[Comprehensive] Those years when I memorized the Analects of Confucius

Throwing the abandoned letter into the trash can, Draco frowned, and began to think about more practical issues:

Notifying the family is of course necessary, after all, both of them are underage wizards, and there are still limits to what they can do—but forget about sending the letter, and when the owl really arrives at the destination, maybe the dead body will be destroyed. It's cold.

In contrast, the most troublesome thing now is the geographical location of Kong Yun.

The magic power in the paper crane is running out, obviously it cannot support the second communication. Judging from the situation of their last communication, Kong Yun himself seems to know nothing about where he is, that is to say, Even if he wanted to help, he had to find a way to know the location of the other party.

As for how to find people...

In the absence of materials such as the other party's blood as an aid, the people-finding magic he can use at this moment is actually quite limited. Draco thought about it, and what he can do so far is the most convenient and fastest Right now, there is only one method, but that method...

Whether it is a matter of life or death, Draco hesitated for a while, finally stood up and went downstairs to find Narcissa.

It is not a simple matter to determine a person's whereabouts for no reason, but there is a magic item that can achieve this requirement more conveniently——

"...Do you want to add another person to that clock?" Mrs. Malfoy looked at her son in astonishment, and her expression became extremely weird in an instant. She carefully observed Draco's expression, and once again After confirming that the other party was not joking, Narcissa took a deep breath and said earnestly: "Listen, Xiaolong—baby, although I am happy to admit that you have grown up—but this is different, you now I'm still young, it's not the time to think about this..."

Draco was expressionless.

Yep, this is it.

This is the only reason why he is worried and hesitant to use this method——

Most pure-blood families have a magic clock that is specially used to locate the location and can instantly determine the state of the other party, but the problem is that this clock can only display the location and state of each member of the family, in other words In other words, this magic clock only works for family members of the pure-blood family.

Putting it on the Malfoy family, it would be more accurate to say: this magic item directly named Malfoy Clock only takes effect on members of the Malfoy family.

This is why Draco chose to go directly to his mother Narcissa instead of his father Lucius.

As the mistress of the Malfoy family, Narcissa often judges the state of her husband and son at this time based on the results displayed by this wall clock. It will faithfully show that her son is studying at Hogwarts and is in a good mood, or that her husband is in a good mood again. Weasley had a quarrel, his mentality exploded, etc... and Narcissa would encourage or appease him accordingly, depending on the result.

Before Draco was reborn, he would have had the opportunity to personally add someone to this clock—if he hadn't suddenly returned to ten years ago, but married the youngest daughter of the Greengrass family according to the marriage contract.

In fact, Draco would not be willing to use the clock if there was no other way: Although it is not a precious magic item, to him, the clock itself is a very symbolic existence... It can even be said that it is a very important part of a certain ritual.

"I just wanted to use this method to find a friend—" Draco said in as calm a tone as possible, despite the fact that he was quite embarrassed at the moment: "I need to find out where he is and whether he is in danger ..."

Mrs. Malfoy raised her eyebrows, and quickly caught the point of her son's words: "...he?"

"It's not important, Mom." The junior Slytherin said calmly, "He and I are just friends..." Facing his mother's suspicious eyes, Draco began to realize clearly that unless he gave an order The other party should give a satisfactory answer, otherwise his dear mother will definitely let this misunderstanding continue——

This made Draco sigh, and he had to use a term that was easier for his mother to understand: "His name is Yun-Kong, he comes from a very famous pure-blood family in the East, and he just helped Hufflepuff get a nearly The first House Cup winner in ten years, Dumbledore seems to have been trying to win him over."

Narcissa's expression changed slightly, and the doubts on her face immediately disappeared a lot.

"He's a year ahead of me, he's done very well at Hogwarts, every professor appreciates him - including Professor Snape. In fact, if it weren't for Cedric Diggory, I would There is no doubt that he will be the most prestigious student at the Academy."

When he said this, the skeptical expression on Mrs. Malfoy's face disappeared completely, but the doubt in her heart did not disappear: "You haven't told me what makes you have to find him now?"

This sharp and to-the-point remark caused Draco to be silent for a while. After thinking for a while, he finally decided to tell the truth: "He was kidnapped, and I want to know his current situation."

Narcissa frowned immediately: "Draco, I hope you can realize one fact - even though you are far better than I imagined, you are only 12 years old after all."

"So what I'm saying is, understand his current specific situation, instead of directly saving him." He continued: "First, I will first determine his current specific situation, and then make a judgment based on the results I know. Whether to help him or not, of course, no matter what the result is, I will tell his parents through a faster way-rather than sending an inefficient letter."

Narcissa shook her head in disapproval, her expression looked unhappy: "But I don't think, no matter what the result is, you shouldn't take the risk—"

"Risks and rewards always exist at the same time, Mom." The junior Slytherin said indifferently: "Since I decide to take a certain risk to pay, of course the reward I want will only be greater than the sacrifice itself."

Narcissa's expression became serious.

