Chapter 434 A Desperate Future (Part 1)
Scorpius Malfoy was born in Malfoy Manor, just like his ancestors.
This new generation, born just after the Battle of Hogwarts, is the son of Draco Malfoy and Astoria Greengrass. This can be seen just from his appearance... ...Judging from Scorpius' true appearance when he was shown to Yang Yun and others, his facial contours, including hair color and facial features, were basically exactly the same as his father's.
But unlike his elders, the sole heir of the Malfoy family did not receive the kind of "pure-blood supremacy" education. This may be related to the fact that his father once fell into the quagmire of Death Eaters but lost his way in the end. Return has the most direct connection... But even so, rumors still enveloped the child before he grew up.
"There are rumors in the wizarding world that you are Voldemort's son?"
Yang Yun frowned and repeated Scorpius' self-report: "Is it because Voldemort used Malfoy Manor as the base camp for him and the Death Eaters before he invaded Hogwarts?"
"No, it's more than that, because my father was one of the few Death Eaters who was not liquidated after the war. Therefore, those pure-blood family members who lost their heirs will naturally be full of hostility to the Malfoy family."
Even though it had happened in another time and space, there was still deep pain on Scorpius's face: "Rumors say that it is impossible for my parents to have a child. It is also said that my father and grandfather only longed for a powerful offspring. , in order to prevent the Malfoy family from being cut off, they used a time turner to send my mother back to the past, and..."
He didn't say any more, but everyone present could understand how vicious this rumor was for a child.
"The method is very old-fashioned, but with the help of the pure-blood family and the post-war environment at that time, it was really effective."
Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses: "So my guess is correct. Your Disguise Magus comes from Nymphadora Tonks, and in terms of blood relationship, your father Draco- Malfoy is her cousin."
"I first awakened the talent of Metamorphmagus when I was five years old."
Scorpius sighed and took the initiative to talk about his own affairs: "It was the first time my parents took me to Diagon Alley. I didn't know anything at that time. When I was walking in the middle of the street, I looked at the people around me. When I was in the magic shop, a teenage boy suddenly pushed me to the ground from behind, and then called me the child of the Dark Lord, saying that I should not have been born in this world at all, and that my birth was a mistake. "
"They called me names and called me a 'cursed child.' Even though I didn't understand what that meant at the time, I felt their anger and malice."
Everyone knows how terrible it is to encounter the deepest ill intentions of others as a child. Apart from other things, it is very likely that Li Xiaoyi encountered campus bullying, and thus entered the main god space in despair. The malice encountered by Scorpius Malfoy in front of him was even more distant. above.
However, now Scorpius can look directly at his unhappy childhood. He just whispered in a slightly sad tone: "So since I was five years old, I have learned how to disguise myself."
"Magic has the most direct connection with a person's heart and spirit."
Scorpius didn't say what happened next, but everyone knew it wasn't a pleasant experience. Facing his self-narration, Chu Xuan just said without emotion: "The hatred of war will not fade so quickly. As children with immature minds, they are often the ones most affected by hatred. And for those who have relatives in the war For wizards who die at the hands of Death Eaters, most of the time they will just ignore the spread of rumors..."
"Okay, okay, now is not the time for human observation." Listening to Chu Xuan's cold and even cruel comments, Yang Yun quickly coughed lightly, interrupting his inappropriate comments.
As a woman, Zhan Lan glared at this wise man who didn't understand other people's hearts, and said in a slower voice: "But anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is just a baseless rumor, and your appearance is the most intuitive. evidence."
"After all, Voldemort has no nose." Yang Yun added another timeless joke that is also a favorite on the Internet: "I can't see any similarities between you and him."
"...Ha, indeed."
This classic joke finally made Scorpius smile. He adjusted his sitting posture, leaned forward, and clasped his hands tightly: "Fortunately, I have the best parents and my best parents." Good friend."
"My father has always taught me not to pay attention to those rumors. He has never shied away from the wrong path he has taken - I mean those ridiculous years he spent as a Death Eater. He also kept the Dark Mark on his arm as a warning to prevent me from becoming like him and losing myself in unnecessary things. He loved me very much and hid me after that incident. , kept me away from this world of gossip and judgment...until I stepped through the door of Hogwarts."
"My mother...she has never been in good health. Her ancestors were once cursed with blood. This curse will be reflected on her body several generations later. But she has never resented this extremely unfair thing to her. In a fair world, during my childhood, she always comforted me with a smile and poured her best and most love into me.”
"My mother taught me that bloodline is not the most important thing. She told me that she had seen extremely brave Muggle-born wizards and also vicious and despicable pure-bloods. She told me not to hate, but to love, to see more of the beauty of this world, and never to care about the so-called "curse"... because what can determine a person's fate is never an illusory illusion, but one's own actions."
When talking about his parents, Scorpius seemed to have something sparkling in his eyes.
"And my best friend, Albus Severus Potter... You know what? What you just said is exactly the same as what Albus said to comfort me when he first saw me on the Hogwarts Express."
Scorpius turned to Yang Yun, his face showing an expression of great nostalgia: "And he is also the only friend who reached out to me besides my parents."
"... So, this is why you can successfully disguise yourself as Albus Severus Potter through the Metamorphosis Magus."
Combined with what he said to Severus Snape, Yang Yun also understood, so many things have corresponding explanations: "You are good friends who can talk about anything, and he also I did tell you a lot about the past. "
"The name Potter represents many things, and there must be someone who can bear the title of savior."
Scorpius smiled bitterly and said, "This is fate, and it is also the sin I must atone for the mistakes I made."
"Atonement?" Yang Yun repeated Scorpius' words in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"Because everything comes from the wrong idea of two young people wanting to save someone."
Scorpius' face was full of pain that was hard to describe. Malfoy, who bore the name of his best friend, whispered in a sad voice:
"In order to make up for this mistake, I have experienced more than one desperate future."
