Witcher at Hogwarts

Chapter 124 Blackmailing Lucius Malfoy

Lucius Malfoy stared at Ethan for a long time with his cold gray-blue eyes, and finally his pale, pointed face forced out an emotionless smile at Ethan.

"Mr. Ethan, congratulations on winning the Order of Merlin and the position in the Ministry of Magic." Lucius Malfoy said in a dry voice, and then extended his hand to Ethan.

"Thank you, Mr. Malfoy." Ethan put on a warm smile and shook hands with Lucius Malfoy.

At this time, Harry finally appeared at the door of the principal's office.

Seeing Lucius Malfoy, Harry instinctively shrank his head.

"Harry, you're here, come here quickly." Ethan greeted Harry warmly and pulled Harry to his side.

When Dobby saw Harry, he became obviously excited and began to tremble, as if he wanted to say something to him.

Lucius Malfoy noticed Dobby's abnormality and stared at Dobby fiercely. Dobby seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and continued to grovel and stand behind Lucius Malfoy dejectedly.

"Mr. Ethan, I was assigned by the Hogwarts Board of Directors to investigate this attack." Lucius Malfoy proudly raised his chin and said to Ethan.

"Then I will try my best to cooperate with you." Ethan pretended to be nervous.

Seeing Ethan's appearance, Lucius Malfoy raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Mr. Ethan, I want to know who is the murderer this time? And what on earth did Principal Dumbledore do? Why did he leave the school without permission?" Lucius Malfoy asked one after another in a cold voice.

"We have caught the murderer" Ethan said softly.

"Oh? Great! Who is the murderer?" Lucius Malfoy's gray-blue eyes shot out a sharp light and asked Ethan.

"It's Voldemort" Ethan said softly. After saying that, Ethan paid close attention to Lucius Malfoy's reaction.

Lucius Malfoy has a very good psychological quality, and his expression did not change at all after hearing the name.

However, with his keen sense of hunting monsters, Ethan observed that after hearing the name "Voldemort", Lucius Malfoy's pupils shrank to the size of a needle in an instant.

"But how is this possible? The mysterious man has been dead for a long time." Lucius Malfoy said in a somewhat unnatural voice.

"This time he planned the conspiracy through another method." Ethan opened a small drawer in the principal's office and took out a black-covered notebook with a large hole through the middle.

Seeing this notebook, Lucius Malfoy's body suddenly tensed up, but he still tried hard to maintain his elegance and calmness as a noble.

"Can you explain it to me in detail, Mr. Ethan?" Lucius Malfoy asked.

While Ethan was talking to Lucius Malfoy, Harry kept looking at Dobby. Dobby's bad appearance made Harry very worried.

Realizing that Harry was looking at him, Dobby stared at Harry meaningfully with his eyes as big as light bulbs.

While he kept pointing at the diary and Lucius Malfoy, he hit his head hard with his fist.

"This thing is a Horcrux made when Voldemort was 16 years old. It contains a piece of Voldemort's soul. Someone put it in a Hogwarts student's book. This thing bewitched that person with its own evil magic. A young wizard, this is the whole truth about the Chamber of Secrets."

"So that's it," Lucius Malfoy said slowly to Ethan.

"Don't worry Mr. Malfoy. I'm already trying my best to investigate the culprit behind this incident. Now I have found important clues. I think it won't be long before I can trace the holder of Voldemort's diary."

Ethan stared at Lucius Malfoy with a half-smile.

Ethan intentionally or unintentionally revealed a badge on his chest, which was sent by the Ministry of Magic via owl this morning.

The M logo representing the British Ministry of Magic is engraved in the middle of the badge, and on the left and right sides of the logo are two long swords crossing the M in the middle.

This badge is the symbol of the Magical Crisis Response Team.

Lucius Malfoy said nothing, and his face suddenly seemed to be covered with a mask. Ethan saw Lucius Malfoy's pale hands clenched into fists, and then unclenched.

"Then I hope you can solve the case soon." Lucius Malfoy said hoarsely.

Professor McGonagall and Harry listened to the exchange between the two with wide eyes. They seemed to recognize the above, but they didn't seem to understand anything.

Lucius Malfoy found that Ethan was still staring at him with meaningful eyes, especially Ethan's amber cat-like eyes, which were scanning back and forth on his neck, as if looking for a suitable place to cut the knife.

"Mr. Ethan, can we have a few words in private?" Lucius Malfoy said in a hoarse voice.

"Of course." Ethan agreed readily, and then the two of them left the principal's office and stopped in the corridor.

"Mr. Ethan, I know that your magical crisis response team has just been established. I would like to know whether your team needs some financial sponsorship?" Lucius Malfoy stared at Ethan's face closely, observing Ethan's expressions. reaction.

"If there is, then it really couldn't be better!" Ethan said happily, "After all, upholding justice requires a very high cost."

"On behalf of the Malfoy family, I can provide you with a sum of funds. I think twenty thousand galleons is a suitable price." Lucius Malfoy gritted his teeth and said.

Ethan was a little surprised that Lucius Malfoy was willing to bleed like this. It seemed that Lucius valued the honor of the Malfoy family very seriously.

Ethan had no confidence that he could bring down the Malfoy family with a broken notebook.

After all, the power of the Malfoy family in the Ministry of Magic is quite intricate, and it is possible to directly destroy the Malfoy family by relying on Voldemort's diary.

Besides, overthrowing the Malfoy family would only make other pure-blood families wary of him, without any other benefits, so Ethan planned to compromise with Lucius Malfoy.

"Really? Thank you very much! Mr. Malfoy! You have really helped me a lot!" Ethan held Lucius Malfoy's hand and shook it excitedly.

Lucius Malfoy forced a smile under the immense pain.

"By the way, Ethan, what clues have you found about Voldemort's diary? Do you need my help?" Lucius Malfoy asked pretending to be casual.

"Oh my god! It's so sad!" Ethan put on a bitter look, "All the clues have been cut off, and I have found nothing in my investigation! I'm afraid this case will be fruitless!"

Ethan deliberately exaggerated the words with Anluius Malfoy in mind to prevent him from having other ideas.

"That's such a pity." Lucius Malfoy's expression finally improved.

"But it doesn't matter. The most important thing for a young talent like you is the opportunity to get ahead." Lucius Malfoy patted Ethan's shoulder and comforted him with false affection.

The two returned to the principal's office with false smiles. Harry and Professor McGonagall looked at the scene in front of them in surprise.

They didn't understand why the relationship between the two became so good during the short period of time they went out.
