Harry Potter: Miss Malfoy

"Besides, there's the World Cup being planned, and the Triwizard Tournament being planned."

"It should be seen as an opportunity to return to glory. How could it be that it missed key opportunities one after another?"

"If he misses one such opportunity before now, I'll eat Buckbeak alive."

Harry couldn't help but interrupt Sirius when he heard him say this.

"You are acquainted with Mr. Crouch, then?"

Before Sirius could reply, Draco spoke calmly.

"I suppose it was Mr. Crouch who sent Sirius to Azkaban."

-

This was something she had begun to suspect since the apprenticeship ball—

Draco's first appearance at the social festival ended in a quarrel because of the news of Sirius's prison break.

But when the news came, the most unpleasant expression in the audience was,

None more so than Mr. Crouch, who was so kind to him at the ball.

He also left the scene immediately, as if it was all his responsibility.

After his own guess, Sirius quickly took over the conversation.

He said that when Mr. Crouch was dealing with the Dark Lord and the Death Eaters,

How to fight violence with violence and quickly gain popularity.

But when the Dark Lord fell and he was about to reach the pinnacle of power, he fell heavily from the altar.

"His son has been arrested. He's in the cell next to mine. They say he's helping Voldemort to make a comeback."

"Mr. Crouch has a son?"

This time, it was Draco who was surprised.

When talking about his family, Mr. Crouch always only recalled his late wife sadly.

During the few social encounters, no one mentioned Mr. Crouch's family affairs.

Draco's question caused Sirius to sneer in disdain.

"Of course. Humph. It seems that he really treats his son as if he never existed."

"Judging from your reaction, those pure-blood clans are probably pretending that nothing happened and keeping silent about it, right?"

Draco could only nod in silence as Sirius said coldly.

“That’s why I hate this hypocritical culture.”

"So he's still in Azkaban?"

Harry tried to change Sirius' mood with questions, but to no avail.

"No, he died within a year of being incarcerated."

"Dementors can't see it. But they all get really excited when someone's dying."

“They can feel the breath of death.”

Sirius' tone was emotionless.

"Crouch is an important person after all, so they were allowed to visit his son for the last time."

"His wife was also very ill at that time."

"Not long after that, his son died. I guess his wife wouldn't live much longer either."

After finishing the story, Sirius returned to the topic.

"Listen, I'm just telling you this."

"It is definitely unusual for a person like Crouch, who values ​​his reputation above all else, to suddenly fall ill."

"Now even Skeeter is missing. This makes it even more suspicious. There must be someone behind this."

"That woman is worthless, but if she is still here,"

"These disappearances and Crouch's strange illness will definitely be reported in the news."

"It would only draw unnecessary attention to the conspirators."

Draco had been listening to Sirius's reasoning seriously, but when he heard this he couldn't help but cough a few times.

He suppressed the smile in his heart and asked Sirius the question that he cared about most.

"Harry told me that you escaped from prison,"

"It's taking advantage of the fact that Dementors can't see, but can only feel human emotions, right?"

After Sirius nodded, Draco bit his lip, stood up and walked towards the cave entrance.

However, at two or three in the afternoon, it was almost sunset.

Sirius came over as well.

"I'll take you back. Remember, stay alert at all times."

"Maybe the next time we meet will be at the Shrieking Shack."

As he spoke, he transformed into a black dog and walked down the mountain with Harry and Draco.

-

After returning to Hogsmeade, the crowd had already started to move towards the station, and the two quickly hid in the invisibility cloak again.

As they passed Madam Puddifoot's tea shop, Harry stopped suddenly and spoke apologetically.

"I'm sorry I accidentally kept it this late."

"Besides, this is the last Hogsmeade holiday of the year."

Harry's sincere eyes made Draco temporarily put aside the chaotic thoughts in his heart.

She turned around and smiled at Harry in the sunset.

Her long golden hair shone in the sunset.

A shy but happy smile struck Harry's heart.

"It's okay. You can come back next year."

"I can do my homework first and ask what the atmosphere is like inside."

"Then, don't forget, it was you who took the initiative to invite me. I am just accompanying you."

Looking at Draco's stubborn look, Harry swore secretly in his heart.

You must protect this smile.

-

Back at Hogwarts, Draco stepped into the familiar cellar after dinner.

As soon as he walked in, Snape rolled up his left sleeve.

A totem was revealed, its color was still light, but its outline was already very clear.

Indeed, it is the Dark Mark.

Draco frowned and Snape spoke softly.

"Your Occlumency should be ready."

"Before that, Severus, can I ask you a quick question?"

"Please say."

"Is it possible for a person to fake his own death and exchange bodies to deceive the Dementors and escape from Azkaban?"
