Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 562: The Anxious Malfoy Family
"Yes! Yes, that's right—Miss Lily Evans, um...that's how your mother was when she was young..."
"No, it's Lily Potter."
Harry didn't seem to agree with what Slughorn called his mother.
"Oh, then it was Lily Potter." The fat old man didn't want to worry about his surname, he quickly passed this little contradiction, "Want to hear me talk about your mother when she was a student Are those past events?"
To be honest, Harry really wanted to hear it, but he knew it must not be now. And instead of hearing it from Slughorn, he felt it better to ask Sirius and Lupin another day!
"Uh, I think we can pick another time--" Harry shook his head quickly, "You know, breakfast in the auditorium is probably ready."
"Ha! I'm hungry when you say that!" Slughorn raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "In that case, dear Mr. Potter, then you might as well just tell you what you are here for today Me? Or... we might have a chat on the way to the auditorium?"
Harry ran over early this morning, obviously with a purpose. Otherwise, judging from the attitude he showed a few times before, it would be a fantasy to want him to come here on his own initiative.
Under Slughorn's gaze, Harry looked a little cramped. If I want to apply for a reduction in the workload, I whirl my throat, but I just can't tell.
After a while, he finally spoke.
"Professor Slughorn, it's like this—"
……
Speaking of, during this period of time, whether it was Harry or Maca, their lives were so easy, that they had the time to live up to some mundane things.
But when someone is slack, someone is urgent. Compared with them, Master Draco's days seem to have not escaped from last year's winter.
Draco's mother has disappeared, and there is no word from him, no one knows where she has gone. Even if Lucius had already activated all the contacts he could use, he still could not find his wife.
Because he really didn't want to study at school, Draco eventually persuaded his father to leave school temporarily.
After the Malfoy family experienced Voldemort's resurrection, not only was their vitality severely injured, they also lost more than half of the many family relationships they had in the past. At least half of the friendly families among them all went into decline with Voldemort's failure again. You know, the vast majority of the Death Eaters were members of the pure-blood wizard family.
Now Lucius is stunned to find that he even lacks the manpower to find his wife.
In order to find clues as soon as possible, Draco voluntarily asked to go home and participated in the emergency search and rescue queue. Lucius couldn't help but sigh in secret that his son has really grown up... but in the most sad way.
Early this morning, although Lucius, who is the dispatcher, has always been in the manor house, he is actually the most tired one. Don't even look at him sitting in a chair all the time, but both body and mind are exhausted to the limit.
When was the last time you went to bed? The day before yesterday? Or was it earlier?
Lucius flipped through the short messages sent back by several search teams, as well as the suspicious messages that came from various quarters. Among the seemingly many pieces of paper and sticky notes, the ones that are actually useful are not even one. But he can't give up. He must constantly search, compare, and analyze, and then arrange the search and rescue team to investigate and inquire.
He felt his head swelled with throbbing pains, as if it would explode at any time.
"Where is Draco?"
As if suddenly remembering, he suddenly raised his head and looked out the window. It was already bright, but the son who left with the team last night has not returned yet.
This won’t work, I don’t need to rest, but my baby son can’t help but sleep! Although he reluctantly agreed to let Draco go home to join the search and rescue, but that didn't mean he didn't care, after all, the children were the future of their Malfoy family.
Suddenly, a flutter of wings came in from the front living room. Soon, an owl grabbed an envelope through the living room and corridor and found him exactly.
Is it another new message? Maybe it was from the son? Is the news I got last night a correct clue?
Lucius hurriedly reached out to grab the letter, but his head was dizzy, almost lying directly on the messy desk.
Fortunately, maybe it's just the body reminding him that he needs to rest, at least not to the limit.
He took the envelope that the owl handed over with his paw in one hand, and habitually went to the drawer under him with the other hand to take out the potion bottle.
"Oh, no..."
There seems to be only empty bottles left in the drawer.
