Chapter 2 Part 2 : Pansy Parkinson.
Note : This is part two of yesterday’s chapter. Yesterday’s raw was incomplete and I didn’t realise it. So the chapter was only published half. Today when I crosschecked with another site, I noticed the anomaly. So part 2 of chapter 2.
Another thing is: I have taken liberties in changing few sentences to make it sound more Western and flow simpler. But I hope the basic essence has remained the same.
Still silence.
After a while.
“Are you dumb? Give me a reply or I will complain to Uncle Lucius! “ Pansy cried.
But the secret room was still silent.
This went on for a long time until she once again spoke.
“Malfoy? I won’t call you a squib. Are you still there? Just say it! “ This time her tone was weaker.
The scary thing about darkness was not just absence of light and fear of unknown, it was the sense loneliness it brought with it
After a period in darkness and no response, Pansy started to get anxious. She started fidgeting. Her fear and loneliness continued to increase, and slowly piece by piece it started breaking down her facade. Through her words, it could be seen that her attitude was softening.
Coupled with the fact, that she had hear rumours about how Lucius was besotted with Dark Magic, her feelings became more and more unstable. After all, not all pure blooded wizards loved Black Magic. Even pure blooded family’s like The Parkinson’s just admired the pure blood theory and their attitude towards black magic was similar to that from ordinary wizards. That was fear and distaste.
Even adult wizards feared Black Magic, forget a eight year old girl.
“Forget it. It’s boring to bully a little girl. “ seeing this, thought Draco.
“I remember that there was a complete wand nearby. “ and very soon he found one. Moving towards the bookshelf he picked up the wand.
“Sure enough, I can’t see girls being wronged. “, Draco thought briefly before waving his wand and chanting the spell.
“Lumos!”
The dark chamber was immediately brightly lit.
Under such intense stimuli, Pansy was shocked and she looked up to see the light source.
Opposite her, Draco saw her eyes were red and there were tears in her eyes. If not for her self esteem, Pansy wouldn’t have been able to retain her tears.
“This is probably not going to end here. “ thought Malfoy. Seeing this he regretted his decision.
“Don’t blame for this. You called me a Squib so many times, I was just paying you for that. “he hurriedly clarified. The education he had received was deeply etched in his mind. A man making a girl crush wasn’t a matter of pride. But he couldn’t just step down now.
After Pansy heard this, she said nothing. He said nothing. Silence reigned the room. There was no sound except for that of weak breathing. Despite being lit the room wasn’t any less gloomy than it was in darkness. Under the , the dark shadows casted by them stood still, motionless, as if time had come to a stop in this room.
But with the opening of door, the awkward silence was also broken. Both of them looked at the opening door.
Lucius walked in quickly, followed by Hector. The two hurriedly glanced through the room, and suddenly Hector’s face became ugly.
A lonely man and woman, both in the same room, the woman’s eyed were red and covered with tears as if she had been crying. If the two of them were even a little older, Hector would have directly given Draco the Killing Curse- although he didn’t. But even so, seeing his baby daughter’s frightened look, Hector needed an explanation. So he looked at Lucius expecting him to deal to with this.
“How are you and Pansy here?”, Lucius asked in harsh tone directly. Although he knew Draco wouldn’t do any thing to tarnish the Malfoy Family’s reputation. But the current situation clearly showed that Pansy had suffered, so he couldn’t just cover up this. And Hector was also expecting an answer, so he had to go through the necessary routines.
“I… “, Draco was preparing to explain, but Pansy interrupted him.
“I accidentally came in. Malfoy followed in to protect me. When I was scared, he used Lumos to dispel the darkness. Uncle Lucius, Father, I mad you worry. “, Pansy hastily explained. Her slightly red eyes and pitiful expression, along with the soft whispering tone, made her look like a world under little witch.
Hearing this, Hector’s face eased up a lot and he asked, “ Did you thank him?”
