Chapter 68

Lucius looked at the torn letter in the envelope, and the expression on his face almost cried, but his upbringing did not allow him to make such an inappropriate move. After several attempts that failed to calm him down, Lucius had to try to remember the Occlumency technique that he couldn't learn.

As Malfoy's future heir, Lucius never thought he would need to use Occlumency. His upbringing and family background determined that he would not have to strongly hide his feelings one day, so when he first learned, he was just careless. He prefers aggressive spells to useless Occlumency.

But now, under the huge impact and pressure, this proud son of a pure-blooded family has completed the first brain occlusion in his life in an empty classroom that is no longer used.

After detaching his emotions and memories, Lucius finally calmed down and was able to use his brain to think clearly. It only took half a minute for him to put away his wand, prop up his robe, and calmly walked out of the empty classroom and walked towards the library, as if he wanted to smooth out the wrinkles that did not exist.

In the library, he found what he was looking for. Lucius walked over without any expression, and said to Gayle and Seaver, who were immersed in writing their papers, in the long tone he had always had, "Let's talk." ”

Gale looked up, a little surprised that Malfoy would be looking for him at this point. Well, it was Gail who knocked Malfoy unconscious. He thought Malfoy was either still reading the letter or trying to find a way to contact his father. But in fact, the other party immediately came to find him

Malfoy and Gale still spoke with a unique arrogance, but there was a certain certainty in it. This was not the same tone as Lucius usually spoke.

Gale was surprised by Malfoy's strong momentum, but he still looked at Severus. After Sever's slight affirmation, Gail smiled politely and said to Malfoy, "Then on the lawn behind the castle."

"Waiting for you." Malfoy turned and walked away, not stopping at all.

This little episode did not go unnoticed by others. Malfoy's voice was not high when he spoke to Gail and Seaver, so the other students in the library were still immersed in reading books or doing homework, and it was only Tuesday, and only students who liked to learn and expand their knowledge would come to the library, and they didn't have time to pay attention to what was going on in the outside world and just buried themselves in the books.

Gail and Seaver began to put away their books and papers after Malfoy left. Gale could already guess why Malfoy would come to him. He pouted and put everything away, taking Severus' hand and walking briskly out of the library.

"Why don't you let him wait for us on the edge of the Black Lake," Severus asked, looking at Gail's dull appearance, casually finding a topic.

Gail shook his head: "That's not good, it's a place we often go, and it should only be our own people." He wasn't Potter, he was the one who followed us. ”

From Gail's words, Severus discovered another personality trait of Gail, who likes to carve territory. For some reason, Seaver felt that Gail had this animal-like "my territory is not allowed to be invaded" trait, which was a little cute, and he couldn't help but wonder if Gail's head had hidden, shaggy ears.

The two of them soon reached the lawn behind the castle, about 200 meters away from the herb greenhouse. Malfoy turned, looked sharply at Gail, and asked in a slightly high tone, "Why did you give me those things what do you want to do?"

Gail had never seen Malfoy lose his temper before, and he was a little frightened. Severus was dissatisfied with Malfoy's tone of questioning Gale and him, and asked rhetorically on Gail's behalf with a frown: "Please explain something to the senior, we don't accept accusations without any reason." ”

Malfoy obviously didn't expect the two of them to admit it, he took a few deep breaths to calm his feelings that suddenly became intense after the release of the Occlumency, and began to analyze sharply: "I was knocked unconscious in Hogwarts, and then I was sent to an empty classroom, indicating that the person who knocked me unconscious was a classmate from school. I wasn't knocked unconscious by the spell, I was unconscious at the first hit. Let me think about who else has had this kind of experience before, Rothdorf, Avery Avery, that fool from the Carlos, Mars, Rabastan, Greengrass, all the people who have been with Bella to teach you a lesson. You can break your wand with your bare hands, and you know my schedule and walking routes. No one else in the school is capable of doing this kind of thing but you."

"Senior, what you say must be based on real evidence, this is just your one-sided words, and it's all your guess. It is said that there is no excuse for the sin of wanting to add, and you think that I knocked you unconscious, so you lean everything on me, isn't it? Gail shrugged his shoulders and folded his hands to Malfoy, "You can't accuse me of breaking my wand for once, I'm not someone to hurt my classmates." I'm not crazy, because I don't like anyone, so I gather a group of people to find trouble with a child who is six or seven years younger than me."

