if i am not me

A sound of flapping wings rang in her ears, and the familiar rhythm made Mary happily put down the book in her hand and looked up out of the window.Sure enough, at this time, a beautiful snow owl flew towards her from the open window, and after a while, it landed firmly on her raised arm.

Teasing Hedwig with a chuckle, Mary neatly took off the somewhat heavy letter from its raised paw, and Hedwig shook its snow-white head in satisfaction.After feeding it some owl food Harry prepared for it, Mary put Hedwig on the owl stand at home, and couldn't wait to open the letter.

Like every letter before, Harry just told some trivial things that happened in the school in a flat manner, occasionally mixed with some anecdotes in the wizarding world.But it's these seemingly boring trivialities that always make the corners of Mary's lips curl up knowingly.After reading the letter, Mary opened the drawer next to the desk, took out the letter paper and began to dance with the pen in her hand.Although the general idea was nothing more than some words such as paying attention to the body that had been told tens of thousands of times, she took the trouble to say it again and again.

Hedwig rolled her big eyes and waited patiently until Mary tied a letter almost as thick as when she came and a package on its paws, and then it flew out of this beautiful building with wings flapping. mansion.

Touching the smooth parchment still in her hands, it took her a while before she carefully folded Harry's letter and put it in the desk drawer.Her expression seemed a little excited, because of the major event in the wizarding world mentioned in Harry's letter, and this event made Mary faintly look forward to Harry's holiday coming soon—the Quidditch World Cup, four The once-a-year global event will be held during this holiday.

As for Quidditch, Mary only knew that it was a very respected sport in the wizarding world, just like Muggles loved football.However, this did not prevent her from being very interested in it. On the contrary, she really wanted to know how those people played games on broomsticks.Of course, she would have preferred to see Harry play for her someday, because he had mentioned in his letter that they had won the Quidditch Cup again this year, and that he had been Seeker for two years.Every time I go home and see Harry carefully cleaning the Nimbus 2001 that sold her to him, Mary finds it incredible, because no matter what she does, it is not very useful for her. Just a broom.

As soon as the wizarding world was mentioned, Mary couldn't help but think of Remus Lupine, that shrewd but somewhat stupid man in some places.Maybe he didn't know he'd noticed the difference in him earlier - when he'd pulled all the pounds out of his pocket and handed the cashier the check for his less-than-£20 book.

In the Muggle world, wizards are actually very conspicuous, because they are a bit weird to ordinary people, and it is this weirdness that makes Mary notice him early.And after accidentally breaking his book, Mary insisted on "apology" to him because of her selfishness.She wanted to know more about Harry's world, the world full of magic.

During the discussion, Mary found that Lupine had always been careful to conceal the fact that he was a wizard. She heard Harry say that wizards should not let ordinary Muggles know that they exist.Mary believed that if there was not a little wizard in her family, she would never know that the magical things in fairy tales really existed.And when facing Lu Ping, she would only see him as a person who behaved a little weirdly.As the conversation deepened, Mary learned that he worked as a professor in a school, teaching children how to protect themselves.And I would buy books on zoology and botany that seem broad and profound, entirely because of personal hobbies.But recently, he seemed to be in urgent need of information on various animals and plants around the world. Hearing this, Mary volunteered to give him the help he needed. After all, this is not too difficult for her now.While Lupine was surprised by her enthusiasm, he also accepted her kindness with a smile, which showed that he was really in a hurry.

They had a pleasant conversation. When he learned that Mary was the mother of seven children, Mary couldn't help laughing at his surprised expression. Of course, she didn't miss his understanding expression when he knew that all seven children were adopted by her. ——Mary herself is very clear that it is very difficult to be the "biological" mother of seven children at her current age, whether it is in life or... But now there is no problem in life, and now the children It was Mary's greatest comfort that we all had the best education possible.

Later, thanks to her help, we also exchanged letters with him. Mary couldn't help chuckling when thinking of the fragrant handwriting on the folded letter just now.The man probably didn't realize that even though the paper was different, they were using the same ink.

Falling on the bed exhausted, Harry felt as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.Now, near the end of the term, he and Draco have turned the black book to more than 100 pages. At first, they thought it was just an academic book for Slytherin to record his life's painstaking efforts, but when they turned over the hundredth page It was found that their ideas were too naive, and it could even be said that they were too stupid-the black book that Slytherin had saved with such great care for his heirs would not only teach his heirs magic.But now it is only a superficial evaluation of some historical events that were insignificant at the beginning but seem to be very important now. If you want to know more, you can only work hard to improve yourself.

