[HP] Years Whisk

"Sissy, it's all my fault. I was too careless to fall into Campbell's tricks. I never liked her." Lucius walked into Narcissa's bedroom and said with some embarrassment.

"It's nothing. In fact, I was dazzled by anger for a while before, so I did excessive actions in front of everyone. I should apologize to you." Narcissa looked a little sad, but she still admitted it rationally own mistake.

"So, Sissy—" Lucius stepped forward and took Narcissa's hand, "Can you forgive me? Can we—can we get back together?"

Narcissa lowered her head, she didn't break away from Lucius' hand, but she didn't answer 'yes' either.

"Lucius," after a while, Narcissa sighed softly, "I don't know how to answer you." She bit her lips, "I believe you made these abnormalities because of the 'love potion' But there is one sentence that I think you may be saying from your heart. You said, you regard me as your younger sister." She paused, and then continued: "In all fairness, our childhood sweethearts have been with each other for so many years. They are also very familiar. But it is because we are so familiar, so, will you treat me just as a kind of family affection for a childhood playmate, rather than love?"

Lucius just wanted to speak, but Narcissa covered her mouth with the hand that was not held by him.Narcissa poured out all her long-standing doubts in a broken jar: "I know that we are suitable marriage partners, and I also know what most pure-blood marriages are like. But Luke," She raised her head and looked straight into Lucius' gray eyes, the two pairs of sapphire pupils glistened with crystal tears, but with a kind of determination to abandon everything, "I like you, not like I like my brother I like you, but like a lover. So, I can't accept that our marriage afterward is also like the tacit pattern of people. I can't accept that you just treat me like a relative, but you have other lovers in addition. So, I ask you to think carefully, and then tell me, what kind of feelings do you have for me? Do you regard me as a relative, or do you have the same admiration for me as I have for you?" In the end, Naxi Sha's tone could not help but contain a trace of choking and pleading.

Lucius' eyes widened slightly, he was shocked by Narcissa's sincere confession.She is so beautiful now, he thought.So he couldn't help breaking away from Narcissa's hand covering his mouth, stepped forward, and hugged Narcissa tightly.

"Silly girl," Lucius lowered his head slightly, rubbing the tip of his nose against Narcissa's forehead affectionately, "Of course I'm the same as you." Although the current situation was a bit wrong, Lucius felt happy from the bottom of his heart. "Me too, I like you deeply, from the first time I saw you. When I saw you for the first time, I thought, Merlin is so amazing, magic is above, how can there be such a cute girl in the world You really look exactly like the future wife in my mind. Later, after we got to know each other, your intelligence, caring, gentleness, and understanding deeply moved me, making me feel that the world There will never be a better girl than you. At that time, I was deeply grateful, thankful that I met you very early, and no one knew you better than me. Then—" He closed his eyes slightly , felt that Narcissa also hugged him with her arms around her.Lucius felt a sense of happiness in his heart, and he murmured in a low voice: "Actually, every time I have a ball with you, I have mixed emotions. I want everyone to know that you are so beautiful and outstanding. But because we are not engaged yet, I am afraid that you will be snatched away by others, so I always hold you down with dance steps, preventing you from showing your demeanor in front of other boys. Even so far, you have no other admirers , because I secretly taught them one by one in private. Because, in the end, you can only belong to me." Having said this, he let go of Narcissa, and put his hands on her face, The gentleness overflowing from the gray pupils was like a warm mist. "Nacissa," he whispered the secret language between lovers: "I like you. Get engaged to me."

"But I can't figure out what went wrong." After the two of them had revealed their feelings to each other, the gap disappeared without a trace.Narcissa is naturally willing to be engaged to Lucius.But her affirmation was only the first step. In the end, the patriarchs of the two pure-blood families had to make a covenant before their engagement would be officially established.

When the misunderstanding was resolved, Lucius felt sorry for Narcissa's bloodshot eyes due to crying and lack of sleep. He let Narcissa lie on the bed to catch up on sleep, and he also lay on his back next to Narcissa, stroking her golden hair one after another. With slippery hair, he said in a tone of reminiscence: "I reviewed the whole process, but found that Astarte Campbell actually appeared by my side after I had already drank the love potion. Although , and then she continued to add love potions to my diet, but at the beginning, I was sure it wasn't her who gave me the potions. Because my father trained me, I wouldn't eat anything but me handed to me by someone other than someone I trust."

"So, do you remember what happened?" Narcissa covered the quilt, a little sleepy, but she still chatted with Lucius.

"This is exactly what I find strange." Lucius' voice came from her side, slightly puzzled: "According to the calculation of time, the time when I took the love potion for the first time should be It was the Monday when the exam week just started. But on that day, apart from meeting you in the morning, I stayed in the dormitory for reviewing."

"What?" Narcissa woke up suddenly. She sat up from the bed and asked Lucius seriously: "Are you sure it's Monday? So, did 'I' give you anything to eat?"

"I'm sure. As for what you gave me that day... well... let me think about it..." Lucius thought for a while and replied: "Actually, we met very short that day, because you didn't There is an exam, so I came over at breakfast time, gave me a drink, told me that you specially made it for me, and wished me a smooth exam. The taste of that drink is quite special, similar to the aroma on your body ..." Seeing Narcissa's increasingly serious expression, Lucius suddenly realized something.He also sat up in shock: "It wasn't you that morning!"

"Yes." Narcissa obviously also thought about it: "I didn't go to you that morning because I was busy with the exam. Someone pretended to be me." Her face was very bad, "Luke, we need to Tell our parents. The purpose of the person behind it is not pure, he does not want the position of the mistress of the Malfoy family. I am afraid that what he is eyeing is the marriage of our two families."

The follow-up of the matter was very simple and rude.

Astarte Campbell dropped out.

