if i am not me

In the evening, Hogwarts was covered with a layer of golden veils by the sky. Young lovers walked on the path by the lake to talk to each other. The cool wind made the students leave the classroom in three or two. Dormitory, enjoy the rare leisure time of the day.

In the slightly noisy corridor, several tired figures caught everyone's attention. The green and silver-edged robes indicated their house—Slytherin.Obviously, they are so used to other people's fiery stares that they can turn a blind eye no matter what the meaning is.

Draco still straightened his body gracefully, and only the tiredness in his eyes let everyone know that this boy had gone through the same experience as them.And Harry, he's pretty much hanging on to Draco now because he feels like he's almost falling apart.Fortunately, Drake was by his side, allowing him to naturally reduce his physical exertion.As the trump card of Slytherin, although Harry's training time was similar to that of other players, the key point was that Flint's tailor-made plan for him was too "professional".Harry had never thought in his previous life that he would train like a professional Quidditch player, and now, he only wished he had never trained like that - and now he could say for sure that he would not be a professional Quidditch player. It doesn't matter whether he has what people call a once-in-a-century talent.

"Draco...I'm so hungry..." Harry habitually expressed his dissatisfaction as his stomach began to sing empty plans.Draco adjusted his shoulders naturally so that he could bear more of Harry's weight, "I've already asked Blaise to help us bring dinner to the dormitory, please bear with it."

Suddenly the line stopped, and Harry, who wanted to look up, found helplessly that the people standing in front of him were too tall.He could only turn his head and ask Drake, who was slightly taller than him, with his eyes.

But before Drake could speak, a few sarcastic sneers came from among the team members in front.

"I'm looking forward to our match, Hufflepuff's new captain, hehe..." Flint's sly tone made Harry understand who they had met.

Sure enough, the dispersed crowd made Harry see the tall and handsome figure of Cedric Diggory. This boy who always gave everyone a calm impression now only filled his eyes with disdain, and said coldly: " Then we'll see."

As he grows older, Diggory, who has excellent grades and a handsome appearance, has almost become the prince in the hearts of most girls at Hogwarts, and his limelight has never been different since he became Hufflepuff's Quidditch captain. .But the boy didn't become arrogant because of these external factors, he was still as silent as before, just like before.

But this made Harry suddenly think of a sentence that Fred once said - "Diggory talks less because he is stupid and can't say two words at the same time."

And this sentence made Harry couldn't help it, "Puchi!" laughed out loud.

Normally, no one would have noticed Harry's almost unreasonable sneer, but now, this laugh was obviously regarded as a provocation to Diggory.Flint gave Harry an approving look, God knows he just remembered something Fred said.In an instant, everyone's eyes were on Harry.Of course, there were only two that could make Harry return his attention - Diggory and... Cho Chang.Yes, Diggory's current girlfriend was staring at Harry with beautiful black eyes full of anger, as if she wanted to burn him through her eyes.

And Harry just thought it was funny, looking at that familiar face, she was so angry now, the reason was that someone insulted her boyfriend.Replying a faint smile, Harry turned his head and continued to hang on Draco without hesitation. "I'm hungry!" Emphasizing his physical needs again, Harry felt satisfied that Draco's shoulders supported his weight again.

"Let's go!" Draco nodded to Flint, and then he and Harry left without looking back, leaving behind this group of people who are still staring at each other—for them, this is just a group of insignificant people people.

Professor Lupine's teaching method quickly gained him a high popularity among the students. For the first time, everyone felt that Defense Against the Dark Arts was so interesting.Although Bogut, Red Hat, Kabbah and Grindylow are still the contents of the textbook, the professor did give them too many surprises and a sense of accomplishment.

It was Thursday again, and the students of Slytherin and Ravenclaw sat in the classroom of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class early, playing with the wands in their hands, waiting for the arrival of Professor Lupine.It's a pity that they were destined to be disappointed today. They couldn't see the brown-haired figure until the last minute.The one who walked into the classroom instead of him was Snape, who was covered in black and had a slightly gloomy expression.

Ignoring the strange expressions of the students, Snape strode into the classroom, and the flapping hem of his clothes caused a gust of air flow.The door behind him closed with a "BOOM!" after he entered, making the noisy classroom suddenly silent - just like in Potions class.

"Open your schoolbags, and take out your textbooks and notes!" Snape's cold voice sounded in the classroom, and the students who were sitting upright started flipping through their unopened schoolbags as soon as they were instructed.But some people's curiosity will not be suppressed because of fear. After finishing all the preparations, a Ravenclaw girl couldn't help asking a question everyone wanted to ask under the instigation of several people around her. The problem.

She raised her hand tremblingly, and after getting Snape's approval, she trembled a few times and let herself speak smoothly, "Uh...Professor Snape, please, may I ask why Professor Lupine didn't come?"

