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

As a once glorious pure-blood family, the collection of books in the Black family house is worthy of its name. Although the interior of the entire manor is dilapidated due to long-term lack of care, when Draco stands among the books filled with various When I was in front of the bookshelf of such precious books, I still couldn't help but sigh with emotion at Sirius' recklessness.

He picked out a book on Defense Against the Dark Arts that he was interested in, and when he returned to the living room, Kong Yun, who was sitting on the sofa a step earlier, had already opened a book and looked down intently.

"... Huainanzi?"

It's not standard Chinese, but it's good enough for an Englishman.Kong Yun put down the book in his hand and looked over in surprise: "When did you learn Chinese?"

"I learned a little during the summer vacation." Holding the selected book in his hand, the junior Slytherin sat down beside him, calmly: "By the way, let's learn about the Eastern magic system... I heard that it is A book that can help increase magic power and exercise the purity of magic power?"

"You can't say that..." Kong Yun thought for a while, and then told him: "In essence, "Huainanzi" can indeed help the growth of magic power and improve the purity of magic power, but this is because "Huainanzi" A lot of knowledge mentioned in "is an explanation of the belief and will of most Chinese people."

"The process of comprehending books is also a process of exercising self-belief and will. For us, the strength of belief basically determines the strength of strength. Will is also a part of strength. A person's strength is related to his ability. , Courage and will are inseparable."

Therefore, Kong Yun has never had much scruples about using Chinese spells.

People with evil intentions will never learn even if they want to learn.And people with good intentions don't bother to do this kind of stealing.

It is undeniable that after knowing that he could not use this method to achieve the effect of self-training, Draco was indeed a little disappointed, but this was only for a moment, after all, his purpose of learning Chinese was not for this.

"So, what do you mean by 'will' specifically? Like your family's unyielding insistence on certain things?"

This time, Kong Yun was silent for a longer time.

"...I can't answer this question." He finally chose to tell the truth as always. The moment the two looked at each other, Draco clearly found a color similar to confusion in each other's eyes: "If it is Ah Yun, he will tell you with certainty, yes."

"But I'm not Ah Yun."

He paused, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and in the next second, those short-term confusion and confusion disappeared, and the natural pride floated between the corners of his eyes and brows: "My will is different from the will that the family advocates from the very beginning. , but I have never shaken my will, so I have no way to answer your question."

The expected answer.

Just like the judgment he once made: Even if they share the same body, Kong Yun and "Kong Yun" are two different individuals after all.

The junior Slytherin stared at him deeply. It has to be said that when those silver-gray eyes looked over quietly and calmly, it was inevitable that there would be a slight leaking feeling, as if he actually didn't care about anything. I know, but out of consideration or politeness, I see through it, but don't tell it.

"I said, don't talk about—"

The door of the room that was originally located on the other side of the living room was suddenly opened, followed by Sirius' angry face. Kong Yun clearly saw a small creature walking out of the room slowly. Then Sirius slammed the door shut again.

……What happened?

His eyes subconsciously fell on the creature that came out, Kong Yun only glanced at it, and judged the identity of the creature——as a Hufflepuff whose dormitory is very close to the Hogwarts kitchen, he often meets with the family members in the kitchen. It's not strange to see them again in Black's old house now.

However, compared with the elf in the Hogwarts kitchen, the house elf in front of him looks much more downcast. He looks old and ugly, and the only loincloth on his body seems to be picked up from some garbage dump the same.

Kong Yun frowned, and was about to speak, but Draco over there suddenly said, "Are you okay?"

It was a very plain, even a little cold sentence. It didn't seem like he cared, but when the little elf who was asked saw him, he suddenly became happy. He bent down and bowed respectfully. : "Oh, Master Draco! It's such a pleasure to meet you! It's been a long time since a real noble man has visited here, and that nasty prodigal son even brought a bunch of scumbags to defile the mistress's house..."

"Is this... a house-elf?"

It wasn't Kong Yun who asked this question, but Hermione who had driven down from upstairs at some unknown time: "I've seen this kind of creature in a book, saying that they have been serving wizards..." She frowned, looking Looking at the house elf in front of him, he showed an unbearable look: "But he looks too bad, why is it like this?"

Draco turned over another page of the book in his hand, and didn't seem to want to answer her question. Kong Yun, who had limited knowledge about this, could only smile helplessly, expressing that he was powerless to help.

"Maybe it's just that the house's been sitting around for so long..." said Ron. "It sure looks old, doesn't it?"

"Excuse me," Hermione glared at him and said angrily, "It's him, not it!"

