[HP] Father?dad!

……

☆、Medical Wing

Waking up again, Draco felt the pain in his body eased a little.Pursing his parched lips, Draco's eyes were blank and his expression was dazed.Until now, he still doesn't understand why he went crazy and why he reached out to grab that damn Potter!Draco

All he knew was that an indescribable fear gripped his heart the moment he watched Potter fall from his face!This is his classmate, not some wooden chair!Is he going to watch the news of a life in front of his eyes? !The corner of the clothes brushed against the tip of Draco's nose, and Draco reached out and grabbed Potter before he had time to think about it.

Holding Potter tightly with his left hand, Draco gritted his teeth quite a bit.The surrounding coldness kept invading Draco's mind. In a trance, Draco saw the golden snitch spinning around Potter's cheek... Before he had time to think, Draco stretched out his right hand, and then, he said nothing. I no longer know……

Recalling the previous experience, Draco's expression became distorted, his hands gripped the quilt tightly, and Draco bit the corner of the quilt mournfully.It must be the damn dementor that affected his sanity!Otherwise, how could I do such a mindless thing like a Gryffindor!Dad will be very disappointed this time!I simply failed the expectations of the Malfoy family!For a Malfoy, family, family is the most important thing!No matter what time, you should not put yourself in a dangerous situation!

Feeling thirsty, Draco sat up and looked around for some water to drink.A large transparent glass filled with water was lying quietly on the bedside table on the left side of the hospital bed.Draco reached out and took the glass.The water was cast with a warming spell, and it tasted lukewarm.

Draco drank more than half a glass of water with a 'gudong gudong', and Draco felt that his thirst was relieved a lot.Putting down the glass, Draco lay down and curled up under the covers again.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Harry on the other end heard Draco drinking water and woke up.Listening to the movement on the other end with complicated eyes, Harry remained silent.He didn't expect that Malfoy also had such a reckless and wanton side; just like he didn't expect that Malfoy, who hated him so much, would actually save him in that situation.

Before, when he heard Neil say good things about Malfoy, he didn't take it seriously.Now that I think about it, could it be that he never knew Malfoy? !A person who can disregard his own safety just to help people he hates cannot be a bad person.

Recalling the first time I met Malfoy, I just entered the magic world and didn't understand anything.I still remember that I met Malfoy for the first time at Madam Malkin's.Seeing Malfoy's superior look, and hearing Malfoy speaking words he didn't understand in a natural tone, Harry felt like a fool.Finally, Malfoy judged Hagrid in a critical tone, and his dissatisfaction with him reached its peak.In his opinion, that boy was spoiled by his parents just like his cousin, and he was just as annoying.

The second time I saw Malfoy was on the Hogwarts Express.Malfoy acted like an arrogant little prince, mocking Ron's family wantonly.Although it was wrong for Ron to laugh when he heard Malfoy's name, at least he didn't mock him as sharply as Malfoy.That time, he formally rejected Malfoy's friendship.I don't know if it was because he hated himself for rejecting him and hurt his self-esteem. Since then, Malfoy has officially opposed the three of them.

Perhaps it was because of a different mood, now Harry, recalling the past, began to feel that Draco was not as bad as he imagined.At that time, I had just entered the magic world and was very sensitive to everything.Thinking back now, the first time we met, Malfoy just struck up a conversation, but because I couldn't understand what he said, I felt offended, so I decisively equated Malfoy with Dudley.Although he doesn't agree with Malfoy's evaluation of Hagrid now, he also has to admit that Hagrid is indeed a little careless sometimes.

The second meeting with Malfoy, Harry couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong. It was wrong for Ron to snicker, but Malfoy's malicious evaluation of Ron was even more wrong.However, Harry, who has been at Hogwarts for two years, now knows that the Weasley family and the Malfoy family have always been feuds, and it has always been their tradition to pinch each other when they meet, and it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong.It can only be said that I stood by Ron's side under the circumstances.A person as sensitive as Malfoy, after that, naturally he will no longer have a good face towards himself.

