It had been three years since Lady Malfoy's death.

Many things had happened in the past two years. For example, Voldemort's influence had expanded. His followers had begun to call him the 'Duke Of Darkness', and the pure-blooded families had secretly spread rumors that he was a descendant of Slytherin. For example, the eldest of the three Black sisters, Bellatrix, had reached the age where she should attend Hogwarts and was accepted into Slytherin College. For example, Narcissa's youngest cousin, Regulus Black, was born.

Lucius had officially started his training as the family's heir in the first half of this year.

Abraxas' training for Lucius was unlike Lucius' training for Draco. During this time, almost every letter Lucius wrote to Narcissa was complaining about his training.

"Dear Sissy, I think my father might have misunderstood something. He locked me in a room full of Derbyshire Fairies and told me to bring them back to the cage.

Melinda's smelly socks, that was the end of the world … "

"Sissy, you know how disgusting the hair growth potion is!

A rat's tail!

That's actually one of the ingredients!

I bet my father made me make this potion to tell me not to drink potions that I don't know the ingredients of.

By the way, Sissy, I must be on good terms with someone who is proficient in Potioneering in the future.

I've had enough of those sticky, squishy things, not to mention stirring them with a wand!!!

I swear, other than Potioneering, don't let me touch those disgusting things.

Snot worms, leeches, leech juice.

When my father gave me these potion ingredients, he kept using a levitation spell. Not to mention his hand, even his wand didn't touch them at all … "

"Nobles' etiquette really isn't learned.

Sissy, do you girls have to be so particular?

I feel like I've lost all feeling in my facial muscles from the training. How did my father manage to switch between smiling and being serious so easily?

But the good news is, my father said that after this training is over, before the next one begins, I can invite you to stay at Malfoy Manor. Are you willing? "

"Dear Sissy, this week's training is to go to the Moroccan desert to collect moonlight grass.

But my father, other than his wand, what!

What!

East!

West!

All!

No!

To!

Me!

Sissy, I don't think I'll be able to wait to see you again.

You mustn't forget about me, or else I won't let you go even if I turn into a spirit … "

"Knock, knock, knock." Narcissa raised her head and saw the familiar spotted sparrowhawk outside the living room window.

It knocked on the window with its beak, and in its paw was a letter with a familiar'M 'printed on it.

Narcissa walked to the window, opened it, and let the sparrowhawk into the room.

After the sparrowhawk entered the room, it wasn't in a hurry to give the letter to Narcissa. Instead, it rubbed its head against Narcissa's hand, chirped at her twice, and then threw the letter on the table.

"Okay, okay, good girl.

I'll get you something to eat. "

Narcissa touched the sparrowhawk's feathers, smoothing it from head to tail. The sparrowhawk chirped gratefully.

When Narcissa went to the closet to get the jerky, Andomida walked into the room and saw the letter on the table.

She stepped forward and picked up the letter. "Look," she said, "our little brother-in-law has sent another letter to our sister.

Andomida turned and waved the letter in her hand at Bellatrix, who walked into the living room after her.

On the day of Lady Malfoy's funeral, Lucius was walking Narcissa to the living room when he bumped into Signas Black and Abraxas Malfoy, who were looking for the Beira sisters.

Lucius was still holding Narcissa's hand when Abraxas caught them.

"Look, what did I say?"

Abraxas turned back with a half-smile and said to Signas, "One of your Black family's daughters is destined to marry into our family. It'll be great if our families unite.

You know that Tom I told you about just now. He's quite ambitious. "

Then he bent down and smiled brightly. He said to Narcissa in a seductive tone, "You're Narcissa, right?

Tell me, do you want to marry this little brother next to you?

Marry him?

Then you'll be able to play with him every day.

And this Malfoy Manor is so big. He'll take you wherever you want to play. He'll also order the house elves to prepare whatever you want to eat.

So, come, tell me, do you want to marry into the Malfoy family? "

Signas heard Abraxas's words and rolled his eyes. "Malfoy, in order to kidnap my daughter, you lied and lied. It's really 'hard' on you.

Even children … "Before he could finish, he heard Narcissa say loudly," I do. "

Signas froze. He didn't know how to continue what he wanted to say. Even Abraxas was slightly surprised by Narcissa's boldness.

For a moment, no one spoke. It was so quiet that only the sound of clothes rubbing against each other could be heard.

Narcissa felt Lucius's hand loosen. He was hesitating whether to let go, but he didn't let go.

She didn't look at Lucius's expression, but secretly held his hand. She looked up at her father and Uncle Malfoy, who was bending down to coax her. She repeated loudly, "I do want to marry Lucius."

This time, the two nobles seemed to react.

Abraxas's eyes curved into crescents. His smile was more sincere than before. He touched Narcissa's hair and said to her, "Good girl."

He turned to Signas and spread his hands. "Now you can't refuse, my dear Signas.

Look, the children are all willing. "

Signas Black frowned and turned to Narcissa and Lucius. "You can't say for sure. Maybe it's just my useless little daughter's passion."

"I … I do." At this time, Lucius, who had been silent all this time, spoke. He looked at Signas, his eyes serious. "If Malfoy Manor needs a mistress in the future, I also hope that it will be Narcissa. I like Narcissa very much.

