[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Chapter 198 Draco's Distress

A gust of cold wind blew by the Black Lake, and a few strands of Luna's disheveled light-blond hair were blown and stuck to her cheeks.She pushed them behind her ears, revealing her wand pinned there, and then, as if to confirm her claim, she nodded emphatically at Harry.

Harry stared blankly at Luna for a while, then suddenly felt a little embarrassed and scratched his messy black hair: "Thank you, Luna. Do you want to go back? It's a bit cold at this time, and you will catch a cold if you stay for a long time of."

I don't know if it was Harry's illusion, but he always felt that Luna showed a little hesitant expression when he heard this question.However, when Harry stretched out his hand to pull her up, she seemed to have returned to her usual form, holding Harry's hand and standing up, with fine pieces of dry grass still stuck to her black robe.

They walked side by side towards the castle, and just entered the hall when they came across a bored Peeves jumping up and down trying to have some fun for himself.The moment he saw this guy, Harry had an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, Peeves glanced at Harry and Luna, his round eyes suddenly rolled around slyly, and then suddenly screamed loudly: "Oh! Big news! Big news! Potter and the crazy girl went on a date today , Potter is in love with a mad girl!"

"Shut up, Peeves! We didn't go on a date!" Harry was extremely embarrassed, staring angrily at Peeves hovering above his head, "Luna is not a crazy girl either!"

Peeves rolled his eyes, and simply sang: "Who likes crazy girls~ Who likes crazy girls~ That man's name is Harry Potter~ Potter is obsessed with crazy girls~ His taste is unique~"

Luna blinked at Peeves, as if she didn't realize that the crazy girl Peeves was talking about was herself: "Hello, Peeves."

"Luna, this is not the time to say hello to you! Peeves!" Harry angrily raised his wand and pointed it at Peeves. Harry will now have some little evil spells that can be used to deal with Peeves. Not a lot.

But at this moment, Harry realized there were worse things than Peeves coming up with a damn ballad - Draco Malfoy just happened to take two of his valets up the hall steps, and they Must have heard that Peeves song.Crabbe and Goyle let out a goofy giggle like two baboons who've had their fill of fruit.Harry thought Malfoy would laugh at him as loudly as they did, but Draco just raised his eyebrows mockingly.He looked at Harry and Luna, and dismissed Crabbe and Goyle: "Go back to the common room and wait for me."

After the two left, Draco looked at Peeves arrogantly, and said in a long voice, "You know, Peeves, Sir Barrow told me last time that he hated your singing very much. Better not sing, or he'll be very--upset."

The ghost bloody Baron of Slytherin house is the only thing Peeves is afraid of, so Peeves usually don't want to trouble the Slytherin students.However, Draco's words surprised Harry very much. He still remembered the scene in the sorting house. Draco obviously feared and hated the blood man Baron, and it was impossible to chat with this ghost in private—of course, what was even more surprising was , Harry found that Draco seemed to be deliberately trying to save himself?

Hearing what Draco said, Peeves' round eyes obviously flashed with panic, and a flattering expression appeared on his face. "Master Malfoy—" (Harry shivered) "Of course, I will remember Lord Barrow's words, of course~I will be quiet~quiet~" He made a hilarious silence in front of his mouth Noisy movement, waving the hat in the air, twirling and disappearing.

"Uh..." Harry gave Draco a confused look. "Thanks, I mean..."

It wasn't until he realized that Malfoy was helping him out that Harry realized how restrained Draco had been this school year.Although he also made fun of himself for passing out because of the dementor, compared to his performance in the previous two years, he was already very "friendly".

"I'm not interested in your gratitude, Potter," Draco said coldly. "It's just that... Malfoy never owes anyone. It's just a... exchange."

"Exchange?" Harry said in surprise. "Oh, no, Malfoy, what I do is not to get something in return from you, unless you really feel grateful." He remembered Professor Snape's words, frowned and added, "And, we The deal is over, isn't it?"

"Indeed." Hearing Harry say the word deal, Draco's fair face suddenly showed a strange smile. "However, as most people perceive, I don't think it would do me any harm to have a relationship with the Boy Who Lived that isn't too bad. At least at the end of last year, you gave me enough shows that."

While saying these words, Draco was careful not to show too much emotion.He wanted to be more perfect, and he didn't want his father to be disappointed in him anymore.

The matter of the diary, of course, caused an uproar in the Malfoy family.Lucius criticized Draco's arbitrariness more harshly than ever. "Draco, I thought you at least knew what was dangerous and what not to do, even if you unwisely showed your dislike and disgust for Potter."

Lucius was annoyed at the thought of it.Originally, Draco couldn't handle it well.It is undoubtedly a wise decision to blame Potter.

