The Secret History of Platinum

"Finally back again." Malfoy, father and son, said inwardly at the same time.

Abu is very happy to be able to return to the home where he has lived in this life for so many years, but compared to his happiness, Lucius' mood is extremely complicated.

Lucius in the previous life was born, grew up, married and had children, and died here. It can be said that every place in Malfoy Manor has his memories.But these memories are not only happy memories, there are also some shameful memories that don't want to be mentioned.Forced to let the Weasleys search it at will, forced to let Lord Voldemort regard this place as the stronghold of Death Eaters, forced to let Malfoy's dignity be trampled... this time I absolutely want to keep this place peaceful and beautiful forever, I don't want to Will be discrediting the name Malfoy, Lucius swore to himself.

In the respectful and expectant eyes of countless house elves, the two father and son entered Malfoy Manor.

According to social practice, Abramovich sent letters to various families who had a good relationship with the Malfoy family, telling them that Abraxas Malfoy had returned to England.This marks Malfoy's imminent return to the social circle.Abu believes that invitations to various tea parties, banquets, and dances will come like snowflakes.

As previously planned, Abramovich will take Lucius with him.Lucius will officially enter the British aristocratic wizarding circle, but before that, Abramovich plans to take Lucius to the Muggle world first.

Although Lucius is more mature than his peers, if the people around him are full of pure-blood supremacy, eliminating Muggles and the like, then Lucius's thoughts will also tend to be pure-blood, which is what Abu doesn't want to see arrived.

As an aristocratic wizard, Abu knows that their nobles hold the land and workshops of the wizarding world in their hands, and use this to earn income.This is the current situation of wizarding society, but it is not difficult to find that this is a portrayal of life in Muggle society before and after the Industrial Revolution. In other words, wizarding society is almost 100 years behind Muggle society in terms of productivity.Pushing forward 300 years, the wizarding society at that time was not backward than the Muggle society, but more advanced than the Muggle society.This is so similar to Chinese history. Abu, who was a Chinese in his previous life, naturally knows that China, which was once ahead of European countries at the same time in the feudal society Han, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, went to the Qing Dynasty. After the industrial revolution began in Europe, it was still closed. Strong ships and sharp guns knocked on the country's gate.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten.Abu, who was a Muggle in his previous life, never believes that Muggles are weak. He always believes that if the existence of wizards is exposed again, then the witch hunting movement will rise again. The only thing waiting for wizards is the experimental benches of various research institutes, Malfoy Surnames such as , Blake and even Slytherin will only be replaced by experimental product numbers one by one.Of course, Abu is not a supporter of the theory of eliminating Muggles or ruling Muggles. He believes that wizards are human beings, and Muggles are also human beings. They all live under the same blue sky. They are like different races according to their own living habits. living.

Abramovich's goal is to make wizards face up to the development of Muggles, and change the rigid thinking of wizards, especially noble wizards, without shaking the status of nobles. Even if the wizarding society is really exposed to ordinary people one day, they will not be a group. Lamb for slaughter.After he took over the Malfoy family, he took advantage of the situation of Muggle society waiting to be rebuilt after World War II, secretly invested in the Muggle world, and secretly sent people to study how those Muggle items could be transformed to be used in the wizarding world, so that wizards People in the world unknowingly accept Muggle items, improving perceptions of Muggles.

Right now, Abramovich can only do this, because with his status, if he blatantly raises the banner of facing Muggles squarely and changing the wizarding world, then I am afraid that he will be called a "pure-blood traitor" even more terrifying than the Weasley family. , Malfoy's surname will also be humiliated.No matter when or where, Abramovich will not joke about Malfoy's honor.

Lucius is Abu's only child, and Abu thinks that he will never have another child, so Lucius will take over the Malfoy family sooner or later, and Abu hopes that he can take over what he is doing now.Therefore, Abu didn't want Lucius to be influenced by those nobles after contacting them, so it was imperative to arrange a trip to the Muggle world before Lucius integrated into the circle of noble wizards.

One day in September 1959, a father and son with very conspicuous appearance walked into a certain commercial building. "Father, do we have to go see that Muggle?" Lucius, who was wearing a children's suit, touched the collar uncomfortably. Even in his previous life, he had never worn a Muggle's clothes.Early this morning, my father said he was going to meet a Muggle business partner, and ordered the house-elf to dress him up like this.Merlin!Lucius couldn't help exclaiming, even when he was the head of the family, he invested a little money in the Muggle society, but when did Malfoy condescend to meet those lowly Muggles?

