war and peace

Dumbledore announced the news himself at the last dinner of the semester.Most of the students expressed their shock and regret, but at the same time they were looking forward to the moment when Professor Gunter became the principal.Some people have already thought about the vacancy of the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts in the future, but these few voices are basically drowned in the heated discussion about Professor Gunter.

During the summer vacation, Harry returned to Slytherin Manor.Rather than disturbing his aunt's family at number four, Privet Drive, he might as well have stayed where he could use magic at will.Not only that, but he can also fly in the air on a Firebolt without worrying about being seen by Muggles at all-as long as he doesn't fly out of the range of the Muggle Repelling Spell that comes with the castle.

It was very quiet in the castle, no one bothered them.Voldemort spent most of his time in his study, and he had a lot of things to attend to.The official appointment of the Hogwarts Board of Trustees has come down, and he is now succeeding Dumbledore as the new Headmaster.

The Death Eaters - oh no, the knights - were used to it.Compared with the previous plan to expand the Muggle world (where the Lestranges have achieved both fame and fortune), the fact that the Dark Lord intends to play as the headmaster of a magic school by himself does not touch their nerves at all.Isn't that obvious, since there's still a savior in school, huh?

At the same time as receiving the results of the two exams, Harry also received his letter of appointment (and he readily agreed to it himself) as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.Of course, there is the word assistant in front of it. After all, he is really young, and it is normal to have a trial period, because the matter of hiring him has already broken the historical record.Hermione had sent him a letter of congratulations, but Harry couldn't help but wonder how he'd have to put up with Hermione's barrage of questions when lessons actually started.

As for Dumbledore, Harry hadn't seen him since the term dinner.According to Voldemort, the only way to find him is to go to the notorious concentration camp in Nurmengard. "Grindelwald probably has one breath left," he said emotionlessly.

Harry was completely unimpressed by his icy tone.Even if there were really not a few years left, he felt that dying without regrets was completely different from having to design his own death.But he didn't want to run afoul of Voldemort over the issue (for Merlin's sake, it was pointless), so he didn't say a word.

Halfway through the holiday, Harry was called up one morning by Voldemort.This was rare, as it was usually breakfast prepared by Selpt (a food prepared by a basilisk, Harry had been amazed at this) when he opened his eyes.

"What's the matter today?" Harry rubbed his eyes and got up.He shared a bed with Voldemort, no doubt, but the latter was so busy that it was rare for Harry to wake up with Voldemort still around.

"Let's go out together." Voldemort was fully dressed and had obviously been up for a while.He reached out and pinched Harry's nose, then shaved his cheek.

Harry grabbed the scrambling hand and was really sober now. "Where are you going?" Voldemort actually needed to take him there?

Voldemort pursed his lips, his face looking unwilling to tell the truth. "You'll know when we get there." Judging by his boy's reaction, he must have really forgotten it, right?

Harry glanced at his face, and couldn't help but be very suspicious.Even if you go to Azkaban, you don't have to be so cautious, right?He came up with a wild guess.

The result certainly wasn't a wizard's prison.

Half an hour later, just as Harry shook off the dizziness of apparating, he saw a street that seemed familiar to him.There are people coming and going on the street, it's very lively... wait a minute!Harry's eyes widened, this is not Diagon Alley, but the streets of the Muggle world!To be precise, he had actually been here, before he went to Hogwarts to go to school.

"You... don't you..." Are you going to take me to the zoo?Or the zoo of the Muggle world?Harry was tongue-tied, staring at the metal gate in front of him - and couples of parents walked past him pulling or carrying their children - and the conversation inevitably froze.

The savior and the dark lord go to... the zoo?Is it a little too spooky?

While Voldemort enjoyed Harry's surprise, he didn't like the way the Muggles looked at them (the looks were too good). "I thought this was your expectation," he said with a straight face on purpose, and his voice was also stiff: "Maybe you think this is self-indulgence?" Of course, he would never admit that he had been planning this for a long time.

"No, of course not!" Harry finally recovered and pulled him back. "You can see the door, how can you leave like this?"

It was summer vacation, and there were many tourists in the zoo.Pairings like Harry and Voldemort turn heads because they both look like grown-ups, and it's only natural that two big men go to the zoo - and both are charmingly handsome guys.

"You still remember." Harry turned around several halls excitedly, and finally thought of the reason when he saw the signboard of the Reptile Hall.It was in this zoo that he had first received the idea of ​​Voldemort upon his return—who had been outwitting Dumbledore into the teaching job he had always wanted, momentarily overwhelmed by his elation.And before that, he had hopelessly imagined that his parents brought him instead of his aunt's family. "Is this a form of compensation? But I'd rather imagine it as a date."

"As you please." Seeing the bustling crowd, Voldemort felt very irritable, but seeing Harry's enthusiasm, that emotion was suppressed a little. "Seems kind of bad if it's a date spot," he commented unceremoniously.

"Come on, this is much better than Professor Dumbledore." Harry walked through the crowd, holding Voldemort's hand, "Concentration camps in the wizarding world..." His voice dropped.

