(…morning: 6:50 am, location: Unknown)
What he sees was not expected for Goblin to act like this. This Goblin looks nothing the same but super different in some way. For example, the way this goblin wearing was the looks of the royal robe and a sharp eye of red gold with an eagle eye on its iris. His size body is a size of a big human that is taller than his average height.
‘I’m confused’, thought Lucas Malfoy as he stared hard at the goblin who stare back while smiling in delight.
‘Is it satisfied look for you, Mr. Malfoy?’ said the unknown Goblin that stand in front of him as goblin stare softly as if knowing him. Even if they never met before, or is it?
‘Who are you, Mr. Goblin?’ quick but sharp question by the handsome man known as the lost brother of Draco Malfoy named, Lucas Malfoy.
‘I was known as the dark one but simple one. Only you can capture my heart, Master Malfoy’
‘That’s not an answer for me! Or knowing who you are? What do you mean to capture your heart?!’
‘Forgive me, my darling one. Your great-great-grandmother created me to protect you and your youngest brother. Capturing my heart means you always be my loving one and my name is Edin, my master’ said the goblin named Edin with his eyes once again having sharp edges of red gold as if there were no lies on them but only truth.
‘Do you love me? For what?! And why me? I had nothing! and all I had is my ONLY youngest brother who had his memory sealed by my own parents? So, tell me why?’ desperate voice soon captures his words as he stares in curious for the goblin known as Edin to reply to him back.
Edin stares in awe as he thinks of the right words to reply back to the man he loves for many years and how long it takes to take this man with him in safety place, ‘love is a separate bind, my master. I love you for many years and this time was the time you see me in real life. Even if you had nothing, you are a precious gift for me and only me, my lovely master’
Lucas Malfoy just stares and stares. His words were lost and feel defeated for the time and knowing this make him even more flustered than he ever felt.
But why does this goblin feel familiar or just him feeling it?
(…)
As time passed by, there was an awkward pause between the two figures as they both tried to say something but wonder if it was proper, ‘I was- ‘said both men at the same time.
‘Oh…well you go first then’ said the goblin name Edin as his eyes were looking behind him and then staring into his eyes. As if the goblin were trying to avoid him for the rest of the trip back to his little brother, Draco. Or somewhere else, which he was not sure where.
He is the eldest brother even though his little brother doesn’t know about him and he decided to ask the hesitated question, ‘Would my brother, Draco, accept me as his brother?’
His eyes look at the goblin with pure sadness like his world was going down if his only alive brother, Draco decline his everything.
The handsome Goblin named Edin with his usual witty smile and slowly said in the most honest answer to the oldest one name Lucas, ‘He will, my beautiful master’
Hearing the honest answer makes him, Lucas, flustered and smiling wide as the Goblin prepares the exact location to hide and to heal Lucas who is indeed still in pain from previous torture and loss of weight, ‘are you ready? My beautiful master?’ Asked Edin with his worried expression. With no words from Lucas and received a simple nod from him.
And with both goblin and Lucas disappear from there as if there were no magic trace or any signature of both of them vanishing in the air.

(…morning: 9:30 am, location: Diggory’s mansion)
‘-do you think he will like this present, mother?’ said the tall and handsome kind face named, Cedric Diggory. As he stares nervously at his mother in wonder if the gift was okay to gift to his precious and only cousin.
‘hmmm’
‘Mother?’
‘Well...it seems it had less presenting matter?’
‘Ah? Less presenting matter? Meaning, mother’ said Cedric as he looks confusing toward his mother’s judgement on the gift he bought or created. Which he holds dearly in fear, as his mother had sudden twinkling eyes, ‘Aha! I know just a thing for this matter heh heh heh’
‘Mother… please don’t tell me you going to use that! Father will be scared and am too. Oh no! -‘
‘eheehehehehehehehhe’
‘Mother please no!’
‘ahahahhhahahah’
‘Mother! I’m calling Father right now. Calling father- ‘Before he cries for help, his father is here with confusion and fear at the same time, ‘What is going on here? What the! My love no! That material is so NOT ALLOW for children to use, especially for the gift!!’ said Mr Diggory as his face was full of red blush appeared on his face and feared his beloved had decided to use a scary material for this precious gift to their only nephew living.
‘Oh gosh no!’ Cedric looks redder and his mother looks happier than ever to wrap it like a precious treasure.
‘Oh, honey dear and my lovely son~ this material wrapping is better than lonely soul and not presenting parts for this lovely gift~’
‘But dear- ‘
‘No, but my love this is perfect for ‘
‘But mother that material is too much like too dirty thought for people to see! Like…like-’
‘Not good to show male parts as gifts? Oh dearly’
‘-like yeah! Wait…MOTHER! Just change it, please! OH god!’
Well, that whole morning was a very observe and warming moment for the three families, as the search is still ongoing for Lovey wrapped for Draco’s gift for the proper matter before sending it to him and meeting him alone without a fight.
