…Is it right? 】
[Exactly. ] Ron admitted with difficulty, 【They also said that you stole a precious thing from Hogwarts. 】
Sirius suddenly burst out laughing: [Me?Wasn't it you who stole the precious thing, child? 】He was amused by Ron's astonished expression, and pointed to the necklace around his neck: 【You stole the most precious space-time necklace of the Black family. 】
[This necklace?Wait—] Ron hurriedly tried to untie the necklace, but failed.
[Don't waste your energy. 】Sirius said lightly, 【This necklace belongs to the Black family, but it only recognizes one owner for a period of time—either a member of the Black family, or a person who was sincerely gifted by a member of the Black family.Wait,] He frowned and approached the necklace emitting a faint white light, 【Where did you get it?It doesn't look complete. 】
[...Draco Malfoy gave it to me. ] Ron finally told the man the truth.Sirius looked up at him in mild surprise.He re-examined the necklace and said to himself: [Yes, it is possible that Bella stole this necklace and gave it to Voldemort. After Voldemort disappeared, he entrusted it to Malfoy for safekeeping... The necklace should be made by two Composed of a ring and an hourglass to control time and space, your power here is incomplete, only time is left...]
[There is another ring at Draco Malfoy's. 】Ron replied,【During this time, the hourglass has been changing, do you know why?It's almost all flowing to the other half already. 】
【I am not sure.I don't know much about dark magic items in the family. 】Sirius pursed his lips tightly, as if he didn't like this topic, 【I left the Black family when I was 16, and they removed me long ago. 】
Ron looked at the tapestry, where the place belonging to Sirius was burned black.Next to Narcissa Black is written Lucius Malfoy, and below that is Draco's name. [It turns out that he has the blood of the Black family. 】Ron said, 【But, such a precious thing was given to me, why didn't the Malfoy family find out? 】
【You weren't found at school either, were you?No one could see it, not even Dumbledore, except the Blacks and the owner of the necklace.After Voldemort was destroyed, Dumbledore worried that he would use the necklace to make a comeback - he used its magic power to enhance his strength and attract more followers - so he asked the Malfoy family to hand over the necklace as a way to clear the charge conditions of.The necklace has remained in Dumbledore's hands ever since, although, of course, it has now apparently been recaptured by the Malfoys.They put the charge of stealing on me, not only to exonerate themselves, but also to pull me back to Voldemort's side completely. 】
[They figured that if no one on the right side believed me, I'd go back to being Black and a Death Eater, like I should have been. 】
[But Professor Lupine still believes in you, and I... I also believe in you. 】Ron hesitated and said, 【Why don't you meet with Professor Lupine? 】
[I haven't found a chance yet. 】
[Just tomorrow night, how about it? 】Ron took a deep breath and said, 【I'll bring Professor Lupine...and Harry here tomorrow night, okay?You can tell them everything, if it is true that Voldemort wants Harry to participate in the competition as you say, then he must have other plans, and you and the professor can protect Harry. 】
Sirius moved his hand away from his eyes, and Ron noticed that his dark gray pupils were shining: [Can you? ] He whispered that 12 years in prison seemed to have accustomed him to dialogues with himself, [Can I see them?Tomorrow night? 】
【Okay, tomorrow night. ] Ron said firmly, [But I have to warn you, it's not easy to convince Harry of this.I can only bring him without telling him, but I can't guarantee that he won't show you his wand. 】
Sirius closed his eyes for a moment, 【It doesn't matter, as long as you can bring him. ] He stood up, shaking the dust off his body, 【It's getting late, I have to go.Be careful with your necklace, stop trying to remove it, hide it under your shirt. 】
They walk out of the wall and Sirius turns into a black dog. [Let's go. 】Ron said, 【jump out the window of the left staircase on the fourth floor, there is no one there now. 】The black dog returned Scabbers to him, 【I will act as if nothing happened, and Pettigrew will not find out. 】Ron said,【Of course this is based on the fact that you are telling the truth. 】
The black dog nodded slowly, jumped down the stairs nimbly, and disappeared into the moonlight.
Ron turned to face the wall, put his head against the wall like Sirius, and concentrated on imagining a room: there would be three warm, comfortable armchairs, and black tea on the table, so that Harry could speak calmly. The mentality is listening to Sirius; there are photos of Harry's parents hanging on the wall...
Ron, who was absorbed in his imagination, didn't notice that the ring on the necklace emitted an unprecedented warm white light.
☆、Chapter53 first project
On the second night, Ron took Harry to the door of the Response Room on the eighth floor on the grounds that Professor Lupine wanted to see Harry.
[Did Professor Lupine say something? 】Harry hadn't had time to take off the invisibility cloak, his body was half hidden and half exposed in the air, with obvious confusion on his face, 【And, when is there an extra door here? 】
Ron glanced at the now closed door, believing that Sirius and Lupine were already waiting for Harry inside.He took a deep breath and held Harry's shoulder: [Harry, you may not be able to accept what happened next, but please trust me and Professor Lupine, we will not deceive you. 】
[Of course you will not deceive me.But what is going on? 】
[Can you go in by yourself?They want to talk to you alone. ] Ron pushed open the door.
[Who are "they"... Wait, Ron! 】
Ron pushed Harry into the Room of Requirement and quickly closed the door, watching it disappear bit by bit until it returned to the wall.During this process, he also faintly heard Harry's roar coming from the room. 【Hope I did the right thing. ] He thought, and walked down the stairs lightly.After returning to the dormitory, he couldn't fall asleep. He just closed his eyes and let his head become a mess.Would Harry trust the Professor and Sirius?Will he be more afraid of the game the day after tomorrow?
Scabbers was sleeping in its den, Peter Pettigrew hadn't come back these two days, but Ron didn't dare to put the mouse in the bed to sleep anymore.It wasn't until dawn that Ron heard movement from Harry's bedside, and then Harry's body gradually emerged from under the cloak. He turned his head to look at Ron, and nodded to him wearily.
Relieved, Ron managed to fall asleep for a while before class.
[They say that Peter Pettigrew is likely to tamper with tomorrow's game. 】At the breakfast table, Harry whispered to Ron,【It seems that the divination is very accurate, the betrayal of those close to him turned out to be him. 】
【What should we do? 】
【have no idea. 】Harry shrugged, Ron knew he was uncomfortable, 【I must pretend to be ignorant and continue to participate in the competition in order to understand Voldemort's ultimate intention.Professor Lupine will contact Dumbledore and they will do their best to keep me safe. 】
After Ron finished his breakfast, he went to class with Hermione, while Harry was called away by Collevey. The "Daily Prophet" will conduct a pre-match interview with the four warriors before the official game, and both Ron and Hermione expressed sympathy for Harry.
[I have already said that your mouse has a problem. ] Hermione said, 【During the summer vacation, Crookshanks always caught him, remember?It must have smelled something, which might be a good way to identify the dwarf. 】
【Oh forget it, I still don't like your cat. 】Ron said unhappily,【The question now is how do I get rid of him?I don't want to have nightmares every night. 】
[I will think of a way. ] Hermione said that at this moment she saw Krum standing on the top step of the stairs signing autographs for the girls, [Merlin,] she covered her face with a book, [Shall we go that way? 】
【Why are you so afraid of him? ] Ron casually moved to the right of the stairs.
