HP's return to innocence

"Prison break." After returning to the dormitory that night, Guan Mian sat in the living room and said seemingly unintentionally.

"Gold Cup." Draco shrugged. If others heard it, they would probably think they were doing a guessing game, or a game of solitaire.

In fact, what Crown wants to ask is "Is the prison break related to you?"

Drake's answer was: "Of course, it's the gold cup."

Obviously, this is not a conclusion drawn by Drake's speculation, but what he has always known before, and he may even be one of the decision-makers on this matter. After all, the platinum nobleman is increasingly disregarding his son as a The child watched.

But Drake didn't reveal it to him at all, which made Guan Guan a little depressed, "Things will affect a lot." The posture appeared in front of the world, coupled with the deterrence of the Dark Mark, then, by then, there must be many nobles who have "repented" and returned to the Dark Lord's command.

"You probably forgot the other one." Draco smiled.

"Diary?" That guy was indeed used by Lucius as a substitute for a while. Crown thought that after the golden cup was born, the platinum nobles would no longer need him. Did he still use it?It seems that what the Platinum Noble once said about raising two Dark Lords was not a joke.

"But..." Draco, who was still a little smug, suddenly frowned.

"what?"

"No, it's nothing." His brows were still frowning, but in the end he just shook his head and said nothing.

Guan Guan didn't know how many times he thought that it would be great if that contract was bound to this little bastard from the Malfoy family, so that he would not be able to hide it by himself, let alone deceive himself.Helpless, reality is always cruel~

What made Drake frown was actually those nobles who might "repent" that Crown thought.In fact, if it wasn't necessary, neither Malfoy nor he would touch the Death Eaters in Azkaban.

Before entering Azkaban, they may be inconspicuous little people, they may be officials of the Ministry of Magic, or they may be well-dressed nobles. At that time, they had property, family, and family members, but after entering Azkaban , and they were all prisoners of nothing but their faith in the Dark Lord.

Not to mention that this group of people has also endured the torture of dementors for more than ten years, and they have even lost their sanity.The lethality of such a group of people must be huge.The two Malfoys were confident that they could control Voldemort, but not so confident that they could control such a group of lunatics.

The tremendous pressure and sense of urgency brought by this group of lunatics, coupled with the unfriendliness of the Ministry of Magic and the entire wizarding society towards pure-blood nobles for more than ten years-although through various actions of the Malfoy family in the past two years, this unfriendly It has improved a lot, but it is only for some nobles with more flexible brains and wrists, and those who stubbornly maintain tradition and are less courageous are not among them.In addition, as the "kind" Dark Lord, the appearance of the diary is too pink and harmless...

Once the return of the Demon King is staged at that time, the nobles who are pulled over will definitely exceed the expectations of the father and son.This also means that once the war is over, the aristocratic circle will face another round of cleansing, which is definitely not the victory that Drake and Lucius hoped for.

In fact, the Platinum Nobles didn't want Voldemort to appear in public so soon, but...the situation outside is not as good as it is in the school.

As Lucius stepped forward to enter the Muggle world in business, he encountered more and more resistance and difficulties within the nobles and the Ministry of Magic. At this time, it was no longer Garen's problem.

Those large enterprises need more and more manpower. Squibs, half-bloods, and even muggle wizards, as well as Muggle relatives of half-blood wizards, are no longer enough, and the proportion of real Muggles is increasing.The old-fashioned nobles were dissatisfied with Lucius' pro-Muggle attitude, and even the former collaborators began to waver.The Ministry of Magic is also dissatisfied with the big movement made by the Malfoy family. Some people have publicly stated: "What Lucius Malfoy has done is more likely to subvert the magic world than the previous Dark Lord." And this view has been recognized by many people .

The anonymous roaring letter with curses is already a child's play. During this period, Lucius was even assassinated several times.Some of them were sent by the Ministry of Magic and the old-fashioned nobles, but some were purely out of "justice" to protect the wizarding world-Lucius had never met so many righteous people when he was a Death Eater.

The Platinum Noble hasn't suffered too much damage because of his good skills from Voldemort's time to the present, and also because of luck, but he can't be so lucky every time.At this time, we need to launch a bigger and more attention-grabbing target...

This target has no one else but Voldemort, but how to let the world know that the Dark Lord is back in the shortest possible time?Could it be that Jin Bei went to Diagon Alley for a walk?

