Chapter 33: thoughts and feelings (IV)

/ Draco, in the library/

Divination, divination … Where is this scarf shelf? Ryry takes charge of the history of Magic and I of the divination, it is fair. I wonder where he is going to find notes. But I rely on him, he will not disappoint me! Then, I was there where already? Ha yes, the symbols and the interpretations of divination. A beautiful tissue of stupidities to my opinion, but it is the program … And with this old owl … It is not Ryry who is on the other side of the shelf? What is he doing? Who does he call, there? Hermione? Granger! He calls Granger?!!? He is crazy or what?!!?

/ Draco, in the library, chapter 19/

She kisses my Ryry?!!? She is crazy, no? What they say, I hear nothing! Ha yes, it is better there! She has some voice Granger when she roars! Perfect! At least, I hear everything now! The notes of History of Magic? He wants to ask Granger for them? Why not! It is the only one who does not sleep during the courses … He is a genius, my Ryry, when he wants finally especially when it is necessary! She stands firm! She wants not to give him her notes! That is going not to kill her to lend them to us five minutes, no? I dream! He makes her the eyes of beaten puppy, he will still kill me this one! That works! She cracks give him !I bet that she just gives them to him because she knows that I am more endowed than her, there! It is a scandal! You should never laugh at the misfortune of the others!

Even if generally, I am always the first one! I loathe when that falls on me! Well, for once it is for the good cause! She is going to make it! Just so that Ryry has a good note! I like this girl! Weasley does not work current, excellent news! Disappeared? How's that my Ryry disappeared? They are all delirious! He is under their nose! How Malfoy? It is Potter who disappeared, not my Ryry! And why she seems so close to him as with Potter? Unless not, it is impossible! And nevertheless … The only possible explanation is that my Ryry is … Saint … Potter!! I believe that everything turns around me. Everything falls out …

What happened ? Why am I on the ground? Who crush me, there? I have the impression to have a koala collided on the neck, like in the infirmary. It is Ryry … No, it is Potter! My small brother is only a lie … He played with me, he hates me … He speaks to me … He murmurs to my ear, he seems so sad, I believe that he is going to cry … I am again going to have a pond on my shirt, help please … Did I dream about my small brother? No, he was very real. I had finally somebody with whom to amuse me and who understood me.

Somebody who did not judge me, who really knew me. Can I spoil everything now? No, I have finally a small brother. I know that he likes me. I do not want to spoil our friendship now. He is not the one that I knew before. It is the real Harry whom I know, not the one who plays the heroes as we expect him to do. I know that he is sincere when he says that he did not want to lie to me I feel it. I either, I do not want to lie to him by saying to him that he is nothing more for me. I shall miss him too much at the moment. Few imports me whether he was Harry Potter before, he is Harry Malfoy now and it is all which counts.

It is my small brother and I like him, no matter what he does and who he really is. Potter was only an illusion, Ryry Malfoy is the reality. Yes, it is my Ryry and it is everything! I take him in my arms to calm him. I like him, this bird there! I like ruffling his hair! He looks at me with the big wet green eyes. How could I not see anything before? He is always so crazy! He always had a gift to bring troubles! He remains as motionless as a statue. I put a kiss on his cheek to show him that I am not angry with him and that nevertheless he is my small favourite brother . He apologizes, it is really too much cabbage! We would say a poor kitten with ears and low tail which knows that he made an enormous stupidity! Say that I wondered why he reminded me a kitten. It is a lion, finally he was! He is now with us snakes and he stays there! Behind him, Granger remains motionless silently; she looks at us as if she had never seen me. So what? I am not going to roar on my small Ryry, no? If I had paid a little more attention, I shall have guessed it at once seen the number of blunders which he made since the beginning!

Apparently, Granger was faster than I this time! It is like that better, otherwise I would certainly have rejected him. Severus knows? I shall have wanted to see that! And take a photo, naturally! Without a warning, I roar by imagining the head of my godfather by discovering the truth on Ryry, the poor copies had to suffer … Speaking of the devil and he appears! He frightened me by arriving like that! I have a fragile heart, me! He embarks us all three on his office, what does he want with us? He does not look like surprised to see us with Granger …

/ Severus, arriving in the library/

I have two words to say to the twins, if I could find Miss Granger and convince her to help them, that would arrange me but it will not be simple. She is stubborn like a dragon and then she is Griffyndor! That is not going to facilitate me things. She ,at least, I am sure to find her in the library! She will soon have stopped destroying all the books which are there! Here is! With … Ryry and Draco? Seen the head of Draco and the small appearance of Ryry, I bet that Draco discovered everything. That does not seem to take place badly. Miss Granger says nothing either. How's that I emptied a bottle of whiskey by correcting copies by learning the true about Ryry? It is defamation! I have never done that I! While telling things like that the students tell that I am in vampire! Anything! Voucher. Armistice of gossips, I have to speak to them. But not in the library, I take them in a classroom at the bottom of dungeons.