(….)
(Meanwhile in a different location but same time: 9:20 am)
Life at Hogwarts was a different aspect as words for warmness than in his childhood home, which made him recall the painful memory. But. It’s better to forget about it and maybe move on. Maybe. Just maybe. The man with hair like a raven name Severus as he wakes up with silent coldness in the room and the warm burn still spark from the fireplace making him on edge, ‘hmmm…’ This morning was no better as a different form of life as Headmaster usually said, ‘fascinating, my boy’.
Once again having this feeling warm his heat and warm figure still hold tight on his waist as if fearing to lose him as he wonders to this unspeakable behaviour, ‘Why are you fearing wolf? What happens?’ Severus whisper as he curiously watched the wolf’s name, Remus Lupin who sleep soundly as if no one would bother his lovely dreaming world at all.
Knock
Knock
Knock
Knock
The sound of multiple knocking startled Severus but soon he calmed himself and slowly he asks gently toward the shut door in Infront of him, ‘Yes? Who is it?’.
‘Ah! Severus, it’s me, Professor Minerva! Need to speak with you alone, and If okays we need to talk and it is urgent’ stated Professor Minerva with her eyes staring at the closed door and already sniffing the scent inside the room. As knowing the wolf is inside with Severus as well. Curious but time will tell from the two professors in an even comfort relationship than enemy each day.
With curious feeling, Severus slowly released himself from the sleepy wolf-man named Remus, “coming!”. As Severus dress himself quickly and with a quick look from the sleepy wolf, he slowly walks out and was curious to reason of his coworker was trying to talk about.
“What is it, Minerva?” ask Severus, while he slowly close the door and lock it and faced his way to the coworker who had a serious look.
“You see, Severus. I feel like Albus, our headmaster was not telling us the truth story about the dark lord or Mr. Potter’s situation. Do you also feel that way?” Minerva's eyes were full of seriousness as she needed an answer from her sharp words like a snake from her coworker, Severus.
“I thought I was the one thinking that way, Minerva. However, even if we discuss this truth, will it give us the solution? Or will our headmaster tell us honestly? You know how secretive he is, said Severus with his eyes full of truth than speaking nonsense.
‘I also can’t seem to deny that statement of yours, however, how are we going to settle this?’ said Minerva as her worry and knowing things would go side way. She waits for an answer but no words come out from her coworker named, Severus Snape.
‘Severus? Professor Snape?’ she notices while seeing Severus was very focused on something. Not sure if it was the headmaster, Albus or Mr Potter or the dark lord or the sleepy wolf that she had smelled from Severus’s room.
‘Is this about your sleepy wolf?’ said Minerva as if her guess the answer was right when Severus’s eyes were glaring hard for saying it obviously.
‘Maybe? I’m not sure Minerva’ as Severus feels more confused than ever, ‘why hesitate?’ said Minerva in question as she also feels confused by his hesitant answer.
‘You see, that wolf and I are certainly different in species kind but feeling would it be the same? As he right now is with that disgusting dog’ Severus blur out his questioning his situation as if wanted whether he should deny it or not.
‘You see…that wolf seems not doing well with the dog if he is with you, right? You and I know that, the dog which is S-I-R-I-U-S was known as Playboy. Another truth was the dog also sleep with many kinds of people than the wolf and, that wolf of yours was blind enough to trust the silly love that dog gave’ stated the obvious truth from Minerva. Severus was shocked to know the foolishness but interested in the wolf’s loyal and feeling angry about the unkind love from a dog named, Sirius toward the wolf.
‘How about him and me then? Will this make us in love, truly? Will I get hurt? I’m not sure if I can handle pain well, Minerva. Not after the death of the sister that I adore so much as the sad feeling falls upon Severus's appearance, as he fears for hurtful and rejection once more.
‘Your sister, Lily, will be glad if you trust that your love and he will truly come true. And the truth will reveal that your love is more genuine than the silly love from that dog. Trust me, my friend. I believe it will come true. But this relationship you must hold it and make sure the headmaster doesn’t destroy it’ said the obvious reason and doubt appear from Minerva’s mind as Severus nodded in agreement as well.
‘Alright then, thank you Minerva for this truth and advice. But I can’t deny this nervousness I have. Truly, I also can’t say any more of what to come for our headmaster’s secret or how to understand the situation between the dark lord and Lily’s son nor give a solution’ said Severus as he answers even more seriously and grateful at the same time toward his coworker, Minerva, who smile for his thankful.
‘Hmmmm…, well lets us discuss this more with our headmaster, Albus. I think he is now doing weird tea time inside his office’ Minerva said as she and Severus are walking toward Albus’s office.
Hope this went well, Minerva’s thought was full of wariness as the sound of their both steps echoes throughout the hallway.
‘Professor?’ ask from far ahead-