In any case, what happened this time fully showed that Malfoy was absolutely not as he thought before, and had no merits at all.Maybe he is too sensitive, too awkward, and has many other shortcomings.However, his heart is not bad.This alone can prove that Malfoy is worthy of being a friend.

Moreover, the relationship between Neal and Malfoy is also very close.If I can become friends with Malfoy, Neil must be very happy!

Early the next morning, Draco woke up to find that Potter next door had already woken up.Since the two were required by Madam Pomfrey to stay in the medical wing for the weekend, they had to get along day and night these days.

Draco was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, but there was nothing he could do.Ignoring Harry on the other side, Draco got off the bed straight away, turned and walked into the bathroom.

After tidying up, Draco walked back to the bed refreshed.

"Good morning, Draco!" Waiting for Draco to come out of the bathroom, Harry patted his face and showed a bright smile.

Unprepared, Draco showed a terrified expression, looking at Harry as if he was looking at you like a monster. "Please call me Malfoy, thank you." The implication was that he didn't know him that well.

"Okay." Harry didn't mind either, and he didn't expect Draco to accept him right away. "You can call me Harry, Draco—" Seeing Draco's staring gaze, Harry raised his hand in surrender, "Okay, Malfoy."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Draco sat back on the bed.Picking up the milk on the bedside table, Draco ignored Harry and sipped it in small sips.

I don't know why, seeing Draco's pretending at the moment, and thinking about last night, Harry felt very happy.Clearing his throat, Harry looked at Draco sincerely. "Anyway, thank you very much for yesterday. Thank you for saving me."

He really wanted to pretend he didn't hear Harry's thanks, you know, he hadn't forgiven him for the first year.No one can take Malfoy's face off!But Draco knew he couldn't do that.The things in the Muggle world let him know that he has no capital at all, and he can do whatever he wants in this world.Thinking of his father's advice to him when he was in Borgin-Bock in the second grade, Draco felt a little sorry.Maybe he should listen to his father and have a good relationship with the savior.

"It's okay." Draco's voice was harsh.After this, the medical wing fell into an awkward silence.

At this moment, a clear voice broke the stiffness.

"Harry, Brother Draco." It was Neil.

"Why are you here so early?" Draco asked a little strangely.It's only seven o'clock now, if he hadn't gone to bed so early yesterday, he wouldn't have gotten up so early today.

"Neil." Harry was not surprised by this, he knew that Neil got up very early every day.

"I just stopped by to see you." Neil deftly ignored Draco's question.

"Have you had breakfast?" Harry beckoned Neil to sit down, "If not, eat some of my bread, I have a lot here."

"I've eaten." Already full in the auditorium, Neil rejected Harry's offer. "Brother Draco, are you feeling better?" Turning his head, Neil looked at Draco with concern.

"It's much better." Draco's ears turned slightly red. "It's nothing." Draco hastily added, not wanting Neil to think of himself as sick and delicate.

"That's good." Seeing that Draco was well and hearing Draco's answer, Neil felt relieved after thinking about it all night. "What about you, Harry?"

"I'm not good." In front of Neil, Harry took the opportunity to act coquettishly.

"What's wrong?" Neil was a little puzzled and worried.

"It's all Malfoy, he doesn't want me to call his name." Harry's cheeks were puffed up, and his voice was a little husky.

Draco froze while holding the milk glass.He widened his eyes in disbelief, and looked directly at Potter, who was playing tricks.How could he be so unwilling to face? !It's simply too beautiful, low, and limitless!

Neil rubbed his forehead with a headache.Harry, this guy, likes to play tricks as soon as he is around.In any case, it is also a good thing that Harry is willing to take the initiative to ease the relationship with Draco.Since Harry took the initiative to take the first step and asked himself for help, how could he help him.

"Brother Draco—" Neil dragged out his tone, looking at Draco in embarrassment.

