HP's Platinum Temptation
Chapter 137 Exhibition Competition (2)
Not many.It stands to reason that it is impossible for so many snakes to appear.If the Dark Lord had summoned him from the Forbidden Forest in advance, no one would have noticed when he entered the venue.Therefore, these snakes could only be summoned by spells.
Those who can enter this competition are all students, and the objects controlled by the Dark Lord Seizing Soul are naturally also students.The magic power of the students is limited, and the number of snakes is naturally not large.It's just that the actions of these snakes are more controlled, and the students on Clarence's side panicked when they saw so many snakes, and most of their spells missed.
After all, Clarence was alone, and the defensive area was limited. Seeing this, the controlled poisonous snakes scattered around and attacked from the outside of the students' unsophisticated defensive circle. After a while, a gap was torn open.Two Salem students were bitten on the feet by a poisonous snake and fell to the ground in an instant, life and death uncertain.
Where did the students see such a scene, their defenses became weaker immediately.
"Don't be afraid, step back and aim the spell. That should be a paralyzing toxin. Phew, the poison of killing is not so fast." Clarence was protecting a group of students, and could only block the loopholes on both sides, expending a lot of physical strength in a short while .
"This won't work. We won't be able to stop the attackers before we force them out." Williams shouted anxiously, "What should we do?"
"Go and defend Hogwarts with Lucius, leave this to me." Clarence gritted his teeth and pushed Williams away.
The group of people around them faced the group of snakes, and naturally Clarence had the strongest fighting power, followed by Lucius.In addition, including Williams, seeing the snake wave is a bit scary, and it is good to maintain half of the usual level.In contrast, because Hogwarts is more obedient to Clarence, it is not like Salem's retreat.
But it is impossible for Clarence to leave the students in Salem alone. In this system, everything that happens inside can be seen from the outside. If Clarence leaves these Americans behind, maybe after he gets out, he will It has escalated into a diplomatic issue between the British wizarding community and the American wizarding community.Such troubles might become an obstacle in solving the Dark Lord's plan in the next step.
But Williams is also extremely prestigious among the students in Salem. If he is not dismissed, even if Clarence wants to direct these students, there will be no way to achieve results.
Williams hesitated, but moved obediently.After he left, the students in Salem were slightly huddled under Clarence's order, barely resisting the poisonous snake's attack.
The snakes summoned by magic are originally consumables. If the defense side is stabilized, the poisonous snakes are not really endless after all.Probably realizing that the large-scale attack had no effect, the group of poisonous snakes changed direction again, focusing on Clarence and attacking.
Seeing the sound of pressure, the students in Salem didn't care about helping Clarence, and immediately fled backwards. Clarence, who was originally at the peak of the team, was separated from the team in an instant, and fell into the trap alone. Siege.With artificial control of this group of poisonous snakes, there is no time difference that can be used in large quantities, and Clarence's situation is suddenly precarious.
Because there were no more attackers outside, the speed at which the smoke screen was cleared was greatly increased, and the situation inside the venue was revealed in a short while.Before the audience who saw the situation had time to cheer for Clarence's action to save the Salem students, the next second, they all scolded the Salem students for their selfish behavior.
Seeing Clarence's figure almost being submerged by the snakes, Lucius' heart almost stopped beating: "Jeffrey, lead the people back, I'll help Clay." Hughes immediately turned back to rescue Clarence.
The snake group didn't make any movement about the students' departure, but as soon as Lucius appeared, the snake group immediately divided their number in half and changed their attack target.
"Stupid you, he was going to kill both of us, why are you rushing up!" Clarence became anxious after the pressure eased.
******
On the edge of the field, Snape was exhausted by Nagini's pursuit. As a magic snake, Nagini's attack power is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary snakes.In the beginning, Snape wasted a lot of energy in order to avoid Nagini because of the obstructed vision.By the time everyone saw his situation clearly and rushed over, Snape was already at a complete disadvantage.
The Auror fired a few spells from a distance, but Nagini either dodged them, or sparked a small spark on her scales, which was neither painful nor itchy, and didn't even have a hindering effect.
hiss--
Snape didn't expect that Nagini could slow down and paralyze himself in front of him. Suddenly Nagini increased his speed, and Snape had no time to react. He saw Nagini change direction rapidly, and rushed towards him with a bloody mouth. Come.
puff--
With the muffled sound of sharp teeth piercing into the flesh, Nagini's venom instantly stained most of the body of the target he bit into green.
Snape watched helplessly as Regulus rushed from nowhere and sent himself to Nagini's mouth.
"Partition, save Clay." Regulus' voice was still cold and emotionless, as if the snake head biting his shoulder didn't exist at all, but with just a few words, blood gushed out from the wound, staining red A light-colored robe.
Holding the snake's body for seven inches with both hands, his arms suddenly bulged with obvious gnarled muscles, forcefully twisted the giant snake wrapped around his body, and threw it aside heavily.
Nagini turned his head again, bit the arm that Regulus brought to his mouth again, his teeth only pierced halfway through the muscle before being stuck.
Snape, who got away, turned his head and went to open the partition of the reality system.
******
Compared with the wizards in Salem, Jeffrey's performance can be described as stunning.
After the Hogwarts students were out of danger, they instantly became jealous when they saw the two people trapped in the siege.They just exchanged glances with each other, rolled up their sleeves, followed Jeffrey and fell back.
When there is no defensive pressure and wanton offense, these students are simply extraordinary.If the aim is good, attack the group of snakes ejected into the air; if the aim is not good, just aim at the group of snakes on the ground and release the body to pieces.
Lucius, who was closest to the students, was relieved of most of his predicament in a blink of an eye.
When Williams saw his classmate abandoning Clarence, he was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.At this time, he immediately turned around to help without hesitation.
"You bastards!" The sinister voice finally turned from behind the hillside, revealing the appearance of the attacker.
"Bernard?!" Originally, because the black shadow came from Durmstrang's area, everyone thought that the attacker was from a student of Durmstrang, but unexpectedly it was a member of Beauxbatons.
"Stupid!" While the students next to him were still surprised by the identity of the attacker, Lucius shot without hesitation.
"Traitor." Bernard, or the Dark Lord who has taken over Bernard's body, waved his hand to block Lucius' spell: "A stun spell, Lucius, you are really backwards, I taught you What about the black magic?"
"To pieces." Lucius couldn't help but tremble the moment the Dark Lord spoke, but the spell under his hand didn't stop.
