[HP] just lover

When Christmas comes, Sennagiu returns home.

Vanessa went to pick her up at Nine and Three-quarters Station alone, and Sirius was absent due to work at the Department of Mysteries.

He seems to be very busy these days and often disappears. He used to visit her every now and then, but since the last time the two had a complete showdown, he hasn't shown up again.

After careful calculation, it seems to be quite a long time.

That's fine.

With the scarf on for Cena, Vanessa prepares to Apparate with her.When she turned around, she caught a glimpse of Lucius standing upright in front of Draco out of the corner of her eye.Next to him was Narcissa in a black coat. Narcissa was squatting next to Draco and chatting eagerly with him face to face. Lucius was talking about something with Hunter. Both of them had friendly expressions.

They get along very well and live happily, as can be seen from Draco's expression.

Vanessa looked away and took Senna's hand to Apparate, but Draco suddenly called them back.

"Senna! Aunt Vanessa!"

Vanessa paused, hesitated for a few seconds and finally turned around with Senna.

"Go." She let go of Senna's hand and told her to talk to her best friend.

Senna nodded, tightening the scarf and took a few steps towards Draco.

Draco came running over, and naturally his parents and stepfather wouldn't still be standing there.

Lucius was right behind Draco.

He stood there, and when Senna saw him, he smiled and called, "Uncle Lucius."

Lucius seemed dissatisfied with this title, he frowned, even the frown was so elegant and dignified.

His aloof indifference towards other people at the station softened a lot when he faced Senna. He nodded slightly under the girl's gaze, supported his cane with one hand, and gently stroked the silver snake ring on his hand with the other hand. Long and noble said: "Senna, nice to meet you. I haven't seen you for a few months, and you have grown a lot taller."

Senna happily compared the heights of himself and Draco: "Yes! I am half a head taller than Draco!"

Draco snorted: "Madam Pomfrey said that girls grow earlier than boys, don't worry, I will catch up with you when we are in the second grade."

Senna smiled and comforted: "Okay, you can definitely. But, did you really go to Madam Pomfrey to ask about the tall man?" She made a surprised expression, "Draco, you really Did you do what Harry said?"

Draco's face changed, and he denied it with his eyes wide open. Lucius looked at him disapprovingly. Draco shrank his neck and said with a gentlemanly look: "Well, as a man, I shouldn't argue with you about this." .”

Senna looked at Lucius with a suppressed smile, and Lucius smiled back at her. Senna cleared his throat and said, "What do you want from me? We should go home."

Draco subconsciously grabbed his father's hand, winked at his father, and said loudly, "Senna, come to my house with Aunt Vanessa for Christmas? How about we spend Christmas together?"

Lucius looked at his son unexpectedly, this matter...he didn't ask his opinion in advance, which is unbelievable for a son who adores his father, but looking at Xiaolong's smug eyes, he knew what he wanted to do .

The child has grown up and knows that he has made plans for his father's affairs. Although he is a bit self-assessed, it is unexpected and not annoying.

However, the father and son will be disappointed.

Senna said immediately after hearing this: "I'm afraid it won't work this year. My dad will come to spend Christmas with us this year, and we will be at home."

Vanessa stood there expressionless, except for the occasional exchange of glances with Narcissa, basically looking at the two talking children.

Senna is right, this year's Christmas has long been agreed to be spent with Sirius, and Sirius has been preparing for it for a long time, and Senna has been looking forward to it, of course they can't go to Marl as Draco said. Christmas at Fu Manor.

"That's it." Draco showed his father a helpless expression, and Lucius put his hands on his son's thin shoulders without any trace, and with a little more force, Draco knew that he was unhappy.

"So, Merry Christmas to you all, Senna." Lucius finally spoke, he paused for a few seconds before adding Senna's mother's name, "and Vanessa."

Vanessa knew that she had to make a sound at this time, she nodded, deliberately did not look at the man who was speaking, took Senna's hand and nodded quickly at them, and then directly apparated.

Lucius withdrew his gaze, looked at his son next to him, and said calmly under Draco's begging eyes: "Do you think you can escape your punishment by doing this, Draco?"

Draco wailed, "Why punish me, Dad? I've tried my best to help you."

