Chapter 193 The Eve of the Trial
Chapter 193 The Eve of the Trial
The noise faded slightly in front of him before returning to dead silence.
The once familiar manor became unfamiliar. Looking around helplessly, I was dragged into the abyss by two greetings.
On the steps, blood-red snake eyes stared at him, and the soft breathing sounded like the sound of a snake.
"Draco Malfoy. Finally."
"Welcome. Nice to meet you."
Everything that happened at Hogwarts seemed distant and unfamiliar.
Obviously, it was just a few hours ago??
-----
"Why are you having nightmares again?"
There are only two days left until the final level.
A few weeks passed after being hit by the Stunning Spell.
Mr. Crouch is still missing, and Professor Moody hasn't shown any suspicious behavior.
Business as usual.
Except that the students were going crazy as the final test approached.
Inside the Quidditch pitch, a magnificent maze has grown.
Standing outside, you can hear the calls of various magical animals in the maze, adding to the atmosphere of tension and mystery.
On Wednesday afternoon of his final week, Harry took advantage of the early end of Charms class to
Finally she found Draco in the corner of the library and sat down next to her.
Seeing that he was worried, Draco put down the book.
Harry took off his glasses, rubbed them vigorously on his robes, and then spoke slowly.
"Can you walk with me?"
Draco may never have thought that in this life,
I was so anxious because of such a simple sentence.
On the way to the Black Lake, Harry told Draco about his dream in Divination class.
Voldemort was furious at Wormtail for some mistake he had made.
Despite the mistake, which had not spread because a certain man had disappeared, Wormtail was still tortured by the Torture Curse.
Along the way, Draco just held Harry's hand and listened quietly.
"The last time you dreamed..."
I originally wanted to ask Harry how often he dreamed of the Dark Lord.
But looking at his obviously sleep-deprived expression, suddenly only one question came to my mind.
“Does the scar still hurt?”
"It still stings from time to time. Don't worry, it's nothing."
"It was the same last time."
Harry touched the scar on his forehead and smiled helplessly.
"Squat down."
Draco stood in front of Harry, hands on hips, and spoke in a commanding tone.
Her blonde hair fluttered in the warm wind, and her face, facing away from the sun, looked a little shy.
Harry scratched his hair and half-knelt down, not knowing what was going on. Draco had already come up to him.
He used his right hand to push the flowing hair behind his ear, but a few strands of hair still scratched Harry's face.
The scent of hair and flowers mixed together intoxicatingly, and Draco raised his chin in front of him.
The white neck line was right in front of him.
The elegant fragrance that always lingered on her body seemed to become more pronounced as her body temperature rose.
Harry's eyes were unconsciously seduced by the body scent, and he looked along Draco's neck to the depths of her collar.
You can vaguely see the scenery that makes your mouth dry.
Then, Draco placed his soft lips on his forehead, kissing the lightning scar delicately.
Harry's desire instantly disappeared because of the warmth in his heart.
The gentle lip kiss conveyed Draco's tenderness and concern.
After arriving at Hogwarts, I had more friends and more fun, and the time I spent alone was greatly reduced.
But I have never received such gentle care before.
Perhaps because of this, Draco's breath gradually moistened Harry's eyes.
I had no choice but to close my eyes, but before I could enjoy her tenderness enough, I heard her whispering in my ear.
"This way, I hope it won't hurt anymore."
"Rest...thank you."
Harry opened his eyes and tried to say thank you, but the first word choked him and he couldn't get it out of his mouth.
After coughing a few times and feeling the pain in my throat, I finally slowly expressed my gratitude.
Just as I was about to reach out and hug her, I suddenly heard an impatient dog barking behind me.
The momentary emotional entanglement instantly turned into embarrassment and surprise.
The familiar big black dog was standing next to Hagrid's hut.
Not knowing how to react, it barked a few more times, signaling the two to follow it.
Stepping into the edge of the forest and reaching the Whomping Willow, Harry and Draco both understood where they were headed next.
-
After arriving at the Shrieking Shack, Sirius transformed back into human form.
"What are you doing in school? Aren't you afraid of getting caught?"
"It's Professor Dumbledore, isn't it?"
Compared to Harry, Draco was slightly surprised, but quickly guessed the possible explanation.
Sure enough Sirius nodded.
"Wait a minute...so you already knew Sirius was in the school?"
Harry stared at Draco blankly, but Draco shook his head.
"She's quite quick-witted, for a pampered young lady."
