Stepfather of HP

But Ron was too frightened by Snape, and Harry raised the topic several times to no avail, and it was Mr. Weasley who finally broke the deadlock.

"So you took Harry on a trip?"

"Yes."

"Traveling with a child is not easy. Fortunately, you only have one child." Mr. Weasley said with a smile. Half acquaintances at social calendar gatherings.

"Harry is very obedient." Snape's attitude was much better when he mentioned Harry. Harry smiled cooperatively. Mrs. Weasley is good at craftsmanship, especially good at winning with quantity. She seems to think that Harry does not care about food as much as his mother Not too thin or something, it filled Harry's plate very much, and Harry dealt with the food in front of him very hard, "Don't pick out the carrots." Snape noticed Harry's picky eating behavior sharply. .

"I'm just saving it for later." Merlin, he's 12 years old... When will father think he's an adult if things go on like this.

"Children are always picky eaters. We had a hard time getting Ron to eat his first bite of cauliflower." Mrs. Weasley smiled, "It must be hard to take care of a child by yourself."

"It's okay. Things got better after Harry went to school." Snape talked about the children's book cooperatively, and he was always willing to talk about Harry.

"Yeah, it's really much better after going to school. When the twins were young, we didn't even sleep for an hour every night. Now they've grown up so much. The youngest Ginny is going to school this year."

"Ginny is very cute." Snape vaguely recalled that the little girl named Ginny in the Weasley family seemed to be Harry's girlfriend, and he took a closer look at the girl who had been shyly following her mother since they entered the door. The little girl next to her has red hair, a round face, and freckles on her face...it's not as good-looking as he imagined...

He glanced at his son again, Harry was much taller than in the last life, his skin was healthy and ancient, he smiled brightly and cheerfully, he treated people generously and heartily, he was full of the self-confidence that a young man should have and the fearlessness of a newborn calf Sharp——if this kind of Harry still fell in love with Ginny, he only hoped that Ginny would become more beautiful when she grew up. Snape had the sourness of raising a child and being abducted by others.

"So you're going home this time?"

"If it's convenient, I'd like to keep Harry here until the school starts. You know, Hogwarts teachers will return to school on August 8th to prepare for the new school year. Harry's tutor is on leave because of something, and there are no adults at home. Taking care of him, Harry chose the Weasleys over the Blacks and the Weasleys."

The truth is that after hearing the story of his father when he was young, Harry thought that he would not face Sirius and Remus calmly in a short time. Although they had a good relationship with him, Harry's heart was completely biased towards On the father's side, intellectually he could understand that their behavior was due to the immature thinking of teenagers, but he couldn't accept it emotionally, so when Snape said he was going back to school to work, he asked Harry to choose whether to go back to school with him or Looking for a family to stay with until term started, Harry chose the Weasleys over the Blacks.

"Of course, of course, Harry can share a room with Ron, and I will prepare an inflatable bed for him." Mr. Weasley readily agreed, and Ron was also very happy.

After dinner, Snape said goodbye to Harry briefly and then left. At dawn the next day, Harry's school luggage and Hydway were sent to the Weasleys' house. Harry looked at the pile of things in a daze, and he and Dad's summer vacation is over?

He changed into his tracksuit and started his morning run around the Weasleys' house, which was located in the Devon countryside, where the scenery was beautiful and the air was clean.

Surrounded by stretches of farmland and a Muggle village in the distance, Harry ran around a country road, trying his best to keep seeing the Weasleys' house. The Weasleys' house used to be a big stone building The house, but four or five floors were added later, and the added floors did not conform to architectural mechanics at all. If the house was built by Muggles, it would probably collapse halfway through the construction.

His and Ron's room was on one of the added floors...Harry had never slept in such a small room in his life, let alone the noise that would not go away at night and into the wee hours, twins. There are occasional explosions in the room, and every time the explosion sounds, the ghouls on the top floor will keep screaming.

Mrs. Weasley would always come and go, rattling the stairs, and she asked Harry several times if he wanted to add another quilt, whether he was not used to it, and so on.

