Chapter 68

Solim and Sylna vacated their room at the Leaky Cauldron, where they now live in Malfoy Manor. When Lucius learned that the two brothers and sisters of the Selwyn family actually lived in a place like the Leaky Cauldron Bar, he immediately said: We have nothing else in Malfoy Manor, but there are many rooms, and you can change rooms every day to sleep, and you will not bring the same one for a month. Solim and Sylna just stayed in Malfoy Manor, and it was easy for them to pack up a box anyway.

Now that he lived in Malfoy Manor, Draco's days were starting to be difficult. After talking to Solim, Lucius had another in-depth conversation with Draco. This time, Lucius can be said to have not concealed it, telling his son all about the current situation of the Malfoy family.

Draco didn't have any more thoughts on playing around now. He now knows that if he wants to get rid of the Dark Lord's grasp of the Malfoy family, the best way is to become a great wizard himself, and then re-become the contract family of the Presbyterian Church under the operation of his father, so that it is impossible for the Dark Lord to move the Malfoy family, and at that time the Malfoy family will be truly safe, and at the same time, it will also fulfill the expectations of the ancestors, and Malfoy will stand at the top of the wizarding world again.

But if you want to become a great wizard, you can't just think about it. Draco's vacation was even busier than when he was in school, and he was now with Sylna every morning, receiving theoretical instruction from Solim. Solim, who had studied in Sculler for a few years, was more than enough to teach the two of them. The afternoon was the part that Draco looked forward to and resisted: practice. Solim would sometimes teach him new spells, but after learning them, Solim would test what he had learned, and the best way to do that was to test it in actual combat, for which Draco was not less beaten. But since the price is paid, it will naturally be rewarded. Draco was now using spells, and while it was a mere example of a combat-ready adult wizard, it was rare for a boy who had just turned twelve.

However, during this time, it was not very quiet in Malfoy Manor.

The people from the Ministry of Magic came in and out several times, and every time the people from the Ministry of Magic came, Lucius's face became ugly. Obviously, Voldemort's appearance at Hogwarts was not hidden from the Ministry of Magic - or the Aurors, who had clearly come here to find Voldemort. The Aurors have never let up their pursuit of Voldemort for eleven years, and not everyone is as scoffing at the news that Voldemort is still alive like the current Minister of Magic.

The Aurors are just that, Lucius can still bear it, after all, from a certain point of view, Malfoy and the Aurors are now in the same trench. But when Lucius learns that Arthur Weasley had come to Malfoy Manor to carry out the so-called raid of dark magic items, no one would doubt that if Weasley were in front of him right now, he would definitely throw a white glove into Weasley's face.

Lucius has been busy during this time, in fact, Lucius has been quite busy. Don't look at the people who don't have any serious jobs, but there are many industries, the dragon farm has shares, Gringotts has shares, the potion shop has shares, the Delphant Garment store has shares, the Prophet Daily has shares, as long as there are things that involve these shareholders, Malfoy has to deal with them.

Therefore, the number of successful wizard families is absolutely indispensable, why can a family like Selwyn have several great wizards? is because they have a clear division of labor, they also have industries, and the people who take care of these industries are handled by special people in the family, and Selwyn's descendants can explore the mysteries of magic with peace of mind, without being distracted by these worldly things.

But there are only two people in the Malfoy family, and one of them is a minor. Lucius was not so much a wizard as a businessman and politician in the guise of a wizard. There is no way to do this, if the influence of the Malfoy family in the wizarding world cannot be guaranteed, then it is an empty word to want to recreate the glory of Malfoy. Lucius sacrificed himself in order to give Draco a good external and internal environment, and if Draco could fight, then the Malfoys could still be saved.

In mid-June, Solim received a letter. The Headmaster of Hogwarts finally became available, and he invited Solim to 19 Spider's Tail Lane.

Spider's Tail Alley is a suburban street in Cockworth, and the neighborhood is very dirty. There is a large chimney in the town, indicating that there is at least one factory, and the street is full of workers, as is the home of Solim's dean, Professor Snape.

When Solim arrived at his destination, he saw a filthy river, overgrown with weeds and rubbish. The abandoned mill left behind a huge towering chimney that looks very ominous. There was a dead silence and no sign of life except for the murmur of the black river, except for a skinny fox creeping down the embankment, hopefully sniffing a few leftover fish and chips wrappers in the grass.

"Alas, it's really miserable. Solim looked at the mess nearby and shook his head.

As Snape was a Potions Master, he must have no shortage of Garons. In fact, no Potions Master will be short of money. If a potions master is willing to let go of his reserve and is willing to let go of the bottom line of being a man, then he can become very rich. Cherished potions, potions that save people, or poisons used to harm people, these are not big problems for them.

But it's such a Potions master who lives in this kind of ...... Place. Snape could have had a better place to live, but he didn't, because this is where he met Lily.

For those who are not familiar with this place, Spider Tail Alley is a very easy place to get lost, such houses all look the same, they are all red brick houses, the only difference is the house number. Solim could only count, row by row, but fortunately, the number 19 was not very large, and Solim didn't have to go deeper into this depressing place.

A mottled wooden door, the paint on it was almost gone, and although it was extremely inconsistent with Snape's identity as a Potions Master, this was indeed his home.

Solim dropped his hand that was about to knock on the door—because the door was already open.

"Come on in. Dumbledore greeted Solim happily as if it were his home.

Entering the house, Solim began to look around. The only feeling that Solim felt in the small space was oppressive, and the furnishings and layout of the room added to it.

Solim looked at Snape, who was sitting on the couch, and then at Dumbledore, who had just closed the door.

"So...... Can we begin?" asked Solim.

"Then what are you waiting for!" Snape slammed to his feet, "I'm locked in the basement, the ring is with the Headmaster, let's go down quickly, don't bother." "

Looking at Snape, who was obviously different and became a little talkative, Solim looked at Dumbledore who was smiling on the side.

"Ah, Severus obviously can't hold it anymore, all right, let's go together. With that, Dumbledore and Solim followed Snape side by side towards the basement.

"I've heard," Dumbledore said as he looked at Solim, "that you and your sister have been living in Malfoy Manor lately?"

"Ah, yes, Headmaster, and...... I think you'll be happy to know that I've brought this news. Solim smiled at Dumbledore.

"Oh, I'm interested, what do you know from Malfoy. Dumbledore said with interest.

"How about a ring-like thing, headmaster, would you be interested in that?"

Dumbledore's face became serious: "Another Horcrux, in Malfoy Manor?"

"That's right, Uncle Lucius offered to give him to me, of course, I think it's better for us to discuss this thing after we've dealt with Professor Snape's affairs first. "

"You've surprised me once again, Solim. "Dumbledore was much taller than Solim, and he couldn't see Dumbledore's current look.

"This is the second one...... Dumbledore lamented, "who knows how many more he made and where he hid them." "

"I think you can look into this, headmaster. Solim said heartlessly, "After all, you can say that you know him best." "

Except, of course, for me.
