A few months later ...Anala was fetching water from one of the wells located not far from the house. She deftly drew a bucket from the well and poured the water into the two wooden buckets she was carrying. Anala then slipped a bamboo stick and linked the two wooden buckets to the bamboo hook.That day Anala tied her red, shoulder-length wavy hair in a ponytail. Her round pink eyes were lonely. She missed Radcliff, who had left his home to become a sorcerer in the magic tower. Anala's pretty face with a motherly face looked tired. Sweat rolled down her face. She wore just a simple sleeveless shirt and knee-length circle-line skirt, and sandals. Her shirt wet because of sweat.The weather that day was quite hot. The sun was already high in the sky and emitted a light that stung the skin—almost noon. Anala fanned with her hands to get rid of the heat. She took some water with her palms and washed her face.When she was about to lift the two buckets,

Draco saw Radcliff hastily following Gale's footsteps. His face looked happy, full of hope. Worry laid between hope and despair on Radcliff's face. Draco looked at Radcliff with a little jealousy. Was that how you feel about having a family? Draco didn't have a father and mother or family who were waiting for him. Sometimes he also wanted to feel it. He wanted someone waiting for him. Thinking about family made Draco's heart suddenly ache.The only Draco family was Albus, and now Astrid too. Draco looked away, trying to get rid of the jealousy in his heart. He should not be jealous or sad because he did not have a family. He should be happy that Radcliff was seeing his family very soon. And actually, he had two persons that cared about him, three if he counted Edmund also.Draco tried to distract himself. He gazed at the bamboo forest surrounding the path along the way. There was something that caught his eye in this bamboo forest. He felt many unseen eyes staring at h

Astrid fell on her knees on the floor. Her body limped. Astrid trembled, holding her head which was so sore. It felt like it was about to explode. Cold sweat flowed from her temples. Her face was as white as paper. She looked terrible in pain."Draco ..." groaned Astrid in pain. She closed her eyes in anguish. She couldn't endure any more pain. She looked suffered.“Astrid, calm down! What did you do to her?" Draco asked angrily. He hurriedly got up from his chair and hugged Astrid, and massaged Astrid's temples slowly."Forgive me. Astrid is sick from forcing herself to recall the memories locked by black magic in her body. Currently, many of her memories are fragmented and incomplete because of the black magic," said Lycus Lewis with a look of regret."What? Black magic? Why is there black magic on Astrid's body? Is Albus's dragon blessing can't purify that black magic?” Draco asked in shock.“If Albus's dragon blessing didn't e

Gale walked closer to Draco's, standing on the shore of the lake. Lycus Lewis stood not far from Draco while Zergenth hovered in the air in miniature beside Draco.“The secret power of the Elves? Are you kidding?" Draco asked, wincing in surprise.Gale shook his head and looked at Draco earnestly."Do I look like I'm kidding with you?" Gale asked Draco."No, I don’t think so. I believe that you're talking seriously," Draco replied quietly.Gale took out a scroll of parchment from his cloak and raised it in the air."Do you remember this parchment?" asked Gale."Yes, I remember that. I delivered the parchments to King Ruven Omanelis on behalf of Albus White. But I don't know what's in it. The writing on the parchment only appears in the hands of the official recipient of the parchment,” Draco replied."Yes, because the contents are very confidential. Do you know the reason Albus asked you to deliver the parchme

Astrid burst into tears before the throne of the ice palace. Albus's spirit embraced Astrid gently and let the girl cry until she was satisfied. Albus embraced Astrid like a very handsome and charismatic father would embrace his daughter. After crying for a long time in Albus's chest, Astrid finally let go of her arms and stared at Albus with her swollen eyes."Thank you, Albus," said Astrid, her face flushed with embarrassment at her spontaneous hugging of Albus.Albus patted Astrid's head gently."Pleasure is mine, my child," replied Albus softly."Tell me how I can get away from Leonard and get back to Draco?" Astrid asked, wiping her tears with her sleeve.“Obey Leonard and earn his trust. Tell him you want to live and have fun. Tell him you want luxury, power, strength over other humans. He will definitely treat you well," said Albus advised."But, that means I betrayed Draco. I don't want to fellowship with Leonard,” Astrid