【I'm not afraid of him!It's just that he wants to ask me to dance at the Yule Ball, and I don't want to say yes. 】 Hermione said through gritted teeth.
[What's wrong with this?Dancing with Krum will make you the center of attention. 】
[Ron!You don't understand anything at all...] Hermione suddenly fell silent in the middle of her words.Ron looked at her suspiciously as she stared intently at the Ravenclaw boy heading down the stairs.
[Good morning, Rolf. ] Ron greeted the boy. [Good morning, Ron, Hermione. 】The boy was holding a large book in his arms, and on the cover was written "Study on the Origin of Spells" in large characters. [It's such a coincidence that you're watching too...] Before Ron could finish speaking, Hermione bumped his arm hard.
【Where are you going? ] Rolf didn't seem to pay attention to Hermione's little movements, and still watched them with a smile. [Go to the transformation class. ] Ron replied that he wondered why Hermione became so silent, and Rolf could be said to be the most chatty person in school with her.
[Harry was chosen as a warrior, so he doesn't have to go to class, right?That's lucky.In astronomy class tonight, I can be in a small group with you, and if you need it, just speak up. 】
[This is great, with you and Hermione here, I think I can get an A+ for my astronomy homework. 】
[Then say so.Okay, Hermione? ] Rolf gave Hermione a gentle look.
[It's up to you.If you don't mind, I'd like to go to the library before class, bye. ] After finishing speaking, the brown-haired girl quickened her pace and walked upstairs.
[Is she in a bad mood recently? ] Rolf frowned slightly, watching Hermione's back disappear at the end of the stairs.
【Hmm... do you know about the Christmas ball?Right after the Warriors' first test? ] Ron thought for a while and asked tentatively.
[I know, Hermione told me.She said that this time the dance will adopt a new format, which should be very interesting. 】
[Hmm...and then?How do you respond to her? 】
Rolf showed a rare confused expression: [I said that's good... I don't quite understand what you mean, is she in a bad mood because of this?But I didn't say anything. 】
[The point is that you didn't say anything. ] Ron put his hands in his pockets angrily, 【She is inviting you. 】
There was a complicated look on Rolf's face, [Oh my god, I didn't understand at all...well,] he laughed again, [Now I understand, can you do me a favor? 】
【you say. 】
[It's very simple, you just need to tell her that I will wait for her in the library at four o'clock this afternoon. 】
【Oh, will you invite her to be your dance partner? ] Ron laughed too, he could imagine how gentle Hermione would be tonight.
News of the Yule Ball is almost as popular as the Triwizard Tournament, especially among middle and upper grades.Grown-up teenagers and girls all have an ideal dance partner in their hearts, and those who are already in love are also looking forward to a fair date on Christmas Eve.In Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall had to raise his wand repeatedly, interrupting the notes passed between the desks.
[Have you found a suitable dance partner, brother? 】Gemini deliberately teased him during lunch, 【Merlin, we are really, really worried about your happiness on Christmas Eve. 】
[I didn't feel it at all. ] Ron sarcastically, and whispered to Harry who was watching the play beside him: [Have you invited Qiu Zhang, Harry? 】
Harry paused for a moment with the hand that raised the knife and fork: [Actually, I haven't.Hey, don't look at me like that," he smiled and lowered his voice, "You know I'm worried about other things now. 】
[Indeed, the dance is not the most important thing,] Ron deliberately said loudly to the twins, [We have to help Harry prepare for the game. 】Although he said that, he looked towards the long table of Slytherin seemingly inadvertently. Draco didn't see him, but was talking to Pansy Parkinson, and Ron turned his head disappointed.
The time for the warriors to duel with the dragon has finally come.Harry left the dorm early on Wednesday to join the other three older warriors who needed to draw the dragons to defeat.Hermione and Ron waited anxiously in the crowded auditorium, while the opposite Slytherin camp waved anti-Potter banners and badges at them. It was found that the dog-faced woman Parkinson was graciously handing the blonde Slytherin a silver fork fruit, but the boy actually turned his head to eat it, while staring at him with pale eyes.
[What is this! ] Ron couldn't help mumbling.
[What are you talking about, Ron? ] said Hermione, staring nervously at the drawing hut.
【nothing. 】Ron forced himself to focus on Krum, who was the first to appear on the stage. There were four college students sitting under the stage, and the vacant seats above belonged to the three principals, Ludo Bagman, Batik Rauch and several professors who also participated in the judging work, the wide viewing angle enabled them to have an unobstructed view of the duel between the warrior and the dragon.
Ron was only distracted for a while, and loud cheers erupted from around him. Krum had successfully caught the golden egg.
【Do you think Harry will be faster than him? ] Ron half admired, half reluctantly asked Hermione beside him.
[Anyway, I taught Harry the Flying Charm, Charlie taught him how to tame dragons, and Harry is good at flying, we have to trust him. 】
[Of course I believe Harry...] Ron muttered, and from the corner of his eye, he saw his brother Charlie and several other dragon trainers waiting for orders not far from the competition venue. They all held their wands in their hands very vigilantly.Ron guessed that Charlie should also have been instructed by Dumbledore to protect the players.
Fleur Delacour and Cedric also completed the competition one after another, and finally it was Harry's turn to play. He walked into the field with a rocket crossbow and flew up with a kick of his feet.Harry tried to cast the Flying Charm at the golden egg, but the Hungarian Horntail nearly sent him flying, and he had to temporarily fly higher up, circling over its head.Ron's hands are wet, can Harry get the golden egg?Will it be hurt by the dragon?Will Voldemort's forces take this opportunity to harm him, as Sirius said?Everything is still unknown.Ron shrunk his neck subconsciously, feeling an inexplicable chill, and Hermione also tightened her scarf.The warm light behind them moved away, and the cold atmosphere became more obvious. No one knew why the sunlight disappeared without warning.
Harry felt something was wrong too, but he couldn't stop.There were whispers among the students, and when the jury on the high platform also started to look up, the crowd became commotion.The sky finally turned completely gloomy, as if a rainstorm was coming, the wind rustled the scarves of the students, and the huge Hungarian Horntail shook its head angrily and roared.
【It's not fair.The weather is making the Hungarian Horntail cranky... Hermione, are you listening to me? 】
Hermione still kept her head up.Ron followed her gaze, and saw a large gray-black silhouette floating near the extremely high clouds above the venue.The dragon spread its wings and fanned the wind, and between the dragon and the gray shadow was a tiny Harry on a broom.He quickly flew towards the other side of the dragon, chanting the Flying Curse aloud, this time he successfully summoned the golden egg, but maybe he didn't control the force well, the golden egg flew towards him from under the dragon's wings, smashing In his arms, pushing him farther and farther away from the playing field, but getting closer to the gray smoke.
[The game must stop!Harry is in danger! 】Ron yelled anxiously.Dumbledore stood up from his seat, and Charlie and the dragon trainers rode on their brooms and flew quickly into the sky.
[It's a dementor! 】 Hermione suddenly panicked, 【Oops, Harry is too close to them! 】As soon as she finished speaking, Ron saw Harry being confronted by a dementor, and his broom swayed wildly like a boat under a huge wave for a while, and then fell straight down.
