Chapter 44 The Malfoy Family

"How can you be so stupid." Draco stepped forward to help, dumbfounded. It took a while for Jemini to finally feel better. The two of them walked upstairs slowly like prisoners about to go to the execution ground. At the door of the study, Draco gently pushed open the half-hidden door and walked in.

Lucius straightened his back, he always looked like a perfect gentleman, sitting gracefully on the chair, the Malfoy family's iconic blue eyes stared at Draco who came in.

"Dad." Draco called softly.

"Sit down first, let's talk slowly." Lucius motioned to Draco.

Draco sat in the armchair next to the desk, and Jemini jumped of course into his lap.

"How are you going to the Muggle world these days?" Lucius chose a more relaxed beginning, and he asked his son with a pleasant face.

"Very good, Dad, they are completely different from what we wizards imagined. With advanced technology, you can buy things from all over the world on the street. As long as you have money, you can live comfortably like a king. Their service Combined with technology, it is not inferior to the elves."

"I've always known that Muggles are unparalleled in their creativity, and of course in their destructive power," Lucius lamented.

"I don't understand, Dad. Many people in the wizarding world have always looked down on Muggles, and some even want to protect Muggles, but when I went to Muggles this time, I felt that their lives were not inferior to ours, and Dad. "Draco was hesitant to speak, and he finally made up his mind to ask the question in his heart, "Dad, we have been to the White House, which is the palace of the Queen of England. Jemini told me that our Malfoy family Actually not," Draco swallowed hard before he could continue, "We are not nobles, are we?"

Jemini felt Lucius' eyes glance at him, and he tried hard to bury his head in his stomach, shrinking himself into a ball.

"It's true that we are nobles, Xiaolong." Lucius said lightly: "Our ancestors came to England with Emperor William the Great. At that time, it was still called Great Britain. Our ancestors provided King William with countless gifts. Effective help," Lucius pronounced the word "effective," and it seems that these help are not very honorable magic, "so he gave us the status and fiefdom of the Malfoy family nobles, and our Malfoy family is already here. It's been a fief for centuries, Draco."

"Sorry, Dad, I shouldn't have suspected that."

"It's okay, there's a lot of real history that's been buried over the centuries, and this is just one of them."

Draco looked at his father in confusion, and asked, "Is it like the fact that the Malfoy family hates Muggles?"

"The Malfoy family never hated Muggles, because Muggles brought our family wealth."

"What?!" Draco looked at Lucius in surprise.

"Otherwise, do you think that there are only a few thousand wizards in the UK, how could they provide our family with such a huge wealth? Before the enactment of the Secrecy Act, the Malfoy family has always been the darling of the Muggle upper class. We can wantonly annex the Muggle land and Their precious treasure, the Malfoy family can last forever when the rulers of Britain change several times."

"Draco, this is what the Malfoy family is proud of. Our family's history is even longer than the current British royal family."

Draco was speechless in astonishment. He always knew that his family had a long history and a rich family background, but he had never heard the specifics from his parents.

"I don't know, Dad, you never told me that."

"That's where I thought you were young, Draco, but now that you're old enough to be on your own, you even went off to the Muggles without telling me and your mother."

"Oh, don't talk about him anymore, Dad, I'm really sorry, I will definitely tell you in the future." Draco said annoyedly: "But Dad, since our Malfoy family doesn't hate Muggles, why are you talking about Muggles?" Those Muggle-born wizards and half-blood wizards are so disgusted?"

"This is thanks to the wizards who promulgated the secrecy law back then. The Malfoy family has flourished again in the Muggle world, but our roots are still in the wizarding world, so we have to express our gratitude to those in power at that time. I hate Muggles as much as he does, and cut off all ties between us and Muggles, this is the law of survival, and we sometimes have to give up something when we get something."

"The most important thing is that we only interacted with the Muggle authorities and wealthy nobles. As for the commoners, we never had contact with them. The ridiculous thing is that the wizards who were killed at that time were all people who had close contacts with the commoners. And they are the ones who support the enactment of the Secrecy Act." Lucius spoke ironically about the secrets of the wizarding world centuries ago. "Until now, it's ridiculous that those wizards who have never changed their minds still want to promulgate some Muggle protection laws."

