HP Polar Night

Before school started, Agares and Draco, accompanied by the Malfoys, went to Diagon Alley to buy textbooks for the new semester.According to the practice of changing a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor every year, Professor Quirrell last semester has been turned into fly ash, which has maintained this tradition very well, and Hogwarts is about to usher in a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

From the textbook list for the new semester, it can be easily seen that the new professor must be this Gilderoy Lockhart.The book list is filled with a row of his own books, which really makes people wonder if he is taking this opportunity to sell.

They chose a bad day to go out. Since Lockhart held a book signing event at Lihen Bookstore, Diagon Alley, which was already crowded, was squeezed out on this day.

Narcissa took Agareth to Gringotts. During the summer vacation, his father, who was imprisoned in Azkaban, asked the Ministry of Magic to deliver a transfer agreement.Sirius Black's uncle, Alphard Black, once left him a small treasury, and Sirius authorized the transfer of this small treasury to Agares.

Although he didn't pass the Black family to him, judging from this matter, it seems that the other party is still willing to recognize this son.

Regarding matters within the Black family, although Narcissa is married, as a Black, she still has the position to help her nephew Agares with related matters.It was inconvenient for Malfoy and his son to participate, so the troops were divided into two groups.

Draco followed Mr. Malfoy to a dirty and dark alley adjacent to Diagon Alley, which is the famous Knockturn Alley in the wizarding world, the world of dark wizards and black magic.

They went straight into the largest shop in Knockturn Alley, Borgin Bock, which specialized in buying and selling items of black magic.Lucius came here on purpose to deal with some of the confiscated items in his home.

"Don't touch anything here, Draco." Lucius warned his curious son, then turned around and rang the bell on the counter.

"I thought you were going to buy me a gift." Draco lazily looked at the things on the shelves around him, as if he was looking at which one was more suitable for him.

Lucius pressed his finger on the counter and said, "You will have a gift, a broomstick for competitions, but not these."

Draco didn't seem happy with the broom proposal, he said angrily: "What's the use of having a broom, last year Harry Potter got a Nimbus 2000, he was chartered into the academy team, not because He is the savior and has a bit of fame, so let me tell you how worthy he is."

"Pay attention to your words and deeds, Draco, I think I have already reminded you to have a good relationship with that boy, at least maintain a superficial friendship. I guess, you have already taken my words as a deaf ear, right?" Lu Xiu Adams glanced at his son.

At this moment, a hunched man appeared behind the counter and interrupted the conversation between the father and son. "Good day, Mr. Malfoy, ah, and Master Malfoy, welcome."

Lucius turned his face to communicate with the shopkeeper, and Draco muttered a few words: "Being friendly to Potter is much harder than teaching trolls to dance. I'm not Agares."

He didn't know that the protagonist they were talking about was hiding in a black cabinet in the house at the moment, listening to their words verbatim.

Harry originally came to Diagon Alley with the Weasleys to do some shopping today, but something happened when he was using Floo powder. He choked on the dust in the fireplace, causing him to mispronounce the place name and come to this strange place.When he tried to go out, he happened to see Malfoy and his son preparing to come in. In order not to meet them face to face, he had to find a cabinet to hide in.

Draco left his father, who was haggling with Mr. Borgin, to walk around the store, looking at the merchandise on display.Harry looked out through the crack in the cabinet door, trying not to make any noise.

"Can you show me that?" Draco spotted a withered human hand on the mat.Mr. Bokin introduced: "The hand of glory, after inserting a candle, only the person holding it can see the light, it is the best friend of thieves and robbers!"

Lucius looked very dissatisfied with Bokin's introduction and Draco's eyes, but Draco said: "Maybe Agares would like this, he always likes to run out at night, if there is this, it will not Will be found out at night."

"I'm afraid he doesn't need it, Draco, a person who learned the Disillusionment Charm in the second grade, which is only learned in the upper grades, doesn't need these things. If your grades are still like this, I'm afraid you will need to buy it soon." Lucius smirked.

Draco retorted, "That's because the professors prefer Hermione Granger..."

"Not even a girl from a non-wizard family. I want you to be ashamed of yourself first."

Draco was ashamed and annoyed: "When I go back to Hogwarts, I will ask Agares to make up for me!"

"Wise decision, I hope you don't waste the opportunity and time of being in the same room with your cousin, if you can learn half of him, my mother and I will be happy for you, Draco."

