Chapter 97: My father's going to 'hear' about this
"... Alright, let me try. Do you have... a white board marker on you?"
"What?"
"No, nothing. It's a joke. You wouldn't understand." Don't know why I even bothered making that one. No one would ever know about my circumstances, so I can't have a laugh on this kind of inside joke with anyone.
Thinking this I suddenly remembered Dora. She's the one who knows the most about me, but I haven't can't even share this withih her.
'And now I'm missing her again.' I sighed.
I took out a diary and letter from my pocket.
We had been talking regularly for the two month. She already knew that I possibly had a family in France since I had shared it with her when Dumbledore had told me. So when she found out that I actually found my family, she was very happy me.
This letter came a few days after our separation.
[The enchantment blocking others from reading it are removed this time XD]
Dear Chris,
Um... about my goodbye letter which I left in your room before leaving, please don't take it seriously. I was actually zonked on firewhiskey at that time, so I don't remember what I wrote.
( 'Oh really? She hadn't drunk a drop of it.... I would've tasted it on her lips otherwise....' I had obscenely laughed at that one. She was completely sober and she did everything {even kissing a twelve y/o} in sound mind, without any external influences.)
Anyways. HUGE CONGRATULATIONS on finding your family!!!
I'm so happy for you~ It always used to break my heart whenever I used to think about how you must have lived alone up untill now. As I've written in the letter I left with you, I had 'ordered' you to stay with my parents if you don't find your family in France.
No wait! I-I don't remember much of what I wrote in that letter! ....Just a few things.
Anyway, just remember, what the case, you still have a family in Britain.
I really hope that your family membets are good people and you get along with them. If they aren't just tell me! I'll have Moody handle them. Even if his combat skills have gone low after his retirement, he's still one heluva scary old bloke.
On my side, my hellish train has started. Right now, we're adventuring in the wilderness of Amazon. Did you know there's a magical community hidden in the middle of it?! They have a unique way of doing magic. I'm gonna visit all kinds of places and then bring you with me the next time. I always end up thinking'If Chris were here, he'd do this, he'd do that, he'd make jokes on this one....' In short, I'm... missing you, a lot. ...Are you missing me? Maybe not, you've got a family now afterall.
Anyways, write to me a lot. And I hope you be happy with your family; You deserve it ; )
Love
Dora

That's just the first and last letter exchanged between us. That girl, I don't know what she was thinking, but she didn't open the bag I had given her until the time she sent this letter. In that bag, I had put a put a secure way of communication between us. Me, who has come from the era of online texting can't make do letters.
So, I bought a nice pair of diaries and linked them with Protean Charm. Nothing complicated. It's a spell that makes the objects linked. If one is changes, the other would change automatically as well. The I added some privacy charms along with a Notification charm. She had opened the bag only the next day and we were talking regularly after that.
With the invention of things like these the owl market gonna sink soon. But I'm not doing business in the wizarding world anyway. Just investing in the business of big companies of muggle world and letting them earn money for me is going to make me into the richest man in the world.
Even now, my hunters are buying all the shares they can of all the companies that I've ordered them to.
The thing is, when you get the taste of magic, the taste of true power, the feeling when you activate the Super Trigger, money and political power become secondary goals in life.
Simple Explanation:
-> You wanna a curse someone bad, but don't want everyone knowing that it was you. Generally, whenever you cast a spell, unless the surrounding people and the target are blind, they'd know that you're the culprit, since your wand tends to glow. So, instead if you just approach the target, activate the trigger, just accidentally bump into him, and cast these dark spells, and walk away... know one will know you did it. The spell would take effect after sometime, so you won't be the primary suspect....Useful shit, isn't it?
While I was reading, Tracy was happily playing with Nyxie while Daphne was trying and failing to read a book, since her eyes were straying towards Nyxie from time to time.
After thinking things through, I stood up. "Take care of Nyxie for a while. I'm going to meet my friends."
Nyxie can't just disillusion now that people have seen her. I don't want to show people any of Nyxie's abilities. That's why I brought her in the bag instead of bringing her in disillusionment. In case people wonder how I brought her unseen when they see her at Hogwarts.
Leaving her here would be good for now. I don't need to worry about the girls trying anything funny since their characters are not bad. And even if they tried something, I only need to worry about their safety, not Nyxie's.
With that, I stepped out the compartment and came face to face with Malfoy.
'The hell is with that timing?'
I closed the door behind me and locked it to 'occupied' so that the little shit doesn't see who's inside. The curtains were completely drawn.
"Oh, so you're here. I've been looking for you, Martin." said Malfoy superciliously, his two everpresent goons still present on either side of him. Do they even accompany him to the toilet? I can just make out the picture of him sitting in one cubicle, doing his business while the two fat lackeys sitting in the cubicles on either side of him.
"THPPTPHTPHPHHPH!"
There's suddenly a booming sound that reverberates throughout the toilet.
And then he says, 'Idiot! Don't fart so loudly next time! Otherwise, my father's going to hear about this!'
XXXD
My mind came up with that too suddenly and I could barely hold back my laughter, though my lips still twitched upwards before I used my occlumency. Oh man, what am I doing in this world? My place is in the comedic world...
Seeing me smile, Malfoy took it as if I was happy to see him. Puffing out his chest, he said, "You must already know who I am. I'm here to congratulate on your results last year and express my gratitude for beating that mudblood to the first place. Though, you must have been really annoyed when Dumbledore so unfairly gave the house cup to the Griffindors. Since you come from such distinguished pure blood family, I've come to extend my friendship friendship to you." He said, offering his hand.
I looked down at his hand, then looked at him.
Damn, this felt a scene from WWE.... Do I shake hands, or do I give him my finisher?
I slowly extended my hand towards his...
As my hand reached his, it didn't stop and continued further. It went into his robe pocket. I took out a piece of parchment from his pocket. After opening it, you could read the same words that the boy had spoken clearly written on the parchment.
"Tell me Draco, Who wrote it? Your father?" I asked casually while going through the parchment. "Oh, you forgot to say this line mentioning the French Ancestry of your family. And... oh, our families are also distantly related. Well, good to know." He quickly snatched the parchment before I could read any more of it.
"Draco," I patted his shoulder, "Come back again, when you have something to say that's not come from your father."
With that, I walked past him to meet my friends.