A scream hastened the collapse of the crowd.The students were in a mess, the whistling wind, the low growl of the cursed dragon, and the orders from the high platform rolled into a crazy vortex, surrounded everyone, and disturbed their fear to the extreme.
Ron and Hermione clung to each other tightly and squeezed in the opposite direction of the flow of people. Harry was lifted in mid-air by the spells of the three headmasters, and Ron and Hermione caught him.The weather was getting worse, and a group of dementors were swooping down, but Dumbledore blocked them.
Why does Hogwarts attract dementors?Ron thought desperately as he, Hermione and Charlie carried Harry towards the castle.At this moment, he saw a Slytherin student transformed into Sirius in the chaotic auditorium.
☆、Chapter54 School Doctor's Office
The weather at Hogwarts had started to turn cold, and Ron realized it when he accidentally touched Harry's cold hand.Presumably his expression betrayed some emotion, Hermione closed the book and patted him on the back.
Harry was lying on the hospital bed where they were sitting next to each other, and the night passed and he still didn't wake up.The boy who took off his glasses had his eyes closed and his face was pale. It reminded Ron of the first year, when they first met at King's Cross Station, his friend was as weak as he is now, but that was because the Dursleys ignored him. Nutrition.Since Harry entered Hogwarts and received special care from Molly during the holidays, he was a healthy boy with the same ruddy complexion as Ron—and therefore, the sleeping boy in front of him made Ron feel guilty.
[That Slytherin boy must not be Sirius. There are many ways to temporarily transform yourself into someone else. We have done this before, haven't we? 】Hermione could see what he was blaming himself for, and said quickly, 【If Sirius really planned to hurt Harry, he could have escaped as that boy, why did he let so many people see his face? Face? 】
When she saw Ron, she didn't make a sound, and called his name with a worried face: [Ron?Did you hear me?We should trust Sirius, if he wanted to harm Harry, he would have done so in the Room of Requirement. 】
【I know. ] Ron forced a smile, 【I'm just worried about Harry. 】
【He will wake up soon.Madam Pomfrey said maybe tonight. ] Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, 【The second assessment is three months away. 】
Ron nodded.For a moment he wanted to tell Hermione all his concerns, what his wisest friend, including Sirius, had said about the Malfoys, and what predictions he had made about Draco.He also wanted to ask her what are the chances that Draco was involved in all these accidents...but he kept his mouth shut after all.He didn't dare to imagine the look his friend would show after knowing his secret, he was afraid that she would be disappointed in him, thoroughly.
In order to change the subject, he said: [The day before yesterday in the library, what did Rolf tell you? ] He was delighted that Hermione's face turned pink as expected: [Oh nothing,] she whispered, [he asked me to be his partner at the Yule Ball. 】
[This is great, isn't it? 】Ron propped his head on one hand, the sunlight outside the window shone on his red hair, 【This way you can get rid of Krum... Although frankly speaking, I don’t think Rolf is any better than Krum, let You care so much about him. 】
[It feels very mysterious, Ron.It is not easily judged by the standards of outsiders. 】Hermione probably didn't expect that this topic would start between them, it seemed a little unnatural, but in the end she took a deep breath, 【For me, sincerity and spiritual communication are far more important than fame... I don't think you are too understand?After all, boys are not as precocious as girls. 】
In a daze, Ron agreed with Hermione's statement.Every moment with that person is both joyful and painful, which is by no means comparable to the life of an ordinary couple—although he has never experienced how an ordinary couple gets along.All he knew was that when he was with Draco, he often only cared about his feelings and lost all reason-if he didn't, he would realize how ridiculous he was.
Most importantly, he never judged his lover by the standards of outsiders.
【Actually, even if Rolf didn't expect to invite me, I wouldn't dance with Krum. 】Hermione's gentle voice came indistinctly.
【why? 】
[He is a very simple boy.If I don't like him, I should let him find a suitable dance partner.Actually, what I was thinking at the time was, if Rolf doesn't invite me, I'll dance with you. 】Hermione glanced at him like a child,【I'm worried that you won't find a dance partner, you don't seem to be in a hurry for so many days. 】
[But Harry didn't find it either. 】 Ron yelled dissatisfied.
【Do you know how famous Harry is in school now?He caught the golden egg under such dire circumstances that the judges all gave him top marks. ] Hermione hesitated for a moment and said, 【There will be many girls who want to dance with him, as long as he wakes up. 】
Although Ron knew that he shouldn't be sad, after all, the girl was sincerely thinking of him, but he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. 【I will find a dance partner, you can date Rolf with peace of mind. ] He bit his lip to be brave.
【Ron. ] Hermione called his name again, softly this time like a sigh.She slowly put the book into her bag, opened the curtain around the hospital bed, and stood up: [I have to go to the kitchen, you know, to talk to the house elves, do you want to come together? 】
[Next time, I will stay with Harry for a while. ] said Ron.
[Okay, see you tonight. 】
【See you tonight. 】
After sending Hermione away, Ron lay on the hospital bed and tried to sleep for a while.There was an emotion lodged in his throat that he couldn't vomit but couldn't swallow, causing him to sit up irritably after a few minutes, Harry still showing no sign of waking up.For a moment Ron even thought it would be nice not to have to face a waking Harry, and he wouldn't admit that he was jealous: jealous of the Harry Potter who was in tune with him but always got more attention.He even wondered if it was the same with Draco in the first and second grades—studying hard at homework and practicing Quidditch, or being suppressed by Harry everywhere.Maybe they are completely different in terms of their identities to Harry, but they can understand each other in terms of their mentality towards Harry, which is really subtle.
The Yule Ball is next Monday.Hermione was right, he really shouldn't be thinking about someone he'd never dance with, he'd have to find a partner, preferably a pretty girl, if he could find one.
Just as Ron was about to get up and leave to prepare for the dance, he heard shoving and talking from the door of the medical room.Although the curtain blocked his view, he could hear the two girls. Obviously, they didn't notice that the innermost hospital bed was occupied, otherwise they wouldn't be talking about such a private topic.
[I advise you to stop delusional. 】A girl said impatiently, the voice made Ron feel familiar, 【Even if he had a crush on you, it was before he found out that you were not resistant to Muggles.And now, it's me who stays with him all the time, let's just say I think we'll get married after graduation. ] Speaking of which, her tone was a little smug.
【What do you want to clarify? ] Another slightly childish female voice asked calmly.
【He will not choose you as his dance partner, he has already promised to choose me.If you know shame, you should stay away from him. 】
[I don't think you have the right to interfere with me,] the girl insisted, but there was a little cry in her voice, and Ron could hear her insisting, [I admit that I used to like him, but he has changed now ... What does it matter to you that I, as his friend, am obliged to give my advice? 】
The girl hadn't finished speaking when Ron heard the door slam again, and he almost stood up and opened the curtain - but he didn't, and his feet were nailed to the ground.He had roughly guessed the person by the door and who the center of their discussion was.
[Try saying one more sentence! 】
【Sometimes I feel sorry for you, he doesn't like you at all, you know it yourself. 】
Ron's hand was already pinching a corner of the curtain.
