Platinum Working Guys at Hotel California

It's like walking alone in a swamp in the middle of the night.

Both sides of the road are covered with hard and barbed thorns, the feet are wet and slippery mud, the breath is filled with miasma, and the sky is covered with layers of oppressive clouds, and a blood-red last quarter moon is in that haze He poked his head out furtively.The world is iron-gray, lifeless, and hopeless.

Draco struggled in such absurd and terrifying nightmare, suffering like a fish in a dry quagmire, almost suffocating in the endless torture.

He was struggling.

"... Draco... Draco..."

Someone patted his face lightly and kept calling his name.The voice seemed to be the witchcraft of oriental evocation, pulling him out of the boundless nightmare.

"...!!"

Draco opened his eyes suddenly, but his eyes were blurred like a layer of fog.He was breathing hard and coughing painfully like a drowning man.Someone helped him up, squeezed his mouth not very gently and poured down a bottle of potion.After a while, Draco slowly recovered, and his vision gradually became clear.

"Honey, are you feeling better?"

Cindy held an empty potion bottle in one hand, supported Draco's shoulder with the other, and asked worriedly.The scratch on her forehead hadn't been treated in time, and a few strands of hair were scattered on it, sticking together with the dried blood.

"……I'm okay."

Draco heard that his voice was hoarse and ugly as if he had returned to the voice change period, and his throat was dry and sore.

Seeing her uncomfortable appearance, Cindy tapped the empty potion bottle with her wand, and it was filled with clean water immediately.

Draco drank the water that Cindy handed over, looked at her embarrassed look, frowned and said, "You should clean yourself up first."

"It's just a trivial matter," Cindy said disapprovingly, touching the wound on her forehead. "It was you," she went on, "that nearly stopped my heart when I saw you fall! You were unconscious for a while, and we took you straight to the Burrow. Do you remember what happened to you? You were About the dementor attack?"

Draco frowned, but didn't answer.Being kissed by a dementor was not a beautiful experience, and he hoped he would never have to relive that feeling in his life.He turned the conversation to another matter.

"I saw Dad," Draco said.

Cindy was slightly taken aback, and said, "Lucius is here too? I thought only Sev was here."

"I'm pretty sure it was him, he used a levitation spell to support me while you were hanging me in the air." Draco's brows were full of worry, "I'm a little worried, Cindy .There's a bad feeling that's been in me, and I can't stop it."

"Relax, Draco," Cindy reassured him, "it was dark and no one would notice."

"It's not just about this." Draco frowned severely, and continued, "Livia once called my name in front of the Death Eaters."

"What?!" Cindy exclaimed immediately, "When?"

"It was that day in Diagon Alley, and the situation was complicated...Anyway, she called me by my name," Draco said.

"Oh, oh." Cindy also became uneasy, "It's really worth noting... I think I have to tell Sif to tell Sissy and Lucius to pay more attention." She thought for a while, then said, " Did Dumbledore know?"

"I told him, and he promised me to rescue Mom and Dad when they were in danger." Draco sneered, playing with the empty potion bottle in his hand, "But I didn't believe him."

"We can only base our confidence on the fact of your death," Cindy sighed. "As long as the mysterious people don't know the fact that you are still alive, then they will be safer. But this situation is still fraught with danger. , I mean, You-Know-Who has always been elusive."

The scene suddenly fell into a stagnation, and both of them fell silent thoughtfully.

Draco thought for a while, then asked Cindy, "How do you usually contact the godfather?"

"We don't communicate, but we have this." Cindy took out a Galleon from his pocket and handed it to Draco, "But when each other is injured, the Galleon in each other's hands will be hot, and then the Galleon on the top will burn." Show where the other party is—if it is not protected by the Loyalty Curse." Cindy looked at the Golden Galleon, took a deep breath, and continued, "Of course there is another situation, if this Golden Galleon If it splits in the middle, it means that even if you rush over, it won't help - I hope this situation will never happen in my life."

Draco stroked the Galleon in his hand, it was as calm and cold as an ordinary gold coin.After a while, he said, "Can you help me and my mom and dad make a gold galleon like this?"

"Of course," Cindy patted Draco's head, "don't worry, I'll talk to Moody and the others. I won't let Sissy and Lucius have anything to do, they are also my family."

Draco nodded, and was about to say something more when he saw Molly Weasley gently push the door open.He swallowed what he was going to say, and put Jin Gallon back into Cindy's hand calmly.

Molly walked over and gave Draco a friendly smile.She had completely seen Draco as a normal kid, not a Malfoy.

"Do you feel okay?" Molly asked naturally, like an elder who had known Draco for many years.

"Not bad," Draco replied briefly, and after a long pause, he added reluctantly, "Thank you."

