HP's return to innocence

Chapter 85 The Halloween Chapter and Aftermath

It was still the small classroom that had been missing for more than a year. When Drake and Crown arrived, the savior was already there.Seeing them, Harry immediately stood up and greeted them warmly.

"Hi, Drake."

Draco nodded towards him, turned his head to signal for Diorang to go out and wait, and he himself pulled a chair that was still in good condition and sat down.

"Draco, I want to thank you for saving me that day."

"I just saved myself that day, as for others, it was just by the way."

Harry smiled: "Draco, we are friends, right?"

Draco raised his eyebrows, the expression of a savior... He probably thought that his "friend" was just playing his temper because he was misunderstood before.Guys who don't understand Slytherin at all, only Gryffindors can't tell friend from enemy, and only Gryffindors can be as capricious as the weather in June.

The real Slytherin, although hypocritical, has always been able to clearly distinguish between friends and enemies, and has always been sincere and firm in identifying friends.

"Harry Potter, do you know what friendship is?" There was a sardonic smile on Draco's lips, "Sorry, I shouldn't ask you this question."

Most of Gryffindor's friendships are cheap, they are easy friends with each other.The affectionate shoulder-to-shoulder, the compliments, the banter, that's why Gryffindors always look so boisterous - and when you're looking from the outside, it's really attractive.

But at the same time, such a friendship is fragile in Drake's view. Everyone is a friend, but it also means that everyone is not a friend.Most of the Gryffindors can't hide their secrets. If a person confides in his close friends, then wait for himself to become the laughing stock of the whole school, right?

And what is too easy to get is also easier to lose, so every once in a while, there will be unlucky people in Gryffindor who are excluded collectively.They are the object of bullying and ridicule, they are pranked, made things difficult, made fun of, and become a source of joy for others until the next hapless person appears.Even sometimes, they will find the heads of other colleges.

The relationship between Slytherin students does seem to be alienated and indifferent, and few students show their feelings.The initial circle of friends was mostly established based on the contacts of family elders. In fact, from this point of view, Dumbledore’s idea was correct—the Gryffindors are the real children, and their friendship is also childlike. friendship.Slytherin friendships, on the other hand, tend to be more adult friendships.

And Harry Potter needs the first kind.He needs someone to laugh with him, make trouble with him, even quarrel with him, but when he needs someone, he will appear in front of him again.

He should be thankful that there was a Hermione Granger last time and a Neville Longbottom this time, neither of these kids are Gryffindors in the purest sense, Granger has the sanity of a Ravenclaw The concept of equality with Muggles, while Longbottom has the loyalty of Hufflepuff and the persistence of the Longbottom family.

If he had only the Weasley red skunk around - and only that guy's friendship was pure Gryffindor friendship - it would have ended pretty well...

Maybe he himself is a pure Slytherin, at least Draco doesn't understand this kind of friendship, let alone recognize it.In fact, he had given Potter a chance, and more than once.As long as Potter caught any of them, even if Draco decided to break up the relationship between the two, he would not hesitate like he is now.

However, Potter himself gave up...

"Draco?" Drake's question and the subsequent denial made Harry puzzled and at the same time had a bad premonition.

"Please don't call me 'Draco'." Drake stood up. "We've never been close enough to call each other by their first names, Potter."

Harry frowned, but he didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, he just felt that Drake was a bit stingy: "Drake, I thought we could continue to be friends, but now it seems that you obviously don't mean that."

"This is really amazing. It turns out that you finally realized this. I thought the savior's head, which was full of arrogance and arrogance, no longer had any brains."

"I'm never arrogant! And I'm not arrogant! That's you, Draco Malfoy!"

"Really? So, as a child who can eat and drink with other people the day after their parents' death. What kind of person do you think you are, a respectable person?"

"What, what! What did you say? You said my parents' memorial day?"

"Look at your face, do you want to yell, 'Tell me, what day did my parents die?', or 'I don't know! It's not my fault!'," Harry the Redeemer Poe Te, you're a celebrity, that historic day of your victory over the Dark Lord - oh, that's history indeed - is clearly recorded in almost all of the recent history of the wizarding world, but you've never seen it."

