[HP] Noble

Christmas is coming soon, maybe it snowed again last night, Scorpius subconsciously looked out of the window when he got up early in the morning, and found that even the window was covered with a thin layer of ice, and usually he could see some strange-shaped swimming Fish, but today I can't see anything.Scorpius stretched, yawned lazily, and shifted his gaze to the pile of colorful presents beside the bed.

Oh, this weight seems to be a bit bigger than last year... Scorpius sighed in admiration, left a pile of presents waiting for the owner to unwrap, got out of bed and walked into the bathroom.After taking a comfortable shower, he ran back to bed and rubbed himself for a while before sitting up and seriously unwrapping his presents—some gifts were expected, for example, what Hermione gave would always be an interesting book. The second was about aquatic plants, Goyle and Crabbe had limited edition German chocolate, Pansy sent a tie that fit perfectly with his dress, Brace was a grooming suit for men...

And the Firebolt from...Professor Black.

"——This thing is really expensive... Between this... Black...Professor, you should cry when you see that exquisite dog collar I gave him... Well, it's my fault, but no one told me He, I would rather ride in a carriage than fly blindly in the sky?" Scorpius muttered and commented on his gift like an old lady, suddenly, his voice stopped, and his eyes widened—

"Oh, look, what is this?" Fishing out a small box from a pile of boxes, Scorpius was horrified to find that this decent box came from his partner of the day—"It must not be a ring, Potter, I have no intention of accepting your marriage proposal." The black-haired boy sneered while shaking his head and opened the gift box that was more suitable for Slytherin's taste, and surprisingly, there was a moving golden snitch inside .

"What's the matter with this family? The world is gallonized?—Wait, he didn't take it directly from the Gryffindor set..." Scorpius narrowed his eyes and looked from He took out the golden snitch from the small and exquisite box. After some identification, he confirmed that, except for a thin golden chain on his body, this golden snitch can be used as real. Look, the wings Still fluttering.

Scorpius sighed contentedly, and hung this special necklace and other things on the head of the bed in a wealthy manner—he had seen a Quidditch game golden snitch sold individually in a Quidditch supply store, because the uniform They are all handcrafted from pure gold, and the cheapest one for such a small ball costs 50 Galleons... 50!Garen!

Local tycoon!

Next to his partner's box, there is a red and gold box from Ron Weasley - if it weren't for him, this color combination would never appear in the Slytherin vault in this life, but aside from this Needless to say, this time Scorpius was really shocked, and at the same time found that he didn't count the youngest son of the Weasley family when he counted the presents—opened the box that seemed quite big—to see Knowing that this packaging must be made by Potter, Scorpius found a bloody fang lying quietly inside.

The moment the box was opened, a handful of silver powder jumped out, and then jumped in mid-air and slowly formed words-this is of course Hermione's masterpiece: Beware, the basilisk's teeth are highly poisonous.

Scorpius: "..."

For Merlin's sake, everyone knows that Salazar Slytherin once had a basilisk as a pet. The snake is also a symbol of Slytherin. This guy gave himself a poisonous snake tooth, which was still bloody... Is he out of his head or am I being narrow-minded... or is it the way I open the gift?Scorpius thought painfully, and felt that he still decided to hand over this gift to Professor Snape to verify its authenticity.

After opening all the presents, Scorpius picked up the last small box at his feet that almost made him kick under the bed.

It came in a very fine, Slytherin green velvet box, with a small square box tied with a silver ribbon - classy packaging, understated flamboyance.

It is self-evident who the giver is.

Scorpius hesitated before opening it. Due to Mr. Weasley's snake teeth, he had to say that this year's Christmas presents might be a bit too exotic.

Tear off the top ribbon and carefully put it aside, Scorpius slowly opened the small box——

Then Scorpius' scalp exploded.

In the velvet box, lay tightly a carved, ancient key.

A Gringotts key.

Mr. Draco Malfoy, Master Malfoy, the only official heir of the Malfoy family... gave him...

Well, a vault.

... This can no longer be simply summed up by local tyrants, and Scorpius can't even think of an adjective to describe such absurd behavior.

