HP in the name of Slytherin

Lucius was confused by Catherine. Strictly speaking, he did not betray Voldemort now, but his father was in danger and was controlled by Voldemort. If he wanted to rescue Abraxas, wouldn't he have to confront Voldemort?

Thinking about it this way, what Catherine said was absolutely correct. "Betraying Voldemort" was easy to say. Not to mention what a terrible dark wizard he was, there were a huge number of Death Eaters behind him.

As the representative of a pure-blood family, doesn't Lucius still know what the Death Eaters are thinking? They didn't care whether Lucius wanted to save his father or not - they wanted to add insult to injury and break up the Malfoy family. They didn't know how many people they could fatten.

Of course, there is another possibility, maybe the backbone of Death Eaters like Abraxas have all been controlled by Voldemort... This is also terrifying.

"Is it safe to cooperate with you?" Lucius asked.

Of course, Catherine noticed the difference in Lucius' expression and corrected her, "It's allegiance, not cooperation, Master Malfoy."

Lucius heard it.

He gripped the armrest of the sofa tightly, "You still want the allegiance of the entire Malfoy family?!"

"Why not?" Catherine tilted her head and asked, "You can be loyal to Voldemort, but why can't you be loyal to me?"

Her childish face is full of innocence. At first glance, she looks like a child asking for a toy.

But Lucius didn't dare to underestimate this Miss Slytherin. She traveled through more than a thousand years and came here. She could also reduce her age, and she could even blind the Book of Admission and the Pen of Acceptance to Hogwarts. ...If there is really any dark wizard in the world who can compete with Voldemort, perhaps Salazar's daughter is one of them.

...She is the Slytherin with the purest bloodline!

When I think about it this way, my thoughts immediately broaden, and there is even room for movement.

It's a pity that Catherine killed this outstanding Slytherin male chairman with her next words, "You are thinking that investing in me now is just like your father once invested in Voldemort. He became the most important core of the Death Eaters. You can do it too." Fight for a seat like this next to me?"

Lucius' expression froze, and then the corners of his mouth twitched, trying to cover up his embarrassment with a smile.

Many times he really couldn't tell whether Catherine used Legilimency to read his mind, or whether she only relied on her understanding of him, the Malfoy family, the magical world and human nature to analyze to this point.

Either way is terrifying!

When dealing with a little snake like Lucius, who is born in the top class, has good talents, and is twice as ambitious, no simple threats or inducements will work. If you foolishly spread light and love to him, he will be eaten to pieces.

These methods must be mixed together and the ratio must be continuously adjusted according to different situations.

Catherine smiled and said, "Your father is very smart, that's actually a good idea, isn't it?"

"You're joking." Lucius laughed dryly.

"Don't you want to?" Catherine looked straight at Lucius with her gray-blue eyes, and said quietly, "When my father was in trouble, as his most proud and only son, he shouldered the burden of the family and saved the family. Danger.”

Catherine slowly approached Lucius's ear and murmured in a low voice: "How glorious, Lucius, this is how we, the heirs of the family, should be."

Lucius gradually turned from holding his breath to trembling arms. Catherine heard his clear breathing and became more and more restless.

"Do you know my problem?" He took the initiative to look directly into Catherine's eyes for the first time.

The two people were very close, and Catherine could see the same gray-blue eyes of Lucius, which showed complicated emotions.

She guessed that if there was no problem with the Malfoy family and Lucius had a way out, he wouldn't be so panicked. If there was a problem with the Malfoy family, wouldn't it be Abraxas' problem?

She only smiled and said: "Did Master Malfoy listen to yesterday's discussion on ancient magic transformation?"

Lucius didn't know why she suddenly changed the subject and nodded cautiously.

Catherine said softly: "The witch who was burned was me."

Lucius suddenly opened his eyes wide, and heard Catherine ask him again: "Do you think that if I can kill everyone in the Holy See under such circumstances, will I lose compared to Voldemort?"

Lucius took a deep breath and looked at Catherine deeply, "Of course... no..."

"So Master Malfoy," Catherine said teasingly, "are you ready to take on your responsibilities as heir?"

"What are you going to do?" Lucius calmed down completely and his mind became extremely clear. "From what you just said, it doesn't sound like you are going to be hostile to Lord Voldemort."

"Well, if he obeys, we are a family after all, right?" Catherine confessed.

Lucius frowned and said with a fake smile: "Then if you unite with him, I will be miserable, right?"

Catherine spread her hands and said matter-of-factly: "So you should be loyal to me."

Lucius was silent for a moment and asked, "...are you talking about the kind of allegiance that comes from a magical contract?"

"Very smart, very smart," Catherine patted Lucius on the shoulder, "This way you don't have to worry about me hurting you and your family, and I don't have to worry about you and your father being smart. It’s not good for me.”

If it is a magical contract-type allegiance, it is equivalent to clarifying the rights and obligations of both parties. If it is violated at the time, there will naturally be a higher will to deal with it directly, which is indeed the most fair.

only……

Lucius coughed dryly: "I don't know this magic."

Looking at Catherine's wide-open eyes, which seemed to be a silent accusation, Lucius hurriedly said: "My father may have such a scroll, but if we want to prevent Lord Voldemort from cracking it, the scrolls he has stored there may not be enough."

The reason why such a useful magic cannot be promoted is because its process and requirements are very complicated, and it is not comparable to ordinary scrolls.

and……

"Rather than fearing that Voldemort will crack it, it's better to fear that I will crack it one day and enslave you directly." Catherine added with a smile.

Lucius really couldn't stand Catherine's frankness from time to time. The scroll had this shortcoming, and it might be cracked one day and become the Overlord Clause.

Catherine asked simply: "Why do you only think of scroll contracts? You can just use magic contracts."

Magic contracts are more easily broken by powerful magic, unless...

"You mean ancient magic contract?" Lucius reacted, "Can you use ancient magic contract?"

Facing the platinum young master who was being led into the trap step by step, Catherine smiled: "I am from ancient times, of course I can."

Many wealthy pure-blood wizards have heard of the ancient magic contract, but because they are all modern wizards, no one can use this ancient magic.

In other words, even Voldemort, as a modern wizard, cannot use or break this magic.

In the entire magical world, only Catherine from ancient times can fully use this magic!

Catherine continued to throw out bait: "Use an ancient magic contract to stipulate the rights and obligations between us, and any additional additions cannot be leaked. Voldemort will not be able to obtain the details of our conversation today from us through Legilimency or other methods."

Lucius looked at Catherine quietly for a while, but Catherine was not in a hurry and let him look at him.

Compared to Lucius, who was nervous before and was deceived by Catherine into revealing her secret thoughts, Lucius was unable to detect any clues about Catherine.

She is Salazar's biological daughter, with the most righteous blood, the noblest birth, and her magic power is so strong...

If anyone can compete with Voldemort, who can continue to "cooperate" with the Malfoy family...

"How is it, Master Malfoy~"

As the only heir to the Malfoy family, it was time for him to stand up and contribute to the family.

Just like Catherine Slytherin once shared Salazar Slytherin's worries.

This is the duty of the heir!
