[hp] Pure White Age

Melon Study Class! "

"Hey! This little guy still remembers me!" Ms. Bubaji looked very happy, at least Ron had never seen her so energetic at Hogwarts, "Before I was killed by Voldemort, I Professor of Muggle Studies indeed, but I don't remember you anymore! I decided to forget some unimportant things for a while, which is easy for the soul."

"Will you forget everything in reality?"

"Maybe, it depends on what I think." Professor Bubaji walked up to him and touched his head, "If one day I suddenly don't want to stay here and want to sleep in another place, I will You’ll forget everything about it. You’ll do it too,” she added, “We’ll all do it.”

"But I'm not dead yet." Ron whispered, not sure if he was afraid of disturbing something, "I'm here to find someone."

Ron really didn't know how to describe the expression on Professor Bubaji's face. "You haven't died yet, you came...to find someone?" She repeated his words tremblingly, "So, you came to visit us from that world?"

Before Ron could react, almost the whole living room was rushing towards him.

"Say hello to my wife, lad! Her name is Margaret! Margaret of the teahouse at No. 13, Hogsmeade!"

"Give me a kiss on my youngest son, John Crawley, I suffered when he was born! Didn't even look at him!"

"How is Hogwarts now? Voldemort didn't do anything to the children, did he?"

Ron felt like he was having a dream he didn't want to wake up from.The faces in front of him looked so healthy, glowing with a good-looking red, none of them was lifeless, even an old man in his eighties could dance Muggle disco flexibly, and they were all happy chattering endlessly.

"Hurry up and say a few words, Ron is here to find me!"

"So I came to see you off!"

"The treatment of the Blake family is really good."

"But I heard that he was no longer a member of the Black family!"

The crowd gossiped regardless, and at the same time tacitly made way for the two of them.Before Ron knew how to speak, Sirius grabbed his arm: "Come here, Ron," he said, "I'm going to take you to meet two people."

His palms were still warm.And Ron already had a hunch who he wanted him to meet.

Sirius led him upstairs and led him into Regulus' room.

"This is Harry's best friend from Hogwarts, Ron Weasley. He came to say goodbye to me."

Lily Evans put her arm around his shoulders.Harry's mother had beautiful green eyes and was very young.Ron remembered that she was only 20 years old when she died, that is to say, not a few years older than him now.

"He looked at Lily as a fool." Another head poked out from behind Lily's shoulder. It was also a very handsome face with a lovable look. "I know you, boy. Harry told us about you. Yes, Lily and I were there to cheer him up when he first summoned his Patronus. He's such a nice boy, isn't he?"

"Stop teasing him, James." Lily sniffed. "We did stay with him, but he couldn't see us. James walked around him praying, 'Please don't be a deer, please.' Don't be a deer', it turned out to be a deer."

"My dad's is a deer, too," James added. "I want to see if my son can get something new. But the deer is fine too (he noticed Lily's look), so when he says the Patronus Charm , will think of us."

"He's been thinking about you all the time."

James smiled. "We know, boy. We've seen Harry quite a bit before the Mirror of Erised. Well," he said, "we'll give Padfoot time. Say hello to Harry for us and tell him We love him, okay?"

Ron nodded emphatically.James and Lily went downstairs, and Sirius sat on the windowsill drinking coffee.Ron couldn't help thinking how happy he must be to hear someone call him Padfoot again.

"They're all here." Sirius broke the silence, "not just James and Lily, but also Regulus, many people from the Black family stay here. My mother... my mother is also here, she and the portrait It's completely different here, she has a good temper, but her memory is not very good. If I don't come, she will forget me."

Sirius didn't meet his eyes.Ron came here just to ask "Are you willing to do this", but now, he felt that there was no need to ask.Sirius knew better than him how to treat himself better, Ron said to himself, at least here, he looked so healthy, and when the battle was over, he could let Harry come to see him...

"Say Harry for me too, and tell him I love him, will you?" said Sirius. "If he asks you, let Lupine tell him what happened. Lupine knows. Of course, if... Deng If Bullido doesn't want him to know, you can take my body back, just... say I'm dead, and tell him the truth after the battle is over, okay?"

Ron kept his head down, and he didn't say yes until Sirius asked him again.He knew he had to lie to Harry again, because Dumbledore certainly didn't want Harry to know what the afterlife would be like.He must be in awe of death in order to maintain the passion for fighting in reality, right?

He stepped forward and hugged Sirius.The bandage on the man's chest was gone, and Ron no longer had to worry about pressing the wound.

