Harry Potter: Miss Malfoy

"How terrifying! How could there be such a terrifying creature in the school? Fortunately, Potter came back with you..."

He's a nice guy. But, you're so scared that he became weak. You're too—"

"Parkinson's!"

The next morning, at the Slytherin table, Draco, Daphne and Pansy were still discussing last night's shock.

Seeing through Pansy's smirk, Draco felt embarrassed and tried to stop her with his face flushed with anger.

"You are so brave, you can go and see it yourself!"

"No thanks. I'm not that interested in breaking school rules."

Looking at Draco's embarrassment, Pansy smiled smugly.

Compared to my lively self, my two best friends are quiet and arrogant.

Seeing these two people with self-possession and temperament, feeling uncomfortable and shy in front of me, always makes me feel excited.

Draco just glared at Pansy with a hint of anger.

Then, he gently took the silver jug ​​of milk from Daphne's hand.

Add to the slightly stronger breakfast tea, lift the teaspoon and shake gently.

What I was thinking about was the scene that I had a quick glance at last night when I was panicking, but which left a deep impression on me.

Maybe it was because I was half squatting that I was able to find it.

There seemed to be a secret door under the feet of the three-headed dog.

I couldn't help but secretly doubt.

Professor Dumbledore's warning at the beginning of the school term, in addition to avoiding danger to students,

Does it also hint at what secrets are hidden in the secret door in the corridor on the third floor?

"Draco?"

It wasn't until Daphne called him softly that he came to his senses.

It turned out that while I was distracted and lost in thought, I had been gently stirring the teaspoon.

Silverware and porcelain cups intertwined, making a few crisp clinking sounds.

Draco stopped, held the cup handle, and took a sip.

He squinted his eyes and thought deeply.

"What are you thinking about so intently?"

"Or, who are you thinking about? Miss Malfoy?"

Even Pansy's mockery seemed elusive.

Not to mention Crabbe and Goyle sat back at the table and complained angrily.

I only vaguely heard a few words from Crabbe.

"We're both first-years, so why is he the only one who can have a broom?"

"And it's a Nimbus 2000!"

"Just because he's famous? That's so unfair."

It seemed that he was very angry about Harry Potter.

Mention Harry Potter and your thoughts will race.

My heartbeat seemed to quicken again, as if I was back to the situation last night when I faced the three-headed dog.

He frowned at the unprecedented feeling and unconsciously pressed his left palm against his chest.

I couldn't figure it out. At the end of last night,

How could such a rude man lend a helping hand like a gentleman?

After the adventure on duel night, Harry and Draco both restrained themselves a lot.

Draco still ignored Ron and Neville. At least, he was no longer competing with Harry whenever he got the chance, as he did at the beginning of the semester.

Although, they were still angry with each other in their hearts.

What Harry cared about was that Draco never thanked him.

Late that night, after all, I took a risk and accompanied Draco back to the Slytherin common room in the cellar before returning to Gryffindor Tower alone.

If it were an ordinary friend, Harry would definitely not care about such a small matter.

What made him unhappy was Draco's spoiled temper.

Especially since he always likes to talk about the etiquette of wealthy families, but now he can't even say a simple thank you.

Draco was certainly not without gratitude.

But every time he thought of how miserable he was that night, his face turned red with embarrassment and he was unable to speak.

Then, as far as my mind goes, I will always start to investigate it in detail.

If Harry Potter had not violated the duel agreement and brought a group of irrelevant people to disrupt the situation, they would not have been discovered by Filch, and they would not have accidentally entered the corridor on the third floor in their attempt to escape.

They both thought that the other was at fault, but they both remembered what happened when they faced the three-headed dog.

As our eyes met for a moment, my heart began to pound in my chest.

There were fewer verbal disputes, and when they occasionally passed each other on campus, they would just glare at each other and then quickly turn their heads away.

But of course, conflicts are inevitable in classes like Potions and Flying that are taught together.

But since the accident in the first class, Madam Hooch's attitude has softened a lot.

The course also progresses to explaining and memorizing the basic rules of Quidditch.

This made Draco always lose interest in class and have no desire to win.

Potions class was where Harry and Draco really had their arguments.

Harry's performance is actually not bad, it can even be said to be above average.

But in front of Hermione and Draco, such ability is definitely not eye-catching.

In addition, Professor Snape always promoted Draco and belittled Harry whenever he had the chance.

This made Potions a perfect opportunity for Slytherin to widen the gap in the House Cup.

Although two months is not a long time, it is enough for the news of the rivalry between Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy to spread throughout the campus.

-

What Draco has been more concerned about these days is Hermione Granger's increasingly eye-catching performance.

Although his performance in Potions class was on par with Granger's, judging from the comments of other professors, Granger was firmly ranked first in the grade whether in Charms, Herbology or Transfiguration.

(History of Magic was too boring, and the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts was too incompetent, so Draco automatically ignored the achievements of these two courses.)

In addition, he was surprised to discover during that adventure that she had also learned the full-body locking spell, which made Draco even more careful.

Is it really possible for someone from a Muggle family to be so talented in magic?

He secretly told Daphne that if possible, she hoped to catch Granger alone and have a good talk with her.

I thought this was an easy task, after all, the freshmen all knew.

Granger's aloof personality and outstanding academic performance meant that she had no classmates who could be called friends.

But because of this, Granger's footprints can only be seen in the cafeteria, classroom, library and lounge.

Apart from the impossible-to-enter lounge, there are always teachers or librarians in the remaining occasions.

Draco could only continue to bide his time, and the course finally moved away from the introduction of the comprehensive theory.

During the Charms class during Halloween week, Professor Flitwick finally announced,

All subsequent classes, except for the first half hour of explaining the spells, can be used to practice spells.

"Remember the wrist movement, the key is to swing and bounce, don't be too intense."

Next, the pronunciation and stress of the spell, be sure to remember it."

Professor Flitwick hadn't even finished practicing the levitation spell before the Slytherin freshmen were already waving their hands excitedly.

Crabbe's feathers, because of his excessive movement, were poked by the wand and exploded into ashes.

Gore's writing lay motionless on the table.

Careful Daphne, after testing a few more times, succeeded in making the feather float gently, but it fell onto the table when Pansy playfully tickled her.

What made Professor Flitwick very happy was that the three Slytherin daughters all succeeded in making the feathers float in the air.

"Very good, very good! Great!"

"Three people from Slytherin successfully cast a spell. This is the most outstanding class so far."

"You each earned fifteen points for the academy."

"I'll tell you how the Gryffindor new students perform in the next class!"

Professor Flitwick said excitedly as the class ended.

Draco Pansy and Daphne looked at each other and smiled smugly.

Compared to the strictness of Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape, this is the kind of encouragement that Professors Flitwick and Sprout particularly like.

Use the competitive spirit of competing for the house cup to motivate students to perform well in class.
