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

The past cannot be remonstrated.

Kong Yun returned to Hogwarts alone.

Abandoning a certain Slytherin who probably really can't speak well, and avoiding a few familiar faces with gossip written all over their faces, Kong Yun was not in the mood to continue shopping, so he simply went back to the Hufflepuff Community by himself. lounge.

When he walked into the lounge, many people cast curious glances, but when they noticed the obvious annoyance of the junior Hufflepuffs, the little badgers suppressed their confusion wisely. She only quietly watched him go back to the boys' dormitory.After his figure completely disappeared, he started whispering.

"Kong doesn't look very happy, did Senior Digory fail?"

"No way? That's Senior Diggory! And even if Kong didn't accept it, he wouldn't be so angry..."

Ernie and Justin looked at each other and followed.

"Yun, what happened?"

It is rare to see Kong Yun showing such an obvious angry look, and Ernie can't help but be cautious when speaking, for fear of accidentally irritating his friend.

Kong Yun was slightly taken aback, and then shook his head in frustration after a long while. The young man curled his lips, apparently still sulking, but this emotion had nothing to do with the friend in front of him, so when he spoke now, his tone was still consistent Peace: "It's nothing, and it has nothing to do with Senior Digory, it's just that I met a bastard by chance."

Ernie seemed to want to ask something, such as who this "bastard" refers to, but was stopped by Justin, who shook his head calmly at him and didn't explain to him, just glanced at the sitting back At the desk, when Kong Yun casually flipped through a book, there was something meaningful in his eyes.

Kong Yun, who turned his head and put his body and mind into reading, of course didn't notice his friend's understanding. He just lowered his head and secretly decided not to see a certain Slytherin's face again in the next few days.

however……

"You can't do this, Severus." Dumbledore said disapprovingly: "I understand your love for Mr. Malfoy, but he is only a second-year student after all. It would be too much of a stretch to join your research experiment."

This statement is reasonable. Considering that these words came from the mouth of the headmaster of Hogwarts, even if he is a professor of potions, he should think about it again, but Head Slytherin raised his eyebrows, and there was a strange expression on his face. expression:

"Don't get me wrong, Dumbledore," he said indifferently, even a little meanly: "I will never give any impulsive fool or idiot a chance to join my experiment," he deliberately paused For a while, observe the other person's expression.Unfortunately, the headmaster of Hogwarts, who was born in Gryffindor, still watched him with a smile on his face, as if he didn't understand what he meant.

This made him a little regretful, but he continued: "If I decide who to join, there is only one possibility—that is, he has the qualifications to participate in experiments of this level."

Dumbledore frowned, as if there was some deep meaning in Snape's words.

"I wonder, have you asked Mr. Malfoy Jr.'s wishes?" He asked after a moment of silence.

"I thought you wouldn't be stupid enough to ask this kind of question." Seemingly thinking that this question was ridiculous, Snape sneered and asked, "Would any Slytherin refuse my invitation?"

Combined with the Potions professor's expression looking like a troll, Dumbledore had to admit that he probably asked nonsense.Obviously, as the other party has shown, no matter what position Mr. Malfoy chooses, he is always a Slytherin, and this will never change.

This made him a little regretful, but it was only for a moment, and soon he restrained his thoughts, and continued to ask: "So, what does Mr. Malfoy think about this?"

Snape's face became a little gloomy, but he still answered the question: "Accident, and surprise."

This is a little subtle.

Thinking of the unexpected joy last time, and the Potions Professor's expression that was not at all happy, Dumbledore knew it.

That is to say, neither Lucius as the parent nor Snape as the dean is almost completely unaware of some of the actions of this junior Slytherin, even the strength that the other party has shown so far. And talent, are not necessarily real.

At least before that, in terms of Potions, Mr. Malfoy was excellent, but not so good that he was qualified to participate in Snape's personal experiment.

To sum it up in one word, hideous.

No wonder Snape was annoyed that a junior Slytherin had been under his nose for a year without knowing it.

Compared to those things that Dumbledore had been worried about, this was certainly not a big deal, but out of personal caution, he still couldn't help but think deeply:

Why would the other party choose to conceal their true strength?

Don't want to be too noticeable, or worry about arousing your own guard and suspicion?If this is really the case, then what is it that made the other party suddenly decide not to hide it anymore?

Questions like these flashed through his mind, but he didn't bring it to his mouth. Dumbledore pondered: "Since this is the common wish of you and Mr. Malfoy, then so be it."

That afternoon, at the Potions Professor's Office, Kong Yun arrived as scheduled at the time specified by the Potions Professor, but when he saw a familiar figure who had arrived earlier and was already processing the potion ingredients, he fell into a momentary daze and contemplation :

Is this the so-called "Murphy's Law"?

The more people you don't want to see, the more you can see them everywhere.

Kong Yun was not surprised at the fact that Draco could appear in the laboratory. As a third-year student who often talked to the second-year Slytherin about the knowledge of potions in the fourth and fifth grades, he always clearly understood that, At least in potions, Draco was indeed better than him.

But he can accept it, but it doesn't mean that several senior Slytherins present can accept it.

Although there are no express regulations, in fact, in Slytherin house, only students in the sixth and seventh grades are eligible to join the private experiment of the dean. It has long been an unspoken rule. It's not unacceptable, but... a second-year Slytherin?

