[HP] Elephant of Time

Fu Cai was born and snorted coldly.

"Hmph, what's the good of an upright Gryffindor going to this dark and dirty place?"

Do all Slytherins speak in the same way?Frustratingly, Harry thought of some hitherto unknown Potions Master, who had grown up thinking that Draco Malfoy was more like the Head of Slytherin than his father.

"...Christmas is coming soon." Harry shrugged pretending to be relaxed, "But what are you doing here? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by Oro?"

Harry knew that although he escaped the fate of being judged, some families related to Slytherin or Death Eaters have not completely escaped the sight of the Ministry of Magic. If Draco Malfoy was found appearing in Knockturn Alley, it is estimated that There will be a little trouble.

Draco rolled his eyes inwardly, very displeased with Malfoy.

——Except for this sage Potter with abnormally high magic power, who can directly ignore the disguised spell and notice who he is!

"Like you said," he said lazily, "Christmas is coming, isn't it?"

Harry blinked, and it suddenly occurred to him that this direction was not exactly the same as his own——

"So you bought a gift for Severus too?"

It just so happens that he doesn't know much about potions... Shall I ask Malfoy for a reference?

He had thought about looking for Hermione before, but Mrs. Weasley said she didn't really want to know the progress of this matter for a month after going out to dinner with him last time-of course, if Harry did go to her, she would definitely not give up Hands are ignored, but Gryffindors are good partners who think about their friends, aren't they?

Probably the expression on the lion's face was so obvious that Draco didn't even bother to put on an aristocratic gesture.

This time he rolled his eyes, literally, at the savior.

——A real lion who wants to court me, the head of Slytherin, who wants Slytherin to give you advice?Thinking too much, Harry the Savior Potter!

Yes, as early as in the small town, Malfoy could see the uneasiness and kindness of Potter.The only reason he didn't say much was that the power of the Savior and the well-known devotion of the Potter family could benefit Slytherins in no small way.

But help him?never.

While the two were thinking of their own ideas, a third voice came from the depths of Knockturn Alley.

Harry and Draco frowned at the same time, a range of camouflage spells surrounded the two of them, turning them into a background in the alley.

"I can't touch that, I can't even find it!" said an exasperated voice, which was strangely familiar to the two people in the background here.

"If you can't find it, I can replace it with someone else." Another voice said flatly, and others could discern a natural arrogance from his voice.

Neither of the two people talking was very old, especially since the latter sounded about the same age as Harry and the others, and of course "sounding" is not a very reliable thing in the wizarding world.

"No, no... please give me another chance..." The first voice became visibly anxious, "I can do it, I will definitely find the time—"

"Shut up!" Another person angrily stopped the first voice.

Harry became vigilant in his heart. Recently, whenever he hears about the time, even when he sees a clock, he will be very careful.

The owner of the second voice seemed to feel that a loud stop was not enough to appease his anger at the stupidity of the first one.A red magic light lit up in the depths of the alley, and a figure rolled out.

Harry and Draco suppressed their surprise, while the other raised their brows.

—Olstein, the potions professor at Hogwarts.

Another figure came from the darkness, the upper half of his face was covered by the drooping hat brim, only a sharp chin and slightly pale lips could be seen.He stomped haughtily on Olstein's wand and kicked it back to the man.

The nameless person bent down, and the hanging hair revealed a rare dark blue luster, which didn't seem to be formed naturally, and seemed to contain some kind of magic.His face is still covered, but from Olstein's fearful expression, it can be seen that the expression on the other's face must be terrifying, because the current Hogwarts Potions professor is almost suffocated due to oppression...

"You just have to say one word." The voice of the unnamed young man was not threatening, but also revealed a trace of joy, as if he was fully expecting that the other party would break the contract, "You will know the result."

Then the young man straightened up and Apparated away.

Olstein got up from the ground, his hands were trembling, and he failed to pick up his wand several times.

Eventually he also Apparated away.

Draco shook Harry's hand away - if the Gryffindor lion hadn't directly pressed his hand holding his wand just now, he would have given Harry a Stunning Curse.

