[HP] The Elegance of the Night

That day, Igil was in a trance of excitement—he was going to be an older brother.A life connected with his blood is thriving under the careful care of his father, and in a few months, his lovely brother or sister will come to this world waving pink hands.

When the child grows up, he can teach him (her) to walk, teach him (her) to talk, and then he (she) will follow him with small unsteady steps and call him "" elder brother".

The good vision for the future made Igil no longer remember how he returned to Hogwarts. He had a springy smile all day long and his appetite was better than usual.

This year's Easter holiday was still spent under piles of homework assigned by the professors. Although Igil wanted to use this week's time to go back to 12 Grimmauld Place, he gave up the idea because of a letter from his father. .

Regulus had a severe reaction to this pregnancy, and his mood was not very stable.After receiving clear instructions from his father, Igil stayed in school peacefully and passed Easter.

He and Draco both received the same giant Easter egg from their father on the holiday, and it was clear that Tom Slytherin had really embraced Draco's relationship with him.Although chocolate and toffee were never Igil's favorite, he ate a lot during the meal sharing with his lover that day.The sweet taste seems to be spinning from the tip of the tongue, spreading to the heart.

In the last week of May, Bagman called all the brave men to meet at the Quidditch pitch at nine o'clock in the evening, and he would tell them about the third game. At 08:30, Draco put down his half-written thesis and quietly walked out of the library.

Yigil continued to flip through a reading about the giant's rebellion, and the papers on the parchment had far exceeded the sixteen inches that Professor Binns had laid out.Time passed by unknowingly, and when the platinum-haired boy returned to the library, Igil realized that the hands of the clock on the wall had slipped to 09:30.

Draco couldn't wait to tell Igil the content of the game, but resisted because of the need to keep a quiet environment around him.Mrs. Pince reminded them that the library would close in half an hour.Yigil realized that his lover obviously didn't plan to write down the unfinished thesis, so he hurriedly finished his super long thesis.

When he put the borrowed books back in their original place, the boy with platinum blonde hair had already put all the quills and ink bottles into the school bag for him.

"The next project is the labyrinth. The Quidditch pitch has been destroyed beyond recognition by dense low walls," Draco complained sullenly on the way back to the dormitory. "Although Mr. Bagman promised to restore it after the game, but There is still a month until the game, and they are going to close the Quidditch pitch during this time!"

"Anyway, there is no Quidditch match this year." Igil said while paying attention to avoiding the traps on the stairs.He didn't think there was anything excessive about this behavior.

"Sometimes we still go there and ride a broom." Draco mumbled, he didn't join the Quidditch team just for the competition, he loved the sport.

While the lovers were discussing the requisitioned Quidditch field, Harry Potter ran up from downstairs panting.

"I saw Mr. Crouch, in the clearing behind Hagrid's cabin...he's behaving abnormally, and Krum is guarding him..." Harry stopped abruptly, out of breath He stopped in front of them angrily, "I'm going to find Dumbledore now... Igil, you..."

"That Crouch who has been missing for a long time?" Before Harry could catch his breath, Draco excitedly held Igil, and speeded up his descent as if no one else was around.The blue-eyed boy who was completely ignored stood awkwardly on the stairs, looked back and forth a little at a loss, and continued to run towards Dumbledore's principal's office.

"Draco..." We should go to Dean Snape.Igil didn't say this proposal. In Ellie Windsor's vague memory, Crouch appeared in Hogwarts for the last time, facing the killing intent of his own son.

Although I have considered the pros and cons of saving people from the standpoint of Dumbledore, and considered the impact of saving people on the future.But Igil can't replace anyone after all.He didn't know what Dumbledore would do at this time, he only knew that when Draco pulled him out of the castle, getting closer and closer to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, he didn't resist at all.

In the castle, the blue-eyed boy met Snape at the door of the principal's office. After some twists and turns, although Harry saw Dumbledore, he wasted a lot of time.

And here, Igil and Draco have reached the edge of the Forbidden Forest...

Tonight's moon was mostly covered by dark clouds, without moonlight, the road ahead was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly.Hagrid's cabin and the huge carriage parked not far away at Beauxbatons School were dimly lit.

"Krum?" Draco called several times as he approached the open space on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and the only response to him was the rustling of countless leaves coming together as the wind blew through the forest.

"Luminescent flashes!" A tiny light burst out from the tip of Yigil's wand, and through this faint light, both of them saw a human-shaped black figure curled up on the ground.

"Merlin, it's Krum!" Draco rushed forward and turned the person lying on the ground over. Durmstrang's warrior showed his face as he turned over, lying on his back unconsciously. on the ground.Seeing Krum's heaving chest, Draco heaved a sigh of relief, he opened Krum's eyelids and looked, and then he was completely relieved.

