Atonement of HP

Chapter 52 Negotiations

The atmosphere in the principal's room was a little dignified. No one spoke for a while after Lucius sat down. Orion was absent-minded, and Dumbledore didn't know how to speak.Finally it was Voldmort who spoke. "Lucius, why are you in Hogsmeade?"

Voldmort's question obviously attracted everyone's attention. Since the result could no longer be changed, it was the consensus of both parties to figure out what happened and profit from it.

Lucius didn't hide it either. In fact, Lucius had already thought about it when he just changed his clothes. Before Sev's awakening was completed, he had better make up for his mistakes, especially since he didn't have no cards to play now.Getting recognition from both parties is the first step, and gaining trust of varying degrees is the second step.

Therefore, Lucius barely hides when answering this question. Slytherin understands that if you want to be trusted, you must first give something.

"I am the guarantor of Sev's apprenticeship contract." Lucius' first words surprised several people, even though Dumbledore knew that the Malfoy family had made a guaranty, but Lucius was the guarantor. It must be said that no one thought of it.

"The guaranty of the apprentice contract requires powerful magic power or blood, and I made the guaranty with my own blood." Lucius said lightly, causing huge waves in Orion's heart, and no one understood better than him The Malfoy family attached great importance to blood, and at the same time, Orion couldn't help but wonder why Abraxas would agree with Lucius's approach?

"That night, the magic lines on my body gave me a warning, which means that the mentor has violated the contract." Lucius took great effort to control his tone, Horace Slughorn, hurting a Malfoy, He will pay the price after all, "Through the double-sided mirror, I learned the location of Sif, and I heard the cry of the werewolf."

"Merlin! Werewolf!" Orion exclaimed. There were several students in Black's house, and the only ones who left the Shrieking Shack that day were Little Potter, Sirius and Lupine. Who was the werewolf? And metaphor.

Even Voldmort looked at Dumbledore with incredulous eyes. Although he admired pure blood, he really didn't plan to "clean" Hogwarts. For the first time he was admitted that he was not a monster's home, Voldmort had a very good idea. No matter how you look at it, it is very strange that the white wizard who is the principal put a werewolf in the school.

Facing Voldmort's up and down eyes, Dumbledore couldn't help but blush, he didn't expect Lucius to put this question directly on the table, let alone the head of the Malfoy family put on an "undead and endless" attitude situation.

Lucius didn't pay any attention to the reaction of the people below, and continued his narrative: "I rushed to the Shrieking Shack just in time to see the werewolf about to bite my partner's neck off." Even thinking about it now, Lucius can still feel To that overwhelming fear. "I pushed him away and the werewolf bit me..."

"Merlin!" Orion called Merlin as many times as he had in a few days today.

"But it's a pity that my bloodline was awakened at that time. The wolfbane of a low-level werewolf can't stand the baptism of the ancient Veela bloodline." At the end, Lucius' tone was full of sarcasm. It wasn't that Sif was his soul mate, or that he was protecting his Sif, or that it wasn't the special circumstances of the Malfoy family... as long as there was the slightest error in any of the above, he would be Lucius the werewolf Malfoy now. Blessed.

Although Lucius doesn't mind becoming a werewolf for Sif, and even Lucius is confident that even if he really becomes a werewolf, his Sif will desperately come up with the wolf poison antidote, but this is not the case. On behalf of Lucius, he would not attack Dumbledore who allowed this situation to happen. Even if Dumbledore was not the only one who pushed the whole thing, Lucius knew that he could only solve one point at present.

"Oh, my child, this is really Merlin's favor!" Dumbledore laughed dryly, what could he say, all his pigtails were caught in the hands of others.

Voldmort sensitively got the message of goodwill from Lucius' narration, whether it was intentional or not, Lucius didn't mention anyone else at all, even Slughorn.His point of contradiction is focused on the werewolf, in other words, Lucius' target is Dumbledore.

After figuring this out, Voldmort admired Lucius even more, even though he had never called himself "Lord" from just now, judging from his performance, the Malfoys were still on his side.

"No, if it weren't for Merlin's favor, I'm afraid I can only mourn my partner in the cemetery of the Malfoy family now, Dumbledore. Principal. Principal!" Lucius emphasized the word "principal".

