Lucius waited for Zhang Jin to come closer before he spoke, "Severus, it's been a while since you've been to Malfoy Manor, and the last time was when Draco celebrated his birthday. ”

He also didn't react to Zhang Jin's actions, this is a real Malfoy, you should never try to figure out what a Malfoy thinks.

Again, although surprised by Severus's arrival, Lucius would never ask for it, and a Malfoy would always have the initiative.

"You should know, Lucius, I'm not in the mood to be polite to you." Zhang Jin said equally bluntly, with the same tone and impatience as the original Severus, "I've said it many times, don't show me a Malfoy smirk." ”

"Severus, a Malfoy never loses his manners, come in, dessert and afternoon tea are ready." Lucius walked into the spacious and bright living room first, still in the style of a full aristocratic lord.

And Zhang Jin obviously didn't want to be polite with Lucius, neither he nor Severus were good at this, "I don't have that time to drink your afternoon tea, go to the secret room, Lucius, let's go to the secret room of the Malfoy family to talk." ”

Lucius only paused and didn't say much, and the footsteps that had been walking towards the living room had already turned to the entrance of the secret room, which was obviously prepared in advance.

"Dobby, keep the gate open and don't let anyone in."

Obviously, Lucius was not only prepared, but also very well prepared, Zhang Jin did not see Narcissa in the living room, and was obviously told to avoid it in advance.

A skinny house-elf with eyes as big as a tennis ball suddenly appeared and said, "Yes, my master." It was wearing a worn-out pillowcase, and a pair of large ears on its head swayed a few times from time to time and then disappeared immediately.

This is Dobby, a house-elf who behaves eccentrically and rebelliously.

However, Zhang Jin didn't pay too much attention, and there will be opportunities in the future.

Enter the chamber and watch as Lucius closes the door and closes the curtain to cover the portrait on the wall, then activates the various enchantments in the chamber.

"Alright, Severus, you can speak." After doing all this, Lucius sat down in the back of a table, still maintaining a good aristocratic demeanor, and two cups of black tea were already on the table.

Zhang Jin also sat down on the chair belonging to the guest opposite Lucius, and did not move the teacup on the table: "The Dark Lord is dead, you should have gotten the news."

"Shut up, Severus, I won't allow you to slander Lord Voldemort like this, you should know the greatness of your master, and I will intercede for you in front of him." Lucius's emotions suddenly agitated and roared angrily, "No one can kill the master, you know, Severus"

Lucius's expression and language are on point, a complete Voldemort fanatic.

"It would be perfect if you pulled out your wand and cast a few more curses at me," Zhang Jin continued, "He was killed by his own death curse, I was the first to get there that night, and I saw his body and his wand, you know what that means." ”

In the wizarding world, the body can be impersonated with polyjuice potion, but not with a wand, which acts as an identifier in the wizarding world, unless it is taken by force.

"But the mark hasn't gone away, you know what I'm talking about, Severus" Lucius still wouldn't believe it, even though he had confirmed it many times.

As a Malfoy, you have to be careful at all times.

But at least there is no anger anymore.

"But it's so dim that it's almost out of sight, isn't it? That's the proof, you have to make a decision as soon as possible, the Ministry of Magic has already started to arrest us"

"What about you, Severus, your decision?" Lucius still wouldn't let go, but he had obviously thought about it, and probably thought about it for a long time.

"Dumbledore has promised to testify for me, and I will succeed Professor Slughorn as Head of Slytherin House and Professor of Potions." Zhang Jin didn't hide anything.

"Yes, congratulations," Lucius said slowly, completely recovering his previous aristocratic appearance, his voice still sounding like an aria.

As if it wasn't him who roared in anger just now.

"Unless you want to get into Azkaban, Lucius, and Malfoy Manor can't stop the Aurors for long, they'll find it soon."

"And what about you, Severus, what are you here for?" Lucius was keenly aware of something.

"I want to make an unbreakable oath with you, and the two sides will cooperate to provide each other with protection and assistance" Zhang Jin ignored Lucius's temptations, and he was definitely not a Malfoy opponent in this regard.

He just said it bluntly, then looked Lucius in the eye and just looked at him.

Of course, this is not some kind of staring at each other or trying to put pressure on Lucius or something, but just to see if he can use the silent and wandless Tempters like Dumbledore, or at least if he can detect the mood changes?

Talking to a Malfoy, even if it's a good relationship, you still have to be prepared.

"What do I get? The Ministry of Magic is nothing to Malfoy," Lucius still looked calm, "I have a hundred ways to get rid of the accusations," but the emotions in his heart were not very calm.

"What if they are arrested and detained without trial?" Zhang Jin is also not worried, Malfoy's family motto is family first, "Even if it is only possible, what will you do with Narcissa and Draco?" ”

Out of sight, Lucius's hands holding his cane were covered with green tendons, but his face was still calm.

However, all this could not escape Zhang Jin's dementorship, as expected, the silent and wandless dementoring could not succeed in the face of Lucius's brain occlusion, but it was still useful to simply perceive the inner emotions.

Of course, the premise is that it can be released silently and without a wand.

"Our minister, Mr. Dumbledore, is afraid that he will pick out the credit for it, so the arrest will be very rough and direct, and he will most likely approve the Aurors to use the Unforgivable Curse, do you think Narcissa and Draco are ready to lose their loved ones?"

Family will always be the weakness of the Malfoy family, and the supremacy of family is the foundation of the Malfoy family.

"I'll declare that I've been tempted by the Dark Lord, and I can even find someone to prove that I've been cast an Imperius curse," Lucius really came up with a plan, "The Ministry of Magic needs the Malfoy family's Golden Galleons, they won't do anything to me." ”

Lucius said it with confidence, and in the original book, he also escaped because of this.

"The Ministry of Magic has a great appetite, after all, the Ministry of Magic has suffered a lot of losses in the previous turmoil, and it may even have to renovate its headquarters."

And Zhang Jin is also very confident, as a Malfoy, family is their eternal weakness, and because of this, Lucius betrayed Voldemort twice in the original book, even Narcissa.

"And the Malfoy family will face the same revenge as the rest of the people like me, aren't you worried about Narcissa and Draco?"

"What the hell are you going to say, Severus, what can you offer Malfoy? Potions Professor's protection? Lucius's tone finally changed, and although it was sarcastic, it was also obvious that he was uneasy.

He could suffer and even die on his own, but not his family, he was a true Malfoy.

"So, did you agree to an alliance? Lucius. Malfoy"
