William's encounter with Malfoy was purely accidental.

One morning, he went to find Fred to play the game for him, and then, not far from the Gryffindor common room, he spotted Malfoy acting suspiciously.

William didn't pay much attention at first, but after it happened several times, he became very curious and used Disillusionment Charm to hide next to Malfoy.

Malfoy waited for about twenty minutes until Harry and Ron came out. He watched them walk away silently before leaving, looking dejected.

So William pretended to bump into him and started chatting.

At first, the two only talked about the products in Akali's Mystery Shop.

After several in-depth conversations, William knew what Malfoy would say, since he always said similar things.

As this happened more and more often, William learned more and more about Malfoy. Every time they met, after only a few words, Malfoy would consider him a close friend.

Malfoy was very distressed.

He complained to William, "It was me, it was me first, I was the one who got here first... whether it was knowing Potter or talking to him."

But Potter and Weasley are inseparable, they're always together, which makes me very uncomfortable!

William, like a caring older brother, advised Malfoy not to give up, to try to become good friends with Harry, and then to applaud their friendship.

William also told Malfoy several pieces of toxic motivational quotes, which he could spout off all day long without repeating himself.

Finally William encouraged Malfoy: "No matter what difficulties we encounter, don't be afraid. Face them with a smile. The best way to eliminate fear is to face it. Perseverance is victory. Keep it up, you can do it!" (Raises eyebrows)

Malfoy was so provoked that he howled and vowed to get on good terms with Potter, and then he couldn't wait to go find him.

William longed to see Malfoy's expression when he suddenly heard that Potter was dead while searching for Potter everywhere... Would he be unable to accept it and follow him in death?

Occasionally, Malfoy would also complain about Pansy Parkinson.

Their relationship underwent a dramatic change because of their kiss on the train when school started.

Pansy has come clean; she's not pretending anymore.

Malfoy must be held responsible!

Old Malfoy also suggested that his son be with Pansy.

Because if Draco marries Pansy, he can inherit a large portion of the Parkinson family's fortune.

This includes a small dragon farm owned by the Parkinson family in the Falkland Islands.

Despite the decline of the Great British Empire and the long-collapse of its colonial system, it still has a considerable number of overseas territories.

For example, the Falkland Islands...

The Falkland Islands still have many historical issues to address.

Ten years ago, United Kingdom and Argentina went to war over a dispute over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands.

At the time, the hardliners, represented by the Iron Lady Mrs Thatcher, worried that if United Kingdom lost the Falkland Islands, it would trigger a chain reaction of the United Kingdom losing other overseas territories. Therefore, they sent warships to Argentina's doorstep and forcibly reoccupied the Falkland Islands.

Why did this war happen? It was because Voldemort suddenly collapsed, and although the United Kingdom Ministry of Magic was rebuilt, it was weak.

The Argentina Ministry of Magic is trying to take advantage of the chaos and bite into the neck of the Great British Empire.

Back then, established Pure-blood families contributed both money and effort, since they had vested interests, like the Parkinson family... who also had several dragon farms up there!

Young Malfoy also longed for a dragon farm and dreamed of becoming a dragon rider, but he didn't like Pansy.

William soon ran into Pansy again.

He used the same trick again and quickly became Pansy's best male friend.

According to Pansy, she and Malfoy were childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little.

She complained that too many people liked Draco and asked William for advice.

What other ideas could William offer? He could only hint to Pansy that her biggest rival was actually Harley Potter.

William told Pansy the importance of making the relationship irreversible, urging her to pursue him boldly, especially since Malfoy was heartbroken today, which presented an opportunity to take advantage of his vulnerability!

"Why would you help me?" Pansy asked, her mind racing with overthinking.

She covered her mouth, exclaiming in surprise, "Could it be...? Oh no, no!"

William, you're my best male friend, my good friend, although you're very outstanding... it's impossible for us.

Yes, you're handsome... I really like your type... but... sigh, if only you had met me sooner...

"..." William really wanted to say that he was just bored out of his mind and had no improper thoughts about Pansy.

After all, he looks like a pug... William thinks Malfoy's assessment is quite apt.

Having met many different kinds of people, William discovered that there were quite a few interesting people at Hogwarts.

Two hundred days have passed in the blink of an eye.

William now occasionally visits Babbling, but spends most of his time entangled with Dumbledore.

William wants to learn Apparition.

You really need to go to the principal about this.

Hogwarts School of Design has Anti-Apparition and Anti-Apparition Jinx.

The Anti-Apparition Charm can prevent wizards from entering Hogwarts through Apparition.

The Anti-Apparition Jinx prevents wizards from Apparition out of Hogwarts, so they must leave the school grounds to Apparate.

Hogwarts did not initially have these two spells. It was only after the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy came into effect in 1692 that the school prohibited Apparition.

However, the headmaster has the privilege of being able to undo magic on a small scale, allowing everyone to practice.

At this moment, only William and Dumbledore in the empty classroom.

"William, are you sure you want to learn Apparition?" Dumbledore asked.

"The minimum age to obtain a license is seventeen. Even if you learn it now, it's still illegal."

William laughed and said, "It's nothing, I'm just practicing, I don't actually know how to use it."

This statement is just as hypocritical as "I'll just rub against you, I won't go in," and anyone who believes it is an idiot.

Dumbledore, of course, didn't believe it. He shrugged. "In principle, I don't recommend you study now."

William asked, "Professor Dumbledore, when did you learn Apparition?"

"Hmm... I can't remember exactly, it was during the summer vacation after my first year," Dumbledore recalled.

William rolled his eyes. The principal himself had learned that in first grade, and now he was being told it was illegal.

"There's a reason I learned that," Dumbledore said calmly. "Back then, I needed to go home every weekend."

The Hogwarts Express doesn't run on weekends, so without Apparition, it will take a very long time to get home.

William raised an eyebrow; he had heard more than once that Dumbledore used to go home every weekend during his student days.

In fact, William never met Dumbledore's family, and the headmaster spent most of his time living at the school.

However, Dumbledore over a hundred years old, and his parents and such are probably long gone.

As for the other relatives, I don't know if they're still alive.

It's a pity. Actually, it's not that twilight romances are discouraged, since no one seems to be against it. Who is Dumbledore worried about?

William was completely baffled by his sister.

(Thanks to "Fengling Shiwu" and "Hell Cat" for their generous donations.)
