[HP] Father?dad!

black. Neil nodded, "Sirius Black is my mother's cousin."However, according to my mother, he has been very rebellious since he was a child.When he was sorted, he was sorted to Gryffindor, and since then, his relationship with his family has been very difficult.In the few years when he was about to graduate, for unknown reasons, he was expelled from the Black family.Harry's father, Mr. Potter, and he are best friends.However, he eventually betrayed Mr. Potter, and he was imprisoned in Azkaban for this reason. "At the end, Draco's voice was a little low. "I still remember he escaped this time, and my mother cried when she saw the newspaper.I still remember him talking to himself in the newspaper, saying that if he chose Gryffindor, why would he betray..."

Neil listened intently to Draco's narration, but was slightly disappointed in his heart.These were all he already knew, and he didn't get any new news from Draco's words.

"By the way." Speaking of this, Draco suddenly remembered something, "I still remember, when you first came to my house, my mother mentioned that the color of your eyes is very similar to Black's." Thinking of it, Draco felt embarrassed.When Neil first came to his house, he was a little jealous. He always only saw in his eyes that his mother was so kind to Neil, and he even went to find his mother to act like a spoiled child.Later, knowing that his mother explained to him that it was only because Neil's eye color was similar to his cousin, which made her feel very nostalgic, he reluctantly agreed to share a little bit of his mother with Neil.Thinking about it now, Draco simply felt that he was unbelievably naive at that time.

Draco just said a word unintentionally, but it was thunderbolt in Neil's ears when he heard it.The hairs all over his body stood up, and his whole body was extremely stiff—the same color as his own eyes—could it be——

Although it was unbelievable, Neil had a vague guess in his heart...

At dinner time, the Snapes and the Malfoy family were sitting at the long table having Christmas dinner.Big Malfoy and Big Snape, as well as Little Malfoy and Little Snape, all looked as usual, completely unable to tell that not long ago, the two parties had important conversations that could turn their lives upside down.

Neil sat next to Draco, cutting the beef in front of him expressionlessly.From his face, it is completely impossible to see that his heart is surging at this time.His thoughts were still stuck in the conversation with Draco just now.From the brief conversation with Draco just now, Neil already had a bad guess in his heart.Although it is difficult for Neil to accept this result, if it is true, then everything can be explained.Whether it's why Black didn't catch them alone, why Black gave him a gift, or even why Black was so close to him, there was a reasonable speculation on all of these.

However, Neil did not believe in this conclusion.He'd rather be in the wrong direction of his thinking.If things were really as he thought, but Black was really a traitor, and he didn't do anything to Harry just because of his presence, how embarrassing should he be?All along, Harry has been his best and most important friend. If things are really as he thinks, what should he do?How can I still face Harry? !

wrong!Neil shook his head slightly.My mind is confused... Is there something I have neglected... Calm down, your current mood is not suitable for thinking about problems...

"Neil, are you still used to wearing a headband?" Lucius, who was seated at the top, said gracefully, looking at Neil with concern. Lucius acted like an uncle who cared about his children.

During this period of time, Neil's hair has grown a lot. Today, he just put the headband that Lucius gave him on his head to tie up the excess long hair.

"I like it very much, Uncle Lucius." Hearing this, Neil withdrew his thoughts.Swallowing the steak in his mouth unhurriedly, Neil raised his head with a polite smile on his face.While speaking, Neil stretched out his hand and touched the hairband on his head with affection.

Seeing this, the smile on Lucius' face deepened, and he opened his mouth exaggeratedly, with a cadenced voice: "As long as you like it." After speaking, Lucius turned his head to look at Severus who was beside him. "Severus, my old friend. See how much Neil appreciates it." The words insinuated Severus's pure black wizard robes that had remained unchanged for centuries.

Severus didn't change his expression, he just raised his eyelids. "I don't know if some proud white peacocks can still be so radiant without the beauty potion—" Severus' tone was threatening.

The smile on Lucius' face froze.Smiling embarrassingly, Lucius tried to make amends: "That's because Neil followed your taste." After speaking, Lucius turned his head proudly, pretending that nothing happened, and continued to eat.

The corners of Neil's eyes twitched.Every time he saw the arrogant and gorgeous Uncle Lucius who always liked to provoke his father like a child, but was always blocked by his father's understatement, and then he never tired of it afterwards, Neil felt that he couldn't look directly...

