Chapter 46: Night Talk
CHAPTER XLVI
Night talk
Part I
Narcissa, who had left Black Manor, finally chose to live in the long-abandoned Black Manor in this rainy and misty late autumn, and although it had been abandoned for many years, it was now inhabited again, although it was the traitor, but it was Sirius, her only brother.
Narcissa felt that she really had a rough fate, her younger brother was a traitor to the family when she was a student, and after graduation, the Dark Lord ruled the world, her sister went crazy, her brother disappeared, and one went to prison. After more than ten years, the Malfoy family was away from calculating this and that all day long, and not going to the Muggle world to participate in various drinking parties, and finally survived until Draco's second year, but the Dark Lord returned.
If it was just the Dark Lord coming back, Narcissa would just choose to be a man with her tail between her legs, but in just one week, Lucius would never come back, and only Draco and her would be left in this world to rely on each other, and those damned relatives would also completely destroy the Malfoy family in order to "take care" of their orphans and widows in the next few months, right?
Curled up in the soft velvet bed that had been able to make her dreams since she was a child, Narcissa sobbed quietly, her tears slowly sliding onto the blanket like meteors suddenly drifting in the sky outside the window, and being absorbed by the blanket.
Sirius next door smoked a cigarette and stared at the roaring fire in the fireplace, unable to sleep for a long time,
"If you really want to protect me and protect the Black family, then let Draco pass under your knees after the Malfoy family ruined Miรจ! Although he is now Malfoy, but in the near future, the Malfoy family without the head of the family will definitely be ruined, so let him inherit the glory of Malfoy, and Blake's former glory will continue to live! Anyway, he also happens to have the blood of Black and Malfoy, and the Black family can't be ruined just because you have no descendants! โ
Sister Narcissa's words pierced Sirius's heart deeply, and he picked up the flame vodka again and poured himself a big mouthful, "Family? Blood? Freely? โฆโฆโ
Syllable! Sirius slapped himself, his mind still confused, and he had no choice.
But in any case, if he doesn't make a choice, it won't be a good thing for him, for the Black family, or for Narcissa.
No one noticed that the meteor on the horizon had flown to the cliff by the sea, and Balthazar, dressed in a silver robe and wearing a Merlin ring on his middle finger, quietly looked at the dark cave.
With ......just a wave of his hand, the protection that Voldemort had laid was broken, which was the result of thousands of years of knowledge accumulation, and the methods laid by Voldemort decades ago had no effect at all.
And Voldemort didn't repair the protection when he came here last year to retrieve the Horcruxes, after all, there was nothing valuable to protect in the cave inside.
"Go back in time!"
It's not really time magic, Balthazar just extracts the memories of the surrounding environment, and every qiฤ in this sealed space has not changed for thousands of years, and even life has not increased by one or two little mice.
The 19-year-old boy with a melancholy face and black hair appeared in Balthazar's sight,
"It's like Veronica...... This silly boy. Recalling his former beloved, Veronica, the only female disciple of Merlin who was still sealed with the Witch of Destruction, Balthazar's eyes couldn't help but moisten.
"My child...... O future head of the Black family! Wake up from that stagnant water! โ
The dazzling light like the sun dispersed from Balthazar's raised left hand that closed his eyes and held back the tears, and the lake boiled in an instant, and countless yin corpses began to struggle, they wanted to leave, they didn't want to destroy it.
But Balthazar will not give them such a chance, Regulus, who has only sunk to the bottom of the lake for 12 years, Balthazar can desperately defy the will of heaven and forcibly condense his soul for him, and then use one of the only three drops of Avalon water to restore his body, but the other Yin corpses have not known how many years they have been stored like this.
Balthazar is not a saint, he can't save everyone, let alone turn all the Yin corpses into humans, he just wants to keep his and Veronica's bloodline from disappearing completely.
The future is no longer clear, no one knows what will happen, and one more person is one more strength.
