The time trajectory of HP

? Chapter 18

After saying hello to N people, stopping N overly friendly hugs and ignoring N ridicules, I finally returned to my dormitory. Isn't that just lying in the school infirmary all night? Does the whole school need to know?How much gossip are they?Open Draco's class notes and start looking.Allen is in a good mood, because there is very good news today. Umbridge's toad finally hit the headlines of the newspaper. It's not nonsense like compliments and speeches, it's all complaints from parents, and many parents jointly signed it Sue her for abusing students.The photo of the student's wound was bigger than the photo of Umbridge's disfigured face. I heard that she would not be in school all day today. She hid to avoid the harassment of those nagging reporters and some parents.It is estimated that she will not come back again, because of this, there is no Defense Against the Dark Arts class this afternoon.Guess some Gryffindors and Ravenclaws are secretly meeting again in the Room of Requirement.

During dinner time, Alan intentionally didn't come until it was almost over, and sure enough they were all sitting and waiting for him.

"Hey, how are you buddy? Mrs. Pang Rui won't let us see you. I'm relieved to hear Harry say you're fine. You scared me last night, especially about my dad... oh, What are you doing?" Ron screamed in pain after being kicked by several feet.

"Are you sure it's all right? Mrs. Pang Rui said it was a nightmare. I've been looking for information about nightmares. It's really scary. Just a nightmare can make people...um...death. In fact, the Muggle world There are also a lot of news about dying in sleep. Most of the people who have this kind of situation are because they are too nervous, suffer from long-term insomnia, are overworked, and their hearts are too heavy. Your dark circles are heavy, I think you didn’t sleep well, if you have What can we do to help!" Hermione said a lot of knowledge about the nightmare, which really made Allen feel a little bit overwhelmed, isn't it scary?He almost... Allen thought about it and decided to reveal something.

"It's mainly because of me, Hermione. You know we are wizards. When we have negative emotions, it's easy to leak magic power to affect others. Alan's bed is too close to me. It's my fault for being trapped in a dream. "Harry quickly explained.He has always felt sorry for Allen because of this incident.If the negative emotions he revealed were not too intense, otherwise Allen would not be able to reach the level of a nightmare just by having a nightmare.

"But it's different from your situation. Only people who are too nervous will have nightmares. We are friends. If we can share and help, Alan will not have nightmares anymore. Look at his dark circles, we You have to help him, don't you?" Hermione spoke so eloquently that Alan couldn't help but say something.

"Thank you for your concern. I do hide things. In fact, I have been looking for Severus and Dumbledore. Unfortunately, they can't help me. Severus can at most give me some calming potions , You all know that the timing of my coming to Hogwarts at this time is very wrong. The main reason is that my parents are going away to do some business. Please ask Severus to take care of me. I made many excuses that I should experience the life of a magic school. I really believed it, but from what I read of the Daily Prophet. I knew it was all lies. I never got a letter from any of them and I couldn't write to them. So I got more and more scared. I don't know what happened to them, and Severus and the principal didn't tell me. The thing I hope most now is that my father can take me home." The last sentence, Allen said it very sincerely, it was from his heart truest thoughts.

"Do you know something?" Hermione's tone was always full of suspicion.

"From what I heard from the principal, the war may be about to start." Allen replied in a low voice.

The trio looked at him in surprise, apparently not believing it.But they know it well.War will always come.It was no accident that Ron's father was attacked, and if a war were to start, the Ministry of Magic would be the first battleground.

However, they were not sure which side Alan was on!

"Alan, do you know what you're talking about? With so many students in the school, Dumbledore wouldn't tell anyone about this kind of thing casually. Which side are you on?" Hermione asked.

"I hope you can trust me, I am definitely on your side." Allen said sincerely.

"But you're with Malfoy, and his dad is a Death Eater. He's done a lot of things to hurt us." Hermione didn't want to believe it.

"He has to curry favor with Voldemort, doesn't he? I believe that a real Malfoy always values ​​profit. Voldemort is doomed to fail, and Lucius will find a way to get rid of him, but unfortunately he doesn't trust Dumbledore. It's hard to get rid of. said Allen.

"Draco is really on our side?" Harry asked hastily.Hermione looked at him disapprovingly.

"Give it up, Harry, Draco is not going to stand by your side, he doesn't trust you, and you don't trust him. But trust me, he has no desire to serve Voldemort at all. No matter what his father did, his only The bad thing he has done is to tease you. You know he is a coward. He is afraid of terrible monsters." Remembering the time when he secretly used Severus' fireplace to force Draco to watch a movie with him, he chose a horror movie at random, Anyway, the school is full of ghosts and it's certainly not scary.As a result, Draco was so frightened that he fled halfway, and was laughed at by him for a long time.Thinking of this, Allen couldn't help snickering.Dad's reaction was so cute.

"Listen, everyone, I know you're biased against Draco, but you've seen his recent behavior, he's been very friendly, and the inspection team has lost its effect after Umbridge left. Dumbledore intends to convince the Malfoy family , to provide safe haven, not to mention their family is very rich, Dumbledore will need him. Maybe you would like to help Draco with me. Put him on our side. The war is about to start, we have to race against the clock isn't it Is it?" Allen tried to persuade them, and the trio looked at each other, not knowing how to react.

"If Draco really wants to get rid of Voldemort, I'm willing to help him." Harry said.Allen was excited, and he looked expectantly at the other two.

