228. The detective goes to quarrel

Reistrade had previously accepted the Malfoys' invitation to be a guest on their estate, and this was probably the first time the Malfoys had accepted Muggle visitors, and Lucius knew what his ancestors would say, but what was more important than the Malfoys' prosperity and prosperity.

Ancestors are ancestors' business, their time has passed, and Lucius doesn't want to wait until he is also hung on the wall and his descendants are secretly talking about him who led Malfoy from glory to trough, let alone leaving a broken Malfoy family for his precious son.

Anyway, there is one person who has to bear a name, and that is him.

He asked the house-elf to go back early and inform Narcissa about his invitation to the Lestrade family, and she needed to get his wife to prepare the relevant matters in advance, depending on the time, they might need to let the Lestrade family stay overnight, and the guest room needed to be prepared in advance.

Narcissa only raised an eyebrow when she heard the elf's words, as Lucius's wife she would always support her husband's decision, and as a former Black and now Malfoy, she thought her husband was brave, and he made some steps that pure-blood families would not dare to take.

Then she saw Narcissa stand up and clap her hands, and called the elves of the house to prepare the food and the guest room, and she needed to change her clothes to greet their guests.

Dobby shuddered when he heard that the Harry Potter family was coming to visit, and he thought to himself if his masters were going to attack the Harry Potter family. He couldn't disobey his master's orders, so he immediately disappeared before Narcissa's eyes, and he decided that if anyone tried to hurt someone who Harry Potter cared about, he would definitely resist.

In fact, Lucius's invitation to Lestrade in front of Dumbledore is also a reminder, he and Dumbledore are not a cooperative relationship after all, and helping Dumbledore this time is actually a sign that the Malfoy family is taking a step in the direction of Dumbledore, what does Dumbledore think Lucius doesn't know, but he wants to remind Dumbledore that the current Malfoy is an important friend of the Restrider family, and the Restrider family is equal to Harry Potter If he wants to move their family, he also has to think about acting.

Since he could not be apparitioned here, Lucius left Hogwarts with Lestrade after saying goodbye to Dumbledore, and Mycroft thanked Lucius for his invitation. In fact, the cooperation between the two families, or the relationship of friends, was what Mycroft wanted, and for Lestrade, he was not very interested in these things in the wizarding world. And if Mycroft wants to know more about the wizarding world, he needs a partner to work with, a guide.

However, he was still very happy to be a guest in a purely magical family, and he heard that those very old pure-blood families like Malfoy would have a lot of interesting things, but the fact that they didn't bring any gifts made Lestrade feel a little uncomfortable, and the first time she came to the door without a gift, she always felt a sense of rudeness.

Because only Lucius could use Phantom Shift, Lucius didn't dare to let him use this kind of magic even if he trusted Merlin, after all, Phantom Shifter was very dangerous if it was not controlled well.

However, Lucius also has a way, the apparition speed is very fast, and he can ask the elves in the house to help, just like he brought the Lestrade family to Hogwarts before.

This illusionary magic is something that Lestrade is somewhat liked, although it causes vertigo and nausea. Mycroft prefers to follow the normal rules of movement, and his face is a little pale, as if it was the discomfort of the apparition. Lestrade looked at the pale Mycroft and took his hand, "My, are you okay?" โ€

Mycroft nodded and held Reestrade's hand and interlocked his fingers with this person, no problem, he was just a little uncomfortable, he was used to showing affection like two people, and they looked at the two people walking in front of them with a smile. However, I have to admit that the love between Lestrade and Mycroft has affected their little ghosts in the future, and love is love in their hearts, no matter what kind of identity the person they love is male or female, as long as they are identified, they will definitely protect him to the end.

Malfoy Manor has manor magic and refuses to apparition, so they were picked up by carriage after stopping at the door of Malfoy Manor.

Narcissa was already waiting at the door of the mansion by this time, and she looked at her husband and the Lestrade family as they got out of the carriage, and smiled lightly, which was the standard Malfoy smile, and it seemed to have a hint of arrogance and politeness in it.

Narcissa looked at Lestrade and her lips twitched, "Welcome to Malfoy Manor." โ€

Lestrade and they came to Narcissa a gentleman's manners, Narcissa was wearing a cumbersome long dress today, with her hands crossed on her abdomen, and after the little Lestrades greeted her, she made a welcome jewelry, she was now on the same side as Lucius, Lucius and Narcissa did not seem to have any intimate movements, except that he gently wrapped his arms around Narcissa's waist/limb so that his wife could rely on him.

