[HP] Born Noble

Slytherin Code of Conduct 68: You can judge the situation, but never bow to the enemy In the school life of an ordinary fifth grader struggling with love, he temporarily forgot the imminent war. However, in the last month of [-], one after another bad news in reality broke this comfortable illusion.

Hagrid finally came back, embarrassed, and brought news of the same bad alliance of giants. Although he had persuaded some giants, Voldemort was also sending people to win over the giants, and it seemed that they were much more successful than their side.But this is not the worst part, just one afternoon before the Christmas holiday, Professor Snape stopped Draco and Harry who were going to lunch, a piece of bad news - from Dumbledore in The internal relations of the Ministry of Magic got it, "Peter Pedillo successfully escaped from prison last night," the professor's face seemed to know that he was about to be given a potion made by Longbottom, and he chose to notify the two little snakes immediately , just worried about that all-pervasive mouse, "The news has not been spread through formal channels. The principal is worried whether that old idiot Fudge will issue a timely warning to the whole society through the Daily Prophet. But you, if you still have a little bit in your mind If Slytherin is cautious, he should know that if Pedilu sneaks into Hogwarts, there will be no third person as the target, understand?"

"Yes, Dean."~~

"Yes, Professor."

The two little snakes looked at each other and were vigilant at the same time.

"Very well, let's go back to the hall."

But they all thought Minister Fudge wrong about the escape.I thought that Minister Fudge would cover up in every possible way after facing such a big omission, but the fact is that the day after Hogwarts Castle fully activated the defense system, the Daily Prophet reported heavily on the escape of Peter Pedilou, and It was a public statement made by the Ministry of Magic. Given that Peter Pedilou once killed thirteen Muggles with a spell, and was able to blame others afterwards, and escaped punishment for ten years, it can be seen that this person is bold, cruel and Treacherous and cunning, he is a very dangerous person, so the Ministry of Magic reminds the public to pay attention to safety.

This kind of news certainly aroused people's panic, anger and dissatisfaction, but this time, Minister Fudge adopted a quite different attitude from before, facing this emergency very actively, and deployed manpower in time, Auror commanded The center reacted quickly, throwing out a bunch of timely remedies.

In short - how should I put it - a blessing in disguise!

Everyone was dissatisfied and saw the tough side of this minister for the first time. Because of his timely handling and vigorous behavior, many people began to feel that this minister is not bad for anything. At least in this matter, he behaved It is an image of an iron fist that everyone can rely on and trust.

But also, because the Minister of Magic's reputation and impression points have risen, Minister Fudge can be very tough and ask to send a group of dementors to station (protect) at the gate of Hogwarts school—mainly for the safety of the school teachers and students and Harmony. Leigh Potter's Safety - The Ministry of Magic can no longer afford any unexpected nasties to happen.

On this point, Minister Fudge’s insistence overwhelmed the opposition of the minority in the government department (Lucius), and won the approval of public opinion among the public. Therefore, Principal Dumbledore’s objection was invalid in the end, and he had to make concessions. up.

Dementors - the worst of all the bad news before Christmas!

Their negative influence on Harry was stronger than imagined, and it had already begun to be seen during the summer vacation.So this time, when the dementors were stationed at the gate of the school, other students could pass them by with trembling fear and go to Hogsmeade for the last weekend before Christmas, but Harry couldn't at all, walking close to the dementors. When it was strange, Harry saw their tattered robes and hoods, their scabbed long fingers and the disgusting smell of corruption for the first time.

He felt that the air was suddenly cold, and the chill penetrated his skin and reached his heart. He was submerged, there was darkness, terror, he felt himself being pulled down infinitely, and then he heard the woman's scream again, Terrible, terrified and pleading scream, "Don't touch Harry...please don't touch Harry..."

"Harry! [Call God's Guard -]" Draco swung his wand and released his eagle just in time, and rushed towards those things until they drove them away, before picking up Harry who couldn't help but fell to the ground. "Are you okay?"

In fact, it was only for a short moment, but Harry's body now seemed to be fished out of the water-it was December and it was severe winter.

Draco dug out the chocolate from his pocket, broke off a large piece and stuffed it into his mouth, while dozens of quick drying and warming spells were thrown at him.

"I, I'm better, Draco." Harry barely helped him up, his face still pale, he heard his mother begging Voldemort...

