HP sea mermaid

Chapter 14: Split differences

Slytherin and Gryffindor have two classes together every week, and in the only two classes with Harry, Triton found that Harry was distracted more and more.

The most obvious change is that every time Professor Snape's Potions class is over, Gryffindor's hourglass will fall for a long time, so that every student who passes by the scoring hourglass can't help but look at it more glance.

"I really like Hogwarts, even Christmas is on holiday here...Harry?" Triton took the potion that had been stirred the prescribed number of times from the cauldron, "I need the 15mg lionfish spine powder you weighed .”

Harry, who was thinking hard about where he saw Nicole Flamel, quickly came back to his senses, and handed over the fishbone powder in his hand.

Triton habitually measured it a second time, frowning. "Harry, it's only 13mg." He walked around Harry standing there and added some more to the test tube.

After stirring their potion again and igniting it, Triton said seriously: "Harry, have you encountered any problems? Been absent-minded. Did something happen to you? We're friends, and we can work it out together!"

Harry looked at Triton who cared about him in embarrassment, and he was even a little ashamed.Hermione and Ron were firmly opposed to telling Triton the clues they had investigated——

"He and Snape must be on the same side!" said Ron.

"Snape hasn't cleared his suspicions yet, and you telling Winter will have an unpredictable impact on us," Hermione said.

"I'm fine," was all Harry could say at last. "I'm really fine. I'm just worried about the next Quidditch match."

However, the next Quidditch match is after the Christmas and New Year holidays.

Triton stared into Harry's eyes so tightly that Harry subconsciously avoided making eye contact with him.

"Okay. Maybe you can face it on your own, with your friends." Triton said, after thinking about it, he decided to ask him, "Are you going back to the Dursleys for Christmas? If not, Maybe you'd like to accept my invitation to visit Lebanon for Christmas?"

God knows how much he wanted to go to Triton's house to play!

But Hermione arranged a task, and he and Ron would take advantage of the vacation to go to the library to continue searching for Nicole Flamel.

Harry refused with difficulty, "I, I made an appointment with Ron to review together during the holidays, and he won't go home either."

However, there are still more than ten weeks before the final exam until after the semester begins.

Triton completely understood Harry's refusal. Maybe Harry didn't want to have too much contact with him because of his influence in Gryffindor. He smiled politely, "Merry Christmas to you."

Harry looked regretfully at Triton, who had prepared all the ingredients to make the potion himself, with his back turned to a person who never spoke to him again. He opened his mouth several times to explain, but Ron behind him watched him firmly. , poke Harry in the back whenever something goes wrong.Harry closed his mouth resolutely, well, wait until the bad guy who wants to steal the Sorcerer's Stone is found out before explaining to Triton, I believe he will forgive him.

In fact, Hermione was right. On July 31, he saw Quirrell and Professor Snape in Diagon Alley. It happened that both of them were suspects now, and anyone could help Voldemort make a comeback.Moreover, Professor Snape was indeed suspicious. He wanted to get back the confiscated "Quidditch Origin" the day before the game, but found that Professor Snape's leg was injured and he was taking medicine.

Hagrid said that the wound bitten by the three-headed dog Fluffy was difficult to heal, and after the match the next day, Harry observed that Professor Snape was not abnormal when walking.

He lost his mind again after thinking about it, he didn't even know that Professor Snape had walked beside him, and he still lowered his head slightly and wandered in vain.

"Perhaps the patterns on this table are so beautiful that the great Mr. Savior was so fascinated by the sight that he forgot that this was in Potions class," Snape deliberately lowered his voice and hissed like a snake swallowing snakes. Letter, "Do nothing and wait to enjoy the rewards. It is indeed your Gryffindor's consistent style. Ten points will be deducted from Gryffindor."

"If you keep idling here like a piece of wood and pushing everything to your teammates, I think I can reluctantly give you a P in this class."

Harry: "..." Professor, P has already failed...

"Also, I want to say something, Mr. Potter." Snape said maliciously, "For lazy people, isn't a hardworking teammate too much of a luxury? Although he can't motivate you to learn, it is obvious that , Your teammates are too capable, and many people want it."

Harry froze for a moment, looking around in panic, except for Triton who kept turning his back to making the potion and the Slytherins who were obviously watching the jokes, more of them were Triton staring at him covetously. Ranffindor's classmate.

The Gryffindors said: Harry doesn't need to do any technical work in every class, and he can get grades above E without even using his brain. Harry is really lucky!

Looking at this circle, Harry lacked confidence, and protested weakly: "No, sir, you can't separate us..."

"I respect Mr. Winter's opinion." Snape said tactfully.

Triton straightened his back, not once looking back at them.

Harry didn't dare to be careless anymore, and quickly looked at the steps on the blackboard to see where Triton's potion had reached so he could help. He was about to continue with those trivial tasks, but found that Triton had already collected all the potion ingredients needed All ready.

It turned out that every time I dawdled in preparing materials, I was holding back Triton.

Harry realized that he was extremely ashamed after being a rice bug for so long, but he really couldn't help, he ignored Ron who started poking him in the back again, and followed Triton awkwardly. "Sorry, you have to do it all by yourself, I can't help you at all..."

