[Comprehensive] Those years when I memorized the Analects of Confucius

Whatever it is.

While flipping through the notes he had taken, he thought distressedly: "If you ask Professor Snape these questions, you will probably be scolded, right?"

So, sure enough, it would be better to ask Draco first, right?

"Cloud," Ernie couldn't help asking once back in the common room, "do you know Malfoy?" And what the hell is Draco!He suddenly called so kindly, his well-behaved and naive(?) roommate was tricked by the Slytherin guys, right?

Accidentally said what was in his heart, Kong Yun didn't care too much, he looked at his friends who suddenly became nervous: "What's wrong?"

Justin hesitated for a while, but he didn't directly say Malfoy was wrong—from Kong Yun's attitude, the two were at least friends, and regardless of Hufflepuff's prejudice against Slytherin, he said in person Talking badly about the other party's friend is a very excessive and disrespectful thing.

He changed the subject: "What do you think of Malfoy?"

"Very good." Kong Yun said naturally.

Ernie & Justin: ...

That's right, anyone who can say something like "Professor Snape is a nice guy" probably won't have a bad impression of Malfoy.

The mood of the two of them is a bit complicated at the moment, because of the first impression, Kong Yun has always been a kind and innocent (?) good boy in their hearts. In short, their roommates are naturally very kind. place, it must be someone else's fault!

For a family that quickly whitewashed itself in the name of "going mad" after the fall of the Dark Lord, Ernie instinctively had a defensive mentality. He would not rashly guess the other party's position, but he couldn't watch with peace Small partners make friends with each other.

Compared with Ernie's instinctive defensiveness, Justin thought more thoroughly.

Although he is a Muggle, Justin's family has a high status in the British Muggle world, which makes him more rational when considering things—for example, according to the rumors in the academy, Malfoy treats everyone coldly. Indifferent, and Slytherin and Hufflepuff have less contact opportunities, how on earth did they become friends?

To put it more bluntly - compared to sincerely wanting to be friends with Kong Yun, Justin believed that Malfoy came with a certain purpose.

Thinking of this, the first-year Hufflepuff sighed deeply.

My roommates are good everywhere, but they are too nice, and it is too easy to trust others.

Seeing his roommate waving his hand and disappearing from the entrance of the lounge with easy steps, Ernie drooped his head and lowered his watch. He was depressed for a while, then suddenly raised his head, staring at the little friend beside him with bright eyes : "Justin!"

Justin: "...?"

Ernie clenched his fists and said seriously, "I can't let Yun get too close to the Slytherin guy, that guy must have ulterior motives!"

Justin didn't speak.

In fact, just now——Justin also expressed his intentions to Kong Yun straightforwardly. At that time, how did the other party answer him?

"I understand what you mean, Justin." The young man looked at him and smiled, and he said lightly: "But when looking at a person, the key is not the rumors and the reasons for getting close, but the actual behavior, not ?"

Perhaps Draco did approach him deliberately with a certain intention, but the help he received from the other party is also true—in other words, before this so-called "certain intention" really touched his bottom line, for Draco The fact that he approached him with a certain purpose would not hold any grudges against him.

Justin was stunned, speechless for a while.

He could understand the meaning of Kong Yun's words, but it was precisely because of understanding that he didn't understand even more.Born in the British Muggle nobles, he has seen too many intrigues involving interests and power—but this person in front of him...how can he be so open-minded?

"I figured out what to do!" Justin came back to his senses, only to hear Ernie in front of him say solemnly: "If Yun just wants to find someone to discuss and study with, then I can do it too!"

Justin: "..."

To be honest, Ernie's grades are actually not bad. Among the students of the four colleges in the same year, it can even be said to be relatively high, but if it is compared with Draco Malfoy...

Seemingly seeing the suspicion in Justin's eyes, Ernie glared at him angrily, and vowed: "I will definitely surpass Malfoy!" Then he took the little friend from the nest out of the claws of the big villain Slytherin Save it!

Justin: "..."

Two friends, one is Silly Baitian and the other is sober Silly Baitian, what should I do?

Thinking about Kong Yun who had disappeared, and seeing Ernie who immediately decided to study because he found his goal, Justin couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

What else can I do, I can only watch more.

