[HP] The Elegance of the Night

The boat sailed towards the shore quickly under the cheerful driving of several Hogwarts wizards. Madam Pomfrey forced a hot potion into the mouths of the three warriors and their hostages.Her potion was still unpalatable as always, but Yigil, who was wrapped in a thick blanket, immediately felt a rush of heat from his stomach, out of his throat, and straight to his forehead.The clothes on his body had become dry under the magic, and he was warmed up. When he saw the steam coming out of other people's ears, he knew that his image was not much better at this time.

"This medicine has too many side effects." The platinum-haired boy covered his ears with his hands, and the steam couldn't stop gushing out from his sleeves. The medicine effect made his pale face glow with a healthy blush.

"It's very effective against typhoid." Madam Pomfrey glanced at him displeased, and Draco immediately hissed at this invisible BOSS of Hogwarts.

"Draco, you are really great today." Igil felt that he had to say something at this time, and Draco's performance was unexpected. He thought that Harry, who had the upper hand, would be the first to win.

"Ygil, the water below is very icy. I have been swimming in it for an hour and have been looking for you." Because of his lover's compliment, the boy with platinum hair shivered. He looked at the other party with bright eyes and said What happened to me at the bottom of the lake.

"...I was terrified when the time was running out, but finally I found you."

Madam Pomfrey coughed, interrupting the blatant flirting of the two little snakes on the boat. She never knew that the Malfoy family kid was so thick-skinned. It was the other wizards who also soaked in the lake for an hour.

"Harry, I'm so touched. You must have suffered a lot to save me." Ron turned his head to Harry with a twitching corner of his mouth. Although Malfoy's words were a bit nasty, the red-haired boy somehow understood from it. It's not easy for contestants.The excitement that filled his heart was overtaken by a sudden feeling of friendship.

"Actually, it's okay..." Harry smiled, he didn't know the effect of the head-foaming spell, anyway, eating the gill grass made him feel the water was cool and comfortable.

"Look over there!" Hermione stood up and walked to the bow to look around. Dumbledore was talking to the leader-like mermaid with half of its body exposed on the water on the shore of the lake.Fleur Delacour hugged and kissed the little silver-haired girl emerging from the water, her face and arms covered with scars.

"She was attacked by a group of Grindylows," Madam Pomfrey explained seeing everyone on the boat looking in that direction. "Unfortunately, she couldn't continue the game."

The few warriors shrugged disapprovingly. Obviously, they didn't think there was anything to regret about the competitor's abstention. The only pity was that beautiful face, which was ruined by bloodstains.

When the boat stopped on the shore, the people in the audience cheered and rushed over.The Slytherins headed by Pansy gathered around and congratulated Draco. Although the referees hadn't given the score yet, the victory was obvious.

Ron was dragged ashore by his brother who worked in the Ministry of Magic. Percy Weasley replaced Mr. Crouch, who was said to be still ill, as the judge of the competition. Little brother, he hugged him tightly, showing his worry uncontrollably.But Ron didn't appreciate it, he kept yelling "Let go!" because Percy was holding him too tight.

Krum flicked a beetle from Hermione's hair. The beetle with marks around its antennae that looked like spectacles, flew around Draco with its small wings and landed on his hair .But it only stopped for a short while before flying away vigilantly, because Igil's gaze had been fixed on it from the moment it fell.

The scores of the second match came out quickly. After the judges' scoring, Draco and Harry tied for first place in this match, followed by Krum, and finally Delacour.Draco is very satisfied with his results, according to the total score, he is now ranked No.1.

The little snakes held an all-night celebration in the Slytherin common room that night, and this carnival caused the number of late arrivals in Slytherin House to multiply by the next morning.Fortunately, the teachers in class are very reasonable, and their accommodation allowed the little snakes to make up for their sleep in the classroom.

In the following week, Ron Weasley became the most eye-catching existence, he boasted to everyone who came to inquire, and described a hypnosis without danger.The number of mermaids who kidnapped him also increased from the first two to the last fifty.Although the little wizards knew it was false, they still listened with gusto.

