From the moment she heard the system's prompt, Rosie had little expectation about the search of Malfoy Manor.

As soon as Meloti showed the warrant to Lucius and entered the mansion, the Aurors dispersed and searched everywhere.

"Director Meloti, most of the things in my house are expensive, please restrain your subordinates and don't break them."

Luciuspie said with a smile, "After all, you are here to search, not to raid the house, right?" ”

"Mr. Malfoy, I believe in the Aurors' professionalism."

A faint smile tugged at Melotti's lips, "They won't touch anything except those dark magic items that are forbidden to be kept privately." ”

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Rosie, who was still standing beside her, and said, "Rosie, you go and help too, let's try not to delay Mr. Lucius for Christmas." ”

In fact, instead of searching, Rosie wants to communicate with the house-elf who is following Lucius, and maybe he can get some clues.

But for now, she rashly offered to talk to Dobby, and I'm afraid Lucius wouldn't agree.

"Okay." In response to Meloti's call, Rosie put the idea down for the time being.

"Draco, why didn't you say hello to your teacher?"

At this time, Lucius patted Draco on the head, "Go and entertain your teacher." ”

Draco let out an "um" and hurried after Rossi.

The two walked all the way from the living room, lit by a large chandelier and plastered with purple wallpaper, to the stairwell.

Looking at Draco, who had been silent after saying hello, but had just followed him, Rosie smiled and asked, "Draco, is there anything else you have to do with me?" ”

Looking back at his parents and others in the living room, Draco's pale face flushed, "Professor, a few minutes ago, my dad told me to thank you when I saw you. ”

"Thank you?"

This made Rosie a little puzzled, "Thank me for what?" ”

Shaking his head vigorously, Draco said he didn't understand Lucius's thoughts either, "I don't know, but my mom said you saved me." ”

Saved you?

Because I caught little Barty? So Lucius had an excuse not to let Draco carry out Voldemort's mission?

From that point of view, I did save Draco, but what was Lucius' reason for asking him to thank him?

Thoughts swirled through Rossi's mind, and she looked back at Mr. and Mrs. Lucius, who were greeting Meloti in the living room, and slowly walked up the stairs:

"Draco, do your parents have anything else to say?"

"No, that's all they said." Draco shook his head again.

Hooking her lips and smiling, Rosie said tentatively, "Okay, then I have to go on a mission, you go back to your parents." ”

"Professor, my family is very large, and most of the people who come to my house for the first time will get lost."

At this point, Draco habitually raised his chin, "Let me follow, at least I can lead the way." ”

Help me lead the way? Search your home?

Well, I didn't plan to use you as a breakthrough yet, but since you're like this, then you're welcome.

Muttering in his heart, Rosie looked at him and turned on [cross-examination]: "What is your real purpose in following me?" ”

"My dad asked me to entertain you just to keep me with you and see where you go." Draco told the truth without realizing it.

"Do you know where Helbo's madness potion is?" Rosie asked again.

"Helbo's madness potion?"

Malfoy thought for a few seconds, "Before you came here, my dad received a letter and destroyed the potion and the letter. ”

Looks like I guessed right.

Muttering in his heart, Rosie shrugged:

"Is there anything in your house that can't be discovered?"

"Can't be found? Dark magic items? Malfoy replied, "My dad said that as a pure-blood family with a long history, if you don't have some dark magic items in your family, you will be ridiculed by other families. ”

What kind of strange comparison psychology is this? Are you proud of breaking the law?

Secretly complained, and the two walked up to the second floor:

"Has anyone special come to your house lately?"

"No ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Draco's goldfish-like eyes suddenly widened, "What did you do to me?" ”

"What did you do?" Rosie looked at him kindly, pretending not to know about his question.

"I, I...... Why am I answering these questions of yours? Draco's voice sounded nervous.

"I'm your teacher, and it's the most normal thing to be honest with my questions, isn't it?"

Rosie smiled and stroked his pale blonde hair, "Just like you answered my question in class, it at least proves that you're a good student, right?" ”

Seeing his pale face in Rosie's water-cut eyes, Draco shuddered and stepped back.

"Teach, professor, you can walk around, I, I'll go back to my dad."

With a few words, he ran downstairs quickly.

Tut! It seems that as long as it is a wizard, even if the other party is a child, the effective time of [interrogation] will still be reduced.

Smacking her mouth, Rosie muttered silently, and seeing that there were already two Aurors searching on this floor, she went straight upstairs.

At midnight, everyone returned to the living room again.

As Rossi expected, although they had almost searched through the entire mansion, they did not find any useful clues except for some forbidden dark magic items.

"Director Meloti, I think, as a pure-blood family with a long bloodline, it's not an exaggeration to have some dark magic items, right?"

Looking at the dark magic items that were taken down by the Aurors and piled up on the long table, Lucius's face was a little unpleasant, "After all, many family heirlooms existed before the Ministry of Magic banned them. ”

"Really?"

Meloti casually opened a delicate-looking wooden box, inside which was a skull stuck in a tube, "Don't tell me, this is also your Malfoy family heirloom?" ”

The expression on Lucius's face froze for a moment, and then he said with a straight face:

"It was probably something from someone who came to me for help, and I never opened it. Well, after all, I have so many things in my house that I can't know everything about everything. ”

"Really?"

Meloti stared at him playfully, and casually handed the thing to Rossi, "This is a first-class prohibited item, we confiscated it, if you have any objections, you can file a reconsideration with the Wizengamot." ”

"I have no objection."

Lucius glanced at the pile of items on the table, "All the dark magic items in my house are placed here, if you have time, just help check them, those are particularly serious prohibited items, I can give them to the Ministry of Magic." ”

At this point, Rosie took the skull.

"Skeleton hookah, a magic prop used by the Dark Lord Grindelwald, is filled with special tobacco and liquid, and when you blow a paper medium and take a puff, you can spew out brainwashing gas and form an image of the user's mind, and those who see it will be convinced of the image."

"It's already a new day, so I won't bother you for the holidays."

Meloti chuckled, "But don't worry, Mr. Malfoy, we'll help you identify these things when we have time, and we'll go." ”

With that, she declined Lucius's farewell and walked out of the living room first.

Rosie was not in a hurry to go out, and when everyone had gone out, she smiled and said to Lucius:

"Mr. Lucius, as a wizard, is a bit undignified to carry this skeleton in the middle of the night. Look, can someone help deliver it? ”