"What, you're so timid after you've been cleansed? I'll settle accounts with you traitors one by one over the past few years." The Dark Lord quickly fired a spell, causing the poisonous snakes to scatter and attack the students behind, leaving only Using Lucius as his opponent: "Crucio!"
As soon as Lucius dodged, the spell happened to hit a Hogwarts student behind him.The student's scream made Lucius' body stiff, and he finally failed to dodge when faced with the second red spell, and fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.
The Dark Lord let out a jerky laugh, raised his hand and made another note: "Why don't you hide? The fun is yet to come, my old friend."
"Lucius!" Clarence escaped from the siege of poisonous snakes with the help of Williams, and immediately rushed to Lucius.
"Don't worry, it will be your turn later!" The Dark Lord waved two spells to stop Clarence, who was about to approach, pointing his wand straight at him, and the Dark Lord smiled strangely again: "Look at what you are holding, a Wizard, actually dropped his wand."
"isa" Clarence swung the dagger with his right hand, and the light blue light accelerated the dagger instantly, heading straight for the Dark Lord.The latter threw two spells in a row, but failed to stop the dagger.After throwing the dagger, Clarence took out his wand, spit out short words one after another, and the light brown tip of the wand sprayed light with an unprecedented frequency.
Because the Dark Lord underestimated the enemy in the face of the first wave of dagger attacks, he was forced to be in a hurry by a large number of short and fast spells.
At this moment, the partition membrane finally shattered, and all the Aurors who had been watching outside rushed over in an instant.
"Avada Kedavra!" The Dark Lord's face darkened for an instant, he forcibly carried a spell from Clarence, and finally threw the spell at Lucius who fell to the ground.Immediately, before the Aurors completed the siege, Bernard's figure shrank, and a transparent force took advantage of the gap to escape.
Because of Clarence's attack, Lucius was relieved from the continuous torture of the Dark Lord. When he heard the incantation of the Killing Curse, Lucius got up and wanted to dodge.
At this moment, Williams said in his ear: "Let your strength go." Lucius, who had just raised his arm, was unprepared and was hit directly.
In the terrified eyes of everyone, Lucius embraced the green light that was shooting at him, and a thicker golden light, fell heavily, and was hit by a huge force so that he rolled back twice.
The strong impact made Lucius dizzy, and the pressure of gravity on his body instantly pulled his vague consciousness back to the world.
A soft golden animal with a familiar shape and a soft height approaching a person was pressed silently in Lucius' arms.
Lucius opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, the golden animal began to slowly change back to his original form, blond hair and blue robe.
"Clay!!"
☆, 139 attitude
The corridors of St. Mungo's fifth floor were empty, and the doors to most of the rooms were tightly shut.
Narcissa took Draco and Harry to the fifth floor, and after asking the room number, she walked to the room at the end of the corridor.
There was a large transparent window facing the corridor in the ward. At this time, the curtain of this window was pulled up high, and the bright sunlight coming in from the other side made the room extraordinarily refreshing.
"Well, I want to read a book."
"Okay, here we go."
"I want to eat an apple, and I want you to peel it yourself."
"okay."
Narcissa was the last to enter the room and closed the door behind her.Turning around, she heard this conversation that made her laugh and cry.
Clarence was lying on the bed with a big smile on his face, and Lucius was busy throwing an apple peeling knife beside him.
"You guys are really enough." Narcissa held her forehead weakly: "How about acting for me?"
"Clay!" Without waiting for Narcissa to nod in agreement, the two children rushed to the side of Clarence's bed from left to right.
"Why did you bring these two guys here? It's not safe outside." Clarence asked Narcissa while carrying the two children on the hospital bed which was not wide.
"Xiaolong heard that you were injured, so he insisted on coming. The Aurors also said that it's okay to come."
"I heard that I'm going back to school in a few days, so I'm in a hurry to see my Armanigus. I didn't suffer any injuries, so there's nothing to visit." Clarence tapped Draco's Head: "I don't know what you're thinking yet. Hmph!"
"Hey, Clay, show me, they all say your Armanigus is a dragon. I've never seen a real dragon, let me see." Draco stared at Clara with shining eyes Lens.
"Mine is a lizard, not a dragon. Who are you listening to nonsense?" Clarence rolled his eyes, but he did as the two children wished, and in a blink of an eye he turned into the soft golden strip that Lucius had hugged before. Creature, spread out on the bed.
"Hey, Harry, look, Clay has horns, it's really a dragon!" Draco reached out to poke the two small horns on Clarence's head, but Clarence dodged it with a shake of his head. In the past, she grinned at him as if to bite.
"Give us a touch, Clay." Draco got into the quilt unwillingly, insisting on grabbing the corner.
In fact, Clarence obviously meant to play with the two children. Narcissa sighed, went to put down the curtains on the other side of the corridor, and sat next to Lucius, instructing him to peel apples while talking: "Clarence How is Lens doing, are you really all right?"
"Well, I was in a coma for two days, and then I returned to normal." Lucius nodded, his tone was calm, and he didn't explain much.
Narcissa choked for a moment, although the words were simple, she could still guess the time of 'being in a coma for two days'. For Lucius, it was definitely not as simple as what he said now.
Before the Dark Lord left, Avada Kedavra seemed random, but with the cooperation of Williams next to him, it was basically a blow that was bound to be won.It just didn't occur to Clarence that before Williams attacked Lucius, he had subconsciously rushed over.Williams' slack force hit Lucius, but the death curse was blocked by Clarence in Armanigues state.
Holding Clarence, who was beaten back to his original form directly from the situation of Armanigues, hanging limply on his body, Lucius almost went crazy on the spot.
If it hadn't been stopped by Snape who rushed over from behind, Lucius might have killed Williams directly with Avada Kedav.
Then came Clarence's next coma, being sent to St Mungo's for treatment.For the coma caused by the death curse, no healer can do anything.Lucius stayed by the bed and took care of him for two days without sleep. When Clarence woke up without warning, Lucius who was by the bed collapsed and cried.After tossing Clarence, who had finally woken up, in a hurry, this trouble is over.
"What happened afterwards, those people." Narcissa asked softly.
"What do you say outside?" Lucius also felt a little stupid after peeling an apple, and directed the knife to continue working by himself, sighing.
