Malfoy Manor.
On the long dining table, Lucius sat at the head seat, his wife and children sat on both sides, and the steaming food was already set.
Without the presence of outsiders, the Malfoy family's dinner does not need so many rules. The three chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
As Draco's mother, Narcissa's concerns were very common, nothing more than trivial matters such as food, clothing, housing and transportation in school, in order to understand her son's current situation.
Compared to last year's a little flustered, this year's Draco has been able to deal with his mother's questions very well.
Generally, they would talk about some learning matters, including what Konno taught him, how Snape took care of him, and briefly talk about the magic he has now mastered.
Anyway, the report card is there, and the knowledge with actual evidence, he exaggerates a little, and it is easy to win the praise of his parents.
Narcissa looked at her son with a gratified expression, but turned around and sighed again, "Actually, I regret letting you enter Hogwarts. It would have been better if I had chosen Durmstrang."
"The matter of the chamber of secrets is settled. I thought the murderer was that stupid big man, but I didn't expect it to be that Lockhart!"
"Fortunately, I thought he was a knowledgeable person before, and even bought the book he wrote on cleaning up pests."
"Lucius, did Dumbledore invite a liar like Lockhart into the school, didn't he ask the school board for instructions?"
Lucius put down the fork in his hand, wiped off the sauce from the corner of his mouth, and coughed lightly, "There is no need to ask for instructions for this kind of thing, besides, the main job of the school board is to review courses and approve funding requirements."
"I thought Draco would have a better time at Hogwarts, but I didn't expect it would still scare me!" Narcissa looked at Draco with loving eyes.
"I didn't expect that Lockhart to be so stupid! He brought such a dangerous black magic item to school! What if that monster hurt Draco?"
"Merlin's beard! I really can't believe it! Lucius, do you remember? The Chamber of Secrets was opened 50 years ago, and someone died that time!"
Lucius took a sip of the red wine and nodded slightly to express his memory.
Narcissa was still a little uneasy, "Lucius, let's go to Durmstrang as a guest in a few days! Karkaroff is your acquaintance, right? Ask him to clear up, so that Draco can transfer schools."
Draco quickly said: "No! I will go to Professor Kong to receive tutoring in a few days! I will go to Hogwarts!"
Narcissa looked at Lucius with anticipation in her eyes, hoping to get her husband's support.
Lucius didn't look at Narcissa's eyes, but coughed lightly and asked again: "To receive counseling? How many people are there?"
"There are four people in total! Each academy just selects one!" Draco said proudly.
Narcissa's voice raised a bit, "So what? We don't lack counseling! If you need counseling, Mom can help you!"
Lucius put the napkin on the table, looked at his wife and said, "Narcisha, let me understand this matter? You just said that Draco has grown up, why don't you make an appointment and go to the Tuofan tailor shop to order?" A dress, right? He's also at the age where he needs a dress!"
Narcissa crossed her arms, stared at her husband opposite, and finally said, "Okay! But I still think it might be better to go to Durmstrang."
After Narcissa left, both father and son breathed a sigh of relief.
Lucius straightened his expression again, showing the majesty a parent should have, "Draco, you mean that Professor Kong is going to give you summer tutoring?"
Draco blinked, "Yes... Tomorrow is the first tutoring session, and he hasn't decided when the next one will be."
"You said that there are four people selected by Professor Kong. What are their names? Do you know?"
"One is Cedric Diggory from Hufflepuff, one is Chang Cho from Ravenclaw, and the other is Neville Longbottom from Gryffindor."
"Digory and Longbottom?" Lucius knocked on the table, and a house-elf appeared beside him, "Bring me that booklet!"
"Yes! My master!" said the house-elf with a ninety-degree bow.
Lucius held the booklet sent by the house-elf in his hand, and slowly searched for the name along the directory on it.
"Anything else? Just tutoring?" he asked as he rummaged through the names.
"Professor Kong hopes that from the next school year, we can be responsible for guiding the students who are promoted to the second grade and sharing his pressure."
Sharing the pressure... Lucius almost couldn't hold back, and almost broke free from the state of "parental authority".
A person who works one day and six days off, actually said that there is teaching pressure?
Then take a few more classes!The other teachers are busy all week long, and only Kong Nuo has one class a week, and now he wants the students to share the pressure.
wrong!How could a person who could defeat Voldemort head-on have such a superficial purpose?
Lucius looked at Draco who was full and was wiping his mouth, "Didn't you say more?"
"No! Professor Kong said that we can learn more advanced knowledge of martial arts, so he specially let us pass the summer vacation."
"Is that so?" Lucius found the two surnames Diggory and Longbottom, and suddenly felt that perhaps Kong Nuo's purpose was not that simple.
In the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures, there is a Ministry of Magic employee named Amos Diggory, and his child is named Cedric Diggory.
Lucius, as a former Death Eater, of course knew about the Longbottom family. This family had a couple of heroic Aurors and members of the Order of the Phoenix.
Later, the Auror couple was kidnapped by Narcissa's sister and subjected to inhumane torture. The couple became insane due to the torture and are currently still receiving treatment in St. Mungo.
The couple also left behind a child, the child's name is Neville Longbottom.
Lucius sorted out the backgrounds of these people, and suddenly felt that Kong Nuo might be planning to do something big!
Of the four selected students, Lucius hadn't heard much about the name Zhang Qiu, so this Ravenclaw should be a cover.
And Cedric's father was a small employee of the Ministry of Magic. Perhaps Connor planned to use this relationship to infiltrate the Ministry of Magic.
He also tried this approach, and the effect is remarkable.
Now, as long as it is related to the Ministry of Magic, as long as the bottom line is not involved, the Ministry of Magic can give him the green light.
The most important thing was this Neville Longbottom. Lucius guessed that this child was Konno's ultimate goal.
Kong Nuo definitely wants to use this Neville Longbottom to catch up with the Auror line, so as to have more power!
