Chapter 5: Above the Banquet

A short time later, a little Shota with blonde hair walked in, and he looked at Lucius with big gray eyes. "Father, you're looking for me."

"Come here, do you remember what I told you? Draco," Lucius asked Draco.

"Of course, I will contact the Friedrich family on your behalf and try to become friends with the heirs of the Friedrich family." Draco said.

"It's not enough, it's not enough for my son. You have to understand that you either don't do it or you have to do it well, and never try to do this option. We need an ally, Draco. ”

"I'll be his best friend, father." Draco assured Lucius.

Back in the morning, Draco Malfoy asked Lucius with a curious expression.

"Father, didn't there be such a gathering every year in the past, why do you attach so much importance to today's gathering?"

"Because of this party, the patriarch of the Friedrich family, as well as his only son, Wilhelm Friedrich, came back to attend." Lucius explained to his son.

"Is it the genius of the wizarding world, Wilhelm Friedrich who invented a spell at the age of eleven?

Merlin, you never told me that he would come to this meeting today. Draco looked at his father in surprise.

"That's exactly what I'm going to say to you now, Draco, I have a task for you, the family needs to maintain a good relationship with the Friedrich family, we need their friendship.

But we are still friends with the Friedrich family, and this is a very rare opportunity for the Duke of Friedrich's only son to enter Hogwarts.

I want you to start reaching out to him from this banquet, to be his friend, and to maintain a good relationship with him after he enrolls, no matter what college he is in. Can it be done, Draco? ”

"Of course, father, I'm sure I'll be good friends with him."

"Very well, Draco, this is the first time I've asked you to do something for our family.

But you must know that as nobles, there are some things that we cannot escape. ”

"I understand, father, for the sake of the family."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Come out with me, Draco, it's almost time, we need to meet those old friends." Lucius looked at Draco with a look of relief and said.

"Yes, father."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Welcome, Minister." Lucius shook Fudge's hand with a smile on his face, then said to Draco, "Come and say hello to the minister." ”

With a smile on his face, Fudge touched Draco's head, "Looks like you, Lucius." I'll go in first, and there'll be an important guest coming in a moment, won't I? ”

"Yes, Minister." Lucius watched Fudge enter the room, then lowered his voice and said to Draco, "Cornelius Fudge is a complete idiot, fond of money, obsessed with power and status.

After the fall of Millicente, for the benefit of the pure-blood family, several of our families joined forces to put him as minister, but he still thinks that he won the election with his strength and charisma. ”

"Merlin is on top, long time no see! Parkinson's dude. Lucius abruptly interrupted his whispering to Draco and stepped forward and spoke loudly to the middle-aged man who was walking towards him.

"Long time no see, Lucius." The two hugged each other warmly, and Lucius beckoned Draco over. "Forgot how I taught you, Draco?"

There was a slight reluctance on Draco's handsome face. Still, he stepped forward, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Parkinson, and Miss Parkinson. He said to the middle-aged man, next to a girl about Draco's age.

The girl had this dark brown hair, which was combed into a bun and coiled on her head. A pair of big brown eyes looked a little eccentric, and she was dressed in a pink dress, like an elf who came out of a fairy tale.

However, Draco, who was familiar with the girl's bad character, couldn't help but pout slightly, thinking to himself that where was this elf, it was clearly a vicious devil.

"Pansy, go in first, I have something to say to Mr. Malfoy." The middle-aged man next to the girl said to the girl.

"Yes, father."

"Draco, you go in with Pansy, go to the castle and have a good stroll, don't neglect the guests, you understand?" Lucius said to Draco.

"All right, Father." Draco looked at his father with a complaining look before reluctantly leading Pansy inside.

"So you've decided, Lucius." After watching the two leave with a smile on his face, Mr. Parkinson turned to Lucius and said.

"Not yet, I don't know what kind of attitude their family will have, let's get in touch first. Also, see what kind of person that legendary genius really is. ”

"I can't believe there is such a genius in the world before I entered school, I really can't believe that there is such a genius in the world, look at our family Pansy, at the same age, she can only release a few insignificant spells." Mr. Parkinson continued.

"We'll find out soon enough, right? I think they're already here. Lucius suddenly felt a slight fluctuation in the manor's magical system.

Then, a carriage suddenly appeared at the gate of the manor, strangely enough, there was no driver or horse to drive it.

But the carriage moved forward slowly, as if a pair of invisible coachmen were controlling its movement.

"Alchemical products? It is worthy of an old legendary family. Mr. Parkinson said with admiration.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the two men. The door opened from the inside, and the Duke stepped out of the carriage with William.

Lucius immediately greeted him, "Merlin is on board, welcome to the Humble House, Duke Friedrich."

The Duke shook hands with Lucius and Mr. Parkinson, and pointed to William. "Mr. Malfoy, and Mr. Parkinson, thank you both for your welcome, this is my son William."

William immediately stepped forward and smiled deservedly. Shake hands with both of you.

"Merlin, you're so tall, it's hard to imagine you're only eleven years old." Mr. Parkinson sighed on the sidelines.

"William, he's been fond of eating Hesse since he was a child, so he's grown up faster." The Duke looked at William and smiled smugly. "Let's hurry inside, it's almost crowded, isn't it, I think this party can begin."

"Of course, both of you, please."

After a brief greeting, Lucius led the two to the banquet hall.
