[HP] Once upon a time

④ Thank you for having the "Harry Potter Encyclopedia" at hand!Let me find the source easily! Eric Munch, who first appeared in Chapter 7 of Book Five, is a security wizard at the Ministry of Magic security checkpoint.

Many of the soy sauce wizards that pop up in this article are original characters.

⑤ In fact, Part VII tells us that Lucius's wand is made of elm, with a core of dragon nerve, and at 18 inches (dimensions given by Pottermore), it is probably the longest wand in the whole wizarding world.Lucius used a new wand after the Battle of Hogwarts, the exact circumstances are unknown.The ones in this article are privately set up by the original author of the same person.

In addition, the PM said that Lucius is very good at potions...

Going through it again, I saw the information of the Malfoy family when I was looking for the information of Lucius' wand. Rowling assumed that they came to England with William the Conqueror and were part of the Norman army.Then William I (William the Conqueror) gave them a piece of land in Wiltshire, where they lived for 10 centuries.Malfoys have been smooth since their ancestor Armand. They have always respected pure blood and considered wizards superior to others, but they have always catered to non-magical societies out of interest considerations, and there have always been rumors that they have been involved in Muggle finance and industry.For hundreds of years the Malfoys have been trying to annex nearby Muggle lands, maintain good relations with the royal family, and collect Muggle treasures and art.Historically, the Malfoy family was active in the Muggle upper class. It is said that they were strong opponents of the Secrecy Act, because after the Secrecy Act was passed, they had to withdraw from this pleasant social circle.There is plenty of evidence that the first Lucius of the family (not the current one) proposed to Elizabeth I (cut off by the Doctor, of course).However, after the passage of the Secrecy Act, in order not to distance themselves from the Ministry of Magic, the new center of power, they changed their attitude sharply, denying that they had ever communicated with Muggles.After the Statute of Secrecy was passed, no Malfoy has ever intermarried with Muggles or Muggle-born wizards, but there are many mixed-bloods in Malfoy's family tree, in order to avoid the danger of intermarrying only a few pure-blood families.

⑥In fact, Hermione'smother is the same as the ancient one...but to distinguish it, I used the mother in the ancient one, and the mother in the modern one.There is also Mrs.Granger. Normally, I would translate it as Mrs. Granger, but Lady Granger in ancient times has been translated as Mrs. So in order to distinguish, the modern version refers to the original translation of "Mrs. Weasley". Translated as Mrs. Granger.

⑦ This spell does not exist in the original work.

cruor, cruoris-blood; bloodshed; gore; astream of blood

It should mean bleeding... However, the effect of the spell seems to be different from Harry's. I didn't notice that Harry was bleeding! QAQ didn't see him stop the bleeding either!

A similar spell with the same effect is Crucio, Cruciatus, but using the Unforgivable Curse on an Auror in broad daylight... well, I'll flip cruoris.

☆、28 Before going back (completed)

The room was eerily silent.To Harry, time seemed to stand still - days might have passed without him noticing.

"What?" he said finally, staring at Draco blankly.

"We were married on October 1486, 10." Draco met Harry's eyes firmly.

"Are you married? With, with Hermione? But, but why? How, how? I don't understand...why would you, why would Hermione... no, you must be joking. Now Malfoy, you It's time to play enough, what happened?" Harry said incoherently, looking at each other.

"It's true what I said, Potter. It's all true."

"How did she marry you?" Harry still looked shocked, slightly disgusted.Usually he only showed this expression when he received terrible news.

"She married me because she loved me."

Harry shuddered: "Huh, sorry...this is really...not at all...not...Hermione."

"Then I guess you don't know your best friend as well as you think you do." Draco shrugged. "Now, more importantly...don't you want to know why I think she's in danger?"

Harry forced himself to focus on the problem before him, leaving only one small corner of his mind angry at the news Malfoy had brought.

"Go on," said Harry, "I'll just take your word for marriage."

"What I told Mrs. Granger was true... Hermione went back to ancient times and became the eldest lady of the rich Lord Granger's manor, and I was a servant in that manor. It didn't take long before we found Opportunity met. We both found that brewing the antidote to the Thyme Scammer was the only way back to modern times."

"Wait, Lord Granger's manor?" Harry frowned. "Are they her ancestors or something? Besides, you just suddenly appeared in ancient times. Didn't anyone find you out of place?"

