HP's Platinum Temptation

Narcissa tried her best to calm down and said, "I hope that what you say is really your own true thoughts."

Facing Narcissa's intentionally stimulating words, Lucius' reaction was complete silence.He felt that his previous answer was the most true thought he should have.

Love is only hot for 3 minutes, which is an excuse Lucius made for his 'abnormality'.

However, after rejecting Clarence's invitation twice, even Narcissa could see that the 3-minute enthusiasm that Lucius mentioned had lasted for more than a month, and there was no sign of it going away, but intensified .

Because it took half a month to see Clarence for a few hours, Lucius spent more and more time staring at the ring in a daze.Apparently, what Lucius was thinking in his heart and what he expressed verbally were fundamentally different in words and deeds.

Looking at Lucius, who was on the tip of his horn, but couldn't figure it out, Narcissa really couldn't see it at all.Half persuaded and half forced, Narcissa pushed Lucius directly into the fireplace and threw him into Snape's office.

Clarence had also said that Snape was the only friend Lucius ever acknowledged.The friends in this sentence are completely without quotation marks, and the concept of friends in other non-Slytherin houses is exactly the same.This meant that there were many things Lucius would not say to Narcissa and Clarence, but he had no scruples about Snape.

The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear. Narcissa naturally understands how much Lucius cares about Clarence.Snape was able to patiently participate in the boring discussion group initiated by Sirius, and he obviously supported the matter of Clarence and Lucius being together.If Lucius could listen to Snape's advice, maybe the relationship between the two people would be able to avoid some unnecessary twists and turns.

But Narcissa ignored one thing, whether Snape would comfort and relieve Lucius was a technical question.

Snape was grading student work at his desk when Lucius appeared in Snape's fireplace.Facing the sudden visitor, Snape only raised his head to confirm his identity, without saying a word, he went back to his own business.

The two meet and rarely result in a lengthy conversation.Lucius was also used to Snape's silence, and sat down on the sofa by himself.After a while, he entered the state of staring at the ring in a daze again.

Snape finished a batch of homework and looked up at Lucius.Picking up the wand and making a move, a bottle on the pharmacy shelf automatically floated up, wobbling towards Lucius' eyes.Subconsciously caught by the latter.

"Rejuvenating potion?" After seeing the label on the bottle clearly, Lucius put on a puzzled tone: "Do I look that bad?"

Snape looked up at Lucius, as if urging him to drink, without speaking.

"Oh, well, I'll drink it. Maybe I should also ask you for some dreamless potion. I can't fall asleep recently." Lucius sighed, unscrewed the cap, drank the potion in one gulp, and then put the cap back on, revealing A painful and tangled face: "The taste of your potion is still the same."

Snape raised his eyebrows, and said in a bad tone: "I need to remind you, I still have three grades of homework that I haven't corrected, a planned research experiment that I haven't done, and I have to attend the whole school tomorrow morning to welcome the other three students." Visitors' banquet."

"Are the people from the three schools coming? Tomorrow? Have you confirmed the list? To be on the safe side, it's best to have an accurate list and let Clay confirm their identities one by one." Lucius put the empty bottle aside , following Snape's words.

Hearing Lucius mention Clarence freely, Snape looked up at Lucius: "I remember Dumbledore mentioned that you were invited to be the referee."

"Will you chat with me?" Lucius pointed to the sofa opposite him: "I haven't decided whether to agree or not. If you are a referee, you will need to see Clay often."

"Mr. Lambert will probably be very happy." Snape stared at Lucius for a while, and finally put down the quill in his hand, and walked over.

"I'm not sure what he will do when we meet often. The relationship between him and me is not suitable for publicity." Lucius' eyes fell back to the ring, and his tone was low.

Snape couldn't understand how Lucius came to him for comfort when he was confused by emotion. He had never learned how to comfort others, even his friends: "I've been researching a new potion recently. Mr Lambert asked me to do it."

