[HP] Father?dad!

Shoes, you can only see the wall we saw before. Neil was extremely satisfied with Harry's answer. Neil and Draco looked at each other tacitly, and they had new concerns about where they would discuss black magic in the future.

"Harry, your letter said that you know what the first project is? Can you tell us about the specific situation?" Learning black magic is a matter of the future. Right now, what Neil cares most about is Harry's The first item mentioned in the letter.

Draco chose a sofa and sat down, ready to listen.Hermione also put down the book in her hand and walked over.

Harry swallowed, and began to narrate slowly. "Last night, Hagrid told me to bring the Invisibility Cloak to him. I didn't know until I went that he was going to take me to see what the first project was. I saw four dragons - the Hungarian Horntail, the Welsh Green dragons, Swedish short-nosed dragons, and Chinese fireballs. Listen to Charlie, we don't need to fight fire dragons, but we need to pass fire dragons."

Draco's eyes flashed suddenly, and he straightened up, looking at Harry with piercing eyes.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Draco's sudden reaction, Harry was at a loss.

Neil tugged on Draco's sleeve, and Draco realized his gaffe.Quickly moving his body, Draco once again resumed his graceful sitting posture.

"It's nothing. I'm just curious about fire dragons." Clearing his throat, Draco was slightly embarrassed.

"That is to say, your second project will discuss how to pass the fire dragon?" Hermione sat on the other end, her expression full of worry.On the other end, Neil also looked solemn.

Harry nodded with a wry smile. "It should be so."

Draco also broke away from the excitement that Hogwarts had real dragons at this time, realizing what Harry was about to face in the first project, and Draco fell silent.Although he likes fire dragons very much, due to his deep understanding of dragons, Draco will not be arrogant to think that he can deal with them easily.Looking at Harry, Draco's eyes were full of pity.

"Then what should we do? Is there any way to ensure that Harry survives the game?" Hermione looked extremely anxious.

"Hermione!" Neil raised his voice slightly, his voice was full of magic, "There must be a way."

Looking at the powerful confidence and determination on the face of this boy who was younger than them and looked exactly like Professor Snape, Hermione also felt the power of reassurance, and she miraculously calmed down.

Seeing that Hermione was no longer flustered, Neil looked at Draco. "Draco, do you know of any way to hurt the fire dragon?" Neil's expression implied anticipation.Among the four people present, Draco knew the dragon best.If he couldn't think of a way, then they would have to waste a lot of time.

Draco looked rather embarrassed. "The weakness of the dragon is the eyes. I know a spell that can easily hurt the eyes of the dragon, but—" It can be seen that Draco does not want the dragon to be hurt.

"What kind of spell is that, Draco?" Hermione leaned forward anxiously, "Now we mainly want to ensure that Harry can live until Tuesday after the game, as for whether the fire dragon will be injured, we can't care about it for the time being -"

"Okay." Draco pursed his lips in compromise.Although he didn't want to hurt Huolong, he still knew the priorities. "It's the Eye Sickness Curse—"

☆. Room of Requirement ([-])

"What kind of spell is that?" Harry asked impatiently.

"After using the Eye Sickness Curse, if the fire dragon's eyes are hurt, it will go blind." Draco explained, with a hint of reluctance in his expression, he was not willing to hurt the fire dragon in his heart.However, in the current situation, he couldn't help it. Even if Harry didn't do anything, the other three warriors couldn't let go. "It's just that this spell is a sixth grade subject. I wonder if you can learn it now, Harry." Speaking of this, Draco made a smirk.

"But if the dragon's eyes are injured, will it become more irritable and irritable?" Neil was quite worried about this question, he was afraid that Harry would be hurt.

"Then there is no way." Draco shrugged, expressing that there was nothing he could do about it, but his mind was spinning rapidly, wondering if there was any other safe way that would not hurt the dragon.

"That's it!" Hermione stood up with piercing eyes, and made a final decision. "Our task today is to get Harry to practice the Eye Sickness Curse first!" As she said that, Hermione ran to the bookshelf in a 'thump, thump, thump', looking for books that taught the Eye Sickness Curse.

