Strengthening

After Scorpius was 9 years old, Lucius and Narcissa felt that they had reached the age when their children wanted to make friends. Maybe they saw Scorpius becoming an otaku and started to invite some children of similar age and similar identities to the house. They hoped Scorpius and Draco can find friends before they start school. However, almost all of the children invited to the so-called "identity proximity" come from pure-blood families with similar status to the Malfoy family, such as Theodore Nott of the Nott family, and Pansy Parkinson of the Parkinson family, Millicent Bulstrode of the Bulstrode family, Gregory Goyle of the Goyle family, Vincent Crabbe of the Crabbe family, and so on.

In Scorpius's eyes, this is a group of arrogant, ignorant, and spoiled kids. It's strange that Scorpius can get along with them! What's more, as far as Scorpius knows, more than half of the children here are children of Death Eaters!

Draco was awe-inspiring. With the help of the Malfoy family, he easily subdued Goyle and Crabbe as two followers. Although these two big boys were a bit stupid, their sturdy figures made good bodyguard material. Even Pansy Parkinson, who had a taller eye, seemed to like Draco a little and admired Draco's slightly naive arrogance. To be honest, Pansy at this time has short black hair, big black eyes, a pretty nose, and two small dimples. She looks very cute, but her personality is very bad, except for facing Germany. During Laco and Scorpius, her speech was very acrimonious, and she always laughed at others for pleasure. Goyle and Crabbe privately referred to her as the "little witch".

Theodore Nott was one of the few people who did not lay down on Draco to cater to flattery. The Nott family has a reputation in the British wizarding world and has a lot of industries that make alchemical objects. Like the Bok family, they are the two largest in the British alchemy world. Theodore's talents are not bad, but his personality is a bit stinky, which is unbearable narcissism. But Draco liked him a lot. Draco told Scorpius more than once that he felt Theodore was the only person of his generation worthy of equal contact.

Whenever this group of kids meet, Scorpius will find all kinds of reasons to shirk. If the meeting place is in Malfoy Manor, Scorpius will find the opportunity to sneak out in advance. Draco was indulged in the mutual flattery between several people. He was very keen to participate in various activities in this small circle. Scorpius could often see him hanging out with friends to play and party. Scorpius was invited by them several times, but after being rejected by Scorpius several times, Draco felt that his thoughtful brother didn't seem to particularly like to hang out with his class of friends, so he didn't care. From now on, everyone at the gathering will automatically leave Scorpius. Narcissa was not very happy when she learned about it. She nagged Scorpius several times, but she saw Scorpius's appearance that the oil and salt were not getting in. She knew what she said was probably playing the piano against the cow. Over time, she could only be withdrawn from Scorpius.

However, after Scorpius noticed the strong and tall figures of Crabbe and Goyle, he also began to put exercise on the agenda.

Not being able to learn the spell does not mean that you will not be able to enhance your combat strength.

In the wizarding world of Harry Potter, the battle between wizards, under normal circumstances, depends on the power of the spell, the hit rate of both sides and the dodge rate. After all, only when the target is hit, the curse is effective. Only in a few very rare cases, the battle between wizards will be dragged into a protracted battle due to the closeness of the match, and the total amount of magic power will become the final factor in winning. It can be seen that for combat wizards, physical quality is very important, and only agile wizards can have a great survival rate in a melee.

Without the knowledge of his family, Scorpius began to conduct physical training secretly with Dobby every day in the dead of night. Scorpius wanted to vomit when reading the original book. The little wizards at Hogwarts never participated in any physical training.

As part of the seven-year Hogwarts education system, the only class that can be associated with physical education is the first-grade flight class, which only lasts for a short period of time. It's no wonder that the little wizards can understand so many spells, but their actual combat performance is extremely low. It is likely that in the peaceful age, without the goal of becoming an Auror, little wizards learn more practical spells like housework spells instead of spending a lot of time making their bodies stronger. Scorpius in his previous life was an expert in the field, and he has great accomplishments in long-distance running, climbing, diving, and fighting. Based on the description of the battle between wizards in the original book, he borrowed the training methods of war games in the muggle world, and especially designed a systematic physical training process for dodge rate and hit rate. He asked Dobby to aim at him to release harmless marking spells (when hit by a spell, he would only leave a mark like ink), while he moved around in a small space, practising various dodge skills, and taking one step. Dobby speeds up the casting speed to make dodge more difficult. After practising the dodge skills, Scorpius started to make Dobby use flying spells to create flying paper birds. He used darts to practice aiming. The goal is to practice until he can shoot every paper bird.