"Pharmaceutical?" Lucius raised his head and asked in confusion.

"It's tentatively called the Magic Awakening Potion, and it's for the Squib. If it succeeds, there is a certain probability that the Squib's body will generate a new magic power cycle and become a wizard." Snape mulled over for a while, concealing the source of the idea of ​​the potion. , barely met Clarence's requirement of secrecy.

"Why does he want to study this? Even if Squib can become a wizard again, it probably won't achieve much. The key is that the total population of Squib is not much." Lucius immediately followed the train of thought that Snape said. Lenovo.

"He said that if wizards and Muggles are encouraged to intermarry, the probability of Squibs will inevitably increase. If this problem cannot be solved, the population of the wizarding world will still not be able to increase." Snape answered mechanically.

"Muggle marriage?" Lucius frowned immediately, and asked in an uncertain tone, "Do you support his idea?"

Snape silently looked down at the table between the two, and suddenly said, "Lucius, I thought you knew my father, although he was a bastard I didn't want to admit, but he was indeed a Muggle."

Lucius was taken aback when he heard that.Friends with Snape for many years, neither of them had talked about this topic, and he had indeed ignored it.After all, Snape had been a typical Slytherin for many years, and Lucius, who had always emphasized pure blood in front of Snape, was not refuted.Looking back now, in fact, Snape didn't agree every time, but just kept silent.This is exactly the same as Lucius' silence every time Clarence mentioned that Muggle-wizard connections should be promoted.

Lucius sighed, "Sorry."

The scene became quiet again for a while, but it was not a cold scene.Probably this is the unique way of communication between Slytherins that both of them are used to.

In the quiet cellar, a voice that was almost inaudible suddenly sounded: "So, about the Muggles, you think he is right?"

Snape's deep voice sounded: "It probably has nothing to do with right or wrong, it's just an objective fact that has to be faced. He was just earlier and more proactive than us."

"initiative?"

Snape raised his head and met Lucius' hesitant gaze: "Actually, I have never understood the reason why he took the initiative to do all this before. Without the help of Muggles, the Dark Lord's problem can be solved, right? Although He is also a pure-blood wizard, but after all, the Lambert family is already the hereditary duke of the British Muggle world, isn't it?" Snape's eyes fell on Lucius's eyes and became a little meaningful.

"You mean, if he keeps a low profile and even avoids the affairs of the wizarding world, the Dark Lord is a problem he doesn't need to face at all?" Lucius looked at Snape's eyes and pondered for a long time before finally Seems to have caught a clue.

Suddenly, Snape's calm expression distorted for a moment, and the next second, his eyes were empty, and his body leaning on the sofa fell straight down.Hold the left arm tightly with the right hand.Painful expression and cold sweat poured out all of a sudden.

The moment Lucius noticed the movement of Snape's hand, his heart contracted violently.

Seeing Snape struggling on the sofa, Lucius didn't dare to approach him.He no longer had the Dark Mark on his body, so he naturally didn't know what happened to the Dark Mark at this time.Acting rashly might bring Snape more trouble.

At this moment, Lucius' water mirror rang, and it was Clarence.

Walking quickly to the door away from Snape, Lucius adjusted his breathing before connecting with Clarence.

Lucius, who was always worried about Snape's situation, didn't notice the subtle temptation and strangeness in Clarence's words during the call.

After roughly pacifying Clarence's complaints, Lucius ended the call and returned to Snape's side.

I saw that Snape had already recovered from the trembling that he was trying to restrain the pain, but his face was still pale and bloodless.

With Snape's consent, Lucius helped him to lie down on the sofa.

Snape kept his eyes closed and lay still for a long time, while Lucius patiently watched over him.The activeness of the Dark Mark not only indicates the return of the Dark Lord, but may also be a message from the Dark Lord.

"He's back." Snape's first words were unusually hoarse after he lay down for a long time.

"Now?" Lucius asked in shock, "He summoned you?"

