Slytherin Code of Conduct 62: Mistakes can only be covered up for a while

After Draco calmed down, he remembered the second thing that came today, "Harry, I haven't given you a birthday present this year yet."

"So mysterious? What is it this time?" Harry asked curiously.After Draco gave him so many precious, practical and meaningful gifts, the things they gave each other in the past two years have become ordinary and sincere, such as a book, or a space schoolbag made by themselves of.Besides, when you encounter something really useful, such as this amulet, you don't have to wait until your birthday or Christmas to give it.

In fact, Draco has been thinking about whether to give this gift for a long time. After they experienced a crisis of trust and tempered their relationship, he can now let it go with peace of mind. Draco said, "Dobby!"

Almost a second later, with a snap, Dobby the house elf, wearing a tattered and dirty old pillowcase, stood on the old woolen hand-woven rug of the Black family.

Dobby felt his master's call from Malfoy's house, followed the induction and Apparated. When he landed and saw Harry Potter for the first time, he was so excited that even his big tennis eyes couldn't help crying. Immediately, he continued to express his admiration, but because Draco was here, Dobby did not make any disrespectful actions in the end, but bowed respectfully to Draco in a very humble, careful and trembling manner, "Master Draco."

"Draco." Harry was a little embarrassed. It can be said that the fuse of their conflict was caused by Dobby. Harry regretted that quarrel, but at the same time felt that the Malfoy family treated an elf so coldly. Uncomfortable, and Dobby's heart is not bad, it's just that people want wages, Malfoy Manor is not without money, and one Galleon a week is not an excessive requirement.Look at Kreacher, he scolded Sirius back then, but now he is not regarded as an important family member by everyone. In this ancient Black family, Kreacher is the number one inside and outside the house!

"Harry, you should know Dobby, right? He attacked you once, in the second year." Draco admitted with an uneasy face, "I haven't told you about it, because Dobby disobeyed the master. Sneaking out of the manor without permission, and trying to hurt you, and implicating me, this kind of rebellion is a great shame to the master."

Harry's heart trembled, he stared at Dobby who was already trembling with fear, and then at Draco who had a gloomy face, he was careful not to say a word, it would be a great shame if he left the manor, then Dobby later told him Tom's diary Did Ben have to be killed for that matter?

Draco has never been clear about the diary, so his focus today is not there at all, "Dobby always wants to get paid for his services, which is an offense, so at Malfoy Manor, he Being reviled, he is a rebellious house elf. Although there are no more elves in the Malfoy family than him, and one less than him, as a house elf, he knows too many secrets of his master, so he can be Exile, but can't give him freedom. I know he really treats you well and adores you, so Harry, if you are willing to claim him and pay him, I can consider giving Dobby freedom, as long as he swears not to reveal the details of Malfoy Manor secret."

"Of course!" Harry's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, this is the most perfect solution, he really didn't expect Draco to think about an elf, and would be willing to give Dobby freedom!

"Dobby, Dobby - can you be free?" Dobby, who had been worried all the time, had his big ears pricked up, "Dobby, Dobby is willing to swear, the little master wants Dobby to swear, and Dobby swears. Dobby is willing to be great The service of Mr. Harry Potter, great Harry Potter, Dobby, Dobby only needs one Galleon a week!"

Draco's expression became more and more unbearable. Being disgusted by his own house elves like this, he yearned for freedom so impatiently, and shamelessly negotiated conditions for work. If this house is replaced by someone else, it's not Harry, probably Draco Ke can get an Avada on the spot!

Draco pointed at Dobby with his wand, "Dobby, are you willing to swear that you will never reveal the secrets of Malfoy Manor, the secrets of the former owner, no matter who your future owner becomes?"

"Dobby will!"

A silver thread erupted from Draco's wand, wrapped itself around Dobby's body, and disappeared.

"Dobby, are you willing to follow and serve Harry James Potter from now on, take him as your master, swear allegiance and swear to protect him from any harm?"

"Dobby will!"

A second silver thread erupted from the wand, eventually disappearing into Dobby's body.

"Dobby, will you swear to keep your new master's secrets, great and small; to obey his orders, however great; and never against his wishes, subject to the second?"

"Dobby will!"

After the last silver thread was wrapped around and disappeared, Draco flicked his wand, "Clothes!"

In place of Dobby's tattered old pillowcase, a white hoodie with Harry's initials embroidered in curly script was worn over the battered elf.Dobby looked down at his new clothes, at the initials of Harry Potter on it, at the old master Draco, then at the new master Harry, hugging Harry's calf Weeping excitedly.

Draco's face was pale and his tone was harsh, "Harry, take care of your house-elf!"

Harry turned and hugged Draco, "Thank you, Draco! This is the best birthday present since you gave me Sirius!"

