Savior? No!I just want to stay home

The first two periods in the afternoon were Potions.Harry finished brewing his own potion seriously, and after successfully adding 5 points to Slytherin, he helped to clean up the classroom after class, and at the suggestion of Slughorn, he will use it for the next class. The teaching aids are put in place.

"Oh~Harry, I haven't expressed my thanks to you yet~" Slughorn watched as Harry carefully placed his tongs on the teacher's operating table—the position is impartial, the most important thing to operate. Wherever it came, he chatted with Harry in his customary, cheerful tone. "The snacks you gave me are really delicious, and the quantity is so... rich. Their appearance makes me have to spare a little time to cook a weight-loss potion for myself, otherwise it..." He He reached out and touched his iconic big belly, "It will affect my work-you know, if the belly is too big, it will block the view and prevent you from seeing the items on the operating table..." He smiled mischievously, "Of course , I don't mean to blame you, you can't just cancel my little weekly benefits~"

"Of course not." Harry smiled brightly and joked with Slughorn as well. "Let's not say that I will send a snack with the same content to Albus every week, even for it..." He looked at the other's round belly, "No. It seems that you really like this Image, right?" Otherwise, a potion would turn him into a standard figure. "Of course, I also think it's good, it looks good to touch~"

"Oh, Harry~" Slughorn made a deliberately "little scared" expression, "Thank you for your liking! But I dare not let you touch it~ I sincerely hope that Lucius will not For this reason, he poisoned the mead he gave me." Then, he blinked his protruding eyes, and said in a gentle tone: "Speaking of Lucius, that kid really likes you very much. I teach you I have lived through three Malfoys including Lucius, for decades, this is the first time I have seen the existence of 'warmth' in their beautiful gray-blue eyes - only in those eyes When looking at you. It really makes people feel extremely happy, doesn't it?" After a pause, he added with a smile: "Even a bad old man like me can feel it."

Harry admitted that although the savior didn't like this cunning fat old man, from Slytherin's point of view, this potion master with a little special habit really knew how to make the other party feel happy during the conversation.

"Yes, very happy." Thinking of the way his lover looked at him, the expression on Harry's face became gentle, his green eyes slightly curved, and the corners of his mouth hooked up, showing a beautiful smile.

After laughing, he continued the topic about dim sum.

"Speaking of those snacks, Professor, you should thank Albus even more. He talked about you in the chat with me before, and I realized that I had ignored you for so long—you won't blame me, right?" Then he deliberately puffed up his face and complained: "For a little food, Albus actually used the principal's privilege~ Do you think he looks like the 'greatest white wizard of this century'? Anyway, he does one and two, So I asked my house-elf to make some extra for you." Shrugged.

Slughorn was taken aback by Harry's different smile, and it took him a second to react.

"Oh, Harry, you can't laugh like that when there's a lot of people, it's going to be a mess!" he said, half teasing, half serious.

"Albus really loves snacks, especially desserts..." Thinking of some special hobbies of his old friend, he couldn't help shaking his walrus-like gray beard, "Although it's a bit old for him to treat you like this Disrespectful, but it shows that he really sees you as a friend—as an equal. As one of his few deep friends, I must say, that's rare."

He exchanged a knowing glance with Harry.Then it says:

"Ah, of course I will thank him. After all, under his suggestion, I have gained such a delicious enjoyment. Perhaps, a long-term, regular supply of dental medicine?"

"Pfft~haha~" Harry laughed out loud. "Professor you are really...well, Albus will thank you."

"Gifts should be on point," Slughorn said cheerfully.

"Maybe, the smell of mud is a good choice?" Harry suggested viciously. "It's almost time for the next class, so I'll take my leave first. It's a pleasure chatting with you, Professor!"

"I'm very happy, too, Harry! Let's go together, before the next class starts, I have to have a small cup of black tea with fresh cream, and go with your delicious snacks~"

Harry picked up his schoolbag, holding a few books borrowed from the library a few days ago, and just walked out of the classroom door with Slughorn, when he met Sirius and Severus who came to class— —The next period is the first grade class, so he smiled and said hello.

