"Listen to me, don't panic..."
"You just need to do your best, and no one will look down on you."
Professor McGonagall was giving instructions constantly, sounding very anxious.
As Professor McGonagall's voice got closer, Draco's heartbeat quickened.
She bit her lip lightly, made up her mind, and moved to the right side of the stone steps.
With his head lowered, not daring to meet Harry's eyes, he walked up the stone steps.
I don't know when my ears and the back of my neck started to feel hot.
There is an illusion that the cold air around is being evaporated into mist.
As the tip of Harry's shoe came into view, Draco gently placed his left hand over his pounding heart.
He mustered up the courage to look up, and the moment his eyes met Harry's, he took another step forward.
Just standing parallel to Harry.
The two of them turned their heads at the same time and stared at themselves in each other's eyes.
Draco raised his left palm from over his heart and tremblingly touched Harry's left breast.
I could feel his heartbeat was just as strong as my own.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Harry raise his left hand as well, and then I felt the warmth of his palm on the back of my hand.
Draco was sweating a little, but he didn't mind.
He interlaced his fingers between his own and felt that he was shaking too.
Ren Harry clasped his palms together with a little excitement, clasped his delicate and smooth hands together, and pressed them against his chest.
His heartbeat passed through his five clenched fingers, over his palms and arms, and into his heart.
The entanglement lasted only a few seconds, but it suddenly became eternity.
Her face was flushed and her breath was as fragrant as orchid.
"come on."
After whispering, Draco withdrew his left hand, which was slightly painful from being held.
He lowered his head again and walked quickly into the restaurant.
Along the way, I didn't dare to guess what Professor McGonagall's expression was.
She didn't know that behind her, Professor McGonagall seemed to be shocked by the scene just now, with her mouth open and unable to speak.
After a long time, he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Potter, next time, if you want to do this, remember to tell me first."

The first level's competition venue is at the other side of the Forbidden Forest.
Draco only had some black truffle fried eggs for lunch, and then walked towards the campus with Daphne, Pansy and Astoria.
Before stepping out of the Great Hall, I met Hannah and the Hufflepuff students.
Each of them wore a "Go Cedric Diggory" badge.
But the texture, color, and even the font of these badges,
They were much more elegant than the crude products that had angered Draco on campus before.
More importantly, if you snap it, the badge will just glow brightly.
There will be no "Porter Big Scum" words.
It's just a simple product to cheer Cedric up.
Hannah winked at them playfully.
-----
?After Draco melted down a large box of badges, affecting Hufflepuff students,
That night, Daphne Pansy and Draco hurriedly made an appointment with Hannah, fearing that conflicts in the college would anger their close friends.
Hannah just shook her head and spoke cheerfully.
"I don't like those badges either."
"Besides, although it is a bit pitiful that the child was punished like this,"
"But what he did originally was bullying Harry. It would be good for him to learn a lesson."
Draco couldn't help but be surprised at Hannah's generosity and liveliness.
It was not until her face turned red and she continued talking that I began to understand the reason.
"I have...good friends...in Gryffindor, too,"
“I don’t want the competition to cause bad feelings among us.”
“I’m making a new badge, one that just cheers for Cedric.”
Hannah caught a glimpse of Draco's expression and hurried to explain before Pansy could start teasing Draco.
"He is a Hufflepuff after all."
"After this is done, I hope that everyone who supports Cedric won't have to wear bullying stuff anymore."
After that, he held Draco's hand and said playfully.
"Ah! But I will support Harry too. I just hope he comes in second, hehe."
-----
Draco returned Hannah's gaze, feeling secretly grateful and somewhat impressed.
Looking around, there were indeed many people wearing the new badges made by Hannah.
Almost all Hufflepuff students wore them, and there were also many Ravenclaw students who showed their support.
Hufflepuff's attitude towards things is indeed very different from Slytherin's.
While building harmony among people, it does not offend anyone at all, thus resolving the mentality of students who like to take advantage of others' misfortunes.

The first level of the competition kicked off under the hosting of Ludo Bagman.
Draco was nervous and somewhat disappointed to find that Mr. Crouch was not there.
Bagman told me he hasn't been feeling well lately.
Draco wondered whether he should write a letter after the tournament, or ask Dobby to contact Winky again.
His mind was preoccupied with the old gentleman who always cared about him, so he didn't hear Bagman explaining the content of the level.
Astoria added that the fighters had to find a way.
Go around the mother dragon guarding the dragon eggs and get the golden egg placed in the nest.
The shorter the completion time and the less damage you take, the higher your score.
If any dragon eggs are damaged, the corresponding points will be deducted.
"If you use a Transfiguration spell to conjure something to attract the dragon's attention and make it leave the nest,
"Use the summoning spell to call the broom, and while it's distracted, fly over and grab the golden egg. You should be able to pass the level."
Seeing Astoria's confused expression, Daphne and Pansy each explained to her possible ways to pass the level.
In theory, this was true, but Draco knew that there were always many unexpected events in such competitions.
When the sound of fireworks rang out, I unconsciously tightened my folding fan.
It wasn't until Daphne's hand was holding his own that he tried to regulate his breathing under the soothing look of her eyes.
-
Time passed amid cheers and screams.
Cedric, who appeared first, did use Transfiguration as the three had expected.
He transformed a fallen rock in the field into a wolf-dog, which circled outside the lair and successfully lured the dragon away from its den.
But after that, he ran to get the golden egg.
As it moves on the ground, it turns itself into the new bait for the Swedish shortbill dragon.
The hot breath burned my sides.
"Isn't this stupid? He is basically competing with the wolfdog to see who is more eye-catching, right?"
Pansy commented with a shocked look on her face.
Draco was somewhat relieved that Hannah wasn't sitting next to them.
Fleur, on the other hand, cast a sleeping spell on the dragon.
Except for the fact that the hem of her skirt was accidentally burned by her sleepy snoring, she passed the test smoothly.
“Very elegant.”
Daphne seemed to appreciate her strategy.
Astoria, instigated by Pansy, kept yelling.
I think Fleur's temperament is not as good as her sister and Draco.
When it was Krum's turn to appear, Pansy couldn't help but move closer.
"He's not interested in you, is he?"
"Absolutely not. He can't even pronounce my name correctly."
Draco said bluntly.
From childhood to adulthood, there have been many people around me who have been courteous to me, and I can tell their intentions by intuition.
Krum's purpose of wandering in the library was definitely not for himself.
"What a shame. I wanted to see Potter jealous..."
The data is still falling every day, and I am still asking for gifts!!!... Those who don’t have the ability should give more “power for love”! (Each person can give “three”, and really give all the free gifts, because there are really not many people giving gifts now compared to before!) I don’t mind paid gifts!!! It’s still the extra update plan, you should have seen it before!