Scorpius almost missed Christmas breakfast because of this domineering Christmas gift that shocked Scorpius for a long time.Maybe Scorpius would have missed lunch if Mentor Elgar, who was next door, hadn't passed by his room and dragged him out.He doesn't even remember how he got to the auditorium...maybe he drifted past.Sitting down next to the nonchalant Prince Slytherin with a dazed face, Scorpius sighed, grabbed a piece of toast, and started spreading jam on it.

"You haven't buttered yet." Draco's voice floated from beside him.

"I'm on a diet," Scorpius said listlessly, "...well, Merry Christmas, Draco."

Draco grunted perfunctorily and continued with his breakfast.I haven't seen any movement around me for a long time, and after waiting patiently for a while, I heard the sound of the fork being pushed back on the table. The platinum nobleman took a sip of the milk tea and raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction.Sure enough, the next second, his sleeve was tugged lightly. Draco put down his cup, lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at the embarrassed second-year Slytherin beside him: "Well, what's the matter?"

"Haven't you opened the Christmas present?" Scorpius asked expectantly.

"It's disassembled." Draco pulled back his sleeves, and said calmly, "The broom repair kit you gave is okay, the homework was done well, and I really like the old handmade brand in Italy. "Speaking of which, Draco paused and narrowed his eyes slightly, "But please forgive me for having doubts... Dear Mr. Gretel, what's the matter with the gardening scissors?"

Scorpius put on a look of grief and indignation.

"Come on, I've given them all away, it's too late to show this expression now." Master Malfoy said very forgivingly.

"Keep your broom from getting too leafy," Scorpius said dryly, glaring at Draco nervously.

"You're expecting me to trim a little bunny out of my broom with that horrible tool?" Draco sneered bitterly, sarcastically.

If you want, you can.Scorpius thought silently in his heart, and dragged a piece of bacon in front of him dejectedly: "I have already explained it, before you are busy laughing at me, let me tell you what made you think of giving me a gift." The whole vault?"

When Draco was asked suddenly, he was startled and said hesitantly, "That may not be a vault."

Scorpius raised his head sharply: "Maybe?"

"That's the vault of Aunt Bella's house. I've never gone in." Draco shrugged and said mockingly, "The key my aunt gave me before entering Azkaban. I think it's important to me. I said it’s not very useful, so I’ll give it to you.” Scorpius nodded slowly, and Draco rang out in a trance. Didn’t Draco have a “notorious” Death Eater aunt locked up in Azkaban?But after thinking about it, I still felt something was wrong: "This gift is too expensive, I can't accept it, why don't you give me another one?"

"No one can ask the giver to change himself a Christmas present, rude child, etiquette has been learned in the stomach of a dog?"

"Yo, I haven't said your 'it won't do me any good, so I'll give it to you'. What am I, a beggar? Or a street singer?"

"Well, my wording was wrong—boy, I'm afraid you'll have to go to Gringotts to find out if it's really valuable." Draco frowned a little displeased, "Maybe a Nat in it is No."

How can it be.Scorpius rolled his eyes, feeling the need to write a letter to Dad about it, maybe he'd discuss it with Mr Malfoy himself - it was a vault after all.

Terrible.

Can't he send something a little more normal?Scorpius glanced at Draco complainingly: "Where do you want me to put such a valuable thing?"

"Except hanging on your chest, put it wherever you want." Picking up a meal towel and wiping his mouth gracefully, Prince Slytherin said flatly.

Scorpius blushed: "It's just hanging on my chest because I'm afraid of losing it-hey, that happened to me last year, can you not think about it?"

Draco threw away the meal supplement in his hand, turned his head and showed a standard Malfoy smirk at the second-year Slytherin: "I will never forget it."

After breakfast, Draco was gone... or rather, most of the Slytherins were gone.Scorpius wandered aimlessly around the castle, and saw Harry and the Weasley brothers outside the snow-capped castle, having a lively snowball fight.Hermione stood aside, looking anxious and excited, and when Scorpius approached, she raised her eyebrows and growled loudly: "You boy with a cold-dammit, Harry, you can't put a snowball in George's In the sweater—”

The twin brothers warmly invited Scorpius to join. After thinking about it for a while, Scorpius still shook his head and sat down to chat with Hermione.The snow fell again around lunch time, and the boys had to stop their activities and go back to the castle, warm up their clothes before returning to the Great Hall - there was hardly anyone at the Slytherin table.

