if i am not me

On the morning of the second day of Christmas, the always noisy Hogwarts College was in a quiet atmosphere, and the already quiet Slytherin cellar was extraordinarily quiet at this moment, as if it were midnight.

In the dormitory for two in the fourth grade, Harry struggled with difficulty in his sleep, but after a long time, the feeling of being suppressed remained unchanged.Frowning delicately, he opened his narrowed eyes in a daze, but it took a long time to realize what the weight on his waist was.

Difficultly removing Draco's hand that was holding him from his waist, Harry took a deep breath, allowing fresh oxygen to flow into his lungs before turning his head to look at the boy who was still sleeping peacefully next to him.

Draco's hair, which was always meticulously combed with hairspray, was messy and scattered around his cheeks, and his usually shrewd and stable image was completely replaced by a slightly childish sleeping face, which made Harry feel extremely cute.But thinking about the unrest last night, he still stretched out his hand maliciously and pinched Draco's cheek as a punishment—although the person who was punished had no idea what the reason for the punishment was.

Feeling the discomfort on his cheek, Draco mumbled subconsciously and poked it with his hands, but he didn't know that this rare action aroused Harry's interest.

Raising his eyebrows with interest, Harry began to slide his fingers slowly across Draco's cheeks, and the itching caused by the flick made Draco's originally peaceful face slowly wrinkle.Chucking, Harry grew more teased watching his reaction.Suddenly, Drake's closed eyes suddenly opened, and the hand he had been deliberately harassing Drake's face was also grabbed violently, and then, a strong force came from the wrist, dragging him down.

There was a flash of light in the green eyes, and the instinct of Harry's body made him deftly lower his wrist in an instant, and with a sharp shake, he released the hand that was holding him.But his movements didn't stop there. On the contrary, he followed the trend and took the hand into his own in a tangle.It wasn't until this moment that Harry looked triumphantly at the boy who was crushed under him, and was satisfied to see a trace of unwillingness flashing in those blue eyes.

Feeling the restless struggle of that hand, Harry smiled brightly, and simply put all his weight on it, trying to make him unable to move.But just when he was about to appreciate Drake's rare embarrassment, there was a hint of success in Drake's eyes.

Although his skills could not match the dexterity that Harry had cultivated since he was a child, out of his understanding of Harry, Draco resolutely stretched out his free hand and swept towards Harry's neck.

Hearing the subsequent wind, Harry immediately counterattacked with his hands.He had known for a long time that Drake would not succumb to this, so it was no surprise that this move aroused his desire to fight.It's just that he miscalculated Drake's plan, and at the same time he avoided the hand, his lips were captured by the owner of the hand.

Facing the familiar warm touch, surprise flashed across Harry's eyes, and then a blush crept up his cheeks.But Harry was worthy of being Harry, and being shy was only a matter of a second.But in the blink of an eye, he reacted and closed his bright eyes with a smile, and began to concentrate on feeling his lover's enthusiasm.

Perhaps, such a good morning kiss is also good.

Unlike the two leisurely couples, in a large and gorgeous manor in the mountains of southern Wiltshire, a strange atmosphere pervades the moment the first owl arrives early in the morning.

Seeing her husband slowly put down the latest Daily Prophet with an uncertain expression, Narcissa served him a cup of coffee, picked up the newspaper, and read it carefully.After all, she was very curious about what kind of content could make her husband have such a look on his face.

The first few pages of the newspaper were still full of reports about the Ministry of Magic. It was nothing more than that Fudge welcomed the leader of a certain country again, and which countries Deputy Minister Porter went to for friendly visits during Christmas, etc. content.After a brief glance, Narcissa flipped back, and finally stopped at the report about the Hogwarts ball.

At the top of the report are huge photos. In the photos, beautifully dressed teenagers and girls are dancing and dancing with joyful smiles. Below the photos are rows of ink-colored handwriting. From time to time, a few extremely conspicuous Warrior photo.

"Christmas Special Report - Rita Ski.

Just last night, the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry held a grand Triwizard Tournament Yule Ball, and I was fortunate enough to see the outstanding demeanor of the three warriors.Durmstrang's warrior Viktor Krum must have been well known, and the accomplished Quidditch player was no slouch when it came to dancing.His dancing partner, Miss Hermione Granger, is said to be a talented woman from Hogwarts College, 'a beautiful girl', 'it's unbelievable. '——This is the sentiment from most of the students, a girl who did not want to be named said, 'She concealed it very successfully. '” There are two photos attached to this passage, the larger one is Krum dancing with her arms around her partner, and the smaller one is his partner, the girl named Granger is intimate photo of dancing with a red-haired boy.

Frowning, Narcissa ignored the paragraphs analyzing the possible entanglements between the above three, and continued to look down.The following content is about Beauxbaton's player Fleur. In related reports, Rita Ski's words ambiguously hinted that this outstanding girl has caused countless disputes among the boys of the three schools. It seems that she is the real The "beautiful woman is a disaster".