【what are you guys saying? 】
A storm that was building up was interrupted by Kankan. 【nothing. 】Parkinson said quickly, and she could hear her pulling the lower-grade girls aside, 【I'm talking to Astoria about you...you look bad, do you want me to write to your parents?Professor Snape is really strict, isn't he?You should advise him to lower the difficulty. 】
【Need not. ] Ron sat where he was, listening quietly, feeling that the owner of the voice was not happy, 【I just want to sleep here for a while. 】
[Then when should I come to see you?There is a club meeting tonight, you know. ] Parkinson said sweetly, there is a bit of acting in it.
This simple question was met with silence.Ron's heart clenched as he realized he had heard crucial information, but on the other hand, his mind was screaming in pain.He felt his ears ringing.
【I……】
[Weasley, is Potter still awake? ] Madam Pomfrey's voice came from her small room.
The sound outside the curtain stopped abruptly, and the space was surprisingly quiet.The tinnitus disappeared, and Ron could even hear the other party's sudden rapid breathing, followed by footsteps.He opened the curtain with difficulty, and said to Madam Pomfrey who was walking towards him: 【He is not awake yet. 】
【Probably because of the night vine ingredient in the potion, it doesn't matter, he will wake up soon, and he will definitely not delay the Christmas ball. 】
Ron knew he should smile Madam Pomfrey back, but he couldn't.Draco was watching him from just a few steps behind Madam Pomfrey, and he could choose not to look at him to obscure him from his vision, but it didn't make him disappear.
[What are you talking about, Draco? 】 Pansy Parkinson asked, she gave Ron a puzzled and contemptuous look, and leaned forward to hold Draco's arm, 【Why are you always absent-minded recently? 】
【Thanks. 】Ron said to Madam Pomfrey, he stood up, 【I have to go, I'll see Harry tomorrow. 】
【Okay, of course. ] Madam Pomfrey turned to the other three people in the room, her gaze fixed on the blonde Slytherin: 【Are you having a headache again?Do you still want some white chrysanthemum potion? 】
Ron walked over the other's shoulder towards the door, smelling Parkinson's sweet perfume in the air.Then, he heard the other person's breathing again.
[Yes, give me a bottle.I'm going to rest here, don't bother me before dinner. 】The last sentence is for girls.
【Oh, okay. 】Parkinson cast a demonstrative look at the blond girl who lowered her head and said nothing, and quickly dropped a kiss on the boy's cheek, 【Draco, can you be my dance partner at the Christmas ball? 】
【...I thought I promised you. 】
Ron walked out of the suffocating room completely.
☆、Pansy
Seven-year-old Pansy Parkinson had a crush on a boy.
This precious love first opened on Christmas afternoon, or rather—in an instant.
The moment the boy raised his eyes and said hello, he managed to capture her.In the dining room, the attractive light from the window falls into two rows of glasses, the house elf is busy presenting the food on the gorgeous dining table, and many adults are chatting lively around her.However, these were so far away from Pansy, she only knew that his eyes were a kind of psychedelic gray, he frowned slightly under the signal of his father, and finally stared at her: [Hi, my name is Draco Malfoy. 】
Oh, did she forget to mention his blonde hair?That kind of light golden color is not fiery but gentle, like the streamer that tends to be cold when the sun and the moon alternate.
【... Did you hear me?May I have your name? 】Without getting a satisfactory answer, the boy tugged at the corner of his mouth with a half-smile, and looked up at his father: 【Father, what's wrong with her? 】
[Draco, don't be rude to girls.She may be a little shy. 】 said his elegant mother.He seemed to be very dependent on his mother, and when he turned his gaze again, his expression was much more patient, and he stretched out his hand to her: 【Dinner is not ready yet, do you want to play with us? 】
Pansy didn't know who else was among "us", but she took that hand at a speed she didn't expect, and nodded desperately.Her parents laughed kindly from behind her, and she blushed.
[I think they will play well. 】The blond man behind the boy also showed a rare smile.Pansy was led out of the dining room in a dreamy mood.When they reached the long staircase, the boy shook off her hand, causing her to nearly fall.
[I think you can go by yourself. 】The boy resumed his half-smile, raised his right hand, 【You scratched me very painfully. ] Just as she was about to answer, he had already left her behind on the stairs, so she hurriedly tried to catch up with him.The sound of arguing came from the first door on the right side of the corridor, accompanied by the sound of containers being filled downstairs and whispers.
[What's the noise!Two idiots. ] This was the first sentence the boy said after he opened the door, and Pansy felt the change in him in surprise.Then, she shifted her gaze to the other two chubby boys in the room, and quickly decided that Draco hadn't made a mistake.
[Crabbe accidentally tore your dad's book! 】
【Gol was obviously the one who tore it up! 】
【enough. ] Draco said coldly, 【I don't care who it is, if you don't get it back to its original shape before dinner, don't even try to take a single snack from me. 】
The two fat boys muttered and cursed something, the tense atmosphere between them disappeared, and they turned their heads to each other to try to glue the book together.
[What book is that? ] Pan Xi didn't know what was wrong with her, her tone was never so gentle, 【Is it very precious? 】
【precious? 】Draco snorted, 【No, it's just an old textbook with someone else's name written on it.I think my dad accidentally brought it back from Hogwarts before graduation. 】He sat comfortably on the armchair, and glanced triumphantly at the two "idiots", 【Anyway, they don't know a few words, so it's fun to play tricks on them. 】
Maybe Crabbe and Goyle sweating profusely in the winter was funny, Pansy covered her mouth and giggled.She went up to him and sat down in another armchair, and she began to fantasize that he and she were masters of the estate, that Crabbe and Goyle were their servants, hard at work, while he Sitting face to face with her, just enjoying the winter time quietly...
【Damn it, have you done it yet? 】After an unknown amount of time, the phantom in front of her eyes gradually disappeared, and the impatient face of the blond boy became clear in front of her eyes. He closed the book with a "snap", 【It's much more stupid than a house elf.OK, give it to me. 】
[This book smells so sweet,] Gore said when returning the book to him, [it makes me hungry. 】
[It's the smell of honey and chocolate frogs, and there seems to be...] Crabbe added.
【enough! 】Draco interrupted him in a rather harsh tone, 【This is a transfiguration class note, not a recipe. ] But he also seemed to be a little puzzled as to why there was such a book on his father's bookshelf.The child is always afraid of things that damage his parents. He tiptoed to insert it back in place, coughed twice and said: [I will call the house elf to deal with it later. 】
[Then can we still get snacks? ] Crabbe said cautiously, Draco gave him a blank look, and didn't answer, he said: [Staying here is too boring, let's go downstairs, maybe we can practice Quidditch before dinner.How was the game?Whoever wins can make some demands. 】Crabbe and Goyle showed a look of horror, and everyone could see that they might not even be able to get on the broom.
【What do you think... Parkinson? ] He turned around and asked her as if seeking approval.
