Science students at Hogwarts

A week before the start of school, Professor Snape finally let Elios and Draco go.

Since the photometer launched this year added multiple functions such as ultraviolet light to visible light, Snape needed a large amount of potions to test the accuracy of the instrument.

In the first half of the year, there were a large number of potions made by Hogwarts students as samples. During the summer vacation, Snape focused on the two brothers.

However, no matter how outstanding the two brothers are, their preparation cannot be compared to that of a school!The professor looked at them every day and looked like they hated iron.

He assigned a large number of tasks and told George to watch over them. Although George was already an assistant in Potions, he was usually busy with Black's business during the summer vacation and could not take care of them.

So Narcissa took over the task.

In view of the lingering fear about what happened in the past, Narcissa often secretly went to the candy house to look after them, and in the process she inevitably came into contact with Muggles.

Her attitude gradually changed. Even though she was still tired of Muggles, she had to admit that Muggles also had certain merits.

In order to avoid an accident this time, she simply moved to the candy house to guide the children in preparing potions. In the process, Elios discovered that she had amazing attainments in potions.

Narcissa rarely showed a hint of coquettishness, and she recalled with nostalgia, "Are you surprised? I was the first to join the Slug Club in that class, and your uncle was half a year behind me."

Draco pestered her to tell some stories from the past, and Elios would exclaim from time to time, which made Narcissa fully satisfied.

It was fun there, but when Lucius came back and found that his wife and children were not at home, it was another story.

Thanks to Narcissa's careful care, they were just a little tired but in excellent spirits.

Now that the devil training is over, Elios decided to indulge himself.He was not the one who wronged himself. As early as the first day he moved into the candy house, he installed the best Muggle appliances at that time.

On the eve of school, he spent a lot of time playing Nintendo's first-generation game console, Gameboy.

Draco was even busier. He wanted to play the game console with his brother, but he couldn't let go of playing Tom and Jerry every day. He was caught in a sweet and painful choice.

Time flew by, and finally it was the night before school started.

Draco knew that he would leave his parents and go to Hogwarts tomorrow, and he felt depressed all night.Before going to bed, he cheered up and gave Dobby the gifts they bought in Diagon Alley, telling him to wait until his parents came back from the station tomorrow before giving them to them.

Elios was also a little depressed by this sad atmosphere. He knew that the intersection of fate was coming, and he could only protect his family by doing his best.

He came to the manor, looked at the stars in the sky, and spotted Kreacher with a casual glance.

"Master, it's time for you to go to bed," the elf said sharply.

Elios looked at him and suddenly realized that he had not arranged for Kreacher.

Ever since Narcissa knew that Regulus's death was related to him, Kreacher's situation has become more and more difficult. Elios asked him to stay in the candy house as much as possible and not return to Malfoy Manor. What will he do now that he is gone?

Elios had a bold idea to open a store in the United States.

One of the Black family's stores in the United States, one of its clothing stores, was in very bad shape and couldn't make any money anyway. It was better to hire a few more elves to send Kreacher to retire.

Elios first affirmed his loyalty to the family, which moved the elf to tears, and then proposed a plan for him to go to the United States, explaining that this was the most important plan of the family, and the elf agreed without hesitation.

Elios immediately wrote to George's wife Louisa to do this.

Finally September 9st came.

The family arrived at King's Cross station.

Narcissa hugged the two children tightly, lowered her head and said nothing.

Lucius's face was also full of reluctance. He patted Narcissa gently to signal her to let go of the children, and told them: "Contact your family more often, and take good care of yourself when you get to school."

"Draco, you are the elder brother. Take care of your younger brother." After receiving his affirmative reply, he turned to look at Elios.

"Elrios, although you are the younger brother, you have always been steady and always helped your brother." After seeing him nod, Lucius forced a smile.

"Okay, since you are going to Hogwarts to study, be happy. You are also grown children. By the way, there is a surprise waiting for you when you get to school. Now get in the car!"

