[HP] Born Noble

This time, Harry didn't question Draco directly, he learned from a fall, he didn't want to use speculation and take things for granted to imagine Draco before he found out the facts, like the Buckbeak incident.So, Harry decided to check it out himself.No matter what the result is, he needs to give himself an explanation and give Draco an explanation.

Harry strictly ordered Dobby not to reveal today's matter. Of course Dobby would not say that the master's secrets should never be revealed, and it was wrong for him to go out. If he told his master to go out, he would be throwing himself into a trap. A few hundred whips so easy.

Harry seemed uninterested and a little absent-minded during the rest of the holiday, but the two 'Ravenclaws', Draco and Hermione, were too busy searching for rare herbs in Alwynn's habitat to have much time to spend. In the castle, the attention of the Weasleys was all attracted by the Firebolt, so Harry's slight abnormality was only noticed by Sirius, but when Harry said that starting from the new school year, he would work hard to learn how to cook Sirius was diverted from what little attention he had while the potion of Wolfsbane was being used to ease Remus' pain from the full moon in the future.

Harry told Sirius that his Defense Against the Dark Arts book was about how to spot a werewolf, and that Remus, no doubt, was away for several full moons, and more importantly, he went to find Remus once. While chatting, it happened that Dean Snape came in with a potion of wolfsbane—Harry didn't know how to make wolfsbane potion, didn't he?Such a difficult potion is not common!

In Harry's narration, Sirius, who experienced worry and apprehension, and finally turned into complete pride and pride, gave Harry a big kiss, and was completely relieved with joy.

So, Gryffindor can really be a little one-celled sometimes.

Then, after Christmas break, they went back to school.

Harry spent a lot of time in the library. He knew that the library had at least 100 years of the "Daily Prophet", although there were a lot of messy and inaccurate reports in it, and there were more distorted interpretations. (Those Harry Potter fact series reports), but it can't be denied that it has some valuable news.

There were signs of struggle in the room and her family members were missing. Dead Apostle attack, but has not yet received any statement that they are responsible for the attack.

Voldemort issued a statement of responsibility for the incident at the Burns house.Edgar Bones died instantly during the resistance.

Another misfortune of a pure-blooded family, we have to say that the Burns family is probably in danger, disobedience is death...] [September 1977, 9

Benji Fenwick's body was found in Hogsmeade in a horrific scene... At least six of the remains were collected... We can only identify him from the work pass in his coat pocket...] Harry can't Resisting the fear and sadness welling up in his heart, he just chose this stack from the many years of the last war, but after opening it, almost every day the front page was constantly announcing death and disappearance. It was the first time that I had the concept of war, and it was the first time I knew why so many people dare not call out the name Voldemort. This is a real, cruel, and written war written with human life. This is what really happened to my parents. The horrors of the era.

Harry hasn't found any information about Death Eaters yet, but too much bloodshed and killings have completely made him unable to continue reading. He hastily closed the newspaper, closed his eyes and calmed down for a long time, and then got up to pick another one. Stack, this time he picked the 1978 newspaper.

When I opened it, the first page I saw was a news photo. The photo seemed to be taken in a cemetery. Many people looked sad and wore thick black wizard robes. There was a report below.

[March 1978, 8

Statement: Caradoc Dearborn, officially pronounced dead.

In mid-January this year, Caradoc Dearborn was officially considered missing after he did not return home on time as expected and was completely missing for 48 hours.Family members and friends searched for him for six months without success. At [-] o'clock yesterday afternoon, the Dearborn family was forced to announce that Caradoc Dearborn, the second son of the Dearborn family, died of abnormal causes.There is no evidence at present...] Harry picked up a stack and flipped it over in a hurry, he didn't want to see too many terrible news, but the news has not changed since then, the front page seems to always gather death and gore, even There was that clear, ugly and frightening skull floating above several news pictures. Every time he saw this, Harry turned over in a hurry.

He kept flipping like this until he finally came across a catchy title about Death Eaters.

[The Tragedy of Godric's Hollow, the Desperate Struggle Between Two Order of the Phoenix and Five Death Eaters] The article describes in detail the heroic performance of the two Prewett brothers, Gideon and Fabian, in battle. Five Death Eaters who were equally strong, these two brothers were fearless, brave and fearless, they fought and retreated...and fought and retreated...until the last moment of their lives.