"I do not……"

"Nothing? No one told you that you were recorded in the history books? I feel so sorry for Miss Granger, because on the train in the first grade, she kept saying that she knew you from the books. I also Sorry for Creevey, didn't the little boy who was chasing after you say he thought of you as a hero because he read the book?"

"..." Harry finally stopped trying to explain anything, he looked panicked and bewildered, even as if he wanted to ask Draco for help.

"You don't know your parents' memorial day, their cemetery, their past, and even if that half-giant Hagrid didn't give you a picture book, you don't even know what your parents look like, do you? What 'no one' told you, did you ever try to find it yourself? So you still think you're a smart, kind, brave, righteous Gryffindor? You're a slacker and a coward, stay away from me ,Savior."

Throwing down the savior who had hit too hard, Draco turned and left.

"Aren't you afraid that the savior's nonsense will affect your image?" Crown, who was waiting outside, immediately followed after seeing Draco leave.

"Then he'll have another nickname soon - 'The Lying Savior'. Even if anyone believes him, it's only Ron Weasley or something." Draco shrugged, expressing no worries.

"Poor guy." The treacherous expression on Guan Guan's face made no one see any mercy.

"By the way, after two days of the Halloween ball, have you decided on your dance partner? Now many boys are complaining about you." Halloween used to only have one big meal, but starting this year, there will be a masquerade every Halloween prom.

"My dance partner will be a girl, why are boys complaining about me?"

"Because the girls are either reserved and looking forward to your invitation, or eager to invite you boldly, so the boys can't find a dance partner~"

"How about I invite you?" Draco stopped suddenly, turned around and looked at him with a half-smile.

"..." Guan Mian felt his heart pause for a moment, but...

"As long as you are willing to wear women's clothing, it's a masquerade anyway, and your figure is about the same as that of a girl." Drake looked at his chest again, "a girl with a relatively slow development."

"You're such a bastard, Draco Malfoy."

"Thank you for the compliment." Drake saluted, "Don't think about it, we have another program for the dance."

"But you should know how eye-catching you are. Even if it's a masquerade ball, when the ball starts, there will definitely be no fewer people paying attention to you."

Drake's footsteps stopped: "So I really need a dance partner?" He frowned slightly, the situation was a bit troublesome, not because he was arrogant, but because he was sure that there was a girl who held Malfoy's arm at the ball , will never let go before the dance is over.

"Alfoy...Malfoy!" Draco, who was walking with a frown, suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

The two stopped at the same time, turned around, and when they saw someone coming, Draco's expression remained unchanged, but this time the one who frowned was replaced by a crown, because it was Astoria Greengrass.

At this moment, the situation of the Greengrass family is not good.The guys in the Ministry of Magic were tormented by the escaped Death Eaters, and Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix power also temporarily died down.As for Lucius, who got a chance to rest, of course he didn't just rest like that, but started to fight back.

The target he chose would not be a hornet's nest like the Ministry of Magic or the Order of the Phoenix, but the interior of the pure-blood nobles--I believe that the two forces would be very happy to see the pure-blood nobles fighting among themselves.Greengrace, a middle-class aristocratic force, is one of Lucius' key "care" objects.

"Malfoy."

"Excuse me." Although the crown is unwilling to leave, it can only leave. Of course, it is also because Drake made it clear before that he will not marry Greengrass - it is just not so firm, not absolute No, but apparently the crown has settled itself...

"Malfoy...can I invite you to the Halloween ball?" Astoria blushed and kept looking down at her toes as she spoke.

"Sorry, I already have a partner, Miss Greengrass."

Drake's unrepentant answer made the little girl tremble, but obviously she didn't want to give up so early, but bit her lips and raised her head: "I have discovered since I was in school that you often look at me, Malfoy."

"What are you implying, Miss Greengrass?"

Astoria looked up at Drake, but she and Kuai found that there was no embarrassment or shame in the eyes of this beautiful boy after the truth was exposed, he was calm and indifferent.So this made Astoria feel at a loss, and the little girl's eyes gradually overflowed with tears.

This made Draco feel like a bully, but before he could open his mouth, Astoria rolled his eyes: "No, nothing, goodbye, Mr. Malfoy..." Looking at the girl who left in a hurry, Draco had a weird feeling feeling...

"What did you do to that poor little girl?" Dior stepped out as Astoria's footsteps disappeared down the corridor, "And, what should I say? 'Malfoy worthy'? Short To make a boy angry and then make a girl cry in half an hour is really..."