Harry looked at the three people in front of him who were trying to think of a way for him, and his eyes were moved.

……

"Con-junc-tivi-tus Cur-se!" Since the eye disease spell required more magic power, Harry didn't use his wand at first, but just practiced the pronunciation over and over again.

"That's right." Finally, after Harry read it again, Draco mercifully let him pass. "Next, let's practice spells."

"I can't." Harry waved his hand, "I'm thirsty, drink some water before continuing."

"But where is the water here?" Hermione looked a little anxious, perhaps because the pronunciation of this spell was not entirely from the modern English department, but a mixture of Latin and English. Harry practiced the pronunciation alone for nearly an hour. "How about I go to the kitchen and bring you a glass of water?"

"Come on, Hermione, the kitchen is in the basement, this is the first floor." Draco looked down at Harry, "You wouldn't be so cowardly that a girl would run so far just to get you a glass of water, would you?"

"Of course not!" Harry straightened his neck, his cheeks flushed red. "It's okay, Hermione! I can hold on!"

At this time, a glass of water was suddenly handed to Harry.The glass contained iced lemon juice specially prepared by Neil.

"Neil! You're so kind!" Harry didn't care too much, took the water glass and drank it in one gulp, until the water glass bottomed out, and Harry burped in satisfaction. "Neil, where did you get the juice?" Only then did Harry bother to ask this question.

Neil pointed to a large jug over there and a basket next to it. "Because I was worried that I would practice for a long time, I brought food and water."

"Great!" Hermione cheered, "This way we can practice for a while, and don't have to rush to the auditorium to catch lunch!"

Draco rolled his eyes, but said nothing.Lightly kicking Harry who was sitting on the ground, Draco's tone fluctuated. "All right, Harry. Hurry up."

……

"Con-junc-tivi-tus Cur-se!" Harry cast another spell, and Draco frowned.After 4,5 or [-] hours of training, Harry was able to perform the Eye Sickness Curse in a decent manner. He didn't know if he was thinking too much, but he always felt that Harry's spells were too short.However, he has never used the Eye Sickness Curse after all, so he is not sure.

"Take a break." Even Hermione, who has always been a study fanatic, couldn't hold on any longer. Now, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. "Eat something before continuing."

Listening to Hermione's words, Neil silently took a series of food out of the basket and placed them on the coffee table.

Upon hearing Hermione's words, Harry rushed off the training platform like a lethargic puppy.Picking up a pancake from the table, Harry stuffed it into his mouth hungrily.

Others were starving too.Hermione was holding the sandwich and biting into it big mouthfuls, not even caring that the corners of her mouth were covered with sauce.Even Draco, who usually chews slowly, chewed much faster.Only Neil, who deliberately played down his role, was not too hungry because he secretly ate something in the middle.After confirming that Draco and Hermione could help Harry very well, Neil kept letting go.

"By the way, Draco, what do you think is lacking in Harry's spell?" After half a day of training, Hermione had completely changed her view of Draco.Before, she was not very willing to let Draco participate. Although they reconciled with Draco before, it did not mean that she recognized Draco's strength. In her heart, Draco had always been The image of ignorance.It wasn't until today that she realized that she had completely misunderstood Draco.Although Draco's grades are not as good as his own, but his keen eye for dealing with spells is not what he can match at the moment.There are some problems that I can't think of even if I scratch my head, but Draco can easily find out.Just like just now, at the beginning, Harry couldn't cast the Eye Sickness Curse. Both she and Harry thought it was because their grades were too low and their magic power was insufficient. Only Draco suddenly realized that this was not the case, but There was no object in front of Harry, he was just waving his wand, but he had no intention of hurting anyone's eyes.Is this the accumulation of pure blood?Hermione was a little confused.

"I'll think about it again." Draco waved his hand, motioning for everyone to be quiet.He always felt that if Harry played with such a half-baked spell, it was hard to say whether he could hurt the fire dragon. He had to think about whether there were other ways to take advantage of Harry's advantages—Harry's advantages—right ,flight!