"Muggle protection law? Dad, I met a man named Sherlock Holmes in a Muggle place. He easily saw that I was a wizard. Will this cause you trouble?"

"It's okay, Draco, I've heard of this Mr. Holmes, and I happen to know his brother. We've worked together before. You don't have to worry about that."

"Although we cut off contact with Muggles after the Statute of Secrecy was promulgated, our family still pays close attention to the changes in the Muggle world. It wasn't until more than ten years ago when the wizarding world fell into turmoil that our family expressed its support for the Muggles. The disgust of Muggles and half-bloods. However, the changes in Muggles in the past few decades can be described as earth-shaking, and the wizarding world simply cannot adapt, so our Malfoy family has reconnected with them in recent years."

"Is it Voldemort who caused the turmoil more than ten years ago?" Jemini finally couldn't help asking. "Is it because Voldemort hates Muggles and half-bloods, so that all the pure-blood wizards related to him express their hatred of Muggles and half-blood wizards?"

Lucius paused. He turned his eyes to Jemini who was speaking, and after a long silence, he finally said, "That's right."

Draco frowned. The conversation with Lucius tonight almost subverted his outlook on life in the past ten years. Many things he took for granted turned out to be what he took for granted, which made Draco depressed. A little dazed.

"It's nothing Draco, isn't it, you just need to live as before." Jemini tried to comfort Draco, but Draco was still very disappointed, he covered himself in the quilt, " Jamie, just leave me alone."

"Okay." Jemini looked at Draco who was wrapping himself into a ball, and kept quiet with a rare empathy. He lay beside Draco's pillow and fell asleep curled up in a ball.

Draco recovered well the next day. Although he still looked dazed sometimes, no one knew what he was thinking. Although Narcissa wanted to enlighten her son, Lucius stopped her Wife, he felt that this should make Xiaolong grow up a lot.

Jamie accompanied Draco back and forth every day, and he even suggested that they could go to the amusement park to continue the journey that was interrupted last time, but Draco said that he wanted to be with his friends next time. Let's go together.

"Draco, Ron is writing." Jamie looked out the window at a disheveled owl flying towards Malfoy Manor. Jamie always felt that the Weasleys had been using Looking at this owl who has already passed the age of layoff is really cruel.

"Boom!" The poor owl seemed to be blinded by old eyes, and it hit the window glass directly, which looked really painful.

Draco went to open the window, the owl struggled to fly back, and Draco untied a letter from his feet.

It flew to the simulated tree branch in Draco's room that provided rest for birds, squinted its eyes and dozed off, and the long flight almost exhausted all its strength.

"It was from Harry, so why didn't he let Hedwig send it?" Draco frowned, and when he saw the contents of the letter, Draco's brows tightened, "Harry's family The melon relatives actually locked Harry in the room, and Ron drove a speeding car to rescue him and take him to his home, oh my god, what did I miss?"

"That sounds really interesting," Jemini remarked.

"I think we have to make an appointment to get together." Draco took out a paper and a pen to write a reply. At this time, the golden eagle also flew in from the outside, and it landed directly on the branch of the tree, where it was already sleeping. The sleeping owl woke up in fright, fluttered its wings twice, and when it saw the golden eagle next to it, it buried its head and fell asleep again. Maybe it had lived too long, and it had seen too many strong winds and waves. Fear of the golden eagles around.

"What day is today, and another letter?" Draco reached out to remove the letter tied around the golden eagle's foot, and said, "If this is Pansy complaining about her annoying cousin at home, next time we meet I will definitely have a good talk with her about life sometime, oh, it turns out it is the Hogwarts book list for this semester."

Draco unfolded the letter in his hand, and said incredulously: "Why is this year's book almost all about Lockhart's grandstanding clown?!"

"Maybe it's because he will be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts this year." Jemini reminded, "You must know that your Professor Quirrell from last year has died in Harry's hands."

"Don't be so disgusting, Jemini, this is really good, I don't have any hope for this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts, why didn't I just be tougher and read Durmstrang? .”

"But it's just right, let's meet at Diagon Alley on Wednesday, it happens that Dad is going to Knockturn Alley that day, and we can hitch a ride." Draco wrote back.
