Chapter 218: The Malfoy Family Retreats Bravely in the Rapids
"How is your mother doing?"
After successfully capturing Voldemort that night, the Malfoys lost their ancestral estate, but they were freed.
Lucius was no longer under Voldemort's Imperius Curse, and the dying Narcissa had been successfully healed, but since that incident, Lucius Malfoy has rarely been seen in the English wizarding world, and it is rumored that they are selling real estate in England, and perhaps it would be better to start from scratch in a safer place.
With a fortune of tens of millions of Galleons, no matter where they live, the Malfoys can still maintain a decent and prosperous life, and it is better and safer to continue to entangle themselves in this part of England and completely dissociate themselves from anything that has anything to do with Voldemort.
"Mom is much better." A smile appeared on Draco's face, "The doctor said that as long as she continues to recuperate for a year or so, Mom's body will recover, she was too sick before, thanks to Professor Snape's potion, otherwise it might not have gone so well." ”
Lucius seems to be hiding something from Draco, perhaps because Lucius, as a father, is afraid that Draco will know, his mother's weakness is caused by Voldemort's extraction of Narcissa's life force and magic power, so the resentful Draco will do something irrational, as Voldemort's former subordinate, Lucius knows best the horror and cruelty of that madman.
"I also know, why was Dad so strange before, I can't believe it, the mysterious man actually stayed in my house for more than a year, he controlled Dad and let Dad do things for him, and even my sister who I once thought was actually a pawn that the mysterious man put into Hogwarts."
"Thankfully, Professors Grindelwald and Dumbledore found out about this, otherwise I wouldn't have thought anything worse would have happened."
Draco shuddered, as if just remembering the events made him feel creepy.
"You can always trust Professor Grindelwald to be reliable." Harry grinned at Draco, the end of the follow-up was done by Grindelwald, Harry's traces were erased by him, it was him and Dumbledore who got everything done that night, after all, while gaining fame, trouble will also come to the door, now Harry doesn't need these false names, what he needs is time to grow.
"Commander." Draco looked up at Harry, his eyes tinged with struggle and apology, something was something that made him very troubled at the moment, and after a while, he made up his mind to continue:
"I might be leaving Hogwarts."
Draco took a deep breath, "I've been a little distracted lately and have been slacking off on training because I don't know how to talk to you about it, and I haven't found a chance to talk to you alone"
Although Harry has given himself more vacation in the past few months, under normal circumstances, he is basically invisible, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw will take more classes together, even if he is in class with Slytherin, Draco has not been able to muster up the courage to stop Harry immediately after class.
"Dad said that the mysterious man will come back, he is not really dead, Professor Grindelwald and Professor Dumbledore naturally don't need to be afraid of him, but the mysterious man should be more afraid of them, but the Malfoy family we can't afford his wrath."
"Maybe it's better to live incognito in a different place, maybe it's not brave enough, I think so, but."
Draco bowed his head in some silence, "But I know Dad is right, he's already started to deal with the family's real estate around the world, swapping it for gold galleons, and then re-entrenching himself in a strange place. ”
"It's shameful to run away, but we have to do it, there will always be a day when the mysterious man dies completely, maybe I have a chance to be this witness, but before it happens, I need to maintain and throw something behind."
After so much change in the family, Draco is no longer the innocent teenager he once was, compared to other wizards, Lucius and Draco, who bear the name Malfoy, the pressure on their shoulders is greater than that of others, especially when faced with a life-and-death decision, what they need most is to ensure that the Malfoy family can continue to be stable.
"That's really, it's a pity."
Harry sighed slightly, he also understood this approach, after all, everyone has their own way of survival, and the family also has its own way of survival, the Malfoy family, which has never appeared as a 'tough guy' in history, is indeed hiding behind the scenes and showing their lives to the fullest, although there has been a couple of them who like to stand in front of the stage and show off their scenery, but most of the heirs are very low-key.
It's not surprising that Malfoy was actually quite home-frustrating in making such a choice.
"I'll cheer you on, if everything goes well, maybe I'll go to the World Cup to watch your game."
Draco squeezed out a somewhat reluctant smile, he also wanted to participate in the Quidditch World Cup and let Quidditch fans around the world know his name, but such a flamboyant thing was something he couldn't do and didn't dare to do now.
"I'm so grateful for all that you've done for me, Captain, and to be honest, the time I've spent training with all of you in my two years at Hogwarts has been the most fulfilling and happiest I've ever had."
"Do you want to go somewhere after that, Draco?"
"Probably going to leave Europe, the world is so big, there are so many places where we can accommodate Malfoy's house, although we may not use the Malfoy name for a while." Draco shook his head and smiled wryly, he couldn't change his father's decision.
"A piece of advice for you, don't go to North America, it's a bit messy there, it's not for you to go over."
North America is not only a bit of a mess, after Harry did all the bad things over there under the name of Voldemort, there is a high degree of allergy to the word Voldemort, if Malfoy's achievement is a Death Eater under Voldemort is dug up, the Magic Congress will definitely not be soft on them, even if it is a paradise of capital, if you have money, you can live a human life, it seems very suitable for Malfoy to be so poor that there is only gold left.
"I'll tell my dad." Draco didn't doubt Harry's words, "This European Cup, you're going to be stunned by everyone!" ”
"That's for sure, maybe I should find someone to help me put a heavy bet on me, slaughter a lot of gold on the goblin, and make a fortune this time!"
Harry smiled brightly, how could a money-loving goblin not do the lucrative business of gambling? Every year's European Cup, every four years of the World Cup is a time for them to make a big profit, maybe some lucky people will make a lot of money, but the real blood will always be the bookmaker.