"I thought of a new way." Draco's eyes sparkled. "Isn't Harry the best at flying? And the goal of this competition is to pass fire dragons. He can use his Firebolt, so that he can easily pass fire dragons!" Speaking of the latter, Draco spoke quickly. Faster and faster, and his expression became more and more excited.

"But—" Hearing Draco's idea, Harry's eyes lit up first, and then he paused. "How do I bring the Firebolt into the arena? Only wands are allowed in the rules?"

"It can be done like this!" Hearing Draco's genius, Hermione's brain also started to work rapidly. "Flying Curse! Yes, Flying Curse! We have learned this spell a long time ago, and it consumes much less magic power than the Eye Sickness Curse! When you use the Flying Curse to summon the broom into the arena, it will not be considered a violation!" After speaking, Hermione and Draco looked at each other and smiled.Finally thought of a better solution!

Seeing that Draco had completely merged into it unconsciously, Neil curled his lips with a happy expression.

"By the way, Neil." After eating the chicken leg in his hand, Harry thought of something, "I went to see the dragon this time, and I saw Karkaroff from Durmstrang and Madame Maxime from Beauxbatons." .” Having said that, Harry’s tone was muffled.He didn't expect that the other two schools would actually cheat, and it was the principal of the school who did the cheating. "You're right."

Neil raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. "It's understandable that they want better grades from their school's Warriors."

Hermione opened her mouth, then closed it again.What can she say?Say they cheat?But Harry also knew about the events, didn't he?Looking up, Hermione wanted to see Draco's reaction.

Draco didn't speak, but there was a sense of course on his face, and there was clarity in his eyes.Hermione pouted - did she really think too much?

"Then what should we do now? Do we continue to practice the Eye Sickness Curse or the Flying Curse first?" Harry turned his head and looked at the three of them.

"Time is running out." Neil pursed his lips with a serious expression. "After eating, practice the Flying Curse first. Wait until you are proficient in the Flying Curse, and then practice the Eye Sickness Curse." After listening to their discussion, Neil also felt that the Flying Curse is more practical for Harry now. , and the Eye Disease Curse can only be used as an alternative when the Flying Curse fails.

Both Hermione and Draco nodded, both of them had the same considerations as Neil.

……

Back at the Potions Office, Neil was so tired that he was about to lie down. At this time, it was almost time for the curfew.If Sirius hadn't said that he would be back today and wanted to report Harry's progress so that he wouldn't worry, Neil would have gone back to the dormitory directly.

"Neil, how is Harry?" Sirius left Hogwarts for a few days. After returning, his first reaction was to care about Harry's progress. If it wasn't too late, he would still like to visit Harry's dormitory. look.

Sitting tiredly on the sofa, Neil explained the situation today in detail.

After hearing what Neil said, Sirius also felt relieved. "You guys are awesome!" Sirius' face was full of pride. "Even if it's me, I can't think of a better way!" Sirius was filled with pride when he thought that his son and godson were so smart.

The straight back of Severus, who was sitting behind the desk, also relaxed as Neil spoke.When Neil's narration came to an end, Severus leaned back in his chair with soft eyes.

It wasn't until he finished speaking that Neil noticed that the time had passed the curfew.

"Rest here today." Severus also noticed the time, and spoke lightly.

"Okay, Father." Neal stood up. "I'm going to wash up first." With that said, the exhausted Neil forced his momentum to turn around and walked into the bedroom.

After Neil left, Sirius approached Severus again. "Severus, can you agree to what I just said?" Sirius licked his face, expecting.

"What is it?" Severus asked knowingly.

"That's right, it's about helping Remus brew the wolfsbane potion!" Sirius was a little anxious, and raised his voice.