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

late at night.Kneeling on the ground, Neil quietly sorted out his thoughts.He was thinking about what else he had overlooked...

Neil thought about the situation when he and Harry met Bruno at the same time on his birthday... On that day, Bruno was very close to Harry, but he had to distance himself... If Bruno was really Black , it means that my speculation in the afternoon may be wrong... If he did not arrest Harry on the spot for his own sake, he should be close to himself... But not only did he not, but he behaved like Harry Closer... Since he was acting so close to Harry, he probably wasn't the real traitor either...

Neil only felt that his mind was in a mess, and the lack of clues made it impossible for Neil to restore the truth of the matter...

In the silence, Neil sighed softly... The only thing we can do is to investigate further... See if we can find any clues...

Looking at the star-studded sky, Neil put his hands together.Grandpa...you are in heaven now, are you okay...Grandpa, I hope this is just your little Neil guessing wrong...the one who betrayed his best friend is not the same person who abandoned his own child ...

Just like that, Neil straightened his back, looked in the direction of the sky, and knelt for a whole night...

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

The Christmas holiday is not long, and it is over in a flash.Neil packed his luggage and followed Severus back to the potions office through the fireplace again.

"You go back to the dormitory first." Stepping out of the fireplace, Severus looked at the time and said that it was almost curfew.

To Severus' surprise, Neil stood in front of him without moving.Raising his eyebrows suspiciously, Severus waited patiently for Neil to speak.

"Father, how long do you think the dementors will stay in the school?" Neil chose a question he thought was the safest as the starting point.He knew that it was not an appropriate time to directly ask his father about Black, but he couldn't wait any longer.Ever since he speculated that Black might have that kind of relationship with him, Neil felt that a group of ants were constantly biting in his heart.If things are as you guessed, then you have the right to know the truth, don't you?After thinking about it, Neil decided, today, let's try to find out what Severus has to say.

Hearing Neal's question, Severus was taken aback. "Wait until this case has a result." Speaking of this, Severus had a strange expression of disgust mixed with twists on his face.

Neil was keenly aware of the flaw in Severus' words - he said to wait until the case had a result, not after Black was arrested.That is to say, my father also has doubts about this case?

Agitated, Neil wanted to speak, but when he reached the point of his mouth, he inadvertently saw a flash of pained expression on Severus' face, and Neil stopped.Swallowing back the topic he wanted to talk about, Neil pretended to be natural and said, "It would be great if the dementors could leave the school earlier. It's not convenient to hang out outside the school now. ..." Neil pouted, complaining like an ordinary child.

Severus took a deep look at Neil and patted Neil's head. "Be careful. You must not go to a place where there are dementors." The words were extremely serious.

"Don't worry, father." Neil nodded cautiously, "I'll go back first."

Severus nodded, but said nothing.When the office door closed again, Severus raised his hand and rubbed between his brows.Neil's reaction just now was very unnatural. Although it was not obvious, as his father, Severus, who was already known for his meticulous observation, could not have noticed it.Moreover, the usual Neil would not deliberately act like a baby like he did just now.

It seems that Neil has noticed something...

☆, quarrel

On the first day of school, Neil asked Harry out.Sitting in the empty classroom on the second floor, Neil waited quietly for Harry.

"The weather is so nice today, why did you meet in the classroom?" After closing the classroom door, Harry walked in and sat down next to Neil.

"I don't want to bask in the sun." Neil said perfunctorily.It has not yet been determined what Black's position is, nor whether Bruno is Black, and he is unwilling to take Harry on an adventure.Moreover, he asked Harry out today because he wanted to talk to him about Black, and it was even more inappropriate to be outside. "How was your vacation?" Neil changed the subject.

"You don't know, I received a Firebolt during the holidays!" Harry was annoyed as soon as this topic was brought up.He waved his arms, looking excited, "That's the Firebolt! But Hermione ran to tell Professor McGonagall that she suspected that the Firebolt was not signed, and that it might have been sent by Black. Professor McGonagall confiscated the Firebolt, saying It needs to be disassembled for inspection!" Speaking of the excitement, Harry stood up, "That's the Firebolt, how could it be dismantled like this! What if it can't be restored, or its performance is affected?!" Having said this, Harry was filled with righteous indignation.

Ever since Harry said that he had received a Firebolt, Neil's expression became serious.It couldn't have been a coincidence that both he and Harry had received an anonymous Firebolt at the same time.

