Harry Potter: Reunion with the Enemy

"I thought you would stop me from continuing this prank." Alex and Harry whispered at the small table next to the dance floor. He swirled his potion-laced wine glass and kept an eye on Draco who was waiting for his chance on the other side of the room. "You won't be mad about him?"

"According to the current situation, it is very likely that you will not be able to complete the task all night, let alone let Draco accompany you to fulfill your wish of the big duck chase scene." Harry's eyes stayed on the four or five people who were surrounding Andre in the distance. They were chatting happily. Rather than directly praising a person, an important way to quickly get closer to others is to attack the common enemy. These people who were surrounding Andre were obviously denouncing the same political enemy together.

"How long has it been? It seems like I've been sneaking out for a long time." Alex couldn't help but yawn. "If I call him out alone, Andre will definitely be very alert. Even my dad is very careful every time he talks to him." Alex felt that the suit he wore today made him a little tight. The soft light of the ball shone on his brown hair, leaving a small shadow. Alex still had a little baby fat on his face. Although he looked casual and unfocused most of the time, he was still a child who knew nothing about the world to outsiders.

"All we can do now is to trust Draco." Harry sat as elegantly as possible in his evening gown. The sounds of groups of middle-aged men chatting and laughing in the distance pierced Harry's ears as accurately as steel needles, but his identity as Mrs. Malfoy at the moment prevented him from acting rashly.

Most of the music played at this dance was classical music. Although the level of the invited musicians was much higher than Alex's, it was hard not to feel boring after listening to them for a long time.

Alex...Alex...

"Why do I seem to hear someone calling your name?" Harry recognized a shrill and urgent voice among the music and conversations around him.

"Me?" Alex shook his head disapprovingly. "Who would look for me—"

Harry focused his attention and realized that he had heard it correctly. A woman's voice gradually became clearer with each repetition.

"I know, it's Mom! She might have found out that I sneaked away." Alex stood up quickly and looked for the source of the sound. "She must be very worried now."

Harry naturally remembered Lena Forsyth, the woman who had recruited Draco and Harry as a tutor. Although the family might have been mentally unstable under the influence of goblin products at the time, this lady was undoubtedly the one in the worst condition.

"Usually when she's anxious, she becomes a little hysterical." Alex forced a smile and waved to his mother in the distance, whispering to Harry, "All I have to do now is listen to her quietly."

"Why did you disappear without saying a word - Dad is not here - it's so late - there are so many people at the party -" Lina's hair looked a little messy, and her face was distorted because of her out-of-control emotions. Her voice unconsciously became very high, and the small circle of people around her were attracted by her and became quiet.

"I'm sorry, Mom." Alex admitted his mistake obediently.

"What's in your hand? How old are you? You can't drink now!" Lina was almost about to scream. She had forgotten that she was in a public place and it was as if she was just scolding her child at home.

Lena snatched the wine glass from Alex's hand and looked around the child with suspicion to see if anyone deliberately taught the child to drink. She directly ignored Harry, who was Mrs. Malfoy, and immediately concluded that this was Alex's private decision.

"That's too much!" Lina's voice became harsh.

Alex saw the glass of wine laced with potion being raised and he became flustered. "I didn't drink it, I didn't drink it. I'm pouring it out now."

The commotion here finally alarmed others, and a tall figure appeared behind Lina.

"What happened? This is Mrs. Forsyth. We met her last time on the hunt." Andre's height of 1.9 meters almost surpassed that of everyone else in the audience.

"Oh..." Lena seemed to finally come to her senses when she saw a large group of people following Andre, and her voice returned to normal. "Sorry, I lost control of my emotions when I saw Alex secretly pouring himself a drink--"

"Oh?" Andre's eyes shifted to the wine glass in her hand.

Alex quickly followed his mother in apologizing, "I didn't drink it. Look, the glass is still full."

"I'm sorry to disturb everyone's interest--" Lina began to realize how many eyes she had attracted.

Andrei smiled and took the wine glass from Lina. "You should wait until you are an adult before drinking, my future little gentleman. Don't make your mother angry. I'll keep this glass of wine for you."

Andre said, raising his glass and taking a sip, and motioning to Alex and Lena, "Have fun."

It was hard to tell whose expression was uglier, Alex or Harry. How long did the love potion take to take effect? ​​Harry thought quickly.

Harry stood up from his seat and ran towards Draco with a pale face.

"Why do you look so bad?" Draco was annoyed because he couldn't give Andre Veritaserum among a bunch of Muggles. "Do you want to take a rest?"

"Love potion, yours." Harry said breathlessly, pointing at Andre who took another sip of wine. I guess the potion also exudes a smell he likes. "Hurry up and find a way to detoxify him."

"What--what?" Draco looked like he had just eaten a Dementor alive.

"Love potion, this much, yours." Harry gestured with his fingers, and he saw out of the corner of his eye that Andre took another sip.

Draco looked as if he had seen a ghost for a few seconds, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Really?"

"Hurry up and get the potion box to detoxify. He will be chasing you soon." Harry looked like he was going crazy.

Draco shook the glass of truth serum in his hand and walked towards Andre, who looked at Draco with increasingly eager eyes.

"You are so handsome, Mr. Malfoy." The potion seemed to be gradually taking effect in Andre's body.

Draco looked at the person in front of him carefully and saw that he didn't behave in a strange way for the time being. It seemed that he was sure that the love potion was working. Draco turned around and rolled his eyes at Harry.

"I have a glass of good wine here, would you like to try it?" Draco took the opportunity to hand the glass to Andre.

"It's an honor. Mr. Malfoy gave me the wine, of course..." Andre drank it all in one gulp. "Do I have the honor to invite you to take a walk in the moonlight-"

Harry looked almost faint from shock.

"That's a good idea... I can take this opportunity to ask for clarification." Draco pulled Andre out the door, waving his hand and telling the others that he had something urgent to discuss alone. He whispered to Harry, "Don't act like you're the only one who knows how to deal with suitors - go home and tell me who you originally wanted to use this potion on."