Swallowing the milk in his mouth with difficulty, seeing the request in Neil's eyes and Harry's aggrieved and persistent expression, Draco completely surrendered. "Call it what you like." After he finished speaking in a compromise, Draco picked up a bread discreetly, trying to divert his attention.

"Draco!" Harry's eyes sparkled when he heard Draco agree.Draco is much more coquettish than he imagined!Thinking of this in his heart, Harry smiled brightly.

Hearing Harry's exaggerated shout, Draco's ears turned rosy.Finally, Draco couldn't hold back his emotions, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly...

☆、Marauder's map

Since then, the relationship between the Gryffindor trio and the Slytherin group headed by Draco has eased, and now in the classroom, the two do not pinch each other as easily as they did in the previous two years .

In a blink of an eye, it was the last week of term, the day to go to Hogsmeade.Knowing that Harry couldn't go there, he was in a bad mood, so Neil made a special effort to clear the sky and prepare to accompany Harry.

When he came to the old place, Neil was surprised to find that Harry, who had always arrived earlier than him, was still missing.Frowning, Neil walked to the edge of the Black Lake, prepared to do some exercise, and waited for Harry by the way.

Walking to the edge of the lake and turning his head slightly, Neil was not surprised to find that Bruno was there at this time.

Sirius was shaking with excitement.Ever since he knew that Neil was his son, for so many days, he insisted on wandering around the Black Lake and the Forbidden Forest every day, wanting to see him again.However, it was unknown whether Neil stopped coming out because of the colder weather or because of bad luck, but Sirius hadn't touched his son once for nearly two months.

For so many days and nights, Sirius almost couldn't restrain his thoughts, and rushed to the Slytherin cellar to look for Neil.If it wasn't for the remaining rationality telling him that if he did this, not only would he not be able to see his beloved Neil, he would even be caught by Slytherin and handed over to the dementors, and he would never be able to get along well with Neil again. , There is no chance to make up for his beloved son, perhaps, he has already rushed to Slytherin desperately.

How worried he was, worried that his son, such a simple and lovely Neil, would not be able to survive in Slytherin, a place where people can't spit out bones.Until now, he still hasn't figured out how his kind and brave Neil got into Slytherin.Obviously he named him 'Courage', right? !

But anyway, Sirius told himself, even if Neil was a Slytherin, he was still his son.His love for him will not be obliterated by any external appearance!

Neil tilted his head, ignored Bruno, and started exercising on his own.Bruno carefully squatted aside, not daring to move, for fear of disturbing his beloved little Neil.

After conscientiously stretching his muscles and bones, Neil took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the turbid air in his heart.Looking in the direction of the castle, but still did not see Harry's figure, Neil, who had nothing to do, waved at Bruno casually.

Seeing Neil calling him, Sirius immediately stood up, wagging his tail happily, and ran over with his feet scattered.Running to Neil's side, Sirius couldn't help hugging Neil's legs, rubbing his big head between his legs.

Seeing Bruno rushing over, Neil was slightly startled, and his expression remained calm.He clenched his wand slightly with his right hand, already knowing that Bruno would not attack him, but years of vigilance prevented Neil from completely letting go of his defenses.

Sure enough, Bruno just hugged his leg coquettishly.Feeling the temperature between his legs, Neil's heart also became fluffy.Stretching out his hand tentatively, Neil stroked Bruno's head.

Sensing the warmth from the top of his head, Sirius obediently let Neil caress and touch him, and even rubbed his fluffy dog's head along Neil's hand.Feeling Bruno's love and caress for him, Neil chuckled softly.He began to like the big dog gradually.

"Neil!" Harry's voice came from afar.Neil rolled his eyes.Really Harry!Always so reckless!

"Neil!" Harry panted a little as he approached, "Let me tell you, I got something very interesting." Saying this, Harry took out a piece of parchment from his pocket.

Sirius, who was also curiously holding his head up, saw the thing in Harry's hand, his eyes fixed.Not caring much, Sirius let go of Neil's leg in a panic, and ran away.

