[HP] Similar but different

After eating, the three of Harry left the auditorium.There was still a little time before Potions class, and they walked out of the castle, found an empty beech tree by the lake, and continued their discussion.

"...I still don't understand," Ron murmured, holding his chin, staring unfocusedly at the tentacles of the giant squid floating on the lake in the distance, "what can we do? Since he didn't let us buy one textbook?"

During the summer vacation, Hermione discovered this as soon as the Hogwarts book list arrived. "In a good way, he knows more than books; as for a bad thing, maybe he didn't intend to teach anything at all." She analyzed pertinently.

Harry thought that was true. "Anyway, we'll find out tomorrow," he said. "What do you think of Hagrid's suggestion, Hermione? You seemed to be about to say something just now?"

"Oh, yes." Hermione nodded, "I think Hagrid is very wise this time - that name is too special, there is no other word for it." She ventured to guess, "Maybe the Death Eaters can cast a spell on that name." A spell so they know who's against them?"

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and then Ron gave a look of congratulation. "It's a good thing I never said," he murmured, and asked again, "If the Death Eaters got the list, what would they do next? Remove the nails secretly?"

This stumped Hermione. "They haven't heard anything in a year, and it's too forced to judge," she said, looking at Harry.

Harry wished he could answer that question, but he couldn't. "I don't know...I haven't sensed what he was thinking for a long time." He paused, "Also, Malfoy and the others..."

"I guess they know more than we do about the Death Eaters' movements," said Hermione, puckering her lips in disgust. "They have someone in their family, after all. But when it comes to the Dark Mark—" She paused , the tone became serious, "All I can say is, I hope your guess is wrong, Harry."

Harry shrugged nonchalantly. "I hope I'm wrong too, but I'm afraid Malfoy hopes less so."

The three chatted about something else before returning to the castle.Before entering the dungeon, they met Malfoy and the others unexpectedly, and got the same handy eyes as before.

Ron was burning with anger.He stared at Malfoy viciously until he sat down. "Who does he think he is?" he muttered, speaking loudly on purpose.

Hermione patted his arm hastily. "Don't forget that this is Snape's class," she reminded. "No matter what we do, Snape will think it's our fault."

Thinking of point deduction and confinement, Ron calmed down a little, but he still stared in that direction angrily. "It's fine if he sees me that way! But he still sees you that way, Hermione!"

Hermione was taken aback. "Oh, Ron..." She was a little moved, as if she didn't know what to say.

Harry originally wanted to say that the more arrogant Malfoy was, the more likely he was already a Death Eater, but seeing this scene, he silently shut his mouth.

Soon, Snape appeared.He was still the same, his greasy hair parted to the sides.Seen up close, his sallow complexion seemed to be turning blue; but his sarcasm and ridicule towards Gryffindor was as usual, and Harry was still the main victim.

In this case, it was predictable that Harry's potions didn't do very well.But he didn't care about his results at all, because he accidentally looked up in the middle of stirring the potion and saw Malfoy making an indifferent face to Snape—

This was really strange; hadn't they played with him less often in the past six years?Has it changed after a summer vacation?

Harry felt that Malfoy's becoming a Death Eater and Snape's fall from grace with Voldemort was definitely a strong reason for this to happen.However, is it true that Snape fell out of favor because of what Hermione said, being an insider of the Order of the Phoenix?

Although Defense Against the Dark Arts class has not been attended yet, Harry's head is already filled with various question marks.By dinner time, Voldemort still hadn't appeared.He was suffocating and scratching his stomach, all his thoughts were on the plan of how to get the news he wanted from Voldemort, and he couldn't eat it at all.

After eating, Hermione planned to go to the library, and Ron immediately said that he would go together.Harry was thinking about other things, and declared that he had to go back to the dormitory first.As soon as they were out of sight of each other, he ran up the stairs at a quick trot.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and the professor's office are on the third floor.Harry arrived in no time, but before actually making it to the professor's office, he realized that he didn't have the pass code - Voldemort would surely have locked the room himself.

If he knocked on the door three times in a proper manner, would the Dark Lord be willing to invite him in?

Harry thought the chances of this happening were slim to none.Instead, he is more likely to be rejected outright.Or maybe Voldemort wasn't in it at all.After all, the purpose of the Dark Lord entering Hogwarts has nothing to do with teaching and educating people, does it?

After a considerable thought struggle, Harry finally decided to check the situation first.He was familiar with the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, and he knew the style of almost every professor; but now, staring at the ringed silver snake doorknob with heads at each end that snapped into each other, he found himself, with great disappointment, guessing. correct--

How to open this thing, can snake language work?

No one was around, so Harry lowered his voice and tried.However, the double-headed silver snake remained motionless.He had to guess that after the exposure of the fake locket and the portrait in the Room of Requirement, Voldemort had - quite predictably - taken a new approach to secrecy.

Harry resolutely tried to open the Alahoo hole, but the silver snake still didn't respond.For a moment, he really wanted to kick the door; but considering the possible consequences, he didn't do that, and could only turn around and leave angrily.

