"T-this is...?"
Draco Malfoy followed Audrey and jumped down. The entrance was more than two meters above the ground. Audrey's body was robust, so it naturally didn't matter to her, but Draco landed squarely on his butt. His teeth clacked together, and the taste of blood instantly filled his mouth.
However, this small pain was immediately thrown to the back of his mind.
Because he saw the dragon he had been longing for.
In a corner of the suitcase space, Audrey had already built an artificial cliff for Norberta, and she had also thoughtfully dug a "sea."
There were many fish in the large pool, and Audrey had planted grass and raised sheep around the cliff.
Norberta was currently sleeping soundly on a tank beside the cliff. Smelling "Mom's" scent, she woke up immediately, jumped down from the tank, and rolled like a gourd on the ground.
With two wails, Norberta climbed up and scampered, pitter-patter, toward Audrey.
Draco looked enviously as Audrey picked up Norberta, who was about the size of a puppy.
"This is a Norwegian Ridgeback," Draco said. "My family's dragon reserve is full of ordinary Common Welsh Greens; I'm tired of seeing them\!"
He leaned closer, watching Norberta purring comfortably, and exclaimed, "Look how beautiful she is\!"
Draco reached out his hand, wanting to touch her but not daring to, because he knew that a Norwegian Ridgeback's teeth were highly venomous. Getting bitten was no joke.
"Touch her; it's fine."
Draco cautiously reached out his hand and gently stroked Norberta, his face full of satisfaction.
"What are you scared of\! Are you a man or not?"
Audrey couldn't stand Draco's cowardly appearance. She gave him a disdainful look and stuffed Norberta into Draco's arms.
"Norberta, no biting. This is my cousin. If you bite him, I won't give you meat later\!"
Norberta wailed twice and stopped moving, letting Draco handle her, looking just like a little dragon plush toy.
Like mother, like daughter. A slacker dragon's life needed no explanation. As long as there was meat to eat, she would even perform acrobatics\!
Seeing Audrey leave him behind and walk to the side, Draco hurriedly asked.
"Cousin, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, practicing driving\!"
Audrey skillfully jumped into the T-80 cockpit and started the tank.
Amidst the roar, Draco watched the steel giant begin to gallop, his face full of shock.
Cousin calls this thing a car?
The concept of a car in his mind was still stuck at horse carriages... at most, small Muggle automobiles. The tens of tons of stuff in front of him had exceeded his cognition of a car.
Audrey raced wildly for a few minutes. Draco's attention had been completely attracted by the tank. He didn't even notice when Norberta struggled free from his embrace.
This thing looks so majestic\!
The tank stopped, and the turret began to rotate.
Aim, fire\!
BOOM\!
The shell hit the cliff, blasting rocks everywhere\!
"Reparo\!"
Audrey's muffled voice came from the tank cockpit. Those giant rocks seemed to have the rewind button pressed, quickly returning to where they were a few seconds ago.
Under the effect of the Mending Charm, the cliff returned to its original state in an instant.
Norberta wailed, trying hard to jump onto the tank. After bumping her head a few times, she finally grabbed the tank's skirt with her mouth. Her wings flapped wildly, and for the first time in her life, she got onto the tank with her own strength\!
"Wah wah\! Gah\!"
Only then did Draco realize that the little dragon was long gone from his arms.
But this was no longer important. At this moment, the boy's heart was already filled with the tank\!
"Cousin\!" Draco knocked hard on the tank armor. "What exactly is this?"
BOOM\!
Another shot. The huge sound and the vibration of the air made Draco fall backward onto the ground. With a ringing in his ears, he could hardly hear anything.
Norberta watched excitedly as her future nest was blasted to pieces by a cannon shot, then turned her head and quacked at Draco, seemingly mocking his cowardice.
"Reparo." After repairing the cliff, Audrey floated out of the tank.
"Cousin\!" Draco ignored his muddled head and shouted loudly (because of temporary deafness). "Is this some latest alchemical product? It's amazing\!"
"This is a Muggle weapon of war\!"
Draco was stunned.
Muggles made this?
The young heir of a pure-blood family was greatly shocked at this moment.
"Then, that one was also made by Muggles?"