"Tell Moonface that Padfoot wishes him a happy wedding," said Sirius.

"I'll bring Harry to see you, don't forget about us too soon, okay?" said Ron.

"Of course, look at James and Lily." Sirius laughed, "They have never forgotten over the years."

Ron came down the stairs, and the people in the living room were still waiting for him to deliver a message to real people, or a kiss to tell them they hadn't forgotten. "Be happy, lad, we're just dead!" Bubaji's joke elicited a hearty laugh. "Let that noseless guy be scared, now we're all better than him!"

It took Ron a while to realize who they were kidding.After all, in the real world, no one would ever dare to do that. "Do you want to dance?" Someone asked him, and he laughed and nodded.Lily came over and took his hand.When he left there, everyone was still enjoying themselves.

Regulus returned Sirius' body to him.

"Can I take him across the lake?" Ron asked him.

"Of course." In the cave, countless flying insects issued ethereal instructions, "Here, only the soul is the entity." Now, Ron understood what kind of agreement Regulus had made with the space: the flying insects were his soul , is not a part of here, but cannot leave.

Sirius in his arms closed his eyes tightly.Ron held him in his arms, and the boat took them to the other side of the lake.Draco came running from not far away.

"Ron! I found the exit, we..." His cheerful voice stopped abruptly.

"It's not as bad as you think," said Ron, "trust me. But it's a long story."

The ship was almost gone.The flying insects slowly flew away and surrounded them in the sky above their heads.Ron couldn't help spreading his hands, and they quickly landed and turned into a heavy locket.

☆、Chapter120 Tom Riddle's Memory (1)

The news of Sirius' death tormented everyone's heart.Lupine, who had inherited Sirius's double-sided mirror, told the trio that he and Tonks had a simple wedding at 12 Grimmauld Place, attended by almost all members of the Order of the Phoenix.Lupine also said that both he and Tonks would love to have Harry come up with the name for the unborn child.Harry said he'd think about it, but both Ron and Hermione could see that Lupine's attempts to divert Harry's attention hadn't been successful.Recently, Harry often sits in a daze, and even Quidditch training is not interested.Ron was a little guilty about this. If Dumbledore hadn't lent him and Draco Harry's Invisibility Cloak, Harry could have gone to the Mirror of Erised to find comfort.He swore he would take Harry to the world of the dead as soon as it was all right.But even he himself didn't know when that moment would come.

So far, they have destroyed two of the Horcruxes in the necklace: the Ravenclaw diadem in Snape's chamber and the Slytherin locket in Regulus' chamber.That's a good sign, but they have to step up the pace.Dumbledore reminded them that the owner of the next space was related to Harry, and they had already obtained Harry's blood with the help of Snape, and it was time to enter the third space.

The door lock pattern of the third space is not complicated, it is a gemstone ring.They pushed open the door and landed on a foggy London street.The first fragment of memory apparently happened in winter, when the biting cold wind penetrated directly under the invisibility cloak.It is night now, only a few people are cleaning the snow in front of the door.The decorations on the shop windows and the door of the house remind the two that Christmas is coming.

Why does the memory of the space owner start from the street where Muggles live?Was he raised by Muggles like Harry?While Ron was thinking about this, Draco pushed his arm.

The weak light of the street lamps coated the snow with a faint silver glow.Ron followed Draco's gaze: in front of the shop at the end of the road, there seemed to be two people entangled.They looked at each other and walked forward quickly.As the distance between the two and the target continued to narrow, a woman's painful voice gradually became clearer.

"Please, kind person—" Her voice was hoarse, and she had to do her best to let others hear what she said, "I must get the money for the accommodation tonight, or the child will freeze to death, I beg you -"

"Didn't you see that I've closed the door!" The gray-haired man who was being held by her sleeve pushed her aside impatiently. He pointed to the locked door of the pawn shop and shouted, "I'm still here!" Hurry home! Even if you want to be Napoleon's crown, please come back tomorrow!"

The woman froze for a moment, apparently she, like Ron Draco, had no idea who Napoleon was.She was still clutching the pawnbroker's sleeve tightly, but the man pushed her impatiently, which actually pushed her into the snow beside him.A small black cloth bag arced out of his hand and was thrown back to the woman.He scolded and ran away as if flying.The cold wind blew the pine branch decorations in front of the shop trembling, and the woman tightened her ripped robe, her back bent even further.In the light of the street lamp, Ron saw that she was holding a baby in her arms, and a pale little face was looming under the robe.Strangely, the baby's eyes were darkly open, no matter how his mother was pushed, shoved and cursed, he didn't make a single cry.