This article is not like a news report but like an elegy, tragic but inspiring to fight.Harry read it word by word until at the end, he saw Albus Dumbledore's signature.

[We use our courage and blood to tell Voldemort that righteous resistance will never end, and justice will eventually defeat evil. ] Harry touched the last line of words over and over again, as if he had gained a kind of courage, and then he began to calmly flip through the back of the newspaper, reading every report about darkness and death in detail.

It took Harry more than a month to completely flip through the newspapers of those war years. In the previous reports, some of them were complete guesses about the events, but some of them could always make people find some clues. For example, Harry Seen in a certain report, an eyewitness confirmed that one of the masked Death Eaters had platinum blonde hair.

There was also a report that there were eyewitnesses who saw Lucius Malfoy at the scene, but couldn't point to any signs of him doing anything.But with such an obvious evidence, Malfoy has still not been summoned by the court, although it should be a matter of course in terms of procedure.

In fact, there is hardly any doubt that Lucius Malfoy is a Death Eater, because even in such a sensitive environment, he still publicly preaches the glory of pure blood in the newspapers, and uses extremely contemptuous words. The description of those Muggle-born wizards has a very clear stand, which is almost exactly the same as Voldemort's public opinion in newspapers several times. It is probably not too much to say that he is Voldemort's spokesperson.

But after the war, after Harry checked the various trials after the end of the war in 1981, there was no trace of the prosecution of Malfoy at all. Lucius Malfoy only attended two hearings of different levels. , a hearing at the Ministry of Magic's Department of Law Enforcement's internal investigation, and a small hearing at the Wizengamot, and then... everything passed without a trace.

The Malfoys...

Harry understood now that he had been a guest at Malfoy Manor not long before, and had never heard Lucius and Narcissa speak ill of Muggles, and he thought they wouldn't—funny, it was just because they Even humiliation is dismissive, completely ignored.

After staying in Slytherin for so long and being friends with Slytherin students for so long, Harry certainly knew what kind of contempt they had for Muggle-born classmates. In fact, Draco Also, the only exception is that he can be kind to Hermione, which should be due to the fact that Hermione is as smart and knowledgeable as any pure-blood wizard, and Draco has never had a good look at other mediocre Muggle-born wizards. , even for those half-bloods with mediocre aptitudes, he almost never wants to get close to them.

'Slytherin always respects the strong', the first rule that has not been written into the Slytherin code of conduct goes deep into the hearts of every Slytherin. Harry knows it very well. Because of this first rule, Draco can talk to He Min made friends, so Slytherin's classmates have always been kind and respectful to him as a half-blood, so Voldemort was once highly respected.

Voldemort, the last descendant of Salazar Slytherin should, is, very powerful.

All of this, maybe when Dobby said the diary, there was nothing to question, but Harry never wanted to admit that his best friend had been using him.

[Malfoy, never give in to others. ]

Yes, Harry understood that all too well now.

So when Voldemort failed, they could focus on themselves without hesitation, so they would help themselves defeat him, and this time, while they insisted on those unreasonable discrimination and blood lineage arguments, Malfoy also They also gain interests, respect, and become more influential and have the right to speak, because they have won a brighter and more positive reputation and image than before.

Harry felt as if he had swallowed a huge block of ice, which made him shiver from the inside out.

"Hi, Harry!"

Harry was patted heavily on the shoulder, he turned his head, it was Hermione, and subconsciously closed the newspaper clipping.

Hermione didn't pay attention to the clippings at all. It was obvious that the little witch was in a state of extreme excitement right now. She jumped over with her big schoolbag in her arms, a little panting, her face still flushed, "Hagrid finally came back from London, I'm going to have herbal medicine class The time just happened to meet him!" The little witch had a mysterious look on her face.

Even Harry, who was originally depressed, had to hold his breath and widen his eyes at this moment.

"We won the case! Buckbeak is fine!" Hermione screamed the result excitedly, which made Harry burst into a big smile, but also drew a stare from Mrs. Pince.

Hermione spoke quickly about the thanks she received from Hagrid and described the process of appearing in court for the past few days, and Harry was really happy to hear this. On such a day, he could hear some good news It made Harry feel a lot better.But Hermione didn't have time to stay longer, she also took all the courses like Draco, so the time was very tight, she finished the good news like a machine gun, and the Ravenclaw little witch hurried to the next class with her schoolbag on her back .