Narcissa smiled helplessly, and exchanged glances with Hunter, who couldn't help but laugh too.

Lucius snorted expressionlessly and said, "Your godfather is also your dean—he told me something about your performance in school, and I am very disappointed."

Draco paled and thought, it's over.

Damn Potter, I must seek revenge on him after school starts!

When Christmas came, Vanessa cooked a big dinner at home.

Since it was only mother and daughter living together, they still lived in her house in the Muggle community.

In order to facilitate her daughter's study and life, Vanessa cast a space extension spell on Senna's room, and added a lot of furniture and daily necessities, so that she would not feel that it was not enough.

After the meal was ready, the mother and daughter waited for Sirius to arrive in the living room together.

Senna was lying on the table doing homework, wrinkling her nose in distress, and Vanessa asked while knitting the scarf in her hand: "What homework? It seems tricky?"

Senna turned around and said, "It's homework for Potions, Mom."

"..." Oh, that's no wonder, remembering Snape's strict and sharp look, Vanessa said earnestly, "It still needs to be done well, even if it's a little troublesome."

Senna sighed and said: "Yes, I fully agree with your words." After a short pause, she looked at the time and said, "Mom, why hasn't Dad come yet?"

It was almost ten o'clock, and the other families had finished their dinner by this time, Sirius was indeed a bit late.

Vanessa said to her: "It should be here in a while. Since he promised, he will not stop coming. He has been preparing for this party, hasn't he? Maybe something happened temporarily."

Senna blinked in disappointment, turned back to her homework, and soon lost herself in the potions paper.

However, Vanessa put down the scarf she was about to knit. There was no pattern on the dark green scarf, except... a family crest she hid in the corner.

Sirius arrived at 11:30. He walked out of the fireplace in a mess, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Something happened at Hogwarts, I'll deal with it. I'm sorry." Seeing the aggrieved daughter, my heart tightened, and I used it on myself to clean it up, and then walked quickly to my daughter, "Are you doing your homework, Senna?"

"I'm waiting for you." Senna said a little sadly, "Why did you come so late? Isn't Hogwarts on holiday? What happened?"

Sirius' expression changed, and he looked sideways at Vanessa, who immediately said, "Senna, go to the kitchen and prepare, we can eat."

Senna pursed his lips, knowing that he might not get an answer to his question, so he nodded and went to prepare dinner without asking.

Vanessa walked to Sirius and lowered her voice, "What happened?"

Sirius also whispered: "About Harry. The Dark Lord appeared at Hogwarts, and he possessed the newly appointed Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

Vanessa frowned: "Senna mentioned him in the letter from Halloween, saying that he smells like garlic."

"Indeed, Dumbledore said it was his way to cover up the stench of his soul." Sirius glanced at Senna who was carrying food to the restaurant with Yeda, and said quickly, "I haven't finished the matter yet, I'll start Come here, it should...it should be all right." The expression on his face was not what he said in his words.

Vanessa hesitated and asked, "Is Harry at Hogwarts?"

Sirius pursed his lips and said, "...he is here. He stayed in school this year, with his other two friends." He said with some annoyance, "I originally invited him to spend Christmas with us, but he refused. Besides, he seems to want Cena to stay with him—he has a plan, and it's going well, and he's inherited the intelligence of James and Lily, and I'm happy." He did look relieved.

Vanessa was silent for a while and said: "You can go back, Sirius. Christmas can be celebrated every year, and next year we can start again. I know you are worried about Harry, didn't you say that the matter is not completely over yet?"

Sirius clenched his fists irritably, his handsome brows were tightly frowned, and he said after a while, "There's Dumbledore, Regulus, and... Malfoy. It doesn't matter if I'm here or not. I just can be better if I'm here." Just to reassure Harry."

"Mommy, dinner is ready." Senna poked his head out from the dining room and said to them.

Vanessa responded, and whispered in Sirius' ear: "Go, it's okay Sirius, I will explain it to Senna, she won't blame you."

"But..." he reluctantly said, "This is my promise. Senna has been looking forward to this party, and I also promised her to teach her the Patronus Charm at this party." He said a little angrily, "It's all Deng's fault Bullido! Why do you have to let me work in the Ministry of Magic! Damn the Department of Mysteries! It's just a prophecy ball, does it need someone to protect it? If I continue to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts this year, all of this will be impossible. will not happen."

