Chapter 5 Letters and Shopping

Learning magic, training two younger brothers with low IQs, occasionally relying on stories to brush up Pansy's favor, and occasionally traveling with his parents around the world, Malfoy's life is quite fulfilling. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But such days were broken with a letter brought by an owl.

"I think Durmstrang is a better fit for him. After seeing the letter, Lucius tried to make a final effort. After all, there were few restrictions on the study of the dark arts, and there was no need to live with non-pure-blood students, and Lucius thought that Malfoy should have been better educated there.

"You are willing to let our precious son go so far away, it is still a small island, how inconvenient it must be!" Narcissa insisted on sending Malfoy to Hogwarts, closer to home. "You're also a member of the academy here, so maybe you can take care of it. ”

"You know I'm not on the right path with that old white-bearded man. Lucius's face was a little ugly.

"I decided to go to Hogwarts anyway. Malfoy calmly stated his decision.

What are you kidding, how can you say that you can lose it if you have brushed the favor of little Lori for so long?

After a few years of getting along with a somewhat similar childhood sweetheart, Pansy now has established a very deep friendship with Mal FJ in addition to still maintaining a little bit of arrogance verbally.

What's more, he himself may be able to make a cameo appearance at Hogwarts, but if he really goes to the island, he can only be blinded, and the only thing he knows is Wickdor who has participated in the Triwizard Cup, which makes no sense at all.

"Did you hear that, our precious son couldn't bear us. With that, Narcissa kissed Malfoy on the forehead again.

"So be it. Lucius shrugged helplessly, facing the unanimous opinion of mother and son, even Lucius, as the head of the family, could only compromise.

"Oh, by the way, I think you need to make a trip to Diagon Alley, I can't wait to see little Draco in our new wizarding robes. Narcissa said expectantly. "By the way, you'll definitely need a wand, so be sure to ask Ollivander to pick the one that's best for you. ”

"Got it. "When it comes to wands, Malfoy doesn't have much craving for them, as long as he can use them. If you really want to pursue it, it has to be an anti-heaven existence like the Elder Wand. Of course, Malfoy is not interested in it, after all, whoever takes it is basically wearing a doom aura by default. Won't you lose a head-to-head duel? Well, assassination will always do.

Your own strength is the only fundamental. If you give Voldemort and Dumbledore the most ordinary wands, will they be diminished? More skilled wizards can even master the art of casting spells without a wand or even in silence. Therefore, the wand is only an auxiliary, which can be like a tiger with wings and icing on the cake, but it cannot make the salted fish turn over just by relying on this. Malfoy saw this very well.

"Without further ado, I think we can go early, there will be a lot of people in a few days, I think we will all not like the feeling of crowding. Lucius said to Malfoy.

"I think it's a good idea. Malfoy was actually a little impatient, and although he didn't have much craving for wands, he was curious about other places in Diagon Alley, such as the Wall Street of the wizarding world, Gringotts, or the Weasley Joke Shop, which may not have opened yet.

Lucius and Malfoy then went to the fireplace in the living room.

"Be careful not to say the wrong destination. Lucius reminded.

"Don't worry, father. Malfoy was well aware of the consequences of making a mistake, and it was the first time he had used Floo.com, so he naturally had a good spirit.

"Diagon Alley!" Malfoy and Lucius walked into the fireplace holding hands, calling out the name of their destination and sprinkling a handful of Floo powder, a glittering powder, into it for teleportation.

The green flames burst forth, flickering with an eerie light.

Clearly, Floo is working.

A tearing sensation came over Malfoy, and he felt as if he had been sucked into a great whirlpool, making him feel a wave of dizziness, constantly turning, turning. It didn't take long, though, for Malfoy to feel himself standing on the cold ground again.

"I think we can find a place to rest first. "It's normal that the first time you use Floo Powder for teleportation, it's not going to feel good. So Lucius decided to take Malfoy somewhere else to relax for a while.

"I think so. Malfoy gasped slightly, still trying to recover his physical condition.

"I thought we could go to Florin Cold Drink Shop and try their new licorice ice cream. Although Lucius is usually a little gloomy, he is now like many ordinary fathers, hoping that his children will smile happily.

