Chapter 97

The fire was so strong that it was almost too strong.

Bang!

Harry felt something was wrong the moment the green flames enveloped his body.

Without giving him any chance to speak, Filo.com teleported him to a dark place.

The terrifying and weird atmosphere made his scalp tingle.

After walking a few steps, a head of rich platinum blonde hair appeared in Harry's eyes like a savior through the window of the store.

He rolled and crawled up from the ground, waving his arms in the direction of Draco.

"Draco! Draco!"

"Harry?"

Draco hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in, looking at Harry, who was in a state of embarrassment, in confusion.

"Harry? Why are you here?"

"I was originally at the Burrow, Ron's home, and wanted to use the Floo powder to go to Diagon Alley, but... I opened my eyes and ended up here."

"Draco, what are you doing!"

A serious voice sounded outside the door.

Seeing Harry, his eyes showed a bad look.

"Dad, he is my friend. He used the Floo powder and took the wrong way, and came here by accident."

Lucius looked Harry up and down and found that the other party did not seem to be following him.

Most of the vigilance in his heart disappeared.

"Since he is your friend, I will go with you and send him to his family later."

Because the others got the news from Argus, Lucius handled the black magic items much faster than the original book.

This time he came here just to finish the end, and he didn't care about the time.

Draco breathed a sigh of relief and patted Harry's shoulder to comfort him.

"Let's go, Harry. Dad and I will take you back."

"Wait a minute, what did you say his name was?"

"Harry? Harry Potter...what's wrong?"

Harry Potter?

Hearing this name, Lucius wanted to shove Draco back and retrain him.

Damn it, your father is Voldemort's younger brother, and you are arm in arm with the savior?

If this gets out, will your father still be alive!

Looking at Draco's confused eyes, he thought of Agusto's clever plan.

Lucius took a few deep breaths and kept comforting himself.

My own son! My own son!

No matter how stupid he is, he is still my own son!

He wanted to leave Harry here, but the words had already been spoken.

Moreover, even if he wanted to leave him, with Draco's temper, he would definitely accompany him.

In desperation, he had to take Harry with him to Diagon Alley.

...

All the way to the Saint's Bookstore in Diagon Alley.

The Weasley family is already waiting here.

After a year of operation, most wizards have changed their first choice from Flourish and Blotts to Saints Bookstore.

The book signing event of the original Lockhart has also changed from Flourish and Blotts to the more prosperous Saints Bookstore.

The entire store is crowded with all kinds of wizards who come to buy books and attend the book signing event.

"Oh, thank God, you didn't go too far!"

Seeing Harry coming, Mrs. Molly took a few quick steps and stepped forward to brush the dust off Harry.

"I'm fine, Mrs. Molly."

"Fortunately, I met Draco and his father."

Harry briefly recounted his experience just now, but forgot that the Malfoy family and the Weasleys have never been on good terms.

Especially recently, Arthur has brought people to the Malfoy family frequently to search for dark magic items!

At this moment, the two are enemies who are particularly jealous of each other!

"Look, who is this? The famous Director of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Department, Mr. Arthur Weasley!"

"The Ministry of Magic must be very busy, right? Surprise inspections all day long?"

"I hope you get overtime pay."

"I'm afraid that based on the current situation, no."

"The Ministry of Magic doesn't even give you a good salary, so why don't you bring shame to wizards?"

Lucius' words were full of thorns, and Ron's eyes turned red with anger.

Arthur was not to be outdone, and strode to Lucius.

The two were both one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight Clans, but their clothes and attire formed a sharp contrast.

"It seems that our understanding of shame is very different."

"Malfoy!"

Lucius sneered: "Obviously, hanging out with Muggles..."

"Can your family be more depraved?"

Sparks almost flew between Arthur and Lucius' eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

A loud voice interrupted the glare between the two.

"Gilderoy Lockhart, please!"

Everyone's eyes were drawn to the figure walking up the stairs.

Mrs. Molly tugged at Arthur's sleeve.

"Arthur, there are children here."

Draco didn't want to cause trouble in Argus's shop, so he reminded Lucius softly.

"Dad."

Lucius

Hughes snorted coldly, flicked his robe, and drew a sharp arc.

"You look at the books you need here, I'll go take care of something."

After saying that, he turned and walked upstairs.

Mrs. Molly glanced at Draco, then at Arthur, hesitated for a moment, and still pulled Draco over.

"Come here, child, the affairs of your father's generation should not involve you."

"Thank you for sending Harry back."

Arthur also nodded, indicating that he would not vent his anger.

Harry moved closer to Draco.

"Your father just went..."

"He should have gone to talk to Argus. You know, the Saints have cooperated with many families."

"Evil dark wizard!"

Ron was still brooding over what Lucius said, and his attitude towards Draco was extremely unfriendly.

Mrs. Molly pulled him over.

"Ron! Don't say that!"

...

On the other side, after Lucius went upstairs, he saw Argus sitting in front of the coffee table, holding a thick book and reading something.

Next to him was Hermione, holding a big orange cat.

It was Crookshanks.

Argus had been paying attention to this cat for a long time.

In the original book, it could keenly sense Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew, so as soon as it appeared in the pet shop, Argus sent someone to buy it back.

He took advantage of Hermione's visit today and gave it to her as a gift.

"Good morning, Mr. Grindelwald."

"Good morning, Mr. Malfoy."

Argus put down the book and invited Lucius to sit down.

"Is this Miss Granger?"

"Draco and Mr. Grindelwald have mentioned you more than once. You are an excellent student in Hogwarts whose grades are second only to Mr. Grindelwald."

"Nice to meet you."

Lucius's attitude towards Hermione at this time is completely different from the first time they met in the original book.

In the original book, he showed the superiority of pure blood to the fullest.

But now, he is polite and respectful.

The Malfoy family has always been seeking benefits and avoiding harm. Being able to sit next to Argus is enough to show its status.

Not to mention that both parents are Muggles, even if he is a werewolf, he will not show any contempt!

"Hello, Mr. Malfoy."

Hermione stood up and saluted, looking at Argus and then at Lucius.

It was a wise choice to leave temporarily, leaving space for the two to talk.

"Mr. Grindelwald, thank you for helping the Malfoy family."

"Malfoy will be your eternal partner."

Lucius bowed to Argus, and thought of the recent surprise inspections, and felt a little scared.

The Malfoy family has collected a lot of dark magic items over the years, and it takes a lot of time to deal with them.

If Argus hadn't reminded him, he would have to spend a lot of money to completely clear himself.

"We are partners, so we should help each other."

Argus picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Seeing that Lucius had no intention of speaking, he reminded him softly.

"Mr. Malfoy, you should know that I don't like to waste time."

"So, please speak directly if you have something to say."