The face of the poor mother was revealed in the light.The cold and the pain in her heart distorted her beautiful face.Her face was as pale as snow, a pair of beautiful eyes drooped, tears flowed from them, and the tear trails snaked across her small cheeks.Ever since she was pushed into a snowdrift by the pawnshop owner, her last drop of strength was exhausted.She lay on the snowdrift with blank eyes for a while, finally got up, and huddled in a corner of a shop to nurse her child.

"Do you know this woman?" Ron asked.

Draco shook his head.At this moment, the door of the shop where the woman was leaning opened.

"Girl," a woman's voice came from inside the door, "let me see what you have in your hand. If you need it, you can spend the night with me tonight."

"We'll have to see what she's up to," Draco said.They followed the woman into the closed pawn shop.The owner of the pawnshop was a middle-aged couple. Xu Shi had just witnessed the tragedy through the window, and they finally opened the door to the victims. "My dear, you go to the warehouse and bring that sofa bed." The woman said to her husband, and then turned to the woman, "Poor thing, you sleep here tonight and let John take you to a nearby relief station tomorrow morning." , There are two meals a day, you take your children, just beg them, they will give you a place to sleep."

The woman froze there, and after a while she knelt on the ground covering her face and weeping loudly.The woman reached out to help her, and she cried and stuffed the little black cloth bag into the woman's hand, saying that it was a family heirloom.The woman couldn't resist, so she put the cloth bag on the counter and pushed the woman to wash her body.

Taking advantage of the woman's absence, the couple leaned on the counter and sighed.The husband had nothing to do, so he opened the black cloth bag and took out a black gemstone ring.Ron and Draco had been standing in the corner, and seeing the ring on the door lock appear so soon, they were also excited.I saw that the husband was just playing with the ring in the palm of his hand at first, but after a while he hastily lit the lamp and took out a magnifying glass to examine it carefully.

"This might be a really good thing." After a long time, he said hesitantly. "Maybe it's a family heirloom."

The woman's expression also became serious.The two huddled under the candlelight for a while, and finally locked the ring in the drawer. "If this thing stays in her hands, it will be stolen sooner or later." The woman said, "It's a cold day, and she is lucky to meet us. The trouble just happened, and the sleeping should have been woken up long ago. Who will open the door for her except us?... At worst, you can give her some extra money tomorrow, do you understand?" Her husband hurriedly nodded in agreement.The woman got the ring, and became more and more enthusiastic to help carry the child.

"Do you know how Dumbledore hurt his hand?" Ron asked Draco suddenly.

"He didn't mention it much," Draco replied. "I asked him at the time, and he just said that he made a mistake when he was looking for the Horcrux, and he was poisoned by a trap...Why do you ask this?"

"I've been wondering, would Dumbledore have entered more than one space without telling us?" Ron said, "That time he stayed in the necklace for a long time, and we all agreed that he had been staying in Regu Ruth is recovering from his injuries. But... we don't even know how he got hurt."

"Impossible. Without my guidance, he can't transfer from one dimension to another." Draco said firmly.Ron didn't speak anymore, but Dumbledore's secret still swirled in him.From the conversation between Snape and Dumbledore simulated in the first space, it can be seen that Dumbledore knew the location of the seven Horcruxes very well: four were in the necklace, the diary had been destroyed, and the remaining The two of them are Nagini and Harry.So what else could he mean by "finding Horcruxes" when he told Draco other than entering the necklace?According to Ron's guess, Dumbledore was probably injured in the third or fourth space, so he had to find a way to return to Regulus' space to recuperate.However, Dumbledore was not the owner of the necklace, and it would be just as inconceivable to imagine him moving in and out of it.Ron gave up thinking for a while: "What shall we do with this ring?"

"Leave it alone for now. The locked ring is never the real ring." Draco frowned, "Ravenclaw's crown is Lily Evans' tears, Sirius' life is exchanged for the Black family's Reunion...the ring must have something to do with what the owner of the space desires most."

But they don't even know the identity of the owner of the space.Ron rubbed his temples. The couple had already gone back to the inner room, so they had to lean against the counter to make do for the night, and then continue to follow the woman and child tomorrow morning.Ron lay down next to Draco and closed his eyes. For some reason, the baby's indifferent little face left a deep impression on him.

