[HP] Dearest Enemy

Chapter 113 Event 6: Professor Porter and the second item

A girl stood by the tree not far from Harry, holding a lit wand.She has disheveled, dirty, waist-length blond hair, very light eyebrows, two protruding eyes, and a kind of madness on her body, as if walking in the dark A ghost came out.

Harry blinked hard before he remembered the girl's name.

"Luna Lovegood?" Harry said her name in surprise. "Why are you here?"

"Good evening, Harry," Luna replied dreamily. "I'm looking for moonscars, they only appear on moonless nights. What are you doing here?"

"I..." Thinking turned a corner, Harry recovered from the shock, glanced at the tombstone in front of him, "I'm taking a walk."

"Oh." Luna was not surprised, "But I think you should go back to the castle as soon as possible, the whole Gryffindor is looking for you. And Professor Snape is also looking for you, I don't think his expression is very good good."

When Harry heard that Snape was looking for him, the blood on his face disappeared immediately: "Snape looking for me? Why?"

"Probably because you invited Ginny." Luna seemed to finally be interested in Harry, looking him up and down, "They think you've been hit."

Harry curled his lips involuntarily, rubbing his scar.He had been hit, but it had nothing to do with the dance.

"It's a bit late." Harry said as he walked forward, for some reason he didn't want Luna to see the tombstone behind him, "I think we should go back."

Luna made no objection, turned and walked towards the castle with Harry.

"You don't look too good," Luna said. "Have you found a date yet?"

Harry shook his head.He met Luna on the train before school started, and although he had dealt with this girl a few times afterwards, he was not very familiar with her.From what Ginny said, Luna seemed to have no friends.

"They're all talking about you and Ginny," Luna said in an erratic voice.

"I just thought she wasn't invited." Harry replied, stopping suddenly after a pause. "Luna, would you like to go to the dance with me?"

Luna's bulging eyes turned to him in surprise.

"The Yule Ball? With you?"

"Yes, as my dance partner." Harry said, "Warriors must have their own dance partner, but I haven't found a suitable one." Luna's eyes widened, and Harry suddenly regretted, "We Just lead the dance at the opening. If you don't want to or if you've been invited—"

"Of course I would!" Luna smiled, Harry had never seen her so happy, "No one has invited me to the dance yet!"

"Uh..." Harry swallowed the words that came to his lips, he really didn't want to spoil Luna's excitement, and besides, his mind was not on the matter.

Harry was met by a livid Snape in the hall, and was given a week's detention after his rant.Harry listened absent-mindedly, saying goodnight to him as he left, even ignoring the oddly troubled expression on Snape's face.

He was thinking about the tombstone he saw.Obviously, the tombstone has been around for some years, so the person buried under it must not be me, maybe it is someone with the same name and surname as me, but the middle name is also the same, this is really too coincidental.There are also scars. The moment I saw the tombstone, the scars seemed to explode my head.There was a very strange feeling in his heart. Harry couldn't tell what it was, and he was a little panicked and worried.

Who exactly is buried there?Harry thought about it all night, and fell asleep just before dawn.

Tom stood silently in front of the tombstone, without any expression on his face.

He hadn't answered Harry's calls these days, nor had he offered to speak to the boy.Tom wasn't mad that Harry liked Draco, but Dumbledore himself came to visit and nearly cornered him in Hogsmeade's hiding place.

He knew that the trial he had arranged for Harry had annoyed Dumbledore, and he also knew that Dumbledore had been waiting for such an opportunity, and even if he met him, he would not necessarily kill him immediately.But Tom didn't want to see him. Living in Hogsmeade during this time was actually very risky.Tom watched Harry silently until Harry found the tombstone.

Maybe I knew in my subconscious that he would find this place, but it was always a fluke.Tom was also shocked when Harry found the tombstone, and all the memories about Harry rushed to his eyes at that moment.The green-eyed boy fell to his knees because of the sudden feelings and memories. Tom knew that he would soon search for the deceased namesake, and then...he would get the truth.

Tom silently took out his wand and recast the protective spell around the tombstone.Harry will definitely come back here to find the answer, but he doesn't want others to see it, such as the little girl who found Harry.Harry's discovery of the tombstone seemed like an accident, but Tom knew it shouldn't be an accident.

Tom took one last look at the tombstone, turned and disappeared into the night.

Harry asked Lily for a copy of the Potter family tree, but did not find a second named Harry James Potter.All the students were excited about the upcoming Yule Ball, but Harry was uncharacteristically not interested in the ball, spending almost all his time in the library when he was not in class.At first Hermione thought Harry was researching golden eggs or doing his homework, but it soon became apparent that Harry was actually looking for something.Hermione enthusiastically offered to help, and Harry thought about it for a while before nodding in agreement.

"Are you looking for someone with the same name and surname as yourself?" Hermione asked in surprise, "Why are you looking for this?"

"Because I found my name somewhere." Harry scratched his head. "And there's no way my name is on there. I guess the person with the same name must have something to do with the school."

Hermione thought about it, and suggested to check the Hogwarts student enrollment list, but there was no second Harry Potter on it.

"The man might have worked at the school," said Hermione. "Maybe he was a professor or an administrator or something?"

Harry suddenly thought of the professor Alphat had told him many years ago, and his name was also Harry.

