[HP] The Elegance of the Night

"If Sirius asked for a room that only he can enter, it would be almost impossible to find him in the Room of Requirement." After listening to Harry's words, Igil thought for a while, since the other party had already tried Having entered the Room of Requirement countless times, he didn't need to waste time on guessing riddles, "Harry, what you need now is to wait, Sirius can't stay in it all the time."

"Aren't you going to keep looking with me, Igil?" Harry noticed that the boy in the Snake Court said "you" instead of "we", which disappointed him a bit. The other three people in the human group acted together, but they couldn't be honest with each other because of Tom's reason. For example, in the first year of Hogwarts, if the group of little lions knew that his real purpose was to take the Philosopher's Stone for themselves , I won’t help him anymore, Igil is different from those friends, Igil knows his secret, and now it is their common secret, why does he have to fight alone like before?

"I'm sorry, Harry," Igil said earnestly, looking into the other's eyes, "I have to go back. If I don't return to the dormitory before the night ban, Professor Snape will come over soon, and I hope Find Sirius as soon as possible, and learn the truth from him, but I don't want to make things more complicated." Although Harry's request was rejected, Igil's bright black eyes showed no indifference and perfunctory, he sincerely Instead, Harry didn't know how to respond.

"You were being watched by Snape?" Harry was very uncomfortable when things were out of his control, so when he mentioned the Potions Professor, that greasy old bat, the blue-eyed boy's tone unconsciously brought out strong disgust .

"Headmaster Snape wants to protect me." Igil frowned slightly. He didn't like Harry's tone, so he used the word "Headmaster" to remind the little lion that he had crossed the line. "I should leave Harry," Igil said as Igil removed the magic barrier that isolated the outside world, and their figures appeared in the long corridor again.The suddenly dimmed light made the two boys squint their eyes uncomfortably. Although the scattered torches on the wall were still burning, there was no one walking around quietly. In the unknowing conversation, they had already missed the ancient The humming sound of the big clock, I am afraid that it is already past the night ban time.

"Oops!" Igil groaned. Draco would be worried if he didn't return to the dormitory so late. He didn't care to say goodbye to Harry and ran downstairs quickly. In fact, the blue-eyed little lion was also putting away the map Run towards the Gryffindor common room, and bless him in time to get back to the common room before the Fat Lady closes.

"Igil, Igil!" When Igil was standing on the moving stairs on the fourth floor holding the book he got from the Room of Requirement and waiting for it to stop, a familiar voice sounded from somewhere nearby.He blinked his eyes suspiciously and looked around, suddenly felt that the book in his hand became lighter.

"I'm here, Igil." The magnificent aria dragged its triumphant ending, and the figure belonging to the boy gradually became clear beside him. The hair had betrayed him deeply.

"Draco!" Igil yelled, keeping his voice extremely low so as not to attract the teachers on night watch. "How will you be here."

"I've been looking for you for a long time, Igil." Draco lifted the invisibility spell, he recited a spell silently while putting away his wand, and the tracking spell cast on Igil was removed.Igil didn't notice his little move, which made the platinum boy secretly happy, "I'm worried about you, Igil." Draco's voice was equally suppressed, he was very close to Igil, and a cloud of hot air sprayed on Igil. Jill's face was sweet with fruit pudding.

"I didn't expect you to come to me." Igil didn't dislike Draco's closeness, but the hot air on his face was a little itchy. "Draco—" He moved sideways.

"Hmph, I won't come out to look for you next time. I didn't expect it to be so cold outside at night." The platinum boy tightened his cloak and stuck it close, and put his cold fingers into Igil's collar.

"Don't make trouble!" Igil shuddered and slapped Draco's hand away, "Let's go back quickly, it will be bad if we are not found in the dormitory."

