HP's Platinum Temptation

Narcissa accepted Mrs. Collins' invitation without thinking twice.Mrs. Collins also told Lucius playfully that in order to compensate her for borrowing his wife, she would use her popular male companion tonight as compensation.

After hearing this, Lucius glanced at Clarence who was walking over with a slightly disgusted look.But in the end he still did not reject Mrs. Collins' request, and watched the two ladies leave first.

"Are you so reluctant to see me?" Clarence looked at Lucius' face with a rather innocent tone: "I've been looking for you all night."

"I thought you had a good time tonight?" Lucius snorted coldly, not cooperating.

Clarence smiled, without retorting.The expressions of Mrs. Collins and Narcissa just now reminded Clarence of a scene in school.

In the past, when the school dinner was over, everyone usually went back to the common room with their classmates from the same college.But lately, when Clarence and Jeffrey are leaving the auditorium together, Daphne and Cindy have often been seen walking out of the auditorium together.

Whenever this happens, one of Clarence or Cindy will take the initiative to give the other a reason to leave early together, and then acquiesce in leaving the free time after dinner to Jeffrey and Daphne.

"What are you laughing at?" Lucius gave Clarence a displeased look.

"I'm laughing, we look like students who are in love in school. Mrs. Collins and Narcissa are obviously creating opportunities for us to be alone, don't you think?" Clarence said, walking to the Lu Beside Hughes.

"I don't think so, I'm going back." Lucius didn't even bother to roll his eyes, and walked directly to the fireplace hall.

"Don't be in a hurry, come with me, I'll show you something." Naturally, Clarence would not let Lucius run away, and stepped forward to hold his hand, pulling him to another direction.

"Where are you going?" Lucius frowned, but didn't shake Clarence's hand away.

"I'll take you on a tour. This is the main building of the sports park. It's very convenient to go to the venues on both sides. Anyway, I'm here, so let's take a look around first." Clarence said this, but Lucius still looked displeased. As if willing, Clarence added another sentence: "It is not impossible to visit during the day, but all areas here are full of people during the day, construction workers, Ministry of Magic officials, and members of Mr. Mustafa's team now .So I think you would be more willing to put the visiting time in the evening.”

Clarence's words successfully made Lucius obey his proposal, and also succeeded in making Lucius experience the depressing feeling of being poked in his weakness for the third time tonight.

Because the entire scope of the sports park assumes a spell that prohibits apparition, the elevator equipment used for the main building is Muggle elevator equipment.Clarence took Lucius to the elevator, from the second floor where the dinner party was located, directly to the top floor of the main building.

"The main building is located in the center of the entire sports park, and it is also the place with the highest floor. Each hall has its own entrance and exit, but the main building has a special entrance and exit for the top-floor box. The place we are now is one floor higher than the top-floor box Here you can see the entire sports park. So the walls around the circular hall are all glass." Clarence pointed to the glass wall through which the moonlight penetrated, and asked Lucius proudly: "During the game, Do you want to come here to watch the game? This is the highest level of privilege."

"For the World Cup, the highest-level boxes should be reserved for Mr. Mustafa, the Minister of Magic, Crouch and Dumbledore. If you want to accompany them, you should also be accompanied by Deputy Director Lambert. It can't be you." Lucius didn't respond to Clarence's invitation for credit, but just walked closer to the wall, admiring the scene below.

"Oh, you said that. Their No. [-] box is at the foot of where you are standing now." Clarence replied casually: "No one from the Ministry of Magic or the International Quidditch World Cup organization knows about this lookout room. They will think that the No. [-] box they are in is the highest point from the outside. The elevator I took you just now is one of the only two entrances to this hall. There is no such button in the elevator The floor can only be entered by identifying the magic power. Not only can you directly see the Quidditch pitch here, but you can also see our live duel arena and all the surrounding conditions of the venue. If this is also open to Crouch and the others, how can we Can you guarantee that the ownership of this building can still be firmly held in your own hands?"

"Isn't there another entrance?" Lucius asked.

"That's even more impossible." Clarence spread his hands, and pulled Lucius towards a glass wall facing the edge of the field, with his palm resting on the far left side of the glass. A doorknob appeared where he pressed it, and when he pulled the glass inward, the howling wind poured in from the outside, making Lucius unable to open his eyes for an instant.If it wasn't for Clarence holding him tightly, Lucius might have been thrown down.

