[HP] Noble

When Scorpius came to Draco, he seemed to be flipping through a very esoteric-looking book called "Interpreting Quidditch: A Historical Retrospective" - ​​Draco seemed to be interested in the illustrations in the book. I'm so interested in the difficult moves made by one of the star players in the movie-sometimes Pansy and Blaise are right, Draco is a complete nerd-he's easy to fall for I can immerse myself in it.

Because if he is sober now, then it is impossible for him to stare at the book in his hand in a public place like a bookstore while gesticulating with the free hand-looking at that posture, it seems that he is reading It's kind of like the way the flying man in the picture in the book holds his broom.

Draco was so focused that he didn't even know someone was sneaking up on him - until he followed the famous Quidditch player in the picture in the book and did a flip Elbow movement, according to that movement, his elbow clamped against the side of his body and slammed back—

"Ouch!"

When he realized that he seemed to have bumped into someone, Prince Slytherin's silver-gray pupils shrank violently. He turned his head, and was about to say "I'm sorry" to the person who quietly approached him, and then teach him a lesson. He "don't approach me silently like this next time", but when he saw clearly who was the person behind him leaning against the bookshelf with his back bent and his stomach clutched, he suddenly shut his mouth.

It was completely different from the noisy sound outside the bookstore. At this moment, the bookstore was very quiet - so the black-haired Slytherin's painful cry was almost the only sound.

Draco closed the book in his hand with a "snap", and threw it into the box he used to buy books, then he turned around, facing the bookcase that was frowning and touching Rubbing the black-haired Slytherin on his stomach - damn it, even though Scorpius was standing at the corner of the bookshelf at the moment, it didn't seem to respond to the sunlight shining on half of his body from the window, but more Unfortunately, with every movement of Scorpius, the delicate gemstone ring on his right pinky finger seemed to sparkle.

Draco almost felt himself being dazzled.

What made him even more angry was that the ring that blinded him was given to the damn senior Slytherin himself by the goddamn himself - he couldn't even let him take it from his hand Take it off - uh uh uh, to be precise, Draco didn't want him to do that either - it turns out that his vision is fine, to be precise, his vision is very good, and it's amazing Yes - this ring "given him" was undoubtedly suitable for the complexion of the dark-haired Slytherin in front of him.

—it was meant to be worn on this hand.

Draco raised his eyebrows and came to such a conclusion.

And at this time, the senior Slytherin who was standing not far from him straightened up—a second before he raised his head, Scorpius put his eyebrows back to their original height He looked at the black-haired Slytherin in front of him without guilt and looked a little arrogant, as if an emperor was waiting for his entourage to report something to him.

However, it is a pity that his entourage just complained——

"If you could look around while you're dancing, maybe Pencey and the others wouldn't laugh at you every day for being a nerd."

I never thought of myself as a "nerd". This ridiculous title should be given to the crazy girl "Hermione Granger"—what a joke, he Draco Malfoy doesn't need to hold textbooks every day Like a psychopath who recites the werewolf regulations even when he goes to the toilet, he only needs to have fun every day—occasionally spare a little time to read the textbooks—he can easily be like that mudblood girl holding books all day long A tie for first place in the exam.

Aww, not a good score - if the carved color scheme on his mouse, which he turned into a snuff bottle, could be more reasonable, he could have trampled that Mudblood by even one point , and then for a whole summer vacation, before going to bed every day, I can take out the image of her crying because she lost the first place in the grade to miss——

Of course, consciously blur that face, or he'll have nightmares.

Oh well, that's a long way off.

In general, being ridiculed with the title of "nerd" is a big taboo for Draco - he feels that he has been seriously offended intellectually.

"I didn't invite anyone to stand so close behind me just now." Draco said coldly.

"You didn't put the label 'Do not enter' on your back," Scorpius shrugged, and said naturally, "Of course, even if I did, I would still approach you like this, because I am not an idler -"

"If you're implying that I'll give you a clear position, then you're probably going to be disappointed." Draco prolonged his emphasis, put the basket with a few books in his hand on the ground, and then said lazily , "After a whole summer of observation, I don't think we can even be described as 'us' between us - 'nodding acquaintance' or 'casual acquaintance', whichever you choose, you and I, it is simply , Three or four lines can get the job done, and even writing a letter is probably a waste of time for the owl—whatever you think it has to do with it.”

Draco's long speech is accurate and sharp, and his speech is so fast that Scorpius might not even be able to keep up with it a few years ago-but fortunately, Scorpius is now using his words from Every word was understood separately, and when he heard the anger that could not be more obvious in the last sentence, Scorpius had a hard time controlling himself from laughing out loud on the spot——

Fortunately, he controlled himself.

Because he knew that even now, if he showed a smile that was more reserved than a smile, Draco could pull out his wand and point it to his nose on the spot and say any hex he wanted.

Although that kind of spell may not kill him-but disfigurement is not good, otherwise he really would not be able to explain to the more critical King Slytherin seven years later what ruined his partner The beautiful appearance (...).