"I also received a Firebolt for Christmas." Neil said suddenly.

"Really?" Harry was stunned, and immediately leaned in front of Neil, "Who sent it? Did you bring it to school?"

"I left it at home." Hearing Neil's words, Harry sighed in frustration, and sat back on the chair.Ignoring Harry's reaction, Neil continued, "I didn't sign my Firebolt either."

"What?" Harry opened his mouth wide in surprise, and then stood up excitedly. "It must be someone who sent us the Firebolt! I said it couldn't be Black! I'm going to find Professor McGonagall, so I can get the Firebolt back!" Harry wanted to rush out of the classroom.

Neil reached out and grabbed Harry's wrist. "On the contrary, I think it's quite possible that both of us got our Firebolts from Black."

Harry stopped in his tracks.After hearing Neil's guess, Harry looked a little confused. "But—why? I won't talk about sending it to me. Hermione said it might be a conspiracy. Why did Black send you a Firebolt? How did you come to this conclusion?" Harry stared blankly with Neil.

"Have you ever wondered, if Black really sent the Firebolt, why did he spend so much money to give you a Firebolt?" Neil stared at Harry with serious eyes.

"I don't know." Harry shook his head. "Maybe it's because he cast a curse on the Firebolt, so that I fell from the sky during the match?" At this point, Harry's words suddenly stopped.Thinking of the temper tantrum with Hermione before, he felt slightly uncomfortable.He suddenly realized that Hermione's worry was justified.Um!Decided!Go back and apologize to Hermione!

Neil shook his head. "If he really thinks so, he can definitely send you a black magic item that can cause direct damage to you, instead of a broom. You should know how expensive the Firebolt is." Harry nodded repeatedly, "In this way, it doesn't cost money and can hurt you more deeply."

"I think so too." Harry nodded in agreement, "So I don't think Black sent the broom."

"No." Neil shook his head, "The broom is probably given by Black."

Looking at Neil, Harry didn't make a sound.He has been confused a bit.

Neil continued to explain: "I have found some things. I think there is something strange about what happened back then, and Black may not be the real traitor. I listened carefully to Hermione's words that day, and I think there are some loopholes. The following I have some doubts. First, if Black really escaped to chase you, why did he choose to escape this year? Since there is a way to escape, why did he stay in Azkaban willingly for so many years before? Inside, facing dementors all day long? Second, since Black was able to escape from Azkaban and has not been found until now, it shows that he is a very powerful wizard. Dwarf Peter, along with a dozen or so Muggle passers-by, illustrates this point even more. But if he is really a traitor, facing the Auror, it is completely unreasonable why Blake would have been arrested without a fight. It is very easy to escape, just a simple apparition, and no one will find him. Then, the question arises—why didn't he run away or resist to find his master at the first time, but killed him? Didn’t respond after meeting Peter?! Is it because his magic power is exhausted? Or is there something else? The third—”

Harry was stunned, looking at Neil with a dazed expression. "Enough!" suddenly, Harry yelled.Neil was taken aback and stopped speaking.

"Neil, why are you defending that man, scum!" Harry wheezed heavily, his expression agitated. "That man killed my parents! When I went back that day, I found the photo that Hagrid gave me. It turned out that he was the best man at my parents' wedding! My parents trusted him so much! But he betrayed my father Mom! If it wasn't for him, Mom and Dad wouldn't be dead! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be an orphan! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be living under the fence with Aunt Petunia for so many years! You know, Midnight Dream When I return home, I will also secretly fantasize... How I hope that my parents can still be alive... If so, can I grow up happily like an ordinary child... If so, yes It’s not that I can also enjoy the care of my parents like ordinary children... If so, I don’t need to be this so-called savior and bear these responsibilities that shouldn’t belong to me... But all of this, because of that damned traitor, It was nothing! It was him who caused my parents to die! It was him who made me an orphan! He also killed another friend of them! Neil, why would you speak for such a person, scum... Looking at Neil's face, Harry was heartbroken. "Tell me, if he's not guilty, if he's really wronged, why didn't he complain, but was willing to stay in a ghostly place like Azkaban for 12 years! What evidence do you have to prove that he is not a traitor?! "

"No, I just noticed something unreasonable..." Neil didn't expect Harry to be so emotional, and Neil was eager to explain.

"Enough, stop talking!" Harry covered his ears, his expression frantic, "I don't want to hear any more!" After finishing speaking, Harry rushed out of the classroom without looking back.