Severus gave Sirius a stern glance, and Sirius immediately covered his mouth with his hands.Leaning forward slightly, Severus brought his face closer to Sirius, his voice low and hoarse: threatening, "Why? Give me a reason to help him! Otherwise—"

first project

Looking at Sirius, Severus looked viciously.Sirius flinched, and said bravely, "You brewed a potion for Remus last year, didn't you? Moreover, the brewed Wolfsbane potion has been improved, and it's not available on the market now. ..." Because of nervousness, Sirius was quite incoherent.Knowing that Remus had to live a wandering life again due to the loss of the wolfsbane potion during this period, Sirius felt a little sad.He originally wanted to help Remus, and wanted to buy wolfbane potion for him, but he refused, saying that he didn't want to spend his money.In desperation, Sirius had no choice but to try his luck with Severus first.

Severus sneered, his expression turning hard. "Presumably, Your Excellency hasn't forgotten about the fifth grade?" The corner of his mouth mocked, and Severus looked at Sirius with eyes full of sarcasm and anger. "I made medicine for Lupine last year because I was afraid that he would hurt Neil, but this year? I'm sorry, he is no longer a professor at Hogwarts. I don't have the kindness to volunteer to help this cruel, violent and uncontrollable werewolf! "The Screaming Shack incident in the fifth grade has always been a knot in Severus' heart. Even though he and Sirius reconciled on the surface, Severus has never forgotten this incident.

Seeing the deep hatred on Severus' face, Sirius was shocked at first, then stunned, and finally speechless, his expression full of guilt. "I'm sorry." It was the first time Sirius apologized to Severus for that incident.Back then, Sirius didn't realize that that incident would bring harm to Severus. After going through so many hardships, looking back now, Sirius suddenly realized how young and frivolous they were back then. ignorance. "I'm sorry, Severus, I was wrong about what happened back then." Looking straight into Severus' eyes, Sirius had a sincere expression and a sincere tone. "You can blame me all you want. But Remus is innocent. He didn't know about it at the time, and he was terrified and regretful afterwards. I beg you, help Remus, okay?"

Severus snorted coldly, turning his head away.Although he remained indifferent on the surface, there were waves in Severus' heart.He actually heard an apology from Sirius... He never thought that one day he would hear an apology from Sirius, who is known for his stubbornness. He thought that Sirius would never think that he had done something wrong.What happened back then, although Sirius was also at fault, but after all, he was not harmed, but later, he actually hurt Sirius. There was a entanglement of grievances and grudges between him and him, and it was already hard to tell who was to whom Wrong... Before he knew it, Severus' eyes were no longer as cold as before.

"Please." Looking at Severus, Sirius' expression was full of pleading.He knew that actually he didn't only have this method, he could go to the pharmacy and buy the finished wolfbane potion and send it to Remus, so he couldn't refuse it.However, out of selfishness, he gave up this simple method and chose to go to Severus.Now, although he and Severus no longer quarreled, they were still in an awkward and non-communicative state most of the time when Neil was away.Sirius didn't pay attention to this problem before.After Neil's birthday, seeing Neil's happy and relaxed appearance because he could get along with his parents at the same time, he couldn't help but care about Neil's thoughts and wishes.He knew that with Severus' character, he would never be able to take the initiative, so let him take the initiative to take this step—as long as his son is happy.Sirius Ma Daha, who was thinking this way, ignored this idea. He didn't reject this idea at all, but had a faint expectation.

Seeing Sirius' pleading expression, Severus fell silent.After a long time, Severus took out a piece of parchment, picked up a quill, and wrote on it with flying colors.

"It's impossible for me to brew a potion for Lupine." After hearing this sentence, Sirius' face suddenly fell down.Clearing his throat, ignoring his reaction, Severus spoke awkwardly. "This is the formula of Wolfsbane Potion. I believe that with your Potions achievements, brewing it by yourself will at most smash the crucible, and the house will not be a problem." Sirius raised his head unexpectedly, a little in disbelief. "Don't reveal the prescription!" Severus really doesn't have the time to make the medicine himself. Now, the research on Lucius' side has already taken up most of his time, and he has to spend the rest of the time. Attend classes, correct homework, and research your own potions.Fortunately, part of the work of tutoring Neil has been handed over to Sirius, otherwise he would be even more busy.Since Sirius is so free now, find something for him to do - Severus told himself.He subconsciously ignored that this was the first time he had told anyone other than Neil about his private secret potion formula.

