HP's Platinum Temptation

The climate and temperature in August are very suitable, and the last month of Clarence's second-year summer vacation was very happy and fulfilling.

Although the Coronet Spirit wailed for a long time after discovering Clarence's conspiracy.But in the end, he honestly told everything he knew, saying everything he knew, and talking endlessly.

Probably he also knew that it was absolutely impossible for Clarence to trust him without showing enough usefulness.

The time when Lucius was saved in Hogsmeade was the first time Clarence used the rune spell to fight.The runic spells of that time had already shown remarkable results.Those effects that were not the same as traditional spells succeeded in scaring away the attackers at the time.

But according to Coronet, Clarence's use was too direct, rude and wasteful.Thousands of years ago, when Hogwarts was founded, Rowena Ravenclaw was best at rune spells.This is also the biggest reliance on her being able to become a reliable partner for the other three.

Because he was immersed in the study of runes, Clarence almost forgot that he saved Lucius once and even kissed him on the forehead.

Until a letter from Malfoy Manor addressed to Henry Winter was brought to Malfoy Manor by Yvette.

It happened to be the time when the Clarences were having tea in the garden.When Clarence took the letter from Yvette, the whole family knew who wrote it.

"Why did he write to you?" The Duke of Rezlan stared at the letter in Clarence's hand, his face became a little cloudy.

"Is it about the result of the time you talked about cooperation?" Terrence first looked at the Duke of Rezlan with a bad face, then looked at the letter and concentrated on reading the letter, as if intending to ignore the displeasure signal from his father Clarence finally sighed and asked a question to help Clarence.

"No, this is a letter of thanks from him." Clarence said without raising his head. As he read the letter, a smile appeared on his face, in stark contrast to the dark-faced Duke of Rezlan next to him. .

"Thank you letter? What does he want to thank you for?" Terrence asked.Because he hasn't talked much, Clarence didn't mention to his family that he saved Lucius once when he came back.Now asked by Terrence, Clarence did not speak*.So Terrence had no choice but to turn to Yvette, who was standing beside Clarence, and cast a questioning look.

"Uh, it's really nothing." Yvette looked down and found that Clarence hadn't responded, so she opened her mouth and briefly explained what happened on her behalf.

"Have you used magic outside of school?" Duke Rezlan's face seemed to be a little worse: "Don't forget that you have traces on you."

"It's just a few spells, it doesn't matter. It's a wizard town, so you won't be noticed." Clarence finally read the letter, and finally responded to his father himself: "I'll go to Poplar Cottage , Lucius asked me to visit Poplar Cottage tonight."

"What are you going to do?" Duke Rezlan asked.

"Of course it's for cooperation, what else can it be? Dad, don't worry too much." Clarence stood up and said calmly: "Although I said I would pursue him, at my current age, I can't do anything either. Don't worry. If there is anything, it will be in the future. I know exactly what the focus is now." Lambert, who is about to enter the third grade, explained very calmly: "I In fact, I don't want to conflict with you because of this matter. Can we stop worrying about this issue in the future?"

☆☆☆

It stands to reason that what Clarence did, to Lucius, could already be regarded as a life-saving grace.If you really want to thank him, no matter what you think, you shouldn't ask him to meet after almost a whole month's interval.

"What happened after I left that day?" After Clarence changed into Winter's attire, he and Yvette returned to the poplar hut.

Before leaving that day, Clarence kissed Lucius before Mrs. Malfoy opened the door.Whether Lucius lost his temper after that is something he doesn't know.

"No." Yvette shook her head in confusion: "Can something happen?"

"Just did they say anything, did they do anything?" Clarence asked.

"When Mrs. Malfoy and I entered the door, you had already left, right? We saw that Mr. Malfoy had already passed out. Because you asked me to inform Mrs. Malfoy of the antidote with a palliative, so she didn't say anything .After giving Mr. Malfoy the waking potion, when he woke up, Madam asked me why Mr. Malfoy had this situation and why he came to the cabin.” Yvette closed her eyes and recalled A moment: "Let me just say, you received Mr. Malfoy's request for help, went out to find him, and brought him back. I don't know what happened in the middle. Shortly after that, Mr. Malfoy woke up , and they went back."

"Is Mr. Malfoy's expression and face very calm after waking up?" Clarence asked again unwillingly.

"Probably, I didn't look carefully, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. You go prepare some snacks and a bar, and I'll wait for him in the living room." Clarence finally shook his head helplessly and gave up asking.

He deliberately waited for Jenny to arrive before kissing him.After kissing Jenny, he faithfully carried out the order and took him away.So he didn't notice whether Lucius was still conscious at the last moment.But if Lucius really didn't notice that kiss at all due to the effect of the medicine, Clarence felt that he would be very, very regretful.