"If it's about that letter, Draco," Scorpius said sincerely, "I once wasted a whole morning sitting at a desk in a daze trying to answer your letter, until someone reminded me that a real noble Maybe they don't like the kind of long reply, they like to express the intimacy between each other in a concise way—”

Scorpius' words "express the intimacy between each other" made the horror expression on Draco's face slightly weakened, but he still looked a little stubborn, with his arms folded, and he didn't look like he was going to be like that He easily bypassed someone and said: "If you want to express intimacy, maybe you can consider starting from the weather in China and continuing to the weather in England until you have filled a piece of parchment, starting from the second page, You just compare how the different weather in the two countries affects you, and in the letter assume what I would think if I were in China-then on the third page, you can properly express how your broom is accepted by me and how you feel What an honor—and then on the fourth page, warmly and hypocritically inviting me to sit in China any damn summer vacation—this is necessary, even if we both know in our hearts that I can’t step out without my father’s approval. British half-step-"

When he said this, Draco closed his mouth tightly as if he realized that he seemed to have slipped something.

Fortunately, at this time, Scorpius didn't have time to think about this question—he had already been taught by the "noble reply method" spoken by the platinum noble in front of him——

If this is really the way letters are written between the so-called British nobles.

Then His Majesty King Slytherin's so-called "point out the main point, be concise, and go straight to the point" is probably a circular letter written by the hooligans in Knockturn Alley to the next store that is about to rob.

This pit is really big.

"I'm sorry," said Scorpius sincerely, "but I rarely correspond with anyone except my family."

"You have been studying at Hogwarts for five years, and almost all of you are wizards from noble families." Draco showed a blank expression, "Don't you have to write and write during these five years?" A friend of faith?"

"..."

"It's unbelievable." Draco showed a surprised expression, "If this is the case, then I have to convince myself to forgive your recklessness out of sympathy or pity-how can I talk to someone who is not well-known? Thinking about these things—oh, it’s unimaginable, am I your first time?"

"..."

If there was any saliva or a sip of tea in Scorpius' mouth now, he would probably "poof" it all into Draco's face without hesitation—

"Yeah," Scorpius resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and said to Prince Slytherin who was genuinely surprised in front of him and didn't seem to notice what he said at all, "No matter from which angle you look at it, you It was my first—”

First kiss, sexual intercourse, falling in love—falling in love with a man, and coming out with family members at the risk of being blasted into scum by the Nine Heavens Thunder—oh, it’s an honor to count them all, De Mr. Racko Malfoy, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that the "first time" you have received may actually be much more than the "letter writing" you imagined.

"Then I will barely forgive you this time." Draco turned around and picked up the box containing his favorite books. He looked into Scorpius' eyes and said seriously, "Next time if I let you You don't want to know what terrible things can happen if you piss off a Malfoy a second time when you find out you're trying to put me off."

"Of course, I won't do it next time." The black-haired Slytherin narrowed his eyes almost immediately when he heard the keyword "forgive you". Like a sleazy scoundrel or a big liar - but that's not the point, the point is that now that Draco doesn't use the goddamn honorifics with him, that sounds horrible.

After Scorpius relaxed, he also took an empty basket that was casually placed aside, and began to pick out the books listed in the list of books he had read before——

When he was reaching for "Advanced Transfiguration: Two", he saw Draco stop in front of a particularly ornately decorated bookshelf, and then wrinkled his nose, as if picking something terrible, Got a whole set of books with fancy covers from the summer vacation.

"What's that?" Scorpius leaned over and asked with a sneer.

"Don't laugh," Draco squinted at him, showing a mocking expression, and threw the set of books he had just put into the box into Scorpius's basket, "Do you really think there are only two books?" Years need the novels written by the idiot out there? - oh yeah, I call them novels, although people probably prefer to call them 'This year all Hogwarts students, first and seventh A set of Defense Against the Dark Arts textbooks is a must."

Scorpius looked down at the book in his basket, the top one, where Lockhart was smiling brightly, showing his big white teeth.

Scorpius: "..."

He really can't figure out what kind of magical book can be full of knowledge that all students in grades one to seven can learn - and he doesn't know if there is any "Nobel Award for Best Textbook" in the magic world. Such a man can consider competing for a while, and then win a championship or something.

Just as the black-haired Slytherin was slandering, at the same time, the two Slytherins standing in the bookstore heard a particularly loud voice outside—it sounded like an amplifying spell—

"Young Harry (Draco sneered at the name almost reflexively) when he walked into Lihen Bookstore today, he just wanted to sell my autobiography-I would give this book to him for free on the spot ——But he doesn't know that he will soon get something more valuable than my book "Magic Me", in fact, he and his classmates will get a real magical me! Yes, gentlemen Ladies, it is with great pleasure and pride that I announce that this September, I will be the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"

After the words fell, there was applause and cheers outside the bookstore.

People were as happy as if the wizarding world finally had a future.

Draco: "..."

Scorpius: "..."

Draco stared at the set of books in his hand in disbelief, then raised his head to stare at Scorpius, held back for a long time, but looked shocked and said: "Merlin's underpants."

Scorpius made a face. "He's so flamboyant."