Draco pulled Elios into the carriage. They waved to the Malfoys and watched them reluctantly leave.

Draco was still unhappy, and he said softly: "I saw my mother crying, and I don't want to go to Hogwarts."

Elios was still a little sad, but he was amused by his childish words.

"Auntie doesn't want to see you like this. She wants us to become great wizards. Draco, we can always contact our family. Have you forgotten that?" Elios took out the Coke and tapped the bottle with his wand. On the wall, a layer of frost quickly formed on the coke.

Draco was attracted by his movements and his eyes widened slightly, "When did you learn the silent spell?"

"Recently, I discovered that the silent spell can reduce some of the power and make the coke temperature just right, but I have only mastered this one. I can teach you some tricks." Elios handed the iced coke to Draco.

He nodded excitedly and looked at Elios expectantly.Soon he hesitated and looked at the Coke handed to him hesitantly.

Elios understood his thoughts and said, "Relax, this is the private room reserved by my uncle. He has already greeted the pure-blood family."

Draco then took the Coke and listened carefully to Elios' explanation.

While they were studying the silent spell seriously, the sliding door of the box opened, and a boy with curly hair stood at the door. He asked a little apologetically: "Is there anyone here? Everywhere else..."

His eyes were attracted by the Coke in Draco's hand, and he immediately became excited, "Are you ordinary people too? I mean, no one in our family knows magic. I was extremely surprised when I received the notification... …”

Elios felt Draco stiffen suddenly. He was obviously panicked and silently put the Coke on the table.

Elios gave a reassuring smile and said, "No, we have never had a Muggle in our house. Come in first, it's too noisy outside."

The boy nodded and walked in, followed by a thin child.

"Oh, by the way, my name is Justin Finch-Fletchley." He seemed to realize his rudeness, hurriedly introduced himself, and then lightly touched his companion.

"My name is Kevin Entwistle."

"I am Draco Malfoy, and this is my brother Elios Black. We are both from the Holy 28 Clan." Elios watched Draco put on the aristocratic look of Lucius, Trying to hold back his laughter.

Of course, Justin didn't know what the Holy 28 were. He caught one word keenly, "Malfoy? I know you. The notice said that the Malfoy family provides grants and scholarships for Muggle-born students!"

Kevin, who had been silent all this time, raised his head and looked at Draco, and said sincerely and solemnly: "Thank you, I will pay back the money as soon as possible."

Draco had never faced this situation before, and he could only try to maintain the aristocratic air.

"My father often said that he cares more about the students than the interests of the school. The scholarship does not need to be repaid. It is an honor for our family to be able to give a student a small amount of help."

Elios almost laughed out loud. He didn't expect Draco to be like this in front of outsiders. He decided to tell Narcissa about this matter tonight.

He calmed down and tried to keep his tone calm, "Mr. Entwistle, I think the Malfoy family would rather you get the scholarship. This is the best reward, right?"

Kevin's blue eyes showed determination. He firmly promised that he would not let down the good intentions of the Malfoy family, and said shyly: "You can call me Kevin."

"Just call me Justin." Justin saw that the atmosphere had calmed down and joined the conversation, "Are all wizard families so unique in their names? Both Draco and Elios are very rare names."

"We are both named after constellations. Elios is the brightest star in Ursa Major and Draco is Draco."

"I see, are all wizard families so well-informed? Have you all studied magic since childhood?" Justin's tone was full of worry, "I have never learned anything, so I must be the worst student in the class."

"Don't worry, many wizard-born children don't know magic before going to Hogwarts, not to mention there are also many Muggle-born young wizards who are also very good." Elios took a sip of Coke.

"What's more, the teachers at Hogwarts are all excellent and the collection of books is countless. You will receive the best education there." Draco nodded aside, confirming his statement.

"I read the textbooks during the vacation, and I have to say that those books are quite interesting and very professional, especially potions..." Justin immediately praised.

