Christmas is just around the corner. www.biquge.info One morning in mid-December, Hogwarts School woke up to a dream covered in several feet of snow and the lake covered in hard ice. The Weasley twins were punished for enchanting several snowballs and causing them to chase Quirrell around and smash them behind his turban. Malfoy was somewhat shocked when he heard the news, in a sense, it was a slap in the face to Voldemort.

"No wonder the last of these two brothers is missing an ear, and one hangs up directly, it's not fun to offend the big demon king directly. Of course, this was just Malfoy's joking idea, but in fact, in Voldemort's eyes, those who did not submit to him should naturally meet death, or that included those who hindered his goal. Professor Snape is a good example, not because his undercover identity was revealed, but just because he changed the ownership of the Elder Wand, Voldemort was able to strangle a capable general, at least on the surface.

Thinking about it, Malfoy looked up at the window.

Several owls flew through the snowy skies to deliver their mail, and they had to regain their strength under Hagrid's care before they could continue to take off. Christmas is approaching, and the owl is busy, and there are so many letters of greeting.

Malfoy also receives a letter from home asking Narcissa to let him go home for Christmas.

Malfoy actually found the school's book collection more tempting than going home.

"But let's go back, there's another place we have to go. Malfoy thought of a plan he had already made.

Fingers swiped over the pages, and Malfoy, sitting in a corner, flipped through an old book, the yellowed paper giving the illusion that it would turn to powder at the slightest touch.

"The forbidden book section is not only black magic, but also black history. He gently closed the book, the gilded title on the cover of the book had long since peeled off, and a few large words could be faintly seen: "The History of the Dark Arts You Don't Know"

While silently digesting the huge amount of information in the book, Malfoy suddenly heard the voice of a middle-aged woman: "What are you looking for, child?" This is the voice of Mrs. Pince, who manages the forbidden book area.

"Nothing," it was a boy's voice.

Through the gap between the bookshelves, Malfoy saw Harry, who was looking around, now being questioned by Mrs. Pince.

"Then you'd better get out. Let's go—get out," Mrs. Pince ordered.

Harry glanced helplessly through the cracks in the shelves, and he saw Malfoy. However, it is clear that one of the two has a license and the other does not have a license, and the treatment is completely different.

Harry hated himself for not being clever and making up a lie, such as coming to find his classmates and so on, but soon realized that he didn't have a good relationship with Malfoy, and if it was revealed, he might have to deduct points from the house.

Harry walked out of the library in a cranky thought, expecting Ron or Hermione to find some new clues, but not expecting too much.

It all started after the Quidditch match, when Hermione said that she saw Snape chanting a curse on Harry's broomstick, and Harry himself said that he saw Snape's leg wounded, and then contacted Hagrid's three-headed dog, and they deduced that Snape had bad intentions towards Harry and seemed to be stealing something important, so he was bitten.

Add SH Ge said that he leaked his mouth a few times. They learned that these things were related to a man named Nicol Lemay.

But it seems that all the clues end there.

In the Gryffindor common room, Hermione buried her head on the dining table, and Ron was bored fiddling with his old wizarding chess, apparently still with nothing.

"I was kicked out by Mrs. Pince. Harry said dejectedly.

"I suspect he's probably a Muggle at all. Hermione let out a feeble moan, "Otherwise, how could I not have found him anywhere." ”

"He's not in The Great Wizards of the Twentieth Century, or in the Directory of Famous Magicians of Our Time. In addition, his name is not found in "The Great Discoveries of Modern Magic" and "Research on the Development of Modern Witchcraft". Hermione held out her fingers and counted the information she had checked.

"I'm driving him crazy. Hermione scratched at her unkempt hair and made a look of chagrin.

"I think Mrs. Pince must know. Harry answered.

"But we can't ask. Ron interjected into the conversation. "If we asked, Snape would have known that it was not safe. ”

"You're going to keep searching while I'm away, okay?" Hermione said, "As soon as you find something, send an owl to tell me." ”

You can also ask your parents if they know about Lemay. Ron said, "It's safe to ask them." ”

"Very safe as they are both dentists. Hermione said.

