May the world be kind to you

"As long as you are by my side, even if the whole world abandons me, I will no longer have any fear." -Harry Potter

※※※※※※※※※※※

There are two pairs of guests with different looks sitting in the private seat of the coffee shop.

The expressions on the girls' faces were the same.

"He dared to tell me that Potter's blind date with a girl has nothing to do with him!!" The black-haired girl was full of anger: "Damn it doesn't matter! If Potter really succeeds in the blind date, he must be the first one to give the other party Avada! !"

"They don't lack the intimacy that only couples can have," the brown-haired girl said angrily, "They even told me they were just ordinary friends! They found a pair of such sweet ordinary friends to see!!"

The expressions of their respective male companions were also very consistent in surprise.

"Merlin's pants! Hermione, when did you get involved with them?!"

"How did you and Granger get together? Why don't I know?!"

The girls turned their heads and glared at their fiancés at the same time: "It's not important!!"

"The important thing is that we must find a way to break the current situation." Hermione looked at Pansy calmly: "I can no longer bear to see them doing things as lovers in the name of friends, it is an insult to my IQ !"

"I can't bear Draco's inconsistency any longer, even though he obviously cares a lot!!" Pansy said with a determined face, "So, how about letting them announce it publicly?"

"Open?" Hermione raised her eyebrows, then nodded: "Alright. It's time for them to give everyone an explanation."

Ron and Bryce looked at each other at the same time, silently praying for their friends in their hearts.

It's not that they don't want to help their friends, but that they really can't help in this matter.After all, offending a brother and offending a girlfriend are two completely different things.

Especially when they deeply realize the consequences of offending their girlfriends.

※※※※※※※※※※※

Bryce sat moaning in the living room of Malfoy Manor.

He couldn't believe it at all, according to his girlfriend's shrewd Granger's cleverness, they actually came up with such a method that anyone could tell it was a scam at a glance!

Just because Draco mentioned Potter a little bit, he tended to ignore everything around him, but it didn't mean that he was really a fool. It was no wonder he would jump into such an obvious trap.But they said that because he is not stupid, the more flawless the design, the more suspicious he will be. On the contrary, this kind of arrangement full of loopholes will make him feel real and believe in it.

"If you have any questions, please go to your fiancée." Draco looked at his friend with a sad face, "I'm not responsible for helping you solve any problems."

"Parkinson forced Pansy and me to break off the engagement," Bryce complained angrily, despite being skeptical of his girlfriend's plan, playing the image of a frustrated person: "What's the time? It will happen that the marriage of the children will be sacrificed for the so-called family interests!"

Draco finally became curious.

"If you don't even look up to him, he must have a lot of background, and Parkinson can choose him over you. Looking at the whole of Britain, I really can't think of anyone else who can have such power."

"Who else," Bryce suddenly became depressed, "except our famous savior?!"

"..."

Bryce pretended not to see Draco's complicated expression: "If Parkinson only cares about family background, I think I can still compare with Potter; but people value Potter's reputation more, what do I get for that?" To compare with him?"

"Doesn't Pansy have any opinion on this?!" Draco looked even angrier than Bryce.

Didn't he really believe it? !

"In the face of family interests, her opinion is irrelevant. You should be very clear about this." Bryce couldn't help admiring his girlfriend's strategy, so he continued his lines with an even more sad expression: "Tonight she was forced to Asking to have dinner with Potter, no matter how reluctant, I can only... where are you going??"

Bryce stared at his friend who suddenly got up and left the living room without waiting for him to finish speaking.Did he suddenly see through the deception and go get his wand to give himself an Avada?

Draco's back had already stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor, and a calm reply came from a commanding height: "Change clothes."

"..."

The Malfoy family even has special costumes and matching etiquette for casting a curse? !

※※※※※※※※※※※

Elegant environment, delicate flowers, soft lighting, exquisite meals, mellow wine, handsome men and women in costumes.

It seems like this should be an enviable romantic date, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Harry looked awkwardly at the dark-haired girl sitting across from him.

He didn't expect his friend to object to his plan to decline those invitation cards.

"Rejecting all is easy to offend all pure-bloods." Hermione calmly gave a suggestion: "You can choose to accept invitations from one or two people you know well, so that you will have good reasons for rejecting others." Speaking, he took out an invitation card that Harry had never seen before: "For example, Parkinson's, after all, you are classmates in the same grade."

Then he sat here inexplicably.

He really didn't understand how he became "acquainted" with Parkinson, since his knowledge of this girl was still only on the Hogwarts Express!

Seeing the black-haired girl's undisguised curiosity resting on his face, Harry felt even more embarrassed. He subconsciously looked towards the front left seat, but he didn't expect to come with him and promised to be lucky if he couldn't handle it. The friends who came out to help didn't even show their faces.

