[Comprehensive] The Wizard and the Fugitive

No matter how the wizards talked about the two banquets that day in private, public opinion organizations like the Daily Prophet still praised Malfoy's wedding and Potter's inauguration banquet in a regular manner.Neither the enduring old-school family of the British wizarding world nor the new Minister of Magic are easy to offend.

And after that, those wizards who expected Malfoy to decline again after a short period of time also had to give up their illusions.Whether they were willing to face it or not, even if there was only one person left in the Malfoy family, they were as high as ever.I don't know what kind of magical power this family has. For hundreds of years, they have always been able to save themselves from various adversities. Their luck is so good that people have no energy to envy.

The two old rivals of Gryffindor and Slytherin, one married and the other took office, ushered in a quiet time in the British wizarding world.Draco left everything to Denis and Blaise as before, took his new husband out for honeymoon in a chic way, and stayed in the manor to live a "retirement" life when he came back. It seems that he has turned back to the young master who knows nothing about the world in Hogwarts.

As for Harry, as the Minister of Magic, he certainly can't be as laid-back as Draco, but he didn't make any big moves after taking office, as if he completely forgot that he had gone to Malfoy Manor to make a fuss, maintaining British magic. calm on the surface.

Of course, this calm is only temporary.

Another sunny day, Draco was sitting on the balcony of his manor, drinking the black tea prepared by William, flipping through the letter from Blaise one by one.

As if knowing that he was too lazy to read the newspaper, this long letter explained in detail a number of new regulations issued by the Ministry of Magic, from increasing taxes on the rich to restricting real estate purchases, from stipulating the size of each family's fleet on the Arctic Circle route to restarting The inventory of black magic items, one by one, seems to be aimed at Slytherin.Of course, the Ministry of Magic will not say who this is aimed at. They say it is to promote the economic development of the British magic community.

"Damn economic development." Draco read the last page, put the letter aside, picked up the half-eaten cake again, and twitched the corner of his mouth ironically: "It's like the economy of the British magic world as if it were restored by them."

However, no matter how sarcasm he spoke, Draco could not stand up against these new regulations.He is different from his father. Everyone knows that Lucius puts interests first, is cold-blooded and cunning. Of course, he will try his best to stop him from encountering such laws and regulations that are harmful to the interests of the family.But as for him, he is now a good man who turned his back on the prodigal son after going through hardships, and contributed money and efforts to the British wizards. Although this kind of regulation hurts his own interests, but is very friendly to most ordinary wizards, how could he object to it.

"Potter has really changed a lot. He wouldn't cross rivers and tear down bridges like this before. He just finished using my Galleon and then sold me." Draco sighed and said very disappointedly, eating cake But the speed didn't slow down at all, and there was no worry on his face.

"It's more of Granger's way," William said.

Draco shrugged: "Obviously. It's rare that she is willing to stand with those people. For the Ministry of Magic, she really did her best."

"Does she have any other options?" William shook his head with a smile.Hermione Granger was born in Gryffindor and is a bitch wizard, which means that she cannot make friends with Slytherin, and her ambition does not allow her to be with those neutral Hufflepuffs or Laura. Winclaw stood together.

It doesn't matter who proposed these regulations. Draco and William just talked casually and passed. However, unexpectedly, that night, the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic, who were in charge of checking the black magic items, came to the door Visited Malfoy Manor.

At that time, Draco and William were dining, and there were only the two of them at the long dining table, plus a slightly older person and Hope, but it was full of all kinds of meals, and ten people couldn't finish it.

None of them planned to get up to greet the uninvited Oro, nor to keep them out, so when Ron led the people in, what he saw was the extravagant dinner of the Malfoy family.Draco gracefully put down the knife and fork, wiped the clean corners of his mouth with a napkin, sat there and looked at him with a smile: "Good evening, Weasley."

Ron took a deep breath, only feeling that his legs were very tired from running all afternoon, and his stomach was extremely hungry.But the more this was the case, the things on the dining table at Malfoy's house looked more disgusting, which made his already irritable mood even worse.

"We're here to..."

"Search for dark magic items, I know." Draco spread his hands, leaned back in his chair relaxedly, and looked up at Ron who stood opposite him, but with an arrogant attitude as if he was looking down on others.This is the real Malfoy. Every time he pretends to be in public, he wants to donate all his family property, which is simply an illusion.

Ron frowned and stared at him: "Very well, then I won't talk nonsense."

Draco smiled: "Please, but this is the dinner time of Malfoy's family, so please excuse us for not accompanying us."

"Oh." Ron sneered, ignored Draco's annoying face, and led his men into the huge manor.As soon as the new rules came out, they made a surprise attack at night, just to catch Draco off guard.He can still sit still, who knows if he is holding on.

