Harry Potter: Glory Bows to Me

"Draco, are you worried that your father Lucius will choose Voldemort?"

Amanta asked suddenly.

These words hit Draco's heart. He looked at Amanta and Harry with confusion in his eyes.

He spoke heavily and bitterly.

"If father knew the news of the resurrection of the Dark Lord... the Malfoy family might stand on the side of the Dark Lord again, and I would definitely follow my father's choice..."

"As the heir to the Malfoy family, I must be Malfoy first, and then Draco."

Harry clutched his shoulders anxiously.

"So what? You can still be friends with us, right? We...we know you're not willing to do this."

Draco shook his head in disappointment, his eyes dim.

"Amanta, you are the descendant of Merlin who called on Slytherin to turn against the Dark Lord. Harry, you are the boy who survived. He will definitely find you and avenge what happened eleven years ago..."

"You are so close to me, the Dark Lord will definitely try to use me to attack you, or even threaten my family... I don't want my family, or you, to be harmed."

Amanta recalled that yesterday Voldemort did want Draco to find an opportunity to get rid of her in order to demonstrate Malfoy's loyalty.

No wonder Draco carries such heavy psychological baggage.

Amanta held Harry back: "Draco, I respect your choice."

Harry looked at Amanta in disbelief.

"Amanta, why are you..."

He had an expression of disbelief on his face, and Amanta shook her head at him.

"However, there is still a way out. Don't think too badly. How can you be sure that your father will choose Voldemort?"

Harry's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Amanta, I knew you had something to say!"

Amanta shook her head again: "Of course, I can't be sure, it's just a guess."

"Voldemort is still so weak that he doesn't even have a physical body and can only possess Quirrell. The Malfoy family will not make such an unwise choice."

Draco sighed, "But Father is always good at hedging his bets..."

She reached out her hand and placed it over the knuckles Draco was rubbing anxiously.

"Associating with Voldemort is the most dangerous. He has always been good at torturing and threatening others. Following Voldemort will only put the Malfoy family in danger."

"And Voldemort needs your power, your father's position in the Ministry of Magic, and your manor as a base, so he can only use power to intimidate you in order to achieve his goal."

"But he does not have such great power yet. I believe your father Lucius has his own plans."

She vaguely felt that Lucius would not choose Voldemort this time, at least not now.

There was another reason she didn't say.

Malfoy has always attached great importance to his family, and family is above all else.

In the original plot, in the sixth grade, Voldemort threatened Draco's parents, forcing Draco to try to murder Dumbledore again and again.

At this time, Draco had already begun to lose his yearning for Voldemort, so much so that he later failed to identify Harry in front of all the Death Eaters.

Draco's mother Narcissa made an unbreakable vow for Draco and concealed the fact that Harry was still alive from Voldemort in order to save her son, which indirectly led to Voldemort's ultimate defeat.

If it weren't for the help of the Draco family - of course they might have done all this for themselves and their families, but if not, Harry might not have been so lucky to survive the Battle of Hogwarts.

Before the Battle of Hogwarts, the Malfoy family temporarily changed sides and left the scene of the battle.

Everything they do is for their family, nothing is more important than family.

This time, Voldemort wanted to use Draco to threaten Lucius before he successfully reshaped his body. Because he hated Lucius' betrayal, he wanted to let his son taste the feeling of betrayal.

Draco was tortured by Voldemort and almost died...

Lucius obviously would not show his loyalty to Voldemort so easily. After all, Voldemort's current ability was not enough to scare them so much.

They only wanted to protect Draco, while Voldemort intended the exact opposite.

It seems that Professor Quirrell is too devout and fanatical, so Voldemort has not yet realized that he is not as powerful as he was decades ago.

"Amanta is right!"

Harry patted Draco's shoulder firmly.

"Voldemort is now nothing more than a monster that needs to parasitize something, a ball of soul. He can't even use a wand without Quirrell. Draco, if your Malfoy family chooses to be slaves to such a thing so easily - please don't let me look down on you!"

What the two said cheered up Draco a little, and the spirit on his face seemed to return a little.

"Maybe it's because my father was such a fanatical follower of Voldemort that I didn't realize it."

He sighed: "But let's wait until tomorrow morning to see my father's reply."

……

The next morning, Lucius's reply basically confirmed Amanta's guess.

Draco held the letter, joy spreading across his brows little by little.

Snape's potion took effect quickly. Apart from feeling a little weak today, he has almost recovered.

He handed it across the long table to Harry and Amanta.

- My dear little dragon:

- I heard everything from Sev. Thank Merlin for blessing my little dragon. If any problem occurs again, be sure to tell Sev in time. I got a few bottles of tonic potions. Remember to drink them on time.

- I feel deeply guilty that I failed as a father and that I did not protect you - and that I caused you harm.

-Narcissa is also worried about you. She cried all night and couldn't sleep yesterday. Remember to write back to us and tell me in detail about your current situation.

- Give my thanks to your good friends Amanta and Harry, especially Amanta, without her - (the ink smudges a little, and the fancy handwriting is a little distorted) I can't believe what would happen, he dared to hurt my son... (the handwriting is completely messy, and it can be seen that the writer is upset and does not continue writing)

- Your dear father, Lucius Malfoy

Although Lucius's letter did not directly state his position, his attitude spoke for itself.

Enclosed with the letter were several bottles of beautifully packaged potions, three small gift boxes, a large bag of snacks, and some magical fruits that they couldn't name.

Draco pushed the package on the table in front of Amanta and Harry, took out his quill and began to write a reply impatiently.
