Atonement of HP

"Lord." Orion brought his little daughter to the stage. Lucius and Voldmort were already waiting there. Orion bowed slightly to Voldmort and patted the hand holding his daughter. At this moment, He's just a father to a girl.

Voldmort was obviously very satisfied with Orion's attitude, and almost all the nobles came today, which showed Voldmort's current power in the wizarding world.

"Today we came here to witness the conclusion of the marriage contract of this married couple." Voldmort's magnetic voice sounded, Narcissa lowered her head shyly, Lucius pursed her lips tightly, not far from Sneh Pu's eyes were hollow black. "Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Black." Voldmort's voice continued, "Please take your wands."

Narcissa raised her wand first, the nails of Lucius' left hand dug deep into the flesh, his Sev was watching, watching him marry another man, Lucius just thought about it. Si felt a burning pain in his soul.

"Lucius..." Narcissa whispered, her originally rosy face was a little pale, she never imagined that the mixed race would have such a great influence on Lucius!

Lucius raised the staff slightly, feeling as if something was moving away from him.

"I, Lucius Malfoy, will marry Narcissa Black as the mistress of the Malfoy family." Lucius' oath was unexpectedly short. In fact, under the witness of Merlin, lying is simply not feasible, and " Mistress of the Malfoys" was all Lucius could promise.

Narcissa bit her lower lip and tried to restrain her tears. She knew that tomorrow all the ladies would laugh at her overreaching. Lucius' oath said it all. He married "Black" and never was "Narcissa".

"I, Narcissa Black, voluntarily marry Lucius Malfoy, and promise to take care of him, care about him, and uphold his dignity." Narcissa still said her vow, and she had figured it out in a few flashes , Lucius' promise now is not important, what matters is the future.

Sure enough, Lucius' eyes flashed, he was a smart Slytherin, but unfortunately... she would never be Sev.

Voldmort didn't seem to be aware that the would-be fiancée had fought secretly, maybe he noticed but didn't care, he was more concerned about "Malfoy" marrying "Black".

"Then, in the name of Merlin, the contract is established." Voldmort waved his yew wand, and the silver thread representing the contract began to appear on the wrists of Lucius and Narcissa.

It was just an extremely ordinary partner contract, and Narcissa was a little disappointed, but she couldn't help being happy when she thought that the contract would be concluded soon.

On the other side, Lucius' soul seemed to be pulled, and the conflict between "Lucius" and "Malfoy" almost tore him apart.He subconsciously looked at Snape.

Snape had remained silent since Lucius began to take the oath, and a dull pain far deeper than when he heard the news of Lily's marriage in the previous life seemed to come from his soul.He had to turn the ring desperately, but it was strange that the ring that usually comforted him was very silent today. "Lucius...Lucius..." Snape called silently in his heart, this was the last time, he said to himself, ignoring the curse, the magic pattern that hadn't changed for a long time began to bloom, and it was not familiar for a long time His comfort made Snape feel extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't help letting out a small cry of pain.

It was this cry of pain that even Regulus hadn't heard hit Lucius' ears like a thunderbolt. Almost immediately, "Lucius" overwhelmed "Malfoy" and took all Occupation rights.

Voldmort suddenly thought he was being attacked, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, the magic lines on Narcissa's hand began to disappear at an abnormal speed. In a place where no one could see, the magic lines covered by Lucius' snake-shaped bracelet began to bloom, in a way similar to Snape's. same speed.

The blood on Narcissa's face disappeared completely, and Orion also looked anxious, but Voldmort hadn't spoken yet, and he didn't dare to go up without authorization.

Lucius' face began to turn red slowly, and the pain just now turned into a gentle comfort; Snape's ring also seemed to be enlightened suddenly, and the familiar feeling spread continuously. In Snape's mind, in a trance, Snape seemed to hear Lucius calling himself - Sev with his familiar aria.

Quiet, absolutely quiet.Malfoy Manor fell into an eerie silence...

This is... the contract failed?Oh Merlin's beard!At this moment, Merlin was extremely busy in the hearts of the nobles present.The clever ones have already begun to calculate the reason for the failure of the contract.

The contractor's magical power is not enough... The nobles glanced at Voldmort, who didn't know the blood and magical power of this lord; the oath of the swearer was false, oh, the oath of Patriarch Malfoy has been simplified so much that it cannot be simplified anymore, there is no possibility of problems , unless... all those present could of course hear Narcissa's brave oath, and now the failure of the contract is more like satirizing the Black family's ulterior motives.For a moment, some quick-reacting eyes looked at Orion in the wrong way. This is a solo food that is going to swallow the Malfoy family!

Orion's face was ashen. He knew what his little daughter was thinking, so he made a judgment immediately. Lucius had a problem. Thinking about Abraxas's weird confession before his death, Orion wished to flog the corpse— ——The head of the Malfoy family who had been on his head all his life refused to let him be at peace even after death, he must have done something!

It has to be said that Orion, to some extent... the truth.

