Chapter 13
Autumn 1966, London, King's Cross Railway Station, Platform 9 3/4.
It was the start of another year of school.
No matter how the atmosphere changed, it did not dampen the excitement of the young wizards who were about to enter the Hogwarts.
They chattered as they held their parents' hands, pushed their luggage carts, or carried owls' cages, and arrived at the waiting area early in the morning.
Narcissa was one of the young wizards who was about to enter the school this year.
She was wearing a dark blue academic shirt, an emerald green pleated skirt, and brown calfskin boots, which made her skin look as white as milk.
Beside her was Andomida, who was wearing jeans.
In front of them, Beira, who was wearing a suit, was walking beside their parents.
"You know, Sissy, the sorting ceremony is dangerous."
Andomida made threatening gestures to scare Narcissa. "Last year, we were asked to challenge the ghosts of the Hogwarts. We had to defeat the ghosts of the Hogwarts in order to enter the school.
As for this year … "She looked around, and then mysteriously leaned close to Narcissa's ear." I heard that you're going to challenge the centaurs in the forbidden forest! "
Narcissa looked at Andomida helplessly. After experiencing the sorting ceremony once, she obviously did not believe Andomida's words.
Andomida saw Narcissa's indifference and became anxious. "It's true, I'm not lying.
If you don't believe me, you can ask Lucius. "
"Okay, okay, okay." Narcissa agreed. She was very interested in Andomida's suggestion.
She also wanted to know whether Lucius would tell her the truth, or find a different 'plot' to tease her, a 'new student'.
"Children are so energetic, aren't they?
My dear. "
In front of Narcissa, Druela looked back at her and Andomida bickering. She could not help but smile from the bottom of her heart.
"In the blink of an eye, the youngest Sissy is going to school." Signas sighed. "Time is really merciless.
When Beira first started school and we took her to platform 9/3/4, I always had the illusion that you and I were just senior students at Hogwarts.
When Andomida started school, I finally felt like a father sending his daughter to school.
And now, Sissy was going to leave us and go to school.
In my impression, she was just a little girl who needed me to hug her or buy her a pretty dress. She had grown so big without me noticing.
Sigh, I'm really worried about her. "
Druela smiled as she listened to Signas's lamentation. She leaned her head on Signas's shoulder and said, "You're still talking about it. You're already lamenting when Sissy goes to school.
What will you do if she marries someone else?
I have a feeling that even though Sissy is the youngest of the three sisters, she might be the first to get married. "
"Hmph, that brat from the Malfoy family." Signas snorted.
"He's just as flashy as his father.
If Sissy wasn't willing, I wouldn't have allowed him to pester Sissy like this.
But if he wants Sissy to marry into his family, then he can wait. "
"You —" Druela patted Signas's hand gently.
"How long can you stop them?
According to the tradition of pureblood families, our daughters have to be engaged before graduation at the latest.
Otherwise, do you want them to be like Alphard and not get married until they're in their thirties? "
"Anyway, I can't let the Malfoy family take advantage of me.
I can still make decisions for my daughter, "Signas said in a fit of pique.
"Yo, what a coincidence, Signas."
An aria like voice sounded from the side of Signas, "I think I just heard you guys talking about the Malfoy family?"
Abraxas was wearing a light white three-piece suit and a white jazz hat. He held a sandalwood cane in his hand and walked towards them.
Behind him was Lucius, who was wearing the same light colored suit. One big and one small, they looked like they were made from the same mold.
"You have good ears," Signas muttered in a low voice, then put on a smile and went up to them, "Abou.
You're here to send your children to school too? "
"Of course."
Abraxas's gaze swept across Black's family and stopped on Narcissa for a few seconds. He asked knowingly, "I remember that your youngest child is going to school this year, Signas?
My Luc is going to be in the second grade. As his senior, I'll ask him to take care of your child. "
"You're right.
But Narcissa has her two sisters to take care of her, so there's no need to trouble your Lucius. "
“?
G, don't say that.
We're going to be a family in the future anyway. There's no need to be so distant between our families.
Luc taking care of Sissy is something he should do. "Hearing Abraxas's shameless words, Signas really wanted to disregard etiquette and curse.
"I remember that I haven't agreed to betroth Sissy to Lucius?" Signas pretended to cough and interrupted Abraxas.
"Isn't this an unspoken agreement between our families?"
Abraxas asked back. Then he signaled to Lucius with his eyes and raised his chin at the Hogwarts Express.
Lucius understood Abraxas's meaning almost immediately.
He walked out from behind Abraxas and bowed to Signas and Druela. Then he nodded to Beira and Andomida as a greeting before turning to Narcissa.
