Chapter Seventy-Eight: Grounding and Waiting

Compared to Ron and Harry, who were able to continue shopping and chatting in Diagon Alley, Malfoy's luck was not so good. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He'd been grounded since the Dementor incident that day.

There was an accident in the Gringotts vault, and there was a Dementor invasion. Malfoy hid it from his parents, and Fudge told Narcissa both of them, presumably out of revenge or something.

This naturally frightened Narcissa, who doted on the child, for a long time.

Unfortunately, due to Malfoy's negligence, the owl returned empty-handed, and the promised letter was not delivered on time, even though Fudge said that he had seen his child intact, Narcissa was terrified.

In addition, Malfoy solved too many things that day and delayed a lot of time, so for the sake of the end of the holiday, Narcissa gave her son a grounded "punishment", and in the last days of the holiday, her sweetheart still stayed at home until school started.

This time Lucius didn't object, these days are indeed a bit uneven, not to mention the frequent accidents in Gringotts, Sirius Black's escape from prison has stirred up a lake that is otherwise calm and waveless, he doesn't want his son to be exposed to the eyes of some murderer at any time, even if he knows that Black's target may be someone else.

For this kind of treatment, Malfoy can only choose to accept it, the most critical points of this holiday plan have been completed, and it is no problem to stay at home for a few days.

He took the time to study the Vanishing Cabinet that he had brought back from the Burkinbock store, and did some experiments, such as throwing something into it, waiting to be verified when he returned to Hogwarts, and if it was broken, he had to find a way to fix it.

Then there's the preparation of the books.

When Malfoy saw in the principal's letter of opening that the list of books that needed to be prepared actually included "The Monster Book of the Monsters". He guessed that Dumbledore probably helped Hagrid clear his name, and he didn't care what method he did.

A person like Hagrid who keeps up with a good person, like Dumbledore, is a good person, but if he keeps up with a bad person, then he will also become a bad person.

His IQ was not good enough to tell the difference between right and wrong in his actions, and his only virtues were loyalty and the foolish kindness that had been influenced by Dumbledore.

Did he do any less stupid things against school rules?

Who would have imagined that a normal student would keep an eight-eyed giant spider as his pet, and even humans would not be able to restrain their desires, but he expected a spider to keep their agreement not to hunt humans? That is, Voldemort himself acted first, otherwise the unjust case might really become an ironclad case.

As for hatching dragon eggs without permission, not to mention acts such as raising dragons, if Dumbledore hadn't really taken precautions and guessed that he might have leaked his mouth, then the Philosopher's Stone really couldn't have been stolen.

As a teacher, when I was not completely sure, I introduced the dangerous creature of the Hippogriff to the students, and there was no corresponding way to deal with the students after they were injured, but helplessly asked the students around me for help, "Who can help me?"

In a Muggle school, even if a student doesn't listen to the teacher in chemistry class and causes an accident, the teacher won't be at a loss, right?

"Alas, what a boring course. Malfoy was a little disappointed at the thought that he might have to put up with all the hybrid monsters Hagrid had created in the future, because it wasn't a course to enjoy, either in terms of the course itself or the level of the teacher.

"Perhaps his best fit for the Ministry of Magic would be to breed dangerous species. Malfoy thought of the large nest of snails that Hagrid had casually created, a dangerous species that had been used to test the Warriors with the Goblet of Fire, and that might have been a great success if it could be used as a grenade-like to fight the Death Eaters.

But it is estimated that when he really wants to contribute these creatures, he may cry and cry and give up those "children".

As he pondered, an owl flapped its wings and stopped on his desk, reminding him that he hadn't cleaned up his letters for a long time.

The nutritional supplements sent by relatives who had been close to the family after hearing that they were injured, or the letters of condolence sent by their followers at the behest of their elders, were placed in his private warehouse by the housekeeper of the manor, and of course there were some unknown items that Malfoy had ordered privately.

For example, the large iron cage in front of him, which was completely black and made of special magic materials, its texture and shape style were obviously the products of the goblins, and Malfoy felt that his body, whether it was physical action, or the operation of the magic power in his body, was somewhat blocked.

"I just don't know when this can be rented?" he thought of these rules of the goblins, when the goblins "lend" the items they had crafted to the wizard, the time to take them back was the time when the wizard died, and when the wizard died, the lease between them ended.

Although the elves themselves believe in this truth, most human wizards will not buy their accounts, which should be one of the irreconcilable contradictions between races.

In Gringotts, he wants to buy more than just a goblin, he is one of the few humans working in it, and he can't let himself be isolated, so studying the culture of goblins also takes up a lot of his time.

Scanning through the meaningless, cookie-cut letters, Malfoy realized that he had read them, which made him wonder a little.

"Where are you going?" Usually Pansy would write him a letter and make an appointment to meet somewhere. We went shopping and shopping together, but this time there was no unusual one, and since last semester when he stepped on the train back to school, he felt that Pansy was a little different, but he couldn't say it.

"Let's make an appointment. Malfoy sighed and sat down at his desk, carrying his quill and slowly leaving his own handwriting on the parchment.

Malfoy's promise to the Ministry of Magic was not to be believed in a word, and he was not at ease with the fact that Dementors without effective restraint could engage in angry predation at any time.

So he felt that Pansy was safer by his side, and even if he only used a partial Patronus charm, it should be fine to chase away the Dementors.

"Good. ”

Malfoy received a reply that night, but a word on the letter hurt him a little, even if she was arrogant, but her attitude would not be so cold.

"It's a headache. Thinking about some of the events that might happen in the coming year, Malfoy felt that he couldn't be at ease anyway.