I'm very happy to be with Narcissa. "Narcissa felt his hand return.

Signas wanted to say something, but stopped when he saw their joined hands.

In the end, he sighed slightly and relented. "Then let them contact each other first. Don't spread the news of our marriage.

If they still want to marry each other when they grow up, then let's do it. "

Thus, even though the outside world didn't know, Black's family still knew about Narcissa and her 'little fiancé'.

Because of this, Andomida teased Narcissa a lot, pestering her to ask about the secrets of 'picking up boys'.

When Narcissa finally couldn't stand her pestering and was about to make up a story for her, Beira, who was passing by, rolled her eyes at both of them.

Beira was now a first-year student at Hogwarts Slytherin College.

Ever since she met the 'Duke Of Darkness' at Lady Malfoy's funeral, Beira became more and more obsessed with advanced and beautiful magic, most of which belonged to the category of black magic.

She looked at Narcissa and Andolida as if she was looking at two ignorant children. She looked at them condescendingly and unconsciously with the contempt of an adult.

In these two years, Voldemort's power had grown stronger.

His influence was growing, and he was secretly planning to become the leader of the pureblood family.

Narcissa's father, Signas, didn't deny this. According to the traditional views of the Black family, he was against the Muggles entering the wizarding world. Besides, Voldemort's influence was expanding under the banner of 'purebloods are supreme,' which was good for the old pureblood families. Therefore, although Signas didn't follow those people, he correspondingly stood on the side of the 'pureblood'.

Narcissa's Aunt Walbuga, on the other hand, was full of praise for Voldemort.

"Signas, I'm not the one saying this." Narcissa once heard Aunt Walbuga say this to her father.

"Voldemort is such an excellent pureblood wizard.

Listen to him, 'banishing the Muggles'. What a beautiful world he describes.

Weren't you classmates with him in the same year? You should know better than me how good he is.

I don't care what you think. I think he has the ability to lead the Black family to greater heights.

So why don't the Black family give him some help first?

At any rate, I hear that the Lestranges have made him an offer - but it seems to me that the Lestranges are not so much offering him an offer as giving him their allegiance.

He has the spirit to be a 'leader,' so the Black family can't fall behind. It's better to make friends with someone like him. It'll bring us more benefits. "

Signas Black didn't immediately agree with Walbuga.

"I don't know Riedel very well, but I know a little about him when I was a student.

His ambition isn't just to 'unite' with the pureblood families.

Abraxas was close to him when we were in school, but Abou has the same idea as me.

That's why we all want to wait.

While Riedel is still using the 'pureblood' banner, we'll watch from the sidelines and even help him. When he wants to change his slogan, we'll 'replace' him.

No matter how strong he is, he's still an independent wizard. Without the help of a family, it'll be hard for him to resist the control of our families. "

Walbuga Black pursed her lips in disagreement, but didn't say anything else.

She always knew her brother. Signas had inherited the Black family's stubbornness.

But as for what she was thinking in her heart, no one else knew.

At that time, Narcissa was secretly eavesdropping on their conversation outside the study. She was very anxious. She wanted to tell her father about what she had experienced, so she hurriedly opened the door and received the surprised gazes of the two people in the study.

"Father!

I

...

I

… "Narcissa opened her mouth, but she was horrified to find that she couldn't say anything about the 'future'.

Signas Black frowned and glared at Narcissa. "Narcissa, where are your manners?

Also, this isn't a place you should be. Get out. "

Narcissa didn't notice her father's harsh words. Her mind was filled with fear and panic that she couldn't speak of.

"I … I want to say … I …" Narcissa's face was pale. She touched her neck, and her fingers trembled.

"Narcissa!"

Signas saw that Narcissa ignored him, and was slightly angry. He raised his voice and shouted, "Get out!

Don't make me say it again. "

Narcissa was startled. She suddenly raised her head and looked at her father.

She found that her vision was getting blurry. She reached out and touched her face, and found that she was crying.

She felt embarrassed and panicked. Her thoughts were in a mess, and her head was buzzing.

She didn't want her family to see her in such a sorry state. She hurriedly bowed to her father and aunt, and then turned and stumbled out of the study.

When Signas saw her crying, his eyebrows furrowed again. He wasn't angry before, but worried this time.

He was reflecting on whether he had been too harsh with his words.

After that, he saw that Narcissa didn't say anything. She bowed and turned to leave. He stood up unconsciously, and wanted to call out to Narcissa, but she had already run out of the study.

"This child …" Signas sat down heavily and sighed. His eyebrows didn't loosen.

"Was I too strict?" He asked Walbuga.

"She's a child." Walbuga comforted him. "Crying and throwing tantrums are normal. She'll forget about it later.

My two boys often cry and throw tantrums too.

Regulus is better. He just learned how to talk.

Cyrius is like a mandrake that has just been pulled out of the ground. If something doesn't go his way, he's like an exploding crucible. He'll cry out immediately. He'll cry and roll on the ground. You can't coax him.

Last time, his father had to compromise and take him to Diagon Alley to play. They bought him a three-headed dog doll.

That's why your family has three daughters. It's so easy. "