"Thank you, Severus!" Sirius smiled. "I will definitely keep the prescription well!"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

After two days of training, Tuesday Insurmountable arrived.After lunch, Neil and Draco came to the stands early, occupying an excellent position.He couldn't bear Sirius to stay in the cellar and worry about it, and after telling Sirius not to transform into a human form in public places, Neil took him with him.At this moment, Bruno was sitting majestically in front of Neil.

With Bagman's voice, "The first project of the Triwizard Tournament officially begins!", the first project kicked off.Until then, Neil knew that the specific task of the project was to let the warrior pick up the golden egg protected by the fire dragon.

"The method Harry chose is very advantageous." After hearing the content of the game, Neil said.Draco held his head up, his expression sullen.

Cedric was the first to play, and he was fighting the silver-blue Swedish Brachysaurus.

The crowd was full of screams - Cedric turned the rock into a dog, and the short-nosed dragon was chasing the dog. Halfway through the run, he was shocked to find that Cedric had touched her egg!The Swedish Short-Snouted Dragon let out a roar, its body was high-spirited, it changed its mind, and it turned around to face Cedric!

Leaning closer to Neil's ear, Draco turned up the volume - now the arena was filled with screams, and it was impossible to hear anything without shouting. "Cedric is injured! This will definitely deduct points!"

Neil clenched his hands tightly, looking at the injured Cedric, his heart was full of worries about Harry.

Despite all the hardships, Cedric succeeded in the end.Next up was Fleur Delacour.Her performance was quite satisfactory, but she also got the golden egg.The third to play is Krum.

"Look! He also used the Eye Sickness Curse!" Pointing at Krum, Draco looked excited.

"But the eggs were all trampled - points should be deducted, right?" Looking at Draco, Neil was a little confused, "Do you think Harry will use the Eye Sickness Curse later?"

Looking at the half-broken eggs on the field, Draco frowned and drew his tone. "I hope not—" At this moment, Draco looked rather annoyed, he didn't expect that the task was not just passing the fire dragon.If I had known earlier, I would not have chosen the Eye Disease Curse.

Sirius in front heard the conversation between the two, and also barked twice, his expression full of anxiety.

Neil patted Sirius on the head reassuringly, and said to Draco: "Don't worry, Harry's Flying Curse has been practiced very well. He will definitely use a broom first! The Eye Sickness Curse may not have it." A chance to play!" Even though he said this, Neil himself was not sure.It's just that, at this moment, he's not as nervous about Harry's grades as Draco is—for him, Harry's safety is more important than anything else.

Finally, after Bloom left, Harry made his debut.

Draco gasped. "Harry is so unlucky—he is actually facing the most ferocious Hungarian Horntail!" He and Neil exchanged glances, and they smiled wryly at each other.

In the field, Harry waved his wand!After a while, the swishing sound became louder and louder!

"Look! Harry succeeded! The Firebolt is flying over!" Draco grabbed Neil's sleeve tightly, his expression excited.

The Firebolt stopped in front of Harry, and Harry straddled himself and flew into the sky.

Looking up, Neil could only see Harry far away in the sky, moving left and right with great agility, while the clumsy Horntail shook its head left and right following Harry.

Looking at Harry's prancing figure in the sky, Neil looked solemn, clutching Sirius' hair nervously.

"Ah! Harry is hurt!" Suddenly, Harry couldn't dodge in time, and his shoulder was swept by the tail of the hornet!Draco stood up, looking anxious.Neil's hand tightened suddenly, and Sirius grinned in pain, but he didn't dare to speak.

Raising his paw, Sirius patted Neil's knee lightly, his eyes fixed on Harry in the sky.

