South West England,

Wiltshire.

A huge estate.

Malfoy Manor has been on this land for a thousand years, but few people know that Malfoy's ancestors were not English.

The first of the family to come to England was Armand Malfoy, who arrived with the Norman Conquest.

So, William I the Conqueror, gave him a piece of land in Wiltshire, England.

Since then, for nearly a millennium, the Malfoy family has continued to annex surrounding Muggle lands, expanding their already large estate.

They also successfully ventured into Muggle currency and assets, becoming one of the richest wizarding families in Britain.

This abundance continues to this day, reaching its peak with the rise of the Dark Lord, but then from prosperity to decline as the other party loses power.

In the past ten years, the situation of the family has become worse and worse, and this is the end of standing on the wrong team.

In the ornate study, only two people were silent, both sitting at a long, elegantly decorated table.

A roaring fire lit the room in a marble fireplace, and a gilded mirror was above the fireplace.

Lucius Malfoy flipped through the information he had just gotten and finally looked up at his wife, Narcissa Malfoy, who was drinking coffee.

Lucius leaned back in his chair and asked softly, "Cissie (Narcissa's nickname), did you have a smooth journey?" ”

"It's not smooth, the waves are too big over there." Narcissa chuckled the silver spoon and sighed.

Azkaban Castle is located on a lonely island in the middle of the North Sea, and was originally built by a dark wizard named Aixis, rather than the Ministry of Magic.

His aim was to lure Muggle ships to the island, where they would be subjected to various studies before they were tortured to death.

Therefore, he directly chose a site in a storm-prone area.

July and August are the months when the storms are at their strongest.

"Bella, how's she doing?" Lucius asked.

"My sister is in terrible condition...... "Narcissa said sadly, "I almost don't recognize her." ”

Lucius picked up a cup of black tea and sneered: "Of course it's very bad, living in that environment for eleven years...... Any idea why Azkaban didn't set up Auror guards?

Because the Dementors were able to absorb all the hope and all the happy feelings of the prisoners, the prisoners there were so tortured by the Dementors that no one could escape. ”

"Can you get Bella out?" Narcissa looked pleadingly at her husband.

Lucius glared at Narcissa and said sternly, "Sicy, don't mention this kind of thing, we're not going to have anything to do with the Death Eaters now!"

Save her?

How many Galleons did I spend to bribe the Ministry of Magic and escape justice?

And what about the woman Bellatrix?!

Knowing that the Dark Lord had lost power, she had the audacity to torture the Longbottoms with the Diamond Heart Curse;

During the trial, she even openly shouted that the Dark Lord would come back and everyone would die!

Not giving Bella a Dementor kiss is already cheap. ”

Narcissa's right hand, which was carrying the emerald ring, trembled slightly.

She didn't know that.

But......

"Bella is my own sister after all!"

Lucius shook his head and sighed.

"We are not as sad as we used to be. Although Fudge is in power, everyone knows that he listens to Dumbledore and is just a dog of Dumbledore!

Look at this. ”

Lucius threw the information he had just obtained to Narcissa.

Narcissa opened it, her brows furrowed, and she wondered, "The new Muggle Protection Law...... What does it have to do with us, and we didn't bully Muggles? ”

"Of course it's related, look at this one." Lucius pointed to one of the passages, and he read, "'Designed to protect Muggles from Dark Magic creations', how many Dark Arts items do we have in our house?!" ”

"They still dare to come to Malfoy Manor to search?" Narcissa's voice was sharp.

"What don't you dare!" Lucius was annoyed, "Arthur Weasley was involved in the drafting of this law, and he was also the director of the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Objects.

Don't look at this position as useless, but with this law, he can raid our house in the open! ”

Narcissa frowned, "Can you spend money to settle it?" ”

"Not optimistic." Lucius shook his head, "Dumbledore hates our kind of family, and many people fear him and start to distance themselves from our family.

Money, it's not good! ”

Lucius sighed, "Also, let you go to see your sister Bella this time, do you know how many gold gallons I spent and how many connections I used?"

Fukuji is just an unfed beast!

Don't look at the smile on his face every day, it seems that he has a good relationship with me, and when it comes to making money, he is not soft at all.

If you want to save your sister, it's hard! ”

In this regard, Lucius Malfoy admired his younger brother Snape very much.

Snape had secretly climbed Dumbledore's high branches.

Obviously, he is also a Death Eater, but after the Dark Lord lost power, he was directly guaranteed by Dumbledore, and by the way, he became a Potions professor, not to mention how nourishing his life was.

What a vision!

If Lucius had known that the Dark Lord would be defeated by a baby, he would have surrendered a long time ago, where would he be in such a dilemma?

"So, there's really no way to save Bella?"

Narcissa covered her mouth and wept, her chest heaving violently and her cheeks flushed.

"Of course, it's not hopeless." Lucius looked at his wife with pity and breathed a sigh of relief.

"How can I save her?" Narcissa looked up.

"Even if the gold galleon is not good, it is also the gold gallon, and it can't be saved at the moment, it's just that the price is not high enough."

Lucius stared at his wife and asked, "So did your sister say yes?" Is she willing to transfer all the property in Gringotts to your name?

We'll use her possessions to get her out......"

Narcissa shook her head.

Lucius frowned, "Didn't you tell her that the Ministry of Magic is proposing a bill to work with Gringotts to clean up the property of criminals who are imprisoned for life?" ”

This is, of course, only a proposal and cannot be adopted, after all, private property is sacrosanct.

But with this reason, Lucius wanted his wife to take over Bella's coffers.

As the child of the Black family, Bella was loved by her mother and received a considerable share of the property.

The thought of such a huge fortune in Gringotts made Lucius feel terrible.

He is a kind-hearted man, and he can't see other people's gold in Gringotts.

Of course, the gold of one's own family will fall into ashes, which is not a big deal, and it is not a big deal to give up the spirit of the small family to take care of everyone.

Lucius prefers to help others take care of them.

That's why he sent Narcissa to Azkaban.

Lucius wanted to defraud the Black family of the Coffers under the pretext of 'the Ministry of Magic confiscating the Gringotts gold' and 'bribing the officials to let Bella out'...... Ah......h Move to Malfoy's house wisely!

Narcissa shook her head. "Honey, Bella is crazy, you didn't see her like that...... When she saw me, she grabbed my hand and asked if the Dark Lord had returned.

She's crazy, and she's repeating the happy days with the Dark Lord......"

"Stupid!" Lucius asked again. "What about Sirius Black?"

It stands to reason that Sirius has no inheritance, and he has been removed.

In addition to the Blake family's inheritance, most of it goes to Regulus Black, except for the sisters Bella and Narcissa.

But Regulus died early, Sirius, the only male of the Black family, did not die, and his mother's will lapsed and became a legal inheritance.

Legal succession does not come according to the will of the deceased, but by blood.

As a result, most of the property was in Sirius' hands.

Sirius...... He just smiled when he saw me...... As if watching a joke. ”

Narcissa shrank her head in fear, as if remembering the scene of that day.

"Let's go again sometime, I'll be with you." Lucius said unwillingly.

"It's beyond my expectation that they've survived for so long, and if they all die in Azkaban, their inheritance will really be completely gone."

The Black family, as the top pure-blood family, has more gold accumulated in the vault than the Malfoy family, and Lucius is really reluctant to let go!

"My dear," Narcissa asked cautiously after a moment's silence, "the Dark Lord...... Will he ever make a comeback? ”

Lucius looked up at the ceiling distractedly, his voice echoing through the empty study.

"I don't know, but I'd rather he ...... Forever...... Not coming back. ”
