Harry felt that detention was terrible because Malfoy kept whispering in his ear and constantly provoking him. This made his efficiency plummet. By noon, he had only copied ten pieces of parchment.

The thickness was not as thick as a little finger.

At lunch, Harry complained about this to Hermione and Ron. He was a little upset and said, "I never thought he would talk so much, buzzing non-stop."

Ron suggested to him, "You can also harass him."

Harry was speechless. He didn't have so much to say to Malfoy.

Hermione thought for a while, "Maybe you can provoke him and take the opportunity to ask him if he is the heir of Slytherin."

"Don't talk nonsense, how can he say it unless it's someone close to him." Ron retorted.

Harry also felt that this idea was unreliable and would easily alert the enemy. "By the way, Hermione, what should we do about the signature?"

"Why don't you find Professor Happ?" Ron suggested.

"This is not a good idea." Hermione sighed, "He is not like Professor Lockhart, that..."

"- Like a fool." Ron continued, and was glared at by Hermione.

"But I can try tonight. I can only say I will." Hermione did not give a positive answer.

After lunch, they returned to the Ancient Runes Office and continued their copying tasks.

Harry also had to endure Malfoy's provocative eyes. He wanted to draw his wand several times to cast a curse on him. One curse was not enough. It would be better to cast three curses in an instant like Professor Happ, leaving him powerless to fight back...

In the afternoon, Felix looked at the results of the few people and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, the three of you will be able to complete the task tomorrow afternoon. And Mr. Malfoy, your progress is faster, only seven or eight pages are left."

Draco Malfoy almost cried. It was a pity that he paid a price for his momentary bad mouth. Two whole big books, completely hand-copied. It

took nearly two months, although he escaped a lot of detention to participate in Quidditch training...

Malfoy wrote furiously afterwards, and even Harry didn't care about it. Finally, he copied all the contents before dinner.

Felix couldn't help but praise him, "Very good, all right, Mr. Malfoy, your detention is over."

"Yes, Professor." Malfoy whispered.

Seeing him organize his stationery, Harry and the others were very envious. They still had a whole day of detention tomorrow.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Malfoy," Felix called him, which scared Malfoy.

Wouldn't he arrange a few more books for him?

Fortunately, Felix didn't have this idea. He waved his wand and a thick stack of parchment flew out from the corner - there were dense handwriting on it. Under his magic, the parchment was split into two and quickly bound together in mid-air.

Two book covers flew out of the suitcase, wrapping the parchment, and the golden words slowly emerged on the cover. It looked like two books.

"Mr. Malfoy, this is the result of your labor. I'll give it to you as a gift."

Two books fell in front of him, which made Malfoy stunned.

Felix said, "Although you are a pure-blood of honor and have outstanding talents, Muggles are not completely useless. I think you have already understood this." He pointed to the two handwritten books in front of Malfoy.

"Through this detention, I hope you can remember one thing. Being weak or strong is not an obstacle to survival, but arrogance is."

Malfoy held the two books, his lips opened and closed, but he said nothing.

After he left, Felix said to the other three people who were watching the show, "Okay, your task for today is over. Continue tomorrow."

Hermione whispered to Felix, "Professor, can I continue to study runes with you tonight?"

Felix was a little surprised. He thought for a while and said, "In principle, I don't object, but your homework..."

Hermione said happily, "It doesn't matter. I have finished my homework." Her expression seemed to have won the lottery.

When the three came out of the office and went to the cafeteria, Ron looked at Hermione in disbelief: "Have you really finished your homework?" "

Of course!"

"When did you write it?" Ron seriously doubted that his time was different from Hermione's. Did she have more hours every day than him?

Hermione was in a very good mood. She said with a little pride, "Since you know that you will be in detention on the weekend, you should finish your homework in advance. Isn't this common sense?"

Ron murmured, and Harry looked ashamed.

...

Malfoy returned to the Slytherin common room and put down his schoolbag.

He sat on the chair with a gloomy face, looking through the green light of the lounge and looking at the black lake outside the window. From time to time, one or two fish passed by the window.

Two followers came over, "Draco, do you want to have dinner?" "

Crabbe, Goyle..." Malfoy looked at them seriously, "Forget it, you go."

Crabbe and Goyle shrugged and left quickly.

Malfoy shrank himself in the chair, his light golden hair and slightly pale face half hidden in the shadows.

He was still thinking about Professor Happ's words.

Although he tried to refute this absurd point of view, the two months of copying punishment had already made part of the content of the book integrated into his mind.

This reminded him of the scene when his mother took him to visit a pure-blood wizard when he was a child and met his aunt by chance.

That aunt was his mother's second sister, but she was expelled from the family because she married a stupid mud... Muggle wizard.

The two had a fierce quarrel at the time, and his mother advised her to go back and admit her mistake, but was ruthlessly rejected.

He had little impression of this, and the only sentence he remembered was that his aunt shouted at them: "Apart from magic, what else is superior to you?"

He still remembers that distorted expression.

Somehow, he suddenly picked up his schoolbag, took out the two books, and stared at the covers.

One was "The Struggle History of Muggles: A Million Years Ago", and the other was "How Muggles Think".

He was very familiar with the cover, after all, he had been copying it for two months, but it was also slightly different -

Under the author, a few new words were added - Transcriber: Draco Malfoy.

Malfoy picked up the book "How Muggles Think" and opened it from the first page. Looking at the familiar font on it, he put aside all his prejudices for the first time and read it carefully.