Just when Harry walked to the entrance of the corridor again, he suddenly caught a slight female sob on the tip of his ear.He turned his head suddenly, and the ghostly pearly white figure flashed away from the wall.She has long hair and a long dress, which seems to be Lady Gray from Ravenclaw.

The corridor on the left-hand side of the third floor leads to the prize showroom, and no one usually goes there.Ms. Gray might just be passing by, but why was she crying?

Oddly enough, Harry touched it while subconsciously walking lightly.Turning the corner, he saw the person he was looking for by the window at the end of the corridor.The setting sun had already set, and the dim orange light created a silent tall and thin silhouette for the man.

Harry felt that there was little movement, and Voldemort didn't respond, but he didn't doubt that the other party had spotted him. "I saw a ghost leave here," he said, picking a relatively safe beginning, "what happened to her?"

Voldemort seemed to wake from his contemplation. "You want to know? Then I suggest you ask her." He turned his head, his eyes sparkling with the last ray of light before the night.

The half-hidden face in the shadow was even more handsome and upright, and there was a reason for his classmates' enthusiasm... Harry was a little distracted, but he quickly reminded himself to calm down. "Related to you?" He asked cautiously, walking over slowly.

Voldemort raised his eyebrows slightly.He stared at Harry approaching, not to say that he was not interested. "What?" he asked, slightly mocking, "Is the ghost's physical and mental health also covered by the halo of the savior now?"

Harry had to admit that Voldemort was as good as ever when it came to pissing him off with a single sentence. "I don't know," he countered immediately, a little sharply. "The Dark Lord doesn't even let ghosts go now?"

Voldemort smiled lightly, but made no sound. "Maybe I am," he said, calmly, not at all annoyed, "but I thought you'd have something more exciting coming to me."

"When you said something more exciting, you didn't mean you're standing here now, did you?" Harry retorted again, growing resentful that Voldemort knew exactly why he had come.

This time, Voldemort actually laughed out loud. "Of course not," he replied tactfully. "When I say something more exciting, I mean we're standing here together."

Harry felt that this should echo the previous sentence "I came for him". "Let's be honest," he stopped when they were still a few steps away, crossed his arms, and stared suspiciously at the man in front of him, "Why on earth did you come back to school?"

"Didn't Dumbledore tell you?" Voldemort asked, but his tone was firm.

"You want to find a powerful force you don't know? In Hogwarts? On me?" Harry threw three questions in succession, and then the last and most important one-"That's not true ,right?"

"Why don't you believe it?" Voldemort spread his hands, seemingly helpless.

"Why are you trustworthy?" Harry followed without a pause.

This time Voldemort did not answer immediately.He stared at Harry without blinking, and after a long while, he said slowly, "Actually, it's not me that you don't believe, but yourself."

"...What did you say?" Harry was taken aback and almost jumped up, "Stop talking nonsense!"

"There are only the two of us here, why don't you admit it?" Voldemort said softly, still staring at Harry for a moment, "The prophecy says that you have powers that can conquer me that I don't know about; Dumbledore also told you , you have all the energy in a room in the Department of Mysteries, and I have none of it. But the problem is, not only did I not discover it, but you did not discover it yourself."

Harry opened his mouth to refute, but froze.

"And you're still worrying about your position," said Voldemort again, in a softer voice, like some kind of hidden charm, "if one must die at the hands of the other, you'd be willing to sacrifice yourself for the other, After all, your death means that a part of me is dead; however, you are not sure whether your sacrifice will bring about the final success, because you don't know where my other Horcruxes are."

While furious, Harry realized, not surprisingly, that he had been completely seen through. "You can't..." Don't you need Legilimency?He gritted his teeth, so angry that he could hardly speak the words behind him.

Voldemort clearly knew what Harry was trying to say. "Even you have to admit that this kind of communication is much more efficient." He replied with a look of disapproval. "Besides, isn't that what you want me to know? Your—determination?" He drawled.

"I have this determination, but not in such an unreasonable way! It's not efficient at all!" Harry couldn't help but objected loudly.

Voldemort curled his lips almost imperceptibly. "The process is not important, the important thing is the result." He took two steps towards Harry, bent slightly so that their eyes could meet better, "Also, I have to say, if you keep your brain open, you will You can't blame others for reading it lightly."

Harry glared into those jet-like eyes with fury. "It's easy for you to say!"

"Actually, I..." Voldemort seemed to want to say something, but gave up halfway.He raised his hand, and it fell on Harry's cheek again, light as a feather blown by a breeze. "You're much taller than I was when I was resurrected," he whispered, almost like a sigh. "I have reason to hope you've grown more than just tall."

After saying these words, the man turned into a strong wind like thick ink, and flew away whistling.Harry stared at it disappearing into the imperceptibly darkening sky outside the window, feeling the icy touch of the hand on his face linger.

Voldemort wished he had grown beyond size?This is definitely ironic that he has no brains, right?

In addition...

Harry subconsciously rubbed the skin that had been touched twice (the previous time was when Voldemort had just been resurrected), and blinked slowly.Is it his illusion?When Voldemort touched him briefly just now, something tiny seemed to flash through his mind... something that didn't belong to him?