"I think you'd better go to the medical wing."

"No, no!" Harry grabbed Draco and took a deep breath.He looked back towards the door, trying to raise his chin.Those dementors who were once driven away by Draco's Patronus now regrouped to wander around the school gate, "If that's what I fear, I have to learn to face it. Draco, I can't let myself be These disgusting guys are so scared that they can't even get out of the door for the rest of their lives!"

Seeing the firmness in Harry's eyes, Draco took a deep breath, clenched his wand tightly in his hand, "Okay, I'll be right there."

Harry practiced very hard.Draco looked at his pale face after being forced to fall again and again, and the cold sweat that could not be offset by the winter cold, but the bright green eyes were always burning with a strong and unquenchable flame, making himself afraid Overcoming and growing up in the process, never giving up-this is Harry, a little lion who can never erase the bravery and fearlessness of Gryffindor in his blood no matter where he is.

When Harry straightened up from the half-kneeling position again, he wiped away his sweat. Just now he heard the voice of his father, who was desperately protecting him and his mother...Harry turned around and saw the same exhausted German Raco.Draco didn't say anything, just stood beside him all the time, even if he had to release the Patronus again and again, and had to spend more effort to dispel the negative influence exerted on him by the dementor, he didn't say anything A half-sentence word that discourages or discourages.

Draco had always known him that way, supported and encouraged him.

[Harry, you are looking forward to finding a strong, firm, trustworthy and reliable person], Blaise said, [someone who can guide you to maturity, reason and perfection...].

Harry looked at Draco, thinking about Blaise's words that day, suddenly at this moment, he felt that the simple name of 'Draco' turned into a boiling current of warmth and courage, surging in his chest, flowing to Limbs and limbs, the scalding heat seemed to drive away all the cold, darkness and danger brought by the dementors-there has never been a time like this!

Harry grabbed his wand and exclaimed, "[Calling God—]"

A juvenile lion, visibly grown in size, leaped from Harry's wand and darted at the dementors.Harry watched the silver lion roaring away and tearing away those evil things. He felt a long-lost peace and protection. He slowly lowered his wand, turned back, and showed Draco a bright, joyful but hard-to-disguise look. Exhausted smile.

—At that moment, Draco thought he saw an angel.

There was no news of Peter Pedillo, the mouse, until he came home from the Christmas holiday. Harry returned to Black's old house, accompanied by the Weasleys and Hermione—for their safety, but De Laco went back to his home, and it was Lucius who personally asked him to go home this Christmas.

After Draco came home, Lucius said that there were some important things to tell him, so early the next morning after arriving home, Draco got dressed and knocked on the door of their master's study. "Dad, do you have something to tell me?" Draco looked around and found a surprise - the Hufflepuff gold cup that was originally on the mantelpiece was missing.

"Dad, where's the gold cup?"

"Return it to its original owner." Lucius glanced at the empty shelf, and there was nothing he was reluctant to part with. The matter was so important that he had to think more carefully.And it's not just as simple as putting it back in its original place, some related access records have also been erased.

Draco was a little more cautious. Hearing what his father said, it seemed that he believed that a large-scale escape from Azkaban would happen sooner or later. This was true in his previous life, but now he is not sure whether the escape will happen. Happen again... will it? "Father, isn't it safe for you to strengthen the vigilance of Azkaban now?"

"For the Dark Lord, there is no place that can be truly solid, but the price is different." Since the incident of Pedilu's escape, Lucius Malfoy's 'annual leave' has been cancelled. After Si returned to work, the first thing to do was to strengthen the management of Azkaban.But at the same time, Lucius also understood that if Pediru had found a way to escape from prison, the rest of them, no matter how they strengthened their defenses—as long as the Dark Lord wanted to, they would be able to escape from prison sooner or later.

"Okay, Draco, let's not talk about this, I called you here today mainly for some family matters," Lucius said in his opening remarks, "I noticed that you are already 15 years old, and it's time to learn to take on family responsibilities .”

The expression on Draco's face was strange. His father never said such a thing when he was 17 years old in his previous life.

