[HP] The Elegance of the Night

On the second day after returning to the castle from Hogsmeade, the school holiday began, and the ground was covered with several feet of snow. The Hogwarts Express arrived at Station Nine and Three-quarters before dark, and the wizard and The witches were looking for their children in the crowd. The platform was bustling with activity. The little wizards bid farewell to their friends. Except for the children who stayed in school, they would spend the entire Christmas holiday with their families.

"Igil, don't forget our agreement." Just as the platinum boy repeatedly reminded Igil that he must visit Malfoy Manor during the Christmas holiday, a black car stopped beside them.

"Igil, welcome home kids." The handsome black-haired man smiled at them through the half-open car window. His sunglasses covered most of his face and his warm dark gray eyes. With the taste of happiness, it seems that when his son was not at home, he spent a happy two-person world with a certain red-eyed man who stayed at their house.

"Dad, I miss you." Igil said goodbye to Draco and got into the car, which was driven by Tom Slytherin.This car must have been modified. The interior is much more spacious than it looks, and there is a row of eye-catching buttons on the car, each with a small line of different addresses marked under it.The handsome man with red eyes drove the car very fast.Yigil saw him pass directly through a tall, burly, bearded man who almost didn't even have a neck, but the other party was indifferent, but the blue-eyed boy next to the fat man glanced at them.

"That's Harry Potter, why is he back?" Igil saw the blue-eyed boy and the fat man getting into a somewhat old car, and that was probably his Muggle relatives. It is said that their family is very repulsive to wizards , so every Christmas the Savior always spends at Hogwarts.

"This Christmas, I invited Harry to our home," Tom Slytherin glanced at Regulus when he said this, and saw that he didn't refute, and smiled brightly, "Igil , I want to re-introduce Harry to you, the confrontation between the colleges seems to have created a gap between you."

"Do you have to invite him, Father?" Igil put away his smile. Seeing Harry Potter at school already made him feel uncomfortable. Inviting this boy who was famous for defeating Voldemort to his home made him feel even more uncomfortable. strangeness.Besides, he had run into Harry Potter at the Three Broomsticks yesterday, and the boy's face had turned pale over Uncle Sirius.Why is my father confident that he can control Harry Potter?Igil couldn't see through that boy, so there was always a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"Igil, if you try to understand Harry, you will find that he is a very good wizard." The red-eyed man made no secret of his appreciation for Harry.Born with powerful magic power, the identity of the savior and complete trust in him.If he hadn't absorbed the soul piece in the scar, he wouldn't have obtained all of this so easily. Dumbledore made up his mind and the soul piece took the lead, and everything in the soul piece now became his.

The value of Harry Potter is immeasurable. In the future, he will need the influence of this boy to return to the wizarding world as a Slytherin. After the Savior defeats "Voldemort", he will appear in the public as Harry's secret teacher for many years In front of him, the higher Dumbledore praised the savior now, the better it would be for him in the future.Of course, he didn't just use Harry, that boy was very appetizing to him, and his new organization needed such a talent, strong and loyal, so he would train Harry Potter well.

"He sees me as an opponent, father. I can feel it, especially last year..." Igil looked at the fast-moving scenery outside the car window, and remembered the duel club held by Lockhart last year. He admired Harry's tenacity, but I don't like the feeling of being missed by this kind of person, like a thorn in the back. "I'm curious about what my father taught him during the summer vacation? He didn't show any hostility towards me this semester, but his eyes still made me feel uncomfortable as before, although there was no malice."

"I just taught him some dark arts and aristocratic etiquette," Tom Slytherin said casually as he drove the car, "Oh, and I also taught him the magic world—(common sense)" The red-eyed man's speed suddenly slowed down Come down, "Igil, is he starting to get close to you?" Tom Slytherin's tone made the boy puzzled.

"No, it's just that I'm even more at odds with my roommate." Igil sighed.

"The Malfoy family has Veela blood, and Lucius had many enemies when he was a student." Tom Slytherin shook his head funny. This is also a way to attract the other party's attention, but it would be too much to tell Igil about it now early?His precious son was frowning suspiciously at this moment, as if he was thinking about why the Veela blood would attract the hatred of others.

"But, I think Draco is very good." Igil held back this sentence for a long time.

"..." Tom Slytherin suddenly had the urge to hate iron for steel.

Within a few minutes of leaving King's Cross Station, the Dark Lord's family of three encountered a common traffic jam in London. The red-eyed man pressed the only green button inside the row of red on the car, and Igil felt the car jolt violently. The scenery outside the window Once it was dark, the car had stopped at the gate of 12 Grimmauld Place, London when it was lighted up again.

