"I'm so sleepy," Lily said in annoyance, "It's all you who caused the trouble - couldn't you just take a week off? I'm not very demanding, seven days without breaking school rules, is this difficult? I don't even I can believe how much our funnel will drop tomorrow."
She was supposed to have a quiet night today - by that, she would have dinner and discuss reading with her friends, finish her homework, then go back to the lounge, chat about the news with her girlfriends, and finally take a nice hot bath and eat. Eat sweets and write letters to your parents, brush your teeth and go to bed for a good night's sleep.
And this process was completely ruined after the 'book discussion' session. Potter and his buddies set up traps on the road. After the first battle, they proposed a duel. During the duel, the curses became entangled, and Lily Her peaceful night was lost.
"You can't blame me," James said confidently, "it was the snot-nosed man who gave us some strange powder at noon, which made us unable to close our mouths. He also deliberately laughed at Sirius, Lily, good girl, which good guy can bear this? ah--"
"If you hadn't provoked him first," the red-haired girl said, "you would have seen him ignore you as if you were important, Potter."
"You make it sound like we are very rare!" Sirius sneered, "I wish Snotlout would disappear in this academy, so I don't have to see his face that wants to crawl out of the swamp - I really don't recommend it to you Continue to be friends with a Slytherin. Really, Evans, since James recognizes you, it means you are a good girl. You can't imagine when a snake will bite you, and you can't imagine how dirty a snot nose is. You'd better think twice before choosing friends for yourself, Evans."
"Sirius——" Lupine felt that this was too much and quickly stopped him.
"Thank you for your comment, Black," the red-haired girl suddenly felt her self-esteem was hurt. There was an annoyed expression on her face and she glared, "But I don't think I need other people's approval, nor do I need other people's approval. The world does not revolve around you people, and your approval means nothing to me! I may not be very smart, but at least I know who can be my friend."
"Let me tell you a warning, Potter." After being slandered like this by Sirius, Snape naturally would not yell like an ordinary student. A pair of dark eyes on his pale face stared at Sirius, and his mouth What he said was a warning but actually a mockery, "Since, as Mr. Black said, a snake will always bite, I have to remind you that a group of snakes will not give birth to a lion running under the sun, even though you are also a full-fledged one. Idiot, but I’m afraid the one who bites first will always be the one born in darkness——”
"Hey, shut up, it's not your turn to sow discord here, Snotlout, take your words back—"
Ignoring Madam Pomfrey who was busy in the workroom at the other end, the two small groups also ignored their hair that had not been completely separated, and started another quarrel that could get angry every word.
…………
"If one day you and Ron quarrel to this extent," Harry said in awe, "I will beat you both up and put you in the training room at my house. I won't let you out until you learn to unite."
Draco rolled his eyes.
"Then you have to buy a cemetery for Weasley in advance," he said with a twitching mouth, "or ask Longbottom, who is richer than him, to buy it for him. Maybe you can buy one that is not so crowded."
Harry hummed and continued to stare at the movement outside the bed curtain. He didn't say anything, but scratched the bed curtain with his nails.
"Perhaps I should go out and persuade them," Harry murmured, "do something that would help."
"No matter how much you think you can't be born under these circumstances," Draco reminded him, "you were born under your parents' expectations, so don't worry about it, don't do unnecessary things, you know you have no acting skills to speak of. "
"I know, I know," Harry said in despair, staring outside, "I know."
After receiving such an answer, Draco was silent for a while and looked sideways at Harry. He tightened his cold face, wanting to maintain a strict atmosphere like this, but he couldn't bear it.
Harry looked like a child playing hide and seek - he hid in the bed tent, opened a small opening, raised his chin slightly, and looked outside. His eyes longingly chased the boys and girls outside, paying attention to the excitement there, saying nothing, but extremely focused. He looked at those people, but he also had to be careful to hide himself so that he didn't look so weird or ulterior, just like a son who wants to pay more attention to his biological parents.
——See your parents more, get along with them more, talk more, such a small wish, this should be fulfilled.
——Small but will have immeasurable consequences.
——But this is a right that everyone should have.
——But at this time, a smart person should weigh the situation and then choose 'what can be done'. Harry is not stupid, he will understand.
——Yes, of course he will understand, but do you really want him to not even have this right? He deserves everything in the world!
No one could understand Draco's inner struggle at this moment: his rationality and sensibility were fighting madly, just like... like two clergymen holding Bibles and violently smashing each other in the face for the old and new religions they believed in.
