HP's Platinum Temptation

The best bedtime 'dessert' ever and Clarence enjoyed an unbelievably restful night's sleep.Of course, this good sleep would be even more perfect without a wake activated by a barking dog.

Clarence somewhat regretted why the vigilance and protection spells he had prepared were one-way.

"He was clamoring to see you early in the morning, so I had to show him the way." Lucius, who got up early, looked pretty good.If one ignored the smug look in Lucius' eyes, Clarence would really believe that Lucius just kindly sent Sirius to his door.

"Even if I didn't answer your question last night, you wouldn't take revenge on me like this!" Clarence stood helplessly at the door and stretched.

"Retaliation? Do I have it?" Lucius raised his chin and decisively denied the testimony.

"You are so cute, Lucius." Clarence gave a slightly doting smile, but he quickly put away his momentary loose emotion.The calm eyes turned to the man who had turned back into a human body after Clarence got up: "I think I need a room where I can talk to Mr. Black alone."

Lucius raised his eyebrows in surprise, but didn't ask any questions.After recruiting a house elf to whisper a few words, let him lead the way.He nodded to Clarence and headed towards the study.

"Let's go, Mr. Black." Clarence invited Sirius who was obviously calmer than the night before.

The venue Lucius offered was a living room that wasn't used very often.The house elves brought Clarence and Sirius here, and after serving tea and snacks, they disappeared in a sense of humor.Clarence swung his wand and cast his anti-monitoring spell.

"I heard that you and Malfoy are in a cooperative relationship, but it seems that you don't trust him very much." Sirius, who didn't have a wand, watched Clarence's movements and said a slightly mocking remark.

"Cooperation is cooperation, and secrets are secrets. Sometimes secrets and trust are not necessarily related, but you are right that we have not reached absolute mutual trust." Clarence put away his wand and sat down, holding his own black tea : "Drinking tea? Ah, no." Clarence glanced at the two different teapots and raised his eyebrows: "I just remembered that yours is milk. I'm asking Lucius to tell the house-elf to give You prepared it. Since you are still recovering, tea is not suitable for you."

Sirius' mistrust showed on his face, but he poured himself a glass of milk anyway and said a soft thank you.

"You are amazing. You actually ran from Azkaban to Malfoy Manor by yourself." Clarence praised sincerely: "I was prepared to go out to find you."

"How can you be sure that I will definitely come? Even if you know that I will be Armanigus, you may not be able to find me." Sirius put the milk cup to his mouth and said this in a soft tone. In the middle, he just raised his eyelids and glanced at Clarence.

"Well, I think Narcissa must have told you about me last night." Clarence didn't respond, but just started another topic: "How much do you know about me?"

"Henry Winter, the advisor of the Violet Alliance on the surface, the actual leader behind the scenes. He comes from the Lambert family, but his exact identity is unknown. The Lambert family is a big nobleman in the Muggle world, and they also have a lot of power in the Muggle world. Great power. The content of cooperation with the Malfoy family is to eliminate the Dark Lord. Knows a lot of information that others don't know, and has a good relationship with goblins. Its own strength is unknown, and the most commonly used spells are unknown languages. Doubt He has mastered the ancient rune spells. At the same time, he has a strong hand-to-hand combat ability, and can fight with unarmed corpses." Sirius simply said what he knew like an endorsement: "Some of them are my own in Az. Caban learned about it from the newspaper, and Narcissa told me the rest."

"Your cousin is still very close to you, and she just told all the information that can be said in one night." Clarence sighed.

Sirius didn't comment on Clarence's words, but just sipped his drink in silence.

"Are you aware of your current situation?" Clarence asked again.

"He was rescued from Azkaban and declared dead to the outside world, black household." It was also concise and to the point.

"Actually, you don't have to be so hostile and guarded against me." Clarence looked at the calm Sirius, and complained, "Didn't we get along before? There is no need to treat you to Slater." Lin's hostility should also be directed at me."

"It's not a good person to work with Slytherin." Sirius snorted.

"I really can't agree with you," Clarence responded.

"Only Slytherin can cooperate with Slytherin." Sirius said firmly.

"Well, not to mention that the Lambert family is a Hufflepuff family. The key point is that I don't agree with dividing all wizards into four types. Is human personality so simple?" Clarence asked.

"Of course there are more than four types of human personality, but they can have commonalities." Sirius retorted not to be outdone, "Slytherins are all sinister, prejudiced, and snobbish."

"Your statement itself is prejudice." Clarence pointed out.

"This is accepted truth, not prejudice."