Pansy's fingers curled up, and she secretly hid them in the folds of her skirt: [I'm not very good at it, can you teach me? 】
The blond boy frowned, as if he was seriously thinking about her question, and finally said reluctantly: [I can teach you some basic movements by the way, let's go. 】
So this is a plan.Boy summons house-elf
[Exactly. ] Ron admitted with difficulty, 【They also said that you stole a precious thing from Hogwarts. 】
Sirius suddenly burst out laughing: [Me?Wasn't it you who stole the precious thing, child? 】He was amused by Ron's astonished expression, and pointed to the necklace around his neck: 【You stole the most precious space-time necklace of the Black family. 】
[This necklace?Wait—] Ron hurriedly tried to untie the necklace, but failed.
[Don't waste your energy. 】Sirius said lightly, 【This necklace belongs to the Black family, but it only recognizes one owner for a period of time—either a member of the Black family, or a person who was sincerely gifted by a member of the Black family.Wait,] He frowned and approached the necklace emitting a faint white light, 【Where did you get it?It doesn't look complete. 】
[...Draco Malfoy gave it to me. ] Ron finally told the man the truth.Sirius looked up at him in mild surprise.He re-examined the necklace and said to himself: [Yes, it is possible that Bella stole this necklace and gave it to Voldemort. After Voldemort disappeared, he entrusted it to Malfoy for safekeeping... The necklace should be made by two Composed of a ring and an hourglass to control time and space, your power here is incomplete, only time is left...]
[There is another ring at Draco Malfoy's. 】Ron replied,【During this time, the hourglass has been changing, do you know why?It's almost all flowing to the other half already. 】
【I am not sure.I don't know much about dark magic items in the family. 】Sirius pursed his lips tightly, as if he didn't like this topic, 【I left the Black family when I was 16, and they removed me long ago. 】
Ron looked at the tapestry, where the place belonging to Sirius was burned black.Next to Narcissa Black is written Lucius Malfoy, and below that is Draco's name. [It turns out that he has the blood of the Black family. 】Ron said, 【But, such a precious thing was given to me, why didn't the Malfoy family find out? 】
【You weren't found at school either, were you?No one could see it, not even Dumbledore, except the Blacks and the owner of the necklace.After Voldemort was destroyed, Dumbledore worried that he would use the necklace to make a comeback - he used its magic power to enhance his strength and attract more followers - so he asked the Malfoy family to hand over the necklace as a way to clear the charge conditions of.The necklace has remained in Dumbledore's hands ever since, although, of course, it has now apparently been recaptured by the Malfoys.They put the charge of stealing on me, not only to exonerate themselves, but also to pull me back to Voldemort's side completely. 】
[They figured that if no one on the right side believed me, I'd go back to being Black and a Death Eater, like I should have been. 】
[But Professor Lupine still believes in you, and I... I also believe in you. 】Ron hesitated and said, 【Why don't you meet with Professor Lupine? 】
[I haven't found a chance yet. 】
[Just tomorrow night, how about it? 】Ron took a deep breath and said, 【I'll bring Professor Lupine...and Harry here tomorrow night, okay?You can tell them everything, if it is true that Voldemort wants Harry to participate in the competition as you say, then he must have other plans, and you and the professor can protect Harry. 】
Sirius moved his hand away from his eyes, and Ron noticed that his dark gray pupils were shining: [Can you? ] He whispered that 12 years in prison seemed to have accustomed him to dialogues with himself, [Can I see them?Tomorrow night? 】
【Okay, tomorrow night. ] Ron said firmly, [But I have to warn you, it's not easy to convince Harry of this.I can only bring him without telling him, but I can't guarantee that he won't show you his wand. 】
Sirius closed his eyes for a moment, 【It doesn't matter, as long as you can bring him. ] He stood up, shaking the dust off his body, 【It's getting late, I have to go.Be careful with your necklace, stop trying to remove it, hide it under your shirt. 】
They walk out of the wall and Sirius turns into a black dog. [Let's go. 】Ron said, 【jump out the window of the left staircase on the fourth floor, there is no one there now. 】The black dog returned Scabbers to him, 【I will act as if nothing happened, and Pettigrew will not find out. 】Ron said,【Of course this is based on the fact that you are telling the truth. 】
The black dog nodded slowly, jumped down the stairs nimbly, and disappeared into the moonlight.
Ron turned to face the wall, put his head against the wall like Sirius, and concentrated on imagining a room: there would be three warm, comfortable armchairs, and black tea on the table, so that Harry could speak calmly. The mentality is listening to Sirius; there are photos of Harry's parents hanging on the wall...
Ron, who was absorbed in his imagination, didn't notice that the ring on the necklace emitted an unprecedented warm white light.
☆、Chapter53 first project
On the second night, Ron took Harry to the door of the Response Room on the eighth floor on the grounds that Professor Lupine wanted to see Harry.
[Did Professor Lupine say something? 】Harry hadn't had time to take off the invisibility cloak, his body was half hidden and half exposed in the air, with obvious confusion on his face, 【And, when is there an extra door here? 】
Ron glanced at the now closed door, believing that Sirius and Lupine were already waiting for Harry inside.He took a deep breath and held Harry's shoulder: [Harry, you may not be able to accept what happened next, but please trust me and Professor Lupine, we will not deceive you. 】
[Of course you will not deceive me.But what is going on? 】
[Can you go in by yourself?They want to talk to you alone. ] Ron pushed open the door.
[Who are "they"... Wait, Ron! 】
Ron pushed Harry into the Room of Requirement and quickly closed the door, watching it disappear bit by bit until it returned to the wall.During this process, he also faintly heard Harry's roar coming from the room. 【Hope I did the right thing. ] He thought, and walked down the stairs lightly.After returning to the dormitory, he couldn't fall asleep. He just closed his eyes and let his head become a mess.Would Harry trust the Professor and Sirius?Will he be more afraid of the game the day after tomorrow?
Scabbers was sleeping in its den, Peter Pettigrew hadn't come back these two days, but Ron didn't dare to put the mouse in the bed to sleep anymore.It wasn't until dawn that Ron heard movement from Harry's bedside, and then Harry's body gradually emerged from under the cloak. He turned his head to look at Ron, and nodded to him wearily.
Relieved, Ron managed to fall asleep for a while before class.
[They say that Peter Pettigrew is likely to tamper with tomorrow's game. 】At the breakfast table, Harry whispered to Ron,【It seems that the divination is very accurate, the betrayal of those close to him turned out to be him. 】
【What should we do? 】
【have no idea. 】Harry shrugged, Ron knew he was uncomfortable, 【I must pretend to be ignorant and continue to participate in the competition in order to understand Voldemort's ultimate intention.Professor Lupine will contact Dumbledore and they will do their best to keep me safe. 】
After Ron finished his breakfast, he went to class with Hermione, while Harry was called away by Collevey. The "Daily Prophet" will conduct a pre-match interview with the four warriors before the official game, and both Ron and Hermione expressed sympathy for Harry.
[I have already said that your mouse has a problem. ] Hermione said, 【During the summer vacation, Crookshanks always caught him, remember?It must have smelled something, which might be a good way to identify the dwarf. 】
【Oh forget it, I still don't like your cat. 】Ron said unhappily,【The question now is how do I get rid of him?I don't want to have nightmares every night. 】
[I will think of a way. ] Hermione said that at this moment she saw Krum standing on the top step of the stairs signing autographs for the girls, [Merlin,] she covered her face with a book, [Shall we go that way? 】
【Why are you so afraid of him? ] Ron casually moved to the right of the stairs.