After entering March, the weather began to really warm up, and the high spirits of the wizards also calmed down as the second game passed.

How the third game will be played, even the four warriors don’t know anything about it, just when people are beginning to enjoy this dull transition, Rita Skeeter, a special reporter of the Daily Prophet, once again broke the news !

When this newspaper appeared in Malfoy Manor, Lucius had already poured out the coffee in his cup without Narcissa's hands.It can be seen how lethal this report titled "The Unknown Love of the Savior" is.

"Sissy, it seems that I have to send some things to our son!" Lucius squashed the half-eaten toast with a grim expression.

When the head of the family in Malfoy Manor locked himself in the study again, the parties mentioned in the report had also received the newspaper of the day.

Maybe it was intentional by Skeeter, or maybe it was just a lack of material. The two photos on the headlines of this issue have both appeared in people's perspectives.The photo of Harry Potter being interviewed for the first time as a warrior and the kissing photo of a couple currently recognized by Snake Court are listed side by side on the front page of the newspaper. They are huge and eye-catching, just like the clamor of female reporter Rita Skeeter.

"...at the end of the second match, Harry pushed Igil Black into the boat, and he made a declaration to Draco Malfoy in the icy lake, saying that if the young master of the Malfoy family didn't treat this The heir to the Black family, he will not mind getting a foot in this relationship, to compete fairly with him, and to get back his beloved."

"He really said that?" After reading this, Igil paused.He turned his head to Draco, his tone a little cold.

"It's not what the reporter wrote." Draco denied.There is indeed ambiguity in Harry's words, so it's not an exaggeration to understand it, but admitting it at this time won't do him any good.If possible, he hoped that Harry's thoughts could be buried in the ground forever, slowly rotting away.

"She's taking revenge on us for not cooperating with her in the interview at Hogsmeade! Dumbledore has banned her from the school long ago." Draco knew what had to be done now, so he said this very loudly, Not only the little snakes at the Slytherin dining table could hear clearly, but also the little wizards who were chattering in other colleges paused for a few seconds and pricked up their ears curiously.

"I agree with Draco, look at this sentence!" Pansy tapped the newspaper with a small fan beside the gold wire ditch, pretending not to see the peeping eyes around him.

"It is understood that Harry's former close girlfriend, Miss Granger, after knowing who Harry really admires, and another warrior of the Triwizard Tournament - the hero of the last World Cup Victor Crewe I have an ambiguous relationship with Klum, but she still couldn't let go of her first love, and rejected Klum's invitation to take her to Bulgaria during the summer vacation." She thought to herself, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

"We all know that Gryffindor know-it-all is just friends with Potter, don't we?" Her voice was neither soft nor loud, but just enough to be heard.The discussion among the young wizards around them became much quieter, they were thinking suspiciously, without the enthusiasm they had at the beginning.

"A person who can't come to school, a boring report, she is provoking Dumbledore?" Igil said unhurriedly, taking a sip of milk.Although he was a direct victim of the report, he showed little interest in the topic, "Draco, Pansy, if you don't finish your breakfast quickly, you won't be able to make it to the first class."

Because of his reminder, the two little snakes quickly settled their morning.The little wizards became more suspicious of this report. They were all at the scene that day, but none of them saw the female reporter.

Some had shifted their focus to the Gryffindor table, trying to get a clue from the other party involved.

"It's too much! Hermione and Igil are both my friends." Different from Slytherin's performance, the savior of the Lion House seemed very angry, "She writes like this, who will dare to get too close to me in the future!"

His righteous indignation immediately won the support of the little lion, and the more this time, the more it shows their unity: "We will not leave you because of fear of rumors, Harry. Anyone who dares to speak nonsense here, we will Just be rude to him!"

"Thank you...thank you all." Harry resisted the grievance and thanked everyone.In this way, the pretentiousness of the three parties blinded the eyes of the surrounding people.

