Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 507 Draco and the funeral

For the entire Order of the Phoenix, the words that leaked from Draco were naturally a clue worth paying attention to, but as for Draco himself, there was not much to consider right now.

Although he not only cast spells outside the school, he also recites one of the three unforgivable spells.But let's not mention whether he was released, 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 on the hillside in order to 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 it is not necessary 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 in a certain corner of the Muggle world, and even if you take a little more time to find it, you can even find a wizard shop 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 especially interested in those Muggles. This is evident from the establishment of a Muggle research course at Hogwarts.

Like Ron's father Arthur, he was the kind of wizard who was 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 many people would care whether he likes Muggles or hates Muggles.

As for Hufflepuff’s philosophy and actions of treating students equally and recruiting 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, perhaps Maca sometimes ponders these seemingly interesting futures, but it is more difficult for 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 if you think about it, you can find out. In fact, Voldemort is more than a little bit stronger than before!

With a wizard as powerful as him, coupled with his usual cruelty, it 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 was killing or being killed, I'm afraid Draco Malfoy didn't want him.

He could be arrogant and domineering in the school, and he was not really convinced even in the face of 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, 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.

"What's the matter?" Draco turned his head quickly, his hand already reaching the wand inside the robe, "Who? Who is there?"

It's a pity that behind him is just a small street with few people. Although there are several wizards walking on their own, there is nothing suspicious.

So 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.

...

After about ten minutes, Draco finally arrived at Hogwarts Castle.

Today he woke up early...No, if he had to say it, he actually didn't sleep 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 batch, but walking on the path leading to the school, he still looks a bit crowded.

Today Hogwarts prepared a lot of breakfast to entertain a large number of guests who came to observe the ceremony, so most of them went to the auditorium one after another and took their seats.

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.

For the people around Dumbledore, today is a sad and sad day; but for some ordinary wizards, it is still a good time to establish friendship and expand the interpersonal circle.

Draco was still sitting on the long Slytherin table, eating breakfast in silence.In fact, he had already eaten meals before he came, but once he returned to school, his heart suddenly felt relieved.This school, called 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 corridor unhurriedly, passing by the front end of the long table, and then gently sitting on the staff seat with a calm expression on his face.

With the appearance of Maca, Draco immediately noticed that many of his eyes were looking towards that side, 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 much more obvious.Under these gazes, Draco suppressed the anxiety in his heart and ate breakfast blankly.

Of course he understood why those people looked at themselves, and it was 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 were already clear.

He Draco appeared here today, obviously meaning Voldemort.This is a fact, but it is also something that even he has figured out. Naturally, I feel 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.

He didn't care about him when others saw him, but Maca looked at him, but his heart was quite complicated.

Subconsciously, Draco stopped the fork in his hand, looked up at the faculty seat, and met Maca's eyes for a moment.

The eyes of the two of them were close at once, and then they lowered their heads and continued to enjoy the breakfast in front of them.

Naturally, Maca didn't feel much at that time, he just felt that this might be a signal thrown by Voldemort, or a provocation or suggestion; but on Draco's side, he began to shake his heart again.

He still couldn't make up his mind to find Maca, not only because of the pure-blooded 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 sides are changed, he consciously will not help someone who has had conflicts.Under this circumstance, it is already polite not to fall into trouble.

Draco still remembered that he had used the word "mudblood" to express his contempt for Granger, and even almost scolded McLean together. As a result, McLean sent him all over. Binding spell.

"...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 napkins one by one, Professor McGonagall stood up suddenly. Body come.

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--"

Upon hearing this, the guests got up and left their seats one after another, 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 snowflakes are still falling outside, and the wind is constantly getting bigger and denser. This is a fierce blizzard that blows people out of breath.

Feeling the knife-cut pain on his 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 felt the weight of the "funeral."
