HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

The corridor leading to the Slytherin common room was covered with a layer of black gauze because it was getting dark, and the wall lamp illuminated a small area.

There is always a dark spot between each wall lamp.

At the corner, there stood a boy.

He was tall and slender, wearing plain Slytherin robes, and his light blond hair was more eye-catching than the light.

Obviously, he was waiting for someone.

Lycoris separated from Potter and Hermione at the edge of the Black Lake and hurried back.

In the Slytherin corridor, Lycoris saw Draco.

He just stood there, half leaning against the wall, looking at the candle on the wall lamp not far away, wondering what he was thinking.

Hearing footsteps, Draco turned his head to look at himself, then turned his head back to look at the light.

Draco felt as if he found it interesting that the lamp could suddenly transform into a bat and fly away.

The pair of gray-blue eyes met her own, but Licorice did not feel guilty.

Although she did not tell Potter and Hermione when she went to see them, as a couple, Licorice felt that there was nothing wrong with her behavior.

Trust and respect were given to him, as well as protection and privileges.

Draco was actually very unhappy when he knew that Lycoris went to find Potter and Granger.

It was dinner time.

Some students had already finished eating and went back, but Crabbe and Goyle hadn't yet.

Draco had nothing to do, so he just watched the two of them, trying to prevent them from eating too much, or their brooms wouldn't fly during Quidditch practice.

Crabbe, who was beside Draco, noticed that Draco was watching him and Goyle eating, and tried to divert his attention.

Then I saw Draco's girlfriend Lycoris Snape walking towards Hogwarts.

Crabbe raised an eyebrow. Wasn't she betraying Draco?

Draco raised his hand to hold Goyle's arm as he tried to grab the chocolate cake, and Crabbe suddenly came over.

His tone was slightly sarcastic, "Boss, Miss Snape went to find Potter! Did you see it?"

Hearing this, Draco looked up.

He saw Lycoris was talking to the Gryffindor trio, and Weasley was holding Potter's hand and saying something excitedly.

Seeing that Draco was distracted, Goyle immediately stretched out his left hand, picked up a small cake and put it in his mouth, fearing that Draco would find out.

"Did she tell you in advance this time?" Crabbe also saw Goyle's behavior and did not remind Draco.

She didn't.

Licorice: She didn't tell me in advance.

Draco looked at the missing chocolate cake on the table and rolled his eyes at Goyle.

He must have stolen the food.

Draco said to Crabbe unhappily, "Eat your food. Do you have to mind Lycoris's business?"

She didn't tell herself.

Draco knew that there were many Slytherin students watching him in the present situation, so it would be okay for him to just rush up and question Lycoris.

Ask her, who is more important, Potter or me, and why she always looks for him!

But that would mess up Licorice's business.

Draco knew that she was always forcing herself to study, as if something was urging her behind the scenes.

Draco lowered his eyes, his gray-blue eyes looking at the fruit pulp in the orange juice on the table.

As a boyfriend, it’s okay if the girl you like doesn’t tell you something.

If she goes behind my back and becomes friends with someone I hate, it wouldn't be considered betrayal - after all, she did that before - but it would still make me feel uncomfortable.

Draco has never been a tolerant person.

Whether he is happy or unhappy, it all shows on his face.

Draco had a sullen face and had already blocked Lycoris in the corridor.

With just one glance, Licorice knew that he was unhappy.

Licorice walked over step by step, her leather shoes making a "tapping" sound.

Draco leaned against the wall, the sound like stepping on his heart.

He put his hands behind his back and scratched the wall.

Will Lycoris explain to me that she didn't mean to be associated with Potter, that she had her reasons?

If she said she had her own reasons, I would definitely forgive her.

Lycoris's plain robe brought the smell of the wind from outside into Draco's nose, and she took the initiative to hug Draco's waist, buried her face in his arms, and rubbed against him like a fox.

Draco smelled the mint scent of her hair, and he looked down to see Lycoris's slender, white swan neck. Her warm and soft body rubbed against his arms, and Draco almost forgot why he was blocking her.

"Draco, I have something I want to talk to you about. But now, I want to hug you for a while." Lycoris's voice was soft, tickling Draco's ears like a whisper.

Draco was glad that he was standing in the dark, otherwise she would have seen him in his current state.

"I'm done hugging you. Now it's time for us to talk." After three or five minutes, Lycoris looked up at Draco.

The top of the Astronomy Tower.

Draco held the railing and looked sideways at Lycoris.

"Is there something you should explain to me?" Draco's voice was deliberately cold. He wanted to honestly express his unhappiness to Licorice.

"Are you talking about my look for Potter and Hermione?" Lycoris understood. She knew why Draco was unhappy.

It seems that this matter is very important in Draco's eyes - since he attaches so much importance to this matter, Licorice feels that she should explain it clearly to him.

"Do you have anything more to explain to me than this?" Draco asked.

Yes, but I can’t tell you.

Licorice skipped this question and answered the previous one, "Then let me explain to you, where should I start?"

You explain it to me, and you still ask me where to start?

Draco was almost laughing out of anger, and said, "Just tell me why you want to go find Saint Poter today."

This is ok, it's not a big deal.

"Ask Potter to stand up and announce to the wizarding world from a first-person perspective that the Dark Lord has returned." As soon as Lycoris finished speaking, Draco's heart trembled.

Did she really believe that the Dark Lord had returned? She had gotten out of the maze of the Triwizard Tournament so early, so why did she trust Potter so much?

"Do you trust Potter so much?" Draco narrowed his eyes and looked at her, his fingers trembling slightly.

I can't let Lycoris know that the Dark Lord is in my house. Mom said we must keep it a secret and not reveal the Dark Lord's whereabouts.

Is he afraid?

Afraid that I would believe Potter? Because he hated Potter, so he was afraid that I would believe Potter and not believe him?

Or... about Voldemort?

"It doesn't matter whether I believe Potter or not. What matters is whether Headmaster Dumbledore believes Potter or not. As long as he believes it, then whatever Potter says is true or false."

"What do you mean?"