After reading these boring things patiently, Narcissa finally saw the reports about the Hogwarts warriors, and understood the root cause of her husband's expression.

"'Always inseparable.', this is the consensus of almost everyone who knows them, and a friendly student even boldly pointed out that he had already 'understood' the pure relationship between them a year ago .”

There are still two photos next to this passage, but unlike the previous ones, there are different characters interspersed in the middle.There are only two people in the photo, a black-haired boy and a platinum-blond boy.In the photo, they are embracing each other intimately at this time, dancing the dance steps that have a very obvious meaning for people in the magic world—especially for people from a pure-blood family like theirs.

Narcissa's brows were completely tangled together.There is nothing overly explicit about Rita Ski's essay; instead, she seems to be quoting the students' comments.However, Narcissa is very clear that even a fool should understand the information revealed between the lines.

If it wasn't for this woman, I still have some scruples about the influence of the Malfoy family on pure-blood forces...

Sighing slightly, Narcissa slowly put down the Daily Prophet in her hand, leaned against Lucius' wide armchair and sat beside him, raised her hand to stroke his forehead and began to massage gently.

Although she already knew the meaning of the closeness of the two children and what the two little guys would turn into, she didn't expect this day to come so early.

"What do you think?"

Listening to his wife's question, Lucius looked at the thick stack of newspapers with the same frown on his brows.

The Malfoy family is undoubtedly one of the oldest families in the wizarding world. Thousands of years of inheritance have brought them countless wealth, fame, and status, as well as countless strict traditions and ancestral precepts.For centuries, they have habitually followed the marriages between pure-blood families, and as the sole heir of the Malfoy family, Draco's responsibilities are self-evident.

It is precisely because of the particularity of Draco's identity that when Harry first appeared, Lucius didn't like this child very much.After all, as the head of the Malfoy family, in his opinion, there is absolutely no need for Draco to befriend an orphan from the Muggle world, even if the orphan is a Slytherin.

But it turns out that Drake's choice was right, that kid is very good, given time, I believe he will definitely become Drake's most important support.

Believe in your own eyes, this is one of Malfoy's family mottos, and it is also the reason why they gradually accepted the in-depth contact between Draco and Harry.Coupled with the later rise of Harry's guardian, Lucius paid more and more attention to everything this child brought to Draco.And in more and more frequent contact, they also gradually understand Harry's character and ability.

However, this does not mean that they can accept their children marrying a same-sex, and this same-sex is also a Muggle-born commoner.

Indeed, the magic world does not have any discrimination or restrictions on love affairs and marriages between same-sex couples, but the problem of offspring still exists.It's not that there is no way to solve it. It's okay if they are all women. Although potions are rare, it is not difficult to want children.But if they are both male wizards, their physical structure is destined to put complicated and obscure or even complicated magic spells and extremely rare potion preparations in front of their heirs.Of course Lucius has the ability to solve these problems, but the premise is that he is willing.

As a father, he respects his children's choices, but this does not prevent him from still retaining his bottom line.After all, he didn't want the partner of his future heir to cause any trouble for his precious son, and for the Malfoys, the intervention of a Muggle was a big deal.

But... the world changes, and so do people.During the more than ten days of direct contact with Harry and Mary during the World Cup, the most intuitive contact allowed the Malfoys to discover the abnormal interaction between the two children, and it also aroused their thinking.

In the silent study room, Lucius smelled the faint aroma of coffee in the air, and his blue eyes, like Drake's, stared at the book wall in the study room for a moment.Among the various books, a few trinkets are placed in a very inconspicuous position, and if they are not looking for them, almost no one will notice—they are some exquisite magic toys, even if you can tell from the degree of wear It's been a long time, but it is still well preserved.

With a deep sigh, Lucius, who had been silent for a long time, finally said quietly, "Harry is a good boy."

There were only a few short words, but Narcissa couldn't help but smile slightly, because she already understood her husband's decision.

While the Malfoys were grieving over that report, many people were looking at it from different angles.After all, as the sole heir of the Malfoy family, many of Draco's actions, including his future marriage issues, can have an immeasurable impact on certain areas of the wizarding world.Especially in the current period when the situation has gradually become turbulent, it makes people want to peek into the position of this ancient family.

One must know that if Malfoy, a pure-blooded family, really accepted a Muggle as the spouse of their heir, the meaning it represented might be enough to cause earth-shaking changes in the status of this ancient family in the wizarding world.

In the tall tower, an old man's eyes are shining with a rare joy, which is different from the usual expression, but from the heart.

"This is good news, Fox." He said to himself, and then a pleasant bird song made the smile lines in the corners of the old man's eyes deepen a little.

He knows Voldemort too well, so from this report, he understands what the matter between the two boys may eventually lead to-whether they still follow that man sincerely, but the Malfoy family is doomed no longer to be trusted.

If Voldemort could lose an arm, and all he had to do was wait and support, why wouldn't he do it?

The author has something to say: Uh... can I see it now?