With a bang, the classroom door was slammed shut.

Looking at the empty classroom, Neil gave a wry smile.He hadn't expected Harry to be so emotional.I can't stand it without even hearing my own words...

This is the first time that Harry has lost his temper so much to himself...

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

Back in the dormitory, Neil lay on the bed, looking a little depressed.It never occurred to him that Harry would distrust himself, slam the door and leave without even listening to his own words.He knew that because of Black's affairs, Harry was very unhappy during this period of time.But is it because of this that he doesn't believe his own judgment at all... Even if he really wants to refute himself, he can wait until he has finished speaking. Why, he didn't even want to listen, so he hastily denied his guess !

During this period of time, Neil felt that everything was going wrong.Last night, his temptation to his father also failed...Looking at his father's never-before-seen pained expression, and not knowing what happened back then, Neil really didn't dare to ask any more questions, for fear of meeting his father. minefield...

He originally thought that Harry had always been the most supportive of him, so he wanted to discuss with Harry, to see if the two of them could find a way to find out what happened back then in private...

Thinking of this, Neil felt bitter in his mouth.He always thought that Harry was the person he trusted the most, and he always thought that the person Harry trusted the most was him, but he suddenly discovered that things didn't seem to be as he imagined... Panic... Neil pulled the quilt over the bed and covered his head...

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

Angrily, he rushed back to Gryffindor Tower, ignoring Ron's call, and Harry rushed directly into the bathroom.After splashing two handfuls of cold water on his face, Harry felt that his emotions had calmed down a little.

Harry, who had calmed down, looked slightly ashamed.He shouldn't have been so indiscriminately angry at Neil just now... It's just that when he thought of his closest friend, he somehow defended his number one enemy, and he felt angry...

Thinking of this, Harry felt a little regretful. Just now, he didn't listen carefully to Neil's analysis at all, but when he heard Neil speaking for Black, he became angry...Holding the sink with his hands, he hesitated for a while, haha Li still gave up the idea of ​​going to Neil to apologize right away... Right now, he is still in the rage stage, and as long as he thinks of Black, he can't calm down... Let it take a while, when he has adjusted his mood, Go find Neil again and have a good talk with him... Now, even if he meets Neil, he can't calm down and listen to his analysis without evidence...

Rubbing his half-wet hair, Harry cursed under his breath.Taking off his clothes and turning on the shower head, Harry took a step and walked into the bathroom...

☆, peace

"Hermione." When he came to the library with Draco, seeing that Hermione was already sitting in her old seat, Neil walked over to say hello as usual.Since the relationship between Draco and Harry eased up in the medical wing that day, Draco's relationship with the Gryffindor trio was not as taboo as before in front of Draconier.

"Neil." Hermione said.

Neil frowned.Why does Hermione's voice sound wrong?

As he got closer, Neil realized that Hermione's eyes were red, obviously she had just cried. "Hermione, what's going on?" Neil's expression darkened.

Hermione flinched slightly, and Neil sullenly, not only his appearance, but also his manner became very much like Professor Snape. "No, nothing." Hermione wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at Draco defensively, trying to avoid the topic.

"Granger, you can cry too?" Who knew, Draco pulled out his chair and sat down.His expression was a little surprised.

Hearing this, Hermione glared at Draco bitterly, and wanted to get up and leave.Neil quickly raised his hand, held Hermione down, and opened his mouth to explain. "Draco just wanted to show that he always thought you were strong, not like the kind of girl who likes to cry." After speaking, Neil gave Draco a flattering look.

Although he was a little angry, Neil offered to explain himself, but seeing Neil's begging eyes, Draco's heart softened.Thinking that Gryffindor couldn't understand human language, and he didn't need to be as knowledgeable as them, Draco proudly raised his head, expressing that he didn't care about Granger's offense to him.

After hearing Neal's words, Hermione gave Draco a suspicious look.Draco turned his head away in embarrassment, but didn't protest.Hermione's face looked a little better now, and she relaxed her body. Hermione no longer insisted on leaving.

Neil sat down next to Hermione's other side, and asked persistently. "Hermione, what's on your mind? Can you tell me?" Although he felt that it was not good to keep asking Hermione's privacy like this, but he saw that Draco had no intention of leaving, and he himself cared about Hermione very much. Neil took advantage of the opportunity to ask again.