"Igil, how does this magic car feel? I plan to use it to take your dad for a ride, he said I don't understand romance." Tom Slytherin opened the car door for them and naturally hugged Regulus , the latter gave him a sideways glance and broke free from the arms around his waist, and took the lead in striding into the house of the Black family.

"He's always been so shy." Tom Slytherin narrowed his burgundy eyes slightly.

On Christmas Eve, the Blakes were hung with thick friezes of holly and mistletoe, the Christmas tree was sparkling with gold stars and trinkets of all kinds, and all the family portraits had new frames, old Mrs. Blake He and the old principal of the Black family laughed and asked Igil if he had a girlfriend in the portraits. The red-eyed man avoided them because the two portraits kept asking him when he planned to marry into the Black family. Not afraid of Avada at all.

When the three of Igil's family enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, Draco was happily eating fiery red wine marmalade pudding. Harry Potter directed Cousin Daly to push a plate of turkey sandwiches in front of him, and Snape With a dark face, she declined the Christmas cake offered by Dumbledore. Ellie swallowed a piece of salmon that she usually hated most, and a red light flashed in her eyes.

It was a happy Christmas Eve, only Lupine hid in the Screaming Shack and silently turned into a werewolf, and no one had time to think of poor Sirius, a huge black dog wandering the dark streets all night, lonely wandering...

When Igil woke up on Christmas morning, he saw a pile of presents. He couldn't wait to unwrap the beautiful wrapping paper on the presents. What the young master of the Malfoy family gave him this year was an old handwritten notebook on alchemy. There were still spots of dried and blackened blood on the yellow parchment.As soon as Yigil saw the precious content inside, he couldn't put it down.

In addition to the gifts from friends in previous years, the number of gifts has increased this year. Professor Snape gave him a bottle of Felicia, Harry Potter gave him a box of milk chocolate, and the strangest thing is that Ellie Although Windsor had received gifts from her in the past two years, they were all just a can of royal black tea.This year, she actually sent a copy of "The Lost Defense Against the Dark Arts". Although he has seen all the spells in it, it is amazing that a sorcerer wizard can get something that a pure-blooded family might not have. up.

This year Igil also received an unsigned Christmas gift, which contained a movable constellation model glass ball that he saw in Diagon Alley before school started but did not buy. There was only one word on the greeting card of the gift——Sorry.

Sirius Black!Igil gave Regulus the Christmas card and came up with the right answer. He told his father what he heard about Sirius in the tavern. Regulus just shook his head slightly, although he He no longer had expectations for this elder brother who had been expelled from the family, but still believed that Sirius was innocent.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Harry Potter visited the Black family's mansion on time. The blue-eyed boy was very polite. The portraits in the house didn't know whether they were warned in advance or really liked Harry's mannerisms. The old Mrs. Black was very tolerant of the savior who defeated Voldemort, and she didn't yell at the members of the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic who intended to embezzle the Black family's property.

"Hello, Blake. You can call me Harry." The blue-eyed boy politely introduced himself to Igil.

"You can call me Igil...Harry." Igil said politely, which was what his father meant. Since Harry was on their side, he really couldn't be too unfamiliar with him.

"Harry, what are your plans for Sirius?" Tom Slytherin took the two boys to the living room on the second floor. As soon as they sat on the sofa, the house elf brought hot drinks and exquisite snacks, Harry understood why Tom asked such a question. Since Igil was here, the red-eyed man must have heard about what happened at the Three Broomsticks that day.

"Does Tom still think he is innocent?" Harry's words made Igil raise his eyebrows. This calm tone without any negative emotions was different from what he had imagined. He still remembered that the boy's face was terribly pale that day, But bit his lip stubbornly.

"Do you believe him, Tom?" Harry looked at the red-eyed man seriously, as if trying to figure out his thoughts.

"Yes, Harry, because Regulus believed him." Referring to his lover, Tom Slytherin had warmth in his eyes, "If Sirius really betrayed your parents, I wouldn't Take sides with him because I hate betrayal."

"I'll ask Sirius Black about the secret-keeper in person," Harry could understand the red-eyed man's meaning, "I trust you, Tom, so I'm willing to give him a chance." This is also for himself Opportunity.

The blue-eyed boy stroked the wand in his hand. Before, he could only use non-lethal spells such as the Disarming Curse, but now he could easily end a person's life.Having experienced too many things that should not be experienced at this age, the boy's body has undergone an amazing transformation.

"Tom, you said that impulsiveness will only make people lose their minds and make them lose more things. I always remember this sentence." The corner of Harry's mouth curled up in a small warm arc.Igil looked at the blue-eyed boy suspiciously, thinking.