Faced with Gail's death of opening his eyes and telling nonsense, Malfoy was shocked that he had never seen such a brazen person, "What about the contents of the letter" Malfoy ignored Gail's sarcastic words about Bella again, and only asked questions around the letter, "No one will dare to do this except you"

"Ahh

Lucius remembered what his father had said to him, and felt that he probably didn't find the right way, so he was completely passive in the conversation with Gail, and was suppressed and restrained all the time. His brain had never been at such high speed as it had ever been at this moment.

The conversation between the three men reached an impasse, and they stood relatively silently on the lawn.

A gust of wind blew, and Gail fought a cold war, and the April wind still carried a hint of coldness. To prevent himself from catching a cold, Gale pulled out the wand he hung on his wrist and cast two warmth charms on himself and Seaver. Severus softened the expression on his face because of Gail's movements, but Malfoy also took out his wand as soon as Gale pulled out his wand, assuming a defensive posture, this is what Gale saw when he turned around.

"Senior, can I ask what you're going to do to us" Gail put away his wand, looking like a woman of a good family who was about to be raped, and pressed his hands on his shoulders with his hands crossed in front of his chest, making a gesture of self-protection.

Malfoy felt like he had probably used up all his life's anger today. Unexpectedly, he didn't communicate with the junior in front of him for more than a year, and his ability to stab people's hearts has reached a higher level. But the letter full of hints was in his arms, and Malfoy was not even qualified to care.

He put away his wand and said to Gale in a respectful manner, "Please, please," the only time he had asked anyone in all his years of admission to Hogwarts. Malfoy felt as if his self-esteem had been shattered, but at the same time something new had taken his place and had been established.

"Junior brother, please, please, tell me if what I said in the letter is true" After the first time he spoke, it didn't seem to be difficult to clearly express his wishes again.

Gail didn't expect Malfoy to do that. Grindelwald was able to be respectful to a yellow-haired boy like him because his experience, emotional intelligence, and IQ allowed this king to bend and stretch, which is an open-mindedness that only elders have. But Malfoy, a young and vigorous man, could swallow his anger and bow his head to the person who had a dirty relationship with him, to paraphrase the old saying, this son is not a thing in the pool.

Malfoy in the original book was obviously proud and arrogant until Voldemort fell and his family was liquidated by the Ministry of Magic, and he only saved himself from disaster. All the difficulties he encountered, except for the death of Abraxas, could be solved by his family background and wealth. This made him even less decisive than his wife, Narcissa.

But now it's different, his former pride has been shattered, but there are more important and better emotions built, and Malfoy's future will certainly not be the same as in the original book. That's a good thing.

In such a situation, Gail also put away his somewhat unserious expression and touched his nose in a wry. Malfoy's attitude was so sincere that he was embarrassed: "Don't worry, your father won't die until you graduate." But if you are close to graduation, your father's condition must be worsening. ”

Malfoy was silent, thinking about what Gale meant: "You mean, only when I graduate and am qualified to inherit the family business, my father will not have to save zài, right?"

"Yes." Gail nodded, "You should know that even the most talented person has to start from scratch when he first enters a certain field. And the elders who can guide you are powerless at this time, and the only thing you can rely on is Voldemort, whom your father has always supported. ”

Malfoy's breath frozes when he hears Gale call Voldemort's name. Before today, he had worshiped this strong man and made a lifelong wish to follow him, and felt that it would be disrespectful and blasphemous to call him by his name, but from today onwards, he would not. It's just that this habit takes a little time to revise.

"In order not to let your family fortune be eaten like a cake by other families, your best bet is to take your father's baton and continue to support Voldemort. Only this time, it's no longer just a small amount of liquidity, but a large amount of gold gallons, so that you can keep your industry intact with his deterrent power. I say that, do you understand" Gail was pleased with Malfoy's expression when he heard him call Voldemort by name, except for the first accident.

Malfoy bowed: "Yes, it's a good idea, isn't it a helpless junior who asks for help from his father's friend, as an elder, he naturally wants to lend a hand, and the price is the loyalty and support of this junior." Of course, if what the letter says is true, I think there is another reason, which is why my father must die. Malfoy drew inferences from him, saying, "His origins, his mystery and strength, only a dead man can keep a secret." I've heard that the previous head of the Bulströd family didn't leave a portrait, and I wonder if the others are the same. ”
