Chapter 183 Brothers' Night Talk

That night.

The biggest problem of recruiting Snape was finally solved, and Schelling finally solved a big problem hanging in his heart.

As for the investigation by Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic, to be honest, Schelling didn't take it to heart at all. In the current European magic world, as far as Schelling knows, there are no more open divination masters. The only one is Professor Sybil Trelawney, who hides in Hogwarts and maintains a liar persona.

Let's not talk about whether anyone will find Trelawney's abnormality. Even if someone really asks her to do divination, it's okay. She and Schelling have already signed a covenant. Judging from the strength that Schelling has shown, she is not stupid. She will know how to make choices. She will know how to conceal and excuse Schelling, and she can even point out some wrong directions to the divination person to mislead them.

As for the Aurors, there is no need to worry. Let's not talk about it. The whole disappearance happened at the bottom of the lake, leaving no trace at all. Maybe the number of mermaids has decreased, but Sherin doesn't think that the wizards who are usually high and mighty will care about the number of mermaids, not to mention that the language barrier makes it very likely that they will not ask mermaids at all.

Even if they really find some clues, when they find that the clues point to Sherin, Sherin believes that Robards will know what to do. As for the other Aorold Lux, isn't it obvious? A forget spell is enough to solve all problems.

Originally, before the second competition, Sherin had planned to gather all his forces recently and summon all his allies to attack the shadow of the dragon lurking in Hogsmeade Village. However, the whole plan was disrupted by the disappearance of students.

At this sensitive moment, Sherin doesn't want more strange faces to suddenly appear in Hogsmeade Village. Not to mention that it may alert the enemy and expose the bottom card, it may even make people follow the clues and associate the disappearance with himself, which is very disadvantageous to him. Therefore, 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 and was still monitoring the dragon's shadow, he ordered all other allies to stay put and stay away from Hogsmeade Village.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Sherin still had a lot of things waiting for him to solve.

He thought about it, anyway, it was already night, so he would solve the closest things first!

He straightened his robes, walked out of the room, and knocked on Draco's bedroom door.

At least five minutes later, Draco slowly opened the door, but he flashed and blocked the door with his whole body, with no intention of inviting Sherin in.

At this moment, his upper body was naked, revealing his strong and solid muscles, and his lower body was only wearing a pair of boxer briefs embroidered with the Malfoy family emblem, and a certain part near the middle was still slightly bulging, making the black dragon embroidered on the briefs look like it was baring its fangs and claws. Xie Lin suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart. Would he come at such a bad time?

Sure enough, he looked at Xie Lin, sighed faintly, and said, "It's Xie Lin."

Xie Lin heard a sparse voice coming from behind the door.

After a while, Draco opened the door a little wider, and Xie Lin saw Pansy behind Draco. Her face was as red as a ripe apple, and her hair was still a little wet, as if the sweat on it had not completely evaporated. The clothes on her body were loose and you could tell at a glance that she had just put them on.

"Ah, I'm really sorry, why don't I come again next time!" Xie Lin was very embarrassed and turned to leave.

"Ah! No need, Xie Lin!" Pansy stopped Xie Lin, "I have to go back to my room anyway, you two brothers can have a good chat!"

After that, Pansy lowered her head, wrapped her arms around her hands, rushed past Xie Lin, and ran back to her own dormitory.

Draco shook his head first, then opened the door and said to Sherin, "Come in!"

Sherin walked into Draco's room and quickly scanned it with Asterix without making any noise - the wand was inserted crookedly in the pocket of the wizard's robe, and the wizard's robe was hung on a classic standing coat rack. The sheets and quilts were quite messy and looked a little wet. There was a warning spell cast at the door. It was nothing special. It was the kind that would make the owner of the room feel something when someone sneaked in when no one was around.

Apart from that, only the small table beside the bed slightly attracted Sherin's attention.

On the small table beside the bed was a standing mirror stand with a diameter of about three feet. The whole mirror faintly exuded an uncomfortable aura for Sherin, the aura of black magic!

At this time, Draco just closed the door. He gently made a special gesture with his hand holding the door handle. The door handle clicked, indicating that the door was locked in a special way. This magic was something that Schelling had never heard of before. His pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

But his face seemed to be unaware of it. He showed a half-smile and said, "Draco, I'm really sorry. I seem to have disturbed your good thing."

"Nothing, just a woman." Draco shrugged and answered indifferently.

Schelling raised his eyebrows, his face suddenly turned cold. He wanted to say something, hesitated for a moment, and finally swallowed the words that were on his lips, and said coldly instead: "You asked me to come to you, and now I'm here, tell me, what's the matter?"

Draco looked at Xielin's somewhat indifferent expression and couldn't help laughing, "Xielin, since you mentioned the return of the Dark Lord during the summer vacation, we two brothers have indeed had different views on the future of the family. You see-"

"It's been a long time since we two brothers had a good chat. I think our brotherly feelings have faded a lot..." Draco continued, "I called you here today, I have no other intention, I just want to chat with you... The reason why I locked the door and used the "soundproof magic" just now is just that I don't want others to disturb our brothers' time alone... Don't you think so, Smart?"