Although Dobby was really loyal to Harry, but this little elf was clumsy and a bit nervous, and Harry had to admit it—but it was also through Dobby that everyone knew that the honorable old Black family Proud and bratty elf, what a house-elf Kreacher is!

In less than three days, Dobby's yelling, agitation, and incoherent problems were all gone, and even the mistake of doing bad things with good intentions was completely reformed.

Kreacher coughed, and Dobby could stand up straight in a corner in a second;

With a snap of Kreacher's fingers, Dobby can serve tea or fruit to the hosts on time; even with a glance of Kreacher's eyes, Dobby can iron the newspaper neatly and put ink-free on the breakfast plates of the hosts beside.In short, when drinking coffee, if you want to add some milk, Dobby will never pass you the sugar jar, and you don't even need to ask!

Draco put down the black tea in his hand, and couldn't help but look at Kreacher again. He really felt that he should call Kreacher to Malfoy Manor to give the elves a collective training.

"The Daily Prophet is getting more and more boring. It's all nonsense and whitewashing!" Harry put down the newspaper in his hand and rubbed his temples. He didn't sleep well last night.

Draco also put down today's newspaper and touched Harry's forehead. They began to learn Occlumency, but Harry's effect was particularly unsatisfactory. It may be because the constant pain from the scar made him unable to calmly clear his mind. It could only get worse, and Draco decided to go to the library later to see if he could find any solution.

"There's no way around it," Sirius was still flipping through the newspaper. "If Fudge continues to let this kind of public opinion continue, he's probably going to step down. Of course, he will try his best to miss the position of minister... oh , damn it, they removed Dumbledore from his position as President of the International Federation of Wizards!"

The werewolf was a little surprised, but not too surprised, "Oh, how many positions are these?"

The truth is that, after the headlines of the previous week, the Daily Prophet this past week has started to look more and more like that whitewashed holiday Draco remembered from his previous life—the mouth of Rita Skeeter In the end, she said that the sky is falling, and she also smashed herself——just because of her inquisitiveness, fanning the flames, holding on to the Ministry of Magic’s little braid, and bluntly saying that the Ministry of Magic is rotten to the core, digging deeper and deeper inside, writing When it comes to the savior, the Death Eaters are pulled out, and the Dark Lord is also vaguely involved, can there be no accidents?

The editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet was suspended for investigation after the shocking scandal of Ludo Bagman was disclosed. The reason was that he was involved in a bribery suspicion. Before the charges were clarified, he was asked to relinquish all duties and was detained at home pending investigation; The deputy editor-in-chief who took over later, probably with the role of scaring chickens and monkeys, did put down the news about Ludo Bagman, but immediately encountered the lawsuit of Harry Potter encountering dementors, which was full of turmoil.After this series of reports, the deputy editor was finally suspended for 'negligence' or something, so the paper was completely taken over by an interim director of some kind appointed by the government; and then Rita Skeeter, as a As a freelance reporter, there was no way to fire her. The Ministry of Magic couldn't reach out that far, but Fudge finally found a way. Rita received a court summons for defamation. Before the case was over, her reporter The certificate was seized.

A while ago, because of Harry's incident, Dumbledore published a very short social security warning, although it was changed beyond recognition after it was published, and the newspaper directly deleted the "Return of Voldemort" under pressure from the government. Such 'rumours'.But just Dumbledore's signed security warning in such a socially tense atmosphere is enough to arouse everyone's vigilance. More and more people turn their attention and hope to Hogwarts, eager to hear more voices and opinions. Suggestion, because everyone knows, trusts and supports a Dumbledore who is strong enough to stand like a mountain.

But the direct consequence of this is that several of Dumbledore's titles in the Ministry of Magic were removed.

The officials of the Ministry of Magic headed by the Minister of Magic are busy repairing the past and putting out fires. As a result, after more than a month of turmoil in the public opinion circle, the current situation of whitewashing and praising the peace in the newspapers appeared.The pressure on the Ministry of Magic has eased a bit, but from these unusual actions, many people have begun to have a sense of distrust of the government and become alert--Dumbledore's goal of making people alert is finally complete!

In the situation of Voldemort's comeback, in the following holiday life, the Weasley twins, Ron and Ginny were entrusted by Mrs. Weasley to live in Black's old house. Their burrow was too remote and their resistance was not high. Well, the Weasley family is still a die-hard supporter of Dumbledore and an important member of the Order of the Phoenix. Molly can't protect so many children if she is really troubled by Death Eaters at home alone.As a mother, she had to carefully consider the safety of her children.

That being the case, Draco suggested that Hermione come along, if she had come back from a trip to Bulgaria, Black's old house was now a safe fort anyway, safer than her Muggle family.Besides, when it came to finding a solution to Harry's Occlumency blockage, Hermione was definitely a problem solver, more effective than ten Weasleys combined!