【I'm not afraid of him!It's just that he wants to ask me to dance at the Yule Ball, and I don't want to say yes. 】 Hermione said through gritted teeth.
[What's wrong with this?Dancing with Krum will make you the center of attention. 】
[Ron!You don't understand anything at all...] Hermione suddenly fell silent in the middle of her words.Ron looked at her suspiciously as she stared intently at the Ravenclaw boy heading down the stairs.
[Good morning, Rolf. ] Ron greeted the boy. [Good morning, Ron, Hermione. 】The boy was holding a large book in his arms, and on the cover was written "Study on the Origin of Spells" in large characters. [It's such a coincidence that you're watching too...] Before Ron could finish speaking, Hermione bumped his arm hard.
【Where are you going? ] Rolf didn't seem to pay attention to Hermione's little movements, and still watched them with a smile. [Go to the transformation class. ] Ron replied that he wondered why Hermione became so silent, and Rolf could be said to be the most chatty person in school with her.
[Harry was chosen as a warrior, so he doesn't have to go to class, right?That's lucky.In astronomy class tonight, I can be in a small group with you, and if you need it, just speak up. 】
[This is great, with you and Hermione here, I think I can get an A+ for my astronomy homework. 】
[Then say so.Okay, Hermione? ] Rolf gave Hermione a gentle look.
[It's up to you.If you don't mind, I'd like to go to the library before class, bye. ] After finishing speaking, the brown-haired girl quickened her pace and walked upstairs.
[Is she in a bad mood recently? ] Rolf frowned slightly, watching Hermione's back disappear at the end of the stairs.
【Hmm... do you know about the Christmas ball?Right after the Warriors' first test? ] Ron thought for a while and asked tentatively.
[I know, Hermione told me.She said that this time the dance will adopt a new format, which should be very interesting. 】
[Hmm...and then?How do you respond to her? 】
Rolf showed a rare confused expression: [I said that's good... I don't quite understand what you mean, is she in a bad mood because of this?But I didn't say anything. 】
[The point is that you didn't say anything. ] Ron put his hands in his pockets angrily, 【She is inviting you. 】
There was a complicated look on Rolf's face, [Oh my god, I didn't understand at all...well,] he laughed again, [Now I understand, can you do me a favor? 】
【you say. 】
[It's very simple, you just need to tell her that I will wait for her in the library at four o'clock this afternoon. 】
【Oh, will you invite her to be your dance partner? ] Ron laughed too, he could imagine how gentle Hermione would be tonight.
News of the Yule Ball is almost as popular as the Triwizard Tournament, especially among middle and upper grades.Grown-up teenagers and girls all have an ideal dance partner in their hearts, and those who are already in love are also looking forward to a fair date on Christmas Eve.In Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall had to raise his wand repeatedly, interrupting the notes passed between the desks.
[Have you found a suitable dance partner, brother? 】Gemini deliberately teased him during lunch, 【Merlin, we are really, really worried about your happiness on Christmas Eve. 】
[I didn't feel it at all. ] Ron sarcastically, and whispered to Harry who was watching the play beside him: [Have you invited Qiu Zhang, Harry? 】
Harry paused for a moment with the hand that raised the knife and fork: [Actually, I haven't.Hey, don't look at me like that," he smiled and lowered his voice, "You know I'm worried about other things now. 】
[Indeed, the dance is not the most important thing,] Ron deliberately said loudly to the twins, [We have to help Harry prepare for the game. 】Although he said that, he looked towards the long table of Slytherin seemingly inadvertently. Draco didn't see him, but was talking to Pansy Parkinson, and Ron turned his head disappointed.
The time for the warriors to duel with the dragon has finally come.Harry left the dorm early on Wednesday to join the other three older warriors who needed to draw the dragons to defeat.Hermione and Ron waited anxiously in the crowded auditorium, while the opposite Slytherin camp waved anti-Potter banners and badges at them. It was found that the dog-faced woman Parkinson was graciously handing the blonde Slytherin a silver fork fruit, but the boy actually turned his head to eat it, while staring at him with pale eyes.
[What is this! ] Ron couldn't help mumbling.
[What are you talking about, Ron? ] said Hermione, staring nervously at the drawing hut.
【nothing. 】Ron forced himself to focus on Krum, who was the first to appear on the stage. There were four college students sitting under the stage, and the vacant seats above belonged to the three principals, Ludo Bagman, Batik Rauch and several professors who also participated in the judging work, the wide viewing angle enabled them to have an unobstructed view of the duel between the warrior and the dragon.
Ron was only distracted for a while, and loud cheers erupted from around him. Krum had successfully caught the golden egg.
【Do you think Harry will be faster than him? ] Ron half admired, half reluctantly asked Hermione beside him.
[Anyway, I taught Harry the Flying Charm, Charlie taught him how to tame dragons, and Harry is good at flying, we have to trust him. 】
[Of course I believe Harry...] Ron muttered, and from the corner of his eye, he saw his brother Charlie and several other dragon trainers waiting for orders not far from the competition venue. They all held their wands in their hands very vigilantly.Ron guessed that Charlie should also have been instructed by Dumbledore to protect the players.
Fleur Delacour and Cedric also completed the competition one after another, and finally it was Harry's turn to play. He walked into the field with a rocket crossbow and flew up with a kick of his feet.Harry tried to cast the Flying Charm at the golden egg, but the Hungarian Horntail nearly sent him flying, and he had to temporarily fly higher up, circling over its head.Ron's hands are wet, can Harry get the golden egg?Will it be hurt by the dragon?Will Voldemort's forces take this opportunity to harm him, as Sirius said?Everything is still unknown.Ron shrunk his neck subconsciously, feeling an inexplicable chill, and Hermione also tightened her scarf.The warm light behind them moved away, and the cold atmosphere became more obvious. No one knew why the sunlight disappeared without warning.
Harry felt something was wrong too, but he couldn't stop.There were whispers among the students, and when the jury on the high platform also started to look up, the crowd became commotion.The sky finally turned completely gloomy, as if a rainstorm was coming, the wind rustled the scarves of the students, and the huge Hungarian Horntail shook its head angrily and roared.
【It's not fair.The weather is making the Hungarian Horntail cranky... Hermione, are you listening to me? 】
Hermione still kept her head up.Ron followed her gaze, and saw a large gray-black silhouette floating near the extremely high clouds above the venue.The dragon spread its wings and fanned the wind, and between the dragon and the gray shadow was a tiny Harry on a broom.He quickly flew towards the other side of the dragon, chanting the Flying Curse aloud, this time he successfully summoned the golden egg, but maybe he didn't control the force well, the golden egg flew towards him from under the dragon's wings, smashing In his arms, pushing him farther and farther away from the playing field, but getting closer to the gray smoke.
[The game must stop!Harry is in danger! 】Ron yelled anxiously.Dumbledore stood up from his seat, and Charlie and the dragon trainers rode on their brooms and flew quickly into the sky.
[It's a dementor! 】 Hermione suddenly panicked, 【Oops, Harry is too close to them! 】As soon as she finished speaking, Ron saw Harry being confronted by a dementor, and his broom swayed wildly like a boat under a huge wave for a while, and then fell straight down.
