No matter how many years passed, Hogwarts would always be Hogwarts.

Narcissa followed her distant memory and slowly walked towards the Hogwarts Express, the carriage that belonged to the twelve trustees.

Now, the rooms in the carriage were freshly decorated. The new tablecloths and curtains were white and light, and the metal carvings were polished until they sparkled.

At the end of the carriage was the third last room. The door was tightly shut, and the Black Family Crest was engraved on it, decorated with black gems and silver. It was the place Narcissa was most familiar with — there, she used to drink tea with Beira and Andomida, watching the scenery outside the window slowly recede. There, she used to lead the quiet and obedient Regulus, explaining to him about the Hogwarts and how difficult the 'test' of the school was.

Narcissa slowly came to a stop, recalling the memories of the past.

Beira, who was in front of her, pushed open the door to Black's compartment and was about to enter when she realized that Narcissa wasn't following her. She turned around and asked, "What's wrong?

Why aren't you walking? "

"Ah, ah." Narcissa came back to her senses and quickly answered.

"Nothing."

She found a random excuse. "I was just thinking, Andomida and Lucius … It seems like they didn't follow us?"

"Tch." Beira turned around and walked into the compartment.

"Don't worry about them. Even though they were classmates in the same grade, I don't know why they didn't get along when they started school. Lucius always looked down on Andomida, and Andomida always wanted to provoke Lucius. I just saw Andomida drag Lucius away. Maybe they want to find a place where no one is around to fight."

Narcissa didn't know how to respond. In her past life, she had suspected the relationship between Lucius and Andomida. She wondered if it was because Andomida had escaped from the Black Family that Lucius had hurriedly gotten engaged to her.

But at that time, everything was settled. In the end, she was engaged to Lucius, and there was no more news of Andomida. It was not until a long, long time later, when she heard someone mention an Oro named Tonks, that she heard Andomida's name again. But in the blink of an eye, those people changed the topic.

Narcissa lowered her head and walked into the compartment of the Black family. She told herself not to think too much, but she couldn't stop her jealousy.

In her past life, she only met Lucius when she was in the third grade. She didn't talk to him much before the fifth grade. She only knew that Lucius was a very good senior from the girls who had a crush on him. Since Lucius and Andomida were in the same grade, they must have known each other well.

After the fifth grade, she slowly became familiar with Lucius. Lucius liked to chat with her and joke with her. But sometimes, when she saw Andomida yelling at Lucius, Narcissa felt that this was the most intimate relationship.

Narcissa sometimes wanted to throw tantrums at Lucius like Andomida, but she found that every time she was slightly dissatisfied, Lucius would find the best way to defuse her. Sometimes, under his meticulous tolerance, Narcissa felt that she had to show him her most perfect side. Otherwise, how could she be worthy of the 'perfect' Lucius?

"Sissy?"

The door to the Black compartment was pulled open. Lucius leaned in. "Are you going to rest in Black's compartment?

I was going to take you to the Malfoy compartment. "

He looked at Narcissa. "You know that I'm the only child in my family. Crabbe and Gower will take me to the normal compartment of their class, so —"

Narcissa broke free from her troubled thoughts and looked at Lucius. When their eyes met, they nodded and smiled at each other.

Lucius coughed softly, and the tips of his ears trembled. "Let me assume that I have the honor of inviting you to Malfoy's carriage as a guest?" He extended his hand to Narcissa.

"Of course." Narcissa shook his hand.

But just as she was about to get up and go to the Malfoy compartment with Lucius, the door to the Black compartment was pulled open again.

"Hey!

Malfoy! "Andomida rushed in and slapped Lucius's shoulder so hard that Lucius staggered." Don't forget what you promised me. "

"Hiss —" Lucius let go of Narcissa's hand and rubbed his shoulder that Andomida had slapped.

"I know, I know.

I didn't know you were so rude. The division — "He stopped talking under Andomida's glare. Realizing that he had let the cat out of the bag, he quickly corrected himself." How did you get assigned to Slytherin during the division ceremony?

You're a Gryffindor. "

"You —" Andomida was furious. She pulled out her wand.

