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

Don't look inside, don't speak out, don't point fingers.

Following the direction he perceived, Kong Yun knocked on the slightly remote compartment.Soon, a cold voice sounded from within: "Please come in."

He pushed open the door.

Different from the lively atmosphere of most of the cubicles, this cubicle looks very deserted - it's not that there are very few students, or there is no sound, in fact, as early as when he was standing outside the cubicle, he could clearly hear There was the sound of biting snacks coming from inside.

Out of politeness, Kong Yun just glanced at the cubicle very quickly, then looked away.His eyes skipped over the two boys who were sitting next to the snacks, concentrating on eating, and finally fell on the boy sitting alone in a corner.

"Excuse me—I was wondering if you saw a toad?"

This is a rather handsome boy - at least in Kong Yun's aesthetics.But what is more eye-catching than his appearance is the contradictory temperament on his body. He looks more like a spoiled and spoiled rich young master who doesn't know the hardships of the world, but he gives people the feeling that he is similar to an adult. Tired and silent.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but at the same moment when he opened the door and walked in, Kong Yun accurately caught a flash of astonishment in the eyes of this strange young man.

Kong Yun was not sure if the other party recognized him. After all, judging from the guarded eyes of the young man at that time, it was obvious that the other party was not unaware of being probed.He could feel the gaze of the other party resting on him. The two boys who were sitting beside them eating snacks also stopped their movements, and looked at him curiously. One of them saw his companion delayed Without opening his mouth, he simply interjected:

"You don't mean—the kind of guy with pimples all over his body?" He said, with a look of disgust and disdain on his face: "How can we have such dirty things here?"

As soon as the words fell, as if to refute him, a toad between black and gray jumped out from nowhere, and jumped behind Kong Yun.

The boy's face turned red immediately, and he looked a little angry, and he stood up all of a sudden - I have to say that although he looks short, his big body can still give people a lot of pressure ——Before he decided what to do to restore his "lost face", the boy in the corner spoke:

"Crabbe, shut up."

His voice was calm and deep. He said it was an order, but it was actually more like a statement without the slightest emotion. However, the big boy sat back immediately as if he had been electrocuted, with a embarrassed expression, and stopped talking.

"How long do you want to stay here?"

The latter sentence was obviously addressed to Kong Yun.

For ordinary people, it is actually very embarrassing to be issued an expulsion order like this, but Kong Yun is obviously an exception.He reached out and held the toad hiding behind his legs in the palm of his hand, with a smile on his lips: "Anyway, thank you for your help, honorable sir."

The other party did not speak.

Kong Yun didn't expect any reaction from the other party - because no one would care about it.He opened the door of the compartment lightly, and walked out holding the lost toad. The door of the compartment behind him closed again silently, separating the two completely different worlds inside and outside.

Even without bowing his head, he could clearly feel that the toad that was brought out was trembling slightly in the palm of his hand at this moment.

It is afraid.

It has to be said that in many cases, the intuition of animals is often much sharper than that of humans.

He raised his head slightly, recalling the boy he met in the cubicle just now.

Not to mention dangerous, at least when the two of them looked at each other in the cubicle, he didn't detect any malice in each other's eyes, but more of a kind of indifference and a gloomy state of mind .For humans, this is just an emotional and attitude response, but for animals, humans in this state are undoubtedly dangerous.

"Knowing that it's a good thing to be afraid, don't run around anymore, your master is very worried about you." Kong Yun said, as if he didn't care whether the toad understood or not.He turned his head and glanced at the little milk cat lying on his right shoulder, ready to give Toad a paw at any time, intentionally or unintentionally: "Hogwarts is no better than home, if you make trouble casually, no one can clean up the mess for you."

The little milk cat, who obviously understood, lowered its head and meowed listlessly.

Returning the toad to the crying Neville Longbottom—this is the name the boy introduced himself after thanking him desperately, Kong Yun sighed slightly, took out a light blue handkerchief from his pocket, and handed it to the other party.It had to be said that he was just as indifferent to this kind of boy who liked to cry as he was to a girl.