"Close it quickly—" Lucius roared with great effort, but the wind made it difficult for him to hear his own voice clearly.

"What did you say?" Clarence's response was vague.

"Close the door!" Lucius yelled again in vain.

He was answered with a firm embrace and a passionate kiss.In order to stabilize his figure, Lucius was forced to hug Clarence's body tightly.It seems that every muscle of the strong body becomes extremely tight due to the force.

The flexible tongue pried open Lucius' tense and tightly clenched teeth, and the tip of the tongue quickly swept across Lucius' mouth, finding his tongue that was too stiff to move.She lightly tapped the tip of his tongue teasingly, and then sucked hard.

Lucius, who hadn't prepared early because of the sudden strong wind, basically used up his breath, and now he was tossed like this again, and he felt a little dizzy in an instant.Subconsciously, the ten fingers pinched the area where the palm was clinging to.

Clarence let out a soft snort from his nasal cavity, and entangled with Lucius for a while still savvy, before he had no choice but to let go of Lucius's more forceful threat.The door behind him, which had not been opened much, was also closed by the power of Clarence leaning back with his arms around Lucius.

Fortunately, there is nothing in the hall now, otherwise it would be blown into a mess by this strong air current.

"Let me go." Lucius panted lightly, and said in a cool tone.

"Don't let go, give me a hug for a while. I don't know how to find another chance next time." Clarence buried his head between Lucius' neck, greedily breathing the other's breath.

"I feel bad for you like this." Lucius struggled to maintain his balance.

"It won't be uncomfortable for you to rely on me." Clarence tightened his arms and put more force on Lucius' waist, finally successfully breaking his originally reluctant balance.Clarence let out a contented snort until the two bodies were pressed together tightly and the slightly warm temperature radiated through the clothes.

"Are you enough?" Lucius pushed the body in front of his hands in vain, but naturally remained motionless: "If you have nothing to do, I'll go back."

"Well, it's something. Did you irritate old Crouch at the banquet just now? Why did he suddenly come to ask me if he wants to lobby the Aurors to join our game." Clarence's breath followed his words And lightly sprayed on Lucius' neck and ears, causing Lucius to tremble slightly.

"If you want to talk about something, just talk about it, let me go." Lucius continued to struggle.

"You can say it like that. Tell me, I'll listen." Clarence said in a completely dissatisfied tone, "What's wrong with letting me hug you? Didn't you want to before?"

"Will you let it go?" Lucius' tone turned into a threat, making Clarence choose enough to stop even though he was reluctant.

Lucius glanced at Clarence, staring at his extremely sad eyes, and stood up straight in a leisurely manner, arranging his slightly messy clothes.Then he reached out, hooked Clarence's neck, and took the initiative to send a deep kiss.

"Can we talk about things now?" After a while, Lucius let go of Clarence, his calm expression completely unchanged, his tone as if he was trying to coax a child, and gave Clarence a kiss.

Seeing Lucius' reaction, Clarence only felt annoyed and amused: "Can you stop being so awkward in the future?"

"Do you want love or not? Get down to business!" Lucius snorted coldly, then turned and walked towards the other side of the hall.

"Didn't I ask you a question? Did Crouch have any results?" Clarence followed helplessly, watching Lucius walking around the circular glass wall of the hall as if inspecting his own territory.

"Obviously, Mr. Crouch is still full of hostility towards the Death Eaters. So he probably locked up Crouch at home." Lucius looked while walking, focusing on the shape of the building below: "Here Are there more than two venues?"

"Four of them. What are you going to do with this little Mr. Crouch?"

"Get him back to where he should be. What are you building all these stadiums for, and what are you doing with all those big open spaces outside?"

"The proper state means killing him? I thought you would use him to do something." Clarence raised his eyebrows: "If you only target him, it's not like your style. The open space outside In the future, it will be used as a tent area for wizards who come to watch the game. After the game is over, it can be used as a parking lot. The other two venues are for Muggles. If they have any large-scale events, they can also be held here. "

"That's why those Muggles volunteered to help you build this sports park? Hiding the real purpose?" Lucius curled his lips: "It's really unpleasant to share a building with Muggles."

"It's not a concealment. It's just to help Mrs. Thatcher relieve the surplus labor force from the previous strike. It serves multiple purposes. What about Crouch?"

"Did you agree to let the Aurors participate?" Lucius asked, looking up.

