Atonement of HP

Chapter 25 The Oath

Now that Lucius knew about it, it wasn't surprising that Abrathas saw his son follow Snape into the Malfoy's secret room a few days later.As usual, Abraxas made a meaningful expression, Snape remained unresponsive, but Lucius looked a little embarrassed, and even blushed slightly.

Abraxas was so startled that he almost wanted to throw the staff out, Merlin's beard!A Malfoy is actually shy!Look at Snape's obliviousness, Abrathas suddenly has a strange sense of balance, making you shy, making you blush, and it's not the same as making any progress.

Today they got together mainly to reach a cooperation agreement in the future. After a long trial and compromise, Snape and the Malfoy family basically reached an agreement on the following issues.

First of all, the Malfoy family will not seek refuge with the Dark Lord, and Snape will try to remain neutral as much as possible.

Secondly, Malfoy's family and Snape share information on the issue of the Dark Lord, and the two sides are honest with each other.

In the end, Snape promised that he would never do anything to harm the Malfoy family.

After talking about these points, Abraxas unexpectedly asked for an unbreakable spell. Snape felt strange, but he still raised his wand obediently. He had no clue about the failure of the contract last time, but the Malfoy family is an old brand after all. Noble, there may be other explanations.So Snape thought he would ask about the contract later, Lucius was still there, and he didn't want him to feel that there was something wrong with him.

"It's not me, it's Lucius." Abraxas looked at Snape's puzzled eyes. Should he thank this Slytherin for his trust?Abraxas resented his cunning for a moment in his mind, but was quickly dispelled by Lucius' blushing expression when he entered.Anyway, the two of them benefited, and for the future of the Malfoy family, he had to make all the preparations.

Lucius didn't refuse. He wished that all the contracts about his Sif were made with him. So, with the two wands facing each other, Abraxas made a thick book out of nowhere, and the wand asked With a wave, a line of silver characters twisted and appeared in front of Lucius, and Abraxas motioned him to read it accordingly.

"I, Lucius Malfoy, swear by my blood that everything I say is true, and I will take my promised will as my will, and I will never betray my contractor." Lucius read more The more he felt strange, but the magic contract always required clear words, and he followed the rules.

Abraxas nodded, and with a wave of his wand, a similar line of words appeared in front of Snape. With Lucius' demonstration, Snape had no other ideas.

"I, Severus Snape, swear by my soul that everything I say is true, and that I will never betray my contractor."

As soon as the voice fell, two silver light beams appeared from the wands of Lucius and Snape at the same time, and connected into a small silver light ball in the middle.

"In the name of Merlin," said Abraxas' voice, "Lucius, Malfoy, are you willing to protect Severus Snape's secret, no matter what the circumstances?"

"I do." Lucius replied.

"Then," Abrathas turned to Snape: "Severus Snape, are you willing to do everything you can to protect Lucius Malfoy, and never reveal the partnership between the Malfoy family and you?"

Although Snape found it strange that Abraxas emphasized "cooperative relationship", he still replied, "I would."

"Then, the contract is established."

The ball began to shine brightly, and a vine pattern began to appear on the wrists of Snape and Lucius. It twisted and twisted in a circle at first, and then began to grow tiny leaves. The vines on Snape's wrist It stopped here, and Lucius's bloomed half more.

Snape looked curiously at his different magic lines from Lucius's, and wanted to ask, but he didn't want Lucius to know that he failed to make a contract with Abraxas.Lucius grabbed Snape's wrist, "Father, our magic patterns are different, has the contract failed?"

Abraxas looked at the silver lines on the wrists of the pair of teenagers with some emotion, but he was really surprised by the depth of his son.

"Of course it succeeded." He resumed his usual aristocratic appearance, "This is the ancient contract recorded by the Malfoy family. How could it not be successful?!"

Lucius heaved a sigh of relief, but he didn't let go of Snape's hand. No matter how slow Snape was, he could sense something was wrong. Thinking of the other party's father standing in front of him, Snape turned black and pinched hard. Lucius once, and Lucius would not let go, just kidding, is it easy for him to finally have a chance to take advantage?Now Lucius couldn't be more upset about being in the same dormitory with Snape last year, it was definitely a good thing!

Snape was once again defeated by Lucius' thick skin, and he had more important things to do. "About your death, Uncle Abraxas..." He hesitated.

Lucius' expression also changed, although he still didn't let go.

"I remember you saying that you didn't know the cause of my death?" Abraxas said playfully.

"Yes, Lucius didn't tell me that you were dead when we met." Snape nodded.

Lucius knew that Snape was talking about himself in the "future" he had experienced, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart. The strength in his hands increased unconsciously, and he picked it up when he saw their similar magweave. Picked up the corner of his mouth.

"Now that I know, I will start preparing." Abraxas said gently.

Seeing Snape awkwardly being dragged out by his own son, Abraxas suddenly added maliciously: "Severus, if you have anything to ask me, just contact Luke directly. Oh, You have to pay more attention when you are at school. Luke, remember to give Severus a double-sided mirror, and use it to communicate with anything."

