305 Contradictory contradictions
"Draco, long time no see."
They hadn't seen each other in a long time, and Draco was on the verge of forgetting that he and Harry were in a relationship, and time wasn't a good thing. But there's no denying that at the first sight of Harry, Draco's heart starts to beat faster.
Sure enough, he still likes Harry Potter, and likes this person in his own way.
It's because he likes this man that he is extremely supportive of his father and mother's decision, and Draco hopes that he can stand by Harry Potter's side in a dignified manner, rather than being called a Death Eater child or something.
Harry was a little nervous watching Draco arrive, he stood up and looked at the boy with a slightly red face, Harry missed Draco very much, missed him very much, every moment of his life.
"Long time no see, Scarhead."
Harry smirked and scratched his head at the title, perhaps others thought it was a sarcastic title, but only Harry knew that it was a nickname from Draco, and there was only one person who would call him that, and that person was Draco Malfoy, the person he liked.
"Malfoy? How dare you come here? โ
The Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix, Loki touched/touched his chin to watch the play, one is Harry's lover and the other is a person who has a crush on Harry, a bit like a Shura field. They can't blame Ginny too much, after all, some things are really deep-rooted, plus the previous relationship between the two families......
No matter how well water Ron and Draco were, it didn't affect the two families, did it?
"Why can't I come? Are there two of my juniors here? Miss Weasley is a little strange here, are you the girlfriend of the new Harry Potter? โ
Draco's sarcastic look made Ginny blush, she wanted to be Harry's girlfriend, that was her wish since she was a child, but unfortunately Harry had no interest in her at all, Ginny thought she was quite beautiful, and many boys liked her but couldn't attract Harry's attention. Draco's words also poked her in the sore spot, and Harry looked at Draco helplessly, as if to say what are you going to say?
"Forget it, I'm not here to quarrel with you. I just stopped by to say hello to Loki and Merlin, after all, as prefects, there are so many things to do. โ
Harry also stood up at this time, he looked at Draco with a smile and said, "Let's go together, I just saw the letter, and it is said that there is a lot of work to do." โ
Gryffindor's prefects this year are Harry and Hermione, and the two of them deserve their names, Harry can be regarded as the top person in the entire Gryffindor, plus the outstanding performance in the Triwizard Tournament, this year's prefect is not him, but he is a little unspeakable.
Harry was also happy with the result, he had already guessed that the Slytherin prefect must be Draco, after all, he was the only one in the entire fifth year who had such strength. Harry accepted the position of prefect more mainly because he could protect Draco, the prefect sometimes needed to have meetings together, and by the way, there was a private bath/room, he could have many excuses to stick to Draco's side.
More importantly, there are some things where he can help Draco "in a false way".
Draco rolled his eyes as he glanced at Harry who had taken out the medal from his pocket, he knew that it must be Harry's, and there was no one in Gryffindor who had ever competed for Harry Potter besides Thor, especially since he himself had that ability.
Hermione also stood up, the letter they had just received that said: they needed to go to the prefects' carriage for a meeting, and by the way, they would make a tour of the rest of the carriage.
The prefect's carriage was right in front of them, so that was why Draco was passing by.
Pansy stood outside and looked at Draco, their Slytherin prince had been completely abducted by a Gryffindor, and he had been restless since the beginning, and he didn't have to think about it to know what was going on in his mind.
Pansy Parkinson is also a member of a pure-blood family, and families like them have some relationship with that person, but that doesn't mean they will actually follow that person. They look like spoiled dolls, but on the contrary, they have their own ideas.
Pansy's idea was to follow Draco's will, and they all knew Draco Malfoy's place in Slytherin, especially since he was the young master of the Malfoy family, and to the children of their pure-bloods, he was the leader of the army.
Pansy knew that Draco would choose the best path for his own sake, and his relationship with the Lestrade family meant that he would not be completely a "lackey" of that person.
This is also the idea of many pure-blood children, but there are also some people who blindly follow that person.
"Draco, it's almost time."