No matter how the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic visited the entire Malfoy Manor, Draco and William finished their dinner leisurely, sent little Hope back to the children's room, and then slowly returned to the living room to wait for the uninvited guests , I can't see the slightest tension at all.When Ron came out with a bunch of black magic items, seeing their indifferent looks, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but evoke a nasty smile.

"Malfoy, you're too careless." He said as he ordered his men to put the things they found in front of Draco: "These are all yours?"

Draco looked at him with raised eyebrows, but said nothing.

Ron smiled: "According to the new regulations, I have to confiscate them all, and you have to pay a fine for them, and a fine of 10 gold Galleons for hiding a black magic item. Do you want to figure out how much it is now? ?”

Draco still didn't speak, but William laughed: "Mr. Weasley, I'm afraid this is a misunderstanding. I brought everything you found."

Ron frowned at him, and William continued with a smile, "I'm Norwegian."

"What's the matter?" Ron said, "There is no rule in England that foreigners don't have to abide by the law."

"Of course. But I am a nobleman in Norway." William said with a gentle face, as if he was just explaining to him kindly: "Norwegian nobles have some privileges, and the British diplomatic law stipulates that foreign nobles in England It is time to preserve the privileges of the nobility."

Ron's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he didn't know how to end this situation.Draco looked at him with a smile, and kindly suggested: "It's all here, you can't just leave without doing anything, why don't you stay for a meal? There's still a lot of dinner left."

Leftovers from the Malfoys?Ron glared at Draco fiercely, unwilling to continue playing tricks with him at all, and led the people away directly.He wanted to confiscate the Malfoy family's belongings regardless, but they moved out of the diplomatic law, who knows if his momentary impulsiveness will cause international troubles.

"Damn Schiller!" Ron muttered viciously.This was their first attack against Slytherin after being silent for so long, and they failed so easily.Fortunately, he thought Malfoy was unprepared just now!

Harry and Hermione, who were waiting for the results at the Ministry of Magic, were very surprised to see him come back with an angry face. No one thought that today's completely secret raid would be leaked to Draco.However, after hearing Ron's explanation, they all fell silent.

"We didn't think well enough," said Harry.But he also knew that even Hermione, who was the most familiar with the law among them, would not be familiar with the privileges of nobles in other countries.

"What's not thoughtful! He was obviously deceived by Schiller!" Hermione said coldly, "Did that Schiller say what kind of aristocratic privileges related to dark magic items Norway gave him?"

"Uh...no." Ron scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "But I remember when I was in Norway, I did see that the people in the Schiller family were carrying black magic items openly."

"That's because Norway doesn't ban black magic." Hermione said, "Since it wasn't banned in the first place, why does it need aristocratic privileges? If Schiller was in Norway, of course he could use black magic as he likes, but in England , he has no privileges."

Ron froze for a moment, then frowned deeply, with raging anger in his eyes, he turned around and was about to go out.Hermione grabbed him: "What are you doing!"

"To Malfoy Manor."

Hermione pulled him back and closed the office door: "Forget it, go now, there is nothing found in Malfoy Manor, don't you understand? This is Malfoy playing tricks on us."

"He has no idea what's planned for today," Harry said.

"I think he's been waiting for us to come since the new rules came out." Hermione sighed, regretting that she didn't go with her. If she was here, she wouldn't be as easily bluffed as Ron live.But she could only think about this in her heart, she didn't want to embarrass Ron more.

The office meeting was quiet for a while, Harry patted Ron on the shoulder: "It's okay, Malfoy is too cunning. We still have a chance."

The search for black magic items is just the beginning. The real means of targeting Slytherin is economic. The many restrictions in the new regulations have no impact on ordinary wizards at all. They don't need to think about how many ships they have in their lives How many such things as boats and their own real estate are, these are the troubles of the big family.And now in the British magic world, the only big families that need to consider the issue of the fleet are Malfoy, Zabini and Flint.

While cracking down on Slytherin, the Ministry of Magic did not forget to support the Merlin Group, a rookie who started from the Muggle world.Everyone knew that Deni, the boss of Merrill Lynch, had a good relationship with Draco, but no one had ever seen any private contact between them outside of social situations.Therefore, the Ministry of Magic did not think that Denis would side with Malfoy when there were competing interests.

Facts have proved that after the Merlin Group obtained the opportunity to further expand, it did not have any in-depth communication with Malfoy. Malfoy also seemed to have not yet figured out how to face the double-sided attack, and has been doing nothing.The Ministry of Magic waited and watched for a while, and began to use the Merlin Group to attack Slytherin with confidence, thinking that they had finally found the right way to attack Malfoy.
