Harry Potter’s Natural Villain

Chapter 5 Letters and Shopping

Learning magic, training two younger brothers with arrears in IQ, and occasionally relying on stories to gain Pansy's favor, and occasionally traveling with his parents, Malfoy's life is quite fulfilling.

But those days were shattered with a letter from the owl.

I think Durmstrang is more suitable for him. After seeing the letter, Lucius tried his last effort. After all, there were few restrictions on black magic research, 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? It's still a small island, how inconvenient!. Narcissa still insisted on her opinion and wanted to send Malfoy to Hogwarts, which was closer to home. You are also an academy director here. Maybe you can take care of it.

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

I still decided to go to Hogwarts. Malfoy said his decision calmly.

What are you kidding me, how can I say that I lose my favor after brushing on Little Loli for so long?

After a few years of getting along with something similar to childhood sweethearts, the current Pansy, apart from still maintaining a little arrogance in words, has established a very deep friendship with Mal FJ.

What's more, I might be able to make a cameo role at Hogwarts. If I really go to the island, I can only be smeared. The only person I know is Victor, who has participated in the Three Powers Cup. , makes no sense at all.

Did you hear that, our precious son is also reluctant to bear us. Narcissa kissed Malfoy's forehead fiercely again.

That's it. Lucius shrugged helplessly, facing the unanimous opinion of mother and son, even Lucius, the head of the family, could only compromise.

Oh! By the way, I think you need to go to Diagon Alley,

I can't wait to see our little Draco don his new wizard robes. Narcissa said expectantly. By the way, you definitely need a wand. Be sure to let Ollivander pick the one that suits you best.

Got it. Speaking of the wand, Malfoy had no desire for it, as long as it could be used. If you really want to pursue it, you have to be the existence of the old magic wand. Of course, Malfoy didn't like it, after all, whoever took it was basically wearing a doom halo by default. Not to lose in a head-to-head duel? Well, let's assassinate the head office.

Your own strength is the only foundation. If you give Voldemort and Dumbledore the most common wand, will their strength be greatly reduced? More skilled wizards can even master the skill of casting spells without a staff or even silently. Therefore, the wand is only an auxiliary, it can be more powerful and icing on the cake, but it cannot make the salted fish turn around. Malfoy saw it very clearly.

It's not too late, I think we can go earlier, there will definitely be a lot of people in a few days, I think we all don't like the crowd. Lucius said to Malfoy.

I think this is a good idea. Malfoy was actually a little impatient in his heart. Although he had no desire for a wand, he was full of curiosity about other places in Diagon Alley, such as the Wall Street of the wizarding world - Gringotts ? Or the Weasley Joke Shop? Maybe it's not open yet.

Then Lucius and Malfoy came to the fireplace in the living room.

Be careful not to misrepresent your destination, Lucius reminded.

Don't worry, father. Malfoy was very clear about the consequences of making a mistake, and since it was the first time to use the Floo network, he was naturally motivated.

Diagonal Alley! Malfoy and Lucius walked into the fireplace holding hands, calling out the name of the destination, before throwing a handful of Floo powder into it - a shimmering powder used for send.

The green flame suddenly rose, flashing a strange light.

Apparently, the Floo network is working.

A tearing sensation came over Malfoy, and he felt as if he was being sucked into a huge vortex, making him feel dizzy, turning, turning. But it didn't take long for Malfoy to feel that he was standing on the cold and flat ground again.

I think we can find a place to rest first. It's normal that teleporting with Floo powder won't feel good for the first time. So Lucius decided to take Malfoy somewhere else to relax for a while.

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

I think we can go to Florin's cold drink shop to try their new licorice ice cream. Although Lucius is usually a little gloomy, but now like many ordinary fathers, he hopes his children can show a happy smile.

It has to be said that no matter which world you are in, the healing power of sweets is very powerful. Malfoy felt much better after eating an entire ice cream.

I think ice cream will bring us luck. Lucius said a rare wit. Come on, Malfoy, go check out Ollivander's wand shop, I'm sure you'll get a wand you'll be happy with.

The two walked for a while, and a small and run-down shop appeared before the Malfoys. A wand stood alone on the faded purple cushions in the window. The gold sign on the front door of the shop had peeled off and read: Olivander, a well-made wand since 382 BC.

As soon as they entered the store, the Malfoys heard a tinkling sound, and there was nothing but a bench and an old man in the store.

Good afternoon. A soft voice came, and it was obvious that the owner of the voice was the owner of this shop - Garrick Ollivander, one of the three major wand makers in Europe.

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

Sure enough, no matter what aspect is the best, people are not ordinary. Malfoy even felt a similar breath in him.

Oh, it's Mr. Lucius. It seems like the last meeting happened yesterday.

Yes, yes, you remember every wand you sold, you tell everyone that, although I know you do, but I don't need the extra. Lucius was very polite to him. cold.

What a handsome little fellow, what is a Muggle word for? By the way! Gene. This kid must have inherited a lot of your genes. Ollivander's eyes turned to Malfoy. As a businessman, it is easy to infer the relationship between the two. what is his name?

Draco Malfoy, Malfoy replied.

What a nice name.

Ollivander looked at Malfoy.