Molly laughed at Draco's reaction, then turned her gaze to Cindy and asked, "Have you given him the soul stabilizer?"

Cindy showed Molly the empty bottle, and complained, "A dementor was used? You-Know-Who must be crazy! The Weasley boys are back?"

"Not yet." Molly frowned deeply, "I hope they are safe!"

"What about the others?" Draco asked.

"Old Tonya wasn't hurt at all! Under those circumstances!" Cindy made an incredible expression, and continued: "Harry woke up a little earlier than you and is sitting in the living room, are you going to see him?" ?”

"...I think you must be joking." Draco sternly refused, thought for a while, and asked, "Where's Livia?"

Hearing Draco's question, Cindy immediately put on a look [Ah, ah, the godchildren are in love! ]'s mother's expression, Mo Li replied interfacely: "She just arrived for a while, I think..."

"Draco—!"

Molly's words were interrupted by an eager cry, but the cheerful woman was not displeased at all. Instead, she looked at Livia who rushed into the room like a steel cannon, with a smile on her face. Then he turned to Draco and said, "Looks like you don't need my answer!"

"We don't need to be there!" Cindy answered immediately.She pulled Livia over, pushed her to sit on the edge of the bed, and stood up with Mrs. Tonks on her arm.Molly tapped her head amusedly, and she stuck out her tongue mischievously.

Livia didn't expect that her words would attract the joint banter of the two adults. She blushed and looked at Draco, then at Cindy who was blinking at her, and scratched her head in embarrassment.

Molly seemed to see Livia's embarrassment, and said, "I'll help you make some food", and pulled Cindy out.Before going out, Cindy didn't forget to hold the door frame, and shouted at the two with a gossipy smile: "Enjoy the time together~~~~~"

The door was closed decisively by Molly, and the cabin finally became quiet.

Perhaps it was the strange environment and the dim light that added to the ambiguous atmosphere, but Draco felt a little uncomfortable because of Cindy's words. He looked at the ceiling, and observed the dark pattern on the quilt for a while. After all, Still cast his sights on Livia.At this moment, Livia seemed to be troubled by Cindy's words, she turned her head stiffly, and looked here and there with deer-like eyes, but she didn't look at Draco.

Livia's embarrassment pleased Draco very much. He even forgot that he was in such a state just now, and began to observe Livia in his spare time.He stared at Livia's cheeks that were slowly turning pink, and suddenly felt that Livia's current appearance was like a furry and magical creature like a velvet, which made people feel the urge to reach out and pinch.

Livia seemed to be aware of Draco's sight, her face became more and more red, and her eyes stopped aiming randomly, but stared straight at the empty potion bottle left by Cindy on the bedside , as if there is some fascinating secret hidden in the bottle.Livia's tense look made Draco even happier, he seemed to enjoy the current atmosphere, and even changed to a more comfortable position to make himself more comfortable.

Under Draco's strong psychological quality and laser-like sight scanning, Livia finally surrendered and whispered with red ears, "Are you feeling okay?"

"As you can see," Draco replied, "it can't get any better than this."

"But you don't look as good as you say you are."

"You must know that your observation skills are never trustworthy." Draco raised his eyebrows, looked at Livia's worried expression, and smiled: "Hey, listen, I didn't have a broken limb, and I didn't have any blood. If it flows like a river, you don't have to put on that expression."

Hearing this, Livia wrinkled her nose and retorted: "Hmph, come on, I just lay on the bed with a pale face, and I don't know who it is who is still moaning in pain?"

"Maybe it's that stupid Scarhead out there?"

"So you mean let me kill him?"

Harry's roar outside the door unabashedly rushed into the space where the two were alone, interrupting the conversation.

Draco's face immediately sank, and his eyes became cold.Livia was also taken aback for a moment, subconsciously looked at Draco, tilted her head and asked, "What's going on outside? Shall we go out and have a look?"

Seeing Livia looking over, Draco returned to his relaxed expression, shrugged, and said, "It seems that the great savior has new dissatisfaction." He lifted the quilt and continued, "Let's go out and have a look. "

Livia helped Draco get out of bed, in exchange for Draco's raised eyebrows and smirk.She snorted and turned her head away with her lips pursed, her hand still on Draco's elbow.Regarding Livia's inconsistency, Draco only glanced at her, and walked straight out of the room without saying anything, but the smile that hadn't faded from the corner of his mouth seemed to indicate that he was not in a good mood. Too bad.

It's a pity that his good mood only lasted for a short while, before it was shattered by the quarrel of several people outside the door.

Draco stood behind the door, didn't make a sound, and didn't step out of the door, just watched quietly with a sneer.Livia stood beside him, looked up at Draco - he returned to the cold aristocratic appearance that Livia was not familiar with, which made Livia feel a little uncomfortable, because at this time, Draco Laco seemed as far away as a person from another world.She drooped her eyelids, bit her lips, and tried to divert her attention to the dispute between the few people in front of her.