"Sissy, it's almost time to leave. Let's get in the car."
Andomida, who was next to Narcissa, looked at Lucius jokingly. "Hey, hey, hey, Malfoy, you can't forget about your friends when you're with a girl.
We were classmates at the Hogwarts for a year.
How can you ignore me when you see my sister? "
Lucius knew that Andomida was a talkative person, so he ignored Andomida and said to Narcissa, "Do you want to go to the Malfoy family's box with me later?
I can tell you about the school division. "
Beira couldn't stand watching Lucius and Narcissa and rolled her eyes.
"I'm going to get in the car."
She said to Signas and Druela, then turned to Andomida and Narcissa. "You two, do you want to come with me?"
Narcissa quickly agreed and looked at Lucius. "Then, I'm going to get in the car. Do you want to come with me?"
Just as Lucius was about to get in the car with Narcissa, Signas interrupted. "Sissy, wait a minute."
He pulled Narcissa in front of him. Druela also came over and touched Narcissa's blonde hair.
"Remember to write to us and take care of yourself."
Druela gently reminded Narcissa. "You just left home and might not be used to it. If there's anything, ask your two sisters for help, remember?"
Narcissa nodded obediently.
Signas also reminded her. "Remember, don't embarrass the Black family.
If someone bullies you, fight back. Slytherin's students aren't pushovers, but the Black family isn't to be trifled with either.
The Black family is one of the twelve school directors of the Hogwarts. You can ask Beira and Andomida for some privileges. "
Then he lowered his voice. "Also, remember to stay away from Malfoy while you're at school. Know your limits and don't let him bully you." He patted Narcissa's shoulder and said, "Let's go."
Then he turned to Beira and Andomida. "You two too. Don't forget what I told you every year.
Remember, you're now the representatives of the Black family. Don't bring shame to the family.
Go. "
The three Black sisters nodded. They said goodbye to Signas and Druela and walked towards the Hogwarts express.
Lucius also turned to Abraxas. Abraxas waved at him. "Let's go to school.
If there's anything, I'll send a sparrowhawk to send you a letter. "Lucius nodded to Abraxas and turned to board the train.
As soon as Lucius boarded the train, Andomida, who was waiting for him in the corridor, pulled him aside.
"Malfoy, I was talking to you just now and you ignored me."
"Let go, Andomida.
My suit is crumpled. "Lucius was a little annoyed as he tidied up the corner of his suit that Andomida had grabbed.
"I don't know which family can stand your temper."
"Ha, you don't have to worry about who I marry." Andomida crossed her arms in front of her chest. "I just ruined your 'illusion' of being a gentleman in front of Sissy. I don't know who it is, but as soon as he sees my sister, he can't wait to stick to her. Even a peacock's tail isn't as attentive as you."
"You —" Lucius glared at Andomida angrily.
"What's wrong?" Andomida said slowly and unhurriedly. "You two aren't engaged yet.
Even if you're engaged and Sissy marries into your family, you still have to call me second sister.
Come on, Malfoy, call me — "
"Forget it." Lucius frowned and suppressed his anger. "Why are you looking for me?"
When Andomida saw that Lucius did not refute her, she thought that she had won the argument with Lucius. Her anger towards Lucius for ignoring her just now also disappeared. She coughed lightly and unconsciously raised the corner of her mouth. She stopped provoking Lucius. "I want to talk to you about some words."
"What?" Lucius was confused. "What words?"
"It's … it's about the school division."
Andomida looked at Lucius's expression. "I just told Sissy that their school division ceremony will be to challenge the centaurs in the forbidden forest.
If Sissy asks you, you … don't let it slip. "
"Do you think Sissy is a three-year-old child?
This story was too ridiculous.
Also, what if Sissy finds out that I lied to her and she gets angry at me?
No, no. "Lucius shook his head and turned to leave.
"Hey —" Andomida stepped forward and stopped him. "Don't you want Sissy to look at you with admiration?
Think about it. When she gets scared after hearing about the school division ceremony, you rush up to her and comfort her. Then you tell her that you will protect her and go to the forbidden forest with her — "She saw that Lucius's expression was a little relaxed. Obviously, he was a little tempted. She continued," Also, about the school division ceremony, everyone has been deceived like this for generations.
That's what makes it interesting.
When she really gets angry at you, you can just push the blame to me. "
Lucius turned around and looked at Andomida from the corner of his eyes. "Are you that kind?"
"Of course."
Anyway, Sissy is definitely closer to me than to you. Andomida thought. If she gets angry after the school division ceremony, I have to find a 'scapegoat'. At that time, I don't believe that she doesn't believe you and me.