But Harry slept very soundly that night. This is the feeling of home. Harry silently thought about whether to add a few children to his life plan to adopt with his father, but just think about it, this kind of life is too much. It's challenging.

Harry passed a dilapidated garage on his way back from his morning run, and he saw a few brown chickens eating. When he entered the living room, he noticed the clock on the wall, and every pointer on it said Weasley Names of family members with indications on the dial for school, work, on the road, injury, danger, death, etc.

There were a few books on the bookshelf, about housework magic, the wok in the kitchen was frying vegetables, and the knitting needles were stitching sweaters. Harry felt that everything was novel.

"Did you sleep well, Harry?" Ron came down the stairs. Harry tried to wake him when he was out for a run, but Ron refused to get up.

"Not bad." Harry laughed.

"My house is too small and too messy. It's completely incomparable with yours—even though I've never seen yours..."

"It's really good. My father and I are usually the only ones at home. If the two of us don't talk, it's as quiet as no one in the whole manor." Speaking of which, there are many rooms in the manor, and the two of them are the only owners, plus Lime But there are only three people here, he and his father, if his father is not in the study on purpose, he will take the book to study in the study, and he will go to see the plants with his father in the plant room, and he may not have so much time to stick together. , Thinking of this, Harry blushed a little.

"Manor, your home is a manor—"

"Actually, it's just that there are more rooms. If you are curious, you can spend the summer vacation at my house next year."

"Meet Professor Snape during the summer vacation? No...or not..." Ron shook his head.

"Father is very kind and easy to talk to in private."

"That's for you Harry, that's for you," muttered Ron, sitting at the dining table, "where have you all been traveling?"

"Hmm... I don't know the sea, the sea is very clear, there are no other tourists, and the sand is very soft; in the unknown forest, we rented a small wooden house, and there is a big lake next to the small wooden house, and we have a wooden boat." Harry really didn't know exactly where they were traveling, he was always apparating with his father.

"You are so confused, you don't even know the specific address, so how will you go next time?"

"I can ask my father to take me there again." Harry thought the answer to this question was simple.

After the twins went downstairs, Ron and Harry couldn't simply have a conversation between the two of them. The twins always had endless fresh topics to talk about, and then Percy, who still wore his prefect badge when he was at home, Jin Ni was very curious about Harry and wanted to ask something, but every time Harry took the initiative to talk to her, she was always very shy, and Harry ignored her after a long time.

After breakfast, Mrs. Weasley drove the boys to the vegetable garden to catch goblins. Harry experienced the joy of grabbing goblin hair, spinning them and throwing them out for the first time. .”

"I'd trade all I have for the goblin banishing potion." Ron was tired of chasing goblins, "I bet you they'll be back before dinner."

"Then we'll catch it tomorrow." Harry wasn't bothered about chasing the goblins.

"Don't talk about the goblins, I'll show you some good things." Ron glanced at his watch, it was past ten o'clock, and the whole family, Mrs. Weasley will be preparing lunch in the kitchen at this time, "absolutely good stuff."

Harry's curiosity was aroused, and he followed Ron to the dilapidated garage he had seen before. Ron looked around and saw that there was no figure of Mrs. Weasley, so he opened the garage door. Inside was a car An old Ford sedan.

"Car?" It is definitely rare for a wizard to have a car at home. After all, adult wizards can teleport, ride a broom, and use a fireplace. Most wizards don't like cars as a "slow" means of transportation. Sirius Most of the modification of his motorcycle was because the aggressive appearance of the motorcycle caught his eye. Sirius didn't like the car because it was too smooth and stable.

"Yes, my dad did it secretly. He is fascinated by Muggle things. My mother always said that if my dad searched our house, he would probably go to Azkaban." Very proud, he fumbled here and there on the car, "The twins have driven secretly twice, this car can fly..."

"Can fly?" Cars are nothing to Harry, who was in elementary school in the Muggle world, but being able to fly is very powerful. When Sirius modified his motorcycle, he didn't spend much effort. Ron's father turned out to be Also so powerful.