I show them the small lounge hidden at the bottom where I let them settle down. I let them discuss while I order some tea and cakes to an elf before settling in my armchair. The atmosphere is quiet) and relaxed. Bizarre that Draco gets along with Miss Granger, but so much the better for me! Draco looks like irritated after his father. Lucius is going to hear about this story! Rather him than me! Anyway, he has to expect it. That had to arrive sooner or later. That will occupy him one moment! He who so misses his children in his office with his papers, that will occupy him! I believe that the fact of saying to him how I discovered everything calm little Draco. He makes fun of me even more! Even Miss Granger laughs, we shall have seen everything!

The tea arrives and the silence falls again. They are all eating cakes. I believe that it's time to return to the skin of the professor! I ask them what they intend to do for this wretched reform. Why that does not amaze me that Draco thinks that she comes from Lucius? It is true that that would indeed look like him but you should not exaggerate all the same! He is not crazy either! I ask them what they were doing in the library. Miss Granger tries to made Weasley work? She has courage! He does not work anymore! It is not as if he already made a lot before, but there, it is anything more! Harry who looked for her for the notes of History of Magic, the seen classic that it is the only one not to sleep during the course.

Even I, I shall have badly had to remain woken till the end. And Draco looked for the divination. It's good, they get organized slowly! They do not know what to do to revise? The three better students of the school? It is really the end, there! Because they do not know, me I know even if that is not going to please everybody! I believe that my idea woke them! Nobody looked like against my idea to work together. That should indeed work then! Anyway, they have no choice! The mutual aid is the only solution or they will all sink! Everybody agrees? Perfect! It does not more remain than to get organized!

/Hermione, chapter 20/

To work with Harry and Draco? Why not! It will certainly be more enriching than with Ron! And at least I am sure that I can work without being disturbed! Where have I to sign? It will be necessary to pay attention on the practical tests! They are very capable of taking out us of meanness! For the divination, we can only learn everything and pray so that we fall on an easy work and a possible practical test! The History of Magic? He is right Draco! But I, I have an trump card in the sleeve and that, I am the only one to know it! I was right! They are all open-mouthed even the teacher! How's that, I missed my vocation for Slytherin? He is well placed to say that to me, Ryry! Ha voucher? Draco did not know that it was because of him that Ryry had gone to Griffyndor? But about what they speak all day long? Of weather?

/Severus/

Slytherin? Harry in my house? And now we say it to me! Sacrilege! We steal me my students! And in the fact, she made the same things ? Very good question Draco! That also interests me! Slytherin also! Thus like! Why that does not amaze me?!!? My two better elements are crossed to me under the nose! But we are going to rectify it at once! Minerva will have to fill her students quota somewhere else that in mine! That will make for her feet! The Cup belongs to me! She should be on my desk for six years! This year, she will belong to me! I am going to decorate my desk with! The first one who tries to pinch her to me, I will kill him! Stop!

At first, it is necessary to know if she wants to come in my House! That's right, not be made of false enjoyment! But it is necessary to be honest: choose between Weasley who does nothing more and the twins with whom she can work and enjoy herself, I am already certain about her answer! I am going to ask her all the same the question by professional concern. She said yes!!! I was sure of it! I am going to win the Cup!!! Hum … WE are going to win the Cup. It is the students who win points not me. I deprive it only to the others … Even if that also helps … And so much whom we are there, are they others like that who left? No, nobody? What a pity! I wonder what she managed to dig out of the old man Binns … Draco asks her, it is perfect. Well, a small blow of magic wand and hup! She( has a new uniform of Slytherin! The green and the silver suit her very well! A what? QCM? It is what that? Another new Muggle invention!!?