Pansy's voice sounded outside the door, Draco gracefully exited the carriage and Harry came out after him, and Draco gave Loki a look as he left, the relationship in Slytherin was like a tree root, coiled layer by layer, some positions could not be shaken, and some things should not be said in the open, so Draco thought that he and Loki needed at least one person at this critical moment.
Loki nodded vaguely, and after the prefects with heavy responsibilities left, Loki pulled Thor and Merlin to their feet, he smiled at Ron and nodded, and glanced at Ginny with a smile, "I'm going back to the Slytherin carriage and sit down, I'll see you later." โ
The reason for this is that Loki needs to come back and have lunch with Harry.
Ron waved at them, he hadn't gotten through the horns since Ron had figured it out, and Ron knew that Harry and Lestrade considered themselves friends and valued Draco more, and that was enough. He might not like Draco, but the two of them could respect each other.
Well water doesn't interfere with river water, does it?
So they got along very happily until now, and Ron knew that if the Malfoys really surrendered to Voldemort, the Reistriders who participated in the previous battle of London would definitely react, it is said that many Muggles died in that war, and I believe too much that Harry must be disgusted and rejected by the dead master and apprentice.
Since they were able to treat Draco amicably, it proved that there must be some โกโก in this that they didn't know.
So Ron was smart and chose not to say anything.
Hermione looked at Harry who rubbed next to Draco and sighed quietly, Harry really will never change, she heard something when she was a guest at Lestrade's house before, it may be good that Draco and Harry have become prefects, so at least no one dares to say anything nonsense in front of these two people.
Hermione didn't think that Harry and Draco had any feelings, after all, she was the one who had seen Mr. Lestrade and Mr. Holmes in love, Hermione knew that love was not limited to men and women, whether it was a man and a man or a woman and a woman, all it took was โกโก enough, wasn't it?
Pansy and Hermione followed behind Draco and Harry, and given the relationship between the two of them, the two of them didn't argue, but they didn't greet each other.
In the prefect's carriage, after the student council leader/seat said what needs to be paid attention to today, they will go to the carriage to do their own rounds. Harry and Draco standing together had obviously caught the attention of the others, and they had all heard about Voldemort's return, so Draco had the word Death Eater on his body once again.
They all wondered why Harry was so close to Draco, and the jack-of-all-trades, Miss Hermione Granger, didn't seem to object.
But none of them are impulsive people, and no matter how many questions they have, they will hide in their hearts.
Pansy is good at observing people's hearts, she sneered in her heart, and sure enough, even in the school, there are many people who wear a mask of hypocrisy, smile at them and observe them with a look of the eyes, subconsciously making a distance.
Harry stole a touch of Draco's hand, and Draco gave him a smiling look and blinked as if to say, "What's the matter, Scarhead." โ
Harry shook his head, he just wanted to touch him.
"Well, remember to make sure the students are safe when they get off the bus."
After that, they need to devote themselves to the work of the prefect immediately, before parting, Harry dragged Draco to walk behind, he shook Draco's hand hard, and the expressions of the other classmates just now Harry also saw in his eyes, this is actually what he has been worried about.
Although it was only a small minority, it proved that many people wanted to separate themselves from the Slytherins, after all, they were the legendary academy rich in dark wizards, and even more so, the majority of the wizards loyal to Voldemort came from.
"You're worried about me?"
"No, I just wanted to say if there's anything you remember to share with me."
Not worried, he knew that Draco was capable of handling everything, but he also hoped that Draco would not hide these things from him.
"Scarhead, when did you learn to be so gentle?"
Harry merely smiled as he waved at the man to catch up with Hermione, but he turned back to Draco and said, "I'm going to look for you at night." โ
Draco glared at the man, before Pansy complained, "Tsk, Draco, you have pink bubbles on your body, even rolling your eyes can't deny that you're happy now." โ
"Pansy, if you hate it so much, you won't be able to get married."
Draco wouldn't admit that he was covered in pink bubbles.
"There are people waiting in line to marry me, so this is not something that Young Master Malfoy is worried about."