"He seems to have just entered the British territory. He was the one who was determining the number of Dark Marks just now." Snape said, his tone was quite heavy.

"He's never done this kind of thing, right? How could he suddenly check all the Dark Marks?" Lucius' heart suddenly hung up: "Clay's guess is right, he..."

"He lost his temper and said he was going to kill you," Snape slowly opened his eyes, his eyes serious: "And Clarence."

"How? How could he know Clay's name!" Lucius shook his head desperately: "It's impossible!"

"If he enters the UK now, he is likely to be among the students of those three schools. Shall we tell Mr. Lambert?" Snape sat up from the sofa with support.

"No! Don't be impulsive, I have to think again. Did he dare to come, does it prove that he is confident that Dumbledore will not find out? If you confront him head-on... Has he found your...?" Lucius anxiously ask.

"The information is vague." Snape shook his head.

"I will promise Dumbledore to be the referee. Don't tell Clay. He is not familiar with 'his' style. I will handle it." Lucius thought quickly: "It should be fine for the time being in school, he dare not be Dumbledore's face is exposed. We should still have time, let Clay go through the list tomorrow. If...if we can find his name, it will be fine. If not..."

"He seems very confident that he can achieve his goal." Snape hesitated, but added: "Shouldn't you remind Mr. Lambert to pay attention?"

"No need to remind, he also knows that there must be something wrong with the students this time. But if he knows that 'his' clear intention is to target him and me, Clay will not allow me to enter Hogwarts. No tell him!"

Because of the closure of the Goblet of Fire, Hogwarts has not had such a lively event for a long time.At the beginning of the school year, all the students went crazy with excitement when they heard about the four-school joint live-action wizard duel competition.Information about the other three schools was quickly obtained and then spread.In the corridors, it's all about that.

It was also a great event for the students of the other three schools who are coming to Hogwarts.

Pure-blood families with a wide range of social connections in the wizarding world all over the world are always the easiest to get the latest and most authentic information under such circumstances.Less than half a month after the start of school, the information brought by the Slytherin students had already gathered in Clarence's hands, and even the list of students from the three schools who would come to Hogwarts had been carefully deliberated. Not far from ten.

After Dumbledore confirmed the arrival time of the three parties, he deliberately called the prefects and male and female student presidents of the four colleges to the office.Clarence, a sixth-year student with no actual position, was also present at the meeting, and no one objected.

Because the numbers and styles of the three schools are different, in the end, students from Salem Wizards College in the United States will follow Gryffindor College in their daily school life, and students from Beauxbatons will follow Ravenclaw College. Hufflepuff, with the largest number of people, has no guest reception tasks, so the students of Durmstrang House are assigned to Slytherin House.

"During the event, the head of the male and female student council will be responsible for arranging and maintaining the order of the venue. During the official competition, the Ministry of Magic will also send people to participate. Mr. Lambert Jr. will serve as the leader and captain of our Hogwarts representative team , take full responsibility for the selection and training of the students representing the school to participate in the competition! I think that all the students will have no objection to this." In terms of the experience of organizing and operating the competition, the students and the Ministry of Magic should not be able to match it. The professional team of Violet Society.But Dumbledore obviously didn't want to hand over the responsibility for this area.However, Clarence's existence and influence in the school cannot be ignored, so he gave Clarence the team leadership that was relatively insignificant and indeed the most valued by the students.

"Principal, I think that perhaps the professionals from the Violet Club can provide more professional advice for this competition." Naturally, Clarence would not agree to give up the opportunity to place people in this competition. The two of them clearly knew that, This competition is very likely to attract the appearance of the Dark Lord, but none of them can trust the opponent's ability.

"Oh, of course, this is natural. We have already invited Mr. Lucius Malfoy to be one of the judges of this competition. He was also the top person in charge of the previous competition. I think this arrangement should be very thorough. That's it." Dumbledore also knew where Clarence's weakness was, and while Clarence was stunned when he heard Lucius' name, Dumbledore immediately continued to speak, finalizing the whole matter: "The colleges All the prefects must cooperate with Mr. Lambert Jr. in selecting team members, and the honor of our Hogwarts depends on you!"

