Chapter 183 Brothers Night Talk
That night.
The biggest problem of recruiting Snape was finally completed, and Schelling finally solved a major issue hanging in his heart.
As for the investigation by Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic, to be honest, Schelling didn't take it seriously at all.In today's European magic world, as far as Schelling knows, there is no apparent master of divination.The only one is Professor Sybill Trelawney who is hiding in Hogwarts and maintaining the character of a liar.
Not to mention whether anyone will notice Trelawney's abnormality, even if someone really asks her to do divination, that's okay. She and Schelling have already concluded an alliance. Judging from the strength Schelling has shown, she is not an idiot, and she will know how to choose.She would know how to hide and excuse Xie Lin, and she could even point out some wrong directions to the querents to mislead them.
As for the Aurors, there is no need to worry.Not to mention, the entire disappearance happened at the bottom of the lake, leaving no trace at all.Perhaps the number of mermaids has decreased, but Xie Lin doesn't think that the wizards who are usually aloof will care about the number of mermaids, let alone the language barrier makes them likely not to ask mermaids for questioning.
Even if they did find any clues, when they found that the clues pointed to Schelling, Schelling believed that Robards would know what to do.As for the other Aurord Lux, isn't that obvious?One Oblivion Charm is enough to solve all problems.
Originally, before the second competition event, Schelling had already planned to gather his strength and summon all his allies in the near future, planning to attack the shadow of the dragon lurking in Hogsmeade village.However, the whole plan was disrupted by the disappearance of the students.
At this sensitive moment when the limelight was on the rise, Schelling didn't want more strange faces to suddenly appear in Hogsmeade, not to mention that they might startle the enemy, expose their cards, or even make people follow the clues and associate the disappearance with him, which would be very detrimental to him.So, although he was worried about Meredith's safety, he could only put the matter aside for the time being.
Except for Bathory, who was very good at hiding, who was still monitoring the shadow of the dragon, he ordered the other allies to stand still and stay away from Hogsmeade village.
Putting this matter aside for the time being, Xie Lin still has a lot of things waiting for him to solve.
He thought about it, it was already night anyway, so let's solve the closest thing first!
He straightened his robes, walked out of the room, and knocked on Draco's bedroom door.
After at least 5 minutes, Draco slowly opened the door, but he blocked the door with a flash of his figure, without any intention of inviting Schelling in.
At this moment, his upper body was naked, revealing his strong and muscular muscles, and his lower body was only wearing a boxer underpants embroidered with the Malfoy family crest. A part near the middle was still slightly raised, making the black dragon embroidered on the underpants look like it was showing its teeth and claws.Xie Lin suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart, he couldn't come at such a bad time, could he?
Sure enough, he looked at Xie Lin, sighed faintly, and said, "It's Xie Lin."
Schelling heard a sparse sound coming from behind the door.
After a while, Draco opened the door further, and Sherin saw Pansy behind Draco at this moment. Her face was as red as a ripe apple, her hair was still wet, as if the sweat had not evaporated completely, and the clothes on her body were loose, and she could tell she had just put them on.
"Ah, I'm really sorry, why don't I come again next time!" Xie Lin was very embarrassed, turned around and was about to leave.
"Ah! No need, Schelling!" Pansy stopped Schelling, "I'm going back to my room anyway, you two brothers, let's have a good chat!"
After finishing speaking, Pansy lowered her head, wrapped her arms around her arms, rushed past Xie Lin, and quickly ran back to her own bedroom.
Draco shook his head first, then let the door open, and said to Schelling: "Come in!"
Schelling walked into Draco's room and took a quick quick glance at it with the Astrophotograph--the wand was stuck askew in the pocket of the wizard's robe, which hung on a classically shaped standing coat rack.The sheets and sheets were quite messy and looked a little damp on them.A warning spell was cast at the door, nothing special, just the kind that would make the owner of the room feel when someone sneaked in when no one was there.
Other than that, only the small table next to the bed caught Schelling's attention.
On the small table next to the bed was a standing mirror stand with a diameter of about three feet. The whole mirror had a faint smell that made Schelling uncomfortable, the smell of black magic!
At this time, Draco just closed the door, and he made a special gesture with the hand holding the doorknob. The doorknob clicked, indicating that the door was locked by a special technique. This magic was unknown to Schelling, and his pupils shrank slightly.
But he didn't seem to notice anything on his face, showing a smile that was not a smile, and said: "Draco, I'm really sorry, I seem to have disturbed your good business."
"It's nothing, it's just a woman." Draco shrugged and replied indifferently.
Xie Lin raised his eyebrows, his face suddenly turned cold, he was about to say something, hesitated for a moment, finally swallowed the words that came to his lips, and said coldly: "You asked me to come to you, now I'm here, tell me, what's the matter?"
Draco looked at Xie Lin's indifferent expression, and couldn't help laughing, "I said Xie Lin, since you told the story of the return of the Dark Lord during the summer vacation, we brothers have indeed diverged in our views on the future of the family, you see—"
"How long has it been since we two brothers had a good chat, I think our brothers' relationship has faded a lot..." Draco continued, "I called you here today for no other purpose, I just wanted to chat with you... The reason why I locked the door and the 'soundproof magic' just now is because I don't want others to disturb our alone time between brothers...Are you right, smart ghost?"
