grade, and he was still the chairman of the male student union, and I was just a new prefect in the fifth grade."

"Then how did you know each other?" Jacqueline asked softly, leaning on the soft sofa.

"We are all Quidditch players in our respective colleges, and we are all batsmen." Gina seemed to think of something happy. "He wouldn't run into me since our first game and I remember one time his captain yelled at him and ordered him to knock me off the broom if necessary. He replied, A polite gentleman would not treat a girl like this."

"So, grandma, you are tempted by grandpa?" Jacqueline asked with a smile.

"No." Gina shook her head, "I then sent him to the school infirmary with a Bludger."

No sooner had Gina finished than Jacquiline burst out laughing.

"So," Gina patted Jacqueline's back, "how's everything going at school?"

"It's pretty good." Jacquelin nodded, "I went to Hogsmeade a few times and tasted their butter beer and mead. I don't think it's as good as Pete and Jessica's. This semester we Got a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, and I think he's good. But Muggle Studies and Divination aren't that interesting, and I'll definitely give them up next year."

"It sounds like you're doing well." Gina nodded gratified. "That's good, Jacqueline. So, do you have any boys you like?"

"Please, Grandma." Jacquilin blushed a little, "I don't think there is anything good about the boys around me. I wouldn't look for someone worse than me."

"Then it seems a bit difficult to do." Gina chuckled softly, "especially when you have been the first in the school for two consecutive years."

"Even if I'm not the first in the school, Hermione is the second in the grade." Jacquilin said flatly, "I don't think I will have the luxury to find a good boy before graduation."

"Give them more chances." Gina stood up and pressed a kiss on Jacqueline's head, "Your father is not better than your mother in every way."

"Maybe," Jacquilin tilted his head and thought for a while. At this moment, Haig flew in through the window with a thick letter wrapped around his feet.

"It seems that someone misses you." Gina smiled and left the room.

Jacqueline raised his eyebrows, unwrapped the envelope from Haig's feet, and pushed his water glass in front of it. It barked, lowered its head, and drank one gulp at a time.

Jacqueline opened the envelope, and the sender was Hermione Granger, the Miss Know It All from Gryffindor in the same year she had just mentioned.She first briefly asked how Jacquilin was doing during her vacation, and hoped that Jacquilin would bring her blessings to Professor Yuna. Greg and Buckbeak's disposal, whether she is involved in this matter, and finally warned Jacqueline clearly that they are now searching for all books that can help Hagrid win the lawsuit against the Committee on the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures. In preparing their defense, they will surely win.

"If you need, I can even provide you with all the dossiers of the Department of Hazardous Creatures." Jacqueline murmured into the envelope.

Although she liked Buckbeak very much, it was a pity that the Malfoy family would not let him go, and the Graham family would not conflict with another family because of a bird.

Jacqueline quickly wrote a reply letter, the content of the letter was very simple, answering Hermione's question: because I asked.

After finishing writing, she thought about it and added another sentence: The best way is not to confront directly.

As for whether Hermione would listen to her advice, and how she would do it, it was not her problem at all.

Then she walked into the turret on the right side of the castle, her own room on the second floor. She had just moved out of the main building of the castle this summer, because Yuna thought that now that she had grown up, she should have a space of her own.

So on the right side of the castle, the turret converted from the original watchtower became her site.She took out the platinum necklace from the drawer next to the bed, stuffed it into the envelope together with the letter, and then went up to the third floor, the original observation deck, where there were some miscellaneous things, including Haig's cage.Haig was already comfortably arranging his feathers on the shelf, and Jacqueline wrapped the envelope around Haig's feet, and Haig flew out of the window with his head held high and his chest raised, and he let out a cry.

Jacquilin walked to the window and looked out the window. The sun was setting and the forest and town in front of the castle were covered with gold.What counts as a good and powerful memory, Jacqueline thought.

Christmas came as scheduled, and James also appeared in Graham's castle at the last moment, disheveled and bloodshot. When he came out of the bathroom, Norm was removing the meal.

"I'm not surprised at all." He choked, sat down at the table, grabbed the bread in front of him without any image, and stuffed it into his stomach in a hurry. "I hope you can serve the turkey as soon as possible." He took a sip of the aperitif, put the bread in his stomach, and said to Norm, "I have to eat this before they damn find me." Dum, God knows when I'll have dinner next time. The Ministry of Magic is crazy, dementors and Aurors are not enough, even we have to run around. We are good at catching magical creatures, not people, especially A prisoner from Azkaban."

