Draco Wanted to Make Movies While Watching

"I was spoiled after all, and I knew nothing about the Diary and the Prophecy Orb. I just thought that Snape had stolen my father's favor." Draco knew how naive he had been.

"How could I be so stupid as to plot so loudly, just like Harry and the others, with an echo?"

"If anyone is with me, I'm definitely exposed."

"Snape makes sense, he probably wanted to deliberately expose Merlin's Beard! And there really is someone there... it's Harry!"

Rupert said, "That's a tradition in the movie Hogwarts: plotting loudly and being heard."

"The scene jumps to the train again. Snow White must be on Christmas holiday. I should believe Harry now, after hearing him recount it—" Movie Ron said, "Oh, Lavender, she's so romantic, drawing hearts on the glass with her smoke. Why didn't I let her in!"

"What's wrong with getting kissed until your lips are raw? Doesn't that mean she loves me?"

"How ungrateful! How disgusting! You lowly jackal!"

(Lavender: "Don't berate yourself for me, Ro-Ro-")

"Fine." Movie Ron shut his mouth angrily.

In the film, Draco didn't notice Ron. "The cinematography is good; the heart drawn with fog on the glass gradually disappears, indicating Ron and Lavender— "

"Shut up, Malfoy!" Movie Ron almost roared. "Lavender and I are doing just fine! Just like Harry and I are."

(Ginny, could you please stop using my boyfriend as an example?)

"Let's watch a movie," Rupert stepped in as peacemaker. "Harry was actually right here; it was Dumbledore who got Snape to help Draco."

"We already knew." Ron was still a little angry. "But Lupin, does he have Heavenly Eye? It's like he can Prophecy the future, haha! My dad also saw that Harry and Ginny were getting married soon, and he deliberately walked away to give them some space."

(Fred: "Anyone in the Weasley family would have done the same.")

(George: "Except for you.")

Ron couldn't refute the movie, because the next scene showed him forcibly sitting between Harry and Ginny. "Am I blind? The scene jumped again. My grandfather's warehouse. Harry is so reliable, he wrote letters to everyone. He's my dad, he found out about the Vanishing Cabinet."

Neville frowned. "Looking at it this way, Dumbledore really let things slide. Everyone could see that Draco had a problem, but because they trusted Dumbledore, they all chose to turn a blind eye."

"Oh no," Movie Ron frowned, "Ginny and Harry look like they're about to get intimate. Could it be... Phew! It's Bellatrix, not me."

"What do you mean it's lucky it was her?" Neville's eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets. "Bellatrix attacked your house! And Harry just blinded himself and ran out after her. If he could have fought back, that would have been fine, but he couldn't!"

(Lupin: "While I can understand how Harry feels, I couldn't stop him no matter how much I called him.")

(Harry: "You're taking too much of a risk, Ginny. You didn't need to run off with me.")

"This is original to the movie, and frankly, it's really crazy," Rupert said. "This part makes no sense at all. Apart from pushing Ginny and Harry's sword, Voldemort's demand to kill Harry himself is just to capture him. But Bellatrix just disappears, leaving only Fenrir Greyback."

"If it was to attack members of the Order of the Phoenix, then the Weasley family' house could have been burned down."

"That's not the point," Movie Ron said with a look of disgust. "The point is that I dared to look down on Lavender. She's so wonderful, especially that 'Good girl,' she's never called me that before!"

(Lavender: "Good boy, good boy. I'll call you that in person when we meet tonight.")

"No," Movie Ron chuckled, "That's not enough for me."

Draco was disgusted by the movie, saying, "Go watch a movie, Weasley."

"Memories related to Voldemort have resurfaced, including Professor Slughorn's! He was also the one who told us about the Horcrux."

"Why did it end so abruptly?"

(Slughorn: "Because I altered this memory, I actually told him that Horcrux were feasible, and he revealed to me his terrible idea of making seven Horcrux because he believed that seven was the most magical number.")

"Oh Harry, does he even know how to get information out of people? This is a complete recitation of Voldemort's words. It would be strange if Professor Slughorn told him."

"It's truly suffocating, but thankfully they didn't utter the word 'Horcrux'."

"Because Harry is Gryffindor," Ron said irritably. "He doesn't know the sycophantic tricks of you Slytherin."