It wasn't Abraxas' pressure, but the Campbell family's apology to the Malfoy family.They even imprisoned Astarte Campbell and shipped it to Malfoy Manor in general, to pray for Abraxas Malfoy's forgiveness.

Abraxas did not soften his heart in the slightest.On the one hand, he accepted the "apology" and a large sum of money from the Campbell family, and on the other hand, he sent people to block the sea routes of the Campbell family's business, forcing them to conduct business in areas with poor business through high taxes and fees. Trading, making it impossible to make a profit at all, but also facing large expenses and taxes.Eventually the Campbell family became insolvent and went bankrupt.

It was actually very easy for Abraxas Malfoy to kill a pure-blood family with a small population.But he cherished the reputation of the Malfoy family, and he didn't bother to use this method to retaliate.He wanted to keep the Campbells alive, but was impoverished and expelled from the ranks of the nobility.This is his wake-up call to anyone who harbors ill will against the Malfoy family.

"Sygnus, I believe you have also received the letters from the children." In the dungeon in the remote part of Malfoy Manor, Abraxas said to Cygnus Black who was invited by him .

"So, it's this girl who did the trick?" Signus looked contemptuously at Astarte Campbell who was shivering in fear in the dungeon.

The Malfoy family didn't have a penchant for abusing prisoners, and Abraxas didn't spare any extra energy to pay attention to this 'pardon', so Astarte Campbell was just locked here, and was not subject to other punishments. devastated.However, she herself had frightened herself to the point of collapse.In the beginning, she was just asked if she would like to be the mistress of the future generation of the Malfoy family.Of course Astarte, who is beautiful and ambitious, but only the daughter of a small family, is willing.She does not hesitate to climb up and down, as long as she can become the top person, she can bet on anything.So, she agreed to the devil's temptation and was willing to be the one who 'seduced' Lucius.The Malfoy family valued offspring, and as long as she was pregnant, she could become the partner of Malfoy's future head.When the devil gave her the 'poisoned apple', the love potion, he also told her not to show timidity in front of Narcissa Black, because the higher the rank of the pure-blooded nobleman, the more dignified he is.So only after Narcissa Black felt offended and broke up with Lucius Malfoy would she have a better chance.So did Astarte.That's why she has more confidence in her plan, clinging to Lucius who was "captured" by her, waiting for "a spring night".But she didn't expect that the two pure-blood patriarchs would react so quickly. Before she could implement the next plan, Abraxas Malfoy came over and saw through everything about her at a glance.

Abraxas disdained to torture her, but he would not spare her family.Astarte Campbell figured it out when she was sent to Malfoy Manor as a 'pardon' by her family: she has no place in the pure-blood wizarding world, and her family has abandoned her. Even if she is alive, the future She can only live miserably with Muggles or half-breeds - this is unacceptable to her, so it is better to exchange death for Abraxas' sympathy for her family.

So, when Astarte met Abraxas for the first time after being sent to Malfoy Manor as a 'pardon', that is, when Abraxas and Signus came to the dungeon together , she couldn't wait to tell everything she knew.

"Very good. But I don't believe your words." Abraxas answered like this after listening.

Just when Astarte Campbell was about to despair, a house elf appeared beside her and handed her a glass bottle containing potions.

"It's Veritaserum. If you want, I can trust your statement after drinking Veritaserum." Abraxas said lightly.

Astarte smiled at him gratefully, drank the potion without hesitation, and then stated everything she knew again.Finally, he prayed to Abraxas: "I can answer any of your questions, please let my family live."

Abraxas didn't agree, he just asked indifferently: "Who is that person who gave you the 'love potion'?"

"It's Nick Nott. He's also a second-year student in Slytherin. One of the heirs of the Nott family." Astarte knelt on the ground and replied respectfully.

Abraxas glanced at Signus, and Signus shook his head, indicating that he was fine.So Abraxas said to Astarte Campbell: "For the sake of you being a child, I will spare you, but you must make an unbreakable oath: at no time will there be any vengeance against Marr." The thoughts of the Fu family."

Astarte Campbell shook his head. "I just hope you can spare my family." She looked at Abraxas beggingly.

"I will not take their lives, nor would I bother to do so," Abraxas replied.

Astarte gave Abraxas a grateful glance, then closed his eyes, and banged his head hard against the dungeon wall.

Abraxas didn't stop her from doing this either, he just quietly watched her commit suicide and lose her life. "It's a pity," he said to Signus beside him, "The education of those little pure-blood families is really putting the cart before the horse, but they don't know that life is the most precious thing in our pure-blood families." Astarte's body was taken down and sent to the suburbs for burial.

"So this is the difference between our aristocratic families and those with low background." Although Signus said so, his tone did not have much regret: "But that girl died for the honor of the family, not for them. Disgrace to the family. Have a good burial." He followed Abraxas out of the dungeon of Malfoy Manor and walked towards the main building.

"But the Nick Nott she just mentioned, I seem to have a little impression." Abraxas frowned: "The Nott family is a pure-blood family that has only become active in recent years. They belong to Tom Riddle A fanatical follower. I think this incident may have something to do with him."

"Really." Signus also frowned: "If this is the case, this matter will be a little troublesome."

"It's possible, I need to meet him." Abraxas said in a solemn tone.

"But having said that, Lucius told me that he proposed a marriage contract to Narcissa, and Narcissa agreed. I wonder if you have received the news?" After a while, Abraxas seemed to suddenly think of it. This matter, casually asked. "We old guys can't be so uninterested and interfere with the feelings between young people."

"Well, Sissy also mentioned this to me." Although Signus felt a little dissatisfied because his daughter was abducted so early, he generally agreed with their engagement.He sighed: "Forget it, the two of them are childhood sweethearts. Let's choose a date and announce their engagement."
