Chapter 562 The Anxious Malfoy Family
Yes! Yes, that's right—Miss Lily Evans, er... that's what your mother looked like when she was young...
No, it's Lily Potter.
Harry seemed to disagree with what Slughorn called his mother.
Oh, then it was Lily Potter, the fat old man didn't bother with the meaning of his surname, he quickly brushed aside this small contradiction, Want to hear about the past when your mother was a student? ?”
To be honest, Harry really wanted to hear it very much, but he knew it must not be now. And instead of hearing it from Slughorn, he thought it would be better to ask Sirius and Lupine another day!
Um, I think we can pick another time— Harry shook his head hastily and said, You know, breakfast is probably ready in the auditorium.
Ha! I'm hungry after you say that! Slughorn raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, In that case, dear Mr. Potter, why don't you just tell me the purpose of your visit today? Or... maybe we can catch up on the way to the auditorium?
Harry ran over this early in the morning, apparently with a purpose. Otherwise, judging from the attitude he showed a few times ago, it would be impossible for him to come here on his own initiative.
Harry looked awkward under Slughorn's gaze. The words that want to apply for a reduction in homework are spinning in the throat, but they just can't say it.
After a while, he finally spoke.
Professor Slughorn, here's the thing—
...
Speaking of which, during this period of time, both Harry and the others and Maca had a relatively easy life, so much so that they both had time to do some mundane things.
But some people are slack while others are in urgency. Compared with them, Master Draco's every day still seems to have not escaped from last year's cold winter.
Draco's mother disappeared, and no one has heard from her until now, and no one knows where she went. Even though Lucius had mobilized all the connections he could, he still hadn't found his wife.
Because he really didn't want to study in school, Draco finally persuaded his father to temporarily suspend school.
After experiencing the incident of Voldemort's resurgence, the Malfoy family was not only seriously injured, but also lost most of the numerous family relationships in the past. Among them, at least half of the friendly families were on the verge of decline following Voldemort's failure again. You know, most of the Death Eaters were from the pure blood wizard family.
Now Lucius found to his astonishment that he didn't even have enough manpower to find his own wife.
In order to find clues as soon as possible, Draco volunteered to go home and participate in the emergency search and rescue queue. Lucius couldn't help feeling secretly that his son had really grown up...but in the most poignant way.
Early this morning, although Lucius, who was the dispatcher, had been in the mansion all the time, he was actually the most tired one. Don't look at him sitting on the chair all the time, but both physically and mentally, he is exhausted to the limit.
When was the last time you slept? the day before yesterday? Or earlier?
Lucius flipped through the text messages sent back by several search teams, as well as the suspicious information requested from various sources. Among the seemingly many notes and sticky notes, there may not even be a single one that is actually useful. But he couldn't give up. He had to search, compare, and analyze constantly, and then arrange a search and rescue team to investigate and inquire.
He felt his head swell and throbbing, as if it would explode at any moment.
Where's Draco?
As if he just remembered it suddenly, he suddenly raised his head and looked out the window. It was already dawn, but the son who set out with the team last night has not returned yet.
This doesn't work, I don't need to rest, but my precious son has to sleep! Although he reluctantly agreed to let Draco come home and join the search and rescue,
But that doesn't mean they don't care, after all, children are the future of their Malfoy family.
Suddenly, there was a flapping sound of wings coming in from the front living room, and soon, an owl grabbed an envelope and walked through the living room and corridor, finding exactly where he was.
Is it another new message? Maybe it was passed down by his son? Could it be that the message I got last night was a correct clue?
Lucius hurriedly reached out to grab the letter, but unexpectedly his head became dizzy, and he almost fell directly on the messy desktop.
Fortunately, maybe it was just his body reminding him that he needed to rest, at least not to the limit.
He took the envelope handed over by the owl with its claws in one hand, and habitually went to the drawer under him to dig out the potion bottle with the other hand.
Oh no……
There seemed to be only empty bottles left in the drawer.
