[HP] love

Seeing Lucius' clear expression, Hill couldn't help feeling nervous and suspicious.He really couldn't believe that the other party really knew his secret. Was such a strange thing as human alchemy also common in Malfoy's eyes?Clenching his fist uncertainly, he felt his heart beating non-stop.

Seeing his reaction, Lucius became more confident in his guess, and the expression on his face became more complacent. He deliberately raised his eyebrows, and said in a disdainful tone: "Don't think it's anything special. Things, in the aristocratic world, these are just tricks!"

Hill felt more and more embarrassed. He wanted to disbelieve what the other party said, but he really couldn't refute it.He clenched his teeth tightly together, and there was a hint of surprise and uncertainty in the drooping eyelids.After being silent for a while, he waited until his tangled mood calmed down a bit, and then he said, "Mr. Malfoy, I'm sorry about that night." He knew that when facing Malfoy, the only countermeasure for him now is to show weakness .In fact, he wanted to ask if his wand was still there, but in this state, if the other party didn't mention it, Hill couldn't open his mouth.

Sure enough, Lucius didn't show any surprise when he heard this answer.He just took a light look at Hill, who still refused to say more, and said indifferently: "Of course I know this, you don't have the guts to do anything to me on purpose."

Hill's uneasy mood was relieved in an instant.

"However, being taken away on a Malfoy's bed is something I didn't expect." Lucius' expression remained unchanged, but Hill could hear the seriousness in his words, and couldn't help becoming nervous again.

"Sorry..." After holding back for a long time, he still only uttered two words, and the voice was about the size of a mosquito.

Feeling the ups and downs of the other party's mood in his heart, Lucius felt a little funny.In his estimate, he could feel Hill's emotions, which should be caused by the magic power injected into his body at that time. He was afraid of this matter at first, but now he finds that it seems quite interesting.But he still asked calmly: "So, who is that person?"

Biting his lip, Hill hesitated for a long time, "That's my butler Stuart." He knew that if he didn't tell, the other party would still be able to find out, so it's better to confess now, and perhaps gain trust.

As he expected, Lucius nodded knowingly, "You didn't lie, that's fine." He gave him a rewarding look as if he was stating a trivial matter, "I hope you can always be kind to Mal. Fu's loyalty." As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the door with graceful steps.

Hill looked at Lucius' figure confusedly, he didn't understand what this sentence meant to him at all.In this conversation, he didn't even ask what happened that night, did he just let himself express his loyalty to the Malfoy family?Hill couldn't figure out what Lucius was thinking.

At the moment when he was about to step out the door, Lucius suddenly thought of something, paused, "Xiaolong said you didn't reply." After speaking, he left without looking back.

Hill opened his mouth, but did not speak.He was a little surprised, is this telling himself that he can continue to associate with Xiaolong?This instruction, which was completely opposite to the previous one, seemed to be showing favor to him, but why would Mr. Malfoy do such a thing?He really hoped that he was thinking too much, but it seemed that there was no other reasonable reason besides this explanation.

But no matter what the other party's purpose is, he has no room to object.For the Malfoy family, even if he is already the head of the Stoke family, it is too insignificant.Moreover, he didn't have any hatred for Draco and the Malfoy family, or he still had a little gratitude.Draco extended a sincere hand of friendship to himself regardless of his status; and the Malfoy family provided a bargaining chip in his favor when he was most embarrassed, although Hill also paid the same price. something.

So as soon as he got home, he wrote back to Draco as soon as possible.The letter first expressed that I was too busy dealing with family issues during this period, so I postponed the time to reply to him, and I hope he doesn't mind.Then he introduced his life in the Stoke family in a more cordial tone than before. Anyway, his boss had already approved the two of them as friends, and this intimacy was of course included in the permission.

At this moment, Hill is the only master left in the Stoke family.Old Stoke seemed to be out on a date again. Although he didn't know how a beauty like Mrs. Zabini would fall in love with this old man without grace, it was indeed beyond his control.