"It's a pity I can't drive..."

"Muggles can only get a probationary driver's license when they are 16 years old, and then they can have a full driver's license." So it really doesn't matter if we don't drive at our age...

Ron sat in the driver's seat, and Harry sat in the co-pilot's seat. The two boys fiddled with the car for a long time. Harry didn't understand the principle of the car until the end. What he thought was that there should be a car at home. Yes, my father sometimes discusses business with Muggles. In order not to look special, he often rents a luxury car outside. Every time he comes back from the car, he always has an ugly expression. Harry knows that his father is a little motion sick. Nature is different.

"Peng Peng..." Someone knocked hard on the car window on purpose, and Harry saw George's smiling face as soon as he turned his head, "Is our car good?"

"It's really good." Harry praised.

"I'll take you for a drive sometime, is that what Muggles say?"

"Yes, it's a ride."

"Want some candy?" Fred handed over a piece of candy.

"..." Gryffindor students naturally know that they should be very careful about the food handed by the twins. Harry holds it in his hand and eats it or not. ——The twins who offend their narrow-mindedness will be punished sooner or later.

"What a coward." Fred said as he tore off the candy wrapper and stuffed the candy inside George's mouth. George ate it very happily, obviously the candy was non-toxic.

"Let's go, Mom wants us to help set the plates." Even in the summer vacation, the life of the Weasley family is very regular. Breakfast is at 07:30 in the morning, lunch at [-]:[-] noon, and dinner at [-]:[-] pm. Cooperate with Mr. Weasley's commuting time.

"When I get married and move out, I'll have brunch every day." Ron stretched.

"Back then you had to go to work to make money, so you didn't have time for brunch." The twins laughed at him.

The lunch of the British is very simple. The Weasley family has a large population, but they just made more sandwiches and added a beef and bean soup, which is only because Harry is a guest.

Harry didn't remember until he was halfway through eating, "Ron, it seems that I haven't seen your pet mouse this time." Although the mouse has always been despised by Ron, Ron still dotes on it in private.

"It was sick, and my father sent him to the pet hospital. The doctor said that he would be hospitalized. It happened last night. When you and the professor came here, it went crazy. It kept bumping into the cage, and finally knocked itself out. "

"That mouse is already old, and it might die of illness this time." George said with a smirk, but it was Percy who glared at him. By the way, the mouse named Scabbers turned out to be Percy's pet.

"Merlin bless him, he's a good mouse," said Mrs. Weasley, filling Harry with some soup.

43. Draco Malfoy

malfoy manor

Snape, who was supposed to be preparing for the next semester at Hogwarts, was at Malfoy Manor at this time. The Weasleys were having lunch, and Lucius, the head of the Malfoy family, had just woken up and had brunch after washing up.

"Good morning, I didn't know you would arrive so early, what do you want to eat?" Lucius said apologetically, it was already noon without looking outside, and he didn't blush at all.

"Just give me a cup of coffee." Snape sat down nonchalantly.

"You? Coffee? I didn't expect you to degenerate to this point."

"Black coffee, a piece of candy." Snape said to the house-elf, without any intention of speaking, he came out of the Weasley's house, interrogated the mouse all night until now, no matter how concerned about the decency of the British, he still needs a cup of coffee Come refresh yourself.

"Give him a glass of fruit and vegetable juice. Do you have any more apple pie? Have one." Only Lucius dared to change Snape's menu.

"You sent a letter asking me to come, what else can I do besides letting me admire your corrupt life?" Snape didn't say what he wanted to eat, but he didn't want to stay here for a long time.

"It's nothing, I just heard that you have gradually received some short-term investment, and I want to ask." With the help of Malfoy's Tuo Snape, he has gained a firm foothold in the Muggle world, and he has made a lot of money. With his own contacts, Lucius realized how short-sighted he and his ancestors were when they only focused on the wizarding world for so-called pride. The Muggle world is the big treasury.

