if i am not me

A figure disappeared silently in the wind and snow, I saw him hiding in the shadow of the corner looking at something from time to time, and then resolutely turned to the next intersection.The skilled figure showed that this was not the first time this happened, and the exquisite face under the hood also showed the identity of the visitor.Draco carefully put the Marauder's Map back in his arms, tightened his wand and got into a secret passage leading to the cellar where Slytherin was.

It was early in the morning, and Draco was not worried about waking up other people in the dormitory. This is the time when most people sleep most soundly, not to mention that he habitually cast a spell to help sleep before entering the door.Gently closing the door of the dormitory, Drake shook off his tiredness, looked at Harila's tight curtains, suppressed his excitement and walked towards his bed - let's talk about everything after dawn.

"I'm back." The soft whisper abruptly broke the quiet and shallow breathing in the dormitory.Draco froze, obviously not expecting Harry to be awake.

Smiling and agreeing softly, Draco walked into the bathroom.After washing and changing into pajamas, Draco walked towards Harry's bed with a wand in one hand and the object he had just taken out of his pocket in the other.After skillfully casting a few spells, Dracula opened the curtain and got in. What awaited him was a pair of green eyes that made him addicted.

Lifting up a corner of the quilt, Harry pulled Draco who was standing by the bed into the quilt, and frowned almost imperceptibly after touching his cold hands and feet.Wrapping Drake tightly with a quilt, Harry said slowly, "Tell me, what's the matter?" Knowing that Drake would hardly encounter any danger in the secret room, it doesn't mean that he won't be in danger because of him. Worried about returning home late.

Wrapped in a quilt with Harry's body temperature, Draco felt that this winter didn't seem so cold.Smiling slightly, he put the object he had been holding in his hand in front of Harry. "For this."

It was a simple and unsophisticated small box. The patterns on the surface were faintly corroded, but it did not detract from its exquisiteness. The sporadic brilliance showed how perfect its protective magic was.And at the keyhole, a vivid green snake is occupying its body to seal it.

Harry now knew why Draco came home late because of it, his fingers trembled excitedly, and asked Draco next to him with a look of surprise, "Where did you get it? I remember that we were in the Chamber of Secrets Searched it out."

Seeing that Draco raised his eyebrows in an unpredictable and profound manner, Harry suddenly realized—

—BASILISK!

"Quick! Try it with Old Snake! I tested it and there is no problem." Draco no longer pretended, he was too curious.Harry smiled lightly when he heard the words, licked his dry lips and said in a soft "hissing" sound, "Open!"

Following Harry's "hissing" sound, the little snake really started to move around the keyhole, and slowly extended towards the front of the box, exposing the sealed gap.

Seeing this, Harry and Draco couldn't help swallowing. This item had a strong smell of Slytherin, and it was obtained from BASILISK. No wonder they valued it and were so curious.However, Harry cautiously released a few more test spells, and after confirming that they were correct, he took a deep breath, and opened the closed lid of the box with slightly trembling fingers.

With the light from the magic wand, a black book with complicated and strange patterns lay quietly on the bottom of the box that had been enchanted with space magic. Only the name of everyone—Salazar Slytherin—was written in golden ink on the book.

Glancing at each other, both of them showed incredulous expressions, they never imagined that it was actually an item left by Salazar Slytherin.After a long time, Draco laughed lightly. "I really want to know what 'he' will look like if he finds out that BASILISK has this thing in his body."

Hearing Draco's pointed ridicule, Harry shook his head amusedly, and gently took out the book.Time has not left too many traces on this book, caressing the concave and convex patterns on the cover, Harry turned the first page under the urging of Draco's eyes.

"I am Salazar Slytherin, heir..."

Sleepy-eyed Harry yawned indecently, and even Draco, who usually pays attention to his appearance the most, looked sleepy, but even so, the two insisted on appearing in the herbal medicine class.Classes haven't started yet, the students are standing in twos and threes at the door of Greenhouse No. [-], chatting and playing around, waiting for the professor to arrive.Harry leaned against the railing by the door and whispered to Draco, looking very relaxed.

"...I told you to keep Crookshanks away from it!" Ron roared loudly from a distance, Draco just raised his eyebrows and looked at the three who approached them. This kind of roar appeared too frequently, and he had no interest in continuing to pay attention.

Of course, Hermione's shrill voice sounded immediately, "Crookshanks won't really bite it!"

"Don't think I don't know how long your stupid cat has been staring at it."

"Don't be unreasonable." She was already a little angry when she said this, so when her sharp voice suddenly resounded through the entire greenhouse, everyone stopped their movements and looked at her and them around her.

Facing the dense gaze, Drake glanced at them lightly, but with just such a glance, most people turned to look at their heads, as if nothing happened just now.Harry walked between the two of them, looked at Hermione with a strange look on his face, "What's going on?"

