Atonement of HP

The news of the failure of the engagement between the Malfoy family and the Black family quickly spread in the wizarding world. Although everyone did not say anything on the public face, but privately, gossip was definitely flying all over the sky.

Lucius took the opportunity to reduce the social gatherings and dances at Malfoy's house. The obvious reason was "because of physical discomfort". Si plunged into the family library. He remembered that when he signed the contract with Seaver last time, his father held a thick book in his hand, and there seemed to be a Malfoy family crest on it.The magic pattern on his hand is really weird, this time he has to figure out what it is no matter what!

In addition, the unexpected disappearance of Abraxas' body also made Lucius very anxious. Although he vaguely felt that his father might not be dead, the blank portrait and the gray name on the family tapestry were completely contradictory. He couldn't explain the conclusion.It is precisely because of this that the disappearance of Abraxas' body did not make Lucius fidget in panic. Who knows if his father buried something behind him.It's not that Lucius doesn't care about his father, it's just that the Malfoy family is in a very dangerous position now, and as the head of the family, Lucius should consider the interests of the family most now!

Unlike Lucius who took advantage of it openly and secretly, Snape lived a peaceful and fulfilling life in Spider's End.

On the one hand, the fact that Lucius was not engaged to Narcissa made Snape somewhat relieved, which meant that "fate" was not static.If Lucius wasn't on the cusp right now, Snape would have contacted him directly.Speaking of connection, Snape couldn't help but think of the double-sided mirror that Lucius sent - the wear and tear on the pattern behind the mirror clearly showed the fact that its owner often played with it, and the parchment seemed to say that There was so much on Lucius' mind that he hadn't been able to say since Snape's hug in fourth year.

Snape may be emotionally slow, but that doesn't mean he ignores emotional changes in people he cares about.Maybe as long as Lucius hasn't got someone's mark, then he can let himself secretly demand Lucius' attention in his heart.Sometimes Snape also wondered, did he owe the Malfoy family so much in the last life that he had to use himself to make up for it in this life?Thinking of Abraxas in this life, thinking of Lucius, thinking of the little dragon who straightened his back in front of the tombstone of the last life, Snape bit his lip. He swore with his soul that he would never betray Lucius, protect him, Help him.If this was Merlin's reminder to pay off his debt, Snape had no regrets.

The completely different reactions between Lucius and Snape actually stemmed from some deviations in common sense between the two, which is why Lucius went directly to the library after the marriage contract failed, while Snape didn't understand at all— He also only thought that the Malfoy family really had the protection of the marriage contract.

As a double agent who wandered between black and white in his previous life and was a bachelor until his death, Snape never had the opportunity to come into contact with such things as a marriage contract, let alone have any in-depth understanding. Compared with a marriage contract, Snape Pu understands what an unbreakable spell is.

It was precisely because of this state of "ignorance" that Snape lost the opportunity to know the truth in advance, and gave him and Lucius a real chance in the future.

------------------ I am the dividing line between Snape and Lucius's very different reactions -----------

Regardless of the reactions of Snape and Lucius, everyone in the Black family was clouded.

Needless to say, Orion and Walburga, the marriage contract that has never failed in the wizarding world for hundreds of years has failed!This in itself is already a great shame, not to mention that the Black family is still dumb and eats yellow lotus-it's hard to tell!

As Orion, after he returned, he put the memory of the day Abraxas died in the pensieve, and took his wife to watch it repeatedly.The nobleman's intuition told Orion that Abraxas might have done something before his death to prevent Lucius' marriage with his family.But he read the memory several times over and over again, except for Abraxas who has been emphasizing "family first" with Lucius, there is nothing out of the circle!And even if he emphasizes the supremacy of the family, there is no problem - just look at Lucius' oath at the engagement ceremony, how thoroughly he implemented Abraxas' words.From the very beginning, Orion was very clear about the purpose of Lucius' proposal to his family. As the head of the Black family, he certainly loved his children, but in the face of the family's interests, children had to be sidelined!

In fact, it's not that he doesn't know what's on Sissi's mind. It's not bad to satisfy the wish of the youngest daughter on the premise of satisfying the family's interests, but the problem now lies in Narcissa's "willingness".If it wasn't for Narcissa's "willingness" to change the oath of the marriage contract without authorization-Of course Orion believed that his youngest daughter was really sincere when making the oath, but those nobles only saw the final result.

The marriage contract failed... The witnesses have strong magic power and pure blood... The head of the Malfoy family is well-behaved... The young lady of the Black family has found a different way... Then, the reason for the failure of the marriage contract is that any idiot can know.

But a few people who vaguely guessed the truth either felt that it was unnecessary to say it, such as Voldmort;

But the question is what will happen to the wedding banquet when Lucius becomes an adult?Of course, Orion knew that the reason he broke up at the time was completely false. If the marriage contract fails again at the official wedding, the Black family will lose face... Based on the impression of the engagement ceremony, people will only say that Mal How unfortunate the Fu family's boy is, and no one would think that the Black family is really innocent.

