Harry smiled helplessly.

While he was eating, Mrs. Weasley shooed the Ron twins and Malfoy down to wash up and have breakfast.

Just after the boys finished cleaning up, Johanna and the three of them walked down the stairs together.

"Good morning."

Soon the table became very lively, the place was packed with people, everyone was eating and drinking, and the twins were secretly playing pranks on each other with their wands.

"So, how did it feel last night? We both almost got caught by Death Eaters. Did You-Know-Who bring a hundred Death Eaters to throw green fireworks behind your ass?"

Harry smiled helplessly: "Not that many, and they are no match for Moody."

The twins laughed together: "Moody is so cool!"

"We will have to think about whether to install a prosthetic eye in the future."

Ron shook his head: "If you put on false eyes, mother can tell who George is."

The twins looked at Ron in surprise: "You are really a devil, Ronald!"

"Although you prevented us from making mistakes, it was cruel to say it so directly!"

Ron smiled: "I'm just imitating you. Pranks are everywhere, right?"

The twins laughed together.

Hermione smiled and shook her head: "Harry, why do you think Ron is so happy?"

Harry was stunned for a moment, then laughed in surprise: "Catherine is coming?"

Hermione was stunned: "How do you know?"

Harry shook his head: "I don't know why I suddenly understood..."

"She's really coming!"

Hermione smiled and nodded: "Catherine is a relative of Fleur. They are both mixed-bloods of enchantress. You know that kind of wizard is actually rare. She is coming to Fleur's wedding, and she seems to be a bridesmaid."

Harry smiled and glanced at Ron, who was now smiling happily.

He shook his head: "It couldn't be better..."

But deep down, Harry felt a sudden pang of disappointment.

He knew that Ron would be willing to follow him to do anything, but it was absolutely impossible for Harry to take Catherine on an adventure, and it was even less possible for him to separate Ron and Catherine for the things Dumbledore had given him. .

And Mrs. Weasley is here.

It wasn't until he completely lost the family he never felt he had that Harry vaguely understood how important it was. Homeless people could wander anywhere, but Ron couldn't.

He could go to Hogwarts, or even stay here and help the Order of the Phoenix. No matter what, at least Mrs. Weasley wouldn't go crazy worrying about him.

But soon Harry no longer cared about that.

Preparations for Bill and Fleur's wedding begin.

Everyone was assigned countless tasks, and they began to take action to transform the Burrow into another place completely.

Lu Ke and Johanna didn't have many tasks, but like other members of the Order of the Phoenix, they went out early and came back late every day, busy with some secret things.

Harry never got a chance to talk to them.

But I always bump into Malfoy.

Malfoy now was the worst Harry could imagine.

He completely lost the self-confidence he had at any time before and became a sluggish person who looked extremely thin, even a little thinner than Harry.

The three Harrys were at a loss every time they saw him, because they didn't know what to say, but every time Malfoy would hide away first, as if he was running away from everyone.

"He doesn't actually have to do this."

Harry had extremely complicated feelings about Malfoy.

He knew that Malfoy wanted to be a hero and wanted to attract Hermione's attention, so there seemed to be nothing wrong with that. His plan failed, and it caused Lu Ke to lose the villain in the bottle, but since he was fighting Voldemort, then failure was normal.

Malfoy is not actually a bad person, and his mistakes are not unforgivable.

And in fact, the Weasley family was willing to let him stay at the Burrow because they had forgiven him.

It's a pity that Malfoy himself can't forgive himself.

Every time Harry looked at Malfoy sympathetically, Ron would shake his head next to him, and Hermione would turn away from Harry.

"Did you make a mistake, Harry?"

Finally, Hermione told Harry directly what she thought.

"No one is blaming Malfoy, he's just giving up on himself."

"Lu Ke told him to stay here a long time ago. Everything that happened after that was caused by him."

"No one has the obligation to take care of his feelings. If he starts working hard now to fight the Death Eaters, I will still regard him as a friend. But what is he doing? He feels that he is repenting. I only see him wasting time. , and causing trouble for others!”

Harry was speechless.

Still, knowing that Hermione was right, Harry felt that Malfoy didn't deserve to be treated like this.

"Can we...can we think of a way to help?"

As soon as he heard Harry say this, Ron smiled helplessly.

As expected, Hermione shook her head coldly: "No, we still have our own things to be busy with. If he doesn't do this, he won't be able to help. He is just an ordinary student at Hogwarts."

Harry was speechless.

He didn't know why, but he felt that Hermione had become a lot worse-tempered since the beginning of this summer vacation.

Harry was sure he was right.

Finally, during a break one day, Harry secretly lay under a bush in the garden and asked Hermione about it.

"I don't know if I can help..."

As soon as Harry said this, he suddenly found Hermione crying silently next to him.

"Hermione?"

Harry quickly got up.

"sorry."

Hermione shook her head: "That's not your fault..."

She slowly sat up with her back to the bushes: "I...just every time I see Malfoy, I feel like I see myself..."

Harry was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand why Hermione said that.

Hermione shook her head with tears in her eyes: "I have... modified my parents' memories and asked them to go on vacation... Unless we defeat the mysterious man, they will not come back..."

Harry sat next to Hermione and hugged her shoulders.

Hermione rested her head on Harry's shoulder.

"Every time I see Malfoy, I remember that I am also homeless..."

"If we lose in the end, then..."

"I really regret it. I should erase all their memories... at least then they will never be sad because of me."

Harry shook his head: "Erasing memories is useless."

"Malfoy thought it was enough that he had Occlumency, but Voldemort still knew exactly what he was going to do."