"What's wrong with Bruno? Why did he run away suddenly?" Harry looked puzzled, and the movement of his hands also stopped.

Seeing Bruno's disappearing figure, Neil's eyes were slightly puzzled. "I don't know either." Shaking his head, Neil looked away, "What did you want to say just now?"

"Forget it, I'll take you there to talk about it." Harry's emotions are still in a period of excitement.Regardless of explaining a lot, Harry stuffed the parchment into his pocket, dragged Neil's hand and ran away.

After taking a shortcut and rushing back to the Forbidden Forest, Sirius slowed down.How did Harry find the Marauder's Map? !Sirius was very puzzled by this.Not knowing whether Harry and the others moved fast enough, whether they saw their own figure, Sirius paced up and down anxiously, not knowing what to do.In the end, although he was very reluctant, Sirius made up his mind to leave Hogwarts for a few days to avoid the limelight.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Pulling Neil to the statue of the one-eyed witch, Harry stopped.

"Why...run so fast..." Neil was furious, fortunately it was winter!Going to Hogsmeade, going to Hogsmeade, nerdy lounge, nerdy lounge, basically no one on the road!Otherwise, if other people saw him messing around with the savior in such a big way, he wouldn't have survived in Slytherin! ! "What if I meet someone?!"

"Yes...I'm sorry..." Harry finally realized his recklessness, "I was just too excited for a while..." Lowering his head, Harry was slightly disappointed.He knew that he made it difficult for Neil again, but he really didn't like the feeling of keeping a low profile as much as possible, making it look like he was sneaking around.He and Draco were able to coexist peacefully now, couldn't they?Why do you have to avoid this and that when you are with Neil? !

Seeing Harry's unwillingness and doubts, Neil sighed softly.Looking directly into Harry's eyes, Neil looked a bit distressed: "In Slytherin, the rules are made by the strong." Neil stopped.

"I'm sorry." Harry realized that Neil's situation in Slytherin was different from Draco's, and Harry felt a little guilty. "I'll definitely pay attention in the future." Harry apologized a lot more sincerely this time.He really thought too little about Neil, he never really thought about whether Neil's life in Slytherin was good or not.Thinking of this, Harry felt extremely annoyed.

Not wanting Harry to think too much, Neil changed the subject. "Didn't you say you wanted to show me something?" In fact, Neil didn't tell Harry that his magic power has recovered a lot now, but in class, he still restrained his performance appropriately, allowing himself to barely To the extent that it does not hold back, try to be as unobtrusive as possible.The other people ignored him, but in fact, it didn't have much influence on him.Now, his magic power has not fully recovered.If he rashly exposes his strength and surpasses others a little bit, it may arouse the jealousy of the surpassed classmates, and it will not be worth the loss if he is targeted at that time.It's better to accumulate strength secretly, and then establish your own position in one fell swoop when the magic power is fully restored. At that time, because there are many surpassed people, it is not easy to cause individual rebound.

"Oh, that's right." Only then did Harry remember why he had brought Neil here.Taking out a tattered piece of parchment from his pocket, Harry took out his wand and tapped on the parchment, "I solemnly swear that I have done nothing wrong."

The spider web-like lines spread rapidly, spreading to every corner of the parchment.A few lines of completely green characters appeared above the parchment:

Auxiliary Supplies for Authors of Magical Mischief

Moonface, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs, gentlemen

proudly present

Marauder's Map

"What is this?" Neil looked serious, "Is this a map of Hogwarts?" All the details of Hogwarts were drawn on the map in detail.To Neil's surprise, a person's name was marked on many small dots on the map-this map not only marked the route of Hogwarts, but also marked the location of the people in Hogwarts.

"Who gave this to you?" Neil's expression was full of admiration.Whoever made this map is simply too talented!Looking at the small black dots on the map, and thinking of Bruno's abnormal reaction just now, Neil's heart skipped a beat.Could it be that Bruno knew the map? !Why did you run away in panic if you didn't dye it? !But how could a dog know a map? !Unless he—is a person? !