On the other side, although Draco's head was turned away from Hermione, his ears were pricked up.He didn't know why he sat down, but Draco was inexplicably curious to see that Granger, who had always been so strong, was crying like an ordinary little girl.

Looking at Neil, whose eyes were full of concern, Hermione also felt a little empathy.She knew that not long ago, Neil and Harry also had a falling out because of Black.Originally, she wanted to find time to reconcile the two of them, but who knew, before she had time, she got into a stalemate with Harry and Ron again.As for Draco on the other side, Hermione was actually not as repulsive as she had shown just now.The relationship between the three of them and Malfoy had softened since the Quidditch match.Like Harry, she believes that no matter how bad a person is, he can follow his own heart and save his enemies in times of crisis.She had also been thinking of easing relations with Malfoy.It's just that the opportunity has never been found.Just now, she was only emotional for a moment, and after hearing Neil's explanation, she knew that she had misunderstood Malfoy again.

"I'm sorry, Malfoy, I was just too excited." Looking at the back of Draco's head, Hermione said apologetically.

Draco turned his head and looked straight into Hermione's red eyes.Slightly smirking, Draco nodded reservedly: "I forgive you for inadvertently offending me."

Hermione's mouth twitched slightly.She seemed to suddenly realize that Malfoy wasn't targeting them all the time, but the way he spoke was a little strange?

"Hermione?" Seeing that Hermione hadn't answered his question and was in a daze, Neil urged.

Hermione blew her nose before speaking. "Ron's Scabbers is gone, he insisted that my Crookshanks ate his Scabbers, and he and Harry ignored me because of that." Thinking of this, Hermione no longer cared about Della beside her. Ke, vomited out all the problems he encountered. "Neil, you know, Crookshanks is so smart, how could it eat mice?" Hermione looked at Neil expectantly, wanting to get approval.

"Hermione, can you tell me about the situation that day?" Neil didn't answer Hermione directly.Crookshanks, he has been in contact with it a few times, it is a very smart cat, it does not look like the kind of cat that has no IQ and only greedy to eat everything.However, he still needs to know the details of the matter before he can make a judgment.

"That day, Harry got his Firebolt back, and he wanted to make up with me." Hesitantly glanced at Draco on the other side, Hermione didn't hide anything, and said in detail.Hermione felt that Draco should know about Harry getting the Firebolt, after all, Malford's broom was also damaged in the process of rescuing Harry.Sure enough, Draco's face changed when he heard that Harry got a Firebolt. "As a result, at this time, Ron took a bed sheet from the dormitory and rushed out. There were some red blood stains on the bed sheet and a few ginger cat hairs. Ron took it as evidence and identified Scabbers. It was eaten by Crookshanks." Hermione looked a little excited at this point, "But, how is this possible?! Crookshanks is usually such a picky eater, he doesn't even eat the fish I prepared for him except cat food." He doesn't eat much, how could he eat Ron's old and ugly mouse! Scabbers has been in Ron's house for more than ten years, how could Crookshanks eat such an old mouse! Ron Just hating Crookshanks for hitting him in the face at the zoo!"

Hearing this, Draco's face twisted weirdly, obviously imagining the funny look of Weasley being hit in the face by cat fart and ass.But Neil's expression has become extremely serious.

"You said," Neil said softly, "Banban has lived in Ron's house for more than ten years?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Hermione nodded in confusion, and looked at Neil suspiciously.

And hearing Neil's words, Draco also realized something was wrong.He restrained the smile on his face, and his expression also became serious. "It's against common sense how a mouse can live that long. Unless—"

"Unless—" Neil continued, "it's not a real mouse, but an Animagus."

"Ah!" Hermione whispered, and she finally remembered what she had overlooked. "No wonder, I always feel that there is something wrong there! The witch in the Wonderful Zoo said that mice cannot live for more than three years!" At this point, fear flashed in Hermione's eyes, and he grabbed Neil's arm. "Who the hell is that Scabbers?" My God, the Weasley family has lived with an Animagus with ulterior motives for more than ten years!This is simply too scary! "No, I'm going to tell Ron about this!"

Neil grabbed Hermione's arm. "Calm down, Hermione. Ron just lost his pet, and he's in a rage now, and he won't believe it. He'll just think you're trying to shirk your own responsibilities, and he'll only get angrier about it."

After hearing Neil's words, Hermione sat down in frustration.yes!Without evidence, Ron would only feel that he was slandering... "What should I do then?" Hermione looked at Neal asking for help, and suddenly knowing such terrible news, Hermione's heart was completely confused.

