[HP] The Elegance of the Night

After that day, Draco settled down a lot. Although he still went to find trouble with Saint Potter, the purpose has become a kind of adjustment to the boring life.

A week or so later, when the owls flocked into the Great Dining Room as usual, everyone's attention was drawn to the slender package carried by six long-eared owls.

"Oh, that shape." Draco said excitedly to Igil with a look on his face. "I'm going to check it out, it's going to be fun."

Igil sat without saying a word, since he could send it blatantly, he must have something.He didn't want to discourage his friend's enthusiasm.On the second day of the duel, Draco was already disappointed. Harry Potter was luckier than they thought, and he was not caught. They had just left before Mr. Filch arrived.

Sure enough, Draco came back dejected after a while.Potter told him he owed the broomstick to him.

"It's Nimbus 2000, and even my father didn't buy it for me." Draco was extremely wronged, "I'm going to write to tell my father whether there is a school rule that first-year students are not eligible to participate in the college's Quidditch team."

Igil comforted him with a funny face to dispel this naive idea.

Draco really loves to play Quidditch. Once Igil saw him say he was going to observe the stars, but he used a telescope to observe the Quidditch practice field, looking unconvinced.

Potter is now the youngest Seeker on the Gryffindor team and trains there three nights a week.

Igil was used to doing homework in the library, and Draco had also developed this habit now.Granger and Windsor of Gryffindor always run this way.

Yigil suddenly noticed that there were more people around him.Needless to say, Malfoy's two attendants, Pansy and Blaise always follow him wherever he goes, and the stout girl Burst, Pansy likes to take her everywhere, which can better set off her Beautiful, Pansy is now the little leader of the Slytherin girls.

Recently, the lion cub in Windsor especially likes to look at him, and sometimes smiles at him inexplicably.If it wasn't for her friendly smile, someone would have hurt her a bit without Igil doing it, but that alone made Draco very unhappy.

Ellie Windsor was indeed a pretty girl. She had looked at Draco, Harry, and many other boys with fascination, but she looked at Igil with a different look from them.

Draco thought that he would be more popular, so he always asked Igil sourly, did that Windsor like him, or asked him if he liked that Windsor, and Igil ignored such boring questions.

Time flies, and they have been in Hogwarts for two months in a blink of an eye. On the eve of Halloween, when they woke up in the morning, they could smell a sweet and tempting smell of roasted pumpkins in the corridor.

In the afternoon, they finished their papers in the library as usual, and Windsor came again.Today, the girl with straight long red hair looked very excited, and Granger was missing beside her.

Uncharacteristically, she approached the table full of little snakes.In the past, she wanted to do this in the library Windsor, but seeing such a huge lineup beside him would be daunting. I don't know if it was because of Halloween, which made her bolder.

"Go away, you are not welcome here." Pansy scolded Igil unceremoniously when she saw that Igil put down the quill because of the noise of the jingling decorations that Ellie Windsor specially wore on her body for Halloween.

"Pansy Parkinson, did I hear you right? Are you talking to me?" Allie Windsor raised her head arrogantly with disdain on her face. Isn't she Pansy Parkinson Igil's little follower? What. "Please be polite to me, I'm here to find Igil."

"You are too rude, how can you just call Lord Black by his name." Pansy unfolded her small lace fan bordered with gold thread and smiled coquettishly, covering her nose.

Windsor was offended by her dismissive behavior.She squinted her eyes and endured it, passed Pan Xi to Igil's side, and then raised her unique, clear and proud voice.

"Igil, I want to talk to you, can you go out with me?" the girl asked expectantly. "I don't think I have allowed you to call me Igil, Ellie Windsor." Igil Black stood up Gather the half-written parchment on the table.

He nodded apologetically to Mrs. Pince, because Mrs. Pince had glared at them because of their volume.He walked out of the library unhurriedly, and Windsor was already waiting outside. During the whole process, Igil did not even glance at this noble girl from the Muggle world.

"What do you want to tell me?" The girl was silent when she got outside.Igil had no choice but to ask by himself.

"Igil Black, I've been observing you for a long time, and there's something I've always wanted to tell you, but I never mustered up the courage until now." The girl lowered her head, wiggling her fingers on the robe, and Igil raised her eyebrows. Could it be that Draco really hit it off, is this girl going to confess to him?

