HP's Foreign Land

Chapter 124 Two pairs of father and son

In general, Heimdall lived comfortably in Malfoy Manor under the hospitality of his master, although it was the house-elf who actually entertained him.Before Draco came home, Heimdall would either pass the time in the library of the manor, or play with toffee in the small garden, and even helped the house elves take care of the flowers and plants, which made the elves panic and scream Call.After that, he gave up the idea of ​​working altogether, because servile and strong house-elves would never hesitate to self-mutilate and apologize.

The idle life made Heimdall miss the Muggle way of life, such as TV, movies, computers...

He met with the hostess every day, and meeting at the dinner table was inevitable, because they seldom talked because of lack of topics.Heimdall couldn't think of anything to say to her, let alone Ivy Malfoy.This is also one of the reasons why he hides in his room and "works hard" all day long, avoiding small talk outside the meal time.

But in a few conversations, Heimdall discovered that she was a very intelligent lady.She had mentioned something about the Black family to him in a vague way, but he had distracted her.She never mentioned it after that.

Heimdall is already a member of the Strulusson family. Although it is a pity, Narcissa deeply understands that this is the best thing.Sirius has been expelled from the family, and if he has an heir, life will definitely not be easy.Rather than recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, and then bear the notoriety of the son of the family traitor, and suffer the cold eyes of the clan, it is better to be a decent young master in the Struluson family.Besides, Rigg's current background would be more beneficial to the Malfoy family.In the final analysis, Narcissa Black Malfoy has already been thrown out, and of course she should think more about her husband's family.Although she is not as desperate as Lucius for the pursuit of fame and fortune, she still wants to get more chips for her only child.

Because of Lucius' previous misjudgment, he stumbled over the matter of the mysterious man, causing the entire family to almost collapse.This incident shocked Narcissa quite a bit.

Knowing her husband is more like a wife, Narcissa understands that her husband still believes in the possibility of a comeback for the mysterious person from the bottom of his heart, and out of fear, he may still make the same choice as before.So she beat her husband from time to time, encouraged him to make friends with the Sturluson family, and even suggested that the family move out and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.It wasn't that she didn't trust Lucius, she just didn't want Draco to suffer for his father's misdeeds.

When it comes to the choice of important matters, women will think farther and more practically than men.

Narcissa thought that her autocratic husband wouldn't listen to her for a while, but she didn't expect to mention it suddenly not long ago, and also hinted that she had an activity with the mysterious man at Hogwarts.The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft, which is known as impenetrable, couldn't resist the mysterious man's tricks?Although she knew in her heart that the primary purpose of the mysterious man would be to deal with the boy who survived the catastrophe once he returned, Narcissa still felt terrified.

"Let Rieger come to live with us for a while after the holiday, what do you think?" Lucius' face sank. "The mysterious man is not dead, he has been looking for an opportunity to fight back. It is understandable for fools like Fudge to deceive themselves, don't we former followers know?" He clenched his arms tightly, rubbing them repeatedly through the fabric, There was a trace of firmness in his eyes. "I've made it through with Chairman Sturluson."

Narcissa asked softly, "How did you tell him?"

Lucius smiled wryly, "What else can I say, tell him the truth, tell him my anxiety, the reality, and the dangers that may arise in the future. In fact, even if I don't tell him the truth, he still has a way to know it, so why hide it."

In other words, pull down your face and ask Rommel Sturluson for help?It's hard for him.Narcissa touched her husband's hand, she knew that he was for this family and for his son.The husband and wife have always considered themselves superior to others, and their arrogant personality prevented them from making friends in the true sense. The people they made were all stalkers."Outsiders" are indeed safer than "friends" in life-threatening situations.

"Will the Struluson family have a solution?" Narcissa asked her worry, even if she hid abroad, she would be found.

"When the mysterious person was in full swing, the Sturlusson family was able to stay out of the matter, let alone under the prepared situation. The main reason is that their family has no deep roots in the UK, and their affairs are relatively low-key. Another aspect..." Lucius After a pause, he leaned closer to his wife and whispered in her ear, "This Rommel is not simple, and his circle of involvement is bigger than I estimated before."

If Narcissa realized something, she would feel at ease.She didn't want to know the specific situation behind it, as long as the family of three could escape the crisis and be safe and sound.

"How are Draco and Rigg getting along?" Regardless of factors such as real difficulties, Lucius still hoped that the two children would treat each other sincerely.Since Draco met Rigg, his personality has become much more cheerful and lively, and he is not as depressed and extreme as before. This change makes a certain father who has been worried about the lack of education very gratified.