Although he didn't explicitly express his displeasure and reluctance, the attitudes of the senior Slytherins present did become somewhat subtle when they faced Draco again.

It's just that due to the presence of the Potions Professor, he managed to maintain a nonchalant look on his face.

Taking a panoramic view of the eccentric attitudes of several people, Draco didn't say anything.The junior Slytherin calmly handled the tasks assigned by the professor. He only nodded to Kong Yun when he walked in, and then continued to concentrate on processing the materials in his hand.

I don't know if it's some kind of illusion, although the place where Professor Snape is present has always been gloomy, but this time the atmosphere always gives people a more subtle feeling?

Kong Yun was thinking, while lowering his head and continuing to worry about the potion ingredients in his hand.

In this unnamed and purposeless experiment, he often encountered some special materials that he had never touched in books, and the magical plant he was in charge of was one of them.

From the appearance point of view, this magical plant looks like an overactive hedgehog. The leaves on its body are intertwined and intertwined in layers, forming a ball shape. The leaves are ordinary green leaves, but the tips are like needlepoints. Generally sharp.Just 1 minute ago, Kong Yun tried wearing a special glove to handle it, but as soon as his hand touched it, the layer of leaves pierced the glove mercilessly.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have been stabbed even with his hand.

Watching the group of "hedgehogs" rolling around triumphantly on the table, Kong Yun touched his wand with some annoyance, wanting to "split" the plant.

This is of course impossible.

As for all medicinal materials, they all pay attention to their medicinal effects, and if they are not understood, they will only destroy the medicinal effect of the medicinal materials themselves. If he really does this, the Potions professor will definitely kill him.

Just when Kong Yun was hesitating whether to ridicule and ask the almighty Professor Snape for help, a junior Slytherin appeared by his side at some point.The latter thought about the arrogant "hedgehog dumpling" on the table, then took his hand, led him to grab a certain seemingly ordinary leaf, and pulled it slightly.

As if he had pressed the switch of some mechanism, following his movements, the originally firm and sharp leaves fell off, revealing the black fruit inside.

"It's called Nantian Candle, and it's said that it has the medicinal effect of making people lighthearted and immortal." Draco took off the small and exquisite fruit, and threw it into another container specially used for displaying materials: "Because the leaves on the skin are too It is sharp, and once poked into human flesh, it will secrete a hallucinogenic liquid, so it will be more troublesome to handle. However, as long as you find its central blade, pull it out."

"Thank you, and—" the junior Hufflepuff quickly glanced in the direction of the Potions professor, and after making sure that the other party didn't notice him, the boy broke away from his hand and showed a seemingly gentle smile : "I don't think I'm going to forgive you yet, Mr. Malfoy."

"Excuse me," he added politely, "stay away from me."

Draco who didn't know what he did wrong at all: "..."

The junior Slytherin stared at the "White-eyed Wolf" in front of him in disbelief, but the boy seemed determined not to talk to him anymore, and just lowered his head to deal with the remaining Nantian Candles without even looking at him.

never mind.Draco thought.

As a child, it's inevitable to lose your temper once in a while, so he won't be so naive, and care about like a child——

Thinking of this, Draco didn't think about it any more. The junior Slytherin looked at the materials that he had quickly processed, and the other senior Slytherins, who were struggling but he was not interested in helping, simply With the processed materials, I got up and went to find my professor.

So, when several senior Slytherins finally finished the materials in hand, when they raised their heads, they were shocked to find that Head Slytherin, who always only let them deal with the materials and not let them deal with the deeper details of the experiment, unexpectedly Uncharacteristically, he had a second-year Slytherin by his side and started fighting.

This should have been an unpleasant thing, but when they noticed that Snape's next-generation tasks were understated one by one, and the other party completed them calmly and smoothly, that bit of unwillingness and displeasure also made them feel uncomfortable. They all became suspicious.

Slytherin is not a school that likes to gossip, but after the end of the experiment that day, the news that Head Slytherin once again broke the rules and chose a junior Slytherin still spread.

This should have been unconvincing news to the senior students of Hogwarts, especially the senior students who were not qualified to participate at all, but the fact is that those unwilling voices only surfaced for a while, and they It sank silently, without any real waves from the beginning to the end.

Kong Yun knew nothing about it.

The only thing he felt was that when he and Draco came out of the library and walked through the courtyard, those senior Slytherins who would only nod slightly at first started to greet Draco, even the junior Slytherins Lin's attitude was neither salty nor bland, and he didn't mean to be unhappy at all.

Or, is Slytherin really such a house that advocates strength?

When he talked about this topic, it was the curfew time of the night, and at this time they were standing on the outer edge of the Forbidden Forest, looking for a plant called frozen green.

Considering the issue of personal safety, neither of them went too far into the depths of the Forbidden Forest. The Forbidden Forest was silent at night, and occasionally there would be the sound of unknown birds spreading their wings and jumping from one branch to another. What the two of them who looked down for potion ingredients didn't notice was that when they passed under a tree and walked a little deeper, the two pieces were buried under the pure black wizard's robes. The jade pendant lighted up silently.

"Draco, don't you think..." Kong Yun hesitated, frowning slightly, looking up at the sky that became slightly brighter at some point: "Is the time passing too fast?"

When they came to the Forbidden Forest, it was obviously not long after the curfew, but why did they look... as if it was about to dawn?