"Yeah, we didn't understand why everyone accepted us at first, until we finally found out why."

"Why?" Harry asked, not really interested.

"We replaced the real Draco and Hermione. They're just like us, they talk the same way, they act the same way...so no one notices the difference."

"How is this possible? After you replaced them, where did they go?"

Draco looked at Harry with a sneer: "This part is probably more unbelievable to you than Hermione marrying me... They went back to the fairies. Wait." Draco held up a hand to stop Harry interrupt him.Harry's eyes behind his glasses were as wide as saucers. "Listen. The original Draco and Hermione died at birth. The fairy replaced them with replacements, as if preparing for us to go back to take their place one day. They seem to know that one day, There will be an accident in the Potions NEWT exam, and Hermione and I will be blown back to the past. They created a place for us to live in, and when we do go back in time, the replacement just disappears and returns to the fairies."

"Pixie dust in potions," Harry murmured, beginning to believe Draco.

"What?" Draco was taken aback.

"Dumbledore sent Hermione's potion to the Ministry of Magic for testing. They found fairy dust in the potion."

Draco wasn't too surprised: "Then you trust me now?"

"Go ahead...then what happened?"

"Hermione and I were caught sneaking out one night, and her parents were furious. Her father immediately arranged a marriage for her to a Baron Burner of Lancaster, and took a hard line against it. I'll show up again."

"What did you sneak out with Hermione at night?" Harry asked.

"What do you say, Potter?"

Harry closed his eyes: "Okay, okay...you go on. How did you end up marrying her with this Baron in the way?"

"Her mother, Mrs. Granger, helped us. Apparently, she always knew Hermione was a substitute, and she believed that only true love could save her pagan soul and bring her back to God. She thought Hermione was the same as I fell in love and let her touch the holy water... Hermione didn't get burned by the holy water like the replacement in the past, so Mrs. Catherine believed that Hermione was really in love with me. She asked me if I loved Hermione, and I admitted it , she asked me if I would marry her daughter, and I did."

"So, Hermione married you to avoid marrying Baron Bernard?" Harry asked bluntly, "A familiar devil is better than an unfamiliar one.②"

"You still don't get it, Potter?" Draco whispered angrily. "Even if nothing happened, I would marry Hermione in modern times. Mrs. Granger is willing to help us get married." Before, I promised her that I would give up my engagement with Brace. So remember...the only reason we got married in ancient times was because we both wanted to get married, we were in love, and we didn't want to be separated for any reason."

"In love? In love?" said Harry. "You say you love Hermione, but you hardly know what she is! You hated her for seven years and played with her for seven years! Why do you think you love her?" ?”

Draco flinched at Harry's blunt words.He averts his gaze.

"Answer me, Malfoy," Harry ordered.

"You know how stubborn Hermione is... She thinks she can save the world by herself. Typical Gryffindor. I think she stays in the past and takes care of her family. I know that Baron is very unhappy with her and her family , so she is very dangerous. She doesn't want me to be in danger, so send me back first..."

"Malfoy, you haven't answered me yet," Harry insisted.

"I know I love her, Potter, because all I can think about now is... how to go back and save her. Even if I die on the way to save her, I'm not afraid. I must save her."

"You want to go back, Malfoy?" Harry was genuinely surprised.

"I know something is wrong with her. I can feel it," Draco said anxiously. "I have to go back and help her."

"How do you know she won't show up in a few days?"

"I can't explain it. It doesn't feel like it would be that simple... We should have come back together and nothing else would have happened," Draco said. "Potter, we all want Hermione back the same... That's why I need your help." cause. I have told you everything, can you help me?"

Harry looked at Draco for a moment.Emerald eyes stared into gray eyes.

"Okay," said Harry at last, "how can I help you?"

"Come with me to Dumbledore," Draco said quickly. "Say something nice for me, I've been a jerk before, but now I really need his help."

***************************************

"I'll find a way to get you into the British Library in London." Dumbledore said to Harry and Draco, "it won't be easy, but I know it will be helpful for Draco...and Harry How important. I also hope that Miss Granger can come back as soon as possible. But remember, changing history is a very risky thing. For the sake of everyone, you must find out what happened before you rashly bring her back."