Harry watched Hermione briskly leave the library, the smile on his mouth hadn't let go, and suddenly saw Astoria over there, the blond Medusa was staring at the girl who jumped away with a kind of resentment. Hermione's back, which made Harry's heart tighten. He has always had a good relationship with Daphne Greengrass, but he doesn't like her sister Astoria, but he just thinks this girl is annoying and annoying. , But I have never seen a little girl put on such a terrible look of hatred.

Harry thought it was strange at first, he assured Hermione didn't even know Medusa, but then he figured it out, if Buckbeak was sentenced to nothing, then it seems that Medusa's family is trying to please the Malfoy family. The plan fell through!

Pure blood wizards, nobles, status, honor, favor, face...

Harry thought of Draco again, he didn't believe Draco was that kind of guy, but—

Looking at the copied newspaper clippings in his hand, he was very scared, getting more and more scared...

But the facts will not change the original appearance because of Harry's fear. One and a half months after the start of the new semester after Christmas, Harry has already finished all the parts of the last ten years of war.

Then, he already knew.

Then, Harry returned to the dormitory with the copied newspaper clippings in order.

Draco was in their study room, and lately he was always in the study room.

"If you have nothing to worry about." Draco didn't raise his head, the image of the old nobleman was almost completely destroyed, the smooth platinum hair was scratched in a mess, the neat neckline was ripped open, and even the pins were crooked Hanging sideways, the table is covered with scattered parchment, and books of various colors that are almost half-height.

Harry stood there watching him quietly, thinking of many things in the past, thinking of Draco pushing himself out to Gryffindor time and time again, but he was so happy when he actually got to Slytherin.Since they were nine years old, they have been friends for five years. They have faced such difficulties and dangers...

They fought side by side...

Draco looked up, big dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot blue-gray eyes.He's been really busy lately, even though he dropped a course, he's busier now than last semester, and through the incredible purification of unicorn tears, Draco has figured out a safe and stable way to purify magic power ——About the practical part, it is completely easy for him to use it on himself, but if you want to change the magic power purification from an "accidental event" into a constant and reliable method, you must need a systematic and well-founded theoretical support, otherwise you can only As a "hypothetical" existence, the practical value will be greatly reduced. If you want to get the academic medal of the Order of Merlin, you can't rely on an immature academic hypothesis!

Therefore, Draco is currently busy writing an academic analysis paper that concerns him and the Malfoy family's great honor.

Therefore, he didn't spend even a minute on trivial matters.

But since Harry stood there silently for so long, Draco looked up and saw Harry's unusual expression.

"Is something wrong?"

"Yes." Harry said calmly.

"Important thing?" Draco sniffed out something unusual in the air, and asked in an affirmative tone.

"Yes." Harry nodded and walked in.

Harry paused for a while, as if he was preparing a speech, but also seemed to be calming down, and then he said, "Draco, before what happened in the Chamber of Secrets, you—have never heard of Tom Riddle's diary Ben?"

Draco frowned, leaning back in his chair at the same time, "What do you mean?"

Harry put a thick volume of newspaper clippings on the table. The fragmented clues selected from several years of daily newspapers seemed scattered, but once they were all put together, many things could be understood at a glance.Even including the Malfoy family's position in the last war.Draco opened it, and after flipping through a few pages, he understood the meaning of it.What happened in the past can pass without a trace if it is not deliberately covered up, just like Voldemort, no matter how hard he keeps his name from being mentioned, the truth will come out one day.

Draco knew that sooner or later Harry would know about the notorious past of the Malfoy family. He never mentioned it but never really concealed it. Of course, some things cannot be said directly. After all, many crimes are enough to be imprisoned in Azka. class for a lifetime.Draco thought that he had never refused Harry's inquiries and requests for help, let alone concealed or hesitated, so now that Harry is looking up some old things in private instead of asking himself directly, and finally took these Evidence that cannot be called evidence, with a pose that is almost questioning... He couldn't help being angry, but also more confused.

"These... are all old things."

"But it really happened, didn't it?"

Draco's eyes became more of a livid gray, "Harry, we believe in the verdict of the law, if [guilty] in court, then guilty, if [not guilty] in court, then no matter what happened What kind of injury incident, we call it [innocence], I thought you should know, after all, the charge of [intentional injury] against Buckbeak has been identified as [instinctive defense]."