Certainly, they are all madmen! A very precise questionnaire? It is interesting that! I feel that I am going to revise my system of homework to replace some some by that, I am sure that it will be very funny. And it will certainly be much less long to correct! An answer: a point, no answer: 0, bad answer: a point less. Notes are going to be bloody! Perfect! There will be some more of work in the course of potions! But on the other hand,Harry is right. With the similar method, I am going to drag myself the dunces still during forty years! Help me! Salazar and Merlin spare me that! I see only a single solution so that everybody makes a success: keep repeating my course during the two hours every time! I am soon going to be able to buy myself a parrot who will repeat them instead of me, that will rest me!

/Severus, chapter 21/

It is over for the revisions! Least that we can say, it is that they put all theirs heart in the work all three! Due to intending them to recite their courses, I am soon going to be able to take the examinations instead of them! Every evening, it is the same thing! They arrive, they revise and learn by heart the courses by engulfing the tea, the cakes and the cake pastries of the house elves. During this time, I correct the copies which are about to dawdle on my desk. And I ask them questions to see if they held everything! That seems to go. I am very satisfied to have finished with these studies! I shall have already lost my head with all that they have to learn! It is brainwashing! Thanks to the Ministry to take charge so well of the education of our children! You bet! He dulls them, yes!

Fortunately the Board of Governors is there! Otherwise, they would have already put us of these stupid subjects! We have already the courses of Muggle cooking or to do fashionable Muggle household! It is the total frenzy! Fortunately, thanks to the good care of Lucius, all the idiots who proposed this kind of things already took the door. It is necessary to say that he is well right. The education is one thing, the crazyness is the other one. By speaking about Lucius, the twins were not supposed to write to him? They just come back from Divination, History of the magic and Magical Creatures, let us see it! They seem all very tired. I call her now by her first name. She is very nice with me finally. Other students also seem to appreciate her. It is a true small genius, the Cup belongs to us. That, I believe that the others understood it. With these three, the other Houses will not make the weight! I am going to let them learn for the next examinations before speaking to them about Lucius, it is better! Finished revisions? Perfect! Let us pass to Lucius! They seem to have completely forgotten their promise! They make one of these face! I know one who is going to be packed when he will know that! That's it! They are going to write him a small word and then here is!

I am sure that Draco is going to take advantage of it to have his small vengeance with his father … It is moreover surprising that he did not land yet here! It has been two weeks since they wrote him … It is good that he learns the patience! He risks to need it with these both!

/ Lucius, in his office of the Malfoy Manor /

Another new law for the protection of Muggles? Certainly, it is raining there every day at the moment! It would really be necessary to lock all the idiots who lay them to us! Or then send them to live with Muggles! Like that, they would be satisfied! Who I s this? Hedwige? What is she doing there? It is already the hour of the mail? Let us see that. A red envelope? It is a declaration of love? No, worse!! An howler!! Too late, she exploded! It is the magnificent voice of my small dragon. What is it this time ? Ryry? He knows everything? He writes me only to say me that he discovered everything! It has been a long time since I know it, me! Ryry and Harry Potter are only one, it is not a new thing! Even Severus knows it! Even if he did not ask for it so much … The reform? Which reform? Haaaa!!!!! This reform! I had already forgotten it! I am there for nothing, there! Even if a little of supplementary work will not hurt them! We do not die for so little! In any case, according to me! For once, he will work a little more, it will not hurt him!

Sending me an Howler for that, what an idea! I loathe when she pulls me the tongue! I hope that Harry's letter will be more cheerful! I have already enough bad news in this wretched paper without that they come to add me both! And then, if it was so terrible, Severus would have already written me, no? Here is the letter of Ryry, let us see that! For once that he writes me, I hope that they are good news In summary: rotten reform and Hermione Granger in Slytherin. It is too much for a single man to digest all this! A Muggleborn girl in Slytherin! I need a glass, there! I believe that I am going to meditate my answer until tomorrow because otherwise I believe that I am going to write anything! Besides, I will need to correct this familiar style, what an horror! It is refreshing but regrettably not very in compliance with the image of Malfoy. He is going to need me to rectify it during the holidays …

/ Hermione, lounge of Severus, the next day/

Hedwig is back! She returns with the mail of the Malfoy Manor . There is a letter for Draco, one for Ryry and a parcel for me? Harry and Draco had one too. That does not seem to amaze them … Why would Lucius Malfoy send me a parcel? It is really strange! It is the word even if nothing more amazes me at the moment! I go to see what it contains … The curiosity is really a bad fault! Draco pulls a face! His father had send him his "thanks" for the magnificent howler he sent him … Harry has the more satisfied face. He has the very joyful face! Bizarre! And if I opened this package? I want to know what there is inside! Let us see : biscuits and candies in the form of animals and of sprites, there were also fairies and fruits! I know this smell! It is of the almond paste! My good-looking sin! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I am going to write him to thank him! I cannot come during the holidays, I am going to ski in France with my parents … What a pity! It seems that the Malfoy Manor is magnificent and very ancient! I shall certainly see it the next time! I am going to send my letter with an owl of the school. Hedwig looks like a little tired …