"I don't have any energy." He is now busy raising Harry, busy teaching at Hogwarts, and busy secretly subverting that person's career. He more or less knows some news about the Muggle world, such as the rise of the software industry and so on. In Xsoft, IBM, and Xwen, he bought a number of original stocks for long-term investment as soon as they went public, saying that it would take several lifetimes. Not exaggerating, not surprisingly, Harry's grandson had enough money to marry a wife.

"I thought you had some inside information."

"You even know the inside information now? It's really a lot of progress."

"I'm a Malfoy." When Lucius first entered the Muggle world, he didn't even know what stocks were, and he didn't even know how Muggles would spend money on things they couldn't see or touch.

"You're not going to stop?" Snape originally thought that Lucius would stop doing it after making a fortune in the Muggle world like his ancestors did. Anyone who dealt with him would keep his mouth shut, which is why Snape only introduced him to the stocks and futures markets where money comes quickly.

"Always arrange an escape route." The contact with the Muggle world also made Lucius understand why Dumbledore was so old that he wanted to fight his life with that person. The trouble in the Muggle world, isolating the wizarding world is not to protect the Muggles, but to protect the wizards. With the current level of technology in the Muggle world, once the wizarding world is exposed, it will be beyond redemption.

Back then, the Death Eaters were making a fuss, and the Irish Republican Army was making trouble in the Muggle world. Many cases committed by the Death Eaters were placed on the Irish Republican Army, which kept the wizarding world's secrets. If Muggles find out... Lucius remembered the Gulf War that several Muggle politicians talked about when he attended the Muggle banquet last night.

"It was only after these years that I realized that Dumbledore's protection of Muggles is false, and it is true that he protects the wizarding world. The reason why the wizarding world exists is because Muggles no longer believe in witchcraft in the world."

"Your thoughts must not be known by that person." Now that Snape has revealed himself, Lucius is the only undercover in the upper echelons of the Death Eaters, "The notebook I mentioned to you last time... "

"Don't worry, my collection is very strict." Lucius smiled, "My Occlumency is no worse than yours, so you don't have to worry, I can only tell you about some things, not even Narcissa." Naxi Sha only knew that the family's business was getting better and the money was increasing, but she didn't know that the money was earned from the Muggle world. Otherwise, with the determination and pride of the Black family, they might even divorce him.

"It's good to keep it tightly." Lucius was rejected by that person in the previous life. The main reason was that he failed to store the notebook well. Snape is not in a hurry to destroy the Horcrux now. He just wants to find the Horcrux slowly. Under his own control, and then gradually figured it out, that person was too clever and cunning, Snape didn't dare to take too big a step.

Neither of the two noticed Draco who was happily running over to greet the godfather because he heard that the godfather was coming...

Draco rushed back to the room, repelling the house elves who wanted to come to serve him, locked himself tightly in the room, found a few expensive gifts his father bought for him, and threw them against the wall.

It turns out...it turns out that my father secretly earns Muggle money with the godfather!He was also brainwashed by Muggles, thinking that Muggles are better than wizards.

Muggle?What is a Muggle, but an ant-like existence that has not been blessed by Merlin, and my father is as close to Muggles as the Weasleys!Draco could already imagine being called a traitor of blood in the Slytherin common room after the wizarding world learned of his father's actions.

If such a humiliating thing happened, he might as well die immediately!

He wanted to tell his mother that his mother would definitely stop his father, but what if he couldn't?With a character that is proud of her mother, she will definitely divorce her father.

Now only Uncle Regulus is left in the Black family, and his power and financial resources have long since deteriorated. Even if his mother took the property and led him to live elsewhere, his life would not return to the way it was before, let alone With the keen eyes and ears of the Daily Prophet, once the parents divorce, they will know about the fact that the father earns Muggle money. No matter what happens to the father, he is still the future master of the Malfoy family. up.

Thinking of this, Draco pulled the teddy bear his father bought for him, which was as tall as a person, and beat it hard, neither this nor that, Draco, who had just turned 12, was about to die of anger.

