Chapter 17
"Honey, are you going out so late?" Narcissa Malfoy stood at the door of the bedroom, looked at Lucius Malfoy in the bedroom who was standing in front of the full-length mirror and kept arranging his clothes, and made sure that every bit of it was fine. After making no mistakes, he turned and looked at Narcissa Malfoy.
"Severus must have something important to look for me in such a hurry. I haven't seen him looking for me at such a late hour for so long. It should be a very important matter. There is no way. I have to go and have a look." Lu Xiu Lucius Malfoy looked at Narcissa Malfoy with gentle eyes, but this kind of gentleness was somewhat indifferent, just gentle, Lucius Malfoy was very gentle to every lover.
"Honey, you have to be careful." Narcissa Malfoy used to care, but now she doesn't care so much, even knowing Lucius Malfoy, her legal husband.As a Malfoy, it is impossible to leave those things, especially Lucius, who has always been outstanding in appearance. He needs this image. At first, she would find it difficult to accept, but after working hard for many years, Lucius Malfoy The tenderness in Fu's eyes remained unchanged. As a Black, she was Malfoy before Black, but even though she married Lucius, she still had her own arrogance. She gives her love to others, she loves her son very much, and she is always proud of her little dragon.
Lucius probably also saw his own thoughts. After such a long time of getting used to each other, the two finally got used to it and surpassed their feelings. She regarded Lucius as a relative, but she couldn't love her. Lucius regarded her as Xiaolong's son. Mother, but she doesn't know how to love, which is actually very good, at least she still has Xiaolong.
"I'll take care of myself, Sissy." Lucius Malfoy stepped forward and left a cold kiss on Narcissa Malfoy's face, which had nothing to do with love. "I don't know when tonight, you should go to bed early."
"Yeah." Narcissa Malfoy nodded, knowing the unfinished subtext of Lucius Malfoy, even if he finished talking with Severus, he probably wouldn't come back, and he needed to relax tonight.And after so many years, she has long been used to it.
Lowering her eyes slightly, Narcissa Malfoy watched Lucius Malfoy's figure disappear into the fireplace. After staying silently in front of the fireplace for a few seconds, Narcissa Malfoy suddenly felt a little inexplicably lonely.
Severus Snape was sitting on the office chair, his posture was rare and relaxed, his dazed expression and absent-minded eyes were the scene Lucius Malfoy saw just after he stepped out of the fireplace, his eyebrows raised slightly, This was rare, he hardly ever saw Severus with such an expression.Except when the lily died...
"Severus." Lucius Malfoy patted the dust off his body before calling out to Severus Snape.
"Lucius." The moment he heard the sound, Severus Snape's expression returned to his previous cautious and vigilant, he even straightened his sitting posture, got up from his chair, and greeted Lucius Snape Fu sat down on the other side of the sofa.
"Why are you looking for me so urgently?" After sitting quietly for a long time, seeing that Severus Snape didn't take the initiative to start, and his expression seemed to be erratic again, Lucius Malfoy had no choice but to ask first.
Only then did he pay a little attention to Lucius Malfoy's appearance, and the expression on Severus Snape's face became serious.
"Lucius, are you willing to sign an unbreakable spell with me?"
Lucius Malfoy's expression also became serious, something that was treated so seriously by Severus Snape...
"If you think it's really that important, then I'm willing to sign the Unbreakable Curse with you." Lucius Malfoy knew that Severus Snape was a very cautious person, so he naturally It won't hurt me, this time, although Severus hasn't said anything yet, it's probably already very serious.
Severus Snape's expression relaxed, and after signing the Unbreakable Curse under the witness of the two, Severus Snape's expression was almost completely relaxed.
"Now tell me what's going on!" Lucius Malfoy asked again, and got an affirmative answer from Severus Snape.
"Do you know the scar on Potter's forehead?" Severus Snape asked a question.
The symbol of lightning flashed in Lucius Malfoy's mind, and his heart moved.
"Of course! Isn't it the mark of the savior?" Lucius Malfoy was playing with the staff.