"The report from the Daily Prophet is so exaggerated that I don't know whether to believe it or not. At first, there were tabloids saying that Clarence was dead, and then the Ministry of Magic immediately came out to clarify that it was just a coma. Who doesn't know the coma caused by the death curse It's no different from being dead. Fortunately, it was confirmed that Clarence woke up in two days. According to the tone of the Prophet's propaganda, if Clarence doesn't wake up, there will be riots outside. The Aurors have not let We're going out, so we can only get information from the newspapers. Snape is busy taking care of Regulus, you are busy taking care of Clarence, and the Lambert family is busy dealing with the Ministry of Magic and the media. It’s a mess.” Narcissa sighed: “Xiaolong and Harry were also scared to tears by these reports, and they really thought that something happened to Clarence, so he had to make a fuss. Then the Aurors just nodded and let us come out today.”
"It's not exaggerating, it's actually pretty much the same." Lucius smiled wryly, "If Clay hadn't woken up in time."
"What happened after that day?" Narcissa didn't attend the finals at all in order to take care of her two children, and she has been forced to stay at home since then.
"The Dark Lord has escaped. The child named Bernard is innocent, but the memory of being captured is still there, and he has been sent back to France for treatment. The students of Beauxbaton and Durmstrang are all Bitten by a poisonous snake, but it’s okay, just injured. After detoxification, you should be fine. The students in Salem are probably more miserable. First, the matter of leaving Clarence, and then that... Williams is sober, yes I confessed my crimes very simply. I am not a member of the Dark Lord, but I was simply bewitched and wanted me to die. I may still be sent back to the United States for trial. Although the power of the Williams family in the United States is not as powerful as that of Lan Burt is in England, but it’s not too far off, and in the end, nothing will happen at all.” Speaking of this, Lucius subconsciously clenched his fists, but after looking in Clarence’s direction, his resentment turned into a faint wry smile.
"Why did so many people get hurt in the end, Dumbledore?" Narcissa reached out to cover Lucius' clenched fist, comforting gently.
"How many people do you think can lure Dumbledore away?" Lucius shook his head helplessly: "Theodore was just in a coma, but Snape was fine because of Regulus' protection. Regulus The state of Les... Anyway, the therapist couldn't tell, so he went back to Black's old house. If he hadn't been so good at resisting poison, he was bitten so many times by Nagini, probably nothing but death Possibly. But it's all right now. The most troublesome thing is Sirius."
"Sirius was injured too? The newspaper didn't report it!" Narcissa covered her mouth in surprise: "Where is he?"
"The medical wing, the Order of the Phoenix is looking after it. We didn't come out when we went to ask for someone. He was hit by Cruciatus first, then fell from such a high sky, and was bitten by a snake. It seems that there are other spells hit, and remained unconscious."
"Has the Order of the Phoenix been reorganized?" Narcissa asked, "Why didn't you send Sirius here for treatment."
"The power attached to Bernard by the Dark Lord has escaped and is currently missing. It is probably still in England. The Death Eaters who defected before are not counted, because Clay was injured, and there are still people who are shaking. If the Violet Society really How could the Order of the Phoenix not show up because of Clay's accident?
"Didn't Sirius like to follow Dumbledore all the time? It shouldn't matter if they take care of him?" Narcissa asked puzzled, "Why do you make it sound like the Order of the Phoenix and the Order of the Violet are robbing people?"
"You don't understand, it's not that simple." Lucius shook his head: "The farce this time was actually because of Clay's initial scheduling, and the efforts of Clay and Regulus later, to keep the time. Dumbledore did nothing at all. But because Clay was in a coma at the beginning, public opinion shaped Dumbledore to be the one who decided the victory. If something happened to Clay, it would be fine. Forget it, in the end it was just that everyone continued to listen to Dumbledore's call to fight the Dark Lord. But the problem is that Clay woke up and nothing happened at all. Then
So, seeing that we are about to usher in a big battle, should Dumbledore decide, or should Clay command it?There is nothing wrong with Sirius itself, but it has become the focus of contention between the two organizations. "
"Then you are still hiding in St. Mungo's leisurely, shouldn't you let Clarence go back to Hogwarts?"
"The problem is that Sirius hasn't woken up yet. If he can't make a statement, even if Clay goes, there's nothing he can do about it. Although the fact that Sirius was expelled from the Violet Society by Clay was not widely announced, he stuck behind Clay. Some people have seen the act of flattering. Right now we can only start from the fight over who is the main hero in this incident. Therefore, Clay took a death curse and was still lying on St. Mungo, and Dumbledore Lively and frisky, which one is more resonant? Besides, there were indeed quite a few audiences that day."
"So you just let him act like a baby with you here?" Narcissa simply teased her.Lucius was silent, staring at the peeled apple in a daze, not speaking.
"Well, I don't laugh at you. If you ask me, since Clarence is really all right, you'd better go back to Poplar Cottage instead of staying in St. Mungo's full of people. Anyway, no one will really Dare to come to St. Mungo's to see if Clarence is really there."
"Yeah. I know."
******
Clarence stayed in St. Mungo's for three days after waking up, but the Duchess brought Emilia only once in the Lambert family.And according to Lucius, before he woke up, the Duchess had only visited once.
It is definitely a good thing for the Duke of Rezlan, who has never been able to accept Lucius, to agree to hand over the care of Clarence to him, but the good thing comes too suddenly, which makes people a little unbearable.
Not so long ago, Clarence did not know the advantages of having an older lover.But when he found out that even his unscrupulous acting like a baby could get a response, he was so happy.Basically no matter what he asked, Lucius only responded in one way, nodding, or nodding.
But after a long time, Clarence felt that this was not a good thing at all.Lucius treats him so well that it seems that the next second Clarence is going to give up the world.
It was obvious that Clarence was alive and kicking, but Lucius occasionally looked at him with a sense of cherishing that he didn't dare to look away.
It was only then that Clarence realized that for him, the fact that he was only unconscious for two days really scared Lucius.
That night when he returned to Poplar Cottage, Clarence rolled around on his big bed contentedly with Lucius in his arms.
"If, I mean, just if, I die before you, what will happen to you?" Clarence looked at Lucius who indulged himself and smiled very gently, and this thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
Lucius' body froze immediately.
"Uh, don't be nervous, I'm really just saying that if... I didn't mess around this time, I actually did it with some confidence." Clarence didn't react when he asked the question, but seeing Lucius' actions Only then did I realize that I had been struck by lightning: "Really, didn't it mean that the dragon skin is immune to magic, so I deliberately turned into Armanigues state to block it. I didn't have time to tell you at that time, and I made you worry. I'm sorry." Clarence quickly put his arms around him, comforting him unceasingly.
