Chapter 12: Daniel's Decision

Daniel's movements were swift, and on the third day, after learning a little about most of the common knowledge of the British wizarding world, he immediately submitted a petition to the Department of International Magical Law Enforcement regarding the 'ownership of the Black family's inheritance'.

"You're too eager." Narcissa frowned and said that she was wearing a silver-white velvet robe today, with a pale complexion and long blond hair, which made her look as beautiful and noble as the goddess of the moon.

She was sitting on a soft couch,

"Nope! No! Daniel interrupted her, raised his finger and shook it, "Cousin Narcissa, you and I both understand that if I really sit at home obediently and leave everything to my cousin-in-law, the head of the Malfoy family, to deal with. Even if you are reassured, you will still be disappointed in me, and in the future, you will be completely hopeless about Blake. ”

Narcissa was stunned.

Daniel, who had always been obedient and obedient, suddenly stood up, walked up to her, knelt down on one knee, and then, he stretched out his hands, held Narcissa's hand tightly, and looked at her tenderly with the blue eyes that had fascinated countless women, "I know we are not very familiar with each other yet; I know it's going a little too fast; I also know that you don't trust me very much. But Sissi ......"

He said earnestly word by word: "We are all surnamed Black, and we have the same blood in our bodies. ”

Narcissa froze, and at this moment, she could barely maintain her former elegance and solemnity.

Time passed, and she seemed to be back to her youth, the beautiful and old Black House, surrounded by her relatives, and she didn't have to think about anything or do anything, just laugh with her sisters and watch Sirius play a prank.

How long had she not thought about Sirius?

The black-haired, rebellious, and antithetical man cursed the Black family as a 'dirty Death Eater colony'...... He thought that his life would be a stranger forever, but he quietly spared Lucius in an ambush battle.

Before he entered Azkaban, he looked at Narcissa with tired blue eyes, and said irritably and self-loathingly, "I just missed, I just missed...... I'll catch him next time......"

However, the next moment, he involuntarily said the same words.

The almost whispering, contradictory, whispered, "Sissi, we're all surnamed Black. ”

The two figures, obviously completely different personalities, overlapped together at this moment.

Narcissa jerked her hand over her lips, and the unprecedented intensity of love struck her heart.

Her eyes were wide and watery, and she tried to restrain the sudden surge of emotion, "You...... What do you want to do? ”

"I will not refuse the help of the Malfoy family master. However, as the future head of the Black family, it is not my style to wait for nothing. Daniel Black smiled and said, "I can give in, I can compromise, I can even give up something that doesn't matter." However, Mysister ......"

He said in a tone of faint impatience, "I can't let the wizarding world forget what the surname 'Black' represents, this ...... It was also my father's last wish. ”

Intense sunlight shone through the window, so dazzling that Cheng dΓΉ was a little dazzling.

Narcissa covered her eyes slightly, "Okay. She said in a calm tone, "Do what you want!" ”

"Ha......" She paused, and finally couldn't help but sneer, as expected, with some familiar sighs, "I should have known that there is really no good kind of person in the Black family. ”

"Of course." Daniel stood up again, "It's a pleasure to agree with you, Cousin Narcissa. ”

"I'll sue Lucius about this." Narcissa continued to say in a rational tone, "In the future, I will also try not to interfere with your decisions, but I hope you will let me see the results. ”

Daniel smiled and nodded, "Thanks, Narcissa." ”

The beautiful hostess clearly had no desire/desire to continue the conversation.

She stood up, the hem of her robe in a graceful arc, and while she beckoned the house-elf to brush the tea set to sparkle, she suddenly turned her head and said abruptly, "Dear cousin, are you sure that what you said before was not to avoid schoolwork...... You know. ”

She blinked, revealing a rare hint of girlish coquettishness, "The homework we talked about earlier in the Daily Prophet? ”

"Uh...... You guessed it. Daniel smiled cooperatively, "Copywriting is really not for me." I'm a wild horse. I need vast pastures and grasslands to run with the wind......"

"Tsk!" Narcissa gave him a disgusted look, "Man! ”

She left in a happy mood.

The serious man who didn't notice the fit behind him finally showed a 'relieved' expression.

'Don't want to do your homework' is just as fake as the previous excuse of 'don't want to be a vassal of the Malfoy family'.

The real reason was a text message from Mycroft that I received out of the blue last night:

If it is convenient, can you allow you to visit the magical world when it is safe to do so?

PS. The younger brother is smart and well-behaved, and will not add unnecessary trouble to you.

A bolt from the blue!

This brother is completely hopeless!

Smart, well-behaved?

The former still has a little bit of credibility, but where does the latter come from? That long face?

For the first time, Daniel discovered that it was really not a good thing to have a 'reliable boss who is reliable at all times, but his brother is a boss who is in big trouble'.

Sherlock Holmes, the big trouble that the whole of Scotland Yard hated and loved, is a good testament to Inspector Lestrade's deepening forehead lines.

Despite the fact that Daniel is from the United States (perhaps because of this, McCroft deludes himself into thinking that his family's Sherlock's name has not yet spread abroad and can be coaxed?). But his status as a time-traveler makes him know no less about the curly detective than anyone in Scotland Yard.

Daniel has a hundred reasons to stay away from this big trouble of welcoming trouble, creating trouble, and solving trouble while continuing to cause trouble.

However, behind Mycroft's often polite inquiries, there are hidden meanings: 'It must be achieved,' 'Find a way to achieve it,' 'I don't accept answers other than Yes,' and so on.

Daniel felt that he had better hurry up and try to establish some roots and contacts in the British wizarding world, so as to prepare for the messy troubles that would inevitably arise in the future.

There is no guilt at all for giving his subordinates a big problem.

In the afternoon, Mycroft was happily enjoying afternoon tea with a cup of coffee with a lot of sugar and a plate of small desserts.

After getting Daniel's no, not now. Wait for me for a while, and get ready', and then he became proud of his wise decision.

From this sentence, he has a keen insight into the dissatisfaction of his own subordinates (which can be ignored directly), and also vaguely perceives that this subordinate from the United States seems to have some knowledge of his younger brother, Sherlock (which is very strange).

After all, it's not a big deal for ordinary Muggles to visit the wizarding world, so-called preparation...... How do you feel like you're facing a great enemy? (This point needs to be investigated a little, and it doesn't feel like a big threat at the moment, so it can be ignored for the time being).

Indeed, he admits that the inquisitive Sherlock can sometimes be a disaster.

However, what are subordinates used for, isn't it just to let the leader squeeze and solve problems for the leader?

What's more, Daniel, this cunning guy! Don't think that hiding in the British wizarding world, he won't know those little tricks of 'passive slacking' and 'perfunctory'.

You'll have to add another fire.

The strategizing McCroft took a sip of sweet coffee: "People should be forced often to have the potential to explode." ”

He muttered to himself, "But is Sherlock so deterrent?" Even the wizards of America know? ”
