Chapter 4: Telling Stories

The afternoon sun shone into the study through the window, and cast mottled light and shadow onto the wooden table. Although it was summer, the occasional breeze still made people feel a little cool.

Draco was in the Study being entranced by the sea of ​​books. He had not let go of an even simple magic book of spells.

With his awesome cheat called 'super memory', Draco could always feel his knowledge reserves constantly increasing. This increase in knowledge can bring more satisfaction than other desires.

People are short-sighted animals, so other generations, including Draco himself, will be passionate about many online games. As the experience on the screen increases, the gold coins will give you instant feedback, and the rewards of one short cycle will make you feel uncomfortable.

On the contrary, who does not know the importance of learning? But how many people can continue to learn? The extremely long feedback cycle brings endless self-doubt in the process. People often struggle to think that they have done nothing and think about why they can't see results. Often this is the case, each and everyone chooses to retreat and fall. Becoming a slave to the short-cycle feedback.

Don't worry about forgetting, plus his passion for magic, made Draco a real study addict.

"It seems that liquid luck potion is very difficult to make." Closed book, Malfoy sighed.

The previous Malfoy was not very interested in the so-called strong efficacy potion such as Polyjuice Potion. Instead, he was very curious about the liquid luck potion, and how the potion can temporarily change his lucky value. In this life, there is a chance that Draco will not let go. But looking through lots of books he still came to a conclusion – that is, it's difficult to find materials for the potion and that it has a difficult production method. Even if he made no mistakes and everything was ready. He would still have to wait six months.

"But I won't give up trying." Draco thought so.

"What's bothering you." Just as Malfoy was thinking, a middle-aged man suddenly entered the room. There were some familiarities between them.

"Small things, maybe my kid is too happy to be happy." This is Lucius's voice.

The sound barely fell, when a knock sounded on the door.

He closed the "Magical Potion Production and Uses" book, stood up from his chair and walked to the door to open it.

"Hey, little Malfoy, we met again, this time you may need to help your Uncle a little busy." The master who is familiar with the sound is the Hector he saw last time. Standing next to it is Lucius.

Before the words were finished, a small silhouette emerged from behind Hector, watching her Draco couldn't help but touch his forehead.

Who could It be? Of course, it is Pansy Parkinson.

Today Pansy had replaced her gothic-style dress with a white dress. The cuffs had this pale yellow bow, and the skirt was embroidered with a rose pattern. Her red leather boots were simple and expensive, and she also held a delicate ladies' bag. If the last time Pansy was dressed up like a devilish little demon, this time it was like a fairy coming out of a fairy tale.

"We meet again." Pansy looked at Draco and said softly.

"Welcome." Draco didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he could only bow slightly.

"Hey, that gangster." Hector suddenly said.

"Which family does not have two such people? You don't have to make a big problem out of it." Lucius advised.

It was difficult for two people with unequal status to have friendship, and the friendship that lacks the exchange of interests is not a true friendship. As a pure-blood wizard with two similar interests, it was impossible to only be a pure friend relationship. Malfoy Family's gold Galleons naturally didn't come out of thin air. Gaining profits through various investments is not just a patent for muggles. The wizards will need to make money.

Unfortunately, today Hector had encountered economic problems, and fortunately, there was Lucius to help him. Therefore, it was necessary for the two people to go out for a discussion.

"I don't want to give all my money to Gringott's." There was no good feeling for the group of Goblin from wizards. Hector was no exception.

"Okay, don't say these words in front of the children." Lucius turned and said to Draco. "You've heard us. I have an arrangement with your Uncle. It's not convenient to follow, so you accompany her. I think we can come back at night."

"This girl had to follow me, she gave me a headache whilst asking to come. Now I can only trouble the little guy in your family. We can't delay the situation anymore, or we don't know what the locusts will take."

"Pansy, behave, don't be like the last time." Hector still warned Pansy before he left.

"Okay, okay, you can rest assured," Pansy said while playfully pouting, her face was flushed red, it seems she had recalled the accident.

"Don't worry, father, Uncle, I will take care of her." Draco also had some regrets about the accident. He hoped to make up for it this time. Naturally, he promised, but he estimates it is very It's hard to imagine what will happen afterward.

"Let's go, Hector, I think those locusts will enjoy our anger."

"I can't wait, Lucius, it seems that they have forgotten our past reputation for a long time. It is time for them to be reminded of it."

Then the two men's physique disappeared with a crack. Obviously they had apparated.

"This is the legendary apparition." Draco couldn't help but show a craving for such power. Compared to the lethal spells, he was more interested in the more mysterious spells. When any witchcraft involves space and time, the difficulty will rise geometrically. Compared to the fordable powerful spell Avada Kedavra, Draco felt that this witchcraft was the source of the progress of Wizarding World. It was also showed the true presence of magic and it's mystery.