It's not that she wasn't serious before, if before, when she looked at Draco, it was the eyes of a mother looking at her immature son, then her attitude now is closer to equality, and she began to truly realize, Look at the son in front of you with the eyes of an adult.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Narcissa asked. "Do you know what you'll face once you make this decision?"

"I know what this means, Mom." Draco rubbed his forehead, and he analyzed rationally: "I will face an unknown magical field, my life may be in danger at any time, and... I will gain a A friend with unlimited potential, a life-and-death friend."

Narcissa raised her volume: "But this is really too dangerous!"

"I won't put myself in danger easily, Mom." Draco said softly: "On the premise of protecting yourself and your family, reaching the pinnacle of personal strength and power, this is Slytherin—isn't it ?”

His voice was steady and powerful when he said this, and Narcissa was almost convinced by him.Looking at the calm and methodical son in front of her, she fell silent uncharacteristically.

Just about a year and a half ago, her little dragon was just a pampered and headstrong boy who loved candy and Quidditch, but at some point, he began to learn to hide his emotions and use them more properly and maturely. To solve the problem in a unique way, and even have a group of non-family swarms in Slytherin.

It's like growing up overnight.

What is it that can make a naive and innocent child who is ignorant of the world, undergo such a complete change in a short period of time?

"...Draco," Narcissa lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. After a while, she raised her head and said coldly, "Tell me, is someone bullying you at Hogwarts? Or... ..." That person... She gritted her teeth, and finally swallowed the last sentence back.

Draco didn't miss the flash of cruelty in his mother's eyes, Draco felt a little stuck in his heart, who would have thought that such a proud woman would willingly throw away all her self-esteem and face, begging another person, Just asking the other party to save her precious son's life?

"Nothing happened, Mom." He lowered his head, hiding the complex emotions in his eyes, and paused word by word, as if he was comforting the mother in front of him, or as if he was talking to himself to promise something:

"Nothing will happen."

……

Perhaps it was because Draco's words were indeed very convincing. In short, after confirming that Draco was really not being bullied at school, Narcissa finally agreed to his request, but there was a premise—

"If his status is 'mortal danger'..."

"Then we'll just notify his family," Draco responded quickly.In his memory, the Malfoy clock has only once shown "mortal danger"-that is, after Voldemort declared his comeback, this state lasted for several years, until Voldemort was definitely killed, the state of "mortal danger" before disappearing.

Seeing his straightforward attitude, Narcissa nodded reluctantly: "Then, the materials needed..."

"I'm all set."

Now that he answered so bluntly again, Narcissa felt that something was wrong, and she glanced at Draco suspiciously: "You..."

"..." Draco raised his hand helplessly: "I promise, take it down after confirming his position, and everything will return to its original state."

With Narcissa's on-site guidance, the use of the magic clock went very smoothly. Draco quickly determined Kong Yun's location, but what surprised him was not the location, but what was displayed on the magic clock. The state you are in -

...Didn't you agree to be kidnapped?What the hell is "lost" displayed on the watch?

"Human traffickers?"

"My... fellow countryman?"

The voices of the boy and the girl sounded almost at the same time, and they looked at each other in surprise, and then they both looked at the unhappy young man in front of him: "What happened later? What happened later?"

"Axue and I called the police at the time, and we wanted to catch the trafficker through the police." Taoya frowned: "I stopped that guy outside and let him be taken away by the police, but— —”

"However, that child didn't know why, so he jumped out of the window and walked away." Xuetu added, with lingering worry in his eyes: "I don't know how he is now."

"Could it be because he didn't trust Big Brother and Snow Rabbit Brother, and thought you were with that human trafficker?" Sakura thought for a while and asked.

Snow Rabbit shook his head: "I don't think he is wary of me." Recalling the scene at that time, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, and he said frankly: "I just remember that he seemed to read something that I couldn't understand. , something like a magic spell - right after that day, I wasn't as sleepy as I used to be."

He spoke frankly and bluntly, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with the "magic spell". On the contrary, Sakura subconsciously felt guilty, but soon, the girl's eyes lit up, as if thinking of something, she suddenly said: " Since he is from Mr. Little Wolf's hometown, then...could he happen to be someone that Mr. Little Wolf knows?"

Li Xiaolang was slightly taken aback.

To be honest, for a long time, Li Xiaolang has not seen whether there is any problem with Yuecheng Snow Rabbit, but since it is a "magic spell" that can make him feel relaxed, it must be a healing spell. Among the Chinese people, those who can do this are mostly the children of the traditional Chinese monks.

When he was not wary of Taoya and Xuetu, he still chose to escape through the window. I am afraid... the "human trafficker" the other party met was not a good role to deal with, so he chose to leave to avoid giving Tao Ya and Yukito cause unnecessary trouble.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaolang's heart inevitably became heavy.

"That..." Li Xiaolang hesitated for a while, but still stopped: "I suddenly remembered that there are some things that have not been resolved, and I may have to take a step first."

"Eh?"

Without waiting for Sakura's response, and without responding to Taoya's meaningful expression, Li Xiaolang bowed slightly to the three of them after saying this, then ran away in another direction without looking back .