"Would you like to weep in public, Mr. Gaunt?"

"Well, when I didn't ask anything, I didn't say anything." Guan Guan turned around tactfully.

"But..." Draco took two quick steps, and chased after Guan Guan, putting a hand on his shoulder, "Invite again, be my Halloween dance partner."

"Orders?" Diadem began to regret reminding Draco of this, he didn't want to wear a lady's dress, and he didn't want to wear high heels.

"I've already said, it's just an invitation." Draco thought for a while and added, "It's fine to wear a man's dress. Anyway, I just need a dance partner."

"..."

"Otherwise, I can also invite you on a formal occasion with flowers and sweets."

"I'm not a teenage girl, but, while saying that, don't you think your tone, expression, movement and demeanor are a bit perfunctory?"

"Actually, Tom, if you agree to bear me a child, it's all right to marry you after graduation."

"Crack!" Guan Guan's stepping foot twisted on the flat ground, and Guan Guan could clearly hear the sound of his ankle.He stood still with difficulty, and looked at Draco with a shocked face: "When did the Malfoy family's invitation to a partner have been reduced to the point where they can just have children?"

"When did you feel so inferior that you thought your merits were limited to being able to have children?"

"Then can I understand, in your eyes, do I have any other advantages?"

"Pure blood, powerful magic, good looks, never betrayal, although there is no powerful family, but from another perspective, you will not be distracted by a family other than the Malfoy family."

"Why did you suddenly discover so many benefits of me?"

"Because just now... I suddenly realized that it really doesn't matter to anyone."

Guan Guan didn't know if he should be moved by the fact that after Draco "doesn't matter", the first thing he thought of was himself.However, Drake's request was to have children—in fact, he had ignored this intentionally or unintentionally before. As a pure-blood family with a long history, of course it is very important to have offspring.

"You can think about it, anyway, you don't have any competitors yet." Draco said as he walked again.

Crown curled her lips, suspecting that Drake's words were deliberately adding to his pressure - who said that the title of "Mrs. Malfoy" was not competitive?If Drake really announces "As long as you want to bear me a child, I will marry you", then half of the Hogwarts students will sign up!

Crown suddenly covered his face. Why, he was thinking of "Mrs. Malfoy" just now?Why "ma'am"? !

"Tom?" Draco walked for a while, but found that the crown did not follow.

"I... I sprained my foot..."

"Are you really 'Tom'?" Draco couldn't help but sigh after healed Crown's ankle with a spell.

"I just didn't think of it for a while." Guan Guan said that he didn't know why, and he would do more and more idiotic things recently.

"Okay~ You didn't think about it for a while~" Draco nodded, "Come on, I don't want to go to the restaurant for lunch at the peak time."

Halloween

No one expected that Draco Malfoy would walk into the auditorium holding the hand of a small boy.Some speculated that it was a lower-grade girl who dressed herself as a boy, but others speculated that it was the second-grade Tom Gaunt who had been following Draco.

However, the discussion around Drake was only a short moment before the ball started. Drake didn't wear any fancy and eye-catching clothes, just a simple pure black dress robe, plus a fancy mask covering most of his face, And at the ball, they themselves have to dance and have fun, so it's impossible to keep staring at him.

So it didn't take long for the topic of Drake to be submerged in the noisy discussions.

And around ten o'clock, Draco and Crown, who had been ignored for a long time, left the auditorium and returned to the Slytherin dormitory.From their pocket watches, they had established that Sirius Black had entered the Gryffindor common room.And Harry Potter, because of the blow that Draco gave him a few days ago, did not go to the dance today, but stayed in the common room...

Around eleven o'clock, Crown and Draco, who were reading in the dormitory foyer, heard the apparition beep and raised their heads.After Dobby dropped a black dog and a mouse on the ground, both pseudo-animals were, of course, unconscious.

With a look of disgust on his face, Guan Guan walked into his bedroom with the mouse's tail in his hand.After he closed the door, Drake gave the black dog a spell.The black dog, who had a fierce face at the beginning, immediately calmed down when he saw Drake again. In fact, he was a little too honest, and he lay on the ground with his ears drooping.

Draco crouched beside him and rubbed his head: "Where have you been, and you've got covered in dust again? Get up, I'm going to take you to take a shower!"