After replying to Xiaolong, Hill took out the mail-order brochure of Lihen Bookstore by the way, outlined the bibliography he needed on it, and handed the two letters to John together.Seeing it fly out leisurely, Hill breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, it is more convenient to buy books or something by mail order, at least you won't meet people you don't want to meet.

Thinking of this, he sighed again.The meeting with Lucius was really unexpected, and he didn't ask for his wand back in the end, not because he didn't want to, but because he really didn't have the guts.Thinking of this, Hill became depressed.

He took out the bag from Bojinbok Magic Store in Knockturn Alley from his arms, stroked it twice, and Hill stood up.He decided to check the small box in the basement study first. Frida's secrets were so fascinating that he couldn't help but want to explore them.There was a hint of hope in Hill's heart, maybe it was really his father's thing, but he couldn't believe it completely, this feeling seemed to be the most entangled emotion he had after he was born... Sighing again, Hill suddenly I feel that my life is really a tragedy. No matter what I try to achieve, it seems that it will end without a problem.

He closed his eyes for a few seconds, and when he opened them again, he was already clear. He stood up and walked out of the room. This is indeed not the time to complain about himself. If what Stuart said is true, then take back yourself What is the most important thing at the moment.But all of this starts with finding out the truth, and the truth of this secret seems to be unraveled from this small box!

Putting on the gloves, Hill carefully stretched out his hand towards the unknown small box.It's not that he doesn't trust Bo Jin's integrity. He has been in business for so many years in a place like Knockturn Alley. Except for the low-income and high-selling methods, his vision and reputation are the most trustworthy, not to mention that this is from Mal. There is no doubt about the quality of Fu Manor's stuff.But he wasn't really sure what was in the box that would allow Frieda to hide it in such a hidden place.

The exquisite box seems to have a certain mysterious color. Hill can tell with his superficial knowledge of alchemy that the patterns on it are all variants of ancient runes. There must be something that needs special protection inside. !He slowly moved it to his eyes, carefully observing every fine line, trying to find a way to open it.But he immediately discovered that this seemed to be a difficult thing to do. The places covered by the ancient runes were connected together. If he wanted to open the box, he had to undo the shackles first.

This was the first time Hill faced a puzzle about alchemy, not only because he wanted to know the secrets in the box, but he himself was also very interested in the way this ancient rune was used.He took the banknotes from the table with great interest. He first drew all the runes on the parchment, and then drew aside the letters he could distinguish, trying to find the connection above.But he soon discovered that if he couldn't recognize all the runes and absolutely couldn't connect them into a sentence, then the box would never be opened.

But this seemed to increase Hill's curiosity and interest. He first put all of Frida's things back in the drawer, then checked the bibliography in the study, and finally took out a few books related to ancient magic texts to read. stand up.It wasn't until Stuart knocked on the door of the study that he raised his head.

"Master Hill, Master Bailey invites you to go to the study to discuss something." The old housekeeper said respectfully.

Hill pondered for a while, until now he didn't know how to face Bailey Stoker.Although he said that he didn't believe the old housekeeper's words, he knew clearly that he had long regarded Bailey as an enemy in his heart, and even began to imagine how to drive Bailey out of the family as soon as he got the answer!After living under Bailey's authority for so many years, the first thought of this kind of thought made Hill a little apprehensive, but more urgent.Merlin, is he impatient to seize power?Shaking his head, he felt that his thoughts were really terrible.

"Master Hill?" Seeing that he didn't respond, Stuart urged again.

"I'll go right away." Hill nodded and motioned to the other party, "Do you know what it is?" He asked as he walked.

"Master Bailey didn't say anything, but I saw that Mrs. Zabini was there." The old butler replied.

Hearing this sentence, Hill lowered his eyes, he knew that this family seemed to be about to change.Looking at the sunlight coming in from the windows in the corridor, his steps suddenly became firmer.Stuart followed behind him, watching his young master's steady steps in the sunshine, suddenly felt that something was different at this moment.