/ Severus, day of the examination of potions/

I so repeated my courses that I believed to lose the head! The first one who misses his potion or who dries on the subject, I kill him!! No, better: I deprive five hundred points of his house for incompetence! My small brilliant trio seems to take out there perfectly! It is very well! It is necessary to say that after DFCM and Botanic, the end of the examinations approaches! It is time! For everybody, I think. The teachers are tired as well as the students. I believe that everybody looks forward to the holidays. I believe that the test of Herbology was rather depraved for my three small geniuses. I am sure that she made it deliberately hard! She wanted to clamp my Slytherins! Fortunately that Hermione had her cat. A funny bird also that one! But at least, it is of use to something!

Frankly, nobody can come to say me that I gave a difficult subject! To write something about the bezoar, it is the child's play! They know it since the first year. Even if I am sure that there will be always at least an idiot who will not know how to answer … At the end an hour, let us collect copies and let us see the massacre! At least, some had a lot of inspiration! Potions do not look like too much missed finally in my House. For others, we shall see later …

/ Lucius, waiting for the mail in his office/

Here is Hedwig! Let us see the good news! I hope that they succeeded or that is going to bard! Well, I do not worry too much … Between Severus and Miss Granger, the twins do not have to be unemployed! It is very well! Perfect! It was time somebody shakes them a little! For once, I am going to begin with the letter of Ryry. He has the art to put me in a good mood with his style of expression! That does not seem to have badly taken place so! Ha ha ha! I shall be kind enough to see that with the Whomping Willow! Least that we can say, it is that comments are brief! It is necessary to be completely crazy to send students to look for seeds on the willow! Fortunately that they had this cat! It is really damage that Miss Granger does not come to spend the holidays here! I shall like to see her and this cat also! He seems as intelligent as his mistress! Well, let us pass to Draco. I imagine that I am again going to hear about this reform for a long time. That, that's the last straw! He wants that I come to look for him! And what else?!!? If he survived this long, he is not going to die for a week furthermore! Does Harry complain? No! Then, it is because everything is well! For once that he makes efforts, I would not especially like to slow down him in the moose, it would be really inhuman, is not it?

/ Severus, in his lounge where he began to set the flu/

More than one week before the holidays! More than seven days before leaving this lunatic asylum! It is really time! One day furthermore here and I am going to be able to join in Saint Mungo as a matter of urgency! My only consolation, it is because all the students had good notes in my examinations! It is already that! I cannot it any more and the children either! I can't wait that that stops! I want holidays, I need it! I want to be able to sleep in my armchair plunged into my books of potions, playing chess with Draco during hours, to discuss with Lucius and Narcissia in front of the fireplaceof the Manor . I WANT MY HOLIDAYS!!!! That reminds me that I have to find a Christmas present for Narcissia! I believe that I know! I found recipes( of perfumes in a book of potions. I am sure that that will please her! I do not have more than to look for plants and for flowers. I am going to make for her a collection of rare perfumes. That's right! That is going to occupy me until the holidays! I have to take charge or I am going to become crazy! Given that my new method of teaching works, I am going to keep it! Even if I tear away hair due to repeating! It is for the good cause! It is what I have to say myself!

VICTORY!!! The tests are ended!!! IT IS THE HOLIDAYS!!! The children also are satisfied! My small trio is completely on the ground, but they succeeded! It does not more remain than to wait for bulletins! Well, I pack my suitcases and I am going to go to bed, I fall asleep, me! Finally, I am going to go to bed at first and I shall pack my suitcases tomorrow during the day having tidied up my laboratory!

