[HP] Similar but different

It has been raining for two more days, and Valentine's Day is approaching.The castle was lightly decorated and there was mistletoe everywhere.Ron commented that this was much better than gaudy ribbon garlands in exchange for a big roll eye from Hermione.As for Harry, he figured he wouldn't need it, so he said nothing.

However, not everyone thinks like him.Although Harry didn't have time to think about Wormtail's aftermath, it was clear that everyone remembered it for him - the owls on the breakfast table on Friday said it all.

Now Harry could see how much heat was left over from those two headlines over the winter break.He blushed when he peeled off a piece of pink letter paper that had been passionately pasted to his face and discovered that it was signed by a first-year Gryffindor girl.

Grinning, Ron stopped another tawny barn owl for him. "I knew you'd be popular!" he said triumphantly, unzipping the envelope and waving it in Harry's face. "I can help you choose, Harry!"

Harry's face sank.Ron's words sounded like a joke, but he knew there was seriousness in it. "Thank you, Ron, but no."

"Come on, Ron." Hermione scolded him too. "Are you confident in your Occlumency?"

"Uh..." Ron's expression froze, and his unprepared rebuttal immediately choked in his throat - if Voldemort found out that he was going to find Harry a girlfriend, thinking about it, there would be no good end...

For the umpteenth time, Harry gave Hermione a grateful look. "I should have said that I already have a boyfriend...or a lover."

"Lover is enough for them," Hermione agreed in a low voice.She suddenly opened her eyes wide, her gaze straightened, "Maybe it's too late now?"

Harry heard the change in her tone, and subconsciously turned his head following her gaze - there was a small group of Hufflepuff girls pushing and shoving not far away, and the one in the middle with the gift seemed to be coming to him soon .

If he refused in the Great Hall, the whole school would know within half a day... Harry stood up, saying sorry first in his heart.

Word spread as fast as Harry had expected.In the morning, after the Transfiguration class was over and the three of them were on their way to the Charms classroom, Harry discovered that although he was still the focus of attention, the girl's admiration and the boy's hostility had dropped by more than half.

"Now they're all guessing who the lucky girl is," Ron whispered to Harry quietly, "after all, no one has seen you getting acquainted with any girl other than Hermione."

As boring as this gossip was, Harry would have preferred to know that Ron had finally let go of his suspicions that he and Hermione had anything. "Let them guess," he shrugged nonchalantly, "we won't be at school for long anyway."

This reminded Ron of the exam that was approaching every second, and the joking mood disappeared in an instant. "I doubt we'll ever have time to practice Quidditch," he couldn't help complaining, "we have to do homework until midnight every day!"

"If you can complete the task list I made for you on time, there won't be such a problem." Hermione disagreed.

"But your watch is so full that there is no rest time at all!"

Harry listened half-heartedly to Ron and Hermione arguing over the details of the study schedule, with something else on his mind - huh, lucky girl?Maybe the Dark Lord will be furious when he hears such a title?

But before that, the afternoon Defense Against the Dark Arts class arrived.Today's lesson is the sound-proof spell, which is so difficult that the classroom is full of mourners.Until the bell rang for the end of get out of class, no one had successfully erected a sound barrier around them, not even half a circle.The students are all disheartened, let alone flirting with the professor or showing affection.

"This is really too much," Hermione complained in disbelief as soon as she left the classroom, "I've seen the previous exam papers of the NEWTs, and their requirements are definitely not so high!"

Ron agreed. "Who says it's not?" He paused, seeming to regain some balance, "Since even you find it difficult..." He turned his head, "Harry, what about you?"

Harry dragged himself to the last place. "I..." He was about to speak, but he heard another voice in his head, and he seemed extremely helpless when he spoke again: "He said this is a must-have skill for Aurors."

"He said?" Ron's eyes widened, and he quickly realized that there was only one possibility for "him". "What does it mean?"

Facing the puzzled eyes of the two, Harry paused for a while.When Voldemort finished speaking, his face became even more ugly. "He thinks he's finished teaching all the spells needed for the NEWTs exam. For the rest of the time, he plans to teach something...well, something that really deserves the name of the advanced class."

Upon hearing the news, both Ron and Hermione were dumbfounded.After a long time, Hermione repeated weakly: "Something really worthy of an improvement class?"

"That's right," Harry nodded, his movements were a bit heavy, "Today is the first class... Judging from his tone, it's probably the easiest."

...That's it, or the simplest?

The three of them looked at each other, seeing despair in the eyes of others.