"I have a suggestion, why don't we ask Malfoy? he has access to the forbidden areas. Harry said hesitantly.

"Harry, are you crazy? He's a Slytherin! Snape is their headmaster. Ron slapped the table and stood up and continued, "And I don't think he's going to tell us, right, Hermione?" Ron turned to look at Hermione.

"I don't know. Hermione looked a little unnatural. Apparently she hadn't told the two of them that she was actually on good terms with Malfoy right now.

"I don't think he's a bad guy, maybe we did something wrong in the car. Harry said.

"Go as you like, I don't want to apologize to him. Ron slammed the piece onto the board, making a loud noise.

Hermione and Harry looked at each other, apparently deciding not to continue the conversation.

"So you came over and asked me?" Malfoy took his gaze off the book and looked up at Hermione.

"You know who he is, don't you?" Hermione looked at him expectantly.

"Is this man important to you?" Malfoy asked knowingly.

"Very important. Hermione nodded affirmatively.

"But I don't think I'm obligated to tell you. Malfoy's voice suddenly froze. "If you were a friend and asked for advice in private, I think I would be happy to help you, but those two of your friends obviously won't be happy to accept my kindness, don't you think it's unfair to me?"

"No, Harry has offered to ask you. Hermione explained.

"So what?

Ron disagreed, he looked like he had a holiday with you, and Harry couldn't keep going. Hermione's voice dimmed.

"Then I don't think I'll help with this, maybe they won't believe it when they know I'm telling you. Malfoy stared at Hermione silently.

"No, it's not. Hermione shook her head in denial.

"Well, I'll tell you now, Nicol Lemay, known as the only maker of the Philosopher's Stone, the greatest alchemist, and Dumbledore's friend, are these enough?

"Why did this happen?" looked at Malfoy's indifferent eyes, Hermione's heart was inexplicably sour, the clue she had just heard did not make her happy. She walked out of the library abruptly. The cold wind that blew slightly did not make her feel cold, because her heart was even colder at the moment. She began to look at her friendship with the three of them, but it was like a mess.

Looking at Hermione's fading back. Malfoy let out a sigh of relief.

This friendship was never supposed to exist, and Malfoy, who was on the train, tried to change history, but failed to do so. He then decided that the well water would not interfere with the river water, but was moved by Hermione's courage to apologize. When they met again in the library, he couldn't bear to look at the sad Hermione, comforted her, and took her to Hogsmeade secretly. However, the conflicts between the academy and friends still lie among them, and once they erupt, no one is spared.

"Sooner or later, we have to face it, so let's end it early. Malfoy knew very well that if he hadn't taken the initiative this time, something similar would have happened in the future, and that this friendship would have to be a hurdle for both of them if they were to have a lasting relationship.

"It's up to you to decide whether the friendship is over or new. Malfoy thought. "I'll be the one to do the wicked this time. ”

Hermione returned to the Gryffindor common room with a blank face, the warmth of the fireplace making her feel better. She saw Ron and Harry happily playing wizarding chess.

"I know who Nicolame is. Hermione said calmly.

"Oh, Harry, your horse was eaten by me. "Ron was about to take Harry's horse. Suddenly, the two who were playing chess suddenly reacted. "What did you say, do you know who he is?" asked Harry, surprised.

"Hermione, you're so cool. Ron complimented.

Hermione still maintained her calm tone, "He is known to be the only maker of the Philosopher's Stone, the greatest alchemist, and a friend of Dumbledore. ”

"Philosopher's stone!" Ron exclaimed. No wonder Snape wanted to hit him. Everybody wants it!"

"What's that?" Harry asked Ron.

"My twin brothers had talked about the stone, and they said that if they got it, they wouldn't have to run out of gold, and they wouldn't come to class again. By the way, they also said that this stone can make an elixir of life, so that those who drink this medicine will never die. ”

"Then it all makes sense. Harry said. "Nicolame and Professor Dumbledore are friends, and he asked the Professor to keep the Philosopher's Stone here for a while, and the three-headed dog must have been one of the guards, and Snape tried to steal it but failed, and was bitten instead. ”

"Hermione, you're a great hero. Ron complimented Hermione one again.

Hermione smiled a little unnaturally.