Dumbledore's eyes rolled quickly, "Oh, little Mr. Malfoy, maybe you would like some honey water, the narration just now must have made you feel very thirsty..." Dumbledore interrupted, thinking quickly in his mind Countermeasures.

Lucius was also patient, he even straightened his robe gracefully, his long platinum hair trembling slightly behind him.

"Principal Dumbledore, I hope you can give a reasonable explanation. Hogwarts should be the cradle of young wizards. It is extremely dangerous to put a werewolf in a child." Voldmort added fire to the side, and he Orion behind him wanted to speak but was stopped by him. Now he doesn't need anyone who might disrupt the situation.

"Oh, Tom, you have to be kind, how poor Lupine is, BLABLABLA..." Dumbledore began to talk in detail about Lupine's sadness when he was forced to become a werewolf.

Lucius and Voldmort didn't urge him either, they both understood that Dumbledore was thinking the same way, but in negotiations, one party has to offer a bargaining chip so that the other party can bargain.

Finally Dumbledore finished speaking, and the last sentence was the key point, "Mr. Malfoy, perhaps, should thank Lupine, if it wasn't for him, I'm afraid..." He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present understood.

Shameless... This is the voice of everyone present. Dumbledore has always been good at this. As long as no one is killed, he will always let it go as a "children's joke".

Lucius immediately realized that playing Tai Chi with an old fox of Dumbledore's level would not please him, and while Voldmort was here, he had better put his terms on the table.

"My request is very simple. First, Lupine withdraws from school; second, James Potter, Sirius and Lupine publicly apologize to my partner; third, immediately issue the graduation certificate to my partner, Sever Graduated; finally, I'm requesting the addition of Assistant Headmasters, given that... oh, our great 'White Wizard' is out of two?"

Lucius's demands became more and more ruthless, and in the end he almost publicly asked to release someone from Dumbledore's side. The smile on Voldmort's face deepened, and he decided to trust the Malfoy family more in the future.Dumbledore finally stopped laughing. If he really agreed to all of them, it would be a huge blow to his prestige and the future of the Order of the Phoenix.

"Little Mr. Malfoy, you seem to be a bit overbearing? Think about poor Lupine, he has to endure inhuman pain every month, and Sirius and Potter, if it weren't for them, Severus wouldn't be able to survive." Your arrival, coupled with the awakening of your bloodline, is safe and sound after all, it’s just a kid’s joke, I can deduct 200 points from Gryffindor as an example.” Dumbledore planned to Erase the matter, as for the last item, he didn't mention it.

Lucius had long been mentally prepared for Dumbledore's Tai Chi hand, "I don't care if Lupine is pitiful or not, but it is a fact that he almost killed my partner. He must pay the price for hurting a Malfoy. This is my responsibility." Bottom line."

"Oh, little Mr. Malfoy, you and Severus just signed the marriage contract, and you haven't waited for the Ministry of Magic's certificate, so it seems that Severus is not a Malfoy yet." Dumbledore said to him loopholes.

Lucius suddenly laughed, an ancient veela's smile was full of temptation, even formidable as Voldmort and Dumbledore would lose their minds for a moment, but unlike modern low veela's mental temptation, Lucius' ability It's more like attracting the other party to agree with his words from the soul. "It seems that Principal Dumbledore doesn't know that when a pair of soulmates sign a contract, their contract will automatically appear in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. Let me introduce you again. My partner's full name is' Severus Snape Prince Malfoy'."

"Prince?" Dumbledore's beard twitched, Orion's eyes flashed, Voldmort still looked like an aristocrat.

"Yes, Sif has awakened the blood of the dark elves. According to the records of the Malfoy family, the blood of the British wizarding world is inherited from the Prince family. In fact, at the moment we became soul mates, Sif's full name, I I know." Lucius didn't say what he said later, the wizard's name is indeed magical, and they are engraved on the wizard's soul.However, in view of the presence of an adult who hated his name deeply, Lucius rationally did not say it.

"Oh, this is really... this is really..." Dumbledore's rare words are at a loss, think about it, he is like someone looking for a golden mountain with a golden mountain in his arms, the most frustrating thing is when he finds himself When holding a golden mountain, this golden mountain is already in someone else's arms.

