[HP] The Elegance of the Night

The days passed by day by day, and it seemed that there was no difference from before, but the aura between the two boys from the Snake Court quietly changed slightly. Sometimes Draco would lightly touch Igil's forehead, giving He kisses him goodnight, even though his roommates are a bit resistant to the intimacy.

The curriculum of the third grade is not heavy, and Igil sometimes goes to the school library to borrow some extra-curricular reading materials, but the librarian Mrs. Pince found that this former studious boy borrowed some materials when writing a thesis on the history of magic, and went to the library to borrow some materials. The number of runs became less and less, and she sighed slightly for the boy that her previous diligence was no longer there. In fact, Igil found a better place to read books—the Room of Requirement.

Tom Slytherin once drew a map of Hogwarts Castle, marking all the discovered and undiscovered secret passages and secret rooms. This map was authoritatively narrated by Salazar Slytherin. A gift for Igil, I believe that no one is more familiar with Hogwarts than the handsome man with red eyes in the portrait. When Igil first came to the Room of Requirement, he suspected that the entire Hogwarts book had been moved here. Includes treasures from the fabled Ravenclaw Library.

He is not the only one who can use this library. Since Hermione Granger cooked Polyjuice Potion for a whole semester in the Room of Requirement last year, she knows that there is such a magical room. The library was soon found.Igil doesn't mind sharing it.Hermione was a quiet girl at school, and they didn't see each other a few times a year.

Miss Granger always found the book she needed and left, but when Igil entered the Room of Requirement today, she found the girl with the bushy brown hair spreading out a table of papers, finishing them while crying.Just as she wiped away the liquid from her eye sockets with her tear-soaked sleeves again.A white handkerchief embroidered with the family totem was handed to her.

"Oh, thanks." Startled by the sudden appearance, Hermione took the finely crafted handkerchief and wiped away the tears from her face, "I'm sorry I didn't notice you came in, Blake." The girl sobbed She sniffed, and actually wanted to blow her nose, but the high-grade fabric of the handkerchief made her resist the urge. "Thank you, I will return the handkerchief after I wash it."

"It's okay, Miss Granger, you can keep it." Gentleman Igil said.Granger didn't ask why he was crying here, and he wouldn't pry into other people's privacy.Igil went to the bookshelf to pick out a few books that he needed. The process was a bit long. Hermione put down the quill in his hand and watched his every move since he came in. She didn't speak until the boy in the Snake Yard was about to leave. .

"I stayed here doing my homework because I was afraid they would find me." Who they were referring to, needless to say Igil knew, besides the other members of the Gryffindor quartet, Miss Granger's friends at school Very little.She spends almost all her time studying. "Ron said Crookshanks ate his Scabbers, just by a few cat hairs on the floor." Hermione sobbed aggrievedly, her voice a bit harsh, "They're all on his side! They're all on his side! I believe Crookshanks did it."

"Crookshanks?"

"It's my cat," Hermione explained. "Spotters is missing, Ron has a bit of blood on his bed sheet, he thinks it was eaten."

"They shouldn't make ladies cry, Miss Granger." Igil placed the selected stack of books on Hermione's desk, sat gracefully on the armchair beside the desk, his voice had faded Before the voice change period, it was soft and glutinous, with a little more magnetism belonging to a teenager, but what remains unchanged is that it is also naturally bewitching.Every time he heard his voice, it brought peace of mind, which was why Hermione would tell him these things.

"It's natural for cats to eat mice. Didn't Weasley always hate that mouse? He didn't take his pet with him. In fact, his subconscious mind already knew what would happen." Igil's hand touched his own. A cold and slippery little basilisk in your pocket, it's easy to carry a pet with you.He didn't say anything later, I believe this smart girl will soon understand, and it's always human nature to push the fault to others to eliminate the guilt in her heart, and what this girl is doing now is no better than Weasley.

"It's not Crookshanks—" Hermione's voice trailed off, "No one has any proof that it did it, I just don't believe it..." At the end she couldn't be sure what she was insisting on, Hermione suddenly Find the act of crying in the Room of Requirement ridiculous.

"Thank you, Blake, I feel much better." After figuring out what the problem was, the girl's mood improved, and she began to tidy up the papers on the table, planning to return to the Gryffindor common room to finish them——Explanation Why Muggles need electricity, divination of dreams for a week, complex arithmetic and divination number tables, the homework she has to complete includes all required and elective courses.

"You look tired lately," Igil said, and when he saw Hermione's homework, he remembered that Pansy had mentioned that Miss Granger had added 5 points to Gryffindor in the arithmetic and divination class, but at the same time The brunette girl in the divination class has never been absent. "You used a time-turner." Igil said affirmatively.

"How do you know! Well, I asked a stupid question." Hermione laughed awkwardly, because she was curious about the wizarding world, she had read many books, and she knew how profound the history of the magical family that the surname Black meant.

"Miss Granger, although the time-turner can allow you to attend classes in several places at the same time, the time you spend is still overdrawn from you." Igil has a good impression of this studious girl, and outstanding talents will always Exuding their own brilliance, nobles value abilities as much as bloodlines, just like Snape was only a half-blood wizard back then, but he was able to obtain a high status among the Death Eaters.It was dangerous to appear in two places at the same time. According to the schedule, Hermione even appeared three times at the same time, so he had to remind the girl to pay attention to her body. "With all due respect, your current state is not very good." It can even be said to be terrible.