"I just think that the Black family is...
"You wouldn't be stupid enough to take such a risk without thinking it through."
"At least, I won't be stupid enough to repeat the same mistake after being framed once."
"It's a pity you forgot that I was expelled from the Black family a long time ago."
"So? I am the only pure-blood in this generation of the Black family."
"If the Black family doesn't want to be exterminated, they will have to recognize me as the head of the family sooner or later."
"So, as long as I acknowledge you as my cousin, you are still a member of the family."
Sirius laughed heartily again, no longer caring about bickering with Draco.
Just like last time, the two started their meeting with mutual ridicule, but the content was much more relaxed.
Then Sirius's expression became serious.
"When he heard about Crouch's mysterious disappearance, Dumbledore tried to send a message to the Shrieking Shack to find me."
"If I may, I will transform into a beast and look for Crouch."
Sirius said, pointing to his nose.
"A dog's nose is better."
"Although Moody said Crouch was missing,"
"But Dumbledore apparently thinks he should still be on campus."
After a strange pause, he continued.
"After that, Dumbledore asked me to try to look like Padfoot,"
"Stay by Hagrid's cabin and help patrol the campus."
Harry listened and turned to look at Draco.
Her face was pale and she was staggering. Harry went forward and held her.
-
"You found Mr. Crouch, didn't you."
Harry looked closely and realized that Draco's lips were pale and his whole body was trembling.
Sirius nodded glumly before speaking.
"Inside the invisibility cloak."
"Is he here?"
"No more."
There was another pause.
"Even if it was, you wouldn't want to see Crouch like that."
Draco bit his lip tightly as he listened to Sirius' words.
Harry had expected tears to well up in her eyes, but Draco's expression had slowly returned to normal.
His eyes turned cold in an instant.
Draco turned a deaf ear to Harry's conversation with Sirius after that.
I heard Sirius say something like "Dumbledore should have a plan" intermittently.
The same thoughts just kept flashing through my mind.
So, there's a problem with Moody, too.
"Draco? Are you okay?"
It wasn't until Harry called out to him that he came back to his senses.
Draco shook his head and smiled, apologizing for his absent-mindedness.
Sirius, however, seemed to know what he was worried about.
"I probably know what you're thinking."
"Moody should be able to see through the invisibility cloak."
Sirius spoke calmly.
"So, that Moody isn't real either!?"
"But he's not Barty Crouch either."
Harry frowned, not quite understanding what this man was up to.
"Harry."
Draco called Harry, there was something he wanted to confirm.
"Did you ever tell Moody about Weasley's messy idea?"
"About some secret mission Mr. Crouch and Moody are on."
Harry nodded awkwardly, looking into Draco's deep gaze, and hurried to explain.
"Ron said that, actually."
"Last time we got back from Hogsmeade, we talked about Skeeter's disappearance and Crouch's illness."
"Hermione wants to ask Moody if this has anything to do with the Dark Mark at the World Cup."
"He praised Hermione for being an Auror. And, uh..."
"Ron told Moody what he thought."
Draco listened quietly and didn't say much, but fell into silence again.
Seeing this, Sirius stood up and decisively asked Harry and Draco to go back to the castle to rest.
"I just wanted to tell you before the final checkpoint."
"Don't worry, I'm nearby."
Sirius hugged Harry and spoke calmly.
"I tried, but the maze was put under some protective spell, so I couldn't get in."
"It seems that only fighters and patrolmen can enter the maze."
“But on the day of the competition, I will also try to get near the maze.”
"Don't think too much, just play hard."
Next, let Harry walk out of the room and stand in front of Draco.
After hesitating for a while, he lowered his voice and spoke.
"I'm sorry about old Crouch."
"I can probably guess what you're thinking."
Then he smiled brightly.
"Trust Dumbledore, the self-proclaimed future head of the family."
Draco couldn't help but laugh out loud, he couldn't believe the man in front of him.
He seems to be able to retain his sense of humor even when the subject is serious.
It rose slightly yesterday and returned to Monday's level.
Still asking for gifts (recently, there are very few people who are generating electricity for love. There are dozens of people asking for updates, but few of them are generating electricity for love. Of course, there are also very few people asking for updates). Asking for various free and paid gifts!!! Give them to generate electricity for love! (It’s just a matter of watching a 15s advertisement)
The plan for more chapters remains the same. I was a bit behind last week (you can tell from the thank you post), and I’m still far from the update line... I guess this can be considered as hard work this week!