He stared at the two boys in front of him over his glasses. "Miss Granger is a very clever witch. If she stayed in the past, it must be because she had very important reasons for doing so."

"Professor Dumbledore, please tell me," said Harry, "are you sure we'd better start with the library?"

"This is the place Miss Granger would recommend." Dumbledore said, blinking.

"Why don't we go straight to Myrdan Stow, Suffolk?"

"Because there is no Myrdance in Suffolk, at least not now." Dumbledore said and shook his head, "After you told me that strange story, I immediately searched for the village you mentioned, but Neither Aldeburgh nor Myrdance exist anymore. The key to finding out what happened to these two places and Miss Granger is in the books of the British Library. You must find out what happened before you try to go back. What's up, Draco."

"Let's go now, Potter," Draco said, jumping up from his chair immediately.

"Wait a minute..." Dumbledore stretched out a wrinkled hand, "Harry, before you go, I want to have a few private words with Draco."

"With Draco?" Harry said, examining the gray-eyed wizard.

"Just a minute, I promise," said Dumbledore.

"Then I'll wait downstairs." Harry said, "Thank you, Professor Dumbledore."

After Harry left, Professor Dumbledore looked at Draco with a familiar expression.

"Draco, from my experience, fairies don't mess up human life for no reason. Is there anything you'd like to tell me?"

Draco swallowed hard.The two stared at each other for a moment, then Draco looked away.

"No, Professor."⑤

Dumbledore stared at the blond wizard for a long time before nodding: "Very well, you can go."

"Thank you Professor." Draco turned away, blushing.

"Draco..." the old wizard called to stop the young man before he left, "...if you want to tell me more, my door is always open for you. You don't need Harry as your door: yours Choice has shown that you are worth more than others think, and you are worth more than yourself."

***************************************

"Malfoy, wake up." Harry shook Draco gently.They are in the public archives of the British Library, surrounded by stacks of books.

Draco sat up, rubbing his eyes. "What time is it?" he asked.

"It's almost six o'clock. We'll be leaving soon."

"Let me read another book," Draco said, putting a large tome on the table with effort.

"No," said Harry, snatching the book away. "We can continue tomorrow. You'll only make yourself sick if you go on like this."

Draco tried to snatch the book back, but Harry took it away.

"It won't work." Draco gave up trying to get the book back. "The records can be found easily with magic."

"Dumbledore said we can't use magic in Muggle libraries."

"Typical Gryffindor... always afraid to break the rules." Draco stood up and stretched at the table.He wobbled a little.Harry saw the blackness under Malfoy's eyes and couldn't help noticing that he had grown very thin.

"Why don't you go home and have a good rest? You really don't look well."

"Hey, Potter," Draco said, and they put the library card back in the reception.

"what happened?"

"Thank you for your help."

"We'll find it soon, Malfoy. But I don't know how long you can keep this secret from the Zabinis. Ron is already sending owls to me like crazy, and he'd love to know What the hell have I been doing these three days, I have to bite the bullet and lie. You should really tell everything, Malfoy... Hermione will want you to."

Draco stopped and looked at Harry as the Muggle sidewalk outside was busy.

"You're right, Potter." For a moment, Draco was lost.

"Why not start with Brace? You owe her."

"Yeah... Brace. Of course."

There was an awkward silence.

"I want to have lunch with Ron, do you want to come?" said Harry suddenly.

"Weasel? I mean... Weasley?"

"Yeah...you really can't hide it from Ron, you know. He's also one of Hermione's best friends. Also, I told him I was visiting Mrs. Figg in the hospital when I wasn't in the office, but he was already suspicious." gone."

Draco grinned. "Well, I can have some lunch anyway. Let's go."

Half an hour later, the two wizards arrived at the Leaky Cauldron.After entering, they found that all kinds of wizards had gathered here.The crowd made Draco uncomfortable.He hadn't been in a place with so many people for a long time... Even the bazaar in Myrdance was not as crowded as here.But Harry seemed to read his expression as agreement, and walked towards a table in the back.

Unexpectedly by Draco, Harry turned around suddenly and raised his cloak: "Uh...not this table, let's see if it's over there."

"What's up, Potter?" Draco looked over Harry's shoulder, and smiled.

"My God, my God!"

Brace jumped off Ron's lap. "Draco!" she screamed.