"Just fainted?" Igil bent down and asked, the platinum-haired boy nodded, stood up straight and pulled out the wand in his pocket.

"Leave the rest to me." An old voice sounded behind them, and under the fluorescent light at the front of Igil's wand, the long snow-white beard was particularly eye-catching.

"Professor Dumbledore." The two wizards in the Snake Court said at the same time.Dumbledore nodded slightly at them, raised his wand aloft, and a bird the same color as his beard flew into Hagrid's cabin.

Then, he pointed his wand at Krum who was lying on the ground, and said in his mouth, "Resuscitate quickly!"

The spell was very effective, awakening Krum from his coma. "That old lunatic hit me!" He covered his head and shook it.Dumbledore put a hand on his shoulder, telling him not to get up so quickly.Lying down a little longer would be good for his current body.

After Hagrid received the news, he rushed over quickly, followed by Moody who was said to have gotten the news from Snape. He was limping on a stick, actively trying to help.

Dumbledore asked Hagrid to call Karkaroff. While waiting for Karkaroff's arrival, Dumbledore was not as decisive as usual when facing Moody who volunteered to find Mr. Crouch. Give instructions.

"Harry, what happened when you met Crouch?" Dumbledore's stern expression from the moment he came here did not weaken in the slightest.

"Uh, Mr. Crouch's behavior is not normal, half of the time he seems to think his wife and son are still alive," Harry thought for a moment and said, "He still..."

"Okay, go to my office and tell me slowly." Dumbledore interrupted Harry with his hand, as if he had suddenly changed his mind.

"Moody." Dumbledore's tone was tired. He knew that he might be late, and that Crouch had most likely encountered an accident by now.

"I hope to find him as soon as possible. Crouch's experience has been very rough." Dumbledore sighed.

Crouch was the person most likely to be elected as the Minister of Magic, but he missed his chance because his son's identity as a Death Eater was exposed, and his wife passed away because she couldn't bear the blow.

That frail mother made a great decision before she died, how could she never think of it?The son he rescued from Azkaban at the cost of his life would be cruel enough to kill his father.

When Dumbledore sighed, Igil saw Moody's lowered hand tremble undetectably.But that might just be an illusion in the dark.

"I'm going to find him right now." Moody still spoke in that gruff, but extremely self-speaking way.After he left, none of the five people in the open space spoke again.

"The referee of the Triwizard Tournament hit someone! It's a scam, it's a conspiracy!" Karkaroff anxiously followed Hagrid over, and when he learned that his student had been attacked, he pointed at Dumbledore and yelled loudly , "During the whole incident, I smelled deceit and corruption...Dumbledore, I only now understand what kind of person you are!"

"You can't say that about Dumbledore!" cried Hagrid.The sharp gaze in Dumbledore's eyes flashed away, and even the thick glasses couldn't block the sharp light at that moment.

"Hagrid, escort the three Hogwarts students back to the castle." His tone was calm and unquestionable.

Igil did not know what Dumbledore and Karkaroff said afterwards. The headmaster of Durmstrang School was still sitting on the staff bench in the Hogwarts hall the next day, eating his own food. Breakfast, just the kind smile on the face is gone.

"What do you think happened to Mr. Crouch, did he run away by himself or was kidnapped?" Draco asked Igil while eating pudding, he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

Moody failed to get Crouch back in the end. During the lunch break, Minister Fudge questioned all the people present at that time. Draco and Igil, who didn't even see Crouch at the time, also I was asked over and over again what happened last night.

The Ministry of Magic has been involved in a rigorous investigation into this matter. It is said that Percy Weasley has been dismissed from his position as Crouch's private secretary. Some people in the Ministry suspect that the instructions he received before were all forged by himself. It was indeed Crouch's handwriting.

For a week, people from the Ministry of Magic searched for Crouch's whereabouts around Hogwarts. Many students who didn't know were also affected by the haze on the faces of those adult wizards.

On June [-]th, Draco had a low-key birthday at Hogwarts, and while the Slytherins wanted to throw a big birthday party for their champion in the common room, the platinum-haired boy Declined their offer.He prefers to spend this day alone with his lover.

"What do you want for your birthday?" Igil asked as his lover's birthday approached.

"Would you like to send you to me?"

Draco's answer was full of anticipation, but a wish was a wish after all. On his birthday, Igil did give him himself.On top of the cake he had given Draco, next to the candy house surrounded by a chocolate fence, sat a dark-haired doll in green robes.

Draco opened his mouth and swallowed the doll in one gulp, the taste of chocolate, green apple syrup and cream made him smack his lips in aftertaste.

It would be even more delicious if it was the deity, Draco stuck out his tongue and licked off the cream sticking to the corner of his mouth dissatisfied.

"Igil, your taste is sweet." At this time, he still did not forget to tease the other party with words.