Sure enough, within three days after Hermione came here, she found a method similar to yoga meditation for Harry to try. As a result, Occlumency began to improve obviously——she saw it on a Muggle TV program a few days ago , inspired by that - Draco was a bit taken aback.

The amulet on Harry's body, I don't know whether it is a psychological effect, a habit effect, or the energy of the amulet itself. When Harry holds it, he will feel calm, and then slowly, he finally started to get started.After getting started, Harry made rapid progress. As Occlumency became more and more accessible, Harry, who was cut off from that connection, found that his scar didn't hurt so much, which also helped him keep his mind clear. , and he can finally sleep soundly at night, this is a virtuous circle, the driving force for progress.

Draco took this opportunity to also learn the spell to summon the Patronus, with great success, and his Patronus was an eagle, possibly the golden falcon on Malfoy's crest (but that's a legendary creature), or possibly It's Ravenclaw's eagle, which is incredible!Because the Patronus summoned by Hermione happens to be a little badger, not sure it's the one on the Hufflepuff school flag, but it's really similar - making Draco, Harry and Hermione look at each other .

The patron saints of other people are varied, and many are normal.

The impenetrable nature of Black's old house determines that it will inevitably become the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. Some people, whom Draco knows or does not know, come here from time to time for meetings to discuss confidential matters, and they are probably all inside information, because from the newspapers Now there is no clue of any Dark Lord's whereabouts at all.

Sirius, adhering to Gryffindor's habit of flouting the rules and the two years of Slytherin education of the Black family, will reveal some important but non-confidential meetings to Draco and Harry, and when Harry follows the latest developments simultaneously After the development, basically the little lions and little eagles under the same roof will also know about it, so this time, there are no little animals eagerly wandering around the door of the meeting room to fight against Mrs. Weasley, except that they are no longer curious about the content of the meeting Besides - they don't want to see Professor Snape Wow!

During the holidays, they still have to face Professor Snape's face that is so severe that their legs soften and their hearts are weak all the time. Ying Lao has long been resident in the library of Black’s old house, and I have to say that he has the foresight. In fact, the little snakes feel guilty when facing the dean, but there is no way. Their Occlumency requires His Majesty the Snake King to personally Acceptance results, uh, or additional technical guidance.

"Professor..." Harry had just finished his insanity, and his body was weak and his feet were weak. It wasn't just a sequelae of the spell, but the professor just turned over a lot of his 'prohibited' matters in school in his mind.

This is dead!

"I seem to have seen you sneaking into the restricted section just now... splashing ink on the wall... breaking into the forbidden forest... and those joke items that have been banned long ago... Potter! You sneaked into the principal's office in the middle of the night to do What?" Professor Snape reprimanded sharply, he really didn't expect that he would do so many daring things under his nose!

When Harry finally came out of the study, he was like a ghost, with that face, that breath, Hermione thought he had been given [Cruciatus].

Draco glanced at him, feeling the cold wind blowing down his spine. Fortunately, he had already learned Occlumency under Aunt Bella's Spartan whip during the summer vacation of the fifth grade in his previous life. Draco took a deep breath. With a sigh, he pushed the door and went in.

"Harry, are you okay?" Hermione asked worriedly.

The Weasleys just happened to go upstairs at this time, and the twin Bludgers immediately surrounded them. They all knew that Draco and Harry had an extra 'holiday tutoring', but they didn't expect to see this scene, Merlin's Pants!What kind of tutorial is this?

"Harry, what did the old bat do to you?"

"Harry, Professor Snape didn't care much about you, did he?"

"Harry, did you just cry?" asked Ron, that brainless.

"The professor scolded you?"

"Hermione," Harry's hands were cold, and as soon as he grabbed Princess Ravenclaw, his lips turned white and trembled, "No matter what, you have to help me, I don't want to go through this again!"

Harry hadn't completely recovered from the deep spiritual stimulation, when Professor Snape suddenly came out of the study, everyone was terrified and trembling, and then saw Professor Snape's livid face—— This thought, the prince of Slytherin in it will not be torn to pieces by the snake king.

After Professor Snape's death sight washed all these little monsters one by one, he left like a hurricane, and the group recovered their senses and scrambled into the study, "Draco!"

Draco was sitting on the ground by the door, obviously fell, he slowly turned his head to look at the crowd, his face was uglier than Harry's!As soon as he entered the door, the godfather's [Instinct] came in a surprise attack. He was completely unprepared, so it was inevitable—although he finally resisted, but Draco said with a pale face and a trance, "Passed, but ...The godfather must be thinking about how to get my cramps peeled off..." Just now the godfather saw his experiments in the Room of Requirement, and those banned books...

Hermione grabbed her matted hair. Just two weeks ago she had never heard of Occlumency or Legilimency, but now, she thought it was so important!
