Chapter 018: Lucius Malfoy
Unbeknownst to him, this defensive magic had just opened, and a cloud of black smoke suddenly burst out less than four inches in front of Lucius, and the magic contained in it actually blew up this unfinished defensive magic directly.
"Ahh Narcissa and Draco exclaimed in unison, they had never expected magic to reach so close to Lucius.
Snape nodded in satisfaction, he knew that Catherine had been practicing the subtleties of magic since last Christmas, but he didn't expect her to do so well when it came to secrecy.
Lucius was a little annoyed by the fact that he nearly capsized in the gutter, and he slammed his staff on the ground, causing the air around him to writhe slightly, and Catherine's magic revealing their whereabouts.
Hundreds of black petals and leaves covered the territory between the two, the nearest being less than ten inches from Lucius.
"Humph!" Lucius snorted coldly, raised his staff and swung forward, and a golden serpent appeared out of thin air and pounced on Catherine.
Catherine turned her fingers without changing her face, and the black petals and leaves spun rapidly, cutting deep and long wounds on the golden serpent's body, but this could not stop the golden serpent's attack.
"Be careful!" Narcissa and Draco couldn't help but exclaim in unison, they didn't think Catherine would be able to take Lucius's angry blow.
Seeing that the golden serpent with its mouth wide open was about to bite her, Catherine just calmly patted the back of her left hand.
A flash of black light flashed, and the golden serpent slammed into the floor at Catherine's feet, scattering into a golden mist, leaving behind a foot-long branch.
"Flying flowers and picking leaves!" Narcissa shouted in shock, and Draco froze.
Flying flowers and picking leaves is a word from the ancient East, and in the wizarding world it is believed to give a huge amount of magic to small objects. If the sign of the seventh-order entry is the transformation of magic power, then the flying flowers and leaves are the signs of the seventh-order consummation, which means that it is only one step away from the eighth-order, and the wizard with the family inheritance can accept the inheritance of the family heir.
Thinking of this, the other three immediately looked at Catherine's hands, their right hand was empty, but their left hand was blocked. It is said that it is to cover up, but it needs to be seen to be believing, and it is said that it is a superfluous move, but it is expected by everyone.
The other three were all thinking about whether Catherine had gotten the Potter Family Inheritance Ring, and naturally they didn't notice it, and Lucius had no disbelief on his face at all.
When he first met Catherine, Lucius was impressed by her, and he really couldn't imagine that an eleven-year-old girl had a calm temperament that was not inferior to his own.
So he immediately went to collect information about the girl, and considering his friend's unusual affection for her, Lucius took them to Snape's house as soon as he got the information.
But Lucius really didn't expect that there were so many materials related to Catherine that he had already made a mess of Snape's living room before he had even seen a third of it.
The chaos in the living room made Snape angry, and the Muggles treated Catherine even more angrily, but Lucius spoke highly of her appearance, believing that the girl must be a pure Slytherin.
But when he received the message from the owl, he found that he had underestimated Catherine, who was a young version of the adult who was so beautiful that it was impossible to look at her.
Lucius still remembers the first time he met the adult, who had just returned from a study abroad and whose profound knowledge and elegant conversation fascinated him even though he was only six years old at the time, but he had already seen a lot, and he will never forget it.
His father asked him to be his personal tutor, something that Lucius is still proud of, but no matter how much he studied, he could not grasp his calmness and calmness that went deep into his bones.
He thought that he would never see such a graceful temperament again in his life, but he did not expect that it would be reproduced in a girl who was the same age as his son and suspected to be the offspring of a Muggle seed.
So when Snape sneered and asked himself, Lucius gave Catherine a good assessment: "Except for magic, she is nothing less than the original Dark Lord, and my father was the first to identify with him." ”
"So," Snape was in a good mood, a little like the man's calmness, but more often than not, mean and ruthless, "are you ready to let your son flatter her as you did?" ”
He didn't think he needed to let his friends know about his father's affair with the Dark Lord, as that would only bring disaster to Snape.
"Nope." So he just gave Snape a perfect smirk, "I've sternly warned my son not to go near your 'baby'!" ”
Snape, who knew his godson very well, instantly understood Lucius's subtext, so he just coldly praised: "What a Malfoy father!" ”
It's hard to be a Malfoy, and it's even harder to be a Malfoy's father! It was because Lucius knew his son well that he was ready to use the agitation method in order for Draco to be friends with Catherine.
