Harry Potter: Miss Malfoy

Chapter 119 The Confiscated Map...

"Malfoy! What are you going to do to Hermione!"

Ron's slightly anxious shout came from the foot of the slope, and then a red-haired figure appeared.

Ron was in Zonko's shop shortly after reuniting with Harry, who had snuck into Hogsmeade.

He was attracted by a teacup that could bite people's noses and didn't notice that he had lost contact with Harry.

It was extremely difficult to find the invisible Harry in the bustling crowd of Hogsmeade.

After failing to find someone at the Three Broomsticks and enjoying a glass of butterbeer, they came to a path next to the village.

That was the road leading to the outskirts of the Shrieking Shack, and few students were willing to set foot there.

I walked in unconsciously and found Hermione and Draco confronting each other on the slope.

And the figure that he had been looking for, who shouldn't have been in Hogsmeade at all.

Without caring about the argument between himself and Hermione, he shouted to stop her and then rushed forward.

Draco was a little panicked when he was discovered by Ron. He was wondering how to explain.

Seeing the look in Hermione's eyes conveyed some message, he remembered the conversation they had before Harry arrived.

"I never care about being mistaken for a bad person."

He tried to hide his apology with a stiff mouth and slapped Hermione's left cheek with his open right palm.

The applause was crisp, and it stung even more in the cold February air.

Ron's frantic roar approached, and Draco quickly turned and left.

Harry was stunned by Draco's sudden action, while Hermione covered her face with her hands, but there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

By the time Ron reached the fence, breathless, Draco was gone.

"What's wrong with her?"

Ron shouted angrily, and even though he avoided looking at Hermione, the concern in his eyes betrayed him.

Before Harry knew how to respond, Hermione suddenly spoke with a choked voice.

"She came and said with all her might that Buckbeak would be put to death. And we had a quarrel."

Looking at Hermione's haggard face, half of which was swollen and red due to the dark circles under her eyes, Ron suddenly stammered in his response.

"You...you don't have to do this alone anymore, Hermione. I'm here. I...I'll help."

At the same time, he stretched out his hand and awkwardly put his arm around Hermione's left shoulder.

This was obviously a reaction Hermione had not expected.

She stared at Ron blankly, and her originally choked up mood actually began to cry.

"Ron, I'm so, so sorry about Scabbers..."

"No...it's okay. He's old, too. Living for more than a decade is long enough for a mouse."

Immersed in the harmonious atmosphere, it took a while for Harry to think about the fact that he was caught by Draco.

"Harry! Why did you take off your cloak? What if Malfoy comes and complains..."

"It's okay. We have something on her."

As Harry and Ron were confused, Hermione spoke with a half-smile.

After letting Harry hide behind the invisibility cloak, he returned to the busy flow of people in Hogsmeade.

After returning to the castle for dinner, Hermione found Draco deep in the library, in front of a floor-to-ceiling window at the corner of a bookcase.

However, she was looking over books on Transfiguration and Animagus.

He sat down next to her with a smile and noticed her slightly wary look.

"You haven't thanked me for sacrificing myself to get you out of this, Miss Malfoy."

"You have me to thank for reconciling you and Weasley, Granger."

The Gryffindor genius and the Slytherin princess exchanged smiles.

Hermione was about to get up when she saw Harry hurried over with a pale face.

What he said cast a shadow of worry on Draco's pretty face.

"The Marauder's Map was confiscated by Lupin."

"Then, when I was using the map, I found it next to Hagrid's cabin,"

"Peter Pettigrew is still alive."

"What happened? Why did Professor Lupin confiscate the map?"

Hermione's concern was palpable.

Draco just stood there in silence, not saying a word.

"I kept looking at the map when I got back to school. I just wanted to try my luck,"

"See if the map actually shows Black or Petillo's name."

Harry pulled up a chair and sat down, looking around and lowering his voice.

"I think it's unlikely that they are in the castle—"

"Of course. The teachers at school have searched several times but to no avail."

Hermione couldn't help but interrupt.

Harry nodded and glanced at Draco. She still said nothing. So Harry continued talking.

"So I focused on the edge of the map, and then..."

"Saw Peter Pettigrew's dot going in circles next to Hagrid's hut."

Hermione asked, frowning.

"And then? Why was the map confiscated?"

Before Harry could reply, Draco spoke in a tone so cold that it almost froze the air.

"You went to see him, didn't you?"

Draco's eyes and tone were far colder than Frost.

Harry discovered that not everyone would make the temperature around them rise suddenly when they were angry.

To make matters worse, Draco's words clearly made Hermione angry as well.

"Do you know how dangerous what you have done is?"

Under the glares of the girls, Harry made up his mind.

We should find time to tell Ron about the latest developments regarding Blake.

So as to avoid being caught in this situation of being attacked from all sides again.

With a little uneasiness and confusion in my heart, I narrated what happened next.

?After seeing Pettigrew's name, Harry slipped out of the castle wearing his cloak and followed the map to the cabin.

But I was disappointed to find that the location indicated by the map mark where I should see Petiru was empty.

After walking around for a few times, the only sounds I could hear were the rustling of insects and birds, and the sound of small animals crawling across the snow.

There are no more extra large creatures, let alone humans.

He returned to the castle in frustration, and ran into Snape just as he took off his invisibility cloak.

Being ridiculed by Snape, the whole school was on high alert for Harry's safety.

Although he was the victim, he walked around at night without any care.

He couldn't help but retort, but was ordered to hand over what was in his pocket.

Snape's expression was as if he already knew that I was carrying contraband such as the Marauder's Map.

Fortunately, Snape didn't know the riddle to unlock the Marauder's Map.

After being mocked by the messages from Moony Face and others, he angrily called Lupin.

The Marauder's Map fell into Lupin's hands, and he had no intention of returning the map to Harry.

What made Harry feel even worse was the disappointment that kept showing on Lupin's face after he brought Harry back to the office.

Before he could tell Lupin that he saw Pettigrew on the map, he was asked to leave the office.

Harry finished speaking, and Hermione and Draco fell silent at the same time.

Draco's clear eyes were staring straight at him, but without the agility and shyness of the past.

He wasn't sure whether it was Lupin's expression in his memory or the look in Draco's eyes that made it more difficult for him.
