At this moment, the atmosphere in Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire, England is tense.
All the house elves in the manor were cautious. They looked at the door of the master's study in horror, not daring to make the slightest sound, for fear of disturbing the master accidentally.
Inside the study is a spacious circular room with luxurious decorations.
With dark green and silver as the main color, it is decorated with luxurious furniture, marble fireplace and gilt mirror.
Right above the ceiling is a precious crystal chandelier, and the floor tiles are covered by gorgeous carpets. The huge bookshelves surrounding most of the room are filled with out-of-print magic books, and there are more than a dozen portraits hanging beside them. All are the patriarchs of the Malfoy family.
Under the portrait, Lucius Malfoy looked gloomy at the flames in the fireplace, and from the expression on his face, it was clear that he was in a bad mood right now.
He had just received a letter, the content of which was very simple. The group of old guys from the Dangerous Creatures Disposal Committee said that they would return all the gold Galleons he had sent earlier, which meant that they would refuse to support themselves in killing The hippogriff's decision.
Unbelievable, they actually cut off the Malfoy family? !
If this kind of thing is put in the past, it is simply unimaginable.
Lucius originally thought that the Ministry of Magic politicians had always been under his control, relying on the prestige and money offensive of the Malfoy family, he was a duck to water in it.
Even if the Dark Lord failed to escape twelve years ago, the power of the Malfoy family was not affected in the slightest.
But now, they actually rejected themselves? !
There was a wry smile on Lucius' face. He wanted to do something, but found that he couldn't do anything.
In recent years, the prestige of the Malfoy family has indeed declined greatly. Until now, he was so weak that he couldn't even kill a Hippogriff.
"Damn it, it's all damn Dumbledore and those dirty Mudbloods!" Lucius said angrily.
In his opinion, it was all Dumbledore's fault.
The life of the pure-blood families is getting harder and harder, and their status is going from bad to worse. On the contrary, more and more Muggle-born Mudbloods are in high positions.
Lucius suddenly missed the days when the Dark Lord was still there. Although he himself didn't have much affection for Voldemort, the other party's ideas were what the pure-blood families really needed. They were the most noble, those damned mudbloods and Muggles were, of course, enslaved by them.
Lucius took a deep breath, he knew he had to keep calm, although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't show these dangerous thoughts.
Judging from the current situation, this does not do him any good.
The ability of the Malfoy family to last for a thousand years is not due to short-term powerful strength, but unparalleled wisdom in life.
But he can't just do nothing and wait for his complaint request to be rejected!
Since I was expelled from the board of directors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft at the beginning of this year, the Malfoy family has lost all face; It will really become everyone's laughing stock.
If you can't reflect your own nobility, status and power different from ordinary wizards, what is the difference between pure-blood wizards and those lowly mudbloods? !
If a few Squibs and Mudbloods can knock the face of the Malfoy family on the ground, then the name Malfoy will soon become as worthless as the pure-blood traitor Weasley!
No, no, don't let this happen!
I have to do something, maybe use some hidden power or more Galleons.
Just when Lucius Malfoy was thinking about his next move, a beautiful black long-eared owl suddenly flew in from the window, interrupting his thinking.
"Damn it!" Lucius yelled in disgust.
Could it be that the group of lazy house-elves in the house were all dead, and the owls flew directly into his study
Or do they all want to leave the Malfoy family like Dobby the traitor
Thinking of Dobby, and thinking of that nasty house-elf who dared to betray him and the Malfoy family, Lucius was furious.
For this incident, he was ridiculed by his friends for a whole year.
Lucius drew his wand out, ready to make the reckless owl pay in blood.
The next second, he stopped suddenly.
He saw the mark on the owl, which was from Hogwarts.
Lucius was a little curious, who would be the person who wrote to him? !
Certainly not Draco, he had other channels to contact him.
It wouldn't be Severus either, Lucius had never seen him use an owl.
Except for these two people, Lucius really couldn't think of anyone in Hogwarts who would contact him at this time, and he didn't know what it said
He walked over and took off the letter paper on the owl's feet and unfolded it. The handwriting on it was very ugly and scrawled, and the words were very rude.
The letter said: To Lucius Malfoy, my dear old friend, as Christmas is approaching, I will prepare a big gift for you at Hogwarts, I hope you will be satisfied, and I beg you to help I... ...
Lucius frowned secretly, he didn't remember when he had such an old friend in Hogwarts.
Also, what kind of gift will the other party prepare for yourself? !
He watched it patiently, and after a few seconds, his brows relaxed.
Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, that James Lupine is actually a werewolf? !
Looking at the filthy letter paper in his hand, Lucius suddenly showed a cold and contented smile.
It was an unexpected Christmas gift, and if it's true, it's big news.
But this was not enough. A tame werewolf became a teacher, but it was only to the extent of being the headline on the front page of the "Daily Prophet", and it could not shake Dumbledore at all.
As the greatest white wizard recognized by the magic world since modern times, Dumbledore's status and power are beyond imagination.
He is not as simple as the principal of a magic school. Last year, the basilisk attacked the students in Hogwarts Castle. It was not until the last moment, after so many attacks, that Lucius managed to persuade the other directors to agree to remove him. Dumbledore.
Of course a werewolf couldn't compare to a basilisk, and he had to add some fuel to the fire. Only in this way could it burn more vigorously.
But the most important thing is to write to yourself that person, what he will do.
If both things are successful, then I have full confidence in driving Dumbledore out of Hogwarts.
With careful preparation, even Dumbledore's reputation is not out of the question.
After all, unlike the Chamber of Secrets incident, this incident was entirely caused by Dumbledore. Compared with this incident, the life and death of the stupid Hagrid and the equally stupid Hippogriff are nothing. Lucius's mind is now completely focused on what this letter said.
Although I don't know who the other party is, it doesn't matter.
The key is the information he said and what he will do, this is very important!
As for the thing that the other party asked me to do, it was just a matter of effort, I just needed to pay attention to the time.
Lucius looked at the wall clock, there were still ten minutes until two o'clock in the afternoon.
Although it was hasty, but there was still time, Lucius pondered for a moment and secretly made up his mind.
Although this matter is dangerous, it is in line with the values of the Malfoy family that you don't need to show your face, hide behind the scenes and stir up the flames, and let others charge the front line.
"Bobby!" he yelled.
The next second, with a bang, a cowardly house elf appeared in the room.
"Here I am, Master." Bobby said in a sharp voice, and he looked at Lucius Malfoy in horror, for fear that the other party would punish him.
"Get my gown ready, hurry up, I'm going to meet the Minister of Magic." Lucius paused for a moment, and continued, "Also, prepare as many Galleons as possible, except Fudge Besides, my greedy old friends have no small appetites."
He walked quickly to his desk. Before meeting Fudge, Lucius was going to write a few letters to those old friends whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Lido's downfall of the pure-blood family.
