Chapter 137 The Morning Newspaper

Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire in the early morning.
This is a very large and decent manor, and the carvings and decorations everywhere are full of ancient and exquisite charm.
The soft and warm sunlight hits the windows, and those regular and beautiful rhombic glass reflects the eye-catching light.
Lucius Malfoy stood by the window and looked down. A white peacock stood by the magnificent fountain and was pacing slowly.
The house elf in ragged clothes followed behind the white peacock, holding a small bowl in his hand, and was feeding it.
slap... slap...
Lucius turned his head to see his son Draco walking out the door.
The golden sun hit his face, his pale complexion seemed to blend with the long platinum hair, making him look less gentle.
"Father, good morning." Draco was fully dressed, standing at the door of the room stretching his muscles.After saying hello, he began to exhale, making a long sound from his mouth.
Lucius sighed and moved his lips to say something, but in the end thousands of words turned into the simplest greeting, "Good morning, Draco."
After finishing the stretch, Draco left the manor and went for a morning jog along the wide avenue in the courtyard, and at the same time he did not lose his breath.
Lucius continued to watch all this through the window, still feeling a bit unbelievable... It's just a school year at Hogwarts, why did his drag brother become so self-disciplined?
Get up at seven o'clock on time, start reciting some texts, then start stretching your body, exhale briefly, and finally come to the courtyard to start morning exercises, every day of summer vacation is like this, rain or shine.
To be honest, when Lucius discovered this at first, he was extremely moved.
He felt that his child had finally grown up and began to know how to work hard for the glory of the pure-blood family.
However, when Draco kept saying "Our Professor Kong said... our Professor Kong said...", he realized that things seemed not that simple.
The time he remembered most clearly was when he learned that Arthur Weasley was going to investigate the proliferation of black magic items, he couldn't help cursing: "What a pure-blooded scum!"
"Does he think he can bring anything by doing this? Apart from embarrassing other pure-blood wizards, he can't do anything!"
This was just an angry remark. There were too many dark magic items in the manor. If Arthur Weasley searched the manor, he would still bring himself a lot of trouble.
He didn't want the fact that there were black magic items in his home to be exposed, lest someone with a heart would link this matter with the former Dark Lord and cause unreasonable speculation.
Just when he was angry, Draco passed the living room after the evening class, and said inexplicably: "Father, you are right! Professor Kong told us something."
"Glory is won by yourself! If you want to achieve any kind of glory, you can only rely on yourself! Professor Kong said it very well!"
It was obviously such an uplifting sentence, but Lucius felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it.
I remember another time when we were having lunch, Draco suddenly made some suggestions to the house elf in charge of cooking, and also mentioned this Professor Kong.
"Oslin, you can add some meat in the future. It would be great if the taste can be made thicker. Professor Kong said that you need to pay attention to nutritional intake after exercise!"
This is just a small suggestion, but Lucius still has a vague feeling that a good cabbage is being swallowed by a pig, which is very subtle and weird.
Snapped!
The same ragged house elf appeared. He bent down deeply and raised his hands, handing a copy of the "Daily Prophet" to Lucius.
Reading the "Daily Prophet" is his habit. Recently, he has paid more attention to see if there is a statement about the Ministry of Magic in the newspaper.
As long as the Ministry of Magic announced the end of the search for black magic items, he didn't need to think about how to deal with the large pile of black magic items in the manor.
He keenly noticed that the headline of "Daily Prophet" today seems to be bigger than before, and the headline alone occupies half of the front page of the newspaper:
"Professor Kong of Hogwarts, a famous school of magic, teamed up with the Ministry of Magic to expose the conspiracy of the Magic Congress of the United States, and released a large number of poisoned Muggles and wizards from other countries. This incident has a wide range and affects many countries. It is the wizarding world. Since the war..."
That's weird, watch it again!
He read through this extremely lengthy title again, only to find that the above irrelevant terms about Hogwarts, Professor Kong, the Ministry of Magic of the United Kingdom, and the Magic Congress of the United States really appeared on the same title at the same time. .
"According to a report by the Wizarding Truth Agency on the [-]th, Nikolay Alexandrovich Pogolovsky, the minister of the Ministry of Magic, said that the European wizarding world will arrest all wizards in the United Kingdom on its own. .”
"Pogorovski said: 'The Ministry of Magic will bring the wizarding world to the attention of the wizarding world on the premise of adhering to the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, and we call for those involved to be brought to justice. .'The Ministry of Magic will itself seek out those who committed this crime, and they shall be apprehended and punished..."
-------------------------------------
"Winston R. Roy, Director of the International Magic Cooperation Department of the Magic Congress, issued a statement on the [-]th that the Magic Congress will pay attention to this international crisis, thoroughly investigate all the people involved in the Congress, and give the European magic world an accurate explanation. ..."
The girl brought the milk glass to the middle-aged man who was reading a newspaper.
Her skin was pale, her eyebrows were very light, and the radish earrings hanging from her earlobe were still shaking slightly. She blinked her big slightly protruding eyes and asked softly:
"Dad, this is the first time you have read the contents of the "Daily Prophet". What happened?"
The man's name was Xenophilius Lovegood, the editor-in-chief of "The Quibbler". He touched the girl's long dark golden-brown hair and said with a smile:
"Luna, today's "Daily Prophet" is very interesting. It should be the most interesting news in recent years."
"Aren't you going to study at Hogwarts? There just happened to be something about Professor Hogwarts. Professor Kong teamed up with the Ministry of Magic of the Sulian to arrest a group of wizards from the country who were lurking in Sulian."
"Sounds a bit confusing?" Luna tilted her head and said, took the newspaper from the man's hand, and read the contents in an ethereal and melodious voice...
It's not just Lucius and Xenophilius who are reading the newspaper, as long as families with children studying at Hogwarts are reading today's newspaper.
The Weasley twins moved their heads together. When they saw the words Hogwarts and Professor Kong appearing on the "Daily Prophet", they were suddenly a little curious.
"Dad, what are you looking at? It seems that the "Daily Prophet" rarely reports anything related to the school?"
Before Arthur Weasley could answer, his wife Molly called out first: "Hurry up and have breakfast! We will go to Diagon Alley to buy textbooks later! Don't delay today's trip!"
This is a very large and decent manor, and the carvings and decorations everywhere are full of ancient and exquisite charm.