Vanessa analyzed for him: "Maybe what Dumbledore needs is such an opportunity?"

Sirius was stunned for a while, before saying, "You mean...he did it on purpose?"

"How's the Horcrux dealt with?" She didn't answer directly, but just asked.

Sirius replied, "Last time I heard Dumbledore say that the Horcruxes have been dealt with."

Vanessa thought for a while and said: "Then, they probably need to draw out the real soul of the Dark Lord, so that they can really defeat him and completely restore the peace and tranquility of the magic world."

Sirius was thinking with a solemn expression, he was holding his wand tightly, apparently his heart had already flown away.

"Go, Sirius." Vanessa patted his arm and said, "It's okay, Senna is not a child anymore, she can understand you. As for the Patronus Charm, I can teach her." She gestured towards the restaurant Said, "Go and say goodbye to her."

Sirius pondered for a long time before nodding.

He walked a few steps, stopped again, and asked her, "Is everything about you and Malfoy—what's written in the newspapers—true?"

Vanessa was startled. Although she guessed that he might mention this, she still hadn't figured out how to answer it.

Sirius stared at her for a long time before lowering his voice and said, "I hope you will be happy, even if I didn't give you that happiness." He tried his best to make himself appear soft and without sharpness, "Malfoy... although I hate He, but it is undeniable that he can bring you a more stable life than me." From Dumbledore's trust in Lucius, and Lucius' ability to deal with the Dark Lord incident, Sirius made a rational and fair judgment.

He was reluctant but said truthfully: "I won't... and I have no right to object to you being with someone else. If it's Malfoy, it's better than those men I don't know. I know he loves you and has always been yes."

Vanessa resisted a little: "Compared to me, you should move forward. I hope you can also find your own happiness."

Sirius smiled. At that moment, she seemed to see the youth in high spirits at Hogwarts again.

"Of course I will be happy, and I will move forward as you said, but definitely not now. I have been thinking about what you said to me before, and I think you are right. Since I have Harry in my heart, If you can’t guarantee that you can take care of a relationship, then don’t start it at all. This is also responsible to others.”

Vanessa was surprised that he had such an understanding. It could be seen that he was really changing a little bit.

"So, if you want to be with Lucius Malfoy and marry him, then go for it." Sirius still smiled, but his face was slightly pale, "I won't stop you, and I won't object You, I support you." He blinked, Vanessa's slender figure was reflected in his gray eyes, he seemed to remember how she smiled at him when they fell in love, but he knew what he should say at this moment , so he said, "I'm not your burden, nor your stumbling block. I'll start over, after Harry is really safe. You just started a new life a little earlier than me, don't feel bad about it, If you stop moving forward and delay your happiness because of me, I will feel more guilty."

He took one last look at Vanessa and said, "We've been divorced for seven years, seven years . Everything. I won’t do it in the future, as I said——I hope you can be happy, even if that happiness is not given to you by me.”

After saying this, Sirius flashed into the restaurant, he stayed there for a while, and when Vanessa entered, he had already left.

Sitting on the chair, Senna said while unwrapping the gift in his hand: "Mom, Dad has gone to Hogwarts. Principal Dumbledore needs him to do something. You don't mind?"

Vanessa looked at her daughter's innocent back, smiled and said, "Do you mind?"

"I don't mind. Anyway, we can spend many Christmases together. I have nothing to mind. His business is more important." After a while, Senna looked back, "Besides, it's for Hogwarts. I love Hogg very much." Watts, I'm happy that Dad was able to protect that castle, I'm proud. I'm just a little upset why Dad left during my year of enrollment? If only he was still a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts." She flattened her mouth, which was very regrettable.

It seemed like she would have liked to have a backdoor at Hogwarts, a small kitchen or something, but her father had left.

Her daughter was not angry because of Sirius' departure, Vanessa was already very happy, she understood the complex emotions aroused by Sirius' words, and spent a short but happy Christmas with her daughter.

late at night.

Vanessa packed the scarf that was finally finished and put it in a box.

