Chapter 218 Malfoy Manor (Bug Catch)
"Your mother? Why?!"
Harry knew from Sirius that it was a very serious matter for the offspring of a pure-blood family to be kicked out of the house.To use an unsuitable analogy, it feels like the descendants of the top rich are being removed from the will.But it's actually worse than Muggles not having an inheritance.First of all, the circle of pure blood is very closed, and intermarriage is exchanged between 28 families, and the delisting will be known in this circle; secondly, unlike the Muggle society, according to the law, parents have the obligation to support and be delisted Even if the offspring are adults, pureblood parents can completely throw them out of the house.
If that was true, Draco would be completely helpless now.
But what Harry couldn't understand the most was that the subject of Draco's words just now was "mother"... If it was old Malfoy, Harry could still imagine it.But Draco's mother, in her impression, has always been a woman who would spoil her son unconditionally.She felt that even if Draco blew up Hogwarts, his mother wouldn't say anything bad about him.
"I...don't know." Draco took out his notebook, obviously not wanting to say more, but Harry insisted on asking.
"I guess it has something to do with being friends with you, and sending Dobby away." His dull gray eyes looked over.
"Just because of this?" Harry couldn't understand, it was too serious, and this might be some kind of pure-blood habit she didn't understand, "I can help you persuade Dobby to go back with you. If he doesn't want to, I will do it Tie it back for you."
"Then, we break off our friendship publicly. Have a fight? I'll let you go." Harry suggested sincerely.
"No," Draco shook his head, "I'm not going to be that stupid anymore. I guess there's something else behind this mother's move."
"Then what are you going to do, it's not a problem during Hogwarts, room and board are included here. But..."
"Summer vacation and winter vacation," Draco said softly, "I know..."
"Potter!" Professor Snape appeared next to the two of them, "Go back to your seat! There is no tradition of house mixing in my class!"
Harry raised his head and opened his mouth, wanting to tell him what happened to Malfoy.But the professor's face was too dark, Harry didn't dare to say anything, and returned to Queenie in despair.
Draco didn't have a partner for the entire Potions class.Crabbe and Gore, who had been behind him for four years, even joined the team who pointed at him.Pansy didn't show Draco's contempt, but she didn't go against the Slytherins' trend of isolating Draco, she just kept stabbing Harry with the eye knife.
Even after class, during lunch in the auditorium, Draco was alone, sitting far away at the end of the long table.
Harry stopped him outside the auditorium, pulling him behind an unnoticed pillar.
"Are you in trouble?"
"Trouble? Because no one is following me anymore?" Draco shrugged. "Slytherins are like that, and I'm no use to them anymore. Besides, my father was one of the dozen or so people involved in the Ministry of Magic operation a few months ago." The only Death Eater to avoid prison. I guess Nott and Crabbe are already upset with me, their fathers are in Azkaban now."
Draco tidied up his tie and schoolbag, "Actually, it's okay, it would be nice if they didn't attack me. This is much better than I can imagine."
"Don't you want to go home and ask about the situation?" Harry asked.
"Mother clearly wrote in the last letter—do not reply to the letter, let alone go home." Draco took a deep breath, looked at the sunny grass outside the castle, "Thank you for your concern, Harry, but I suggest you still Don't get too close to me. Some of you Gryffindors might think you're too loving."
"It's not love," Harry said seriously, "If you were kicked out of the house because of me, then it's my responsibility." She waved her hand, "Most of the students in this school are children , I don't care what they think of me at all."
Draco nodded, still with a cold expression on his face, "I see. If I really run into trouble in the academy, I'll ask Headmaster Snape to change me to a dormitory, such as an empty classroom with no one—this is There is precedent."
"All right……"
*****************
At this time, in Wiltshire, England, in an elegant manor that Muggles could not mark on the map, Bellatrix Lestrange was taking a leisurely walk in the manicured garden—— Following the sullen-faced Lucius Malfoy, anyone could see that he was not willing to entertain his wife's sister.
In the large garden between the main entrance of Malfoy Manor and the mansion, there used to be several peacocks-this has almost become the symbol of Malfoy Manor-but they have long since disappeared.
"Lucius, you are such an animal protectionist," Bellatrix waved her hand, and burned another large piece of bushes, satisfying her desire to destroy, which made her feel good, "You put Are all your peacocks shipped to America too?"
"You didn't find what you were looking for in the manor, Bella, you can go." Lucius said coldly.
"I don't believe Sissy's words at all—what about the raid by the Ministry of Magic three years ago?" Bella turned around enchantingly, but this gesture has lost all flavor in the woman who has been completely destroyed by the prison disaster. , "It is impossible for you to be so careless about what the Dark Lord entrusted to you."
"That's the truth," Lucius gritted his teeth, "Where is Sissy, Bella, she's your own sister!"
Bellatrix made a sound between a sneer and a sneer, "Andromeda is my sister too, but I can kill her now without hesitation—and I will enjoy her death."
Lucius didn't speak any more, Bellatrix was indeed mad.
"They all say Sissy is the best married woman among us." Bellatrix plucked a rose with her bare hands.Even though the blood stained the spikes, she didn't even frown, as if this hand didn't belong to her.
At this time, the flowering period of roses has passed.This is a small rose garden that Lucius specially reserved for Narcissa with magic.
"But actually, Lucius, I don't know what they use to judge whether a man is a good match. But, you'll never make a big deal." The rose turned to powder under her wand.She even waved her hand, causing the entire rose garden to wither in the blink of an eye, "Do you know what is the Achilles' heel of you and Sissy? You both value your family too much."
"You have never been loyal to the Dark Lord's cause, to the pure-blood cause," said Bellatrix.
"Sissy actually held back before going to see me," she sneered, "Eliminate Draco? She can really do it."
"That's because she still recognizes you as a sister, Bella, and you failed her." Lucius gritted his teeth.
"As I said just now, this is exactly your shortcoming, Malfoy."
Lucius gripped his cane tightly, he was still not fast enough, only one day late...otherwise the family would be in the United States by now.
The wife kept it from him, a timed spell, and if she herself did not return from Bella, Draco's name would be burned and a letter of eviction would be mailed from the manor.
The wife's plan should be... let Lucius leave her alone, and work hard with Bella under the condition that Draco has been saved...
"Put away your wand, Lucius," Bella said without even turning around, "I understand Sissy's plan - I won't be able to control Draco in the short term, he's the one you two care about the most The question is, do you really want Sissy to die in a cave somewhere, or in a Muggle trash can?"
The author has something to say:
Let me explain: Narcissa has another consideration in driving Ma Tianlong out of the house, that is, in case Lucius is forced to continue to support the Dark Lord in the end, and after the war, Ma Tianlong will at least be able to continue to support him because he is no longer within the scope of the Malfoy family. save yourself. (Because at this time they are quite sure that Lao Fu will lose in the end)