"If this makes the dementors leave the school earlier." Yuna frowned, nodded to Norm, and motioned for him to bring the turkey up first, and Norm left angrily. "If there was another influx of dementors in the school, many parents would sue."

"Including you?" William asked with a smile.

"I'll be the first one." Yuna said coldly, got up and began to cut the turkey, "I'm staying in school, not Azkaban. Speaking of which," Yuna turned her head and looked at Jacqueline, "I mentioned to Professor Snape that you wish to learn the Patronus spell. How is it going?"

"The Patronus Charm?" James swallowed a piece of chicken breast hard. "This spell requires the caster to recall good memories. Of course, that was at the very beginning. Once you become proficient, it will be another matter."

"Yes." Jacquelin nodded, "Professor Snape said to ask me to come back to him after Christmas if I could recall some good and powerful memories. But," she shook her head, "I can think of Little things that make me happy, but don't feel like they're powerful, I mean," she thought, frowning, "what's powerful?"

There was silence at the dinner table as Raymond and his wife looked at each other, then at their father together.Una and James exchanged glances, and together they focused on the turkey in the center of the table.William opened his mouth to say something, but Lucas just glanced at him and he fell silent.

"I think it's enough to be happy." Arthur said angrily, "Maybe strong refers to the kind of thing that makes you very happy."

Jacquilin looked at his grandfather in surprise, it seemed that such words should not have come out of his mouth.

"Like the shrunken fig thing," Raymond went on, "I remember you laughed for a long time that day, and you talked about it for a long time."

"And, Pete and Jessica," William nodded, "we can hear you laughing in the castle."

"And when you received the Hogwarts acceptance letter." Yuna turned her head to look at her, "I remember how happy you were that day, bouncing around."

"Or you can focus on being strong." Lucas suggested, "For example," he scratched his head, "the kind, you think you are very successful, important memories?"

"Gentlemen and ladies." James put down the knife and fork in his hand and burped, his face flushed a lot, "Thank you very much for your hospitality, I finally had a full meal this week DON." He said as he stood up.

"It seems that I have to go, I can't leave my companions alone in the wilderness, and about the Patronus spell, I think it is best for me, a man from Gryffindor, to guide my daughter But that's okay. I'm not targeting you, but there are very few people in Slytherin who can be summoned." He said and waved to Jacqueline,

"Come on, let's go outside and say, I don't want them to hear the secrets that belong to Gryffindor."

"Thank goodness." William let out a heavy breath until the figures of Jaquilin and James disappeared in the dining room, "I almost couldn't make it up, very happy? Dad, if she really does what you said , I’m afraid nothing can be summoned.”

"I think it's okay to summon a silver air current." Raymond laughed, "But we all have to agree that it would be best for a Gryffindor to teach her."

"I'm just a little worried." Yuna frowned uncomfortably. "To be honest, we didn't make her have many good memories. Lupine and I talked about her Boggart, and I thought, didn't we. . . ”

"What can't defeat you makes you stronger." Gina floated over and hugged Yuna gently, Yuna's ears turned red, "You are a good mother, my daughter."

"But if she can't do it, what will that Professor Snape do to Jacquelin?" Lucas asked looking around.

"I think," said Arthur, firmly, "that it's time for her to suffer a little."

"So, Dad." Walking on the path in front of the castle with James, Jacqueline looked at his father in puzzlement, why he was more leisurely than himself now, who had just anxiously said that he was going back. "What is a good and powerful memory?"

"It's love, my daughter." There was a gentle smile on the corner of James' mouth, and he looked forward firmly. He took out his wand from his robe, pointed to the front and said, "Call God to protect you." A mass of silver gas came from The end of the wand shoots out, forming a cute white sheep at the end.

"When I say this spell," James said, waving his wand in the air, the white sheep glanced back at them and ran into the forest. "I think about your mother. She gave me hope, made me happy, made me want to protect her, and want to live." James turned to look at Jacqueline, "This is a very profound magic, It speaks to your soul, and few people except Gryffindors are able to cast it before graduation. And even fewer Slytherins, because, let's be honest, they care more about themselves. James sighed.

"Maybe, in the future, you will find someone you are willing to sacrifice your life to protect, though." James shook his head, looking at Jacqueline very seriously, "When I think of some kid who wants to abduct my only daughter It made me very uncomfortable."

"I'll try, Father." Jacqueline replied, wrinkling his chin, "I won't let Professor Snape underestimate me."

James looked at Jacqueline, he wanted to say something, but finally fell silent. "I just hope you're safe." He reached out and touched Jacquelin's head, then disappeared.
