[Comprehensive] The Wizard and the Fugitive

Although the manor is still sealed off, the inside is quite different.Since the last time he left, Draco found a new house-elf, the dilapidation was a thing of the past, and Malfoy Manor had returned to its former splendor and sophistication.

If the Ministry of Magic sees what it looks like here, it will probably be angry that all their long-term efforts have been in vain. Slytherin is still the same Slytherin.

They went all the way to the depths of the manor and reached the door of the underground vault of the Malfoy family.Originally, only pureblood Slytherin wizards with the blood of the Malfoy family were allowed to enter here, but William, a half-wizard and half-vampire who was neither Malfoy nor Slytherin, easily passed through with his powerful magic power. Over the vault's defenses, he turned around and smiled at Draco.

"How did you do it?" Draco's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that the magic circle that he had used for hundreds of years would be so useless.

"This is not some profound magic." William took the boy's hand, not allowing him to open the vault door with his own blood, and led him directly across the magic circle, and swaggered into it.

Draco grabbed William's arm and forced him to turn around, looking seriously into his eyes: "Impossible! The Malfoy family has used this circle for hundreds of years."

William smiled: "Then I think the reason for using it is definitely not how powerful it is."

"Malfoy only uses the best." Draco raised his chin and said proudly, completely disagreeing with William's explanation.

Of course he knew that William was quite researched in magic circles. Looking at the silver and green snake pendant on his neck, he knew that very few wizards could draw such a fine magic circle.But this is not a reason for William to belittle Malfoy's ancestors casually. Could it be that Malfoy was so stupid hundreds of years ago to use an ordinary defensive circle on the family's most important treasury?

The boy's furious reaction made William realize that he had stepped on Malfoy's minefield.This time it was much more serious than small things like potions, Draco's stubborn and serious expression seemed like he could only break up the relationship if he didn't make it clear.

William raised his hands in surrender, but when Draco was about to get proud again, he curled up his mouth and said slowly, "I'm just telling the truth."

He laughed, hugged the boy who was ready to make a long speech, and made sure he changed his "misunderstanding", trapped him between himself and the wall, bowed his head and kissed his forehead lightly.

The boy hid his hand behind his back, avoiding his pursuit not very seriously, and finally was easily pulled over without any suspense, and held in the palm of his hand.

William pulled Draco all the way forward, going deeper and deeper underground.The torches on both sides burned themselves as they approached, illuminating the road for thousands of years.Under the dim light of the fire, the originally gloomy and narrow underground corridor was a bit more eerie than when it was purely hidden in darkness.

"This is really not a high-level magic circle, because Malfoy Manor no longer needs to make any big moves here." William explained as he walked: "The magic circle outside the manor is enough to resist any malicious intentions. Because of it, the Ministry of Magic There is nothing we can do about Malfoy Manor, we can only watch it be sealed off. With the protection from the outside, there is no need to spend a lot of effort and money here."

They walked slowly through the corridor hand in hand, strolling in the darkness tens of meters underground.Draco silently listened to William's explanation of the various ancient magics in the manor, and then realized that he had lived here for more than ten years, but his understanding of the manor was not as good as that of William, who came for the second time.

He pulled out the memory of Schiller Manor in Norway from the depths of his mind, and tried hard to think for a long time, but he didn't think of any impressive magic there.

Schiller Manor seems to be full of small objects from the wizarding world, but the whole castle looks ordinary like a Muggle building.If there is anything special, it is probably very cold and ruthless.

William turned his head to look at Draco who was frowning in thought, and squeezed his fingers with a smile: "Don't think about comparing it with Schiller's house, there is no advanced magic circle there."

Draco raised an eyebrow unexpectedly: "Are you kidding?"

"The Schiller family never liked to rely on their predecessors." William said lightly: "If the Patriarch is strong enough, it doesn't matter whether he has a profound magic circle or not."

"What if the Patriarch's magic power is not enough to deter?"

William pulled the corner of his mouth: "As far as I know, there is no such situation in Schiller's history."

In terms of magic power, Allen is probably one of the few weak people in Schiller's history, but as we all know, this weak person silently swallowed up the Petrovic family less than a year after he took the position of power.

The deepest part of the vault is the property that the Malfoy family has accumulated for hundreds of years and has never been exposed to the public. Because of the war, it also includes the Galleon that was transferred here from Gringotts when Draco fled in a hurry.

There are only two simple rows of Roman columns in the huge hall, and the dazzling golden colors are randomly piled on the ground. Compared with the predicament of the entire British magic world today, everything here is shocking.

"According to Gringotts' records, the total property of the Malfoy family should be around one million." Draco said, picking up a pink diamond the size of a pigeon egg at random, tossing it twice in his hand, and then Throwing it back on the pile of Galleons boredly, let it slowly roll down, a piece of Galleons was brought down with a clatter, and hit the foot of the medieval sculpture with a long history.

"I plan to give half of it to 'atonement'." Draco said casually: "Although the law has proved that I am innocent, in order to appease the emotions of wizards in the British magic world, I am very willing to do something for them What." He said in a high-sounding manner, but his tone could tell that he didn't care about what he said at all.

These wizards in the British magic world once wanted him to disappear completely, and now they still look at him suspiciously, facing Slytherin's return with indifference, why does he have any reason to think about those people?

"You want to fight Deni?" William asked.

Draco nodded: "It's not a ring, but Slytherin and the Merlin Group are both contributing to the magic world. I don't know how the Ministry of Magic will explain their incompetence."

"They might stand up for public opinion," William said following his train of thought, "but with Miss Granger around, I don't think your plan will go smoothly."

"So, I have to let Granger have no time to worry about it first." Draco said, "Fortunately, there is someone in the Ministry of Magic that I can use a little bit."
