[HP] The Elegance of the Night

Igil hadn't had any contact with Harry Potter since that night.Less than a week before the final exam, all the young wizards at Hogwarts are devoting their energies to intense revision. Even Crabbe and Goyle were forced by Draco to memorize the evil Merrick and the weirdo Yuri in the history of magic. Grams, they always get it mixed up.

The little snake named Nagini is very familiar with Hogwarts, it can go to the kitchen to find food by itself, which saves Igil a lot of trouble.

Nagini said that it got lost while looking for its master and somehow ended up in the Forbidden Forest, and it proudly told Igil that his master was the head of the Hogwarts Student Union decades ago.

How long have you been wandering the Forbidden Forest?Igil couldn't help asking, at first he thought Nagini was just a pet that a freshman accidentally lost.

Nagini tilted her little head and thought for a long time, then looked innocently at the sky.This little snake with no sense of direction also has no sense of time.

"Have you always been this small?" Igil teased Nagini on the palm of his hand, and the cool and slippery body of the little snake twisted comfortably.

[Hiss...Of course not, Nagini is a magical creature, and she might scare people when she gets bigger] She thought of that little wizard with a round face, how timid she was.She scares him just by saying hello.This little wizard named Igil looked even more delicious, and she couldn't resist licking him with difficulty.

If even he was scared, no one would take her to find the master.

"I want to see your real body. I'm not that timid." Igil dispelled its scruples and put it on the ground.

He was alone in the dormitory now, and Draco went to urge Crabbe and Goyle, they were lazy when no one was watching, and if they didn't pass this exam, they would be kicked out of Hogwarts.

Cheering, Nagini swelled, she was at least twelve feet long, her undulating body wrapped around Igil, and she rested her head affectionately on his shoulder.

[Hiss... will you take me to London?] Nagini asked worriedly, it always carefully reminded repeatedly that after seeing its poor sense of direction, Igil deeply understood it.

A week passed in a blink of an eye, and the much-despised exam finally came.

The little wizards were answering questions in the stuffy big classroom, and the teacher gave them new quills specially used for exams, and all of them were chanted to prevent cheating.

After the written test was the practical operation. Professor Flitwick asked them to go into the classroom one by one to see if they could make a pineapple tap dance across a desk. The clip, in exchange for Professor Flitwick's warm applause, it seems that the high score will not escape.

Professor McGonagall watched as they turned a mouse into a snuffbox - the more elegant the box, the higher the points, and deducted points if the mouse's whiskers were still on the box.The Slytherins showed their talents, and none of them left a beard on the box. They turned it into a piece of exquisite handicraft, which is already a matter of personal taste.

During the Potions exam, Dean Snape stood behind and watched their cauldron closely. Fortunately, they all remembered the mixing procedure of the Forgotten Potion.He picked out a few bottles with good colors and bottled them for preservation, including those for Igil and Draco.

The last exam was History of Magic. The questions were very simple, and everyone handed in the paper within an hour.

After finishing all the subjects, the little wizards cheered, as long as they play lightly for a whole week, they can enjoy a long vacation when the test results are announced.

On the third day after the exam, Igil took Draco to play wizard chess with him, Peeves slipped into the Slytherin common room to make trouble, and was caught by the bloody Baron.

"Sir - aren't you on the fourth floor?" Peeves screamed in terror, "Oh, someone pretended to be you and tricked me, they're invisible."

"It's Harry Potter." Hearing what Peeves said, Igil stopped the game.

Those little lions have been trying to distract the professor who was in charge of patrolling the floors recently. Potter didn't listen to his persuasion in the Forbidden Forest last time.

"I made him trust Dumbledore."

"Dumbledore isn't at Hogwarts." The bloody Barrow floated across from Igil, "He won't be back until tomorrow."

Igil raised his eyebrows and said nothing. Dumbledore will take care of everything. As a Slytherin, he just needs to be a good student.With such a headmaster around, it would be unwise to involve yourself in right and wrong, because for whatever purpose, it was Slytherin who was suspected first.

He moved the knight forward, right up to Draco's queen, and the game would be over soon, without any suspense.