"Ask us by his standards, and no one will be able to graduate!" After a while, Ron swears through gritted teeth.

Harry looked at him, but said nothing.Because he knew that Ron knew as well as he did that others might not need to be too serious, but those who aspired to join the Aurors absolutely had to; Hermione was not to mention it.

So after a while, Ron's indignation turned into resentment. "I've got a bad hunch," he said, limp and dry in the throat, "our Defense Against the Dark Arts class is going to be more difficult than your Occlumency tuition soon."

"I don't think so." Harry's tone was even dryr than his.

"What?" Hermione asked immediately, "Could it be that your tutoring also..."

Harry nodded again, much harder than before. "Although in the end he only explained about tutoring tomorrow, I doubt that the content is no longer pure Occlumency."

Ron was stunned for a long time. "But tomorrow is Valentine's Day! Although you are not a...couple in the ordinary sense," he swallowed with difficulty, and couldn't help but glance at Harry, muttering, "But it's still..."

This was the first time Ron had said they were a couple, and Harry should have been pleased.But now he doubts even more whether the Dark Lord, who can scare off the students with a difficult spell before Valentine's Day, really knows what an ordinary Valentine's Day is like.

His concerns soon proved to be well-founded.

The next afternoon, Harry arrived at the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office on time.As soon as he opened the door, he found that today was completely different from before—the room that was always empty was filled at some point, with books row upon row and medicine bottles everywhere.He also noticed that the picture frame was back on the original wall, but it was still empty.

"...why?" he asked, taking a little luck that these changes had nothing to do with him, "you finally plan to move to the school?"

Voldemort was flipping through a thick tome in front of the bookshelf. Hearing this, he gave Harry a meaningful look, but didn't answer directly. "Our tasks today are heavy." He closed the book and put it back on the shelf. "I need you to list your recent study progress in detail."

Both the content and tone of the words reminded Harry of Hermione, and Hermione was usually bad when she associated studies. "Have you been a professor for a long time?"

"What are you wary of, Harry?" Voldemort asked rather amused.

"No," Harry denied immediately, pulling up his chair and sitting down, "but it doesn't make me feel good when you say that," he said honestly.

Voldemort raised an eyebrow. "Or do you want me to ask your other professors?"

The voice was soft, but there was a sense of threat in the words, and Harry couldn't help but stare. "You don't really want to turn Occlumency cram into..." Auror classes?

"Not really," Voldemort couldn't help laughing, and apparently read Harry's meaning behind, "I just have a new idea—" he drew his voice slightly, "you will come here to study in the evenings and weekends from now on."

...study here?Studying under the noses of portraits?

Harry suddenly remembered the homework writing process that he remembered deeply in the fifth grade, but he really didn't want to go through it again.He also realized at the same time that dying struggles are useless; there are no crowns, but portraits. "Do you also think I can't pass the Auror exam?" He was a little skeptical, looking around, "So come up with these things?"

"Actually," Voldemort pursed his lips rather disapprovingly, his eyes following Harry around, "quite the opposite."

Harry opened his mouth, and then acutely realized that what the other person really meant was that he was bound to become an Auror under this arrangement. "Why? You suddenly..." He became more suspicious.

"If you still remember the relationship we should have in the eyes of everyone," Voldemort said, with a relaxed tone, "then you should know that it is boring if the enemy is too weak."

...the enemy is too weak?he?

Harry was instantly annoyed. "Are you saying that you plan to cultivate a strong enough enemy?" He deliberately bit down on the pronunciation of "enemy".

"Approximately?" Voldemort replied, still very lightly.Seeing Harry glaring at him, he smiled and changed his words politely: "It's actually a bargaining chip."

This piqued Harry's curiosity, and he didn't bother to accuse Voldemort of trying to amuse him. "Chips? What are they for?"

Voldemort tapped the bookshelf nonchalantly. "Do as I say, and you'll understand later."

Domineering Dark Lord!

Harry couldn't help cursing, and at the same time guessed whether the chips were used to convince Sirius.After all, Sirius had such an ugly face at the end... But he could easily foresee that Voldemort would not answer this question, so he asked instead: "What about my gift?"

He thought the other party would be stunned for a moment, but——

The Dark Lord showed a perfect eight-toothed smile that couldn't find any flaws. "Didn't I just give it to you?"

The answer was so righteous and righteous that Harry froze.When I reacted, the feeling turned into crying without tears.Although he has never experienced a beautiful Valentine's Day that can be remembered seriously, no one's Valentine's Day gift is ordered to study hard and must be admitted to the Auror, right?
