Chapter 59: Which Side Are You On?

"It's just a prank......"

"Protest, this is a terrorist attack."

"Little Mr. Black, are you on the Muggle side?"

"No, I'm on the side of justice."

-- "Prophet Entertainment" reported for you.

"It's obviously a simple prank, but Muggles are too delicate." One wizard said, "Come on, if you dare to open a company in Diagon Alley, you have to adapt to life in the wizarding world." ”

"Adapting to life in the wizarding world doesn't mean you should adapt to gratuitous discrimination and attacks."

Mrs. Weasley publicly supported Daniel, indignantly saying in the newspaper, "You white-eyed wolves, have you forgotten how good little Mr. Black is to you?" At such a time, he actually said such cool words. ”

-- "Prophet Life" reported for you.

"The wizards, led by the head of the Nott family, have been arrested and imprisoned for their conflict with the Muggles of Diagon Alley last night, pending further verdicts from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement."

"The head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement thinks this is just an ordinary prank."

"On the other hand, Mr. Daniel Black always insisted: it was a wizarding terrorist attack on Muggles. To that end, he also stated that if the decision of the Division of Magical Law Enforcement was not satisfactory to him, he would appeal again to the Wizengamot** Court for a fair decision......"

-- The Prophet News

It was an unprecedented, public exposure, direct clash between Muggles and wizards.

"What the hell are you doing!" Lucius Malfoy threw a stack of newspapers in front of Daniel in a rage.

He stroked the snake staff in his hand, stared coldly at the man in front of him, who could be said to have been brought into the British wizarding world by himself, tried his best to suppress his anger, and whispered: "Bring Muggles into the wizarding world, and now you want to declare war on the Ministry of Magic for the sake of Muggles?" ”

"Why not?" Daniel's expression remained unchanged, sitting on the sofa as steady as Mount Tai, he casually stretched out his hand, picked out a few long newspapers casually, flipped through them roughly, and then let out a sneer: "Most of them are useless, they are whitewashing." And, Lucius, what are you angry about? That guy Knott has always been short-sighted and jealous, so he didn't bother you less, right? I'm biting him now, isn't it just right for you to clean up his family? ”

"We are indeed competitors." Lucius said in a cold tone, "But we are all purebloods, Daniel. ”

"So, the rabbit dies and the fox is sad?" Daniel used a sarcastic tone, much to Lucius's surprise.

"You don't seem impressed?" Lucius' eyes narrowed dangerously, "Daniel, I never seem to have asked you where you stand. You fooled me before? You're not on the side of the aristocracy, you're also a pro-Muggle faction? ”

"I don't want to quarrel with you." Daniel replied calmly, "But who sues you that I'm pro-Muggle?" ”

"You want to send Nott to Azkaban just because he attacked Muggles."

"Then why did he attack Muggles?"

"Do pure-blood nobles need a reason to attack Muggles?" Lucius let out a short laugh, and then, under Daniel's almost sharp blue eyes, he frowned and added, "Well, maybe...... That Muggle stole his business, he opened a custom clothing store, but he didn't buy the fabric made by the Nott, damn it! That's not right for that Muggle in itself. ”

"Oh? What did he do wrong? ”

"He shouldn't be living in the wizarding world."

"Where he lives is not under our control, only the government. In fact, Diagon Alley has never forbade Muggles from entering ......"

"That's different!"

"It's no different." Daniel replied, "If you speak the law, it is illegal for wizards to attack Muggles for no reason; If not according to the law, then, it is even more regrettable that the great Mr. Knott lost to the Muggles. ”

"That shit! What exactly do you want to do, what exactly do you want to do, Daniel? ”

"It's not what I want to do, it's what you want to do, Lucius." Daniel stood up and looked at him directly, the black hair peculiar to the Black family hung down on the sides of his handsome face, and those blue eyes contained very deep feelings, he stretched out his arm, put it on Lucius's shoulder, and said gently, "Why don't you trust me more, Lucius, for Sissi's sake." Don't ask me, ask yourself first, what do you want to do? Rebuilding the Malfoy family's 100-year glory? Lead Malfoy to the top of the wizarding world? These, from the day you graduate from Hogwarts, you start trying, but you don't succeed. ”

"Ha, is the great Black Master laughing at me?"

"No, I said earlier, if one road doesn't work, change the other, there will always be failures in life, why laugh?"

"It's easy to say the other way. Well, what do you think? After my failure to follow an orthodox Slytherin, an exotic wizard pops up again, whose turn is next? Muggles? What did you take Malfoy for? ”

"Brothers, loved ones, allies, people you can trust."

"Don't say anything nice."

"Then I'll say something nasty." Daniel said: "You know very well in your heart that sooner or later this situation in the wizarding world will change, otherwise, it will only go to extinction. ”

"You're exaggerating."

