"Could you think I fell in the toilet, Crabbe?"

"No, I just thought you had gone back to the dormitory." Crabbe scratched his head and smiled silly.

Draco shrugged, and walked straight down the corridor, towards the Slytherin dormitory.He turned a corner, but was blocked by a girl with long blonde hair.Faced with this situation, Crabbe seemed to be used to it. He smiled at the girl, skipped her, and continued to walk forward.

"Long time no see, Zabini." The girl said with a smile.

"Long time no see. With all due respect, you are getting more and more charming." Draco praised.

"Oh, really?" The girl flicked her long hair, turned her head slightly, showing some provocative eyes, and then said, "I think the reason why you don't come to me recently is not because I'm becoming more and more charming" " She stretched out her finger, all the way from Draco's chin, across his Adam's apple, and finally stopped on his second button, "Say, my prince, who is more attractive to you?"

"Can I interpret this as jealousy?" Draco flirted with the girl just like the real Zabini, he held the girl's hand and kissed lightly: "I've been a little busy recently, but I promise After a while, it will definitely give you an unforgettable night.”

"you promise?"

"Your prince never lied to you."

When the girl walked away, Draco finally let go of his smirk—he never thought of helping Zabini deal with his old lover by the way, and this account must be settled in the future!

Declining the invitations of many people in the lounge, Draco finally closed the door of the dormitory.

Here it was the same as before, the crackling firewood in the fireplace provided warmth to the cold cellar; the rich and rich aristocratic decorations were everywhere in the room, and the air was always filled with the smell of incense.Draco looked around with nostalgic eyes, and then lay down on his original bed.

After the curfew, everything will begin.Now, he must calm down and deal with it seriously.

-◆◇◆◇◆-

Silent night.

Gryffindor Tower was quiet, save for the even and long breathing of the little wizards.These lively little wizards are falling into a sweet dream at this moment, receiving the gifts from Nix and the sons of Hypnos.

But in a certain dormitory, a little creature opened its eyes in the dark.

It was a little ferret, or rather, old Tonya who almost died before he was born.

He got out of bed carefully, and with his paws, he wiped off the bow on his head, which Ron had made with a greasy pea from dinner.Looking at Ron's sleepy face, he gritted his teeth—he actually tied a bow on the head of an old Auror, an excellent member of the Order of the Phoenix, he would remember this feud!

He jumped to the ground lightly, tried not to make any movement, and slowly walked out of the dormitory holding his breath.He had to get to the Astronomy Tower quickly, and wished Draco all the best.

-◆◇◆◇◆-

"That's how it is."

Cindy's voice sounded unhurriedly, and she raised her head to look at Snape, who habitually concealed his emotions, and she couldn't see any clues from that dull face.

"Draco may be about to open the Vanishing Cabinet right now, or has it already been opened?" Cindy smiled, "But we're already on the move anyway. Whether you agree with it or not, Sev, we're going to do it. "

"Then why did you tell me? To a poor, miserable, manipulative double agent? A pawn?" Snape frowned deeply, and the crease between his brows was as deep as a knife.

Cindy stood up, grabbed Snape who was pacing back and forth anxiously, gently stroked the center of his brow, and flattened it.She comforted the man in front of her in a low tone: "You are not, Sev. In my eyes, you are not only Dumbledore's double agent, but also not a pawn. I am here to tell you everything , I don’t want to hide it from you, and I hope you can join us. You don’t need to obey Dumbledore, you can use better ways to fulfill your promise. Protect her son without losing your soul.” Cindy With a gentle smile in his eyes, he pressed his hand to Snape's heart and continued, "Why don't you give yourself a chance and save it?"

Snape's eyes flickered a little, he lowered his eyes, and fell into silence for a long time, as if the sound of cold wind blowing could be heard in the empty room.Snape's reaction seemed to be within Cindy's expectations, she pulled Snape to sit down, resting her head on his shoulder——

"The most hopeless hell we've all seen, Sev. No one understands your pain better than I do. We've been struggling in the dark for too long, it's time to fight for a sunrise for ourselves."

-◆◇◆◇◆-

Draco put Zabini on the bed and heaved a sigh of relief - he just got Zabini out of the toilet cubicle while no one was around.Just in case, he poured another bottle of transformation potion.

Looking at his new look in the mirror, Draco took a deep breath. From now on he had to think of himself as Zabini, act like him, talk like him, and he had to be careful not to let himself be in the The gang of murderous Death Eaters were exposed in front of their eyes.As Cindy once said, he had no doubts that Aunt Bella would trick him into Avada.

He closed his eyes and walked out of the dormitory with firm steps.

It's officially started.