Come here. Ollivander brought Malfoy to the counter.

Which hand would you want to use the wand with?

I think the right hand is more convenient. Most people in the world are still right-handed.

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

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

Mr. Ollivander, I think this one is pretty good, Malfoy said, pointing to a wand.

Um... Ollivander muttered. I think it's better for you to listen to the advice of professionals. After all, a magic wand may be with you for the rest of your life.

I guess I still want to take my son's advice first.

Okay. Ollivander shrugged helplessly and turned to get the wand that Malfoy had designated.

Hawthorn wood, unicorn hair, exactly ten inches. You try it first. Ollivander's face is not very good, and anyone who is questioned in his field of expertise should not feel very good.

Fluorescent Flash! Malfoy, who took the wand, quickly used the spell he was most familiar with so far.

A dazzling light suddenly emanated from the end of the wand, and the dazzling light made Lucius and Ollivander almost unable to open their eyes.

Looks like I'm going to lose my job. Ollivander laughed at himself, obviously this wand was a perfect match for Malfoy.

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

How much. Lucius was ready to pay.

Twelve gold Galleons. Ollivander's voice was a little weak. It seems to have suffered a small blow.

I think your child will be a great wizard. Ollivander sent the Malfoys out the door, bowed, and said a heartfelt sigh rather than a compliment.

Thank you for your blessing. Lucius was also in a good mood, although this good mood would soon be broken.

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

Dear son, I hope you can remember the glory of our bloodline, and don't tarnish our honor like everyone else. Lucius suddenly said this to Malfoy.

Okay, father, the glory of the Malfoy family will be immortal. Malfoy was a little puzzled, why Lucius suddenly said such a word to himself without thinking. But soon Malfoy understood.

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

I think I've got it. Malfoy's heart sank as he looked at the flaming red hair on the two of them.

It's unbelievable, Arthur, you are actually here, I thought no one in the Weasleys would use new things, by the way, one wand per person, it can't be old, I think about it Not a week. Lucius mocked them viciously.

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

I wonder when the people of the Malfoy family became so nosy. Arthur responded coldly in Lucius' mouth.

There is only one family in the wizarding world with such physical traits - the Weasleys. The identities of the two are of course ready to be revealed - Arthur Weasley and Ron Weasley.

Ron blushed at this time, obviously caring about what Lucius said.

I just hope that some people don't humiliate our families and give some kind reminders. Lucius explained, of course, it was not an explanation, but a more serious mockery.

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

The first meeting, it doesn't look like it's going well, Malfoy thought.

As pure-blood families in the wizarding world, the Malfoy and Weasley families should be considered two extremes. One extreme advocates pure-blood theory, hoping to prove its superiority, and expressing contempt for Muggles. The other is very interested in Muggles and is very friendly, and also specially wrote the Muggle Protection Act to ensure the interests of Muggles. The former's approach to the latter is naturally very difficult to understand, thinking that they have tarnished the glory of pure blood, and the latter is also unacceptable to the former's advocacy of blood, thinking that they are a group of out-and-out madmen.

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

In the public, Lucius is not too ostentatious, and can only choose another weakness of the Weasley family to attack, that is the economic situation. Perhaps Arthur was too upright. As the head of the Ministry of Magic's Anti-Muggle Supplies Department, theoretically he should be able to make a lot of money, but the Weasleys were still living a tight life. It was evident from the fact that most of the items Ron used were used by his brother.

Lucius, on the other hand, used the influence of his family to make a fortune. From the various furnishings in the manor, we could know the amazing wealth of the Malfoy family. A glimpse of the leopard in the tube can be seen.

As a vested interest, who can immediately give up everything in front of him? As a person who has experienced a good education in the 21st century, this kind of discriminatory view should have been swept into history long ago. of garbage heaps. But who can give up the good life in front of them? Malfoy is not a saint, and naturally has his own selfishness.

To make an inappropriate analogy, if you have transmigrated into a slave owner of black slaves, can you still immediately imitate Lincoln to emancipate black slaves?

You can only try to change it slowly. In fact, Malfoy himself knew better that there were many people who had intermarryed with Muggles in the family tree of the Malfoy family. Even today the family's wealth largely benefits from this. Assuming that it is exposed one day, it may also be a devastating blow to his family, and changing the outdated concept may also help himself.

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

Father, I think I remember it.

That's good. Lucius couldn't help showing a smile on his pale face.

I think we have to go to Gringotts now. Lucius said after a moment.

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

Dear boy, don't you want to have a broom of your own? That's not enough money.

Uh, I think you must have not read that letter carefully, Father.

Lucius laughed: I think I can give my son a little privilege in this regard as the school director.

That's awesome. From this, Malfoy couldn't help but feel a little excited, flying - one of the ultimate dreams of mankind.

But you have to promise me one condition.

what?

Don't tell your mother, you know, your mother hates you to do this kind of dangerous thing to her. Lucius showed a knowing smile.

Of course, Father. Malfoy nodded, looking impatient. But he thought to himself: There is no reason why I was spoiled with 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 personal virtue, but for his own relatives, he is blameless.

It was almost dusk, Lucius and Malfoy returned with a full reward and disappeared at the entrance of Diagon Alley, ending today's trip.