Blame the godfather!He understood from the outside that it was the godfather who lured his father to earn Muggle money and let his father betray the great Dark Lord. The godfather was the root of the disaster.

He knew that the godfather was of mixed blood. If he wasn't the right-hand man of the Dark Lord and the best potion master in England, his mother wouldn't follow his father's wishes and make him recognize a mudblood as godfather. He didn't expect the godfather to have fallen. It's come to this point!He married a bitch woman, which caused his mother to succumb to that woman, Lily Snape, and made him want to play with that bastard Harry. Finally, Lily died, and the godfather refused to listen to his mother. Suggesting to marry a decent lady from a pure-blood family, I would rather stick to that low-blooded life, completely ignoring how much effort my mother took to find a decent lady for the mixed-race godfather.

If it wasn't for the Dark Lord's disappearance, most of the Slytherin pure-blood families who followed him were hit hard. Either the head of the family or the heir entered Azkaban, and the rest gave most of their wealth to the vampires of the Ministry of Magic in order to avoid crimes. , the upstarts like Snape became very popular, and those young ladies would drive their mother out as soon as they heard what their mother said, even mothers who couldn't make it as a matchmaker were still ridiculed in the upper-class circles.

After all this has passed, Draco still admires the godfather's talent very much. After the godfather became the head of Slytherin, he is even more in awe of the majesty of the godfather. Who would have thought that the godfather is such a person in private.

He thought of Harry who was against him at school, and hated his godfather and Harry even more.

Godfather... no, what was the notebook Snape was talking about?Draco recalled when he was playing in his father's study when he was a child, he accidentally saw an ordinary notebook, picked it up, and was scolded by his father. He had never seen his father get so angry. He had spent all the important documents his father had brought back from the Ministry of Magic, and his father had never been angry with him.

"Dobby, where's the notebook in my father's study?" Draco called to the house-elf.

"Dobby saw the master put the notebook in the safe in the basement, and the little master asked what that thing was doing? That thing was evil and dark..."

"Shut up, who wants you to teach me a lesson, get out." Draco was impatient to hear Dobby's nonsense, and kicked him out directly.

Draco thought carefully in the room, entering the basement of the Malfoy manor was nothing to him, the young master of the Malfoy family, everything in the Malfoy family was only open to Malfoy, the most difficult thing was the safe, which was inherited from the Malfoy family , only the owner has the key, and only the owner's touch can make the keyhole of the safe appear, otherwise, not only will it not be able to open, but it will also receive the most vicious curse.

The more he thought about it, the more he got a headache, so he simply left the room, went to the broom shed to get the newly acquired Nimbus 2001, and flew into the sky.

Draco likes to fly at night, flying towards the stars in the night sky. The warm summer wind blows across his cheeks, which is as gentle as a mother's touch. He relaxes his body and lets the broom float up and down with the airflow, like a bird flying around. fly in the sky.

He walked through the woods and the river, and in front of his eyes were the lights of the Muggle community like the Milky Way. The traffic formed by the Muggle cars was like the flowing water in the Milky Way, beautiful and moving.

Realizing that he actually admired Muggle creations, Draco cursed twice, hating himself for not being able to use a wand, otherwise he would have to smash the galaxy and miss it. He turned his broom and headed back in the direction of Malfoy Manor fly.

The night wind woke him up and calmed down the anger in his heart. After the anger that almost drowned his rationality left, Draco, who was clear-minded, suddenly thought of an idea. He thought he had a way to get the notebook.

After Harry stayed at the Weasleys' house for a week, a letter from Hogwarts arrived at breakfast. Harry frowned as he looked at the list of books on the letter. Written by Lockhart's men?The titles of the books are also so strange, it doesn't look like the title of a textbook but a novel.

Breaking with a Banshee, Hanging with Ghouls, Vacationing with Hags, Walking with Trolls, Sailing with Vampires, Wandering with Werewolves? A Year Together"

"Oh, this man is as much a fan of Lockhart as his mother." Ron exclaimed.

Molly Weasley gave him a sharp eye.