The fact that Lucius was the referee was also the reason why Clarence didn't immediately become suspicious after seeing his name in Snape's office, but he was a little unhappy.

Judging from Dumbledore's tone, this matter may have been settled at the beginning of school.But Lucius has called and met Clarence many times, but never mentioned this matter.

However, despite dissatisfaction and doubts, the competition must be carried out.

Although the competition in the Four Houses in the previous summer vacation was a bit boring for adult wizards, for the students, it made the live-action duel competition completely popular.Since then, each student has not only a fixed Quidditch team, but also a fixed dueling team.

Because Clarence did not participate in the competition at that time, the four colleges played evenly in the end, and none of the colleges had an absolute advantage.And since knowing that the composition of the Hogwarts representative team has not yet been determined, the dueling players of the four colleges have fought several times in the school because of this incident.With no one convinced, it is estimated that no matter who Dumbledore chooses to be the captain of Hogwarts, it will attract a lot of opposition.Because Clarence was suspended for a long time by default in the school, everyone forgot for a while, but when they were unanimously public, he was definitely the best choice for the captain.

Therefore, when Dumbledore announced the team leader's decision at the school-wide mobilization dinner welcoming the three colleges, all the students who had been arguing about this topic at the last moment were all quiet.

When Clarence was called to stand up, there was no sound in the huge auditorium.It made Clarence almost think that his right to compete would be shot down by all the students.

In the next second, the entire auditorium burst into cheers.

Who is Clarence? Although he hasn't made a move since the third grade, in the first competition, the two champions of the junior group and the adult group were all led by him. In the final finals, there was such an amazing move. .Although it seems a bit scary, but in the adolescent stage of hero worship, he is absolutely the best candidate for a hero.

In the joint competition of the four houses, Hogwarts is naturally unanimous, and Clarence is of course the super heavyweight killer!

The noisy and excited voices in the auditorium finally converged into one: "Lambert! Lambert! Lambert! Lambert!"

Looking at Clarence, who was still keeping his composure under the attention of everyone, Dumbledore pushed his half-moon eyes, probably starting to doubt whether his decision this time was a good or a bad one.

The author has something to say: Father L is finally aroused to protect~~It's not easy~

☆, 135 brown sugar

During the daytime on October [-]th, although there was still class on Friday, the hearts of the Hogwarts students were completely relaxed.Many students even discussed it in the teacher's class.

During breakfast time, the auditorium had been newly decorated, and after two months of cleaning, the interior of Hogwarts had also entered an unprecedented clean state, and many old idle school buildings had been sorted out.The visitors from the three schools will stay in Hogwarts for most of the semester. Apart from competitions, they will also enjoy the teaching of Hogwarts.As a result, the original classrooms seemed a bit inadequate.

In the evening, after the last batch of students were out of class, the Hogwarts teachers and students who had packed their clothes waited together in the front courtyard of the school.

Dumbledore led all the faculty and staff to stand at the forefront of the crowd, followed by the leading students, the male and female student presidents and prefects.A large group of people stood scattered. Although they lowered their voices, the venue still sounded noisy.Dumbledore did not stop the students from discussing, but just looked into the distance with a smile.

Because the Goblet of Fire has been closed for many years, Hogwarts students have not seen the sight of visits from other schools.Facing the vast and empty world outside the square, everyone has endless guesses.

The day time at the end of October has shortened a lot. When the clear sky was covered with pink and purple sunset glow, a strange beast cry lifted everyone's spirits. Everyone realized that the first wave of guests had arrived .

Tall winged horses pull an ornate gigantic carriage that fades into focus against a beautiful sky background.

"It's Beauxbaton Academy of Magic, and the leader is Madam Maxime." The male student president standing beside Clarence was also very excited. He eagerly shared the news he knew in advance with those around him, and soon , before the carriage landed, most of the students knew the identity of the visitor.

