if i am not me

When Neville went to see Dumbledore alone, he told of their experiences, of course, his own and what Harry had told him.He was not stupid, he understood that the Parseltongue could no longer be concealed from Dumbledore, so he simply stopped concealing it.After all, other than that he couldn't explain how a couple of 2nd year students found the Chamber of Secrets and even killed BASILISK.Under the direct gaze of Dumbledore's wise eyes, he just felt that there was nothing to hide.

In Dumbledore's office, a filthy Ginny is held tightly in the arms of a weeping Mrs. Weasley.Faced with this situation, there seems to be nothing that other people can do except comfort.They didn't figure out how Ginny got the diary until the end, Ginny said it was found in her books, and the Weasleys said they couldn't have prepared something for their daughter that would hurt her .

In this regard, after talking with Neville, Dumbledore announced to the public that this was a frame-up incident. After all, the Weasley family is a long-standing pure-blood family in the magic world, and the "Mixed-Blood Protection Act" currently being drafted support has considerable influence.Just imagine, if the diary is not discovered, Ginny and the Weasley family, who bear all the responsibilities, will bring many variables to the formulation of this law...

And while Dumbledore was busy in the office dealing with the aftermath of the incident, Harry, Draco, and Hermione were staying in the medical room with Ron, after all, there were serious injuries among them.

Drake is fine, because of the phoenix's tears, he is fine now except that he is still a little weak.However, after repeatedly expressing that he didn't need treatment, he finally lay on the hospital bed obediently and helplessly under Harry's insistence.

Ron, however, was still in a coma, and his injuries were worse than anyone had imagined—he had barely any defenses when he was hit by a rock in order to protect Hermione.Fortunately, there was Madam Pomfrey in Hogwarts, so it was only a matter of time before Ron woke up.

However, due to the maturity of the mandrake, Madam Pomfrey is really busy today, so Hermione had to go get the medicine for the three of them in person.Seeing Ron, who was in a coma on the bed, breathing lightly, Hermione, who had just brought a few bottles of medicine, gave a few hasty instructions, left Harry to watch over the two of them, and ran out again.

At this time, only Harry and Draco were still awake in the infirmary. Looking at Harry who was helping him apply the potion to remove the scar, Draco finally asked in a low voice after hesitating for a while, "Why did he arrest you? I heard He said...heir...?"

He arrived almost at the same time as Neville, but when he found himself back in the hall of the Chamber of Secrets, he was alert in his heart, and this forbearance finally allowed him to seize the opportunity to kill Riddle.Because of this, he knew how much Riddle valued Harry.And the word "heir" made the original doubt climb to the highest point.

Harry was carefully applying golden liquid to the hideous scar on Draco's palm, when he heard Draco's question, his hand paused for a moment.After Riddle disappeared, because he was worried about Draco and Ron, he had little time to think about the abnormal situation before Riddle disappeared, but now, he has enough time.

He has never seen Riddle with such a strange attitude, words and deeds before, and everything that is unfolding in front of his eyes is so confusing.If it wasn't for Drake today, I'm afraid...

Looking at the concern, worry and doubt in Draco's beautiful blue eyes, Harry suddenly didn't want to hide it anymore.He could hide it from Hermione, he could hide it from Ron, but Draco, he just wanted to be honest. "He said I might be the heir of Slytherin, though I don't know why he was so sure. He seemed to... want my body."

These words made Draco's pupils shrink sharply, thinking about the things that happened in the secret room, he felt a trace of fear in addition to anger.But the matter was over, and this made him calm down quickly, bit his thin lip, and looked at Harry carefully, "Neville is obviously the one who knows the old tongue..."

Shrugging his shoulders, Harry also wondered why Riddle would say that, could it be because he is a snake tongue and also a Slytherin?

"You're a Slytherin, but he has no reason to use that as confirmation, because I'm a Slytherin too. Unless you're a Slytherin, too, but then..."

Suddenly, his slightly joking words stopped for the meaning conveyed by the emerald green eyes Harry looked at him seriously.

Staring blankly at the black-haired boy in front of him and nodding almost invisible, Draco took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that this world is really crazy, one is enough, and there are two beside him!

"Things that he dare not say, how dare I...I am such an orphan with unknown background." This is the fact that he still can't figure out the reason for his body, and that's why he treats him Riddle cared so much about what he said.Harry's voice was low, he wondered how Draco would react knowing he had been keeping this from him.It turned out that he didn't say it because of precautions, but now, he has decided to be honest, so... what is he afraid of?