A son needs friends, real friends.

"Very good." Narcissa smiled softly. "That son of yours is Lige, and he looks like a cousin who is busy with everything." It made her a little jealous.

Lucius sighed, "He's just so lonely."

Narcissa doesn't want her husband to blame himself. Their education method comes from their parents, so it's not easy to find fault with their ancestors.She immediately changed the subject: "Draco is following Rigg tossing about Muggle money management."

Lucius frowned. "Muggle money management?" How did Draco get involved with Muggles?

"Don't be too quick to deny it," Narcissa said. "Muggle financial management is just a name. The specific situation is that Gringotts is operating, which is to imitate the way of Muggles. It is not really closely related to Muggles."

Just as Lucius was relieved, his wife said again: "Draco wrote to me before the holiday to ask me if there is any pocket money for him in Gringotts, and how much it is."

Lucius stared, almost breaking his cane in two. "Why didn't he come to ask me?" A certain father angrily scolded with unconcealed jealousy. "Unfilial son!"

Narcissa smiled but didn't answer.What else, as soon as you intervene, you will take over the whole matter, and then he will still make trouble with Rigg.

***

Draco looked in awe at the sight of the normal-sized toffee.Heimdall made fun of that awkward expression of curiosity and pretending to be calm for quite a while, which made Master Malfoy lose face.As the so-called 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, it didn't even work for a day, and Master Sturluson's face was also torn by Draco.Inadvertently talking about the explosion of the cauldron, Draco's way of making fun of people is to find similarities, and then play Lianliankan.It is said that only Gryffindor named Neville Longbottom had a new cauldron during the entire school year, and the other students were still using "second-hand ones".

Draco chanted "The New Crucible" over and over again, and Master Sturluson angrily ordered a certain black cat to commit murder: "Bite him! The pod!"

[I am a vegetarian. 】 With a kick of all fours, he jumped out of the window.

A certain boy was choked enough.

Joking aside, Draco still seriously analyzed the cause of a cauldron explosion for his cousin. "It's clearly written in your textbook. Cut the rosemary into three pieces, and crush the bamboo grass... When cooking, first stir clockwise for three times and then counterclockwise for five times... Take a closer look at how this potion is made. The method is quite simple, how could it explode?" Draco didn't think his cousin's IQ was on the same level as Longbottom's.

"I've never done it before. Who remembers whether to crush it or cut it up just by reading a book? It's fine if it's evenly stirred. Why are you doing it three times and four times?" Heimdall shook his head unrepentantly. "It would be great if Potions could also be an elective course, there would be a reason not to take it." He even became delusional.

Draco dropped the textbook in his hand, forget it, let Professor Snape and Professor Laurent worry about it.Because of their frequent correspondence, Draco knew that Professor Snape participated in his cousin's Potions education remotely.To be honest, he was a little jealous at first. Although Professor Snape was strict, he never taught any students extra, let alone students from other schools. Later, as Heimdall complained more and more, jealousy quickly turned into sympathy.

As the cousin himself said in the letter, the love of two Potions professors - the unbearable lightness of being.

After exchanging their final exams, Draco enthusiastically mentioned that he might be selected as the new Seeker of Slytherin House.

"Your old broomstick was a sweeper, wasn't it?" Heimdall asked.

"I bought it two years ago, and I didn't buy a new one when I entered school."

Heimdall joked, "I thought everything would be replaced with new ones according to Master Malfoy's character."

Draco said angrily, "I really like that broom."

"It's much slower than Nimbus 2000."

Draco curled his lips, and couldn't help saying enviously: "Not only Harry Potter, but the Weasley twins also use Nimbus 2000, and even use it as soon as school starts. Is their family really poor?" Draco said doubtfully. "Let's not talk about 2000, the previous model is quite expensive."

Oh, and he gave George and Fred the broom, so the Weasleys didn't spend a dime.Heimdall didn't tell Draco this, thinking it was unnecessary.The things that are sent out belong to others, so there is no reason to publicize them everywhere.

The topic was consciously brushed aside by Heimdall, and Draco turned his attention elsewhere.

The boys decided to check out the high-end Quidditch shop in Diagon Alley.Heimdall had been to Diagon Alley once before he came back, and the shopkeepers there were still the same, and they were both surprised and happy to see him.I learned that Nimbus 2001 will be on the market soon from Mr. Wells.

Draco is very interested in Nimbus 2001, but he now belongs to the "extremely poor class" like Heimdall.

