(A/N: extra chapter because, why the hell not!)
Draco did not expect the black-haired and green-eyed boy in front of him to turn out to be the famous Harry Potter.
He heard the name from his father more than once.
In the pure blood family circle, there has always been a rumor.
It is said that Harry Potter was born to be a powerful dark wizard.
So he was banished from the wizarding world after defeating the Dark Lord.
Most blood purists fantasize about it, imagining that Harry Potter might also be a blood purity advocate, conveniently ignoring that he's a half-blood.
And his father, Lucius Malfoy, was also one of them.
'If I can become friends with Harry Potter, Dad should be very happy. '
He entertained such thoughts. He extended a small hand of friendship to Harry Potter.
It's just that he didn't know that Harry Potter's impression of him was extremely bad.
"I didn't expect you to be Harry Potter. This is Crabbe and this is Goyle. My name is Draco, Draco Malfoy."
Harry looked at the boy who appeared in front of him and immediately recalled the scene in the clothes shop before.
But before he could speak, Ronald Weasley on the side snickered.
This immediately aroused Draco's displeasure.
It is impolite to make fun of other people's names.
"Think my name's funny? I can tell who you are with just one look."
"Red hair, and old hand me down clothes, you must be a Weasley."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Harry.
"You'll find out that some wizarding families are better than others, Potter."
"Don't go around making friends with the wrong sort, I can help you there."
Harry looked at the little hand reaching out to him, ignored it and said with displeasure, "Thank you, but I can tell by myself the difference between good or bad."
He refused without hesitation, which made Ron very happy.
Draco was taken aback, from a really young age, countless people wanted to be friends with him.
And Harry was the first to reject him, causing anger to arise from the bottom of his heart.
Glaring at the boy in front of him he said, "You'll regret it, Potter!"
"Hey, don't bully my friends."
Ron stood in front of Harry, reaching out to give Draco a push.
Lucas, who was looking at this from behind, decided to interfere at this point. He separated the crowd and walked to Draco's side.
"Draco, go back to your compartment first."
"Lucas, this can't be left alone, I'm going to tell my father to expel this red-haired Weasley from Hogwarts."
Lucas rolled his eyes mentally.
Every time Draco has some problem he needs to go to his daddy for help…
"Listen to me and go back first."
Lucas gave him a cold look which made the impulsive Draco calm down instantly.
"Hmph, let's go!"
Watching Draco and his troll bodyguards leave, Lucas looked at the crowd of bystanders and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please return to your respective compartments. Congestion in the corridor will only cause trouble for others. Thank you."
His polite and elegant demeanor won him the favor of everyone.
He waited until the crowd cleared and only then did Harry exclaim, "It's you, we met that day at Madam Malkin's robe shop."
"We meet again, Harry Potter. Let me introduce myself. My name is Lucas Grindelwald."
...
(Harry Potter's compartment.)
Looking at the snacks scattered everywhere, Lucas and Hermione didn't know where to sit.
They finally managed to find a place to sit down after cleaning a bit.
"Thank you for just now, Lucas."
"No, I should say sorry, Draco is like a child who can't grow up because his parents have spoiled him his whole life, please don't pay attention to his words."
Seeing his good friend Harry chatting so happily with the blond boy.
Ron snorted softly.
"Malfoy's father was a Death Eater, and he certainly will be one as well."
His voice is soft, but the space in the carriage is not large, so the other three people can naturally hear him clearly.
Seeing three people looking at him, Ron stood up flushed.
"I, I just ate too many snacks, I need to go to the bathroom."
After that, he opened the door and walked out hastily.
Upon confirming that the other party had gone away, Lucas suddenly stretched out his right hand and said, "Harry, it's nice to meet you."
"Same."
Holding hands together, the boat of friendship set off smoothly.
Next.
It's time for Lucas to make trouble for Dumbledore.
Speaking of which, Harry Potter's childhood was really pitiful, used as a slave by his aunt's family.
No laughter, just scolding and endless chores.
Originally, Harry was used to all this, but suddenly one day, a strange giant man came and told Harry that he was a wizard and that his parents were also wizards.
He also told Harry that he was a hero who saved the wizarding world.
Adding the compliments of other people he met at Diagon Alley as if they were seeing Merlin.
It made this 11-year-old boy lose himself a bit.
It has to be said that Dumbledore is indeed very clever.
'As expected of my old man's first…'
'Cough, as expected of my old man's mortal enemy.'
Lucas withdrew his thoughts.
Looking at the silent duo, he said, "It shouldn't be far from Hogwarts. Do you have a specific house you want to enter?"
Hearing the question, Harry Potter said without hesitation: "Gryffindor, I've heard that Gryffindor is the best house."
Hermione on the side also nodded.
The same is true in "Hogwarts: A History".
As a top student, she believed in the contents of the book without a single doubt.
Lucas chuckled twice.
Amidst the confusion of the two, something surprising was said…