Generally speaking, he felt that rationality must defeat sensibility. This was what a Slytherin would do, but unfortunately, just like every time, his sensibility was often like a tide, overwhelming his rationality.
Once his thinking started, he couldn't stop, he just - okay, okay, damn, Merlin knew that he just couldn't bear to look at Harry looking so pitiful, yes, Harry was not pitiful, no Yes, Harry should be like this. Yes, he asked Harry to have as little contact with his parents as possible and not to give them any flaws. But at this moment, Draco looked at Harry, and his heart made Goyle and Crabbe want to kneel on the ground and plead. Can I stay at the dinner table for a while, and my heart can say 'no' coldly and ruthlessly, so I trembled quietly.
Harry focused on Lily and didn't look at him, but Draco felt a scraper scraping his chest, like scraping flour paste in a glass bowl, which was uncomfortable and frustrating.
——No, I don’t want to be the one who calls the shots and tortures his heart.
After some struggle, Draco shook his head, decisively putting aside rationality, and almost instantly came up with a good idea, so he moved closer to Harry and tapped Harry's arm with his finger.
Harry was concentrating when he shuddered when he poked him, and he almost screamed: "Draco?!"
"Pfft, pfft," Draco narrowed his eyes slightly and tried his best to imitate the way Harry's eldest brother, Peter, usually whispers with a group of buddies, and whispered, "Come closer."
Harry obediently put his ear to him and heard Draco whisper in his ear: "Do you want to please your mother while also successfully not offending your father?"
Harry looked back at his friend in shock, and the friend reached up and closed his jaw before he could open his mouth.
"Don't drop your jaw, and don't deny it. I know you want to." His friend said firmly, "Come closer and I'll teach you some spells."
Harry almost instinctively leaned closer, almost to be surrounded by the hot breath exhaled by the other person, but compared to this, Draco's soft words attracted his full attention.
He often whispered to Draco, because they were always moving together and talked about almost everything, but it seemed that they had been separated for too long, and even whispers could make Harry's spirit tense suddenly. Draco's speaking voice is undoubtedly very nice, and his articulation is clear. His rhymes have been educated and cultivated, with a natural elegance and rhythm. Even cursing has its ups and downs like singing. Even if you get him a voice changer, as long as you identify it carefully, you will find that this feeling seems to be imprinted in the voice, which is very identifiable. At this moment, perhaps because he drank the wrong thing, there is something in this voice. With a bit of hoarseness, it sounded a little... different than usual. After lowering his voice, it sounded even more... special.
...What on earth am I paying attention to. Point, Harry, point! Harry thought uncomfortably and avoided it a little bit, but Draco hated his attitude of just leaning in and leaving. When Harry moved a little farther away, Draco stretched out his hand and pulled him hard, pulling him away. He pulled back.
"What are you doing? Do you want to hear the spell?" Draco said dissatisfied.
"No, no," Harry said with a rare stutter. "It's a bit hot when you get close. After all, we closed the curtains and it's not breathable."
Draco's brows twisted, and then he curled his lips: "Then do you still listen? If you don't listen, I won't say anything. I'll tell your parents what to do."
"Listen! Listen!" Harry hurriedly leaned over again, and Draco continued to explain the spells. He also took out his wand and gestured to him, warning him: "I know you Ravenclaws are very interested in beauty. When it comes to the attitude of a mantra, don’t think that just reciting a mantra is enough – the feeling when you cast it is the key.”
"I understand." Harry's understanding was always very good. He nodded and looked outside. "It seems...my father has never thought of using it, and my mother doesn't know much about these things."
Draco pushed him: "Then go quickly - unless you want to see them go back to bed in such annoyance, go quickly!"
"Now? Right away? But-" Harry said.
"Don't say 'but'" Draco knew him better, and one look at his expression showed how unsound his idea was, "Your parents, your elders, will never hate you just because of a little help - not counting. My uncle and the dead rat - According to my observation, your parents quite like you as a junior. They like you so much that the word "like" is written on your face. Look at how your father treats you, and look at how he treats me. Godfather, the difference is like a chasm, so go!!”
He pushed Harry, who had learned the spell but was a little hesitant, out of the bed, and kicked him out of the bed tent: "For Merlin's sake, I'll teach you the spells my mother used myself, so don't waste time." !”
Harry cast a helpless and grateful look at his friend, then summoned up the courage to quietly tiptoe towards the quarreling group.
…………
"Hey Lily, Lily!"
