【HP】Elvira’s Unicorn Garden

During the summer vacation, Malfoy Manor rarely became lively during non-banquet hours.

The reason is probably that several pure-blood teenagers received letters signed "Grindelwald" but with addresses from Malfoy Manor.

But at the same time, it wasn't just those pure-blood teenagers who came to visit Malfoy Manor.

"Why are you standing at the door?" Orion, who came with the Black family head, walked towards Edgar who was standing at the door with some curiosity, "Where are Uncle Nott and your cousin."

"Perhaps you should briefly explain the question. Which one do you want me to answer?" Edgar gave up the doubts that were plaguing his mind and entered the reception hall of the Malfoy family, but his goal was not here.

The reception hall is a place that belongs to the head of the family, or the person who talks about the family. Heirs of the family or younger people like him should go to the second floor.

That is their social place.

As for Orion, he didn't want to respond directly to him yet. To be more precise, he didn't want people around him to have access to his personal affairs.

"I have talked with Bounte, and your engagement with 'Aurelia' will be finalized during this summer vacation." The night before leaving to visit Malfoy Manor, his father called him to the study to 'discuss' with him With his engagement to the 'Macmillan Family'.

‘Boente MacMillan’, now the head of the MacMillan family, and his wife have a son and two daughters. The eldest son is enrolled in the Slytherin House of Hogwarts and officially enters the third grade after the summer vacation.

The youngest daughter is only seven years old now.

The second daughter, 'Orillia Macmillan', is only eleven this year. After this summer, she will become a freshman at Hogwarts and will become a Slytherin as expected.

And 'Aurillia MacMillan', the second daughter of the MacMillan family, a girl she had met several times before but had not been able to exchange a few words with at banquets, is now the girl the family has chosen for 'Edgar Nott'. 'Fiancée' under.

"I think it's too early, father." He should obey the family's wishes. It is a supreme honor to sacrifice his life for the family. He should obey the family's wishes like Letoria. The 'mission' given.

However, his blurted out 'obedience' turned into 'resistance'.

It's just that for a child born in such a family, his resistance is minimal.

"Orillia will enter school this year, and you will have a lot of time together." His father did not scold him for 'disobeying' the family's wishes. He still just sat at the desk and calmly read a book.

It was as if what they were talking about that day was not the marriage contract that the two families were about to make, but that his child's life was about to be tied to another strange child.

It's like telling whether you should bring an umbrella due to the weather the next day.

"This is what you should do, Edgar." His father put the book on the table and looked at him, "Your mother and I made the decision when we were seven years old."

"But you don't love her." His emotions were indeed out of control at that time. "You only married her because your family made a marriage contract for you, and just because you needed to give birth to a child for the family."

At that time, he had forgotten what 'calmness' meant. He just wanted to seek an answer from the father in front of him.

He hoped that his father would give him a family curse to punish him, just like any training that went wrong in the past, so that he could calm down.

But his father still just looked at him calmly, that look...

It was like looking at a stranger with the same blood as myself.

"This is the mission that I, and you, need to bear." He couldn't see clearly what was contained in his father's eyes, nor could he clearly hear the meaning contained in his father's words. "Of course, the family is cultivating future generations for the sake of their future generations." To sacrifice for our own glory is what we should do.”

"'Love' is the thing we need least. It must be given up. Only by giving up what you expect, desire, and love can you truly be focused on nothing."

"The family needs to continue. This is your honor. The family will remember your efforts."

The father calmly spoke these words that made his whole body shiver.

"It's time for you to rest. We should go visit the Malfoys tomorrow." His father continued to look at the documents in his hand, his voice calm, "You can think about it for one night."

He spent a night forcing himself to accept the 'honor' bestowed upon him by his family. Before leaving the next morning, he said this to his father -

He said, "I do."

Between himself and his family, he spent a whole night forcing himself to make a choice.

He chose his family and gave up himself.

He could not abandon the family that raised him, could not betray it, and truly resist it.

"You can compromise, or you can choose to change it." There were still things in his father's expression that he couldn't see clearly, "It's all up to you."

But all potential is based on ‘strength’.

