17- The Malfoy family? I remember they liked ‘doing it’ with muggles
For a moment, the only sounds in the carriage were the sound of ice cream tasting and the roar of the train.
After all three portions of ice cream were swept away, Rhys conjured up a pile of puffs, puddings, and cream cakes.
Hermione & Daphne: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ, ◝(๑꒪່౪̮꒪່๑)◜
How many desserts did you bring?! Which dessert shop did you rob?!!!
At this, Rhys smiled a little sheepishly: the desserts of this era were so good that he simply couldn't resist their temptation.
Chefs a thousand years ago could only use honey and lead sugar for flavoring, and the types of sweets were much more monotonous than modern ones. Any kind of modern dessert would have been a dimensionality reduction attack a thousand years ago. It's no wonder that Rhys is addicted to all kinds of desserts and can't extricate himself.
Although it is said that eating too much sweets will lead to dental disease and body weight, how can any little girl resist the temptation of sweet desserts? So after a while, everyone in the carriage had an extra dessert in their hands.
"Did you know that the Boy-Who-Lived is coming to Hogwarts this year?"
When tasting dessert, if there is no chat to accompany it, the taste of the dessert will be greatly reduced. Daphne knew this well, so she took the initiative to stir up the conversation and open up the topic.
"Oh, it's that Harry Potter! He has been mentioned in many books!" Hermione took stock of the books that mentioned the name "Harry Potter" and had been read by her.
Just as the conversation among several people was gradually getting more exciting, there was a knock on the door of the carriage.
After opening the door, a round-faced boy with red eyes stood timidly outside the door and said in a crying tone: "I'm sorry, I want to ask, have any of you seen my toad? "
Daphne and Hermione shook their heads at the same time. Hermione stood up from the stool and said that she could accompany the round-faced boy to find his toad.
toad?
Rhys raised his head and glanced at the round-faced boy. He learned from the Hogwarts admission letter that Hogwarts now has strict restrictions on the pets that students can bring to school. Choose one among, Owl, toad, and cat. Maybe they were scared by those students who kept magical animals like fire dragons, hippogriffs, and acromantula as pets?
However, even in that era when there were no taboos, there were very few students who chose toads as pets.
This thing is ugly, the slimy look on it makes people feel sick, and it doesn't have the magic of other magical animals - it's not as functional as an owl, and it's far less cute than a cat. If students can choose between an owl and a cat, why would they choose a toad?
However, toads have an advantage that the other two pets do not have: drug resistance. Many potion masters will raise a toad to test their new medicines. The mucus secreted by the toad itself is also a common raw material for magic potions. Depending on the feeding ingredients, the mucus will also show different effects.
So potion masters really love toads.
Maybe he's a boy who loves Potions? With this thought in mind, Rhys took out his wand.
The fact that he loves Potions is a plus here, so he is willing to help the round-faced boy.
"Ok, no need to search for it. Here!"
An ugly toad flew out of nowhere towards Rhys. Even though he was very aware of the benefits of toads, there was still a flash of disgust in Rhys's eyes when he saw the toad flying towards him blankly.
He tapped his wand, and the fat and big toad fell into the boy's hand relatively steadily.
"Now put it away and don't lose it again." Looking at the chubby and energetic toad, Rhys praised him: "This toad is really well raised."
"Thank you!" The boy's eyes widened, he held the fat toad in his hands and left with great gratitude.
After the round-faced boy left, Daphne curled her lips, showing a trace of disdain.
"I know that guy. His name is Neville Longbottom. He's not very smart."
"Longbottom?"
Another familiar last name.
"That's right, that guy is actually a pure blood. It's hard to believe..." After Daphne finished saying this, she added after some thought: "But it's normal. Not many pure-blood wizards these days have normal minds."
This sounds like a map cannon, but soon some "well-meaning people" jumped out to support Daphne's remarks.
Not long after Neville left, a boy with light blond hair, accompanied by two other tall and sturdy little chubby boys, passed by Rhys's box talking and laughing.
Their voices were quite loud, and their conversation could be vaguely heard through the box door.
"The Boy Who Lived is on the train too?"
"Yes, I met him in Diagon Alley before. He was ordinary, but he actually hung out with that Hagrid. Did you know? It's that Rubeus Hagrid... eh?"
The voice stopped outside the box where the three of them were staying. The next moment, the door of the box was opened.
"Daphne, you are actually here? Do you want to come with me to see the savior of the magical world?"
"Not interested." Daphne rejected him flatly.
She actually wanted to see the legendary Harry Potter, but she didn't want to go with these three people.
But Malfoy's suggestion is good. She will hear Rhys's tone later. If he is interested, then she can go to find Potter with him.
"Okay," Malfoy said angrily, having hit a soft spot. He turned his attention to Rhys and Hermione, who were in the same carriage, "Who are these two?"
"Hermione Jean Granger."
"Rhys Chasala Lint."
Two unfamiliar last names.
Seeing that they were not from a pure-blood family, Malfoy didn't even bother to say hello to these two people.
He did not conceal the look of contempt in his eyes, and said condescendingly to Daphne: "For the sake of the family friendship between the two families, I will give you a piece of advice: avoid dealing with bad people, so as to avoid the Greengrass family's downfall in the future to the extent of families like Weasley and Longbottom."
"Shut up, Draco Malfoy! Get out of here, your voice makes me sick to my stomach!" An angry flush flashed across Daphne's face.
Although they didn't get along for long, Daphne already regarded Rhys and Hermione as her friends as she has been shamelessly eating sweets with them for a long time. She couldn't accept Malfoy humiliating her friends in front of her.
She screamed at Malfoy with the worst words she could think of.
"Malfoy?" Rhys heard a last name he was familiar with.
However, unlike the Greengrass family, the reason why he was so impressed by the Malfoy family was that the ancestors of the Malfoy family once hired him as a witness at their wedding.
As for the marriage partner, it may be a bit embarrassing to say it. She was a wealthy French lady and a Muggle.
"That's right!" Seeing that Rhys seemed to have heard of the reputation of the Malfoy family, Draco immediately started to tremble with excitement, "Since you have heard of the family name 'Malfoy', then you must not be a Mudblood."
"Are you referring to the Malfoy family who used to marry Muggle nobles in the ancient times?"
Malfoy: "? ! !"
