[Comprehensive] The Wizard and the Fugitive

Just when the Ministry of Magic was planning to further encroach on the power of Slytherin, their new partner, Denis Bartolomé, came out of Malfoy Manor in the dark. The ability of a vampire allowed him to easily disappear in the darkness, staring at The Oros who watched Malfoy's house didn't even realize that anyone had come and gone here.

Everyone was waiting to see the battle between the Malfoy family and the Ministry of Magic. Harry was ready to face Malfoy's counterattack, but everything was calm. Draco Malfoy didn't seem to realize that Slytherin's interests were being restricted, or He did find out, but he didn't care at all.

"The current Mr. Malfoy is different from his father. He is a good man." Some wizards commented like this, and thought it was normal for Draco to do nothing. The new regulations of the Ministry of Magic are beneficial to most ordinary wizards. How could Draco, who was only planning for the British wizarding world, object.

Hermione scoffed at this kind of remarks, but Draco himself didn't do anything, even though she was full of doubts about him, she couldn't say it out, she could only wait aggrievedly for Draco to move, but she didn't wait for the expected action. in the reaction.

Malfoy Manor remained peaceful, with Draco occasionally going out with William, sometimes with their little sister Hope.He looked so happy, as if life was perfect for him now.When a wizard greeted him on the road, he would respond with a smile, and stop for a chat when he was in a good mood. He was even more gentle and gentle than Schiller.

Wizards say that this generation of Malfoy is different from the previous generation, and their partners are completely different.Mrs. Malfoy was so noble and elegant, Mr. Schiller Malfoy is so gentle, always smiling, and if he was born in England, he would be a Hufflepuff.

"Should show them what that guy looks like when he uses black magic." On the afternoon of the rest day, the Potters and the Weasleys went out to eat together, just in time to hear the wizards at the next table talking about the two masters of Malfoy Manor , Ron couldn't help but say this.

"Is he very powerful?" Ginny asked curiously.

"He is the most powerful dark wizard in Europe, don't you remember?" Ron looked at his sister in surprise. He really didn't think there was any pure-blood wizard who didn't know William Schiller's identity.

Ginny shrugged: "I know, but he doesn't look like anything special, not at all like a dark wizard."

"Not every dark wizard has sinister written on his face," said Hermione.For example, the current Draco Malfoy is very good at pretending. If he was in the Muggle world, he would definitely get an Oscar statuette.

Ginny glanced at her, ignored her, and continued to ask, "Have you ever seen Schiller using black magic?"

Thinking of the very unpleasant experience of eating dinner in Norway, Ron gave his sister a warning look: "He's very strong, so don't provoke him."

"Why should I provoke him?" Ginny muttered dissatisfied.But having said that, she still didn't take William seriously. Even a powerful dark wizard couldn't possibly be stronger than the Dark Lord back then.

She turned her head and glanced at Harry, who was always silent, and poked him with her arm: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Harry twitched the corner of his mouth: "I'm just a little worried."

"worry about what?"

"Malfoy."

Part of their plan was to rely on power to cut Slytherin's interests openly, and part of it was to stimulate Draco and let him show his true colors.The most unbearable thing for Malfoy was the threat to the interests of the family. They thought that the introduction of the new regulations would make Draco take some measures to confront them, at least it was impossible to continue to stay at home and raise the children.It turned out that Draco could really remain indifferent, even if most of the Malfoy family's real estate had been forced to sell at a low price, even if their fleet on the Arctic Circle route had been reduced by one-third.

But why had he let the Ministry do this?With his current good reputation, it is not too much to fight for his family's interests once in a while.Even if the new Ministry of Magic rules were imperative, he could at least negotiate some less restrictions.

Draco Malfoy, even if he suffered a crushing defeat back then, he could only hide in the Muggle world and was determined to come back to reorganize the family. Why is he not fighting or grabbing now that everything is finding out in a good direction?

Could everything now be enough for the Malfoy family?No, how could it be possible, when Malfoy knew how to be satisfied.Their family is a poisonous snake, greed is engraved in the bones, and they will never be satisfied.

So what is he planning?

"Maybe he's just at the end of his rope." Ginny said nonchalantly, "Everything we do now is aboveboard, what can he do?" Ginny glanced at Hermione as she said this, remembering what she heard that night Harry said that Hermione once thought about secretly killing Draco.But she just thought about it, and didn't say it out. After all, most of the current plans were planned by Hermione, so there was no need to be unhappy with her.

"I never believed that Malfoy would be subdued by the Ministry of Magic," said Harry.