A little starlight like a firefly slowly dragged a corpse that had long been unable to see clearly, but was wearing a thick black robe, to Balthazar's body, and the corpses were gradually rotting under the fierce rays of the sun, and they would become a wisp of green smoke.
"Alas......"
Looking at the rolling red dust, I don't know who secretly changed Shaoguan, whether it is a person or a corpse, but it is just a touch of pond lotus shadow.
A lament is too much for these evil corpses who have killed many people.
With a slow wave of his left hand, Regulus's shattered soul turned into a little starlight and slowly gathered in front of Balthazar from the dark and dead lake, and a drop of water from his right hand fell on Regulus's body, allowing his body to slowly recover.
His body, which had long since died and rotted, began to change like a time regression because of that drop of Avalon water, and his body gradually became swollen, and even his clothes were restored.
Three hours later, the stars in the sky had been completely obscured by the bright moonlight, and Balthazar's head was covered with sweat.
No matter how powerful the magic is, what can it be? The dead cannot be resurrected, this is the immutable rule between heaven and earth.
Only Balthazar could defy this rule and resurrect Regulus, who had been away from the world for twelve years.
"Hey!"
With a snort, the soul and the ** became one, and even a trace of healthy blush appeared on Regulus's pale cheeks.
"It's finally good, let's take him back now!"
Part II
At one o'clock in the morning, the elf Crowley in Black Manor had rested, but Sirius walked back to the window, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a strange throbbing in his heart from hours ago, and a hint of heat.
I don't know why, Sirius always felt that something he cared about was not far away, and it seemed like he was about to break through the window at any moment.
He smoked cigarette after cigarette, rethinking the future of the Black family.
But Sirius unfortunately realized that he didn't know anything about family management at all except for being an unqualified Oro, and he didn't even know how to make the Black family reappear in the limelight.
"If that guy Regulus is here."
Sirius, who had been away from the family for 12 years and had just returned to the manor, was worried that he would be kicked out by Regulus, but after sadly grabbing Kreacher by the neck and threatening to cut him off, he learned the truth - the Black family was long gone, and Regulus had never returned the year he had been imprisoned in Azkaban.
It is said that he stole something important from Voldemort and was dragged to the bottom of the lake by the corpse.
The youngest child of the proud Black family would never grovel at the feet of others, not to mention that Voldemort was a madman at all.
Sirius felt the wetness in the corners of his eyes and quickly wiped away his tears, he didn't want others to know his weakness. Even if there isn't any one in this room.
Sirius kept pacing so that the noise on the floor also affected Narcissa, and she couldn't sleep.
There are no words to say her feelings, no one can understand.
There was a portrait of her mother on the wall, but she had long been mad because of Sirius's actions, and even the portrait of her was so mad that no one could comfort her with the weakness of her heart, she was lonely and afraid.
โ**๏ผ What's that! โ
Suddenly, a point of light appeared at the edge of Sirius's current horizon, like a meteor, but it was flying in the direction of Black Manor.
"Narcissa! Look out the window! โ
In that instant, the point of light had pierced through the walls of both rooms and appeared before the eyes of Narcissa and Sirius.
Both of them clenched their wands tightly, staring blankly at the strange middle-aged man who suddenly appeared in someone else's house late at night and destroyed a wall.
Dressed in a strange silver robe, with a pale head, constantly panting. Could it be that the Death Eaters have finally begun to hunt down someone on British soil?
"Wait! That's it! Narcissa suddenly saw the man holding a man in his arms, and the clothes on that man were so familiar to Narcissa.
"Quick...... Sirius told Regulus to lie down in bed, he had just returned from the dead, and he was very weak! โ
Balthazar was also surprised that he had lost more than half of his strength by saving Regulus.
It seems that only by returning to Hogwarts to recover a little magic can the ultimate guardian make the body a little easier.
"Regulus ?!!"