But Dumbledore has given Draco points since he was in the first grade, commending him for fighting the "Dark Wizard", and in the second grade, he made Draco a member of the fight against the Basilisk.Lucius couldn't imagine what would happen to the Malfoy family who had lost the Dark Lord's Horcrux after the Dark Lord was really resurrected (the Dark Lord with the Horcrux would no doubt be resurrected sooner or later).He had to do his best to guide Draco, and strive to maintain a strange, not very close friendly relationship with the Boy Who Lived, at least he can use the excuse of deliberately approaching Harry Potter to deceive trust. The Malfoy family excused.

Draco, who was taught by his father, was quite troubled by this, he didn't know whether what he did met the standard required by his father.If he could, he would prefer to provoke Potter as much as he had done in the past, which would be much easier than it is now.

"Oh, and." Before leaving, Draco took another look at Luna who seemed to be wandering beside Harry. "If I were you, I would be more...cautious. With your reputation, some things are very inappropriate-Saint Potter!"

"What the hell was he thinking?" Harry scratched his hair angrily.He really couldn't understand what a Slytherin did. At first, when Malfoy helped him out, he almost thought that Malfoy was just embarrassed to directly propose to make friends with him, but then, Malfoy seemed to deliberately show A very deliberate, false attitude. "I really don't understand..."

"I don't think he can be considered a particularly bad guy." Luna blinked her light eyes, showing another of her traits that make people laugh and cry - sharp and merciless. "However, if he just wanted to show kindness to you, it was really stupid, wasn't it? Maybe the Malfoy family really has the blood of some other magical creature, so he did it, my father once guessed But their family is related to goblins, so they are so rich."

Imagine the weird creatures in Gringotts, and then think of the Malfoy father and son who always dress up and look good... Harry tried not to laugh.Even though he was used to all the whims Luna had inherited from her father, Harry wasn't very good at responding to Luna's conversations like this.

"By the way, Peeves, aren't you angry, Luna?" Harry decided to change the subject of his conversation with Luna.

Luna blinked, and said indifferently: "Oh, they call me that behind their backs, I know."

"They? You mean people call you a crazy girl?" Harry looked at Luna in surprise, and he realized that a strong sympathy rose in his heart. No wonder she always sat alone by the black lake reading.

"this is nothing……"

Harry and Luna went upstairs talking, and Snape and Jody in the Invisibility Cloak came out from behind the armor and statues on the other side of the hall.Originally, they had just come out of Snape's office and were going to find Dumbledore, but they didn't expect to watch a good show just as they walked into the foyer.

Snape secretly gave Peeves a forgetful just now, so that the elf completely forgot about the damn Potter and the mad girl love song, and then they listened to the love song between Draco and Harry together. The dialogue, and Luna's "sophisticated" evaluation of Draco.

"What the hell is Malfoy thinking?" Jody frowned, staring at Draco's back as he walked towards the cellar.Her question sounded a bit similar to Harry's, but Snape knew very well that Jody was referring to the attitude and intentions of Lucius, or the entire Malfoy family.Draco's level of dealing with Harry can't be regarded as high-level, but adult Slytherins can still guess at once that the change in Draco's attitude towards Harry is due to the education Lucius gave him during this holiday. .They've been speculating about what Lucius Malfoy will do after last year's diary incident.But Lucius acted very calmly, as if this incident had never happened at all.

"At least for now Lucius will not help the Dark Lord." Snape pointed out, "Nor will the Dark Lord ask him for help."

"I know the Dark Lord is cautious, but Lucius...?"

Hearing Jody's surprised tone, Snape shrugged. "I've dealt with the Malfoys quite a bit, and I think Lucius is less loyal to the Dark Lord than he appears to be, and to most people the Dark Lord has been gone for too long now. I'm afraid Lucius is thinking Take advantage of Harry's soft-heartedness to keep Draco and Harry on a good-for-nothing relationship."

"But I'm still a little worried." Despite Snape's explanation, Jody couldn't help frowning. "Voldemort is now planning to catch Harry and perform his resurrection ceremony, so he will definitely do something. We can't let him succeed."

"If I ask you, you don't have to worry so much about your sweet little Harry," Snape said. "Look, even after taking so many courses, he even had time to get a...girlfriend so early."

"Severus, they're just good friends, and they're just kids..." Jody said helplessly.

"Joe," Snape whispered, suddenly leaning into Jody's ear. "I seem to have told you once, you should remember... When did I start to like you?"

"..."

Even though Jody couldn't be seen because of the Invisibility Cloak, Snape could still guess the expression on her face now.This obvious answer made him feel better all of a sudden, and there was an almost invisible smile on his face. "Well, we should go see Dumbledore. Seriously, do you really think you can convince him to accept that plan?"

"No, I don't know. I've tried a few times. I guess Albus already knows what we did over the summer and wants to say something to him now, but I still can't figure out what he thinks What?" Speaking of this, Jody's tone was a little weak. "Maybe I should ask him directly—are we going to try to work with Grindelwald?"