Pansy doesn't know when she also got the poison tongue, but Pansy doesn't admit that it's because she and Loki have been together for too long. Draco, however, laughed, laughing, "Oh? Then I'm going to tell Blaise. โ
Pansy smacked Draco and strode forward, being teased at by Draco for not being ladylike at all.
Hermione looked at Harry who was catching up, and she was also a little helpless, these two people probably need to be careful in love before that person is resolved, after all, they also need to be seen by everyone, right?
"I thought that you, who were afraid of trouble, would refuse the position of prefect."
"Hermione, you should know, I can't refuse."
Hermione shook her head, yes, how could Harry Potter refuse such an opportunity, although Harry is a little lazy and doesn't like trouble, but it doesn't mean that he is incapable, does it? The children of the Lestrade family, which one of them can not stand alone.
Hermione had a lot of conversations with Harry along the way, as well as Miss Anthea, who had visited Ancia when she had heard that she was injured and had also gone to Anthea's villa. It was also the first time I saw that very attractive lady, her idol Anthea's girlfriend Elena Hill.
She didn't expect that Ancia liked that kind of character, Elena was very good-looking when she smiled, but she was also a strong person, and she was also a very powerful person to admire.
"I heard that Harold asked the Ministry of Magic for a large sum of money?"
Harry shrugged, it was clear that this was true, Harold was very sensitive to numbers, because Ancia had been on vacation recently, and Harold had helped McCroft do a lot of things, and he had adapted to those jobs in advance.
He did ask the Ministry of Magic for a large sum of money for repairs in London, and this time for the bereavement/consolation to the families of the deceased.
Harold didn't look at anyone's face in this regard, but McCroft admired his behavior.
"Fudge is probably going to faint in his office crying, and he actually met Harold, a little vampire."
There were a lot of first-year students enrolled this year, and Harry finally got in the car after handing over the first-year kids to Hagrid, and finally had a bit of a relief. Harry thought of Luna Lovegood, the girl he had just met, known as the Mad Girl.
Harry had heard a lot of rumors about her before, but he had never been in close contact with her.
But what attracted Harry the most about this person was her father's identity, which was a very interesting magazine. And Luna's peculiar way of thinking, which Harry came to when he got into a carriage with Luna.
Since Loki had returned to Slytherin, Merlin ran over and sat in the carriage with Harry, as well as Arthur and Luna, who had caught up with them.
It's also interesting to say, all four of them were able to see Thestrals pulling carts, and legend has it that Thestrals can only see those who see the dead, so it was once considered a symbol of bad luck. Harry had seen a lot of deaths, so it wasn't surprising that he and Merlin had seen them, and Harry was curious why Arthur could see them, and even Merlin looked at Arthur.
Only those who have touched the ghost gate can, Arthur scratched his head in embarrassment, did he want him to say that he had experienced many deaths before?
"Probably because...... Accidentally? โ
There are some things that Arthur can't say now, after all, Merlin's memory hasn't been restored, has it?
By the time Harry finally sat down at the Gryffindor table, he was so hungry that he had pressed his chest to his back, after all, he had eaten at noon at a very old age, and he had quickly digested what he had eaten at noon.
They seemed to have a new professor this year, and Harry saw a female professor dressed in pink sitting in the professor's chair, not to think that this should be the professor of this year's Defence Against the Dark Arts class, after all, the only thing missing in Hogwarts was the professor for this position.
In fact, Harry was a little sorry why it wasn't Sirius, knowing that Dumbledore had intentionally invited Sirius to be a professor before. Umbridge's appearance was not within Dumbledore's expectations, he didn't expect Fudge to reach into Hogwarts, and he directly stuffed people in as the head of the Ministry of Magic.
Dumbledore knew that this man was supposed to be there to deal with him, and that old fox Fudge was worried that his lake would affect his position, didn't he?
Umbridge sat in the professor's place, and she looked at Severus Snape, who was sitting next to her, who was also said to be a supporter of Dumbledore, Fudge said.
By the way, and the little wizards of the Lestrade family are even more important characters for her to pay attention to.
