HP: I’m working on redemption at Hogwarts

Chapter 136 Aunt Narcissa



"Since mom loves you so much, she must have taught you everything! Don't come to me again for such trivial matters as shopping for school!"

Perhaps seeing her father's figure slowly disappearing, Daphne didn't even want to pretend even though her friend was right next to her.

"Daphne, then let's..."

"Let's go!" Before Pansy could finish her hesitant words, Daphne held Pansy's arm without leaving Astoria with a single glance.

As a friend of Daphne and a young lady from a pure-blood family, Pansy could almost tell what was going on.

This sickly young lady doesn't seem to have much respect for her sister or family.

After weighing the pros and cons, Pansy quickly made what she thought was the right choice. She cast an unintentional sidelong glance at Astoria, then turned around and left while holding Daphne's hand.

After parting with Daphne, Astoria felt more relaxed. She is not unfamiliar with Diagon Alley. After all, even as Qiu Chang, she has been there no less than seven or eight times. Without Daphne, she will definitely move more freely.

Where to go first? …

"Astoria!"

Suddenly, there was an exclamation in the distance behind her, and Astoria turned her head subconsciously, only to see a lady with elegant manners and noble temperament walking quickly towards Astoria. The corners of her mouth had a curve of surprise, which seemed inexplicably out of place on her seemingly mean face.

Astoria looked at the lady who walked in front of her and felt familiar for some reason. She smiled and curtsied to the lady with impeccable etiquette.

"Madam, have we met?"

"Of course... of course, I hugged you when you were a child." The lady's expression fell into confusion again, her thoughts seemed to be sucked away by something, and she just stared at Aspen with a nostalgic and inexplicably sad look. Tolia.

"Oh, you forgot to introduce me. I am Narcissa Malfoy... Narcissa Black Malfoy. Your mother's best friend when she was a student!"

The best thing about being a student? What happens after that? Astoria wisely didn't ask...

"Hello Aunt Narcissa!"

Astoria finally remembered why she thought Aunt Narcissa looked familiar. She had seen photos of Aunt Narcissa in her mother's room, but she seemed younger in those photos, wearing Slytherin uniforms and Mother joked.

"Are you here to start shopping for school?" Aunt Narcissa asked.

"Yes, I will go to Hogwarts this year." Astoria nodded obediently, looking at Aunt Narcissa and smiling patiently.

"Oh, yes, it's time for you to go to school. Where is your sister? She hasn't-"

Aunt Narcissa wanted to ask something, and she roughly understood something when she saw Astoria's slightly aggrieved and quiet expression without any complaints.

"Well, maybe I can accompany you to buy some supplies worth buying. After all... this is your first time here, isn't it?" Aunt Narcissa slowly squatted down, reached out and gently touched Astoria in the sunshine. Under the golden hair.

"Thank you, Auntie." Astoria couldn't think of any words of rejection for a moment. Seeing the sincere and gentle look of the person in front of her, Astoria couldn't help but feel a little ripple in her heart.

"Then what should we do first?..." Aunt Narcissa thought for a moment, as if she thought of something interesting, her blue eyes flashed slightly, "How about we go pick out a wand for you first? !”

Hearing the magic wand, Astoria subconsciously shook her head and pulled out a dark wand with some thin patterns from her sleeve.

"This is Teresa's wand!" Aunt Narcissa recognized the wand that belonged to Astoria's mother almost instantly.

"Yes."

"It seems that you have decided on your wand choice. Maybe we can ask Mr. Ollivander to check it for you and make this wand fit you better." Aunt Narcissa stared with some nostalgia. Holding the wand and seeing Astoria nodding in agreement, the two quickly left a certain street in Diagon Alley.

……

"Oh this wand... yes I remember it, fir wood, unicorn tail hair, its owner has always been gentle and firm. Theresa Slughorn, do I remember it correctly?"

Mr. Ollivander's hoarse and deep voice spoke slowly, as if telling a long and lengthy story.

"Yes, you are right. Then can Leah use this wand?" Narcissa didn't have time to listen to what other nonsense Mr. Ollivander seemed to be talking about intermittently, and hurriedly interrupted him.

"Hmm...I think Miss Astoria can answer this question herself."

He was talking about Astoria, not Greengrass. Astoria inadvertently began to guess whether Mr. Ollivander knew something, but she had to say that she liked this title without any family elements.

"I like this wand very much and believe I can take good care of her."

Astoria used her, not it. Aunt Narcissa only thought it was due to her slurred speech caused by her young age. Only Mr. Ollivander knew that the child in front of him truly regarded the wand as a partner in fighting side by side and treated him as a "person" exactly like himself.

After settling the matter with the wand, Narcissa took Astoria to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to buy textbooks for first grade.

"Mother?" A male voice that seemed to be in the process of changing his voice came from the side, and Aunt Narcissa turned around with a gentle and kind smile.

Following Aunt Narcissa's gaze, a boy with light blond hair and wearing a Slytherin school robe came into view.

Where have you seen this person before?

Astoria looked at the boy in front of him. When he saw Astoria's face, he seemed extremely shocked and surprised, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Blonde?!" Draco exclaimed shakily.

"Hey, Draco, where are your manners?" Narcissa was dissatisfied with Draco's unusually ungentlemanly behavior. Her original smile turned cold and she stared at Draco with a frown.

"Ah, sorry!" Draco scratched his head in embarrassment, his eyes always moving to Astoria uncontrollably, looking at this delicate girl with blond hair and blue eyes, a faint blush on his cheeks unconsciously.

Draco didn't expect that the character he thought was a hallucination would actually appear in front of him, and he seemed to have a good relationship with his mother.

"Draco, this is Astoria Greengrass."

"Greengrass?" Draco muttered subconsciously out of doubt in his heart.

"Yes, she is Daphne's sister. Maybe you can take care of her more at school in the future." Narcissa patiently explained and warned Draco.

Draco was confused again. After all, he had never heard from Daphne that there was a second young lady in the Greengrass family. But his etiquette did not allow him to say anything offensive.

"Don't worry, Mom, just leave sister Astoria to me!" Draco nodded solemnly, raising his head proudly as if he had taken on some great task.

"Narcissa..." Lucius also slowly approached. He called Narcissa's name, glanced at Astoria casually, and his expression couldn't help but be stunned.

"Draco, you and Astoria go find books!" Lucius sent his son and Astoria away, as if he wanted to talk to Narcissa about something.

"Okay, Father." Draco agreed quickly, reaching out and taking the initiative to hold Astoria's fleshy little hand. Astoria was a little dazed, looking at Draco blankly, and then followed Draco to the second floor of the bookstore.