Harry had to suspect that his friend was actually here to see his joke.

However, no matter how much he doesn't like not being good at socializing, he also understands that it is quite rude to ask a lady to find a topic in the cold, so what should he say so that he can find a common topic that can be happily chatted?After much deliberation, it seems that there is only one thing left to talk about——

"I met Miss Parkinson on the Hogwarts Express," Harry said with a gentle smile, "Remember when you were Draco's girlfriend?"

Pansy squirted red wine out of her mouth without a ladylike image.

From Potter's expression, she knew that he was struggling with how to talk to her. After all, the only positive encounter between them was her public identification of him on the night of the war.But she deliberately didn't speak first, because she was curious about what expressions and words Potter would make when facing someone who once wanted to kill him.

She wasn't afraid of Potter embarrassing her.When she made this plan, she was already mentally prepared. Before meeting tonight, she even considered the way and wording of the apology, but she didn't expect that Potter would not only keep silent about her past mistakes, but even be able to apologize to her. Looking at himself with a gentle smile, the clouds are so light and breezy, as if those things in the past have never happened.

It would be a lie to say that you are not moved.

This man is really kind.

However, this kind person threw out such a terrifying sentence to take revenge on her when she was unprepared! !

Pansy wiped the wine stains from her mouth indiscriminately, and then pulled out a menacing smile: "Who told you that Draco and I were boyfriend and girlfriend?!!" She wanted to find that person out and get rid of him!

Merlin!If Potter misunderstood Draco because of this and Draco happened to know the reason, he didn't know how he died! !

Harry was puzzled by her reaction.She seemed afraid that she would know about their relationship?Why?Being boyfriend and girlfriend with Draco is not something shameful.

"...Nobody told me, I read...uh, I heard about it."

It is best not to even have "heard"!When someone is unreasonable, he doesn't care whether you "heard" or "listened to what you said", he will definitely put all the responsibility on himself.

"Listen, Harry...can I call you Harry?" Seeing him nodding, she continued cautiously and cautiously: "Draco and I have never been boyfriend and girlfriend. Not before, not now, and more in the future Impossible! Do you hear me clearly?"

However, he clearly saw Draco lying on her lap.Shouldn't this action be done only by very intimate couples?Or is this some kind of Slytherin's unique etiquette?

Pansy saw his hesitation, and expressed his attitude very simply: "Bryce Zabini is my fiance, you should have met him."

Harry suddenly realized.No wonder she didn't want people to know about her relationship with Draco, because she was worried that her fiancé might misunderstand.He smiled understandingly and sincerely expressed his best wishes to her:

"Really? Then I wish you happiness."

"Thank you." Seeing that he no longer mentioned Draco, Pansy was finally able to let go of his heart, and replied with a relaxed expression and said with a smile: "Actually, Draco and I are just good friends, just like you and..." Like Ranger.

"Just like me and Draco." Harry cut off the sentence with a smile: "I understand."

"..."

Suddenly, there was an unexplained choking cough clearly from the front left seat, and Pansy just wanted to scream.

Who is like you? ! !

After talking for a long time, I went back and forth, and I couldn't talk any more today! !

"Harry, are you against me on purpose? Draco he..."

He stopped suddenly in the middle of the sentence, and the frantic expression on Pansy's face changed into a gentle, sweet and shy expression within a second, and at the same time, his hands quickly covered Harry's hand on the table.

The sudden change made Harry startled, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand. Pansy quickly pressed it tightly, and squeezed out two words from between his teeth with a sweet smile: "Don't move!"

Harry froze his hands and dared not move again: "Miss Parkinson, you..."

"Harry, we're so close," Pansy's voice became sweet, and Harry blinked uncomfortably: "Why do you still call me by my last name? You can..."

"The eldest lady of the Parkinson family really dares to say anything!"

Accompanied by the drawn-out sarcasm, a pale blond figure appeared beside them, squeezed Pansy's hand and threw it away, then took Harry's hand under the table, and sat down next to Harry, naturally As if he was the protagonist of the dinner.

"Is Master Malfoy wandering around because he's bored? Why can't I meet you everywhere?" He said the nice words had nothing to do with him, and it turned out that he rushed over in a hurry.Pan Xi sneered in her heart, but she had a sullen expression on her face: "It's nothing, please leave first, don't hinder our date!"

Draco narrowed his eyes slowly: "It seems inappropriate to say these words from you who have been engaged for a long time."

"It's just 'engagement'." Pansy shrugged: "Besides, Harry is much better than Bryce, and now I completely agree with father's arrangement."

"..."

Harry, who focused most of his attention on Draco, who looked even more handsome because of his formal attire, opened his eyes wide in astonishment when he heard the last sentence clearly.

The purpose of today's dinner is so simple!

He looked forward to the left again, but the people in the lounge couldn't even see a hair.