"You haven't tried it, how can you be sure that your Armanigus is a dragon? Didn't you say it's a lizard?" Clarence's bewilderment greatly eased Lucius' nervousness. Listening to his groundless nonsense, Lu Xius Hughes couldn't help being amused, rolled his eyes helplessly, and punched Clarence.
"Oh, your son knows that lizards don't have horns, okay?" Clarence pretended to be hurt, and stretched out his hand to rub the place where he was beaten: "I can still wake up if I block it, but if I don't block it, you can I'm really going to die. Isn't this a good decision?"
"No one said that dragons must be immune to the Killing Curse. What if you really die?" Lucius' voice gradually weakened.
"What are you afraid of? Anyway, if I die, you can find another lover." Seeing that Lucius' mood was about to sink again, Clarence quickly explained: "Anyway, you think I'm small and annoying. of."
"Yeah." Lucius looked at Clarence and replied seriously, "I'm afraid that if you die, I will be lonely."
Clarence was taken aback by Lucius' serious expression, and his green eyes were wide open without blinking, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lucius frowned inexplicably.
"I feel a little unbelievable. From knowing you, liking you to falling in love with you, I never thought that one day I would hear you admit that you are afraid of death like other people. I thought you would become angry and say proudly, 'A Malfoy is not afraid of being lonely', or something like that." Clarence blinked, feeling that what he had just heard was quite untrue.
Lucius raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, now that I know I'm an ordinary person, do you regret it?"
Clarence quickly shook his head and said, "Don't dare, but it's actually quite good, I like it. I thought I would never see such a gentle expression on Lucius Malfoy's face in my life. Very good Well, I was overjoyed, I was so surprised that no matter who, you don't mind!"
Listening to Clarence's funny explanation, Lucius smiled even wider, and the trace of fear in his heart just now was completely dispelled.Raising his head, Lucius met Clarence's gaze and paused every word very sincerely: "From now on, I will no longer care about things older than you. So you have to promise me, don't tell me again What if you die in love if I die. If that day comes, I hope you will live a good life. If you feel guilty, just use every day you live to think about me. Anyway, you didn’t Before I was born, I was also very boring, so it’s only fair that you have to experience it.”
Clarence didn't expect Lucius to say such words with such a calm expression, and was stunned for a moment, staring at Lucius for a long time, until the latter massaged the back of his neck a little stiffly because of the raised head .Clarence just raised a gentle smile as if he had just woken up from a dream, and reached out to help Lucius relax his tense neck and shoulders.When approaching Lucius' ear, Clarence said in a very helpless tone: "Honey, has anyone ever told you that you are really selfish?"
"What selfishness?" Lucius pushed Clarence dumbfounded: "I want you to live well or am I selfish?"
"It's nothing, let's not talk about this." Clarence said with a smile and turned the subject off.
"What are you planning to arrange tomorrow? Is it necessary to call everyone? Is it more efficient to call only twelve seats? We are also a bit chaotic these days." Lucius suggested seriously.
"I have something to do tomorrow morning, you go first, the plenary meeting, whatever they say, just listen to it. I will let Yvette take charge of the record. I will go there in the afternoon." Clarence said with a smile: "If you had told me about the Dark Mark earlier, I would have dealt with those who were prone to defection. Delaying it until now would actually give the Dark Lord his combat power."
"Those people actually won't have much influence. If the Dark Lord doesn't leave some manpower, he can only ask for foreign aid, which is even more difficult to control." Lucius immediately explained.
"You also said that I haven't planned to forgive you for hiding this matter from me. What on earth are you thinking? You came to the school knowing that you were the target of the Dark Lord! You actually ran in to be a referee! If I didn't make it in time Now, what should we do? If it wasn’t Sirius who was attacked in the first place, but you, do you think the Dark Lord would give you a chance to catch your breath? It’s too reckless!” Clarence couldn’t breathe. Call one.
This time it was Lucius' turn to shut up silently and dare not speak more.
"You can actually trust me a little more." Clarence said softly.
******
The number of members of the Violet Order is larger than that of the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters.There are not only big and small family leaders, but also some individual individuals, most of whom come from wizards of hemp seed or small families with few members.The main reason is that the members of the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters are basically combatants, but the Violet Order does not have such screening criteria.
The advantage of such a personnel composition is that it covers a wide range of areas, and as a complete whole, the division of labor is clear.The more complex intertwined interests also make it difficult for the organization to disintegrate.But it is not without shortcomings. Due to the huge organization structure, if there is not enough prestige to control it, it will become a mess when encountering some things.Although Clarence himself has accumulated a lot of prestige in the British wizarding world, as the leader of the Violet Society, he has not made any achievements so far.
That's why, when the Dark Mark revived, many Death Eaters who were considered disloyal by Lucius immediately changed their direction.These shrewd guys didn't have much confidence in the Violet Society.So, when the media reported that Clarence was killed by the Killing Curse during the Dark Lord's attack, everyone thought something was going to go wrong for the Violet Society.
When Clarence woke up, he found that not only Lucius' attitude towards him had changed.Even the attitude of the members of the Lambert family towards Lucius, the members of the Violet Society towards him, and even the officials of the Ministry of Magic all changed accordingly.
In fact, when he thought about Harry's status in the hearts of British wizards, Clarence understood the reason.Everyone has always believed that the Savior will be the final fateful enemy of the Dark Lord.But now, there is one more surviving curse list.
Whether as Winter or as Clarence, he treats the members of the Violet Society mainly with gentleness, and the most severe expression is nothing more than no expression.
But when Clarence walked into the Violet Society Council with a smile on his face, the noisy crowd fell silent for an instant.This can no longer be explained by strict discipline.Clarence could see obvious awe in some people.
When Clarence entered, everyone was already seated.Lucius sits at the right-hand chief, while the Duke of Razlan sits at the left-hand chief.
The two sides of the long table are divided into two sides according to the original two alliances, and they are clearly separated.Before Clarence entered, the two sides seemed to be arguing over some topic.The current situation is that, except for Clarence, the alliances on both sides only obey the six seats on their own side.Once there is a situation of cooperation between the two parties, without Clarence coming forward, it will not be possible to reach an agreement.
"Everyone is here, we can start." Old Rist, who was sitting next to the Duke of Rezlan, waited for the last two people who entered the door to sit down before saying to Clarence.
Clarence raised his eyebrows, looked around, and was about to speak.Yvette suddenly came in from the outside with a nervous expression, ready to walk towards the Duke of Rezlan.However, when he saw Clarence sitting in the room, he was obviously taken aback, but his footsteps stopped, and his tense expression turned into shock.
