In the 'rich' district of the floating city, Draco and Pency, along with the three children, Emily, Gabrielle, and Laura, were visiting their new neighbors for a traditional trick-or-treating game.
Emily was holding a basket that had been enchanted with a Traceless Stretching Spell. Since she was also bringing along Helena, she had to get a candy for the ghost who could not be exposed to outsiders. She knew that her niece would at most try a few of the candies, and the rest would be hers. Although the new neighbors thought that Emily's reason for getting candy for the ghost was nonsense, none of them would refuse a cute little girl who was just a little greedy, not to mention that her surname was Harris.
Behind the children were Gore and Crabbe. Although they were seventeen years old and were considered adults in the wizarding world, they followed closely behind with big baskets. When the little girls took the lead and asked for candies, they would take the opportunity to get a few as well.
The last to follow behind the children were Malfoy and his wife. They were chatting with the guards to get closer to each other. After all, they felt that their safety would be in the hands of these people in the future.
With his parents by his side, Draco, who felt that he had a backer, showed excitement and some of his long-lost arrogance. He kept on making sarcastic remarks to Pency about the surrounding houses that were not decorated elegantly enough. He only turned his head when he heard no response from Gore and Crabbe.
The two big guys were greedily staring at the open-air food carts on both sides of the street that were opened by the newcomers who wanted to take advantage of Halloween to make a fortune. Their greedy looks made their faces look even stupider than usual.
"To be honest, if you two continue to be so slow, you'll have to go back to where you came from," Draco threatened a little bitterly. "Oh, what is it this time?"
"Sorry, Draco." After Crabbe and Gore happily apologized out of habit, they happily pointed to a small sweet pumpkin cake stall and showed it to Draco. Gore grinned at the side.
"Gregory and Vincent are hungry again. I'll go get them some …" Draco shouted at his parents and Emily. Then he complained to Pency beside him, "Pency, maybe we should build a small house for these two near the boathouse. After graduation, we can let these two idiots who can't find a job to look after the boats for us."
"As long as you've made up your mind. I doubt that any company would be arrogant enough to support these two idiots … But I think it's best to stay away from the main house …" Pency had heard some news from Lucius. Although she was worried that she could not get in touch with her father, she was very happy when she heard Draco asking her opinion on Malfoy's new house..
Draco raised the corner of his mouth and smiled crookedly. Then he began to take out his wallet and walked to a small food stall on the side.
Although Lucius was worried about what he was about to do, he was also very happy to officially join Harris.
He raised his head and said confidently.
"Little Gore, if you satisfy Draco … I can consider getting your father out of prison … The current situation is very suitable, right?
And … "He tapped Crabbe's fat shoulder with the cane in his hand.
"If your father gets in touch with you, let me know immediately.
He can also come back to accompany you … This idiot runs too fast … "
This made the two big men who were about to follow Draco's footsteps overjoyed and want to thank him.
"Stop for a moment, boys.
It's better to let us go back and talk about these things … You guys go first, "Narcissa whispered.
Compared to the children who were full of joy, Narcissa's mood was very heavy and fearful.
Lucius had clearly betrayed The Dark Lord, and The Dark Lord's revenge might come at any time, even if she herself had not really joined the Death Eaters.
But Narcissa, who had experienced the first war up close?
In the face of her son's smile, she felt an uncontrollable fear of The Dark Lord's revenge. Even if she knew that the Malfoy's new backer, Allen, was far stronger and more powerful than The Dark Lord, she did not know to what extent the other party would be willing to do for the Malfoy who had little value in fact. Not to mention, the last task that the other party had arranged for her husband was to tear apart the Malfoy Family and the distant relatives in England.
"Lucius?
I still think you shouldn't come out … If they see you coming back now … and walking so close to them … they will guess … "Narcissa whispered nervously. She tightly held the arm of her husband who she had not seen for a long time, and her face was very pale.
She seemed to be glowing in the night, and her long blond hair draped over her back.
It made her look like a drowning person. "I don't know what happened to Bella …"
"Principal Harris entrusted his sister to us to take care of?
Is this a great trust?
It's the Malfoy's honor … "Lucius patted his wife's hand gently and comforted her.
"Nothing happened to her just now, she'll be fine … And that's why we need to accompany her …" Lucius pointed with his cane at the girls who were happily checking the candy in the basket not far away. "This way, if possible, we can better plead for her in the future …"
Narcissa nodded and squeezed out a smile. "We probably have to cast a Forgetting Spell on Bella … Otherwise, she won't betray us …"
At this moment, several figures, along with their parents, rushed over from the opposite direction of Lucius and the others with panicked expressions on their faces.