"Well, I will give up discussing this meaningless topic." Clarence said helplessly: "Next topic, you have two choices now. First, go back to the Black family. Although the final inheritance of the Black family should be Regulus, his recovery is not bad. The relationship between you should not be too bad. I think Regulus should not refuse to let you go back to the old house of Black. Before he returns, Mr. Black The house also needs someone to look after it, although I have doubts about your ability to take care of a house. Second, staying in Malfoy Manor, this is no problem, Narcissa was here when I first decided to rescue you Your room is ready. We usually meet at Malfoy Manor, so here, you can learn about our latest progress, including the progress of finding Harry Potter and Peter's whereabouts. Of course, you can also choose to leave by yourself , but I don’t really recommend you to do this, after all, you don’t have a wand, no legal status, and no savings. The point is, your current physical condition is really not very good.”

"What else?" Sirius put down his glass and looked at Clarence seriously.

"What else?" Clarence looked at Sirius with innocent eyes: "That's all."

"What's the third option?" Sirius repeated his question: "If there wasn't a third option, it wouldn't be you who came to tell me this. Neither Black nor Malfoy Mr Winter."

"Haha, it seems that Azkaban has not had a deep negative impact on you." Clarence showed no embarrassment of being exposed, but just showed a confident smile.

"I'm just weak, not stupid." Sirius immediately said, "Are you confident that I will choose the plan you gave?"

"I can answer your initial question first. I will definitely be able to find Peter, and I will also be able to find you, no matter where you go."

"Are you threatening me?" Sirius asked sullenly.

"No, I'm tempting you." Clarence resolutely denied the crime Sirius placed on himself: "Finding people is my unique ability. I can give you what you value most."

"How do you know what I value?" Sirius asked disdainfully.

"If I didn't know, you wouldn't have come to the snake's den you don't like the most. You care about the situation of your godson, and at the same time, you always want to catch Peter who betrayed the Potters. As for other things, it's only towards the end. If you go in the direction of the Dark Lord's rule, you don't mind the differences in details, right?" Clarence said.

"Do you want me to follow you? Why?" Sirius heard what Clarence meant, but was confused.

"Looking at your expression, didn't you know the content of the third choice when you first guessed it?" Clarence was also surprised by Sirius' reaction.

"I don't think about anything, I just know what you want me to do." Sirius said frankly: "So you really want me to follow you?"

"Yes, I recently found that I lack an informed thug. Then I see that you are quite suitable, although you still need some training." Clarence said with a smile: "How about it, think about it?"

"I want to know your true identity, and why you can guarantee that you can find Peter." Sirius immediately put forward his own conditions.

"The latter one is understandable, but why is the former condition? You know, the more you want, the more you need to give. This is an eternal truth." Clarence's smile still hangs firmly on his face In fact, it was not affected by the conditions proposed by Sirius.

"Isn't it an unbreakable spell? I have no problem." Sirius waved his hand, and he agreed boldly, staring at Clarence.

"Ha, you're really smart." Clarence nodded, "But you're wrong, I'm not going to make any spells with you. As long as you promise me yourself, that's fine."

"Why?" Sirius once again showed an expression of surprise.

"Gryffindor's trust doesn't need an unbreakable spell, right? I don't think your loyalty to Potter needs any evidence." Clarence explained.

"But you're not James."

"I'm not James, but that doesn't conflict with me wanting to be someone you trust. Although I do want to make the most of your abilities." Clarence took out a blank piece of paper and pen.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll reveal your secret?" Sirius stared curiously at what Clarence was writing, while continuing to ask his own question.

"Spells are not the only thing that can restrain wizards." Clarence lowered his head and wrote his own things, and answered Sirius' question: "I follow my teacher to learn knowledge and learn his values. Although the cooperation in this world is greater The essence of part is the exchange of interests, but the concept of interests is not so narrow. In other words, what I am going to give you is the interests I think you value most in exchange for your trust and help."

"What kind of theory is this?" Sirius said he didn't quite understand: "Who is your teacher referring to? Slughorn?"

"Oh, of course not. My teacher is a well-known Muggle scholar." Clarence finished what he wanted to write: "So let me confirm again, you agree to come with me and help me alive?"

Sirius glanced at the paper in Clarence's hand, then looked back into Clarence's eyes, and nodded vigorously: "Anyway, I have nowhere else to go."

"Oh, well, then you take this and read it. Because what you want to know is under the protection of the Fidelity Curse, so you can only read it." Clarence handed the content he had just written to Sirius : "It's time to leave after reading this. The summer vacation is coming to an end. I still have to find a place to put you." Clarence said to himself, not noticing that at this time Sirius had been replaced by a He had a hellish expression on his face.

The author has something to say: ah~~~

The summer vacation of the third grade is over~~

Clay is going to bring the dog by his side to train them, so that the dog won't be a nuisance to them in Malfoy Manor. Obviously, the dog's aura is already incompatible with Slytherin, so it's better to throw it in Hufflepuff's lair , Well, make a fist!