"Damn it!" Ron swore, wiping the lipstick from his face.

"It's not what you think!" Blaise said, blushing.

"What the hell..." Ron hadn't regained his ability to speak well.He and Bracey both stared at Draco as if he were some particularly frightening ghost.

"Calm down, everyone!" Harry suddenly appeared from behind Draco.He was nearly five inches shorter than the blond wizard, and no one had noticed him before.

"H. Lee!" Ron called. "M.E.F. is back!"

"No need to yell, fool. I'm not deaf," said Harry.

Blaise was still looking at Draco in horror, but Draco just smirked and sat down at the table.

"Hope we didn't interrupt anything," Draco said. "Sit down, Potter. Your friends seem happy to see me."

The atmosphere at the table was extremely awkward.Bracey blushed, Ron gaped, Draco smirked, and Harry started to have a headache.In the end, everyone spoke at the same time...

"Do you have……"

"Is Hermione..."

"So in the end..."

"I brought..."

There was another silence.Harry thinks it's all his fault and it's best to let him fix it.He cleared his throat. "Uh...Ron, Brace...Malfoy came back three days ago."

Ron and Bracey sat in silence.

"We've been busy for the last three days. I called him out to dinner because he had something important to tell us, or uh, yeah..."

"Wait a minute," Draco said, "I think Weasley and Bracey have something important to tell me."

Ron flushed.Harry sighed: "Malfoy, don't be so annoying, get to the point."

Malfoy grinned, and Bruce relaxed a little.

"Draco... I'm really sorry. You're not mad, are you? I mean, we're fine, really..."

"Nothing?" Ron gasped.

"Weasley doesn't seem to think so." Draco pretended not to know.

"That's ridiculous!" Harry said, looking at Draco, "You know you can't meddle in the affairs between Brace and Ron, because..."

"Because?" Ron was curious.

"Because?" Blaise asked in surprise.

"Because..." Draco leaned back in his chair, "I'm married."

It took Ron and Bracey a few minutes to digest the news.Their complexions were indescribably subtle.

"With whom?" Brace said softly.Her eyes were wide and round.

"Yeah... who would be out of their minds to marry you?" Ron asked.

"I choose to ignore your unpleasant tone, Weasley," said Draco, "but the answer to your question is... Hermione Granger."

Ron felt the whole room disappear from him.He could only vaguely feel that someone was stopping him from rushing forward to grab Malfoy's collar.

"You...you...dare...this...to the end..."

"Ron! No! Ron!" shouted Harry and Bracey, holding him back.

Several middle-aged witches at the next table gasped and watched curiously.

"Get him off!" Malfoy growled, kicking Ron in the thigh.The red-haired wizard cried out in pain.

"Ron! Ron! Please!" cried Brace.

Ron was about to slap Malfoy across the table, but Harry and Bracey stopped him.

"He said... he... married Hermione... what... what... the hell... she would never marry such a dirty little ferret..."

[beep——]⑦

Draco jumped up from his seat and punched Ron in the ear.

The middle-aged witches at the adjacent table screamed, and several guests at other tables were also attracted by the commotion and looked over.People whispered: "It's Harry Potter! ... and there's a Malfoy ... Lucius' son ... fighting ... no, he's after the Weasley kid ... that's not Zabini's daughter..."

Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, hurried over to have a look.

"What's up, what's up, what's going on Harry? Ron? You can't fight here."

Ron's eyes were still glassy.Draco hit his ear so hard that he couldn't speak from the pain.

"I'm sorry, Tom." Harry said, staring at Draco and Ron, "I'll just do it."

"Fighting in front of the ladies," said Tom, motioning for Ron to be next to Blaise Zabini, "that sucks! You should be ashamed of yourself! Stop doing such nonsense, or I'm afraid I'll have to Please go out."

Ron muttered angrily... "She will never marry you... what the hell did you do to her, scumbag..."

"Ron, it's true," said Harry softly. "If I knew you were reacting so violently, I would have told you myself!"

"Really?" Brace gasped, looking at Malfoy.She immediately looked at his left ring finger.On it was a gold and ruby ​​ring she had never seen before. "God, Draco...but then...oh my god, my father will kill you! And Hermione is...is...Muggle-born..."

Draco straightened the front of his robes, and Ron almost tore his tie off.

