Chapter 19 Laurel Tree

Narcissa took Lucius' arm and walked into the ballroom of Malfoy Manor.

On one side by the door of the ballroom, Abraxas Malfoy was surrounded by a group of fashionable and gorgeous ladies.He talked to everyone naturally, without neglecting anyone or paying special attention to anyone.Every gesture makes people feel very comfortable and friendly, but there is a sense of distance that is indescribably polite.He noticed Narcissa and Lucius entering the ballroom, and turned to walk towards them.

"Uncle Malfoy, good day." Narcissa quickly bowed to Abraxas who was walking towards her.

"Father." Lucius lowered his head slightly, and also greeted Abraxas.

"Oh, it's Little Sissy here. Welcome." Abraxas nodded slightly to Lucius and then turned to Narcissa with a smile on his face. "What kind of uncle is it? It's so strange. You can just be with Lucius and call me 'Father'. Signus and I have such a good relationship, he will definitely not mind."

"Mr. Malfoy is really humorous." Following behind Abraxas, a woman in a purple slim-fitting long dress with charming makeup smiled and said.

"If you ask me, isn't this humorous? It should be approachable." Another lady who also followed said unwillingly. She cast a disdainful glance at the woman who spoke before, but turned to Abraxas There was a flattering smile on his face. "Master Malfoy, is this your precious son? He is so handsome, and he really looks like you." She said, turning to Lucius, looking him up and down with a smile. "Oh, it looks like a good-looking talent, I really like it more and more."

"What do you like?" The woman in the purple dress rolled her eyes, she fanned the peacock-feathered fan in her hand, and looked at Lucius: "This child is really destined for me. Zhong thinks that if I have a son, I should be like him. It seems that my trip to England is not in vain, Master Malfoy, I suddenly feel that the gift I brought is a little lighter, and I happen to be in Fontaine, France There is a villa in Bailu, which is relatively close to the castle of our Capet family, so I gave it to this "little gentleman" as a gift. Coincidentally, I have a niece who also lives there, and she lives in Beauxbaton, France Go to the magic school, you can communicate more when you have time."

There was a decent smile on the corner of Abraxas's mouth, but his eyes were somewhat contemptuous, and he glanced at the two ladies who were arguing with a half-smile, and introduced to Lucius: "This is the Russell family. Mrs. Margaret, this is Lady Beatrice from the French Capet family. Then she turned to the two ladies: "This is Narcissa Black, the youngest daughter of Cygnus Black from the Black family.This is my son, Lucius Malfoy. "

"Oh, the little girl of the Black family. You asked her to call you 'Father', has it been settled?" A middle-aged man in a three-piece brown suit held a glass of dry red wine together Coming over, the corners of his eyes drooped downwards, giving him a vicious feeling.

"Where is it, it's just that Signus and I have a better personal relationship, tease these 'junior'." Sass of Abrak retorted cunningly: "Master Rozier, these children are still young, now consider Isn't it too early to get married?"

"I don't think so," the man from the Rozier family snorted coldly: "Now those bastards are messing up the wizarding world, so we should settle down for these children earlier, so that they won't be hooked by the mudbloods outside. Go, and ruin the family name."

"That's right." Mrs. Margaret Russell, who was originally competing with the lady in the purple dress, interjected, "I agree with that. After all, Patriarch Malfoy, you are a man, so you may not be very clear about this: Those mudbloods outside are all like veela, as if they can’t live without men. And your son is so good, don’t be contaminated by those lowly people, bad luck.” She slowed down her speech, and spoke His tone seemed very sincere, and he said earnestly, "I want to say, Master Malfoy, it's time for Malfoy Manor to usher in a mistress. You see, Lucius is getting old, and he also needs a mature of women lead from 'mothers'."

"It's not in a hurry." Abraxas winked at Mrs. Russell ambiguously; "I still hope to find a 'compassionate' wife, so I still have to choose carefully. He turned to Narcissa and Lucius, reached out and patted Lucius on the shoulder, looked at Narcissa, and said kindly: "You two have fun and enjoy this Christmas dinner." Then he turned to those few A group of people gathered around and led them to the center of the ballroom: "Come, come, let's talk over there."

Narcissa looked at Abraxas who had a good conversation with the lady, and was slightly dazed.

In his memory, he was a lively person and always liked to hold various luxurious banquets or dances.However, what is puzzling is that after his death, not even a portrait remained.

Narcissa found it difficult for her to associate him with the word "hungry ghost" after she had really come into contact with such a vivid Abraxas.Although he has never lost all kinds of female companions, Narcissa can tell that most of them are greedy for the title of 'Mrs. Malfoy' and gather around him.Abraxas may be flirtatious, but he's never frivolous.But in the previous life, there was indeed a saying among the pure-blood families that Abraxas died suddenly because of the malignant disease of "dragon pox" caused by lust.