"What's the matter, Yvette, do you have any important information?" As everyone looked back, Clarence asked with a gentle expression.
"Uh, it's the message from the Ministry of Magic to the Deputy Director." Yvette stammered subconsciously before saying.
"Is it a secret? If not, it's okay to tell everyone." Clarence looked down at the thick stack of meeting minutes handed over by Lucius in front of him, flipping through it casually, with a tone that seemed unintentional.
The Duke of Rezlan was also at a loss, but he repeated it according to Clarence's meaning: "If it's not confidential, just say it directly."
"Uh..." Yvette took a deep breath, met everyone's gaze, and said in a low voice: "When the Ministry of Magic transferred Williams to the United States just now, Williams seemed to be from a high school. fell down and died."
"How could any wizard fall to his death?" Because Regulus hadn't recovered yet, he was absent from this meeting, and the person sitting next to Lucius became Parkinson.At this moment, he was laughing in an unbelievable tone.
"The information didn't say specifically, it only said that Mr. Williams broke his neck, so he died." Yvette swallowed, and subconsciously glanced at Clarence.
hiss--
In the venue, there was a sound of gasping for air.All of a sudden, the look in the chief's eyes became unbelievable.
☆, 140 arrangements
"It's a pity. I didn't expect Mr. Williams to encounter misfortune." Clarence roughly flipped through the meeting minutes on the table, and then broke the silence in the conference room: "Why are you all looking at me?"
Lucius frowned at Clarence, but no one dared to speak.
"When did Mr. Williams encounter misfortune?" Clarence turned to ask Yvette, who also doubted himself.
"This morning." Yvette dared not delay in replying immediately.
"I went to Black's old house to visit Regulus in the morning, and I took a look at the situation of the snake. I just left there just now." Clarence explained with a look of indifference: "Why did you hear that the neck was broken? I just think of me, and I don’t like doing it that much. It was just an emergency last time. Mr. Williams may have done something wrong, and the accident happened when he was in a trance. It’s nothing to be sorry for.”
Although Clarence said so, he could not control what the people present thought.Yvette gets clarified
Those who can enter this competition are all students, and the objects controlled by the Dark Lord Seizing Soul are naturally also students.The magic power of the students is limited, and the number of snakes is naturally not large.It's just that the actions of these snakes are more controlled, and the students on Clarence's side panicked when they saw so many snakes, and most of their spells missed.
After all, Clarence was alone, and the defensive area was limited. Seeing this, the controlled poisonous snakes scattered around and attacked from the outside of the students' unsophisticated defensive circle. After a while, a gap was torn open.Two Salem students were bitten on the feet by a poisonous snake and fell to the ground in an instant, life and death uncertain.
Where did the students see such a scene, their defenses became weaker immediately.
"Don't be afraid, step back and aim the spell. That should be a paralyzing toxin. Phew, the poison of killing is not so fast." Clarence was protecting a group of students, and could only block the loopholes on both sides, expending a lot of physical strength in a short while .
"This won't work. We won't be able to stop the attackers before we force them out." Williams shouted anxiously, "What should we do?"
"Go and defend Hogwarts with Lucius, leave this to me." Clarence gritted his teeth and pushed Williams away.
The group of people around them faced the group of snakes, and naturally Clarence had the strongest fighting power, followed by Lucius.In addition, including Williams, seeing the snake wave is a bit scary, and it is good to maintain half of the usual level.In contrast, because Hogwarts is more obedient to Clarence, it is not like Salem's retreat.
But it is impossible for Clarence to leave the students in Salem alone. In this system, everything that happens inside can be seen from the outside. If Clarence leaves these Americans behind, maybe after he gets out, he will It has escalated into a diplomatic issue between the British wizarding community and the American wizarding community.Such troubles might become an obstacle in solving the Dark Lord's plan in the next step.
But Williams is also extremely prestigious among the students in Salem. If he is not dismissed, even if Clarence wants to direct these students, there will be no way to achieve results.
Williams hesitated, but moved obediently.After he left, the students in Salem were slightly huddled under Clarence's order, barely resisting the poisonous snake's attack.
The snakes summoned by magic are originally consumables. If the defense side is stabilized, the poisonous snakes are not really endless after all.Probably realizing that the large-scale attack had no effect, the group of poisonous snakes changed direction again, focusing on Clarence and attacking.
Seeing the sound of pressure, the students in Salem didn't care about helping Clarence, and immediately fled backwards. Clarence, who was originally at the peak of the team, was separated from the team in an instant, and fell into the trap alone. Siege.With artificial control of this group of poisonous snakes, there is no time difference that can be used in large quantities, and Clarence's situation is suddenly precarious.
Because there were no more attackers outside, the speed at which the smoke screen was cleared was greatly increased, and the situation inside the venue was revealed in a short while.Before the audience who saw the situation had time to cheer for Clarence's action to save the Salem students, the next second, they all scolded the Salem students for their selfish behavior.
Seeing Clarence's figure almost being submerged by the snakes, Lucius' heart almost stopped beating: "Jeffrey, lead the people back, I'll help Clay." Hughes immediately turned back to rescue Clarence.
The snake group didn't make any movement about the students' departure, but as soon as Lucius appeared, the snake group immediately divided their number in half and changed their attack target.
"Stupid you, he was going to kill both of us, why are you rushing up!" Clarence became anxious after the pressure eased.
******
On the edge of the field, Snape was exhausted by Nagini's pursuit. As a magic snake, Nagini's attack power is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary snakes.In the beginning, Snape wasted a lot of energy in order to avoid Nagini because of the obstructed vision.By the time everyone saw his situation clearly and rushed over, Snape was already at a complete disadvantage.
The Auror fired a few spells from a distance, but Nagini either dodged them, or sparked a small spark on her scales, which was neither painful nor itchy, and didn't even have a hindering effect.
hiss--
Snape didn't expect that Nagini could slow down and paralyze himself in front of him. Suddenly Nagini increased his speed, and Snape had no time to react. He saw Nagini change direction rapidly, and rushed towards him with a bloody mouth. Come.
puff--
With the muffled sound of sharp teeth piercing into the flesh, Nagini's venom instantly stained most of the body of the target he bit into green.
Snape watched helplessly as Regulus rushed from nowhere and sent himself to Nagini's mouth.
"Partition, save Clay." Regulus' voice was still cold and emotionless, as if the snake head biting his shoulder didn't exist at all, but with just a few words, blood gushed out from the wound, staining red A light-colored robe.
