[Comprehensive] The Wizard and the Fugitive

The music started, and the two owners of Malfoy Manor walked onto the dance floor holding hands.Draco lay on William's shoulders, swaying with the rhythm in a relaxed manner. He glanced up at a certain witch on the second floor who was staring at him, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"That's a girl from the Dupin family," he said suddenly.

William froze for a moment: "What?"

Draco didn't explain, and continued: "For hundreds of years, their family has been at the bottom of the second-rate family. Miss Dupin's grandfather wanted to change this situation, but unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, it is still the same today. Same old. Honestly, they're kind of embarrassing for Ravenclaw."

The witch he had just met finally appeared in his mind, William nodded indifferently, and said casually: "Their talents are not used in the right place."

Draco sneered: "I doubt they really have such a thing as intelligence. The Sorting Hat is old, who knows why it keeps sending Dupins into Ravenclaw? Granger's book And it said it was going to sort Potter into Slytherin. Come to think of it, I almost ended up in a house with Potter, it was horrible!"

What's the matter with Potter?

William smiled: "Hogwarts is sorted with a thousand-year-old magic prop, which is indeed a bit outdated."

"Right, you think so too." Draco raised his chin, very satisfied with William's position.

As more and more guests stepped onto the dance floor, it was rare for Draco to be self-willed at the banquet, lying in William's arms, lazily not wanting to talk to anyone.William's shoulders acted as a barrier, and no one came to make a presence at the risk of annoying him.

The two hugged each other, swaying slowly and disorderly on the dance floor, and Draco was always leaning on William, looking almost asleep.

This strike of the banquet host continued until there was a sudden commotion at the gate, which broke the harmonious atmosphere in the hall.Draco still buried his face in William's arms, impatiently listening to the movement over there, and asked with a frown, "What's going on? Is anyone late?"

"No. It's an unexpected guest." William said with a smile, and nodded politely to the person who just walked in, very naturally.

Draco rolled his eyes, straightened up with no interest, turned his head to look over, and happened to meet the other party's gaze.

"Potter!" He regained his energy in an instant, showing natural surprise all over his body, as if he was looking forward to seeing the other party at the banquet at his home, even though he never thought of sending the other party a message. an invitation.

The guests in the hall watched Draco walk quickly in front of Harry Potter, put his arms around his shoulders as if facing an old friend, and led him to the second floor.

"I didn't expect you to come here. The election must have been exhausting these days! I'm very honored that you took the time to come to Malfoy Manor."

Draco's voice was loud, and many people could clearly hear the excitement in his words, discussing his relationship with Potter in low voices.Everyone knew clearly about the antagonism between the two of them when they were students, but this antagonism seemed to have changed after graduation.When Draco fled, Harry tried every means to commute his sentence. After Draco came back, he didn't always target Harry as he did in the past.They have basically never met face to face, and they seem to have entered a state where well water does not interfere with river water, but they seem to be a little closer than this. People with sensitive nerves can more or less guess that in this election, the Malfoy family should have chosen to support Potter. .

"I didn't come to play with you." After the two walked up to the second floor and entered the study, Harry finally frowned and avoided Draco's approach.

"Of course you can't come for me." Draco shrugged, indifferently.He just grasped Harry's mentality of not wanting to be the protagonist of gossip in full view, so he approached him confidently and used his body movements to mislead everyone.

He took two steps back and sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs relaxedly, raised his head and looked at Harry with a smile: "Let me guess, if you're not here because of me, it's because of your two Good friends."

Harry shook his head: "I heard something."

"Oh? It has something to do with me?" Draco asked with a look of interest, but his tone was perfunctory, obviously not serious.

"I've been told you're rigging the election in order for me to win..."

"Haha!" Before Harry could finish speaking, Draco burst out laughing suddenly, his whole body fell down from laughing, and tears flowed out from laughing. "Are you under too much pressure, so you have paranoia?" Draco said with a smile: "I did vote for you, but it was purely because you only gave me two choices, either you or Greg Lan Jie, what can I do? I have to choose one of the two options that is relatively less bad. As for helping you..." He shook his head with disgust on his face: "I advise you to be realistic, the Malfoy family is here There's no way in my generation that I'd be friends with Potter."

"But……"

Draco waved his hand and interrupted Harry again: "Did Granger tell you?"

"Of course not!" Harry retorted, frowning.

Draco shrugged, not caring much: "Well, whatever you think. But I think she must be very anxious now. Seeing that she is about to lose to you, she passed the position of minister, It's understandable even if you do something behind your back. It's just to mislead the opponent, and it doesn't want your life."

Draco's casual attitude finally irritated Harry a little, but today it was Harry himself who came to Malfoy Manor to seek answers, so he could only bear it for now.He didn't bother to explain the friendship between him and Hermione to Draco, and realized that Draco would not tell the truth to him, but would instead provoke him and his friends.Coming to Malfoy Manor had been a mistake.

There was a stalemate in the study until there were faint footsteps in the corridor.Harry turned sideways, watched William come in through the door, put two cups of black tea on the table, and then looked at him with a smile: "Mr. Potter, don't you want to sit down?"

This is a person that is hard to be disgusted with. Although he has the title of the number one dark wizard in Europe, has a cold-blooded and cruel family, and is with a cunning person like Malfoy, there is always something unique about him. mild.This kind of gentleness makes him look particularly approachable, non-aggressive, and even a bit like Hufflepuff.

Harry stared at him for a while, then glanced at the glass of drink on the table that was suspected to be prepared by William himself, and shook his head: "No, I have nothing to say between you and me."

Draco spread his hands innocently: "That's because you lack trust in us."

Harry chuckled softly, as if asking rhetorically, how could Draco speak of trust so unblinkingly.

Draco sighed: "Don't do this. The Ministry of Magic has given me back my freedom. Doesn't this prove that you were right when you helped me run around?"

"I've always regretted it," said Harry, staring Draco in the eyes. "You better not be too happy. I don't know how you cheated on Veritaserum, but don't forget, I can too. Prove your status as a Death Eater by drinking Veritaserum."

Draco nodded, without the slightest bit of nervousness, and actually showed quite an approval, making Harry feel like he had punched him in the cotton.

If it wasn't for Malfoy Manor here, he probably couldn't help but have a nostalgic duel with Draco.It's a pity that no matter how impulsive he is, he won't come here again, and conflict with Draco under William's nose, he can only choose to see out of sight.

He came suddenly and left just as suddenly.William looked at the study door which was closed vigorously, raised his eyebrows and asked, "I don't understand, what is he doing here?"

"I guess Granger has someone tell him that I'm behind his back to help him gain more votes." Draco said indifferently: "Granger probably wants him to withdraw from the election, but it's a pity , Our savior Potter is still so impulsive, he actually wants to come here and find me for the answer in person.” Speaking of this, Draco laughed, winked at William, and said happily: “He must be very troubled now. But he must also want to get the highest power so that he can give me a fair trial that best meets his expectations."

William shook his head: "If you just want to convict you, Granger can do it too."

"No." Draco laughed. "He's used to being Slytherin's opponent."