The girl raised her head, as if she had been deliberating for a long time before finally making this decision. There was expectation in her eyes, but also some anxiety. "Do you know JK Rowling?" she asked.

"..." Igil was silent, he thought she was here to confess, but in fact he had already figured out how to refuse without hurting her.

"Don't you know? Then you are not from our era... I mean, you are not from here, are you?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Igil smiled, with indifference in his eyes. "Ellie Windsor, if you've been paying attention to me for so long just to say something strange, then I really wonder why the Sorting Hat didn't sort you into Hufflepuff."

"Igil, I'm not an idiot!" the girl said angrily, "The Sorting Hat wanted to sort me into Slytherin from the beginning!"

"But you chose Gryffindor." Igil said, if she entered Slytherin, maybe he would try to accept her. Since Slytherin has Crabbe and Goyle, she is not bad, But her behavior at the sorting ceremony insulted them.

"Igil, we both have noble births, except for the difference in college, you shouldn't say that about me, I thought we were friends." Ellie Windsor felt aggrieved, is this what he really thinks?Didn't they get along very well before?Although they didn't sit at the same table, he would respond politely when she greeted her. She thought they could be friends.It turns out that he is not a time traveler, only she is special.

"Please call me Blake, Ellie Windsor, did my overly gentle attitude to you give you the illusion, don't call me so intimately, you mudblood."

"Mudblood! How dare you say that about me, when Merlin and King Arthur..."

"So do you think we will be friends too? Just because you are the royal family of the Muggle world?" Igil smiled. This girl is always confused about the situation, and he wants her to recognize the truth of the matter as soon as possible.

A little lion full of aristocratic temperament has already made her out of place with Gryffindor, and now she has to walk between the two houses.

"Ellie Windsor, you have to figure it out, this is the wizarding world, you in Gryffindor are different from us. You always look at people with a hint of contempt, I don't know where your sense of superiority comes from, I don't see that you are better than others."

On the contrary, as her friend, this Granger with such a big die is very good, and her life in Gryffindor is not happy. I don’t know how the Sorting Hat sorted her into Gryffindor. Closer to Ravenclaw.In the territory of the little lion, her excellence is not only not appreciated, but also faintly rejected.

"Where's the Granger you usually hang out with, Allie Windsor?" Igil asked casually. "It's not good to leave your friends behind."

"She...she..." Ellie suddenly stopped talking, it seemed that Igil's words had hit her hard enough.

Igil sighed inwardly, turned around, and brushed past her gracefully.

He walked into the library, packed the things on the table, and registered the books he wanted to borrow with Mrs. Pince.

It's a pity that he looked at the library where there is still plenty of sunlight. He doesn't like the cold basement, but now he is in no mood to continue his thesis.

Draco also packed his things and came out with him, followed by a string of Slytherin snakes, they were noble, proud, and glowed wherever they went.

"Slytherin doesn't need a mudblood friend, Ellie Windsor." Ellie seemed to hear the words blowing gently in the wind, but she didn't seem to.

"friend……"

Tears flowed from the girl's eyes, and all the classmates in the corridor were watching her secretly. Ellie Windsor felt a burst of humiliation welling up in her heart, and covered her face and hid in the women's room to cry bitterly.

I am different from you. I have known since I came to this world 6 years ago that I am different.She was very sad, and the tears couldn't stop flowing.

Igil Black is not a time traveler, has the plot that I have always been proud of changed?If the plot didn't go on like that, would my life be in danger?

Facing the confusing future and the unknown and uncertain fate, the great fear and fear in her heart collapsed Ellie's sense of superiority that had always existed in her heart...

Mommy... I'm so scared... Alone in a storybook... Just me...

The girl huddled into a ball and trembled fragilely.

"Igil, is it okay to say that about her?" Draco walked side by side with Igil, he knew that Igil was not someone who would say such things, why did he say that about Windsor today?

"...I just want her to know what it's like to be excluded. We were too kind before." If she could understand, she would know that someone needed her very much now.Igil thought a little sadly.

In fact, on the way to the library he'd heard someone say that Hermione Granger was crying in the ladies' room.The girl was excluded because she was too good, how similar to Ellie Windsor's situation.

He thought that the girl would go to comfort her friend who had the same fate as her, but who knew she ran to the library in a good mood.What did she think of as a friend?

Friends don't just talk about it...