"Lockhart is a great wizard. His "Gideroy Lockhart teaches you how to get rid of household pests" has helped me a lot. He is also the winner of the Witch Weekly's most charming smile award..." mentioned My idol, Mrs. Weasley, chattered like a [-]-year-old girl. If it wasn't for the Weasley family's owl, Piggy, who stumbled in from outside, I'm afraid she wouldn't stop talking until dark, "Anyway, like him There are not many men with both talents and looks." After seeing the piglet, Mrs. Weasley made her concluding remarks.

Ron looked at Harry helplessly. He knew that his words would attract such a long string of saliva from his mother, so he didn't say anything. Harry picked up the drowning piglet from the broth, The owl was small and sleepy, and delivery was too difficult for him, but it was the only owl in the Weasley family.

The letter was sent by Hermione, briefly mentioning her happy summer life - in fact, it was all kinds of reviewing homework and previewing new lessons. Harry and Professor Snape urged her, but Hermione learned it automatically. At the end of the letter, he said that he had received a letter from Hogwarts and decided to go to Diagon Alley on Saturday, and asked Harry to meet Ron then.

This girl is wonderful, Harry and Ron admired again.

Mr. Weasley, who was not seen at breakfast, came back from the outside with a tired look on his face, "I have to go to Malfoy Manor for a quick bite, someone reported that there are dark magic items in the safe in the basement of his house. This is the sixth time I have been to his house this year, Malfoy's house is a hard job."

The author has something to say:

Draco is still cute when he is naughty. The little Draco who smiled evilly when he was a child makes people want to pinch and pinch until he cries.

44. Snake language

Diagon Alley is always exciting, Harry standing in front of the broom shop window staring at the Nimbus 2001, it is really beautiful... Ron can't move, the twins are almost glued to the face The window was on. "When I have money, I must buy a Nimbus 2001." George said.

"Two, one for riding and the other for sleeping," said Fred.

"Do you know how nasty your words are?" said George.

"I know." Fred smirked.

"Should I remind you that Harry and Ron are going to see Hermione and buy a bunch of stuff?" Ginny, 11, puffed her cheeks and kicked the twins' heels. Her vision was blocked from Nimbus 2001.

"Let's go." Harry, who already had the Nimbus 2000, was the first to react, and he pulled the reluctant Ron away.

When they walked near the Lihen Bookstore, they were taken aback. The Lihen Bookstore had never been so overcrowded. When the book list was issued at Hogwarts, little wizards from all over the UK crowded there to buy textbooks. Never.

A group of people packed the bookstore to the brim, and the queue could stretch from Diagon Alley to Canary Harbor. Most of them were adult wizards, both male and female, and most of them were female. Harry suspected that the entire UK All the witches are here, they are dressed in all kinds of clothes, dressed in fancy dress, the smell of various perfumes and cosmetics is mixed together, smoked Harry straight to his nose, Harry saw in the window of the bookstore Several large posters were hung, and on the posters, a blond and handsome wizard kept waving his hands and blinking at the camera, and there was a billboard erected at the entrance of Lihen Bookstore—Girald Lockhart’s autograph session .

"Witches all over England are crazy," said Ron pale, paler when he found Mrs. Weasley at the head of the crowd.

"Even if all the witches in England are crazy, at least Hermione won't..." Harry was talking, when he saw Hermione, who they had been looking for, holding the book in her hands, looking at the bookstore in the bookstore with eyes full of love. The man who signed the sale looked exactly like the one in the poster.

Well, the wizarding world is going to be ruined if even Hermione becomes a groupie.

Mr. Weasley didn't care about this. He was pestering the Grangers with questions about Muggles, and he kept asking what the plug was for.

Harry was bored with the wizarding world where there were so many twins and half-bloods, and the wizarding world where there was so little understanding of Muggle life, until Hermione complained to him that wizards didn't really want to hear how Muggles lived Only then did I realize that there are too few pure-blood wizards as curious as Mr. Weasley, and they are even ashamed of being curious about Muggle life.