The next morning, the woman, dressed in clean clothes and holding the baby in her arms, was led by the husband to a relief station at the crossroads.From the conversation between the woman and the man, it is easy to detect that she has little knowledge and slow response, as if she has lived in a very closed environment since she was a child.Probably because he couldn't bear it, the man gave her all the money he had on him before he left, and told her to go to the factory to find something to do after she settled down. Relief alone cannot support a child.The woman stared at her two beautiful big eyes, blankly like a doe strayed into the city.

The world around me turns from day to night without warning.They seem to have come to the first scene in memory again, the woman staggered knocking on the door of the pawn shop, no, this time she looked even more haggard, the long skirt the woman gave her was already dirty Her face was even scarier than before, flushed abnormally, her chest heaved violently, and she let out a rapid cough.No one would open the door for her this time, and she knocked for a long time before she finally understood it.The child on her back finally learned to cry. He cried miserably, his arms fluttering in the coarse cloth, as if longing for his mother's comfort.But his mother had no time to take care of him, she paused by the door of the pawnshop for a while, and walked in another direction.

Perhaps it was the encounter at the relief station that made her somewhat understand the rules of the world.That night, the woman used her last ounce of strength to walk to the door of an orphanage and put the crying baby on the edge of the rusty fence.And she herself returned to the original place, and stopped breathing in the icy snowdrift.She was holding on to that magic wand all the time, but for some reason, she didn't even recite the simplest flame spell to warm her body.

Ron and Draco silently watched the scene in front of them.The baby was found by an elderly maid who, noticing a woman lying down across the street, sent another young girl to check.The door was opened, and the people inside the door hurriedly informed the dean.

The baby never cried again, as if he knew he would never be comforted again in this life.Ron and Draco followed the maid all the way to the dean's office.This was the first time they entered the bright and warm room in this space. Ron saw the crooked name embroidered on the baby's swaddle, and the long-standing speculation was finally confirmed.

Tom Riddle.

The calendar on the wall of the room showed that it was the last day of 1926.

☆、Chapter121 Tom Riddle's Memory (2)

Ron had a hard time imagining the Tom Riddle in the orphanage and the later Voldemort as the same person.Of course, that's not to say they aren't alike.When he observed Riddle with the impression of Voldemort, it was easy to find the cruel and secretive nature hidden under that young body.Even in the gray tunic he was wearing like the others, you could immediately spot him in the crowd—a fine-faced, sullen child.

When seeing the orphanage, Ron wondered if something happened to Riddle here, but it didn't.In addition to the boring and depressing atmosphere, life in the orphanage is not bad.Mrs. Cole, the steward, is a mild-mannered middle-aged woman who has no other problems except occasional alcoholism. Tom Riddle has gotten her into trouble a lot.At one point, Ron and Draco witness Riddle hanging Billy Stubbs' rabbit from a beam, given to Stubbs by a couple who wanted to adopt Yes, when Riddle asked Stubbs for the rabbit, Stubbs didn't give it to him; in another clip they see Riddle discovering that he can talk to snakes while hiking in the countryside; finally, in On a seaside outing, they followed Riddle and two other children into a cave.

Those two kids—Amy and Dennis—were Riddle's nominal best friends.Riddle led them into the cave, however, only intending to use them to test his newfound magical powers.He tried to move them mentally—hanging them high off the rock wall, as he had done with the rabbit.Both children were terrified, and he let him torture them up and down enough before slowly lowering them back to the ground, deceiving them that he was just playing with them—at that time, he didn't even know that wizards should use Wand, what a terrifying talent.

"Does that cave by the sea look familiar?" Draco said to Ron after coming out of the space for the first time.

Since then, Amy and Dennis have become abnormal, often in a daze and talking nonsense.Mrs. Cole knew Riddle was to blame, but like every time before, she had no proof.So she was genuinely relieved when Dumbledore showed up in a fuchsia velvet suit and offered to take Riddle away.

"What do you think... what Dumbledore thought at that time?"

"He must have discovered something. Riddle's problem was so obvious after all. But, but..." Ron blinked. "If he's giving up a student because of that, he's not Dumbledore."

