Chapter 63: what is glory
Since they kissed in the Room of Requirement two nights ago, the relationship between Iger and Hermione has progressed by leaps and bounds. .
However, this has caused Hermione a lot of criticism, because there are always a lot of girls in the school who have a good impression of Iger, and many people have been making irresponsible remarks about Hermione's blood in private, but with Iger around, No one dared to speak in front of others so blindly.
Iger is not only in Hogwarts, but also has a high popularity in the British wizarding world. Whether it is the power in silence or the rumored power, or the owner of Hogwarts Castle, I will give it to him. It has brought a lot of praise and followers. If Iger can raise his arms and say which pure blood family he is descended from, then you don't have to think about it. .
In this case, except when Voldemort was in school, even Grindelwald was not so popular when he was in Durmstrang.
Grindelwald showed a lot of ambition when he was in school, so he was criticized. When Voldemort was in school, he tied the pure blood family by his blood and all kinds of flattery. This is undoubtedly what Voldemort did. Well, of course it's not ruled out that Grindelwald disdains doing that...
And what about Iger? Iger is very powerful. He only has twins and two unreliable second generals. The most awesome action every day is to loot the Hogwarts kitchen, and his daily activity as the head of the organization is to bask in the sun...
"The elf in our family said that Iger is a pure-blood, pure can't be purer..."
In the Slytherin common room, Malfoy was leaning on the sofa angrily. He has been in a bad mood recently. Lucius and Narcissa are going abroad for Christmas. He can only stay at school this Christmas. It was over, and Malfoy at this time was looking indignant at the two servants.
"Iger shouldn't be so close to that... Hermione Granger!" Malfoy said with a frown. He wanted to say Mudblood, but he was afraid of reaching Iger's ears, so he could only call his name.
"I think Mr Morrissey has a good eye!" Not far away, a little blond girl looked at Malfoy with a frown holding a book: "I don't think there is anything wrong with a Muggle-born wizard, Who among you has better grades than Miss Granger?"
There was a flush on Malfoy's face, a little angry, and a little embarrassed. The girl in front of him was called Astoria Greengrass. Every time he talked to this girl, his face flushed and his heart beat faster, which made Malfoy Annoyed, he felt he shouldn't be afraid of a girl.
"But Iger is even better!" Malfoy's voice was a little louder: "There are many good girls from pure-blood families, they are of noble birth..."
"For example?" Astoria held the book, squinted her eyes and whispered, and said to a quiet room not far away: "Like Miss Burst? She is pure blood, very pure and pure. Bloodline, are you not afraid of Mr Morriss killing you?"
Malfoy looked at the quiet room not far away, and there was a tall, stocky girl with a fat chin eating a piece of cream cake. Judging from the weight, it should be higher than the tonnage of Crabbe and Goyle.
Malfoy's heart beat faster. On the one hand, it was because of the approach of the beautiful girl in front of him. On the other hand, he was frightened. Astoria was right. If he dared to introduce Burst to Iger, Iger would definitely kill him. Yes, not to mention Iger, Malfoy, who is also a Slytherin classmate, feels scared...
"But there are many more suitable ones..." Malfoy said dryly, "Even if it's a mixed race..."
"I think the reason why Mr. Morrisers is respected and loved is because he doesn't have any pedigree in his eyes, and it is precisely because of this that the wizarding world commented on him as the strongest of the new generation that has risen rapidly after Dumbledore. Wizard." Astoria emphasized.
"You seem to admire him so much, why don't you be his girlfriend?" Malfoy cried out annoyed, inexplicably impatient.
There was a crisp sound of 'pop', and a red slap print appeared on Malfoy's face. Astoria was angry like a blown-up kitten: "Worship and liking are two different things, Draco, you guys. The tutoring at home really disappointed me!"
Malfoy touched his face blankly, then looked at the girl in front of him angrily: "You dare to hit me?"
"What? Do you want your father to call back for you? I'm not afraid of your father! My father is also one of the directors of Hogwarts! The same as the Twenty-Eight Family, Greengrass' bloodline is stronger than that of Malfoy. It's even old, don't you like this kind of tune?" Astoria looked at Malfoy angrily, then turned her head and left.
