Chapter 57 Sister-in-Law
"The decorative pattern on this robe is very beautiful. It should suit you well..."
"I do not like!"
Daphne looked coldly and glared at Lu Yunkai, who was a little embarrassed.
Astoria, who was following behind the two of them, covered her mouth and smiled without saying a word.
After leaving Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, the three of them first went to Slugjigs Pharmacy to buy all the potion ingredients, and then went to buy the wizard robes that the second graders would wear.
This was the first time that Lu Yunkai walked into Madam Malkin's robe store.
Lu Yunkai has always felt that he lacks aesthetic appreciation for clothes, so compared to this gorgeous and expensive store with various embroideries and decorations on the robes, he still prefers the second-hand robe store not far away. Cheaper, and easier to find some plain, no-frills robes.
"I think this young gentleman is right." Mrs. Malkin, who was watching the quarrel between Lu Yunkai and Daphne with a smile, nodded, "And there happens to be a bell flower embroidered on it."
As he spoke, he pointed to the flowers embroidered with gold and silver threads on the green collar of the robe.
It matches the bell flower hairpin on Daphne's head, and it also happens to be the color of Slytherin House.
"...I like that one." Daphne pointed to a robe next to her that also had a green collar and a cat embroidered with silver thread.
In fact, Lu Yunkai also liked that one better. Because the embroidered cat reminds him of Chrissy who doesn't know what to do in Knockturn Alley now.
Well, you can’t think so! If the shabby cat hadn't written to Daphne in his own name, why would he be so embarrassed! !
But in fact, even if Chris hadn't written to Daphne, wouldn't this girl have come to him when she came to Diagon Alley to buy things?
It feels unlikely...
"Well, please allow me to help you measure the size." Mrs. Malkin made no comment on Daphne's choice and just nodded.
"Then I'll wait for you outside."
Lu Yunkai felt that it was a bit inappropriate for him to watch people taking measurements, so he complained and ran outside the store.
But to his surprise, Astoria actually followed him.
"Why did you come out too?" Lu Yunkai asked curiously, "Didn't your sister just say that she would also buy you a set?"
"There's something I want to tell you." Astoria's tone became very cold, losing the liveliness and cuteness she had just now. "You'd better stay away from my sister."
"..."
Lu Yunkai was stunned.
Is this the same girl who just wanted to marry her sister on the spot?
"Our Greengrass family is also a big family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. My brother-in-law must be at least as good as Master Malfoy. You are not worthy of my sister."
"Oh." Lu Yunkai nodded.
"You can go now." Astoria pointed to the distance, "Go and join your Gryffindor friends."
"That's fine."
Lu Yun smiled and turned around to leave without saying anything to Astoria.
Astoria, who was speaking arrogantly, was stunned.
It's just that Lu Yun drove away a few steps.
"Wait a minute!!" Astoria's voice sounded again.
Then Lu Yunkai felt his clothes being grabbed.
"What's wrong, Miss Greengrass?" Lu Yunkai still had a smile on his face and looked at the girl with an unhealthy pale face.
"You will leave if I tell you to leave??"
"What else?" Lu Yunkai still smiled, "I'm not used to making people uncomfortable."
"Hmph! A Muggle, somehow, got stuck on my sister, and instead he pretended to be here..."
"Oh." Lu Yunkai did not refute such words.
Sure enough, in the eyes of some blood-first wizards, even if he has an adoptive father who is born in Slytherin, he is still a Mudblood! Fortunately, I made some additional preparations. Lu Yunkai thought of the gold ring soaked in the potion.
"I'm warning you, don't think about lying to my sister in school, or I'll make you look good when I go to Hogwarts next year!" Astoria saw that Lu Yunkai didn't refute, and there was nothing she could do about the words she had prepared in advance. After saying it, I felt a little discouraged. When I said this, I felt inexplicably guilty.
"Then do I want to leave?" Lu Yunkai pointed to the distance and asked Astoria with a smile.
"You..." Astoria was finally confused by Lu Yunkai's unconventional tactics and didn't know what to say.
She felt that she had made sufficient preparations! How to cause trouble and make my sister and this Muggle angry, and then how to make them quarrel, and then drive him away, and then how to say bad things about him next to my sister...
Who knew that she had clearly angered her sister by calling Lu Yunkai brother-in-law just now, but her sister was actually stopped from getting angry after a few words from this bastard.
When she was at home, if she made her sister a little unhappy, she would definitely not be able to get over it for a few days!
If she wasn't afraid of this, she wouldn't have to jump up and down here today!
What did this bastard do to my sister? The more she thought about it, the more scared she felt, so she kept trying to anger him, make him angry, and then argue with her sister...
To be fair, if she was called a Mudblood and was driven away so rudely, she would have cursed her already! This guy can actually laugh? Why is he so thick-skinned!
But how could she know that as a lady of a noble family who usually has no contact with the outside world, what does she know about humiliation? The things that she cares about most, such as bloodline and decency, are worthless to Lu Yunkai.
You let me go? Then I will leave. I want to see how your sister will deal with you after she measures the size of the clothes and finds that her friends have been driven away by you.
You said I am a Muggle? I am! Anyway, no non-Muggle student in this class of Hogwarts has a better magic skill than me. You look down on me, and I look down on you!