Rupert coughed. "Although it's the same in the novels, and they even directly mention Horcrux, the novels actually show that Harry has a lot of potential in this area. Like Voldemort, he can please anyone if he wants to. This is a skill he honed in the Dursley family. The only difference between him and Voldemort is that he is unwilling to do this and prefers to be himself."

"This movie wasn't actually well made. It didn't show that Harry had the opportunity to become Voldemort at every step, but he rejected them and chose to be himself."

"Okay," said Movie Ron. "What's wrong with me?"

The next second he smiled again, "I really like Waiting, not Lavender? 'Do you think she knows me?' So, thank goodness it's not Hermione!"

"Amortentia, I guess," Draco the Movie says. "There's been some build-up. Hey! I'm getting better at this stuff. Maybe I really can make movies. Maybe I should start with live streaming."

In the movie, Ron smugly says, "I really am incredibly charming; someone has given me Love Potion."

(Lavender: "Romilda Vanni, stay away from my boyfriend!")

Rupert pointed out, "They were actually for Harry, those chocolates."

Ron's ears turned red as he said, "Everyone, let's watch the movie."

"Even though I know I've been Amortentia, I'm being so stupid."

Rupert was somewhat proud. "This was my clever idea, and the director praised my performance in this scene."

"The Bezoar wasn't properly foreshadowed. In the novel, Slughorn teaches students how to make an antidote in class, Hermione even says that the Half-Blood Prince can't help Harry this time because there's no fixed answer. You can only analyze the mixed poison to find the formula, work backward to find the antidote formula, and then brew it."

"And Harry, based on the prince's message—that all he had to do was stuff a Bezoar down his throat—found it as the answer."

"It was precisely because Harry had found it before that he was able to find the Bezoar so quickly to cure Ron when Ron was poisoned."

"I'm not in the hospital?" Ron asked in the movie, puzzled. "If I were in the hospital, Harry definitely wouldn't be in the mood to follow Malfoy. Hmm—could it be that he's planning to avenge me by attacking Malfoy?"

Rupert rolled his eyes. "The movie skipped a part. Lavender came to your room, and you pretended to be asleep and called out Hermione's name while Hermione Dumbledore were there, which made Lavender angry and run away."

Ron's face turned deathly pale. "Luckily, I skipped it."

"So," Draco in the movie raised an eyebrow, "You're all dating, and I'm just focused on my career."

"Shut up, Malfoy," said the movie Ron. "Your bird's dead, and you haven't made a name for yourself."

The birds used to test the Vanishing Cabinet are all dead, what's there to be proud of?

Then he changed the subject, "Poor thing, poor thing, Lavender's expression breaks my heart."

"The screen skipped again, thankfully."

Even if Ron is stupid, he would have guessed that the uncomfortable scenes between him and Hermione would be skipped.

"Hey, you're crying, Malfoy!"

In the movie, Draco calmly says, "Because I realized how stupid I was. I didn't know Dumbledore would go easy on me. In my opinion, even Harry Potter could see it, let alone the other professors, not to mention Dumbledore."

"I really wish I could enter St Mungo's's like that in the movie Potter Sectumsempra this spell?"

(Snape: "In my Potions Class textbook, I am the Half-Blood Prince.")

Neville hesitated for a moment, but then said, "This spell, Harry, is a bit too much..."

Rupert explained, "It's normal for Harry to act this way in the novel. First, the spell in the book is marked for use against enemies, and second, Draco used the Cruciatus Curse on Harry. Harry needs to use a spell powerful enough to retaliate. The Half-Blood Prince has helped him a lot this semester, and he chooses to believe in him."

This is Unforgivable Curses!

In the movie, Draco glanced at his alternate self in surprise, but then, remembering how he had been beaten up by his alter ego as soon as he arrived in this world, he was no longer surprised.

Instead, he chose to change the subject, saying, "The black bird is alive, which should mean the Vanishing Cabinet has been repaired."

Ron nodded, "Beauty can be a trap. If it weren't for Ginny's kiss, Harry would have definitely discovered the Vanishing Cabinet, which was right next to them, along with that strange bird. You know, the Room of Requirement can't conjure food and creatures out of thin air."

"Actually," Rupert chuckled mischievously, "In the novel, Harry hadn't yet had any intimate contact with Ginny at this point. When he took the Amortentia, his first thought was how to break Dean and Ginny. Then his intuition gave him the answer."

