[HP Comprehensive UK and US] Platinum Stark

"You mean, no one has written to you since the holiday?" At the dinner table, Alicia raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of confusion.

This is impossible. Even she received a letter from Granger asking for help with a difficult potion problem. How could Potter be left behind?

This matter was too unbelievable. The girl's Slytherin traits were fully demonstrated at this moment - to protect herself.

There is a second generation Dark Lord in her family. Even if Dumbledore has made a promise, it is not a wise move to interfere in Potter's affairs at this time.

Harry looked a little disappointed. He put down the coconut juice in his hand and said, "Yeah, there's no news even today. I thought..."

They had clearly agreed to write to each other at least twice a week, and what's more, today was a very special day.

Having made her decision, Alicia did not delve further into the reason why Porter did not receive the letter. Instead, she followed the topic and asked, "What's wrong? Is today a special day?"

"Today is my birthday." Harry smiled reluctantly.

Alicia paused as she cut the pastry with her knife, and looked at Tony for help. How should she respond to this? She had no idea.

Tony, give it some strength, it's up to you!

The man who received the signal blinked, indicating that Alicia should be at ease and leave everything to him.

He decisively pressed the service bell, and the waiter who was ready at any time soon came to them. Tony leaned back in his chair and said casually: "Madam, please ask the kitchen to make or order a cake to be sent up. Boy, what flavor do you like? Strawberry? Mango?"

"Mr. Stark, I..."

This time it was Alicia who interrupted Harry. She put down the knife and looked directly into Harry's eyes: "Hey Potter, I mean... Harry? I thought we were friends. After all, I received your Christmas gift. It's okay to eat cake together, right? Or do you not regard me as a friend at all?"

As she said the last sentence, the girl was visibly depressed.

This trick really worked. Harry was surprised and quickly waved his hands to indicate that he didn't mean that.

Oh my God, he never imagined that Alicia Malfoy would sit opposite him and say that they were friends.

Is this really not a dream?

She, she, she is really different from other Slytherins.

"In that case, just agree to one condition of mine. Everything that happened today is our secret, okay? You know, Tony and I both have special identities." Seeing Harry waving his hands and shaking his head anxiously, Alicia took the opportunity to state her real purpose.

This sounded like an excuse made to get Harry to accept their kindness, but it also sounded so reasonable that it was impossible to refuse.

Tony, who was watching the show on the side, tried hard to hold back his laughter. Tsk, Thea was a cunning little clever girl today.

Sure enough, Harry felt that the girl was very thoughtful. He thanked her and shyly agreed to the proposal: "No problem, Alicia, I will keep it a secret, I swear!"

After the incident with the Philosopher's Stone, Harry wanted to express his gratitude to the girl, but there were too many people on the train and the people in the Slytherin carriage did not welcome him. Later, he sent a letter to the Malfoy family but received no response. He thought Alicia didn't want to pay attention to him. Now it seems that he misunderstood.

"So, little boy, have you decided what flavor of cake you want?" Tony, who was standing by, interrupted their conversation in time when he saw Harry's red cheeks.

Little Xia just celebrated her twelfth birthday and is still a child. Why is the little boy opposite her blushing?

No, at this age she should study hard, he wanted to nip any budding desire for Xiao Xia in the bud.

Harry came back to his senses and didn't bother to be polite with Tony. He smiled widely and asked, "How about fruit cake?"

Tony didn't answer him, but turned to look at the waiter. He took out the cash and put it in the latter's hand: "Did you hear what he said?"

Alicia, who has always been good at handling interpersonal relationships, was stuck. In this situation, it was neither reasonable nor moral for Tony to pay.

It looks like she'll have to find an opportunity to treat Tony to a meal.

"Alicia, did you receive my letter?" After a brief silence, Harry took the initiative to ask the question that had been lingering in his mind for many days.

To be honest, the girl didn't want to discuss the "letter" issue with him now.

There was a Riddle at home who duelled with her in the diary all day long - for this reason, she had long ago told the owl that letters from Harry Potter must not be delivered to the bedroom.

She considered it carefully and said, "I didn't receive your letter, Harry. Perhaps the owl was intercepted by Draco? He often does this. Is there something important?"

I'm sorry, brother. I have to push the blame on you.

"No, no, I just wanted to thank you." Harry was relieved and explained with full blood, "It's about, uh, that thing. After all, it's really dangerous."

Even though Harry was talking in riddles, Alicia knew what he was going to say - it was just about the Philosopher's Stone.

The girl didn't really think that she had saved someone. After all, she was the one who tricked Harry into going to the place where the Philosopher's Stone was hidden. Although she rushed out in the end because she felt guilty, this was definitely not a favor.

Just like in the Forbidden Forest, Harry thought she stayed there because she didn't want to abandon him, but in fact, if the Dark Lord had never possessed Quirrell to threaten her, she would have dragged Draco as far as possible.

Alicia was not the only one who figured out the riddle. Tony, who had heard the girl mention it a few times, asked first: "Holdon, let me interrupt, is this about the dark wizard?"

Harry: Alicia is simply an angel. (touched face)

Draco: So I'm the one taking the blame?

Tony: Why is the little boy blushing? Put it out, put out all the little flames of love. The little girl is only twelve years old, what's the point of talking about love?