Realizing that he hurt Sirius, Neil quickly let go.At this moment, Harry swooped down, let go of his hands, clamped the Firebolt with his feet, and leaned forward—he caught the golden egg!

"Great!" Neil finally couldn't help standing up.There were bursts of violent cheers, applause, and screams.The whole venue was in a state of ebullition!

"Great!" Neil gripped Draco's arm tightly, his expression excited, "Harry passed! Harry passed!"

Excited, Draco didn't care that his clothes were wrinkled by Neil, and his eyes were shining brightly. "However, Harry was injured a little bit, which probably will affect the score. Seeing Karkaroff's extreme eccentric scoring method just now, Harry will probably be affected." Frowning slightly, Draco was a little worried.

"It's okay." Neil's face was rosy, obviously because he was too excited before. "It can be seen from the performance, Harry performed better than everyone else!"

Sirius let out a 'woof', as if agreeing with Neil's words.

Draco glanced at the man, a dog, a father and son in front of him, and twitched the corners of his mouth, noncommittal.

After rubbing Sirius' head, Neil looked relaxed and cheerful.

"My clothes!" Suddenly, Draco wailed, and he realized that his clothes were wrinkled by Neil. "Neil—do you need so much strength!" After being bumped by Hermione last time, the clothes he is wearing now have anti-wrinkle spells, but they are still wrinkled by Neil. Take a closer look , there is also a small hole in the fold, and it is this hole that destroys the effect of the anti-wrinkle spell.One can imagine how much effort Neil used.Draco was almost freaking out.

"Haha..." Neil laughed dryly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Glaring at Neil, Draco puffed up his face sullenly, but there was nothing he could do.Taking a deep breath, Draco waved his hand, "Forget it, I also know that you are worried about Harry. I won't argue with you..." Looking away, Draco said sadly.

Smiling and nodding, Neil delivered a dose of horses and farts at the right time: "I knew Draco was the most generous."

Draco turned his head away, but his ears were slightly red.

……

When the final results came out, Harry and Krum tied for first place, Cedric was third, and Fleur was fourth.

After Ludo Bagman announced the ranking and the second match is scheduled to start at 2:24 am on February 09 next year, the first match is officially over!

……

When the game was over, Neil and Draco planned to take Bruno to find Harry to see how his injury was, but they saw Harry and Ron walking back to the castle side by side from a distance.

Neil and Draco stopped and looked at each other.

☆, reconciliation

When the game was over, Neil and Draco planned to take Bruno to find Harry to see how his injury was, but they saw Harry and Ron walking back to the castle side by side from a distance.

Neil and Draco stopped and looked at each other.Sirius wanted to cheer and run over, but Neil stopped him.

Draco shrugged, his expression slightly mocking. "I can't see that the savior reconciled with his little Weasley follower so quickly. Ron Weasley is really good, as soon as he sees Harry getting the limelight, he goes up to him so quickly." The Malfoy family and Wei In the Sly family, Draco and Ron have always been at odds. This time, after Ron and Harry had a stalemate, Draco was happy not to continue contacting Ron.Draco was resentful that Harry had forgiven Ron so easily - why, what's so good about this Weasley?Harry pushed his hand away because of him back then, and now he accepts him so easily again?

"Who made him Harry's best buddy." Neil's tone was tangled.Neil also knew that with Harry's personality, if Ron came to him, he would definitely forgive Ron, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.In his opinion, Ron, as Harry's good friend, not only can't help him when he encounters difficulties, but also doesn't trust Harry because of jealousy. Such a friend really has no merit.This incident suddenly wiped out all of Neil's goodwill towards Ron some time ago.

"Let's go to Harry another day." Knowing that Draco must have an idea at this time, not to mention Draco, even he was a little upset that Harry forgave Ron who betrayed him so easily, and was a little worried before. Harry was injured, but seeing Harry's walking posture just now, Neil also knew that Harry's injury was probably nothing, so Neil was not in a hurry to find Harry.