Then there is only evil, and it is an evil thing with huge influence and endless troubles.Things like extermination of the family are really not in line with the Malfoy family's policy - if you really want to suppress a family, then Malfoy will definitely make the other family down, and life is worse than death - and such things are likely to be regarded as someone who used food to If you do evil in the name of the Dead Apostles, then there is only Azkaban to rob the prison.

And no matter what happened afterwards, it was better for others to cry in pain than to have their own father hurt.Anyway, most of the friends who were important to him followed his father this time, and the only ones that worried Draco now were the Greenglass family.

With the current situation, he and Astoria have almost no future, but what about his little scorpion?

The next morning, more people started talking about the escaped prisoners from Azkaban, and what was not reported in the Daily Prophet yesterday, or even in any other newspaper, that there was a black devil floating in the sky of Azkaban prison. Flagged messages.

No one knows where the news came from, but for some reason, everyone is sure that the news is true. The "Daily Prophet" urgently printed an extra in the afternoon, the content of which was Fudge's refutation of "certain irresponsible rumors".

But, as if someone were righting Fudge, even Hogwarts students began passing around dinnertime a little leaflet—an anonymous report with no title, the leaflet's In the middle is a photo. There is a lonely and gloomy island in the sea. The green dark mark rising above the island is extremely conspicuous.

Originally this semester, the conflicts between the colleges, which had been somewhat peaceful, began to become tense again after this incident came out.

This is also one of the bad side effects, right?But it is also the side effect that Drake can ignore the most.

As for another bad side effect that happened at school, the teaching content of Defense Against the Dark Arts suddenly changed.

"Today we are going to learn the Patronus Charm." Professor Cowboy sat on the podium, using his wand as a pointer, and patted his hand, "If it's just an ordinary 13-year-old wizard, then they learn this spell." It's obviously difficult, but it's not difficult for you guys—my Billy Spenson students."

"..." Crown subconsciously glanced at Draco. Although he didn't know why, this was not a difficult task, but it was very difficult for Draco Malfoy.

In this class, almost all the students did not respond to the tip of their wands, and Drake was not conspicuous among everyone.

When the get out of class was over, the students were discussing why Professor Cowboy changed the teaching content—even Gryffindor, who was naturally bad in politics, combined with the intensifying Azkaban prison breakout, could guess how much.

Whether it's the official report of the "Daily Prophet" or the widely circulated "Three No's" flyer, they all illustrate one point.When the Aurors arrived in Azkaban, the place was "empty", the prisoners escaped, but the guards disappeared...

In other words, only the group of dementors outside the school are still under the control of the Ministry of Magic, but who knows, whether the Ministry of Magic can still control them as it said?

"So last year it was an acromantula, this year it's a dementor? That's really exciting." Draco said to his companion when he heard a fifth-year Gryffindor pass by him .However, there was no excitement in his tone, only nervousness and helplessness, and a little discouraged.

It seems that after the Acromantus incident, the lion cubs are no longer so bold and fearless.However, this also shows that their trust in Hogwarts has declined, and they no longer believe that Hogwarts is a place where they can spend their youth wantonly—although originally as a school, it shouldn't be a place that allows them to spend their youth freely. A place where students "play wild".

As for the Patronus Charm, when Crown practiced in private, Crown still couldn't summon a physical Patronus. Even though the volume of light mist emerging from the tip of his staff was already large, the magic power drawn from him had already exceeded It exceeds the range of normal Patronus Charm consumption of mana.

Crown had speculated that it might be because his soul was incomplete?But if that's the case, it should be that from the very beginning, he didn't respond to the Patronus Charm at all.So Guan Guan simply started to study the Patronus Charm, and after a while, he really found the reason in a book.

A reason that made him a little bit unbelievable, but full of expectations...

"Oh, sorry!" Just after turning the corner, the crown collided with someone, "Principal Dumbledore?"

"Never mind, boy. You're Mr. Tom Malfoy Gaunt, aren't you?"

Could you leave out the middle name too?Crown was muttering depressingly in his heart—compared to his previous name of "Tom", it was already very pleasant—but he still kept a smile on his face: "Yes, Principal Dumbledore."

"Can I call you Tom?"

"Of course." Still smiling, even more enthusiastic than before.

"It's a surprise that I can meet a lovely student here." Dumbledore blinked at the crown, "After all, there are some abandoned classrooms here, and it's easy to get lost."