A scream hastened the collapse of the crowd.The students were in a mess, the whistling wind, the low growl of the cursed dragon, and the orders from the high platform rolled into a crazy vortex, surrounded everyone, and disturbed their fear to the extreme.
Ron and Hermione clung to each other tightly and squeezed in the opposite direction of the flow of people. Harry was lifted in mid-air by the spells of the three headmasters, and Ron and Hermione caught him.The weather was getting worse, and a group of dementors were swooping down, but Dumbledore blocked them.
Why does Hogwarts attract dementors?Ron thought desperately as he, Hermione and Charlie carried Harry towards the castle.At this moment, he saw a Slytherin student transformed into Sirius in the chaotic auditorium.
☆、Chapter54 School Doctor's Office
The weather at Hogwarts had started to turn cold, and Ron realized it when he accidentally touched Harry's cold hand.Presumably his expression betrayed some emotion, Hermione closed the book and patted him on the back.
Harry was lying on the hospital bed where they were sitting next to each other, and the night passed and he still didn't wake up.The boy who took off his glasses had his eyes closed and his face was pale. It reminded Ron of the first year, when they first met at King's Cross Station, his friend was as weak as he is now, but that was because the Dursleys ignored him. Nutrition.Since Harry entered Hogwarts and received special care from Molly during the holidays, he was a healthy boy with the same ruddy complexion as Ron—and therefore, the sleeping boy in front of him made Ron feel guilty.
[That Slytherin boy must not be Sirius. There are many ways to temporarily transform yourself into someone else. We have done this before, haven't we? 】Hermione could see what he was blaming himself for, and said quickly, 【If Sirius really planned to hurt Harry, he could have escaped as that boy, why did he let so many people see his face? Face? 】
When she saw Ron, she didn't make a sound, and called his name with a worried face: [Ron?Did you hear me?We should trust Sirius, if he wanted to harm Harry, he would have done so in the Room of Requirement. 】
【I know. ] Ron forced a smile, 【I'm just worried about Harry. 】
【He will wake up soon.Madam Pomfrey said maybe tonight. ] Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, 【The second assessment is three months away. 】
Ron nodded.For a moment he wanted to tell Hermione all his concerns, what his wisest friend, including Sirius, had said about the Malfoys, and what predictions he had made about Draco.He also wanted to ask her what are the chances that Draco was involved in all these accidents...but he kept his mouth shut after all.He didn't dare to imagine the look his friend would show after knowing his secret, he was afraid that she would be disappointed in him, thoroughly.
In order to change the subject, he said: [The day before yesterday in the library, what did Rolf tell you? ] He was delighted that Hermione's face turned pink as expected: [Oh nothing,] she whispered, [he asked me to be his partner at the Yule Ball. 】
[This is great, isn't it? 】Ron propped his head on one hand, the sunlight outside the window shone on his red hair, 【This way you can get rid of Krum... Although frankly speaking, I don’t think Rolf is any better than Krum, let You care so much about him. 】
[It feels very mysterious, Ron.It is not easily judged by the standards of outsiders. 】Hermione probably didn't expect that this topic would start between them, it seemed a little unnatural, but in the end she took a deep breath, 【For me, sincerity and spiritual communication are far more important than fame... I don't think you are too understand?After all, boys are not as precocious as girls. 】
In a daze, Ron agreed with Hermione's statement.Every moment with that person is both joyful and painful, which is by no means comparable to the life of an ordinary couple—although he has never experienced how an ordinary couple gets along.All he knew was that when he was with Draco, he often only cared about his feelings and lost all reason-if he didn't, he would realize how ridiculous he was.
Most importantly, he never judged his lover by the standards of outsiders.
【Actually, even if Rolf didn't expect to invite me, I wouldn't dance with Krum. 】Hermione's gentle voice came indistinctly.
【why? 】
[He is a very simple boy.If I don't like him, I should let him find a suitable dance partner.Actually, what I was thinking at the time was, if Rolf doesn't invite me, I'll dance with you. 】Hermione glanced at him like a child,【I'm worried that you won't find a dance partner, you don't seem to be in a hurry for so many days. 】
[But Harry didn't find it either. 】 Ron yelled dissatisfied.
【Do you know how famous Harry is in school now?He caught the golden egg under such dire circumstances that the judges all gave him top marks. ] Hermione hesitated for a moment and said, 【There will be many girls who want to dance with him, as long as he wakes up. 】
Although Ron knew that he shouldn't be sad, after all, the girl was sincerely thinking of him, but he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. 【I will find a dance partner, you can date Rolf with peace of mind. ] He bit his lip to be brave.
【Ron. ] Hermione called his name again, softly this time like a sigh.She slowly put the book into her bag, opened the curtain around the hospital bed, and stood up: [I have to go to the kitchen, you know, to talk to the house elves, do you want to come together? 】
[Next time, I will stay with Harry for a while. ] said Ron.
[Okay, see you tonight. 】
【See you tonight. 】
After sending Hermione away, Ron lay on the hospital bed and tried to sleep for a while.There was an emotion lodged in his throat that he couldn't vomit but couldn't swallow, causing him to sit up irritably after a few minutes, Harry still showing no sign of waking up.For a moment Ron even thought it would be nice not to have to face a waking Harry, and he wouldn't admit that he was jealous: jealous of the Harry Potter who was in tune with him but always got more attention.He even wondered if it was the same with Draco in the first and second grades—studying hard at homework and practicing Quidditch, or being suppressed by Harry everywhere.Maybe they are completely different in terms of their identities to Harry, but they can understand each other in terms of their mentality towards Harry, which is really subtle.
The Yule Ball is next Monday.Hermione was right, he really shouldn't be thinking about someone he'd never dance with, he'd have to find a partner, preferably a pretty girl, if he could find one.
Just as Ron was about to get up and leave to prepare for the dance, he heard shoving and talking from the door of the medical room.Although the curtain blocked his view, he could hear the two girls. Obviously, they didn't notice that the innermost hospital bed was occupied, otherwise they wouldn't be talking about such a private topic.
[I advise you to stop delusional. 】A girl said impatiently, the voice made Ron feel familiar, 【Even if he had a crush on you, it was before he found out that you were not resistant to Muggles.And now, it's me who stays with him all the time, let's just say I think we'll get married after graduation. ] Speaking of which, her tone was a little smug.
【What do you want to clarify? ] Another slightly childish female voice asked calmly.
【He will not choose you as his dance partner, he has already promised to choose me.If you know shame, you should stay away from him. 】
[I don't think you have the right to interfere with me,] the girl insisted, but there was a little cry in her voice, and Ron could hear her insisting, [I admit that I used to like him, but he has changed now ... What does it matter to you that I, as his friend, am obliged to give my advice? 】
The girl hadn't finished speaking when Ron heard the door slam again, and he almost stood up and opened the curtain - but he didn't, and his feet were nailed to the ground.He had roughly guessed the person by the door and who the center of their discussion was.
[Try saying one more sentence! 】
【Sometimes I feel sorry for you, he doesn't like you at all, you know it yourself. 】
Ron's hand was already pinching a corner of the curtain.