"Draco, are you alright?" After a long time, Goyle, who was behind him, came to his senses and stepped forward to look at Malfoy suspiciously.
"It's alright..." Malfoy's face was a little ugly, and the girl's mockery just hurt his self-esteem.
"I really don't know what she's doing? Isn't she always pure blood first?" Malfoy said angrily, "Do I always call my dad?"
Crabbe and Gore looked at each other naively, then looked at Malfoy and nodded, Malfoy's face was even more ugly.
In fact, Malfoy hasn't been in a good mood these days since he was knocked off a broom by Harry during a Quidditch match the other day.
Looking at the back of the girl who was walking away, Malfoy snorted, turned and left the common room.
Not long after leaving the Slytherin common room, Malfoy saw Iger lying on a stone step in the castle courtyard promenade basking in the sun, with a thick fur coat under him.
"Yo Good afternoon, Draco." Iger squinted his eyes to see who was coming, and then lay down comfortably, like a big cat enjoying the sun.
It is rare to have sunny days in the UK in winter. Today is the weekend, and Iger intends to bask in the sun comfortably.
"Iger..." Malfoy grinned, wanting to say something, but stopped.
"Lost boy, you seem to have something on your mind..." Iger lay lazily on his coat, turned his head slightly and looked at Malfoy curiously: "Why are there so few words today?"
In the past, Malfoy always looked like a dog's leg when he saw Iger, or he tried his best to criticize Harry and Ron. Today, Iger felt that Malfoy seemed to be unexpectedly silent.
Malfoy sat on the stone steps not far from Iger with a stinky face. Iger raised his eyebrows when he watched Malfoy's movements. on the stone steps.
"Iger, what do you think of the pure-blood family?" Malfoy turned to look at Iger in a daze.
"A pure-blood family...they are rich, and the rest is nothing..." Iger said with smacking his lips.
"Is it just rich?" Malfoy frowned slightly: "Is there no sense of honor?"
Iger was stunned for a while, then sneered: "Why glory?"
"Bloodliness..." Malfoy said confidently, and then looked at Iger's half-smile eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little lack of confidence.
"I've heard that some people are honored for being brave, some people are honoring for justice, some people are honoring for saving an innocent life, and even for some sick people, trying to live is honor." Iger shook his head slightly: "The Malfoy family has a long history, and your ancestors are honored because of what they did, but I don't think there is anything to be honored about bloodlines, Draco."
Malfoy stared at Iger in a daze. He didn't understand what Iger said. Iger sighed when he looked at him, and then spoke softly.
"Have you ever done anything worthy of honor?" Iger asked Draco, looking at him.
"I... have a talent for Quidditch. My father praised me before. Does UU read www.uukanshu.com count?" Malfoy looked at Iger regularly.
"Of course, why not?" Iger nodded: "Even I think it was something to be proud of when you got along well with Buckbeak, what do you think?"
Malfoy's pale face flushed slightly, and Iger's praise made him a little embarrassed.
"Compared to that, Draco... What kind of glory can your bloodline bring you?" Iger stretched out his hand to support his head and looked at Malfoy who was sitting not far away: "Can you get money from the ground? Massacre giant Dragon? Or can you live forever?"
Malfoy listened to Iger's words and fell into contemplation, and Iger smiled softly: "The so-called glory has always been earned by ourselves, and the so-called human beings have always lived for glory or ideals that sound illusory, Whether wizard or Muggle, Malfoy, is your glory just being complacent about being pureblood?"
Iger's words were very serious, and he tore the fig leaf of the pure-blood family directly, and put the facts naked in front of Malfoy.
Malfoy was stunned by what Iger said. He lowered his head and felt a little confused. These words Iger said had a very strong impact on his values for more than ten years.
"What is Iger's glory?"
After a long time, Malfoy raised his head and stared into Iger's eyes carefully, trying to find a satisfactory answer from Iger's eyes.
"My glory... um-" Iger yawned, a little sleepy, and stretched his fingers around: "For example, no matter how turbulent the world is, everything that I can protect and love is my glory, don't Look at me then, I don’t have any lofty ideals, my biggest ideal is to have two wives, and then I have nothing to do to have a party with friends…”