"Why do you always like to play like this, every time you have to stab my queen to death before eating the king." Draco was in a hurry, he really shouldn't play chess with Igil, this kid is too ruthless.

"Who told you not to resist every time."

That night, Harry Potter entered the hospital wing. What happened between him and Professor Quirrell in the dungeon was a complete secret, and the secret always spread like wildfire, so naturally all the teachers and students in the school knew it all. up.

How brave Harry Potter defeated Professor Quirrell who wanted to steal the Sorcerer's Stone.

Gifts from his friends and admirers flooded the medical wing.

"Cowardly Quirrell." Igil smiled when he heard the news. In his opinion, Harry Potter was asking for trouble. Professor Dumbledore rushed back to Hogwarts that day—maybe it was just Pretending to go out, attracted Quirrell to start.

Harry Potter's absence caused Gryffin to lose the Quidditch match due to lack of a Seeker, and Ravenclaw won without a fight.

The college scores came out, and Slytherin scored the first. The hall was decorated with green and silver representing Slytherin. On the wall behind the guest seat, a huge banner with a Slytherin snake was hung to celebrate Leitlin has won the Academy Cup seven years in a row.

On the night of the year-end banquet, Harry Potter appeared, his complexion was bad and his body was very weak.Almost as soon as he appeared, there was a sudden silence in the auditorium, and then suddenly everyone started talking loudly again.

"Another year has passed!" Dumbledore said happily, and he rewarded Gryffindor with a lot of points for Quirrell's affairs.

It's a pity that Slytherin is still ahead. Igil and Draco competed with each other in class, and the accumulated scores reached an astonishing amount.

"It's like this..." Miss Windsor of Gryffindor was surprised, she took out the black book she kept close to her, flipped to the page where Gryffindor won the Academy Cup, and tore it off.

It was clearly based on the plot before...

Forget it, she comforted herself, since the brain-dead master soul has been defeated, you don't need to care too much about small details like the academy cup, you can't make life perfect.

Harry Potter ate his dinner quietly, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.Slytherin winning the House Cup was unpleasant to most, so he didn't stand out.

This time, he didn't get the Philosopher's Stone. Dumbledore told him when he was in the hospital wing that only those who hope to find the Philosopher's Stone—find it, but don't use it—can get it. See them in the mirror scooping up gold to make a fortune, or drinking the elixir of life to prolong life.

He wanted it, but not for himself, the Philosopher's Stone had indeed fallen into his pocket.He reached into his pocket and held down the stone, but he didn't feel any magical fluctuations.

The Philosopher's Stone is fake!

This is a well-planned trial specially designed to hone the savior.Dumbledore wanted to train him to make him worthy of his name, but that was not what he needed.

That night, he found that Quirrell could not touch him, so he grabbed Quirrell's arm and refused to let go.Quirrell screamed, trying desperately to shake him off.

His headache was getting stronger and stronger, his eyes were black, Quirrell screamed, and Voldemort on his head roared viciously: "Kill him! Kill him!" At this time he heard another voice shouting: "Harry ! Harry!" it was Tom calling him.

He fell into a coma and lay in the hospital wing for three days.Fortunately, his efforts were not in vain.

Tom contacted him again, although it was only a short sentence.

Tom said:

"Harry, I think - I know who I am now."

Finally came the day when the test results were announced, and Igil Black won the first place in the whole grade.

No.2 is actually Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy is in the third place, and No.4 is Hermione Granger.This ranking fell below the glasses of many people.

Igil didn't react when he saw his ranking, Harry just smiled at everyone when he knew it, Draco was very angry, why did that kid Potter rank ahead of him, Miss Granger was very happy, as a one For those who hadn't touched magic a year ago, she was already very satisfied, but the gap with the top three still proved her own shortcomings, and she would make up for it with diligence.

As if all of a sudden, their wardrobes were empty, their suitcases were packed, and notices were sent to each student warning them not to use magic during the break.

The Slytherins sneered at this. The Ministry of Magic relies on magic fluctuations and wands to detect magic. The former is only aimed at the Muggle world, and the magic fluctuations around every wizard can be monitored. Inseparable from magic, the Ministry of Magic can only be distinguished by wands. Every minor wizard's wand is registered and wrapped with traces. As long as you don't use it, nothing will happen. Slytherins have long been familiar with it. Take advantage of the loopholes and use wandless magic or use a different wand.