"She...where...where...stinky...white...itachi...you...yes...she...did...what...what..."

"I would appreciate it if you would stop calling me by my nickname," Draco said. "I'm here to be a civilized person."

"Nickname? Nickname?" Ron said angrily. "Who is the goddamn nickname king? Maybe I should wake up your noble memory, or did you forget your brain in the trash?"

Draco waved his hand: "It's over, Weasley. I apologize, okay?"

Ron spat futilely.He hadn't expected this.

"Hermione hasn't come back yet," Harry explained. "Draco said he poured the Thyme Steaker antidote on him, but for some reason, shed it himself."

"Why?" Ron asked.

"I don't know. The last thing she told me was that it was so important that she didn't want me there. Potter and I went through the public archives at the British Library to see if we could find clues to what really happened in 1486. thing."

"She's not going to come back?" said Ron, turning pale, then red, then pale again.

"She'll be back," Draco said curtly.

"Why?" Ron and Blaise asked in unison.

Harry and Draco glanced at each other.

"Malfoy will go back in time to find her," Harry said softly. "He asked Dumbledore to help."

Ron and Bracey stared at Malfoy, who blushed slightly.

"Damn it," said Ron.literal meaning.This is not a curse.

Blaise suddenly became worried: "Are you going to break our engagement, Draco?"

Draco nodded. "I'm sorry, Brace. But you know it's something we'd all like to see, it's just that none of us had the guts to do it before."

"But Draco...you know the consequences..."

"I know." Draco didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"And you don't care?"

"Do not."

Brace turned to Ron and Harry, smiling. "Don't worry. Draco really loves Hermione."

*********************************************

The next day, Harry and Draco were still at the British Library.Muggle librarians are used to having two "government workers" here to "look up information" for their "ministry".As far as she observed, they worked together in a division of labor.The blond moved down the public files in piles and sifted through them as quickly as possible.The dark-haired one took the books off the shelf one by one and searched them in detail.But a simple Confusion Charm stopped her from thinking about it, and it never occurred to her to ask about their work.

"Malfoy," Harry said suddenly, "Look at this."

"What is it?" Draco jumped over a table and rushed to where Harry was.He had a book open in his hand.

"Is that this?"

Draco scanned the page quickly. The chapter title was "Annals of the Western Counties of Ancient England".

He glanced at the place Porter pointed out, and read: "...In 1563, the Anglican Church established 39 Confessions⑧. The Queen sent Aldeburgh, Collingsbury, Rodenberg, The villages of Myrdinsto and Rolston were absorbed into Thorpeness. The local believers no longer had their own priests, and were brought under the jurisdiction of Westminster Abbey...”

"Thorpeness." Draco held his breath, "You found it, Potter. It's Thorpeness!" Draco turned and walked quickly to another pile of files.

"What are you doing?" Harry hurriedly followed.

"Damn it," he pushed aside several volumes, "it's been under our noses all this time!"

"Sorry, dear. We're closing," the librarian said, poking his head in.

"Can we stay another 10 minutes? I think we've finally found something to look up," Draco said earnestly.

"I'm sorry, it's past six o'clock. I've asked you to stay a little longer." The librarian said apologetically, shaking a large bunch of keys in his hand.

"Malfoy," said Harry, "let's continue tomorrow. These books won't go away."

Draco's eyes lit up with excitement, and he clutched a stack of books: "Please, just a little while."

The librarian got a little impatient: "I'm afraid not, Mr. Malfoy."

Malfoy wanted to continue arguing, but his words changed: "Okay, we'll leave right away."

The librarian nodded and waited by the door.

Draco turned his back on Harry.Harry packed his things, and he could hear Draco whimpering under his breath, knowing he must be very upset.Harry himself wanted to read a little longer, but they had promised Dumbledore that he would abide by the library's rules...they had used special clearance to get into this part of the library.

"Okay," Draco said nervously, turning around, "let's go."

They stopped outside the library to say goodbye, and then went in different directions.Harry couldn't help but think that Draco's behavior today was a little strange.Before he could finish saying goodbye, Draco was gone.

Back at Malfoy Manor, he knelt outside the porch before the startled house-elf.

"Master...you..."

"Stop the curse."

A stack of books appeared in front of Draco.Originally they were the size of a pea, but quickly grew to their normal size.The house-elf watched in amazement.