"You..." Draco was almost speechless, and after a while, he growled angrily, "You idiot, how dare you say such a thing, what if my brain is read by someone? ?”

Draco's ferocity made Harry stunned for another moment, but in an instant, a smile as bright as the sun bloomed on it. "I don't want to hide it from you anymore," Harry said softly, with the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.

"You..." Draco didn't know how to react to Harry's words. He was moved and anxious at the same time, and in the end he could only raise his hands to rub Harry's already messy hair in a bit of annoyance, making them more visible. disheveled.

After a long time, Drake looked deeply at Harry's green eyes that had been staring at him, and said dryly, "Even if the whole world betrays you, there is still me." Drake didn't know what he was talking about, he only knew , This is his lifetime commitment.

Harry didn't understand the deep meaning of Della's words, let alone the emotion that neither of them could detect. He just smiled and nodded solemnly, "Me too!"

Beside the hospital bed, the two boys smiled happily.It seems that something has changed, but no one can tell what it is.

At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the door, both Harry and Drake were surprised that no one could stop Madam Pomfrey.

"Xiaolong!" The door of the ward bounced open with a "bang", and Harry saw a figure flash by, and Draco was already embraced by one of the people who came.

Draco was stunned for a moment, until he saw the worried father beside the bed, and realized who was holding him. "Father...Mom, I'm fine." He said grumblingly, patting his mother's trembling back, feeling a little embarrassed rarely.

Hearing this, Narcissa hurriedly let go of Drake, looked him up and down, left and right, and asked anxiously. "Are you all right?"

Draco looked at his mother, who had completely lost her usual elegance, and felt a little amused in spite of his distress and guilt, so he couldn't help but nodded fiercely.Seeing her son personally confirming this, Narcissa let out a long sigh of relief.And Lucius, who had been glued to Draco's body since he entered the door, saw that Draco's face was still a little pale except for the obtrusive scar, and his heart was finally relieved.

"It's fine." Lucius said lightly, but the pity and pride in his eyes couldn't be hidden from anyone present.After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Harry who was standing beside him without saying a word, and asked with a gentle smile, "You are Harry, right?"

Seeing this, Harry nodded hastily, kind Lucius, such a situation is once in a lifetime for Harry.And Lucius looked at this boy with firm eyes, always felt a little familiar, but there was still a perfect aristocratic smile on his face, "The little dragon was taken care of by you at Christmas."

"Where?" Harry smiled slightly, there was a tenderness in his eyes that he hadn't noticed. "I just want to thank you for allowing him to spend Christmas with me."

Narcissa wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up and hugged Harry into her arms, "We thank you anyway."

The hug was too sudden, but Harry didn't, and wouldn't refuse.He hugged Narcissa back with a smile, because he found that Narcissa's embrace was so warm, as warm as Mary's—this was the warmth of a mother.

Draco looked at the three people in front of the bed with a smile, and suddenly felt an indescribable satisfaction in his heart.Such a scene made him laugh heartily.

"Okay, let the children rest. Let's go see Dumbledore first, there are still many things to deal with." Seeing his son's smile, Lucius' heart was really relieved, but he had to Bu and Narcissa left first, because this incident made him fully understand his situation.

Decades of following and trust disappeared with the released BASILISK and the almost dead Drake. It's a pity that when he got the diary from "him", he was still ecstatic for "him"'s attention. In his eyes, he is just a pawn that can be discarded at any time, even today after more than 10 years of his disappearance.He wanted to be thankful, thankful that no one knew the source of the diary, glad that Draco was still standing in front of them in good health, and thankful that he still had room for redemption.

After instructing Drake many things again, the Malfoys went to the principal's office. Perhaps, they need to re-plan the issue of standing in line for the future of the family.

As soon as the Malfoys left, Hermione returned to the room holding four or five bottles of potion, "Did your parents come just now?" Hermione put the potion on the cabinet beside Ron's bed and asked Zheng Han Draco eating chocolate candies, you know, Mrs. Weasley still remembers the out of control emotion when she saw the injured Ron before.

Passing a piece of candy to Hermione, Harry replied for Drake, "Yeah. Our parents know about it."

Hermione peeled off the candy wrapper, stuffed the candy into her mouth, touched Ron's forehead with her hand, and muttered, "No fever, it's good." Then she turned back to Harry and the others. "Merlin, then I have to write a letter later, otherwise they will go crazy."

"Yeah." Harry grinned, and Draco stuffed a candy from his hand into his mouth.