"No one will notice, I've transfigured the pillows to look like us, and confused the sign on the door. Anyone passing by will only see it lit up (the name on the sign Lights up to indicate that people are inside)" The platinum boy's chin was raised at a 45-degree angle, proudly like the white peacock with its tail open in Malfoy Manor, "Igil, you came here because you were picking books in the Room of Requirement Is it late? In fact, the school library has a lot of books. There are a bunch of nasty guys living on the eighth floor, and meeting them will ruin your mood..." Draco suddenly leaned forward, as if he was hit by something .

"Peeves!" Draco pulled out his wand, turned around and pointed quickly, there was nothing behind him, "Huh—" He touched his head in confusion, and lowered the wand in his hand.

In the corridor on the second floor, Mrs. Norris ran up to them. She rubbed affectionately on the corners of the two Slytherin's robes, begging for two small dried fish. "I don't think that group of Gryffindors have found a way to bribe Mrs. Norris," Draco laughed. "Every day when you pass the scoring hourglass, you can see that the gems of Gryffindor are decreasing. Being caught while swimming, cats like to eat fish, why can’t they understand such a simple truth, it’s really——”Crack!Draco leaned forward again, and seemed to be hit by something, this time even Igil heard the sound.

"Draco, who's kidding me!" Draco raised his wand angrily.Igil felt a gust of wind blowing past him, he raised his hand to grab the "wind", and the "wind" twisted in his hand.

"Harry Potter!" Harry was pulled hard, and the Invisibility Cloak slipped off his face. The two boys in the Snake Court looked at him unfriendlyly, and the air suddenly condensed for a few seconds.

"Hi..." Harry greeted them.The platinum boy let out a yelp as he stared at Harry's head floating in mid-air. "Harry Potter! How dare you play with a Malfoy!" His hand grabbed Harry, aiming at the blue-eyed boy's only face that was exposed outside the cloak.

"Come on, Draco!" Igil hugged Draco tightly, avoiding a bloody incident.Taking this opportunity, the little lion drew out his wand and held it up high.

"Listen to me!" The tip of Harry's wand almost touched the platinum boy's throat, and Igil let go of Draco's hand and raised his own wand.

"I think we all need to calm down." He aimed at the lion cub's head exposed from the cloak of invisibility. "Harry Potter, why did you follow us? And attack Draco twice."

"I was locked out of the lounge by the Fat Lady," Harry blinked innocently with his big green eyes, "Can you take me in for a night, Igil? I have nowhere to go. As for attacking Malfoy—" He squinted at Draco and shrugged, "How can that be considered an attack, I just feel angry because he keeps saying bad things about Gryffindor."

"You bastard!" Draco yelled, not rushing forward, Harry's wand still at his throat.

"Draco, calm down!" Igil emphasized again, he and Harry watched each other's movements, restraining each other to put down their respective wands. "Can you take off the cloak of invisibility, Harry." Igil said, looking at the head floating in mid-air, it was too scary to see this scene at night, "You can go to the Room of Requirement, and the secret room will provide you with a Soft bed."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Harry put the invisibility cloak on his arm, and the liquid-like silver-gray invisibility cloak was shining under the night. Although it was not the first time he saw it, it still made people unable to move their eyes away, "I can't Go there, you know, Igil, that secret room can obscure the image on the map, if I stay at night I won't be able to see him." "Harry deliberately didn't say Sirius' name in front of Malfoy but Use "he" instead. Draco's lips quivered slightly as he noticed Igil's gaze resting on the blank parchment in Harry's hand.

"Igil, are you with Harry tonight?" Draco's tone showed anger.

"I met Harry on the way back. He wanted to solve a difficult problem with me, but unfortunately, I let him down." Igil's tone was flat, but Draco, who had been with him for a long time, still felt it Yigil was eager to explain to him, otherwise a sentence would suffice.

"Oh, so that's the case." The platinum boy glanced back and forth at Igil, and forcibly suppressed the corners of his mouth that turned up.In this way, it is indeed very possible that the lion cub was pestering his roommate.

"Harry Potter, I have something to say to you alone!" Draco walked up to Harry and put his face next to the blue-eyed boy's ear, and while doing this, he had already quietly activated the soundproof spell.

