I, the Dark Lord, will definitely be a good principal!

???????

Angel was allowed to leave the school hospital on Sunday evening.

When he returned to his dorm room, Draco was furiously writing his history of magic paper, which was due on Monday.

Ingres finished writing that day, so he wasn't worried at all when he saw this.

"I only have a little bit left..." Draco said through gritted teeth.

Angell went over and took a look. On his desk, there was a draft that had clearly been written down after some prior discussion.

—Draco must have consulted with someone beforehand and drafted this paper.

He frowned in confusion. Draco discussing how to write a paper with someone... that was truly a strange thing.

Draco and Pansy aren't familiar with each other yet, and he looks down on Crabbe and Goyle's intelligence, so who did he consult with?

Draco wrote his last sentence on the paper, put down his pen, and let out a long sigh.

"I've finally finished writing. I had planned to write a bit a couple of days ago, but I've been busy with other things..."

He turned to look at Angell: "You're finally back. What did Madam Pomfrey say?"

Angel sighed helplessly: "It's not like that... But don't worry, I'm fine. Look, I'm perfectly alright now, aren't I?"

Draco looked him over carefully and made sure he looked much healthier than he had a few days ago.

"Don't you dare go out at night again! I was terrified that night!"

Angel nodded, returned to his seat, and casually asked, "Did you discuss your paper with anyone? I saw that draft paper; it didn't just have your notes on it."

Draco's expression was somewhat subtle: "It was Hermione Granger. I ran into her in the library today, and we talked about what happened Friday night..."

"Then they talked about the history of magic papers. Professor Binns gave Gryffindor the same topic as us."

Angel paused in his drinking motion.

“Hermione Granger?” he asked, somewhat uncertainly.

Draco and Hermione are discussing how to write their papers... What a bizarre scene!

He really found it hard to imagine Hermione being able to establish a good relationship with Draco... After all, the most obvious trait of the Malfoys, besides being opportunistic, is their arrogance; they should look down on Muggle wizards.

Hermione isn't the type to curry favor with the powerful, and given Draco's past antics with Ron and Neville, she should actually dislike him.

Could this be another example of his own butterfly effect?

No, what did I do?

Angell was confused.

Draco nodded: "We were mainly talking about what happened that night... He told me that the three-headed dog was standing on a trapdoor, as if it were guarding something."

"Do you think Dumbledore left that dog there? But what did he want to use that dog to protect?"

Angor's face also showed a bit of confusion: "That must be something quite important, which is why Dumbledore made such an arrangement."

“You were right before, no one can bypass Dumbledore and keep that three-headed dog at Hogwarts.”

"Something very important to Dumbledore..."

They continued their discussion for a while, but Draco realized that no matter which direction they started from, they ended up going in circles. So, in utter frustration, he ended the conversation.

"Forget about that... We really don't know enough. By the way, have you finished your homework? If not, Hermione and I came up with another idea today..."

Angel took his paper out of the drawer: "It's already finished. I advise you not to leave your assignments until the last day. If something unexpected happens, we won't be able to finish them!"

“This was an unexpected situation…” Draco turned and went into the bathroom.

For a period of time afterward, the plot developments were somewhat unexpected for Angel.

Hermione doesn't seem to get along very well with the other Gryffindors. Angor also recalled this part from the original book. This is a normal development, but... Hermione and Draco's relationship is unexpectedly good.

They were so close that if Angell hadn't been certain that their meeting was solely about academics, with the only unrelated question being what problems existed under the trapdoor, he would have assumed they were discussing something else entirely.

Angel often went to the library with them, but sometimes he went by himself and saw Hermione and Percy Weasley sitting together. Hermione and Percy got along quite well, and according to Hermione herself, Percy would often answer some of her questions.

One Saturday afternoon, in the Hogwarts library, Angor sat opposite the two men, watching them earnestly discuss something that shouldn't be in Hogwarts, and fell into deep thought.

"...I feel like the butterfly effect I've created this time is a bit too big."

Can anyone tell him why Draco is studying math with Hermione?!

"Wasn't it your principle of light refraction that opened the door to science for Draco, and then you even helped him find Muggle textbooks..." Vold sneered in his mind.

"Stop talking, I don't want to run into those two when I go to Muggle University to freeload books during summer vacation..." Angel rubbed his forehead.

"Speaking of which, Hermione's already studying exponential functions? No wonder she chose arithmetic divination... But we could choose that too; we haven't studied arithmetic divination before."

"I seriously doubt that Hermione would have delayed graduating even if she went to Germany to study if she hadn't become a wizard!"

"Alright, stop talking. Judging from their looks, they want us to solve this equation together..."

Yes, one day Hermione learned from Draco that Angle could teach her physics, and their study group became a trio.

Of course, they studied these things only after fully understanding the content of the class and completing the extension activities.

Angell was quite certain that if things continued this way, he would still be first in the class at the end of the semester, and the second and third places would definitely be taken by the two of them.

No one else will have a chance.

However, this also caused some negative impacts. The most obvious one is that because she got too close to Draco and Angle, Hermione's popularity in Gryffindor was even worse than in the original story.

The Gryffindor students didn't actually dislike Angor, after all, he had never done anything annoying, and he often pulled Draco back when he caused trouble.

But Draco... even though he hasn't caused any trouble during this time, what he did before was enough to make the Gryffindor students hate him.

"Halloween is next week... but we haven't even taught the Levitation Charm yet! This is so slow!"

After finishing his extracurricular activities for the day, Draco grumbled somewhat discontentedly as he packed up his books.

“If we move too fast, many people might not be able to keep up…” Hermione said. “Then see you at the same time tomorrow!”

She waved to the two of them, picked up her bag, and left the library first.