"Not yet, but I think it should. What do you think?"

"Dumbledore said that he hoped that we could add a duel competition arrangement for underage wizards, so that Hogwarts students can also participate. If we want to expand this competition, it is not without benefits. After all, our bet Only we know the date. It’s good to let Aurors join in, and it’s also a pleasant thing to let them realize the gap in reality.”

"Sure enough, you must have provoked old Crouch. But why do I feel that he is coming after me?" Clarence asked.

"I'm just helping him dispel some unrealistic thoughts. Even if he really wants to change the Minister of Magic, Lambert has a higher probability of success than him." Lucius' tone revealed obvious disdain.

"Sure enough, you don't like old Mr. Crouch very much. So, when did you talk about this topic with Dumbledore? Why did he want students to join?"

"When I went to see Crouch, he was about to talk to Dumbledore, and I interrupted him. But I guess what he wanted to say was probably related to the Auror competition. Dumbledore's words next to him , Crouch will not just ignore me and turn around and walk away."

"This is very strange, will Dumbledore offer to help you?"

"Whether he offered to help me, I don't know. But he wants us to do something for sure. When I hinted to him that Barty Crouch Jr. was still alive, he quickly reacted and hoped that I would put The problem of the Carlo family left over from last time will also be resolved." Lucius stopped, and seriously looked back at Clarence, who was half a step behind him: "I suggest that we expand our game and strive for as much as possible. There will be more audiences, and then the matter of Crouch and Carlo will be resolved together. The matter of the Dark Mark will be brought out by the way. It will be convenient for the later merger."

"You decide, as long as it doesn't affect the final result we want. If you need to cooperate, let me know at any time."

"Don't you care about that? I mean about the Death Eaters." Lucius continued to stare at Clarence.

"Don't you also don't really want me to intervene? Why are you so cautious today? Is the Carlo family in trouble?" Clarence was a little surprised by Lucius' solemn and smiling response.

"It's true. There are more people in the Carlo family, and it's not as easy to attack as Nott. Moreover," Lucius paused seriously again, watching Clarence's reaction: "Carlo is still the principal of Hogwarts. Dong Zhi, have you heard of it?"

"I've heard about the school directors. I remember that the Malfoy family is the school directors, and so is Hall." Clarence replied truthfully: "I don't know much about the others. Why, he is the school directors." Does it matter? Why did Dumbledore mention him specifically?"

"The relationship between the school director and the principal is naturally opposite." Lucius showed a slightly contemptuous expression: "The management of Hogwarts is something we all care about."

"So that's why you and Dumbledore have a bad relationship?" Clarence speculated.

"Who knows if he collects such a large amount of money from the school manager every year, and whether he actually spent it on the school in the end." Lucius gave an ambiguous answer.

"Sounds very interesting. I didn't know that Hogwarts' finances are also in the hands of the headmaster. Isn't this kind of question asked by someone who understands finances to find out?" Clarence said nothing. Go ahead without any doubt

"Do you think that Dumbledore will obediently give up the financial power?" Lucius said, "It's definitely not that easy to find Dumbledore."

Clarence nodded in agreement, and made another suggestion: "Do you want the two people from our family at school to check it out for you?"

"I thought your attitude towards Dumbledore was friendly and positive." Lucius showed a slightly surprised expression.

"Yes, but of course I have a better relationship with you." Clarence took the opportunity to confess again: "Then you want to say that Dumbledore will help you if you deal with the Carlo family this time?"

"He may not be willing to take the initiative to help, but if he tries to use him, he probably won't say anything. If we want to do this, we need to start planning from the World Cup. We must also involve students in the competition, so that we can make it go smoothly. Dumbledore is coming to attend."

"I don't care about that, you can figure it out. By the way," Clarence suddenly changed the subject and asked with a smile, "Are you satisfied with my new temporary residence?"

"Are you planning to live here? During the entire game?" Lucius asked in surprise: "I thought you would use this as the control center of the security system."

"Of course not, I will arrange the most powerful final defense facility on top of this. For the rest, the double protection of the Auror and Violet Society will do. Everyone's offices are in the same building, The temporary office for you is on the floor below." Clarence looked expectantly again: "Do you want to move in together?"

******

The Quidditch World Cup Finals is a grand gathering for wizards from all over the world.The meaning of a grand event is directly equivalent to a large number of people.While it's a hassle to look after the needs of so many people, every country's Ministry of Magic takes hosting the competition with the utmost honor.