Lily was worried when suddenly someone called her softly from behind. She immediately recognized the voice and turned her head, with a relieved expression on her face.
"Frances!" Sure enough, she saw her junior standing behind her and looking at the robbers and Snape who were not loud but almost making a loud noise with eyes in amazement. She couldn't help but blush, "Yes. Did it bother you to take a break? I’m sorry, I’ll shut them all up now—”
"No, no, no," the blond boy immediately shook his head like a pendulum, "I saw that you looked very distressed, and your hair -"
"Yeah, it's grown abnormally," Lily sighed, pulling on her red hair that had grown from shoulder length to waist length, sweeping her face with the ends of her hair, and said, "And it's very heavy. , like a cabbage hanging on the back. I bet this is definitely the effect of a curse. Normal long hair is definitely not of this weight. Cassie, the neighbor, has such long hair. She never said it was heavy. .”
"Maybe it's like you said, there are some vegetables hanging on your long hair," Harry joked. "After all, you are a girl living in the tower. The witch will soon climb up along it, so you have to protect it." Be yourself, Lily, she may try to dazzle your admirers with your long hair."
Lily burst out laughing: "Hey, I'm not a Rapunzel girl - to be honest, Francis, I thought you Slytherins didn't read much Muggle fairy tales."
"Think about which country I am from," Harry said without any guilt. "This is a legend from my hometown. It was also spread among people before it was compiled into fairy tale books. I can even say that some of it may not be true. It’s just fake – you’re a witch, Lily.”
"Oh yes," the red-haired girl shrugged, "I myself have become a character that only exists in fairy tales. I always forget this. Maybe it will be fine in a few years."
"It's nothing," Harry said, looking at his mother's long hair, a little envious of the hair quality. After all, he inherited James' hair, and the Potter boys' hair was as strong and full as weeds. The position was tilted. Compared to them, Lily's hair was straight and shiny. From a distance, it looked like a flowing flame. "I know there is a spell that can solve it, Lily, if you don't mind-"
Harry faced a murderous look - from Snape who was already watching sensitively - and took out his wand and said tentatively. Lily chuckled and spread her hands: "Please, Frances - it can't do it anyway." It's even worse, I trust your level." The red-haired girl said simply.
Because of this confirmation, Harry felt a surge of great encouragement and surprise in his heart, and smiled unknowingly. He waved the wand three times, and at the same time, he pointed at Lily's long hair and gently circled it with his wrist like rolling marshmallows, then shook it like a rope, and tapped it again, and Lily found that her long hair was The hair was twisted obediently as if it was tied to the opponent's magic wand. Part of it was flexibly braided in the air, and part of it was slowly wound around the top of the head, properly tangled with the braid, as if a hairstylist was considering it. Then weave them in between - soon, a bun with girlish style was braided. It was placed on the back of Lily's head, and a few strands of red hair were generously left out, like a curling iron. The long hair becomes curled and hangs down gently.
"Wow," Lily came from a Muggle family after all. This was the first time she had seen this kind of curse with her own eyes. Harry even thoughtfully turned a cup into a mirror for her to see. Her eyes sparkled during the whole hair transformation process. , when her hair was put up, all her annoyance disappeared, "This is so beautiful! Thank you, Frances! But what kind of spell is this? I have never seen this kind of spell in the library! I mean, The effect it achieves is so detailed!”
Lily looks a bit like Hermione. Harry couldn't help but think. Because they all came to an unfamiliar world, they spontaneously obtained unknown information and knowledge from books. They were fascinated and never let one go, because they firmly believed that they would not be inferior to others because of their blood. Confident, hard-working and really smart, never complacent, curious about every unknown she doesn't understand.
"This hairstyle suits you very well, and it's very cool and light," Harry said, using his wand to show Lily the gestures and pronunciation, and winking, "And it's very time-saving. You don't need to spend half an hour tormenting yourself. That’s the convenience of being a witch.”
"Well, now I think it's good to change my hairstyle from time to time!" Lily liked her new hairstyle very much. She looked around with the conjured mirror and didn't notice what style the mirror in her hand was. "Although it's a bit heavy. , but I think it’s bearable.”
Harry instantly became ecstatic because of her bright smile, and he smiled as brightly as the sun, unaware that Draco was glaring at him from behind the bed curtain.
"Mirror, you idiot, mirror!"
Draco relied on the silencing charm and slapped the bed railing. He was so angry that he grabbed his wand and tried to cast the Transformation Charm on the mirror in Lily's hand before anyone else noticed.