Severus Snape looked directly at Lucius Malfoy with deep eyes, "Do you only know the surface? There is nothing that you already know, but I actually know it?" This is almost It is already stated.
Lucius Malfoy shrugged, probably knowing what was going on, "If you mean that the scar will turn red, and even Harry will be affected by it, then I can tell you that I have been helping Ha Li is looking for a solution, that scar is not a good thing." Speaking of the scar later, his brows also frowned.
Severus Snape finally confirmed his guess, but he never noticed that the scar would be alive, yes!Live!damn it!
"Did you know that scar was alive?" Severus Snape asked.
Lucius Malfoy also became serious, alive?He hadn't considered that situation before, after all, Harry used to just feel that his forehead would hurt every time the scar turned red, and sometimes he would even feel uncomfortable vomiting.
"It's alive, isn't that like a living thing?" Lucius Malfoy moved his fingertips, and something flashed by quickly. Why did he feel that he had seen this situation somewhere, but maybe he just didn't know When and where I saw it, and now the impression is really vague.
"I can't touch it. I tried, but it bounced back. This situation is not just a bad thing. Since it is alive, it may threaten Potter, very likely." Looking at that situation, if it happened suddenly when meeting Death Eaters, I'm afraid there is really only a dead end.
"It has power?" Something flashed in Lucius Malfoy's mind again, his brows were tightly frowned, it would definitely not be a good thing for a living thing to exist on another individual, if not as soon as possible Remember what that was, Harry...
"I have the impression of this kind of situation. I probably saw it somewhere. It looks like I have to go back and look through the books. Damn it! Those books are quite an astonishing amount." Lucius Malfoy thought, This matter should be the most important thing at the moment, no matter what the possibility is, it is impossible for him to put his apprentice in such a dangerous situation.
Impressed!Severus Snape frowned deeper. He probably knew what kind of books Lucius was impressed with.
"Dark magic." Lucius Malfoy said to Severus Snape with certainty.
"So today you came here specially for Harry's business?" Although this matter is also very important, okay!It was very important, but why didn't he know when Severus cared so much about Harry?
Care about Potter?
Severus Snape sneered, how could he care about that stupid Potter who knew everything!
"It's not just this matter, except Potter's, I need you to be my ally." Severus Snape felt that this was something that had to be put into the plan anyway, the Malfoy family was a big Help, when they were friends, the wizarding world was almost unimpeded, and he needed Malfoy's help in the future.
"Allies? What does Dumbledore mean?" Lucius Malfoy's self-interested thinking started again. This is his habit, and all cooperation should be based on the interests of the Malfoy family.
"Me." Severus Snape shook his head and only said one word.
Lucius Malfoy had to look at Severus Snape again. In his impression, Severus was always very tired of these things.
"You mean, yourself?" Lucius Malfoy had to confirm again, was it really what he heard?
Severus Snape obviously anticipated Lucius Malfoy's disbelief, and repeated in a flat tone, "Me."
Lucius Malfoy nodded his snake stick, obviously evaluating something, "Just you alone, even if we are friends, Severus, this bargaining chip is definitely not enough for my entire Malfoy family to become allies with you, If you are only referring to personal allies, then I can promise you." Lucius Malfoy obviously thought that Severus Snape's statement could not be established, and that only one person became an ally of his entire family. It is not cost-effective to start with family interests. Even if he is a friend, Malfoy does not do business at a loss.
"Of course it's not just me, but the whole Prince." Severus Snape threw out his weight.
Lucius Malfoy sat upright, "Are you planning to inherit the Prince Manor?" If the entire Prince belongs to Severus, dealing with the family would naturally not violate the family's principle of supremacy of interests.
Severus Snape nodded, "Prince Manor, the current potion is only there. I need to inherit Prince Manor to get those potions." This reason is very good!Severus Snape, he almost wanted to applaud his own reasons, if he hadn't understood the reason why he would want to inherit the Prince Manor in advance.
This reason fits well with what Severus Snape would say, and Lucius Malfoy didn't intend to go around in circles on the reason, so he didn't intend to ask any more after hearing the words.