Think about it, how much difference does Avada Kedavra have with bullets from pistols? The common people, that is, the technology research of the muggle had long been ignorant of witchcraft. What is the most powerful magic or a nuclear bomb?

However, in terms of space-time, the research of the wizard is ahead by a lot, and there may be many restrictions on the use. However, the Time-Turner involves the mystery of time, and the apparition is enough to make the scientists in the muggle want to break their heads over.

"I really look forward to the future." Draco was fascinated by the magic that he will learn in the future.

"But now I still have to deal with a little problem." Draco thought: "Apologies again, I have more strength than the little girl."

Of course, Malfoy soon knew that his thought was too hopeful.

"The last thing…" Draco had just said half a sentence when:

With a "pa", the small bag on Pansy's hand was directly dropped onto Draco's desk. Her shy look had disappeared since the disappearance of their father's without a trace. Instead, it was replaced with a cold look.

"You can open it now." Pansy's tone was a little provocative.

Malfoy still didn't react to what happened. But he still did it, he opened the bag.

"Damn." Draco felt that he was still underestimating the degree of vengeance of women, even though Pansy is still only a loli.

"I think the officials of the Ministry of Magic would be happy to see the evidence. There are still many people who are dissatisfied with your father's offense." Pansy's face showed a smirk.

"Secrets of the Dark Arts, Uncle Lucius's hobby is really admirable." Pansy pointed to a photo. The photo had the title page of a book with the name Lucius.

As for the other photos, he took apart the label made by Lucius. The densely packed letters were shocking, and you can see the lines and circles that are especially drawn boldly.

People always fear the unknown, but if it is true, it was still easy to accept. The previous Pansy was afraid of dark magic, but it was certain that Lucius was not so scared after the study, but instead interested. It is also a good thing to use to threaten Draco.

"The book must have been taken away from the Dark Chamber." Draco felt like he was a big idiot.

In a sense, children are really hard to fight. Adults understand the trade-offs and exchange of interests. For example, Hector knows that Lucius studies dark magic, and at most he will remind him with two sentences, but Pansy is different. Who knows if she will really report to the Ministry of Magic.

Looking at Draco's somewhat stiff expression, Pansy said smugly: "It seems that the camera of muggle is still very useful."

"Say, what do you want to do." Draco's expression quickly returned to normal.

The thinking of an adult soul is very fast. Thinking carefully, how many Death Eaters escaped the sanctions with similar reasons such as the Imperius Curse? Lucius's own network of relationships must be very deep. Maybe a lot of people at that time have already known it, but for the sake of looking good at that's all. Moreover, Lucius's money isn't clean. The evidence of this degree was not a big deal.

Retreat 10,000 steps, even if Pansy really handed it in, it will advance the original Ministry of Magic assault check.

Pansy, who looked at Draco's stiff look, was satisfied, but now Draco's calm performance made her feel very uncomfortable. She imagined that Draco should be scared out of his wits and plead for forgiveness. The result was the opposite.

"Hey, nerdy, look at your book." Seeing Draco's usual expression, Pansy suddenly felt that it didn't mean anything. She wanted to see the shame of Draco's submission, instead of his poker face.

In fact, we can't underestimate the IQ of children. For Pansy who lives in a big family, she understands the seriousness of the consequences. Usually, you can be awkward, but if you are willful in this kind of thing, you might make family enemies. Although her father is still moderately powerful, it would still be difficult to escape from such a situation, Pansy also saw Hector's rare angry side today.

Originally she only wanted to scare Draco as last revenge. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Pansy wasn't really enthusiastic about it. So Pansy was in a bad mood.

"pa." The sound came, Pansy stepped on the floor and walked over to the desk, found a chair, and sat down, licking her lips and wondered what he was thinking.

"It seems that this good feeling has fallen to a negative number." Draco naturally couldn't think of Pansy's psychological activities. Of course, he also knew that he must have offended the little loli.

"I don't think much about it." After seeing Pansy sit down he didn't have to worry anymore. Malfoy was happy and so Malfoy began to study the Luck potion again.

"Right, there is a "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" in the fourth row of the third row of bookshelves. If you are bored, you can flip it yourself." Malfoy gave a hard time reading and also gave Pansy a suggestion to pass the time.

"Who wants to see the kind of book that's for a child."

Not to mention that it was safe, Malfoy reminded that Pansy was loudly shouted like a kitten.

"Well, I stepped on a minefield again.�� Malfoy felt that he was lamenting more than he had in the previous 8 years. "I still read this book for Dumbledore. Dumbledore doesn't know what to expect if he hears your evaluation."

"It seems that today's time is gone again." Malfoy helpless shook his head and thoughtless of it.

