Chapter 122 Draco's Parents...
Chapter 122 Draco's Parents...
In the living room of Malfoy Manor, Lucius sat alone by the fireplace in a daze after dinner.
After dinner, Narcissa went into the study alone and said she wanted to write a letter to her daughter.
Despite being married for many years, Lucius sometimes still finds it difficult to fully understand his wife's thoughts.
When the Dark Lord first rose to power, his wife simply supported him silently.
Although he never joined the Death Eaters, he still assisted quietly and completed some unimportant tasks.
For example, threatening or bribing high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Magic to act as an insider.
Until the Dark Lord fell, when I thought the Malfoy family would fall into my hands,
Only then did I realize that Narcissa had already used these relationships to secretly make connections.
Although I don't fully understand how Narcissa did it, I can probably guess that
Her threats and bribes may actually be an appeal to emotions.
Convince the other party that by cooperating with Lucius, the Malfoy family will be responsible for protecting the lives of their families in this dark age.
Perhaps, the Dark Lord's name has not been mentioned yet, but he has been reminded repeatedly.
How Lucius risked being discovered by the Dark Lord in order to protect the safety of these high-ranking officials and their families.
After all, sometimes, the wife is more like the owner of the Malfoy family -
The survival of the Malfoy family is considered more important than the Dark Lord.
Only this can explain why, when the Dark Lord lost power,
When Lucius pleaded that the rampage was controlled by the tyranny spell,
There will be so many guarantees from within the Ministry of Magic.
Narcissa had never specifically explained this to Lucius, and Lucius also knew the etiquette for a lady to keep her secrets.
This time was the same, my beloved wife seemed to have had an idea early on.
Especially after Lucius decided not to devote all his energy to helping the Dark Lord resurrect because of his daughter's experience in the Chamber of Secrets.
The door to the living room opened, and Narcissa stepped into the room gracefully.
"Have you finished writing the letter?"
Lucius asked softly.
"Just remind her that she should do her best with the winged beasts, and it's okay if she really can't save them."
Narcissa walked past her husband, gently touched Lucius' arm, and sat down in the armchair opposite.
"I still don't understand why you care so much about winged beasts."
Lucius smiled, stood up and walked to the side table where the wine bottles were placed, and poured a glass of red wine for his wife.
"Thank you dear."
Narcissa took the glass, took a sip, and continued talking.
"I just feel it would be a shame to let go of such a good opportunity."
Lucius looked at his beloved wife, waiting for her to speak.
"Letting Draco save the winged beasts may help change the impression of the Malfoy family in front of Dumbledore."
"More likely to get her closer to the Potter boys."
Perhaps seeing the second sentence made her husband frown, Narcissa sat up quickly.
She held her husband's hand and whispered, as if she was afraid that the walls had ears.
"None of us want the Dark Lord to return, but if that doesn't happen..."
"I hope to leave some escape routes for Draco."
Narcissa's eyes revealed her determination to protect her daughter at all costs.
Lucius sighed, as if compromising.
He stood up and sat on the armrest of his wife's chair, stroking Narcissa's hair.
"Just like when you approached me and dated me, right?"
Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy recalled the past with a smile.
In the aristocratic social circles of that generation, it was well known that the branch of the Black family,
In order to ensure that the three daughters have a place to go, they were strictly required to choose their spouses in order to preserve the continuation of the family.
Bellatrix, the eldest sister, who hastily married Lestrange simply to please her parents,
Unlike her second sister Andromeda, who followed her inner love and was excluded by the family.
Since she started school, Narcissa has been keeping an eye on the pure-blood noble men around her.
That's why Lucius attracted his attention.
I noticed Lucius because I discovered him once.
He extended a helping hand to Snape, who was being severely bullied, without caring about his background at all.
I fell in love with it further after observing it closely.
Lucius repeatedly provided the family's collection of books to this junior who was always dressed in black.
Only then did I realize that I did this just to allow Snape to immerse himself in his favorite dark arts and potions.
I want to forget the shadow of being bullied by the Gryffindor four.
The gentleness beneath the cold and arrogant appearance allowed Narcissa to quickly lock onto the person to entrust.
Fortunately, she was able to fulfill her love life while taking care of her family.
Her right hand was pressed against her husband's loving face.
"Just like I did then."
"I hope that while she can protect herself, she also has someone who loves and protects her."
"Of course, it depends on Draco himself. It will only work if she really falls in love with that boy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the husband's eyes showed displeasure.
It seemed that he was completely unwilling to accept the idea that his daughter might be in love with someone.
Not to mention that Narcissa's chosen partner was Harry Potter.
"I don't agree... um..."
Before she could finish her protest, she kissed her deeply.
After Lucius calmed down, she whispered in his ear.
"Don't worry too much. I told you that Draco has to choose someone himself."
-
After Ravenclaw won the championship, the Gryffindor and Slytherin common rooms were in a slump for nearly two weeks.
I was dragged into the final exam season with such low pressure.
Miraculously, Harry and Draco, the Quidditch aces, were not that negative.
Harry has already told Ron the secret about the Prongs, Padfoot and the Four.
This made Ron unbelievable at first, and then extremely excited.
Although he still couldn't be sure whether Sirius was innocent, he didn't believe that Pettigrew had survived.
But I found out that the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts had made such a cool contraband.
This made Ron admire Lupin even more.
As the exam season approached, Hermione's whereabouts became more and more strange, and she was nowhere to be seen most of the time.
To Harry's surprise, every time he met Hermione,
Ron always asked Hermione with extraordinary consideration if she needed help.
He even volunteered to take on all the preparations for Buckbeak's appeal.
Harry was somewhat relieved that the two of them were getting along.
But he still didn't dare tell anyone why he was so absent-minded on the day of the game.
Except Draco.
(Please give me a gift!!! Free love generators are also great! The latest plan is that if the number of love generators reaches 1000 within a week, an additional article or a sequel will be added!!!)