Sirius was also shocked, but he didn't know where he got the courage, and finally pushed him to go to Balthazar to take Regulus's body,
But the moment he took Regulus's body with both hands, Sirius once again felt inexplicable distress - he thought it would be heavy, but in fact it was about the same weight as the young Harry, how could Regulus be so light.
"Such an adult...... Who are you? โ
Watching her brother take Regulus's body, Narcissa also plucked up the courage to ask Balthazar about his true identity.
"Huh...... You can just call me grandpa. My name is Balthazar Black......" Balthazar said as he looked so fast that he had aged with the naked eye, a man who had lived for 15oo years without a trace of aging, but now he had instantly reached the appearance of an elderly man who was terminally ill in his 7o.
Balthazar ...... Black? Narcissa understood in her heart that perhaps the old man borrowed the name of the Black Ancestor from "Merlin's Three Apprentices" just to show that he was from the Black family, and he was also doing so well.
"I'm old, this time I've worked hard to get Regulus back from the dead, you must try to give him the best care possible until he is fully ......recovered," Balthazar said as he felt the rapid aging of his body, which used 85% of his magic power to make him unable to maintain even the appearance of a middle-aged man, but it was better that Sirius and Narcissa would not be the ancestor of the Black family in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts.
"But ...... your body?" Narcissa looked surprised as she watched the old man in front of her turn into a virtual shadow and disappear into the world.
Sirius, on the other hand, looked at Regulus, who had not yet woken up, in surprise, "The body is completely normal, without any wounds...... Exactly like a newborn baby, and if it weren't for the fact that there was a little flesh sticking out of his left arm, I couldn't believe Regulus was back, and Narcissa, look at him...... The 12 years have left no trace on him, just like he just slept at the age of 19......"
"En......"
Narcissa's heart suddenly welled up with all kinds of feelings, the decline of the Malfoy family was doomed, I wanted to find a way to wash away Sirius's crimes, and then let Draco succeed to the Black family, but I didn't expect that just one night of living in the Black family, such an incredible thing happened, the youngest child of the Black family, who had been missing for many years, was nominally far more legal than Sirius, Regulus Arcturus Black, returned.
This child, who seemed to be quiet when he was a child, only the people in the Blake family knew that even if he looked quiet, as long as he was a Blake, he would have his madness. And Regulus is a man who is crazy about the family, and after 12 years, the Black family has become like this, and he will definitely try his best to make the Black family rise again.
So, what about Draco?
Narcissa, who was deeply absorbed in her own thoughts, did not notice Sirius's fiery eyes looking at Regulus, as if with Regulus, he had a backbone......
Part III
A few hours earlier, Hogwarts had just had dinner.
"Most of the Malfoy's relatives are in the wizarding world, and they don't know about the Malfoys' Land Rover business in the Muggle world, and if I want to lead the Malfoy family back to the top of the wizarding world, it seems that I must avoid the eyes of that person and all my wizarding relatives and follow the path of the Muggle world."
Draco walked around the library with a thick copy of World Economics in his arms, and finally waited for Albert and Hermione for a long time, "Hey, Al, Hermione, I've finally waited for you!" โ
"As far as I know, don't Slytherins generally come back to the public library...... Hey? Hermione crossed her hands on her hips and leaned down to look at the book Draco was holding, "World ......"
"Don't say it, Hermione, are you free? I've heard you're all Muggles...... Well, I'd like to ask you some questions, okay? "Pure-blooded nobles have their own pride, and even if they can't use the power of Muggles to grow their families, Malfoy doesn't want anyone to know that he's reading Muggle books.
"Well, if you have time, let's go to the lounge in the middle of the stairs and talk." Albert was also curious as to why Draco had suddenly read a Muggle book, hadn't he already joined Quidditch? The academy competition is coming up in a few weeks, and if he doesn't take the time to rest, where will he get the strength to train?
As the three of them spoke, they went to the lounge in the stairwell, and after letting the elf make three cups of coffee, they slowly started the conversation.