"It's all right," Triton said.

"I want to help too..." Harry was so frustrated that he almost planned to tell Triton what he had concealed just now, but let's not say that Ron had been trying to tease him all the time. Will you look down on him even more? "I am serious."

"I trust you," Triton said.

This kind of Triton who answered questions and answered softly made Harry feel that the whole person was not well. No matter what he said, Triton would reply lightly to make him feel relieved - but how could this make him feel relieved?Harry silently followed Triton and handed in his homework. After Professor Snape gave Triton an O, he glanced critically at the potion of the same origin that Harry handed in, "P."

Harry didn't speak, just nodded and accepted the grade.

This was the first time Harry felt Snape's malice towards him so clearly.Unlike the malice that Quirrell felt from wanting to kill him, Snape never bothered to hide his malice. He would make many small stumbling blocks to fix himself but never hurt his own safety, and even Protect him... At least, Professor Snape is actually a person who is very good at observing words and expressions.

Harry looked at the back of the little sea mermaid and thought about it bitterly, because Professor Snape found out before him that he, Harry Potter, had lost Triton's protection.

Professor Snape's last test was to give him "P".

Triton didn't even look back at him.

Harry could only comfort himself that Triton was his friend and was very important; however, Ron and Hermione were also his important friends.

Of course he understood that the two of them couldn't get along with Triton—they couldn't find a sense of superiority from Triton; they couldn't feel equal with Triton like himself, they respected each other, but Harry himself destroy their mutual respect.

Although it is true that Ron is a pure-blood, but his family is poor, and because his family is close to Muggles, he is called a pure-blood scum, and he has low self-esteem.However, although his parents have died and he lives in the house of his uncle and aunt, although he bears the aura of the savior and has the inheritance of his parents, he is no better than him-he makes Ron feel fair.

Although Hermione is a Muggle-born wizard, but her natural eye-catching style and superb IQ actually crush him and Ron every time in life and in class-they make Hermione feel fair, Because they are not as good as their blood.

Triton wasn't like them, and they couldn't play together at all - Triton was just a combination of their most hated types.Triton has a good family background, excellent studies, and he can show his talents in Potions class, which Hermione has repeatedly frustrated. All these are the reasons why Triton is hated by them.

And these are almost the common characteristics of Triton's small circle.

But Harry can't just care that Triton only hangs out with Triton, not because Triton is unimportant or because Triton has other friends, but because he is in Gryffindor and Triton is in Slater Forest.

He knew he was never some kind of savior, he was just an 11-year-old kid.

He is afraid of the loneliness that has been with him for ten years.

He was sorry for hurting Triton. Triton was the first friend who extended a hand of friendship to him. It was indeed very important to him, but he could only spend four classes with Triton every week; Hermione and Ron, they are together almost 24 hours a day.The balance in his heart will unconsciously favor the other two who spend more time with him.

Moreover, he always believed, or rather had a kind of blind self-confidence, that Triton would always forgive him no matter what.

"You still need to give presents during Christmas?" Triton said in surprise.

"Don't you dare?" Draco raised his eyebrows, narrowing his eyes dangerously.

"Don't you dare to give it away!" Xia Ni shouted at first.

They are in Triton's dormitory. Triton originally invited the two of them to play at home, but Malfoy Manor held a Christmas ball this year, and Draco, as the host, had to attend; No one, he readily agreed to Triton's invitation.

Shani was relaxed, and Draco had everything at home and didn't need to bring anything, so the two of them took their light luggage and ran to Triton's dormitory to watch.

Mr. Prefect hadn't returned to the dormitory, Draco and Shani logically occupied the arm sofa in front of the fireplace.

"How come, it must be given away, it must be given away!" Triton quickly apologized with a smile, and then yelled at the snickering Shani: "Why are you joining in the fun! You live with me and I want to send you a gift!" An owl for you!"

"No, no, you just need to be the first to tell me Merry Christmas in the early morning, and I'll be satisfied!" Shani begged for mercy.His mother originally sent him a letter from the United States asking him to go to Christmas together, but the journey is far away, and he would rather be with his friends.

"Of course, of course!" Triton stuffed his odds and ends into his shell bag, and changed his clothes before putting on his school uniform.

While he was changing, Shani whispered to Draco, "Why is Triton so white?"

He and Draco were both Caucasian, but Triton was even whiter than them, not because of the difference in color, but because of the inexplicable meaning, like glowing.

"He's a mermaid." Draco said calmly.

"Speaking of which, Draco, do you know, that," Shani was suddenly a little embarrassed, not knowing whether he should continue, but the words had already been spoken, and he continued, "I've been talking to Walb Aunt Jia’s correspondence, you know she’s a portrait, every time I write a letter, the house elf Kreacher reads it to her, and then she dictates it for Kreacher to write back to me.”

Draco knew that many ancient wizarding families that had fallen or were about to fall used the portraits of their ancestors to teach their underage heirs. The only one in the Black family whose surname was Black and could inherit the family business was Shani.He nodded, motioning for the gray-haired boy to continue.