Smart is the nickname given to Schelling by the two when they were young. Schelling called Draco "Spungen" and Draco called Schelling "Smart". At that time, the two children always played various childish fantasy games when their parents were not at home and the housekeeper was not paying attention. Now that I think about it, they were a little silly at the time, but they also seemed to be very happy.However, since the age of nine, the two grew up and never used these two nicknames again.
The corner of Schelling's mouth twitched, and Draco gave Draco a supercilious look, but in his long sleeves on both sides, the two wrists covered by the sleeves were clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were pulsating.
Schelling tried his best to calm down, and sighed, "Draco, let's say we have some differences, we don't need to get to this point... What you said at the opening ceremony almost hurt my prestige. This is just a trivial matter, so I won't say more about it, but you intensified later on. You provoked Hagrid with Blaise at Hagrid's place, and even Granger was led off by you, and you will trigger another school fight. Do you dare to say that your target is not me?"
When Draco heard Schelling calling himself by his first name instead of the nickname of "pig shit", Draco's eyes were slightly sad, and he said, "Well, it's my fault!...Smart ghost, do you still remember the scene where you had a magic riot when you were 4 years old?"
Schelling nodded incredulously.
Draco said faintly: "We were both born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but our fates are so completely different. You caused a magic riot when you were 4 years old, and I... didn't succeed until I was 8 years old. From then on, although none of you said it, I knew it very well. Everyone in the family thought you were better than me, better than me, and more talented than me..."
Xie Lin frowned, "How can you say that? Mom and Dad's love for you is not less than—"
"Hmph!" Draco interrupted Xie Lin's words with a cold snort. He raised his head, and red lights appeared in his eyes!
"You don't need to say more." Draco's voice suddenly turned cold, "I know and remember all the good things my parents did to me, but—"
"Is that love?" His voice trembled. "You can learn everything at once since elementary school. English, French, German, Latin, so many languages are like your natural instincts... Not to mention mathematics and history. You can understand it at a glance, and you don't need to review it again. It's like being eaten into your brain, and you don't have to be afraid of forgetting it forever... The look in the eyes of your parents, what a hopeful look!...What about me?"
"What do they look at me! Is it sympathy? Is it pity? Anyway—"
"I've never seen even the slightest hope in their eyes!"
"You said—" Draco's voice gradually became higher: "They love me and treat me well, but I don't think so... I think their love for me is just a kind of psychological compensation, and their kindness to me is more of a kind of connivance! A kind of doting!"
"Obviously——" the dark air on Draco's body began to faintly leak from his skin, "Obviously I am the elder brother! Why, why I can never get their praise!"
"Draco!" Sherin shouted coldly, "Calm down!"
"Hahahahaha——" Draco laughed, but his laughter was cold and full of chills, "Why am I not calm? I am very calm." He spread his hands, "I am calm and sober, and the one who is not sober is you! It is you who do not want to admit it, it is you who do not want to face the truth of what I have said... I have been living under your shadow since I was a child! No matter what I do, no matter how hard I try, I can only follow your footsteps desperately... Everyone, everyone You will only regard me as your foil!"
Schelling took a step back in disbelief. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Draco, believe it or not, in my heart, you will always be my brother. I never knew, I really don't know, so...you have suffered so much pressure because of me...I...I..."
Xie Lin thought for a while, and found himself in a dilemma where he couldn't answer. He could only sigh, "I don't want to be like this..."
"Hahaha——cough," Draco laughed out of breath, his eyes even burst into tears, "Stupid brother...do you know that you are not made for hegemony at all, you have a fatal weakness in your character—"
"You attach too much importance to feelings! The road to hegemony is cruel, and there is no place for personal feelings—" Draco's eyes shone brightly, and the corners of his mouth gradually raised, "This is true for women, and so is for friends, even family members and families... These are just meaningless shackles... Only by letting go of these, can you go further..."
Xie Lin's eyes became very complicated, yes, why didn't he know that if he could really abandon the feelings around him, his pursuit of strength and ambition would indeed be much easier. Throughout the ages, is there anyone who has achieved great things without being ruthless and ruthless?
"Draco... So, our brotherhood for so many years... is all fake?" Sherin said with some difficulty.
Draco shook his head, with an incomprehensible disappointment in his eyes, "You still can't understand what I mean..."
"Our brotherhood, our family's affection, are all true..." His voice gradually became colder, "It is because it is true that I have to cut it off with my own hands. Xie Lin, you will never understand my desire to become stronger... I have had enough of everyone looking at you, I have had enough of living in the shadows that no one can see..."
"Hey," he smiled coldly: "I want to surpass you, I want to prove to everyone that I am stronger than you! In order to achieve this goal, I can abandon all the fetters around me. These so-called fetters will only make me confused. Strong thoughts and cherished thoughts will only make myself weaker, do you understand? Only those who cut off all these can be qualified to become a real strong man!"
A flash of understanding flashed in Xie Lin's eyes, the clenched fists in his sleeves gradually loosened, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Is this what you specifically wanted to tell me when you called me here?" Sherin narrowed his eyes slightly with indestructible confidence, "I have to say, it's really sobering! I have to say, I really didn't expect this sentence to come out of your mouth, Draco...or should I say—"
"My three generations of ancestors, Lord Armand II?"
Anyone have a guess?Anyone have a guess?Anyone have a guess?
