Facing the consequences of your actions is something you have to learn to do.Guilt is one of them.I know, I don't have to feel guilty, Draco seems very happy, happier lately, but I haven't managed to be the kind of alpha I want to be for Draco;the one who respects his partner until the last moment.Something advantageous is that now I am sure that he will accept me.


Harry was wearing a muzzle.At the suggestion of Seamus, who only intended to make fun of him and was very surprised to see him sitting at one of the pub tables wearing the muzzle and staring at nothing.

—Harry?Why are you wearing the muzzle?

Neville questioned distressedly.

"He won't answer you, he can't talk," Ron answered instead.

—Why did you listen to Seamus?

Ron shrugged.

— Harry considers that he is not capable of controlling his alpha instincts and that is why he is using it, he wants to avoid biting Malfoy again.

—And will you use it until the courtship ends?—Neville questioned scandalized.

Ron started to laugh.

Harry shook his head.

—Just for today, it's a temporary self-punishment.Nobody goes around wearing muzzles anymore.He would be the laughingstock of the entire wizarding world if he appeared like this in public.

Neville nodded in agreement.

— You're right, Ron, that custom was lost hundreds of years ago.

—Hey, Harry!You know she was just joking, right?—Seamus questioned worried.

Harry nodded.
