Chapter 198 You Always Have a Choice
When Draco arrived at the ward, he was quickly taken to another compartment.
In the compartment, there were two more beds with curtains drawn.
Through the partition window, Harry could faintly hear the Weasleys surrounding him.
Then Dumbledore arrived.
He was explaining something in a hurry, and his voice sounded distant and old.
Then Professor Fudge and Professor McGonagall walked in.
Draco had never heard Professor McGonagall so angry.
I never thought that Fudge could only stammer in his defense.
Then there seemed to be some dispute and Fudge left angrily.
After Fudge left, Mrs. Weasley was heard screaming "Sirius Black".
The loud voice and high pitch gave Draco a headache.
Calm down and take out a small bag from your arms.
After taking out a pen and paper, he raised his wand and made the bag vanish into thin air.
This is the last letter.
Although my mind is in a mess, I still want to say something.
I had just started writing when the voices of Dumbledore and Severus were approaching through the door.
"Severus, you know what I want you to do."
"If you're willing...if you're ready..."
"I'm ready."
The door opened, and Severus looked much paler than usual, with a strange glow in his eyes.
He stepped into the door and hugged himself without saying a word.
Then he walked out of the ward, leaving Dumbledore with rare words of concern.
"Good luck, Severus."
Then, Dumbledore turned his back to Draco and spoke loudly enough for the entire ward to hear.
"I have to go downstairs. I have to see Mr. and Mrs. Diggory."
"Harry, drink the rest of the potion, I'll come back to you later."
Then, whisper in a voice that only you can hear.
"Go keep Harry company. And if Severus succeeds—"
"You have to go home and he will come back to pick you up."
Before leaving, he looked at himself earnestly.
"Draco, hopefully this is just a little bit of a detour."
-
Looking inside the ward, Dumbledore, Sirius and Severus were nowhere to be seen.
Draco stood up with mixed feelings and walked out the door.
Harry was being hugged by Mrs. Weasley.
The rest of the Weasley family and Hermione looked at him in silence.
Hermione dropped the teacup in her hand carelessly.
The noise of the crash caused Harry to break free from Mrs. Weasley's motherly caress.
Finally, the two met each other's eyes again.
Before they could feel too much emotion from each other, Harry came over.
Her emerald green eyes were filled with sadness and despair, and only began to light up when she saw herself.
It didn't take Legilimency to sense the grief that was about to burst out from Harry's heart.
Ignoring the Weasleys and Ron's open-mouthed surprise, he let Harry hold him tightly in his arms.
She stretched out her right hand and stroked the scar on his forehead with infinite pity.
"It hurts, doesn't it?"
Before he could finish his words, Harry suddenly used all his strength to lock himself up, pressing himself so hard that he felt uncomfortable.
Biting her lip tightly, enduring the pain.
I simply thought that maybe this would help Harry share his pain.
He felt Harry leaning into his shoulder and began to tremble all over.
"No need to be patient."
Draco spoke softly, and a wet heat instantly spread across his shoulders and neck. Harry's silent sobs could be heard on his shoulder.
Harry's crying attracted him, and the dried tears on his face became wet again.
They snuggled together like this, and the tears that never stopped soaked the air in the ward.
The humid and warm atmosphere seemed to bring the two back to the scene a few months ago when they first set foot on the shore of Black Lake.
That is a simplicity that cannot be expected.
In the silent embrace and tears, I don't know how long it took.
Until a dark figure slowly stepped into the door of the ward.
Snape came back and waited quietly at the door, like the silver herding deer that delivered the message.
Draco gently pushed Harry away, holding the creased letter in his hand.
It was hastily written in the cubicle not long ago.
Harry was confused.
Draco just silently pressed the letter against Harry's chest and waited for Harry to take it in a daze.
I wanted to kiss his cracked lips once again, but I couldn't muster up the courage to do it in front of so many people.
I could only speak with unwilling sobs.
"sorry."
He lowered his head and walked over to Severus, thinking about what Sirius said when he first met him.
Maybe he was right, I really didn't have the courage.
Before Harry could react, he and Severus had already walked out of the ward.
Harry was left looking at the contents of the letter.
Harry's eyes, which had just stopped crying, became wet again, and he could hardly make out the words.
I could only stare at the letter with tears in my eyes until finally,
His tired eyes came alive again because of the sparks that were aroused.
-
The anxiety about what was about to happen finally overwhelmed the emotions that had been tormenting Draco all night.
Following Severus's wordless steps out of the castle and across the campus border.
Arriving at the door, Severus raised his hand.
Before fading away, he spoke once more.
“Remember, you always have a choice.”
-
When they appeared at the gate of Malfoy Manor, the manor was filled with figures wearing black cloaks.
The lights on the first floor of the main house were bright, and the familiar home seemed strange at this moment.
He and Snape walked in slowly, and the gathered figures retreated to the sides, as if welcoming their return.
On the steps at the door of the house stood a tall and thin figure that seemed to be shrouded in black mist.
"Draco Malfoy. Finally."
The figure in front of him, wearing a long black cloak, took off his hood, revealing a smooth face that did not look like a human.
After taking a deep breath, he called his own name softly in a high-pitched voice.
Everything about him exudes danger because of its extreme incoordination.
His breathing was slow and long, but the sound of his mouth was like asthma.
The words were gentle, yet ferociously dug out the fear from the bottom of my heart.
Then he stretched out his bony, slender fingers.
His skin was pale and his nails looked uncut.
I found myself trembling under his gaze and could only keep reminding myself to focus.
The other party's blood-red pupils narrowed into lines.
He seemed confused because he couldn't decipher his own mind.
Then he opened his mouth excitedly, and a hissing sound surrounded him like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
"Welcome. Nice to meet you."
Draco looked up at the Dark Lord.
He could only remind himself to keep the brain closed tightly, and his fingertips were almost trembling with fear.
The fair face was like dead water.
-
Originally, it should have been a nice summer.
In the Hogwarts ward, Harry held the crumpled letter tightly in his trembling hands.
Draco's handwriting had been stained into black by the tears and was gradually becoming blurred.
I can only vaguely guess the emotions contained in the words that could not be expressed in words.
Harry clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.
?My dear Harry,
Good to see you're okay.
Don't reply, okay? Promise me.
You have to be good.
Finally, there is something I have always wanted to tell you, but after we got together, I didn’t have the chance to say it.
I am really, really, so happy——————
The data remains unchanged...
Still asking for gifts (recently, there are very few people who are generating electricity for love. There are dozens of people asking for updates, but few of them are generating electricity for love. Of course, there are also very few people asking for updates). Asking for various free and paid gifts!!! Give them to generate electricity for love! (It’s just a matter of watching a 15s advertisement)
The plan for additional chapters is still the same (if the amount reaches 100 yuan within a week, there will be additional chapters, and each For Love Author can get 1), but the gap last week was a bit big (you can also see it from the thank-you post), and it is still far from the line for additional chapters... Can this be said to be hard work this week!
