if i am not me

A year later, he came to Malfoy Manor again. Looking at the garden completely different from the summer scenery, Harry felt once again that the name of one of the few remaining magical manors in the wizarding world really deserved its name. .Look at those gorgeous and magnificent decorations, it just makes the manor in winter less bleak and cold, and adds a bit of festive joy without losing its own solemnity.

It seems that even though the dance party was canceled this year due to some special reasons, the host has put a lot of effort into arranging and organizing it.

Harry, who was sitting by the window, came to this conclusion, gently closed the page in his hand, and smiled lightly.

It was already evening when they arrived at King's Cross station in London yesterday after all the teasing.On the platform, they met Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Longbottom who came to pick up the children. I have to say that the atmosphere of the scene at that time was really... Subtle enough.

In any case, even if Harry and Drake knew that the Malfoy family was now "on the same side" as the Order of the Phoenix, Ron and even Mr. Weasley himself didn't know anything about it.Therefore, the unexpected encounter made several people a little embarrassed-Ron originally planned to leave alone with Ginny as soon as he got out of the car.

Of course, Mr. Weasley would not embarrass his son's friends. He smiled and chatted with Harry and Drake as always, but several good partners could still tell that when facing Neville and Hermione, Mr. Weasley His attitude is much more cordial and natural.Fortunately, the arrival of the twins made the scene a little more heated, but they couldn't say a few more words, because the few of them couldn't help but start to revolve around the "joke store" as soon as they met, and this was obviously completely inappropriate for Wes. Mentioned in front of Mr. Lai.

After winking, Ron and the twins followed Mr. Weasley.It was at this time that Harry and Draco, who just wanted to say goodbye to their friends, ran into Mrs. Longbottom who came to accept Wei.

What to say.

Mrs. Longbottom is undoubtedly kind, but she comes across as more serious and tough.Harry respected this strong old lady very much in his previous life. After all, there are not many old people who can be so active and brave to send their only grandson, which they managed to bring up, to the battlefield after their son and daughter-in-law were tortured mad by Death Eaters .And the old man in front of me has done it. Not only has she done it, but she has also raised the world's "savior" in this world that has lost her son and daughter-in-law.

Is Neville good?

Harry's answer was without a doubt.

Maybe his academic performance is far from as amazing as his friends, and he even has the title of "Crucible Killer"; maybe his flying skills are still so bad that Professor McGonagall banned him Then use the broomstick; maybe his little forgetfulness is sometimes ridiculous, and even causes everyone a little trouble... Yes, if you just look at the school report card, he is just a very ordinary person. boy.In addition to his amazing talent in herbal medicine, he couldn't compare with his friends, not to mention Hermione and Draco, even Harry, who had always been low-key, and Ron, who looked carefree.

However, it is such a boy with a round face who smiles kindly, and has never shirked or flinched in the face of the responsibilities he should bear.

He is only 15 now.

Harry couldn't remember what kind of mentality he was at the age of 15, but he can say with certainty that his mental maturity at that time was far inferior to that of Neville now.Even with Dumbledore's enlightenment, he was still a child at that time, thinking more about his own misfortune and grievances, rather than being like Neville... He had vaguely put the responsibility of the war on his shoulders .

This is the difference between Neville and him. Different environments create different "saviors".

Harry sighed faintly when he thought of the scene where Neville was familiar with those Aurors who had been protecting him.He didn't miss the guard in those people's eyes, nor the scrutiny in Mrs. Longbottom's eyes, but in his opinion, this was a normal reaction, after all, he and Draco were Slytherins, and behind Draco's name, there was also a With the surname Malfoy.

"Harry." Just as he was still wandering, a small head popped out from behind the door, followed by another...

Harry, who just came back to his senses, saw the two small heads of Lucy and Lu Wei stacked one above the other. From the position of the heads, it can be seen that they were lying on the ground.A little speechless, Harry smiled brightly at the two children who were almost ten years old but still full of childishness.

Lucy and the others came many days earlier than him and Draco, but it was already very late when they returned to Malfoy Manor last night, so Lucy and Lu Wei who were already asleep did not see him and Draco.

