"It doesn't look like there's going to be anything more rewarding after all."

The black-robed man sighed. Looking at the chaos that had been brought under control in front of him, his heart was somewhat unwilling.

"We've got to go. I had noticed before that the Death Eaters who had gathered together withdrew. ”

His companion said in a rather heavy tone.

"Did you find the location of Harry Potter?"

The black-robed man hesitated for a moment and asked again.

"No, Luke Gaunt is smart. He sent Harry Potter away as soon as possible. We don't know where they went. ”

His companion shook his head regretfully. This in itself is their second purpose. Get the blood of the enemy directly.

To say who Voldemort's enemies were. It seems like a lot, but it's really not much. Dumbledore was definitely one. But if you want to get Dumbledore's blood, it's easier to go straight to Azkaban and sit in a row.

And the other, of course, is the direct murderer of Voldemort, Harry Potter. Although Voldemort never saw Harry as an opponent. But the enemy is sure.

"It's a pity."

"You don't have to be so sorry. After all, Harry Potter's whereabouts are still easy to grasp. You have a plan B yourself anyway, don't you? ”

His companion was relieved. However, the black-robed man did not feel any comfort. He certainly has a planb. But the situation is more complicated, not to mention, it is also easy to reveal your identity.

"Have you contacted Lucius?"

The black-robed man asked again.

"He didn't show up. I didn't know he was hiding his identity. I still don't really have the intention of joining in the fun. Maybe Lucius has changed his ways. ”

His companion shrugged. This kind of thing can't be forced. After all, they only started the incident at Voldemort's will, and that didn't mean that the other Death Eaters had to participate in the operation as they wanted.

Contrary. The vast majority of these Death Eaters should have been a wait-and-see reaction. The group of people who stand up today are either really unsatisfactory over the years, or they are real hidden diehards.

Either way. It has nothing to do with Lucius Malfoy.

"Then let's go. There must be some reason why the chaos here was suppressed so quickly. We'll have to look it up. ”

The black-robed man said as he pulled out his wand. And his companion shook his head: "I don't think you need to check." It must have something to do with Luke Gaunt. There are very few people here who can make such a move. And among them, the only ones who are willing to make this kind of movement are such half-grown children. ”

He smiled as he spoke: "The sense of justice of half-grown children, we are all young, and we all understand." ”

The two laughed and disappeared from here.

…………

Lucius wasn't involved in tonight's events. When the Dark Mark hangs in the sky. He finally believed Luke's words. It doesn't matter if Voldemort himself is back or not. The Death Eaters have indeed gained a new, entrepreneurial streak.

If it weren't for Voldemort coming back, if it was, then what Luke had told him before might no longer be possible, but a reality. And given the information he had received from Draco before. It can only be said that the possibility of Voldemort's resurgence has reached new heights at this moment.

If there was no other way to go, Lucius was willing to take another gamble with Voldemort. But now there's such a new option as Luke. He certainly didn't want to really please Voldemort.

You know, Voldemort's temperament is very clear to him. And now the dead are back to life. Lucius did not believe that Voldemort would come to his senses after death. Since then, he has become a broad-minded hero.

On the contrary, Voldemort will only become more and more radical and narrow-minded. With such a gangster, Lucius knew very well what was going on with him. Luke will also be concerned about the emotions of those who have taken refuge in him, and will not show himself to deal with himself. But Voldemort was different. Not many of the Death Eaters would feel sad about their fate. They will only think of taking advantage of this good opportunity to divide up the Malfoy family.

No!

He would never accept such an outcome. He brought the Malfoy family to this height, and absolutely did not allow his heart and soul to be devoured by others and become nourishment for others.

If it weren't for Luke Gaunt, then he wouldn't be in a position to say no at all. Because if he refuses, then Voldemort will immediately come to the door and remove the Malfoy family.

