[HP] Dearest Enemy

Aaron's experience before meeting Harry (not relevant to the text)

Alex DeWalt Palampion was born on 27 November [-] at the Pallampion Estate in Abertillery.Alex's mother was very weak and died of illness when he was four years old.Alex's memory of his mother is very vague, except that his own mother has beautiful blond hair and has been bedridden, but there is no other impression.

Alex was a very lively kid when he was young, well, maybe too lively is appropriate.The only Palampion children of his own age were a cousin who was seven years his junior, so Alex's childhood had been spent mischievously bullying the house-elves on the manor and causing trouble.Mr. Palampion has a headache for his naughty son, but he is entangled in complicated family affairs and has been unable to discipline this fearless guy well.Alex's tutor changed every six months, and none of them could teach for a long time.It wasn't until Alex's grandfather, Stanley Palampion, returned to the manor from India that the lawless little guy started to settle down.Unlike his son, Mr. Stanley is very aware of the rebellious spirit in his grandson's bones, so he doesn't make any rules, but just teaches him various things according to Alex's preferences.Alex finally found the best teacher in his life, and until he became an adult, the relationship with his grandpa has always been very harmonious.

Since Alex was enlightened at the age of six, he followed his father to various social places.Alex is very smart. When he was 11 years old on the Hogwarts train, he easily attracted the attention of many children, among them was the Louis Claude who almost changed his life.The brown-haired boy was a Muggle through and through, and said very little during the entire trip, but it was his silence that caught Alex's attention.Alex spent a whole year bullying the quiet Ravenclaw, which once caused tension between the two colleges.But Louie easily forgave Alex's various pranks on him and became Alex's strongest buddy in school.

In fact, at the beginning of sorting, the sorting hat once considered sorting Alex into Slytherin. He told this active little boy that Gryffindor and Slytherin were both suitable for him.But Alex once heard someone comment at the banquet that his father acted like a pure-blood Slytherin, so he resolutely refused to go to that college, and finally entered Gryffindor as he wished.From a very young age, Alex has always been willing to fight against his father, until he entered Hogwarts, and the school rules were like a decoration in the air to him.Mr. Palampion received letters from the dean almost every week. This naughty boy was really a headache.Mr Palampion had planned to take the troublemaker home after Alex finished first grade, but his son insisted on a fight to stay in school.He doesn't like the cold father and the empty manor, and the colorful life of the school is like a paradise to him.So Mr. Palampion agreed to his request, but he didn't expect that his precious egg actually increased the number of violators from one to a group. The leader is of course Alex, but in many cases the person who came up with those horrible ideas But it was Louis Claude who was following him.

Alex had been flirting with older girls since second grade, something he'd learned in the adult social arenas.Alex was very cute when he was a student, and he had a very sweet mouth. Girls liked to talk to him.But the person Alex really liked never showed up. He kept changing the girl he liked, the most exaggerated time was changing one a day, and kept this record for a whole week.At such times, Louis never persuaded his friend to stop such frivolous behavior, but silently wrote down the girl's preferences and precautions for dating that he had found out in a notebook and handed it to Alex.So when the two of them were in their third grades, no one didn't know that the people who knew Alex Palampion best were not the Gryffindors who often made trouble with him, but the one who never seemed to be very good. Talking, but always standing Ravenclaw not far from him.

However, when Alex's third year of study was coming to an end, he picked up the fun he had at the beginning of the school: bullying Louie in various ways.Everyone is worried that Louis will break up with Alex, and their friendship seems to be unsustainable.No one doubted that Louis would transfer schools because of this, and even the principal threatened Alex by withdrawing from school, but Alex never stopped bullying Louis until Louis, who seemed never to be angry, stood in front of Granville. In front of Fondo's lounge door, he yelled loudly to tell Alex to come out and fight him, and things seemed to have a tendency to develop towards the end.

Alex showed up with a slobbery look.He accepts Louis' duel, but refuses anyone to be a witness, nor does he want anyone to be his assistant.He unilaterally set the duel venue on the Astronomy Tower, so on the night of the duel between the two, almost the entire Gryffindor and Ravenclaw people crowded to the Astronomy Tower to watch the duel, and then Alex He did something that petrified everyone on the spot except himself.

He knocked Louie's wand away at the start of the duel, then charged as fast as he could, and planted a kiss on Louie's lips.

Louis was stunned, and then slapped him and fled away from the Astronomy Tower.Alex had a victorious smile on his face all the time, but no one could tell that he was actually sad.

Everyone guessed that Louis must drop out of school. He was just a mudblood, and he couldn't compete with Alex, who had a prominent and ancient family.Louie was about to drop out too, but Alex stopped him on his way to the professor's office, ignoring Louie's angry snarls, and directly bound him into an empty classroom with a binding spell, and gave him a long kiss , and then apologized to Louis very sincerely.

When the professor came after hearing the news, he found that only Louis was sitting in the empty classroom with a blushing face, and Alex had already disappeared.