Everyone's mood looked dire.

Harry looked like a green-eyed tree frog that had been inflated, and he was about to explode; old Tonya and Moody were sitting on the sofa nearby, both smoking their pipes.Old Tonya looked a little serious, stern and troubled; and Lupine, the good-natured werewolf, showed his displeasure with Harry for the first time.He stood in front of Harry, frowning disapprovingly, while Tonks took his arm, trying to calm him down; Arthur, who was supposed to be waiting for them at the Burrow, was nowhere to be seen. silhouette.

"So you think I should kill Stan Thornpark?" Harry asked angrily, blushing, "He's not a Death Eater! He's just insane! He doesn't even know who he is! You Do you think I can kill such a person?"

"Of course not," said Lupine, "but the Death Eaters - and, frankly, most of them - want you to attack back! Embarrassment is a useful spell, Harry, but the Death Eaters seem to think it's yours Iconic action, I strongly urge you not to let things become like that!" (Note ①)

"No - I can't!" Harry continued, "I can't kill an innocent person just because of this!"

"Even if you will be recognized because of it?" Lupine asked in a deep voice.

"Even if I'm recognized for it!" Harry replied firmly.

"This is really...!" Moody stomped impatiently, not knowing how to express his feelings, so he just kept repeating: "This is really!"

"Hmph." Draco snorted coldly when he heard Harry's words, and said coolly in a volume that only he and Livia could hear: "Savior!"

Livia also frowned, she felt that Harry now looked like those lonely heroes in American movies who love all mankind.But this is not acting in a movie. Doesn't he know that if he does this trick again next time, everyone will be in big trouble?

Old Tonya choked on Harry's firm attitude, his mouth moved a few times, and finally he just closed the mouth of his pipe.He waved his hands weakly, unwilling to argue with Harry on this issue any longer.Taking a puff of his cigarette, old Tonya muttered, "I really don't know if the 'theory of invincibility of love' that Dumbledore taught you is right..."

There was a sudden noise in the yard, and Draco turned to see Hagrid and Kingsley running in, with Hermione following closely behind them.

"Harry!" Hermione rushed forward, staggered towards Harry, and hugged him tightly.

"Thank goodness! You're all right!" said Hagrid, wiping away tears.

"You're late," said Harry, "what's going on?"

"We are surrounded by dozens of Death Eaters," Bill led Fleur into the house, and answered Harry, "There are so many Death Eaters, we tried our best to escape! If it wasn't for Jin Sly came to meet him, I really don't know what will happen!"

"The Death Eaters are like leeches! They keep chasing them!" Fleur looked shocked. "This is really strange. Could it be that he knows our plan? Is your eyeliner trustworthy?"

Fleur's words made Draco straighten his back, and his eyes shot toward Fleur like a carving knife.Bill pulled Fleur over and stood in front of her, meeting Draco's eyes.

"I trust them." Harry said suddenly, "I saw Snape today, and he has been escorting us. As for Malfoy... I think, I can trust Draco Malfoy."

When Hermione heard Harry's words, she looked at him in surprise, but found that his eyes were very firm at the moment.She couldn't believe it and said: "Harry? Merlin! What happened between you and Malfoy?" She became more and more suspicious, "Your attitude was very strange yesterday. Does it look like you've been in contact with Malfoy?"

"No...I mean..." Harry stuttered at Hermione's sudden question, "I mean..."

"He's been patrolling Privet Drive every day for a few weeks!" Moody explained for Harry, "He's always been a formidable enemy!"

The strange attitude of Moody and Harry made Hermione even more strange, and she looked at Harry's dodging eyes, which strengthened her mind.She wanted to ask something more, but Kingsley didn't give her this chance.

"Moody is right, the mysterious man is determined to win Harry tonight! Fortunately, we have set up enough transfer stations to escape." Kingsley slumped on the sofa exhaustedly, "Where's Arthur? "

"He saw that you hadn't come back for a long time, so he went to Downing Street (Note ②)." Molly replied.

"This really helped me a lot." Kingsley breathed a sigh of relief, "I even saw the mysterious man, he will—"

"Fly," said old Tonya, "I saw it too."

"He disappeared halfway, did he find you?" Bill asked.

"Yes," said Lupine, "because he cast the Disarming Charm on Stan Thornpark."

"Disarming Curse?" Kingsley asked incredulously, "Merlin, Harry..."

"Oh, enough, enough, Kingsley." Harry frowned. "I've had enough reprimands before you came!"

The blue light that suddenly appeared on the ceiling interrupted the conversation of several people. The blue light became bigger and brighter, and several people spun and fell from the middle.

"Ow!"

"Oh!"

"ah!"

