CHAPTER 497
On reaching the palace, Astrid was not too surprised to see her granddaughter pacing in front of the big yard at the front and the second he laid eyes on them, he stopped pacing and rushed up to meet her just below the steps.
"Oh my goodness, Astrid. Until when would you stop making me worry like that?" Draco asked placing a hand on his chest and closing his eyes halfway like he was hurt.
Seeing her grandfather's dramatic side, Astrid could not help shaking her head before pulling him to a close hug.
"I am sorry old man."
"I am not old, young one. I am still young and vibrant."
"Whatever you say," she pulled away from the hug and smiled sweetly at him. "I'm sorry gramps, but guess what, I brought back some friends. One you know and others, you would come to know." She stepped back, giving him a clearer view.
"Oh my God! Who do we have here?"