Hermione was in a fit of anger at this time, and although she knew that Ron was making trouble like this because Crookshanks' behavior was indeed questionable, she just couldn't be angry.Fidgeting at the somewhat disheveled curly hair, Hermione glared at Ron before saying, "Babber is missing, that kid said Crookshanks did it."

Hearing this, Harry's eyes dimmed.But Hermione didn't notice, she just glared at Ron angrily, with an indescribable grievance in her heart.

At this time, Draco also came over, and he raised his delicate eyebrows and asked in a little surprise, "Banban, is it still alive?".What Drake asked was Neville, who was standing behind Hermione and Ron, who was smiling wryly, and now it seemed that he was the only one who could answer his own question.To be honest, Draco has never been able to understand what is so good about a rat as long as it is dead, so that Ron cares so much.

It's just that before Neville opened his mouth, Ron gave him a slap in the face after hearing Draco's question, and then said angrily. "It has been alive and well until today!"

"How do you know it's dead?"

"It never leaves the dormitory by itself."

……

After understanding the ins and outs, it turned out that when Ron wanted to feed Banban dinner last night, he found that the mouse that usually nestled under the bed was gone.At the time, he didn't pay much attention to it. Although it was usually motionless like a corpse, as long as it was alive, it could still move around. "Maybe it's so hungry that it's going to find something to eat by itself." Seamus comforted him like this at the time, but after he still disappeared this morning, Ron, who searched the entire dormitory, presumed that it was Crookshanks who had been eyeing the spotted tiger for a long time. Finally started.Just like that, the previous scene happened.

Rubbing his forehead, Harry's excitement over last night's harvest cooled down.He was a little surprised, but more puzzled—Wormtail disappeared just like before!This time there is no Sirius to hunt him down, why did he still choose to leave Hogwarts?

Harry couldn't figure it out, could it be... that he had some information about Voldemort and went to find his old master?The answer is yes if history has not changed.But the problem is that the trend of history is completely different from the history that Harry is familiar with. James and Lily are still alive and well, and Wormtail has no reason to go to the man he is so scared to death.

"Students, come to me..." At some point, Ron and Hermione had stopped arguing, Professor Sprout clapped his hands, and brought them into Greenhouse No. [-] to start today's lesson.

But Harry couldn't focus on his homework at all, his heart was disturbed by the news of Wormtail, and what he got last night also made his long-dormant mind start to stir.

After these years of investigation and practice, Harry has fully realized how weak he is.On the premise of protecting himself, if he hadn't obtained the list through his relationship with Drake, with his current ability, he wouldn't even be able to obtain high-level information from the Ministry of Magic, let alone more personal information.So he has been enduring it all the time, only he knows how he suppressed the extremely tempting thought of giving Banban a Legilimency time and time again.Because that would be too dangerous, and for a history that had nothing to do with him to expose his current self, Harry could only keep suppressing the desire to peek deep in his heart after weighing the two.Ability... because at that time he lacked the ability to be strong enough to be qualified to know the truth.

But now?Harry looked at Draco, who was also wandering beside him, and couldn't help curling his lips.He knew that Draco was thinking about at least one thing he was thinking about right now - the book that Salazar Slytherin had left to his heir.

The night passed, and Harry still remembered the excitement he felt when he turned the first page and found out what they had got, even if it only lasted for a short time.That was the book that Salazar Slytherin left to his true heir. According to Slytherin's own description, it recorded his life's research.The heir of Slytherin is not actually the one who can open the secret room, but the one who actually gets the book.

Slytherin said that this book is guarded by the patron saint BASILISK, and only after entering the secret room and being recognized by BASILISK can he truly have the qualifications to become the heir.Yes, just qualifications.When Harry saw this, he understood one thing. Voldemort didn't even have the qualifications to be the heir. The reason was unproven, but he could only order BASILISK to kill and take away all the property for him, instead of owning that This priceless treasure.

Thinking of this, Harry couldn't help but rejoice, he couldn't even imagine what the world would be like after the crazy Voldemort got that book.

However, presumably SalazarSlytherin did not expect that someone would successfully kill BASILISK and dissect it.Because of this, Harry and the others were able to obtain this black book by a trick, and Harry even had the qualifications to become the heir - he would say that he was only qualified because he still had a long way to go to become the real heir. Way to go.

The book left by Salazar Slytherin cannot be flipped at will. Except for the first page, each subsequent page can only be opened after completing the spell left by the previous page-the ability determines the fate.It has to be said that Slytherin is extreme and strict, and his character can be seen from his black book tailored for the heir.

Last night, he and Draco managed to turn to the third page, or because the spell recorded on it was only a so-called "primary spell", but even so, the two of them had already felt the powerful magic power contained in it.

For the two who are eager for power, this book is undoubtedly a huge surprise, and Harry firmly believes that this will be a surprise that allows them to control their own destiny.