As for going to Dumbledore? No kidding. Dumbledore himself disliked his attitude towards Muggles. Although he can change it. After all, the Malfoy family's moral bottom line is still very flexible.

But what if you join Dumbledore's side? Dumbledore didn't stand up and fight Voldemort more than ten years ago, could it be that Dumbledore, who is more than ten years old, will stand up?

If Dumbledore doesn't stand up and contain Voldemort. Then Voldemort is able to do whatever he wants.

In that case, the Malfoys had no choice but to try their best to mediate. Unless...... Find an opportunity to backstab Voldemort, and it has to be a critical backstab, the kind that will kill you with a single poke.

Lucius had all sorts of calculations in mind. And the more he thought about it, the more he discovered...... There is only one way left on his face.

"Luke Gaunt......"

Lucius's face was cloudy, making his wives a little nervous.

"Lucius? Is it someone who is going to come to us for trouble? ”

Narcissa Malfoy was a little nervous. She wanted to comfort her husband. But after so many years of getting along, she knows that her husband doesn't need the comfort of others. All he can do is support his decision behind his back.

It's a pity that even if you support her silently, you can't do it, whenever something happens. Narcissa Malfoy was always nervous, and she was always worried that her son would be in danger because of various things.

Draco Malfoy was a child who was brought up by his parents. But he always had a sense of reverence for his father. Dote on him unconditionally. It was his mother.

Lucius Malfoy, after listening to his wife's words, was finally freed from that tangled and dull mood.

"No, no one will come to us for a while. Antithesis...... Someone is coming to give us a way to live. ”

Lucius looked at the curtain of the tent, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

And he was not disappointed, but a moment later, he heard someone greet him outside the door.

"Lord Malfoy. Can I come in and visit? ”

It's the voice of a young man. The tone was full of calm, and there was nothing else. But Narcissa could see that Lucius was visibly relieved when the voice sounded. But it was only in an instant that he regained that noble and reserved appearance.

Lucius didn't speak, though. But Narcissa already knew what to do.

"Of course, Master Gaunt."

Lucius said as Narcissa walked in the direction of the curtain.

Luke watched as the curtain opened, revealing the figure of a beautiful woman with blonde hair. The woman was tall and slender, with surprisingly white skin that glowed like a drowning person.

The woman smiled gently and elegantly, looked at the two people at the door, and looked at Luke gently, without looking, "Hello, Lord Gaunt." Come in. ”

I didn't mean to say anything, just elegantly and calmly expressed my welcome and enthusiasm. And it is in the tone and attitude of the speech, rather than the direct use of the word.

Luke loved this reserve. The woman in front of her is worthy of being a member of the Black family. The genes of this family are as good as ever. There are no ugly people. Handsome men and beautiful women. Sirius's biggest disadvantage is that it is a little shorter.

And the biggest drawback of the woman in front of her is that the color of her hair is not dark like the traditional Black family. It's full of blonde hair. Well, this really goes well with the Malfoy family.

Luke led Gemma and the others into the Malfoy family's tent.

Gemma looked at the gorgeous tent in front of her, and she really didn't feel anything. Luke's tent is no worse than it looks. To a large extent, Luke's tent is a little more connotative and substantial than the one in front of him.

Moreover, Gemma is no longer the uninformed earth girl. Whether it's this tent in front of you. The serious and proud middle-aged man sitting on a chair not far away couldn't make her feel anything.

Luke looked around, then smiled and asked, "Where's Draco?" I'd like to talk to him. ”

"I sent him back. It's not safe here tonight. If you want to talk to Draco, you are always welcome to Malfoy Manor. ”

The expression on Lucius's face didn't fluctuate. Stretching out his hand to the chair across from him, he made a 'please' gesture: "Please be seated." ”

Luke was also polite and sat down in his chair. At this time, Gemma, like Narcissa, was standing behind Luke's side.

