Chapter 289: Negotiation

"Mr. Malfoy, it's not funny." Dumbledore grimaced, "I'm just an ordinary wizard, not so powerful. ”

Lucius waved his hand, his smile almost flattering, "Mr. Dumbledore, in the entire wizarding world, if there is anyone who can compete with the mysterious man, it is you. ”

"When I was undercover with the Mysteries, the most common thing I heard about was the fear of the Death Eaters."

Professor McGonagall put her hand over her mouth and retched.

Lucius looked at her, as if he hadn't seen the look on McGonagall's face.

This made McGonagall want to stay away from him even more.

She knew that even if she spit saliva on Lucius's face, this guy who was thicker than the Malfoy clan would easily wipe the saliva away.

Dumbledore's expression was as usual, and he sat down slowly, reaching for two chairs.

"Mr. Malfoy, let's get down to business quickly, Minerva and I still have a lot of work to do."

"Okay, okay." Lucius looked courteous, first holding the chair behind McGonagall like a gentleman, and when she was seated, he poured honey water for Dumbledore and Minerva.

Then, he ran to the door of his office again, looked around with a sinister eyebrow, and waved his hand to lay a transparent soundproof barrier.

After doing this, he ran back to his chair and sat down, and said hurriedly:

"The mystery man said at a press conference that he wants to support the half-blood wizard to lead the entire wizarding world."

Dumbledore's eyes narrowed, and Professor McGonagall frowned.

"Mr. Malfoy, as you can see, neither Minerva nor I are descendants of the pure-blood Twenty-Eight."

Dumbledore said with a slight smile, "If the mysterious man does this, can I assume that the school board will never remove me again, and Minerva has the right to other professors?" ”

Professor McGonagall chuckled, and cocked her legs slightly, her little feet under her skirt little by little, very cheerful.

Lucius's face froze, his eyes rolled, and he immediately replied:

"Mr. Dumbledore, you're joking. How dare the school board remove you? How can you remove a teacher as good as Professor McGonagall? If there is such a proposal, I will be the first to vote against it! ”

Immediately afterwards, he showed a look of concern for the country and the people, and said:

"In today's wizarding world, pure-bloods and half-bloods get along very harmoniously, and everyone is working hard for the prosperity of the entire wizarding world."

The corners of Professor McGonagall's mouth twitched, and the sweet honey water in her hand suddenly became tasteless.

Purebloods are less than one-ten-thousandth of the number of wizards in the wizarding world, but they have more than seventy percent of the resources in the wizarding world.

As for the argument of trying to promote the prosperity of the wizarding world, it is even more ridiculous.

Work hard, everyone is naturally working hard.

It's just that purebloods squander money and power, and half-bloods struggle to live.

The wizarding world is now like a world tree that grows in the dirt, with half-bloods struggling in the muddy earth and pure-bloods having fun in the trees.

Purebloods eat countless trees and half-bloods can only eat rotten and fallen to the ground.

Purebloods sometimes throw away fruits that they have eaten half of and find that they don't taste good......

Purebloods also call some wizards who are not from the wizarding community Mudbloods......

Lucius noticed Professor McGonagall's expression, and with a look of sincerity on his face, he said:

"Professor McGonagall, mysterious people bring chaos and death, and we can't afford to ignore the big picture because of some small prejudices."

"If we don't unite at this time, we will all be caught up in the war that is about to start, will there be fewer deaths from half-bloods than from pure-bloods?"

"Do you think half-bloods will only do things to purebloods?"

"Isn't it?" Professor McGonagall placed the teacup on the table with a "bang" like a gunshot.

Lucius's thighs tensed instantly, and he almost jumped to his feet.

But after a long negotiation scene, he did not show a panicked look, Lucius shook his head slightly, and said pretending to be profound:

"There are only a few positions leading the wizarding world, and there are so many half-blood wizards, how can they have enough points?"

"You know, when an elephant falls to the ground, the besieging hyenas always have to fight before they can determine who will have the food."

Dumbledore coughed and interrupted, "Mr. Malfoy, be careful with your words, we are not hyenas. ”

Lucius swallowed back what he hadn't said, and smiled apologetically at McGonagall who was glaring angrily.

"I'm sorry, two, this is just an inappropriate analogy, in fact, I respect half-blood wizards more than anyone else, and I'm willing to run for their good life."