"Since I wrote to her and said that after I made Triton as a friend, Aunt Walburga was very excited. She used to write a letter every week, but now she basically writes to me every day. The letter wrote a lot of likes and dislikes of sea mermaids." Shani couldn't help but scratched his head again, "told me to have a good relationship with Triton."

"The things she wrote are indeed very useful, but I think Triton is very good. I will definitely get along with him without her telling me. But why is Aunt Walburga so excited?"

"Excited?" Draco chewed the word playfully, his eyes changed, "Of course she is excited."

"You have to know, sea mermaid, will always be pure blood."

Shani didn't understand, and just wanted to ask, Triton, who had changed his clothes, saw the two of them sneaking together, and quickly flew over, lying on Shani's back: "Okay! You two, tell me behind my back." what?"

"We're talking about you." There was a mysterious smile on the corner of Draco's mouth.

"Draco!" Shocked Shani was about to jump over to cover the platinum boy's mouth, but he still had a little sea merman hanging on his body, and he was afraid that he would hurt Triton too much.

You must know that the Slytherins also liked to pat Triton on the shoulder when they joked with Triton at the beginning, and they used normal strength, but the little sea mermaid was often photographed innocently on the ground...

Just when he was in a dilemma, the young master Draco, who was panting heavily, continued slowly: "Xia Ni asked me what gift you like, and he was not sure what to give you."

Shani: "..." Bastard Draco, I'm ready!

"Thank you, Shani!" Triton smacked Shani on the cheek, and the latter quickly put on a steady look and sat upright. "Don't worry too much, it's my first time celebrating Christmas, and I have to ask you a lot of things I don't understand."

"Christmas is very important." Shani said solemnly, "Although I don't know why the wizards who believe in Merlin celebrate Christmas to commemorate Jesus, but Christmas is a holiday, but it's just for nothing."

Triton nodded in agreement, "That's right! And there is a month of New Year's holidays. Although the total number of holidays is the same as my previous holidays, the time is much earlier. In other words, we can have summer vacation in June!"

Draco couldn't help but fell into deep thought as he watched the two guys discuss the vacation with great interest.

Speaking of which, why do wizards celebrate Christmas?

... And, Mrs. Black, is she thinking what he is thinking?

After all, the plight of the Black family is well known to the world, and once Shani climbed onto the high branch of Triton...

Ah.

After a while, those two noisy guys interrupted Young Master Draco's thinking. Regardless of his gloomy face, they excitedly pulled him to pack his luggage and prepare to take the Hogwarts Express.

"Image! Image!" Draco tried in vain to break free from the "kidnapping" of these two cunning heads, but firstly, he was not as strong as Shani, and secondly, he was afraid of accidentally hurting the fragile little sea mermaid , The tragedy of Triton's injury last time is still vivid in my memory!

Just when they were about to tangle up like this and leave the dormitory door, Mr. Prefect came back.

Although Shani often haunts this dormitory because of Triton's relationship, every time he sees an official in charge, such as a prefect or Professor Snape, he will faint.He quickly loosened Draco's hand, and the two brothers, who wanted to hide it, grabbed his shoulders instead. "Senior Smart!"

Draco: "..."

Smart didn't care about their squabbling but just nodded. He thought of Triton's mention yesterday that he would take today's Hogwarts train home, so he rushed over to say goodbye to him, and he would leave tomorrow.

"Brother Nolan, you're back!" Triton put down his bad friends and ran in front of Smart, "Just now I was thinking that if you don't come back, I'll be gone for a month without seeing each other!"

"Happy holidays, I wish you a Merry Christmas in advance." Smart said gently.

small theater.

Mrs. Black told her: "You want to be a couple with him!"

Dazed Shani: "He and I are a couple."

The ecstatic Mrs. Black: "Really? Take him home quickly! I will take care of it for you!"

At a loss, Shani went to Triton, "Aunt Walburga is full of portraits, why is she still so worried about me making friends?"

Mrs. Black, who was in a hurry, looked dignified like a static painting the moment she saw Triton, which set off the background wall that Kreacher had carefully cleaned next to her, which looked extremely noble. "Hello, Triton."

Triton, overwhelmed by the beauty, said, "Hi, Mrs. Black. Thank you for inviting me to Black's house."

Mrs. Black, feeling a little bad: "It's Black's honor that you agree to be our guest! Shani, if you two are close, let's share a room."

Dazed Shani: "Yes, Aunt Walburga, we planned to live together."

Mrs. Black, who saw the dawn of hope in an instant, said, "...Then go and rest quickly! The longer you rest, the better!"

Dazed Shani and Triton: "It's only morning..."

Is there no concept of time in the portrait?

the next day.

Impatient Mrs. Black: "How? Are they intense?"

Kreacher at a loss: "Extremely intense."

The ecstatic Mrs. Black: "Hahahahahaha!"

Actually...

Triton and Shani wrestled in a best-of-five wrestling match for the right part of the bed against the wall.

Triton, who was unable to use magic during the holidays but was not banned in Taoism, won the victory.

Finally, Mrs. Black, who knew the truth, burst into tears.
