The Periodic Table of Words and Spirits at Hogwarts

"I think you seemed to have something on your mind at the time, didn't you?"

Zhang Qi closed the door of the compartment with his backhand, and locked Gower and Crabbe, who were bewildered, from the door.

"this"……

Draco swallowed and looked at Zhang Qi with a little panic.

"What? Am I so scary?"

Zhang Qi asked jokingly, then stood up and took off his suitcase.

"Want something to eat?"

Zhang Qi took out a box of macarons and put it on the table, took out one of them, and then pushed the box in front of Draco.

Draco hesitantly raised his trembling hand, took one and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Well, it tastes good."

After eating, Draco looked noticeably less nervous than before.

"Let me guess, it's about Astoria"?

Zhang Qi put away the empty box and asked with a smile.

Draco shuddered when he heard this, but after seeing that Zhang Qi didn't seem angry, he breathed a sigh of relief and said hesitantly:

"I"……

"Did your father ask for your opinion when he engaged you at the time?"

Zhang Qi raised his hand and motioned for Draco not to speak.

"I, my father didn't ask me for advice at the time, just told me about it after the engagement."

Draco replied.

"It's a coincidence that when my mother did this to me, she didn't ask for my opinion."

Zhang Qi shrugged his shoulders, and then said earnestly:

"Draco, do you like Astoria?"

"me"……

Draco blushed and stayed there for a long time, then shook his head a little dejectedly.

"I, I don't know, but my father"...

"Then can I understand that this marriage was a political marriage arranged by your father?"

Zhang Qi asked.

Draco opened his mouth to refute, but couldn't say anything.

"Do you know Draco, originally your grandfather also set a political marriage for your father, but your father was young and frivolous at the time, and finally successfully resisted your grandfather's request, and resolutely chose your mother who was not prominent at the time." .

Zhang Qi looked at Draco's shocked expression, and then said with some emotion:

"But dragon slayers eventually become evil dragons, but as long as they sit in the position of the patriarch, they must take responsibility for the family's revival. Your father's decision at that time was also a last resort."

"Because you have to admit that although the Malfoy family is still among the best, it has begun to decline gradually, and it may be surpassed by other families in a few years."

"And at this time, a political marriage is the best medicine for your family. Cannibalizing the Greengrass family can improve your strength in a short period of time and bring you back to where you were before."

Zhang Qi took out the thermos cup and took a sip of tea, then offered a reward for the lid of the thermos cup and put the cup on the table.

"But have you ever thought about it? Political marriage will almost never have good results. Now, are you willing to trade your happiness for the rest of your life for such an ethereal goal?"

"However, according to your words, I can only continue the existence of the Malfoy family through this."

Draco was stunned for a while, then said hesitantly.

"Do you know what my grandfather said about the nobles in Western Europe?"

Zhang Qi asked.

"You said".

"Most of the nobles in Western Europe have an incomparable heritage, but they are sometimes too pedantic and do not want to accept new things, nor dare to accept new things."

"My family doesn't have much assets in the magic world, but it still ranks at the top. Do you know why?"

Zhang Qi asked slowly.

"Why"?

"Because we have a strong background in the Muggle world, the family has never lived on the income of the magic world, but we have the most profitable business in the world - arms."

"A lot of precious metals obtained in the Muggle world are also hard currency in the magic world, so the Zirol family has never been short of money."

"Why not consider making some achievements in the Muggle world? Don't tell me that because of the secrecy law that exists in name only, few pure-blood nobles will abide by it now."

Zhang Qi said lightly.

"Remember Draco, if you stand on the cusp of the times, even a pig can be blown up by the wind."

"Also, there are some things that you have to hold firmly in your own hands-if you don't want to and have never succumbed to fate."

"But"……

Draco seemed to want to say something, but at this moment there was a very hasty knock on the door.

"Zhang Qi? Are you inside now?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Draco had a cold fight on the spot, Zhang Qi was also stunned, then stood up and opened the door of the box.

"good afternoon"!

Astoria dragged her leather suitcase into the private room, and hugged Zhang Qi unexpectedly.

Draco, who has basically figured it out, doesn't feel particularly angry at this time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He only feels awkward now...

"You two, what were you doing in there just now?"

Astoria asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, just a chat."

Zhang Qi said with a smile.

Astoria carefully looked Draco up and down, and after confirming that the child had no bruises, she dispelled her doubts.

"Don't you think it's because of you that I stuck Draco in the cubicle and beat him up?"

Zhang Qi asked suspiciously.

"Ah, that's probably because you thought too much."

Astoria said without blushing.

"Please, look at the people who have offended me. Except for the idiot gorilla, which one is my hand?"

Zhang Qi said helplessly:

"Besides, I'm good friends with Draco, so I wouldn't do that kind of thing."

"Is that so"?

Astoria still looked at Draco in disbelief.

"Ah, I just want to chat with Zirol."

Draco waved his hand in a panic, then squeezed out of the cubicle, and hurriedly ran into the distance.

"What happened to this child"?

Zhang Qi asked a little strangely, after all, Malfoy is not usually like this.

"During the holiday, Uncle Lucius went to Greengrass Castle once, and we officially broke the magic contract with the family coat of arms."

"But at that time, Draco and I had a little, um, little conflict"...

"I understand, you pressed him to the ground and beat him up"?

Zhang Qi nodded suddenly, no wonder Malfoy was so afraid.