At this time, Narcissa forced herself between them. "Andomida."

She called softly and turned to Lucius. "Aren't you going to take me to the Malfoy compartment?"

"Yes." Lucius raised his chin and snorted at Andomida. Then he left the Black compartment with Narcissa.

Andomida was stunned for a moment. Then she was furious. When she was about to rush out and 'fight' with Lucius, Beira stopped her. "Andomida!"

Take note of your status. "Thus, Andromeda could only sit back down on the sofa in Blake's private room.

Meanwhile, in the Malfoy compartment.

"How did the Black family give birth to such a rude girl like Andomida? Sissy and Bellatrix have good manners." Lucius was still angry about what had just happened when he returned to the compartment.

He could not stop complaining about Andromeda as he walked round and round in the box.

"Lucius."

Narcissa, who had been silent all this while, finally could not hold back her words. "You —" She paused, as if she felt that what she said was beyond the scope of her accusation. She swallowed the rest of her words.

"What's wrong?

Sissy? "Lucius stopped complaining and looked at her.

"No, nothing." Narcissa lowered her head and shook it.

She wanted to ask if he liked Andomida. Otherwise, why would he be so angry at her?

"Sissy!"

Lucius saw that Narcissa wanted to say something but stopped. He didn't want to talk about Andomida anymore. Instead, he quickly sat down next to Narcissa.

"Do you want to ask me something?"

"No, no." Narcissa gave Lucius the 'sweet smile' that she had been practicing for a long time. She pretended that nothing had happened. She even silently regretted showing her emotions that she shouldn't have.

Unexpectedly, Lucius's face darkened. "Sissy," he said seriously, "I don't want to pretend between us.

You know, since I was a child, you have been one of the most important and closest people to me.

I hope you can tell me your thoughts directly. This way, we won't have to guess and misunderstand each other. "

"I want to know —" Narcissa looked up at Lucius. She gathered her courage, but when she saw Lucius's gray eyes, she lost her courage. However, Lucius's gaze told her, "Say it, I want to hear it." So, Narcissa continued.

"I want to know, do you like Andomida?"

"Me?

Andomida? "

Lucius's eyes widened in shock as if he had heard a fantasy story. He frowned and said, "Where did you get the wrong impression?

Or did someone say something to you?

I hate her. "He rubbed his temples and thought for a moment." Is it because she called me out today?

She was talking to me about the sorting. "

"The sorting?"

After Narcissa said it, the jealousy and doubt in her heart suddenly disappeared. She calmed down and couldn't help but laugh at herself for being jealous just now.

She blinked and turned her attention back to Lucius's answer. She was also looking forward to how Lucius would 'answer' her about the sorting ceremony.

"Well, it's like this." Lucius talked nonsense with a straight face, ruthlessly 'selling out' Andomida.

"Andomida dragged me over just now because she wanted me to lie to you about the sorting ceremony.

She wanted me to tell you that the sorting ceremony is to go to the Forbidden Forest to fight … fight … "" Centaurs? "Narcissa reminded him in a low voice.

"Yes, go to the Forbidden Forest to fight with the Centaurs."

Lucius continued, "But in fact, you're just a little wizard who just entered the school. How could the Hogwarts let you do such a dangerous thing?

So, it's like this. "He leaned closer to Narcissa with a serious face." You need to find a senior 'Guardian' in the Hogwarts. After that, your life in the Hogwarts will be guided by him/her. So, you'll be in whichever school this' Guardian 'is in. "

"So …" Narcissa dragged out her words. "You're saying that I need to find Beira or Andomida to be my 'Guardian'?"

"I forgot to mention that to avoid suspicion, the 'Guardians' can't be from the same family."

Lucius winked at Narcissa, waiting for her to logically say that she chose him as her 'Guardian'.

"Then … that's a bit difficult."

Narcissa pretended to be troubled and said deliberately, "The Black family doesn't seem to have any senior Slytherin students, so …" She looked at Lucius, and Lucius looked at her expectantly.

"How about you pick me?" "How about I borrow Gore or Crabbe from you?" Both of them said at the same time.