The impact of the "Daily Prophet" caused a steady stream of owls to pour into Hogwarts Castle. Many people who read the newspaper sent their own ideas. In addition to support and opposition, various strange views emerged.The items sent by these couriers have been strictly checked. The school has stepped up its vigilance in the last Babo tuber pus accident, and all letters that exceeded the standard size and weight were intercepted by the administrator, Mr. Filch.

"Hogwarts does not welcome Rita Skeeter, let her apologize publicly, otherwise I will sue her for illegal trespass and damage to reputation." The behavior of the female reporter who despised the authority of the headmaster of Hogwarts one after another made Dumbledore Lido couldn't tolerate it any longer, and when he had a fire chat with the editor-in-chief of the "Daily Prophet", the old man said firmly, "Please tell her that the Ministry of Magic might be interested in some of her little things, such as beetles? "

Dumbledore's threat caused the female reporter to make a public apology in the newspaper the next day. She euphemistically explained that she was writing a novel about ignorant love among teenagers, but it was mistakenly published as an edited manuscript.Skeeter's heartfelt words won over many women.Although this report is untrue, the three real people in the photo are all outstanding, which arouses some women's imagination.

For a while, many popular books appeared in the magic world, and they all told a story about polyamorous love between beautiful boys without exception, making conservatives call this kind of social atmosphere unacceptable.

The storm caused by the report subsided quickly. When others took the report as an oolong, the person involved knew what was going on.

On the day the report was published, Igil questioned his lover in the dormitory.In the second game, he did see Draco and Harry muttering something when they boarded the boat, and he also saw the Animagus state transformed by the female reporter, who was near them at that time.

"He said that you are his friend, if I treat you badly, he will still have a chance." Under Igil's questioning, Draco sullenly told what happened at that time.But Igil didn't think it was just that, the familiarity with his lover let him know that Draco must have something to hide from him.

Sure enough, Draco later confessed to the plot he was hiding, he was reluctant to say at first, and the wand alternated between his hands, and finally he held it tightly.

"At the bottom of the lake, he kissed your forehead, before I arrived..."

Yigil frowned, that boy hasn't given up yet?No, if it's just the forehead... There was a smile in Igil's eyes suddenly: "After he said that, how did you reply to him?"

"I told him..." Draco's light-colored eyes rolled up, and he leaned closer to Igil, hugging his lover, "There won't be such a day! Because you are mine. You just Do you like me, Igil?"

"Draco, I refuse to answer this question," Igil turned his head, "You have asked me no less than ten times today!"

"Then answer it again, just once, Igil." The boy with platinum hair turned into a koala and entangled him.

"Draco!" Igil's shy and angry scream resounded in the dormitory after a while, "Let go, where are you touching!"

Until now, the young master of the Malfoy family is still working hard with the goal of pushing him down...

"Harry, I don't know when you started to like Igil." In a faculty dormitory in Hogwarts Castle, Sirius looked worried when facing Harry who came, "I should have watched it sooner." Come out, from your previous attitude, but Igil..."

"Do you believe what's written in the newspaper too?" Harry interrupted Sirius, he pursed his lips tightly, his eyes full of sadness, "I thought you heard what I said this morning, now Hogwarts doesn't Several people believed that report to be true."

"But..." Sirius couldn't say the following words because of the influence of the Loyalty Curse.In the principal's office last year, he listened to Ellie Windsor's words from beginning to end, and he naturally knew that the female reporter could turn into a beetle and sniff out some news that was not easy for others to know.

"Would you believe me if I said that Igil is my friend?" Harry looked at Sirius calmly, without looking away.He once thought he liked Igil, but Myrtle's words woke him up.

Saying that to Draco just because he wanted to do something for Igil, and seeing Malfoy's wonderful face contort was also a joy.

No matter what happened in the past, he and Igil are just friends now, otherwise he wouldn't have just kissed his forehead that day underwater.
