51 Vacation with Father (1/2)

After exiting the train, Casimir bid goodbye to Draco and began waiting for his father alone. Before they had left Hogwarts this morning, Casimir had received a letter from his father that he would be personally picking him up from the platform.

Although Casimir was confused why his father suddenly had the impulse to do this, seeing that the man barely left the manor, he was still filled with warmth, knowing that there was someone who would take the time to pick him up. So, this is what a family feels like...

Casimir stood patiently at a corner and, not long after, he spotted a tall, slender, yet, imposing man with dignified features approach him. He had finally arrived!

Casimir smiled and walked towards the man. ”Good afternoon, father.”

Alexander smiled lightly as he studied his son. ”I've heard you've done quite a lot of things at Hogwarts these past months?” He said in teasing scrutiny. ”How about we talk about those achievements of yours slowly over lunch?”

At this moment, Casimir had a feeling of dread despite his father speaking in a gentle tone. Ah... Can I get a refund..?

...

”-and let's not forget about the time you beheaded the troll! I mean, what were you thinking!” Casimir had his head lowered, being scolded by Alexander.

The place I'm which they had decided to eat lunch in was a small, ordinary looking pub in London which was actually run by a family of wizards. Unlike most wizard families which had hidden themselves from the eyes of the muggles, this wizard family actually ran several pubs and restaurants audaciously.

Their customers were not limited to only wizards. Even muggles can freely enter and dine. Of course, some more special menus are unavailable to them.

”I have also been told that you've been wandering around the castle during nighttime when you students are not supposed to be found wandering about!” Alexander exclaimed as he bit into a screaming pie.

How in the world did he even know that?! Casimir was covered in cold sweat. He was sure that nobody knew of his midnight adventures!

”Meahh...” Noir let out a soft sound, seeking attention or perhaps, was just eyeing the food on the table. Sadly, he was destined to be ignored.

”You should know of the less than positive image of our family right now. The last thing we need is unneeded attention and that was just what you brought!” Alexander huffed, finishing his food. ”Maybe it's time I take you around and let you see the world. Let you see how big it is and how much our family influences it. Maybe, then, you can learn how to be less reckless.”

Oh? Ohhh???!! A vacation?! How nice!
