LRAB Chapter 223: Fun at the Station
Chapter 223: Fun at the Station
The first day of school is coming soon. King's Cross Station is as crowded as ever.
"Why do we have to run and crash our way in?" Pansy shook her head, looking disapprovingly at several students who rudely rushed into the roadblock between the ninth and tenth platforms.
Draco agreed in his heart and glared coldly at a boy who was about third grade.
He had just nearly bumped into Draco as he was trying to follow his friend into Platform 9 3/4.
When the boy realized that he had accidentally offended the famous Slytherin daughter, he couldn't help but shudder and apologized repeatedly with trembling voice.
"Don't be nervous."
While Draco responded coldly and Pansy shook her head and sighed, Daphne bent down and encouraged the girl beside her who looked a little uneasy.
"Just close your eyes and walk slowly and you'll be fine."
The girl was still too young and was being led by a witch. She was looking nervously at her sister who was eager to try in front of the luggage cart next to her mother.
He must be here to see him off with his family.
The little girl's expression gradually relaxed as she listened to Daphne's gentle voice and smile.
"Thank you, beautiful sister."
The little girl spoke in a childish voice. Daphne smiled encouragingly at the girl, stood up, and nodded kindly to the girl's mother.
"Thank you. This child has been easily nervous since he was young."
The witch said, extending her hand to Daphne. "Helen Doyle, nice to meet you."
The peculiar way she pronounced and resonated when she spoke also aroused the interest of Pansy and Draco.
"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Doyle. I'm Daphne Greengrass."
While Daphne was returning the gift, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Excuse my impoliteness, but judging from your accent, are you American?"
"So she's the daughter of the Greengrass family! Then these two are the daughters of the Parkinson family and the Malfoy family?"
Helen said, staring at Draco for a moment before speaking excitedly.
"The photo is beautiful enough, and the person is much prettier than the photo! I felt that Miss Malfoy looked very familiar, but I didn't dare to ask suddenly."
Helen's happiness was a little beyond the three people's expectations, making them nod their heads hurriedly and somewhat embarrassedly.
“Actually, I’m a loyal reader of Witch Weekly.
The tradition of the probationary ball is so fascinating that I have read the issue with Miss Malfoy on the cover at least ten times.
Helen said excitedly, and the little girl pulled her mother's hand awkwardly before stopping.
"Sorry, sorry. I scared you. We are indeed Americans, but my husband was sent to live in the UK ten years ago.
It seems that after ten years, the accent still can't be changed. I don't know what's going on with my husband's family, they keep moving around.
He has a younger brother who went to France earlier."
Daphne, Pansy and Draco maintained etiquette as Helen began to talk about her family history again.
Finally, after the eldest daughter of the Doyle family became impatient and dragged her mother into the platform, they looked at each other and smiled softly.
"You're really very outgoing... You can even talk to a stranger about so many family matters." Pansy was obviously not used to it.
"But because of this, I always feel that you are very kind." Daphne's smile was gentle.
As the three of them talked, they slowly put the luggage cart in front of the roadblock. After making sure that the Muggles around were not paying attention, they stepped lightly onto the platform.
-
"Ah! Don't do that!"
The three of them had just appeared on Platform 9 3/4 when Daphne suddenly screamed.
"You are so gentle, what if I make someone fall in love with you, Sister Daphne!"
Pansy hugged Daphne around the waist from behind.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the usually gentle Daphne seemed a little at a loss.
Draco looked at Pansy's mischievous smile and sighed helplessly.
It seemed that Pansy had wanted to play a prank for a long time, but she was afraid of attracting too much attention from Muggles outside the platform, so she endured it.
"Hurry... let me go..."
Pansy and Daphne's behavior attracted a lot of attention. Daphne could only beg for mercy in a low voice, her eyes constantly calling for help from Draco.
"Pansy, there are too many people watching here." Draco said with a somewhat blaming tone.
Pansy naturally understood.
But Daphne's dignified way of treating the Doyle mother and daughter made her want to play a prank. She stuck out her tongue, let go of Daphne, and glanced around, avoiding the curious and expectant gazes.
Most of them came from male students who were about to get on the bus.
"Astoria hasn't arrived yet?" Daphne, who had finally escaped from the onlookers' sight, anxiously searched for her sister in the crowd.
Just as he finished speaking, a clear and delicate sound of excitement came from behind him.
"Sister! Sister Draco! Pansy!" Astoria ran over skipping.
Behind her, Narcissa was also laughing and chatting with the Greengrass and the Parkinsons.
-
Pansy, Daphne, and Astoria had already gathered around their parents, leaving Narcissa time to talk with Draco and his daughter.
"Is Dad still busy?"
Lucius was still nowhere to be seen, and Draco asked in a somewhat disappointed tone. She was fifteen years old, and had already shaved her head and grown into a graceful young lady, but she still had the attachment of a daughter to her father in her heart.
"He has new tasks to plan, which will require him to spend more time in the Ministry of Magic." Narcissa explained, looking at her daughter reluctantly, with dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Draco understood that his mother's dissatisfaction was not directed at his father.
More likely, it's only to the Dark Lord.
The girls waved their wands as they said goodbye to their parents on the platform and carried their luggage to the carriages. The smoke pipe of the Hogwarts Express began to emit a faint hiss, and Narcissa hurriedly whispered to Draco.
"Don't worry about family matters while you're at school, okay? Remember to follow Severus's arrangements."
Unlike previous farewells, this year there are many more worries that cannot be expressed on the platform.
Draco nodded obediently and held his mother's hand. His palm conveyed the emotion of hoping that she and her father were well.
As Pansy, Daphne and Astoria walked by and boarded the carriage, Draco saw Crabbe and Goyle on the platform. He was somewhat surprised to find that Crabbe and Goyle were both by his son's side. It seemed that Crabbe and Goyle did not receive the order to be unable to attend the farewell like his father.
Seeing that Crabbe and Mr. Goyle were about to come over to greet them, Narcissa hugged her daughter tightly and watched her step into the carriage.
As soon as he stepped onto the first step of the carriage door, Draco was attracted by the noise coming from the platform entrance.
A group of people rushed in in a mess, pushing their messy luggage that had been hastily transported out.
The loud whistle that suddenly came from the front of the car made the group of people even more panicked...
This is the worst day since the official recommendation started on February 2th. I can't even get 16 replies even after asking for updates. I'm doing this for love. You'll understand after reading the thank you post later...
I am still asking for gifts (recently, there are very few people who have sent me power for love, and there are only a few who have sent me power for love among the dozens of people who have asked me to update, and of course, there are also very few people who have asked me to update). I am asking for various free and paid gifts!!! Please send some power for love! (You can send three!) I really beg you, there are no paid ones, but free ones are fine! You can see by comparing the thank you posts in the past two weeks that the free gifts have dropped a lot! Thank you all for your support!
The plan for additional chapters is still the same (it is still for the love of electricity. If the amount reaches 100 yuan within a week, the additional chapter will be given, and each love of electricity author can get 1)