Lucius put the bottle aside casually, no longer thinking about it, but planned to tear the envelope without saying a word. However, just as he was about to tear it, a mark on the envelope immediately came into his sight.
Hogwarts? He paused, rubbed his temples vigorously to relieve the pain, so that he could concentrate his thoughts, Is it about Draco?
After he calmed down for a while, he opened the envelope and took out a folded letter paper from inside. But when he unfolded it and took a look, he suddenly realized that he had guessed wrong.
The letter wasn't about his son, and it wasn't even from Hogwarts. He was sure that most of this letter came from the mysterious wizard organization founded by Dumbledore.
In the letter, however, a simple message was conveyed to him:
Narcisha appeared in Berlin, Germany.
If you want to say what the Order of the Phoenix is best at, some people might say that it is the ability to deal with dark wizards. Although this is true, they are actually better at finding things and people. In the Order of the Phoenix, there are all kinds of members, their origins are all different, and their roles in the magic world are even more varied.
With such components, the levels that the Order of the Phoenix can involve are tightly distributed to every corner of the magic world. With Maca and Kingsley supporting major events, and Mundungus and his ilk for minor events, there are almost no routes to miss.
Just like the trace of Lucius' wife Narcissa Malfoy this time, some friends of Mundungus inadvertently heard about it from a German guy when they were discussing a business about recycling old broomsticks .
Of course, Mundungus didn't care at first, but when he was chatting casually, he broke his mouth and told Sirius the news.
Many people in the Malfoy family know about it, and it is impossible for them to send more people to search for it quietly. The incident of Narcissa's disappearance has long been rumored among various families.
But when Sirius heard the news from Mundungus, his expression became a little stiff.
After all, Narcissa Malfoy was also a member of the Black family before she married, and she was also his cousin like Bellatrix in terms of seniority. On weekdays, he hated these two cousins as much as he wanted. One of them was a crazy woman, the other was arrogant, and they were not normal people.
But if Narcissa disappeared suddenly, this way of staying away from his sight was not acceptable to him.
What's more, Narcissa is always better than Bellatrix's cousin, at least she seems to be a person with some feelings in general.
But even so, Sirius still didn't say a word, and it was Lupine who was a quiet bystander who finally decided to deliver the news to Lucius.
He and Sirius have been friends since childhood, and he can see clearly what is wrong in the other party's heart better than anyone else. Since Sirius was having a hard time opening his mouth, Lupine took his place as the good old man who didn't care about the past.
At this moment, Lucius couldn't help feeling extremely heavy while holding the letter.
He had a very direct conflict with Dumbledore's organization. When Voldemort first rose to power, he secretly participated in the battle. And this time, he was even forced to stand on the opposite side of confronting this organization head-on.
But now that Voldemort was defeated and lost, he, Lucius Malfoy, was not only fished out of Azkaban by Maca, but now he also got the latest clue of his long-lost wife Narcissa. It is naturally impossible to say that he does not feel ashamed in his heart.
Although in many cases, he, Lucius, was forced to make choices by the situation, but the cause of these things was because he had been trying to profit from them, which was an indisputable fact.
Hogwarts...
He silently chanted this word, and actually tasted a feeling that he didn't have in the past. At the beginning, I was also a student of this school, but what kind of power made me a person who was completely opposite to those guys?
When Narcissa is found, shouldn't Draco find a way to get along with those Gryffindors?
While Lucius was stunned by his own thought, he hurriedly got up holding the letter paper, and paced back and forth in the room.
Before he could think about those things, he had to find a wife. Otherwise, even if he sent his son back to Hogwarts again, how would the child have the heart to continue his studies?
Berlin, Germany...? While wandering, Lucius desperately searched for the memories in his mind, There should be a few families over there who have had a good relationship with my Malfoy family, and we should ask them for help... …No, I think I should go to Germany myself...”
Thinking of this, he immediately used an apparition, and turned to the owl hut in the manor.