Holding the snake's body for seven inches with both hands, his arms suddenly bulged with obvious gnarled muscles, forcefully twisted the giant snake wrapped around his body, and threw it aside heavily.
Nagini turned his head again, bit the arm that Regulus brought to his mouth again, his teeth only pierced halfway through the muscle before being stuck.
Snape, who got away, turned his head and went to open the partition of the reality system.
******
Compared with the wizards in Salem, Jeffrey's performance can be described as stunning.
After the Hogwarts students were out of danger, they instantly became jealous when they saw the two people trapped in the siege.They just exchanged glances with each other, rolled up their sleeves, followed Jeffrey and fell back.
When there is no defensive pressure and wanton offense, these students are simply extraordinary.If the aim is good, attack the group of snakes ejected into the air; if the aim is not good, just aim at the group of snakes on the ground and release the body to pieces.
Lucius, who was closest to the students, was relieved of most of his predicament in a blink of an eye.
When Williams saw his classmate abandoning Clarence, he was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.At this time, he immediately turned around to help without hesitation.
"You bastards!" The sinister voice finally turned from behind the hillside, revealing the appearance of the attacker.
"Bernard?!" Originally, because the black shadow came from Durmstrang's area, everyone thought that the attacker was from a student of Durmstrang, but unexpectedly it was a member of Beauxbatons.
"Stupid!" While the students next to him were still surprised by the identity of the attacker, Lucius shot without hesitation.
"Traitor." Bernard, or the Dark Lord who has taken over Bernard's body, waved his hand to block Lucius' spell: "A stun spell, Lucius, you are really backwards, I taught you What about the black magic?"
"To pieces." Lucius couldn't help but tremble the moment the Dark Lord spoke, but the spell under his hand didn't stop.
"What, you're so timid after you've been cleansed? I'll settle accounts with you traitors one by one over the past few years." The Dark Lord quickly fired a spell, causing the poisonous snakes to scatter and attack the students behind, leaving only Using Lucius as his opponent: "Crucio!"
As soon as Lucius dodged, the spell happened to hit a Hogwarts student behind him.The student's scream made Lucius' body stiff, and he finally failed to dodge when faced with the second red spell, and fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.
The Dark Lord let out a jerky laugh, raised his hand and made another note: "Why don't you hide? The fun is yet to come, my old friend."
"Lucius!" Clarence escaped from the siege of poisonous snakes with the help of Williams, and immediately rushed to Lucius.
"Don't worry, it will be your turn later!" The Dark Lord waved two spells to stop Clarence, who was about to approach, pointing his wand straight at him, and the Dark Lord smiled strangely again: "Look at what you are holding, a Wizard, actually dropped his wand."
"isa" Clarence swung the dagger with his right hand, and the light blue light accelerated the dagger instantly, heading straight for the Dark Lord.The latter threw two spells in a row, but failed to stop the dagger.After throwing the dagger, Clarence took out his wand, spit out short words one after another, and the light brown tip of the wand sprayed light with an unprecedented frequency.
Because the Dark Lord underestimated the enemy in the face of the first wave of dagger attacks, he was forced to be in a hurry by a large number of short and fast spells.
At this moment, the partition membrane finally shattered, and all the Aurors who had been watching outside rushed over in an instant.
"Avada Kedavra!" The Dark Lord's face darkened for an instant, he forcibly carried a spell from Clarence, and finally threw the spell at Lucius who fell to the ground.Immediately, before the Aurors completed the siege, Bernard's figure shrank, and a transparent force took advantage of the gap to escape.
Because of Clarence's attack, Lucius was relieved from the continuous torture of the Dark Lord. When he heard the incantation of the Killing Curse, Lucius got up and wanted to dodge.
At this moment, Williams said in his ear: "Let your strength go." Lucius, who had just raised his arm, was unprepared and was hit directly.
In the terrified eyes of everyone, Lucius embraced the green light that was shooting at him, and a thicker golden light, fell heavily, and was hit by a huge force so that he rolled back twice.
The strong impact made Lucius dizzy, and the pressure of gravity on his body instantly pulled his vague consciousness back to the world.
A soft golden animal with a familiar shape and a soft height approaching a person was pressed silently in Lucius' arms.
Lucius opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, the golden animal began to slowly change back to his original form, blond hair and blue robe.
"Clay!!"
☆, 139 attitude
The corridors of St. Mungo's fifth floor were empty, and the doors to most of the rooms were tightly shut.
Narcissa took Draco and Harry to the fifth floor, and after asking the room number, she walked to the room at the end of the corridor.
There was a large transparent window facing the corridor in the ward. At this time, the curtain of this window was pulled up high, and the bright sunlight coming in from the other side made the room extraordinarily refreshing.
"Well, I want to read a book."
"Okay, here we go."
"I want to eat an apple, and I want you to peel it yourself."
"okay."
Narcissa was the last to enter the room and closed the door behind her.Turning around, she heard this conversation that made her laugh and cry.
Clarence was lying on the bed with a big smile on his face, and Lucius was busy throwing an apple peeling knife beside him.
"You guys are really enough." Narcissa held her forehead weakly: "How about acting for me?"
"Clay!" Without waiting for Narcissa to nod in agreement, the two children rushed to the side of Clarence's bed from left to right.
"Why did you bring these two guys here? It's not safe outside." Clarence asked Narcissa while carrying the two children on the hospital bed which was not wide.
"Xiaolong heard that you were injured, so he insisted on coming. The Aurors also said that it's okay to come."
"I heard that I'm going back to school in a few days, so I'm in a hurry to see my Armanigus. I didn't suffer any injuries, so there's nothing to visit." Clarence tapped Draco's Head: "I don't know what you're thinking yet. Hmph!"
"Hey, Clay, show me, they all say your Armanigus is a dragon. I've never seen a real dragon, let me see." Draco stared at Clara with shining eyes Lens.
"Mine is a lizard, not a dragon. Who are you listening to nonsense?" Clarence rolled his eyes, but he did as the two children wished, and in a blink of an eye he turned into the soft golden strip that Lucius had hugged before. Creature, spread out on the bed.
"Hey, Harry, look, Clay has horns, it's really a dragon!" Draco reached out to poke the two small horns on Clarence's head, but Clarence dodged it with a shake of his head. In the past, she grinned at him as if to bite.
"Give us a touch, Clay." Draco got into the quilt unwillingly, insisting on grabbing the corner.