"Astoria! Dad and I both told you not to go there! I told you! "
"Daphne … I just want to thank you … Oh, it's you … Happy Halloween …"
Malfoy and the others just noticed that it was the Gringlass family. At this time, the two sisters were using their wands to levitate their father, Paul. He seemed to have fainted.
"What are you guys …" Emily asked as she hurriedly put the candy into the basket before looking up again.
"You better not go to the Gringers' house! It's Hermione Gringers' house … It's the house of Gryffindor's know-it-all. " Daphne was incoherent. Her face was twisted in fear as she warned Emily's group, who were known to be very close to Hermione. "My dad fainted! Don't go to them for candy! "
"Uh, calm down, Daphne." Astoria's voice was gentle, but her expression showed that she was still afraid. However, she was not as agitated as her sister. She could still notice the relationship between Emily and Hermione. She was a little embarrassed about her father's condition. "Principal Harris cured my illness, so I thought maybe we should say hello to Miss Gringers … But … Miss Gringers is a very serious person … Her understanding of Halloween is … different from ours."
"Serious? She treats this competition as seriously as she treats her exams … "Daphne was still a little agitated. However, she finally realized the relationship between the person in front of her and Gringers." Emily, you still have Gabrielle with you. It's better if you don't go there … Gringers dug a well at the entrance … My father fell into it and fainted after looking into the eyes of a female ghost … "
"Daphne!" Astoria raised her gentle voice. She was a little embarrassed that her father fainted, so she bowed slightly and said, "Please forgive us … We have to send my father to the hospital …"
"Huh? Fall into a coffin?! " The little French mixed-blood succubus exclaimed. She could not help but drop the basket in her hand.
"Huh? Face to face with a female ghost?! " Helena, who had been floating with her hands crossed in front of her, was so frightened that she floated a little higher.
However, the Green Meadow family was not in the mood to answer their questions. The two sisters hurriedly strengthened the levitation spell and carried their father away.
Gabrielle was indeed frightened by the situation. She looked at Emily pitifully. Helena also lowered herself a little and let a part of her enter the soil so that she was at the same level as Emily.
The female specter maintained her ladylike voice, but there was obvious panic in her voice. "Gu … Emily, perhaps we can go around to Mr. Grindelwald's house and attend the banquet first?"
Narcissa could not help but take a few more glances at the former female spectre of Ravenclaw and the current spectre of Hogwarts. She secretly raised her expectations of how close Ravenclaw and Harris were to Rona Ravenclaw. This also made her agree with her husband's decision to join Harris. She was also relieved. Due to the issue of their daughter's blood curse, the Gringelas family no longer went against Harris. Naturally, they were no longer welcomed by the pureblood families. Furthermore, Paul Gringelas was so useless that he had fainted and did not see them. This made her even more relieved.
"Helena … Aren't you the one who lent the female ghost in the well to her? The one called Blair that was taken from your female ghost choir … I guarantee that Hermione's side is not like the ones from Autumn Zhang's hometown … "Emily was a little embarrassed by her niece's words. She pretended to be an adult and touched Gabrielle's head." I will protect you. Hermione won't really hurt you, little cutie. "
Laura saw Emily's attitude, so she echoed, "Miss Granger said that she hoped that we must go. She said that she would give us some candy to protect our teeth."
However, when she heard the name Granger again, her many years of pure-blooded habits made her not want the children to go to the house of that mud-blooded witch. Moreover, Lucius had an unpleasant encounter with Granger's parents in his early years. She was worried that Hermione's parents would use their relationship with Allen Harris to do something even more unpleasant to the Malfoy family. If that were to happen, there was no doubt that the purpose of the Malfoy family today to please Harris would hurt themselves.
Narcissa secretly pondered and sorted out the information in her heart. Among the several candidates for witches, she immediately thought of Luna Lovegood, whom Lucius had mentioned when he came back in the afternoon. Narcissa recalled the information she had learned from her son Draco. She knew that this strange girl, nicknamed Crazy Girl, seemed to have a closer relationship with Headmaster Harris. What made her, a witch from the Blake family, feel more at ease was that although the Lovegood family was a little strange, there was no doubt that they were pure-blooded.
Therefore, Narcissa organized some words and whispered in a tone that was far gentler than when she was talking to Galkrabb, "Emily, why don't we go to the house of your brother's friend, Luna? If Mr. Lovegood's house is so interesting … Maybe we should go and have a look first? Maybe his house will be decorated very well tonight, and it will be more suitable for Gabrielle and the others? "