Harry couldn't help straining his ears to listen more closely to the brief argument between the Malfoys, as it involved his dark-haired friend Agareth Black.Although he already knew about the relationship between Agares and the Malfoy family, this was the first time he heard their evaluation and attitude towards Agares from Malfoy.

Don't want to admit it, but it sounds like they're both treating Agares pretty well.

Malfoy must have recognized Agares very much for his son to learn from him, but Malfoy Jr. actually lived with Agares.

Harry thought of what happened during the summer vacation, and a trace of displeasure appeared inexplicably in his heart.

Agares is such a friendly person, and he is actually related to the Malfoy family. It would be great if he and Draco Malfoy could change their cousins.Both are cousins, Agares and Dudley are simply worlds apart.

After agreeing to pick up the goods at Malfoy Manor tomorrow, Lucius led Draco out of Borgin-Bock shop.After the shopkeeper entered the back room, Harry waited a while longer before emerging from the cupboard in which he was hiding and leaving the shop.

When he got lost in the street full of black magic shops, Hagrid who happened to pass by took him out in amazement.Hagrid explained to him how dangerous Knockturn Alley was and forbade him to set foot there again.

After reuniting with Hermione and Ron, Harry shared with them the news that he met Malfoy and his son in Knockturn Alley and that Malfoy was reselling dark magic items.

Ron's father, Arthur Weasley, was working at the Ministry of Magic, and he had been working on getting Lucius Malfoy his way.It's a pity that Malfoy is too cunning, and it's almost impossible to catch their evidence.

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Harry and the others unexpectedly met Malfoy and his son again.At that time, they were buying books in Lihen Bookstore, and Harry was caught by Gilderoy Lockhart to take pictures. At the signing meeting, Lockhart announced that he had been hired as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.

Harry forwarded the complete set of books that Lockhart had given him to Ginny, the youngest of the Weasleys, who was going to school this year.

While at Gringotts, he had seen the Weasleys' vault, which was almost empty.He knew the Weasleys weren't rich, and even Ron had been using his brother's old wand all along.A complete set of Lockhart's books would obviously cost a lot of money, which was a lot of money given that the Weasleys currently had five children at school.

It was at this point that Draco stepped out from behind the bookshelf and taunted Harry for his pushy behavior.

It was originally just a quarrel between little wizards, but after Lucius Malfoy and Arthur Weasley faced each other, it turned into a live fight.

Today is indeed a bad day.

When they were separated by Hagrid, Harry saw his familiar friend Agares walking into the shop with another blond lady on his arm.The lady let out a low exclamation when she saw Lucius' distressed figure, and hurried over.

Agares' face was also full of surprise, he looked at the opposing sides, and then stood beside Draco under Harry's gaze.Because of this action, Harry caught Draco Malfoy giving him a few smug glances.Draco obviously knew about the friendship between Agares and Harry, but at a critical moment, how could a friend compare to a blood relative.

"What's going on here?" Narcissa asked in a low voice.

Lucius cleared his throat slightly embarrassed. "It's nothing, let's go." His eyes were still red and swollen from being hit by the book, and he looked a little funny.

The Malfoys left the bookstore, and Agares joined them.

There's nothing more frustrating than seeing your best friend side by side with the person he hates the most.Harry's biggest wish at the moment is to be able to exchange cousins ​​with Malfoy.Swapping Dudley to him, it happened that the two of them had such similar personalities, the same defiant, arrogant.

Hermione's parents knew Agares and Harry, and they visited Granger's house many times during the summer vacation.After leaving the bookstore, Harry heard Mrs. Granger asking Hermione who was fighting with Mr. Weasley just now, and why Agares was standing with them.

For this question, Hermione can only explain that Agares' parents are not here, the Malfoy family is his closest relatives in the wizarding world, and Mrs. Malfoy is his aunt, so now Agares' guardianship is in Malfoy. Fujia.

Mrs. Granger has always liked Agares. After seeing Mr. Malfoy's behavior, she was very worried about Agares, thinking that he would not be able to live happily in such a family environment.

Harry found himself agreeing more with that, the mere imagining of being related to Malfoy was repulsive enough.

Unfortunately, the choice is not in their hands.

That was Agares' own choice.

The author has something to say:

Re-reading the original book, I found that when Malfoy talked about Hermione, he described it as being from a non-wizard family