Squinting his eyes coldly, Snape's eyes were a bit dark. "I don't think that's a question you should be asking in class!"

"I..." The girl almost cried, she regretted it.I believe that if she is given another chance, she will definitely remain silent throughout the day today.

Snape just gave a cold glance and stopped looking at the embarrassed girl. He turned around and walked to the blackboard, saying. "You will see him in the next class. Now! Turn the book to page 180 and the seventh!" Then with a wave of his hand, the blackboard is already full of notes, "Copy it down first."

From the beginning to the end, Draco just watched their Master Dean silently, and followed Snape's request perfectly.And Harry didn't realize that today was a full moon the moment he saw Snape, and it was impossible for Lupine, who was a werewolf, to come to teach them.While copying notes and secretly looking at Snape who was walking back and forth, Harry was in a mess.If Snape had still given them the werewolf chapter like he had done before maybe he wouldn't have been so upset, but no, Snape was acting perfectly normal, like any teacher would do when they came in to substitute.What makes the difference so huge?

The "friendly" scene in the teacher's room last time, Harry usually observed secretly in private, and this time Snape's attitude when he was substituting for Lupin, it was concluded that Harry almost didn't wonder if he was hit by a troll The answer that can only come up with the brain.But the fact is that they seem to have a good relationship, at least compared to before.

Harry was very curious, but what he kept telling himself was that he was not yet qualified to know the truth of history. Without enough strength, the more he knew, the closer he was to death. .

Finally, when get out of class was over, Harry quickly packed his books.After understanding the current situation again, he couldn't wait to go back to practicing Animagus. This body had already adapted to the spell, and Harry believed that he would be able to change at will as before before long.At that time, even if you can't come and go freely, at least you don't have to feel so insecure because you don't have the invisibility cloak when you go out at night.The intuition cultivated by years of war told him that the sooner he learned the Animagus, the greater his chance of getting out of this "contest".

"What's wrong?" Sensing something was wrong with him, Draco frowned slightly as he looked at Harry who seemed to be in a hurry.Harry also knew that his emotions were too obvious, so he adjusted before speaking in a low voice. "Remember that spell we saw last week about how to become an Animagus? I think we need to master it soon."

Nodding, Draco picked up his schoolbag and followed Harry.Since Harry has his reasons for saying this, it seems that this kid has discovered something ulterior.Although that spell may be a bit difficult for them who are only in third grade, it is not impossible.

Without too much explanation, they trust each other as they trust themselves, which can be regarded as their tacit understanding.

"Harry, Drake! Wait." Just after turning the corridor, a voice that was very familiar to both Harry and Drake sounded, but their reactions were slightly different.Harry's eyebrows were raised slightly, with a hint of joy; Draco's eyebrows were raised slightly, with a hint of impatience.

Leo ran towards them briskly, holding the package tightly in his arms.After standing still, he opened the package in his hand, and a burst of sweet breath came. "Here's my mother's honey syrup pie. Brought it in the morning, it's all yours." He said, handing the package to Harry and Draco. "Ron and Hermione both like it, try it."

After receiving the package, Harry was in a daze for a moment, staring blankly at the pie in his hand, and suddenly realized that what was inside was made by Lily...

There was an imperceptible twitch of his fingers, and Harry looked at his "brother" with a genuine smile. "Thank you, Leo, I like it very much. I believe that Leo's mother's craftsmanship must be very good."

Seeing that Harry liked it so much, the corners of Leo's mouth almost reached the ears, thinking about Harry's favorite snacks, he handed another package in his hand to Draco who was standing aside.Drake took it with a calm smile and nodded his thanks.I believe that on the surface, no one can see that this kid has rolled hundreds of eyes in his heart.

Yes, Draco is actually very upset now, and it's not that he doesn't like Leo, but he can't explain why every time he sees this little Gryffindor lion cuddling Harry, he feels weird Not happy.Annoyed by being entangled several times, he also tried some tricks to keep himself clean, but it didn't take long for this guy who was stickier than Bubble Gum to appear in front of him and behind him again.In order to control his emotions, Draco also made special psychological adjustments, but he found that it seemed that he had to prepare for the next adjustment after he could bear it a few times.

Why don't you like Leo?That boy Ron is much more pestering than he is.Unable to understand, Draco looked up at Harry who was joking with Leo naturally, and found that those green eyes were looking at Leo again.

That's right, that look...Draco's eyes widened suddenly, and he suddenly realized that what he was upset about seemed to be the kind of look that Harry would never show when he looked at him, the kind that only appeared when he looked at Leo Only then will the eyes appear.

But why doesn't he like that look?Frowning slightly, Draco began to think about Harry's attitude for the first time.

Gradually, a possibility gradually surfaced with his analysis of himself and Harry.

Could it be that he doesn't like Leo because...

envy……?