/ Hermione entering the dormitory of the boys, chapter 22/

The dormitory is deserted, entirely! We enter on tiptoe to spin the fright to the twins! But they are still in the bed?!!!? It is not possible!! Up!!! But nobody? They are deaf or what? I am sure that they did not pack even yet their suitcases! Fortunately that I always have the solution of everything! I very well know how to wake the similar marmots, me! We look for the good object in the pocket, we adjust the hour, we go back up the key quite slowly, we put the alarm clock between both beds, we go away fast by getting blocked ears and … DDDDRRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like this alarm clock! It would wake a dead man! Miracle!! They stand, I am a genius!!! We would say ghosts, it is true that I too shall have still slept! I was right! They have not packed their suitcases yet! What they would make without me? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! Sometimes, I wonder if they are really wizards. They pile their clothes in suitcases, everything is creased! Bravo! Ha! If only they had followed the courses of the fourth year, they would know how to pack their suitcases in two time, three movements! Let us see, want I to help them? No?! I am going to make them simmer a little, that will teach them! They really influence me, these both! I turn completely Slytherin!! But it is not grave! I like teasing them these both! They are soon going to beg me to tell them how to do! My kindness will lose me! I am going to give them the formula like that we can go to have breakfast, it stays us just five minutes … That's it, suitcases are fine! All in the shower!

Already there? They can do fast when they want! I believe that I am going to note to do that more often! Well, in the Great Hall, fast! Severus doesn’t more woken than us! He has almost the nose which falls in his cup of coffee! He either does not still have packed his suitcases! These boys! Always everything in the last minute! They do not know how to get organized! It is not as the girls! And how they cannot do two things at the same time, necessarily that sets them three times more time, it is hopeless! Well, in the carriages everybody!! The train leaves! If somebody had said to me that one day the potions Professor would embrace me by wishing me to have good holidays, I shall have taken him for a madman! But it is true that he hides well his true personality! In fact, he is very kind, even if he is not very demonstrative! Phew, at the hour! We very almost missed it! Fortunately that I woke them this morning or we were cooked!

The trolley of candies always has novelties! Even if sweets are good, it is better not to eat to many of them ! I am satisfied that the examinations are finally ended! I am finally going to be able to rest! I believe that we need it! I think that we worked well all three of us! We should succeed without too many difficulties, but you should never advance too much! I prefer to wait for the bulletin before claiming victory rather than making me false enjoyments! We arrived! Fast, suitcases and everybody outside! My parents are already there! The father of the twins also! Well, a kiss in each of them and I leave! I believe that I visit their father and once again to thank him for his present, already completely swallowed … It is the first time he really smiles to me … No disdaining smile as usual but a true friendly smile … That suits him much better, he has at once the much more kind face. I believe that it is for that that Ryry likes him so much. I am sure that Lucius Malfoy is very different in private that in public. It is a pity I cannot go to the Manor during the holidays … I am sure that I shall have learnt fascinating things! The next time maybe … Well, lives the holidays and the ski!!

/ Harry on the platform of the station/

Phew, finally arrived! I believed that we would never be not on time! Father is already there, the parents of Hermione also. She spins us a kiss before leaving. Draco almost had a heart attack, he is not in the habit that a girl kisses him, except Pansy but that, it is another case … I dream or Father smiled to her ? A miracle, it is a miracle! Fell, here he is! He is also as stiff as usually, a true marble statue … It is terrible when we are not in the habit! Well, suitcases in pockets and in the Manor ! Outch! He could warn before suffocating us like that! I have not the custom! At first, he is icy and hardly here, we are entitled to everything: crushed in his arms, a kiss on the forehead and in more he ruffles our hair! I shall never be used in these radical changes there! Even if I like it…

The lounge, my idol sofa, and a nap! The tea? Very good idea! And later, in the bed! I want to sleep! Father makes us the conversation, I do not know if it is a good idea with Draco … That's it, the war is declared! What I said! At first the reform and after me, the poor man, I hope that he had the time to prepare ammunitions of help … I am silently going to look, that will rest me! I dream! He pretends not to know about what speaks Draco about me! I do not know if it is a good strategy, that! To my opinion, he is going to get it all wrong! Lost! Dray cracked before! What a pity! He is caught there! He takes back a little the control! Why everybody looks at me like that?!!? It is not just! It is me whom we cook now. Thank you my god, my rescuer! It is Severus who arrives! He falls sheer at least! He is going to avoid me answering the questions! I like him!

He doesn’t seem in better state than we, he spreads out in the armchair without complex, I have never seen that! And Father who still makes humor! He will still kill me! And now it is Severus who makes humor on the revisions! Help! What I’ve done to deserve that? In more he does not make the difference between Draco and me! It is really twisting that! Father made a big effort, not to laugh at him while that is obvious in hundred metres that he died to laugh too! It is not just! Good to table and to the bed! It is not too early!

