From nine to five, two o'clock and one hour, Malfoy's life is very peaceful now.
Most of them work in the background so that he doesn't have to endure the troubles of reception. You must know that there are many low-quality people in both Muggle society and wizard society. Being entangled in the front desk is not only a waste of time, but also makes people I am not in a very happy mood for the day.
In the blink of an eye, half of the third holiday has passed.
Since that private meeting with Griphook in the tavern, he and Griphook have never had any contact in private. The first reason is to avoid suspicion after the incident, and the second reason is that it is unnecessary.
He was waiting for a reasonable opportunity to carry out his plan.
As Malfoy, who can greatly improve the efficiency of the goblin's work and is not an employee in essence, the goblin made an exception and vacated a separate office for him. The comfortable leather armchair allowed him to browse leisurely after completing tasks ahead of schedule. Newspapers, focusing on the information he needs, when he quickly scanned through the meaningless ordinary news, a row of bold and black headlines made his pupils constrict.
"The notorious wizard Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban, the Ministry of Magic confirmed today, and remains at large. "We are working hard to recapture Black. "This is Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, speaking this morning. In the photo in the newspaper, he showed an embarrassed smile to the reporter, his brows were full of sorrow. It is obvious that such a thing happened during his tenure. Yes. His popularity was a major blow.
"The opportunity has come." Malfoy smiled.
He opened the drawer under the desk, randomly took out a piece of parchment, spread it on the table, and wrote slowly with a quill pen:
Dear Gringotts Branch Manager:
I'm sure you've heard the biggest news of the day - Sirius Black, the infamous man who ended thirteen lives with a single spell, has escaped from Azkaban and is known to be The possible sole heir of the noble Black family, and a loyal servant of the known mysterious man, we have enough reasons to believe that he may come to Gringotts to retrieve his wealth, any act of recruiting horses needs money He may still firmly believe that the mysterious person can make a comeback, and we can guess that he doesn't mind looting the place again when he retrieves his wealth.
Last year and this year, I was very honored to get the opportunity to work here. Of course, it is not so much a job as you gave me a chance to exercise on the thin side of my father. I am very grateful, but because of this I should put forward some superficial suggestions for the development of the bank.
Before Black is captured and brought to justice, I think the protection of Gringotts should be properly strengthened, even if it is already said to be impenetrable. Because even the isolated Azkaban Prison in Beihai couldn't hold that murderer.
I believe that if Gringotts can set an example at this time, it will definitely increase the loyalty and trust of existing customers and the orientation of potential customers.
Not all families are as willing to invest as my father. Compared with Gringotts, more ancient families believe in their own family's private treasury. This is also a good opportunity, assuming that Black really comes Yes, if we can still assist in the capture, I think the reputation of the Gringotts branch in the UK will definitely be raised to a higher level, and it is unknown to get more business through this.
The above is just an immature suggestion from a non-regular employee...
After being humble and leaving his name, Malfoy is going to submit this proposal to the current branch president—a well-behaved goblin without much foresight.
If Malfoy was really just an ordinary employee, this letter would definitely go down the drain, and he might be criticized if he met a stronger leader. After all, no one would like to be dictated by a small employee.
But he is different, not to mention that ordinary employees are no longer comparable to him in terms of contribution, the most important thing is that their family is also one of the important sponsors of this Gringotts branch.
These are enough to make the incumbent think about it.
What's more, these suggestions are indeed very reasonable, and no one thinks that strengthening security measures is wrong.
Just as Malfoy was deep in thought, there was a cooing sound of an owl and the friction of its wings fluttering outside the window. A huge owl with shiny black fur was using its orange eyes Peek out the window and look in. From time to time, he tapped the glass with his claws, hoping to attract the attention of the people inside.
Sighing, Malfoy got up and opened the window to let the owl in.
"It's only this size that can carry so many things." Malfoy couldn't help but think so, looking at the packages covered in the horned owl's broad claws.
These are all kinds of snacks and daily necessities sent by Narcissa, including candies such as licorice wands, sugar quills, various types of chocolates, and desserts baked by his own chef, but obviously, his stomach is loaded. Not everything.
"Maybe it's a happy trouble," Malfoy thought, looking at the apparently excessive amount of food, but he didn't open the packages right away. Instead, he returned to his seat and spread out a piece of parchment to write.
He wants to report peace.
The basilisk incident caused him to lie in bed for a few days. When this incident reached Narcissa's ears, she immediately wanted to rush to Hogwarts to find Dumbledore for a theory. In her daily life, she already It's extreme protection, not to mention hearing that his most precious son was injured, and even almost lost his life.
Except for those close to him, everyone in the Malfoy family was very mean. It was unimaginable what kind of trouble Narcissa could make.
Lucius tried his best to stop her at that time, so that Narcissa did not really go to school, otherwise it was foreseeable that Hogwarts would jump up and down again.
However, after spending the last rare and stable time, Malfoy returned to his home.
Going to the hospital again for a review, the incessant amount of nutritious food, and the item after item disturbed Malfoy, but these were also concerns that he could not refuse.
Because of this incident, Lucius' status in the school council has also declined, but because Dumbledore himself was also negligent, Lucius was not expelled from the council.
From the point of view of common sense, Malfoy was responsible for the decline of his director status, but he didn't mean to blame Malfoy at all.
He just told him: "The glory of pure blood needs to be defended, but you don't need to sacrifice yourself. You must be more careful when encountering such things in the future."
To use an inappropriate analogy, Malfoy's behavior is like a Chinese student who went to the hospital for the college entrance examination, and his parents spent a lot of medical expenses for it.
Who would have the heart to be harsh
In the eyes of Lucius and his wife, it is probably of this nature: their precious son sacrificed his health in order to defend the glory of pure blood, suffered a lot of injuries, and then let himself be slightly affected. .
It's a pity that, in the face of good and evil, life and death, they will one day know what ridiculous beliefs they insist on. Even the former Voldemort was just to entangle all available forces to win them over. A group of pure-blood families, where blood is paramount? He's a mixed race himself.
It is really naive to imagine that after Voldemort came to power, divide and conquer, or that one person is under one man and ten thousand people are over ten thousand.
If he really came to power, maybe the first ones to use the knife might be these so-called pure-blood families.
There is no such thing as complete control of cooperation.
His ambition is to conquer even life and death.