Draco also looked a little wrong.Suddenly being told that a dangerous person might be near him, Draco, who had just suffered an accident for a short time, only felt a little creepy.He pursed his lips hard, trying to hide his nervousness.He didn't want to show his worry and fear in front of Granger and Neil.

Neil was silent.His mind was racing fast.

"Neil, why don't we tell the professor?"

"Not for now." Neil shook his head, denying Hermione's suggestion. "Hermione, think about it, it's been so long since Black escaped from prison, and there's no further news. Scabbers has escaped now, and even if we tell the professor that Scabbers is an Animagus, it's useless Don’t you? If the professors believe it or not, I’ll say it again, but if Scabbers runs away completely, it’s not worth the loss.” After speaking, Neilton paused, “Hermione, I have some clues, but I My mind is a bit messed up, I need to think about it. Look, do we want to tell others about this, let me think about it, and see you in the library tomorrow, okay?" Neil needs to think about things carefully Pros and cons, he didn't want to let Hermione or even Draco know what he was guessing before he thought about it clearly.

Although she didn't know what Neil was thinking about, Hermione nodded understandingly.Even if Banban is a bad person, he has lived in the Weasleys' family for more than ten years. Since he has never done anything bad, it is not bad today.

"By the way!" Hermione suddenly thought of a big event, "Neil, why don't we meet the day after tomorrow? Tomorrow is the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. I want to cheer for Harry... ..." Speaking of the latter, Hermione's voice was low.

Draco also nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Hermione's point of view.

Neil rolled his eyes inwardly. This group of people are all Quidditch fanatics. On Quidditch, even bad guys and even criminals can stand aside.

"Okay." Neil nodded resignedly. He just had more time, and he could also spend more time to organize his thoughts.

Seeing Gryffin's tear-stained face, Draco frowned slightly.He took out a delicate handkerchief scented with roses from his pocket and handed it to Granger. "You wipe your face." Turning his head slightly away, Draco said uncomfortably.

Hermione took the handkerchief shyly.After she calmed down, she realized how embarrassing she was crying just now.Wiping the tears from her face, Hermione made up her mind. "If you want, you can call me Hermione." This calm conversation made Hermione realize more deeply that Malfoy is really completely different from what she used to know.Then, I shouldn't reject him like before.

"Then, in return, I will also give you the right to call me Draco, Hermione." Although Hermione is a Muggleborn, but for the sake of her excellence, Draco told himself this in his heart.Moreover, Draco knew very well in his heart that his views on Muggles had also changed now, so he would not reject the clever witch in front of him just because of his blood as before.

Hermione let out a 'poof' laugh.Seeing Draco's bewildered face and Neil's slightly curled mouth, Hermione quickly explained, "I just feel better suddenly..." Seeing Draco being perfunctory by herself, Hermione couldn't stop being happy. ...

The way Draco talks, it's so funny...

☆、Discussion

In the Quidditch match, Gryffindor undisputedly won Ravenclaw. However, early the next morning, Neil heard the news that Black broke into the Gryffindor tower last night.Neil pursed his lips tightly, and Neil had an extremely serious expression. Early on, he took Draco to the library, waiting for Hermione's arrival.

Hearing the news of Black's invasion, Draco was also a little panicked.Many things that have happened in the past year have made Draco feel so weak, just like now, if he really meets Black, although he is reluctant to admit it, in fact, he probably has no way to fight back force.And all of this, he couldn't tell anyone.Back home for Christmas, Draco seriously browsed through the books in his home library for the first time.Without telling others, he found two books on the introduction to black magic, and planned to start learning secretly.He didn't want to tell his father because he hoped to surprise his father during the summer vacation.After all, he stayed in school this semester, even if he told Lucius in advance, he couldn't teach himself.He also thought about whether he should take Neil with him.But thinking that Neil's current magic power is even difficult to cope with the content in class, Draco also gave up this idea.

In fact, Draco was well aware of Neil's situation in Slytherin now.He also understood that if Neil wasn't the headmaster's son, his situation in Slytherin would be a thousand times more difficult than it is now.Once, he also hesitated whether his friendship with Neil should continue. However, after all, Neil was the first friend he wanted to protect as his younger brother. He was sincere and regarded Neil as a friend.Moreover, the main purpose of the dean bringing Neil to his home is to make Neil