The dark green, which is close to black, can probably match many of his clothes... probably.

Anxiously taking the scarf out of the box again, Vanessa crumpled it up and put it aside.

She was sitting on a chair, with her arms propped on the table, her hands covering her face, and she was extremely contradictory.

And the crumpled scarf in her hand just revealed the hidden family crest at the corner.

Black, green and silver tri-color design, with a serpentine pattern, written on the silver ribbon SanctimoniaVincetSemper - pure and eternal victory.

It's the Malfoy crest.

She'd seen it on Lucius' school robes and various personal items.

Even the owls of the Malfoy family have small ornaments painted with the family crest on their legs.

This scarf, of course, was not given to Draco, it was too mature for a child to use such a scarf.

Then it's not for Draco, it can only be... for Lucius.

Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly revealed her eyes from her hands. She stared at the exquisite box on the other side of the table, hesitated for a long time, reached out to take it, and slowly opened it.

It was a Christmas present from Lucius.

She took out a beautiful quill pen from the box, and she looked at it thoughtfully. In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is a quill pen. The feather used to make the pen should be peacock feathers.It is the peacock feather of the white peacock.

gorgeous.

Vanessa thought of the proud and beautiful white peacocks in Malfoy Manor. Sometimes they really looked like their owners. When she saw this pen, she seemed to see Lucius.

After pondering for a long time, Vanessa finally packed the scarf and let the owl take it away.

Narcissa and Hunter would stay at Malfoy Manor for Christmas until Draco went back to school.

It was twelve o'clock now, and they had already rested. Except for the house elves, only Lucius, who had just returned from Hogwarts, was still awake in the whole manor.

Malfoy Manor at night is also majestic and majestic. As the most luxurious building in Wiltshire, it still shines brightly in the night.In the eyes of wizards, the only building comparable to Malfoy Manor may be Hogwarts.

Lucius, he was standing in front of the window, wearing a satin white shirt, which well trimmed his slender arms and waist.

He folded his hands and looked out the window, browsing the scenery indifferently. The whole of Wiltshire was in his eyes. He looked down at everything, but there was no pleasure on his face.

When a very ordinary owl flew towards his window little by little in the night, his expression changed slightly.

The owl had come to bring him a message.

Lucius opened the window with his wand, and the owl flew in, dropped the shrunken package on its feet, and blinked at him.

Lucius stared at it for a moment, then tapped his wand.

Dobby appeared beside him, watching him in fear.

"Prepare some owl food for it." He finished casually, and turned sideways to check the gift.

Dobby bowed tremblingly, poking his pointed nose into the floor.

Lucius didn't care about that at all.

He is proud and ruthless, often being mean to house-elves.

This is very normal for him because he was born into such a family.He has many house elves. Generations of Malfoys have created the current empire, and he has built it to be more glorious and inviolable. He is an extremely powerful wizard.Also, he has many spells that can make house-elves miserable, and he can make their life worse than death if he wants to.

Dobby took one last look at him, and withdrew to tend the owl.

Lucius sat by the bed and restored the gift to its original size, but he was afraid to open it.

He raised his eyes and looked at the window where the owl was eating.

He hesitated a little, but finally opened the gift.

It certainly comes from Vanessa.

He remembered what her owl looked like.

Back then, due to the general environment, she deliberately picked an owl that was ordinary, neither shabby nor outstanding, so as not to attract any special attention.Now that the situation has stabilized, she never thought about changing to a more special one.

The gift that Vanessa sent was also very ordinary, but looking at this gift, Lucius' heart that had been frozen all night instantly melted.

It is a scarf.

He actually has a lot of scarves, there are countless hanging in the closet, but this one is different from the others.

It was woven by Vanessa herself.

Lucius remembered how she was crying that night.

He felt his mood change little by little, holding a soft and warm scarf in his hand, even the mean and unkind expression on his face became more vivid.

Dobby appeared in front of him in fear, bent down and said, "Master, the owl has left."

Lucius glanced at it, then looked at the closed windows and everything that had been packed, and said flatly, "Well done, let's go."

Dobby looked at Lucius in surprise, with tears welling up in his eyes, but he didn't dare to cry in front of him. After disappearing, he hid and cried.