"But it's as straightforward as that. Think of the elves who have disappeared, and they can only disappear into the torrent of history. Choose, wait for death, or change to find a glimmer of life. As for getting rid of Muggles? Daniel sneered, "Don't talk about the proportion of the population, in terms of force alone, the head of the Nott family has pioneered for everyone, and lo and behold, the result is not bad, right?" ”

“Sonofbitch！”

Daniel raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Lucius, you still swear?" ”

"When faced with fools, disgrace and fools among the nobility, I regret that my poor linguistic gifts are no longer able to relieve my anger......" Lucius said grinding his teeth, and then, suddenly, he asked, "But those Muggles are not ordinary people, are they?" ”

"That's right."

"Who are they?"

"Hmm...... Briton. ”

"Daniel Black!"

"Yes."

"Can't you have a showdown now? Sue me, which side are you on? United States? United Kingdom? Sorcerer? Muggles? ”

Daniel laughed.

Then, he pulled over a chair and sat down with his legs crossed, "Why do people always like to ask me which side I'm on?" Lucius, I'm not standing anywhere, I'm only on my side. ”

Lucius Malfoy snorted coldly.

"Dear brother-in-law, don't be angry. I beg you, I beg you to broaden your horizons! Daniel said in a tone of immoral teasing, "What's so fun about leading the Malfoy family to the top of the wizarding world?" There is only such a place in the wizarding world, and there are so few people, so few...... Why did you try to lead the Malfoys to the top of England? Isn't that the real brilliance? ”

He turned his head, his blue eyes full of smiles, and said in a nonchalant tone: "Are you interested in the center of politics, a seat in the British House of Lords?" ”

"You really have a deal with the Muggle government." Lucius said in an unsurprising tone.

His expression at this time was extremely complicated, with irritability, forbearance, disgust, and a trace of hesitation.

He is a rare sober person among pure-blood nobles, so he has always been soberly aware that the wizarding world is coming to an end. Even his own family, the Malfoys, has been in decline for years.

Especially after the defeat of the mysterious man, Malfoy's power was long gone.

But in the end, with the glory of pure blood, with the pride of the family, calmly and stubbornly; Or is it really like Daniel said, working with Muggles to find a way out?

Tobe,ornottobe:thatisthequestion.

"I've got all the chips on the table." Daniel whispered to him and said, "Do you dare to take a gamble?" ”

Eventually, Malfoy muttered for a long time, glaring viciously at him before giving a difficult reply, "I need time to think about it." ”

Daniel smiled happily.

The so-called 'consideration' means that there is room for negotiation, and if Lucius directly turns his face and becomes furious, it will be too bad to be worse. So, compared to this, it's all good news.

"I can watch from the sidelines." Lucius leaned on the snake staff and said calmly: "But, old rules, I won't help you either." And, I'm sure the Ministry of Magic, as well as some of the nobles, will start to get you in trouble lately. ”

"I hope you don't capsize in the gutter, Daniel."

"Maybe ......"

When Lucius was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and said meaningfully: "Perhaps, after you win this game beautifully, I will consider it more 'solemnly'......" He said in an accentuated tone: "The proposal you proposed." ”

"Then you have to watch carefully, more than this time I will win." Daniel looked at him without flinching, and replied in an almost arrogant tone: "I will continue to win, always." ”

Malfoy didn't say anything more, he strode out of 12 Grimmauld Place, and the apparition moved out of the place.

Daniel stood in the doorway, looking calmly into the distance.

"Do you know what I like most about you, Honey?"

At this time, Moriarty slowly shook out of the small reception room next door, and he lazily stretched out his arms, put his arms around Daniel, and asked by his shoulder.

"Handsome?" Daniel raised an eyebrow and replied narcissistically.

"That's certainly a reason." Moriarty chuckled behind him, "Still, what I like the most is the way you talk nonsense, my dear." ”

"I'm not lying." Daniel replied calmly.

"Yes, you just threw out a delicious bait, but you didn't tell the fish how dangerous and difficult it is to eat the bait." Moriarty whispered in his ear, "I didn't expect you and Mycrof to make so many deals. Membership of the House of Lords...... Honey, let me see if you can still go that far? ”

"I don't have much to do with you when I do that." Daniel was very direct, "In fact, a lot of people asked me about my position today. ”

He stared at Moriarty thoughtfully, and then couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Actually, I'm also curious." Jim, do you have a stand? If so, which side would you prefer to be on? ”

Moriarty's eyes widened in surprise, "You're actually asking me?" I thought in your mind, my badass image had long been qualitative. ”

Daniel pouted: "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't want to say it, forget it, if you want to say it, say it quickly." ”

Moriarty stood up straight, touched his chin, and seemed to think seriously for a moment, "Every fairy tale needs a classic villain. But that's what I said to Sherlock. In fact......"

He said with rare candity: "Chaotic neutrality, my favorite." ”
