Chapter 1.
On June 5, 1980, in Wiltshire, Engnd.
Wiltshire is located in the southwest of Engnd, where one of the most powerful families in Britain—the Malfoy family—has its estate.
Malfoy Manor is a rge, somewhat gloomy estate, with a magnifit mansion standing at its ter, surrounded by meticulously designed gardens adorned with fountains and free-roaming white peacocks. The exquisite iron gate gives visitors a feeling of passing through smoke as they enter.
The Malfoy family has set up numerous spells around the property, both to protect the estate and to keep ordinary people at bay. Its current master is Lucius Malfoy, one of the most powerful individuals in porary Britain.
Today, the manor is livelier than usual, in stark trast to its usual tranquility. On this day, Mrs. Narcissa Malfoy has given birth to a pair of twins, the first twins born into the Malfoy family for turies, breaking a long-standing family tradition of only having one heir.
A middle-aged lump and dressed as a midwife, is hurriedly ing the bodies of two newborn boys, cheg their breaths and the strength of their sug reflex.
A young man, someale and dressed in ire, looks at the two newborns with untainable joy. He then g his wife, who is still lying on the rge bed, revealing a look of both and tenderness. Uo help himself, he asks, "Narcissa, how are you feeling?"
Narcissa Malfoy is a beautiful woman, still young and in her prime, her fair skin and delicate features refleg a hint of nobility. Although she has just given birth, there is no sign of weakness in her voice. "Darling, I'm fine. How are the children?"
"Don't worry, both children are very healthy," Lucius replies softly. "As agreed, you get to he eldest sht?"
"You know my family has a tradition of naming based on steltions. I'd like to keep that tradition. By family order, my child should belong to..." Narcissa thinks for about five seds and slowly says, "Serpens, so let's name him Draco. What do you think?"
"Since I've promised you, there will be no objes," Lucius says, a gentle smile appearing on his face. "As for the sed one, I already have a thought. You know how turbulent the current times are. Acc to the wisdom passed down through the Malfoy lineage, only the most astute and ambitious individuals lead the family to rise—"
"Acc to the family's hired Arithmahe child's birthday is June 5, so using the Pythagoreahod to deduce, the child's name must start with 'S' and end with 'N.' Let's call him—"
"Soren!"
"Soren? Isn't that the one who, over nine hundred years ago, romi figure alongside the Malfoy aor Armand, a Duke of Normandy, a close aide to queror William, and ultimately was awarded the title of Lord of Essex for his military achievements?" Narcissa inquired. "He was known for his iron-fisted methods and ruthlessness against enemies!"
"Dear, in times of chaos, unnecessary merly brings disaster," Lucius expined. "Besides, you still don't know that this name, as deduced from the Arithmancy, represents 'one'—which signifies wisdom, ambition, decisiveness, self, and leadership!"
Narcissa couldn't help but chuckle, "It seems your expectations for the children are quite high!"
Lucius's expression suddenly became a bit strange, as if he were excited yet slightly mencholic. He let out a long sigh and said, "I have no choice; the two children are born in chaotic times. I don't know how long this turmoil will st. I just hope they i the family business and tihe family's glory... I only do everything in my power to pave the way for them towards a splendid future."
"Dear..." Narcissa's eyes glistened with tears.
Putting aside the couple's melody romantic se, let's focus on the protagonist of this story.
Soren Malfoy.
In a previous life, a successful and well-known adventurer and archaeologist actally activated a mysterious magical vortex during an adventure in a hidden cave in the northern Tibet. This caused his entire being, including his body and soul, to be sucked into the vortex.
At the moment he awoke, he found himself transformed into a chubby, naked baby boy. He pletely uood the versation of this new body's parents. Oh my—
He had traveled into the world of Harry Potter, his favorite!
In his previous life, his most notable achievements stemmed from adventures i's Tutankhamun's pyramid and the Charmank ghost s in America. He even wrote bestselling books about these two adventures in the UK, selling over a million copies worldwide.
However, he had another lesser-knowy—ahusiastic lover of mysticism and magic, having read hundreds of different fantasy novels about magid the occult. His favorite was the Harry Potter series written by J.K. Rowling, which he had read haimes, memorizing every plot aail. Not to mention he was an honorary member of the official Harry Potter fan club i Britain and had even had lunch with the author, J.K. Rowling, several times.
He quietly calcuted the time in his mind: Drad Harry Potter were born in the same year, which meant it was now 1980.
Ah, a baby's little head isn't very useful; just this simple deduade him feel a bit fatigued mentally.
It took Soren quite a while to uand his current situation. Although he felt joy aement about being transported to the magic world he was familiar with and loved, he was also troubled by the thought of having to relive the growth journey from baby to adult.
At this moment, the wizarding world in Britain was in turmoil due to the First Wizarding War initiated by Voldemort, but Soren could not participate in any of these developments. He could o and sleep well every day, fulfilling the duties of a baby.
Sihe birth of the Malfoy twins, Lucius had begun to spend little time at home. He was gathering supporters for his master—Voldemort—battling across the nd, intending to establish a society where pure-blood wizards could rule gle wizards.
This situation tinued until October 31, 1981, when a dark wizard named Voldemort disappeared, and a savior named Harry Potter emerged, turning a new page in the history of the wizarding world.
After Voldemort's downfall, the Death Eater's power crumbled.
Soon, wizard society began to return to normal life, with national wizards holding one celebration after another as the story of the boy who lived spread. The Ministry of Magic resumed operations, and trials for the Death Eaters began orderly.
Some who had been steadfastly loyal to Voldemort still could not believe that the Dark Lord had beeed, and tio stubbornly threaten the officials involved irials; undoubtedly, they would be sent to Azkaban.
Meanwhile, some took a more pragmatic approach, such as Lucius, who insisted he had joihe Death Eaters uhe Imperius Curse, thus avoiding prison time. Of course, whether there was any financial or power-reted deal behind this remains unknown, and there were many such people.
A careful review of the Malfoy family history and information reveals that the Malfoy family often made the correct choices at crucial moments. They desired power ah but were better at adapting and esg. From the moment they followed the Duke of Normandy's nding in Britain, the Malfoy family exemplified the ultimate survival principles.
Time heals the superficial wounds of the heart, and people also deliberately fet those pains. Although the wizarding world does not appear as peaceful as it seems, at least people no longer live in stant fear.
