HP: I’m working on redemption at Hogwarts

Ever since the Duel Club incident, Draco had really ignored Astoria out of anger.

She thought that whether it was for the sake of family honor or for her own peaceful life in Slytherin, she had to make peace with Draco, the arrogant young master.

She remembered that the young master seemed to like sweets and thought about the candy jar his mother sent him every day. Astoria had a plan in mind.

She came to the small kitchen of the castle, borrowed tools and ingredients from the house elves, and planned to make some chocolates.

I just don’t know why, but the kitchen seems to be particularly crowded these days, filled with girls of different heights and a few boys who are busy.

"Why are there so many people these days?"

"Miss, maybe Valentine's Day is coming soon. Everyone wants to send their feelings to each other. At this time of year, the kitchen is the busiest. Doraka is very happy!" The elf next to Astoria seemed to be too. Infected by the lively atmosphere, I clapped and jumped excitedly.

"I'm so happy. These kids are the most annoying every year. I don't even have a place to stand. Can't I buy chocolates outside?" A house elf with a spotty face and a serious expression looked impatient and patted the chopping board and complained. .

"Sorry, sir, we are so intrusive, but it's great that your meals are so punctual and delicious..." Astoria smiled awkwardly and immediately took over the conversation, sincerely praising and thanking the family. Due to the elf's efforts, the serious house elf's expression softened a lot.

Astoria originally wanted to give the chocolates to Draco after she finished making them, but the day after she finished making the chocolates for her most successful dessert happened to be Valentine's Day.

Astoria thought that maybe she should send it another day to avoid misunderstanding.

Okay, but after seeing such a scene, Astoria couldn't help but feel soft.

……

I saw Theodore coming back from the library early today, which was rare. His neat shirt was pulled and turned outwards, and his hair was messy and he "escaped" into the Slytherin lounge.

If you pay careful attention, you can find that Theodore's shoulder bag where he usually keeps his notebook is now filled with love letters and gifts of different colors.

"Wow, it seems that us nerds have gained a lot today!" Pansy looked at Theodore teasingly.

"..." Theodore waited silently, glancing at a bag of pink, his eyes full of helplessness.

"Hey, hey, I know, Theodore is called the abstinence-minded male god, and he is very popular with girls!" Crabbe clapped his hands and jumped up from the sofa excitedly, as if he could get a lot of food by answering this question. Same.

But it was true that both he and Goyle were tacitly staring at the various fragrant snacks and chocolates in Theodore's bag, and they couldn't help but drool just thinking about it.

"You want it?" Theodore raised his eyebrows, stretched out his bag, and motioned in their direction.

"Yeah, yeah!" Goyle and Crabbe nodded without hesitation.

"Then you eat." Theodore turned his satchel upside down, and all the desserts and love letters inside were spread out on the table. Theodore looked at the two people who were immersed in eating with a calm expression.

"Remember to get rid of these papers for me," Theodore said, turning around and planning to leave.

He looked at a female classmate who was holding chocolate and staring at him in shock after witnessing everything. Theodore was not embarrassed by being seen through. Instead, he smiled at her and then walked upstairs sideways, leaving no chance for the female classmate to speak. .

"Wow! This Nott is really awesome. Love letters are useless paper, and desserts are disposed of at will. I'm afraid no one will dare to express their feelings to him in the future!" Chloe leaned on the corner of the sofa and said unceremoniously. Make complaints.

The four of them were currently gathering at the sofa corner far away from Draco and his small group, drinking afternoon tea. This may be why Chloe dared to gossip so loudly.

"No, there are a lot of people who like Nott's dignified, self-possessed and cold-faced academic persona. Chloe, you're still thinking too little." Siblanc took a ladylike sip of her scented tea and raised her eyelids. Glancing in the direction of Rosa and Astoria for recognition.

Rosa immediately nodded in agreement, their eyes touched Astoria, and they saw her looking at Draco sitting quietly in the corner of the small group with complicated eyes in a daze.

"However, Malfoy is really weird today. He usually dominates any topic, but he feels so gloomy today."

"Yes, what's going on..." Rosa noticed Shiblank's gossipy little eyes and started talking to herself, but her eyes glanced at Astoria who was in a daze.

Hearing her friends' conversation, Astoria's eyes involuntarily dimmed, and the air pressure around her became low, as if she was thinking of something bad...