The tall woman slowly stepped down from the carriage, and behind her were thirty exchange students sent by the Beauxbaton Academy of Magic. They were male and female, but obviously there were more girls.Although under the background of Mrs. Maxim, the height of the students is not enough.However, as they passed the queue of Hogwarts students, it was obvious that the visitors this time were mostly seniors.

Dumbledore greeted Mrs. Maxime for a while, and then asked Professor McGonagall to lead the group of guests into the auditorium.Professor McGonagall took a scroll from Mrs. Maxim, and passed it to the female student president from Ravenclaw when passing by Clarence and the others.

It was the final list of all visitors to Beauxbatons Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The female student president asked Dumbledore to make a copy of the list before putting it away.

The status of the female students at Beauxbaton Academy of Magic seems to be obviously higher than that of the male students, and they all walk ahead.Because of the style and temperament different from Hogwarts, these female students attracted the attention of a large number of Hogwarts boys.There were only five boys following the team, and only one was a senior. His expression was much calmer and lower-key than that of the female students, hardly attracting attention.Clarence looked around them attentively, but found nothing unusual.

When the figures of all the staff of Beauxbaton Academy of Magic and Magic disappeared behind the school gate, the discussion in the square became heated again.

On time as agreed, the huge ship of Durmstrang College appeared outside the square.

Durmstrang College only recruits pure-blooded students, so the number is relatively small, with only twenty students accompanying them.In contrast to Beauxbatons, Durmstrang's pupils were almost exclusively boys of large physique.Karkaroff seemed to be seasick, and when he appeared, his face was obviously not good.As soon as he got off the boat, he quickly searched among the crowd, and then his eyes clearly fell on Snape.If Dumbledore hadn't reminded him first, he seemed to be subconsciously going towards Snape.

In the original book, Karkaroff also has an obvious and strong obsession with getting close to Snape.This time too.Clarence did not expect that Snape and Karkaroff also had a good relationship.

Karkaroff finally got his wish, entering the school was led by Snape.When passing by Clarence, Karkaroff was trying to grab Snape's hand, but the latter avoided with a look of disgust, handed Durmstrang's list to Clarence, and Lightly ordered: "Arrange their accommodation."

Karkaroff therefore took an extra look at Clarence and showed a slightly surprised expression.Still, his focus was on Snape, and the two walked quickly by.

Durmstrang's students were all wearing heavy overcoats, which made their originally tall physique look bigger, and with their solemn expressions, they were full of pressure.However, this can't resist the love in the eyes of the Hogwarts female students.The twenty students were arranged in a row of two, from tall to short, and only the last two were obviously the same height as the front row.Most of Durmstrang's students don't look sideways as they walk.So there was no clue.

So far, students from the two schools in Europe have successfully created a high-end, excellent and elite first impression in the minds of most students in Hogwarts.The discussion in the square was also very enthusiastic, and all the students were full of expectations for the campus life in the coming year.

For a long time, until the night was completely shrouded, and the voice of discussion spontaneously became quieter, the transportation of the third school was delayed.Professor McGonagall, who came out of the auditorium, walked quickly to Dumbledore and said something.

"These Americans can't find their way? After all, they have never been to Hogwarts." The male student president from Gryffindor couldn't help rambling again.

"It may be delayed on the road, and it's cold at night. I guess, Professor McGonagall may want some students to go back to the auditorium first." Clarence looked at the time on his water mirror: "It's time for the dinner to start .”

Sure enough, after listening to Professor McGonagall, Dumbledore hesitated, and turned to the students behind him: "Children..."

boom-

A huge roar sounded at this moment and approached quickly. A huge car that was dyed in various colors so that the shape of its body could not be distinguished clearly removed the invisibility spell and rushed towards Hogwarts.

With a screeching sound and the same decibel sound as the roaring sound, the giant colorful car flicked its tail in front of everyone's eyes, and then fell to the ground with a bang from mid-air, rolling up a cloud of dust.