"I can't trust Malfoy. If he has convincing evidence, I'd be happy to help him," said Hermione.The three looked at Ron, the only one who hadn't made a statement yet.Ron was stared at in a daze.

"Does it help if I say disagree?" said Ron.The three returned his useless expressions.

"It's not convenient to talk here. We have to go to Dumbledore. We need a plan." Allen knew that only by going to Dumbledore can they fully accept Draco.Christmas is coming soon, Draco will go home, and the things he will encounter at home are enough to give him nightmares all night.

The trio had different reactions to Alan. They all thought he was an outsider who didn't know anything before, and later thought he might be a descendant of the Death Eaters.What now?They can't judge him, he must have a lot of things hidden from them.

It's impossible to tell if it's true or not.He hides too deep.If you want them to believe him 100%, you have to give him Veritaserum.Of course Draco is the same.

They looked towards the mat, where Dumbledore was still there, and saw them looking at him, greeting them with a goblet of brown liquid that was at hand.After a while, four plates of lemon cake appeared in front of them, and the foursome smiled back at Dumbledore.

In front of Dumbledore's office.

"Lemon cake." Harry said the password, and the foursome walked in one after another.Dumbledore was waiting for them.

"Good evening, boys."

"Good evening, Professor, we have something to ask," said Harry.

"Alan appeared in my office with you, which means that you are all for one thing, the position of the Malfoy family. Lucius will not be on our side, but that is not important. What is important is that he does not Stand by Voldemort."

"Will he give up Voldemort? He's loyal to him," Harry asked eagerly.

"Lucius is a typical Malfoy, mercenary, but Malfoy has another characteristic, which is also a typical weakness. They value every member of the family. Lucius loves his wife and children very much. Maybe you would like to hear me tell a story."

Dumbledore stood up, looked at the quartet curiously, and started the story.

"Malfoy's mind is always full of Galleons. Lucius and his father Abraxas made a fortune off of Voldemort. But Voldemort is not the same now, at least not with him. The person I admired since I was a child is different. When Voldemort was still Tom, he won Abraxas, who was the richest in the wizarding world at that time, in his student days. Abraxas trusted him very much. As a friend, he helped Tom win over Slater There are many wealthy and aspiring purebloods in the woods. It is a pity that Tom's ideas are too extreme and do not agree with Abraxa's ideas. They often quarrel. Tom thinks that Abraxas wants to betray him. Tom ran away, and Abraxas was the least Malfoy like Malfoy. He was lazy by nature and didn't like to calculate. He was very disappointed in Tom and didn't like Tom's changes very much. Later, he lingered in it and didn't go home often In a few years... um... died. At that time, Lucius was still young, and he was raised by Tom. Later, when Lucius grew up, he admired Tom at the time and agreed with his ideas and the wizarding future he envisioned .Even if Tom started to change, his heart of following did not change. Until Tom really turned into Voldemort and began to be moody and wanton killing people. At that time, Lucius had just graduated. I even wanted to help him. Obviously he was very distrustful. I even thought Tom would change back. But the years of torture that followed destroyed his patience and confidence. It wasn't until Voldemort suddenly disappeared 14 years ago. Some Death Eaters who feared Voldemort were relieved. But now, Voldemort has come back, and he has become a hideous face, more brutal than before. He even killed his own subordinates just because he was angry. Some Death Eaters with children are obviously afraid of him, and they don't want their children to follow their steps. Follow the footsteps. No one is sure, the next second may be the demise of the family." Dumbledore finished telling the story of the Malfoy family, sat down, and poured himself a glass of wine.

"Why does it sound like a soap opera?" Allen suddenly interrupted the contemplation of the other three.A certain nerve in Harry and Hermione's mind suddenly trembled, and the expressions on their faces became strange.The sadness and sympathy that had been brewing just now disappeared without a trace.

It seems to be a bit.The two thought in unison.They had grown up in the Muggle world and knew all too well what a soap opera was.

"What is a soap opera?" Ron asked strangely.

The other three did not intend to answer him.

"So we're going to help Malfoy out?" Harry asked.

"What we actually need to do at the moment is provide a safe haven. And move them safely. The problem is, it's very difficult. Because Lucius is marked, no matter where he is, Voldemort can find him. If His wife and children fled first, and Lucius must die. So the top priority is still to weaken Voldemort's power. Only when Voldemort becomes weak can the Dark Mark be completely eliminated," said Dumbledore.

"Then what should we do? Apart from fighting him one-on-one, I can't think of any other way to weaken him."

"I've been thinking about a problem for a while. I need to verify. If it's true, then we have a way to deal with him. It's a brilliant idea. Until I get a definite result. I can't tell you. Not yet Time. I'll let you know when the time comes. So kids, it's getting late, and I think you still have homework to do."

The group of four was unwilling, but the principal had issued an order to evict the guests. Even if there was a problem, they had to stay until the next time.When they heard that there was a way, they seemed to see the dawn of victory.As long as there is a way to deal with Voldemort, there is no more exciting news than this.

Back in the lounge, I found that they were all celebrating with great excitement.The twins can't wait to share the good news with them.Because the investigators dispatched by the Ministry of Magic have been questioned by parents and wizards from all walks of life, they will not send people over in a short time. They can relax for a long time without seeing another Umbridge.This is undoubtedly good news. ?