The content of Tom Riddle Space is very detailed.He seems happy to preserve the memory of every prank, trick, set-up, or testament to his abilities for future reference.This magpie-like collection is easily reminiscent of his later hobby-killing people and making Horcruxes.During his Hogwarts years, he had learned to put on a flattering mask for himself, which was a breeze for a boy as handsome as he was.But behind that mask, a cold and ferocious beast face became more and more clear.It was also at Hogwarts that he solved the mystery of his own life experience.Contrary to what he had expected as a child, the person who had abandoned him and his mother had turned out to be a Muggle, and his poor mother, who had died tragically on the street, was from an ancient pure-blood family, the only remaining descendant of Salazar Slytherin.On a chance trip to Diagon Alley, he saw the ring that belonged to his family at the counter of Bojinbok shop.He quickly convinces Mr. Bockingbock that he is a poor student with high grades and aspirations for a work-study program, and that he manages to steal the ring while on the job and put the blame on someone else.After confirming the secret of the Horcrux from Slughorn, he returned to the Riddle House, killed his father and grandparents with his own hands, and made the first Horcrux.

Why is there a ring on the door lock of the third space?The answer couldn't be more clear.

"The ring is the starting point for him to start his path to power." Ron said feebly, "He regards it as a great commemoration-to mark himself with the most noble and most symbolic of extraordinary status, which is in addition to avoiding Death, the thing he cares about most in life. But I still don't understand, if the 'ring is not a real ring', where is it hiding?"

"After coming out of the space for the first time, I checked Tom Riddle's file at Hogwarts," Draco said. "It said his birthday was December 1926, 12."

"It's normal, and no one knows his exact birthday. So we can only count the day he arrived at the orphanage as his birthday."

"What I want to say is not this, but this detail reminds me... Why does he have memories before December 1926, 12? And it is so clearly portrayed, as if he had actually seen them?"

Ron wanted to refute Draco, saying that Riddle, as a wizard with superb magic, could of course create exquisite details in his own space.However, before he could say anything, he himself was a little uncertain.

There is definitely something wrong here.According to past experience, once a space is formed, its power is far greater than the owner of the space.And this space symbolizes Voldemort's endless desire for power. Why did it allow Riddle to insert illusory fantasies of maternal love into it?If it really allows this kind of imagination, why is the transition between Riddle's mother's rescue and death so abrupt?

After Ron returned to the dormitory, he wrote down all the questions in the back of the textbook.Power, the ring, the imagination of the mother, and the very familiar cave—the cave they had seen in Regulus' space before.Draco told Snape that they wanted to meet Dumbledore.Finally, one night, Dumbledore led them to the Pensieve and showed them the real scene when he went to pick up Riddle from the Orphanage.

Almost all the details are the same as what they saw in Riddle's space, except for one thing: Mrs. Cole mentioned in the conversation with Dumbledore that Riddle's mother did not die on the cold street, but He died lying in a warm room.The day she gave birth was New Year's Eve, and the young woman staggered and knocked on the door of the orphanage, tugging at the skirt of the old maid and begging her to save her life.She died after giving birth to Tom Riddle in the attic bedroom, and was the nurse and old maid in the orphanage who accompanied Riddle through his most vulnerable period.

Finally, Dumbledore also lent them the information about the Gaunt family on the bookshelf. "A person's imagination may contain things that he doesn't necessarily understand. Don't let go of any details, if you really think there is a problem with that segment."

And the problem is really too obvious.In the folding booklet attached to a certain biography of the Gunter family, a careful reporter recorded the family tree of the Gunter family in its entirety.Ron and Draco were surprised to find that Merope Gaunt was not the beautiful and helpless woman in Riddle's imagination. On the contrary, her two eyeballs were deformed and separated outwards, and she had a humble and gloomy temperament lingering around her.In an issue of The Quibbler from the 19s, Dumbledore kindly circled a small news story for them.The report pointed out that a member of an ancient pure-blood family who settled in Greater Hangleton was found by neighbors to have violated the law on interacting with Muggles, and used a love potion on Muggles without authorization. Let it go.

When Tom Riddle was a student at Hogwarts, he must have searched carefully for the deeds of the Gaunt family.Not to mention that he had gone back there himself and planted the blame for killing the three Riddles on his uncle.As for Merope's death in childbirth, it was impossible for the people in the orphanage to deliberately hide it from him.

All signs indicate that Tom Riddle, or the former Voldemort, created a beautiful dream for himself in space out of thin air.In that dream, his mother was a noble and beautiful pure-blood wizard who lost her life after raising him alone for a period of time, and could only entrust her beloved son to the orphanage.Riddle's heart is cold, even the Gunter family that can give him glory is just an empty name, and he has never really loved the members of the matrilineal family.If it is said that when he was creating the space, there was indeed a trace of poor attachment left in his young life, it could only be to his mother whom he had never met—a mother who had never breastfed him once and never forgot her until death. The woman who gave his disgusting father's name.

