The final exam results came out, which means that the semester is really coming to an end.
In the Slytherin lounge, the fireplace by the wall had stopped working for a long time, because the summer vacation was coming and the weather was getting hotter. Crabbe and Goyle were lamely complimenting Malfoy because his grades were the first in the whole year, but it was clear that he himself was not being used.
"Crabbe, Goyle, well, you can stop now." Malfoy lowered his hands and made a stop gesture. "This kind of exam is meaningless at all, and you don't have to spend time complimenting me." He paused, then looked at Gore and said, "Your grades should be the result of our Mr. Dean's release. Next time, it won't be so much." Good luck."
Goyle could only submissively say yes, of course the genius knows whether he can understand Malfoy's meaning.
"What's the use of being first, the Academy Cup is gone." Pan Xi said strangely, apparently still brooding over the lost Academy Cup.
"Uh, let's see, even if I get 20 points for being the first one, Dumbledore can still add more to others if he finds any excuse." Malfoy comforted.
"Cunning old man."
"Okay, stop worrying about these things, you should now plan how to enjoy the upcoming vacation." Malfoy chose to change the subject.
"Isn't this something you should consider?" Pansy asked in surprise.
"It's over." Malfoy felt that he seemed to have picked the wrong topic, but he could only say, "Uh... I need to do a lot of practical work this holiday, whether it is magic or life." He shrugged and continued: "You know, my father is always very strict with me. Next school year, I'm going to sponsor some brooms for the team. Maybe I should go to work this vacation to prove something, shouldn't I?" These are of course his Bullshit, but it still makes sense.
"Then we won't be able to see each other for the whole vacation?" Pan Xi was a little shaken, but still asked.
"Of course not. Adults have time to rest, not to mention me as a child laborer?" Malfoy shook his head resolutely and denied it, but he was thinking in his heart: "But I may not give myself a vacation."
"Alright then." Pansy nodded reluctantly. "Remember to bring me a gift." She whispered.
"Of course." Malfoy readily agreed.
The next day, the students all boarded the train home, their luggage had been packed, and a notice was sent to each student, warning them not to use magic during the holiday. Malfoy sat in an ordinary car with others. A great man in the previous life said: "We come from the crowd, and we will return to the crowd." As far as he is concerned, he actually doesn't like being alone very much. , It's better to be more lively on the way home.
The three of the Iron Triangle were just a few places away from them. "You must come to our house this summer vacation," Ron said, "Both of you come—I'll send an owl to invite you."
"Thanks," said Harry, "I do need something to look forward to."
"That family of yours is really too much." Ron looked a little resentful.
"Actually, I'm used to it, and I might have a good time this holiday, no?" said Harry.
"What, have they switched?" Ron asked.
"I really think the logic of our Muggle society is very suitable for you, Ron." Hermione, who had been silent for a long time, said. "Harry, surely you didn't tell them that students can't use magic outside of school?"
"That way your cousin won't dare to bully you, what a brilliant idea." Ron cheered. Then he turned to Hermione and said, "Please relax, our academy is number one." At this moment, he saw Hermione holding a magazine in her hand - "Transfiguration Today". "I really can't imagine you're also studying on the way home, so what about the hairs on that snuffbox? It's not their academy cup for someone to be perfect anyway, is it? Harry." He He turned his head to Harry again.
"Ron, keep your voice down," Harry whispered.
Hermione closed the book and looked up at Ron: "The Academy Cup is a collective honor, and I won't give up what I can achieve individually. We were able to add so many points because of the help of others."
"Okay, the principal, Professor McGonagall, and even that nasty old bat have all helped us, but they are all principals and teachers, so they can't give their college points because of it. Leitlin helped us, haha." Ron realized that he had told a joke, and laughed first.
Hermione's eyes dimmed, she ignored Ron, and continued to look down and start reading.
"Oh, Ron, sometimes I have to say, you can keep your words to a minimum," Harry reminded.
"I think so." Ron covered his mouth, feeling as if he had said something wrong again, but he didn't know where it was wrong.
As for Malfoy, he played cards with Pansy and his friends (sidemen?) to pass the empty travel time. But it doesn't seem very interesting. After all, it shouldn't be interesting to play a game that can always be won. If you gamble, Crabbe and Goyle should have lost even their underwear by now.