I have to say that no matter what world you are in, the healing power of sweets is very strong. After eating a whole ice cream, Malfoy felt better.

"I think ice cream will bring us good luck. Lucius had a rare quip. "Come on, Malfoy, go to Ollivanders' wand shop, and I'm sure you'll get a wand. ”

The two walked for a while, and a small, dilapidated shop appeared before the Malfoys and his sons, with a wand lying on the faded purple cushion in the window, and a gold sign on the front door that read: "Ollivanders, a wand made since 382 B.C."

As soon as they entered the shop, Malfoy and his son heard a clanging sound, and there was nothing but a bench and an old man.

"Good afternoon. A soft voice came, and it was evident that the owner of the voice was the owner of the shop, Garrick Ollivander, one of the three great wandmakers in Europe.

Ollivander's appearance is very ordinary, but those silver-white eyes always make people feel the wisdom of reading the vicissitudes of life, like two shining moons.

"Sure enough, no matter what aspect of the extreme, people are not ordinary. Malfoy even felt a breath of the same kind in him.

"Oh, it's Mr. Lucius, and the last time we met seemed like it happened yesterday. ”

"Yes, yes, you remember every wand you sell, you say that to everyone, and although I know you do, I don't need anything else. Lucius was not impressed by his politeness, though.

"What a handsome little fellow, Muggle has a word for what? yes! genes. Presumably, this child must have inherited a lot of your genes. Ollivanders' eyes turned to Malfoy. As a businessman, it is easy to deduce the relationship between the two. "What's his name?"

"Draco Malfoy," Malfoy replied.

"What a good name. ”

Ollivander looked at Malfoy.

"Come over here. Ollivander led Malfoy to the counter.

"Which hand would you want to use your wand?"

"I guess it's more convenient to have a right hand. "Most people in the world are still right-handed.

At the same time, a tape measure with silver scales began to measure Malfoy automatically.

Ollivander was about to go back and get a wand for Malfoy to try. Malfoy spoke suddenly.

"Mr. Ollivanders, I think this one is very good. Malfoy said, pointing to a wand.

"Hmm," Ollivander muttered. "I think it's better to listen to the advice of a professional, after all, it's no surprise that a wand may stay with you for the rest of your life. ”

"I guess I still want to listen to my son's advice first. ”

"Okay. Ollivander shrugged helplessly, and turned to get the Malfoy's designated wand.

"Hawthorn wood, unicorn hair, exactly ten inches. You try it first. "Ollivanders' face is not very good, and anyone who is questioned in the field he is good at should not be in a good mood.

"Fluorescent flicker!" Malfoy quickly took his wand and used the spell he knew best.

A blinding light suddenly erupted from the end of the wand, a dazzling light that almost kept Lucius and Ollivander open.

"Looks like I'm going to lose my job. Ollivander smiled self-deprecatingly, it was clear that the wand was a perfect match for Malfoy.

"I just don't want to waste my time. Malfoy thought to himself.

"How much. "Lucius is ready to pay the bill.

"Twelve golden Galleons. Ollivanders' voice was a little weak. It seems to have taken a big hit.

"I think your child will be an amazing wizard. Ollivander sent Malfoy and his son out the door, bowed, and uttered a heartfelt emotion rather than a compliment.

"I promise you. Lucius was also in a good mood, although it was about to be broken soon.

Walking out of the Ollivanders wand shop, Diagon Alley was full of people, and many parents had already brought their children to buy school supplies. At this time, Lucius saw a person who could be called the person he hated the most.

"My dear son, I hope you will remember the glory that belongs to our bloodline, and not tarnish our honor as no one else does. Lucius suddenly said this to Malfoy.

"Yes, father, the glory of the Malfoy family will be immortal. Malfoy wondered why Lucius had suddenly said such a thing to himself. But soon Malfoy understood.

Lucius led Malfoy straight to a father and son who were picking up merchandise.

"I think I've got it. Looking at the flaming red hair on the heads of the two men, Malfoy was relieved.