"Oh, Ron, there are too many people in the bookstore, isn't it? I forgot to tell you that Scabbers is too old to survive, and Merlin will take care of him. He is a good pet." Mr. Weasley found two The plight of a boy called them aside, and Ron bowed his head when he heard that Scabbers hadn't survived, "But you can go and buy an owl or other pets to replace it." Mr. Weasley said and took out Five Galleons, "Go buy it, maybe there will be fewer people here when you come back."

"Five Galleons?" Ron's eyes widened. "I've never seen five Galleons in my life. Are they all for me to buy pets?"

"Yes, I've got a part-time job, one that pays well, thanks to Harry," said Mr. Weasley.

"what?"

"Car! Professor Snape asked me to modify a car for him. It's a very good model. If I remember well, it was Chrysler. The car was provided by him. He paid 30.00% of the car price for the modification fee. He is really too generous. Almost."

"I think in terms of your knowledge, ability and credit, it is very worthwhile for the father to pay the money." Harry said, he did not expect his father to be so powerful, he just mentioned it a little in the letter.

"But Dad, you have to work."

"There's plenty of time, I just need to finish it before Christmas, there's not much going on in the Ministry lately, since the disastrous search of Malfoy's house, I think I'll be free for a while, but the modified car is a secret, you can't go around Say oh." Mr Weasley gave them both a wink.

"A catastrophic search?" Harry was more interested in a catastrophic search.

"Yes, the basement of Malfoy's house...Merlin bless me, I don't want to go there again in my life. His safe only has gems, gold Galleons and some land deeds. I believe he made the report call himself, just to let the Ministry He made a big fool of himself. He told every reporter how he was framed and harassed. He also claimed that he lost his family treasures during the search, and suspected that every official present was How sloppy, the Ministry is very passive now, very passive."

"I still insist on my statement, Mr. Weasley, you and your colleagues are responsible for the loss of items in my home." The person he was talking about appeared behind him at some point, Lucius. Malfoy, the last time Harry saw him was six or seven years ago, time has been kind to this man, the sharp handsomeness of his youth has mellowed into elegance and nobility, he may not be as tall as you have ever seen The most handsome man, in fact, Lockhart, who showed off his facial features like a peacock in the poster not far from them, is more handsome than him, let alone Sirius Black, who was famous for being handsome in his student days, but he It just has a certain flavor, a charm, a medieval elegance and awe-inspiring spirit lost in time.

"Long time no see, Harry." He gave Harry a slight nod.

"Long time no see, Uncle Lucius." Harry saluted him.

"Draco, say hello to your classmates." Lucius said to Draco who was standing next to him. Draco was wearing a Slytherin school uniform today, but his expression was a bit gloomy.

"Weasley, did you just get your living expenses for this year?" Draco stared at Ron's uncollected Galleon.

"Draco, polite." Lucius raised his chin high.

"Politeness is only for those who deserve it, not blood traitors and mudbloods."

"Yes, politeness is indeed given to those who deserve it." Harry stopped Ron, who was about to pounce on Draco, "Let's go, see you Uncle Lucius, see Mr. Granger, Greg Mrs Ranger, Uncle Weasley."

"Say hello to your father for me." Lucius was obviously not happy about his son's gaffe in front of the crowd, but he was still very tactful in responding to Harry.

"I will, Uncle Lucius."

Ron was still a little bit aggrieved when he arrived at the pet store, "Draco is getting more and more annoying."

"Forget it, let's pick a pet for you." What Harry didn't say was that he felt some kind of danger from Draco, an inexplicable feeling.

The most popular pet in the pet store is indeed owls. Owls of various varieties and colors stand neatly on the bamboo poles of the pet store, waiting proudly for someone to pick them out, followed by cats, those proud creatures are lazily inside the pets. He watched customers and passers-by, then various snakes, toads, swallowtail dogs, and a budgie on the eaves, and some magical creatures that Harry didn't recognize.

"Stupid humans," said a voice.

"What?" Harry looked at Ron, then at the other customers, but no one spoke to him.

"Harry, what's wrong with you?" Ron gave him a strange look.