-◆◇◆◇◆-

"Harry! Harry!!!"

Harry, who was asleep, felt himself being shaken vigorously by someone, and he opened his eyes in a daze.

"Oh, Ron," said Harry, rubbing his eyes, "what's the matter with you?"

"My ferret is gone!" Ron wailed, pinching a bow of ribbon, "He left this and ran away!"

"Sorry to hear this..." Harry rolled over and closed his eyes again.

"Wake up! Let's go out and find it! What if it is captured by Filch?! I don't want it to become the second Mrs. Norris!"

After Ron's relentless efforts and harassment, Harry finally agreed to get up and go on another night tour with him.They huddled under the invisibility cloak, walking carefully.

"Oh! Harry, you stepped on me!"

"...I'm sorry. Merlin, I really miss the Douding figure I used to have."

"No, don't say that, you have to work hard to grow taller, Hermione is almost catching up with you!"

"Shut up, Ron! You..."

"Shh, someone is coming!"

The footsteps came closer, and Harry and Ron stared nervously at the stairs, for fear that there would be a teacher watching the night there.A figure approached slowly, his Slytherin badge gleaming in the night.When the man gradually walked away, Harry said suspiciously:

"Zabini? What is he doing here?"

-◆◇◆◇◆-

"Oh, you're so slow!"

Bella's voice was as arrogant and sharp as ever, and she complained hastily as soon as she jumped out of the cabinet.

"I'm sorry, I'm just afraid of being seen by someone."

Draco tried his best to keep his voice steady. In fact, his heart was aching with tension, and his hands unconsciously gathered the corners of his clothes tightly.But his nervousness not only did not arouse the other party's suspicion, but also aroused a burst of relaxed and joyful laughter.

"Don't be nervous, black boy." Fenrir Greyback hooked Draco's neck, "Look at you now, exactly the same as when you saw your master! Remember that day, your voice was splitting Already!"

Greyback's words set off another burst of high-pitched laughter from the Death Eaters, who were as excited and happy as clowns at a doomsday carnival.Draco quickly realized that he didn't need to hide his emotions at all - for a 16-year-old pampered noble wizard, nervousness and cowardice were the normal reactions he should have.

"Okay, guys, it's time for us to see Dumbledore!" Bella grinned, "I can't wait to hear his begging for mercy!"

"I... I know a good place, and the Dark Mark will be distributed there for the whole school to see!" Draco suggested pretending to be excited.

"Oh, look at Zabini, how actively and conscientiously he is fulfilling his master's orders!" Bella's cold fingers brushed across Draco's face, causing him to shudder, and her breath was like a cold snake wrapped around Draco's ear.After a while, he heard Bella whispering in his ear:

"Then, you lead the way, let's start the carnival."

-◆◇◆◇◆-

"NO TTATT"

The crying in Ron's voice could be heard very clearly in the invisibility cloak, and Harry turned his head, and sure enough, he saw his wrinkled face, weeping and pitiful.

"Ron, don't be like this." Harry said helplessly, "It must still be at Hogwarts, just hiding. We can go back to sleep first and look for it tomorrow."

"No!" Ron said angrily, "What if someone takes it away tomorrow... Oh! Harry!" Ron suddenly shouted.

"Keep your voice down!" Harry looked around nervously, but found no one else.He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "We are traveling at night! You should be careful!"

"I'm sorry, I just thought of it suddenly... Tell me, could it be that Zabini took it away?"

"What?" Harry asked incredulously.

"Zabini! It's Draco's nigger friend!" Ron kept his voice down, which made his exaggerated expression even more comical.He recounted his conjectures to Harry: "I've heard that Slytherins have a habit of cruelty to animals! They're so evil, it's not impossible! Think of that man, he couldn't even resist a defenseless Muggle." Could be abusive! I mean, what if he takes my ferret?"

"...that makes sense."

"Have you got the Marauder's Map? We've just met him not too long ago, and we can catch him before he goes back to the Slytherin dungeons. See where he is?"

The Marauder's Map, as a necessity for night travel, naturally stayed in Harry's wizard robe obediently.Harry unfolded it quickly, took out his wand—

"I solemnly swear that I will do no good."

"Here he is! Oh shit, he's back in the dormitories!" said Ron despondently.

"Ron," Harry pointed to the corner of the Marauder's Map, his voice was full of panic and tension, "Look here!"

"What... Merlin!!!"

At Harry's fingertips, the Marauder's Map loomed the name of Draco Malfoy—a name that had been declared dead.And beside him, there are Amycus Carrow, Alecto Carrow, Fenrir Greyback, Dolphin Rolle, Gibbon and Voldemort's most loyal servant, Bellatri Max Lestrange and Rodolphus Lestrange.

