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

Under everyone's strange eyes, Draco, as the person involved, is probably the calmest one: when the others were too shocked by the "fact" in front of him, he calmly took out the He took another beautifully packaged gift box, and then calmly gave a not-so-convincing explanation for his behavior.

"Sorry, I took the wrong one."

Say it like it's true.

But compared to, "Slytherin confessed his love to the Gryffindor savior", everyone seems to agree that "Slytherin took the wrong gift" is the more acceptable explanation, For a while, no one commented on this pale explanation.

Harry even foolishly let the other party take away the magic music box, and then put another gift box in his hand to replace it.

The scene was very embarrassing.

Ron was still immersed in the shock of "the evil Malfoy actually fell in love with my brother", Sirius was indescribable, and Hermione was probably the first to return to normal. The girl pushed her friend with her elbow to signal to him Quickly give some response.

"Uh..." It took a long time to recover. Under Hermione's gesture, Harry finally realized that he had to say something to break the awkward situation in front of him. He cleared his throat, hesitating He said: "Well, I mean, thank you for your gift...?"

Ron couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "But the gold and red packaging on this music box, no matter how you look at it..." It was given to Harry.

He couldn't finish his sentence because Hermione stomped on him quietly.

As the one who seemed to be confessing, the junior Slytherin looked much calmer. He neither panicked nor showed any emotions similar to shame turning into anger. Regarding Harry's thank you and Ron's muttering, he just He nodded briefly and coldly: "Nothing."

Like he really wasn't the one who was going to confess to the savior.

This made Kong Yun feel a little regretful, but he hesitated for a while between telling the truth seriously and ignoring this topic, and finally retreated under the cold look of the junior Slytherins.

In order for something strange to happen again, causing the atmosphere to become even more awkward, Harry did not open this new birthday present this time.

With everyone's intentions, this accident was like a trivial episode, and it was skipped over with a haha. No one brought up this topic until after the dinner was over.Ron wanted to use this to satirize the annoying Malfoy-it's a pity Hermione wouldn't let him mess around like this.

After dinner, it is their free time.

After briefly talking about some things that need to be paid attention to in this old house, such as not trying to find or pick up any strange but dangerous things in every corner, perhaps to give the children a space to play easily by themselves, Sirius very Soon went to the other side alone.

"...I think the godfather doesn't look very happy."

When they said this, they were huddled in front of the tapestry that covered the entire wall. This huge blanket has been old for some years, and it looks old and worn, but the golden lines on it are still bright, in the dim light. sparkling with light.

Kong Yun raised his head and carefully examined the tapestry on the wall.

It looks very large and complicated. Although there are obvious gaps and blurs in some places, you can vaguely see its beauty and exquisiteness from the remaining intact parts. He stared at the golden lines connecting the branches and vines for a while. , and finally his eyes fell on one of the gold threads.

"Draco," he curiously poked the Slytherin beside him who was staring at the wall seriously: "Why is your name on this Black family tree?"

"You should know that in the British wizarding world, there are actually not many real pure-blood families." Draco looked at the line with his name written on it, "In order to maintain the purity of blood, pure-blood families have been There is already a custom of marrying each other, and after hundreds of years, it is inevitable that there will be kinship between pure-blood families."

Attracted by the fact that "Malfoy is actually on Black's family tree", Hermione came back to her senses after a while, she thought about it, and said in an uncertain tone: "I think, Sirius Not unhappy."

"If my observations are correct, he seems more like... he doesn't like this manor. He hates this place." As she told them, she quickly and carefully searched the tapestry, and soon, her eyes turned Stopped at the bottom, on an obvious black hole that was burned out: "Look, there is no Sirius' name on it."

"Of course Blake doesn't have his name on the family tree."

His eyes shifted slightly, but what Draco looked at was not the scorched black hole, but another bleak name parallel to the hole: Regulus Black.

"Of course he doesn't like this old house." When he said this, his tone was extremely cold, not dislike or disgust, but more like a kind of indifference: "From the day he ran away from the family and decided to become a pure-blood traitor Since then, my grandmother burned his name off the family tree."

After saying this, he seemed to have lost interest in the tapestry in front of him, and ignored the few people who remained in front of the tapestry. The junior Slytherin turned around first and went to the living room downstairs.

Kong Yun took one last look at the scorched hole, nodded slightly at the three of them, and went down with him.