"Actually, I feel it too, so I'm already planning to give up some courses." Hermione was very grateful for Igil's reminder. After a semester of exhausting study, she was also a little bit powerless.Packing up her pile of theses and materials, Hermione accidentally knocked over a stack of books that Igil put on the table. "I'm sorry!" She knelt down to pick up the scattered books, and Igil said it was okay, and quickly picked them up.

"Here, oh, my God." Hermione was frightened by the name of one of the books, and didn't pass it over immediately. Igil took the book out of her hand and said indifferently, "I just read it casually."

He put this "Symptoms of Magical Backlash" on the top of the stack of books, as if it was really just reading for entertainment, but since he practiced Occlumency with Draco that night, he has had There was a sense of disobedience that he didn't know why, and he couldn't calm down. This was something he had never experienced before.

"Miss Granger, you can call me Igil, just like Harry." In the Gryffindor foursome, he valued this girl the most. Since even Harry got his "approval", Why can't there be one more?

"Igil." The girl called out the name with some embarrassment. She always felt that the boy in the snake yard was different. , but afraid of being rejected by him. "Just call me Hermione...Igil." The girl's heart was beating wildly nervously.

"Hermione." Igil smiled. His observations over the years made him appreciate this girl's character. If she was willing, he would draw her into his tent and let her live a better life.Talent shines everywhere, but if possible, he hopes they can stand in his camp. "The next time you encounter something, you can come to me." His gentle smile made the girl nod her head in a trance.

When Igil returned to the dormitory, Draco was wearing a cloak and gesticulating a black turban in front of the mirror, "It looks too similar, and tear the hem of the cloak a little more..." The mirror helped out with bad ideas.

"What are you doing, Draco?" Igil closed the door of the dormitory, watching the platinum boy wearing a black turban and showing off his clothes that had turned into cloth strips, "Now for next year's Are you ready for Halloween, you want to be a dementor?"

"Isn't it very similar, Igil? I also prepared a set for Crabbe and Goyle." Draco picked up the fat black robe on the cabinet and shook it triumphantly, "It's not for the masquerade, I think Harry Waves frightened him during the match, that kid seems to be very sensitive to dementors." In the last Quidditch match, the blue-eyed savior could hardly stand still after seeing the dementors. What about the Firebolt sent by Igil?He can make him lose games as well.

"Draco, take this idea back." Igil rubbed his forehead with a headache after listening to Draco's cheerful words, isn't his roommate usually very shrewd, why would his sanity drop significantly when he meets Harry's problems.

"Igil, you help him!" Draco said aggrievedly, could it be that the three years of their relationship could not be compared to a "life-saving grace" full of moisture?Back then, he was only a little short of catching Igil, and being robbed of the credit by Potter was the one thing he regretted the most.

"I just don't want you to get deducted points, Draco. You beat him in the last game, and if they lose this time, they will probably use your behavior as an excuse for failure." The main thing is Harry Potter has learned the Patronus Charm, and his roommates are not gaining anything from doing so. "Draco, don't you think you put too much energy into that little lion?"

For no reason, Igil remembered the scene he saw when he helped Draco practice Occlumency that night. It turned out that his roommate had known Harry long before coming to Hogwarts. Thinking of the scene that Draco revealed at that time With that expression, Yigil suddenly felt ripples in his heart.

It came again—this strange feeling. He hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed and opened the books he brought back from the Room of Requirement to find out his symptoms. It seemed that he hadn't been normal since that day, and he had been unable to calm down.His lack of attention aroused the dissatisfaction of the platinum boy: "Don't you know why I'm targeting him!" Draco raised his voice in disbelief, and suddenly had the urge to hit the wall with the idea of ​​raising elves. At this time, his roommate How could he hurry up and read the book? Could it be that he was not obvious enough? Could it be that Merlin's darling, the Malfoy family's outstanding looks passed down from generation to generation, are not as attractive as a book?

"What are you reading so engrossed in?" Draco pretended to be curious and pulled the book from Igil's hand, making Igil's attention shift from the book to him. "...No.20 is a sign. Interrupting the spell while casting the spell may cause the heartbeat to speed up. This is a temporary phenomenon caused by the heart being oppressed by magic. It is a slight magic backlash."

"What a mess." Draco turned over the book he snatched, revealing the large golden characters on its black cover - "Signs of Magical Backlash", the platinum boy's expression changed from arrogance to self-blame, "Yi Jill! When did you get backlashed by magic?" The voice of the platinum boy became flustered, the backlash of magic can be big or small, this is no joke.Even though they stayed together every day, he didn't know anything.

"When I was practicing Occlumency with you that day—" Igil said softly, with some doubts, "I don't know if I was backlashed, but I just couldn't calm down." He looked at his roommate Bai turned green and comforted softly, "Don't worry about me, it's actually not serious, otherwise I'll go to the medical wing to see Madam Pomfrey."

"...You...you!" Draco pointed at Igil, his face turned from white to blue, from green to black, he threw himself on Igil angrily, pinched him by the neck and pushed him down on the bed.The outstanding face is getting lower and lower, getting closer and closer to Igil.

"I don't want a goodnight kiss, Draco." Igil blinked and said in a low voice, as if he didn't understand why his roommate made such an untimely move, weren't they just discussing the issue of magic backlash. "I'm not a kid anymore, Draco, and I don't want to sleep yet."

"I'll bite you to death!" The platinum boy Bai Sensen's teeth fell heavily on the black-haired boy's collarbone, leaving a dark red mark viciously.