There is a thick stack of files on Lucius' desk, "As the sole legal heir of the Malfoy family, your inheritance authority can take over and use all the power of the Malfoy family. In the future, you must learn to take on the responsibility of the entire Malfoy family. The expectations, honor and responsibilities of the family. These are the contractual documents about the inheritance rights, the legal documents of the Malfoy family’s entire estate and some unknown aspects, you need to sign, read it carefully, and ask me if you don’t understand anything.”

Draco looked at the volumes on the table like a hill, he knew about these, he was a short-lived patriarch for three years in his previous life, although he was short-lived, but he worked hard, so these are not difficult to learn.

But—why?

His father is only 39... 40 years old this year!

Had things gotten so bad now that his father had started planning for the future succession of the Malfoy family?

Draco accepted the task wordlessly, and couldn't help turning his head when he saw the pile of files, "Dad, why?"

His father probably didn't expect that he would turn his head back suddenly. At that moment, Draco caught the worried but resolute expression on his father's face.But in the blink of an eye again, as if he was dazzled again, the father behind the pear wood desk had returned to his usual elegance, maybe even smiled a little, "What's the matter, Draco?"

Draco had mixed feelings in his mind for a moment, he put down the things in his hands, and lowered his head to think for a long time, "Dad, is it dangerous to go to work at the Ministry of Magic now?"

"Well, Draco," Lucius resigned, "I don't want to pretend that after that man returns, all life will be as peaceful and peaceful as it has been for the past ten years, but Draco, your father is Malfoy The patriarch of the family is the senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, if even I am not safe, then in this wizarding world, I can't think of anyone who is safe."

"But it's different, because you have such a position and power, so the situation is more dangerous, and, I know you once followed him - oh! Dad, you don't think that your most proud heir is really He’s an innocent little idiot who can’t see anything.” Draco broke through the window paper for the first time, and simply stopped doing anything, “I also know that person is not a broad-minded person. Those..." Draco didn't want to use the word 'betrayal', he thought for a moment, "...people who disagreed, or let him down, never had a stomach for it."

Lucius raised one eyebrow, surprised at his son's mature thinking, but he did not hide his disgraceful past, "Then you should also know that Malfoy's lofty status in the heart of the Dark Lord was not just due to Family power, there are very few people who can surpass your father in terms of personal ability-these low-ranking people nowadays, how dare they come to provoke me?" Lucius raised his chin at a fifteen-degree angle.

Yes, father was confident, and Draco believed his father could be, too.But it doesn't rule out that the Dark Lord won't do it himself, does he?Using a precious Malfoy's life can serve as a powerful deterrent, a warning, or become the most perfect declaration of his return!

"Draco, he won't show up so hastily." Lucius knew what his son was thinking.He has followed that man for many years. Although that man is moody, he is one of the few people who can figure out the Dark Lord's mind. "He is not strong enough. He doesn't want people to know the fact that he has returned than Minister Fudge. I would rather I believe he will secretly trick that idiot Fudge to act according to his will, and he will not think that he dares to go to the Ministry of Magic to openly attack a Malfoy, and that will be the beginning of the real war. With his current strength, even though he is crazy, he will not Far from being so desperate."

Lucius looked at his son who was lost in thought, cleared his throat and interrupted him, he hadn't finished his entrustment about the future, the family business was only half of Malfoy's inheritance, "Draco, I want to talk to you about your personal problem."

"About what, father?"

"About your future partner and the bloodline of the Malfoy family."

Draco shivered and became completely cautious!He has already decided on this issue, and no one can change it, including his parents, Mrs. Black, and even Harry!

"Father, if you intend to give me a girl of the right family, or even worse, you have already found someone to ask for an immediate engagement, I can only say no. Because I have already found a suitable person for this issue. "

His Majesty Lucius leaned fully on the back of the chair, with the fingertips of both hands facing each other, forming a tower shape, "It's Harry, isn't it?"

This time the unexpected expression changed to Draco's face, "Well——I can only say that you are very well informed!"

Lucius spread his hands, "It's not news, it's speculation, and it's not difficult. Don't forget, you are my son."

Lucius stood up gracefully, took a bottle of 60-year-old cognac from the wine cabinet on the other side of the room, poured two glasses of wine, and gave one to Draco.

"Draco," Lucius said, leaning against the desk, crossing his chest, and standing relaxedly beside Draco, "I have to say, this is a very good and wise choice. Harry will undoubtedly help you and Mal The Fu family has brought infinite prestige and support, and after you combine, you will become the uncrowned kings in the wizarding world, of course, the premise is that you can really do it."

