Hogwarts: This holy light is righteously evil

Previously, Regulus had specifically mentioned the Malfoys' whereabouts to Penny. They were taking advantage of this free time to embark on a round-the-world trip with Draco, planning to visit various countries.

One reason was to broaden Draco's horizons and knowledge.

Secondly, and more importantly, they planned to take Draco to Romania to see dragons and, incidentally, to assess whether Draco was qualified to attend Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

After hearing all this, Puni was certain that the matter would most likely come to nothing.

Although the Malfoys are a pure-blooded noble family with a deep heritage, Draco was pampered by the Malfoys from a young age, which made him exceptionally soft-hearted, delicate, and sensitive. His every move even carried a bit of the naivety of a little princess, and he lacked the resilience to face difficulties on his own.

Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is known for its strictness and toughness, with a strong school spirit and a focus on training in dark magic defense and combat skills. With Draco's personality, even if he were to actually enter Durmstrang, he would probably find it difficult to adapt to the environment there, let alone successfully complete his studies and survive peacefully.

Puni didn't have to wait long in the living room before the Malfoys arrived at 12 Grimmauld Place on time.

It's clear that they cut short their round-the-world trip to come back specifically for Borcoux's funeral.

Perhaps before setting off, they even returned to Malfoy Manor to change into a plain, dark wizard's robe as a sign of respect for the deceased.

Even with their careful grooming, Puni could still see the weariness of their journey; the corners of their wizard robes were still stained with dust from the trip, and each of them looked tired.

Among them, the most conspicuous was Draco. He had his head down, his eyes unfocused, and he looked even more listless than the Malfoys beside him. His lips were slightly downturned, and he looked utterly dejected.

Puni secretly guessed that perhaps they hadn't even arrived in Romania yet, and hadn't even seen the dragon that Draco longed for, when they received the news of Boroks' death and had to hastily end their trip to rush back. No wonder Draco was so disappointed.

Although Penny was the head of the Lestrange family and held a prestigious position, he was only eleven years old and still quite young. According to the Black family's rules, he naturally did not need to undertake the preparation and reception work for the funeral.

Right now, his main task is to help take care of the younger family members who come to attend the funeral.

For a time, he became the leader of this group of children.

Fortunately, these children were not stubborn or willful; most were well-behaved and easy to coax, so Puni's care was not too difficult.

Draco, in particular, although he was older than Regulus's son Severan, lacked the maturity and composure expected of an older brother. He was immature and even noisier than Severan when playing with him.

ah~

Puni sighed again.

How bad can someone with a staff made of unicorn hair be?

Seeing this, Puni simply waved his wand and gently tapped it, instantly transforming a piece of wood into a mini fire dragon the size of a palm.

The dragon's body is covered with fine orange-red scales, its eyes are like two small rubies, and it occasionally spits out a wisp of sparks from its mouth. It is small and cute.

Draco's eyes lit up the moment he saw the miniature dragon. His previous dejection vanished, and he immediately went over to it, circling around the dragon. He would gently touch its scales with his finger and whisper to it, playing with the dragon for a long time with great interest.

Puni stood aside, quietly watching Draco's appearance, and sighed inwardly.

I wonder which of the Malfoys he inherited his immature nature from.

Boroks' funeral was a grand affair, following the ancient Black family rites, solemn and dignified.

The number of pure-blood nobles attending the funeral was not large. After all, the Black family had become increasingly low-key in recent years, and the family had strict rules, so not all pure-blood nobles were qualified to come and pay their respects.

Those present were all relatives who had married into the Black family and were connected by blood. Each of them was dressed in a plain wizard's robe, with a solemn expression, silently mourning the deceased.

Regulus knew very well that the health of several elders in the clan had been deteriorating in recent years, with most of them bedridden and their energy greatly diminished, making them unable to withstand the back-and-forth exertion.

Therefore, when preparing for the funeral, he specifically instructed that he did not want any elders to attend, but only wanted them to rest in peace and be spared the sadness and exhaustion of the funeral.

Even so, two elders still insisted on coming over.

They were the two sons of Boroks Black, the younger brothers of Regulus' mother, Lady Volbuga, Alfard Black and Signas Black.

Among them, Alphad was expelled from the Black family for secretly funding Sirius Black, who was ousted from the family, and has been estranged from the family for many years.

Signas, Puni's maternal grandfather, had always lived a low-key life and rarely participated in family affairs, but despite his physical limitations, he made a special trip to send his brother off on his final journey.

When the two arrived, they were both wearing heavy, dark wizard robes. They walked with difficulty, their expressions full of exhaustion and sorrow, clearly having come all the way from home, enduring a long and arduous journey.

When Regulus saw them, he felt somewhat helpless, but he did not try to dissuade them. He simply stepped forward to help the two elders, gently reminding them to take care of their health. Then he led them to the altar to pay their respects to Boroks' portrait.

Puni stood aside, looking at the two elders before him, and silently performed a wizard's salute.

In fact, it was no accident that Alfred Black was able to return to the Black family.

Years ago, he was expelled from the Black family for secretly supporting Sirius Black, who was deemed a "pure-blood traitor" by the family, thus violating the family's pure-blood code. For many years, he has remained outside the family and has had little contact with his relatives.

Later, Sirius's "undercover" identity was confirmed, clearing him of his previous stigma. Alphad's funding back then was also changed from "betraying the family" to "secretly helping".

While Mrs. Walbuga was still alive, she personally intervened and revoked the expulsion order against Alfard, welcoming him back to the Black family and restoring his family status.

However, after years of wandering and emotional distress, Alfard's health had deteriorated significantly.

Now, he stands with his brother Signas, both of them appearing extremely frail, walking with difficulty, their faces almost transparently pale, coughing frequently, their mental state extremely poor, not much better than that of Boroks who had just passed away.
