[HP] Noble

When the heavy potions professor's office door closed behind him, blocking all the light and warmth behind one door, the cool wind of the early autumn night blew from all directions of the castle, Scorpius shivered, and his goosebumps fell off. land.

He looked up stupidly, grinning as he watched the senior Slytherin beside him pull out his wand and use a fluorescent flash, when the fluorescent light broke away from the tip of the wand like a firefly, fluttering up to the middle of the two heads in the air At that moment, Scorpius moved, his brain finally cleared up, and then he...well, began to regret endlessly.

"Is it still dark?"

"...It's not dark anymore."

The only dialogue, and the content is crushing.

The perpetual candlelight on the castle wall flickered dangerously, giving off a little yellow light, and the reflection stretched unsteadily.In the empty corridor, the sound of two people walking on the bluestone bricks was abrupt and harsh.Like a first-year student who has just entered school and made a mistake, Scorpius followed the sixth-year Slytherin obediently. When he passed a corner, he raised his foot and suddenly noticed that he was about to step on Della Ke's shadow, he hurriedly braked the car, and then stopped.

The person in front obviously heard the movement, and turned around expressionlessly.

Facing Draco's questioning gaze, Scorpius was a little dumbfounded.After a while, he stammered and said, "If you step on your shadow, you will get sick."

After I finished speaking, I wanted to slap myself—who wants to listen to your nonsense! !

"why?"

Some couldn't believe that he heard the question in his ear. When he raised his head, he saw Slytherin, whose back was facing the light, raised his eyebrows at himself: "Talk while walking."

Thanks to the Jade Emperor, there are still people who are interested in these messy things.Otherwise, Scorpius would almost cry out of embarrassment for himself. He breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered his head, retracted his hands into his robe, and followed Draco in front of him with two small trots. At that moment, Scorpius Unexpectedly, Pi thought of Empress Dowager Cixi and Li Lianying.

"Our people have such a saying, er, it means that the shadow of a person contains some luck and..." Scorpius thought for a while, and finally didn't think about how to say "yang qi" in English, so I can only say, "And the breath of the living - if you step on it, you will have bad luck and people will get sick - that's what my grandfather said."

"When we were kids we used to play a game of stepping on shadows," Draco said suspiciously. "No one got sick."

... So this is probably what grandpa said to lie to the child.Scorpius made two embarrassing "hehe", and he was a little confused about what kind of mentality he used to treat Draco in the same way that grandpa treated children, and Draco seemed to have other thoughts, so the two fell into a conflict again. In the strange silence.

And the walk from Gryffindor Tower to the Slytherin Vault became eerily long that day.

At the second corner, Draco broke the silence again.

"Does it still hurt?"

"...It doesn't hurt anymore."

"It didn't hurt at all." The platinum nobleman asked calmly, "Why are you leaving there in such a hurry?"

This time, Scorpius did not answer his question directly, but instead asked: "Yes, I want to get out of there, don't you?"

Then, miraculously, Scorpius thought he saw Draco's first genuine smile of the night - though it faded quickly, it was still captured, "Yeah." He heard the Slytherin prince He replied softly, "I hate dragon blood, their stickiness and smell make me feel uncomfortable."

"And I just want to go for a walk in the evening when I'm full, and the atmosphere of sitting there makes me sleepy."

"So you decided to go out for a walk and invite me by the way?"

"Uh, yes... No, no." Scorpius replied in a daze, "The moment he brought the dragon's blood, I wanted to take you away."

Scorpius obviously didn't realize that he said the aggressive words "take you away", but Draco noticed, but obviously, this didn't make the senior Slytherin feel any resistance, He even smiled again: "Ah, if you didn't know that you can't expect too much, I almost thought you remembered something."

"Have I forgotten?" Scorpius asked inexplicably.

Draco's smile froze for a moment, then gradually disappeared, and his silver-gray eyes became flat and indifferent again, "Yes, you forgot." He replied softly.

"Something very important?"

"Probably. Probably very important."