【what are you guys saying? 】
A storm that was building up was interrupted by Kankan. 【nothing. 】Parkinson said quickly, and she could hear her pulling the lower-grade girls aside, 【I'm talking to Astoria about you...you look bad, do you want me to write to your parents?Professor Snape is really strict, isn't he?You should advise him to lower the difficulty. 】
【Need not. ] Ron sat where he was, listening quietly, feeling that the owner of the voice was not happy, 【I just want to sleep here for a while. 】
[Then when should I come to see you?There is a club meeting tonight, you know. ] Parkinson said sweetly, there is a bit of acting in it.
This simple question was met with silence.Ron's heart clenched as he realized he had heard crucial information, but on the other hand, his mind was screaming in pain.He felt his ears ringing.
【I……】
[Weasley, is Potter still awake? ] Madam Pomfrey's voice came from her small room.
The sound outside the curtain stopped abruptly, and the space was surprisingly quiet.The tinnitus disappeared, and Ron could even hear the other party's sudden rapid breathing, followed by footsteps.He opened the curtain with difficulty, and said to Madam Pomfrey who was walking towards him: 【He is not awake yet. 】
【Probably because of the night vine ingredient in the potion, it doesn't matter, he will wake up soon, and he will definitely not delay the Christmas ball. 】
Ron knew he should smile Madam Pomfrey back, but he couldn't.Draco was watching him from just a few steps behind Madam Pomfrey, and he could choose not to look at him to obscure him from his vision, but it didn't make him disappear.
[What are you talking about, Draco? 】 Pansy Parkinson asked, she gave Ron a puzzled and contemptuous look, and leaned forward to hold Draco's arm, 【Why are you always absent-minded recently? 】
【Thanks. 】Ron said to Madam Pomfrey, he stood up, 【I have to go, I'll see Harry tomorrow. 】
【Okay, of course. ] Madam Pomfrey turned to the other three people in the room, her gaze fixed on the blonde Slytherin: 【Are you having a headache again?Do you still want some white chrysanthemum potion? 】
Ron walked over the other's shoulder towards the door, smelling Parkinson's sweet perfume in the air.Then, he heard the other person's breathing again.
[Yes, give me a bottle.I'm going to rest here, don't bother me before dinner. 】The last sentence is for girls.
【Oh, okay. 】Parkinson cast a demonstrative look at the blond girl who lowered her head and said nothing, and quickly dropped a kiss on the boy's cheek, 【Draco, can you be my dance partner at the Christmas ball? 】
【...I thought I promised you. 】
Ron walked out of the suffocating room completely.
☆、Pansy
Seven-year-old Pansy Parkinson had a crush on a boy.
This precious love first opened on Christmas afternoon, or rather—in an instant.
The moment the boy raised his eyes and said hello, he managed to capture her.In the dining room, the attractive light from the window falls into two rows of glasses, the house elf is busy presenting the food on the gorgeous dining table, and many adults are chatting lively around her.However, these were so far away from Pansy, she only knew that his eyes were a kind of psychedelic gray, he frowned slightly under the signal of his father, and finally stared at her: [Hi, my name is Draco Malfoy. 】
Oh, did she forget to mention his blonde hair?That kind of light golden color is not fiery but gentle, like the streamer that tends to be cold when the sun and the moon alternate.
【... Did you hear me?May I have your name? 】Without getting a satisfactory answer, the boy tugged at the corner of his mouth with a half-smile, and looked up at his father: 【Father, what's wrong with her? 】
[Draco, don't be rude to girls.She may be a little shy. 】 said his elegant mother.He seemed to be very dependent on his mother, and when he turned his gaze again, his expression was much more patient, and he stretched out his hand to her: 【Dinner is not ready yet, do you want to play with us? 】
Pansy didn't know who else was among "us", but she took that hand at a speed she didn't expect, and nodded desperately.Her parents laughed kindly from behind her, and she blushed.
[I think they will play well. 】The blond man behind the boy also showed a rare smile.Pansy was led out of the dining room in a dreamy mood.When they reached the long staircase, the boy shook off her hand, causing her to nearly fall.
[I think you can go by yourself. 】The boy resumed his half-smile, raised his right hand, 【You scratched me very painfully. ] Just as she was about to answer, he had already left her behind on the stairs, so she hurriedly tried to catch up with him.The sound of arguing came from the first door on the right side of the corridor, accompanied by the sound of containers being filled downstairs and whispers.
[What's the noise!Two idiots. ] This was the first sentence the boy said after he opened the door, and Pansy felt the change in him in surprise.Then, she shifted her gaze to the other two chubby boys in the room, and quickly decided that Draco hadn't made a mistake.
[Crabbe accidentally tore your dad's book! 】
【Gol was obviously the one who tore it up! 】
【enough. ] Draco said coldly, 【I don't care who it is, if you don't get it back to its original shape before dinner, don't even try to take a single snack from me. 】
The two fat boys muttered and cursed something, the tense atmosphere between them disappeared, and they turned their heads to each other to try to glue the book together.
[What book is that? ] Pan Xi didn't know what was wrong with her, her tone was never so gentle, 【Is it very precious? 】
【precious? 】Draco snorted, 【No, it's just an old textbook with someone else's name written on it.I think my dad accidentally brought it back from Hogwarts before graduation. 】He sat comfortably on the armchair, and glanced triumphantly at the two "idiots", 【Anyway, they don't know a few words, so it's fun to play tricks on them. 】
Maybe Crabbe and Goyle sweating profusely in the winter was funny, Pansy covered her mouth and giggled.She went up to him and sat down in another armchair, and she began to fantasize that he and she were masters of the estate, that Crabbe and Goyle were their servants, hard at work, while he Sitting face to face with her, just enjoying the winter time quietly...
【Damn it, have you done it yet? 】After an unknown amount of time, the phantom in front of her eyes gradually disappeared, and the impatient face of the blond boy became clear in front of her eyes. He closed the book with a "snap", 【It's much more stupid than a house elf.OK, give it to me. 】
[This book smells so sweet,] Gore said when returning the book to him, [it makes me hungry. 】
[It's the smell of honey and chocolate frogs, and there seems to be...] Crabbe added.
【enough! 】Draco interrupted him in a rather harsh tone, 【This is a transfiguration class note, not a recipe. ] But he also seemed to be a little puzzled as to why there was such a book on his father's bookshelf.The child is always afraid of things that damage his parents. He tiptoed to insert it back in place, coughed twice and said: [I will call the house elf to deal with it later. 】
[Then can we still get snacks? ] Crabbe said cautiously, Draco gave him a blank look, and didn't answer, he said: [Staying here is too boring, let's go downstairs, maybe we can practice Quidditch before dinner.How was the game?Whoever wins can make some demands. 】Crabbe and Goyle showed a look of horror, and everyone could see that they might not even be able to get on the broom.
【What do you think... Parkinson? ] He turned around and asked her as if seeking approval.
Pansy's fingers curled up, and she secretly hid them in the folds of her skirt: [I'm not very good at it, can you teach me? 】
The blond boy frowned, as if he was seriously thinking about her question, and finally said reluctantly: [I can teach you some basic movements by the way, let's go. 】
So this is a plan.Boy summons house-elf