The students raised their sleeves to cover their mouths and noses, and frowned.

Before Dumbledore could take thousands of steps, the door of the huge car slammed open, and the little American wizards wearing robes of different colors got out of the car one after another. The number of them obviously exceeded the number of the first two schools.

Before everyone could react from the situation in front of them, they were attacked by an unusually loud and full of laughter.

A man with a fluffy coat, shoulder-length brown hair that was also fluffy, a big face and a high nose got out of the car among the students, and strode towards Dumbledore.

The principal of Salem, surnamed Smith, is also a strong and strong man.However, unlike Durmstrang's rigorous attire of tall male students, Mr. Smith's attire is very unrestrained.He and Dumbledore didn't say a few words, and they hugged Dumbledore's shoulder very familiarly, and patted him a few times as a sign of friendship.The students in Salem didn't have their own formation, and when they got off the bus, they began to look left and right in a disorganized manner.When everyone walked to the gate of Hogwarts under the leadership of Dumbledore and Smith, most of the students in Salem were crowded and mixed with Hogwarts' own students.The originally well-ordered welcome team finally rushed to the auditorium in an unprecedented state of chaos.

Before Clarence had time to mourn for Dumbledore, who had endured Mr. Smith's shoulder hooks, he encountered the same situation himself.Before he could react, an equally long arm took advantage of the chaos of the crowd and reached for his shoulder.

Turning sideways, clasping the wrist, grasping the arm, rotating forcefully, and counter-grabbing movements are all done in one go.The students around him scattered, and the person who approached Clarence was twisted behind his arm by him.

"AhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhinOnly then did Clarence notice that the person he was holding was a blond student who got out of the car first.

Letting go, straightening his sleeves, Clarence said lightly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Williams, I'm not used to strangers approaching me. Are you injured? Do you want to see a therapist?"

"Well, Mr. Lambert really lives up to his reputation. He is indeed... Hey, how do you know that I am Williams?" The blond boy rubbed his arm with an exaggerated expression, and followed Clarence's footsteps back to the auditorium. At the same time asked in surprise.

It's a pity that Clarence didn't have much interest in him, so he didn't reply directly.However, Williams didn't seem to mind at all, and he forgot about the pain in a while, and started chattering after chasing Clarence.

"Mr. Lambert! I watched the World Cup and the duel last year. You were so handsome in the final. I admired you so much! But I didn't expect you to be younger than me!"

"I struggled with our principal for a long time before he agreed to come over. I just want to see you!"

"You are really easy to recognize. You have such a special temperament among the students. I recognized you at a glance!"

"Ah, Mr. Lambert! Don't go so fast!"

Williams' voice rivals Mr. Smith's, and he's also known for being rowdy.According to the information collected by Clarence in advance, this Williams will definitely appear in this team.Salem's schooling system is also seven years, and Williams is the well-deserved popularity king in Salem Wizard Academy.The three most important characteristics are high combat effectiveness, handsomeness and chatteriness.

However, Clarence also learned a piece of information that many people do not know from the channel of the Violet Club. Williams is an idiot, and unfortunately, since the end of the Quidditch World Cup, Williams seems to have developed an affection for Clarence. Great interest.So much so that, as a seventh-year student from Salem who was otherwise barred from participating in this year's exchange, Williams ended up at Hogwarts.

When Clarence saw his profile, he made up his mind to go around him.Unexpectedly, as soon as the other party came, they would be entangled.

The Hogwarts students respected and obeyed Clarence. Seeing him walking quickly, the students beside him also consciously made way for him.And Williams followed him, and after a while, he caught up with Dumbledore and Mr. Smith in the front.

"Oh! It seems that this is Mr. Lambert!" Smith's loud voice sounded deafeningly as he pushed open the door of the auditorium: "Our Williams likes you very much!"

At this moment, Smith's voice also spread into the auditorium, attracting the eyes of everyone who was already seated inside.

