HP's Platinum Temptation

Clarence smiled helplessly at first, but Snape made things difficult for him suddenly.

"Severus?" Lucius looked at Snape puzzled, "Why do you think so?"

"Think about it carefully, isn't it really suspicious? You should still remember your unbreakable spell back then. It was agreed in the name of Chief Lambert and Chief Malfoy that the two families reached a cooperation of mutual non-betrayal and mutual assistance. The cooperation contract is in When the Dark Lord is completely dead, or when both parties agree, the cooperation contract ends. This contract is not completely without loopholes." Snape stared at Clarence and said: "This does not guarantee Mr. Winter will definitely destroy the Dark Lord in the end. Your cooperation can also be understood as restoring the identity of the Dark Lord by keeping the Malfoy family. Moreover, it is a contract made by the two patriarchs. If the Dark Lord revives himself, this If the two families gather together to rule, they will not violate the oath."

"But if he is the Dark Lord, why did he specifically tell us about the Horcruxes? Isn't that digging his own grave?" Lucius retorted in response to Snape's question.

"However, all the Horcruxes have not been destroyed yet, haven't they?" Snape continued, "And they are all in his hands. Does that also mean that in the name of destruction, he is actually Want to recover all Horcruxes?"

"You know his real identity, right?" Snape suddenly turned to Sirius: "Then, after knowing his identity, do you think his real identity can explain the few suspicious points I just mentioned?"

Sirius turned his attention to Clarence immediately, and his eyes couldn't help becoming a little hesitant, but he didn't say what he was thinking, but kept silent.

"Henry will not be the Dark Lord." Lucius said so, his attitude was not shaken by Snape's words just now and Sirius' silence.

"Why? I thought I had a good reason?" Snape asked.

When Snape's questioning eyes met, Lucius' first reaction was to blurt out three words: "I believe him." But before Snape showed a surprised expression, he realized the problem in his words , and immediately added a few more words: "Not the Dark Lord."

"Why did you believe him? Can you explain the question just now?" The astonishment on Snape's face flickered and turned into seriousness.

"I've also thought about what you just said, and I think there is no problem." Lucius said.

"But," Snape paused, "you just answered my question without thinking at all."

Lucius' embarrassment was not obvious, because he quickly lowered his gaze, and covered it with the movement of picking up the teacup: "Don't you think I won't think carefully before making any decisions?"

"Why don't you explain?"

Snape's skeptical eyes shifted from Lucius to Clarence while he was speaking, but he found that the suspect who was being questioned by them and should be nervous and trying to defend himself, not only did not have any anxiety, he was even smiling. .

Lucius, who avoided Snape's sight just now, looked up curiously because of the silence after the question, but when he met Clarence's eyes that were almost overflowing with a smile, he didn't know how to respond for a moment. .

Clarence is a person who often has a smile on his face, sometimes casually, sometimes confidently without hesitation, and also has a helpless wry smile.But at this time his smile does not fit any of the above.He just looked at Lucius closely but not oppressively, the corners of his eyes slightly raised at an angle that was just pleasing to the eye.His lips were pursed lightly, but his teeth were not exposed.

But it was this seemingly reserved smile that made Lucius feel a tightness in his chest and was speechless.

"What are you laughing at?" Snape couldn't understand the meaning of the smile.

"Well, I'm laughing 'that's enough.'" Clarence's answer left Snape still scratching his head, and when he turned his head, Lucius looked away again, looking at his teacup .The atmosphere was a little weird.

"I don't explain because I don't need it. I don't tell you my real identity just to avoid explanation. Ah, but as an insider, Sirius, I think I can explain to you that I became the Lambert family The Patriarch was in 1978, before the end of the Dark Lord's last reign." Clarence knew the reason for Sirius' hesitation.In fact, Clarence had been surprised that Sirius hadn't immediately jumped up to agree with Snape's idea.

"1978? Then you just..." Sirius widened his eyes in surprise, but at least he stopped the car in time.

"Yes, that's what you think. So, is your question resolved?" Clarence shrugged and asked in a relaxed tone.

"What kind of charades are you playing?" Snape frowned, his face turned a little worse.

"I believe Winter is not the Dark Lord." It was Sirius who answered Snape in a decisive tone.