“Thank you, Draco. I was wrong. I was obviously so rude to you. But you were still patient with me. “, Pansy thanked him and she couldn’t help but bury her face like a shy deer.
Seeing this, Draco’s mouth twitched. His intuition told him that this wasn’t the end. But he still replied, “ Don’t worry. I couldn’t properly entertain you. Sorry.” He turned his head to Hector and apologized, “Uncle Hector, I am sorry. I did not take care of Pansy. “
Hector folded his hands and replied, “ Don’t worry. It’s not your fault. In fact I have to say thanks to you. “ He turned back and looked at Pansy, “ Go and pack you bag. See, how much trouble you have caused.”
“It’s getting late. We should also leave Lucius. “, after some more small talk he bid farewell to Lucius. “ But old man, I want to say one more thing. Next time I meet you, I don’t want to see you in Azkaban. Deal with those things as soon as possible. Pure blooded wizards are already less, and it would be bad if you go in too.“ Although Hector didn’t have too much interest in Black Magic, he still was the Head of an Ancient Family. So he obviously had some inkling about the item sin that chamber and their use. So he advised to Lucius.
“ Naturally, Naturally! “, Lucius said with a laugh, and changed the topic.
Afterwards, Lucius and Draco saw Pansy and her father all the way to the door.
“That’s it, Lucius. “ Hector stopped.
“Today was really unexpected. “, Lucius apologized once again.
“It is not necessary to say these kinds of things between us. It might have actually turned my little princess for good. Maybe I should thank you instead. “said Hector, and looked down at Pansy, “Is it right my Princess? “
“Yes.” Pansy said in a small voice, then once again looked down at the ground and stopped talking.
The two elder were very happy, so Draco naturally wouldn’t say anything. But looking at the seemingly docile Pansy, he felt an inexplicable sense of fear.
“Oh, I didn’t pay attention to the time. We have already stood here for so long. It’s getting too late. I should be leaving. “, complained Hector and looked up at the darkening sky.
“Haha, I will not stop you anymore. “said Lucius gracefully.
Hearing this Draco was relieved. You have to know that his daily schedule was strictly planned. Spell Study and theoretical studies naturally couldn’t be dropped. Today’s visitation was completely unplanned and had caused him to waste a lot of time. “It seems that I will need to study overtime today.” Since there is determination, Draco naturally demands from himself the highest standards. He couldn’t have the slightest of slack.
Just as Malfoy was planning tonight’s study program, an accident happened!
Pansy suddenly broke free from Hector’s hand and ran towards Draco. Draco who was busy in his own world didn’t realize this. He only saw Pansy standing in front of him. She quitely said, “Thank you. “ Then she kissed Draco’s forehead.
“What the hell is this?!? “ Draco didn’t had any time to react and only felt the warm touch of the Loli’s lips. He was immediately stunned! “Is this Loli a ‘M’? Or is she trying to teach me a lesson?“
Everything happened lightning fast. The two adults could only stand stunned and stare at the scene.
“It seems your kid is going to wrest my princess away. “ Hector reacted first and joked. “It’s very good for you.”
“You are joking. The little child doesn’t understands anything “ But Lucius’s gloomy face still showed a little smile. He was feeling proud of his child’s charm.
“After the kiss, Pansy’s face was also covered with a shy blush. She immediately ran back to Hector and buried her face in his cloak, with a shy look. But if anyone could observe closely, they will find a sinister smirk on her face, like a sly little fox.
“Father, let’s go! “ Pansy pooled her father’s arm and shouted, as if she was still shy about what happened and couldn’t help but rush away.
“Fine. Lucius, our family’s Pansy is urging me to leave. But since she’s so interested in Draco, we will meet again soon.”
“Haha, you are always welcomed.”, responded Lucius with a smile.
In this way, Draco finally finished the one-day hospitality event. After sending away The Parkinson’s, he finally could relax and proceed with his plan!
