The day before Christmas, Draco returned to Malfoy Manor in a terrible knight bus, and spent a relatively peaceful Christmas, with no parties, no accidents, and only the company of relatives.On Christmas Day, Draco received a magic book on alchemy from Tom, Abraxas sent him a dozen beauty potions, old Malfoy gave him a new broomstick, and Mrs. Malfoy Bought a bunch of new robes for Draco.

Draco also returned gifts one by one. The gift he gave to Tom was an invisibility cloak ① bought in Diagon Alley. Although it was not as durable as the Scarhead Savior's, it was still good for night tours. choose.

In Draco's view, the Christmas holiday passed quickly. He just went to Little Hangleton and went to Diagon Alley a few times. By the time he recovered, it was already the start of school.Draco didn't know what Tom was doing during the Christmas holiday. He didn't go to work at the Lihen Bookstore. Draco went to the Lihen Bookstore during the holidays to browse around, but he didn't find Tom.

And when the two were communicating, Tom didn't say where he was, and he didn't even mention how Christmas was spent.

This made Draco even more curious about Tom's Christmas break after seeing him on the Hogwarts train.Tom was wearing a simple black school robe, his hair grew a little longer than before the holiday, his cheeks looked a little thinner, and he was taller again. Draco could swear that Tom was never this tall before the holiday. He looks even taller now. Like fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Mr. Riddle, what were you doing on vacation? Damn it, you didn't reply to my letter on time." The moment Draco saw Tom, Draco's concern about Tom being a half-breed was gone.It didn't seem to matter much whether Tom was half-blood, Tom Riddle was still Tom Riddle, he wouldn't be someone else, he wasn't like the Gaunts.

"I went on a trip, oh, you gave me a gift I like Draco very much." Tom smiled as he put his luggage on the luggage rack.

The door of the box was pushed open, and it was Kasim and Devlin.

"Hi, Draco, Tom, nice to meet you." Kasim dragged a big suitcase into the box. "I met some sweet-looking little girls at the holiday party, oh, but it's too bad that they actually go to Beauxbatons. If my father allows it, I really want to transfer to Beauxbatons."

"Then transfer to another school, Kassim!" Devlin couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and pushed Kassim to sit on the seat. He kept blocking the door, making it impossible for him to enter the box.

Draco raised his eyebrows, looked at Devlin's angry face, and couldn't figure out what could make Devlin's soft personality angry, "I don't think you can transfer to Kasim, I listen It is said that there are not many male students in Beauxbatons, although I think you will like it very much, but——” He drew a long voice and looked at Kassim with a smirk, “What will you do if you transfer to Devlin? Oh, me and Tom don't take him all the time, you know, sometimes we need to go it alone."

"..." Kasim choked for a moment, he didn't expect that he would also be teased by Draco, he shrugged indifferently, "Okay, maybe I can introduce a girlfriend to Devlin before I transfer to another school, actually Irene Prince in my first year is pretty good, you know, and she does very well in Potions."

Speaking of Irene Prince, Draco suddenly thought of the legendary Prince's collection of books.

After the troll incident, the relationship between Irene and Draco has suddenly improved. Although I can't be called a close friend, at least Irene will take the initiative to say hello when she sees Draco, which is better than when she cringed. It is much stronger not to interact with people.Moreover, Kasim and Devlin quickly got acquainted with her, and they even asked Irene to help them brew some uncommon potions.

Draco thought that their relationship with Irene Prince could be deepened a bit, so that he would have an excuse to visit Prince's library, oh, he'd been looking forward to that for a long time.Of course, Draco wasn't interested in the knowledge in the book, he just liked some aspects of the Dark Arts, and was interested in the more incisive parts of time travel.

Although because of Tom, Draco is not so obsessed with going back now, but since he has the opportunity to solve the mystery of time travel, why doesn't he do it?Maybe he'll get an Order of Merlin or something.

So when Draco saw Irene having trouble with her paper in the Slytherin common room after dinner one night, he offered to help her finish it.Irene was flattered to accept Draco's kindness, because she was really not good at Transfiguration class, and she had heard that Draco's Transfiguration class had never been lower than O.

With Draco's help, the first-year transfiguration paper obviously couldn't be an obstacle for Irene anymore, and they finished writing an eight-inch paper in only half an hour.