Seeing Neil and the big black dog looking at him with watery eyes blinking in front of him, Draco reluctantly nodded without refusing.Although he was quite critical of Harry's actions, he also knew that this was Harry's freedom, but—Draco was once again deeply aware of the major differences in concepts between Slytherin and Gryffindor— ——If Ron is his friend, then he will never, never forgive him!

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Meeting again in the Room of Requirement, Neil and Draco were not surprised to see Harry bring Ron along.

"Congratulations, Neil." Ignoring Ron's greeting, Neil looked directly at Harry.Draco didn't even look at Ron, and raised his head arrogantly.

There was no response, and Ron's face was a little embarrassed.Hermione hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "You all sit down, I have prepared a lot of delicious food today."

Neil gave Ron a cold look, and sat down listening to Hermione's words.Draco snorted coldly, and looked at Harry relentlessly: "Harry, I want to know, are you sure, you want to forgive this person who once mistrusted you, isolated you, and even hurt you so easily?" , Draco squinted at Ron, as if looking at some garbage.

Ron flushed.To everyone's surprise, he didn't contradict Draco's words. "I know, I was wrong about what happened before, and I apologize to Harry! I shouldn't have done it because of—" Harry held Ron back, telling him to stop talking.Looking at Neil and Draco, Harry looked calm and sincere. "I know, you're trying to blame me. But I've forgiven Ron. You forgive him too, okay? For my sake, forget about it. We're still good friends, okay?"

Neil took a deep look at Harry - he understood the persistence in Harry's eyes.Although he was still a little upset, this was Harry's own business after all, and Ron might be more responsible than he thought—at least he never thought that Ron would apologize to Harry in front of everyone.Nodding, Neil remained expressionless. "I listen to you."

Draco turned his head slightly, and although he didn't speak, he acquiesced to Harry's request.Because of Ron's courage to admit his mistakes, Draco looked at him less contemptuously than before.

"By the way, I brought the golden egg." Saying that, Harry put the golden egg in his arms on the table. "Yesterday in the Gryffindor Tower, I opened the golden egg, and there was a particularly harsh sound in the golden egg, which frightened a large group of us to death." As soon as Harry put the golden egg on the table, Harry Bill and Draco surrounded him automatically.

Neil picked up the golden egg, turned it slightly, and then turned the golden egg around, and easily found the groove of the golden egg. He dug his hand into the groove, and Neil pried the golden egg open.

When Neil put his hand on the groove, the Gryffindor trio covered their ears with their hands.A sharp scream resounded through the sky, and Neil closed the golden egg suddenly, his face turned pale.

Looking at Draco, he also looked terrified.Putting the golden egg back on the table, Neil chose a seat far away.

"Do you know what this sound is? We discussed it for a long time yesterday, but there was no result." Harry asked with little hope.Judging from Neil's reaction, I know that he doesn't know either, otherwise, he must not have reacted like this.

Contrary to Harry's expectation, it was Draco who answered this time. "If there is no accident, this should be the voice of a mermaid." Draco's eyes were full of disgust.Draco has never had a good impression of mermaids, animals without beauty.

"Mermaid? Are you sure?" Harry sat up straight and looked at Draco expectantly.Hermione's eyes were full of surprise, as if she couldn't believe that Draco would know the answer she didn't know.Ron's face was full of curiosity.Neil was not surprised - he just knew that Draco knew far more about the wizarding world than they did, so he tried every means to draw him into this organization.

Seeing everyone's surprised and admiring eyes, Draco nodded reservedly. "I'm sure. When I was a child, I heard the voice of a mermaid in my family's picture album." Draco paused, "Mermaids will make screams on the shore, but when they are in the water, their voices are the most graceful singing."

"That is to say, we should put this golden egg in the water to hear his voice?" Harry was quite able to infer other things from one instance, and immediately understood what Draco meant.

Draco hooked his lips. "It's not hopeless."

Ignoring the sarcasm hidden in Draco's words, after so many days of getting along, Harry gradually got used to the little thorns that popped up from time to time in Draco's words.Now, he already knew that this was just Draco's own character, and