"Isn't he already dead? What's going on? And those Death Eaters?" Ron could no longer control his volume, he asked loudly.

Ron's voice was like a raging fire, and Harry's emotions boiled violently.He panted quickly and vigorously, the anger and inexplicable bad premonition in his heart made his head hot, and he couldn't think calmly——

"This must be a conspiracy! We must stop them!"

"You're right, Harry!"

Gryffindor has always had endless courage and justice, but on the other hand, it can also be seen as not cautious and reckless.Harry and Ron galloped through Hogwarts in the darkness. They wanted to hurry to where the Death Eaters were, but they forgot to notify their professors first.They wore the invisibility cloak - maybe we should be glad they didn't throw it away? ——running stumblingly, on the way, they fell down twice, bruised their knees, kicked over a useless iron bucket, and——saw the Dark Mark blooming arrogantly on the top of the Astronomy Tower.That ugly, hideous mark loomed over Slytherin just like that, like Voldemort's loud mockery.

-◆◇◆◇◆-

"Aha, he's coming!" Bella bared her teeth quickly like a shark smelling blood, and she raised her wand to point at a burning red spot in the sky.

Draco squinted at the approaching figure, and after a few seconds, he saw the man's face clearly—it was indeed Dumbledore, and the flame-like light was his phoenix, Fawkes.

Dumbledore grabbed Fox's paw and landed gently on the edge of the Astronomy Tower.He was wearing his favorite purple starry magic robe, facing the Death Eaters who quickly surrounded him, he did not show the slightest panic or fear.

"Good evening." Dumbledore said blankly.

Dumbledore's greeting seemed the funniest to the Death Eaters, who immediately burst out laughing.

"It seems that this old lunatic hasn't realized the current situation?" Rodolphus approached Draco with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Tell him, Zabini, what are we here for?"

Draco looked at Dumbledore looking straight into his eyes.The old wizard's eyes were too sharp, as if he could see everything. Being stared at by such eyes, Draco felt a little flustered in his heart.He breathed quietly, imitating Zabini's tone, and said, "To solve him."

"bravo!" Greyback applauded.

"No, Blaise." Dumbledore suddenly smiled, he looked at Draco and said, "It shouldn't be you."

"It should be me." Draco said calmly, "You don't know my abilities!"

"I know, of course I know." Dumbledore said, "Of course I know what you have been doing these past few months. You are completing tasks in place of Draco."

Draco couldn't help but stiffen when Dumbledore mentioned his name, but was mistaken by Dumbledore and the other Death Eaters for unwillingness to be a substitute.

"Don't listen to that old lunatic," said Dolphin Rolle, "you can't be swayed by that! You should know that the Dark Lord appreciates you, that dead—"

"Shut up!" Bella suddenly interrupted Luo Er angrily, "You have no right to judge him!"

Bella's vocal maintenance made Draco freeze for a second, and he couldn't help but look at his aunt.

"What are you looking at!" Bella glared at Draco, "Hurry up! Boy! Or let me do it!"

Bella's attitude brought Draco back to his senses quickly. He raised his wand and pointed it at Dumbledore.

"Kill him!" Greyback said.His fingers were clacking, and he seemed ready to rush forward and tear Dumbledore to pieces with his beastly claws.

"Is this what you want, child," Dumbledore ignored the others, but kept looking into Draco's eyes: "Tell me, your choice."

"My choice is to kill you!" Draco said, "to complete the task the Dark Lord gave me!"

"Yes, that's just a mission." Dumbledore answered immediately, "It's not your choice. Ask your heart, would you like it? Don't be stupid, child. Even if I die because of someone today, I don't care. Not because of you—”

"—put down your wand, boy, you are not a murderer."

-◆◇◆◇◆-

Harry and Ron's heartbeats were getting faster and faster, and their brows were covered with nervous sweat.And when they finally arrived at the top of the Astronomy Tower, they saw Zabini holding a magic wand, and——

Dumbledore almost pushed to the edge of the platform.

"Put down your wand, boy, you are not a murderer."

When Harry heard Dumbledore say this, his voice was still as kind as ever, and his eyes were the same wise and calm that Harry was familiar with.

The names on the Marauder's Map quickly flashed through Harry's mind, and for a moment, he seemed to understand something.He was even more angry because of the fact that he had seen through it. He threw off the invisibility cloak, rushed forward, and shouted——

"He's not Blaise Zabini! Dumbledore! Don't be softhearted, kill him!!!"

Holding the Marauder's Map in one hand, he pointed to an inconspicuous dot on it with the other, accusing in a voice loud enough for the whole school to hear——

"He's Draco Malfoy!!!"