"This is what I hate about Slytherins." Ron said, shrugging his shoulders: "They always value their bloodlines more than anything else, and if someone in the family doesn't accept that, they are pure blood Traitors, they will remove people from the family themselves."

"But they're a family—" Hermione couldn't help saying, "It's too..."

"No wonder Sirius doesn't like it here." Harry said, even if there was no one in the Dursleys' house, he would not want to go back to the Dursleys' house again.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but blame himself: "If it's for my birthday..."

"I don't think you need to blame yourself for this, Harry." Hermione comforted gently: "The important thing is not this place, but who is in this place——for Sirius, you are his family." .It's more than anything."

As if seeing his friend's depressed mood at the moment, Ron took the initiative to change the subject: "Speaking of which, what did Malfoy give you later? If he really likes you, Harry—tell me, You will definitely reject him severely, right?"

Suddenly this topic was brought up again, Harry imagined the scene for a while, and then he began to sincerely regret that he would imagine such a terrible scene: "No, don't make this joke, Ron, I believe he should really It was just a mistake—"

"Wake up, Harry, even the packaging of that music box is gold and red, it looks like it was specially given to you." Ron winked at him and smirked: "Believe me, being liked by a Slytherin It's not a bad thing, it's just a testament to your charm!"

"Okay Ron, you know Harry, he doesn't like this kind of joke." Hermione said, "But I'm also curious, what's in that gift box?"

The point of the conversation was finally taken away. Harry cast a grateful look at Hermione, and then he took out a silver watch. The ordinary golden pattern, in people's eyes, gives people an indescribable feeling.

"That's it - it looks like a watch in the Muggle world."

Ron looked at the watch seriously, then looked at Harry's expectant eyes, and shook his head regretfully: "I've never seen this kind of watch before."

"I think the pattern on it looks familiar." Hermione muttered, the girl thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "I see, I saw a similar pattern in a book about alchemy." She explained: "I don't know what the pattern on it means, but I can be sure that there should be a one-time protective magic sealed inside."

This new discovery caused the three of them to look at each other in dismay.

"It... is precious?"

"Very precious." Hermione emphasized: "I know from the book that in the wizarding world, the number of wizards is rare, and there are even fewer wizards who are good at alchemy. Magic items of this level are either the former master alchemists. It was made, or it was made by an existing alchemist, this kind of thing has no market at all!"

Then the eyes of the two of them converged on Harry again, almost having doubts written all over their faces.

Harry looked ashamed and angrily trying to find a hole to slip in.

"However, it's not like there's another possibility." Perhaps because of his conscience, Ron finally stopped bothering him, and he guessed seriously: "Maybe he just took something casually and let someone take it for him." Looking up, no one expected that kind of situation, in order to avoid embarrassment, Malfoy took another thing instead, pretending that he took it by mistake."

"That sounds much more acceptable," Harry said, with an inevitable sigh of relief: "I can't expect a Slytherin to choose my birthday present carefully, can I?"

"So he paid for his estrangement, too," concluded Hermione, who seemed a little impatient with the subject: "Okay, that's it, let's change the subject—I really don't understand, as A girl, why do I have to listen to you talking about a boy confessing to another boy - come on Harry don't look at me like that, I know you have nothing to do."

Harry replied feebly: "What are you talking about? About why Malfoy came to my birthday party on purpose?" He just mentioned this casually, but he didn't want the two friends to chat at the same time as soon as he finished speaking. looked over at him.

"...What's wrong?" With the two staring at him like this, Harry couldn't help becoming nervous.

"That's exactly what I want to ask." Hermione frowned, and her expression became serious: "I remember you told me that Yun agreed to come here because Sirius mentioned that it was your birthday. But why did Malfoy come here together? He wouldn't want to attend your birthday party, would he?"

Harry was slightly taken aback, and quickly realized: "You mean, he came here for another purpose?"

"That's not what I meant." Hermione waved her hand and insisted, "I don't think Malfoy is that kind of person, he's always been different from other Slytherins...don't think so complicatedly, maybe he Just wanted to go back to my grandmother's house, after all he's on Blake's family tree, isn't he?"

"Even if you say that, Hermione, I still can't believe that Draco Malfoy would be a good man. You know, my dad got into a fight with his dad just a week ago."

In this regard, Ron pouted, also showing his persistence.

"I think he did come with some kind of ulterior purpose - just like Sirius said, this room is full of dark magic items, who knows if he will use them to do something ?”