Draco pointed to the Tu-160 strategic bomber, which had a huge body and looked like a white swan.
"That's right. That's the Muggle airplane you often brag to your classmates about almost crashing into."
Draco blushed, remembering the boasts he had made, and was extremely embarrassed for a moment.
"Follow me; I'll broaden your horizons\!"
The Tu-160 strategic bomber was over fifty meters long and thirteen meters high, a truly colossal object.
Walking up close, Draco looked up. Observing it from close range was even more shocking than from afar\!
Entering the cabin, Audrey took Draco straight to the cockpit.
Because of boredom, Audrey had converted the cockpit into her entertainment room.
Television, VCR, and videotapes piled up more than half a person high. [The suitcase is considered a space isolated from the outside world; the setting that electronics cannot be used at Hogwarts is invalid here. Personal setting.]
A full tank of fuel for the Tu-160 could provide her with electricity for more than five years\!
"Draco, sit anywhere."
Malfoy sat timidly on a single sofa, while Audrey rummaged through a pile of videotapes. "Tsk, where did that instructional video go? Where did it run off to?"
"Ah\! Here it is\!"
Audrey inserted the tape into the VCR and looked at Draco with ill intentions. "Draco, are you ready? What you see next will completely overturn your cognition."
Draco swallowed, nodding blankly. He didn't know what his cousin was going to do, and this sense of unease almost drowned him.
After a burst of static, images began to appear on the TV.
The background audio was in Russian, which Draco couldn't understand. He only saw people performing various operations on a cylinder.
Audrey couldn't understand either, so she pressed fast forward.
On the screen, a bright spot appeared in the sky, and then—a strong light burst forth, and a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky. The power of a hydrogen bomb explosion could only be described in four words: destroying heaven and earth.
Draco's pupils quaked.
Not because of the horror of the nuclear explosion—the war between wizards and Muggles was too far away from him to touch him at all. At most, he would lament, how could Muggles be so powerful?
What truly moved Draco was that he had seen the cylinder at the beginning of this video.
Just now, when he boarded the Tu-160...
—That thing was lying quietly in the cabin, looking exactly like the one in the video.
So, Cousin carries such a weapon of mass destruction with her?
Voldemort?
Who is that?
Compared to his evil cousin, he is simply not in the same league\!
What? Cousin isn't evil?
If she isn't evil, why would she carry something that can blow up all of England??
Draco seriously suspected that his cousin brought him in for a tour just to intimidate their Malfoy family into listening to her properly\!
But, Malfoys will never be slaves... never be slaves...
Being a slave doesn't seem impossible...
Hmm...
Fine, she succeeded. I'll write a letter to Father when I go back later...
Audrey never expected that she just wanted to broaden Draco's horizons, aiming only to stop him from despising Muggles in the future, but the young Master Malfoy would actually imagine so many things\!
If she had turned on her Legilimency constitution at this moment, she would definitely cry out for justice.
The kind that is even more unjust than Dou E.
...
Pansy Parkinson paced outside Audrey's door.
She had run over in a moment of indignation, but now that the anger had subsided, she was a little afraid to go in.
Arjonia Rolle, who was expelled from her family, and Alan Ash, who was expelled from school—these were lessons from the past.
Besides, it wasn't very rare for girls to ask boys into their dormitories to help. No one would say anything; it was normal social interaction.
Reason gradually gained the upper hand, and Pansy hesitated even more.
Doing that kind of dirty thing in school in broad daylight, only Rolle who drank Amortentia could do it\!
Audrey Astley was not that kind of person\!
Pansy thought so and clenched her fist.
Yes, that's right. You can tell from Audrey's songs that she isn't that kind of person\!
But...
But Pansy really wanted to know what Draco was doing in the Astley room\!
How about taking a peek?
Pansy gently pushed open the door.
In front of her was not a room, but a chaos of purple and black light blending together.
What is this? A visual trick?
Could there really be something shady between them?
Otherwise, why cover it up\!\!
Pansy's impulse took over her brain again. She hurriedly wanted to cross the light curtain to see what was happening behind it.
She rushed in headfirst, her whole body merging into the chaos.
But in the next moment, Pansy disappeared from Hogwarts.