The fleet of little wizards crossed the lake under the leadership of Hagrid, and now they have boarded the Hogwarts Express, chatting and laughing all the way, watching the scenery fly by outside the window.

Nagini popped out of Igil's pocket, begging for food, and Igil fed him some pies.

After taking off the wizard robes on his body and changing his clothes, the train stopped at platform nine and three quarters of King's Cross Station.

It took a long time for them all to get out of the platform, a wizened old guard standing guard at the ticket gate, allowing only two or three people through at a time, so that they didn't burst out of the solid walls in a whole bunch at once, causing a lot of trouble. Attention Muggles.

"Goodbye, Igil!"

"Goodbye, Draco!"

The Slytherins bid farewell to each other.

"Baby Igil." It was Regulus' voice. He lowered the brim of his hat and wore a pair of sunglasses.Uncle Tom didn't come, and they used the portkey to go home.

Regulus did not move to 12 Grimmauld Place. He thought the air there was too stale. Regulus would go there every week to inspect it. He wanted to bring Kreacher here, but he didn't want to leave. The old house, the old elf has feelings for Black's ancestral house.Mrs. Black's portrait also needs care.

Igil felt that Dad didn't go back to Black's mansion because he couldn't bear Uncle Tom.

Uncle Tom has been taking care of Dad since he went to Hogwarts.It's hard to imagine how Dad can live alone.He was used to Uncle Tom coming to eat every week.

terrible habit...

"Baby Igil! Happy holidays." No, Uncle Tom appeared at their door at dinner time on time, and Regulus would reluctantly answer the door every time.

Nagini poked his head out of his pocket, but was pushed back by Igil.

[Hiss...let me come out] Igil threw a "silence" to silence it.

"Uncle Tom!" Igil yelled, the red-eyed man couldn't help but touch the top of his head with his obedient appearance.

"Did Igil miss me?" Uncle Tom asked happily.

Regulus slapped his hands away, and took Igil into his arms.Yigil didn't like others touching his hair, but this man always had a bad memory.

"Yes, but I miss Dad more." Igil's words made Regulus very happy.

Nagini squirmed restlessly in Igil's pocket, trying to poke his head out.Igil threw a binding spell to make it completely peaceful.

"What's in your pocket? I saw it move." The red-eyed man asked casually. He seemed to have heard Nagini's voice. The little girl had been kept by his stand.

Ever since the soul piece in the ring was defeated by the Potter boy, the little girl has disappeared.He tried to look for it, but found nothing.

"No—" Igil said, he had completely restrained Nagini, making him unable to play tricks.

Igil was going to throw it away when Uncle Tom was gone, no matter how bad her sense of direction was.Tell it not to move around, so disobedient let it fend for itself.

Nagini was quiet in Igil's pocket for a while before something happened. Igil felt his pocket sink first.He saw his pockets swell rapidly, and Nagini transformed!

Igil threw Nagini before the pocket burst.In an instant it was as thick as his arm.

"Ah - Nagini" Regulus screamed.

Igil thought that Uncle Tom would be terrified, but saw that he hugged his father tightly in his arms, no... it should be Regulus who threw himself into his arms.

"Don't be afraid—" said Uncle Tom comfortingly.

Merlin!What's the situation... Igil's mind went blank.

Nagini's body, at least twelve feet long, wrapped itself around Uncle Tom, resting his head affectionately on the red-eyed man's shoulder.

[Hiss... Regulus] Nagini stretched out his wet tongue and licked Regulus' nose.The spell on her body was invalidated with the transformation.

Regulus jumped out of Tom's arms and took several steps back. "Igil! Why is Nagini here!"

"Dad, how do you know it?"

[Hiss... my great master Tom Slytherin, I finally found you] "Master? Uncle Tom! Slytherin?"

"Regulus, we can't hide the matter now."

"Shut up! Don't say..."

"Igil, I am actually your father!"

"..."

Merlin's socks!What exactly is going on!