Originally, the UK had to wait two more times before it could qualify for the competition.But with the help of a perfect competition environment without Muggle interference, old Crouch successfully won this opportunity ahead of schedule.So it's no wonder he was so critical and wanted better service.

Although it is fair to consider that no country will be able to host the World Cup finals consecutively, Crouch believes that under the temptation of far surpassing other countries, everything is possible.

Surrounding the outside of the sports park is a wide rest area.The sign originally used to divide the parking spaces in the parking lot has been well utilized.Two connected parking spaces perfectly form a tent camp.The podium originally used as an indoor parking lot has also been transformed into a free market and life service area.

Because I knew in advance that this camping does not need to be disguised as a Muggle, the tents brought by everyone this year are especially strange.At the same time, it was also because of this convenience and the early publicity.The number of spectators at this year's World Cup also broke the highest record in recent decades, reaching 15.

Clarence regrets that he has not found an audience from mainland China.This also means that the form of use of supernatural abilities in China is not magic.

"I heard that the tents used by the Malfoy family have always been very distinctive. It's a pity that I didn't get to see them this time." Clarence stood in the observation hall and looked down. The game was about to start, outside the eight entrances near the venue There was already a clear waiting line.

"If there are ready-made rooms to live in, I don't think anyone would like to live in a tent, even if the facilities inside are complete." Lucius, who was sitting behind a desk and studying the paper on the desk, replied without looking up.

"That's right, as long as you like it. When will Narcissa and Draco come over? Do you want me to wait for you to go to the box?" Clarence turned around and went to the floor mirror to check his clothes for the last time.

"No, you go first. I don't want to be saluted together." Lucius was quite decisive every time he refused Clarence.

"You always have a way to make me feel down, honey. Could you be a little nicer to me?" Clarence pursed his lips, and leaned close to Lucius shamelessly begging for a kiss.

Lucius kissed Clarence on the face perfunctorily, and then began to drive away impatiently: "Don't delay the plan, let's go."

Clarence touched the kissed face dissatisfied, and went to Box [-].

Box No. [-] is full of people related to the competition, and the crowd of dignitaries makes other people flock to the box.Originally, Clarence didn't want to join in the fun.

Most well-informed people know that the main organizer of this competition is the Violet Alliance.As the leader of the Violet Alliance, Henry Winter is of course one of the people who are vying to make friends with each other.

Therefore, when the members of the Carlo family met Clarence at the stairway leading to the box on the top floor, Carlo hesitated for a moment, but was still ready to say hello.However, someone is faster than him.

"Mr. Carlo? I didn't expect to meet you here, let's go in together." Clarence greeted warmly first: "I've been hearing about you from Mr. Malfoy before, but this is the first time we have Meet."

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Winter." Carlo responded politely: "I didn't expect Mr. Malfoy to take the initiative to mention me."

"I heard that you had some misunderstandings before. But it's been so long, you should have explained everything clearly." Clarence and Mr. Carlo walked side by side, and stopped at the door of Box No. [-].

"I think so. Then, I'm glad to meet you. Let's go to our box first." Carlo bid farewell politely.

"Hey, aren't you in the same box as me?" Clarence asked in surprise.

"No, we reserved the second box." Carlo's eyes trembled slightly, and he explained patiently.

"How could it be? On the seat chart I saw, Box [-] has the name of the Carlo family." Clarence took out a piece of parchment and showed it to Carlo.It said that the four positions closest to the door in the second row of Box [-] belonged to the Carlo family.

Carlo took out his ticket suspiciously, where the number 2 was originally written on it, but now it turned out to be 1: "It's strange, the wizard who checked the ticket just now told me that it was the second box."

"Maybe it's a mistake. Come on, let's see together." After finishing speaking, Clarence pulled Carlo's wrist and opened the door of Box [-] without waiting for Carlo's reaction.

The moment the door opened, everyone in the box looked over in unison.Carlo glanced at the situation in the box, and his face turned green instantly.

The author has something to say: a little dizzy today...

By the way, if there is still space for the number of words when the full text is finished and customized, Yuanyuan is going to add a certain plot in the position in front of the **** of this piece.

Uh, big empty room, surrounded by large floor-to-ceiling glass walls, the highest point of the building, no lights, soft moonlight, no beds or anything, uh...

O(∩_∩)O haha~