Lucius put the bottle aside, no longer thinking about it, but planning to tear the envelope apart without saying a word. However, he was about to tear it, and a mark on the envelope was immediately caught in his line of sight.
"Hogwarts?" He paused, then rubbed his temples vigorously to relieve the pain, so that he could focus his thoughts more, "Is it about Draco?"
He settled for a while, then opened the envelope and took out a folded piece of letter paper from the inside. But when he unfolded it, he suddenly realized that he had guessed wrong.
This letter is not about the son, or even from Hogwarts. He was sure that this letter was probably from the mysterious wizarding organization that Dumbledore had founded.
The letter conveyed a simple message to him:
"Narcissa appeared in Berlin, Germany."
To talk about what the Order of the Phoenix is best at, some people may say that it is the ability to deal with dark wizards. Although this is true, they are actually better at finding things and finding people. In the Order of the Phoenix, there are various members with different origins, and their roles in the magical world are even more varied.
Compositions like this make the levels that the Order of the Phoenix can involve closely distributed to every corner of the magical world. Major events are supported by Maca and Kingsley, and minor events are supported by Mondungus and others. There is almost no line to miss.
Just like the trail of Lucius’s wife Narcissa Malfoy this time, some of Mondungus’s friends and fox friends inadvertently heard from a German when they were discussing a business about the recycling of old flying broomsticks. I heard.
Of course, Mondungus didn't care at first, but when he was chatting casually, he broke the news to Sirius.
Many people know about the Malfoy family, and what they are arbitrarily sending more people to search cannot be carried out silently. The incident of Narcissa's disappearance has long spread among the families.
But when Sirius heard the news from Mondungus, his face looked a little stiff.
In the final analysis, Narcissa Malfoy was also a member of the Black family before marrying. She was his cousin just like Bellatrix in terms of seniority. On weekdays, he hates these two cousins as much as he hates them. One is a mad woman and the other is an arrogant person. In short, they are not normal people.
It is said that Narcissa disappeared suddenly, but this way of keeping away from his sight was not acceptable to him.
What's more, Narcissa is always better than Bellatrix's cousin, at least she seems to be a "person" with some feelings overall.
But even so, Sirius still didn't say a word, and finally decided to deliver this news to Lucius, Lupin, who was quietly a bystander.
He and Sirius have been in friendship since childhood, and he can see more clearly how the other party's heart is twisting. Since Sirius could hardly speak, Lupin would act as a "good old man" for him.
At this moment, Lucius was holding this letter paper, but couldn't help feeling extremely heavy.
He and Dumbledore’s organization had a very direct friction~IndoMTL.com~ When Voldemort first took off, he secretly participated in the battle. And this time, he was even forced to stand on the opposite side of confronting this organization.
But now, with Voldemort's defeat, Lucius Malfoy was not only scooped out by Maca from Azkaban, but now he has the latest clues about his hopeless wife Narcissa. . It is naturally impossible to say that he does not feel ashamed in his heart.
Although in many situations, Lucius made his choices when forced by the situation, but the cause of these things was because he had always tried to profit from it, which is an indisputable fact.
"Hogwarts..."
He chanted the word silently, and from it he actually tasted a feeling he didn't have in the past. At the beginning, I was also a student of this school, but what kind of power made me the opposite of those guys?
"When I find Narcissa, should I find a way to get Draco and those Gryffindors together?"
Lucius was stunned by this idea, but he hurriedly got up while holding the letter paper, and paced back and forth in the room.
Before thinking about those things, he had to find his wife first. Otherwise, even if he let his son go back to Hogwarts again, how can the child have the mind to continue his studies?
"Berlin, Germany...?" While wandering, Lucius desperately searched the memories in his mind. "There should also be a few families over there who have had a good history with my Malfoy family. They help...No, I think I should go to Germany myself..."
Thinking of this, he immediately used Apparition once and went to the Owl House in the manor.
