Chapter 1246: Thirst for Recognition
Pansy's home, nestled next to a straight and towering yellow fir forest. m.
According to Pansy, the forest was planted by one of her ancestors and has lived for more than a hundred years. Needless to say, her ancestors must have hoped that their Parkinson's family would be able to thrive and endure year after year, just like those yellow firs.
And if you look at it on the surface, Parkinson's Manor does seem to be so grand and luxurious, as if the whole family has always been as brilliant and brilliant as it was at its peak.
It's a pity that no matter how much Pansy's parents and family try to maintain this prosperous scene, the reality is always indifferent.
In order to make the surface look more glamorous, the daily use of their family is not even as good as that of a slightly better ordinary wizard family.
Pansy remembers that her brother used to secretly complain that he didn't have enough to eat. But that was because my mother was careful and had to take out a part of the daily meal cost, just to save enough for at least one afternoon tea party a week.
Yes, in fact, Pansy also understands that it is indeed a very important thing to have a good relationship with the daughters of other families. And as the mistress of the Parkinson's family, her mother also did this to not embarrass her father.
But sometimes when I walk around the house, when I see a lot of places that no one goes to seem extremely empty, I can't help but feel a sense of sadness.
Now, when Pansy arrives with Maca in front of the seemingly glamorous mansion, an urge struck her to smash it to pieces.
Seriously, the gap between the two is too big.
As we all know, Maca was Muggle-born, and an orphan who still has no home. But his name is not only known to almost everyone in the British wizarding world, but even in the global wizarding world, he has already gained great fame.
And their Parkinson's family is still clinging to such an empty shell with no appearance, completely overturning and even becoming a predictable thing.
However, after such a period of danger and opportunity, Pansy has at least understood that she has a few pounds and a few taels. If she wants to subvert the ending of the Parkinson's family on her own, I'm afraid it's impossible.
"Won't you open the door?"
Maca stood beside Pansy and gestured with her hand.
"Ahh Hearing this, Pansy nodded lightly, "I...... I'll go. ”
At this moment, she suddenly felt that she might have a little bit of a mother's feeling, that is, a fear of being seen by others.
But at the same time, she was a little lucky, she was glad that it was Maca who came to her house today.
Because of what she knows about Maca now, she knows that any cover-up may be meaningless in the eyes of the other party. Perhaps before coming here, Maca already knew the real situation of their family.
Pansy thought as she reached out and pushed the closed door open, then turned slightly, bowing at Maca as if relieved.
"Professor McLean, please come in."
"Hmm."
To be honest, Maca really has no interest in caring about the rise and fall of the Parkinson's family right now...... Maybe after meeting Pansy's mother in a while, he will use this to his advantage, but that's probably about it.
Following Pansy into the foyer, she was greeted by a variety of furnishings that had been decorated in extraordinary detail.
The precious and beautiful tapestries, the oil paintings with a sense of history, and the polished armor are all arranged in an orderly manner on both sides. The carpet is fluffy and thick, making you feel like you're stepping on a cloud, all the way to the deepest front of the main hall.
Magic lamps are neatly hung on the wall pillars, releasing a soft but bright delicate light.
"Crackle"
With a slight explosion, a house-elf suddenly appeared on the side of the carpet and bowed respectfully to Pansy.
"Dear Miss, welcome home...... Is the lady going to entertain guests? ”
"Sita, go and inform your mother, and say that an important guest is coming, and we will wait for her in the main hall."
"Positive ......"
The elf Sita was stunned when she heard this, but she quickly fell into debt again.
"Yes, miss."
Before he could finish speaking, he bent over and disappeared from the spot.
But at this moment, Maca paused slightly, and said to Pansy, who was not far in front of her:
"Miss Parkinson, there's the main hall ahead, right? You don't have to go with me. ”
"Huh?"
Pansy hurriedly turned around and said with a blank expression:
"This ...... Why? As I said, my mother's temper is not very good, and I can help you."
"No, no." Maca then shook her head, "Actually, I'm here to borrow something from your parents...... Of course, if the price is reasonable, I can buy it directly. But I don't want too many people to know what that stuff is. ”
"I ...... I'll keep it a secret, I promise! Otherwise, I can make an unbreakable oath with you!" And, and I ......"
Somehow, Pansy wished she could go in with her, as if she would get something out of it.
She can't tell this feeling, she just feels like that.
However, the kind of intuition that Pansy herself hadn't even figured out, Maca easily felt.
"Miss Parkinson, that's not the case." He said calmly, "Actually, even if it were Hermione or Harry, I would have let them stay outside." ”
With that, Maca reached out and patted her on the shoulder, and then passed her and walked deeper.
Behind her, Pansy sat in on Maca's words as she stood there and looked back at the other's back. Only then did she realize what she had been so desperately wanting.
If you have to say it, maybe it's a recognition, right?
Since she was completely exposed by Maca at the beginning, she has been forced to obey Maca to do a lot of things. From the reluctance at the beginning, to becoming active because of what he experienced and the people he met on the way, and then he seemed to have the momentum to integrate into Hermione and other friends.
In today's situation, what she hopes for most is probably to gain a real sense of identity. Because she already clearly felt how wonderful it was to have so many friends who were worthy of giving their hearts.
What's more, her best friend doesn't know what happened yet! She needs Maca to take her to the Ministry of Magic to have a look, and ...... Perhaps more in need of Maca's help.
"Bang."
The door to the main hall was closed.
