[HP Comprehensive UK and US] Platinum Stark

Alicia's short trip with her father in the United States came to an end quickly. As she had expected, her father did take her around various European countries. When Lucius was away on business, she would wander around the magical streets alone.

But the Stark Industries dinner still left a deep impression on her.

What did she say that night?

"Tony, Mr. Stanny took the initiative to talk to my father about things in the company."

Tony seemed a little surprised, but not too shocked. He just smiled to show that he understood what the girl meant.

Alicia has always adhered to the principle of doing things just enough, and reminding her friend without any evidence was already a big exception for her.

Therefore, she did not force Tony to be too cautious.

On the way back to the American estate that night, Lucius asked her casually, "Does Thea admire him?"

"Stark is indeed a genius, Dad. Maybe he will bring us unexpected surprises."

The girl's memories came to an abrupt end - the train back to school had arrived at Hogwarts.

Alicia, who hadn't studied much during the whole holiday, was very depressed about the upcoming final exams. She could only put Tony's matter aside for the time being.

The auditorium, which had been empty for two weeks, became lively again. The classmates who met again after a brief separation seemed to have a lot to talk about.

Gryffindor was in an uproar, led by the Weasley twins who were jumping up and down and shouting loudly.

The Hufflepuffs were not so exaggerated, but they also gathered in several groups and excitedly discussed their experiences.

The Ravenclaws also looked very happy, eating pumpkin pie while debating the latest issue in a certain house.

Perhaps infected by the warm atmosphere, the usually quiet Slytherin table suddenly changed its usual dull state.

"Alicia, I heard that you went traveling to Europe during the holidays? Was it interesting?" Pansy looked at the girl with interest.

Draco put down the knife and fork he was using to cut the steak, snorted, and answered before his sister could speak: "Huh, I don't know if it's interesting or not, but it's true that she has become a lot rounder after returning home."

Although Lucius explained to Draco why he couldn't be taken on this trip, he still couldn't be happy.

This was the first time since he was born that he had been separated from his sister for such a long time, but Alicia, apart from reporting safety on the first day, had never sent him a letter!

Draco would not admit that he had to ask his mother every day at the beginning why Thea's letter was not sent back with his father's?

"Draco!!!" Alicia's face flushed slightly, and she called the boy's name in embarrassment and annoyance, "You!!"

Seeing that everyone around was looking at her, the girl swallowed the next words reluctantly.

Theodore handed Alicia a glass of milk naturally, and said with a smile: "You look much better after going out for a walk."

The light in the girl's eyes was real and dazzling, a far cry from the vague nervousness she had felt before the holiday.

"Wow!" Blaise rested his right elbow on the table and said with an ambiguous look, "Theodore, come and see if my complexion has changed... Ouch!"

Before he could finish his words, Draco elbowed him in the stomach without mercy.

"Hiss...ah...Draco, why are you like a rude Muggle?" Blaise complained while rubbing his stomach.

Only Muggles could do such a barbaric thing.

Draco first put the beef on the fork into Alicia's mouth to stop her from talking, and then said coldly without even looking up: "Zabini, I don't mind letting you taste the curse."

Gore, who was gnawing on a fried chicken leg, looked at Bryce with sympathy, not understanding his behavior at all.

Teasing Alicia in front of Draco, did he eat the food for his brain?

Theodore turned around and looked at Draco a few more times. After not seeing him for two weeks, the latter seemed to have changed a little.

It seemed that Mr. Malfoy had said something to him.

Brace smiled awkwardly, touched his nose and explained: "I was just joking, just a joke..."

"Wow!" Alicia looked at Blaise with a smile, but there was no joy in her eyes. Just when everyone thought she was holding a grudge and was going to retaliate, she took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her mouth, "Delicious blueberry pie."

The corners of Draco's mouth turned up slightly, and then quickly suppressed it - Alicia was sitting right opposite him, and he didn't want the girl to think that he had lost his temper.

Let him think about it, at least... give him all the candy for a week!