Lucius took out the scarf from the gift box, and slowly tied it on. In fact, it didn't fit his current attire, but he tied it on, and he was a little reluctant to take it off.

Wearing this scarf, Lucius lowered his deep eyes, and he told himself that the answer he was expecting was not far away.

After Christmas, until Hogwarts' holiday in June, nothing happened.

Of course, this is safe and sound in the eyes of outsiders.

All the gunpowder smoke appears where people can't see it.

At Christmas, the Dark Lord appeared at Hogwarts, right behind Quirrell's bagged head.

It wasn't just Harry Potter, his destined enemy, against him.

And Dumbledore, Regulus, and Lucius.

The Dark Lord was attached to the back of Quirrell's head, with only a hideous and blurred face. He saw two of his most proud subordinates, standing beside Dumbledore, staring at him indifferently.

He was furious then.

As a broken soul, he almost lost in the confrontation with Harry Potter, let alone the powerful adult wizard.

Lucius and Regulus are his subordinates, and he knows their strength.

So he tried to escape, but he failed.

Regulus stopped him and sealed off the entire room, and he turned into a cloud of black mist, unable to go anywhere.

The last to appear was Snape.

The Dark Lord knew he had been betrayed when he was in Albania, but he didn't know then that Snape was among those who betrayed him.

He rarely despaired when he saw the potion Snape had thrown at him.

Yes, desperate.

He could smell the smell of the potion, and he remembered it deeply.

This memory, along with his death, will completely disappear in this world.

"Has he disappeared completely?"

When the summer vacation came, Dumbledore and Lucius met again.

"I think so, Lucius." Dumbledore said standing behind the table, "I've been verifying this for the past few months, and Regulus has completely destroyed himself with Harry's help. soul, and removed the fake scar on Harry's head. I think we beat Tom, for good and for all."

Lucius remained silent, Dumbledore asked him: "I plan to reveal the true identities of you and Regulus to everyone, do you think this is the right time?"

Lucius didn't answer directly, but asked him, "What did Regulus say?"

Dumbledore said with a smile: "He, like you, asked me what you said first."

Lucius twitched his lips as a response.

Dumbledore said: "I plan to announce your identities together - as for Severus, he doesn't want anyone to know what he has done, nor does he need others to know what he is doing at the moment. He is willing to take it all until Forever, even if it means bearing a lifetime of infamy."

He was just punishing himself in disguise.

Lucius thought indifferently in his heart, and after a while he said, "Don't make this public for now."

Dumbledore was not surprised, he said with a smile: "I guess you will answer in the same way. Regulus also said that he will act with you when you are willing to announce."

Lucius pursed his lips slightly and said, "It seems that I have to thank him well."

"I think so. Without Regulus, our operation would definitely not be so smooth. We couldn't even stop the last trace of Tom's soul trying to escape."

Lucius had nothing to say to Dumbledore, and Dumbledore had obviously guessed why he didn't want to announce it now - he wanted to talk about it when Vanessa agreed to marry him.

That deadline is less than a month away.

Lucius returned home after leaving Hogwarts, and just as he got his footing, the Aurors rushed in.

"Temporary search, Mr. Malfoy." Kingsley said holding a search warrant, "A temporary search for dark magic items approved by the Auror Office."

Lucius stood in front of Draco who wanted to go up to reason, and said with a smile, "Please let me see the search warrant."

Kingsley handed him the search warrant comfortably, and Lucius returned it after a quick look.

"Then please." After he finished answering, he lowered his tone and said, "Dobby, Kona."

Two house elves appeared beside him, and under Kingsley's watchful eyes, Lucius said indifferently: "Mr. Aurors probably don't understand our living habits and the rules of the manor. You should be careful when they search. , Cooperate and guide them as much as possible, understand?"

Orr came out unhappy and said, "We don't need stupid elves to guide us."

Lucius glanced at him contemptuously, and Orr got even angrier.It doesn't matter if there was Sirius Black before, he recognized it, but what happened to Lucius Malfoy later?The ruler of a pure-blood noble who has nothing to do with Vanessa actually wants to marry a half-blood witch, even though he already has a pure-blood heir, but... But this is too much fun!Are their pure-blood nobles so "close to the people" now? !