Irene stuffed the parchment into her schoolbag, and glanced at Draco nervously, "Senior Malfoy, thank you for your help, otherwise I'm afraid it will be very late."

"Oh, you're welcome Irene, you can call me Draco, don't call me Senior Malfoy, you have to understand that there are two Malfoys in Slytherin." Draco tried his best to look kind, but I'm afraid he didn't make an expression very well, because Irene looked more nervous.

In fact, Irene didn't notice Draco's expression at all, and the reason for her nervousness came from behind her.From the moment Draco helped her solve the paper, Irene could feel some kind of vague malice, although it was not obvious, but she always felt hairy behind her.And Adelaide Shafek, who was in the same grade as him, sat in front of him at some point, staring at him all the time, as if Irene had snatched something she loved.

This feeling was terrible, and Irene felt that she might as well ask Devlin or Kasim for help. Although the time to write the thesis might be doubled, at least there would be no illusion of suffocation.

Of course, Irene would not call Draco by his Christian name just as he intended. Just looking at Shafik's cold gaze made Irene feel that she was being implicated by Draco, not to mention that there was a malicious person behind him. a feeling of.She tried her best to be calm, and stuffed the parchment and textbooks on the table into her schoolbag, then raised her head and said goodbye to Draco: "Senior Malfoy, it's already late, I'm going to rest first, good night."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Draco to answer, he hurriedly ran to the girls' dormitory.

It's late?It's only eight o'clock at night!

Draco looked at Irene's leaving back with some annoyance, hell, why did he feel that the relationship with Irene not only didn't go any further, but made Irene Prince even more afraid of him?

Angrily, Draco sat back beside Tom, staring at Tom's serious face playing wizard chess, and finally couldn't help asking: "Am I laughing scarier than a troll? Irene just looked at my face , she seemed to have seen some kind of terrible magical creature, and then she turned around and ran away, what is wrong with this?"

Hearing Draco's complaints, Tom didn't even turn his head, and commanded his knights to smash Devlin's pawns into pieces before slowly speaking: "You shouldn't ask me Draco, I'm not Ai Lynn Prince, maybe you should ask me."

Tom's words sounded normal, but for some reason in Draco's ears, they always felt abnormally yin and yang.So he sat there not talking, just pursed his lips and watched Tom and Devlin play wizard chess.

In the days that followed, Draco still showed kindness to Irene Prince from time to time, but it was a pity that Irene avoided Draco like a troll. Lins' plan to collect books has repeatedly stalled.Irene's dodge made Draco feel frustrated, and at the same time, he found that Tom was fighting with him at some point.

In fact, they didn't fight at all, Tom still said good morning to Draco every morning, would be his partner in practical classes, and even slept with him in the same bed at night.

But Draco just finds the atmosphere between the two of them very weird, like Tom is holding back some kind of anger, and Draco has no idea what it is for, which is just terrible.

And this weird atmosphere continued until the first few days before the end of the semester...

Because in the third grade, they not only have to start choosing courses, but they can also go to Hogsmeade to play for a day on weekends.Going to Hogsmeade requires the consent of the guardian, which means that Tom must go back to the orphanage once during this holiday to obtain Mrs. Cole's signature.

Draco knew how much Tom didn't want to go back to the orphanage. Not only were there stinking Muggles there, but it was also a place that bored Tom since he was a child. If he had a choice, Tom would never step into an orphanage again. The gate of the courtyard.

Stuffing the application for going to Hogsmeade into the suitcase, Draco took the initiative to ask Tom: "During the vacation, if you agree, I can accompany you back to the orphanage."

Tom stopped packing his luggage and looked up at Draco, "I thought you wouldn't want to go back to the orphanage. Every time you mention the orphanage, you always have a nauseous expression."

"Of course I don't want to." Draco twitched the corner of his mouth. If it wasn't for Tom, why would he go to the orphanage so self-torturously? It's just that he wouldn't explain it to Tom. "You have to admit Tom, Mrs. Cole likes me more than you. I don't think it will take too long just to get an autograph."

After speaking, Draco saw Tom's obsidian eyes smile for the first time in three months, looking at Tom's face, Draco seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat.

"Since you think so, of course, you have to accompany me back to the orphanage Draco."