In this era, a German pureblood with an ancient surname turned into a Muggle folding makeup mirror? Or plastic material, square style?
——You really can’t hang out with your dad’s ‘sisters’ at school every day, Harry Xavier!
Draco gritted his teeth and glanced around, forgetfulness swirling in his mouth. By the way, he scolded Harry like crazy - look what you have remembered. Before I came here, I saw someone holding this mirror while touching up makeup!
…………
"Oops," Lily watched as the mirror in her hand suddenly changed from a simple plastic square mirror to a mirror with a copper handle and a carved frame. She blinked, looked at her junior, and joked, "You are When you come back to your senses, do you feel that the style just now is not in line with your own aesthetics?"
Harry understood in an instant that he had made a big or small mistake, and broke out in a cold sweat. He knew it was Draco's fault without asking.
"Yes, that's right." He felt extremely guilty at the moment. "It was casual after all. This is more in line with my aesthetics."
"It's a pity that we can't take away the cup from the hospital wing." Lily liked this antique style very much. She took the mirror in her hand and looked at it with interest. "Otherwise, I would put it in my pocket and take it away. it's beautiful."
"Oh, you can look at it slowly, look at it slowly..." Harry wiped away cold sweat and stuttered, "...Oh, yes, it is based on the mirror of a relative of mine, my cousin, no, mine aunt."
At this moment, a hand was placed on his shoulder like a ghost. When Harry turned around, he suddenly saw a face that was 90% similar to his own and trembled.
"Come on, honey," James smiled very 'friendly' and the title was very affectionate, but with this tone, others would have known that he was unhappy, "Can you come with us?"
"When did you stop the war?" Harry looked around and saw that the small war had stopped, and Snape walked over calmly and stood next to Lily.
"It's okay, just come with us and let's exchange feelings." Sirius also smiled and imitated James and put his arm on the junior's shoulder. However, when Harry saw him, he seemed to be under a freezing spell. Coldly.
"Let go, Mr. Black," Harry tried to remember the anger and offense he felt when he found Sean peeking at the diary he kept when he was eight years old, and tried to act natural, "I have nothing to communicate with you." He didn't even look at Sirius, as if he really hated the man.
Sirius smiled instead of being angry, and said with a smile: "Don't say that, we are much more sincere than the snot-nosed people over there, right?"
Harry didn't answer him a word.
Lupine shook his head helplessly, picked up the school bag at hand and gave it to Sirius: "Speak carefully!"
Snape over there let out a somewhat gloating sneer, and Lily pulled out her wand and said, "Have you had enough? Are you saying that you even want to cause trouble for Francis? Potter, I'm talking about you, let go of Francis, and then Tell Black to stay away from him!”
The red-haired girl was furious, and she was ready to beat up Potter and Black's gang if they shamelessly bullied the second Slytherin tonight.
"No, no, no, it's okay, it's okay. I believe they are not here to bully me." Harry was worried that he would not have a chance to talk to his father, so he waved his hands quickly, "It would be good to talk about boys."
No, look what you're talking about, Harry! !
Harry was mentally scratching his hair manically, and he could even imagine Draco criticizing him from head to toe afterwards.
"That's right, the topic of boys-" James smiled a little ferociously. Obviously, he thought this was a provocation.
If Harry were ten years old, he would really expect his biological father to hug him, or put his arm around his shoulders like his father, telling him that his parents love him. And now, James's hand is on Harry's shoulder, but Harry I felt like he wanted to peel off his own skin, but I was also a little disappointed.
"Come on, tell me what your plans are for Lily," James said through gritted teeth to the junior, "I think you are a good guy, little Francis, you won't want to compete with me for my girlfriend!"
Harry wanted to plop down on his knees for his father. If he had a cup in his hand, he would squirt.
"How could you have such an idea!!" Harry almost screamed. This was exactly what he didn't want to see. He meant that his father had bad thoughts about him because he pleased his mother, "I I’m not trying to chase—chasing anyone or anything! I’m only in third grade!”
"Then you are so innocent and ruthless, Francis." Sirius came up again. The tall boy almost blocked Harry's retreat with one hand, "You are innocent to girls, but ruthless to us." .”
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Harry thought he suddenly heard the sound of Draco grinding his teeth. Draco would make this crunching sound when he gnashed his teeth particularly hard.
"I just want to make Lily happy," he tried to explain, remembering Draco's words not to be too eager, "She looks tired and distressed, I'm just giving her a little help."
