My Group was more like a group of friends rather than a following. Though sometimes I feel like Theo is on the other side of the fence cause he just shows too much preference to me.
Granted I taught him most of the knowledge, around 50%, but still, you don't hide behind a boy if some girl comes to talk to you. He doesn't speak much, I think it is some trauma from his father's torture but I mostly keep him in the Malfoy Mansion with the excuse of group Studies.
Theo was a genius of amazing capability. From my guess, he had an IQ of around 220 or something near that. If someone of enough capability nurtures him he could grow up to be an amazing researcher or scientist but a leader, that's not his cup of tea. He has some issues in the EQ department.
He finds anyone who doesn't hurt him likeable but is quite wary of strangers. In short words, he is like an abused and abandoned puppy that you would find in the woods. I am pretty sure that he trusts me enough that he can give Fleur a run for her money.
Sometimes I can see a glint in his eyes when I am with Fleur but I refuse to believe that my friend and disciple who I know so well could be something like that.
It should be something else, yeah..... it should be something else.
As for Amelia and Hannah, we kinda drifted apart during the years. What we were now were 'just classmates'
Daphne had a somewhat cordial relationship with Theo. This was probably due to her father due to Future courting purposes.
Most of my friends or acquaintances were smart enough to know that I am not much of a fan of Pureblood supremacy. And their Families were also not that bad.
Except for Theo's that is. I will probably do something to him before long, that rat of a man tests my patience sometimes.
I think there's a certain dignity or swagger that I have gained after these few years of living in high-class society and being a shadow-leader of a country and a black-bellied boss doesn't help the case either. I am still the humble and quirky dude that I was though...mostly.
There was Astoria Greengrass and Gabrielle Delacour too. Their age difference was not that big either. This also helped in their budding friendship that was blossoming between the two girls.
There was something peculiar and interesting that I noticed. There was the gathering of both little girls near Draco. And both of the little girls were being all bubbly and bouncy and having fun. Pansy was visibly displeased by this while Draco had a wry smile but didn't hate it per se. That is probably the only reason why Pansy endured.
Surprisingly, I could also spot a slight scrunch on Luna's face, but that disappeared after she kept and stood beside me. Though she still kept looking Draco's way.
After this event, the party was rather uneventful. The meal was a nice surprise for everyone.
The dishes were most of those which I taught the house-elves. There 2 different courses, one was all the fast food. The second one was kinda special, it was all the cuisines of the country I originate from. There were Biryani and Karahi with Naan and all that stuff.
It reminded me of my past life, I can't help but remember. I do experience occasional blues just like every other human being but when eating food like this, food which I ate and the food whose taste I remember so vehemently. I can't help but shed some tears.
My Mom wasn't the best cook, however, just the sentimental value of that taste which even the best chef cannot recreate is something so much more.
Fleur beside just rubbed my lap while I was eating, the others also asked what happened but I just blamed the spiciness.
Back to the light-hearted stuff. Everyone seemed happy with the food. Dad said he was also thinking of opening a Food business consisting of all the fast food and other cuisines.
The brand will be named 'Fast Food'. The others seemed impressed but I was just blankly staring at Dad.
This was the height of Laziness. First, you steal my idea but don't even change it even a little bit. Even Thomas Edison and Bill Gates were smarter than this.
After this, guests started leaving but the Delacour Family was staying in the Malfoy Guest House.
---------------
The party ended at around 5 in the evening. There was not much to do all of us were exhausted. I had some evening tea and then went on a walk with Fleur around Malfoy mansion. We chatted a little and from what I could grasp, she had a better relationship with Theo than all of the other girls.
Se also befriended Pansy. It seems, that she was feeling sorry for her. Practically anyone but Draco can figure out that the girl had some attachment to him. so, she helped give her some beauty tips and general talk about how to ensnare a man.
To be honest, the advice she gave was mostly from all the anime that I had watched. But, for Pansy who else would be a better mentor in this than a veela. So, I just let it be. It would be interesting to see where this ends up but I will step in if need be.
After coming back from the walk, I was refreshed. But after taking a bath and wearing some comfortable pyjamas, the tiredness all came and hit me at once. So, I just slept that day without having dinner.
I woke up to the ringing of my Bulky-ass tumour-causing phone. From today on, I will add headache-causing to its accolades too. I am starting to think all those idiots who made magical phone did something good.
Back to the phone, Greyrat (My manager), said "Sir, the devices to adjust the orbit have been fitted and they have also made a separate 1-man space shuttle as per your request. They are ready to launch in 5 hours"
This sentence of his made all my plans for today fall flat.
I replied in a clearly unenthusiastic voice, "Tell them to pick my man up from London airport in one and a half hour." After this, I just cut the call.
It was fucking 5 in the morning, It's been two days in a row that my sleep has been interrupted due to this shit.