As for why this little girl is two-faced, Lu Yunkai is too lazy to think about it.
So, the scene was extremely stiff.
"Daphne is out." Lu Yunkai pointed behind Astoria.
Astoria turned her head quickly and saw her sister, who was as cold as frost, staring at her behind her.
She shuddered.
"What did you do just now?" Daphne asked her sister.
"Nothing... nothing." Astoria forced a smile, "Sis, you've bought everything, let's go eat something? I'm hungry."
"Eat something?"
"...Sis! I didn't say anything! I didn't do anything!!" Astoria looked like she was about to cry, and glanced at Lu Yunkai.
"She told me she was hungry, so I planned to go over there and buy her some food."
Lu Yunkai smiled and continued.
Astoria was stunned.
That's not right! Why don't you tell a snit?
Why don't you tell your sister? Tell me! If you don't tell your sister, how can I say that you are a gossiper in front of your sister!
"Really?" The coldness on Daphne's face thawed a little.
"What else? By the way, it's still early, are you in a hurry to go home?" Lu Yunkai asked directly, looking at Daphne.
"Not in a hurry."
After hearing what Lu Yunkai said, Daphne, who had been cold before, felt embarrassed instantly.
Even a fool could hear that Lu Yunkai wanted to keep her.
"If you're not in a hurry, let's go to the cold drink shop and have an ice cream together?" Lu Yunkai smiled, "I'll treat you."
"This... um." Daphne nodded with a red face.
"Sister, didn't mom say that she would come back after shopping... Ah! Brother-in-law! I want to eat ice cream too!!" Astoria, who was coldly glanced at by Daphne, almost immediately changed her tone.
"Okay! Eat whatever you want!"
Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded.
Don't you like acting? Act! I want to see how much acting skills you can have as a little girl!
Lu Yunkai nodded with a teasing smile in his heart.
...
"So, you just took the initiative to greet Ginny, isn't it because she is beautiful?"
"Last year at King's Cross Station, she and Mrs. Weasley helped Harry and me find platform nine and three-quarters. At that time, Ginny was also very enthusiastic to help, so I acted more friendly with her."
Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded.
In Florin's cold drink shop, three people sat at a small round table with a pile of cold drinks on the table.
Among them, only one cup of soda belonged to Lu Yunkai, and a small bowl of ice cream belonged to Daphne. The rest were ordered by Astoria.
Lu Yunkai understood that this little girl must want to embarrass him because he couldn't pay.
Not to mention, if it was last year when he lived on the money that Chris cheated, this table of nearly 60 gold galleons would really make him feel painful.
But now...
Money is not a problem. The problem now is how to finish the table of things that Astoria ordered despite her sister's warning that "if you can't eat it, don't order so much".
If she doesn't finish it, Daphne will never forgive her.
But if she eats it all, she will probably have a stomachache before she can get home.
And because she has diarrhea after eating too much cold drinks, her "unworldly look" will definitely make her sister angry.
She is really not a human being.
She would rather have a stomachache and pretend to be pitiful in front of her mother than be locked in her room and "trained" alone by her sister after returning home. With this awareness, she was trying hard to eat the food on the table, and she didn't bother to interrupt.
"What misunderstanding could I have! It's just... don't listen to Astoria's nonsense!"
"Yeah. I understand." Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded, "By the way, have you been at home this month?"
"My mother hired a teacher to teach me etiquette, and I basically stayed at home."
"Isn't it boring?"
"It's okay? My manor is quite big, and I don't particularly like crowds, so it's good to walk around the courtyard every day."
"Manor! I envy you for having a manor. When I went to Draco's house before, I walked from his front door to the living room. "I was thinking that if you were bored, you could come to Diagon Alley from time to time... If you didn't, forget it."
"Okay!" Hearing what Lu Yunkai said, Daphne nodded in surprise, and then seemed to remember something, and hurriedly explained: "Well, I mainly want to take advantage of the summer vacation to make up some potions and transfiguration lessons with you, otherwise I'm worried that I won't be able to keep up in the second year."
"Glad to help." Lu Yunkai smiled and glanced at Astoria, who was stuffing chocolate ice cream cake into her mouth with a bitter face, "Are you coming too?"
“…No.” Astoria shook her head with a bitter face, “I won’t disturb you two from talking about love…Ah! Sister! I was wrong!!”
“Hmph!”
Daphne glared at Astoria who was hugging her legs and rubbing them.
“Then it’s settled.” Lu Yunkai pretended not to see this scene and continued to talk to Daphne.
“Okay! And you can also come to my house as a guest! I’ll go back and tell my mother, she was also a student of your adoptive father, and she should be happy to invite you.”
“If it’s inconvenient…”
Before Lu Yunkai finished his words of refusal, the door of the cold drink shop was pushed open, and someone he knew walked into the shop with a smile.
“Oh? Lu Yunkai! Is this your girlfriend?”
“…Good afternoon, Mrs. Zabini.”
Lu Yunkai looked at the woman with a black line on his forehead.
Alas, how could he forget that Zabini’s magic supplies store was next to him!
This woman left the store at this stall and ran here. I’m afraid she will inevitably take the opportunity to make fun of me…