"In fact, my father had an accident in recent times, and I want to ...... I need to be in charge of this family, so I need to keep growing. Draco's face flushed slightly.
โso๏ผโ Hermione flipped through the "Magical Rune Literature" in her arms, and then spread out the "What is the significance of the Semiconductor Silicon Chip Technology Exhibition to us" on the table, and then asked Draco very puzzled.
โso๏ผ Hermione, stop reading those books, what I'm trying to say is...... Since I am only a student in the wizarding world, and those relatives are like those evil relatives in fairy tales, the master is gone, and they pounce on me like greedy wolves, eager to swallow my house like a fragrant piece of meat...... So, I mean, I still have some income in the ordinary world, so I want to continue to grow my family in the ordinary world where you live, and then return to the top of the wizarding world......" Draco said, drawing circles on the table with his hand.
"You mean...... You want to do business in the Muggle world, don't you? Albert understood what Draco meant, and he thought for a moment, "Draco, do you want to hear my opinion?" โ
"Please, but it doesn't hurt."
"Although there are also vendors and factories in the wizarding world, in fact, Draco shouldn't have visited the malls and factories in the ordinary world, right?"
"My dad said that it was all the same, that Muggles could only employ a large number of poor slaves because they couldn't do magic." Draco didn't understand.
"Actually, if Draco were to be inexperienced, well, I don't think your father, no matter how powerful he is, will not be able to be very clear in both the wizarding world and the ordinary world. So your business in the ordinary world must have hired a lot of professional brokers who will help you keep the company running, and Draco, if you don't have any experience, I hope you don't meddle, because why?
Merchants in the wizarding world are all individual, and factories are based on small family workshops.
In the world of ordinary people, it is very different, the Internet connects the whole world as a whole, and mobile phones allow people to communicate at any time. The whole world has become a huge trade network, and the raw materials from all over the world will eventually be shipped to the factory, maybe thousands, tens of thousands, thousands of machines, and they will produce something with high efficiency, rather than every piece in the wizarding world is purely handmade.
The world of ordinary people is efficiency, yield!
If Draco doesn't have a deep understanding of this, I'd better go to your company and start from the bottom and understand how this company works, step by step; And in fact, we can't give up some of the existing privileges of wizards, I suggest that you can go and run business for the company to try, and when we encounter difficult customers, we can use our own abilities - confusion charm, hehe. โ
Albert smiled evilly, his feeling about the Confusion Charm was a hypnotism that could hypnotize people at any time, and with this ability, it was even better to go into business. But if you use it to cheat, maybe you make more money than doing business, right?
"But...... What do they say that the world is changing dramatically and that I am going to a meeting in person? โ
Draco was nervous.
"No matter what the big change, we just have to imitate what our opponents are doing. Of course, I mean that as long as you keep it without losing money, that's enough. But if you want to beat all your opponents and stand on top of it, then you don't have enough effort.
We need a genius, and genius comes from 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration, but that 1 percent inspiration may be more important than 99 percent perspiration...... Draco, if you just need to stabilize those people at this stage, you can build them to follow the other competitors. Therefore, the enemy's entrepreneurship is my entrepreneurship! Haha......"
"Okay...... Okay, but if I do go to the meeting then, I hope, Al, Hermione, that you'll come with me, because I'm really nervous if I'm going to face so many Muggles. โ
Draco didn't quite understand what Albert was saying, so he walked away in frustration.
"Yes, okay, we will." Watching Draco walk out, Albert noticed that Hermione was actually working on a set of math workbooks for the third grade of middle school.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were writing some kind of magic paper! Albert was puzzled.
"Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration, I am not a genius like you, and my recent Hogwarts degree certificate is not recognized by the outside world. After graduating from Hogwarts, I would like to go to Oxford, Cambridge or MIT, Deep Springs or something! If I don't work hard now, I won't be able to understand it even if I get in with the confusion spell. Hermione said without looking up.
This mess made Albert messy, "Give me a copy too!" โ