"I thought you'd be out and join in the fun today." Luke looked at Lucius in front of him and took the initiative to speak, "You didn't see it." When the two of us arrived, the Muggle was almost killed. I grabbed a couple of Death Eaters and looked at them. Boy. It's Greg again, it's Gower's. I thought I had been in our circle for a short time. I don't know about our special game. ”

"I've never liked bullying Muggles." Lucius looked disdainful, "Bullying those who are unarmed and have no ability to resist." It's not going to be fun. It will not bring any glory to the family. ”

What he said was a righteous and solemn and high-sounding one. Gemma was still young after all, and she couldn't help but move out of the corner of her eye. She remembered what she had investigated about the history of the Malfoy family, as well as Lucius Malfoy's own early years. I always feel that what the other party said has a sense of black humor.

But Narcissa was noticeably more mature. Listening to her husband's serious nonsense. She didn't react at all, just continued to smile reservedly.

"Good. Very good. ”

Luke nodded in satisfaction.

"Master Lucius is a man who can still thrive in the Ministry of Magic after Voldemort's time. Standing on the wrong team can still have today's status, this is the person who has the ability. ”

"I just hope I don't get on the wrong side again."

Lucius's tone was a little fluctuating. There are some doubts about Luke, and some doubts about Luke's goals.

Luke just smiled lightly: "Ha, I guess Master Lucius's wisdom should also know what my true purpose is." We need to maintain our rule. But the ruling class must have a constant influx of fresh blood. Let those who can't hold back their status become one of us. And not to make them people who are on the side of our enemies. ”

Luke looked at Lucius, and the smile on his face had already retracted: "Lucius, we are nobles. Find out who our enemies are. Not half-blood, not Muggles. Bloodline is a sign of our pride. But the right concessions can give us an advantage in the conflict with the 'upstarts'. ”

"You also see the state of the United States. Do you think that the upstarts under our chairs, the upstarts we have suppressed for so many years, will be willing to continue to stay under us when they already have enough strength? ”

Lucius couldn't tell how many new aristocrats were behind the movement in the United States. Because there are so many. And in the UK. Not only do they have more upstarts under them. Even their overall strength is a little worse than that of the American aristocracy.

So, once the upstarts do come forward, it's going to be a war. Their end is either to be repressed again. Or be cleaned. Lucius had always been a wise man. He knows it's hard to win. Especially......

"You're already on the side of the upstarts, aren't you? Even...... You are one of the representatives of the upstart. ”

Lucius looked at Luke: "I wondered at first, why you can get back a small part of the land that has been usurped by other families. But you don't mean to speak. Your company...... It's become a trend, right? I've seen a lot of people who used to call themselves 'new aristocrats' have reorganized their families' shops. You're not just an old aristocrat. It is also a new aristocracy. ”

"I'm the leader, what's wrong with me benefiting the most?"

Luke said calmly: "I didn't want to make a big fuss, so I made this decision. If you support me, we are friends. You don't stand with me. We are the enemy. ”

"Lucius, there is no other position to choose. There is no middle ground to turn around in this conflict. ”

"It's just you who lives or dies."

Lucius was silent for a long time when he heard this, and finally sighed and said, "I see what you mean. Feel relieved. I'll do it to your satisfaction. ”

Luke smiled and nodded, then said, "That's good." I've always believed that you are a smart person. ”

"Now, then, Mr. Lucius, go to Sirius and Mr. Weasley. It's time for tonight's farce to end. You also know what to do after that. ”

"Sirius is the shield you pushed out?"

Lucius couldn't help but ask as he watched Luke get up and prepare to leave.

Luke stopped, turned his head, and said to Lucius, "No, Sirius is not a shield I have prepared. ”

Lucius couldn't help but frown when he heard this. The Malfoys have never really stood in the position of 'king' on the surface. This time, even if it's fake, does he have to do it?

Looking at Lucius's expression, Luke felt more amused.

"Don't get me wrong, my shield. It's Voldemort. ”
