Contrast

Trials are part of our life. But sometimes they are too cruel. 

Since I can't get rid of you. Then you should know what you subscribed to by forming a link. But first, which side do you choose?

“That's a pretty simple answer, isn't it?” Theodore said with a sly smile.

Speak!

“Obviously, I will always be by your side. Despite everything.”

Even if I'm going to kill Voldemort and Dumbledore?

"Even if you're going to kill the two leaders of the opposing sides," he smirked again. "Is that your plan?"

Yes, this is the mainstream. You need to destroy them both, otherwise the world will never change.

“But aren’t you doing this out of personal interest?” the dark-haired guy asked, turning the pen in his hands. Then he began to tickle the fox with it.

Hey, that's enough! My personal interests are of course the first reason. It just so happens that I can change the world a little.

The fox smiled innocently, wagging his fluffy tail slightly. Even in animal form, he succeeded.

“Then I would be interested in the details of your plan.”

Harry began to tell them their plans for the coming year. Of course, he hid some details, but they did not change the essence. A few minutes after the story, Theo was thoughtful.

"You're crazy, of course, but I like it," he said. A wild grin lit up his face. "How has his face not yet cracked" - a thought flashed through Harry's head.

Of course we're crazy, it's better than being normal.

Nott just chuckled and started doing his homework. When he did, it was almost night, Harry was sleeping peacefully on the table. Theo gathered all his belongings into a bag and took the fox in his arms. He immediately woke up and began to growl.“It's just me,” the guy said, calming and stroking the nogitsune's fur.

Harry immediately calmed down, but did not fall asleep. They made their way to the dormitory in silence. There they settled into bed. The Slytherin took the book again and began to read, but he was not allowed to do so. Harry, who was bored and did not want to sleep, was very talkative. Theo decided to turn on his side so that it would be easier to talk to the fox. They talked for a bit until the topic reached the Nogitsune's friends.

You know, you should treat them better if you're involved with me. I'm not saying to start talking to them, but at least not to look at them like shit not worthy of life. Like you always do when you look at someone, even Slytherins.

“That’s it, I’m connected with you, and don’t take it off,” the guy said with slight annoyance.

They saved my life! If not for Hermione, I would have died a few years ago! And you would never have a date.

Harry growled again, looking into milk chocolate eyes. Theodore's hand that lay next to the fox twitched.

“Please explain what this means,” the guy’s voice was even, but at the end he trembled.

I don't have to.

— No, but sooner or later it will be revealed. You can’t hide anything from me, you can’t, like me, - the guy explained as something ordinary.

The Nogitsune was silent. Knott waited calmly, looking at the fox. Although his appearance showed complete calm, his eyes, in which there was concern, betrayed him.

1. If you don't know, I lived with Muggle relatives of my mother. It was complete hell. Honestly, I thought I wouldn't make it to eleven. They hated magic, and therefore me. These creatures were starving me. But not only that. Vernon Dursley - the greatest human soul, could do me physical harm. It didn't happen often, not at all. But when it happened... I wondered every time how I could survive.

Harry's voice got quieter towards the end. Theo, who listened attentively to the fox, grew angrier as the story progressed. He squeezed hard on the sheet that was at hand. He would have loved to see these Dursleys in person and destroy them, but he already knew they were dead. It would be amazing if they survived. The Nogitsune that moved away from his memories saw the boy's reaction. He was a little surprised by her, and even more surprised by his further actions. He walked over to Theo and nuzzled his muzzle into his cheek.

I have already solved this problem. You can't do anything to them even if you want to. Do not worry.

Nott calmed down a bit. He stroked Harry and continued to listen.

Everything changed with the receipt of a letter from Hogwarts. Hermione, while still on the train, noticed something that others did not want or simply did not notice. When we were alone, she made me tell her why I had a bruise on the floor of my arm.At first I didn't want to tell her, but that didn't stop her. And I had to tell her everything. I even said what I didn't want to say. She took care of my bruise in the usual Muggle way. Everyone thought Ron was my first friend, but no, it was Hermione. Although she is not even a friend, but rather a sister.

