4 Draco

After Dantalion turned 9 years old, Lucius and Narcissa felt that the age had come for their children to form friendships. maybe they saw their youngest child becoming a little antisocial, which wasn't quite true, they decided to invite some children of the same age and similar family identity to play with them hoping that Dantalion and Draco can find friends before Hogwarts begins, however, all of the children invited to "befriend" come from pure-blood families with similar status as Malfoys, Theodore Nott of the Nott family, Pansy Parkison of the Parkinson's family, Millicent Bulstrode of the Bulstrode family, Gregory Goyle of the Goyles and Vicente Crabbe,

in Dantalian's eyes, this group of children were arrogant and ignorant, very spoiled by their parents, Dantalian inwardly hates them, but contacts are important, so he puts up with them, as far as he knows half the children here are children of death eaters.

Theorore Nott may be the only exception, from conversations he had, the boy was intelligent, he did not seem to agree one hundred percent with his parents' worldview, but in order not to be the black sheep, he pretended, you could say that Nott was a friend of Dantalion, not being able to say however if by affinity, by interest or by a mixture of the two. Draco, who grew up with Dantalion, also had a view that friendships were made by contacts, but unlike the youngest, he still followed the purist doctrine, soon subjugated Crabbe and Goyle, although these big boys were a little stupid, their figures Robust bodies made them very good bodyguards.

Parkinson who had a very tall look, seemed to like Draco and admired the boy's somewhat naive arrogance, to be honest, Pansy who had black hair, brown eyes and dimples, looked cute, but her personality was very bad, except in front of Draco and Dantalion.

Draco knew that because he was the eldest son, and future heir of the family, many of these children came to fawn over him, except for Nott, who had a well-known family in the wizarding world, with alchemical industries and one of the greatest alchemists in Great Britain. .

The Malfoy twins had an excellent relationship, as he had memories of his past life Dantalion knew that Draco liked quadribal and potions, so he always helped, taught and learned together about these subjects. The twins also had deep conversations, even though Draco was not reincarnated, he still had a more mature mind, not only because of the teaching of etiquette and family rules, but also because of the influence of Dantalion, who was gifted from an early age, which caused healthy competition between the twins.

The two had the habit of playing Quidditch every Saturday morning, they made potions on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the afternoon and studied together during the week, Dantalian taught Draco about administration, mathematics and economics, the oldest often had difficulties in apprehending, but with patience the youngest helped him. From a very early age, the two had the understanding that Draco would be the head of the family and Dantalion his right hand and Malfoy's guardian.

Whenever the group of "friends" got together, Dantalion spoke quickly and then with an excuse he left, if the meeting was at Malfoy Manor he escaped in advance. Draco, as mature as he was, still lets himself be carried away by flattery, he still participated in activities with the group, the twins only participated together in the known ones, as they need numbers to play Quidditch.

Draco knew that his brother wasn't very fond of hanging out with the group, so he didn't bother him about it, Narcissa wasn't very happy when she found out, she tried several times to make Dantalion participate more, but it hurt in vain, with time she let it go.

However after Dantalion noticed Crabbe and Goyle's physiognomy, he began to exercise the body, in the wizarding world, battles depend on the power of the spell, the hit rate and the dodge rate. It can be seen that for combat mages, physical quality is really important, and only agile mages can have high survival rate in melee battles.

Unbeknownst to his family, Dantalion began secretly doing physical training at midnight with Dobby, wizards generally never do physical training, they concentrate their time on learning and learning spells. for seven years at Hogwarts the only subject associated with physical education is the first year flying class, which only lasts one year, no wonder the little wizards can understand a vast array of spells but their performance in combat is extremely pathetic. this could also be due to the "peaceful" era, unless you intend to become an Auror, few know how to duel.

Dantalian in his past life, was very good at sport, at Eton he was part of the university football team, learned wrestling and attended gym as he got older and his time shrunk. Based on the dueling description he found in a book, he borrowed training methods from the Muggle world and designed a personalized training system. he asked Dobby to target him with offensive spells, and he had to dodge with one step, each step Dobby accelerated his casting speed increasing the dodge difficulty. During the day Dantalian also got into the habit of reading the Daily Prophet and took the initiative to understand the big and small things that happened in the "peaceful" wizarding world.

In his free time, he decided to write a letter to the editor-in-chief to borrow a small column from the newspaper to promote the exchange between British wizards and the international wizarding community, soon curiosities, discoveries and knowledge from abroad began to emerge and become popular. in society.

Dantalian took advantage of this space to research and acquire prominent contacts internationally, through the newspaper, Dantalian with the cofiname of Dante, sent and received messages, this regular exchange of correspondence, made him get several friends in foreign countries, from a North American magician who specialized in Thunderbirds, and who had been doing research on lightning spells, to a Japanese magician who taught at the Mahoutokoro School of Magic, and was researching on dueling and spells.

In Lucius' eyes the British magical world is the most advanced, he could not understand why his son was curious about these barbarians and backwards, since America's magical heritage comes from the United Kingdom, while the far east is recognized as backward, save for a few magic areas. For Narcissa, her son is simply supplanting her need for friendship, because he is shy, he prefers to talk via letters, only Draco knew that his brother loved magic and wanted to know everything about it, so he supported his brother's attitude and distracted his parents to help the brother to be in peace.

Of course, Dantalion doesn't care much for his parents' opinions, when he told them that he had read all the hundreds of books in the family library, even the cold Lucius couldn't help but show an expression of surprise and happiness. So Narcissa proposed taking the twins to Grandma Druella Black's house.

Druella visited the Malfoys once a year, she loved the naturally intelligent Dantalion and perfect little noble Draco very much, in fact, the twins were the only grandchildren she recognized, for Bellatrix, and Andromeda their aunt having married a Muggle.

Druella lived alone in a small house in Wiltshire, when she saw her grandchildren visiting, her face was filled with happiness, when Dantalion suggested that he wanted to see the collection of books in the library, she moved all the books in the house for him.

Druella's collection was inherited by her, comes from the Rosier family, her family of origin and also contained books by her late husband Cygnus Black III, it can be said that Dantalion found a treasure, not only classics of the Black family, but also some Lestrange family books, kept after Aunt Bella's arrest, put it all together, there were over a hundred copies.

Although Druella really pampered her grandchildren she was still knowledgeable, the books she gave Dantalion did not contain examples of black magic, however they did contain secret spells from the Black family, Rosier and some from the Lestrange family, he knew this was the most precious knowledge. from a pure blood family, and used the hourglass daily so that he could apprehend everything. After spending a month at her grandmother's house, Narcissa came to get them, discouraged Druella was very bold and gave all the books to her youngest, and favorite, grandchild.

When Narcissa saw her son's room full of messy books, she bought a portable trunk engraved with an extension curse, the space inside was an empty library, which could fit hundreds of books. Dantalion liked the gift very much, it made him feel like he had his own private library. He couldn't wait to organize all the books he got from his grandmother, only to realize that he barely managed to fill a hundred of the shelves. At this moment Dantalion has sworn to transform his library into the most complete pureblood heritage of the blooded 28.
