Doomed to be an enemy

"Harry, can I dance with you?" Qiu Zhang's crisp and pleasant voice made Harry startled, and he stared at the lady who was walking slowly, her figure was perfectly outlined by the silver dress robe Coming out, Qiu Zhang's hair was brushed up, and an elegant and slightly curly ponytail hung down.She looked stunningly beautiful.

But Harry was no longer the little boy who secretly liked her.He nodded gentlemanly, "Of course." Harry put the cup in his hand on a waiter's tray casually, and stretched out his hand with a smile.

On the other side, Hermione frowned tightly as she looked at the box opened by the boys, which was engraved with keys from ancient runes.She was not Ron, the guy who hadn't learned the ancient runes. Only the oldest manor, the manor handed down from Merlin's era, would use such a primitive and lost inheritance method.She had seen such a key in the literature—even the magic contract on it was higher than the current magic law.

But now, the contract signature on this key is blank.

Hermione took a deep breath, trying to suppress the shock of the gift - the fact that it was so abnormal that there was no warning. "Oh, that's...Harry and Qiu Zhang?" When she saw her best friend dancing on the dance floor and the other's first love.Hermione's brows twitched, and an inexplicable deep worry came to her mind.

"It's just a dance, there's no need to make a fuss." Fred and George looked at each other and whispered.

"But Ginny—"

"Cho Chang is Harry's first love, it's really not a big deal." Hermione agreed, and she glanced at Ron, who seemed a little surprised, and sighed, "This is a birthday party for Harry, Just let him do whatever makes him happy."

"Where are the two Death Eaters?" Hermione suddenly remembered this.

Ron finally came back to his senses, and said unhappily, "Roy and Noldo are watching them, over there." Hermione saw that two Death Eaters in the corner had noticed Harry and Cho— —It's not difficult at all. As the leader of the Order of the Phoenix that everyone knows, the place where Harry and Cho Chang danced was kindly moved away by everyone.

Hermione opened her mouth, feeling that it couldn't get any worse.

"I didn't expect you to agree." Qiu Zhang's cheeks flushed a little, "Harry, I saw you just now, and before I knew it..." "Qiu, listen to me." Harry looked at the girl he had once admired. "Actually, you are the first girl I have ever liked. When you were with Cedric, I admit that I am very jealous. I wish I could become him." Qiu said to He smiled, and Harry continued, "But after we tried, I realized that we might not be suitable."

"What about you now? Do you think so?" Qiu Fang lowered her voice, and her dance steps were driven by Harry, who stopped because the piece of music was over. "Sorry, I already have someone I like," Harry said.

Qiu was not very surprised, she showed a relieved smile: "Maybe I have been waiting for your words." She lowered her hands and stared fixedly at Harry's clear green eyes, there was indeed nothing in them that had attracted her attention. The heart-pounding emotion has a more convincing quality.

"Harry, the one you love is really happy."

Finally, she said so.

The eyes projected from all around were ambiguous. Looking at Qiu's figure, Harry felt that even that memory had become unreal and blurred.He also wanted to dance with Hermione, but when he glanced over there, he saw that the twins and Ron were all around Ginny, and even Hermione was talking with her arms around Ginny, and Harry stopped in his tracks.

He didn't want to go and experience Ron's iron fist now, Harry thought.

I took a glass of red cherry-flavored cocktail from the cold food area-the red color really suits Gryffindor.Harry paused and took an extra glass.His desire to go to the hidden place was in vain, and the witches and wizards he met on the road suddenly and frequently toasted him.

By the time Cia Flamel discovered the situation here and rushed over to save the scene, Harry had already emptied one of the wine glasses in his hand—although he tried his best to drink only one sip at a time. "Oh, Harry, so you're here." Taking advantage of the gap when no one was toasting, Mr. Flamel quietly snatched the empty glass from Harry, whose cheeks were flushed, and smiled helplessly: "Why don't you Take two wine glasses."

"Can't you?" Harry blinked, confused.

Siah Lemay looked at his drunken appearance and sighed: "I should have trained you a full set of etiquette. If you hold a wine glass in both hands, it means that you want others to drink with you, and it also means that you agree. Others come to toast."

Harry snorted, "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Flamel, I'll remember." He rubbed his forehead as if he had a headache.

"Really remember?" Sia Lemay was a little worried.

"Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom." Harry smiled apologetically at the master alchemist, and took two steps towards the manor building, Harry stopped, "Mr. I owe you a thank you." He said to Sia Lemay, who looked at him with some anxiety.

