Harry Potter: Miss Malfoy

Chapter 205: The Memories of the Little Lion Regulus

"What are they arguing about?"

Draco couldn't help but ask his mother directly, and Narcissa sighed helplessly.

"Your Aunt Bellatrix caught Sirius with the lion cub,"

"Playing with the neighbor's kids, throwing a tantrum."

While Narcissa was explaining, Bellatrix was pointing at the two boys and cursing.

In front of her was Sirius, who looked indifferent, and the little lion who didn't dare to cry out loud.

"Slandering the bloodline of the Black family", "a self-depraved traitor", "a self-degrading scum".

Such insults are heard everywhere.

"It's not that serious, sister."

"Isn't it just playing together?"

A girl with fashionable short hair and bangs covering half of her eyes.

Stopped the elder sister who was so angry that her eyes were bleeding.

"Aunt Andromeda?"

Draco asked and Narcissa nodded.

His expression seemed to show that he missed his second sister very much, but was also sad.

"Yeah, how cowardly do you have to be to be afraid of playing with Muggles?"

Sirius continued to provoke Belladonna with words, not caring that his cousin's face was already grim with anger.

"You said I'm a coward? How dare you say I'm a coward?"

Bellatus drew her wand, but Andromeda quickly grasped her hand.

"There's no need for this."

"Get out of here, Andromeda. I'm going to teach him a lesson today."

"Come on, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

The noise continued.

The little girl holding the doll walked to the side.

She squatted down beside the crying boy and took his hand.

The girl's eyebrows were still covered with snowflakes from her fall.

But she just concentrated on using Morgana's doll to gently wipe away the boy's tears.

Then he spoke like a little adult.

"Don't cry, little prince (Regulus) be brave."

Draco found that the surrounding environment was suddenly out of balance.

The voices and figures of Bellatrix, Andromeda, and Sirius gradually became blurred during the argument.

The young mother and the boy gradually become clear.

Suddenly I realized whose memories these belonged to.

"The little lion has been very attached to me since he was little."

"Maybe, it's because we're both the youngest."

Narcissa looked at the memory in front of her quietly, and the emotion in her tone made it difficult for Draco to judge.

"He's a very emotional boy."

"When he's older, I'll be the only one in the family willing to talk to him."

"Perhaps that's why he left his memories to me."

The little lion had stopped crying and was making a snowman with young Narcissa.

Memories began to shake, and Narcissa also took Draco's hand.

"Fifteen years ago, when Kreacher came home seriously injured, he was in a very bad mood."

"While helping him heal, Kreacher kept crying quietly."

Before leaving the little lion's first memory, Narcissa spoke meaningfully.

"After that night, the little lion disappeared."

-

Without Pansy and Daphne's visits and news from Harry, Draco felt that July was extremely long.

Especially, she was always thinking about her father and Severus.

After that first night, my mother took me to the Pensieve again during the last week of July.

I met the little lion in the third grade and Sirius in the fifth grade.

In the corridors of the school, there was a fierce argument over the Dark Lord's position.

Because of memory, we are able to peek into the little lion's mood.

He was torn between the support of his parents and the opposition of his brother.

The little lion originally thought that he was always disliked by his brother because he was too obedient.

When you finally make up your mind to do something big, you will get Sirius's approval.

However, he did not expect that he would only be met with fierce ridicule and sarcasm from his brother.

By then, Narcissa had already graduated, and the little lion had no one to talk to.

I could only tell Kreacher about my conflicted feelings during the holidays.

After this memory, Narcissa said nothing more the rest of the night.

Just ask Draco to get different books on Dark Arts spells from the study and practice more.

At the same time, he promised Draco that he would let him finish reading his cousin's memories before school started.

"Never mind the underage ban. The Ministry can't detect if it's me using magic, or you."

Although Draco knew that his parents and Severus were not opposed to the Dark Arts,

I am even fascinated by the principles of black magic.

But she had never imagined that her mother would suddenly want to actually perform and strengthen such spells herself.

Narcissa was still unwilling to tell Draco that she and Severus had some secret arrangement to protect Draco.

It was only hinted that Draco had to be ready before school started.

And, it all has to do with Professor Dumbledore.

-

In the midst of busyness, I finally made it through July.

Apart from the occasional missing persons news published in the Daily Prophet, the world seemed to be going on as normal.

The Daily Prophet was more concerned about the tragedy of the Triwizard Tournament.

After more than two months of special reports, it has evolved into a review of the Hogwarts school.

More and more experts complained that the headmaster of Hogwarts failed to manage the school properly.

This turned the competition, which should have been a peaceful one, into a mysterious tragedy.

One student died and two adults were missing.

Diggory became a symbol of mourning, and the disappearance of Skeeter and Crouch became a hint of impending disaster.

Fudge actively came forward and said that the Ministry of Magic would further intervene to investigate whether the teacher was suitable for the position.

Lucius was also invited back to serve as chairman of the school board.

Meanwhile, Harry was just a pushy, nervous boy.

For the sake of fame, reports seeking to gain sympathy are becoming more and more frequent.

The frequency of this kind of smear campaign is almost as high as that of articles attacking Dumbledore.

To Draco's surprise, he hadn't seen any trace of the Dark Lord again.

It was as if that night was just a simple nightmare.

But the isolated life in the past month has really reminded me that there are undercurrents lurking.

Father and Severus were missing for the entire month.

It became the most important evidence that reminded Draco all the time that the Dark Lord had returned.

During the rare month alone with my mother, I slowly learned about the past of the Black family.

I finally understood what kind of ideals the Dark Lord had in mind when he recruited my young father and Severus.

It's not just about the supremacy of pure-blood wizards.

More importantly, it is an idea that wizards no longer have to cower in fear and avoid Muggles.
