Malfoy opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the high ceiling, then he smelled a fragrance, it should be the fragrance of flowers, he knew that he was completely safe now, he slowly straightened up from the bed, and saw that he was covered with white linen sheets under him, Pansy was putting her hands on her head at the end of the bed, as if she was asleep, and there were shallow tear stains in the corners of her eyes, which made his heart warm.

He looked around and saw that the students who were still petrified were still lying in the hospital beds, just like himself, and there was one more person, Hermione, but she seemed to be unconscious.

"Son, are you awake? Good morning. Dumbledore's smiling face suddenly appeared in front of him.

"How's it going, has the basilisk been resolved?" asked Malfoy bluntly, not showing the respect he deserved to the headmaster.

Dumbledore didn't care about that, he shook his beard and lowered his voice to look at Malfoy and said, "Of course, it was dying when I arrived. ”

"How did you do that, kid?" he asked, his blue eyes fixed on Malfoy, but not with a Palestine, as if a generous elder were earnestly asking a child.

"No comment. Malfoy said.

"Well, everyone should have their own secrets. Dumbledore nodded, as if he didn't care.

Dumbledore looked around before he smiled and said, "In a few days, the mandrake will be fully ripe, and everyone will be able to return to their original state, which is really good news." ”

"Of course. Malfoy nodded.

"But our hero may not be getting the treatment he deserves. Dumbledore looked at Malfoy again with his piercing blue eyes.

"Hero, who? do you say me?" Malfoy pretended to be stupid, he vaguely remembered that he had told the Headmaster before he fell unconscious, and he didn't know what Dumbledore had done.

"So, how did you explain that to the outside world?" asked Malfoy.

"Second-year Draco Malfoy was controlled by the diary and caused a series of basilisk attacks, but eventually showed his feet on Christmas Day, when he was discovered by Lockhart, the professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Hermione Granger, a second-year schoolgirl, was coincidentally involved in the accident. Dumbledore looked at Malfoy's face, and after finding that he didn't care, he continued to say in his low tone: "After a hard fight, Professor Lockhart used a perfect transformation charm, conjured a rooster, and defeated the basilisk, but in order to protect his students, he was unfortunately hit in the head by the basilisk, and after the victory, he fainted, I don't know if there will be any sequelae, and Hermione's classmate ran out for help, because of the excessive fright, and has been in a coma since then." ”

"Headmaster, how can you do this!" came such an angry female voice from the hospital bed not far away, it was Hermione who had woken up, and it seemed that she had listened to all what Dumbledore had just said, and she stood up, her little face flushed, and there was some disbelief in her eyes. "He saved me, and it was Lockhart who was controlled! This is a slander against Malfoy!" she said aloud, unable to accept the fact that someone had been framed.

"Forget it!"

"Okay, we can move on. Malfoy looked at Dumbledore calmly, and before Hermione on the hospital bed not far away could react, she was hit by a spell and lay straight down again.

Dumbledore didn't expect the student in front of him to actually make a move, even if he wanted to stop it, his reaction was half a beat slower, to no avail.

"It's getting slower and slower. Dumbledore's heart was awe-inspiring, as time went by, he was getting older and older, and that person didn't know when he would come back, the old man couldn't help but worry about the future, so he needed to fight for all the help he could, and it seemed that although the child in front of him was born in the so-called pure blood, he was not the Slytherin in the eyes of ordinary people. , worthy of his wooing.

"Attacking other students in front of the headmaster, Slytherin deducts a hundred points. Dumbledore crossed his hands, but there was no anger in his tone, it was more of a joke, the old man could only accept this reality, it was better to say that the truth was indeed known to fewer people, the better, although a little helpless, but maybe a good thing.

"Are our house scores negative now?" Malfoy joked.

"I think there's still double digits. Dumbledore thought for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Even if it is an unintentional mistake, it is a fact that it has caused harm to the students, and if it is a subjective and intentional act of the student, then he must be expelled, and if he is only manipulated by witchcraft such as the Imperius Charm, we will only give him a 300% deduction from his house. Dumbledore paused, watching his reaction.

"Didn't I get expelled? That's great. Malfoy clapped his hands, unconcerned, as if he was still a little happy, excited that he hadn't been dealt with seriously.

"It's just a small solution to your father's troubles. Dumbledore lifted his glasses and said, "How can I compensate you, child?"

"Finally got to the point. Malfoy thought to himself.

The bamboo pole sent to the door could not be knocked on, and his plan did need some props, Malfoy gladly accepted, he realized the horror of the white wizard in front of him, there is a good saying: "Stupid mage, he has died during his apprenticeship." "Although this world does not correspond to that world, the truth is still the same, Dumbledore, who can become the most powerful white wizard in the world today, is not only powerful.

Now Malfoy and Dumbledore can be said to be a little tacit, he has made his position clear to Dumbledore, and Dumbledore also hopes to win him over.

"The corpse of the basilisk. He said.

"Of course, this should be your trophy. Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Phoenix tears. Malfoy continued.

"No problem, I think Fawkes will be in tears for your bravery. Dumbledore teased rarely.

"Gryffindor's sword. Malfoy said one last thing he wanted.

"Hmm—" Dumbledore was lost in thought, the request seemed to make him embarrassed, his brow furrowed high, and there was a wordless silence for a long time. "Your courage is no less than that of any Gryffindor. ”

"May you always keep that courage going. Dumbledore pushed his half-moon lenses, and finally Dumbledore spat out the words.

"Thank you. Malfoy thanked him sincerely, knowing that this was Dumbledore's acknowledgment of him, and perhaps this was the beginning of their cooperation.
