The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

Wiltshire, inside the dining room of Malfoy Manor.

Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy were sitting at the long table with their son Draco Malfoy for a long-awaited formal family dinner.

The scene was extremely lively because Draco was talking endlessly about his experience at Hogwarts.

To be honest, this doesn't quite fit in with the Malfoy family rules.

Although the Malfoy family is not strict enough to require members to eat and sleep silently, it is not acceptable to bark at the dinner table like an ignorant country boy.

But this time, Lucius and Narcissa just listened to Draco's story quietly, with smiles on their faces, without any intention of interrupting.

After all, this was their son's first homecoming in four months.

After so long, they really missed this kind of noise.

The only problem is that Draco did not focus on the famous savior Harry Potter, but kept talking about a roommate named John Shafiq.

Draco gritted his teeth and hated it when he mentioned that John had given him a blow on the night of the sorting ceremony.

Draco gritted his teeth angrily when he talked about how John humiliated him in public during his flying lessons and made him unable to get off the stage.

Draco danced with excitement when he told how John helped him win the midnight duel with Harry and gave Harry a good lesson.

Draco's admiration was palpable when he told how John had exchanged a bunch of Muggle junk for a bunch of magical materials from a stupid centaur.

When talking about John having a barbecue with him in the Forbidden Forest, he was full of praise for the food John made.

And after hearing this, Narcissa finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Is that John Shafiq's food really that delicious?"

Narcissa narrowed her eyes slightly and said pointedly.

Lucius, who was sitting on the main seat, reacted immediately when he saw this. He took a bite of the braised veal in white sauce in front of him and said with enjoyment:

"It's probably because Draco was too hungry at the time, so he thought everything tasted delicious. That's how children are. When it comes to cooking, how could that John Shafiq be your rival? Draco , are you right?"

As he spoke, Lucius winked at Draco again.

Draco understood his father's hint, but did not fully understand it. He stared and said loudly:

"Mom! Did you cook for me yourself today? No wonder today's dishes are so rich and delicious! Especially this crispy onion soup and French-style pan-fried flatfish..."

Draco praised all the dishes on the long table, and finally pointed to the veal stew in white sauce and said, "The only bad thing is this one. I think this must be Dobby's cooking, right?"

Dobby Dobby!Your cooking skills have declined again!You lazy house elf should really put more thought into this! "

Hearing Draco's shout, a skinny, goblin-like dwarf suddenly appeared in the restaurant.

He was holding a rag in his hands, and his two big protruding eyes were scanning his masters in fear, and his long ears were drooping because of fear.

Lucius seemed to be choked and kept coughing.

Narcissa, on the other hand, was so angry that her breathing became heavier.

She did cook by herself today.

But she only cooked veal béchamel.

Draco finally realized something was wrong at this time.

His mouth was slightly open, but he couldn't think of what to say for a long time.

Finally, he got angry and picked up the veal braised in white sauce in front of him and began to eat fiercely, giving a thumbs up while eating.

This scene made Narcissa laugh again.

She sat next to Draco, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the stains on her son's mouth.

Seeing this, Lucius also smiled like an aunt.

He sipped the red wine intoxicatedly, and then continued:

"Listen to what you say, that kid named John Shafiq is really outstanding."

"Of course!"

As soon as he heard the name John Shafik, Draco's eyes lit up, "He is a naturally talented person! Professor Snape also valued him very much and recruited him as his assistant. He was caught every day. He's tinkering with potions in his office! I dare say Harry Potter, the savior, is a scumbag compared to him!"

Lucius agreed:

"Oh! Does Severus think highly of him too? Then he is really outstanding! Draco, how is your relationship with him?"

"Does that need to be said?" Draco raised his head proudly and said, "We are friends, we are our own people!"

Hearing what Draco said, Lucius also became interested, smiled and nodded:

"Yes, you must win over a genius like John Shafiq who comes from a thousand-year-old pure-blood family. Of course, if possible, you also need to have a better relationship with Harry Potter.

Your father and I did a very good job in this area back then.

For example, your Professor Snape.Severus, I still remember what he looked like when he first came to Slytherin.

He is such a slovenly, skinny little kid, and a poor mixed-race. He is annoying to look at.

At that time, many people looked down upon him, and even people from Slytherin would bully him.

But I am different!

I saw his talent and took care of him and loved him.

The results of it?Is he really becoming famous now?

Ha ha ha ha!He will never forget this kindness. In the future..."

Lucius talked more and more energetically, shaking his wine glass and talking non-stop.

This look was exactly the same as when Draco told John Shafik before.

Draco became the audience this time.

He looked at his father with admiration on his face.

Looking at the father and son, Narcissa shook her head helplessly.

These two are good at everything, they just like to brag too much.

In her opinion, the relationship between the Malfoys and Severus Snape was not as good as Lucius said.

Because Lucius's so-called care for Snape back then was, at best, not following the other Slytherins to bully Snape, and adding some extravagant words to Snape's behalf.

As for John Shafiq.

She could feel from Draco's words that this was definitely a boy with natural talents.

The other party is far superior to Draco in terms of IQ and EQ.

There is no doubt about that.

You should know that just by seeing how he can make friends with Draco and Harry Potter.

Rather than saying that Draco was trying to win over John, it would be better to say that Draco was the one who was led by John and won over.

Draco was really no match for John. John probably sold him out, and Draco had to help John count the money.

Narcissa became worried when she thought of this.

She patted Draco on the back and said:

"If you have the chance, invite John to Malfoy Manor as a guest. This way we can also help you find out about him."

Lucius also excitedly slapped the table and echoed.

Hearing this, Draco nodded seriously.