"You will need it." Lucius said lightly, and took Draco away directly.

The Aurors looked at each other and searched under the evil gaze of the house-elf.

"There's no reason for this kind of search, Dad," Draco said grumpily. "Why should they? A bunch of Gryffindor idiots . . . "

"Don't say such things, Draco." Lucius said coldly.

"But I'm just telling you, Dad." Draco pursed his lips.

"Of course it's okay to face me, but with your character and ability, I'm worried that after you get used to being in front of me, you will be open-mouthed in front of other people, just like you did in front of Mr. Potter."

...Hey again!What is going on!He had written so many checks and copied the Malfoy house rules so many times that Draco was drooping, frustrated.

However, his father loved him after all, he thought.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken him to Knockturn Alley in order to make up for the accusations against him at the time?

Lucius did take Draco to Knockturn Alley after several Ministry raids to search Malfoy Manor.

They went to Bokin Bok's store.

Lucius led Draco through the shop, lounging at the display, and rang the bell on the table.

"Don't touch anything, Draco." He reminded his son beside him.

Draco was about to reach out to touch the strange eyeball on the table at this moment, but he immediately withdrew his hand when he heard his father's words, pursed his lips and said, "I thought you were going to buy me a present."

Lucius clasped the counter with his hand in boredom: "I promised to buy you a broom for competition."

Thinking about Quidditch, Draco was a little bit emboldened, and muttered, "If I can't be a member of the college team this year, what's the use of buying a broom?" He said a little angrily, "Harry Potter got a Nimbus 2000 last year... Dumbledore chartered him to represent Gryffindor House in the first year! He doesn't deserve it at all..." At this point he made a special snort before continuing, " Just because he's famous! Just because he has a stupid scar on his forehead!" He was even angrier at the thought of Senna's attention to the scar, "everyone thinks he's really good—great Boy Who Lived, And his broom!"

Lucius frowned and looked at his son. When Draco started school, he would find that the scar on the savior's head was gone. Maybe he would be happier then?But he didn't tell him that right now.

He just said, "You've told me that at least ten times." He leaned against the counter, stopping him from going on, "I want to remind you, Draco, that when most people see Mr. It would be unwise for you not to pretend to like the hero who drove the Dark Lord away—oh, Mister Borgin."

A hunched man appeared behind the counter, pushing back his greasy hair.

"Mr. Malfoy, it's a pleasure to see you again," said Mr. Borgin in a tone as oily as his hair. "It's a great honor - and Master Malfoy - welcome. What can I do for you?" ? I must show you, I just bought it today, and the price is very fair—”

"I'm not shopping today, Bojin, I'm here to sell." Lucius said impatiently.

Hearing what he said, the smile on Bojin's face narrowed a little, but it still remained.

"Sell something?" he asked.

"You must have heard that the Ministry of Magic has recently stepped up their search for dark magic items." Lucius said, taking out a roll of parchment from the inside pocket of his clothes, and unfolding it to Bo Jin, "My house There are some—things that might inconvenience me, and you can look at them at will."

Borgin put on a pair of pince-nez and looked down at the list.

While Bokin was looking at the list, Lucius suddenly noticed an emerald ring on the counter.

It's not a diamond, it's not a gem, it's a crystal clear emerald.

Lucius frowned suddenly, glanced at Bo Jin who was studying the list carefully, and when he raised his head, he said lightly, "Can you show me that?"

Borgin looked at an ancient and beautiful ring on the counter, and said excitedly: "Ah! Of course! A ring from Slytherin!" He enthusiastically took the ring out of the counter, "You must see Look, Mr. Malfoy, this will definitely please you, it looks so beautiful, it is said to be a relic from a pure-blood nobleman who was gifted by Slytherin hundreds of years ago-"

Glad it wasn't the resurrection stone ring that belonged to Marvolo Gaunt that killed Dumbledore.

Lucius held the ring calmly, his gray-blue eyes looked at it peacefully, as if he had seen Vanessa put it on.

As it checked the ring, Draco pointed eagerly at a withered human hand on the counter mat, "What's that?"