Thinking of this, Neil's eyelids twitched heavily.

"Fred and George are the twins of the Weasley family." Harry's voice interrupted Neil's train of thought.Harry happily pointed at the map, "Look, these are all secret passages. They all lead to Hogsmeade!" He pointed to a corner of the map, "Look, the entrance to this secret passage is This witch statue in front of me!" Harry blushed and was extremely excited, "What do you think, how about the two of us sneaking off to Hogsmeade?"

Seeing Harry's pleading eyes, Neil hesitated.He is not willing to take risks until he is not sure about the safety of this thing.However, he was unwilling to disappoint Harry, who had been looking forward to it for a long time.

"Don't worry, Neil." Harry was still persuading Neil, "Fred and George have been using it for two years, and they assured me that there will be no problems with this map."

After hearing Harry's words, Neil nodded reluctantly, agreeing to Harry's proposal.

"Great!" Harry exclaimed.Looking at the map and making sure that there is no one on the left or right, Harry stretched out his wand and tapped the stone witch: "It's a dilemma!"

The statue's hunched back silently opened a hole large enough for Harry and Neil to pass alone.Harry stepped into the hole first, and following Harry's footsteps, Neil also entered the hole.

It was very gloomy and cold in the tunnel. Fortunately, Neil and Harry had made an appointment to meet outside today. Both of them were wearing thick cloaks and dragon leather boots, otherwise they would definitely have cold hands and feet.After walking up the dark steps for about an hour, Neil and Harry finally saw the end.After climbing several hundred more steps, Harry and Neil, who were a little tired, saw a floor door——

In the darkness, Harry and Neil looked at each other excitedly.We're almost at Hogward at last!

☆、Hogsmeade

After buying a large pile of candy, Harry and Neil slipped out of Honeydukes contentedly.

"Where are you going now?" Shi Shiran stepped on the snow, Harry looked around curiously, his face full of surprise.It's almost Christmas, and Hogsmeade looks to be in a festive spirit.Wreaths of holly were adorned at every door and every house on both sides of the street, and clusters of enchanted candles and decorations hung from the trees. "Would you like to visit Zuko?" Harry raised his hand and pointed to a shop not far away.

Neil nodded irresponsibly.The two creaked and strode forward.

There were snowflakes floating in the sky, and the cold wind was blowing, hitting the face with pain.The air is really too cold. If you take a breath of mist, there will be a "sizzling" sound in the air immediately, and strings of water vapor will rise up.

"Hurry up and hide." As soon as he walked to Zuko's door, Neil saw a very familiar person walking out of a shop not far away——Professor McGonagall!Grabbing Harry's hand, Neil flashed and strode into the side alley.

"What's wrong?" Harry, who didn't know why, was at a loss.

"Shh! Professor McGonagall!" Neil turned his head and gestured at Harry, then turned his head again, carefully watching the movements of Professor McGonagall and his group.

What?Harry was also taken aback, and quickly leaned against the wall, covered his mouth with his hands, and kept silent.

Fortunately, Professor McGonagall and his party gradually walked away in another direction. When they could no longer see Professor McGonagall and his party, Neil let out a long sigh of relief and turned around.

'They're gone? Unsure of the situation, Harry made exaggerated mouth movements.

Neil nodded.

"I was scared to death, how could I meet Professor McGonagall!" Harry dared to speak out.Patting his chest, Harry put on a look of lingering fear.

"It's not bad, they went in another direction." Feeling a little cold, Neil lifted up the scarf.The cold wind in winter was very stinging. Even though he was wearing a thick cloak and a big scarf, Neil, who had been outside for a long time, gradually began to feel unbearable.

"Look, isn't that Ron and Hermione?" The two walked out from the alley, and saw two familiar figures coming out of the shop.