But he didn't expect Catherine to be so bold and touch Snape's house in the middle of the night, and Lucius could only immediately send his wife Narcissa.
Ever since the loss of her daughter, Narcissa had been very fond of girls, and when Draco was a child, she often dressed him in women's clothes, so much so that he kept mistaking his gender when he was ignorant.
Catherine's biggest weakness is that she doesn't know how to get along with ordinary people, so she can get along with the mean-tongued Snape, but she is overwhelmed by Narcissa's passion.
Lucius didn't expect his wife to coincide with him, and he didn't expect Snape to give him the best chance to come to the door, and he realized then how right he was to make him Draco's godfather.
But Catherine always had a way of making things go wrong, and she inadvertently pulled Draco and Harry together.
The son of the Chief Death Eater and Dumbledore's Golden Boy mingle together to gain the attention of a woman of unknown origin.
Lucius could imagine how much of a headache Dumbledore had when he learned the news, because after discussing it with Narcissa and Snape for a long time, he could only wait and see what happened, and he didn't think that the old bee had a better solution.
Catherine's whimsy is always amazing, and the reunion of first-year students is still very natural, and even eventually leads the whole grade to come together.
Lucius thought he couldn't do it because he had been biased from the start, and there was no one around him who enjoyed extraordinary appeal among first-year Muggles.
He admired Catherine's methods, she turned her shortcomings of not being able to use magic into a reluctance to inherit Slytherin prejudices, she maintained her friendship with the Muggle seeds, and protected the Gryffindor who was embarrassed by Snape, which was naturally recognized by the other houses, and Snape's pampering and her own super high force allowed her to live calmly in the dangerous Slytherin.
He admired him so much that no matter how much his son complained and begged, he didn't interfere again, because this was his son's own trial, and Draco had to learn how to get along with Catherine, the pride of the sky.
A simple invitation to a family dinner allowed her precious son to be involved in the hunting day party, and by the way, he also saw the graceful art of Catherine's shot, but she was not only targeting her enemies, but also the Malfoy family.
It was a temptation, and Lucius got some manic drugs to solve it, and the result was that he almost killed himself, but fortunately he still had the foresight.
The unexpected benefits made him look forward to Catherine's next move, but he didn't know that his son actually participated in the "Savior Cultivation Plan".
He had heard Snape complain about this strange plan half a year ago, so Lucius warned his son harshly, but what happened in the Forbidden Forest made him understand that Catherine's existence made Draco unable to stay out of it.
So when Draco was twelve, Lucius told him that he could start making decisions for the family, and when he went on vacation, his son brought him back with a horrific ending.
"He's ugly, he's very sloppy, and he has to be attached to others to live, which makes it hard for me to understand, father, why did you choose to surrender to him in the first place?"
Did you choose the wrong one? Lucius never thought so, just as he never thought it was wrong for his father to elect that lord to the throne, so who was wrong?
The answer is undeniable, and the Black family is the burial object of its mistakes, so the only thing he can do is to free the Malfoy family from this quagmire that will inevitably fall into the endless abyss before it re-emerges.
But the Malfoy family had too many enemies, and he only showed a slight slackness, and those people immediately seized the opportunity to attack hard.
Fortunately, the naïve Weasley was not really stupid enough to get home, but Lucius didn't mind taking the opportunity to hit the other party and shake off a heavy package, but he didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so fierce that the embarrassed person turned out to be himself in the end.
After seeing her ugly appearance and learning that she had actually fought in public, Narcissa lost her temper all night and did not let herself rest until it was almost dawn.
He had wanted to take care of his spirits in order to deal with Bokin's greed, but Catherine actually came to the door first and brought a message about the adult.
He wanted to do his duty as a good father, but Draco didn't want to lose face on Catherine to the point of forcing a breakthrough in a hurry.
This annoyed him, especially when his instincts told him that Catherine had brought the news related to the package he had dumped yesterday.
Therefore, he asked Catherine to show proof of her strength, but Lucius didn't expect that the answer she gave was actually one step short.
In a year, just in the past year, Catherine had made so much progress that Lucius found himself underestimating her once again, for the adult had never achieved so much at the age of twelve.
Catherine was very surprised by Lucius's sudden loss of control, because from the first meeting, she clearly realized that he had too many similarities with herself, which meant that Lucius's difficult Cheng dù, and even more so than the old headmaster who pretended to be crazy and stupid.
After all, a sword in the hands of the same kind is always easier to injure yourself than a gun in the hands of an enemy.