The black dog was unwilling to move at first, but Draco grabbed the skin on the back of his neck relentlessly, as if he was going to drag him into the bathroom like this, and finally he could only give in.

The next day, the Weasley children and the Savior put on a comedy show in a hallway somewhere.The reason is that Ron thinks that the savior lost his mouse on Halloween-the boy in the same dormitory, only the savior did not go to the ball on Halloween, but the mouse just disappeared.

Because of the noise of the rats, Weasley gradually accused the Savior of becoming eccentric recently.Not to be outdone, the Savior quarreled with Weasley.

Then Ginny Weasley stepped in, took the savior's side, and started blaming her brother.The twins, who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, also jumped out. At the beginning, it was hard to tell which side they were on, and it seemed that they were here to sell their joke supplies.

And the poor little brother Ron Weasley in the Weasley family was tricked unconsciously. After eating a piece of biscuit in a daze, his whole body was suddenly covered with feathers, and the pinch of red hair on his head was even more conspicuous. Incomparably...

The arrival of the professors and the prefects brought this matter to an end. The Gryffindors who participated in this matter were collectively deducted points, and the twins were deducted the most, and their class tutors will write to the Weasleys , on the grounds of "hurting classmates".

Even though the twins have repeatedly stated that these joke items, which they have experimented on themselves, are completely harmless to the body.

But this only made things worse, although the potions they learned to contact were for all wizards, even Muggles could drink them.But in fact, even these potions need to be taken according to the individual's physique.

For example, people who do not have a cold, if they take cold medicine rashly, it may cause dizziness, tinnitus, and even side effects of heat and cold.Transformation potions like compound decoction, if the wrong non-human hair is used, it will cause serious consequences.Even if it is used correctly, it will also have side effects if taken for a long time. As for what it looks like, it varies from person to person.

The joke supplies made by the Weasley brothers, even if they use their own experiments, but given their age, the experiment time will not last too long, at most it will only be a year or two, and it may even be only a month or two months.Compared with the time for a potion to be released and used by the world, this is really too short.In particular, these products are obviously more able to arouse the interest of children-underage children whose own magic cycle has not been finalized.

The production staff are just two young wizard brothers who have not graduated, and the production tools are only two standard crucibles.It has not been tested on animals, or experimented on by wizard volunteers, and has not been verified for a long time. Their so-called proof is only that they respond well after taking it.

However, this kind of thing can make a wizard full of feathers in an instant, and then return to normal after five seconds - going through two form changes in a short period of time is a huge consumption of magic power - as a potion for parents who care about their children and those who want to Professors who are accountable to students, will they be able to circulate them in the school?

When the Weasleys were invited to Hogwarts to talk to the professors about twins, countless wizarding parents sent owls letters—including the Malfoys, sternly warning their children to stay away from those joke objects. At one o'clock, the reaction of the parents surprised even Drake.

As far as he is concerned, although he does not agree with and like twins.But I have to admit that Fred Weasley and George Weasley are indeed a pair of very talented brothers, of course, only in terms of invention and creation, for those who sell all the high-efficiency love potions...

Moreover, it was clear that nothing major happened last time, and the professors even acquiesced in their behavior towards the twins.

But in fact, the reason why there was no riot last time was because the professors didn't think about danger.But now, the new young professors at Hogwarts are more active in consciousness, and there are also wizards of mixed blood or hemp breed among them. Most of them attach great importance to food and drug safety, so when they saw Wes After seeing the products of Lai Brothers, there was a sense of crisis immediately.

At the same time, after the school strike last school year and the spider incident, parents are paying more and more attention to Hogwarts, which makes them realize that it is not enough to send their children to Hogwarts.

But anyway, that was the trouble the Weasleys had to face, and Draco just had to watch the show once in a while to entertain himself.Then, in the blink of an eye, it was Christmas.

"Are you sure you want to take this guy home?" Crown watched as Draco carefully put a hat and scarf on the black dog, a real collar with a chain, and even put on dog shoes - Muggle sled dogs Wear this often to keep your dog's paws from freezing.

"Of course, let's go." Draco tugged, but the black dog didn't move. "Do you decide to go by yourself, or let the elf throw you into the carriage after the electricity turned over?"

"..." So the black dog moved his paw obediently.