The master alchemist was startled, watching Harry's figure slowly leaving, and bowed slightly silently.

The temperature in Godric's Hollow is a bit chilly, and the sun in the sky can't help much.Suddenly, a golden rune halo suddenly lit up between the two houses. When Harry appeared in black dress robes, he gave himself a dozen warming spells. Even so, the wine glass in his hand suddenly became Bitter cold.

It was lunch break at this time, Godric's Valley was mostly reclusive elder wizards, the streets were clean, and there was no one there.Harry stopped for a while at the door of his once ruined home before walking into the cemetery in silence.He patiently searched for the tombstones one by one, and Harry knew that there must be one he wanted to see.

Suddenly, Harry caught his breath.The emerald green eyes that were clouded by alcohol gradually became complicated, he squatted down slowly, and stretched out his hand to caress the cold marble monument.The names Lily Potter and James Potter were carved like a set of meaningless symbols, coldly.

"Dad, Mom."

Harry muttered silently, with an irrepressible heat in his eyes.He choked for a long time before saying softly, "I'm sorry."

"I cannot avenge you."

Harry murmured, "I even spared the traitor who betrayed you." "And fell in love with the murderer who killed you."

"Everything looks terrible, doesn't it?"

He is definitely not what his parents expected him to be.That was so certain - it made Harry so bitter that he couldn't say a word to refute the notion.The guilt that has been suppressed is churning in the bottom of my heart like an ocean wave.

He could force himself not to pity the dead wizard, but he couldn't ignore his parents—the scar was there, even if he covered it up with responsibility, he still couldn't touch it. "The war should be over, maybe this is the only good news." Harry showed a calm smile, "Voldemort's soul will be complete in no time, and after he regains his sanity, I have to admit that no one is more suitable than him Rule the wizarding world."

"I'm sorry, I don't regret doing this," Harry said softly.

"I'm sorry, Dad, Mom..." "I'm sorry..." Harry let himself sit next to the tombstone, unconsciously resting his forehead against the edge of the cold marble, his emerald green eyes staring at the sarcophagus, as if he didn't see anything .

After a long time, Harry gradually closed his eyes, and after a long while, he opened them tiredly.He cleared the weeds near the headstone with his wand.Gently put the fiery red cherry-flavored cocktail in front of the tombstone, and summoned a lily wreath with a magic wand.

The faint scent of flowers was blown away by the wind, Harry stood up and stared at it silently for a while.The golden rune halo suddenly lit up.

He Apparated in front of his parents' tombstone.

When the sweet fragrance and the smell of flowers in the air became stronger, the soothing dance music of LeMay Manor continued.The banquet will continue into the evening.

Hermione spotted him when Harry stepped out of the hidden bushes in a low mood - she looked relieved. "Hermione." Harry pursed his lips, and said slowly, "Are you here to dance with me?" "No, actually," Hermione's tone was a little hasty, "You and Ginny broke up. Everyone already knows."

"So, are you going to punch me for Ron?" Harry said jokingly.

"Ron wanted to do this," Hermione spread her hands helplessly, "but I told him you liked a Muggle."

"A what?"

Harry was taken aback and said in surprise. "A Muggle," said Hermione quickly, "remember, the Muggle you were going to see the last time we went to Grimmauld Place to deliver the Wolfsbane potion. To stop Ron, I told him ..."

Hermione's tone became a little hesitant.When the latter was surprised by her sharpness, Harry motioned her to continue on the surface calmly: "Go on." Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, and said apologetically: "I told him you like Fucked a man."

Harry nodded slowly: "Hermione, thank you." His emerald green eyes fixed on the wise witch, "Every time you help clean up Ron and I's mess." "We are friends, aren't we?" Is it?" Hermione's face flushed suddenly, "Speaking of which, your gift is too heavy, Harry. There are not many manors like that in the wizarding world-I mean, it must be very expensive."

"But it's worth it," said Harry. "No offense, I mean, the Burrow is great, but I don't think it'd be suitable as a married home, you see, a manor would be better." He Looking at Hermione's hesitant expression, he smiled helplessly, "Don't be like this, Hermione, think about it from another angle, how much you have helped me-of course, this cannot be measured by money, because it is priceless. "

Hermione sighed: "Harry, you can always convince us." She was a little embarrassed, "But I think Ron may not be able to accept Ginny's matter for a while, I hope you don't mind." Harry shook Shaking his head, "I don't mind."

