[Comprehensive] Digging a secret tunnel at Hogwarts

3.chapter 3



By the time Narcissa followed Mrs. King's instructions to find her twin sons in the ice cream shop, Harry had already been picked up by Hagrid.

"What did those two Malfoys say to you, Harry?"

Harry still held the ice cream Al bought him in his hand and kept licking it.

"Al told me a lot about Hogwarts, Hagrid, Draco doesn't talk much."

Harry bit off a large piece of almond in the middle of the ice cream and asked innocently: "Are all the wizards at Hogwarts so friendly?"

The big man staggered.

In all his life, he had never heard anyone use the words "Malfoy" and "friendly" together.

Despite his inherent prejudice against the Malfoy family, Hagrid still didn't want to ruin the impression of Harry's new friends. Maybe his children were good. Hagrid only implicitly mentioned that "you should be careful when interacting with Malfoy children. They have always looked down upon wizards who are not from pure-blood families." He also did not instill in the savior "where to go" as Al worried. Don't even want to go to Slytherin."

However, after hearing that his parents were in Gryffindor, Harry was already full of yearning for Gryffindor.

"Mom, I really can't believe that Al actually thinks that all four houses are the best. Slytherin is the best and other houses can't compare."

After seeing Narcissa, Draco couldn't wait to start filing a complaint against Al.

"Al, what did mother teach you?" Narcissa looked at Al reproachfully.

"But that's what the books say." Al shrugged, "There is no distinction between high and low, neither wizards nor academies. Hufflepuffs can also produce geniuses, but Slytherin has produced many idiots."

The three Malfoys thought of Crabbe and Goyle at the same time.

Although they are also pure blood, the children of these two families should not be mentioned.

"Where's the book?" Narcissa asked sensitively, fearing that her child would be poisoned by "bad books".

"It's from the library at home," Al replied.

Malfoy Manor is huge, and there are probably tens of thousands of books in the library. However, I was limited by my vocabulary, and Al had a slight headache when looking at pages full of densely packed English, so I only briefly read a few children's books.

Strangely, there were Muggle books mixed into the library, and Al also found a lot of Chinese books, which were very friendly.

"We also met Harry Potter. Al really liked him. He was very enthusiastic and even took him to eat ice cream."

Even across Narcissa, Al could hear the sour taste in Draco's words.

"Why aren't you happy? Didn't I treat you to some too?"

"That's different." Draco puffed up his cheeks angrily, "You're inviting him, and you're inviting me too."

Al only thought it was funny.

At such a young age, you already know how to be jealous.

Besides, Draco, you seem to be jealous of the wrong person.

Al's cutest character in Harry Potter is Deha. Although he didn't expect his brother to really like Harry, he still hoped that the two of them could have a good relationship.

When Narcissa asked, "Really, how does that child dress and behave?", several groups of red suddenly floated in Al's vision.

He couldn't help but move his gaze away.

The family's red hair is really eye-catching, especially among them a pair of identical tall twins. It looked like the Weasleys had just come out of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, each holding a stack of old books in their arms. Al was attracted by the twins, George and Fred. The twins were not like Al and Draco, who had little resemblance. They looked exactly the same, and even their parents couldn't tell them apart.

The twins were chatting about something, and the one who didn't know whether it was George or Fred had a wicked smile on his lips. He didn't know if he was trying to tease someone.

"Hey, Weasley."

Disdainful sneers suddenly sounded from beside him, and Al turned his head. Draco was already standing next to him at some point, looking at the group of red-haired people with undisguised disgust.

Weasley and Malfoy never liked each other. Al understood.

Unfortunately, he still thought the twins were quite interesting.

The Weasleys didn't notice them, and the Malfoys didn't want to seek that bad luck themselves. After coming out of Ollivander's shop, the two brothers each bought a wand of the same length. Draco's was a hawthorn wand, and Al's was a pine wand.

Pine wands often go to eccentric owners who may be considered unsociable, intriguing, or somewhat mysterious. Pine wands love to be used creatively, and unlike other wands, they accept new tricks and charms without rejection.

Many wandmakers insist that pine wands detect and work best with people who are destined to live long lives. Not even Garrick Ollivander had ever met the owner of a pine wand.