Narcissa glanced at Lucius, that glance contained a lot of affection, she squeezed Lucius's hand and she would support her husband no matter what she did, Lucius kissed Narcissa's sideburns, he loved this man and his wife.

It was rude for the Lestrades not to look at the mansion, but it was certain that it was very quaint, and seemed to be a certain age, and the house-elves brought them refreshments after they had sat down on the couch.

The house-elves bowed to their guests and immediately retreated, and by this time the Malfoys had already entered, and the two of them sat down on the exclusive sofa, Narcissa looked at the guests sitting next to her and smiled and said, "I was surprised when Lucius told me to invite you over, but welcome to our world." โ€

Reestrade looked at Narcissa and replied, "Thanks to the invitation of the Malfoy family. โ€

Narcissa looked at Lucius and naturally shook his hand, "We thought about inviting you before, and we took the liberty of inviting you to Hogwarts this time. โ€

The invitation was sudden, but it seemed like a quick trip to the Lestrades.

Narcissa is worthy of being the eldest lady from the Black family, and her demeanor and speech make Lestrade think of the aristocratic ladies who are mentioned in the book many years ago, and the clothes on her body are very different from the current eldest ladies.

Narcissa was very concerned about why they were called to Hogwarts, and Lucius also gave her a brief explanation of this matter, it was the legendary Slytherin secret room, the door of the secret room was opened again, and the monsters inside were released, which was also mentioned in Draco's family letter before, and this time the three children of the Lestrader family plus their Draco and a Muggle wizard Granger and the youngest child of the Weasley family, A few people got the basilisk and caught the culprit of the whole thing.

When Narcissa subconsciously grabbed Lucius, as if asking if there was anything wrong with Draco in her house, Lucius patted her hand and shook her head, just then the elf came to tell them that dinner was ready and they could eat.

Lucius stood up and said to Lestrade and Mycroft, "Draco has been saying that your food is good since Harry's birthday party last time, so I hope you can enjoy the food made by the house-elves." โ€

In fact, house-elves must be more delicate, but there is a little cooking that should be full of love, only the best food made with heart is the best, which Harry mentioned more than once, because compared to the exquisite food in Hogwarts, he missed the food from Lestrade and Hannibal more.

However, they still had a good meal, and the etiquette on the Malfoy family's table also belonged to the type of food and silence, as long as there was nothing that could not be spoken, they would never speak, and the Lestrade family followed this etiquette with them.

After Narcissa let go of her worries about Draco, she began to look at Raven today, little Raven was much taller than she had seen before, more beautiful than before, she sat there eating the food on her plate like her brothers, and looked up at Narcissa and smiled when she saw her looking at her.

To be honest, if it weren't for the right age and bloodline, Narcissa actually hoped that Raven could be her daughter-in-law.

Even if the Malfoys were able to cooperate with Muggles, they would not tolerate the destruction of their bloodline, and it was impossible for a Muggle to become the wife of the next Malfoy family master. Narcissa felt a little lonely in her heart, she was actually a little bored at home alone every day, and she wished that she could have a child by her side, and she didn't know what to envy Lestrade and McCroft very much about this.

Their home is full of laughter, as Draco has said, Draco said that it doesn't conform to the rules of the pure-blood family but can feel the happiness of the family, they like to do their own things, but when someone speaks or Lestrade appears, the little Lestrades will put down the conversation and look at it and give them attention.

Laughter doesn't mean there are no rules, which is probably one of the reasons why Draco still likes the Lestrade family.

Because dinner was eaten relatively early, there were no televisions or computers in a family like Malfoy, and Harold even found that there was no signal here, and it was like a paradise. Helpless, Harold could only put away his mobile phone, and forget it as if he was on an isolated island.

Narcissa called Raven to her side after enjoying the dessert after the meal, she really wanted to dress Raven beautifully, so she couldn't help but look at her husband, Lucius showed a sincere smile, his wife, the eldest lady who was spoiled by the lady of the Black family, actually had a childlike heart, otherwise she would not have dressed up as a girl when Draco was young.

He nodded at Narcissa, as a man who loved his wife, he couldn't refuse any of Narcissa's requests.

Narcissa eventually took not only Raven but also Tony and Merlin, who she thought was probably the youngest of the three who needed to be rushed, and they would love the magical toys that Draco had played with at their age.

As for the rest of the little Lestrade and the two adults plus a Malfoy, they all had their own actions, Harold, Hannibal and Will said that they could take a look at some books about the wizarding world in the room, and they were idle anyway, so Lucius asked the elf to take them back to the room, and by the way, they brought some books that might be of interest to them.

