Chapter 97 Draco, the Cheating Father
boom!
The moment green flames enveloped his body, Haliton felt something bad.
Without giving him any chance to speak, the Floo Network teleported him to a dark place.
The terrifying and eerie atmosphere made his scalp tingle.
After walking a few steps, through the window of the store, a head of rich platinum blond hair appeared in Harry's eyes like a savior.
He rolled up from the ground and waved his arms in Draco's direction.
"Draco! Draco!"
"Harry?"
Draco hurriedly opened the door and walked in, looking at Harry who looked confused.
"Harry? Why are you here?"
"I was originally at the Burrow, Ron's house, and wanted to use Floo powder to go to Diagon Alley, but... I opened my eyes and ended up here."
"Draco, what are you doing!"
Outside the door, a serious voice sounded.
When he saw Harry, his eyes showed an evil look.
"Dad, he is my friend. He took the wrong path using Floo powder and came here by accident."
Lucius looked Harry up and down and found that he did not look like he was following him.
Most of the wariness in my heart was gone.
"Since he is your friend, I will come with you and send him to his family later."
Due to other information he received from Argos, Lucius was able to process dark magic items much faster than in the original work.
This time I came here just to wrap things up and didn't care about the time.
Draco breathed a sigh of relief and patted Harry's shoulder in comfort.
"Come on, 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 take Draco back and rebuild him.
What the hell, you are Voldemort’s younger brother, and you are hooking up with the savior?
Spread the word, do you want me to take this life?
Looking at Draco's confused eyes, I thought of Yagosto's wise and almost demonic plan.
Lucius took a few deep breaths and kept comforting himself.
biological! biological!
No matter how stupid you are, you are still your own child!
He wanted to leave Harry here, but the words were out of his mouth.
Moreover, even if he wanted to abandon him, with Draco's temper, he would definitely stay with him.
In desperation, he had no choice but to take Harry with him towards Diagon Alley.
…
All the way to the Saints Bookstore in Diagon Alley.
The Weasleys were already waiting here.
After one year of operation, the first choice of most wizards has changed from Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to Saints Bookstore.
The original Lockhart book signing also moved from Flourish and Blotts to the more prosperous Saint.
The entire store was crowded with wizards of all kinds who came to buy books and attend book signings.
"Oh, thank God you didn't go too far after all!"
Seeing Harry coming, Mrs. Molly walked a few steps quickly and stepped forward to brush the dust off Harry's body.
"I'm fine, Mrs. Molly."
"Fortunately I met Draco and his father."
Harry briefly recounted what he had just experienced, but he forgot that the Malfoy family and Weasley had never dealt with each other.
Especially recently, Arthur and his people have frequently gone to Malfoy's house to search for dark magic items!
At this moment, the two are enemies and are extremely jealous when they meet!
"Look, who is this? The famous Director of the Department for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Articles, Mr. Arthur Weasley!"
"The Ministry of Magic must be very busy, right? Making surprise inspections all day long?"
"I hope you get overtime pay."
"I'm afraid as things stand, not really."
"The Ministry of Magic won't give you a good salary, so why don't you stop embarrassing wizards?"
Lucius's words were thorny, making Ron's eyes red with anger.
Arthur showed no sign of weakness and strode to Lucius.
Both of them are one of the twenty-eight sacred tribes, but their clothes are in stark contrast.
“It seems we have very different understandings of shame.”
"Malfoy!"
Lucius sneered: "Obviously, hanging out with Muggles..."
"Can your family get any more depraved?"
There were almost sparks between the eyes of Arthur and Lucius.
"ladies and gentlemen!"
A loud voice interrupted the glare between the two.
"Gilderoy Lockhart please!"
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the figure walking up the stairs.
Mrs. Molly tugged at Arthur's sleeve.
"Arthur, there are children here."
Draco also didn't want to cause trouble in Argos's shop, so he reminded Lucius softly.
"dad."
Lucius snorted coldly, swung his robe, and drew a sharp arc.
"You look at the books you need here, and I'll go take care of something."
After saying that, he turned around and walked upstairs.
Mrs. Molly looked at Draco, then at Arthur, hesitated, and then pulled Draco over.
"Come here, children, the matters of your father's generation should not involve you."
"Thank you for sending Harry back."
Arthur also nodded, indicating that he would not express his anger.
Harry moved closer to Draco.
"Your father just went..."
"I should have gone to talk to Yagus. As you know, the Saint has cooperated with many families."
"The evil dark wizard!"
Ron was still worried about Lucius's words, and his attitude towards Draco was extremely unkind.
Mrs. Molly scooped him up.
"Ron! Don't say such things!"
…
On the other side, after Lucius went upstairs, he saw Yagus sitting in front of the coffee table within a few steps, holding a thick book and reading something.
Next to her was Hermione, holding a big orange cat.
It's Crookshanks.
Yagus has been interested in this cat for a long time.
In the original work, it was keenly aware of Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew, so as soon as it appeared in the pet shop, Argus sent someone to buy it back.
I gave it to Hermione as a gift while she was here today.
"Good morning, Mr. Grindelwald."
"Good morning, Mr. Malfoy."
Argus put down his book and invited Lucius to sit down.
"Is this Miss Granger?"
"Draco and Mr. Grindelwald have mentioned you more than once. You are the most outstanding student in Hogwarts second only to Mr. Grindelwald."
"Nice to meet you."
Lucius's attitude towards Hermione at this time is completely opposite to the first meeting in the original book.
In the original work, he can be said to vividly express the superiority of pure blood.
But now, it is a polite and respectful attitude.
The Malfoy family has always sought advantages and avoided disadvantages, and being able to sit next to Argus is enough to show their status.
Not to mention that his parents are Muggles, even if he is a werewolf, he will not show the slightest disdain!
"Hello, Mr. Malfoy."
Hermione stood up and saluted, looking at Argus and then at Lucius.
Wisely, he chose to leave temporarily, leaving room for the two of them to talk.
"Mr. Grindelwald, thank you for your help to the Malfoy family."
"Malfoy will be your everlasting companion."
Lucius saluted Argus, feeling frightened when he thought of the recent surprise inspections.
The Malfoy family has collected many dark magic items over the years, and it would take a lot of time to process them.
If Yagus hadn't reminded him that he would have spent a lot of money if he wanted to completely distance himself.
"We are partners, so naturally we should help each other."
Yagus 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 wasting time."
"So, if you have anything to say, please say it directly."