During the day, Scorpius also cultivated the habit of reading the Daily Prophet diligently every day and took the initiative to understand the big and small things happening in the magical world. In his spare time, Scorpius remembered in the original book that Bill, the eldest of the Weasley family, seemed to have a pen pal at Castelobruxo School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Brazil. On a whim, he wrote a letter to the editor-in-chief of the newspaper saying that he would like to borrow a small column to publish an international dating revelation under the pen name of "Xiaomi". What Scorpius did not expect was that the newspaper's reply came extremely quickly. Within a few days, he received a reply from the editor of the newspaper. He agreed to promote the exchange of international magic circles for free. Scorpius couldn't help thinking, maybe this is because the newspapers in the peaceful era are also lacking in material.

A few weeks later, Scorpius received several letters from friends and he successfully made several foreign pen pals. Among them, the one who communicated most frequently and most in harmony was a pen pal living in North America and a pen pal far away in Japan. The correspondence exchange also gained a preliminary understanding of the magical world outside the UK. Since then, on weekends every week, Scorpius has had another habit of reading and replying to letters. After his parents knew about this matter, Lucius curled his lips with disdain but declined to comment. In Lucius's eyes, the British magical world is the most powerful and noble wizarding world in the world, and other places are just remote. It's just a backward barbarian land-people who think this way are not few in the British magic world. After all, the inheritance of North American wizards comes from the United Kingdom, and the distant East is recognized as a bit backward in both economics and politics. What Narcissa was considering in her heart was Scorpius's mental health. She often stared at Scorpius with complicated eyes. It is probably the illusion that Scorpius lacks like-minded friends and that caused her loneliness in her heart. She also saw it. After coming out, Scorpius didn't like the small circle of pure-blood descendants, so her heart was full of guilt as a mother. Of course, Scorpius doesn't care much about his parents' opinions.

When Scorpius told his parents that he had read hundreds of books in the family library, even the cold Lucius couldn't help showing a surprised and happy expression. Narcissa proposed to take Scorpius to visit Scorpius's grandmother, Druella Black. Druella visited their home once when Scorpius was very young, and she loved the naturally intelligent Scorpius very much. In fact, Scorpius and Draco were also the only two grandsons she recognized. Scorpius has two aunts. Aunt Bellatrix joined the Death Eaters after she got married and did not give birth to any children, and second aunt Andromeda was removed from the family tree for marrying a muggle.

Druella lived alone in a small house in Wiltshire. When she saw her favourite grandson visiting, her face was full of excitement. She was so happy to hear that Scorpius wanted to stay for a few days. It's incredible. So when Scorpius asked to see the book collection, Druella moved all the books at home in one breath to let Scorpius see it. The collection of books in Druella's family was inherited by her and her dead husband Cygnus Black from their respective families. Druella was originally the daughter of the Rochelle family before she was married, so part of the books in the collection is Black and some of the collections of the family are also part of the collections of the Rosier family, a large part of which was sent to Malfoy Manor with Narcissa's marriage very early.

Then aunt Bellatrix and her husband were arrested after the First Wizarding War and sent to Azkaban, the Wizarding Prison. They were also sentenced to life imprisonment. According to the Wizarding Property Law, they were excluded from the Gringotts vault. The rest of the property must be transferred to Druella's name. This allowed Scorpius to find a bargain. He not only found the classics of the Black family and the Rochelle family in the Druella's collection, but even found some of the Lestrange family's collections. Adding up to more than a hundred copies. Although Druella is old, she is not demented. The books she brought out to Scorpius do not contain any dark magic books. Some of the secret spells of the Black family, the Rochier family, and the Lestrange family, however, are indispensable. Scorpius knew that these were the most precious knowledge of the pure-blood family, and used the time turner every day to greedily absorb all the knowledge he could absorb. After living in her grandmother's house for a month, Scorpius and Narcissa said goodbye to Druella, who was full of grievances on their faces. Druella took the initiative to give all the books to Scorpius and ordered Sasha, the house elf, to deliver the books directly to Scorpius's bedroom in Malfoy Manor.

{ Black's family curse was obtained! Rosier's family curse was obtained! Lestrange's family curse was obtained! }

When Narcissa saw Scorpius's bedroom full of messy books, it was both helpless and funny. She bought a portable bag engraved with a traceless stretching curse. The space inside was like an empty library which let Scorpius store tens of thousands of books. Scorpius liked this gift very much. It made him feel as if he had his private library. He couldn't wait to arrange all the books from Druella's house neatly into the book bag space, only to find he can barely fill up one percent of the bookshelves in the space.
