Chapter 45 The Right Way to Give Gifts

The incident made Hermione completely forget about Lockhart.In fact, until they got off the Hogwarts Express home from Christmas, she treated Harry so warmly that Ron joked, slightly sour, that she was going to be Colin Even Creevey Second didn't irritate her.It was only after this that Harry realized that even if a girl doesn't pay much attention to dressing up, being beautiful is still what they want in their hearts.

Also because of Harry's request, this matter only spread in a small area.He himself thinks that this is an extremely simple spell, which can be done with little effort, and of course he will not notice some other subtle reactions.Of course, we're referring here to a secretly sad Ginny, who thinks Harry must like Hermione.

It's just that neither of the two parties noticed this for the time being.Hermione went home happily, promising Harry a big enough Christmas present.And Harry went to 12 Grimmauld Place again, and was surprised to find that it had completely changed inside.Gone are the rows of house-elf heads on the porch, and the inside has been refreshed.

Sirius' explanation for this was that Kreacher suddenly became hardworking, and he didn't stop him.And once the house-elves stopped bickering with him, he was slow to realize that it would be nice to have a hardworking servant in the house.

Harry is happy that they have reached a settlement.Although he knew that Kreacher probably had other plans—for example, by currying favor with Sirius to gain his favor in a roundabout way—but this would at least prevent Kreacher from selling out his master again, and it would also slightly guarantee that Sirius safety.

In order to ensure this, Harry found a time and quietly reached an agreement with Kreacher.He promised to destroy the real locket and help Kreacher retrieve Regulus's; Kreacher would take good care of Sirius and keep it a secret from everyone else.Harry believed that, given Kreacher's loyalty to Regulus, this matter must be foolproof.

Voldemort scoffed at Harry's approach.In his eyes, house elves are not human at all, and he couldn't think of exchanging terms with house elves.But he had no say in the matter, and it was because of his contempt that a real locket of Horcruxes appeared on a house-elf's dirty cabinet.So he just grunted and said nothing.

Harry had now learned to ignore some of Voldemort's reactions.He couldn't talk to a Slytherin all the time, especially when the Slytherin basically stayed with him all the time.He is deeply aware of this now, and he has implemented it well-since he had to get along with Voldemort day and night, the fastest improvement is not magic, but patience.

Sirius was unaware of this dark tide.In fact, after giving Harry a new broom for Christmas and spending a merry Christmas with Harry Lupine, his New Year's plan to take Harry to a Muggle playground had to be put on hold up. "Sorry, Harry, I think there's something I have to take care of," he said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Harry was a little puzzled at first, but when he thought of Lupine who suddenly disappeared, he felt that he could understand it completely.The night of the full moon is coming... "It's okay, I don't really like amusement parks very much." But his statement is completely nonsense, because he has never actually been to the playground.

Sirius felt even more guilty when he saw that his words were wrong.And he thought Harry didn't know that Lupine was a werewolf, so he was very grateful for Harry's not asking. "I'll try to get back before you go back to school," he promised, "if I can't, I'll ask Arthur to pick you up."

It would be perfectly fine for him to go to King's Cross himself, Harry thought, but he wasn't against the idea either. "Okay, I know."

Sirius couldn't hold back and asked Harry a lot of things, and finally left very worried.And Harry stayed in his room to take care of the new broom, and Kreacher brought him dinner. He couldn't help but feel that life was much easier than the Dursleys'. Sirius could take care of Lupine at ease.

Probably because he had nothing to worry about recently, Harry suffered from insomnia on the eve of New Year's Eve.Because Sirius was away, he climbed into bed after eating and taking a bath, but he was still awake until three hours later.In the end, he simply got up and sat on the bed, staring at the cold moonlight coming in from the window in a daze.There was snow outside, and the reflected light seemed even brighter.There was ice on the glass and it was shining, and something was shining on the windowsill—

Harry's eyes widened.Isn't that the light of the ring?Where did Voldemort go and what did he do?He believed that if Voldemort was awake, he would definitely be able to perceive his thoughts, but the other party did not respond.He sat for a while, but finally couldn't hold back, stood up and walked over.Then he tried to see through the icy windows, but found nothing. "What are you doing?" He couldn't help asking, "Do you think this is more comfortable than the bedside table?"

But Voldemort still ignored him.Harry stared at the ring for a while, wondering if it was because he was ignored or for some other reason.Then he remembered that Voldemort, who used to not laugh at him every day, seemed to have nothing to say in the past month, and he didn't even say a word today.

Could it be that a ring was changed, and the power was overdrawn, right?Harry thought wildly.Thinking about the time, it seems to be really right.Or in other words, this is another new dormant period. When Voldemort makes another move next time, he will not only be able to conjure a few filaments?

But Voldemort remained unresponsive to these thoughts.The situation made Harry uncomfortable.He stared at the ring a few more times, thinking that Voldemort must have fallen asleep, and couldn't help thinking that he was so bored.A gust of cold wind blew, and he shivered shiveringly, only to realize that there was a crack in the window, and he was still stepping on the carpet with bare feet.

This made Harry decide to go back to the bed and lie down, and he wanted to put the ring back as well.But before his finger touched the ring, the untouched ring suddenly rolled over and hid.

It was obvious that Voldemort wasn't asleep at all. "What's the matter with you?" Harry asked angrily, "Or do you want to tell me that you just rolled over in your sleep?"

Voldemort did not answer his words. "I just think it's time for you to go back to your bed."

Harry had really intended to do so, but hearing Voldemort's words made him lose his temper somehow. "Can't I have insomnia?"

