Draco stared at Lin Zhen insistently: "It's not how I want you to answer, but what the facts are."

"The truth is," Lin Zhen said in a long tone, "Of course we are not lovers."

Draco couldn't tell what he was feeling.

"I'm relieved." Lin Zhen smiled frivolously, "You really like me."

In the evening, when Tom came back, Lin Zhen was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, reading a book, and Draco was sitting on the bed, flipping through another book.

Tom sat down next to Lin Zhen: "Let's do it."

Lin Zhen rolled her eyes at Tom: "Do you think I'm a beast? He's still a child."

"I was kidding." Tom took it out of his pocket.

Lin Zhen picked it up and looked at it carefully, then turned around and praised Tom: "Not bad, very efficient."

This was the Slytherin locket that was stolen and sold by Mundungus Fletcher.

"Fortunately, Kreacher also knows who stole it." Tom relaxed and leaned on the sofa. "It's not hard to find."

Lin Zhen touched Tom's hair, put down the book, and reached out to open the locket.

Draco lowered his head, pretending not to be interested in Lin Zhen's movements, and only glanced up secretly.

Tom put his hands behind his head and stretched his legs on the table, looking leisurely and at ease.

The locket was opened, and a dark and evil aura came out.

Draco noticed something was wrong and raised his head.

But the two people closest to the locket didn't react at all. Tom even closed his eyes sleepily.

Lin Zhen noticed Draco's gaze, and when Voldemort's soul piece affected Draco, she raised her hand and waved.

Transparent flames flew out of Lin Zhen's hands, wrapped around the locket, and drove Voldemort's soul piece out of the locket.

The flame gradually formed a hollow sphere. Voldemort's soul piece was trapped in the flame, and no evil breath could escape.

Draco touched his arm, smoothing the goose bumps on his arm, and watched helplessly as the flame carried the dark and evil thing back into Lin Zhen's hand.

Draco was startled and opened his mouth to remind Lin Zhen, but hesitated and closed his mouth.

Lin Zhen felt that the energy contained in the soul piece this time seemed to be more than the original one.

"Who did you get the locket from?" Lin Zhen touched Tom with her knee.

Tom closed his eyes and answered slowly: "There is a woman who looks like a toad at the Ministry of Magic."

woman like a toad

Why does this description feel so familiar inexplicably?

"Umbridge" Draco blurted out.

Lin Zhen blinked at Draco before remembering that this woman named Umbridge was the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor forced into Hogwarts by the Ministry of Magic when Harry was in fifth grade.

Well, although it is really not a polite behavior to comment on a woman like this, her appearance and body shape are definitely worthy of the description of "toad".

"The energy of the soul piece has increased." Lin Zhen said, "It seems that this Umbridge is really suitable for Voldemort."

Tom opened his eyes and made a vomiting gesture: "Is it suitable? He is not suitable at all. It's too disgusting."

Lin Zhen slapped Tom back on the sofa: "I'm not talking about you, why are you reacting so strongly?"

Draco saw that Lin Zhen didn't look like she was in any danger, so he lowered his head to read again.

But he couldn't read any of the content in the book, and his ears unconsciously stretched to listen to the movement on the sofa.

Unfortunately, Lin Zhen just picked up the book he had read half-way through and continued to read.

Tom lay beside Lin Zhen, eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking.

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep." Lin Zhen said suddenly.

Draco turned the page in the book in panic.

"Where can I sleep?" Tom raised his eyes, "This is the only room in the whole house that can sleep."

He pouted in the direction of the bed: "The only bed is occupied by your beloved Draco."

Lin Zhen put the book upside down on the table: "The bed is big enough to sleep the three of us."

He stood up and walked to the bathroom, Tom shuffling behind Lin Zhen.

"I'm not used to it," Draco heard Tom say.

"Why haven't I seen you not used to sleeping with me?" Lin Zhen's voice came from the bathroom, accompanied by the sound of running water.

Draco patted his face. In order to avoid being too embarrassed for a while, he put the book on the bedside, lay down, and covered himself with the quilt.

The sound of water and voices became muffled.

Not long after, he felt the bed sinking.

Draco quickly closed his eyes.

There was a person lying next to him, and Draco didn't know whether it was Lin Zhen or Tom.

"I'm worried that I will wake you up tomorrow morning." Draco heard Lin Zhen's voice close at hand.

Beside him was Harry.

Draco's muscles tensed with nervousness.

"Wake up when you wake up." Another weight fell on the bed, this was Tom, "In the worst case, I'll just do some exercise with you."

Draco felt his face turning red again.

"This is really a novel experience," Lin Zhen sarcastically said, "I haven't seen you join in when I'm exercising in such a long time."

Draco was glad no one noticed what he had just thought.

"Bed" said Tom.

The room darkened, leaving only the sound of rustling clothes and quilt sheets.

Draco felt the person next to him pull the quilt down, exposing his covered head.

"Good night." Lin Zhen touched Draco's forehead and said softly.

"I want it too," said Tom on the other side.

"I won't suffer any loss at all." Lin Zhen's voice was full of smiles, "You are such a big person, and you are still arguing with a child."

Draco was sure that Harry and Tom's goodnight kiss was definitely not as chaste as the one he had just received.

"Okay, go to sleep." Lin Zhen patted Tom gently.

There was only the sound of breathing one after another in the room.

Draco turned around, feeling a little sleepy.

This was the first time he had been so close to Harry.

Oh, not counting the time in the Forbidden Forest in the first grade.

No, no, that time when I blocked Harry in third grade doesn't count either.

Think of something else, Draco.

He suddenly disappeared, and he didn't know if his father would be punished by the Dark Lord.

Draco's heart clenched.

There were so many things happening throughout the day that he didn't even have the time to worry about his father.

But now that he thought about it, he was inevitably a little uneasy.

Draco turned again.

In his mind, he pictured his father coming back weak after having his bones cut out by a drill.

Suddenly, he felt a hand caressing his hair.

"Can't sleep?" Lin Zhen noticed the movement around her, stretched out her hand to touch Draco's hair, and asked softly.

Tom snorted and moved his body so that his whole body was pressed against Lin Zhen's body.

Draco remained silent.
