HP's return to innocence

Chapter 26 The Talk Before Christmas

Before Christmas, Harry visited Draco one more time.First of all, he said that he really couldn't see from Dean Snape that he wanted to protect him, not make him into a potion material, and then asked Drake if he knew that the Potions Professor had a limp The reason for the legs.

"The dean may have twisted it, had a cramp, or got some acidic potion on himself when making the potion?" Draco shook his head, expressing that he also didn't know what happened, "What's wrong? "

"Ron, I mean Weasley... He seemed to have inadvertently broken into Professor Snape's office, and when he came back, he started telling others that he saw one of the professor's legs was bleeding, as if it had been torn off by something. Crushed flesh."

"Merlin! This is unbelievable, could it be that Weasley is grandstanding? Would there be something at Hogwarts that would make a professor... a monster in the Forbidden Forest? My dad said there were werewolves in there "Draco's eyes widened, and when he mentioned werewolves, he couldn't help but wince.

It's also possible that it wasn't something from the Forbidden Forest. Harry pursed his lips and said, "Aren't we all asked to go back to the dormitory on Halloween? But Neville got lost, and he didn't mean to. I found that there were no other students around."

"But it's been several months since school started... Is his memory really that bad?" Draco had a strange expression on his face.

"Yes, yes." Harry nodded sadly, "Uh, we digressed, anyway, Neville got lost that day, and then he saw Professor Snape coming down the corridor on the fourth floor, limping , the robe is a bit torn and dripping with blood."

"You mean, Dean Snape went to the corridor on the fourth floor and was bitten by a big dog with three heads?"

"Yes, although I don't know why Professor Snape went to that place." Although Harry said so, he could tell from his expression that he probably already thought that Snape wanted to steal the place guarded by the three-headed dog. That thing - the Philosopher's Stone.It's just that, because of Hermione and Neville who are by his side now, he at least remembers that there is such a thing as "consideration" in the world.

He was considerate of Draco, and Snape was the head of the Snake House, so he wouldn't accuse him in front of Draco.He told Drake out of good intentions today, on the one hand, he was hurt in some way without knowing it.

"Harry, I still believe my dean is innocent, although I also don't know why he's there." Drake sighed.

Seeing Draco's disappointed and bewildered expression, Harry showed sympathy and understanding.But Draco quickly cheered up: "By the way, Harry, Christmas is coming, maybe you can give me your and Miss Granger's addresses, otherwise, I won't promise to give you Christmas gifts .”

Harry: "Wow!" A strange cry attracted Draco's curious eyes.

"Sorry, I'm just... a Christmas present~" Harry giggled.

"What happened to the Christmas present?" Draco's face was obviously filled with doubts.

"Before this year, although I was looking forward to getting a Christmas present, but... my uncle's old socks, or my cousin's old T-shirt, if it counts."

Harry didn't answer Drake's doubts. In fact, the doubts on his face became clearer: "Harry, I was actually very strange when I first met you. Your clothes obviously don't fit you well. But you know , I don’t know much about Muggles, so at that time I just thought it was a Muggle trend, why is it like this?”

In fact, the few times he had met Potter, Draco had been waiting for the opportunity to ask him this question.However, there wasn't an appropriate time to ask rashly, which might actually destroy the current harmonious relationship between him and Potter.After all, the current Draco understands that the more impoverished a person is, the more he cares about his own situation. Even if he asks in good faith, it may make the other party feel that he is being insulted.

Sure enough, the smile on Harry's face disappeared, but he didn't blame Drake, he just thought of his current situation and felt uncomfortable.

Scratching his hair, Harry pursed his lips and said, "Because of my parents... So, I live with my uncle and aunt, I live in the closet, and I have to do housework every day, otherwise there is nothing to eat, although Sometimes I have nothing to eat even if I do the housework. My clothes... You see, they are all old clothes that my cousin doesn’t want. When I came to Hogwarts, the one I hated to go to was Gryffindor’s Every time I go to the public bathroom, a group of people stare at the pudding on my socks..."

At the beginning, Harry was telling Draco, but later, it became Harry venting his inner distress through self-narration.After all, this time around he didn't have a Weasley with him who also always used second-hand stuff.And as Drake said, he was Gryffindor's savior first, but now, he has become Gryffindor's point-deducting king.

The classmates who used to pester him still like to point fingers at him now, but they have changed from admiration and admiration to ridicule or even contempt.