Everyone was surprised to see Louis back with Alex, and the two became even closer than before, almost inseparable despite being in two different houses.Under Louis' repeated requests, Alex's violation of school rules restrained a lot.He stopped making trouble with others, flirting around the school like a fool, and focused on his studies.The professors were all relieved, and Mr. Palampion was also delighted to see that his troublemaker finally got the hang of it, so he began to plan for his future again.

On the Christmas day after Alex's fifteenth birthday, Mr. Palampion threw a special party for him, and invited girls around his age.Alex knew what his dad was up to at the beginning of the party, and told his father on the second day of the party that he wasn't interested in those girls at all.

Mr. Palampion didn't understand, so he used his family as his bargaining chip.Alex frowned, and found an excuse to shirk.So for half a year, he was fighting with his father by letter.Alex has always been reluctant to accept the engagement, and Louis also knows about Alex's situation, but he just pretends that he doesn't know anything, and even the sadness is not written on his face.Later, when Alex was negotiating with Mr. Palampion after returning home during the holidays, he had to tell the reason why he did not want to accept the engagement: he was a homosexual.

Mr. Palampion couldn't believe it, he always thought it was Alex's excuse.Alex sneered and did not speak, and accepted a banquet arranged by his father.At the banquet, a girl of his age had a crush on Alex and tried every means to get close to him throughout the holiday, but Alex kissed Louis in front of her, and the girl didn't bother again over him.

Louie is very disturbed, he does not think Alex is doing the right thing.He persuaded Alex not to fight against his father, but Alex didn't care.Mr. Palampion finally realizes that his son isn't just making excuses, and he's caught in a dilemma.He asked the girl about Louis, and after a simple investigation, he realized that what his son said was true, and that he already had someone he liked.Mr. Palampion was angry and sad, and his own investigation into Louie's background made him even more angry.

Louis' parents, both Muggles, divorced when he was very young for some reason.Louis has custody of his father, but he has always longed to live with his mother.When Louis was in the fourth grade, his mother married an American. At that time, he really wanted Louis to live with him on the other side of the ocean, but because of Alex, Louis gave up this opportunity.So Mr. Palampeon went to the boy and had a long talk with him.No one knew the content of the long talk, but after the long talk ended, Louis' mental state plummeted, and Alex was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

Alex vaguely knew that his father had checked Louie, but he didn't expect to meet him in person, because Mr. Palampion looked down on Mudblood very much.Louie lied to Alex, saying his mother had come to ask his father for custody of himself.

Alex felt faintly uneasy in his heart, and he began to raise money everywhere to prepare for living with Louis, and he wanted to be with Louis.But before he could find out the loopholes in Louis' words, his lover and friend left without saying goodbye.Alex didn't understand the ins and outs of the whole thing until a few days later, and then rushed into the manor angrily, asking where his father Louis had gone.

Mr. Palampion did not hide. He told his son what he had done.Louis was sent to the United States by him, with his sponsorship and a very valuable letter of introduction, he will live with his mother and live the life of a rich man.Alex yelled at his father angrily, destroying everything that could be destroyed in Noda's drawing room.Mr. Palampion was also very angry, and the two quarreled loudly in the drawing room, and finally drew their wands at each other.At this time, Alex's grandfather Stanley rushed over after receiving the cry of the house elf, and stopped the impending father-son fratricide.

Stanley took the young and energetic Alex to the annex where he lived.He didn't blame the child for pulling his cane at his father, but told him to cry if he wanted to, and there was no need to bear it in front of him.Alex finally hugged his grandfather and cried loudly. He couldn't understand why Louis betrayed him so easily.Stanley sorted out the ins and outs of the whole incident for him, and pointed out vaguely that if he left the family, everything he had now would be lost.Alex finally knew that Louis left him because he knew what he wanted, and he never cared about the other person's feelings.Stanley also comforted his grieving son and asked Mr. Palampion to apply for a one-year suspension for Alex. He took the disheartened teenager to travel in Europe, hoping to heal the child with adventure broken heart.

Alex was only 16 at the time, but it was during this year's trip that he fell in love with all kinds of magical creatures.So when he returned to school, this subject that he was not good at became his best subject.When Alex graduated he was directly employed by the Department of Magical Creatures Protection at the Ministry of Magic, becoming a staff member of the Ministry of Magic.Alex knew that Mr. Palampion had secretly made a lot of connections for him so that he could enter the Ministry of Magic so smoothly, but he didn't want to be the type of person who constantly seeks power, so he took the initiative to take the initiative to inspect Great Britain The errand that others are unwilling to do is to protect all the magical creatures on the island, and began to rush from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

For Alex, the boy who would be crazy for his beloved had died forever in the early spring two years ago, and he was trying to learn the life philosophy taught by Stanley: happy life.It's a simple sentence, but it's very difficult to do it.While groping, he ran around, looking for his own happiness, and became lively and cheerful again.He still refuses to help his father share the complicated family affairs, but he will return to the manor to live with his father for a few days at Christmas, although the two will not speak a word for almost a whole day.

In the early spring of [-], he met another person who changed the trajectory of his life: Harry Potter.