He looked at James sincerely: "I still want to give you a little help."
James showed a curious expression and twitched his fingers at his younger brother. Harry immediately approached him knowingly: "I only told Lily the spell for bunting her hair. Does it look good? Do you want some advice?"
James felt like he was not telling lies, and his attitude towards his love rival suddenly improved a lot. He blinked wildly at Harry: "Say it, come on, I also want Lily to be happy because of me! What suggestions do you have?" ?”
"Lily feels that her hair is so long and heavy," Harry said, pretending to be mysterious. "I know a spell that can reduce the weight of long hair and make it more natural. Also, if she grows her hair long, If she falls in love with using the spell I taught her to do her hair, then she may be in need of some less expensive but cute hair accessories..."
After all, Lily usually has simple long hair, so she definitely doesn't have any hair accessories suitable for updos.
There was no need to say another word between the smart people. James immediately smiled brightly. He immediately liked Harry. He patted Harry on the back several times and gave him a hug: "You are indeed a good person! I know you are. It’s different from venomous snakes like Snotlout! Now I believe you are not pursuing Lily. If you are, you can do this in minutes!"
Harry couldn't help but smile too.
"I think it's a good idea to give some simple hair accessories," Lupin listened for a moment and agreed. "It's much better than James' previous bold plans to show his love, right, Padfoot."
"So, Lily isn't important to you? You really don't want to pursue her?" Sirius was still struggling with this issue.
Facing this godfather who was even more difficult to deal with than Draco when he was a boy, Harry's face immediately turned cold.
"You have three friends," he said forcefully, "Would you want to marry three of them together? Then I must let Regulus know about it."
Wormtail vomited quietly, Lupine tried hard not to laugh, and James laughed wildly.
"Stop embarrassing our little boy, Sirius! Look how unlovable you are!" James laughed and said, "I don't want the headline tomorrow to be that there was a foursome in our dormitory! Look at his mouth!"
"Prongs, this is not interesting for you," Sirius said nonchalantly, "I love you so much, but you are so heartless to me!"
Harry's eyes twitched as he realized how thick-skinned his godfather was, so he thought about it, turned around and left.
"I'm going to bed. Goodbye. I wish you sweet dreams."
In addition to saying good night to Lily, he returned to his bed almost without stopping. During this process, he kept a sullen face, as if someone owed him a hundred galleons.
It's a pity that he didn't know that this change of expression was not cold. Draco thought with a headache. After people had seen Harry smile, no one would find that level of indifference threatening, not Draco anyway.
Regarding Harry's expression control, he really had to think of a way.
…………
"Don't tell me, little Francis's ability to change his expression in a second is not bad," James said while stroking his chin. After Harry went back to sleep, Madam Pomfrey flew over soon and drove them back, so the four boys returned Gryffindor Tower, they gathered together for a bedtime communication, "But I still like the way he smiles. He is so handsome. The more he smiles, the more charming he will be."
"Do you really not care that he stole Lily's heart?" Lupine said with a smile, "Lily really likes talking to him."
"He's very considerate," Wormtail said as he felt a little more courageous in the dormitory. "He tied Lily's hair in a very beautiful way and taught her spells."
"Come on, guys," James said, "I don't think he's lying. The way he looked at Lily was nothing like that - maybe he doesn't have a sister, so he likes Lily who is friendly to him so much. You guys Look, he just transferred here, and Lily was the first person to show kindness to him in this school."
"I see you like him quite a bit," Lupin joked, "I repeat - they are all Lily's friends, Snape doesn't get this treatment."
"Well——" James thought for a second and admitted frankly, "Yes, I quite like him," he said, "But you have to know - this is because he is much friendlier than Snotlout. Much cuter and kinder than Snotlout."
"—I like you more than Snotlout." Sirius raised an eyebrow and James vomited.
"I don't want the snot-nosed guy to like me," he made a terrible disgusting expression, and threw the pillow at his buddy, "Don't tell scary stories, and don't make jokes about me and little Francis, they are just friendly and good. Help others.”
"Just because he tries to help you please Lily, you think he is helpful," Lupine chuckled, "You are so satisfied, Prongs."
"That's not true," James said proudly, "Chasing Lily is one of my life ideals!"
Oh, dull Prongs, innocent Prongs, you didn't see the way little Francis looked at you. Sirius thought.
——Compared to James's affection for his well-behaved junior fellow student, it is called abnormal.