McGonagall snorted unabashedly, she stood up, and said to Dumbledore, "Albus, I have nothing to say to this helpful Mr. Malfoy. ”

"I have something to do in the afternoon, so I'll go first."

After speaking, without waiting for the other two to react, she left directly in stride.

Lucius shrugged his shoulders and continued to smile gracefully, as if he didn't care about McGonagall's hidden taunt.

"Mr. Malfoy, I think I probably see what you mean." Dumbledore stood up from his chair after Professor McGonagall left.

He looked at Lucius with burning eyes, where was the fatigue just now.

"The wizarding world really needs to recuperate, and I hope that everything can be resolved peacefully."

Lucius nodded frantically, "Yes, Mr. Dumbledore, I think so too. ”

"The problem now is, I know what I can do. But what I don't know isβ€”" Dumbledore walked up to Lucius.

The momentum exuded by the old and slender body actually pressed Lucius, who was a head taller than Dumbledore, to bend down.

He almost fell to his knees, almost kissing Dumbledore's smelling dirty shoes.

"What can you do?"

Dumbledore's thunderous voice rang in Lucius's ears.

A look of panic and humiliation changed on Lucius's face, and the patriarch of the Malfoy family, who was calling the wind and rain in the wizarding world, had not bent down to face the others for a long time.

This feeling is very bad, but Lucius didn't expect that his waist would not be able to straighten up at this moment.

You have to take care of the overall situation, you have to sacrifice your personal honor and disgrace for the sake of the wizarding world, and you have to sacrifice everything for your family.

Lucius admonished himself inwardly, and soon, his face returned to his standard aristocratic calmness.

"I couldβ€”" he said, looking up.

"Alright." Dumbledore suddenly interrupted Lucius, he pressed Lucius's shoulder, looked down at the back of his less hypocritical head, and said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Malfoy, I think you should go back and think about such a big decision."

"At the very least, you'll have to talk to all your family members, as well as the people you hire, allied with, and had dealings with."

"And I'll have to wait for the report about that mysterious man."

Lucius's face instantly turned ugly again.

Why couldn't he hear Dumbledore's subtext?

Lucius Malfoy's personal efforts were far from enough for Dumbledore to make a move.

If you want to get his protection, you have to pay a bigger investment cost.

Cunning and greedy hybrids!

Lucius cursed inwardly, and he looked up, ready to smile pitifully.

only to find that he didn't know when he stood outside the door of the principal's office.

He obviously didn't perceive any magic fluctuations!

"Mr. Malfoy, I have to take a lunch break, and the body of the old man is not as good as that of the young people."

"If you're not in a hurry, you can go back and think slowly, and when you're done, come back to me."

Dumbledore's lazy voice could be heard from inside the door, and Lucius could even imagine the old man leisurely in the chaise longe!

Lucius's face flushed, and he wanted to pull out his wand and cast a spell at the office door.

However, he inexplicably thought of the experience of being unconsciously removed from the principal's office just now.

The bloody spirit that Lucius had just mustered suddenly vanished.

So, he said respectfully: "I understand, I'll go back and think about it." ”

"You have a good rest."

Shortly after Lucius left, a long sigh suddenly came from the principal's office.

The unflown owls outside the door stared curiously in the direction of the sound source, but did not wait for anyone to come out.

They looked at each other strangely, and then gathered their feathers on their own.

Human affairs, of course, are not as important as one of their own hairs.

……

At the same time, Harry had lunch and did not go back to the dormitory as soon as possible, but went to the library.

He rushed into the forbidden section, and Mrs. Irma Pins, who was in charge of the library, sat still, with no intention of stopping Harry.

"Harry, long time no see." Russell's clone greeted with a smile, "I have sorted out all the banned books I have read, from the first grade to the seventh grade, and it will definitely not exceed the reader's reading ability." ”

"You'll pick one and take it with you, I'm sure Dumbledore won't have the leisure to check the bedroom."

"Really?" Harry's eyes lit up, and his gaze immediately fell on the first-grade forbidden bookshelf.

Although you can learn the skills shared in the chat group, magic, an idealistic thing, will bring more benefits by watching it in person.

However, Harry was only greedy for a moment, and then got down to business.

"Big guy, my Qi refining path seems to have reached a bottleneck, can you help me see what's going on?"

Nope