When she married into the Malfoy family in the previous life, Lucius was already the head of the Malfoy family.Her father also admired such a young Lucius who supported the Malfoy family on his own, so he agreed to the marriage of the two.In this life, she has had a deeper contact with Abraxas Malfoy. To her, Abraxas is not only a title of "Lucius' father", but also a kind and sincere man. Elder, because in contact with him, Narcissa can feel the kind of sincere love from the elders for the younger generation that is very precious to pure-blood families.

So this time, I hope Abraxas can stay healthy all the time, Narcissa thought secretly in her heart.How about a goblin-made amulet with blessings and protection from disease?I remember that I have fluorite that goblins like in my collection, so let's exchange it for a talisman that wards off diseases.

Narcissa actually didn't stay in Malfoy Manor for too long.

She and Lucius wandered around the ballroom (Lucius thought that Narcissa hadn't learned ballroom dancing, and Narcissa also thought that Lucius hadn't trained in ballroom dancing, so the two of them didn't dance), and then secretly with Lucius. He ran to the back kitchen of Malfoy Manor, commanding the house elves to help them cook a table of 'non-traditional' Christmas dinner, including chocolate-drenched fruit and a small cake sandwiched with macaroons; After that, the two of them went for a walk in the garden of the manor to eat and drink together. Lucius saw the blue peacocks that stood out in the snow, and drew out his wand to turn the feathers of these peacocks into white. "This looks much more pleasing to the eye and more harmonious." Before he finished sighing, Narcissa slapped the snow on his face as a prank, and then the two began to play in the snow, chasing me Rush, carefree.

Afterwards, the sky gradually darkened, and Narcissa offered her farewell. After greeting Abraxas, she was escorted by Lucius back to Black Manor from the Floo Network.

By the time Lucius returned from the Blacks' house, the dance was over.

"Lucius." Abraxas sat on the sofa by the fireplace of the Floo Network, without the usual smile on his face at the ball. He looked at the slightly messy ball hall due to the exit of the guests, as if he was Questions like 'Have you eaten' are usually asked flatly to Lucius: "Do you really like that child Narcissa?"

Shocked by his slightly serious tone, Lucius was slightly taken aback, his face flushed a little: "I like it." "I feel like Narcissa is just like the sister I've always wanted, very cute," he said because he remembered Happy memories, with a warm look on his face.

"She is a good child. And I do have some friendship with Signus, so I need to be more cautious about the two of you." Abraxas took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled: "I hope You are married to the Blacks, not enemies.

"We won't, I'm sure Narcissa will be a qualified mistress of Malfoy Manor in the future." Lucius hastily argued.

"A qualified mistress of Malfoy Manor?" Abraxas repeated what Lucius said, and there was no praise or criticism in his tone: "Like your mother?"

"I thought," Lucius said with some hesitation, "you hate my mother."

Abraxas didn't answer Lucius directly, he shrugged. "You have to know, Lucius, love is not everything. There are many things that are much more important than it. If one day you sit in the position of Patriarch, you will find that love is simply insignificant." Abraxa Si's eyes looked at the crystal chandelier in the center of the ballroom in a daze, as if he was recalling, or just casually said a few exclamations. "Pure bloods are married because of blood inheritance or family union, and have lovers outside of marriage. This is something that pure blood families have tacitly agreed with each other."

Lucius didn't interrupt, he listened quietly to Abraxas' teaching.

"Malfoy pays the most attention to the family. In fact, he pays attention to heirs and inheritance. As for the choice of wife," Abraxas sneered: "It has always been that as long as it can bring the greatest benefit to the family, it doesn't matter who it is. But one Name, for the sake of the family, making a little sacrifice is nothing. As long as the 'wife' does not cause too much scandal, or if the 'scandal' is wiped out before the 'scandal' occurs, then this woman can be regarded as a A 'qualified Mistress of Malfoy Manor'. But, I hope, that's not the case for you.

"My marriage was not something I could decide at the time. So I hope you can find a woman 'worth marrying'. Not only for our family, but also for yourself. Life is very long, and many times It's also very boring. I hope you can find a woman who can accompany you through this long life. Being together can somewhat reduce such boringness.

"In fact, sometimes I hesitate to bring you and Signus' daughter together. I hope there will be love in your marriage, but I am afraid that love will destroy you. You know, 'Beauty Land, Hero's Tomb' It’s not unreasonable that the saying has been circulating for so long. But love may only happen once, and I don’t want you to regret it.” Abraxas put out his cigarette and said to Lucius: “Rest early, Today's dinner is also a bit tiring, I have ordered the house elf to clean up the living room."

Lucius nodded, and then went back to his room to rest.He walked a few steps, and heard Abraxas behind him softly added: "I hope you have a good day today." Lucius turned his head and saw Abraxas was looking at his back , after seeing him turn back, the corners of Abraxas' eyes slightly curved, and the eyes unconsciously showed pride and relief.

"Yes, father, I am very happy today." Lucius smiled at Abraxas: "You also rest early." After speaking, Lucius left with that warm smile all the time. the banquet hall.