"Why do you get up so early?" Putting down the book in his hand, he stretched out his arms towards the two children, and then saw them get up from the ground quickly, and fell into his arms involuntarily.

"Harry, Harry. I miss you so much." Lucy was taller than half a year ago, but even so, she seemed to never grow up in front of Harry. "Me too, me too." At this time Lu Wei said not to be outdone, the coquettish tone in his tone was a little less coquettish, but it seemed a little urgent.It seems that this kid already has the consciousness of a little man, but he is still a little edgy.

Rubbing the cheeks of the two dotingly, Harry held them in his arms, and began to ask about their "growth experience" in the past six months. Lucy and Lu Wei were very happy when they saw this, and they immediately chatted with him in high spirits. Talk about the things they wanted to share with him.In fact, they couldn't wait to talk to Harry last night. Unfortunately, because Harry arrived too late, the two who were rushed to bed early waited for a whole night.

"... Dobby is really amazing, he can learn everything fast!" Lu Wei mentioned Dobby, the light in his bright eyes could dazzle Harry's eyes, but Harry could understand his state of mind, thinking He was also amazed for a while when he saw the powerful magic that Dobby could use after he was unbound.You know, it knocked Lucius out with just one finger...

It's just that I didn't expect that Dobby would contact him in this way in this life.

"Yeah, the clothes Dobby made for Lilith are so beautiful." As she spoke, Lucy didn't forget to take out the Barbie doll she carried with her and showed Harry the delicate little dress on the doll. .

Didn't expect it to do this...

Twitching the corners of his eyes, staring at the little handmade skirt, Harry couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Dobby is really more versatile now.And... not yet betrayed - of course, maybe that's just because it didn't have the chance.

"Lucy, Lu Wei, Harry. Come downstairs and have breakfast." Suddenly, a high-pitched female voice sounded outside the door, and then the door of the room was opened again, and it was Joan who came.

Joan is almost 17 this year. With her tall figure and good facial features, it is completely impossible to imagine how ordinary and thin this beautiful girl was a few years ago.Fortunately, because of "that person", several brothers and sisters in the family stayed at home obediently and were taught by tutors, so Mary didn't have to worry about too many young men going to fight in the streets and alleys because of her.

"Okay, right away." Seeing Joan, Harry immediately let go of the arms around the two little guys, pulled them to stand up, and followed Joan to the dining room of Malfoy's house.

When they arrived at the restaurant, there was no one else in the restaurant, only a few house elves dutifully standing in the corner, waiting for the host or guests to call at any time.

"Where are Will and the others?" Looking at the empty chairs beside the dining table, Harry asked strangely.Although he and Lucy came down late, it wasn't too late for everyone to leave.Turning around to look at a desk clock in the middle of the restaurant, it is only past 9 am.

Hearing Harry's question, Joan shrugged slightly, and pulled out a chair for Lucy to sit on, "I have already followed Draco, and you still expect them to sit here obediently and eat breakfast?"

Drake? !

Harry was taken aback when he heard that, and then smiled knowingly.That's right, Ivery and Aiwen's jumping temperament, coupled with Ruth's love for plants, it's no wonder that they can sit still in this manor full of mysterious magic.I'm afraid that they have already traveled to every corner that they can travel by themselves in the past few days, and the rest is waiting for the little master Draco to take them to explore slowly after he returns.

No wonder Draco hadn't come to see him this morning.

"Why didn't you go?" After settling down with a smile, Harry himself sat down, and then saw the house elf named Tutu bringing a few elves whom he had never seen before putting plates of food on the table. to them.Uh, I will remember it all because of the bright yellow tea towel... It is said that the elves in this manor are all wearing tea towels of different colors now, and he can tell them by color.

"Aunt Narcissa took me shopping a long time ago." She raised her eyebrows triumphantly, and Joan couldn't help laughing thinking about the disheveled look of Aiwen and the others after they bumped into each other. "The scenery of the manor needs to be seen by someone. Only by explaining it in detail can we better taste it. Like them, tsk... really ruined the scenery here."

