Harry Potter: Reunion with the Enemy

"No, in fact you need to do these by yourself." Draco smiled politely and persuaded.

The Forsyths. Tutoring sessions in progress.

For the fifth time, Alex pushed the homework book in front of Draco with the excuse of "Mr. Malfoy, I can't do this." Then he watched Draco finish the questions for him without any intention of asking for the homework book back.

After only an hour of trying to teach Alex, Draco realized that if he carried out the rest of the tutoring activities completely at Alex's pace, his ultimate role would evolve into that of a ghostwriter.

"Come on, think about the general idea of ​​how to solve this problem. If you don't understand, I'll teach you." Draco dragged the homework book between the two of them, trying to break the deadlock where he was the only one doing it.

Alex was a typical child who was brought up under the Muggle elite education path. Draco and Harry were horrified to find that this teenager's schedule might be even busier than that of a senior political official.

In addition to the regular school time, Alex's after-school schedule is filled with instrument lessons, intermittent competition schedules, group trips, social activities, and now math classes and sports training.

"Alex's schedule is too full, so the weekly squash training will be scheduled at 6 a.m. and the math class will be scheduled at 8 p.m." Lena Forsyth rubbed her hands nervously, obviously she didn't think she would get any rejection from the two new tutors.

In fact, Harry and Draco obeyed the arrangement without any struggle. In order to avoid temporary mistakes as much as possible, the two went in and out together every time. That is to say, their work time was six o'clock and their get off work time was ten o'clock every day.

"Merlin's wardrobe, getting up at six in the morning to practice squash. Even Wood isn't that ruthless." Harry sighed. In order to maintain his identity as a professional coach, Harry had just spent a huge amount of money to buy expensive squash equipment. Just one racket cost nearly two hundred pounds, and the already limited mission funds became even more tight.

"Won't I fall asleep in my homework book if I start learning math at 8 pm?" Thanks to the help of Bafe's brain wakener and time converter, Draco has already memorized the teaching content, but he is quite dissatisfied with this time arrangement. 8 pm is usually Draco's comfortable night reading time.

"Thank Hogwarts for giving me so much time to bask in the sun on the lawn." Harry began to recall what he was doing when he was this age.

"Let's be realistic, the food at Hogwarts is much better than here," Draco said, thinking back to his recent disappointment at a Muggle fast food restaurant.

The main goal of approaching the Forsyth family this time has been made clear. The first is to recover the silver sword "Sword of Damocles" hanging in the reception room as a decoration. Before approaching it, it is necessary to find out what kind of hidden influence it has, because the last time Harry approached it, the test mirror he carried with him suddenly sounded an alarm. Generally, this kind of mirror will only trigger a warning prompt when approaching dark magic.

After writing to Hermione, Harry, combined with the case of the "Hope Diamond", was more convinced that this goblin product was not that simple. The second was to get close to Matthew and get in touch with more core figures through his joining a more hidden and mysterious men's club.

Matthew doesn't spend too much time at home. Although Harry's squash class and Draco's math class are both after Matthew's get off work time, he has only passed by him a few times.

"Since I helped him with so much homework, I must get some valuable information out of Alex." At 10:30 pm, the two hurried back to the apartment after finishing math class. Draco changed into satin pajamas and held the candy that Lina gave him when they left, thinking deeply.

Although Draco promised to sleep downstairs in the two-story apartment when he moved, in fact he would spend the last minute upstairs every day before running downstairs to sleep.

"Well... have you ever felt that Alex has obvious lows in his mood? It seems that when he is happy, he likes to communicate and talk nonstop, but when he is unhappy, he says nothing." Harry recalled his feelings after several contacts.

"That's right, his happy mood is so fleeting, which is totally unlike the state a child should be in." Draco nodded in agreement.

"But I wouldn't be happy if my whole day was packed." As a participant in the first class in the morning and the last class in the evening, Harry can relate to this.

"He always tries to push his homework onto me. It seems that the tutor his mother hired for him was driven away by this. Is this considered cheating?" Draco reluctantly guided Alex to finish a page of questions by himself today.

"Let's be practical, we can call this a collaboration." Harry couldn't help laughing.

Draco soon accidentally found a way to coax Alex into talking more.

This boy, who often appears very tired and lazy about everything around him, has an extraordinary passion for alcohol.

When Draco and Harry were chatting casually about the bars around them during the break in tutoring, Alex, who had been silent for a long time and had been trying to hint to Draco to help him finish his homework, suddenly became full of energy.

Alex took the initiative to join the conversation and began to give detailed reviews of the surrounding bars. He was familiar with some of the cocktails that were innovative in shape and presentation.

"The Glitch - lots of orange juice and vodka, with a sharp, sticky taste, like there's a corkscrew on the end to drill holes."

"Merlin's... I remember that underage drinking is not allowed." Harry waited for Alex to finish his rambling and raised this point carefully.

"My dad doesn't care about that. The clubs he takes me to are all full of successful people, and they drink, too," Alex said with a little pride.

Draco hadn't expected Alex to take the initiative to mention the existence of this powerful club.

"Great, then how do we join in? We also want to try what you said." Draco quickly showed his approval, and tried to find out indirectly how to get closer.

"You need the recommendation of two members, and the annual membership fee is 20,000 pounds. Every time I go to the summer parties there, I can drink the best quality wine." Alex looked fascinated, as if he was immersed in the good days of the past.

Draco and Harry exchanged a look.

Invitation-based - this in turn places higher demands on their ability to get close to Matthew and maintain a relationship with him.

As if he had keenly sensed the two tutors' interest, Alex waved his hand and said, "Maybe my dad can take you along."

Draco raised his eyebrows, but before he could say the rest of his words, Alex pushed the homework book in front of him again.

"Mr. Malfoy, I don't know the answer to this question either."