"Although I don't know what you want to do with Igil, but Potter, looking back at your great achievements in the past two years, I have to remind you that every year you have to send yourself and the people around you to the medical wing. If you really put If Igil is a friend, don't put him in danger," Draco squeezed Harry's shoulders tightly, if not for lack of strength, he would have crushed them even more. "If something happens to Igil, Black and the Malfoy family will not let you go, Igil is my friend, I don't want him to be hurt a little bit, he is not a group of little lions around the Savior of Gryffindor , Harry Potter, please keep this in mind!" Draco patted Harry's shoulder to loosen the fingers clenched on it, and Harry locked his brows because of his movement.As they parted, Draco lifted the Soundproofing Charm.

"Malfoy, you really caught my eye today." Harry smirked at Draco, whose shoulders must have been bruised.It must be easy for someone to take the wand from him now, because he couldn't hold it firmly.There is a saying that Malfoy is right, Igil is not the group of lion cubs around him, Igil is a Slytherin, Tom's only son, he didn't think clearly before, and used Gryffindor to his friends in a consistent manner.

"Igil, can you take me in for a night?" The same request, but the purpose has changed, he will no longer force Igil to search for Sirius with him, he just wants to spend more time with Igil , to make up for the previous bad impression.

"Potter, I actually thought of a better place for you to spend the night. I believe your own bed will be more comfortable to sleep in." Draco grinned slyly, he didn't want Potter to enter his bed at all. And Igil's private space, that room only belongs to him and Igil.

"Could it be that besides making Mrs. Norris obey, you can also make the fat lady listen to you?" Harry thought of the scene of the platinum-haired boy feeding the cat. The Malfoy family is very good at buying people.

"You don't need to do that, Harry Potter, sometimes you can try to find a teacher to solve the problem," the platinum-haired boy suddenly shouted imitating Harry's voice, "Professor, I am Harry Potter." Li, I'm locked out of the lounge!" Following Draco's cry, a burst of crackling footsteps sounded from downstairs, from far to near. "Like this." Draco said in a low voice.

"Harry, Harry! Where are you?" Professor Lupine's voice came from downstairs, asking hurriedly.Harry let out a wry smile, not expecting Malfoy to do this. "I'm here, Professor." This time it was his own voice, anyway, he would know that he was not in the dormitory, so he might as well admit it.Fortunately, he met Lupine. If it was Professor Snape, his points would be deducted first no matter what the reason.

"Good luck, Potter, Lupine is on duty today." Draco yawned and leaned lazily on Igil, as if he was really sleepy. "Harry has somewhere to go, let's go back to bed too, Igil."

"Harry...good night." Igil said softly. Although Draco's behavior was a bit inappropriate, he would not blame his roommate.Because he wasn't going to take Harry in for a night, even though Harry was his friend.

"Good night, Potter, Lupine doesn't like us, so we have to go first, borrow the invisibility cloak, and return it to you tomorrow." Draco pulled the invisibility cloak from Harry's arms without any politeness, he knew Li will not refuse, he has already calculated these before.When Draco and Igil disappeared into the air together with the cloak, Lupine appeared around the corner of the stairs.

"Igil, you really made a good friend." Harry muttered to himself, did he underestimate Malfoy too much?

"Harry, Harry!" Lupine felt a gust of wind blowing around him as he walked up the corridor on the second floor, but he didn't care because Harry was already close in front of him. "Harry, you—" Lupine stopped because he stepped on something. "Oh, this..." Lupine picked up a worn-out blank parchment, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

"This is mine, Professor Lupine." Harry said hastily. Malfoy must have dropped the cloak when he pulled it away just now. "Thank you, Professor." Harry wanted to take the parchment back from Lupine's hand, but the haggard and gentle professor didn't return it to him immediately, but put on a stern face.

"This map was confiscated by Filch many years ago. I don't know how it got into your hands, but I can't let you hold it anymore, Harry." Lupine said and put the parchment in His own pocket, it doesn't look like he's joking with him. "Let's go, I'll take you back to the dormitory, you should go back to sleep."
