[HP Draco] Attendant

lonely old man

1985, summer.

"Grandpa, why did you buy me ice cream?"

The little girl with messy hair held the cone, looked at it for a while, then carefully looked at the white-haired old man in front of her, then opened her mouth, and finally uttered a sentence: "Thinking of evil..."

The old man smiled, squatted down, didn't care about the girl's realm, and asked gently: "Do you want to see your father?"

"..." The girl seemed to be trying to understand this sentence with her brain. She looked at the cone for a long time: "Grandpa, I like your side very much. I can't hear any strange voices."

"Believe me, you won't hear any strange sounds from your father's place."

The old man replied, showing a humorous smile: "He will be very good to you."

The girl looked at him for a while, and gave him an awkward hug: "Thank you, I understand."

"Thank you, grandpa."

She was a child, and Dumbledore knew that.

However, Madeleine Burke was destined to have no stable life, and Dumbledore knew it when he saw her.The fact that the child was born in that woman's family made Madeleine an unfortunate child.

He stretched out his hand and took the child's hand. The child's eyes were beautiful, big, and different from her messy body, they were clean blue.Originally, Dumbledore wanted to cast a cleaning spell on her, but this would affect whether Shu Burke would have sympathy for Madeleine.

So Dumbledore didn't do that.

So, when the dirty and tattered child appeared in front of the angry Mr. Burke, Dumbledore saw what he hoped for happen.

Mr. Bork's anger was covered by astonishment, followed by confusion, bewilderment, and finally pity and sympathy that could not be concealed.

"Hello." Mr. Bork squatted down slightly, and stretched out his hand cautiously: "Are you Madeleine?"

Madeleine blinked, looked at the man for a while, then lowered her head again, without saying a word, she held Dumbledore's clothes tightly, and shook her head again.

"No, don't." She said in a low voice, it seemed that because of Mr. Bork's attitude at the beginning, she became nervous: "If, if it will cause you trouble..."

As she spoke, she rubbed against Dumbledore's back twice more. Finally, her left hand twitched, and she lifted Dumbledore's robe, completely hiding herself in Dumbledore's robe.

Dumbledore sighed, and finally nodded to Mr. Burke and snapped his fingers.After he moved away from the spot, the little girl was sleeping soundly on the ground with her eyes tightly closed.

"Take good care of her, Shu." Dumbledore said, bent down, and picked Madeleine up. He slid down the sleeping Madeleine's back and continued: "Because of Legilimency, she is more beautiful than other girls of her age." Your child will be sensitive and mature, Shu, you can hate her, and you can also be angry because of it."

"But I hope that in the days to come, because of this compassion, you can take good care of her and accompany her. Shu, that's enough."

After Dumbledore deleted the memory of Madeleine with him and the memory of the conversation with Mr. Burke just now, he chose to hand Madeleine to Mr. Burker. Mr. Burker looked at the girl and finally sighed. Tightly holding the five-year-old child in his arms - Dumbledore knew that for a long time to come, Madeleine would have a home, but as a price, she might experience an unusual life.

Their purpose was not pure from the very beginning, and Dumbledore only hoped that Madeleine's uncommonness could be delayed a bit——

Postpone a little more.

"Please save my godfather, Dumbledore, please save him."

He wished that Miss Madeleine had had an ordinary school life.

He so wished.

That woman was killed by Madeleine herself, and Dumbledore learned about it from Madeleine when she cast a cleansing spell on Madeleine.The woman has become more insane since Madeleine left, and Madeleine's appearance has stimulated her even more. Isabella, this manic woman originally wanted to kill Madeleine with her magic wand, but was killed by Madeleine. Delin's loyal house-elf sent his wand flying and froze.

But Madeleine did it.

She killed the woman almost without hesitation. When telling the story, Dumbledore found that Madeleine seemed to be saying something that should be said. Madeleine, who had experienced happiness, hoped to kick the misfortune away. Extreme happiness and extreme disgust made her directly choose the most difficult path——

That's not what Dumbledore wanted.

"Miss Madeleine, as you said, let's make a deal."

Dumbledore said, he stretched out his hand and smiled at Madeleine, Madeleine blinked and understood what Dumbledore meant, so she also stretched out her hand and held him tightly.

At that time, Dumbledore thought of Madeleine when she was little.

The little girl took his hand, and among a pile of assorted and exquisite snacks, she chose the most common, ordinary ice cream. Dumbledore vaguely remembered that he paid for Nat.

Thinking, he nodded to Madeleine.

The first thing after Unbreakable was completed, Dumbledore changed Madeleine’s memory, and the fact of [Madeleine killed her own mother] became [The house elf was eager to protect the master and killed the woman. 】This fact, but Madeleine will never know about it.