Orion and Walburga decided to hold back for the time being, but that didn't mean the rest of the Black family thought the same way.

Bella, who had always been paranoid towards her family, secretly hated Lucius to death, but because she and Lucius were also loyal to the great Lord at the same time, she couldn't break out, so the anger turned to Snape.

That day, Bella was going to accompany Narcissa to comfort her poor little sister, but unexpectedly, she heard a shocking news: her future brother-in-law, the pride of the pure-blooded nobles, and the heir of the Malfoy family, fell in love with Narcissa. A Slytherin half-breed!So what if this half-breed has a rare potion talent?A mixed blood is still a mixed blood, and the great Lord said, "Pure blood is supreme"!

Her younger sister from an ancient pure-blood family was actually compared to a half-blood, and Bella's anger towards Lucius obviously had a breakthrough.Severus Snape, Bella's eyes rolled, it seemed that Miss Prince had a certain relationship with him!

Bellatrix Black, a standard Slytherin viper, especially since she comes from a family of dark magic, in fact, Bella is definitely smart enough when it comes to issues that don't involve Voldmort, she has always been a qualified Slytherin.And a qualified Slytherin knows how to make reasonable use of all conditions, hide behind the scenes, and hit a hit.

Just when Orion was about to endure and Bella was about to take revenge, Narcissa was unprecedentedly calm.

In fact, after she cried that day, she had already released all her emotions.Combining what she felt from Lucius and the Snape described by Regulus to herself, Narcissa realized earlier than everyone else that the relationship between Lucius and Snape was never what they wanted. Just for fun.Snape's intentions were unknown, but Lucius was probably really sinking.

Narcissa closed her eyes, opened them again, her nails pierced her palms, so what?What everyone expects is probably the combination of "Malfoy" and "Black". From this point of view, Lucius, like her, has no choice!

This joke from the British wizarding community spread to Germany almost at the same time. Based on the idea that "UK is Dumbledore's territory, Dumbledore made it difficult for us, and we will make it difficult for Dumbledore." They made their king feel that Britain was in chaos and that Dumbledore was bad news, and they were not hesitant to share it with their king.This is especially true when this new news is related to a "new tenant" in their king's bedroom.

Since Abraxas was "sent" into Nurmengard, Gellert really struggled with how to place him.

According to the agreement, Gellert cannot leave Nurmengard now, and Gellert's order to take Abraxas away was turned on deaf ears by the saints.It is said that the upper echelons of the saints have reached an agreement on this matter. Although Abraxas has passed away, being sealed in a crystal coffin will not damage his beauty. Come out, then at the very least, he must correct his own king's weird aesthetics.The saints thought of the most stupid way-comparison, they didn't believe it, let their king get used to the appearance of Abraxas, and then appreciate a crazy old man with white beard!

Gellert could only accept the "good intentions" of the saints after the initial discomfort. He also understood that the Malfoy family was not so easy-going. Last time, no one thought that anyone would be so bold as to touch the Malfoy family. The cemetery, if I go again this time, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to "return".

Anyway, he is the Dark Lord, so it doesn't matter if there is a coffin in the room, Gellert thought irresponsibly, and finally he erected the crystal coffin and placed it by the wall.

It has to be said that Abrathas Malfoy is known as the number one handsome man in the British wizarding world. He definitely has his own capital.In the crystal clear crystal coffin, Abraxas seemed to just close his eyes and "stand" there quietly.Gellert was very curious about this "decoration" for a few days, and then gradually developed the habit of "talking" to Abraxas through the crystal coffin.

He first talked about things in England, his observations about Snape, and his speculation about Lucius' purpose. Then he started talking about the saints, talking about the stories between himself and Dumbledore... those who once lived in Gellert The things that have left a mark on my heart are "shared" one by one.

Who said that the reason why memory does not fade is because it only belongs to the memory itself.And once shared, it loses its mystery.

Gellert is like this now, in another time, in another place, or even in another situation, all the things that Gellert would never have said in his life would be said like beans in a bamboo tube.

By the time the saints spread the news of the failed engagement of the Malfoy family to Nurmengard, Gellert had already established a strange "friendship" with Abrathas. During the process of paying attention to the Malfoy family, Gellert seemed to be able to I saw the footsteps of the sleeping man in the crystal coffin.

"Abraxas, what did you do?" Gellert walked up to Abraxas and spoke thoughtfully, waving away the saints who came to report. He looked thoughtfully at the handsome man in the crystal coffin. "Oh, I'll always guess it. Don't try to hide it from me." He approached with a smug look.

After hesitating for a long time, Gellert still bent his hand on Abraxas' face through the crystal coffin. He had wanted to do this for a long time, and Gellert rarely felt that he was offending.

"Huh?" The moment Gellert put his hand on the surface of the crystal coffin, he noticed something unusual. The crystal under his hand seemed to have some faint fluctuations in magic power.Gellert looked at Abrathas' handsome and serene face complicatedly, maybe his "friend" was really just sleeping.So why?