"On the first day of the new semester, I don't think you want to face the professor and other students in this state, do you?"

……

The incident of finding the toad was just a small episode. After bidding farewell to Longbottom, Kong Yun took the chocolate frog that Justin wanted and returned to his own compartment.At this time, there were only a few minutes left before Hogwarts Express arrived.

Outside the window, the fields on both sides flew back and forth.When Kong Yun was about to arrive at the station, he followed the instructions and changed into a black robe. Soon, the speed of the train gradually slowed down, and finally stopped in front of a platform. Open.

Arrived.

……

What would happen if life could be repeated?

The answer is, not so much.

For some regrets or disappointments in life, many people think that when the opportunity to start again comes, the self with prophetic memory will inevitably occupy more convenience, and then change the future direction and outcome, but in fact it is true. is that so?

no.

Rebirth may be able to change a person's attitude towards certain people and events, but it is difficult to truly change a person's thoughts and temperament. A kind person may be able to see the truth of the world clearly because of one death, but a cowardly person may not be able to change his mind because of this. Possess the strength and potential of a hero.

After ten years, standing in front of this familiar platform again, Draco was surprised to find that he still kind of missed the school that had witnessed the worst stage of his life to some extent.

However, after a short period of nostalgia, what came to his heart at this moment was more of an indescribable daze and emptiness.

Yes, he knows what will happen to Hogwarts in the next seven years, and he also clearly understands that if it is allowed to develop naturally, with the ambiguous position of the Malfoy family, the final outcome will not be much different from the past If you want to invest in new bargaining chips and changes in this unclear future...

So ask yourself, does he really... have the strength and courage to face that person?

For a long time, influenced by family education, the idea of ​​pure blood being noble has always been rooted in his heart, but in fact, is pure blood really nobler than mixed blood?

"Oh--!"

The wandering thoughts were interrupted by a sudden loud exclamation, and Draco raised his head, only to realize that they had reached the end of the woods. The students' amazement was caused by the lake under the night and the castle not far away.

Draco endured it.

Then he couldn't tell whether he was sad or self-deprecating, and found that even if he did it all over again, his patience didn't get better at all, and even became more harsh because of the dark history of his youth. He was a little annoyed, but he still held down He raised his voice and said, "Crabbe, Goyle, shut up!"

Fuck pure blood nobility, look!What's the difference between these two big fools looking like Muggles who haven't seen the world?Were the manners of Crabbe and Goyle's house eaten by trolls?

The two big men shut their mouths in unison, which allowed Draco to win a temporary peace, but this was not the end, because soon, when they got on the boat one after another and headed towards the direction of the castle , his two followers began to look around in amazement, pointing at the castle that seemed to tower over their heads.

Draco sincerely regretted that he chose to sail with these two big fools, and this regret reached its peak when he turned his head and glanced around inadvertently——

On the boat next door, he caught a glimpse of a familiar face - he had met this boy who was obviously from the East on the Hogwarts Express more than ten minutes ago.

At this moment, he was whispering something to his companion, and it could be seen that his companion was also very excited, but the boy did not deliberately stop this excited faux pas, but guided them in a peaceful and pampering way Naturally calmed down, Draco couldn't hear what they were saying, and as far as he could tell, everyone looked happy.

As if he had noticed the gaze of others, the boy turned his head, and the eyes of the two briefly met in the air. Before the embarrassing atmosphere filled the air, the boy nodded slightly and smiled at him.

Six points of politeness, four points of alienation.

Then he turned his head back naturally, no longer looking this way.

Draco suddenly thought of the Hogwarts Express, the boy's parting words - he could feel the sincerity of the other party when he said those words, but this kind of sincerity did not mean that he called Draco Being "Honorable Sir" is a kind of compliment or respect, just like the present smile is just his natural and appropriate etiquette when facing strangers.

I don't know why, although the other party didn't have any irony from beginning to end, at this moment, Draco still felt a subtle sense of frustration.