"I will."

Lucius nodded and raised his glass, "Then I congratulate you in advance."

"Thank you, Dad." Draco took the cup and took a sip happily.

After tasting the apricot and cherry taste of the red wine, Lucius became serious, "But I must tell you the advice from the Malfoy family, even if you decide that your future partner is Harry Potter, a possible The future savior who defeated the Dark Lord, but Malfoy's family motto will always be iron rules!"

"Please."

"Malfoy, born noble, never humbled—do you know what I mean?"

Draco pursed his lips and smiled, "I think so, Father."~~

Oh, no, Draco knew what his father meant, he never thought it was a problem—it wasn't that he underestimated Harry's ability, it was just two lives, purely empirical, I was afraid that the little black cat had a chance of turning over not much.

Lucius looked at the little gorgeous tail feathers behind his son and wished it could reach the ceiling—well, he didn't think it was a problem at first, but he had to make a procedural reminder.More important is the question below.

"Draco, I don't doubt that your relationship will allow you to have a happy and glorious future after you are united, but you must also remember that before you face glory, you will face a harsh war that may last for a long time .Malfoy, always take the family's blood inheritance as the first responsibility of the family, if..." Lucius paused suddenly, he wanted to make the worst psychological construction for the 'if' to continue to assume, "If, There was an accident in the war—”

"No, Father!" Draco interrupted his father resolutely, he knew what his father was assuming...but no, that kind of result would never happen!

"Draco, when it comes to responsibility, Malfoy never acts emotionally!" Lucius' tone became severe, "You must be mentally prepared for this! He and the Dark Lord can only live as one, that is to say , Harry has a 50.00% chance of being the loser—" Lucius raised his voice, not allowing his son to retort or interrupt, "Draco! Don't forget, I know the Dark Lord's skills, and I also Knowing Harry's level, advantages and the luck he once had, but in the face of a cruel war, you—must—have a correct perception!"

His father showed a rare sternness, and Draco froze there in a daze, before he hurriedly lowered his head after a while, in order to hide the emotions that were on the verge of losing control.Lucius couldn't see his son's vulnerable expression at this moment, but he could see that Draco's hand holding the wine glass was shaking, and the shaking was obvious.

Lucius couldn't help softening his attitude, "Draco, I know your choice. In this matter, all of us will do our best, but at the same time we must also prepare for the worst. If things really happen, I will I hope you don't forget your responsibilities to the Malfoy family!" That's what Lucius wanted to say, he didn't object to Draco choosing Harry as a mate, but he hoped that it wasn't the only mate in his life - if it happened Unfortunately!

Draco kept his head down, trying to control his emotions, but later, he still had to put the wine glass on the edge of the table, and then rubbed his hands very vigorously, after that, he rubbed his face with his hands vigorously, in order to Take this to calm.Finally, Draco took a deep breath and raised his head, perhaps there was still a little abnormal twist in the corner of his mouth, but his expression was calm, or blank.

"Yes, Father." Draco's voice even leveled off, flat and conciliatory, "If that's the case, then anyone - no matter who - I can accept as... as Malfoy Manor The future mistress, to continue—" Draco took a deep breath, "Continuing the ancient blood of Malfoy, fulfilling the responsibilities entrusted to me by the Malfoy family, I swear by the glory of the Malfoy family!"

Lucius watched his son stride away with those files in hand without looking back, and stroked his temples with his fingers, his expression gloomy and solemn.

For him, almost 20 years have passed, and that person has always been an unattainable mountain—regardless of his origin, character, or moody temper—he is really an incomparably powerful wizard .Maybe Draco and Harry could be fearless as a newborn calf, but he had really experienced how terrifying and invincible that person was.The real situation may be far worse than their worst plan!

But he is not afraid, he is now fully prepared, including teaching Xiaolong to become a qualified heir who can take on the burden of the Malfoy family at any time, in order to wait for the day when he will finally face it—the pride of a thousand-year-old pure-blood wizard, They have never been afraid of death, never shy away from difficulties.

This time, he faced that person squarely.

A Malfoy who strives for faith and glory all his life;

A Slytherin never bows to an enemy.