"Principal, no one will pay a price for hurting a Malfoy." Lucius emphasized the second time, his eyes seemed to glance over Orion inadvertently.

"Dumbledore," interrupted Voldmort, "if you insist on keeping the werewolf, I don't think I would mind writing to the Wizengamot." Voldmort wanted to see how far Lucius could go.

For a long time, Dumbledore didn't speak, "Lupine can drop out, James and Sirius can also apologize, I'm afraid Severus can't just graduate like this?" He can't let Snape leave like this, if he does now Wouldn't all contact with the Order of the Phoenix be severed if he left?Avoiding the important ones, Dumbledore still didn't mention the last one.

"I'm adamant that my partner go, given that I don't trust you to keep him safe." Lucius was adamant about this, "unless you agree to an assistant."

Silence, silence again, Dumbledore once again overturned the judgment of the young Malfoy Patriarch. When he first raised the four points, Dumbledore only thought he was out for revenge, but looking at it now, the last one is the only one. is his main purpose.

Unlike Dumbledore's silence, Voldmort was extremely satisfied, hiding his purpose layer by layer, diverting the opponent's attention, and the final blow must hit, standard Slytherin.

Orion's mind was much more complicated. Lucius' growth exceeded his expectations. Now coupled with his impressive strength, Orion was like a person who entered the treasure mountain and came out empty-handed.

Dumbledore took off his eyes tiredly and pinched the bridge of his nose, but Lucius hit him on his weak spot. Whether it was Malfoy or Prince, Dumbledore could not let Snape leave like this. "Oh, old people are a little mentally ill." Dumbledore took back his glasses, showing the fatigue of an old man at the right time, "If Mr. Malfoy is a proposal as a school director, then as long as the board of directors approves..." Deng Bullido didn't finish his sentence, this was already a great concession, after all, almost all of the board of directors were pure-blooded Slytherin nobles.

"Then, I won't insist on Sev leaving immediately." Lucius accepted it as soon as he saw it.

"It seems that there is no need for me anymore." Voldmort was very satisfied with what he saw today, "Thank you for your invitation, Dumbledore, maybe Lucius would not mind giving me a gift?"

"Oh, Tom, of course it's no problem. Maybe Lucius needs to live at Hogwarts these days? Since it's not convenient for Severus to move at the moment." Dumbledore quickly walked out of the frustration just now, he was The greatest White Wizard, he will always find a way.

"My honor." Lucius saluted gracefully, followed Voldmort out, and Dumbledore poured down the whole glass of honey water tiredly behind him.

"Mr. Voldmort, please." Lucius walked a little behind Voldmort, and Orion was still a little away from them.

"Lucius, when you hold your wedding, the Dark Lord will bestow upon you the honor of witnessing." Voldmort's words were tantamount to acknowledging the marriage between the Malfoy family and Snape.

"Yes, mylord." Lucius said in a low voice, "I'm afraid I still need your help with Sev."

"Oh? Isn't your little partner awakening the bloodline?" If given the chance, Voldmort certainly wouldn't give up a chance to sell well.

"Yes, but he may need some extra help." Lucius also guessed that the connection between soul mates made him feel that Sif was different from when he was awakened.

Voldmort nodded, and suddenly asked, "Lucius, what if Dumbledore keeps Snape at Hogwarts?"

"Lord, you forgot, you can graduate if you pass the OWLS exam in the fifth grade." Of course, Lucius would not let his Sif stay here for a long time. Understand.

Voldmort almost sighed as he watched Lucius leave, and for the first time in his heart he began to be a little wary of this young Patriarch—Xu's blood was awakened, he had a good family background, he was thoughtful, and he was good at dancing.However, the Dark Lord is never afraid of a challenge, but... the balance must be balanced. "Orion," he said to the disgraced head of the Black family today, "Lucius and Narcissa's marriage is cancelled. As compensation, the Dark Lord will personally teach your heir. When this semester is over, bring Regulus Voldmort Manor, the Dark Lord will honor him."

Orion, who was hit twice by Alford, was revived instantly after hearing Voldmort's words, "Yes, mylord." Sissy is important, but Regulus is more important.