But at the same time, it has to be said that the syllables of the incantations are becoming more and more obscure and convoluted. As long as there is a small mistake, the entire incantation will have unexpected effects, which makes them suffer a lot.Tonight they tried a new spell they had been preparing for a long time, but the result was not satisfactory, although the result had been expected by them.

Repeating those monotonous and obscure syllables over and over again in his mind, he could only use this method to try to stop himself from thinking about any problems.But no matter how he emptied his mind, he finally remembered the back view of Draco waving his wand crazily in the secret room, and the upright figure of Draco chanting spells over and over again regardless of his limits.

Giving up trying to keep himself from thinking about Draco, Harry stared blankly in the direction of his presence in the dark.I don't know when it started, but I can't help but pay attention to his every move, so when he recently started to thirst for power like a madman, Harry was really at a loss.He had wondered if it was because he knew that "the one" would return, but knowing Draco he didn't think it was worth the effort.So what happened to make Draco what he is now?Turning over in agitation, Harry decided that sometime he needed to talk to Drake, even though he didn't even know how to ask the question right now.

The next day was sunny again, and this kind of weather seemed to bring everyone a good mood. Harry woke up early in the morning and saw Draco's long-lost bright smile, and suddenly felt a blockage in his heart lightly. He relaxed a bit, filled with oxygen.And after Potions class, Harry finally knew the source of Draco's good mood today. They are about to enter the fourth grade. For Slytherin students, after the fourth grade, they will be able to have a dormitory for two people It's not like five people squeeze into one room like now.For Slytherin students, several people sharing a dormitory is unbearable, especially after they are 14 years old.In fact, they prefer one room per person, but the school dismissed it on the grounds that individual rooms are too independent and easy to oversleep and arrive late.

The Slytherins who endured the five-person world for three years boiled after Snape officially announced the news. Of course, the special "care" for Slytherin made the same five-person world and will continue to do so in the future The Gryffindors responded with deep dissatisfaction, but this is a tradition of thousands of years, even if the Gryffindors roll their eyes and spit, it will not help.

On the way to the restaurant, Neville left early in the morning because he had an appointment with Ginny. Of course, Ron only knew that this kid seemed to have an appointment, and he still seemed to be subconsciously avoiding his buddies and sister so he could take this thing.At this moment, he was looking at Harry and Draco sadly with his mouth pouted. "Why can Slytherins share a dorm for two while we still have five?"

Hermione patted him on the head, although it made her stand on tiptoes - Ron seemed to be growing up, and was much taller than Hermione now. "If we have that many vacant rooms in our tower, we can certainly prepare one for you."

With a curl of his lips, Ron also knew how spacious the Slytherin common room was. You must know that most of the school's cellars belonged to them. He was just complaining casually, but Hermione always liked to be serious with him.

Harry and Draco looked at each other and laughed at this meaningless quarrel that had caused them a lot of headaches, and now they just felt more affectionate, after all, it meant that the two had finally reconciled.

"Harry!" At this moment, a familiar voice parted the crowd in front of them, making them stop.You don't need to look up at Drake to know who is coming, and resisting the urge to snort, Drake looked at the boy who was walking towards them indifferently.

Leo squeezed to Harry's side through the crowd, grinned and greeted the others, then excitedly asked about Harry's vacation. After all, the World Cup was already raging in the school.Harry also seemed quite happy to see Leo. Hermione, who noticed this, ignored Ron who was still muttering beside him. She gave Draco a meaningful look, and leaned over to him and whispered, " Draco, are you so sure you can share a dorm with Harry?"

Although it sounded like a very boring question, it was something Hermione was curious about.She really wanted to know what the kid would look like if Harry didn't get a room with him.

Hearing this, Draco just glanced at her lightly and raised his eyebrows casually. "Don't you think we won't be in a dormitory?"

"The assignment of the dormitory is arranged by the teachers after all, no one knows the result until the end, right?" Hermione didn't seem to feel the faint threat conveyed by the calm glance, she still smiled sweetly .

Draco smiled back at her, and whispered, looking extremely confident. "Then you don't have to worry about it."

Rolling her eyes bored, Hermione just couldn't understand how he seemed to have everything under control. How did a guy who hadn't had the courage to confess to him have such confidence?

The two chatted nonchalantly, no one noticed that after seeing the smiling faces of Harry and Leo, Draco closed his eyes gently to block the paleness that gradually penetrated into it.

No one noticed that when Harry saw Hermione and Draco's seemingly intimate behavior in the eyes of outsiders, he slightly turned his body sideways, as if he could ignore the inexplicable sadness in his heart...