None of the three of them said anything about the study, because a family's study is a very private place, and many people like to talk about things or work in the study, so there must be something related to ** in it.

In the end, there were only three adults left, and Lestrade had no interest in the conversations of Malfoy and McCroft, so Lucius suggested that he could wander around the mansion and that the elves would guide him.

The Malfoy manor has a long history, in fact, both in terms of decoration and his furnishings, it is very luxurious, and it seems that each generation of owners has spent a lot of money. Lestrade followed in Dobby's footsteps and wandered around the mansion, and from the way Lestrade looked, he had the feeling of visiting a museum.

Dobby cautiously led the way, and sometimes he would take a few steps and look back at Lestrade, as if he had something to say, and finally Lestrade noticed the strange Dobby and said, "I remember your name ...... Is Dobby yes? โ€

"Yes, Potter's father remembers my name?"

"Of course, you're so special."

It was indeed special, because Lestrade had never seen any so-called house-elves before except Dobby, and Dobby was a little shy because of Lestrade's words, and he lowered his head and stepped on his right foot with his left foot.

"Why did Potter's father come here?"

"Probably because your master and Mycroft have something to say."

Lestrade shrugged, whatever the invitation was for didn't matter to him, to be honest, Lestrade didn't care about those dark political struggles, and he wasn't unsmart just didn't like those things. has been sitting in the position of inspector for so many years, how can Lestrade really be a novice.

Dobby grabbed his ears with his hand as if to punish himself, because he had said bad things about his master, and Lestrade patted Dobby's head and said, "Actually, you are not fit to be a real house-elf, I think you deserve to be free." โ€

Because he is special, such a bondage is a burden for both him and the Malfoy family, and Dobby is an elf who can be used by people at any time โ–กโ–ก.

"I think if Mycroft had spoken, Lucius would have agreed."

What to open your mouth for? Dobby was in a daze after that, and he didn't know why he didn't understand what Potter's father had just said.

Besides, Narcissa has three of the youngest, Lestrade, Narcissa has her own lounge, even if they are husband and wife, they respect each other's private lives, this lounge not only has Narcissa's favorite sofa, but also some memories of Narcissa's preservation of Draco and Lucius.

And Narcissa is now going to take the three little ones to the lounge, at the beginning Raven they followed Narcissa's side, Narcissa didn't make any appearance of reaching out to hold Raven, but after walking a distance, Raven pulled the corner of her clothes, Narcissa stopped her steps and tilted her head to look at the lovely Raven, and then Raven gave her a bright smile and stretched out her little white/tender hand to Nacissa.

"Hold."

Narcissa's heart melted at this time, Raven was already very beautiful, at this time she stretched out her hand and looked up to show a smile with eight teeth, making her look like a little angel, Narcissa stretched out her right hand and carefully held Raven's left hand, she could feel the warmth of Raven's little hand, Narcissa pursed her lips and was really a little cuter than her daughter.

In fact, the daughter is indeed cute, but this may not be very compatible with the current Raven, followed by Merlin and Tony, you look at me, I look at you, what Raven is like, they know, if she is coquettish to strangers, it must be for something.

Raven had been taught well by Hannibal, and it was possible that Raven would be a little bit of a union between them after Harry.

The things in the wizarding world are really very interesting, and Merlin used to build them with magic when they were playing with the blocks, but the blocks in the wizarding world can be completed according to their own hearts. And the chubby, flying dragon, with flames in his mouth, spun around them again and again, like a little train in their world.

Raven was taken to the cloakroom by Narcissa, where she picked and chose to find a dress that would fit Raven, but she thought each one was a little ugly with Raven, and finally she thought of a small dress that she had made for Draco, because Draco was already able to resist at that time, so she couldn't let her do it, and she was pressed in the box ever since.

The dress was honestly very beautiful, it was inlaid with white crystals, it was a fluffy princess dress, and by the way, there were crystal slippers and crowns worn by princesses, all of which were made according to the princesses in fairy tales in the wizarding world.

The legendary princess who lived in Merlin's time.

When Raven appeared in front of Merlin and Tony in a white princess dress, the two of them applauded very much, and said that Raven was very cute and beautiful, and even Merlin stepped forward to give Raven a blue rose.

Raven accepted the flower with a smile, no matter how much she trained her heart to become stronger, in fact, Ruiwen was still a girl in essence, and the advantages or disadvantages of Aimei could not be concealed.

While Narcissa was laughing and laughing, Dobby made a mistake and took Lestrade to the place where the ancestors of the Malfoy family were painted, because the wizarding world is very different from theirs, so there is a trace of the soul of the previous leaders of the Malfoy family in these portraits.

