Chapter 3: The Trap

On Sundays, the Malfoy family's manor house was full of people, all the most influential figures in the wizarding world gathered here, many pure-blood nobles were invited to the party, and they chatted eagerly in the spacious hall, and Lucius, as the owner, was warmly entertaining them, and from time to time they let out a hearty laugh, although they seemed happy on the surface, it was not difficult for those who were interested to find that Lucius always had that worry in his eyes.

Suddenly, a young man walked all the way from the door of the hall to Lucius, and the wizards stopped talking wherever he passed, because the young man was too outstanding, with a slender figure, long light blue hair, a gold and a silver heterochromatic pupils, and an impeccable aristocratic temperament, which attracted everyone's attention, and some of the noble ladies who accompanied the family had a bit of spring in their eyes, if it weren't for the young man being too young, someone would have been unable to help but go up and talk.

Looking at the two-color pupils, one gold and one silver, Lucius's mind couldn't help but recall the scene ten years ago, the baby who manipulated the rat swarm to resist him.

"Good afternoon, Lord Malfoy, I'm Modi Guris, and it's a great honor to receive your invitation this time." Mo Wen walked up to Lucius, leaned forward, and bowed slightly.

"Ah, ah, where, it's my honor to have you here." Lucius seemed to be in a trance, and only reacted half a day after Mo Wen saluted, and hurriedly leaned forward to return the salute.

"Poof!" There was a sudden burst of low laughter around, it turned out that Mo Wen was a junior salute before, a ritual to people whose status was not lower than his own or far older than himself, because he was young, so there was no problem, but Lucius also replied with the same number of courtesies, which was a joke, he was much older than Mo Wen, and it was okay not to return the salute or wave his hand, but he used the same routine, which was a shame, especially Malfoy, a figure who regarded himself as a model of nobility.

"Ha," Lucius's face turned red, but he quickly calmed down, looked at Tianxing and said kindly: "It's little Modi, it's been a long time, I think I ・・・・・・ with your father back then" Lucius only thought that it was his mistake just now in a trance, so he quickly didn't pay attention to it, remembered his purpose today, and immediately talked to Mo Wen eagerly.

Of course, Mo Wen was also very 'knowledgeable', not mentioning Lucius's rudeness just now, and talked to him very eagerly, but there was a sneer in his heart.

Hypnosis: A first-level enchantment that causes creatures to fall into a state of ecstasy. Of course, the release didn't last long on an adult wizard like Lucius, but it was okay to make him a clown.

The two who were calculating with each other talked very warmly, and Lucius was surprised to find that the Modi in front of him was like an old fritter, and he had not fallen behind in the conversation between the two, and the language trap he designed was easily escaped by the other party, and he did not take advantage of it.

Lucius was a little hesitant about his plan, he found that he couldn't see through the young man in front of him, but when he thought of the grudge between them, his eyes became firm again, he killed his father and made him an orphan, the two sides could no longer live in peace, and before long, this young man would go to Hogwarts, Dumbledore was there, he had no chance to make a move, he had to deal with him now, at least not to give him a chance to threaten the Malfoy family.

Thinking of this, Lucius took Mo Wen's hand affectionately, led him to a stout little man and introduced, "My dear little Modi, this is our Minister of Magic, Mr. Fudge, I have always been taken care of by him, you should be close to him. ”

Fudge looked Mo Wen up and down, and said kindly: "You are the little guy from the Guris family, I haven't seen anyone from the Guris family for almost ten years, your father's matter is really a pity, I will often come to your Uncle Lucius's house in the future, he is a good friend of your father, and I have also received a lot of help from him, and the gold gallons he donated last time have helped the Ministry of Magic a lot." ”

"Of course, both of them are people I respect, and I will visit them often in the future." Mo Wen smiled elegantly, but he raised his vigilance in his heart, due to the early death of his father, the connections of the Guris family in the past few years can almost be said to have been lost, and Lucius would not be kind enough to introduce Fudge to him now.

And at this moment, two men came over and said 'excitedly': "Young Master Guris, why are you here, I didn't expect to see you here." ”

"Knicks, Rod, why are you here?" Mo Wen pretended to be surprised and said.