"Hey, Sirius, Severus, you're here early!"

"Harry?" Severus greeted Slughorn first, then looked at the book in Harry's hand, "To the library?"

"Yes, return the book." After Harry finished speaking, he was about to leave when he was stopped again.

"Wait a minute, what about after returning the book?"

"Borrow a few more." Harry was a little confused, "Oh, yes, I'm going to finish a few papers assigned by the professor in the library recently. Just tell Lucius for me, I'll be in the next room for dinner It will be settled in the classroom, instead of going to the hall, if he is finished, he can come to me, or I will go back before the curfew."

"..."

really!Severus Blackline.Just now when Sirius said that Harry would not participate in tonight's event, he still didn't believe it. He felt that he was also a chief after all, so he shouldn't do such an irresponsible thing.

"What?" Harry tilted his head, his big green eyes blinking.Why are you staring at him like that~

"Oh, Harry~ that's not okay!"

Sgrahorn, who had walked a few steps, heard the conversation between the two, and turned around with a smile:

"How can you leave Lucius alone on such a day? You know, even though that kid is thinking of you wholeheartedly, he is still very popular in school!"

"Lucius has been officially involved in family affairs since this year, so he is usually very busy." Although he felt that the other party had taught three Malfoys, it was impossible for him not to know this, but Harry still explained patiently.

"I understand, of course!" Sgraghorn nodded. "But not today! You don't know what day it is, do you?"

"Halloween, I saw the jack-o-lanterns in the hall."

His eyes are normal, and he doesn't really care about anything.That's why he decided not to eat in the hall tonight—if he had a choice, he didn't want to put those blood-like, brain-like, and visceral-like foods in his mouth no matter how delicious they were.

"The masquerade after the Halloween dinner is one of Slytherin's annual traditions." After confirming that Harry was really unclear, Slughorn kindly gave Harry the answer.

"Masquerade... prom?" How could he not know?Did you have it last year?Uh... Looks like he spent the night in the library last year too... Ah, no wonder the little snakes looked so excited on Halloween last year...

"Because it's a tradition, no one has specifically emphasized it. Maybe that's why you don't know it." Slughorn continued to explain. "Then, now you know, I wish you a good night!" After saying this, he walked away quickly without looking back, and took the time to go on a date with his favorite delicious food.

[But Lucius didn't mention it either...] Harry was puzzled in his heart, and it showed it unconsciously on his face.

"Lucius is too used to you." Severus guessed what Harry was wondering, and gave him a blank look.Of course he discovered Harry's dislike for Halloween, so the non-prom must have been the result of Lucius' connivance!

Sirius, who hadn't spoken the whole time, jumped in between the two, ignoring Severus' glaring gaze, and insisted on putting a hand on the other's shoulder ("This is how you can show the intimacy of a good buddy"— —James), answered:

"That's right ~ Sissy told me that although Lucius participated in the Halloween ball last year, he rejected everyone's invitations and didn't dance a single dance! Except for some necessary chatting and socializing, he spent the rest of the time in the corner sat alone all night!"

After nearly two months of observation and understanding, Sirius and James were completely convinced by Lucius - before they always felt that he was not good enough for Harry.In their eyes before, Harry was pure, beautiful, wise, and powerful, and of course he deserved better—although they couldn't tell what better was like... But now, the two felt that although Lucius He is too arrogant, indifferent and supercilious, uses his nostrils to people every day and speaks with thorns... But at least, he is sincere to Harry-he really puts all his heart in Harry body.He is obviously such a proud person, a young master who stretches out his hands for clothes and opens his mouth for food, but he can hold a person on the tip of his heart, being thoughtful and careful in everything.If it were him... Sirius thought he would never be able to do it, probably not even James who was desperately pursuing Lily.

