Chapter 148

Draco's injuries were not serious, he was discharged the next day, and at Solim's insistence, Draco agreed not to let Madam Pomfrey give him white fresh, and the scar on his arm was a lesson: always warn Draco not to do stupid things again.

Draco was discharged from the hospital, and Lucius also came to Hogwarts at noon that day, which was also the result of Draco's communication with his family, otherwise Lucius would have come to the school yesterday to pick up Draco and send him to St. Mungo. Lucius was extremely angry when he received the news, Malfoy was the only seedling of Draco, if something really happened, the Malfoy family would have no future. However, after receiving Draco's letter, Lucius calmed down, and after carefully reading the contents of the letter, Lucius felt that Draco was truly lucky to have a friend like Selwyn.

What Draco is like, Lucius, of course, knows best. But as Malfoy's only seedling, he has naturally been spoiled since he was a child, especially Narcissa, who is simply a model of a loving mother and many defeated children, under the influence of various factors, Draco has become arrogant and arrogant, but Lucius has some things that he can't say to his son clearly, especially some of the choices the family is currently facing, Draco is still too young to know these things, these heavy things are not something that a teenager can carry, but under the influence of Solim, Draco is really thinking about the future of the Malfoy family, which makes Lucius especially pleased。

Is it easy for Lucius, as the head of the Malfoy family, to clean up Hagrid? Easy, even if Dumbledore supports Hagrid, but as long as Lucius is really ready to tear his face with Dumbledore, Hagrid will definitely be unlucky, not to mention anything else, Hagrid's position as a professor of magical biology is absolutely unsafe, and due to the teaching accident, a large amount of compensation is indispensable, once Hagrid's bloodline problem is reported, the influence is absolutely huge, no parent will allow a half-blood giant to teach his children, if Lucius is willing to pay the price, he can even kick Hagrid out of Hogwarts, as long as the other school directors on the board are willing to align with him on this issue。

It's one thing to be able to do it, it's another thing to want to do it. If he really didn't show any affection on this issue, it would mean tearing up his face with Dumbledore, which was not the result Lucius wanted. Especially the current form is not optimistic for the Malfoy family, the person who once brought hope to the Malfoy family and then brought despair is about to return, since Lucius has made up his mind to draw a line, then he has to plan for the future. It is indeed a way to show favor to Dumbledore through this incident, but what about the face of the Malfoy family? The heir was injured because of a half-blood giant, but there was no revenge, what would other families think of him Lucius, what would they think of the Malfoy family?

The weaker the family, the more concerned they are about the so-called family honor and family dignity, and they must make a statement to tell others that "we are still strong", even if it seems to others to be more of a vent of lust and hysteria. If this is true of the once mighty Peverell, and if this is true of Black, who claims to be the oldest and purest, will Malfoy also be like this?

Lucius actually doesn't care too much about the so-called family face, after all, look around and look at the other families: Lestrange, Black, Greengrass, Bird, how many of the so-called Holy Twenty-Eight families can still save face? After experiencing the devastation of Voldemort, the power of pure-blood wizards is not as good as before, and Malfoy's current situation has been relatively good. And compared to the so-called family face, Lucius is more concerned about how to make the family continue. He knew very well that when that person came back, many people would be liquidated, and he was one of them. In order to leave a glimmer of hope for the Malfoy family, let alone abandon the family's face, he did not hesitate to kiss Dumbledore's robe - after all, this kind of behavior was not less done by pure-blood wizards in the past, but at that time it was only Voldemort.

Lucius would do his best to keep the family alive, and he wanted to keep the Malfoy family alive, in other words, to keep Draco alive. In the wizarding world, a family like Malfoy can live a very comfortable life and a very nourishing life, but only if no big wizard comes to trouble you. Unfortunately, it is likely that in a few years there will be such a great wizard who will come to them in trouble, not only Malfoy, but all pure-blood families who have shirked their responsibilities and obligations as a Death Eater. Draco was Malfoy's future, and it was all too clear how cruel and evil that man could be, and he couldn't imagine what would happen to Draco.

In fact, Lucius had the idea of marrying Selwyn, but he was quickly denied by himself - it was too unrealistic. Then you can only settle for the next best thing, choose a thick thigh, and then hold on to it. The Malfoy family can only reach the ordinary wizarding world now, and what thigh in the British wizarding world can be thicker than Dumbledore?

In fact, Lucius himself knew very well that the Malfoy family actually had no choice. In action he had betrayed Voldemort, and the man's attitude towards traitors was clear to everyone, even if they weren't Death Eaters. Even if he asked for forgiveness, the ending would still be the same after using Malfoy, and Lucius had seen so many examples of this in the past that he didn't have to think about it, and those bloody examples appeared in his mind by himself.

If you go back, you will die, and if you don't go back, you will die, and you will still die when there is no one to protect you. Left and right are death, but the difference between morning and night, the original Lucius originally planned to make a mistake first, and seek survival for the family halfway, but the relationship between Solim and Draco made Lucius see another way to solve the family crisis.

Solim is an illegitimate child, this Lucius knows, but Solim is an illegitimate child who can use the family name, and Lucius, who is also a pure-blood family, understands the meaning of this. If Solim had a voice in the Selwyns, it wasn't impossible to help a friend of his own, or even save Draco's life at a critical moment—as long as the elders of the Selwyns were willing to do so. But only if Solim has to have a certain place in the hearts of those elders.

That's why Lucius was so concerned about Solim's affairs. Otherwise, how could he, a middle-aged man who is nearly forty years old, put on a posture of reciprocal communication with a child who is only a teenager?

Now it seems that the effort is rewarded, the child of the Selwyn family is very concerned about Draco's affairs, Draco's spell-casting ability is also the best even among the children of the pure-blood family, of course, this is inseparable from Solim's help, strong strength is the foundation of the wizard's life, this Lucius understands, but Lucius values more than strength, but the ability to deal with things.

This is also related to Lucius's own past experience, Lucius is not the top in the Death Eaters, and even lower in the Death Eaters, but why does Voldemort still value him very much?

Voldemort has never lacked his subordinates, nor has he lacked subordinates who can fight, but there are very few people like Lucius who can coordinate the overall situation and judge the situation among the Death Eaters, and the vast majority of Death Eaters abuse Muggles are good hands, and they are good hands at killing people and setting fires, but when it comes to how to cooperate with each other and coordinate the relationship between people in specific actions, and accurately judge the current situation when the action encounters setbacks, these are Lucius's strengths.

Death Eaters mostly enjoyed dealing with the dark arts, while Lucius preferred to deal with people. Lucius's talent for magic may not be outstanding, but his talent for dealing with people and things is beyond the reach of most wizards, but alas, he doesn't have the time and energy, and the right time to teach his son.

And what Solim said to Draco during this incident made Lucius really make up his mind.