"Damn it, why did they go?" Scorpius was dumbfounded.

"I heard Pansy and Daphne yelling for makeup this morning," said Hermione quickly.

"What? Makeup?" Scorpius yelled strangely, "Makeup is still painted skin! It takes seven or eight hours?"

"There are a lot of specialties in the beauty spell, which cannot be replaced by a radiant spell. Most of them are ancient and cumbersome, and it takes a lot of experience and time to complete." Hermione stroked her hair, her voice became a little deeper, and said Halfway through, she seemed to become a little shy, and her voice suddenly tightened, "Of course, I was just looking around in the library."

"You should use these, don't waste your knowledge, Hermione." Harry reminded gently, "Girls should be the most beautiful today."

……

Finally in the evening, Scorpius saw Draco in the common room.He looks great, the low-key black silk fits him quite well, making his figure look slender and moderate, the white lining is clean and white, and with a suitable tie, the whole person is simply shining and very sexy.When Scorpius met him, he was sneering, bending slightly to say something to Astoria.

Astoria's normally brilliant blond hair became more shiny today, fluffy down to her waist, tied with an elegant silver headband, she was wearing a dark blue dress with a puffed skirt, It looks cute and stylish.She smiled, as if she hadn't seen Draco's blunt expression, and listened attentively to what he had to say.

Not far away, Pansy was sitting on the sofa with her arms folded. She also tidied herself up, her hair was loosely rolled up, and the hairpin that Scorpius gave her last year was inserted between her temples.

It was she who first spotted Scorpius: "Oh, Scorpius, look at you, where are you going crazy?"

"I didn't." Scorpius wrinkled his nose. "The result of an afternoon? Beautiful, Pansy—and you, Astoria."

The little girl gave him a sweet smile, but the senior Slytherin beside her curled her lips in disdain, and impatiently asked the second-year Slytherin who had just hurried into the lounge: "Where have you been?"

"Go out for a walk. I don't need to dress up." Scorpius thought for a while, "I will change into the dress and go to the auditorium soon."

"I've seen your dress, little Scorpius, remember to use the tie I gave you." Pansy gave him a contrived wink.

"We'll be waiting for you in the auditorium," Draco said shortly, "and, when the ball starts, remember what you said."

Scorpius's dress was a well-formed Slytherin green and white shirt. Putting on that formal and regular outfit, he swayed in front of the mirror for a few minutes, and listened contentedly to the mirror's fussy praise for him for a while, Scorpius Pi pulled out his wand, hesitating whether to use two radiance spells, but then he thought that he didn't know how to do this spell, so he put the wand back in his trouser pocket angrily, and hurried to the auditorium.

Surprisingly, Potter was standing outside the Slytherin cellar waiting for him.

"You have the courage to stand alone at the door of Slytherin." Scorpius rushed up, patted him on the shoulder and praised him.

"Well, it's a reward for you to compromise and agree to dance." Harry was obviously relieved to see Scorpius, and he put his wand back into his pocket.Scorpius took this opportunity to size him up for a while, and found that the savior didn't seem to have put much thought into taking care of himself, but maybe at Sirius' insistence, he took off his glasses and used a magic eye-adjusting magic Curse, this made him look a lot more energetic, without the cover of old-fashioned glasses, his green eyes looked particularly bright and energetic.

Suddenly, Scorpius heard the Hufflepuff girls discussing in a certain classroom that Potter was also quite handsome.

... For God's sake, he listened to it as a joke, and seemed to have a mysterious smile on his face.

The two were silent all the way, and finally stopped in front of the auditorium gate, and then stared at the terrible gate together like a monster.

Scorpius felt that he was about to suffocate with tension, he straightened his body, and whispered stiffly: "...After the opening dance, we will break up, Potter—do you hear me?"

"Oh, whatever you want...Speaking of it, can you not be so nervous, kid." Harry comforted Scorpius, although in fact he was ten thousand times more nervous than anyone at the moment, he reminded unkindly, "We It's definitely not the worst combination - just think about it, the terrifying combination of Sirius and Snape is at the bottom of our list!"