'If Harry suddenly disappeared, Lucius would be a soulless shell if not dead.Such passionate feelings... No wonder Harry was tempted! James said to Sirius with emotion not long ago, "Sure enough, what Malfoy wants, Malfoy will get it." '

Lucius isn't as hot and flamboyant as James is with Lily, but in a way, he's more than that: his affection is invisible, yet ubiquitous.Sometimes, when Sirius accidentally met the eyes Lucius looked at Harry, he would suddenly feel breathless—James and Lily said they would feel the same way—such strong, deep, overwhelming emotions that even they These "outsiders" couldn't help feeling startled.So, they feel deeply, Lucius, is this really a love with life?The people of the Malfoy family... are really scary!

It was only after entering the Snake Court that Sirius realized how wrong his previous point of view was: Slytherins are not without feelings, on the contrary, they understand feelings better than anyone else, but they don't give easily.

So, looking at the shocked Harry, Sirius decided to add more fire, thinking in his heart that it would be compensation for his previous bad attitude towards Lucius.

"He's watching over you, Harry. Behavior and spirit! I can't believe this is happening in such an age! And," he paused, he continued: "He didn't even want to reveal it to you so that you wouldn't feel pressured."

"Sissy said you didn't like Halloween when she was getting the costumes for me and Severus, so you weren't counted. How do you think she knew?—Lucius, of course! You don't He liked it, so he didn’t say anything, and even took the initiative to cut off all the channels through which you might get news about the masquerade, preferring to stay alone like a fool.”

Speaking of this, Sirius suddenly felt a chill on his back, and when he turned his head, Severus was staring at him with a dark face.

No wonder he suddenly said that Harry would not attend today's dance, so it turned out that he dared to use him as a trick!Severus glared.

"Oh, Severus, don't stare at me, don't you think it's completely unnecessary for Lucius to do this? It will spoil Harry! Besides, aren't you Lucius' good friend? You have to It's a knife in both sides~" He mischievously made a "go forward bravely" action. "And I've observed it for the past few days. Harry really doesn't like Halloween, but he doesn't hate it, right?" He looked at Harry with certainty.

After listening to Sirius' explanation, Severus remained silent, silently expressing his attitude.

Even with this level of "dislike", Lucius will try his best to avoid it from appearing on Harry, so he is really too used to Harry!This was the conclusion of all the little snakes including Sirius and Severus.Although Harry is indeed very good, but let their prince of Slytherin do such a thing, the person involved wandered around all day without any response to this, so the short-term snakes couldn't see it!

"Ah..." Harry uttered an unclear syllable with a stiff expression, then suddenly came back to his senses as if frightened, and said, "I'll return the book!" Then he ran away like a fly.The speed was so fast that even James and Lily, who had just rushed over, greeted him without seeing him, and of course missed the first meeting with Lupine and Peter.

"What's wrong with Harry? He's in a hurry." James pulled Lily and the others to sit down next to Sirius, and asked his good buddy.

"Get ready." Sirius, who had succeeded in his plan, showed his shiny white teeth and grinned, "Didn't I invite you and Lily to the Slytherin Masquerade? You should know."

"That's it!" James nodded in understanding - if the dance partner was Lucius' peacock that was shining with golden light, Harry should be well prepared.Then, he turned his head and explained the situation of the masquerade to his other two friends except Lily.

Harry hurried to the library, greeted Mrs. Pince, returned the book in his hand, and left without stopping for a second.

He doesn't know, he doesn't know anything!Well, of course he wouldn't waste too much emotion on things he didn't know, but since he knew everything now, he had to do something!

Lucius...

Harry silently read his lover's name, feeling warm in his heart.That fool who obviously looks like he should be very smart...

Thinking back to what Sirius said just now, and thinking about what I have been doing all the time - no wonder Lucius was angry at the beginning of school night, people like me who only know how to take but don't know how to give are really annoying!While running fast, he condemned himself several times in his heart, and then began to think about the goals he wanted to achieve later and the related attire he needed to prepare.Before reaching the door of his dormitory, the corner of Harry's mouth curled up and he smiled softly.

"Lucius, my love! Everything you have done has successfully made me really serious. I hope your ability to adapt is good enough-tonight, you will never try to escape again!"