"However, I wanted to ask you to dance, and now it looks like I'm going to fail." Harry let himself show a relaxed and regretful expression, "I don't want to make it worse for Ron - breaking up with my lovely sister And coveting a girlfriend, my front teeth hurt a little."

Hermione was amused by him, she stretched out her hand silently: "I accept, you are the biggest today, aren't you?"

Harry was taken aback, then laughed too.

Holding hands with good friends, they walked slowly onto the dance floor.The weather was a bit muggy, but it was very cool in LeMay Manor.This makes slow ballroom dancing enjoyable. "I heard that you're going to the Ministry of Magic?" Harry asked softly.

They are not close.

Hermione explained as she followed his footsteps: "It's the head of the Office of the Law Enforcement Department. The last time we won the position from the Death Eaters, the Order of the Phoenix thinks we should also have our own people in the Ministry of Magic."

"That's good, but that's Voldemort's territory, I don't recommend going any further." Harry reminded kindly.You must know that the Dark Lord has never been easy to talk to, and he has been in the Ministry of Magic for a long time, so the Order of the Phoenix is ​​completely at a disadvantage in this regard.

"You're right." Hermione was a little dizzy and said with narrowed eyes, "Since the Order of the Phoenix has such a great reputation among the people, it might not look good to get involved in the Ministry of Magic. Therefore, we decided to contact the official As a side note, the Phoenix Society established a research institution as a ostensible organization, and in fact, Mr. LeMay has already agreed."

Hermione whispered what had happened during this time.

The song ended quickly, and Harry saw Ron unsurprisingly, staring at him with an unhappy expression.Harry thought for a moment, but walked towards his friend without avoiding it. "It seems that you are having a good time." Ron's tone seemed unpleasant.

"I knew you would say that." Harry stopped Hermione from opening his mouth, blinked, and coughed, "Ron, would you like to dance with me? As a testament to our friendship " "What—?" Ron was stunned, his whole expression wrinkled, and he couldn't say a word for a while.

Hermione couldn't help laughing.She quickly pursed her lips, walked to her boyfriend calmly, and said in a normal tone, "Ronald, now it's your turn." Harry also endured it very hard. He watched Ron's expression change like a palette After reading it again, I heard the other party say dryly: "I, I don't know how to dance women's steps."

"That's a pity." Harry spread his hands, and walked away slowly and calmly.

Ron breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized something was wrong: "Hey, Harry has become cunning, and I came to settle accounts with him. He couldn't fall in love with a man and dumped my sister." "Oh, stay away from me, Ron, you just look like you've just been dumped."

The banquet lasted until evening.In the second half, Harry took the initiative to go to the cold food area to get two glasses of wine. He was warmly received by D·A, and the Weasley twins dragged the reluctant Ron to join the ranks.Harry accepted it all with a smile, now that he felt the benefits of the powerful magic, at least he really didn't want to get drunk, so he wouldn't get drunk.

So much so that when Fred and George's eyes were a little straight - Ron pushed away the two drunkards who were leaning on him in disgust, and Harry could still easily greet the elders with a glass of wine.He greeted Professor McGonagall's recent situation, blessed Moonface and Tonks, and clinked glasses with the enthusiastic Greer and his brothers and sisters.Distantly, he saluted Alastor Moody, who was alone to one side, who silently raised his flagon in response.

When the red clouds filled the sky in the evening, Harry had just finished drinking with his guards. "Mr. Potter, it's almost time." One of the two Death Eaters couldn't help standing up.

Harry was stunned for a moment, and the bright smile on his face gradually disappeared. This made Ron, who was hesitantly walking not far behind him, make up his mind. He walked over quickly to block Harry behind him, and said to them with a cold face : "It's still early for the banquet." He forcefully dragged Harry away. The latter blinked his green eyes and watched his friend's angry figure with a smile.

"Actually, he's right," said Harry quietly. "It's almost time."

"But you don't want to leave at all, do you?" Ron walked between two bushes before letting go and scratching his hair irritably. "Ron, I'm glad you did, and to be honest, I'm sorry about Ginny."

"Who told you that—" said Ron, suppressing his anger. He looked very angry. "Listen, man, if you don't want to go, we'll get them out of here for you." wand.Harry stopped him quickly, "No, Ron, thank you. But I really have to go there."

"Healer, you know," Harry said, and he heard Ron mutter "I don't know why you're asking You-Know-Who to help" with a mischievous grin, "I don't want to Apparate back, though. We're here Any more Firebolts?"