When they said this, the two of them finally saw the aisle leading to the Slytherin cellar, and the surrounding became more and more cold, which made Scorpius wrap his robes subconsciously, and he followed closely behind the senior Slytherin. Behind Leitlin, when he was so cold that he almost shivered, he found that the platinum noble walking in front didn't have much other reactions, and even his voice remained calm.

"Aren't you cold?" Scorpius asked. "I remember you were chilled."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he immediately shut his mouth - swear to Merlin, it was almost subconscious, and he Scorpigret didn't even know why he felt that the Slytherin in front of him "used to be chilly" , wanted to skip this topic, but it was obviously too late, the footsteps of the person walking in front suddenly became sluggish, and finally, he stopped completely and turned around.

Prince Slytherin's silver-gray eyes were particularly bright in the firelight on the walls of the cellar passage.

It even gives people the illusion that there is often a golden light flashing inside.

"I used to be chilled," he said, his tone so flat that his emotions were hard to discern, "but not now."

"..." Scorpius fell silent, he decided not to ask any more stupid questions like "why" - because tonight's too dumb conversations were already enough to overwhelm the weight of this semester in his opinion.

Unexpectedly, he seemed to hear a sneer, and when he raised his head in surprise, he found that Draco was indeed smiling, which made his eyes look more energetic, and the flickering fire light printed on his silver The gray eyes turned into a beautiful gold: "Want to know why?" He asked with a smile.

Scorpius didn't even have time to nod or shake his head.

He saw Draco raise his hand slowly, and then took off the glove.

The flickering candlelight printed the shadows of the two on the wall, and the elongated shadow trembled slightly with the wind coming from nowhere.

Scorpius held his breath, his eyes widening slightly.

When the glove was completely peeled off Draco's left hand, he finally saw something unusual—

It's scales.

White, fine scales.They shone with pure white light, densely covering the place that should have been the skin of a human hand, neat and clean, and the size of each scale was almost exactly the same.

Not realizing whether his behavior was polite, almost obsessed, Scorpius raised his hand and carefully touched the wonderful thing——

He found them hard and smooth, like a cross between a snake and some kind of creature.

Immediately, an astonishing message quickly appeared in his mind.

"Is this a dragon scale?" Scorpius withdrew his hand and stared at the calm senior Slytherin with wide eyes.

"Not exactly, but so to speak." Draco said flatly, retracting his robes, and quickly put on his gloves again, "I hate dragon's blood, because dragons are an extremely easy A creature that resonates, a drop of dragon's blood will also excite the dragon's blood in my body," Draco thought for a while, and continued, "It's like someone cast a 'blood boiling' spell on you Like."

"Will they be there forever?" Scorpius asked. "Of course, I'm not saying they're not pretty."

"...No one asked you to praise them for their beauty, do you think I'm showing off to you?" Draco asked weakly after a pause.

Scorpius was embarrassed: "They're pretty."

"But they're not always there. Normally, I have a layer of intact human skin on the back of my hand." Draco rolled his eyes in an inelegant way, "I wear gloves just in case Just in case, and it turns out that I was right to be careful—those filthy dragon blood splattered made them scramble to grow out, and if I continued to stay there, it might spread to the whole back."

"Oh!" Scorpius frowned, "Will it hurt?"

"Get used to it." Draco shrugged noncommittally.

"Why is that?"

"Probably one of Malfoy's ancestors had a not-so-romantic love story with dragons." Draco said not too coldly, "Sorry, I can only say so much, and you will find that this is a family of magical creature blood The only explanation to the outside world - we are not that popular, after all, this is absurd, a long time ago, only the dark wizard family would try their best to carry out...blood exchange with magical animals."

Draco admitted that he had struggled a bit to put the bloody scene into something more official.

After saying this, he turned around, took a few steps down the corridor stairs, came to the door of the common room, and whispered the password to pass.When the two snakes on the door woke up from their intertwined state and slid open the door for them, Scorpius finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Why did you tell me this?"

His answer was a warm and soft touch on his lips.

It was a very quick kiss.

It was so fast that he only had time to notice someone bending slightly to approach him.

"Probably to thank you, the feeling of sleeping on a bed covered in scales is not very pleasant." The platinum noble's voice disappeared into the darkness of the tunnel leading to the Slytherin common room, "Good night, my boy."