Smart is the nickname that the two gave Xielin when they were young. Xielin called Draco "Spungen" and Draco called Xielin "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 I think that the two were really a bit silly at the time, but they also seemed to be very happy. However, since the age of nine, the two have grown up and have never used these two nicknames again.

The corners of Xielin's mouth twitched, and he rolled his eyes at Draco. However, his long sleeves covered his two wrists, which were clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were throbbing.

Xielin tried to calm down and sighed, "Draco, even if we have some disagreements, we don't need to go this far... The words you said at the opening ceremony almost hit my prestige. This is just a small matter, I won't say much, but you later intensified it, and provoked Hagrid with Blaise, and even Granger was led down by you, and you are going to trigger another fight between the schools. Do you dare to say that your target is not me?"

Draco heard Xielin call him by his name instead of the nickname "pig shit residue", and his eyes dimmed a little. He said: "This, even if I am wrong!... Smart guy, do you still remember the scene of your magic riot when you were 4 years old?"

Xielin nodded with no objection.

Draco said quietly, "We were born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but our fates are so different. You triggered a magical riot when you were 4 years old, but I... had to wait until I was 8 years old to finally succeed. From then on, although none of you said it, I knew it very well in my heart. Everyone in the family thought you were better, better, and more talented than me..."

Xie Lin frowned, "How can you say that? Dad and Mom's love for you has never diminished at all-"

"Humph!" Draco interrupted Xie Lin with a cold snort. He raised his head, and red light 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 have done for me, but--"

"Is that love?" His voice trembled. "You have learned everything since elementary school. English, French, German, Latin, so many languages ​​are like your natural instincts... Not to mention mathematics and history, you understand them at a glance and never need to review them a second time. It's like they have been eaten into your brain, and you don't have to worry about forgetting them forever... The way your parents look at you, what a look of expectation!... What about me?"

"They look at me What is the look in their eyes! Is it sympathy? Is it pity? Anyway--"

"I have never seen even a trace of hope in their eyes!"

"You said--" Draco's voice gradually rose: "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 an indulgence! A kind of doting!"

"Obviously--" The black air on Draco's body began to faintly emanate from his skin, "Obviously I am the brother! Why, why can't I ever get their praise!"

"Draco!" Xie Lin shouted coldly, "You Calm down!"

"Hahahaha——" Draco laughed, but his laughter was cold and full of chill, "Why am I not calm? I am calm." He spread his hands, "I am calm and sober, you are the one who is not sober! It is you who are unwilling to admit, you are unwilling to face the truth I said... From childhood to adulthood, I have always lived in your shadow! No matter what I did, no matter how hard I tried, I could only, could only desperately chase after your footsteps... Everyone, everyone would only regard me as your foil!"

Xellin took a step back in disbelief , he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Draco, whether you believe it or not, in my heart, you will always be my brother. I never knew, really didn't know, that... you had to bear so much pressure because of me... I... I..." Xie Lin thought about it and found himself in a dilemma. He could only sigh, "I don't want to be like this..." "Hahaha - cough cough," Draco laughed so hard that he was out of breath, and his eyes even burst into tears, "Stupid brother... Do you know that you are not the material for hegemony at all? There is a fatal weakness in your character-"

"You attach too much importance to feelings! The road to hegemony is cruel, and there is no room for personal feelings-" Draco's eyes flashed with dazzling light, and the corners of his mouth gradually raised, "The same is true for women, and the same is true for friends, Even family and clan are no exception... These are just unnecessary shackles... Only by letting go of these can you go further..."

Xie Lin's eyes became very complicated. Yes, he didn't know that if he could really give up the feelings around him, his pursuit of power and ambition would indeed be much easier. Throughout the ages, there has been no one who has achieved great things who is not ruthless and ruthless. A ruthless man?

"Draco... So, the brotherhood we have had for so many years... is all fake?" Xie Lin said with some difficulty.

Draco shook his head, with incomprehensible disappointment in his eyes, "You still don't understand what I mean..."

"Our brotherhood, our family ties, are all real..." His voice became colder, "It is precisely because it is real that I have to cut it off with my own hands. Xie Lin, you can never Understand my desire to become stronger...I've had enough of everyone just looking at you, I've had enough of living in the shadows that no one can see..."

"Hehe," he smiled coldly: "I want to surpass you, I want to prove to everyone that I am better than you! In order to achieve this goal, I can abandon all the fetters around me. These so-called fetters will only Let yourself be confused. Strong thoughts and cherished thoughts will only make you weak. Do you understand? Only those who cut off all these are qualified to become truly strong!"

A flash of understanding flashed through Xie Lin's eyes, the tight fists in his sleeves gradually loosened, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Is this what you really want to say to me when you specially called me here?" Xie Lin's slightly narrowed eyes revealed an indestructible confidence, "I have to say, it's really sobering! I have to Say, I really didn’t expect these words to come out of your mouth, Draco...or should I say-"

"My third-generation ancestor, Lord Armand II?"

Did anyone guess it? Did anyone guess it? Did anyone guess it?