"Actually, I don't explain because I know that you don't really doubt me." Clarence said with a smile to Snape: "Probably because there were so many 'nonsense' in Principal Dumbledore's 'nonsense' during the conversation this evening. Does this detail touch you? The most important point is that I know too many things, far more than any of you. The only person you can think of who has more relevant information than me is the Dark Lord himself. But, I haven't given a serious explanation for why I know this. When you face Dumbledore's question, you find that you can't convince yourself, do you?"

"You represent the entire Violet Alliance, but you are the only representative I've seen so far." Snape snorted unwillingly, but his tone was loose.

"It seems that I have quite a charismatic personality. Even if you can't convince yourself, you still haven't really doubted me. Haha." Clarence smiled happily and confidently: "I am very grateful for your trust, really " Clarence said, looking from Snape, past Sirius, and finally fell on Lucius, and then continued after delaying for a while: "I feel very happy."

******

The discussion about Dumbledore didn't take too much time, and that night Clarence took Sirius in black dog state back to Lambert Manor.Before he left, Lucius seemed to want to ask him to stay, but in the end he gave up with twinkling eyes.

The next morning, Clarence woke up at home.Sirius slept soundly in the superior kennel at the foot of the bed.Clarence doubts whether he can be as calm as Sirius if he maintains the state of Armanigues.

In the beginning, Sirius was abducted to his side, not only because he wanted to keep an informed thug, but also because Sirius knew Armanigus.

Although Clarence is following Professor McGonagall to study Armanigues, and it is progressing well.But Clarence didn't want to be a registered Armanigues.Obviously the most prominent effect of polymorphism in animal form is surprise.Then, to avoid registration, the conscientious and rigorous Professor McGonagall must not let the serious and rigorous Professor McGonagall know of Clarence's success.The only way is to pretend to learn to fail for yourself.But in this way, there is no way to learn from Professor McGonagall about the precautions and specific problems of the final transformation success.

Sirius was in favor of Clarence's decision, and recognized his talent in learning Armanigues.The only pity is that Clarence has been stuck in figuring out his Armanigues form.This is not a problem for many wizards who failed to learn Armanigus.But Clarence is stuck here.Sirius found his own form in the first place very smoothly.The sigil of the Black family is the dog.But the crest of the Lambert family is a flower...

At the peaceful breakfast table, Clarence was in a daze thinking about his Armanigues problem.It wasn't until Alvira coughed twice on purpose that Clarence came back to his senses and realized that all the family members at the dinner table seemed to be looking at him: "What's wrong?"

"This." The Duke of Rezlan shook the opened letter in his hand: "I just received a letter from Mr. Malfoy."

"Lucius? Why?" Clarence asked puzzled.

"He asked if the whole family could visit our manor tomorrow." When Terrence answered, his eyes were ambiguous with a bright smile on his face: "Look at the way you were in a daze just now. You stepped on his tail yesterday. Is it? Brother, this is not kind. Molesting others, we must do a good job in the aftermath!"

Clarence spat out a sip of black tea, and the black dog nibbling on the dog food at his feet also made the sound of choking on the food.

"You really are master and servant!" Theodore, who was sitting on Clarence's left, leaned back and patted the coughing black dog to comfort him.At the same time, he received a blank stare from Clarence.

"What are you going to do, Clay, do you want to refuse?" Duke Rezlan asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know what stimulated him. I didn't do anything yesterday. There is no need to refuse. I guess he will propose next time if he declines this time." Clarence took Alvira on the right and handed The napkin that came over wiped off the embarrassment he made: "He probably wants to observe us at a close distance to speculate on my identity. The only way is to let him give up the idea of ​​​​starting from our house as soon as possible."

"Then what are you going to do? I'll write back now?" Duke Rezlan asked again.

"Go back. I'll ask Yvette to come over tonight and show you some specific information about the Violet Alliance recently. So as not to show his feet in his temptation. Especially Taylor, I guess he will focus on you. Clarence enjoined.

"Clay, are you trying to let your lover misunderstand your elder brother because you look the most like Taylor?" Emilia covered her mouth and chuckled, "Then what should I do?"

The author has something to say: Are you laughing when you read this chapter?

Hehe, Yuanyuan was always laughing when she coded.

'This is enough'
