[HP-DH] The second generation of the Big Four

In an afternoon when the ice and snow melted, a carriage pulled by four flying horses landed in front of the solemn gate of Malfoy Manor.Two middle-aged men stepped out of the carriage, one of them was tall and thin and the other was slightly short and stout.

"Greengrass, Nott," said Lucius, with Malfoy's usual smirk on his lips, "I've been looking forward to your arrival since I received your letter."

"It's our honor!" Old Nott said flatteringly, and Mr. Greengrass on the side also echoed a few words.

A look of satisfaction flashed across the eyes of Patriarch Malfoy, "Follow me, you two." He raised his hand and took the lead to lead Nott and Greengrass into the living room of the manor.

The hostess Narcissa placed beige sofas, green potted plants and some delicate snacks here.She combed her hair in a simple way, reserved yet noble.Sitting there, he made a cup of mellow and strong Earl Gray tea for today's guests with very elegant movements.

Although she is the hostess, Narcissa never interferes with Malfoy's family affairs.This can be seen from her behavior of entertaining the guests and then leaving politely—but she didn't expect that the business was a cover, and Nott and Greenglass had other plans.

The rise of Malfoy can be traced back thousands of years ago. At that time, the conflict between wizards and Muggles had intensified to an irreconcilable state. After nearly a hundred years of turmoil and war, Malfoy survived by relying on their wisdom and cunning.Together with the other eleven major families at that time, he was awarded the Merlin Medal of Glory.Nott and Greengrass are the newcomers, especially Greengrass, who has a branch of the French aristocracy. Their rise only lasted a hundred years, because they avoided the power of the Dark Lord. After accumulating strength, the momentum in the past few years has become more and more not to be underestimated.

Lucius took a fancy to the source of Greengrass' French side, and the Black Duke will definitely make a comeback. If the devil loses power, at least Malfoy will have an extra chance of avoiding disaster.This has allowed the two to maintain a good business cooperation, and there are even faint signs of marriage.

"Lucius, there seems to be something wrong with the piece of land you're looking at that belongs to the Trelawney family." Greengrass said, with a hint of cryptic meaning flashing in his eyes.

The experienced Lucius immediately smelled the change, "Oh, what's the matter?" He said casually.

Lucius is very fancy about this investment, as there are many important mineral resources there.In order to make Malfoy's rear strength even higher, he opened up all the joints, which can be said to be inevitable.But that crazy woman Sybill Trelawney said that it was a sanctuary, no matter how many Galleons it took, she would not give in.

But a few months ago, the old witch suddenly changed her mind and donated land to the government free of charge.Although I don't know why, the piece of golden soil hidden in the deep forest of Epping has become a delicious fat sheep.There are countless people who have shot at him, and it is precisely because of this that Lucius joined Nott and Greenglass to increase his inevitable weight.

Up to now, it was a boiled duck in the eyes of Lucius, how could it be allowed to fly at this moment?

"Fudge is relentless, you know, he obeys Dumbledore's words," Greengrass said.

"But dear Paul (casually taken for Greengrass), if I remember correctly, we have already secured the lamb from Dumbledore, and you smashed that precious oil painting for it."

"Yes yes, Lucius," Greenglass murmured, "but—" He glanced at Nott, hesitant.

"But what." Lucius' tone was a little displeased.

"It's nothing." Nott interjected, looking inscrutable, "I heard from my son Theodore that Draco and Potter are a little close."

The gray-blue eyes of the platinum nobleman narrowed dangerously, "What do you want to say, Nott." He said softly, and at this moment his previously slightly fluctuating mind was clear again.

Nott looked very embarrassed, "Potter surprised us all in Hufflepuff. Of course, Master Malfoy must have his own considerations for making friends with the savior. However, Harry Potter is Dumbledore after all. Over there, and the Black Duke—it has turned black, and the Black Duke has become stronger..." Nott's voice was a little trembling when he said this, and he looked around, as if something would come out of the wall come the same.

"You must also know, don't you, Lucius?" Notella rolled up his sleeves, and the hideous mark on his arm turned into an ugly bruise, which was different from before.

"Oh, Nottnott." Lucius said softly, "We all know this is inevitable, and as a loyal servant, I look forward to this day all the time."

"Lucius, of course I know your loyalty." Nott said excitedly, he hesitated for a moment, "but it also means that we must be careful in our actions, we have to preserve our strength for the master. Especially Draco, He is the future head of the Malfoy family, and his ideas and positions will affect our next generation—”

"You mean Draco's going to join that old madman Dumbledore?" Lucius warned.

"Isn't that also unclear?" Nott said ambiguously, playing with his fingers, looking absent-minded as if they were talking about the weather in London just now.

Greenglass next to him glanced at the two of them, and said awkwardly, "Lucius, you see, we are no better than Malfoy. If this bid fails, our family may suffer a huge blow." He said very tactfully, But Lucius knew exactly what they meant—they were withdrawing from the land bid because of Malfoy's supposed wavering position.

This is... a threat.

"Greengrass, I will consider what you mean." The platinum nobleman said calmly, and he dialed it back four or two times, without naming the "meaning" from the beginning to the end.

The three exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Nott and Greenglass left with an excuse.During the process of seeing the two of them off, Malfoy's face was always calm, but when he watched the carriage disappear, his face 'swish' turned cold.

"Sissy, I need you to write a letter to Draco."

Narcissa, who was pruning roses in the garden, turned around and saw Lucius' slightly angry expression. His husband rarely showed emotions.

"What's wrong?" Narcissa said worriedly, "Draco has something happened?"

"No, it's none of Draco's business." Lucius said what happened just now. He respected his son and would not interfere with his making friends, and in his opinion, this savior who was ignored by him in the past also had some problems. Might be a better choice for Malfoy.

Nott and Greengrass have always been Malfoy's attachments, but now these two dogs are showing their fangs to him!The reason why Nott and the others made such a detour was to warn Malfoy not to stand on the wrong side, otherwise they would not mind chopping off the branches and leaves of this big tree, Malfoy! (The branches represent Malfoy's interests as well as Draco's.)

"When will Malfoy allow his dog to bite his master!" Narcissa sneered, her gentle face was replaced by ice.Although it was a political marriage between him and Lucius, after marriage, her husband respected and loved her, and she never intervened in the trade-offs between Malfoy, and only acted peacefully as Mrs. Malfoy.But she will not forget her surname - Blake, the proud and inviolable night clan.Draco was hers, and Nott and Greengrass violated her boundaries.

The author has something to say:

In this article, do you dislike Harry's character?Very difficult to accept?After all, people who have lived for so long!

╮(╯▽╰)╭, I don’t even know what to say.It turns out that Harry's character in the article I wrote is too weak, it's difficult to adjust to everyone, it's difficult to adjust to everyone!

But it is precisely because of this that it is possible to fight side by side.

My original intention was just to make the four of them close together unbreakable.