Hermione sighed: "Wait and see what he does. Don't think about him, today is the rest time, can't we have a little bit of our own life?"

The Gryffindors were enjoying a rare leisure, and Draco Malfoy, who "will never obediently be overwhelmed by the Ministry of Magic", was spending his usual leisure day.The comfortable lounge chairs, the bright sunshine, the fresh air by the lake behind the manor, and the exquisite desserts from her husband, all of which would probably make the Gryffindors who are so busy every day see it.

That's how the opponents they're on guard against respond to them.

William sat under the plane tree by the lake, his slender legs stretched out, letting the boy lie on his pillow.In the quiet afternoon, the chirping of insects and birds in the distance behind the lake and the low and gentle voice of William reading aloud.

He was reading a collection of Byron's poems at this time.Draco has always been interested in the works of these Muggle poets since he came into contact with Muggle literature and art.Life in Malfoy Manor is like this now, reading books, traveling in mountains and rivers, having different desserts every day, and doing some magic research at home when the weather is bad.William would sometimes pass the time by doing antique restoration work that didn't earn a few Galleons, or go around the Muggle world, lest the Muggles forget the name Thanatos, Draco would also go Join in the fun, except that there is no time for Gryffindor.

The Ministry of Magic is in full swing to reduce Slytherin's interests, nervously and excitedly waiting for the counterattack, but the Slytherins themselves are indifferent.

How much more can the Ministry of Magic do?They have reduced the interests of the big families, not only harming the interests of the few Slytherin families today, but also harming the interests of most Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs and even Gryffindor families.Now what they are doing is still within the tolerance of the big family, and ordinary wizards have responded well to the new regulations, so everyone has said nothing for the time being, but if the Ministry of Magic makes progress, I am afraid that Slytherin does not need to speak, and others will object .

Therefore, it is impossible for Potter and the others to go any further. For the Slytherins, even if they abandon some ancestral assets, they can still continue their original life, but the amount of Galleons piled into the treasury every year is less. up.And these parts that were deprived and reduced by the Ministry of Magic, they can completely earn back by relying on their shares in the Merlin Group.According to the strength of the Ministry of Magic's current support for the Merlin Group, they might earn even more.

And as the Slytherins expected, the Ministry of Magic fell silent again after the introduction of the new regulations, and did not continue to target the big families.There are so many eager eyes staring at it, and it is not easy to confiscate all the assets acquired from the major families. Basically, they are transferred to wizards who have a difficult life after the war. The prestige of the Ministry of Magic after its operation is much better than that of Kingsley. Less, it can be considered a gain.

Draco watched the British wizarding world slowly get back on track, finally looking like it was before the war.Diagon Alley became prosperous, Hogsmeade village once again had children's laughter, and Hogwarts was completely renovated.

What a wonderful new era.He stood in Diagon Alley, on the roof of his own property, and looked at the crowd passing by below, evoking a faint smile.Whether such a beautiful life can be maintained depends on the choice of the Ministry of Magic.

After a long period of calm, Harry almost thought that Draco had just surrendered, and the office of the Minister of Magic received a letter from Malfoy Manor without warning.The wording of the letter was very polite, not at all like the handwriting of the arrogant Master Malfoy, but the handwriting on the parchment was indeed Draco's.

"He asked us to meet." Harry handed the letter to Ron after reading it, "I'll see you at the Ministry of Magic."

"What does he want?" Ron looked blankly, read the letter hastily, and passed it to Hermione.

"Negotiation." Hermione frowned, and said after reading every word, "But what is he going to talk about?"

"Gallon?" Ron shrugged and guessed casually, "Is there anything else besides Gallon."

If Malfoy had nothing to do and brought it out to negotiate with the Ministry of Magic, he would be able to squeeze himself out before long, and the Ministry of Magic didn't need to bother with him at all.

Ron thought about it and smiled, and he knew that this kind of thinking was naive. If Malfoy was really so stupid, why would he be a fugitive and come back to stir up trouble.

"What do you think?" Harry asked after a moment of silence.

"Let him come." Ron said, "I want to see what cards he has."

Hermione nodded after thinking about it: "We have to figure out what he wants to do."

The door of the office was suddenly opened, and Ginny, who had been appointed as the secretary of the minister's office, walked in and looked at the three people with a puzzled face: "What are you looking like?"

Hermione handed Malfoy's letter to her, Ginny read it quickly, and immediately said, "He finally reacted, I thought he was going to stay at home for the rest of his life. Let him come?"

Harry looked at the two friends, then at his wife, and finally said, "Well, just make an appointment tomorrow and see what he wants to do."