Maybe it's just like what his father said, the confrontation between the colleges created a estrangement between them, he didn't know Harry at all, but it was only because the boy was hiding too deeply, after today's contact, Igil felt the uneasiness in his heart , seems to be slowly decreasing...

Snape would receive a small but substantial Christmas gift every year. The packing box for the Malfoy family took up half of the room, and inside were exquisite robes of various black series. They had also sent other colors before, but seeing After ten years of Snape's black robe tumbling, they realized.If the little wizards don't devote all their energy to resisting Professor Snape's magic pressure, they will find that all kinds of black robes are very charming on their potions professors, and each one is embroidered with different patterns under the reflection of light. The dark lines are mysterious and full of temptation.

The medicine shop owner in Knockturn Alley filled a quarter of the room with potion materials sent this year. This businessman who has been in business with Snape for ten years is a very hearty man.Every Christmas, he would send a large amount of materials for Snape to squander. This was also regarded as a reward for helping him refine precious potions and long-term orders for medicinal materials. These medicinal materials were used by Snape, an outstanding potion master, for research and refining Most of the new potions made are also sold to this shop, so their cooperation is always very pleasant.

The remaining gifts and the bed took up a quarter of the room, and all the gifts from Hogwarts teachers and students were here.Snape picked out Dumbledore's gift and threw it out the door. Mrs. Norris was already waiting here with her head up.

"Eat less, I won't boil you painkillers." Snape squatted down and stroked Mrs. Norris' forehead. The dark gray cat sniffed the residue on his fingertips with its pink nose. The smell of medicine, Meow's continued to eat Dumbledore's gift - Fudge Fly (produced by Honeydukes Candy Shop)

Snape went back to the room and continued unwrapping the presents. Lockhart gave him a dozen white cotton underpants, and a door key was attached to the perfumed greeting card. The Christmas card was written by Lockhart into a hot love letter, with took a half-naked bath towel photo.The alluring blond is posing in the photo, with six sparkling white teeth.A few traces of the Whomping Willow's whip still left a faint red mark, and Lockhart traced its direction vaguely with his fingers, as if it was left on purpose.The scars of this degree can obviously be removed with a potion that is not difficult to make, such as Baixian. Snape twitched the corner of his mouth and pressed the photo and greeting card into the bottom of the drawer, picked out a bottle of Baixian, packed it and sent it.

After unwrapping all the presents, Snape sighed melancholy. Ellie Windsor, the girl closest to Lily's appearance, really didn't give anything this year.But Snape was not sad, he was old enough to be her father, this was the best result, they would have no future.

What Snape lamented was that no matter how beautiful the oath is, it will be worn out by the years. This is a fate that even Merlin cannot resist. Lily once said that he was her best friend, and Ellie once said that she would send the same oath every year. Gifts to him, and eventually they all forgot what they said in the first place, and he was used to this kind of thing.

On Christmas Eve, Ellie prepared a full year's worth of whitening skin care products and special oil-removing shampoo as in previous years. She hummed a song and tied a beautiful bow on the gift, and wrote on the greeting card to dear Xi f.

"Complete!" Ellie snapped her fingers cheerfully, now all she needs to do is find a strong owl.Ellie caught a huge owl from the cage in the small garden, and tied a heavyweight gift to its leg.

"Professor, please accept my full love..." Watching the owl unsteadily fly into the sky, the girl's face was filled with a happy smile.

"Ellie Windsor, you actually gave a gift to a traitor!" The smile on the red-haired girl's face suddenly disappeared. She raised her wand high and shot a spell quickly, and the owl's dying cry immediately sounded in the sky.

A few drops of blood splashed on Ellie's face, and the red light in the girl's eyes disappeared.She dazedly wiped off the hot liquid on her face, and stared blankly at the redness in her hands.Within a minute, a white owl dropped a letter on her head like a whirlwind, and then flew away quickly.

Miss Windsor:

We have received reports that at [-]:[-] tonight you cast a living spell on your residence - torn apart.

You know, underage wizards are not allowed to use magic outside of school...

Before reading the letter from the Ministry of Magic Prohibiting the Misuse of Magic, Ellie understood what happened. She fell to the ground and trembled violently.

"Why do you want to do this!...I hate you, Tom Riddle, I hate you!" After the black leather notebook absorbed the hatred, the dark light prevailed, and the red-haired girl suddenly let out a burst of smug laughter. Before the person found out, he returned to his residence silently.

"That's how a betrayal should be. Merry Christmas, girl." Ellie smirked at the red-haired girl in the mirror, her beautiful green eyes cast a faint red.