"The portraits on the wall are quite friendly, and it's the only place where I can practice spells without interference." If you want to know what I'm doing, just say it, Crown rolled his eyes at Dumbledore in his mind.

"You're a serious kid."

"It's not that serious." Guan Guan scratched his hair shyly, and he really blushed, "Actually, I just want to know what my patron saint is, after all, Teacher Spencer said that it will be the elder who guards us , or someone we love. Principal, what is your patron saint?"

"It's a phoenix."

"Phoenix?" Guan Dian looked like an ordinary 13-year-old child, with envious eyes, "In the words of those Muggle classmates, that's really 'cool'." Then he looked discouraged again, "But I It can only release a mass of silver and don't know what it is."

"You've only been learning that spell for a month, and that's a great achievement for you, Tom."

"Thank you for your compliment, Principal." Guan Guan smiled again, looking very happy, "Then, can you help me to see what I have deficiencies? Uh... sorry, I know you are very busy, I am a little over excited. "

"No, as an old man, I'd be happy to help a studious student."

"Great, Headmaster!" Crown was excited and jumping for joy.

So the next step was simple, he released his big cloud of silver mist.Dumbledore also asked him seriously when he cast the spell and how he felt after the spell was released, and gave him many suggestions.Dumbledore was serious indeed, and his advice was not just about the Patronus Charm, but about other charms as well.

When the last two parted outside the auditorium, it could almost be said that they had a happy conversation.

"Draco, what is your Animagus?" Drake was reading a book when the crown suddenly moved over.

"do not know."

"do not know?"

"I haven't tried." Draco shook his head, "Your patron saint has appeared?"

"No, no." Guan Dian curled her lips helplessly, "My patron saint is still stubbornly unwilling to let me see his true face. So, what is your father's Animagus?"

"do not know."

"..."

"I'm not perfunctory, but do you think a real nobleman would like to turn himself into an animal? You have to know that in the form of an Animagus, wizards are more or less influenced by animal nature, so... "

No matter how powerful and beautiful a beast is, it is still a beast, with no clothes on, and no cover for its private parts, and most of them are on all fours, urinating everywhere.None of these were acceptable to a nobleman, at least not to a Malfoy.

——So Draco has always been unable to understand that Sirius Black has been a dog for so many years, and even after leaving Azkaban, he always likes to be transformed into an Animagus form.It can only be said that Gryffindor's way of thinking cannot be understood by Slytherin...

Crown pouted, and had to admit that he had indeed asked the wrong question: "I see. Today I met with Dumbledore. In fact, I think Dumbledore should have come to me specially."

Draco was more than happy to have a conversation about the crown's rediscovery: "Testing if you're 'Tom'?"

"Probably so, without showing it, but I'm sure he was surprised I could use the Patronus Charm."

"So, he came at the right time. If you didn't learn the Patronus Charm, how can you be sure that you are not that 'Tom'?" Draco smiled, took the book and stood up, apparently going back to his room go.The crown is a bit of a loss, since Draco hasn't spoken much since the day Azkaban's escape was featured in the Daily Prophet.

But when Draco opened the doorknob, he turned to him suddenly and said, "Tom, you'd better keep your Patronus as a cloud of silver smoke."

"why?"

"Leave yourself a beautiful dream."

Crown wanted to ask again, but Draco had already opened the door and entered the room.

Drake had to admit that at this stage, the original Voldemort's Horcrux was indeed in love with him, after all he couldn't lie to him.And occasionally, Draco Malfoy still softens his heart a little bit.Although there are no books that say that Animagus will change according to a person's state of mind, Drake feels that his Animagus will definitely not be a beautiful creature.

So rather than letting that "Voldemort in love" - ​​just thinking about the word in his head, Draco gets a cold war, the coldest joke in truth - it's better to have too high, too good wishes.

Although the reaction was a little slow, Guan Guan still wanted to understand the meaning of Draco's words that day.

"Draco."

"Ok?"

"Although I'm really looking forward to it, but you know, Slytherin's favorite is poisonous snakes. So, if you are a toad, a leech, or even a horned snorkel, I can also hug you and kiss you. "

Guan Mian felt that what he said was very touching, but after hearing what he said, Draco Malfoy's expression was not at all touching. If he wanted to describe it, fury would be more appropriate~

"Tom Gaunt! How dare you compare me to a toad, a leech, and even...even a horned snorkel?!"