When they saw an indecent Muggle standing in front of them, the portraits were going to explode, and they first widened their eyes, honestly, a Muggle?! There were Muggles in their home, something that hadn't happened in hundreds of years for the Malfoys.

They looked at Reestrade as he blew his beard and glared, but Reestrade didn't know what they meant, so he stepped in and looked at the clamouring portraits.

Dobby knew that he was in trouble and wanted to leave with Lestrade, and Lestrade probably guessed something, from the names of their frames, these should be the heads of the Malfoy family.

Lestrade knew that this kind of place could not be stayed for long, and he wanted to leave, but he did not expect that the ancestor of the Malfoy family would say to him: "It is really a misfortune for a Muggle to appear in our mansion!" โ€

"Lucius is leading us to destruction!"

"Muggles have left our territory, and the air you have made us breathe has become muddy."

Originally, Lestrade really wanted to go, but when he heard this, he stopped his steps, and when he turned his head, he straightened his face and looked like he was asking about the prisoner, he had heard that the Malfoy family was a so-called pure-blood family, so he was quite repulsive to them. So before he came, Lestrade had already made a plan, and he had to finish the show no matter what.

Who knew that the Malfoy family would indeed be really interested in the next step of their development, and such a development would definitely affect the Malfoy family's status among the purebloods, but in the long run, this is the most profitable thing.

"You guys are really a bunch of old fools, although I don't know why you are still hanging here, but I think you guys who seem to be inferior to goldfish still lit a handful of burns early, and the rest of them have been hanging here to take care of their families."

If two people have been together for a long time, one person will subconsciously imitate the appearance of the other, Lestrade is not a poisonous tongue, but this time he really can't stand it, Lucius does want to use Harry and them, but he is at least brave enough to take the first step, and these will only play tricks to blame his offspring for their mistakes. So Lestrade can be regarded as a McCroft at this moment, and those words are all heart-wrenching.

The portraits of the ancestors of the Malfoy family were choked up, no one had ever dared to accuse them like this, and that was the rule of the Malfoy family, what right did a hateful lowly Muggle have to point fingers at them.

"What qualifications do you think I have?" After being debunked, the faces of those portraits became even worse, and Lethrie Deheng laughed and said: "I really don't have any qualifications, but I just can't get used to it, if you don't like it, then refute me." I see that the current head of the house is fortunately not one of you, and if one of you Malfoys is not what it is now, I guess it will not be left without a house, and I guess there will be no place to hang you. โ€

Lestrade made a gesture of spreading his hands, to be honest, which look is actually very underwhelming, and there is only one person who usually likes to do this, Sherlock Holmes. Every time he did that, Lestrade wanted to go up and punch him and tell him to shut up.

"The Malfoy family is only going to get brighter."

An old man with platinum hair opened his mouth, and Lestrade was glad that these people were portraits and would not faint from anger.

"Yes, it is time to invite you down to help the current head of the family, and then see how your family has come to an end with your help."

Lestrade didn't give them time to refute, he looked at the portraits and touched his chin and said: "No wonder the last time Sherlock commented that Donovan had long hair and short knowledge, I finally see what it means at this time, tsk, you might as well be a woman from the beginning, otherwise you won't command your descendants step by step to lead your family to destruction." โ€

There were already portraits who turned their heads and decided not to stop Lestrade's words, they had never seen such an impolite and lowly Muggle, it was he who broke into their territory first, and in the end they were the ones who were dumbfounded by what he said, it was really a shame.

"Besides, the current head of the family just did the right thing to adapt to the times, you really thought it was many years ago, I remember that there are fewer and fewer purebloods left in the wizarding world now, I think it won't be long before one of your children marries his sister or sister, and the marriage of close relatives will only make the next generation more deformed."

It would be dangerous if all the families were in this way, but Lestrade was also exaggerating everything, he just wanted to stimulate these portraits of the old and the old.

"You're cursed!"

"No, no, no, this is called stating the facts, if all the families were like you, Malfoy would definitely be eliminated, just like the current electronic products, which will be replaced very quickly."

Stating facts, exaggerated statements of facts.

"According to the ratio of wizards to ordinary people, half out of every ten young wizards are from your so-called Muggle world, and as Muggles grow, it is normal for wizards to disappear and you are replaced."

The more Lestrade spoke, the more terrifying it became, so that these portraits didn't know how to refute them. Lestrade sighed at these people, but they are used to those ancient rules of survival, so they are not willing to make any changes.

After all, it's just old and stubborn.

If possible, Lestrade would love to take these old diehards to see what the outside world is like.