"When Dean and Ginny were walking through the portrait hole on their way back to the lounge after their date, he deliberately touched Ginny while he was invisible. I guess it was a sensitive area like her butt. Ginny got annoyed and said that Dean always did this, which led to their breakup."

("Always like this?" Harry was incredibly grateful that he went straight to Ginny, which prevented Ginny from going around looking for boyfriends to attract him.)

"Only then did Harry go to Hagrid based on his intuition."

(Ginny: "Harry ~")

"Looks like my Harry is being a bit more serious," Movie Ron glanced at Harry in this world, drawing a glare from Novel Ron, so he quickly changed the subject, "So, Professor Slughorn in the novel also steals herbs from the greenhouse?"

(Professor Sprout, who had just noticed. "Horace, you—")

Rupert shook his head. "It's not in the novel. In the novel, he's more cunning. He uses his professional Herbology knowledge to get close to Professor Sprout and get a large bunch of Venomous Tentacula leaves from her."

("A huge bunch!" Slughorn lamented, "If I had found the right buyer, I could have sold each piece for ten Galleon! I should have done that too.")

(Even though he was too greedy, he realized he wouldn't have the chance to be like the characters in the movies again.)

"In the novel, Slughorn didn't follow Harry because he was worried about Harry going out so late. He was drawn in by what Harry said about the funeral, the funeral of Aragog."

(Hagrid was incredibly grateful; if it weren't for the Summoning Card, his Aragog would probably be dead by now.)

Ron the movie immediately understood; his Summoning Card also contained the Acromantula. "Of course, the Acromantula's Venom is very valuable. Before the Summoning Card appeared, a pint of it was worth a hundred Galleon."

"But Professor Slughorn, are you really that bold? Taking the Venom from Aragog's corpse right in front of Hagrid?"

Rupert said, "In the novel, he took it secretly, when Hagrid wasn't looking."

"Harry probably got the correct memories while he was drinking with Hagrid," Neville guessed.

(Lily was overcome with emotion; the fish named Francis was the one she had given her, but it wasn't a living creature, but rather a product of Transfiguration. Slughorn's disappearance from her mouth was an implication that because of her death, the magic had failed, and the fish in the bowl had turned back into lily petals.)

"This part is original to the film, the story of Francis the Fish, but it's a very good original," Rupert said.

"I understand now why Professor Slughorn agreed to give Harry his memories," Neville said, his eyes glistening with tears. "'Otherwise the bowl will always be empty,' that line was so touching."

"Voldemort's seven Horcrux weren't actually seven he intended to create; the seven included himself," Rupert said. "Harry's Horcrux was an accident."

"That was a good change, the reaction between Harry Harmonious Soul Horcruxes. But it shouldn't have been like that, because the Gaunt's Ring has already been destroyed."

"But novels and movies are two different mediums, which makes the difference even more obvious."

"It implies that Harry is also Horcrux. Especially Dumbledore's double entendre—that creating Horcrux leaves a trace."

"His gaze was fixed on Harry's scar," Draco the movie interjected. "And this line, 'I think I might have found another Horcrux, but this time I can't destroy it by myself.'"

"And then Dumbledore, with tears in his eyes, says, 'So Harry, I need your help again.'"

"Great!"

"Because it's almost equivalent to telling Harry that you have to die at Voldemort's hands to destroy your Horcrux, and that you have to sacrifice yourself."

"The scene shifted to Professor Snape again? Professor Snape's voice even sounded like he was about to cry," Neville joined in the discussion about the movie. "Are they talking about killing Dumbledore? And was his pause before leaving to see Harry's eyes when he appeared next?"

Did Harry hear the conversation? Did he know Snape was innocent?

(Snape's facial muscles contort, "Shut up! Lumbaton!")

Rupert shook his head. "You're mostly right. But Harry didn't know Snape was innocent before Snape gave Harry his memories."

(Snape: "Grint, what are you thinking with that Troll head of yours? I'm not... Lily, what are you doing here? I'm not worthy of... Lily.")

(In the afterlife, James suddenly felt his head become heavy.)

"Harry doesn't want to think about whether Snape is innocent, and the movie changed that a lot."

"Dumbledore was essentially implying that he and Snape had a plot, implying that Snape, who killed him, was innocent."

"But Harry can't accept the possibility that the person who killed Dumbledore was innocent. He needs to find someone to hate."