Both Lucius and Snape understood the meaning of Abraxas's words. Thinking of Lucius' spending time in his dormitory being brought up by his parents, Snape became a little annoyed, and he didn't even look at Lu. Hughes, with a snort, shook his hands and left.

Lucius looked at his father sadly, did he do it on purpose?It must be!

Abraxas's smiling expression suddenly changed, and then he said something thoughtless: "Luke, what are the first and second rules of Malfoy's family rules?"

Lucius was taken aback by Abraxas' solemn look, but immediately reflexively said, "The first rule of the family is to always value the family; the second rule is to put the family first."

"Remember what I said today, Luke, you will be the master of the Malfoy family in the future." Abraxas spoke earnestly.

"Yes." Lucius showed his most perfect posture, turned around and walked away with his chin raised at 15 degrees.

------------------------ I am the dividing line at the end of the Christmas holiday ------------------ -

Lucius and Snape went back to school early, and Abraxas had told them a lot about the situation in the past few days, and there was no benefit in confronting the Dark Lord's forces at this moment.The Malfoy family is indeed the largest noble in the British wizarding world, but there are also countless nobles who are eyeing the seat of the Malfoy family.

Soon, all the Slytherin snakes also returned to school, but it was obvious that more people greeted the heir of the Bridge family when he walked in the common room. It seemed that Voldmort This Christmas harvest is not small.

Compared with the previous semester, Snape seemed more low-key, and he could hardly be seen except in the classroom and Professor Slughorn's cellar, which also made Bridge, who was about to use Snape Liwei, even more depressed. Couldn't run to Snape's dormitory or drag his apprentice out in front of Professor Slughorn.Don't mention how he would refute the face of a potions master if he really did it, but the Lord's punishment is beyond the reach of the Bridge family. Does he know that the Lord is crazy about potions masters, and that Slughorn , just like his apprentice who doesn't know what is good or bad, he even said to think about it!Bridge thought of the only courageous glance he gave when he saw that lord for the first time. With just one glance, Bridge was attracted by the aura of superiority emanating from Lord, and his eyes were full of fanaticism ever since.

Gryffindor didn't feel the treachery of Slytherin at all, and Potter's inability to participate in Quidditch's punishment really made him honest for a long time.The most able to toss and stop making trouble, the other trio also followed suit.

Ravenclaw, on the other hand, seemed a little worried because of his marriage with Slytherin. The Hufflepuff badgers, who were always sensitive and fearful, had their own sources of information. Not long after school started again, Hufflepuff had After hearing the news that some students transferred to other schools, even if they did not leave, they would shrink their own existence even smaller. Who can say that avoiding danger is not a kind of ability?

Lucius is obviously the busiest of them all. The thank-you guests at Malfoy's house during the Christmas holiday made him have to visit the houses he should visit one by one after school starts. Since the Christmas ball should be the time for him to choose a wife, every Lucius The Slytherins that Hughes visited were accompanied by one or two young ladies, and they often responded with "this is my sister" or "this is our side cousin" without saying a few words... Such introductions appeared, Lucius They all faced each other with a smile on their faces, but their hearts were extremely irritated by these introductions.

Of course he knew his own thoughts, and he also believed that as long as he operated properly, Sev would be his sooner or later.Maybe it was because he was too eager for quick success that day, and his Sif had refused his visits several times since returning to school. Even with their contract, Sif also decisively cast a spell of neglect and asked him to do so.

Even if he wanted to force a visit, but thinking about Sif's previous "experience" that Abraxas said, and comparing it with his own small body, Lucius resolutely comforted himself in his heart that he just couldn't bear to make Sif unhappy.

The days passed quickly, and at the end of the semester, Dumbledore unexpectedly invited Lucius to his office.

Lucius entered the principal's office contentedly with Sev's worries, but Dumbledore's first words stunned him.

"Oh, Lucius, why don't you say anything about such a big thing? Which lady are you engaged to, so I can tell you that the engagement gift will be delivered to you."

Although Lucius reacted quickly, he was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, Dumbledore didn't pay attention. He heard that the Malfoy family didn't fall to that side. If that's the case, he should fight for it.

"Principal Dumbledore, you are joking, the Malfoy family has no plans to welcome a hostess at the moment." But there will be a hostess, Lucius added silently in his heart.

"Oh, my child, you don't need to hide from me, your contract has already stated everything!" Dumbledore only thought that Lucius was being cautious.

Lucius's brain exploded. Of course, he knew that someone with a much higher soul power than him could see through his Ignoring Curse, but Dumbledore obviously didn't know who the other party was, which meant that Sev's soul power was no better than the one in front of him. The white wizard is bad.Lucius was both happy and worried at the same time. He was happy that his family Sif was strong, but worried that he had to find a way to establish his own status. The Malfoy family never succumbed to others!

But, wait, Lucius quickly pulled back his divergent thoughts, contract, engagement... Lucius stared at his wrist with a complicated face, and he didn't care what Dumbledore said at all.What kind of contract is this...?