"It should be." Neil replied conservatively.After all, he wasn't as familiar with those two as Harry. Although he thought it was probably true based on their figures, what if he misidentified them?

"Go and say hello to them." Harry showed a smirk, took Neil's hand, and walked forward with great interest.

"Ha!" Harry yelled mischievously, patting Ron on the shoulder.

"Who?!" Ron was startled and turned around.

"Ha... Harry, why are you... here?" Neil was surprised that, seeing the two of them, instead of being surprised, Ron showed a guilty expression.

"Harry, how did you get here?!" Hermione turned around, her voice sharp.Her face was covered by the scarf, but her voice sounded slightly weird. "And you, Neil! You're not old enough to come here!"

Harry looked up, looking at the name of the store - The Three Broomsticks Inn. "Can you go in with us first and then sit down? Go in and talk to you slowly. Neil and I are going to freeze." Harry shuddered as he said.

Ron and Hermione looked at each other strangely and nodded.

Pushing open the door of the Three Broomsticks, a gust of warm wind came oncoming.Hermione was already familiar with this place, and led Harry and Neal straight to the most secluded seat.Ron went to the bar to get a drink.

The three of them walked to the four-seater seat in the far corner, which was tightly surrounded by two big Christmas trees. The first-time guests would not find a seat here unless they looked carefully.

The three of them sat down separately. It was much hotter inside the store than outside, and all three of them took off the scarves around their necks.

Ron came over with four glasses of beer.After chopping the beer on the table, Ron pointed to the woman at the bar, "That's Ms. Rosmerta." While talking, Ron sat down beside Hermione and took off the scarf around his neck. "This is butter beer. It tastes good. Try it."

Harry was almost frozen, and he couldn't wait to pick up the butter beer and took a big sip.

"What's the matter with you? Are you looking so bad?" Neil didn't move.His senses were very keen. From the very beginning, he had already vaguely felt that something was wrong with Ron and Hermione. However, since the expressions of Ron and Hermione were covered, he couldn't tell the difference.Now that he entered the store, Neil felt it was even more obvious when he saw the expressions of the two without any cover.

Neither Ron nor Hermione were good at hiding their emotions. Hearing Neal's question, Ron and Hermione looked at each other.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Ron and Hermione's guilty looks, Harry also sensed something was wrong.Putting down the butterbeer in his hand, Harry was a little confused.

"That... I said, Harry, don't worry." Ron was the first to surrender.

"Ron!" Hermione looked at Ron warningly, trying to stop him.

"Hermione, forget it." Ron smiled wryly, "I didn't approve of keeping this matter from Harry, but now they bumped into it, maybe it's God's will."

After hearing Ron's words, Hermione let out a long sigh, stopped speaking, and acquiesced to Ron's actions.

"It's like this, Harry." Ron scratched his head nervously, trying to think of words, "Just now, in this shop, Hermione and I met Hagrid, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick and others. There is Minister Fudge, and from their conversation, we both know something." At this point, Ron paused.

Neil picked up the hot butterbeer in front of him and took a sip.After being outside for so long, Neil really couldn't stand the cold.

Harry was still looking at Ron inexplicably. "Then?"

"Then, we heard them say that... Black... Black escaped to catch you." Ron stammered.

"Didn't we already know this? I told you when school started." Harry turned his puzzled eyes from Ron to Hermione.

"Let me tell." Hermione sat up straight with a serious expression. "Harry, you have to stay calm." Looking directly at Harry, Hermione's eyes were pleading.

It wasn't until Harry nodded that Hermione continued: "Blake was good friends with your father when he was young. Back then, your parents were hunted down by Voldemort. Dumbledore told your parents the news, and they decided to hide. There is a kind of demon The curse, called the Fidelity Curse, can hide people. As long as you choose a secret keeper, as long as the secret keeper refuses to speak, no one else will know where your parents are. Even if Voldemort is in front of your house, it is impossible to find you. Your parents chose Blake to be the secret keeper. However, he betrayed your father and sold your father's news to Voldemort..."