After arranging her disheveled hair, Hermione looked at Harry who was complaining to Draco, and couldn't help but smile.Smoothing Ron's loose hair on his forehead, Hermione looked tenderly at the boy who had been injured trying to protect her.No one knew how she spent those few hours. She just remembered moving the stones non-stop, even though her hands were covered with bloodstains, she didn't dare to stop slightly.And when they appeared in front of her covered in blood, she was so grateful to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky. Fortunately, they were all fine.

Things are finally over.

In the following days, almost everyone felt that the end of the semester was too good.The most frightening room monster was wiped out by the "Boy Who Lived" and his friends, and the students who were petrified have recovered their health.Of course, there are also canceled exams, and there really is nothing better than that.

Slytherin and Gryffindor added 400 points and 600 points respectively for the heroic performance of the little heroes-although Ron and Hermione insisted that they did almost nothing, their points still fell into the Gryffindor's huge red hourglass.

Even Ginny has regained her lively and cheerful personality.But there are always exceptions to everything. Neville, who has won great honors for us, has always had a bitter face. Even the five of them each won 5 points for their respective houses, and Gryffindor won the house cup firmly. A little less wrinkling.

"I heard that your grandma came to school yesterday." Harry patted Neville's shoulder knowingly, "Dumbledore already knew that you can speak Parseltongue?"

Neville nodded. He knew that it was impossible for him to hide this from Dumbledore, so he said it frankly.However, Grandma's reaction really frightened him.

Ron looked at Neville guiltily. In his opinion, if it wasn't for saving Ginny, Neville would never have exposed his old tongue.Neville felt Ron's gaze, and naturally knew what his good buddy was thinking, "Don't make such an expression, Ginny... Even if it wasn't your sister, I would have saved her. Why are you so guilty!" Wei's face was a little red, and after he finished speaking, he realized that there seemed to be something in his sentence...

Sure enough, when he looked at his friends again, Hermione and Harry both had joking expressions, and Drake also looked at him with a rare raised eyebrow and a half-smile, only Ron moved him Hug, "Good brother..."

Coughing in embarrassment, Neville said to Ron, "It's time for us to pack our things. We have to catch the train tomorrow morning." After speaking, regardless of the laughing expressions of the three of Harry, he pulled the confused Ron Eun ran away.Seeing this, Hermione shook the books in her hands, and smiled, "I should go pack my things too. There are many books I want to read this holiday that I haven't borrowed yet. You two should prepare them quickly."

Draco nodded, the smile still on the corner of his mouth, causing a few girls who walked past them to let out small exclamations.Hermione looked at the girls helplessly, and said goodbye to them a little funny, "See you tomorrow morning, I hope you don't oversleep."

"With me, it won't happen." Ignoring the girls who were making noise, Draco assured Hermione, ignoring Harry's eyes.Seeing Hermione leave, Draco turned to look at Harry, "Don't you still want to buy candy for Lucy and the others? I remember the order form seems to be in my cabinet."

Hearing this, Harry immediately started talking about the candies he wanted as a matter of course, because he knew that if Draco said so, he would help him finish it thoroughly.

"You're so lazy..." Having said that, Draco acquiesced in Harry's bad habit.However, he was still a little bit unwilling to sarcasm, and suddenly found that Harry's head was close to his ear.

"Draco, do you still want to go to the Chamber of Secrets next semester?"

The purely seductive tone made Draco stop involuntarily, and looked at the smiling boy with a treacherous face in surprise.

This expression gave Harry a sense of complacency, but just when he was about to show off, Draco narrowed his eyes, and Harry hurriedly explained everything honestly. "Accident! It was purely an accident! At that time, I used a mutated tracking spell to escape, and it turned out... hehe!" After Neville and Drake left, Harry released this spell before appearing in front of Riddle. , You know, he didn't just go looking for a younger version of Voldemort to play with.

Originally, he just had the mentality of giving it a try, but he never thought that the sky would pay off. BASILISK, who has lived in the secret room for more than 1000 years, actually opened another entrance for him in the Forbidden Forest.It was also for this reason that in the end he was able to leave the secret room that had been sealed away on the surface without hesitation.

"You're really good, boy!" It took a long time for Draco to digest the news, so excited that he ignored Harry's elegant image, grabbed Harry's neck and began to lick his already messy hairstyle.The hearty laughter made Harry laugh too.This feeling is very good.

The next semester is a semester worth looking forward to.Is it right?Sirius……
