The Rise of Malfoy at Hogwarts

　　 Schelling was wandering around in the Bokimbock store. He saw a glass box in front of the counter with a shriveled hand on a mat, and a few candles beside it. He vaguely remembered that this thing was called the Hand of Glory. After putting the candle, the candle light only illuminates the holder, and it is a good helper for thieves and robbers. I have to say that this thing is very practical, but when he thinks of holding another person's corpse in his hand, he burps in his heart. Xie Lin shook his head and kept watching. On the counter are all kinds of human bones, a poker card stained with blood, and a glass eyeball that always stares at people. There are scary masks on the walls, and strings of rusty, long, sharp instruments hang from the ceiling.

Draco was studying a long noose, and smirked and read the sign on a luxurious opal necklace: Beware: Don't touch it, it has been cursed-it has taken the lives of nineteen Muggles . Suddenly he caught a glimpse of a large cabinet with a peculiar shape, pointed to the cabinet and said, "Xie Lin, look at this cabinet, it seems very interesting!"

　　 Schelling's heart jumped, if he guessed correctly, Harry was hiding in this cabinet at the moment. Xie Lin said indifferently: "This is a vanishing cabinet. Many ancient wizard families will collect one. It can be used to escape when a disaster strikes. It is a very practical thing. Unfortunately, because it is expensive to build, and later appeared more convenient. The Apparition Magic, the Vanishing Cabinet is slowly being eliminated, and its production method has been lost to this day...Well, Draco, I think the father's business is about to be completed, let's get ready to leave!"

After leaving Knockoff Alley, Draco eagerly took Lucius to buy a flying broom, while Schelling, who was not interested in this, separated from the two. He planned to go to the bookstore to help himself and Draco. Buy the book list and read a book there by the way.

On the way Schelling went to the Lihen Bookstore to buy textbooks, a tall man in the middle of the road inevitably attracted Schelling’s attention, although Schelling had never beaten the Hogwarts hunting guard. Dealt, but he recognized it as Hagrid at a glance, because his height was too prominent. Standing beside him was Harry Potter with bruised skin, soot covered in soot, glasses shattered, and an embarrassed face. It seemed that Harry was being reprimanded by Hagrid. Although Hagrid tried to lower his voice, his huge voice undoubtedly allowed Schelling to hear him clearly. "Walking around in Knockoff Alley, don't you know that it's not a good place, Harry, don't let anyone see you there!"

While being scolded, Hermione and the Wesley family came, and Harry hesitated to explain, "We saw the Malfoy family, Draco, Schelling, and his father went to the Bojinbok shop. A shop specializing in dark magic items."

　　 "Oh, what did you find?" Mr. Wesley asked warily.

"Nothing. I watched outside the window for a long time until they left and didn't see them buying anything!" Harry looked at Hagrid and asked, "Hagrid, we are following Malfoy, you are here What are you doing in Knockturn Alley?"

　　 "I'm looking for a medicine to repel carnivorous slugs, they are about to ruin the school cabbage!" Hagrid said gruffly.

　　 Hearing this, Xie Lin was not interested in staying there to listen to the meaningless conversations of a few people, and then went to Lihen Bookstore. Although his father was concealing himself and Draco, Schelling, who was familiar with the plot, already knew that his father's purpose of going to the blog shop was simply because he was recently checked too closely by Arthur Wesley, who had always been at odds with him in the Ministry of Magic. He wanted to take Tom Riddle's diary to the Bojinbok shop to dispose of, but he didn't know that this diary was one of his master's Horcruxes. His actions would directly lead to a series of tragedies in Malfoy's family a few years later. As for Mr. Bojin, the owner of Bojinbok, he is a shrewd man who can stand up in the chaotic and disorderly Knockdown Alley. How could he take this troublesome mess?

　　 It seems that I have to hurry to the Lihen Bookstore. I am afraid there will be a good show in front of the bookstore later.

　　 Xie Lin hurried to the bookstore, bought all the textbooks, and found an unobtrusive corner to quietly wait for the beginning of the plot.

When Harry and his party came to the Lihen Bookstore, a large group of people had already gathered at the door of the bookstore. Most of them were witches of Mrs. Wesley’s age. I saw Guidro Lockhart, wearing a blue wizard robe, sitting in the middle of the shop signing a book. Around him, there were large-scale photos of himself everywhere. The faces in the photos were all blinking at the crowd, showing dazzling white teeth. Schelling had to admit that Lockhart was a successful writer if he didn't try to misappropriate the experience of others.

　　 Needless to say the next thing, Harry was discovered by Lockhart without accident, and then he was dragged in to take a photo together. Lockhart announced that he would teach at Hogwarts. When everyone came back, they found Arthur Wesley and Lucius Malfoy fighting together, and even Ginny's cauldron was flying out, making a bang. Lockhart, who was standing on the side, was extremely excited, and then the two were separated by Hagrid who suddenly appeared.

　　 Mr. Wesley's lips were torn, Lucius's eye was smashed by a thick book, and Ginny's shabby transfiguration textbook was still pinched in his hand. Ginny next to her had already picked up the cauldron. Lucius saw it and stuffed the book into her cauldron with a vicious light shining in her eyes. When everyone’s attention was focused on Arthur Wesley, Schelling had been observing the tattered "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" in Ginny’s hands. If nothing else, it should be mixed up at this time. A black diary.