"Wait, I see." Harry sat up straight suddenly, "That man is Arfart's professor, and Arfart and Voldemort are classmates - this man taught at Hogwarts 50 years ago! "

Hermione jumped up suddenly: "I remember, I saw his medal in the trophy room!"

The two looked at each other, and immediately ran to the prize showroom, leaving Mrs. Pince's dissatisfied protest behind.

Where the two of them could not see, Tom frowned tightly.

Harry and Hermione inquired separately, and finally summed up a lot of information about the deceased Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.Professor Porter is very popular in the castle, and many girls had a crush on him back then; he is not very tall, has black messy hair, a pair of emerald green eyes, and a pair of round glasses; he only teaches Four years later, he retired due to illness. He was still very young when he retired, and his future whereabouts is unknown; the most important point is that Professor Porter is the godfather of Tom Riddle, who raised the man who would become Voldemort in the future. man.

Hermione didn't know that Tom Riddle was Voldemort, and kept asking why Harry's face suddenly became very bad.Harry vaguely found an excuse to slip out of the castle and came to the lake again, but the tombstone could not be found anyway.

For some reason, Harry always felt that the deceased Professor Potter had an inexplicable relationship with him. He firmly believed that Tom must know a lot, and asked him many times for this, but there was no reply from that person.

And so the thread was cut off.

The combination of Hermione and Krum at the Yule Ball almost made the jaws of the entire Hogwarts staff and students drop, and Harry and Luna intensified the effect, and even Draco's eyes widened.But Harry, who was completely absent from the ball, and Luna, who was so happy, didn't pay attention to the eyes of others.Harry had wanted to sneak back from the dance early, but Draco had told Harry that it would be rude to do so, so Harry waited until Luna was going to go back to bed before returning to the dorm.

That night Harry had a very long dream. He dreamed that he was sitting in Snape's office, but that office was completely different from Snape's study-like office.Harry was sitting behind one desk correcting homework, while a young man wearing glasses was busy behind another desk, a lock of hair stuck stubbornly behind his head.

"Would you like tea?" the young man asked when Harry put the corrected homework on his desk.Harry nodded, then went to sit in an armchair on the other side of the room, feeling his heart beat a little faster as he watched the man bustle about on the short table in front of him.

"Are you going to the Halloween ball, Harry?" Harry heard himself asking.

The young man showed a gentle smile, added a spoonful of sugar to the teacup and handed it to himself: "Of course I'm going too."

"Who are you going to invite to be your dance partner?" Harry asked, holding a teacup.

"I didn't think about it." The young man took a sip from his teacup, "I don't like dancing."

For some reason, Harry felt happy.

"So what do you want to be?" Harry asked again.The young man thought for a while, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"I will go in a black robe," he said. "You will know then."

Harry raised his eyebrows, looked at the young man and smiled gently.

However, at some point, Harry found himself spinning circles on the dance floor with that young man.The young man's body and steps were very stiff, and he almost stepped on himself...

Harry opened his eyes in the dark, the scar on his forehead felt a familiar sting.The green-eyed boy covered his scar with his hands, recalling in the dark everything he had just dreamed about.

It was a memory, Tom's memory. He had a deep feeling for that green-eyed young man wearing glasses. It was a feeling that Harry knew but didn't understand. This discovery brought about as much shock as Harry saw. The shock I felt when I saw my own tombstone.

The second project is to rescue the hostages tied to the bottom of the lake.Harry was very puzzled when he heard "the most beloved baby" in the water. After analyzing it with Ron and Hermione for a long time, he didn't know what they would get to the bottom of the lake.Finally, when he dived to the bottom of the lake with the Bubble Head Charm, he found that Draco was tied to the sculpture in the middle of the mermaid village together with Hermione and Fleur's sister, and his pale blond hair was swaying in the water like smoke.

Harry originally planned to take Hermione away, but the mermaids refused to let them. Harry kept stalemate with them until Krum with the shark's head appeared, but he never saw Fleur.Harry finally drove away the mermaid with a spell, and brought Fleur's sister out of the water with Draco.It had been over an hour, and Draco and Gabriel woke up immediately after surfacing.But when Draco found out that Harry wasted his time waiting for Fleur, he almost exploded.Although in the end the judges gave Harry a high score on Dumbledore's suggestion, Draco still refused to talk to the "brainless green-eyed idiot".Harry finally got angry. For the first time, he and Draco fought all the way back to the castle. Ron, who followed to congratulate Harry for successfully passing the game, was dumbfounded.

"It's hard to see how good your relationship is because you're arguing like this." Blaise Zabini whispered beside Draco with a half-smile, "Baby of 'Warrior Potter'."

Draco glared at Blaise, and Harry blushed for some reason, remembering what he had dreamed about.

"If it weren't for the honor of the school, I wouldn't have made myself look so inelegant." Draco blushed and yelled at Harry, "If you lose the third project, don't Blame me for cursing you for being brainless."

Blaise smiled at Harry inexplicably, and followed Draco back to the cellar calmly. Harry was still standing where he was, watching their backs disappear behind the corridor.

"What's so interesting about the two of them." Ron poked Harry's arm. "Also, when did Draco become your 'favorite baby'?"

"Shut up, Ron." Harry gave him an annoyed look, "No nonsense."