Well, as a boy, Harry wanted to say that he could understand Willy's choice, but it was better not to say it in front of Joan.Thinking of this, he took a sip of juice very calmly, "By the way, why haven't you seen Mary and Uncle Lucius?"

"It should be in the study room. They've been discussing the company's affairs for the past few days. We had an event this Christmas, and the business was very good." Situ Tutu filled the glass in front of Lu Wei with milk, and Joan stared dissatisfied. Looking at her Lu Wei, she said threateningly, "If you don't drink milk, you won't grow taller."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Wei picked up the cup without any objection.

"Who doesn't drink milk?" Draco heard Joan's words as soon as he entered the door, and the corners of his lips suddenly curved into a nice arc.And Ai Wen behind him glanced at the scene in the restaurant, walked to Lu Wei and sat down next to Lu Wei, put his palm on top of his head and said carelessly, "Who else, no one here except him will I need milk." After speaking, he didn't forget to increase the strength in his hand and rubbed it fiercely.

"Aiwen, don't touch my head." Shouting to push away Aiwen's hand, Lu Wei, who just drank the milk in one breath, was not happy to hear what he said, and felt him rubbing his head again, then Even more unhappy.In front of Ivan, Lu Wei was not as obedient as he was in front of Harry.

Joan didn't pay attention to Lu Wei and Aiwen who were fighting, but instead rushed to the end of Luther and Viri and asked, "Why did you come back?"

It seemed she was surprised that they had returned so early.

"It's snowing." Viri, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall, patted the water droplets on his hair that had melted from ice crystals, and walked towards the fireplace without saying a word. "If you keep going, you can pile them up at night."

And Ruth behind him shook his hat, went to Harry, took a piece of bread from his plate, stuffed it into his mouth, and said inarticulately, "Ha, maybe we can have a snowball fight tomorrow."

"You know about snowball fights." Glancing at Ruth contemptuously, Joan put half an apple on Lucy's dinner plate, and then stared at Willy and the others with a half-smile, "How was your shopping this morning?" ?”

It has to be said that once the topic of Malfoy Manor is opened, it will be full of content.A few days ago, the few people who were extremely embarrassed because they refused the "tour guide" to go on an adventure alone listened to Joan's inquiry, and immediately talked to them about the allusions that Drake had just introduced to them with joy.And as the topic deepened, they gradually surrounded Draco and Harry, and asked a lot about magic and the wizarding world with excitement.

In fact, you can't blame them for having such a reaction.

Although because of Harry's relationship, Willy and the others know the wizarding world very well compared to ordinary Muggles.But Muggles are Muggles, and when the only wizard in the family is often not at home, they have questions of one kind or another, and because they can't find anyone to answer them, they can only suppress them in their hearts.In the past year, due to the cooperative relationship between Mary, the Malfoy family and Lupine, they had more opportunities to get in touch with magical affairs, but they also had more questions.

You know, having a backlog of issues is not a good thing.

So after they came to Malfoy Manor, it's not that they never thought of asking Narcissa or Lucius to explain their doubts. However, after three or four times, even Ivan, who has always been the most nervous, was embarrassed.

Fortunately, Harry and Draco were on vacation within a few days.Now, the few people who finally seized an opportunity to satisfy their curiosity are holding on tight - after all, such opportunities don't come along every day.

So Harry and Draco spent most of the day wrestling with the siblings' problems of one sort or another.By the time they finally got a chance to be alone, it was after dinner.

After finally pulling Harry into his room, Draco carefully locked the door, then turned around and hugged Harry, and rubbed his chin on his shoulder hard.

For a whole day, they didn't find a few chances to talk to each other.

Drake's actions caused a tingling sensation in Harry's shoulder, and he paused, and the nice laughter echoed in Drake's ears, making him involuntarily hug the person in his arms.

But Harry had business to talk about in his room.

Aware of Drake's thoughts, Harry blushed slightly, but said seriously, "Draco, have you found a solution?"