"It's not something you can just say." Draco snorted coldly, holding Harry with his hand under the table in a comforting way: "Potter, are you willing to develop a marriage contract with Parkinson? "

"..."

Harry wanted to punch him so badly!

Has he asked such a question? !Can I really shake my head in front of Parkinson and refuse to embarrass her? ! !

"Don't know how to answer?" Draco seemed to understand Harry's embarrassment, and nodded in understanding: "Then let me ask another question."

After the words, his face suddenly changed, and his expression became extremely serious in an instant. His eyes were unusually focused into his green eyes, and his tone was so solemn that he seemed to be swearing:

"Potter, you have seen the worst side of me when I was a student. Cowardly, arrogant, arrogant, and domineering, you have seen me who is so real that I have almost no advantages. So, now all I can rely on is I have never wavered in my heart for you for seven years, and I promise to hold hands with you every day in the future. So, Potter, do you want to be with me?"

The whole restaurant seemed to go quiet.

Harry couldn't ask any kind of 'are you kidding me' doubts about such earnest words.He stared fixedly at the deep gray eyes in front of him, and finally smiled slowly after a long time, and replied clearly and firmly: "Okay."

Draco nodded calmly as if he had expected Harry to answer like this, his expression so calm that he couldn't see the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Only Harry knew how hard it was to hold his hand.He shook it back, and silently gave an affirmative answer again, in exchange for a stronger force that almost crushed the bones of his hand.

"You, Draco, are the only one who can make a confession like a marriage proposal."

Pansy leaned back in her chair dejectedly, curling her lips boredly.This guy actually didn't follow the routine at all, and went straight to the point when he came, making it impossible for her carefully prepared drama to continue.

"To each other." Draco snorted lightly mockingly: "It's rare to be able to meddle in a friend's private affairs as much as you do." He pulled Harry to stand up as he spoke, and glanced to the front left intentionally or unintentionally. The seat: "Have you all heard clearly? Then we won't bother you to enjoy dinner."

Does he know?

Pansy narrowed his eyes dangerously, and quickly threw a Leg Lock Charm to stop him from apparating.

No wonder their plan went so well!Pansy quickly reviewed every detail of the previous communication with him, and many doubts that were strange or ignored at the time were all explained.

This guy did it on purpose from the beginning! !Deliberately making a timid and timid appearance in front of her, misleading himself with specious words and actions, and let their impatient friends work hard to help him create an excellent time to confess to his sweetheart in a fair and honest way! !

Since Draco dared to plot against her, he must have the courage to bear the consequences! !Want to leave and go on a sweet date after confessing?How can there be such a cheap thing! !

Draco didn't have the slightest defense against the sudden spell, if it wasn't for a pair of strong arms that quickly hugged him, he might have fallen to the ground in embarrassment.

Harry helped him to sit on the dining chair, and when he looked at Pansy again, his eyes became serious:

"Miss Parkinson, it was very dangerous just now. If you were a little slower, Draco would be separated. Have you thought about the consequences?"

Yo, have you started guarding so soon?

"I'm sorry, Harry," Pansy smiled sincerely, "I was just too eager to keep you." Then he added a silencing spell, completely preventing Draco from casting any spells. Possibility of the mantra: "Can you forgive me?"

Harry kind of wanted to laugh.These little actions somehow reminded him of the Weasley twins, but he couldn't really laugh in front of Draco, so he could only nod pretending to be solemn.

"Thank you, Harry." Pansy was obviously happy and satisfied, and he gestured for the people who were hiding on the sidelines to come over: "For this, shouldn't we celebrate?"

"..."

Celebrating that he and Draco weren't separated?

※※※※※※※※※※※

"Miss Granger, Kreacher finally saw you!" The bullfrog-like voice became even deeper and hoarse because of excitement, the gray eyes were full of tears, and the thin body bent deeply towards Hermione, piously His nose could almost touch the floor: "Kreacher has always remembered what Master Harry said, and I have to thank Miss Granger. And Mr. Weasley," and turned to Ron to salute: "Master Harry's friend Kreacher will also Be nice to them..."

Kreacher's unexpected gratitude and friendliness stunned Ron, who didn't understand the situation at all, and Hermione was even more flustered: "No need to thank Kreacher, I... I'm glad to see you too... You get up first, no need Salute us..."

She hesitantly stretched out her hand to help the bowing elf, and when she was about to touch him, she hesitated to withdraw it. After repeating this several times, she finally gritted her teeth and lightly lifted his shoulder. Kreacher actually obeyed her strength and stood without the slightest resistance. Straighten your body.

It's so rare to see a friend who has always been calm and calm in this moment of shock.Harry smiled lightly and welcomed the guests into the room, but Kreacher didn't need his instructions at all, and after taking the initiative to bring fruit and snacks, he stepped aside and was ready to serve the two young masters and their friends at any time.