When a family can be so powerful that it has its own 'vassals' like Grindelwald or Malfoy, there is no need to marry off descendants to establish the family's reputation and status.

At least now he has no way or the ability to change it.

After arriving at Malfoy Manor, he vaguely saw the 'fiancée' who would most likely spend his life with him at the door.

No one knows what the young man from the Nott family was thinking. Perhaps at that moment he put himself in his father's place, and put his so unfamiliar fiancée in his mother's place. Equal position.

Perhaps he was wondering whether he would become a 'father' in the future, and whether he and his 'fiancée' would be like his father and mother today.

The father and mother looked like strangers who were forced to marry because of their family mission. Even the children they gave birth to were just to reproduce for the family.

Or maybe he was just standing there in a daze.

The lady of the MacMillan family had obviously noticed him, and he could tell that his 'fiancée' wanted to come to him to talk about something, maybe it was about the engagement.

Maybe the young lady was thinking about going against the marriage contract set by her family for them together, or maybe she just wanted to come to him to vent her 'temper'.

Who knows, all this is just his guess.

Fortunately, Orion's arrival happened to temporarily "save him from the fire", so that he didn't have to face her directly. At this time, he could escape for a while.

Escape is not a wise choice, but it can make him mentally prepared.

Of course, it would be best if Miss MacMillan could directly explain to him how to give up the engagement when she was looking for him alone. It would be best if she could explain some of the reasons why she was dissatisfied with him.

It's a pity that he obeyed the family's wishes, and she also obeyed the family's wishes.

When Edgar went to the second floor, he saw Letoria hesitating at the door, not daring to go in. Somehow, he thought of 'Letoria Greengrass' and 'Selena Shafik' engagement between.

Letoria and Miss Shafik can be considered childhood sweethearts, just like Abraxas and Avila, but they are different from the latter.

He should not compare Abraxas and Avila. In this era, there are not many people who can be like Abraxas and Avila.

There are not many people in the living room on the second floor, but if you look around carefully, you can see that they are all people you know.

Needless to say, Abraxas, as the host, represents Rudolph of the Lestrange family, Letoria of the Greengrass family, and Orion of the Black family.

The heir to the Gunter family was not present, and Rawlis seemed to be absent again.

The female relatives include Miss MacMillan and the young lady of the Shacklebolt family. These two will also enter Hogwarts as freshmen after the summer vacation this year.

The two sisters of the Black family, Walburga Black and Lucretia Black, the engagement between the former and Orion has not been finalized, but it is only a matter of time.

The young lady from the Shafiq family is also there. No wonder Letoriya hesitated at the door for so long and didn't dare to go in. The marriage between Miss Shafiq and Letoria was agreed upon earlier, and it was decided when they were in the first grade. .

It was just that after the engagement was agreed upon, the two had a lot of friction and conflicts.

What surprised him most was that Elvira, who was suspected of temporarily living in Malfoy Manor, was absent from such an occasion.

Or maybe they guessed wrong and the letter was simply sent to Malfoy Manor and then posted by Malfoy.

"Vivian is not feeling well and will have to come down later." After explaining the matter to the house elf, Abraxas answered Edgar's doubts that he was about to ask, and this answer was also direct. Sexually speaking to the purebloods present.

The man they had been curious about now indeed lived in Malfoy Manor.

Those who didn't know were filled with doubts and worries. Orillia and Lilias glanced at each other quietly but didn't say anything.

This question is not something they can ask now. It has to be brought up by those close to Miss Grindelwald. Then they can follow the topic and continue to learn about that person.

As for the insiders, after learning the answer, they all began to understand certain things tacitly, and invariably began to worry about the girl who was absent due to special reasons.

Fortunately, the waiting time was not long. The house elf appeared next to Abraxas and whispered something to him in his ear. The blond boy stood up.

Abraxas nodded to the 'allies' in the lobby on the second floor and said, "Sorry, please wait a moment."

He then quickened his pace slightly and walked towards the stairs. Those who knew about it understood, but those who didn't knew were confused. They followed the young man's figure and looked towards the stairs.

Until they saw——
