Harry Potter: The Muggle Crown Prince at Hogwarts

Like Allen, Lance has a mastery of timing.

He threw out different evidence one by one, leading the Aurors to find different witnesses, and finally concluded Lockhart's case into an iron case.

In less than a month, Lockhart's case came to a conclusion.

—He was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban.

The layout of the Nott family came earlier than this result.

It was the end of February, the trees in the castle were sprouting new buds, the frosty lake was slowly melting away, and the snow had almost melted.

At noon that day, in the Hogwarts Great Hall, Theodore received a letter.

A pure white owl tied with a black ribbon and wearing the Knott family crest slowly landed in Theodore's hand.

The taciturn boy slowly reached out and took the letter.

With trembling hands, he tried hard to restrain the upturned corners of his mouth, and began to cry on the table.

The children from pure-blood families all looked over, showing a hint of sympathy.

——White owl + black ribbon is a symbol of family mourning.

Soon, Theodore was led out of the auditorium by the professors.

He was sent back to Knott Manor, seeing his mother in a black dress, knelt down beside her, and cried loudly while hugging her.

The mother and son burst into tears, which made people feel unbearable.

Narcissa took her husband's arm and turned her back with a sigh.

Lucius shook his head lightly, half arousing a mocking smile.

——Look, this good-for-nothing old Nott, his wife and son are crying for him after his death, and his life is considered complete!

He patted his wizard robe, smirked, and said condescendingly, holding his cane, "Okay, Theodore..."

He drew a long tone and sighed, "You are already the new head of the Nott family... You should take on the important responsibilities of the family, but there is no time for you to cry."

Theodore was held in his mother's arms. Hearing this, he looked up at him with some fear, and listened to him,

"Theodore, I still have friendship with your father... Yes, if you have any difficulties in handling affairs, just come to me, huh?"

Lucius leaned in imperceptibly, with a slight arrogance that looked down on the young son and the widow, as if trying to soften.

But Malfoy really wasn't a sincere family.

His attitude left a bit of hypocrisy.

Theodore seemed to look at him with some trust, and nodded timidly.

Sure enough, the Ministry of Magic sent officials to investigate the cause of death.

After all, the Nott family can be regarded as a major source of income for the Ministry of Magic. Although it is not as good as Malfoy, who is famous for its financial resources, it is much stronger than other families.

Sure enough, they found the correspondence records of Mrs. Nott and Theodore.

The two Aurors looked at each other, raised their eyebrows, and shook their heads slightly.

——I really didn't expect that this world-famous alcoholic and domestic violence alcoholic could have such a gentle and virtuous wife.

They handed the letter back to Mrs. Nott and said politely, "Madame, please forgive me."

Mrs. Nott frowned, and took the letter with great grief, her eyes were reddened, and she turned her head away.

The funeral was thus hastily ended.

Theodore is busy dealing with the temptations of a large number of pure-blood families.

He had to admit that what Allen said was right.

——These temptations have already left him at a loss, physically and mentally exhausted.

He doesn't need to act at all, he can easily mobilize this group of families to bite the hearts of the Nott family.

Young son and widowed mother.

What a match to start with.

If it wasn't for Lucius' help to turn things around many times, I'm afraid Theodore would really be powerless to resist.

The overt and covert suppression, the inside and outside temptation...

This group of smart and powerful adults!

Theodore knew that the gentleness that Lucius tried to show was just playing the card of warmth for himself, so that the helpless mother and child surrounded by wolves had no choice but to join Malfoy's camp.

Then, Malfoy can easily take over the Knott family property by virtue of the fact that he is still in school.

Wait until he comes of age...

Who can tell what happened at that time?

Maybe Lucius would just give him the worst shops and tell him——

This was the property of the Knott family back then.

If he questioned it, the other party would say:

"You were so young at that time, what did you know? If you can tell me what the Nott family's property is, I will give it all."

Maybe the other party will rely on the grace of nurturing and use this as a threat.

Ah……

At that time, Theodore might have no choice but to give in.Otherwise, what else would he have in the wizarding world?

It's a pity that Lucius has calculated everything, thinking that the Nott family is already in his pocket, but he has ignored a Muggle crown prince.

So, when Lucius once again pretended to be gentle, but in fact made insinuations about the custody of the Nott family's property...

Theodore was silent with a wince.

He said softly, "Uncle Malfoy, please let me think about it for a few more days... This matter is too big for me to handle..."

Lucius smiled confidently.

He patted Theodore's shoulder and said in a drawn-out tone, "Of course, Theodore. Don't worry, I believe you can make the most correct choice."

Within two days, Theodore returned to school.

The first thing he did was to find Allen and report in detail what had happened in the past few days.

Allen leaned gently on the back of the chair, looked at Theodore who was physically and mentally exhausted, smiled helplessly, and suggested gently,

"If you entrust the family property to Malfoy, I'm afraid you will lose everything in the end; if you entrust the family to me, I am worried that you will have doubts; how about this..."

He sat upright with a gentle smile, and said,

"I happen to know a few good businessmen. Although they are Muggles, it should not be difficult to handle the affairs of the Nott family."

Those sea-blue eyes were full of brilliance, and guided,

"Perhaps, I can introduce them to you. You can correspond with them and regularly learn how to manage the family business. As for dealing with other pure-blood families..."

Allen smiled, looked at him gently and firmly, and said, "I'm with you."

Theodore stared at him blankly, and took a deep breath for a while.

...Compared with this His Highness, Lucius's gentleness pretended to be frivolous and hypocritical.

His heart was beating violently, his chest and arms were numb from the shock, and even the back of his head felt dizzy.

He whispered, "...Thank you, Your Highness!"

As a result, a group of little snakes saw Theodore, who seemed to be asking for help, trailing behind Allen.The poor new patriarch begged Allen for three days before he reluctantly agreed to provide asylum.

After that, Theodore walked briskly.

The little snakes lowered their eyes one after another, each wary of the friends around them, and went back to the dormitory to write a report letter to the family.

Lucius was very sorry.

In fact, Patriarch Malfoy was so angry that he dropped ten teacups at home.

It happened to be the Muggle Crown Prince!

It happened to be that Highness!

This little Nott really knows how to find a backer!

Lucius gritted his teeth and had to hold back.

He immediately wrote to Allen, euphemistically expressing his admiration for Allen's tolerance.

He falsely wrote,

[...Malfoy and Nott are family friends. I am also deeply sorry to learn of the death of Old Nott, and I am even more worried that Theodore will be bullied by other families...so I have always wanted to take care of this child.

Of course, now that Theodore is under your protection, I can finally feel at ease.

Yours faithfully, Malfoy]
