Harry Potter: From the Start, a Magic Cube to Keep Draco in Check

[Two male leads] [Flashy magician seme x proud young master uke]

Reborn into the world of Harry Potter, Tang Chen only wanted to keep his magic cube hidden and lie low to stay alive.

That was until Draco Malfoy sneered at him in that arrogant tone of his: “Mudblood tricks.”

Tang Chen smiled.

That night, in the Slytherin Common Room, he cornered the lofty young master in a secluded alcove. The magic cube in his fingertips gleamed with a deep blue light.

“I hear,” he murmured, leaning close, his breath brushing Draco’s reddening ear, “that Mr. Malfoy looks down on my little tricks?”

The cube turned, and invisible chains pinned Draco between the wall and Tang Chen.

“Well… is this trick enough to make you remember me?”

Later, in the Chamber of Secrets, Tang Chen used a mirror image to shield Draco from a fatal blow.

On the Astronomy Tower, beneath the stars, they shared their first kiss, tinged with the smell of gunpowder.

Only then did Draco realize that this damned intruder, with starlight in his wake, had already used magic-like tricks to bind him body and soul.

“Tang Chen,” Draco said on the eve of war, clutching his collar, stubborn fire burning in his gray eyes. “Your cube has a way to save the world. Does it have… a way to make me stay?”

You want to save the world. I only want to save you.