Harry got closer as he spoke, until he simply lay down on the pillow the boy lay on. The Nogitsune tactlessly, almost lay down on Theo's face. The same one only snorted, but the fox was not going to remove it.

We grew closer and closer in the first year. We became so good friends that she offered to live with her in the summer. And so I spent most of the summer away from the Dursleys at her place. Until Dumbledore appeared on the threshold with his words that my family loves and is waiting for me. I did not resist then, realizing that it would only get worse. I persuaded both Hermione herself and her parents not to resist either. I had a feeling it would cost us all dearly.

"That old bastard," Theodore hissed angrily. Harry agreed with him completely. He remembered the day when fear ate him from the inside. He wanted to sob, scream, but he only smiled sweetly, collecting his things, waiting for his death. The Dursleys certainly were not happy about his appearance at the end of the summer.

Oh yes, I agree. But that's when we realized that something was wrong. Of course, we did not want to lose faith in the powerful light magician, but we quickly lost it. Hermione only needed to see me on the train, after the Dursleys. I had enough of the monster that is in HIS school, and he could not catch him. But left it to a twelve-year-old child.Then we began to pretend, playing reckless children that were led to the bait of the director.

At this, the fox laughed harshly, even though he was in the form of an animal - this did not make the laughter any less vicious.

Oh, he does not even suspect that this beast is still alive and calmly walks around the castle. Not dead, as he wanted.

- I want to know who exactly walks freely around the school?

Basilisk of course. Beautiful creature. And I'm telling the truth Shiss is just a loyal and innocent creature that misses the company. I will definitely introduce you.

"Only if it doesn't hurt," Theo said cheerfully. To be honest, he suffered to study a creature that was considered extinct for centuries.

So let's get back to history. We certainly found a way to fool the old fool, even the Dursleys came to the meeting. They couldn't wait to get rid of me. Although probablyVernon and Dudley were a little upset. After all, their poor fucking toy ran away. How sad.

Harry's tone was mockingly sad. But then abruptly changed to serious.

Summer came before the third year. Here Hermione saved my life for the second time.

It was an ordinary day. We just went to Gringotts before my birthday. Then the goblins attacked me and I learned a lot about myself.

It's not every day that you learn that at thirteen you're supposed to be a nogitsune, a kind of kitsune. "Wild Fox", a joker, an evil and vengeful spirit. The only bad werewolf kitsune of all the species. And this cannot be denied.

Then it became a blow to me. But that wasn't all, it turns out I was a human Horcrux. Fucked in the head, without the brains of Tom, that is, fucking Voldemort.

It was said with all the anger in the fox. Harry bit Theo's finger when he tried to stroke it again. Blood flowed from the finger, which the nogitsune immediately licked off, while treating the wound itself.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

"It's okay," Theo said softly.

Horcrux then immediately removed. But my legacy still remains. Then I almost laid hands on myself from hopelessness. But Hermione. She convinced me that it was not scary, that it was part of me. This amazing girl has read many books from the Restricted Section. Ha, she was always interested in the forbidden and the dark. So she read a book about varieties of kitsune. Hermione said that she would support me in everything and always help. She kept her word: she helped me get my inheritance and tried to make it less painful, she helped me with the Dursleys. Although there was not only she, but also the Luna.

So, at the very least, you should be okay with it. Although all my friends have helped me in one way or another.

“ I understand. I'll try to be more tolerant of them. Especially towards Hermione, even if she puts her wand to my throat.” The last sentence was said sarcastically.

Thank you.

It was said much more quietly - Harry was already beginning to fall asleep, this conversation was exhausting him. Theo only helped him fall asleep with his soft strokes. Therefore, the fox soon fell asleep, buried in Knott's neck. He just smiled softly and also decided that it was time for bed. He settled a little more comfortably, but did not change his position, he liked the warm breath on his neck.