"Hey, little girl, take your book! This is the best thing your dad can give you." He broke free of Hagrid's arm and waved to Draco and Schelling who was still in the bookstore. He rushed out of the shop without going back.

"You shouldn't pay attention to him, Arthur." Hagrid reached out to smooth Mr. Wesley's robe and almost lifted him up. "This guy is so bad, they are all in the family, everyone knows. The Malfoys People's words are not worth listening to. The blood on their bodies is bad, that's how it is."

　　 Even if Schelling had left the Lihen Bookstore for a long time, he could still hear Hagrid’s loud voice clearly—I went, and was shot while lying down, and Schelling, with Malfoy's blood on his body, secretly spit out in his heart. It seems that it will be difficult to win Hagrid's favor or get his help in Hogwarts in the future.

After the three returned to Malfoy’s exclusive parking space, although Lucius was beaten by Arthur, he could see that he was in a good mood, presumably because he successfully transferred Tom Riddle’s diary to the poor little boy of Wesley’s family. The girl. Then the family of four boarded the carriage and flew to Malfoy Manor again. I have to say that compared to the various ways of movement known by Schelling in the wizarding world, such as Floo fans, door keys, phantom manifestations, etc., the fast, stable, and bumpless night horse carriage is definitely the most comfortable way. one.

The three were silent along the way. Lucius showed a thoughtful expression on the road. When he was about to arrive in Wiltshire, he suddenly spoke to Draco and Schelling and said, "Listen, this year's Hogg Some accidents may happen to Woz, but it has nothing to do with the two of you. Just remember to do your duty as a Malfoy and maintain a clear and safe attitude."

Draco relied on his father’s favor and asked reluctantly for a while before Lucius was relieved. “Fifty years ago, when I was not born, there was an accident in Hogwarts. That accident I can’t say about the specific situation. There was a Mudblood girl who died in this accident. Hogwarts covered it up, so not many people knew about it. You just need to know that this is a target You don’t need to know too much about the mudblood’s conspiracy. Knowing too much will only make you suspicious. Also, Draco, this year you will learn from me. As a noble Malfoy, you last year My grade rank is actually no better than a lowly Mudblood. To be honest, you really disappoint me. Look at Schelling, this is indeed my Lucius's son. You have to learn more from your brother!"

　　 It's rare for Draco to see his father being so strict with him, and he only agreed.

　　 That night, Schelling was tossed and awake because of his mental entanglement. According to the development of the plot, Tom Riddle's diary will eventually be destroyed by the savior Harry Potter, and Voldemort also lost a life-saving Horcrux. This was all the reason why his father offended Voldemort, and it also led to all kinds of cruel punishments by Voldemort to his father and brother. Moreover, Malfoy Manor was chosen by Voldemort as the base camp of the Death Eaters, which made the whole family live in fear of being unable to escape. . After Voldemort's defeat, his father was sent to Azkaban. Even if he was later released from prison, he would not be able to save the fate of the family's decline.

He wondered whether he wanted to find a way to retrieve the diary from Ginny and eliminate Lucius’s fault directly from the source, or let the plot develop in the direction he was familiar with so that he could continue to retain the advantage of the plot. The various gains and losses in the middle made him hesitate. However, the most important thing is that Schelling at this moment has to face the question he has been avoiding since he crossed: what kind of role he has to play in the world that he crosses. If he follows the character of his previous life, he can escape the family and return to the Muggle world to live. With the knowledge and experience accumulated in his previous life, he will rebuild a successful career and life. Not difficult. Helplessly, every time he faced this choice, he couldn't be cruel to give up the rare family affection in this life.

When the first light of dawn arrived, after a whole night of thinking, Xie Lin's eyebrows were free of confusion and hesitation, his eyes burst with unprecedented firmness and conviction, and he felt an invisible force slowing down from his abdomen. Rising, spreading to the chest and limbs, the whole person seemed to be reborn and full of strength, because at this moment, he finally found the courage to face fate, and finally had a firm direction for his future, "Since God let me To live again in this brand new world, then I should bravely face my destiny! In order to protect my relatives, I cannot join the Order of the Phoenix. To protect the glory of the family, I cannot join the Death Eaters, my destiny. I must be the master!"

　　 Let’s not talk about success or not, even if I really succeed in regaining my diary, what about? Voldemort will eventually be defeated, and his father wrongly chose the Death Eaters camp, which is destined to lead the family to irreversible decline; even if Schelling changed the plot to let Voldemort win the final victory, his madness still has a strong destructive character. It is not in the family's interest. What the family has never wanted is to eliminate the Muggle wizards, but to always maintain a superior power over the Muggle wizards. It's better to let the plot follow the predetermined development in the original book, at least Schelling can still retain the plot advantage. What Schelling should do at this moment is to use the advantage of the plot to grow stronger. As long as oneself is strong, revitalizing the family is not a matter of a word? This year is the year when the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets has opened, and it is time to plan how to get the best benefit from this storm.
