"Dobby belongs to your family, right?"

"Yes. But I didn't let him play tricks on Harry Potter like that."

"Well, if you did it, you'd let the whole of Slytherin know about your feat, and you'd probably prefer to take on him yourself."

"I have no need to deal with him!"

"I believe you."

After the two had whispered in the common room, they suddenly fell silent.

"You're not afraid..." Draco said slowly, but his eyes flickered quickly, "I'm the one who planned everything? Maybe I'm planning some bigger conspiracy! Or it's not me, but me and that The planner has a lot of connections, and then tell him what you did?"

Seeing that Rong Jiu didn't speak, Draco continued: "Ha, you should have heard that the Malfoy family used to be the backbone of 'that person'! Isn't your guess related to this?"

There was another half hour of silence.The fire in the fireplace has dimmed a little, and it seems to be struggling for the last time.

It took a long time for Rong Jiu to speak slowly. The firelight reflected on her face, and she had a deep and indifferent look: "Don't be afraid. These have nothing to do with me."

Draco seemed to hear something interesting: "You seem to be very protective of those three stupid lions!"

"Yes, we are friends." A trance flashed across Rong Jiu's face.She gently held her hand, and unfolded it again.Under the firelight, those hands looked slender and powerful, with well-defined joints.Except for the size, it doesn't look like a girl's hand at all.

She raised the corner of her lips slightly: "But, it won't be you. You won't."

"Why?" Draco raised an eyebrow.

Rong Jiu laughed: "Because your eyes are beautiful."

Although he always pretends to be gloomy, showing off and provoking childishly, the things in those eyes are clear at a glance, like a pool of clear and shallow spring water, nothing can be hidden.Unlike Professor Snape's eyes, like the deepest ancient well, no light can shine in.

Rong Jiu became a little dazed again.

Whenever I see myself in the mirror, my eyes are always foggy.

It turns out that my clarity has long been exhausted, in a dark, lightless childhood.She understood the fear and disgust in other people's eyes very early on. She had been dealing with all kinds of ghosts and monsters very early on. They all feel clearly.

So, she gradually learned how to please those who can please: such as teachers.She is well-behaved and lively in front of the teachers, she is a standard perfect student; she also learned how to annoy those who cannot be flattered: such as those classmates who call her a monster, and consciously express these in In front of the teacher.But when the teacher asked about her, she had a magnanimous look.

Children are born schemers.

But no one is stupider than anyone else, even if those children can't see Rong Jiu's calculations, they can still feel that this person is not easy to mess with, so in the following time, she was actually isolated.No one messed with her, but no one paid attention to her.

So she has no friends.

Wait till you get here.The first person she meets, Harry Potter.On the train, she saw Harry's crampedness and loneliness almost at first glance. Maybe he had the same childhood as hers, which gave her a sense of intimacy out of thin air, so she defined Harry as "a person who can please". .It can be said that Harry has a different meaning to her, and she is always more kind to Harry.

Later, she met Draco at her academy.Only then did she truly realize that she had come to a similar environment, where everyone was a monster in the eyes of outsiders.And this little monster classmate, although he looks arrogant and proud, he obviously accepted her and defined her as his own kind.This was the first time she met someone who showed kindness to her, and Draco was a bit out of place wherever he was placed. He almost lived in his own world and didn't care what others thought.So in her heart, Draco even had a sense of relatives.

From then on, she slowly began to define the word "friend".She even used her own understanding to tell Draco what a friend is.Both of them were friendless people, and although the process of causing this was quite different, this did not prevent them from having a little sympathy for each other.

Still later, she ran into a crying Hermione in the bathroom.Learning well, being unpopular, and being targeted are almost the copy templates of her childhood.And later, Hermione's generosity, caring and kindness gave her a big shock.This girl had a similar experience to hers, but she never gave up and got up: You don't like me, but I will make you like me.

This almost opened the door to a new world for Rong Jiu.It turns out that I can still fight back and conquer in this way!

So the girl worked hard to get close to Hermione, eager to learn from Hermione her attitude and methods towards friends.

And along the way, she certainly changed a lot.For example, she no longer faces many things indifferently, but participates more like a child; she starts to actively spread goodwill to the people around her, instead of waiting for someone to give her kindness before she approaches them.

But she is still selfish and indifferent in her bones after all.

Rong Jiu thought bitterly, she regards Harry and Hermione as friends, but she hides a lot from them, even these potential risks have never been told to them.Sure, it's a sign of Draco's importance, but what if she's a Gryffindor now?What would she do if the people she spent day and night with were Harry and Hermione?

Would she tell Harry and Hermione that Dobby was a Malfoy elf, and that even if she believed it had nothing to do with Draco, she should be wary of him?

"What's the answer?" Draco's voice pulled Rong Jiu back from his emotions.

Rong Jiu shook his head and changed the subject: "In short, I just believe in you."

"Hey, what's wrong with you? It looks like you're not in the right mood." Draco had a rare sharp look, "Your face suddenly turned so bad!"

"Really?" Rong Jiu touched his face subconsciously, then smiled helplessly, "It's okay."

Draco looked at her steadily: "You look... a little sad? Why? Because you chose me between them and me?"

Rong Jiu sighed: "It's not because of this sadness... well, I just think it's a bit despicable." When she met Draco's eyes, she couldn't make any excuses.

"How?" Draco looked puzzled, "Are you stupid? First of all, we belong to the same academy; secondly, I am the one who hangs out with you in the library every day to find information, play wizard chess, and chat and eat! It’s okay if you insist on having friends like them, after all, this is a multiple-choice question; but it’s okay if you choose me between them and me, this is a multiple-choice question, and you naturally have to choose the right one for you. Good option!"

"Don't you think this... is very utilitarian?" Rong Jiu asked tentatively.

Draco sank deeper into the sofa impatiently: "Isn't it natural to choose the direction that is most beneficial to you?"

"Really..." Rong Jiu turned his head thoughtfully, "Then if one day I have to choose between you and other things, but the most beneficial thing is not to choose you, what do you think?"

"I will always be the best choice." Draco raised his chin high, showing a confident and proud smile, "There will not be a better option than me!"

"But what if?" Rong Jiu asked.

"No ifs." Draco replied firmly, "Slytherins always seek power!"

"If you are strong enough, then you don't have so many scruples." Rong Jiu said suddenly, "So, Slytherin who pursues strength is always the best choice."

"But this time you don't have to choose." Draco returned to his lazy look, "It's so funny, my elf came to warn Harry Potter, but I didn't know about it! Whether it's Dobby Betrayal, or everything that is about to happen. I decided to work with those stupid kids for a while until I figured out what it was all about."