In fact, Clarence obviously meant to play with the two children. Narcissa sighed, went to put down the curtains on the other side of the corridor, and sat next to Lucius, instructing him to peel apples while talking: "Clarence How is Lens doing, are you really all right?"
"Well, I was in a coma for two days, and then I returned to normal." Lucius nodded, his tone was calm, and he didn't explain much.
Narcissa choked for a moment, although the words were simple, she could still guess the time of 'being in a coma for two days'. For Lucius, it was definitely not as simple as what he said now.
Before the Dark Lord left, Avada Kedavra seemed random, but with the cooperation of Williams next to him, it was basically a blow that was bound to be won.It just didn't occur to Clarence that before Williams attacked Lucius, he had subconsciously rushed over.Williams' slack force hit Lucius, but the death curse was blocked by Clarence in Armanigues state.
Holding Clarence, who was beaten back to his original form directly from the situation of Armanigues, hanging limply on his body, Lucius almost went crazy on the spot.
If it hadn't been stopped by Snape who rushed over from behind, Lucius might have killed Williams directly with Avada Kedav.
Then came Clarence's next coma, being sent to St Mungo's for treatment.For the coma caused by the death curse, no healer can do anything.Lucius stayed by the bed and took care of him for two days without sleep. When Clarence woke up without warning, Lucius who was by the bed collapsed and cried.After tossing Clarence, who had finally woken up, in a hurry, this trouble is over.
"What happened afterwards, those people." Narcissa asked softly.
"What do you say outside?" Lucius also felt a little stupid after peeling an apple, and directed the knife to continue working by himself, sighing.
"The report from the Daily Prophet is so exaggerated that I don't know whether to believe it or not. At first, there were tabloids saying that Clarence was dead, and then the Ministry of Magic immediately came out to clarify that it was just a coma. Who doesn't know the coma caused by the death curse It's no different from being dead. Fortunately, it was confirmed that Clarence woke up in two days. According to the tone of the Prophet's propaganda, if Clarence doesn't wake up, there will be riots outside. The Aurors have not let We're going out, so we can only get information from the newspapers. Snape is busy taking care of Regulus, you are busy taking care of Clarence, and the Lambert family is busy dealing with the Ministry of Magic and the media. It’s a mess.” Narcissa sighed: “Xiaolong and Harry were also scared to tears by these reports, and they really thought that something happened to Clarence, so he had to make a fuss. Then the Aurors just nodded and let us come out today.”
"It's not exaggerating, it's actually pretty much the same." Lucius smiled wryly, "If Clay hadn't woken up in time."
"What happened after that day?" Narcissa didn't attend the finals at all in order to take care of her two children, and she has been forced to stay at home since then.
"The Dark Lord has escaped. The child named Bernard is innocent, but the memory of being captured is still there, and he has been sent back to France for treatment. The students of Beauxbaton and Durmstrang are all Bitten by a poisonous snake, but it’s okay, just injured. After detoxification, you should be fine. The students in Salem are probably more miserable. First, the matter of leaving Clarence, and then that... Williams is sober, yes I confessed my crimes very simply. I am not a member of the Dark Lord, but I was simply bewitched and wanted me to die. I may still be sent back to the United States for trial. Although the power of the Williams family in the United States is not as powerful as that of Lan Burt is in England, but it’s not too far off, and in the end, nothing will happen at all.” Speaking of this, Lucius subconsciously clenched his fists, but after looking in Clarence’s direction, his resentment turned into a faint wry smile.
"Why did so many people get hurt in the end, Dumbledore?" Narcissa reached out to cover Lucius' clenched fist, comforting gently.
"How many people do you think can lure Dumbledore away?" Lucius shook his head helplessly: "Theodore was just in a coma, but Snape was fine because of Regulus' protection. Regulus The state of Les... Anyway, the therapist couldn't tell, so he went back to Black's old house. If he hadn't been so good at resisting poison, he was bitten so many times by Nagini, probably nothing but death Possibly. But it's all right now. The most troublesome thing is Sirius."
"Sirius was injured too? The newspaper didn't report it!" Narcissa covered her mouth in surprise: "Where is he?"
"The medical wing, the Order of the Phoenix is looking after it. We didn't come out when we went to ask for someone. He was hit by Cruciatus first, then fell from such a high sky, and was bitten by a snake. It seems that there are other spells hit, and remained unconscious."
"Has the Order of the Phoenix been reorganized?" Narcissa asked, "Why didn't you send Sirius here for treatment."
"The power attached to Bernard by the Dark Lord has escaped and is currently missing. It is probably still in England. The Death Eaters who defected before are not counted, because Clay was injured, and there are still people who are shaking. If the Violet Society really How could the Order of the Phoenix not show up because of Clay's accident?
"Didn't Sirius like to follow Dumbledore all the time? It shouldn't matter if they take care of him?" Narcissa asked puzzled, "Why do you make it sound like the Order of the Phoenix and the Order of the Violet are robbing people?"
"You don't understand, it's not that simple." Lucius shook his head: "The farce this time was actually because of Clay's initial scheduling, and the efforts of Clay and Regulus later, to keep the time. Dumbledore did nothing at all. But because Clay was in a coma at the beginning, public opinion shaped Dumbledore to be the one who decided the victory. If something happened to Clay, it would be fine. Forget it, in the end it was just that everyone continued to listen to Dumbledore's call to fight the Dark Lord. But the problem is that Clay woke up and nothing happened at all. Then
So, seeing that we are about to usher in a big battle, should Dumbledore decide, or should Clay command it?There is nothing wrong with Sirius itself, but it has become the focus of contention between the two organizations. "
"Then you are still hiding in St. Mungo's leisurely, shouldn't you let Clarence go back to Hogwarts?"
"The problem is that Sirius hasn't woken up yet. If he can't make a statement, even if Clay goes, there's nothing he can do about it. Although the fact that Sirius was expelled from the Violet Society by Clay was not widely announced, he stuck behind Clay. Some people have seen the act of flattering. Right now we can only start from the fight over who is the main hero in this incident. Therefore, Clay took a death curse and was still lying on St. Mungo, and Dumbledore Lively and frisky, which one is more resonant? Besides, there were indeed quite a few audiences that day."
"So you just let him act like a baby with you here?" Narcissa simply teased her.Lucius was silent, staring at the peeled apple in a daze, not speaking.
"Well, I don't laugh at you. If you ask me, since Clarence is really all right, you'd better go back to Poplar Cottage instead of staying in St. Mungo's full of people. Anyway, no one will really Dare to come to St. Mungo's to see if Clarence is really there."