Bojin looked over, dropped Lucius' list in an instant, and shouted loudly: "Ah, the Hand of Glory!" He rushed to Draco excitedly, "Put a candle in, only the one holding it Only a man can see the light! A thief and robber's best friend! Your son has good eyesight, sir." He glanced at Lucius.

Lucius said coldly, "I hope my son will be better than thieves and robbers, Borgin."

Bojin immediately realized that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Malfoy, I didn't mean that..."

Lucius said in a colder tone: "You may be right, he can only do those things."

Draco snapped back angrily, "It's not my fault, Dad, the teachers are biased, that Hermione Granger..."

Lucius interrupted him with a frown: "Don't talk to me like that, Draco. I thought you would be ashamed that a girl from a non-wizard family can surpass you in the test every time."

A strange laugh sounded, and Lucius immediately looked up and looked around. He stared at a large black cabinet, as if he had noticed something, and showed a strange smile.

"Then, let's get back to business." Lucius urged Bokin to read through his list, negotiated the price, and fixed the time for Bokin to pick up the goods at Malfoy Manor, and bought the ring again.Among them, of course, Bo Jin deliberately raised the price, but to his surprise, Lucius, who had always been stingy and cruel to people like Bo Jin, unexpectedly did not bargain.

"Then, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you, Mr. Malfoy. I hope you will still come to me next time you have something good. But the Ministry of Magic shouldn't dare to trouble you again, right?" Bokin said slickly.

Lucius glanced at the black cabinet behind him again, and someone seemed to be staring at him.

He squinted his eyes a little, and said calmly: "With your good words, Bojin, they probably won't come again. The Malfoy family still has a little prestige, doesn't it? But..." He said meaningfully, "All There's been a lot of meddling folks here lately. Rumor has it that they're about to introduce a new Muggle Protection Act - which must be played by that scruffy fool Arthur Weasley, who loves Muggles the most. "

Borgin responded to Lucius very obediently, and there was a strange, angry sound from the black cabinet, which even Draco noticed.

He wanted to check, but Lucius' cane caught him at a critical moment.

"Come here, Draco." He said angrily.

The older the child grows, the more rebellious he becomes, not very obedient, and always getting into trouble.Lucius didn't want Draco to become unscrupulous because of his doting, and he tried his best to be a strict father, but—it didn't seem to have any effect.

He left Bokin's shop with Draco.

Old Bokin stood at the door to see him off, with an extremely obsequious tone, and after the father and son left, he whispered: "Goodbye, Mr. Malfoy, if those legends are true, the things you sold to me will still be returned." Less than a third of your private possession at Malfoy Manor..."

After mumbling, he entered the room, and after a while, Harry Potter, covered in dirt, crawled out of the black cabinet.

Is that Uncle Lucius whom Cena raved about?

Why is it completely different from what she said?

He seemed...not at all as easy to get along with as Ron's dad.

But...that's the elder Senna likes after all.

According to Cena, he has been visiting her almost every day for the past few years.

If Senna likes it... maybe he has some misunderstanding about Mr. Malfoy.

Harry shook his head and ran out of Borgin's shop.

At this time Lucius had already taken Draco to buy books, and Draco said as he walked, "Dad, why did you buy that ring? It's really expensive, and it's not necessarily as valuable as the old guy said." backing."

Lucius thought of the appearance of the ring, and seemed to see Vanessa's emerald eyes.

A few smiles appeared on his calm face, and he whispered: "It's worth it."

Draco looked at the smile on his father's face thoughtfully, then suddenly realized, and said with a bright smile: "Father, if I can help you, how will you reward me?"

Lucius paused, and didn't even pay attention to Arthur Weasley when he saw Arthur Weasley in Lihen Bookstore.

"Help me? You?" His tone was full of doubts.

Draco said dissatisfied: "My action is more convenient than yours - that ring, I can make Aunt Vanessa accept it."

Lucius: "...you know I'm going to give it to her."

"Father, even a fool can see this. I just lost to Granger in grades, and I will definitely come back next year. Don't really take me for a fool."

Facing his son's accusation, Lucius remained silent for a long time, until...he saw Vanessa who came to buy textbooks with Cena.

She wore a green dress, which reminded him of the ring again.

Her hair was untied, and her long golden curls glistened in the sun.