Ron hesitated for a moment, with a weird expression on his face: "You mean the broomstick..." He cleared his throat, "Uh... Actually, there is a better one." "What?"

Ron looked away uncomfortably at Harry, staring at a flower that was about to bloom, and said in an extremely small voice: "I ask Malfoy, Draco Malfoy from Bought a new broom from 'Grumpy Goblin' in a secret location. It's the only collector's edition before mass production."

"I mean, that's a nice birthday present, you like Quidditch so much, it wouldn't be bad to ride a broomstick there once in a while." Ron blushed unconsciously, "But if you prefer If the Firebolt-"

"No, Ron. I like your gift very much." Harry recovered from his surprise and showed a bright smile from the heart.

This made Ron, who caught a glimpse, hold his breath and frowned in distress. Harry looks pretty good, otherwise he wouldn't be so popular with girls—that is, Harry himself didn't think so.Perhaps such a look is also popular with men?

Ron was having a hard time feeling his nerves were knotted. Best friends liked men, and he and Hermione might have to be more careful in the future.It's not the same as before, and there must be a lot more people who have Harry's idea.Ron gave Harry a thoughtful smile, then he took a deep breath, waved his wand and said, "Here comes the 'golden light' for Harry Potter—"

It was indeed a golden light, brighter than the stars in the falling night.Almost in the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of them.Harry stared in amazement at the shiny gold, all-metal broom handle, streamlined shape and neat broom tail.

"This is amazing, have you tried it? How is it?"

Ron shrugged: "Of course, I have to make sure it's safe. It's too sensitive compared to the Firebolt, because these metals are made of magic-conducting materials comparable to Mithril, and they're quite light." He said with lingering fear, " I wouldn't even fly it at a steep angle to the ground - it's so fast, you can tell from the name."

"Thank you, Ron." Harry said happily, and he opened his arms to give his best friend a big hug—this made Ron stunned for a while, and then gave him a light hug in discomfort. "Don't you try?" His tone was finally not so cramped.

"of course."

Then, a shining golden meteor suddenly rose from LeMay Manor, and Harry purposely rode his broom to slow down in front of the two Death Eaters with their mouths wide open. "How do I get to Malfoy Manor?" he asked. "Wow, this is so cool—" Noldo whistled in admiration, and Roy silently raised his finger in one direction. "Nuo Duo, please help me say goodbye to everyone, I will go first."

"No problem, leader." Noldo replied with a smile.

"Oh, Mr. Potter, the master has told you that you cannot—"

Harry jerked his broom handle up, and golden light whizzed straight up into the sky - almost in the blink of an eye.The Death Eater's rapid, breathless words were blurred behind him by the wind.It got colder as it went up, until the lights on the ground turned into tiny stars, Harry slowed down.Trembling, he gave himself a dozen warm spells.

"It's really fast enough. The Quidditch pitch may not be able to fly." Harry muttered.He looked down again at the blurry LeMay estate on the ground.After identifying the direction, he accelerated suddenly.

Today's starry sky is extraordinarily beautiful.Harry noticed that all of London was clear and cloudless, and he smelled magic in it.This is just convenient for flying, the speed of the golden light has been exerted to the extreme, Harry only felt that everything around him was blurred, only the front could be seen clearly, and he flew over a distance of several hundred feet with just one breath.

His robe was pressed against his body by the wind, and it was chilly.Until he flew out of London, he saw the ancient railway tracks of the Hogwarts Express, across the mountains and fields, and when the moon was high in the sky, he saw Hogwarts Castle standing high in the mountains.

It's holiday time, and there are only a handful of lights on in the castle.

Harry stopped slowly, and he silently stared at the majestic castle covered in shadows, the vast expanse of forest, and the bottomless lake in the night.He could still see the village of Hogsmeade not far away, where the biggest Honeydukes shop and the Three Broomsticks were still lit, as was the Hog's Head.

That familiar feeling was like an invisible voice, inviting him to join.Harry showed a peaceful smile, watching all this from high in the sky.After a long time, he reluctantly and slowly turned the handle of the broom, and the golden meteor flew rapidly towards Malfoy Manor in the night.

When passing through the spontaneous protective magic of the magic building, an inexplicable force around made the broom suddenly accelerate——

Harry hurriedly turned the broom and quickly cast the slowing spell, and the bright glass in the spinning field of vision became bigger and bigger. There was a crisp "bang", which was really loud in the quiet night.The windows of the master bedroom at Malfoy Manor were shattered—

This woke up Voldemort, who was sitting in the armchair with his lips pursed in anger.
