The next morning, Malfoy continued to study in his study as usual. Tian Lai Xiao
"explain
After three "dong dong dong" knocks on the door came the old butler's voice: "Master, the Parkinson family members are here, and the master asked you to go out and meet."
"Okay, I'll be right there," Malfoy replied.
Malfoy slowly closed the book and came to the living room. From a distance, he saw two figures, one tall and one short. They probably belonged to the Parkinson family who visited today.
"Hector, it's been a long time, you're still the same." Lucius had a rare smile on his face, but no one knew how sincere this smile was.
"Yeah, long time no see, Lucius." Hector also gave a symbolic courtesy.
"Little Draco, come here." Lucius waved to Malfoy, "This is your Uncle Hector, one of my best friends back then, and it's the same now."
"Hello, Uncle Hector." Malfoy bowed slightly, greeted him politely, and then fell silent.
"I heard you are a squib?" A crisp voice came suddenly. Needless to ask, the owner of the voice was naturally his so-called official spouse—Parkinson Pansy.
"The character is predictably bad." Malfoy thought silently in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Pansy. The chestnut hair was short and scattered between the ears, and the slightly messy bangs covered most of her forehead. , with a gothic black pleated dress, and a haughty look, people have to think of a word—princess, but in the Parkinson family, Pansy is also very much loved, so it is also a little princess Not too much. But the harsh words naturally broke this noble temperament.
"Pansy! Is this the etiquette I taught you in the past?" Hector's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately reprimanded Pansy. "Apologize to Uncle Lucius and Master Malfoy."
"Hmph." Pan Xi turned her head away and said nothing.
"Children are not sensible, Hector, you don't have to be angry, Malfoy, go and show Pansy around the manor, your uncle and I have something to discuss." Lucius seemed to have not heard the words just said Some insulting words from the family.
"Okay, father." Malfoy nodded slightly.
"Pansy, go and hang out with Malfoy, and remember to apologize."
"I don't want to go with a squib," Pansy whispered to himself.
"Pansy!" Hector's tone became more serious.
"This beautiful lady, please." Malfoy bowed slightly, performing a gentleman's etiquette. "I think our father must have important matters to discuss, we'd better not disturb them now."
"What a gentleman, and his etiquette is impeccable." Hector couldn't help but praise, "Lucius, your education is really successful, unlike Pansy in our family, who was spoiled and lawless since childhood, what do you say?" Dare to say it."
Lucius chuckled lightly and said, "Children's words are free, children's speeches are free, it's good to be lively, children, just let them get along for a while." The voice just finished. Then he turned to Malfoy and said, "I believe you will get along well. Treat Pansy well. Your uncle and I have gone upstairs first. We haven't seen each other for a while, so it's time to catch up." After finishing speaking, he talked to Heck Duo went upstairs together and disappeared at the end of the stairs.
The scene after that was silent. It's like being cast under a curse. But the silence was finally broken by Malfoy. "I think even if you don't like me, just standing here should be more boring than simply being with me. Maybe you can find something you are interested in in this manor?" As an adult There is no need to argue with a little girl, so it was Malfoy who broke the deadlock first.
It seemed that it was boring to just stand like this, Pan Xi reluctantly nodded: "Then I will let you be my tour guide mercifully." Under the helpless expression, there was also a trace of expectation. After all, the Malfoy family is also one of the ancient wizard families. Maybe something interesting will happen in the mysterious manor.
"It's an honor," Malfoy replied.
"Little girls are really difficult to coax." Malfoy, who was single in his previous life, couldn't help but slander.
The two walked slowly in the corridor. The expensive lamps in the corridor emitted a gentle light, illuminating the lines on the gray and black walls due to the erosion of the ages. Every time they walked a distance, they could see the A painting of a long-lost celebrity, or a portrait of an ancestor of the Malfoy family.
Because the internal structure of Malfoy Manor is very complicated, the layout of various corridors is twists and turns, and there are many forks, people who are not very familiar with them will easily get lost, so Malfoy emphasized to Pansy: "Remember to follow me closely, don't Lost."
"You have said this sentence three times, are you annoying, little Squib." Pan Xi was impatient. "Didn't you tell me to take me to see something interesting, where is it? Don't tell me it's just these broken paintings in the corridor." The winding corridors had already made Pansy lose patience. complained to Malfoy.
"The authors of these paintings and the ancestors of the Malfoy family will weep if they hear your words." Malfoy couldn't help thinking when he heard this. "What a difficult little girl to serve, how should I coax her?" Malfoy thought as he walked.
"This room is very special." Suddenly came such a sentence from behind.
Hearing that Malfoy turned his head suddenly, looking through the dim light, he saw Pansy standing in front of a stone door with some strange symbols engraved on the stone door, exuding a gloomy atmosphere.
"There is something wrong with this room." Malfoy's mind immediately flashed a book about the introduction of black magic that he had read, and there were many symbols on it that were spells of ancient magic.
"Pansy, don't go in!" Malfoy hurriedly shouted to Pansy, but it was too late, and Pansy, who was full of curiosity, pushed open the door and walked in. Strange to say, the seemingly heavy stone door was actually An eight-year-old girl opened it with a push. Then something even more abnormal happened, the stone door gradually began to close by itself. But Pan Xi, who was looking at the room inside the stone gate, didn't notice.
"Sigh." Malfoy shook his head, and rushed into the door before it closed.
With a creaking sound, the stone door slammed shut. Before, the room could get some light with the help of the lamps outside the door, and it disappeared. Pan Xi, who was carefully observing the secret room, could not help but come back to his senses.
"It's a good thing it's not a forbidden place." After rushing through the door, Malfoy immediately glanced at the room with the help of the dim light. Looking at some of the magic materials and the broken wand, and relying on his rich knowledge, Malfoy immediately figured out where it was.
"With this kind of security measures, two people can break in. Father, you dare to study black magic with peace of mind? Are you afraid of when people from the Ministry of Magic will suddenly attack?" Only relying on the clues at the scene, the knowledge in his head and his understanding of With Lucius' understanding, Malfoy quickly came to the conclusion that this secret room was not any other place, but Lucius's usual laboratory for researching black magic.
Malfoy groaned. But now is not the time to worry about these, how to get out is the key. "I don't know if this young lady is scared." Malfoy started to have a headache again. If it wasn't for this oil bottle, it would be fine for me to stay in this dark secret room. Although I haven't started to study any advanced black magic yet, I can still do it with just a fluorescent flash. In addition to some books in this secret room to keep time, there is no big problem in staying for a day. But now it is different.
Pansy seemed to have finally come to her senses, she couldn't see her expression in the dark, but if there was a light, Malfoy could see that the slightly trembling body still betrayed the fact that she was afraid.
Pan Xi said calmly: "Where is this place in your house? It's so gloomy that you don't even have a single lamp. Didn't you say that the Malfoy family is famous for being rich? Could it be that they can't even afford lamps? Miss Ben's There is no place like this at home." Although she was afraid, the attribute of her poisonous tongue remained unchanged.
Malfoy didn't answer in the dark.
Because he decided to teach this little loli a little lesson.
"You're just saying something, aren't you frightened?" Pansy continued.