As Hermione narrated, Harry's face gradually turned pale, and Hermione's narration continued.

"...Your father also has a good friend named Peter Pedilu. After the accident, he wanted to go to Black to settle the score, but he was blown to pieces by Black. According to Fudge, in Azkaban Blake still seemed very calm and organized. He also asked him for a newspaper, saying he wanted to do the crossword puzzle on it. And there were dementors at his door day and night, and he didn’t think much of it. Affected……"

...a long silence.

Following Hermione's narration, Neil put down the cup in his hand, his face became serious.Turning his head slightly, Neil looked worriedly at Harry who was trembling slightly.

Blake - during this time, this person's name has been mentioned too frequently... Thinking of this, Neil narrowed his eyes, something he had overlooked...

Harry lowered his head without saying a word, and no one else could see his expression.

"Harry, are you okay?" Ron looked at Harry with a sad face, and asked with concern.

Suddenly, Harry raised his head and rushed out without a sound.

"Harry!" Hermione stood up anxiously, trying to chase him out.

"Let me go." Neil got up, "Just go back with him." His head was also in a mess at the moment, and he was a little overwhelmed by the amount of information at this moment.For some reason, he subconsciously felt that there were big loopholes in Hermione's words, but Neil couldn't tell where the loopholes were for a while.

Seeing Neil's disappearing figure, Hermione wanted to chase after him, but Ron held him back.

"Let Neil go first." Ron said in a low voice, "Now that Harry is emotionally unstable, the two of them can just go back together. We can talk to him slowly after we return to Gryffindor Tower.

Hermione nodded sadly and sat down again.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Harry! Harry!" Harry lowered his head and strode forward, while Neil chased after him, calling repeatedly.Stepping on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Neil gritted his teeth and struggled to chase the person in front of him.

Finally, Harry stopped.Turning around, Harry's eyes were red and confused like a helpless child.

Neil let out a sigh of relief, quickly took a few steps to catch up with Harry, and grabbed Harry's arm.

"Neil, why did you say..." Harry murmured, his expression very bad. "Blake and Dad have such a good relationship, how did he manage to..."

Neil stared at Harry sadly, speechless.His mind is also very chaotic now, the pieces seem to want to be put together, but there is a crucial piece missing, and he can't put them together no matter what...

"Harry, let's go back first..." Clouds of mist drifted away in the air, "We'll talk when we go back."

Nodding silently, Harry is now in a mess.

Seeing Harry's wandering gaze, Neil sighed silently.Pulling up the hood for Harry, tidying up the cloak, holding Harry's hand, bathed in the wind and snow, Neil took Harry on the difficult road back to the castle...

☆、No. 19 Spider's End Lane

Harry's mood was very unstable, and he didn't say a word all the way.Knowing that Harry was in a bad mood right now, Neil was considerate and didn't say much.

After shuttling through the tunnel for more than an hour, Harry and Neil finally returned to Hogwarts.Turning from the one-eyed witch statue, Neil took the hood off Harry's head.

"How about we find a place to sit?" Neil asked tentatively, worried about Harry's mood.

Harry shook his head, his voice hoarse. "I'm tired, I want to go back and rest first."

"Okay." Neil understood that Harry was in a mess and needed a space to be alone, so he didn't force him. "I'm going back with my father soon. You have to take care of yourself during this time." Seeing Harry's absent-minded look, Neil was worried. He really wanted to stay with Harry at this special time, but he had already Told by Severus to be home this Christmas.He didn't dare to ask his father to stay in school temporarily because of Harry. You know, his father had a very bad impression of Harry. If it was because of this reason that his father made things harder for Harry, it would be his fault...

"Okay." Harry didn't hear what Neil said at all, so he nodded like a ghost.Without saying hello to Neil, Harry walked away with a dazed look.

Looking sadly at the back of Harry leaving, after hesitating for a while, Neil didn't catch up to see him off after all, turned hard, turned and left...