Harry couldn't refute this, Draco closed the thick stack of newspaper clippings, "Anything else?"

"Draco, you really didn't know about the secret room attack in the second grade?"

Draco trembled in his heart, he didn't understand what Harry meant by saying such words, "Please explain more clearly."

"I somehow learned over the Christmas break that Tom Riddle's old diary had once belonged to someone we both knew well—your father, Draco. Then I remembered the man who had made Mal Fu Manor has been immersed in a week-long fight scandal. It's really funny, how could Uncle Lucius be such a calm person, fighting with people in the street, and arguing about a little girl in the first grade... Then, we We all know that there is an old diary of unknown origin in Ginny's bag."

Draco's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes had turned a cold dark gray, "Go on."

"The Chamber of Secrets attack incident, you told me the origin of the Chamber of Secrets, you let me know that Voldemort is the descendant of Slytherin, you told me about his relationship with the Chamber of Secrets, and you reminded me that the Chamber of Secrets is on the girls' bathroom on the second floor, It was you, every time, who told me it was Ginny Weasley who set off the alarm. You knew I could speak Parseltongue, and you told me not to tell anyone, and," Harry's eyes began to mist, bright emerald green It became a bit heavy, "You clearly know that Voldemort is dead long ago, the two of us worked together to kill him, we were once in danger, and survived such a difficult and dangerous process, you clearly know, then why Will you be so certain to suspect that the Chamber of Secrets incident has something to do with Voldemort from the very beginning?"

"Anymore?"

"And!" Harry replied loudly, "One last point, Draco, tell me, if we don't destroy that diary in time, will Ginny really die?"

Draco's blue-gray eyes flickered for a moment before he answered in the affirmative, "Yes!"

That should be a kind of black magic similar to life exchange, he thinks it will be!

Harry felt that his vision was already blurred, even though his eyes were wide open, Harry's lips were trembling, and finally, he suppressed the trembling and asked the last sentence, "The matter of the Chamber of Secrets, in the end we became the uncrowned king of Slytherin, and we became the uncrowned king of Slytherin." We have become the heroes of the public, and have been appreciated and appreciated by more people. We have become the successors and positive images of Slytherin, and Voldemort's shadow bears all the scapegoat and infamy... He is just a scapegoat, isn't he? ?”

This time, Draco said nothing.

Keeping a dark magic object for the Dark Lord, throwing it away when it is out of date, and framing his rival by the way, even if Draco didn't know the whole story of the diary, now he can fully understand his father's motives and actions.

Harry's deduction was well-founded, but his conclusion was wrong, but what could he say?

What else did he have to say?

"Draco," Harry's voice was obviously choked and imperceptible, "Draco,...won't you explain?"

"No." Draco's voice cooled completely, his blue-gray eyes turned a deep dark gray, and Malfoy never explained.

Harry looked at Draco, Draco had no expression at all, he thought he knew him well enough to see through Draco's emotions every time he concealed it, but this time, from the calmness and coldness in the blue-gray eyes, what nor.

"...I...I think I understand." Harry wiped the mist from his eyes and straightened his back, "But I also want to thank you, Draco, for everything you have done for me, I will Stay in Slytherin and continue to fight for the efforts my parents have made. I will try my best to use my influence to correct them and transform them. I will never let them become the little Death Eaters of the future, no matter—the future devil --who is it."

Draco sat upright in his seat, his blue-gray eyes didn't flicker, he just raised his chin in the face of Harry's declaration, and said nothing.

Harry walked out of the study room calmly, insisted on going back to his bedroom, then staggered and fell to the ground, crying bitterly.

I don't know how long it took, Draco felt his left arm start to become numb and sore, and only then did he notice his clenched fist under the table. Draco slowly opened his frozen hand and looked at the blood on it. I can't get back to God for a long time.When his consciousness told him that he had to stop the bleeding as soon as possible, he found it difficult. His right hand was shaking inexplicably, and it was shaking so badly that he lost all strength and couldn't grasp the wand.

It didn't matter, Draco told himself over and over, really, it didn't matter at all.

Perhaps from the beginning of the millennium, Slytherin and Gryffindor were destined not to be long-term friends.He knew it would be like this, he was delusional.In fact, from the time he was rejected in the previous life, he should have understood that they were destined to be two types of people... they couldn't be forced.

Speaking of which, the rejection in the previous life was much uglier than this time, he...

He is used to it.