"What do you need me to help you with? What can I get?" Lucius Malfoy once again raised the question he was most concerned about.
"Steady the Ministry of Magic. If you can take full control of the Ministry of Magic, it will be the greatest help to me, Lucius. And how about you, and even your family, a master of potions? Precious for a long time." Potion, you need it." Severus Snape knew that this was a good exchange.
really!Lucius Malfoy's eyes lit up, knowing what it would mean for a family to get a master of potions, maybe they would stay away from death!As long as the damage from the spell does not take effect immediately, you can get help. From a potion master, Xiaolong's safety will naturally be guaranteed. He needs to tell Xiaolong this news before leaving Hogwarts, no!Or should Dragon come out after Hogwarts, he's a smart kid.
"It's good to get your help, but Xiaolong is still in Hogwarts now, and I don't need to say, you should know that Hogwarts is definitely an unsafe place now. I need your help, help I protect Xiaolong, although he has the ability to protect himself, but this is just a father's concern for his own child." When talking about Draco Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy's tone was quite gentle, he was serious He loves his children very much, even if he doesn't love his mother.
"You don't need to say more about this, Lucius, Draco is my godson." Speaking of Draco Malfoy, Severus Snape inexplicably thought of Harry Potter and their The unknown intimacy between the two, he has always been satisfied with Draco Malfoy, his godson. Watching that child grow up bit by bit, his heart will naturally soften, as that child Godfather, how could he not protect him.
Lucius Malfoy felt relieved, he would naturally fulfill the promise given by Severus. Slytherins had their own pride, and they always valued their promises.
"Then, happy cooperation." The smile on Lucius Malfoy's face was quite contented. Tonight, he got the help he needed most, so how could he be unhappy.
"Well." Severus Snape responded flatly. After all, he would propose that the alliance with Lucius was not all for himself in the first place. "Then I need you to find the book you so-called have an impression on as soon as possible."
Lucius Malfoy sneered, he could only blame himself for not paying more attention, which made him spend a lot of time going back to the book collection, and tonight's discussion is over, Severus Snell Pu also didn't mean to keep Lucius Malfoy, he knew about the peculiar relationship between Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy, and knew that he had other places to go.Lucius Malfoy bid farewell politely, naturally he would not go out through the gate, he had his own place to go, and he could reach it from the cellar fireplace.
It's just that he still doesn't adapt to the concept of nobility, so he rejected inheriting the Prince Manor at the beginning, because once he inherits the Prince Manor, he will naturally become a nobleman. In order to continue the lineage, the inheritance of the manor There are mandatory regulations on his marriage in the conditions, which means that when he inherits the manor, he has to worry about finding the mistress of the manor. Unlike Lucius, it is absolutely impossible for him to marry someone he does not love. the woman I love, and the woman I love...
Severus Snape's face became more inaccessible because of the memories. He was somewhat sad. The woman he loved didn't love him, and she couldn't even hide in the dark to protect her. She was really too When he passed away early, all that was left to him was the sorrow of not having the courage to love his loved one anymore.
He promised to protect her child and he would do it, and now he just needs to get married to help her son, it's a good deal, isn't it?
"Lily..." He buried his whole face in his hands in pain. Even after so many years, whenever he thought of Lily Potter, he still couldn't shake the pain in his heart.Every call could never bring back the departed woman, and she must be by Merlin's side now, with her husband, who was a Potter now and always would be a Potter.
Lucius Malfoy chose a high-end bar, the environment is always good, because he is an acquaintance here, but the bartender who is bartending is not the bartender he knew before, the bartender in the past is A rather flamboyant man, now he has changed to a woman, a beautiful woman.
Lucius Malfoy looked away with some regret. He still likes this bar. He has never shot at the staff of this bar. But this time, the beautiful women who can be hunted in the bar are more attractive to him. attention.
He raised his head and drank the drink handed by the bartender, his half-length brown hair brushed across his shoulders, he naturally used his face when hunting outside, but if he needed to talk about things like today, the polyjuice potion was the most useful The potion was gone, and he didn't mind changing his face before hunting.