"Lord, please allow me to forgive my mistakes. I forgot that Mr. Malfoy is still underage. Abraxas told me that Malfoy has restrictions on his heirs, and he cannot sign a marriage contract before he is of age." Ryan quickly realized that he took a step forward and pleaded guilty to Voldmort.

Lucius seemed to have just realized it, and immediately knelt down: "Lord, please forgive my mistake!"

There is still something I don't understand now, a large area of ​​the garden knelt down, and since the head of the Black family has found the steps, who would not open his eyes to expose him.

Voldmort knew in his heart that the problem was with Lucius. He thought of his failed Dark Mark, but wondered if the Malfoy family really had any family protection that restricted contracts before they came of age.He suppressed the backlash caused by the failure of the contract—this time was different from the last time, the failure of signing and the failure of witnessing were not the same concept at all.The former is just an unsuccessful signing, while the latter is punished for failure.

"Lord, please go to the living room to rest first." Lucius's mind has never been clearer than it is now. It seems that the Black family has been offended, and now he can only grasp Voldmort's value.What Lucius gambled was that Voldmort could not let the Black family dominate, he needed the restraint of the Malfoy family.

Sure enough, Voldmort's satisfied light flashed in his eyes: "Since it was negligence, Orion."

"Yes, Lord."

"When Lucius comes of age, I will give you glory." Voldmort said this, knocking on the Black family, and at the same time implying that the matter was over.

Lucius quickly found the house elf, and after a few whispered instructions, he invited all the guests into the house and held a dance.

The nobles also winked and didn't mention the engagement just now, as if they were just here to attend an ordinary ball. There were even bold ladies who ignored the presence of the Black family and began to give Lucius a sneak peek, hoping to win the favor of the diamond king. Before Wu got married, Narcissa was pushed out of the top position.

Finally, this anticlimactic engagement banquet ended hastily. When the members of the Black family left, all of them were ashen-faced. Even though no one would say anything on the surface, in private, the Black family definitely surpassed the Prince family not long ago. , became the biggest laughing stock of the aristocracy.Think about it, the marriage contract signed between the nobles is just the most common partner contract, and the partner contract has failed!

Merlin's stinky socks that haven't been washed for several years!It has been hundreds of years since the failure of the marriage contract has happened in the wizarding world, and this time the Black family really got rid of the limelight.

"Cry, cry, cry! You just know how to cry! It's okay to change your oath!" Orion's temper finally broke out amidst Narcissa's constant crying after returning home.

"Okay, it's not about Sissi's business at all!" Walburga is not good-tempered, "Sissi discussed the content of the oath with me before, I checked it, and there is no problem."

Orion's face darkened: "Abrathas Malfoy." He almost gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let me know what you did."

Compared with the gloom of the Black family, Lucius is obviously in a much better mood.

Although the Malfoy family would be somewhat implicated due to the failure of the contract, the well-regulated oath caused a large number of nobles who did not know the truth to side with him, thinking that he was "implicated" by Narcissa.The cunning Lucius also followed suit, pretending to be loyal to Voldmort's arrangements.

After everyone had left, Lucius took off the snake-shaped bracelet on his left wrist. The bracelet was an alchemy product passed down from the Malfoy family. After being a super wizard, he turned the bracelet out.

The magic pattern of the contract, which I hadn't seen for a long time, reappeared. What stunned Lucius was that the rose that was about to bloom on the magic pattern had almost fully opened at some point.Lucius frowned and recalled the scene when he signed the contract with Sif, it seemed easy.

Lucius looked thoughtfully at the magic pattern on his wrist, what kind of contract did his father prepare?Maybe I should look through the library of Malfoy's house, or should I go to see my father's portrait?Although Abraxas's portrait has been strangely blank since his death, and recently even the corpse has disappeared.

Lucius rubbed his temples wearily, feeling that this series of events was going to drive him crazy.Looking at the mountain-like engagement gifts, Lucius had no choice but to comfort himself in disguise, as if it was Christmas again.While the house elf was carrying it, a dark green square box fell out.Lucius picked it up and took it apart by accident.

There is no card, no signature, and it is so clean that it does not look like a gift for blessing and engagement.In fact, it is not, Lucius smiled wryly at the familiar double-sided mirror lying in the box.He picked it up, thinking that the owner of the mirror had put it in his hand like this a few days ago.

After a long time, Lucius put his side in which had been severely worn out, and got a piece of parchment to wrap the box again.

So, when Snape returned to Spider's End, he saw a strange owl prowling near his house, but he couldn't do it because of the unbreakable spell.For some unknown reason, Snape accepted the package brought by the strange owl.

Entering Spider's End, Snape felt very tired.He lazily opened the box. Inside, there was a familiar double-sided mirror lying in it, which seemed to remind Snape of everything that happened today.

Snape looked into the silent mirror as if looking at some rare potion ingredient.After a long time, he picked up the mirror, and a piece of elegant parchment fell out, with a line of words "Take care of yourself" (Take care of yourself) written on it in Snape's familiar cursive script.
