Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 507: Draco and the funeral
For the entire Order of the Phoenix, the words leaked from Draco are naturally a clue worth paying attention to, but as for Draco himself, there is not much to consider at the moment.
Although he not only casts spells outside the school, but he also recites one of the three unforgivable spells. But let's not mention whether he was released or not, even if it was released, it is not a top priority at this time.
After that, Lupin and Tonks only mentioned the matter of Draco practicing the spell under the hillside in the mission record, in case they can deal with it later. As for Draco, he continued on his way to find a place to stay without knowing it.
In fact, as long as you don’t have to find a place to stay near Hogwarts, there is still a lot of choice. Not to mention Diagon Alley, there are many other wizard streets opened up in a corner of the Muggle World, and even if you take more effort to find it, you can even find a wizard store opened in the Muggle World alone. .
In this modern magical world, with the exception of some pure-blood fanatics, in fact, many ordinary wizards no longer resist the existence of Muggles. Even some wizards are particularly interested in those Muggles. This is evident from the establishment of a Muggle research course at Hogwarts.
Like Ron's father Arthur, he is the kind of wizard who is particularly interested in Muggle things. And the reason why he is noticeable because of this is only because of his pure-blood family background. Without the drag of the title "pure-blooded traitor", I am afraid that not so many people would care whether he likes Muggles or hates Muggles.
As far as Hufflepuff’s philosophy and actions were to treat all students equally and recruit students extensively, an unstoppable trend has gradually formed in the course of hundreds of years. Perhaps in the near future, the beautiful scene of Muggles and wizards living in harmony may not be a ridiculous nonsense.
Of course, maybe Maca sometimes wonders about these seemingly interesting futures, but it's more difficult to get Draco to realize something.
This time, after he left the snow slope, he went to find an unfamous wizard alley at random and dealt with it in a hostel for two days.
During this period, he thought a lot about Voldemort and his family, but the more he thought about it, the more clueless he became.
Sometimes, strength may not be everything, but it is limited to the premise that there is not a big difference in strength; if Voldemort today is compared with Maca, it seems to be a lot worse, but you really have to think about it. I can find that Voldemort is actually more than a star and a half stronger than before!
A wizard as powerful as him, coupled with his usual cruelty, would be easier than he thought to erase the entire Malfoy family.
Because of this, Draco was walking on the way to Hogwarts right now, and he pressed his lips tightly, not even his expression changed along the way.
He now understands what his father Lucius has to do—instead of himself, if he is threatened and persecuted by a murderous monster, he might be even more embarrassed.
In the past, he had never been in direct contact with Voldemort, and even once secretly worshipped the former Dark Lord. But now, when he was truly shrouded in the shadow of Voldemort, he knew how ignorant and ridiculous his blind vision was when he was a child.
Whether it's killing or being killed, I'm afraid it's not what Draco Malfoy wanted.
He could be a little arrogant and domineering in school, and he didn't even really convince him when he faced that McLean. But now he finally understood that it was only because there was no threat of death in the school, and there was no real cruelty.
"Should I..." Draco paused, and a struggle appeared on his face, "Should I go to McLean for help?"
But at this moment, he suddenly felt an inexplicable coolness rising on his spine, making him shiver suddenly.
"What's the matter?" Draco turned his head quickly, his hand reached the wand inside the robe, "Who? Who is there?"
It's a pity that there is only a small street with few people behind him. Although there are also a few wizards walking on their own, there is nothing suspicious.
Then what happened just now? That feeling, as if someone was staring at him coldly, gave him the illusion that he would be swallowed up in the next moment.
Although it was winter now and everyone walking on the road was chilly, Draco had already burst into a cold sweat before he knew it.
……
About ten minutes later, Draco finally arrived at Hogwarts Castle.
He woke up early today...No, if I have to say it, he hasn't slept well these days. When he went to Hogsmeade Village, he discovered that because today is the public day of the funeral, so many people go to Hogwarts Castle.
