The Malfoy family, one of the twenty-eight pure-blood families.
The contemporary patriarch, Lucius Malfoy, is a Death Eater. Although he is not a diehard follower of Voldemort, he is the one with the highest wealth, status, prestige and influence among all followers.
Therefore, once Voldemort returns, the Malfoy family can provide the greatest help to Voldemort.
In the same way, among the entire Death Eater force, the Malfoy family will cause the most serious damage to the magic world.
Dumbledore noticed this.
After knowing the basilisk, Dumbledore easily discovered the notebook Horcrux in Ginny Weasley's hand by relying on his master-level 'Ingestion of Divine Sense'.
It is also not difficult for Dumbledore to investigate the source of the notebook, so he can confirm that the ultimate source lies with Lucius Malfoy.
For this reason, Dumbledore had a complete plan to expel the Malfoy family, one of the school directors, from the board of directors, so as to prevent the other party from having a bad influence on the college as a director in the future.
Therefore, Dumbledore's so-called fishing means that through the crisis that happened in the college this year, he finally caught Lucius Malfoy's handle completely, so as to force the other party to give up his seat on the board of directors.
If Malfoy agrees, everything is easy to say, otherwise Dumbledore will reveal Lucius Malfoy's identity as a Death Eater.
Even Ke Wen's known wealth of hundreds of thousands is thought of by many people, so let alone the Malfoy family who are equally wealthy.
In addition, many people and families have been hurt by Death Eaters, and there are many wizards who want to seek revenge from Death Eaters.
Driven by hatred and greed, once Malfoy's identity as a Death Eater is revealed, what awaits him is endless attacks.
Therefore, Dumbledore confirmed that once Lucius Malfoy was caught, the other party would never dare to let people release the evidence.
As for the status of the school manager, the other party was reluctant to part with it.
Combining the information in memory and some preparations briefly mentioned by Dumbledore, Kewen finally came up with the whole 'fishing plan'.
It's no wonder that even though Dumbledore was able to deal with the threat of the basilisk, he still continued to let it go and conceal it from the professors.
Only when everyone was kept in the dark, would Lucius Malfoy not notice anything unusual, and would not take the opportunity to get out of the whole incident early.
Therefore, the entire academy continued to panic amid Dumbledore's concealment, and many people were using their own methods to improve their own safety.
Like that shitty Professor Lockhart.
For this reason, he organized a duel club aimed at improving the students' spellcasting ability, and declared that it would allow students to increase their survival rate when facing monsters in the secret room.
Penello and Zhang Qiu want to get involved, after all, both of them are of mixed blood and are the target of being attacked by the basilisk.
But Cowen stopped them, after all he knew that the so-called 'Duel Club' was just a farce.
However, Kewen didn't expect that he stopped his friends, but he couldn't stop himself from contacting that club...
this afternoon.
As soon as Cowen and the trio of wealthy Ravenclaws walked to the door of the practice room, they saw Snape approaching him like a big bat.
Before everyone could say hello, Snape turned his eyes while walking, and fixed on Kewen.
"come over."
Without explaining anything, Snape passed the crowd and continued on after a greeting.
Everyone looked at each other blankly, and then Ke Wen quickly arranged: "Go ahead and practice the spell I taught you yesterday, don't wait for me."
The three rich women nodded in response, while Cowen turned around and chased after Snape.
Quickly catching up to Professor Snape's side, Kewen was about to ask.
But Snape had already understood Cowen's temperament, so he didn't give anyone a chance to speak, and said in a cold voice: "Don't be so long-winded, do what you are asked to do later."
Hearing this, Ke Wen reluctantly closed his opened mouth again, obediently followed Snape all the way, and finally came to a very empty room.
After arriving at the destination, Ke Wen finally knew where it was, wasn't it the club ground created by Professor Lockhart.
Unexpectedly, I would end up getting involved in such a situation.
The arrival of Ke Wen caused a commotion. The students present saw that even the big celebrity Ke Wen had come, so they couldn't help but have more expectations for this club.
Snape didn't care about bringing Cowen here, and went straight to the Slytherin students.
Seeing this, Kewen had no choice but to walk over to Gryffindor with a few greetings.
The twins were there, and even Wood and Cowen's two roommates came to the club.
Fred dragged Ke Wen to a group of senior classmates, laughed and teased in a low voice: "I didn't expect you to come too. Is our Mr. Quinn afraid of the secret room monster?"
"No!" George was waving his teeth and waving his claws to imitate someone, and at the same time growled funnyly: "I'm here to study whether that monster can eat it!"
"Ha ha ha ha… "
The twins entertained themselves, clapping hands and laughing.
Ke Wen stretched out his hand angrily, pushed the two live treasures, and then turned his head to say hello: "Wood, why are you here?"
"There's nothing to do." Wood shrugged helplessly. "Now the college is under martial law, and you have to stay in the dormitory except for classes, so I took this opportunity of the club to come out to relax and watch the excitement."
"Are you all?" Ke Wen looked around at his roommates and classmates in the same grade.
Everyone laughed and nodded, admitting that they were all here to watch the excitement.
At this time, Professor Lockhart, who was wearing a delicate shirt, vest, and one-shoulder cloak, stepped onto the dueling ring, calling for all the students to get closer.
Kewen and other senior students consciously took a step behind and gave up the front row to the little boys in the lower grades.
After gathering around the dueling ring, the senior students whispered to the surrounding students, not many people cared what Professor Lockhart was saying.
Because everyone has experienced so many 'Defense Against the Dark Arts' professors, anyone can easily tell how good the teaching is.
Therefore, this year's Professor Lockhart can only fool the lower grade students and a small group of senior students, and most of the senior students don't buy him.
"Covin Quinn!"
Suddenly, Snape's name-calling interrupted Cowen's chat with the students around him.
Kewen turned his head in surprise, and saw Snape tilting his head coldly, signaling him to come on stage.
He was a little dumbfounded.
But under Snape's stare, Kewen had no choice but to jump onto the dueling platform...