…………

……

Two days ago

"Leah, I'll give you a chance to forgive you." Draco sat awkwardly next to Astoria and then spoke,

"As long as you agree that Blake is an arrogant villain, I can treat it as if you are temporarily losing your mind to defend her."

"Malfoy!" Astoria had not been so angry for a long time. She was so angry that she even called Draco by his last name.

"Have you still not figured out who is arrogant? I have never defended her. It's just that your behavior of being obedient when you get an advantage, without caring about other people's emotions and getting carried away and leaving scars on others, is so disgusting."

The shock on Draco's face was undisguised. He seemed to have failed to realize that the girl who was teaching him so righteously and fiercely was the same person as the weak and submissive sister before.

"Greengrass! How dare you yell at me so loudly!!" Isn't it just who is louder than who else? Draco clenched his fist and slammed it on the ground, glaring fiercely at the girl in front of him.

"No matter your family, surname, appearance or even personality, there is no reason why you can insult and bully others at will. Draco, don't forget that your mother's surname was also Black, and I have been neglected by the family for many years because of curses and diseases. …”

Draco opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. He wanted to refute, but was inexplicably unable to refute...

He just watched the girl in front of him, her eyes were red, and the tears in her eyes fell uncontrollably, which were particularly noticeable on her pale cheeks.

"Draco... it's not good at all to poke holes in other people's families' sufferings... It's not good at all to be someone who still has no guilt after doing everything..."

At this moment, her blue pupils were covered with tears, and her vision was foggy. Her nose was sore and she tugged at Draco's sleeve insecurely.

She thought of her mother, who had been criticized and criticized by reporters, relatives, and even everyone even after her death...

Obviously the mother just wants to lift the curse on Leah...

Before she knew it, Astoria sobbed and fell asleep on Draco's shoulder. Draco, on the other hand, was stunned by Astoria's inexplicable tears, and actually forgot to push her away, who was still arguing with each other.

"Mom, I'm sorry...Mom..." In addition to the slight breathing in her arms, there was also the girl's unconscious murmur in her sleep. Draco sighed, and the hand that was originally intended to push the girl away slowly fell down, and he gently patted the girl's shoulder every now and then, soothing the girl's emotions...

……

...

Back to the present time, the small group discussion became more and more lively, and the four Astorias also drank afternoon tea leisurely. A Valentine's Day activity like this must have nothing to do with their first-grade children...

"By the way, I remember there was a boy with a darker complexion and good looks among them? Why didn't I see him today?" As soon as Rosa raised her doubts, the Slytherin stone door opened in response.

As if echoing Rosa's words, Zabini's figure appeared in front of the door of the Slytherin lounge the next moment.

"Hello! Friends, guess who is back!" Zabini was dressed like a peacock, with a garland on his head and a green velvet bag in his hand filled with various gifts and love letters.

"It's a bit... too exaggerated!" Chloe was so shocked that her jaw dropped and she could almost stuff an entire egg in her mouth.

"Indeed, Zabini is really charming!" Astoria was also shocked by this overly flamboyant way of appearing, and nodded in admiration.

Zabini suddenly glanced over and winked slyly in Astoria's direction. Surprisingly, he didn't look greasy, but had a dark charm.

"Hey, Malfoy has been secretly watching you!" Seabrank's warm breath sounded close to her ears. Astoria backed away suddenly and scratched her itchy ears without paying attention. Shiblank just said something.

But she still noticed Siblank's eyes staring closely at her behind over her shoulder. Astoria could feel that there was someone standing behind her.

Astoria turned her head suddenly, and what she saw was a slender hand, which handed over an exquisite chocolate gift box.

When did Draco come over?

Oh no!

Why did Draco come over suddenly? And this inexplicable chocolate!

"Forgive me, for chocolate's sake."

Astoria raised her head to look at the source of the sound, and saw Draco's unconcealed expression, the tips of his ears were bleeding red, and his eyes were averted, obviously still unconvinced.

Astoria smiled, and she didn't know why she was laughing. She just looked at the young master in front of her who had always been arrogant and took the initiative to surrender, and suddenly she couldn't help but feel moved.

Even if he is not convinced, at least he knows how to think, is no longer so arrogant, and will think about the consequences before doing things in the future.

"What about you? Make up? For chocolate's sake."

Astoria didn't know where to take out the chocolate she had prepared for a long time. Although there was no exquisite packaging box, she could still see Draco's unconcealed joy and satisfaction.

One of them was sitting on the sofa, and the other was standing opposite. Hold each other's chocolate, look at each other, and smile at each other.