"what--!"

There is no doubt that the above four cries of pain were all made by Ron alone.He was the first to fall to the ground from the blue light, but before he could get up, George, Fred, and Daniel fell on top of him like an arhat.

"Merlin! Help!" screamed Ron, his face covered in dirt and scratches, and he looked terrified.

Before he could laugh at Ron's stupidity, Draco realized something was wrong.The blood stained the floor almost as soon as Daniel landed on the ground. He frowned and walked quickly with Livia.

"He's been hit by the Blasting Curse!" Fred yelled, and there were some small cuts on his face that didn't look serious.

"God..." Livia covered her mouth and exclaimed in a low voice, and she tightly gathered Draco's sleeves.

Several people hurriedly moved Daniel to the sofa, and Molly was terrified, standing by the side at a loss.Ron stood beside his mother tremblingly, as if he hadn't recovered from the danger just now.Daniel's complexion was pale, his right palm was bloody, and his shoulder was also injured.Fortunately, he seems to be sane.

"Merlin!" Cindy quickly took out a space bag, took out a dozen potions from it, and poured it into Daniel's mouth.

"I'm fine..." Daniel swallowed the potion with a bitter face, and whispered.

"Don't think the medicine is bitter like a child!" Cindy reprimanded, "Bai Xian! Draco! Help me find Bai Xian!"

Draco grabbed Livia's hand and pulled her to the sofa.He found Bai Xian from the interspatial bag that Cindy threw on the ground, but instead of handing it to Cindy, he turned around and put it in Livia's hand.

"I guess you know how to use it?" Draco asked, raising an eyebrow.

Livia, who was in a panic, regained her senses because of Draco's thoughtful gesture. She nodded eagerly, and immediately knelt down beside Daniel.She pulled out the cork of Baixian, and poured it on Daniel's right hand without saying a word.But because they were too eager, most of them fell to the ground.

"Be careful," Draco knelt down, held Livia's hand, and asked with raised eyebrows, "I guess you're not a fool who can't even hold a potion bottle steady?"

Livia glanced at Draco, took a deep breath, and carefully continued to treat Daniel's wound.Old Tonya seemed satisfied with Draco's handling and gave him an appreciative look.

The moment Daniel's scary wound touched Bai Xian, a puff of green smoke rose.After the smoke cleared, the terrible wound finally stopped bleeding.Pink tender flesh covered the wound, and it looked like it had healed for days.

Livia finally breathed a sigh of relief after re-corking the bottle.She seemed completely calmed down, and Daniel had regained some of his energy after drinking Cindy's large pile of potions.

"Daniel, are you okay?" Old Tonya asked softly.

"Can't die, old man," Daniel said weakly but cheerfully. "I shot two Death Eaters and got a goddamn blasting curse. They lost two of them, and I was only slightly injured. It's a good deal. But my gun is useless! It makes me sad!"

"Now is not the time to discuss your guns," Lupine said in a somewhat aggressive tone. "You can't always fight wizards like Muggles!"

"Okay, Remus." Tonks wrapped his arms around Lupine's waist, shaking slightly, "It's not anyone's fault, you have to let him rest well."

"I'm sorry, brother." Lupine stroked his forehead wearily. "Tonight was too thrilling. I'm just...a little tired. I'm glad that you are all fine."

"Go up and rest, Remus." Daniel joked comfortingly, "Put me on the bed by the way!"

Lupine smiled, said good night to everyone, and together with Tonks helped Daniel up the stairs.

"Overall, today is considered lucky, at least no one died." Kingsley waved goodbye to Daniel who entered the room, stood up, and said, "I have to hurry to Downing Street, I died an hour ago It's time to go."

"I should go too," Cindy also stood up, winked at Draco, and said, "I still have to get some Galleons."

"Golden Gallon?" Ron asked strangely.

Cindy didn't answer him, but just waved her hand and walked out the door.Kingsley also bid farewell to everyone, and left in a hurry.After they left, Hagrid also went out. He wanted to send the night owl tied outside back to the jungle, and the Weasley brothers offered to give him a ride in case he encountered the remaining Death Eaters.

In the living room of the Burrow, only old Tonya, Moody, Golden Triangle, Draco, and Livia were left, and the Burrow, which had been noisy all night, became quiet.

Molly looked at the tired faces of the few people left behind, touched Ron's head beside her, and said with some pity: "You are all tired today, hurry up..."

Her words were interrupted by Harry's sudden cry of pain, and Draco turned his head in surprise, only to see Harry fall to the ground, desperately covering his forehead and closing his eyes, screaming in pain:

"No - get the hell out of my head!!!"

The author has something to say: ① Lupine's words are the original words of Mother Rowling.

②Kingsley was protecting the Muggle Prime Minister of Britain at the time, and Downing Street was his address.