"Can you discuss with Gringotts and bring it up temporarily, and add it later." Maybe Draco really likes the Nimbus series, or the impact of Harry Potter's Nimbus 2000 on him is too great , Before going to Diagon Alley, I started to think about expenditures.

The two boys faced the fireplace, discussing in a rambling manner.

"Where are you going?"

"Diagon Alley."

"go shopping?"

"Go buy a broom."

"Didn't you say you have no money?"

"Ask if you can get credit..." Heimdall suddenly realized, and Draco, who was equally astonished, turned to look.

Behind them stood Lucius Malfoy, expressionless, and Rommel Strulusson, arms crossed.

"Our family never pays on credit," Lucius said slowly.

Draco couldn't tell if his father was angry, so he didn't dare to speak.

Heimdall raised his head and looked at Rommel silently for a while, until the latter couldn't help but put down his arms and relax.

"What are you looking at, son?" Dad--was displeased with his calm.

"Do you have any money?"

A certain father is so sad, is this the value of Lao Tzu?

Heimdall suddenly laughed, "Just kidding." He stepped forward quickly, and Rommel bent over and hugged him, and slapped his son's face hard, and his son followed suit. His right cheek snapped.

"Nice to meet you, Dad."

Rommel joked to himself: "Of course happy, a mobile purse."

Heimdall smiled: "Didn't you say in your letter that you might not be able to leave for the time being?"

Rommel stroked his hair and said lightly, "Suddenly I'm free."

Compared with this pair of close father and son, the other pair of father and son seemed much more rigid and restrained.

Lucius found a trace of envy and yearning flashing in Draco's eyes, and he hesitated for a moment before putting his hand on his son's shoulder.Draco froze for a moment, then lowered his eyes, snuggling quietly beside his father.

***

With the addition of two mobile purses, the boys' shopping trip is naturally ample.

"What do you want to buy?" Rommel asked Heimdall.

"Don't buy anything, I don't lack anything." He was Draco's follower.

The four of them walked to the door of Lihen Bookstore, and Heimdall saw a huge poster of a new book hanging on the door. The author was Gilderoy Lockhart.

"Is this guy still so popular?" Heimdall had always thought his mannerisms were boring.

"Very popular." Draco didn't like this man either. "But judging from his book, he should be very capable." Otherwise, he wouldn't have won the Medal of Merlin Third Class.

Rommel raised his eyebrows: "The book is indeed a good book, but the author is regrettable."

Snow once said something similar.What's the meaning?Heimdall didn't know it.

"Mr. Lockhart will recommend his new book at Lihen Bookstore this summer vacation." Lucius tapped the poster with a snake-headed cane, and the people inside glared at him unhappily. "And I heard that he is very likely to become the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts."

Hogwarts changed teachers?This question flashed across Heimdall's mind.

Draco stuck out his tongue at Heimdall, who jokingly said, "Mr. Lockhart won't make every Hogwarts student buy his new book as a tutorial because of it?"

"His book is still good." Draco shrugged and said indifferently. "It's a big deal to tear off the cover when you buy it back."

"Mr. Malfoy!" A surprise call came from not far away, and Gilderoy Lockhart, the winner of the Merlin Third Class, was walking towards them excitedly. He and Heimdall remembered The impression in the book is exactly the same--the shiny blonde hair meticulously combed, the fashionable and complicated clothes, the invariable exaggerated demeanor and the chilling artificial smile.

Lucius sighed and greeted him resignedly.

Mr. Lockhart was very enthusiastic. After shaking hands, he hardly gave Lucius any chance to speak, and kept chattering.When talking with Lockhart, the mouth is very idle, but the ears suffer.

Finding that this person habitually ignores others, Heimdall wanted to run away unconscionably, but was dragged by Draco, and warned him with his eyes: We will all suffer together.

Thankfully, Mr. Lockhart finally stopped, as if he only found Rommel and the two boys at this time, "Who is this gentleman?" Guidero, who was fishing for fame, only pretended to be an adult in his eyes.

Rommel made a decisive decision: "Passing by." He tore off Draco's hand, grabbed his son and left without looking back.

"Haha, this man is really interesting." Mr. Lockhart pointed at the "passer-by father and son" who walked away quickly, and laughed pretendingly.

Draco scolded Heimdall for being dishonest in his heart, and swore viciously that if he really wanted to buy this Lockhart book in the new semester, he would not only tear up the cover, but also tear up all the illustrations inside!