Some time after dinner, Lucius Apparated to the door of the cabin.

"Welcome, Mr. Malfoy. I am glad to see that you have recovered." Clarence stood up and greeted him.

"I'm sorry to visit at this time. Because of what happened last time, I haven't found out who the attacker is, so I didn't come here until it was dark." Lucius stopped at the door of the living room very politely , explained the reasons for his choice of time.At the formal invitation of Clarence, he walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa opposite Clarence.

"That person is about the same height as you, and a bit fatter than you. Because he is wearing a cloak, a hat and a mask, he can't see his face. But he is slightly hunched, and he holds a wand in his left hand. His voice is relatively low, so his age is estimated at Thirty or more. When I left, I didn’t apparate, but felt like my body turned into a puff of black smoke, and I walked southwest.” Clarence thought for a while, and provided the clues he remembered .

But Lucius showed a look of surprise: "I thought that in that battle, the situation was quite sudden, and you didn't have time to see the opponent's features clearly. If I knew this, I should have asked you earlier. I have to thank you again Your help."

"It's a little effort, I have to ensure your safety, so that we can promote our cooperation." Clarence smiled, and poured red wine for the other party: "It's different from last time, but it's all from our winery. This Can you trust our wine this time?"

"Of course." Lucius took the wine glass, tasted it seriously, and then praised with a smile.

"Actually, I haven't heard from you for so long. I thought you were angry and refused to discuss cooperation with me again." Clarence raised the wine glass to his eyes and shook it gently. Through the glass, he saw To the opposite Lucius.

"Angry? For what?" Lucius showed a puzzled look at Clarence's temptation: "But I really haven't changed my mind about cooperation. Between the Violet Alliance and the Pure Blood Alliance, with the Malfoy family Between them, I did not find any common ground of interests. Perhaps maintaining the status quo would be the best choice. I am here today, just want to say thank you in person. Your strength has won my friendship."

"That's a pity, but I won't give up." Clarence's expression didn't change at all, as if the regret was just lip service and didn't take it seriously: "It seems that next time I have to think of some new bargaining chips. I'm tempting you." He stretched out his wine glass in the direction of Lucius: "But for your friendship, we can have a drink."

"Cheers." Lucius raised his eyebrows and clinked glasses with Clarence.

The atmosphere of the conversation after that revolved around the weather, the school and other insignificant topics.Lucius was in no rush, and neither was Clarence.Time passed like this.

"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first. If you want, I'd be very happy to hear from you." The two chatted for a long time without any pain. reward.Lucius stroked the air beside him, looked at the time, and proposed to leave.

"Don't you like the gift I gave you last time? That water mirror is just as useful as a pocket watch. In terms of style, it also suits your style?" Clarence said while turning Some red wine was poured into the wine glasses of the two of them.

"It's a very good and practical gift, but maybe I haven't gotten used to it yet." Lucius' polite answer was slightly perfunctory.

"Is it because none of the chips I took out touched the place you care about most?" Clarence used a pause and post-subject sentence to re-attract Lucius' attention: "About our cooperation."

"You think too much. It's just that there is no common topic." Lucius raised his eyebrows and replied in a very indifferent tone: "I really should go." After speaking, Lucius pushed the person in front of him. Glass, got up and walked to the door.And Clarence didn't make any further attempts to persuade him to stay.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I forgot to say." Clarence called to Lucius who was about to go out, and asked loudly: "I've heard that the second rule of the Malfoy family's family motto, 'Friends are the only ones, and the rest are all partners of interest.', is that true?"

Lucius turned his head and was taken aback for a moment, but his expression quickly returned to a faint smile.He turned sideways and tilted his head: "Yes, there is such a rule. Although I am a little surprised how you found out, should I congratulate you for the sake of 'friends are the only ones'?"

"Congratulations? No." Clarence shook his head: "I don't think Mr. Malfoy has ever had a friend before. And I would not be willing to be a partner of interest." He stood up suddenly, slowly He walked up to Lucius until his own shadow cast by the lights in the room completely covered the other's figure.

"So, what do you want to say?" Lucius didn't back down, but just raised his head, not to be outdone, and met Clarence's charming eyes at this moment.

"So," Clarence stopped within an arm's length of Lucius, resting his right hand on the door frame.He lowered his head slightly so that his face was closer to Lucius than his body, raised one corner of his mouth, and whispered in a low voice: "If you don't remember, I don't mind saying it again: the position above friends is reserved for you." How about giving me?"