Of course, this is the first time Hogwarts has used a textbook written by a professor.

Elios thought that the professor had specially written the textbook in order to save those "empty-brained" idiots from occupying his precious time in studying potions. He wanted to stuff every factor that led to failure into their heads. He was really well-intentioned. !

"Professor Snape is an outstanding Potions Master, but he is quite strict. Don't make him angry."

Elios said as he handed them two cans of ice-cold Coke.

Kevin looked at him in shock, "How do you do this? Can you teach me?"

"Of course, they are just some tips in "Practical Household Spells", but in exchange..."

Elios deliberately prolonged his voice, making the two of them nervous, "I hope you can keep our secret drinking of Coke a secret. Auntie doesn't like us drinking carbonated drinks."

Of course, Justin and Kevin thought he was helping them quietly, and they all expressed their opinions.Draco glanced at him and said nothing.

Around 12:30, a lady with a nice smile and dimples opened the box door and asked them if they needed anything.

Elios also asked for some, and took out a silver coin from the money the saleswoman had changed and handed it to her.

"This is a compliment to Hufflepuff students for their hard work and loyalty, not to mention that this beautiful lady is also very enthusiastic." Elios looked at her with respect.

"My dear, you are so lovable." It was obvious that the compliment to Hufflepuff was very helpful to the lady. She almost smiled from ear to ear. "But Hogwarts does not allow students to accept tips from students."

Draco invited Justin and the others to share these snacks, saying that they could just treat them when they went to the Muggle world.

He picked a licorice wand at random and stared carefully at the younger brother who was chatting happily with the saleswoman, as if he had never known him before.

After the saleswoman left, Draco said he and Elios wanted to go for a walk.

The two walked to the last box, where the latest photometer and some instruments were placed, and George was also there.

"Draco, now is not the time to talk about this. We will talk about it tomorrow night." Elios spoke first, and he could only nod in agreement.

"Children, are you hungry? Kreacher will prepare some food for you. I didn't expect it to take so long. Speaking of which, this is my first time doing the Hogwarts Express!" George saw that the atmosphere was a little dull and quickly changed the subject. .

"Yes, the Ministry of Magic has chosen Muggle transportation. Why not just let the plane pick us up? Just like Uncle Martin invited us to the United States last time." Draco cooperated to change the topic, and the atmosphere returned to normal.

After briefly chatting with George, the two returned to the box.

Not long after, the box door was pushed open again.

This time, a little boy with a round face full of tears and a little girl with thick brown hair carefully combed came in.

The two completely ruined the sleepy atmosphere in the box.Elios was awakened by a shock, and so were several others. Draco simply closed his eyes again.

Elios vaguely felt that this seemed to be the plot of the protagonist. When he thought about it carefully, he found that he couldn't remember this part at all, so he had to give up.

However, Hermione looks completely different from Emma, ​​and can only be called delicate and cute.

"Did any of you see a toad? Neville lost a toad."

"I'm sorry, my name is Neville Longbottom, if you see..." He cried harder.

Elios sighed and motioned for Draco to say hello to this child who was also from the Holy 28 clan.

"Mr. Longbottom, please wait here for a moment." Elios asked Justin to seek help from the saleswoman.

While waiting, Elios casually turned bubble gum into Hogwarts school badges and gave them to them, and then he regretted it.

It aroused great interest in the little witch. She kept talking about the knowledge in the transfiguration textbook, making everyone who was already very sleepy feel even more tired.

Fortunately, Justin came back with Toad.

"Oh, thank you, thank you so much." Neville smiled through tears and took the toad.

Hermione looked at his toad with interest, "I heard that Hogwarts only allows three kinds of pets..."

Before she started her tirade, Draco finally couldn't help it anymore, "Miss Granger, I admire your willingness to help others. In my opinion, you are an excellent little witch, but you are about to arrive at the station. We have to change quickly and I’ll meet you at school!”

The little witch then realized something was wrong, blushed, and stammered an apology to them.