Frowning, he found that the good-looking bartender made a good drink. Although he kept hooking his eyes, to be honest, he was not interested.
It's a bit different from the wine I drank before, but this time I drink it very quickly, and it looks like I used a good spirit!Shaking the cup playfully, after noticing the figure that appeared at the door, he decisively drank all the liquid in the cup, his eyes were gentle.
"Damn it! What did father think at night?" Draco Malfoy frowned while avoiding the figure who was trying to approach him, which was different from Lucius Malfoy's choice , Draco Malfoy chose the aging agent, or a bottle of powerful aging agent, which can last for at least three hours, because he is not sure what his father is looking for, how long it will take, a bottle The aging agent is the best way for him to cover his whereabouts. Compared with the compound soup, in fact, he is not very similar to his father when he grows up!
"Little Dragon." The deep voice sounded clearly in the busy bar, Draco Malfoy was overjoyed, and looked towards the place where the voice came from.
"Father? Are you using Polyjuice Potion?" Draco Malfoy was a little surprised. It seemed that his father wanted him to come here to talk about the final matter, otherwise he wouldn't even look like he didn't want to be discovered.
It was the first time for Lucius Malfoy to see Draco Malfoy when he grew up. He looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and he still had the peculiar greenness of teenagers. Unexpectedly, when he grew up, he It is not completely similar to myself, not as good as my own platinum hair color, Xiaolong's hair color is slightly darker, glowing with golden light, my eyes are slender and pointed up, Xiaolong actually has round eyes when he grows up , it looks like a cat.The appearance is also very delicate, at first glance it can only be described as dazzling.
Lucius Malfoy chuckled, it's no wonder people flocked to him for his appearance, "Daddy's little dragon grows really fast."
Draco Malfoy was a little surprised, "Dad!"
Lucius Malfoy naturally wouldn't say anything under the watchful eyes of everyone, he just beckoned Draco Malfoy to follow him, and went to his usual private room.
"It's such a pity, it looks like they have companions." I was a bit regretful, watching the man I liked from a distance lead the amazing young man to the private room, the bartender's dinner tonight Interest can be regarded as completely gone, but a pair of beautiful eyes full of radiance are full of evil spirits. "It's cheap for you. The wine I concocted is not something that ordinary people are lucky enough to drink."
She clapped her hands, moving her limbs with some stiffness, ignoring the sight of her surroundings, the female bartender Shi Shiran emerged from the bar, and her tall figure disappeared before everyone's eyes.
It was later confirmed that the authentic bartender who was knocked out was found from the women's locker room. At this time, the father and son in the private room did not know about it.
As soon as the door of the private room is closed, the sound of music outside can hardly be heard. It seems that the sound insulation effect is good. Draco Malfoy may not like such a noisy environment very much. The frown that was frowning also stretched out.
"Father, is there something important for me to come out this time?" Draco Malfoy was not used to Lucius Malfoy's face now, and was somewhat awkward.
Lucius Malfoy could also notice it naturally, smiled indifferently, took out the compound decoction antidote that he had with him, drank it for a while, and made Lucius, who was familiar with Draco Malfoy, Malfoy appeared in front of him, Draco Malfoy breathed a sigh of relief, and got closer.
Pulling his neckline, Lucius Malfoy felt that the weather today was really unstable.Swallowing in his dry throat, he spoke again, his voice was hoarse that he didn't expect.
"Xiaolong, today I went to Severus and reached an alliance with him. He will protect you at Hogwarts on my behalf. Even if he is your godfather, Xiaolong, it is still a more solid promise."
Draco Malfoy suddenly realized, did Lucius Malfoy ask him to sneak out of Hogwarts just to tell himself this?But Dad's voice...
He sat next to Lucius Malfoy worriedly, and Draco Malfoy wondered if Lucius Malfoy, who was frowning tightly at this time, was in poor health, but he didn't notice it .
Lucius Malfoy felt that he was probably in a daze tonight, looking at Draco Malfoy who was staring at him in amazement, he couldn't control the dizziness.