"Yes, Luke. As my heir, you must learn to deal with all kinds of people, even a Muggle. Today is a test for you." Abu wore the same style of suit as Lucius, and Unlike Lucius, who was a little stiff, he seemed very at ease.God knows how much resentment Abu has for the wizard robes. The style is single and not conducive to sports. Wizards have been wearing the same wizard robes for hundreds of years.

What they are going to meet today is a middle-aged, fat, bald businessman named White. Although he looks more like a chef in appearance, Mr. White is not as harmless as his appearance. He is a very shrewd businessman who quickly seized the war The next business opportunity reaped amazing profits.

After having a friendly discussion with Mr. White on some business issues, Abramovich expressed his apology that Mr. White had to work on Saturday and could not spend time with his family in a timely manner.Mr. White kindly invited Abu and his son to his house for dinner.

Under Abu's repeated false excuses, he and Lucius finally got into Mr. White's car.Lucius listened attentively to the conversation between his father and Mr. White on the surface, but in fact he was very confused inside.Although I have taken the Hogwarts Express which is said to be similar to Muggle trains when I was a student, this is the first time I have taken this thing called "car" or "can".It is not as small as a compartment of the Hogwarts Express, and the speed is not as fast as the wizard's way of travel, but it feels much more comfortable than the wizard's portkey and apparition.And the seat is more comfortable than a broom.Although I have to stop from time to time because of the constantly changing lights, why use red, yellow and green? Silver, green, and platinum are more beautiful, and why not install more lights?

Stretching his head out of the car, Lucius saw a bus full of people, and also saw many tall buildings that made him unclear how many floors there were. Think of the Ollivander Wand Shop in Diagon Alley, Gringotts, the tallest building in the wizarding world, Lucius was very entangled for a while. It seemed that Diagon Alley needed to be refurbished.

With these questions and entanglements, Lucius came to Mr. White's house.Although he made a lot of money, Mr. White did not choose to live in the high-end villa area. This is a middle-class community where single-family families have their own lawns and yards.

Mrs. White and their pair of children warmly received their father and son.When the elders were chatting before eating, the two children of the White family took Abu to their game room to play.Under Abu's gesture, Lucius reluctantly followed the two little ones.

Lucius-Bun-faced Uncle Heart-Malfoy first accompanied the little girl of the White family to appreciate the little girl's doll collection, and then used the rhetoric of the old Slytherin prince to coax the little girlfriend to persuade the two children to play some "high-end" dolls. , Connotative" game.So the White boys contributed his pistols, airplanes, and tank models.

Lucius had never seen a pistol, an airplane, or a tank, so he figured out what these things were by using clichés.Merlin!The bullets fired from a pistol can be equivalent to the effect of the Avada Kedavra, and the shells fired by those tanks and the bombs dropped by the plane are equivalent to hundreds of Kedavra.Merlin, are you kidding, it's not true.What once a plane dropped a bomb on an island country and killed tens of thousands of people!Are there that many people in the wizarding world in Britain?Are there so many wizards in Europe?Lucius suddenly felt that he was in a cold sweat.Damn old bee, is this the Muggle you're protecting? !

Dinner was finished in Lucius' distraught.After dinner, adults and children stay in the living room to drink tea, chat and watch TV.

Looking at the moving characters and changing scenes on TV, Lucius was even more surprised.Looking at the telephones and lighting fixtures in the room, even Muggles could do what wizards couldn't do.At a time when wizards, even aristocratic wizards, were using fireplaces and candles, Muggle lives were so far ahead of them.

At this time, a piece of news broadcast on TV caught everyone's attention.Just today, on September 1952, 9, the Soviet Union launched the "Luna 12" probe, which successfully hit the surface of the moon and became the first spacecraft to hit the surface of the moon.Looking at the unclear launch and impact scenes on TV, Lucius didn't even have the energy to shout to Merlin.While wizards were still fighting in their nests on the ground, Muggles had turned their attention to the so-called outer space.In Lucius' mind, the so-called old bees and the Dark Lord were completely reduced to two punks who led a group of little kids to play house and fight in groups.

What is the meaning of the so-called black and white dispute?Should Muggles be protected or eliminated and enslaved?Will wizards be wiped out by Muggles one day?Lucius was a little confused.

Seeing Lucius' confused look, Abu smiled with satisfaction.