"Gryffindor lions also suffer from insomnia?" Voldemort asked rhetorically, this time with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

This reaction seemed much more normal to Harry.Voldemort's first sentence just now... how should I put it, it sounds like something is wrong? "What does insomnia have to do with being a Gryffindor?" he retorted, before casting another suspicious glance at the ring. "No, don't you also suffer from insomnia? Why did the topic turn to me? You must be planning something you don't want to tell me?"

There is progress, Voldemort said in his heart, at least now he can hear him changing the subject.But he didn't want to say the reason why he couldn't fall asleep, so he only answered the last sentence decisively. "I thought we were tacit about it—isn't there something you don't want to tell me?"

Harry was stumped by the question.If it was a first year, he could still confidently say that it was his personal privacy, but he did have something that he should have told Voldemort but didn't tell Voldemort. "You know?" he stammered, his ears a little red. "I... I just..."

Voldemort originally just mentioned it casually, but Harry's reaction, no matter how you look at it, seems like he really hit the mark by accident-if Harry and he thought it was going in the same direction, it would not be such a strange reaction at all.This made him temporarily withdraw those old thoughts of displeasure, and turned to seriously look at the savior who behaved abnormally. "Sounds like you've got a surprise gift for me," he said affirmatively, while racing through all the possibilities.

From the tone of his voice, Harry knew he had just sold himself.In vain, he thought he didn't need to say that kind of request this time, but he didn't expect to say it anyway?This emotion made him very frustrated. "No, nothing happened." He denied it flatly, thinking that if he had known this, he might as well have been acting stupid until the end of the next semester.But...a gift?Is Christmas over?

It's just that since this incident started, Voldemort would not let Harry easily fool him.Based on his knowledge of Harry's recent situation, he quickly ruled out several possibilities, and finally focused on Harry's abnormal behavior before he came to Black's house during the summer vacation.He just thought it was a little weird at the time, because it didn't seem like something Harry would do-you know Harry's bias at his aunt's house and godfather's house is absolutely obvious-but at the time he was absent-minded. look.If this is indeed the case, it means that the thing that made Harry difficult has happened before this.

"Reaper," said Voldemort at last. "What did he say?"

The deduction made Harry freeze as he walked back to the four-poster bed.He accidentally missed a few words!How could it be guessed!

Seeing his reaction, Voldemort was even more certain. "Is it related to the conditions of this year? I think he can't let go of an opportunity so easily."

Harry couldn't take it anymore.He gave himself a few breaths in his heart, then turned around, trying to say the matter in a nonchalant tone.He knew very well that if he didn't make it clear now, he would definitely be in trouble for the next six months.Rather than having Voldemort find out the truth from one of his omissions, it would be better for him to say it outright - and he didn't ask for it!

"Reaper's point of view is that we took advantage of the loophole last time. So his warning is that at least a real kiss is required this time." Harry finished speaking bravely, feeling that if Voldemort was in human form, the interested eyes would definitely put him It was seen through.

In fact, Voldemort himself thought so.He was actually very satisfied with this request. You must know that although Harry had always regarded him as an object, as the Horcrux was withdrawn and its strength recovered, it became more sensitive to the outside world.So when Harry took him without knowing it, it just made him want to die, in some unspeakable sense.After he realizes this, he is more willing to act on his own.It sounds like a godsend...

Voldemort's silence was taken by Harry as shocked as he had been when he first found out.On the one hand he felt that this was to be expected, but on the other hand he felt that there was some other kind of depression which he did not know why. "That's it, I'm done."

Voldemort was keenly aware that he was not in high spirits.What hit it?Isn't the normal reaction of a messiah to be furious?This discovery made him feel more novel than the request of the god of death. "You have been troubled by this matter for half a year?" He said slowly, "I thought there would be something more challenging."

Harry didn't catch the tentativeness in Voldemort's words.This only reminded him of his previous speculation that Voldemort had no lovers, but he might have many lovers. "I knew that was your reaction." He said dryly, determined to end the topic.The other party didn't seem to feel anything at all, but it made him think too much.He was about to walk back, but he felt a golden light flash from the corner of his eyes, and then something seemed to touch his lips.

"You—!" Harry was taken aback.What was that thing just now?don't tell him it's...

"You're done, but I'm not done yet." Voldemort tried to keep his voice from smiling.He saw a tendency in Harry's subconscious, but Harry himself might not have been aware of it. "Get yourself fatter, I can't eat it if I'm too thin."

Even if Harry was dull, he was completely back to his senses at this moment.Not only did Voldemort find him making too much of a fuss, but he also used this gesture to laugh at him!And these words are just deliberately teasing him!His depression just now was swept away, replaced by anger. "I should say that! I'm not interested in a ring! Diary too!" He almost growled.

Harry was getting angry, he was trying to convey that he wasn't interested in the Dark Lord at all, and didn't realize there was a loophole in that statement. "I know," Voldemort said plainly, "I wouldn't be interested in it."

It seems right, but why is it so strange when the other party said it?Harry didn't expect Voldemort to answer like this, and he was stuck in a breath.Then he realized slowly that when he said he was not interested in objects, he was interested in people instead? "That's not what I meant..." He tried to get his footing back.

"Oh? What do you think I mean?" Voldemort said calmly.

"Of course you are..." Harry was about to say that Voldemort must be narcissistic, but in the middle of speaking, he suddenly realized that he was now being led by the nose.He blushed for a moment, and flung himself on the bed angrily.He figured it out, the other party did it deliberately, he really is a fool!

Seeing his reaction, Voldemort couldn't hold back anymore, and burst out laughing.