"Don't underestimate cowards." Harry said, frowning. He would never forget Peter.

Draco stepped aside quickly, he had to admit that the Savior was right.Attacking a Hogwarts professor in Knockturn Alley has two different meanings than going to Knockturn Alley.

but……

"With the halo of the savior shrouded, Potter, no one will doubt your testimony."

"An exposed enemy is better than a new hidden stake."

Harry's serious expression is reminiscent of the golden Harry Potter he was called when he was Oro.

Not just a continuation of the golden boy, but having experienced wars and commanded battles and sieges against Death Eaters time and time again, his wisdom and courage shone like gold.

——Although I don't like this title very much.

"You seem to know something else." Draco looked at the Savior's face, the last time he saw this guy's nervous expression was when he was fighting the Death Eaters.The tension was unusual, Harry Potter was a Gryffindor at heart, with occasional Slytherins, but... that was just being clever.

Gryffindors are never afraid of new enemies, unless they threaten those around them.

There was a slight shadow in the gray-blue eyes.

Draco Malfoy was smart enough to guess from the face of the Savior who was involved.

"...what do you know about the magic of time?" Harry's sudden question stunned Draco for a moment.

Time, space, and soul, especially time and soul, probably only a family that is old enough can see a little bit of its secrets.

"I'm going to ask my dad," Draco said reluctantly.

The war made them grow up too fast, and they had to face the unknown future wholeheartedly instead of exploring the glorious past.

Harry glanced at Draco.

"I can tell you." He smiled suddenly, "but you're going to help me choose a Christmas present for Severus and make sure he's happy with it."

—Damn Potter.

Malfoy rolled his eyes again.

The author has something to say:

Eve

Harry hadn't expected the small town Christmas party to be this...indescribably wonderful.

The lively crowd wears what they think is the most suitable clothes, there are beautiful clothes, there are simple clothes, people who love fantasy and make-up, and all kinds of fancy clothes.

The small square was newly decorated, surrounded by colorful lights, red, green and green were constantly flashing, and decorations contributed by all town residents were placed in unexpected corners, and the branches of holly trees were one after another. The little golden bulbs shone brightly, as if the green trees were tied with beautiful stars.

The light of Muggle technology reflects the smiles on people's faces, turning the town into a town that never sleeps.

It was obviously just a Muggle party, but it reminded Harry of a big Hogwarts dinner.

Hundreds of candles floated in the air, and the noise and joy were not forbidden at that moment. The students and teachers of the magic school were talking and joking with their friends, and occasionally they could see the boundless starry sky when they looked up.

– although most big holiday dinners basically mean "something's going to happen" because of Voldemort, so he never gets to get into the festive spirit.

As for Voldemort's death...

Before going into seclusion, every Christmas savior attended various dinner parties as a golden sign.

After living in seclusion, even the Weasley family couldn't find a savior who stayed behind closed doors.

He misses it so much now.

However, Severus was right, some things, if they cannot pass, they cannot pass, and if they pass, they are past.

At least he still has such a big party to attend.

This grand gathering of people was the first Christmas party that Harry could really enjoy to the fullest.

The only thing missing is his goal tonight.

"Hey, Harry!" Kyle jumped over with his little friend Tom and his sister. He glanced at Harry, as if he was eager to share something with his friend, then stopped abruptly, and blinked into anticipation. Gaze, "Well, when I went to find you today, Mr. Kars said that you went to buy a gift-did you bring me a gift?"

"Of course." Harry took out the candy in his pocket and distributed it to the cheering children. This was not an official Christmas present.

Harry didn't know it was a gift-exchange until an hour before it started, and there was no way for him to make sure the presents got to Severus other than cheating with magic.

Regarding the abnormality in Kyle's words and deeds, Harry suddenly thought of what Severus had said about the undisclosed suggestion magic of the Hogwarts notice.

——Does it imply that magic depends on the other party's cognition rather than facts?So since Kyle didn't know Harry was a wizard he couldn't tell Harry about the wizarding world?But he clearly told Harry about taking the letter?

Gryffindor thought about it and decided to take the question
