Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King

The recent crying had made Malfoy feel somewhat embarrassed. He had never shown such vulnerability in front of anyone, and even when facing his parents, he always tried to maintain a facade of composure and calmness.

He didn't know why, but he couldn't hold back the tears no matter how hard he tried.

However, after this outburst, he felt a long-lost sense of relief. The heavy pressure, the unspeakable loneliness, seemed to have flowed away with the tears.

Therefore, he didn't plan to continue complaining about his inner distress. Complaining wouldn't change anything, and it would only make him seem like an immature child.

Instead of dwelling on the past, which was already beyond redemption, he should focus on the future, such as finding a way out for the Malfoy family.

To be honest, this idea had been lingering in Malfoy's mind for a long time and was by no means a temporary whim.

When he first learned about Voldemort's return, even though he was unwilling, he had to submit to him and join his ranks with his family.

There was no way around it; he was well aware that the Malfoy family was too deeply tied to Voldemort, with no possibility of escape.

Initially, he chose to accept his fate, intending to follow orders under Voldemort like his parents. When facing Harry and the others in the future, he even prepared to ease up appropriately, in order to maintain a balance in his heart.

However, what he had seen and heard during this summer completely shattered his illusions.

The Malfoy family was not as important as he had imagined. In Voldemort's eyes, they were just a chess piece of some value.

His father, Lucius, the once high and mighty head of the Malfoy family, had now fallen into the dust, constantly humbling himself and ingratiating himself. Even such humility was not enough to免除 Voldemort's责难.

Just for failing to complete a task in time, Lucius was repeatedly reprimanded and tortured. That endless humiliation deeply stung Malfoy's heart, and he couldn't accept such a subversive change.

Before Voldemort's return, his father had never abandoned his proud demeanor, even when facing Dumbledore, the most powerful wizard of the time.

However, now his father not only couldn't show the slightest dissatisfaction but also had to wear a smile all day long, just because the other party was Voldemort, a powerful dark wizard who used the Cruciatus Curse and the Killing Curse as ordinary spells, a dictator who concentrated personal power in himself.

Malfoy began to find his childhood thoughts ridiculous. When he was young, Voldemort was just a code name, and he thought that following him would definitely display the glory of pure-bloods.

Now, he realized that Voldemort's rule was not only frightening but also despairing. His ruthlessness made his followers feel insecure, fearing that they would become victims of his wand if they were not careful.

If Voldemort was sure to win, the Malfoy family could endure being even more humble.

However, if the other party wanted to unify the wizarding world, there was an insurmountable mountain—Dumbledore, and now there was also Sebastian, a person whose name many Death Eaters didn't even dare to mention.

Comparing the two sides, Voldemort didn't seem like he could win.

The more Malfoy thought about it, the more he felt that the family's future was bleak.

Looking back at the history of the Malfoy family's rise, he found that the Malfoy family had been able to prosper for a long time by hedging their bets and playing both sides. As long as they didn't put all their eggs in one basket, the Malfoy family would never become a sinking ship.

Therefore, an idea began to sprout in his mind, a risky and crazy idea, which was to secretly find another way out, to free himself and the Malfoy family from this shadow.

After thinking about it, he found that the best person for the Malfoy family to rely on was Sebastian, and he had to rely on him as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be too late to rely on him after Voldemort showed signs of defeat.

However, at Hogwarts, Sebastian was a professor, and as a student, he could talk to him or ask him for advice without any problems.

But if he wanted the other party to accept his allegiance, he couldn't rely on his student status to play the emotional card. Instead, he had to show his value like an adult so that the other party would accept him.

"Professor Swan," Malfoy said, staring into Sebastian's eyes, word by word, "I want to follow you. I want to contribute to defeating the Dark Lord."

Looking at Malfoy's serious appearance, Sebastian smiled slightly and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As expected of the Malfoy family, they are all models of family first.

Lucius was willing to be a dangerous undercover agent for his wife and children. Draco was even more outstanding. Without anyone's persuasion, he took the initiative to enter the game, wanting to fight for a future for his family.

Moreover, it seemed that Draco hadn't discussed it with anyone and had made up his own mind. Otherwise, Lucius would definitely tell him the most truthful situation.

Sebastian could understand why Lucius was hiding it from his family. As the head of the family, as a man, Lucius just wanted to use his shoulders to support a sky for his family and take everything on himself.

Undercover work was a life-threatening job. Telling Draco and Narcissa would only cause them endless worries.

Secondly, their family lived under Old Voldemort's nose every day, and if they were not careful, the whole family would be hit with Avada Kedavra.

For safety reasons, only he himself knew this secret.

However, Lucius never imagined that Draco, who was still a child in his eyes, had quietly grown into a stalwart man and was beginning to actively seek a way out for his family.

"Draco," Sebastian comforted him gently, "It's enough that you have this intention. You don't have to worry about anything else. Your main task now is to study."

It was good that the young man had this intention, but Lucius was already working under him. It would be too outrageous to drag the other party's son into it.

"No, Professor, listen to me!" Malfoy had expected this result. After all, the Malfoy family was now on the Dark Lord's side, and it was normal for the other party not to trust him.

However, he didn't plan to give up easily. He began to carefully explain the family's predicament and then told Sebastian the reasons for doing so.

"Professor, judging from the current situation, it's only a matter of time before the Dark Lord fails. At that time, the Malfoy family will definitely fall into eternal doom."

"I don't want to see this future. My parents have protected me for more than ten years, and now I want to do something for them."

"I can become your secret agent and gather information about the Dark Lord for you."

"I'm serious," Malfoy said solemnly, "I've collected a lot of information about the Dark Lord this summer. You might as well listen to it first."