Although it's not that he hasn't tasted this kind of taste, compared to being teased by Dali and a group of people in the school for ordinary people, this situation makes him feel more uncomfortable. He originally thought he belonged here.

"Sorry, I've been talking to myself." Harry took off his glasses and rubbed his sore eyes.

"Your situation is a little strange, Harry."

"what?"

"Generally speaking, if both parents are wizards, and they were still living in the wizarding world at the time, then there is no reason to send their children to the Muggle world."

"I don't know, Hagrid told me, it was Headmaster Dumbledore who sent me to my aunt's."

"Uh..." Draco paused immediately, looking embarrassed.

"what happened?"

"If it's Headmaster Dumbledore, then I don't think there should be anything wrong."

"Draco, what are you hiding from me?" Harry looked at Drake fixedly, and Drake looked at him for a while, and finally sighed helplessly: "Okay, let me say. Originally, I wanted to say What's more, if that's the case for you in the Muggle world, why don't you live in the wizarding world?"

"I'm at Hogwarts..."

"No, no, I don't mean going to school, living on campus, I mean, here, in the wizarding world, having a home. That way, you can live here forever."

"This..." The green eyes behind the glasses widened, "Is this possible?"

"You know, the bloodlines of the pure-blooded nobles in the magic world are very chaotic." Drake shrugged, "As long as one of the parents is pure-blooded, and the farthest back is more than three generations, you can find that there is a relationship between the two people. relationship. You can ask Headmaster Dumbledore, maybe he can promise you to go to Longbottom's house, or Weasley's house."

"Weasley?" Harry curled his lips.

"The Weasleys were once related to the Blacks by marriage, just like ours."

"It can't be..." He didn't say the name of the family, but just by looking at Harry's expression, Draco could guess what he wanted to say.

Draco smiled bitterly: "Remember what Weasley told you? Malfoy is the Death Eater."

"Draco, I wouldn't believe that." Harry frowned, obviously not very happy that Drake didn't believe him, "When I was in elementary school, my cousin always said I was a monster, and many people also Follow along and call it a monster, I hate the kind of guy who rogues others for no reason."

"I believe you, Harry." Draco smiled, "However, the fact is that we do have a bad reputation. After all, even though my dad was under the Imperius Curse, he did a lot for that man after all. Bad thing." Draco frowned and lowered his head, his blue-gray eyes flashed with sadness, "So he has been donating money all these years to those who lost their loved ones in the war..."

"Your dad shouldn't be too sad, after all, it's been many years since the war." Harry comforted Draco.

"Thanks, Harry."

"It's okay." The platinum prince's gratitude made Harry blush a little.

"However, not everyone thinks like you. For example, Ron Weasley, and their family. His father even once said that he would throw my father into Azkaban." Draco frowned aggrievedly , "There will always be a period of time every year when he comes to my house to check this, check that, and then choose two family antiques to take away."

Harry's expression was very strange, and Draco could figure out where the savior was thinking with his heels, but he obviously didn't intend to clarify anything.

"However, in fact, Mr. Weasley's attitude can actually affect Headmaster Dumbledore. And, you know, Gryffindor, Slytherin~" Draco made a fighting gesture, "Some Slytherin I look down on Gryffindor's recklessness, and some Gryffindors obviously can't understand our cunning, not only among students, but also among adult wizards. The Savior offered to live in a Slytherin family..."

Draco looked at Harry with obvious guilt, and Harry could easily understand what he didn't finish: "It will cause trouble for your family."

"I'm sorry, Harry."

"No, I want to thank you, Draco. I haven't thought about it before, I can live in the wizarding world. But will Neville's grandma accept me? After all, I am only a distant relative." His mother's sister, Even if they treated him like that, if they were just distant relatives, they would not be obliged to take care of him...

"Or you can place an advertisement in the "Daily Prophet" and ask if there are any families who are willing to adopt the Savior? But be careful, before going through the adoption procedures, you must go to the Ministry of Magic for a property notarization—your parents I left you an inheritance, didn't I?"

After that, the young master of the Malfoy family taught the savior from the Muggle world knowledge literacy on specific legal issues of justice.But looking at Harry's blank eyes, he probably didn't understand much, but as long as he knew to do justice, it would be fine.

And then, there is the issue of the savior and Dumbledore. Harry decided to find an opportunity to talk to Dumbledore recently.And Draco, who made trouble for Dumbledore, stuffed the crown into the suitcase at the beginning of the Christmas holiday, boarded the Hogwarts Express in high spirits, and went home...