/ Draco at the bottom of his bed, chapter 22/

Hem … What is happening? We attack me?!? No, not the tickle!!! Traitor, not that!! Help, I do not bear the tickle! Ryry!!! He comes to invade me into my bed!! Wait a little, little demon! We go to see if you, you bear the tickle. In the attack!! We make least the proud now, eh? It is completely folded to laugh! It is well made for him! We do not attack people in the back! Then who begs to stop now?! He goes to see what he costs to torture people! Niark, niark!! To stop? Now that I can also enjoy myself? No, not envy! I enjoy myself too much!! They are the holidays, I’ve the right to torture him now!! He is eventually going to die from laughing in my bed! I do not want a corpse in my room, me! Well, that goes I stop! It looks like that goes better … He stopped laughing as a whale, it is good!

I’m sure we heard him laugh in the other end of the manor house! He looks like particularly in a joyful humor, Ryry, that promises for the holidays! Fortunately that I am not cardiac because Father would have already killed me with the similar entrance! I did not even heard him arriving!! Ryry either apparently seen as he has jumped and that he hangs on my neck! Koala, one more time! Oops, I believe that we woke him … Fortunately that he has the good-humoured face! Even if he seems to say that the next time we shall take a soap, seen the mine he pulls! We shall pay more attention the next time, promise! Well, it is not the whole and if we were going to wash and to get dressed before coming down for the lunch? That seems to me an excellent idea, that! Do not forget to kiss everybody.

Ryry isn’t used to it yet, I believe that he is not in the habit. The pill seems to be a little hard to swallow when it is supposed to be Severus, we have a little hard time to forget the old customs, Ryry? He does not so take out there bad finally! Here is Father who makes the tour of the table to say hello to everybody. I like when he come quite ruffled and in housecoat! That so changes of usually, it would be almost funny! Horror, disaster and damnation! Bulletins!! They would not have been able to get lost, these scarfs owls?!!? On the other hand, if they got lost all the time, we would not use them … I do not want to know my marks, I do not want to know my marks, pity!!! Why everybody looks at us like that? It is what this deathly silence? We are going to guillotine somebody or who? We would believe that it is the end of the world! Everybody has eyes fixed to these scarfs parchments! They could not look somewhere else? I never have luck, me! That reassures me, for once Ryry either! He is in the same nightmare as me! Has there more that to ask that we made a success! Well, and if we opened this horror? Abbreviate my sufferings! I open it or I am going eventually have a heart attack due to looking at it! And Severus who presses us! He is of which side, him?!!? Sold, goes! He knows very well that we were not unemployed! He could encourage us, no? Well, I dash … Phew, I inhale! Impeccable results! Ryry seems to go to the slaughterhouse by going to show his bulletin to Father. Draco does not laugh, you will make the same face when it will be your tour by waiting for the verdict!

That seems to be supposed to be for Ryry, completed! It’s my turn! Of the class, the panache, I made a success! Why Father looks at me like that? I always loathe waiting for the verdict! He has the gift to make me put under stress by keeping me waiting like that to scrutinize every millimeter of the leaf silently! I hate that!! Make that that stops! I inhale!!!! Father looks like satisfied! He leaves the table in two minutes and line towards his room. He is already dressed? That makes hardly ten minutes! Where he goes? I want to know!!! He wants that we stay here, nobody to accompany him, it is not just!!! Where that? Go where? To go shopping? Brilliant! We are going to be able to follow Father! Fast, we are going to dress us!!

/ Harry, in front of the fireplace of the lounge/

It is good the first time when we go shopping in family, that makes for me bizarre! Knockturn Alley! How's that not? We don’t leave anymore? Ha, Hogsmead … But I want to go to the other one ! Well, voucher, all right, we follow the lady without making trouble … I always loathed making the shops of clothes! But this time, I feel that that is going to be different! I have Draco and then Narcissia is very kind, I am sure that that will be fast! Express, you bet! It is necessary to try all this? Mom, help please! I want to bring in, I have pain in feet!! And I have the impression that it’s only the beginning!! One kilometre on foot, that wears out, that wears out, one kilometre on foot, that wears out shoes!... One thousand from kilometres to feet, that wears out, that wears out … And then enough! I'm fed up!! I WANT TO GO HOME!!! I want my bed, my sofa of the lounge, I don’t want to walk more, to try nothing more, I tear!!! He stays some more of shops? I am going to strike of the walking! I sit down somewhere and I do not get up any more, promises, sworn!!

