He didn't know if Malfoy, the Muggle prison, would sit through, he only knew that he might be in some minor trouble right now. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When he returned home, he found that in addition to Narcissa and Lucius, there were two middle-aged men in uniform standing in the living room, all of whom had serious expressions.
"Baby, you're finally back, nothing happened. Narcissa saw that Malfoy was safe and sound, and rushed over to hug him, patting him on the back. Then he whispered in Malfoy's ear, "Go upstairs and go to bed, don't stay here." ”
"Don't protect him. Lucius's tone was colder than usual, and he pulled out a few letters. "Look at him for himself, see what mess he's messed up," Lucius tossed the letter on the table.
Malfoy opened the letter, which read.
MR MALFOY: We have been informed that at 3:40 p.m. this afternoon you used a stun charm on a Muggle at a Muggle dwelling in Little Hangleton.
You are aware that underage wizards are not allowed to use magic outside of school, and that if you continue to do so, you may be expelled from the school (Act on the Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards, 1875, para. 3).
Also keep in mind that under Section 13 of the International Federation of Wizarding and Wizarding Secrecy Act, any magical activity that may attract the attention of non-members of the wizarding world (Muggles) is a serious offense.

"It's a bit of a hassle. Malfoy muttered.
"Little trouble?" Lucius's voice grew louder, "Look again!" he growled, losing his usual graceful demeanor.
Malfoy then opened another letter.
It reads:
Mr. Malfoy: Again, we have been informed that at 4:30 p.m. this afternoon you cast a Muggle expulsion spell on an area at a Muggle dwelling in Little Hangleton.
You are aware that underage wizards are not allowed to use magic outside of school, and that if you continue to do so, you may be expelled from the school (Act on the Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards, 1875, para. 3).
Also keep in mind that under Section 13 of the International Federation of Wizarding and Wizarding Secrecy Act, any magical activity that may attract the attention of non-members of the wizarding world (Muggles) is a serious offense.

The contents of the next few letters were the same, but the name of the spell was changed.
The last letter:
"In view of your previous behavior, which has seriously violated the International Confederation of Wizards' secrecy laws, we have decided to give you severe punishment, according to what we have learned, your grades at Hogwarts seem to be excellent, and with Professor Dumbledore's guarantee, we will not expel you, but will confiscate your wand and return it at a later date as punishment. ”
"Your warning letter was sent to our house, and my baby didn't see it at all. Narcissa pleaded in a loud voice for Malfoy.
"Calm down, ma'am. One of the two, a slightly taller wizard, said slowly.
"We're just doing what we're told. Another slightly chunky wizard answered.
"Hand over your wand. Lucius's voice grew darker.
"I think I'm willing to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic. Malfoy nodded. He handed his wand to the tall, thin wizard.
"No!" Narcissa let out a high-pitched scream, clearly unable to accept the reality of her son's punishment.
The two wizards from the Ministry of Magic couldn't help but have a look of surprise on their faces. Obviously, they have experienced a hundred battles, and they have seen a lot of little wizards who use magic outside the school, but when they are really punished, the little guy's crying face is definitely light, and there are not a few who cry loudly, and most of them are definitely clenched tightly when they really want to collect their wands, and it is the first time they have encountered such a calm little wizard today, and they can't help but be surprised.
"It's amazingly calm. Both praised at the same time. "I believe the accident was just a minor misunderstanding. ”
"We'll explain the situation to our superiors. Humpty Dumpty said. Obviously, today's matter was resolved very easily, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of Malfoy, and even wondered if he was really mistaken, how could such a well-behaved child break the law.
"Thank you very much. Lucius nodded to them.
"Alright, we're going back to our lives, and it's not too early. The tall, thin wizard said.
"Stay and have a bite to eat, there are prepared desserts. Narcissa seemed to be making a last-ditch effort to please them a little longer, hoping to reduce the punishment.
"Thank you, ma'am, for your kindness, but we are also busy. The tall and thin wizard rejected the offer.
The two of them then walked out of Malfoy's house, presumably using the illusion of transfiguration, and their bodies gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared into the void.
"Lucius!" Narcissa yelled at Lucius, apparently trying to vent her frustration.
"Oh, Narcissa, calm down. Unlike the cold and serious tone just now, Lucius now seemed relaxed.
"You told me to calm down? Our son was almost expelled! The two guys took their wands away, how do you tell me to calm down. Narcissa seemed a little hysterical now, and any mother should have reacted to hearing that her child was almost expelled from school.
"Don't worry. Lucius whispered, "You still have to learn this from our son, you see how calm he is." He glanced at Malfoy, who stood silently at the table, relaxed and unaffected.
He continued to say lightly: "When the Ministry of Magic does things, everyone has to give some face, and everyone looks good on the surface. As for what the letter says". Lucius seemed to scoff. "Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic are not on the right path, the more he pleads, the more the Ministry of Magic wants to disgust him, and really expel the person, they must not have told the old man about it. ”
"As for the wand, well, I think I just had a meal with him the other day, and sponsorship isn't so easy to get. Lucius seemed to remember something.
"Who is he?" asked Narcissa.
"The top boss of those two guys just now is looking for investment everywhere for an activity fund. Lucius said with a smile.
"Oh. Narcissa seemed to have lost all her strength, and slumped in her chair, as if completely relieved. Lucius has made it clear enough.
"I'm also a backstage person. Seeing this, Malfoy was mentally prepared, judging from Lucius's extremely protective personality, it should have been a scene just now.
"Besides, our little ones are almost able to cast spells without a wand. As she spoke, Lucius patted Malfoy on the shoulder, a look of pride.
"Let's not talk about those things, let's talk about other things. Lucius digressed from what seemed unpleasant.
"How did you torture that Muggle? Petrification Charm? Well, the letter said you used a Stun Charm. Lucius was clearly more interested in that. "Torture a Muggle, how can you put a stun spell on him, then he won't feel pain or fear. You should ......" Lucius then began to talk about how he tortured Muggles, and began to "teach Malfoy by word and deed".
He then said in a tone of admiration: "Finally, Muggle expulsion of the site so that Muggles avoid discovering the scene is quite good, very cautious. He patted Malfoy on the shoulder as if encouragingly, and said, "It's really my Lucius son." ”
"Alright, stop talking about your. Narcissa interrupted Lucius, her mood much better, and her tone lightened. "Baby, you must be tired today, you have to go back to school tomorrow, go to bed, you have to get up early." ”
"Yes, Mother. Malfoy, apparently uninterested in the torture "torture", turned and headed for his room.
"I haven't told him the Unforgivable Curse yet. Lucius patted his head in annoyance and watched Malfoy go back to his room, and Lucius's mood also fell.
"Do you want our son to go for a walk around Azkaban?"
"No, no, no. Lucius hurriedly denied. "I won't say it, I won't say it. Then he laughed awkwardly.
"It's just an introduction, and it doesn't teach him. Lucius muttered.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing. Lucius spread his hands to show his innocence.
When night fell, there was silence in Malfoy Manor, and there was no word for the night.