"Okay, him." Not wanting to argue with his friends on this topic, seeing Hermione showing the same expression as Professor McGonagall, Ron had to change his words: "You know, he's been here for too long, but this There is no one in this house, he stays here alone, and no one cares about him..."

"Kreacher doesn't need a Mudblood to speak for it, and Kreacher's mistress will be very angry if she sees her house full of such filthy pups." The elf's sympathy for Hermione is obviously not Appreciate it, he looked at the three Gryffindors who came one after another with vicious eyes, and was about to continue chanting——

"Shut up! You can't call Hermione that!" Harry and Ron said angrily.

"Kreacher."

The house-elf seemed to want to say something, but Draco who spoke suddenly made him selectively ignore the Gryffindor trio. The junior Slytherin didn't look up, and continued to read the book in his hand. Turning back, he casually said, "My friends and I need some tea and snacks."

No request at all.

"Oh, no! Malfoy, you can't do this to him!" Hermione gritted her teeth, waited for him angrily, and said loudly: "He is not your slave, you can't just order him like this, let him do things for you !"

Draco didn't seem to have the slightest interest in communicating with her, he only paused slightly, and turned his head to ask Kong Yun: "Syrup pie, or raisin pudding?"

As the one caught in the middle, Kong Yun couldn't help being a little embarrassed. He looked at Hermione, who was looking unhappy, and then at Draco, who clearly didn't want to talk to anyone, and was focused on annoying people. He thought for a while, Still said: "I don't like things that are too sweet."

"Then two servings of raisin pudding, less sugar." Draco said, and after briefly instructing the house elves, he said in surprise, "But don't I remember that you like coconut sugar very much?"

"Coconut candy is coconut candy," the junior Hufflepuff corrected earnestly: "I have a soft spot for this kind of candy, but it doesn't mean I like sweet things."

Kreacher, who was ordered, didn't look angry at all. On the contrary, he seemed very happy, even honored—"Kreacher is willing to serve Master Draco and his friends!" Glancing at the Gryffindor trio, they disappeared with a bang.

Ron was obviously irritated by their attitude, he took out his wand from his pocket angrily: "Malfoy!"

According to the usual routines of Slytherin and Gryffindor, the junior Slytherin should also take out their wands and start satirizing from the house of the pure-blood traitor Weasley, but since seeing the tapestry of Black's family tree, Draco It seems that he doesn't want to talk to any Gryffindor at all.

From the moment the three of them went downstairs and returned to the lobby, he never looked up at the three of them, and only nodded slightly: "Okay, next time I will remember to bring only coconut sugar—"

Kong Yun was not surprised to find that the faces of the trio became even uglier, as if they were ready to draw out their wands at any time and have a fight with Draco or something.

He sighed helplessly.

"Hermione, I understand what you mean." His eyes swept across the faces of the three, and Kong Yun finally chose the Gryffindor know-it-all he was most familiar with: "Your idea is not wrong, but for thousands of years For these house-elves, who are used to their work, to suddenly give them up to work and be treated as equals by wizards would only make them more devastated."

"But……"

"I'm not saying that your approach is wrong, but that if you want to improve the situation of the house elves, you need a gradual process and make changes bit by bit. Overturning everything in the past at once will only Killed them."

Hermione took a deep breath, and after the initial anger subsided, the girl quickly understood what he meant, she nodded in agreement: "You're right, I can't be in a hurry, if I want to do something, At least I should have a complete plan..."

"If you need some paper and pens, I think the things in the study may be able to help you." Kong Yun told her.

The Gryffindor girl who was lost in thought suddenly came back to her senses, and she nodded vigorously: "Thank you, that's what I need. Maybe I need to organize my thoughts..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, as if Thinking of something, she thanked Kong Yun and hurried to the study.

Neither Ron nor Harry quite understood why Hermione was so obsessed with the "human rights issues" of house-elves.But Hermione said so, and the house elf who caused all this didn't seem to be there... They just looked at each other and followed Hermione's direction.

A little later, Sirius began to allocate rooms for them. He asked Ron and Harry to sleep in one room, and Hermione alone. Out of nowhere, he said loudly, "Master Draco and his friends shouldn't be in those dirty rooms! They could have slept in Master Regulus' room—"

"... Regulus?" Harry remembered the name he had seen on the tapestry with the date of death clearly written next to it.

He noticed that Sirius' expression became colder, and he seemed to be bored with this topic, so he was very casual: "My foolish brother, a stupid idiot, he followed that man, but in the end because of his cowardice Incompetence cost lives."