"Come in, master." The elf said timidly.But Draco ignored her and started flipping through the pages.He tosses a book aside in frustration.Draco didn't notice that more elves came and gathered around him.Not a single elf dared to speak.Their masters were frantically flipping through books on the porch as if they were mad.

"Luminescent flashes." Clody saw Draco squinting his eyes reading a book in the twilight, chanting a spell in a low voice⑨.The owner didn't seem to notice what she was doing.

The house-elves began to mutter.Never before has their master behaved like this.Night came quickly at Malfoy Manor.There was silence all around, only Draco's rapid breathing and the flipping of a book could be heard.The house-elves were restless. They sensed their master's tension and despair.

A few hours later, in the faint light that Claudie had conjured up, and surrounded by a host of house-elves, Draco finally saw the page he was looking for.

The pages were yellow, the ink faded - but to Draco the words were as clear as coals in the snow.

"Master!!" Claudie screamed... because her master was screaming in pain and threw the book in his hand into the darkness.

The author has something to say: ① Baron Burner of Lancaster. Baron Burnel of Lancaster

Here is a little praise.The time point of the ancient part is 1486, the era of Henry VII, the beginning of the Tudor dynasty.The change of the British dynasty in the past few hundred years is Plantagenet-Lancaster-York-Tudor-Stuart (Lancaster and York are actually part of the broad Plantagenet Dynasty, and the War of the Roses is The war between the Lancaster and York families, but it was Tudor who benefited in the end. After Stuart, there are things that will be talked about in modern world history classes such as Cromwell, restoration, and the Bill of Rights. repeated).There is a characteristic of the change of dynasty in Britain. The surname of the royal family has changed, but the blood relationship has not changed. Henry VII is still related to the previous Lancaster family.The original author defines Baron Bernard as a member of the Lancaster family, probably to emphasize that the baron has a close relationship with the royal family and is a relative of the king.

②Better the devil you know than the devil you don't know. In fact, the best translation of this English proverb is "It's easy to hide a sharp gun, but it's hard to guard against a dark arrow."

③theMuseumLibrary I initially thought it was the library of the British Museum.However, according to the information, this library was independent in 1973 and merged with several other libraries to form the British Library. The official name should be The British Library.There are tens of millions of books in the library, including manuscripts and first editions of Shakespeare's plays, manuscripts of great poets such as Byron and Keats, as well as priceless rare and rare books and stamps from all over the world.Wikipedia says its collection dates back 3000 years.

I will not comment separately on the content of the library below, let's talk about it together here.The library set up by the author does not seem to be completely described according to the British Library, at least the public archives... and the original author has always used the term theMuseumLibrary.I checked, and there is no such statement, of course, it may be a common name and I can't find it.

According to the information I found, in fact, anyone can read and borrow books, as long as they apply for a library card... But there is one thing, they must have a permanent address, and they must provide their signature and address when applying for a library card.It is estimated that the procedures here are more troublesome?Also maybe there are restrictions on the area they're going to...?

The stupid translator who was brainwashed by Doctor Who has never understood Dumbledore’s logic... It’s not that once you see the historical records, it will become a fixed time and cannot be changed. QAQ What if Hermione died after seeing the historical records? QAQOf course it is If you don’t know anything and go back to save people, you can “change history” without causing time and space problems... (Enough is enough, don’t use the logic of DW anymore!)

④No.Myrdence doesn't exist, but Aldeburgh does, in Suffolk, and it's quite famous...

⑤I don't know how many people think of the question and answer between Dumbledore and Harry in the second part like me after seeing this passage...it's exactly the same as here.

⑥Bloody hell.I apologize for my poor curse words...QAQ

Affected by the Sinicization team I belong to, I try to use relatively orthodox Chinese when translating now, and give up buzzwords, so I deleted the words that first appeared in my mind, such as shit, I'm going... …

reason?

I used to think that using buzzwords is more down-to-earth, but sometimes it may be embarrassing to read it after a few years... A few years ago, I translated a similar word into your sister or something, and now I feel all over Something is wrong.

But what kind of ghost is used in the back... Cough, firstly because it is related to the previous hell, secondly, this word is still relatively weak to me as a buzzword (I have always said that, QAQ), and thirdly, it is also I can't think of it...