/ Chapter 24/

One minute! Where are we? I dream!! A store of underwear!! Help!!! Let me leave!!! Draco, the traitor!! He embarks me inside!! No, I don’t want!!! Mom!!! Underwear? I have not need of it, me!! I want not to scroll in town clothes! They are all madmen here!!! I want to go out!! Allow me to pass!! The traitor! It is a sold, I knew him!! He wants not to allow me to pass!! Draco!! That doesn’t work!! Even not the eyes of beaten dog! Save me!! He is of drill with Narcissia, I shall have known it!! Ha voucher! We are not going to make of parade?! Phew! I inhale!! Panicked, me? NEVER!! But what is she doing here? It is all the same not for us, that? Yes? Seen the size, that risks not to be for Father …

Finally I hope for him because with penguins, there I kill me! I am going to go to Hogwarts with small penguins on boxers! What if somebody discovers it? Because it is not everything? And go to it the twisted and eccentric motives! She knows what age we have, at least? Because I have not the impression of it there! It is good-looking, but pity for me! Draco has no sight too much disturbed by that, him! The traitor!! He said nothing to me deliberately, I am sure of it!! Wait a little!! If Hermione knew that!! I am going to die from shame and him too! No, bad plan! She has not to know it!! Phew, torture ended!!

Narcissia ransacked the store with all which had good-looking motives above! We are not saved! I believe that I am going to leave them sweet in the Manor, that will avoid me of unpleasant surprises!! Yes, it is a good idea, that! There is at least of what to fill three cupboards! But what I am going to do with all of this? I am soon going to be able to open a store, me! I have not the custom to be flooded with clothes, me! I have clothes at least for ten years, there! It is necessary to put in perspective: we shall not any more need to make shops for quite some time, it is already that! Where are we going ? Anything is still missing? Let us see: evening costumes! Balls, what an horror! And Draco who talk about my performance in the ball of the fourth year ! Ho, it snows outside! I like the snow! I find that magnificent! I find that any landscape is magnificent when it is covered with snow … That reminds me that I didn’t see a single decoration in the Manor …

It is nevertheless Christmas today … It is bizarre! It is finished? We go home?!? Brilliant!! How not still?? A coffee ? Excellent idea, I die from cold, me! And I begin to be hungry! It is soon noon! Misery, Ron really influenced me since the time! I have the impression to hear him, it is the end! And a warm chocolate, one! Where does she go? Certainly buy a present for Father … I want to buy him one also and one for her. She is so kind with me, to thank her for all that she did for me! I believe that Draco had the same idea we are going to go out stealthily and to hurry to return before her. Like that, she will see nothing!! I believe that I have an idea! I am going to buy her a bird! I am sure that that is going to please her!! But what king of bird? Fast, in the Magic Menagerie! Owls, owls, ravens, eagles … What I am going to buy her? I am sure that the owlery of the Manor is full of it! I shall love something original, me! Who whistles like that? It is attractive and that speaks in more! But where it is? Oh!!!!!!!!! A parrot!! Very good idea!! It’s miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!!!!! Voucher and now? What will I do of the fowl? I can not return like that to the Manor, she is going to see it! How we call the house elves? Ah yes! We slam fingers and we say their name: Winny! Phew, that works! I give her the bird and tells her to hide him in my room till this evening! Fortunately she knows what to do ! Well, it is more than the hour there! Fast, in the café !! Draco also just comes from his errand ! We were lucky, she arrives! She drank her coffee and we return to the Manor! We return quietly to the fireplace … I like the smell of the warm chestnuts …

We were entitled to a cornet each! It is too kind! I made well to buy her this present, she is really very kind with me! Maybe even too much … We are home! It looks like the elves worked well in our absence! The Manor shines with one thousand fires with all these lights, these candles and these decorations of Christmas! It is even more beautiful than Hogwarts! There are angels, feathers and festoons everywhere! It is really magnificent! They really worked hard, every room is decorated! Without speaking about the fir tree! It is gigantic! I wonder how they admitted it in the lounge … Without speaking about all the packages which are at its feet! It is a pity there are no names above! We shall see that later! Now,fast in the room before sitting down to eat, to verify that everything is well with the parrot! Disaster! Every time somebody enters my room he whistles and begins to speak! I hope that nobody will have the idea to come here!!! Winny put an attractive blue knot around the cage, it is very good-looking like that! I hope that that is going to please her! Because everything is well, I shouldd better come down before somebody comes to look for me! Phew, everybody is in the dining room but not still at table!