Nicks smiled and said, "It was Mr. Lucius who invited us, and I really appreciate it." ”

Lucius also smiled and said, "That's right, I have had some business dealings with the Blotte Bookstore and the Potions Ingredients Selection (Potion Shop) recently, so I invited them over. ”

"Yes," Mo Wen also smiled, "Thank you so much, Uncle Lucius, after all, the two of them are only mixed bloods, and there are not many opportunities to be invited to this kind of pureblood, which can give them a long time to see and make some friends." ”

Lucius, Knicks, and Rod's faces were all stiff, these years pure-bloods will not be in charge of others even if they are mixed up, and it is naturally impossible for Nyx and Rhodes to be the head of the Guris family with only one child left, it is naturally impossible to be pure-blood, Lucius invited them to come, it will make many invited pure-blood families feel that they have been despised, and sure enough, as soon as Mo Wen's voice fell, a few people around looked at Lucius with a little unkind eyes, and even Fudge frowned.

"Where, where," Lucius suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Actually, this time my uncle asked them for something, this year there were some problems with the finances of the Ministry of Magic, I donated a sum of money first, but I found that the funds of the industry in my name were not working, so I asked the two of you to discuss the issue of lending." ”

Poisonous, this is Mo Wen's evaluation to Lucius, now that the Minister of Magic is by their side, he must not open his mouth to refuse, unless he wants to offend the entire Ministry of Magic, and even if he is good enough, he should take the initiative to take over this expense. But it's not that simple, in the past two years, the income of these two stores in Diagon Alley has not been very good, and if they bear this expense again, they are likely to be directly dragged down, especially when the person in charge and Lucius are eyebrows. Since a magic agreement has been signed before, if it is caused by the mistake of the principal, then the principal will bear a lot of responsibility, but if the owner misappropriates the funds in the store and leads the store to bankruptcy, then it is none of the principal's business.

Mo Wen pondered for a while, and said: "Since it is a donation to the Ministry of Magic, it is natural that Uncle Lucius cannot be allowed to break the bank, our Guriss family still has some savings, and we will naturally bear it, but we don't need to take the funds of those two stores, the family's savings in the past two years are still a lot." ”

Fudge was immediately happy when he heard this, and patted Mo Wen on the shoulder, "Good boy, with your father's demeanor, my uncle will thank you on behalf of the Ministry of Magic." ”

Lucius was a little disappointed to see Mo Wen deal with it like this, he wanted to see the situation best if the Guris family refused to borrow money, followed by misappropriating funds from those two stores, and finally directly using the Guris family's reserves, but it was not bad now, I saw him ask with fake worry: "Is it really okay for little Modi to be like this, you must know that every year the financial gap of the Ministry of Magic is very large, is there no problem for the Guris family?" ”

Mo Wen understood the meaning of Lucius's words, he estimated that he would come to such a set every year, in the case of problems in the two stores of the pillar, Guris's storage can be said to be a little less, once or twice is no problem, if he keeps doing this, something will definitely happen, and Mo Wen is sure that Fudge will definitely cooperate with him, after all, Fudge has to spend a lot of effort to fill the financial gap every year, and the pure-blood families behind him are not charities, It is naturally better to have a family like Guris, who has a lot of money and no connections, and the wicked don't need him to do it, he just needs to turn a blind eye. This is a conspiracy, Mo Wen has no way before Guris doesn't have enough connections, he can't offend the Ministry of Magic, the backs of every pure-blood family are not clean, they can't stand any inspection, and to establish a perfect network is not something that a minor child can do, and he will have to study at Hogwarts for seven years next, and he doesn't have that time at all.

Thinking of this, Mo Wen maintained an elegant smile, turned to look at Fudge and asked, "Minister Fudge, why is the Ministry of Magic spending a lot every year?" ”

Fudge nodded and said, "Yes, the Ministry of Magic has a pitiful income, but the expenditure is very large, after all, there are a lot of people to support." ”

"That's right," Mo Wen pondered for a moment, and said, "Then Minister Fudge, are you interested in doing a business with our Guris family on behalf of the Ministry of Magic?" I may have a solution to the Ministry's financial crisis, as receiving outside funding every year is not good for the Ministry's reputation. ”