"I kind of understand why you've been staying away from the two of them. It's really boring." Pan Xi said while playing a king of hearts, obviously disgusting the two followers.
"I think we can change the game." Malfoy snapped his fingers, and then the cards on the table disappeared, replaced by a pile of small rectangular cubes made of unknown materials.
"What's this?" Pansy asked.
"A game from a mysterious kingdom in the east. I think the rules should be relatively simple." Malfoy said, as for what kind of game it is, everyone should be able to guess.
"It's the East again. It seems that you really like the culture there. Even the stories you used to tell are from there. Now it's changed into such a game." Pansy's tone was a little sour, and Malfoy Keenly sensed the wrongness in her tone.
The following words made him realize that someone was jealous again.
"So you're interested in that Ravenclaw just because she's from the East? Wasn't the last time the hero saved the beauty planned? I know you two must have a lot in common." Pan West continued.
Malfoy could only sigh: "Don't underestimate women's ability to associate." Helplessly, he continued: "Now let's pass the time first, the rule is..."
I have to say that there is a reason why this game has endured in tc for a long time. After a while, even Crabbe and Goyle had a great time playing it, and Pansy's attention was no longer on jealousy, but diverted Arrived on dozens of small long squares.
"Your game is not fun at all." After losing a few games in a row, Pansy puffed up her cheeks.
"They keep losing, you say it's boring, they get lucky, but you don't think it's fun." Malfoy felt a headache.
"So you have to help me in the next game." Pan Xi threatened viciously.
So soon the scene on the table turned into a one-sided massacre.
"I won again!" Pansy pushed down the cards in front of him excitedly, only to find that they suddenly disappeared.
"Dear Pansy, although it may disturb your interest, I want to say that we have arrived." Malfoy patted his hands, diverting everyone's attention to him, and they found out The train has stopped.
"Okay." Pansy pouted, reluctantly accepting this reality, obviously she hadn't recovered from the massacre at the poker table.
"Okay, I'll bring you something more fun next time we meet." Malfoy pampered Pansy's head and said.
"Let go." Panxi hurriedly opened his hand, her face was a little red, and she seemed a little embarrassed. Usually, this kind of intimacy was done when there were no people around, which made her somewhat uncomfortable.
Then Malfoy helped Pansy get out of the car with the luggage. Although he didn't say anything, he still knew that the girl was reluctant to part with him from the way Pansy looked at him. "But I'm really busy this holiday." Malfoy was actually a little tangled in his heart. "Forget it, let's take one step at a time." He said to himself.
After getting out of the car, Malfoy saw Lucius and his wife on the platform. They were also waving to Malfoy, so Malfoy strode towards them.
"Pansy, I haven't seen you grow a lot in a year." Narcissa's attention was obviously on the girl beside Malfoy. "How about it, little Draco didn't bully you at school, right? If he bullies you, tell me, and I'll help you deal with him." Narcissa was very keen on helping his son, and as for Pansy, she was also very satisfied, pure Born in blood, they have friendship with each other's parents, and they seem to be very obedient, don't they.
"He was very nice to me." Pansy said with her head down, blushing.
"Of course, gentlemen are inherited." Lucius added beside him.
"How about it, would you like to come to our house as a guest first, little Pansy?" Narcissa issued her own invitation.
"No, thank you for your invitation, but my father has also come to pick me up." Pansy shook her head, pointing to Hector who was still watching from the other side.
"Then I won't force it, anyway, there should be enough time for the summer vacation." Narcissa did not insist, and then said: "Go, don't make your father wait, if he waits any longer, he might think he is Who abducted my daughter." Narcissa teased her.
Afterwards, Hector and Lucius naturally met again, and after the polite greetings, they returned to their respective homes with their children.
It was another twisted feeling that made people feel dizzy. The Malfoy family walked out of the fireplace, looking at the familiar layout of the home, and the gorgeous carpet under their feet. Malfoy knew that he had arrived home, which also meant his vacation plans has officially started.
"The first task is naturally you." Malfoy gripped a small bottle in his pocket and whispered to himself.
