The latest chapter in the Harry Potter Bastard novel

Solim knew exactly what Lucius meant by this. He feared that his choice would put the Malfoys in great trouble, because at that time, whether it was from Voldemort or from the Ministry, he Lucius could not do anything, he could only hope that he could help Draco in a time of crisis, and maybe leave a little hope for the Malfoys.

The problem of reality, and these realities are still imminent, makes Lucius completely without the reserved of an adult when facing Solim. He could now say that he was out of proportion, because in the eyes of anyone who knew the situation, the Malfoys were on the cusp of the storm right now. Any choice Lucius made would have a huge impact on the future Malfoy family. A family like the Malfoy family must choose sides between Voldemort and the Ministry, and there is no neutrality.

If you want to remain neutral in the face of the coming storm, you will either be like Weasley now, so that you have no value at all, or like Selwyn, you have a deep heritage and great power to ensure that neither side will affect you.

The most uncomfortable thing is the Malfoy family: there is some strength and status, there is a value to be wooed, but there is no such strength to protect themselves. The Malfoy family has power, money, and connections in the wizarding world, which is the value of the Malfoy family, as long as you can master the Malfoy family, then these things that the Malfoy family has can be used for them. And Voldemort also fancy these characteristics of pure-blood families, either to lure or coerce, in short, many pure-blood families in the country have been gathered under Voldemort. These families are not willing to be at the mercy of Voldemort, but there is no way, the skills are inferior, they can’t beat Voldemort, and they want to ensure the continuation of the family, so they can only bend to the end.

After pondering for a moment, Solim spoke: “Uncle Lucius, you have investigated me, then you must also know that although I am also surnamed Selwyn, with my status in the family… I don’t think I can do anything about it, and I don’t have any say within the family. ”

Looking at Lucius’s bleak face, Solim continued, “But it’s not a difficult thing to do to save the Malfoy family. ”

Lucius looked at Solim, waiting for him to continue.

“Draco must have told you about what happened at school last semester, and presumably that’s why you’re upset, uncle. You and I know very well: once that person returns, Malfoy will definitely not be able to hide. ”

Saying that, Solim pointed to Lucius’s left arm, both of them knew what was there.

“He just wants to use Malfoy’s connections and money in the wizarding world to influence the Ministry and control the Ministry. Then, when Malfoy still has use value, some small unpleasantness between you can also be revealed, in this regard, as long as the Malfoy family still has use value, that person will not push you too much. ”

Lucius listened to Solim’s words and nodded.

“But… In the same way, as long as Malfoy still has the value of use, then you can’t get rid of him, when you want to get rid of him and draw a line with him, that is, when Malfoy loses the use value, Uncle Lucius, you have been in contact with that person for a long time, I must know better than me, how he deals with people who have no use value. ”

“The situation today is not as good as before, even if he does return, as long as he does not want to immediately start a war with the entire wizarding world of the Ying Kingdom as soon as he returns, then he will definitely block the news of his return, and he will definitely need a foothold as a base camp to gather Death Eaters,” Speaking of this, Solim looked at Lucius and said, “Uncle, guess where he will choose this base camp?” ”

Lucius couldn’t help but smile bitterly when he heard Solim’s words, does this still need to be guessed? It must be our Malfoy Manor, which covers a large area and has many rooms, and it is not a problem to cram two or three hundred people here. Besides, where else could he choose without Malfoy Manor? Lestrange? Their family only has a three-story small villa, and if they die, they can live in a dozen people. Knott? Their family is not as good as Lestrange. Carol? The two brothers and sisters are still wanted by the Ministry of Magic, and the Aurors have been hunting them down, and in this case, they don’t even have a decent place to live, so naturally they can’t be counted on. The same was true of Antonin Dolohov and the others, who were having a hard time under the Ministry of Magic, and Avery had complained about it at the last meeting, anyway, they were all scared, and it was better to work under the Dark Lord.

However, as Solim said, when Voldemort does return, he will definitely find a place to use as his base camp. Malfoy Manor, on the other hand, was the only choice. In this case, how could Malfoy refuse Voldemort’s request? Not letting Voldemort live in? That’s easy, kill Malfoy directly, and the manor is naturally Voldemort’s.

“If uncle really wants to draw a line with that person, then this manor must not be wanted.” Solim said, “As long as you are the owner of this manor, then he will definitely find you.” And even if you want to sell this manor, you can’t just give it to others, and the surface work must be done. ”

Listening to Solim’s words, Lucius smiled wryly. He understood what Solim meant, since the Dark Lord was very likely to live in Malfoy Manor after his return, then he would sell the manor out before that, and it was best to take this manor under the kind of family or organization that the Dark Lord was afraid of. This will ensure that the manor will not be ruined by the Dark Lord and his minions. However, this manor was the ancestral property of the Malfoy family, and Lucius didn’t really go out, just thinking about it made him suffocate.

“Is there no other way?” Lucius’s cheeks trembled.

“To be honest, unless it’s to kill him very soon after his return, Malfoy can’t hide. I know what you mean by looking for me, uncle, and want me to connect Malfoy with Selwyn and keep Malfoy under Selwyn’s protection. However, I think that even if it succeeds, it is a stupid decision. Solim spread his hands.

If things really turned out as Lucius expected, with Selwyn sheltering Malfoy, what would Voldemort think? Okay, good you Malfoy, your wings are hard, you dare to jump ship, you didn’t even give me the resignation report, you want to leave directly? Think beautiful! Go for your spring and autumn dreams! He was sure, definitely, absolutely going to kill the Malfoys, even if he blamed Selwyn for it.

If Malfoy did escape Voldemort’s grip through this method, what would the rest of Voldemort’s men think? Oh, just find a big thick leg to hug, Voldemort will have a problem with me, you see that’s what Malfoy did, and he is alive and well, let’s go find a thigh to hug. Well, except for those Death Eaters who were loyal to Voldemort, everyone else who had joined Voldemort’s command by coercion and inducement would definitely run out – let’s not discuss whether these people have the ability to find a big thick leg.

“So, in order not to let this happen, he will definitely kill the Malfoys to set an example.”

“Could it be that we Malfoy… Is it really just possible to watch this happen? Is there no way for us to escape this catastrophe? Lucius’s expression was as calm as ever, but his bruised hand still betrayed his heart.

“Uncle Lucius,” Solim smiled, “I don’t believe it, didn’t you, former Death Eaters who escaped, study why that man didn’t die completely?” Solim crossed his hands, “You know, there are few ways to prevent unnatural death, but it doesn’t mean that there are none.” ”

Listening to Solim’s words, Lucius trembled his lips, and finally spit out a word that terrified him:

“Horcruxes.”