"Well, Miss, what do you say?" Malfoy closed the book that he hadn't looked deep into.

"Humph." Pansy turned her head and stopped talking.

"I have to make a big sacrifice. Let's be a cultural communicator today." Malfoy couldn't help but think of some of the things that his seniors did.

"In the distant Eastern countries, such a story happened a long time ago…" Malfoy suddenly spoke up and began his identity as a copy.

"There was a Chinese person named Liang Shanbo…" The story is the well-known Liang Zhu of the Chinese people and is known as the Romeo and Juliet of the East.

"It seems to have some meaning." Pansy sitting in the chair was also a bit curious. "I will listen to it." Thus Pansy hardly interrupted Draco.

Many Westerners still have a longing for the mysterious kingdom of the East, so Pansy chose to continue listening when her curiosity was overwhelming.

Not much time.

"What is the beauty of the mountain?"

"Which Ma Wen is a kind of appearance, who knows that he has a bad belly like you. He's a bad guy."

"This image seems to be irreparable." Listening to Pansy's evaluation of the story Draco didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"In the end, the two became butterflies, and they stayed together forever." Draco took a long sigh of relief and felt that he had returned to his childhood when he was a child. His eyelids were a little moist, and as a somewhat emotional person, even if the story is repeated from his own mouth, Draco he still felt some emotion.

"I don't believe that this story is not enough. Now I estimate that Pansy's eyes are red." Malfoy who was confident in the traditional cultural story of his country thought.

"Is it finished?" Pansy asked.

"It's over."

"Oh." Pansy snorted.

"This reaction is not right, aren't young girls the most eager to love such stories and feel sad?" Hearing Pansy's sneer Draco could not help but feel depressed.

Seeing Draco's depressed look, Pansy couldn't help but reveal a happy expression, and then explained: "Although I hate you, I have to say that your story is good, I just laughed at you as a tragedy." "

Draco felt that his mind could not keep up with this little loli.

"Poor you, you read so many books, you really learned to be a fool." Pansy once again taunted. "Obviously Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai are probably Animagus. These are just a play that is directed by a more reasonable elopement. If you read so many books, don't you even know the animagus transformation?"

"That World and this World are not the same," Draco said so in his heart and that he couldn't keep up with this little loli.

"But it's really interesting. As a reward, I will let you continue telling a story."

"Miss, you are addicted." Draco secretly cursed.

"But I don't believe that I can't move a little girl." Draco was provoked, and Pansy was touched.

"It must be that Ruth is too fat, otherwise maybe both can be saved." This is Pansy's spit on the Titan Nick.

Draco almost vomited blood.

Draco, whose self-confidence was seriously harmed, had to change the subject.

"This girl named Hua Mulan is very powerful. Father always tells me that I can't do this. How can a girl have to keep so many rules? I have to use the opportunity to make him tell me a story." It made Pansy somewhat satisfied.

"hu." Draco breathed a sigh of relief. "he almost lost the face." Draco thought to himself.

"But your performance, if the male child was killed early." Draco's heart had a bellyful of anger. It must be said that women have disadvantages in some aspects, but in other aspects, they also receive a lot of preferential treatment.

"I don't care about you when you look at the stories you are telling."

"That's a great honor, my Lady." Draco thought that finally solved a problem.

"But let's talk more about this later." Pansy staring at Draco, as if she had found a new toy.

"Okay." Draco quickly agreed with Pansy's request, but not for her.

"I still can't forget my hometown, it's worth it. This is a way he recalls it." As he told the story, Draco also recalled his past, perhaps these stories in his brain are the only ones about his hometown.

"Hey, Malfoy, what are you doing?" Pansy reached out and waved in front of Draco's eyes. Pulling him back from the memory to reality.

"Sorry."

"Is it so boring to tell this young Lady a story?" Although she didn't want to admit it, because of these stories, Pansy's perception of Draco was much better, so her tone is much better now.

"It seems that you get along very well, Pansy didn't bother you?" It seemed that this time the problem had been handled perfectly, and Hector and Lucius are back a lot earlier than expected.

"Father! I wasn't any trouble." Pansy said while playfully pouting, apparently she had switched back to lady mode.

"It's okay Uncle, I am also very happy to have someone accompany me." Draco naturally responded politely.

"It's too late, so let's have dinner here," Lucius said.

"No, it's not that late. I still have something to deal with. I will come back again tomorrow." Although the matter was solved to Perfection, there were still some hand-tails waiting for Hector to process, so Hector refused Lucius.

Lucius was also very clear about this, so after saying a few more words, he and Draco sent the Pansy father and daughter duo out of the house. Pansy still peeked at Draco before leaving.

Which Draco interpreted as "I will return!"
