Hogwarts Asylum

27. Dumbledore has a conspiracy?



In Malfoy Manor, Lucius is facing a difficult choice. On the one hand, Draco has the opportunity to become an unknown future as an alchemist, and on the other hand, he may encounter the blockade of other pure-blood families.

Narcissa, who was sitting next to him, stared at Lucius with an angry expression.

"Have you made your decision? Lucius." Narcissa gritted her teeth and said, "Are you sure you want my precious son to be known as a weakling without courage?"

……

After hearing the news that Orolin had entered Hogwarts, Lucius wrote a letter to his partner, hoping that he could take care of Draco who was about to enter the school.

However, Lucius never expected that he would be in such a situation when he received a letter from Orolin again.

This morning, Malfoy Manor welcomed a raven named Saruman, who was sent by a partner of Lucius Malfoy, the current patriarch of the Malfoy family.

Lucius was enjoying breakfast when he first received Orolin's letter, but after reading the first sentence, he directly put the letter in his arms, got up and went back to the bedroom to change into decent clothes, and prepared to go to Dumbledore. Lido, asking him to move Draco to Slytherin was not a very difficult decision.

Narcissa was a little confused about Lucius's behavior of returning to the bedroom after finishing breakfast, but she thought it was because there was news about some new alchemical items from Orolin, so Lucius had to change clothes quickly to find them. he.

Then she saw the raven that had just left fly in again, this time carrying a letter.

It was Orolin who ordered Saruman to do this, because he was afraid that if Lucius received two letters, he opened the first one directly, and then put away both letters without reading them. Then go straight to Hogwarts, so Orolin asked Saruman to deliver the letter to Lucius and Narcissa in two parts after arriving at Malfoy Manor.

Looking at the words clearly written "Mrs. Narcissa Malfoy" on the envelope, although Narcissa was a little confused as to why Auroran would write to her and Lucius at the same time, she still took it seriously. Opened the letter and read it.

At first, Narcissa only expected to see a few compliments in Eurolin's letter such as "Draco is all the best", "Draco is smart", "Draco is great", and the letter did indeed contain Draco praised her a lot, especially when Narcissa saw that Orolin thought Draco was very talented and was considering taking him on as an alchemy assistant, she laughed very heartily.

But soon, Narcissa's expression suddenly changed.

The news that Draco was sorted into Gryffindor made Narcissa very unbelievable. Although Orolin said that he had helped comfort Draco, she was still very worried about her precious son's current mood and what would happen next. The content made Narcissa look even heavier.

O'Loughlin wrote in the letter: Although Draco was accidentally assigned to Gryffindor, which is not in line with the Malfoy family's consistent philosophy, if Draco is transferred to Slytherin at this time, or he is asked to drop out of school. Durmstrang, Draco is destined to wear a hat called "courageless weakling" until death.So please let Lucius think carefully before taking action. I'm afraid he will arrive at Hogwarts without even reading the letter.

Orolin did not directly write something like "Draco wants to stay in Gryffindor" in the letter, because that would only make the Malfoys suspect that Draco was bewitched or even controlled by someone.

For the members of the Malfoy family, the one who has the most reason to do this is undoubtedly Dumbledore. The crazy old man always bluntly said at school board meetings that the school directors have done too little and that Hogwarts It is difficult to recruit qualified Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, so he will definitely want to draw Lucius's child Draco, who is also a member of the school board, to his camp.

So instead of letting the Malfoys make random suspicions, it would be more convincing to have Draco tell them in a letter, or have them come to Hogwarts to confirm in person.

As a Slytherin graduate, Narcissa did not think that courage represented everything, but she would not want her son to be called a "softhead". This kind of thing was always something that could be done but not said.

Moreover, pure-blood families have never been a monolith. Everyone wants to wipe out each other's family wealth to make their own family further. Therefore, with such a public bad reputation as a "softhead", Draco will definitely be criticized in the future. Bullying to death, how can that be done!

As for the bad reputations of dark wizards and Death Eaters, who cares?

Doesn't it mean that everyone has the same thing?

As long as you don't get caught doing it, it will be fine. If that doesn't work, just say that you are under the control of the Imperius Curse, and you won't be able to find out. At worst, you can just give the Ministry of Magic a sum of galleons afterwards.

After reading the letter carefully, Narcissa already understood why Lucius was in a hurry to leave. She could not let Lucius go to Hogwarts like this.

When Lucius had changed his clothes and accessories, and was holding his cane and was about to say a word to his wife and leave, Narcissa stopped him.

"Lucius, is there something you didn't tell me?" Narcissa quietly hid the letter.

Lucius was stunned when he heard this, and then said nonchalantly: "I was about to tell you that Orolin sent me a letter saying that Draco was sorted into Gryffindor! Damn it, it must be that crazy old man here There is a plot against us, I have to go and check the situation quickly.”

Lucius's words made Narcissa relieved. At least he didn't hide it from her. She pretended to be the matron of the house and said: "Calm down, Lucius, what are you going to do? Go fight Dumbledore." One?"

"No, no, no." When it came to fighting with Dumbledore, Lucius did not dare to think about it even at home. "I am going to notify the members of the school board to convene a meeting. Although the old man Dumbledore is crazy, he must still be there." There is a deeper purpose, it’s us who will suffer this time, if we don’t solve it, it will be them next time!”

"Convene a meeting?" Narcissa sneered. "Have an argument with Nott for a long time about the cost of rebuilding their ancestral home? Or work with Travers to find a way to get the Ministry of Magic to collect less taxes? Or discuss with Avery what to do. Let ordinary wizards spend money to buy jewelry?

Huh, what else can they do?

If Dumbledore wanted to do something for these guys who were blinded by power and galleons, why wait until now?The Greengrass children entered school earlier than Draco! "

Narcissa's words hit Lucius like a machine gun, making him a little confused. He felt very strange. His wife never interfered in family affairs, especially negotiations between families. Why did she suddenly suddenly do so today? Are you so concerned?

And the most important thing now is, isn't it why Draco was sorted into Gryffindor?Why didn't Narcissa, who always doted on her son, say a word about Draco?

However, Lucius was indeed powerless to refute his wife's words. He said helplessly: "But...even if it wasn't Dumbledore's conspiracy, a school board meeting would still have to be held. Otherwise, how could Draco return to the embrace of Slytherin? It's impossible for us alone to make Dumbledore change his mind."