"It's unbelievable, Arthur, you're here, I thought the Weasleys wouldn't use anything new, by the way, wands for each person, they can't be old, I didn't think about it. Lucius taunted them viciously.

Unfortunately, Lucius was still wrong, and Ron was still using Charlie's old wand.

"I wonder when the Malfoys became so nosy. Arthur in Lucius's mouth replied coldly.

There is only one family in the wizarding world that has such physical traits - the Weasleys. Of course, the identities of the two are also revealed - Arthur Weasley and Ron Weasley.

At this time, Ron's face flushed, obviously very concerned about Lucius's words.

"I just hope that some people don't embarrass us and give us some kind reminders. Lucius explained, not so much an explanation as an intensified mockery.

"Let's go. Arthur dragged Ron away quickly, obviously not wanting to argue with Lucius here.

"When we first met, it didn't seem to be going well. Malfoy thought.

The Malfoy and Weasley families, both pure-bloods in the wizarding world, should have gone to two extremes, one extreme advocated pure-blood, hoping to prove their superiority, and expressed contempt for Muggles. The other was very interested in Muggles and friendly, and wrote the Muggle Protection Act to ensure the interests of Muggles. The former is naturally very incomprehensible to the latter, believing that they have tarnished the glory of pure-blood, and the latter is also difficult to accept the former's advocacy of bloodlines, believing that they are a bunch of out-and-out madmen.

The difference in philosophy is enough to make their relationship tense. If you look at the Green Religion in reality, you can understand that an orthodox title is enough to start a war.

In front of the public, Lucius is not too ostentatious, so he can only choose another weakness of the Weasley family to attack, that is, the economic situation. Perhaps Arthur was too upright, and as the head of the Department for the Prohibition of Muggle Supplies at the Ministry of Magic, he should theoretically be able to make a lot of money, but the Weasleys were still living a tight life. Suffice it to see from the fact that most of the items Ron used were used by his brother.

Lucius, on the other hand, used his family's influence to make a lot of money, and from the various furnishings in the manor, you can know the amazing wealth of the Malfoy family today. A leopard can be seen in the tube.

"As a vested interest, who can immediately give up everything in front of him? As a well-educated person of the 21st century, this discriminatory view should have actually been swept into the dustbin of history long ago. But who can give up the affluent life in front of him? Malfoy is not a saint, and naturally has his own selfish intentions.

To use an inappropriate analogy, if you have crossed over to become a black slave owner, can you still immediately learn from Lincoln and emancipate the black slaves?

"I can only try to change it slowly. "In fact, Malfoy himself knows better that there are many Muggle marriages in the Malfoy family's genealogy. Even today, much of the family's wealth is due to this. If it is exposed one day, it may also be a devastating blow to his family, and changing his outdated ideas may be regarded as helping himself.

"Remember that family's red hair color, that's a disgrace among us pure-blood wizards. Seeing that Arthur was "defeated", Lucius couldn't help but be complacent, and continued to indoctrinate Malfoy with his own ideas.

"Father, I think I remember. ”

"That's good. Lucius's pale face couldn't help but smile slightly.

"I think we need to go to Gringotts now. Lucius thought for a moment and said.

"Father, I think the money we brought this time should be enough to buy wizard robes and school books. Malfoy reminded.

"My dear child, don't you want to have a broomstick of your own? ”

"Well, I suppose you didn't read that letter carefully, Father. ”

Lucius laughed, "I guess as a school director I can give my son some small privileges in this regard." ”

"That's pretty good. At this point, Malfoy couldn't help but feel a little excited, flying, one of humanity's ultimate dreams.

"But you have to promise me one condition. ”

"What?"

"Don't tell your mother, you know, your mother hates you the most for doing something that she thinks is dangerous. Lucius smiled knowingly.

"Of course, Father. Malfoy nodded, looking impatient. But I thought to myself: "It's really not for nothing that I was spoiled into such a character in the original book." ”

"Then let's go. Lucius touched Malfoy's head.

I have to say that maybe Lucius has a loss of personal morality, but for his relatives, he is blameless.

Towards dusk, Lucius and Malfoy returned with a full load and disappeared at the entrance to Diagon Alley, ending the day's trip.