He is indeed an early group, but walking on the path leading to the school, he still looks a bit crowded.
Today, Hogwarts prepared a lot of breakfasts to entertain a large number of guests who came to observe the ceremony, so most of them went to the auditorium one after another to sit down and eat.
If you ask, this is of course not as simple as a breakfast. Large-scale collective activities like today are rare in the entire magical world. Even wizards who have no relationship with Dumbledore will rush over eagerly, just to join in the fun.
To the people around Dumbledore, today is a sad and sad day; but for some ordinary wizards, this is still a good time to establish friendship and expand their interpersonal circles.
Draco was still sitting on the long Slytherin table, eating breakfast in silence. In fact, he had already eaten the meal before he came, but once he returned to school, his heart was suddenly relieved. This school named Hogwarts is a place full of security for many people, even Draco.
Not long after, Maca also appeared in the auditorium. However, he saw him stepping out of the side porch unhurriedly, passing the front end of the long table, and then gently sitting on the faculty bench with a calm expression on his face.
As soon as Maca appeared, Draco immediately noticed that many of his eyes were looking towards him, and after that, many of them glanced at him again.
Maybe someone was watching him just now, but this time the line of sight will be more obvious. Under these gazes, Draco suppressed the anxiety in his heart and ate breakfast blankly.
Of course he understands why those people look at themselves, and it's all because of his father Lucius Malfoy. Recently, my father was forced to stand on the front line of the fiercest struggle, and he showed up several times. The wizards who were well-informed had already been clear.
He Draco appeared here today, and he obviously meant Voldemort. This is a fact, but it is also something that even he has figured out, and he is naturally distressed.
At this moment, another line of sight was cast in Draco's direction. At first, he still immersed himself in the meal, but after a while, he found the owner of the line of sight from the corner of his eye.
People don't care about him, but Maca looks at him, but he feels a bit complicated.
Subconsciously, Draco stopped the fork in his hand, looked up at the faculty seat, and met Maca's eyes slightly.
The gazes of the two of them were close at once, and then they lowered their heads again, and continued to enjoy the breakfast in front of them.
The Maca at the time naturally didn't feel much, he just thought that this might be a signal thrown by Voldemort, or a provocation or suggestion; but on Draco's side, he started to shake his heart again.
He was still unable to make up his mind to find Maca, not only because of the pureblood pride hidden in his heart, but also because...what reason does McLean have to help him with Draco? Is there any reason to help him the Malfoy family?
If the positions of the two parties are changed to another place~IndoMTL.com~, he consciously won't help someone who has had a conflict. Under this circumstance, it would be considered polite not to fall into trouble.
Draco still remembers that he used the word "mudblood" to express his contempt for Granger, and even almost scolded McLean together. As a result, McLean sent it straight away. He has a full body restraint curse.
"...Speaking of which, what is McLean's background?" Draco thought about this, then looked at Maca, and suddenly fell into a lot of doubts.
But no matter what he thought, the breakfast came to an end without knowing it. After most of the guests put down the cutlery in their hands and wiped their mouths with their napkins one by one, Professor McGonagall suddenly Stood up.
Soon, everyone stopped eating, and some whispering conversations quickly disappeared. Everyone knows that today's topic is finally coming.
"Everyone, time is almost up," McGonagall's voice resounded through the entire auditorium under the power of magic, "Please follow our professors and move to the open space in the castle's forecourt to wait for a while--"
When the guests heard the words, they got up and left their seats, and followed the professors who had been waiting at the door to move out. Draco naturally followed them, rushing out of the auditorium while remaining silent.
White snow is still falling outside, and the wind is constantly getting bigger and denser. This is a fierce blizzard that makes people breathless.
Feeling the knife-cut pain on both cheeks, Draco lowered his eyes and walked forward slowly without saying a word. He had only repeatedly thought about death not long ago, and for the first time he felt the weight of the "funeral."