She had heard that Harold Lestrade had helped Fudge a few times, disgraced Fudge in the Muggle government, and disgraced their wizards. There is also the incident in which Merlin Lestrade previously testified about the desertion of a wizard arranged near the London Eye after the Battle of London.
But don't worry, they have events to settle accounts slowly, don't they?
Umbridge looked at the little Lestrades sitting below with a smile, she was really looking forward to this year's life, as long as Fudge was still on stage for a day, Dumbledore would have no way to take her, she could also help Fudge do what he wanted to accomplish, at least pull Dumbledore off the stage, this wizarding world can't let Dumbledore's family dominate, right?
He can't always control Hogwarts, which exports talent to the wizarding world, and it's time for someone else to speak here.
This year, the lyrics of the Sorting Hat have changed, and the hall has become serious, and the fact that Voldemort has returned has had too much of an impact after all, even if the Ministry of Magic does not admit it, but not everyone is stupid.
Dumbledore then talks about the changes in professorship this year, and Umbridge snatches the words from Dumbledore's mouth, she needs to let the students know herself, know who she really is, and be in awe of the Ministry of Magic.
"Well, I must say, it's great to be back at Hogwarts!" She grinned, showing her very sharp teeth in her mouth, "It's great to see these delightful little / face up looking at me!"
Harry saw her look at him and smiled at Umbridge, Fudge's people? Hate yourself that's a certainty, after all, behind him are Dumbledore and Harold and McCroft, isn't it? The three people Fudge hated the most right now were the ones he hated more than he hated Voldemort.
"The Ministry of Magic has always believed that educating young wizards is a very important thing. Some of your innate and valuable talents may be fruitless if they are not nurtured and exercised under careful and meticulous guidance. โ
She mentioned the Ministry of Magic very tactfully, and then the conversation changed to a brighter smile, "The successive headmasters of Hogwarts have innovated in their responsibilities to manage this historic school, and this is completely deserved, because if there is no progress, it will stagnate and decay. At the same time, however, progress for the sake of progress should never be encouraged, and our traditions are tempered and often do not need to be poorly revised. To strike a balance between the old and the new, between permanence and change, between tradition and innovation?"
Sure enough, this man was menacing, and Harry probably understood what he was thinking, this was a provocation to the whole of Hogwarts, and to the professors, wasn't it? Especially in questioning Dumbledore.
"It's going to be a bad year this year, and there's a troublesome person."
"Harry, she's just a clown, how long do you think she'll be called?"
Saul doesn't care about the pink professor at all, as for the name? That's not something he needs to remember as a god, besides, it's just a person who stands here because of Fudge, and Fudge hasn't been in power for long, can this person still be able to jump for too long?
Harry laughed when he heard Thor say that, yes, but it was...... It's just a dog to play with people, although Dumbledore is playing politics, but his dedication to this school is also obvious to all, not a person who becomes a professor halfway can be free to do his duty, and although their professors have some shortcomings, they are too much more than this wall.
"There are old habits that will be preserved, which is understandable, and there are habits that are obsolete and must be abandoned."
The sparse applause allowed Umbridge to still smile, Loki was smiling and whispering something to Draco, Draco was smiling very Malfoy, he had heard that Fudge was going to step down, and the reason for bringing people in at this time was just to pull Dumbledore into the water.
It's a pity that this Hogwarts isn't a place for her to be presumptuous, even her Slytherin first-year wouldn't believe it, would it?
After having fun this year, Loki watched Umbridge wonder how to have a "good" relationship with the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. Given her attention to Harry, and her brothers, it seemed that she was the enemy.
"Merlin, Harold and Mycroft have caused us a lot of trouble, and you think we should extort them from us? And, ah, someone is going to trouble us. โ
Merlin snickered when he heard Loki's words, blackmailing Harold and McCroft? Is it possible to extort a house of sweets?
"Someone is ready to bully us? I'll protect Loki! โ
Loki slapped Merlin on the forehead and said, "You should have said that we should resist, and that I was protecting you, stupid!" โ