It was time! That falls well, I starve for this morning, me! Apparently the others also! It is only two o'clock? What it is long! Say that it is necessary to wait after the dinner while all these beautiful packages do not wait more than us! It is too inequitable!! I want to go to see closer!! Draco seems as curious as me! He does not even notice that he is losing all his pawns. It looks like today, it is not the game of chess which interests him most. To be honest, me either! The curiosity is really a bad fault! Why this clock moves so slowly? I have the impression that it has been hours since we play while that does not make even twenty minutes! Pity, I have never had patience! I would never wait till this evening! I wonder what Father is doing with his newspaper! It has been one hour since he reads the same page! Or the article is fascinating, what would amaze me or he is dreaming! It is not possible otherwise! Finally the dinner, it is not too early! I believed that we would never arrive there! More than some minutes to be before waited to know finally what these packages contain! And if they were empty? The blow of boxes with empty presents, I know! One put it full to persuade that there is full of presents and in fact, there is nothing inside! We spend hours to unpack them to find the other boxes inside and at the end, absolutely nothing! Well, that would amaze me whether it is the case here! Miracle!! We are in front of the fir tree! It is beautiful!! I like the smell of fir trees! It is much better that that one in plastic of the aunt Petunia who does not want to collect needles! It is more beautiful and natural like that! And then on a plastic fir tree, there is no smell of a true fir tree! I had seen that there were several papers different presents. It is a good idea, that! A color for a person! Five different papers for five persons, ingenious that! In a detail near: there are no names on packages! How we are going to know what belongs to us?!!? In more colors and the motives correspond to nothing! It is really twisted as idea! Father brings out an envelope of his pocket, each time there are above the correspondences between colors and names! It's a cheat, that! We would imagine us in a ceremony of valuable discount! We let people simmer before announcing the result, it is sadistic that! Finally! Thus red with reindeers, it is for me! It has a good package of it there! It belongs to me all this? Inconceivable! But what they bought everything? Well, that the big unpacking begins! Let us see seeing: feathers, ink, food for owls from Narcissia, here is somebody who has the practical spirit! That falls well, I began to miss parchments! Then books of potions, astronomy and history on the life of the wizards, more ingredients for potions from my dear godfather Severus, why doesn’t it amaze me ? It is the diverted way to say me that I have a general knowledge level with daisies? It is true that that cannot hurt, but voucher you should not exaggerate in the other way either! I am not Hermione! It is her the bookworm, not me! Let us pass in the continuation: a wooden wizard chess set and a whole outfit of games which I did not know on behalf of Draco. I like games, it is my passion! There looks like the Monopoly, I wonder how we play it! I am sure that Hermione will want to play it at the start of the school year(in autumn)! She too likes that! And to finish, the cherry on the cake: the indispensable textbook of the savoir-vivre, the novels and the games of logic on behalf of Father. What can I say? Novels, I like! The games of logic, I like! And for the textbook, I believe I don’t have the choice … I am going to garage it at the bottom of the library! Over there, it will not annoy me!

Draco looks happy with his presents, as Father and Severus. Narcissia has not unpacked my present yet! It is the moment to ask if that pleases (her! She remains stunned in front of the parrot … It is good sign or not? It looks like it please her! She made me three times the kiss to thank me. On the other hand, Father has the sharply less packed face,I wonder why? He does not like birds? Well, the official ceremony of presents is finished, we can go to go to bed now? I collapse of sleep, me! Draco as well to what as it seems to me … Well, good night! Father calls us? What he wants with us? How's that he has another present for us? It is the day today! It is what, that? A pendant? It is attractive! There is a panther and a dragon engraved above! It is not bad! It is silver and also chains it. We had the same. There is my name and my date of birth behind, as on that of Draco. It is a portkey which will return us directly to the Manor ? He takes precaution with all which takes place! But I believe that he is right, that will be certainly useful for us some day! Having thanked him, Draco and I let us spin each in our room with a single idea in head: thread a pajamas and go to collapse each in the bed! Tomorrow, it is 25, I wonder what we are going to do? I shall like that it snows to make a fight of huge balls of snow in the park with Draco. For once that we can enjoy oursselves without that there is somebody to judge us. We would not risk to do that to the school! I have not envy to think of the school for the moment, I am very here! I believe that these holidays are going to be very interesting and instructive! I am lucky, it snows outside! It is promised! Tomorrow, I embark Draco outside and we make a huge battle! Too bad if Mister Draco is sensitive to cold! He is so going to run that he is going to warm himself alone …

To be continued…