In the auditorium, apart from the two school students who had already been seated, all the non-school members of the referee team for this competition were also present.Clarence looked up, just in time to meet the gaze of Lucius, who was wearing an off-white robe, looking at this side.

******

The second day after the arrival of the visitors from the three schools is the weekend, which is very helpful for promoting the exchanges between the students of the four schools and allowing the students of the other three schools to adapt to the environment.Because the number of visitors to the Salem Wizarding Academy was much higher than planned, reaching 50 people, the reception task originally planned to be undertaken by Gryffindor alone was also changed to be completed by Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.Students from the two schools were therefore split into two different college dormitories.

Durmstrang has the fewest students, and Slytherin has the fewest students in the school.In addition, almost all of the two parties are members of the circle of pure-blood wizards, and there are even many students who have a good relationship in private. Therefore, people from the two colleges get along very well.

Durmstrang's students were also very convinced of Clarence. If Karkaroff was not there, the obedience performance of these twenty students would be the same as that of Slytherin, which made Clarence quite relieved.However, if the price of peace of mind is an extra brown candy named Williams sticking to it, Clarence would rather Durmstrang's students are more difficult to serve.

Beauxbaton is elegant, Durmstrang is rigorous, and Salem is passionate and executed to the end.

After all, the differences within Europe and the transcontinental differences in the Americas are not the same. Except for Clarence, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff were also lost their temper by this group of Americans.

Even Clarence was beaten by Williams' stalking skills and thick skin.The most important thing is that Clarence is not easy to deal with a particularly flat face.

On the night of the welcome dinner, just looking at Lucius from a distance, Clarence's longing was so strong that he couldn't restrain it.Helpless, Williams played his thick skin thoroughly on the first day.He just stuck it from the long Gryffindor table and squeezed between the seats of Clarence and Jeffrey.Although Jeffrey has also worked hard, he is no match for the tall Williams.

After the dinner, after all the Durmstrang students had been arranged to stay, Clarence was going to go out to find Lucius.

In the end, Williams was so idle that he didn't go back to the Gryffindor tower, he just blocked in front of the stone wall of the Slytherin lounge, and refused to leave no matter what other Hogwarts students tried to persuade him.Fortunately, Williams didn't have the password for the Slytherin lounge, so he couldn't get in.All the Slytherin students watched their always good-tempered chief go back to the dormitory with a livid face.

Clarence, who can only contact Lucius through the water mirror, has been monitoring the Marauder's map during the call with Lucius.This time Lucius honestly confessed that he was in Snape's office. Snape was dragged out by Karkaroff, and Lucius was waiting in the office while chatting with Clarence.

However, Williams actually waited at the door of the lounge until the curfew time, and did not leave slowly until Professor McGonagall, Mr. Smith and the head of the male student found him.At this time, Lucius' name had long since disappeared from the Marauder's Map.

The next day, as soon as Clarence took Durmstrang's students out of the lounge, he saw Williams in that block.

On the third day, with a shy face, Williams went to Hogsmeade with the students of Slytherin and Durmstrang.Clarence, the leader, was so entangled that he couldn't find a chance to go to Poplar Cottage.

On the fourth day, Monday, Williams, who came to Hogwarts but had no classes to attend, followed Clarence from the moment Clarence left the lounge in the morning until Clarence returned in the evening.

On the fifth day, yesterday reappeared.

……

The tenth day, Sunday, November 1987, 11, was Clarence's 8th birthday.After five years, Clarence once again experienced the feeling of being overwhelmed by birthday gifts.This time, it wasn't just the members of the Violet Alliance who followed him, including Lister and Hall. No member of the Violet Society dared to ignore the adult birthday of their first leader. Even the Minister of Magic sent gifts to express their hearts. Bullido even showed up at breakfast, toasted Clarence in front of all the students in the four schools, congratulating him on becoming an adult.Afterwards, the students in the whole school went crazy.

don't talk about finding time