"You're not really stupid, are you? If you are really stupid, you must not understand whether what the current head of the family is doing is right or wrong, and I broke in rashly and disturbed your rest, I apologize here. โ€

No matter how it was, it was Lestrade who bothered people first, so it was normal to apologize, and he didn't go to help Lucius, but if Lucius listened to his ancestors, all the qiฤ“ that their family had arranged to enter the magical world in the future would be in vain.

After all, Lestrade is still in Lestrade's own family.

Lestrade didn't care what the portraits were talking about afterwards, and there were some places he hadn't visited.

Dobby was almost looking at Lestrade with the stars now, and those words just now were so powerful that even those who had been loyal to the ancestors of this family were powerless to refute it.

In fact, Lestrade himself was relieved, he was just learning from Mycroft and Sherlock, and those words were said without thinking about it, but it was simply that those portraits also belonged to people who were relatively simple in terms of mouth cannons, which made him speak to the end.

It was because of the quarrel between Lestrade and the portraits, when Lucius was about to go to his ancestors to explain something, he met them for the first time, and Lucius, who was confused, learned that it was Lestrade who quarreled with the portraits of his ancestors, and was won, and those Malfoys were depressed.

But in fact, it is not only depression but also thinking, the words substitution, deformity, extinction and stupidity have always been around them, is it really a little bit that the Malfoys need to rely on Muggles to go to higher places?

Lucius said that the little wizards in the Muggle family were his targets, but it was also an indisputable fact that he was associated with Muggles.

Lucius rubbed his temples as he lay on the bed/and talked to Narcissa about today's events, he had always thought that Lestrade was a man who didn't have much opinion, who knows...... It was an eye-opener today.

"Do you ask what Dobby said exactly?"

Lucius nodded, and when Dobby talked about Lestrade, he was all worshipping, and he had already told him what he had to say, although Lestrade's words were very vicious, but they were just some facts, and the facts that their family might have to face.

In fact, Lestrade did not say that one day Muggle things will be integrated into their world in large numbers, and the wizarding world cannot live in his own world forever, he needs to contact the outside world to learn from other people's strengths.

So it was really a matter of time before Muggle stuff came into their world.

If the Ministry of Magic gets the currency rights to the Muggle world, then the only thing that will benefit in the end is that the Ministry of Magic and the family will not have any contact, but if it is a certain family that seizes this opportunity.

Mycroft promised Lucius a promise that he would be the one with the right to currency if Muggle things entered the wizarding world in the future.

Lucius reluctantly believed in McCroft's credibility.

"Our ancestors probably hated us to death, and it was taboo to bring Muggles to our estates."

Narcissa patted Lucius on the shoulder soothingly, she was there anyway, wasn't there?

"Actually, the reason why I invited them also had something to do with the power shown by Merlin Lestrade in the afternoon, who made the flowers bloom on the two of our favorite lawns at Hogwarts, in an instant."

Narcissa didn't feel any surprise, because Merlin had just conjured a rose out of thin air to Raven.

"So you mean ......"

"We know what Merlin means, and I'm wondering if Merlin Lestrade has any secrets."

Merlin's name is indeed special, and it is because of this special that Merlin has become a person that everyone values in the future.

"I think it's only this one that's more powerful than the average little wizard."

Lucius smiled and shook his head, he kissed Narcissa on the cheek and whispered, "But dear Sissi, have you ever wondered why these clever and special little wizards are in the Lestrade family?" โ€

In addition to Saul Odinson, the son of the Lestrade family, Harry, Loki, and Merlin all showed their powerful side, not like the side of ordinary young wizards, but such a side is a bit strange to be concentrated in a one's home.

Narcissa closed her eyes and sighed, this kind of thing is really unclear, why so many powerful little wizards are from the Lestrade family, she came into contact with the three little ones of the Lestrade family, Tony and Raven are indeed ordinary Muggles without any traces of magic, and after a good comparison, he thinks that Merlin is indeed not like an ordinary little wizard, he is even more powerful.

"My dear will always get better, even if you think about it a lot, you don't have a problem."

Hearing his wife's words, Lucius shook his head, and he began to wonder if there was something in Lestrade's house that could enhance magic, or else Harry and the three of them would not appear, but after seeing Thor, Lucius would still dispel this idea from time to time.

When Lestrade and McCroft told him that he had quarreled with the Malfoy ancestors, Mycroft kissed him on the lips and said, "Well done." โ€

Probably Lestrade would be so arrogant to quarrel with the paintings of the Malfoy family's ancestors, and such things could not be separated from the spoiling of McCroft.

In the words of Mycroft, a lover is for petting.