He could not weave this dream perfectly, because dream making requires not only subtle magic, but also loving imagination.Tom Riddle lacked this ability at the beginning of his life. He probably didn't want the mother in his dream to take care of him, but he couldn't imagine how a single mother would treat her son.Will she smile at him?Will you sing him a lullaby during feedings?

Even in his only remaining human dreams, there was a cold void.

Perhaps because of this, space has not eliminated it.Only in that dream was he not the product of a love potion, the bitter fruit of a pure-blood wizard's twisted love affair with Muggles.He just needs to have a father who disappears and a mother who struggles to survive and eventually dies, like many children who beg for a living on the streets of London.This longing drives him, making him use the ring pawned by his mother as the starting point for his conquest of power, erasing the traces of the paternal family from the world with his own hands, and creating the first Horcrux.Let the noble belong to the noble, and the dirty to the dirty, the fate of people should be so clear.It was this thought of pursuing the ultimate that made him achieve this position, and it was also this thought that forced him to use the most conspicuous things to make Horcruxes, and forced him to kill Harry Potter with his own hands.A person's greatest strength is precisely his greatest weakness.

This is Tom Riddle in Dumbledore's eyes.He had watched him for a long time when most of the world didn't know his name.Now, taking this opportunity, Ron and Draco also vaguely understood.

☆、Chapter122 Tom Riddle's Memory (3)

Ron found the photo of Gaunt's ring in a pile of old documents given by Dumbledore.Before that, he had never seen its original appearance.It was a mesmerizing ring.Compared with another family heirloom of the Gaunt family, the black gemstone inlaid in the ring obviously contains a deeper magical power.

resurrection stone.What a wonderful name.No wonder Dumbledore took extra pains to find it, just look at the parchments and photos covered with notes.When flipping through the documents, Ron couldn't help but think of Dumbledore's injury on his hand.Dumbledore said that before Draco inherited the necklace, he had gone through many detours in search of Horcruxes.While they were busy looking for the first Horcrux, he disappeared for a while, and before they entered Regulus' space, he had already entered Regulus' space early.There are indications that Dumbledore only seems to give them the task of finding the Horcruxes. In the bottom of his heart, he has his own plan.

He had told Draco that the injury was due to a moment of confusion.What Bewitched the Greatest White Wizard of the Century?Could it be a resurrection stone ring that is said to bring the dead back to life?

This conjecture has always lingered in Ron's mind.As early as the first grade, he had heard about Nicolas May's deeds.Later generations dug up the coffins of the LeMay couple but did not see the corpses, so the legend that "the Philosopher's Stone made the couple immortal" spread. Much weirder.It was hard for Ron to imagine that Dumbledore, who always smiled brightly in front of all mysteries, would spend his energy on such illusory pursuits.

"So you don't believe it at all?" Draco asked him.

"It's hard to believe, isn't it?" Ron replied, "After so many things? Magic can indeed help us do a lot of things that Muggles can't, but we also have limitations. If the resurrection stone really exists, then Can't those people behind the veil come back?"

Draco stared at him for a long time until Ron felt that he was a little strange. "What you see behind the curtain changes you." He put down his teacup and said in an almost certain tone, "It changes the way you look at life and death. But for those who have not been there and accept the traditional concept of life and death As far as people are concerned, there is no reason to believe in the resurrection stone, it is just a wish."

Of course Ron knew what he meant.He was about to say something, but was interrupted by Draco's next words: "In fact, everyone has this desire, it's just the difference between whether it is strong or not. I know it's strange to say this but—" The blond boy walked to Beside him, he straightened his collar, "You haven't noticed the danger of losing someone at any time, at least not more than I noticed."

"Sirius is gone, but you said goodbye to him well, knowing that he has no regrets. Among the rest of the people, you are already the one in the most dangerous situation. When you and I are running for the mission, your Parents, siblings and friends are sleeping in a safe place, and you don't have much to worry about."

"...but I'm different. When I'm with you, it's clear to me that my father was struggling to survive under the Dark Lord; that my mother was torn between emotion and morality; that my friends were either pushed by their parents Joining the Death Eaters, or anxiously awaiting your first mission...you won't understand how much I wish the Resurrection Stone existed, and that I could get it, and give those around me a chance to live— Even if it's just one person."

Throughout, they are very different.past