Go back and ask Bivis if they have any more detailed information about that Slytherin.

……

There are few people around the lake in autumn. Compared with the clean and cold lake, the students obviously prefer the sunny, noisy and popular lawn.Of course, not everyone likes lively places, such as the one who set the agreed place as the lake——

"You're thirty seconds late," Draco said slowly.

When he said this, he looked up slightly.

The two stood one by one and sat by the other. Logically speaking, the standing one should feel more condescending, but even as the one being looked down upon, the Slytherin in front of him didn't feel cramped or weak in the slightest.At this moment, his tone was indifferent, without any meaning of blame or displeasure, as if he was just stating a fact that had already happened, but it was this kind of free and frankness that instead brought out an indescribable pride.

"I'm sorry." Kong Yun immediately apologized. He didn't intend to explain the reason for being late, but the attitude of the other party clearly showed the intention of wanting to know.He paused, but continued: "My friends are worried that I will be deceived by someone with ulterior motives—especially after knowing that I am going to meet a Slytherin."

Draco raised an eyebrow slightly.

Then there is no more.

After saying this, Kong Yun sat down together. He spread the book on his lap, handed over a black leather notebook in one hand, and held a quill pen that he was not used to in the other hand, and his attention quickly shifted. When it comes to learning.

As many people know, there are not many opportunities for two people from different colleges and different grades to meet each other.The friendship between the two—if it really existed, it did start from studying together in the library.

Draco took the notebook, lowered his head, and flipped through it casually.

Frankly speaking, most of the time, this seemingly gentle and friendly Hufflepuff always gave him a feeling that he couldn't see clearly.

Unlike the students in this school, he has different prejudices against different colleges, and he doesn't have the fear that Hufflepuff should have for many things, but he is indeed a Hufflepuff through and through—sincere and friendly And gentle.

He doesn't seem to care about other people's malice against him. Even if it comes from other students' slander or insult, he just retaliates with a trivial joke. The impact of virtue will only be smaller.

Completely in line with the image of a fool in the hearts of the world.

"I believe," Draco said slowly, his eyes lingering on one of the pages, "if you dare to trouble Professor Snape with such a stupid question - he will definitely kick you out on the spot of."

"I know." Kong Yun closed the book in his hand, raised his head and blinked at him, and said calmly, "So I'm here to ask you, Draco."

His tone was natural and determined, as if he was not worried about being rejected at all.

Draco squinted his eyes, neither saying yes nor no.The young man lowered his head naturally, and his thoughts jumped to the next topic. While writing and drawing in the book, he thought hard: "... Well, from the perspective of efficacy, lavender seems to have the same effect as sleepy beans. sleep aid, then the effects of nettles and daffodil petals in hypnotics..."

It's not so much that I don't worry about rejection, it's better to say that... I have no fear.

But why would there be nothing to fear?

Is it from Hufflepuff's usual naive thinking, subconsciously thinking that "friends" will definitely help him?Or... Seeing through his deliberate approach, that's why he has a firm attitude, knowing that he will definitely not refuse a request of this level?And if it's the latter, then after realizing this, why can the other party treat him sincerely without caring?

Draco rubbed his forehead.

Combined with the experience of the two lives, he has seen all kinds of people, and he thinks he has a certain understanding of human nature, but this Hufflepuff in front of him gives him a feeling that he can't understand at all. Feel.

"Draco?" Seemingly noticing his movements, the second-year Hufflepuff frowned slightly, and looked at him seriously: "You don't seem to be in the right shape today, are you feeling unwell?"

Of course Draco could discern the real concern in the other person's words - this person was really worried about his physical condition.But precisely because of this understanding, it made him even more uncertain.

This guy……

Draco closed his eyes, opened them quickly and calmly, and happened to meet the concerned face of the other party. He looked away and looked up at the endless, cloudless blue sky.His voice is no longer cold, but reveals an indescribable meaning:

"It's ok."

It's still a long time.

He still has enough time to search a little bit, accumulate a little bit, like a spider in the corner, quietly spreading out a meticulous and meticulous web——

Before that catastrophe came.