Voldemort looked at him amusedly; the latter was clearly looking for something he didn't want to poke. "The latest news is that someone has ordered a lot of household items to Nurmengard in Grindelwald's name. Of course, it's hard to say whether to buy or give away."

"You even know that?" Harry was taken aback. "Is it Professor Dumbledore? Is it really okay to live in that place?"

"One of the strongest white wizards in history, a former Dark Lord, do you think they can't find a suitable place to live?" Voldemort retorted sharply.

"Exactly." Harry scratched his hair with his free hand.He was too nervous to think about magic.As long as Dumbledore and Grindelwald are willing, what else is impossible?

And at this time, they arrived at the place they were looking for, in front of a large transparent glass box.The brand on the outside used to be the Brazilian python, but now there is an additional explanation, which is the unfounded longevity.

"Hello." Harry leaned closer to the glass and whispered to the pile of argyle patterns.

The coiled snake quickly raised its head, staring at Harry with yellow eyes. "Oh, it's you," it easily recognized Harry, and swam with its tail wagging. This action immediately attracted several visitors, "You're back..." Then it rolled its eyes and saw Harry. The tone of the people around Li suddenly changed from plain to excited: "Oh, dear, you finally appeared!"

Honey?For no apparent reason, Harry felt the stark distinction.It was like this before going to school, and it is still like this after graduation.In order to save a little bit of face, he bit the bullet and answered: "You said I couldn't, but I finally managed to do it!" Although he felt that it is not honorable to show off a snake, its tone really made him uncomfortable .

Miss Snake seemed to have finally noticed the hands of the two people, and she was taken aback: "This is impossible!"

Unkindly, Harry felt his heart jump.Voldemort received his demonstrative gaze, lowered his head helplessly, and kissed him on the cheek.This movement was not large and did not affect the surrounding tourists.

"This...you..." Miss Snake, who was in front of them, had probably been hit too hard, and coiled herself into a ball again.

Harry pulled Voldemort away two steps, and then pouted in its direction: "What did you say to it before?" He wanted to have a pleasant chat, but it ruined him as soon as he opened his mouth. Mood.Would even snakes fall under Voldemort's charm?

Voldemort thought he was innocent. "I just chatted with her for a while, and by the way, I mentioned that my nemesis might also come to see her. And, what do you think Nagini will think? It is enough to have a snake that can snarl at its master."

Just chatting?she?Harry automatically filtered the latter words, and the previous scene began to emerge in his mind: how Voldemort coaxed old Mrs. Smith to be happy, and even made the latter show him treasures that he never showed to his relatives.It's really terrible, you can't stop watching it for a moment!

"I'm going back," Harry said decisively.Voldemort could presumably make his hormones work across species if he wanted to!

"Are you sure?" Voldemort raised his eyebrows. "I don't guarantee that I will still be in the mood to accompany you around the Muggle world in the future."

"Couldn't be more sure!" Harry grabbed his hand and Apparated into a remote corner.And it wasn't until the surrounding scene turned into the marble walls inside the castle that he thought of asking the most crucial point: "Have you planned this for a long time? Why did you choose today?"

"Today is your birthday, Harry." Voldemort was really helpless.Why would the savior himself have completely forgotten about this matter?All his thoughts were wasted.

"My birthday?" Harry's eyes widened. "But Sirius and Hermione..." Why didn't you give me a present?Harry swallowed the second half of the sentence, and replaced it with an angry expression: "You stopped their present!"

"I just wanted to surprise you." Voldemort spread his hands. "I thought you'd think of it...at least after seeing the snake."

Harry looked at him.He used to remember every birthday he had, because no one thought about that except himself.But now, the situation is completely reversed.Thinking about it this way, he didn't really want Voldemort to retract his disappointed tone. "I'm so happy...uh, I love it." Something hit him somewhere in the heart.Not everyone will remember the small details that are fleeting, so they are all the more precious.

"Don't be too moved, I promise there will never be a next time." Voldemort saw his expression and heard his almost incoherent words, blinking his eyes. "Congratulations on becoming an adult again, Harry."

Harry jumped forward and hugged him without any explanation, and buried his face in the other's chest.

Serpt was just coming up with a silver tray, and when he saw this, he quietly backed away and closed the door for them.No wonder Pai Xi always wanted to change positions with him, in fact, he didn't want to see this kind of situation at all, right?

Meanwhile, Miss Snake at the zoo finally thought of the most important question: whoever wins, shouldn't they remember to let her out of the glass case?It doesn't want to stay in a glass box forever!The big snake raised its head again and looked around, but the two people had disappeared.Will it last long enough for them to think of the zoo again?

postscript:

This article is an idea born after the completion of the seven novels. The loss of the original book gave me the motivation to write a new story.Even if it's just a fiction, since I'm starting to write, I'm willing to try my best to give the characters in the book a relatively regrettable ending.

Life is full of ups and downs, and there are several cool autumns. Thank you for your patience in listening to me tell this very long story.Without you, I wouldn't have made it to the end.

Finally, may all people live better in their world.Whether it's Voldemort or Harry or someone else, as long as we believe.

PS The remaining extra chapters will be updated in the next few days, one each for Hermione, Snape, Dumbledore, and Barty Crouch Jr.They have their past and their future.