People die young. Moreover, the pine wand is a wand that is very sensitive to silent spells. 1

Al was actually particularly fascinated by the wood of wands for a while. The more he learned about it, the more clearly he felt Rowling's malice towards the Malfoy family.

There is an old superstition in Britain and Ireland that uprooting a hawthorn tree will bring a curse. Hawthorn makes for strange, paradoxical wands. Hawthorn wands have complex and intriguing natures, just like those best suited to their owners.

Rowling has indeed shaped Draco into a little bastard who is often contradictory and struggling with himself, swinging between justice and darkness.

Draco in the books is a jerk, no doubt about it.

And Al's wish since he came to Malfoy's house is to transform this little bastard into Well, at least, a good person.

Hope he can do it.

They went to the Wonder Pet Store because Al didn't want an owl. Draco already carried a cage in his hand, and inside it was an eagle owl, Caesar.

Al didn't like birds, he liked cute furry creatures. Draco teased him for being like a girl, but Al just ignored him.

Anyway, if they were to deliver the message, it would be nice if they both had Caesar. The eagle owl is not an obedient pet that you just want to hold in your arms, so why not get a furry little cutie?

Narcissa didn't like the smell of the pet store, so she waited for the two children outside the door. As soon as he entered the store, Al's eyes were attracted by a huge cage placed in the most conspicuous position.

Inside were a dozen kittens of several different breeds. Al leaned over and carefully touched the soft fur of a Persian cat with his fingers.

"Hi, little one," Al greeted the cat.

Draco looked at him like a fool.

The Persian cat ignored him, but a Siamese cat lying on the side stood up, with its two paws on the edge of the door, and the tip of its small dark nose kept sniffing Al's fingers. It looked to be only a month old, and was small, maybe only a little bigger than Al's hand.

"She's so cute, isn't she?" Al turned to ask Draco, but Draco, who had been standing next to him, disappeared and was replaced by a red-haired guy.

A Weasley.

Not sure if it was George or Fred.

"Uh" Weasley was obviously startled by Al's sudden question, "You're asking me"

of course not.

In line with the principle of being polite and giving others a step down, Al nodded.

"Oh, of course she is so beautiful, like a little angel." Weasley exclaimed exaggeratedly, but it was obvious that he was not just perfunctory, but truly felt so.

The little baby he had chosen was affirmed, and he felt very good even if it came from a Weasley, not to mention that he had no objection to Weasley himself. The other party's twin brother was not here either, and Alton felt that he was in the same boat.

"Hello, I'm Alris Malfoy."

"George Weasley." Now knowing that he was George, Weasley awkwardly stretched out his hand and shook Al's hand.

Al wanted to laugh for no reason. You know, this may be the first time in the history of the Malfoy family and the Weasley family that they have lived in peace.

After Weasley, who had just come in by chance, left, Draco, who mysteriously disappeared, reappeared.

His expression didn't look good: "Al, I didn't know you and Weasley still had a relationship."

"Don't start, Draco." Al didn't bother to pay attention to him, and called the store owner, preparing to buy this little Siamese cat that he fell in love with. "If you hadn't left suddenly, he wouldn't have thought that I was talking to him. While talking, Merlin suddenly struck up a conversation with a stranger. I feel embarrassed just thinking about it."

"You can't imagine it, brother."

"There was a Malfoy in the pet shop just now," he emphasized. "A Malfoy took the initiative to say hello to me."

"There's no way he doesn't know I'm a Weasley. I saw him when we were outside just now, with his brother and his mother. He kept staring at us."

"Could it be that my brother's charm has already captivated Malfoy?" Fred teased him with a smirk.

"Come on, Fred, I think he's probably out of his mind." George shrugged.

Al, who didn't know that he had been defined as "muddleheaded" by Weasley, recalled his achievements in Diagon Alley and met Harry Potter. It wouldn't be a bad idea to give him Slytherin in advance. The impression he made was that he brushed up his favorability in front of Hagrid, as well as the overly cute cat named Kiki in his arms.

Well, finally, I had a friendly chat with a Weasley, introduced each other, and shook hands.

Well, this one doesn’t count as an “achievement.”

Al hugged Kiki and returned home with Draco Narcissa satisfied.
