Chapter 23 Train 1
Draco, holding Landric's hand, bid farewell to the three elders.
Tana Rozier, despite her doting love for her child, couldn't bear to part with Landric, and her eyes reddened slightly. This was the first time Landric had been away from her for so long.
Landric, feeling helpless, reached out his hands to Tana Rozier, asking for a hug.
Landric stared intently at Tana Rozier, a cold and serious expression on her beautiful, delicate face. In response, Tana Rozier burst into laughter through her tears and hugged Landric.
Narcissa was also a little envious and glanced at Draco.
Draco had just recovered from the shock of Landric's beauty when he saw Narcissa's gaze.
Draco: ...Okay then (ﾉ_ _)ﾉ, he understands.
He reached out and hugged Narcissa, who smiled contentedly. Then, her longing gaze fell on Landric.
Landric: ...Here I am.
Lucius: ...There's actually another person here.
Lucius, unable to bear the sight of this heartwarming yet utterly unpleasant scene that didn't include him, declared: "You should get in the car."
One sentence drew two disapproving glances.
Tana and Narcissa: Little Rand and Little Draco finally took the initiative, and you spoil the mood!
Lucius, who is fierce and assertive in front of others but meek and submissive in front of his wife: ...Fine, fine, there's no place for me anymore, is there?
Landric looked at the three adults in front of him, then at the pocket watch in his hand, and then tugged at Draco's sleeve. Draco immediately understood.
Draco: "Dad, Mom, Aunt Tana, it's time for me and Rand to get in the car."
Lucius: "Go ahead. If you're unhappy at school, you can write to me. After all, the Malfoy family's position on the school board is still somewhat useful."
This one sentence laid the foundation for Draco's future behavior of turning to his father whenever he was in doubt or unhappy.
Landric: "Then goodbye, Mother, Godfather, Godmother."
Narcissa and Tana: "Goodbye, babies."
……
Draco pulled Landric onto the train, and they walked forward without stopping, passing through carriage after carriage.
Landric had no questions; he knew the Malfoy family had their own private carriages, something Narcissa had told them on the way there.
Landric didn't expect that there were already people waiting in the carriage: five people, a girl with shoulder-length short hair, a boy with chocolate skin and almond-shaped eyes, a gloomy and somewhat indifferent pale boy, and two tall and chubby boys.
After clearly seeing the physical characteristics of the group, Landric could roughly guess their identities. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be Pansy Parkinson, Blaise Zabini, Theodore Nott, Crabbe, and Gore.
As the heir to the Rozier family, understanding other family members is an essential lesson for Landric, in order to prevent misunderstandings arising from poor judgment of people from harming other interests.
However, it was clear that some of the other party recognized Landric's identity. After all, there was no one else but Landric who could be dragged along by the young master Draco, and whose appearance was so captivating that it contradicted Draco's aloof temperament yet was enough to drive people crazy. He was already involved in family affairs at a young age and could be praised by the old fox in the family.
Theodore Nott glanced at Landric and immediately sensed a familiar feeling about him.
My kind, you cold-blooded people.
Theodore smirked and spoke first: "Draco, you've arrived. And who is this?"
It must be said that Draco is always exceptionally sensitive and possessive when it comes to topics concerning Landric.
As soon as Theodore spoke, Draco noticed something was off: Theodore was usually very quiet and aloof, so why did he speak first when Landric arrived?
Draco subtly shielded Landric from view: "Landrico Rozier, my parents' godson, my brother."
Once Draco introduced them, everyone understood. This was the young master's beloved brother Rand! No wonder Draco was always thinking about him. Who doesn't like a beautiful and powerful person? They always manage to win the love of others easily.
After Draco introduced him, Landric extended his hand and spoke, "Hello, Landric Rozier, it's a pleasure to meet you all."
The atmosphere in the carriage began to liven up, guided by Brace and indulged by Landric.
Until Pansy brought up another topic…
(I'll update when the urge comes on the 15th. Actually, I don't really want to type _(:з」∠)_, but since the urge has come, I have to get to work, right?)
