HP Princess bravely enters Hogwarts

Chapter 143 Draco's Change

The door of the Room of Requirement slowly opened and then slowly closed. Now there was only Cygnus and the little ferret in her arms.

As a spell was chanted, Draco, who was originally a ferret, gradually returned to his original appearance.

As soon as Draco recovered, he was breathing heavily, with extreme fear still in his eyes.

He didn't even notice that Sensenas had just performed a wandless spell, a sophisticated magic skill that only a few people in Hogwarts could master.

At this moment, his mind was in a mess, with only one thought spinning wildly:

He felt like he had screwed up everything and the whole world was waiting to laugh at him.

Especially those red-haired Gryffindor girls, they will definitely laugh their heads off.

He was filled with shame, his head lowered almost to his chest, and he didn't dare to look up at all.

Because he was afraid to meet his sister's eyes filled with disappointment.

He asked himself again and again in his heart:

The elder sister has always been a role model in everyone's eyes. She is outstanding in both academic performance and magical talent. How come she has a younger brother like him?

If he could be as outstanding and powerful as his sister, and have profound attainments in magic, no one would dare to look down on him.

Mad-Eye Moody would never dare to do such a humiliating thing as turning him into a ferret.

The room was eerily quiet, with only the sound of Draco's suppressed sobs.

He was like a wounded little animal in the dark, helpless and confused, sobbing silently.

Tears slid uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes, flowed down his still somewhat childish cheeks, and then fell drop by drop from his pointed chin, splashing tiny teardrops on the ground.

Segnus felt her shoulders slowly getting wet, and Draco's hands were tightly around her waist, as if only in this way could she find some sense of security.

"Draco."

Hearing his sister calling him, Draco seemed to have been triggered a switch, and slowly raised his head from her arms.

His appearance was heartbreaking, with tears still hanging on his long eyelashes, trembling slightly with his movements.

The tip of her nose was also red from crying just now.

"Crying won't solve any problems. You have to become stronger." Segnus looked into his eyes and said seriously, "Only by becoming stronger can you protect yourself and the people you care about most. I can't always..."

Having said this, Segnus suddenly paused, as if he remembered something, and swallowed the rest of the sentence.

"Forget it. Anyway, you can only rely on yourself. I believe you can work hard, and then you will protect me in your turn."

Draco froze, his eyes a little confused, as if he was trying to digest his sister's words.

Protect yourself, protect Cygnus, protect the Malfoy family...

These questions, which seemed to have never been seriously considered in his mind before, now hit his heart like a heavy hammer.

In the past, he always felt that if the sky fell, he had his father to support him, and if all else failed, he had his sister, so he just had to hide behind them.

But now he understood what his sister hadn't finished saying - she couldn't protect him forever.

For a moment, the room was silent, with only the sound of Draco's heavy breathing to be heard.

There was a long silence, and Draco slowly loosened his grip on Cygnus.

"You're right, sister." Draco lowered his head, his voice still a little hoarse, and muttered to himself.

Please, he is the young master of the Malfoy family and has noble blood flowing in his veins, how could he be like a coward.

Senus's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

She knew in her heart that if Draco was still as childish and unwilling to listen to advice as before, there was no need for her to spend any more time on him.

After all, she doesn't need a useless "chess piece" who can only cry.

As a chess player, you naturally hope that every chess piece in your hand can shine on the chessboard and defeat your opponent.

So, Draco, don't let her down.

Only then did Segnus notice his wrinkled robe, and he frowned slightly, straightening it with some disgust.

After finishing her work, she stretched out her right hand and said, "Let's go, we should go out. Oh, there's one more thing."

Draco looked at her suspiciously, his eyes full of confusion, and waited quietly for her to continue.

"Don't be afraid of Mad-Eye Moody. He's just an Auror. If he dares to do anything to you again, he'll be dead."

Segnus' tone was calm, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

This was the first time Draco heard his sister say such harsh words.

In his impression, his sister has always been gentle and kind. Her words today made him feel both moved and surprised.

He thought that his sister must have cared about him too much and was mad at Moody's behavior, which was why she acted like this.

Thinking of this, Draco nodded vigorously and walked out of the Room of Requirement with his sister.

There was no one outside the house.

Draco felt something strange, because usually at this time of year, Theodore would always be with his sister, but this time he wasn't following her.

As they walked side by side, Segnus realized that Draco had grown so tall without her noticing.

She was 1.65 meters tall, and next to Draco, she looked a little petite.

It seems that this little kid who used to follow me has really grown up.

Instead of going directly back to the common room, they were pulled by Segnus towards the library.

The library is exceptionally quiet today. The bustle of the past is gone and there are few people inside.

Madam Pince sat behind the counter, quietly registering the forms in her hands. The only sound in the entire library was the rustling of pages.

Cygnus led Draco through the rows of tall bookshelves and found Hermione in the corner.

Hermione was concentrating on reading the book in her hand, and Theodore, who had disappeared, was sitting next to her.

Cygnus let go of Draco's hand and gently moved closer, making sure that her voice would not be heard by Madam Pince or disturb anyone else.

"I think you need to teach Draco a lesson."

When Hermione heard this, she put down the book in her hand and looked Draco up and down.

Draco was standing there, feeling uncomfortable, not knowing where to put his hands, with some resistance in his eyes.

Hermione turned to look at Sensenas again, and after receiving an affirmative look, she sighed helplessly.

To be honest, if someone asked Hermione who she hated the most at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy would definitely be number one.

This arrogant and cocky young master always made her angry since the first time they met, especially when he shouted the word "Mudblood", Hermione's disgust for him reached its peak.

In her eyes, Draco was just a spoiled, willful little master.

But now, for the sake of Segnus, she couldn't refuse directly, and was struggling with whether to help or not.