"Harry," Hermione whispered next to her friend's ear, "Why did Kreacher suddenly change his attitude towards us?"

She still remembered the elf's rejection and disgust towards her when she saw Kreacher for the last time, but today... she subconsciously looked at the elf, and as soon as Kreacher noticed her gaze, he came over and asked her earnestly what she needed, and asked her again It was a surprise.

"I gave Kreacher the care of Regulus' room, and asked him to move to the attic."

Harry's simple explanation was immediately appreciated by Hermione.

"You're right, Harry, the attic is far better than the burrow. Glad you managed to be nice to him."

Hearing this, Pansy couldn't help being confused and curious: "House-elves are meant to serve their masters, why should their masters be kind to them?"

"Enough!" An impatient growl stopped Hermione's eloquence just in time.The blond youth's face was flushed, and his brows were tightly knit together.The discomfort of excessive drinking made his expression extremely unfriendly, which clearly foreshadowed the precursor of anger: "The door is also in, and you have eaten something, why don't you go away?! I don't want to hear you discuss how to treat house elves, and this is not the case here. A library for you to research and find information!"

Such a merciless expulsion order made Ron's expression change, and Hermione grabbed him in time and shook his head.

Malfoy was clearly targeting Parkinson.Parkinson and Zabini's endless drinking at dinner was something she couldn't stand, and even if it was a joke between friends, it should be enough, they did go too far.It was not easy for Malfoy to bear it for Harry's sake until now.

Pansy obviously saw through this too, and raised his eyebrows provocatively as if he was determined to pluck the hair on the tiger's mouth: "We've only been sitting for a few minutes! I don't remember the Malfoy family having such rude hospitality."

Although he said he wanted to avenge Draco for plotting against him, he was still a little frightened when he really did Pansy. After all, Draco was never the kind of soft-spoken person who could just admit a few mistakes and beg for forgiveness. "people.

But now it seems she doesn't have to worry.As long as Harry is around, I believe Draco will not do anything to himself.Since there is an opportunity to tease the proud platinum prince without worrying about being retaliated, wouldn't it be a pity not to make good use of it!

"I didn't know that the Parkinson's family still had the etiquette of forcing the master to invite her to be a 'guest'!" Draco snorted contemptuously.Forced to eat a dinner called celebration, but to drink him, don't expect him to be kind to the chrysalis: "What's more, which eye of yours sees that this is Malfoy Manor?!"

"In that case," Pansy said with a smug smile, "it's up to the master to decide whether we stay or not." She didn't believe that Harry had the nerve to drive people away!

"Just say something, buddy," Ron provocatively dragged his friend in, and Hermione had no time to stop him: "Shall we go or stay?"

His friend agreed to the golden weasel's confession so easily and quickly, and he was very depressed to quickly confirm the relationship between lovers.He really didn't understand why his friend had taken a fancy to that useless weasel!For the sake of his friends, it is inconvenient for him to justifiably be an enemy of the weasel as in the past, but he will never let go of the opportunity to fight against him and make him embarrass him in front of his friends!

Hermione rolled her eyes wordlessly.Had he forgotten that this was Sirius' house? !

"What capacity do you think I'm talking about?" The mockery in Draco's eyes deepened: "Kreacher!"

"This is Black's ancestral house." Kreacher immediately obeyed the order without a moment's pause: "Mrs. Narcissa is from the Black family, so Master Draco is also half the owner of this place."

"..."

Pansy was annoyed by the unexpected answer.

How could she know that Harry's family could still have something to do with Draco!The words are too full to be taken back, but it is really not reconciled to let her leave like this.Turning her eyes, she loudly ordered Kreacher to serve the red wine, filled the glass with a full [-]% and handed it to Draco: "I'll leave immediately after drinking this glass!"

Even Ron couldn't stand it now: "Merlin's socks, are you planning to let him die here drunk?"

Harry was even less embarrassed, and changed his address to Pansy by his surname again: "The joke is too much for Miss Parkinson, so let's accept it as soon as it's good. If you insist on this, I can only... "

Before he finished speaking, Draco snatched the wine glass, poured it into his mouth three or two gulps, and then put down the empty glass with a "bang", his red eyes were almost fiercely fixed on the cunning black hair Girl: "Go away!"

"... Seeing that you are so eager to drive us away, you must have arranged some other program." Pansy seemed determined to fight against Draco to the end, and blatantly challenged his tolerance limit: "I'm I won't be so stupid as to leave now! I want to..."

Halfway through the conversation, the voice suddenly disappeared.

Bryce said goodbye to Harry calmly while trying his best to hold his fiancée who was constantly protesting and struggling.

He really didn't want to be labeled a "widower" before he was married.

Not at all! !