After claiming the Ravenclaw crown, Dumbledore and Madeleine were once again separated.

He sighed and sat down in his seat. There was a little silence in the headmaster's office, where he was alone, and Fawkes called out, which made Dumbledore smile at her.

Soon, Harry Potter will be entering school.

Dumbledore thought again.

It seems that this seems irrelevant, but Dumbledore knew that Madeleine would try her best to help Harry and help him in her own way.

At this point, Dumbledore began to wish—

I hope Madeleine can be a happy child.

"Long time no see, how are you?" Dumbledore asked the woman with strange gray hair in the gloomy house. The woman froze for a moment and replied, "It's okay."

"Are you still in pain?" Dumbledore sighed softly, and slowly moved a step towards the woman. The woman immediately hid in an unknown corner like a frightened mouse.

And her happiness.

Dumbledore took a deep breath.

"I hope you can do me a favor, it's something that is good for both of us." Dumbledore sat down on the ground, looking like he wanted to meet the frightened heroine: "I think, if possible, you can Help me keep an eye on a girl who's bright and paranoid—"

"If possible, I hope that you can become a cat and guide her—she will give you the life you want."

It was a poodle.

A little girl was chosen.

When I saw Madeleine again, it was already at the school opening banquet. When singing the school song, Dumbledore was not surprised to find something strange in Madeleine's soul—he glanced at her a few more times, In the end, it was determined that this little girl really needed to do a lot.

For this reason, in the first grade, he told the twins, the trio, and Draco about Madeleine's dragon heart.In order for Madeleine to help the trio, so that the trio know that no matter what happens, Madeleine has her own reasons; in order for the twins to know that Madeleine is a child in pain and needs their company. There will be a happy student life; and in order for Draco Malfoy to understand the girls around him better, stop being self-righteous, and pay more attention to Madeleine.

Dumbledore is selfish.

he thought.

He hopes that Madeleine can grow up, and he hopes that Madeleine can experience the happiness of a child. This kind of contradictory mood reached its peak when Madeleine and Tom got along with each other in the second and third grades.For a while, Dumbledore paid more attention to Madeleine than Harry, because Madeleine would handle Harry's affairs, so Dumbledore had to take care of Madeleine a little more——

Then, upon receiving the woolen socks, Dumbledore was sure he had a choice.

"Thank you for the wool socks, Miss Madeleine."

Madeleine left the principal's office without looking back. Dumbledore took off his glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and finally repeated to the empty principal's office: "Thank you."

Treating a person sincerely can often get a precious response.

"Madeleine, what did you see?"

"I see that I'm smiling, my significant other is around me, we're having Christmas - and I'm smiling without baggage, like I'm supposed to be."

At this moment, Dumbledore decided his choice - he let go of his hand and chose to let her be free and do whatever she wanted.

"I hope you are safe, happy, and shining brightly in your future life."

All along, you have been in my plan, you fit my plan so well—but it shouldn't be.

Harry grew, Draco grew, some let it go, some took it.

Madeleine, you too should catch—

"I hope you can get the most ordinary love."

your wool socks.

In the summer of 1997, Madeleine, who had become a girl, once again gave him a hug similar to the summer 12 years ago.

"Thank you, Dumbledore."

"Thank you all the time."

Madeleine was a bright kid, and it was all the work of her—she needed to know that.

"you are welcome."

He spent a long time making a kid who might have gone the wrong way happy.

Dumbledore was originally a lonely old man, everyone loved him, everyone needed him, and everyone loved him.

However, at that time, he was a lonely old man no matter what.

Standing in front of the Hog's Head Tavern with Madeleine, Dumbledore sighed.

"When I decided to retire, I just thought about it, and lived the life of an old man in a bar with my brother." Dumbledore said, watching Madeleine open the door, Madeleine Hearing his speech, he snorted twice: "It's amazing to be able to live until now, thank my godfather for making you the potion, Dumbledore."

In the middle of Madeleine's speech, a glass wine bottle flew out of it, and it seemed that it was about to hit Madeleine's head.Dumbledore raised his hand slightly, and the cup stopped in mid-air.

Madeleine stuck out her tongue, looked at Dumbledore again, and finally, she bowed slightly, showing a normal smile to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore blinked, turned his head, and entered the tavern.

The owner of the tavern raised his head, exchanged a glance with him, finally acquiesced in his existence, and then wiped the glass in his hand.

Dumbledore took a deep breath and said to the boss.

"I am back."

Madeleine Burke had given him a pair of woolen socks.

Now, he can finally return to his family.