"Yeah. I know."
******
Clarence stayed in St. Mungo's for three days after waking up, but the Duchess brought Emilia only once in the Lambert family.And according to Lucius, before he woke up, the Duchess had only visited once.
It is definitely a good thing for the Duke of Rezlan, who has never been able to accept Lucius, to agree to hand over the care of Clarence to him, but the good thing comes too suddenly, which makes people a little unbearable.
Not so long ago, Clarence did not know the advantages of having an older lover.But when he found out that even his unscrupulous acting like a baby could get a response, he was so happy.Basically no matter what he asked, Lucius only responded in one way, nodding, or nodding.
But after a long time, Clarence felt that this was not a good thing at all.Lucius treats him so well that it seems that the next second Clarence is going to give up the world.
It was obvious that Clarence was alive and kicking, but Lucius occasionally looked at him with a sense of cherishing that he didn't dare to look away.
It was only then that Clarence realized that for him, the fact that he was only unconscious for two days really scared Lucius.
That night when he returned to Poplar Cottage, Clarence rolled around on his big bed contentedly with Lucius in his arms.
"If, I mean, just if, I die before you, what will happen to you?" Clarence looked at Lucius who indulged himself and smiled very gently, and this thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
Lucius' body froze immediately.
"Uh, don't be nervous, I'm really just saying that if... I didn't mess around this time, I actually did it with some confidence." Clarence didn't react when he asked the question, but seeing Lucius' actions Only then did I realize that I had been struck by lightning: "Really, didn't it mean that the dragon skin is immune to magic, so I deliberately turned into Armanigues state to block it. I didn't have time to tell you at that time, and I made you worry. I'm sorry." Clarence quickly put his arms around him, comforting him unceasingly.
"You haven't tried it, how can you be sure that your Armanigus is a dragon? Didn't you say it's a lizard?" Clarence's bewilderment greatly eased Lucius' nervousness. Listening to his groundless nonsense, Lu Xius Hughes couldn't help being amused, rolled his eyes helplessly, and punched Clarence.
"Oh, your son knows that lizards don't have horns, okay?" Clarence pretended to be hurt, and stretched out his hand to rub the place where he was beaten: "I can still wake up if I block it, but if I don't block it, you can I'm really going to die. Isn't this a good decision?"
"No one said that dragons must be immune to the Killing Curse. What if you really die?" Lucius' voice gradually weakened.
"What are you afraid of? Anyway, if I die, you can find another lover." Seeing that Lucius' mood was about to sink again, Clarence quickly explained: "Anyway, you think I'm small and annoying. of."
"Yeah." Lucius looked at Clarence and replied seriously, "I'm afraid that if you die, I will be lonely."
Clarence was taken aback by Lucius' serious expression, and his green eyes were wide open without blinking, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lucius frowned inexplicably.
"I feel a little unbelievable. From knowing you, liking you to falling in love with you, I never thought that one day I would hear you admit that you are afraid of death like other people. I thought you would become angry and say proudly, 'A Malfoy is not afraid of being lonely', or something like that." Clarence blinked, feeling that what he had just heard was quite untrue.
Lucius raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, now that I know I'm an ordinary person, do you regret it?"
Clarence quickly shook his head and said, "Don't dare, but it's actually quite good, I like it. I thought I would never see such a gentle expression on Lucius Malfoy's face in my life. Very good Well, I was overjoyed, I was so surprised that no matter who, you don't mind!"
Listening to Clarence's funny explanation, Lucius smiled even wider, and the trace of fear in his heart just now was completely dispelled.Raising his head, Lucius met Clarence's gaze and paused every word very sincerely: "From now on, I will no longer care about things older than you. So you have to promise me, don't tell me again What if you die in love if I die. If that day comes, I hope you will live a good life. If you feel guilty, just use every day you live to think about me. Anyway, you didn’t Before I was born, I was also very boring, so it’s only fair that you have to experience it.”
Clarence didn't expect Lucius to say such words with such a calm expression, and was stunned for a moment, staring at Lucius for a long time, until the latter massaged the back of his neck a little stiffly because of the raised head .Clarence just raised a gentle smile as if he had just woken up from a dream, and reached out to help Lucius relax his tense neck and shoulders.When approaching Lucius' ear, Clarence said in a very helpless tone: "Honey, has anyone ever told you that you are really selfish?"
"What selfishness?" Lucius pushed Clarence dumbfounded: "I want you to live well or am I selfish?"
"It's nothing, let's not talk about this." Clarence said with a smile and turned the subject off.
"What are you planning to arrange tomorrow? Is it necessary to call everyone? Is it more efficient to call only twelve seats? We are also a bit chaotic these days." Lucius suggested seriously.
"I have something to do tomorrow morning, you go first, the plenary meeting, whatever they say, just listen to it. I will let Yvette take charge of the record. I will go there in the afternoon." Clarence said with a smile: "If you had told me about the Dark Mark earlier, I would have dealt with those who were prone to defection. Delaying it until now would actually give the Dark Lord his combat power."
"Those people actually won't have much influence. If the Dark Lord doesn't leave some manpower, he can only ask for foreign aid, which is even more difficult to control." Lucius immediately explained.
"You also said that I haven't planned to forgive you for hiding this matter from me. What on earth are you thinking? You came to the school knowing that you were the target of the Dark Lord! You actually ran in to be a referee! If I didn't make it in time Now, what should we do? If it wasn’t Sirius who was attacked in the first place, but you, do you think the Dark Lord would give you a chance to catch your breath? It’s too reckless!” Clarence couldn’t breathe. Call one.
This time it was Lucius' turn to shut up silently and dare not speak more.
"You can actually trust me a little more." Clarence said softly.
******
The number of members of the Violet Order is larger than that of the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters.There are not only big and small family leaders, but also some individual individuals, most of whom come from wizards of hemp seed or small families with few members.The main reason is that the members of the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters are basically combatants, but the Violet Order does not have such screening criteria.
The advantage of such a personnel composition is that it covers a wide range of areas, and as a complete whole, the division of labor is clear.The more complex intertwined interests also make it difficult for the organization to disintegrate.But it is not without shortcomings. Due to the huge organization structure, if there is not enough prestige to control it, it will become a mess when encountering some things.Although Clarence himself has accumulated a lot of prestige in the British wizarding world, as the leader of the Violet Society, he has not made any achievements so far.
That's why, when the Dark Mark revived, many Death Eaters who were considered disloyal by Lucius immediately changed their direction.These shrewd guys didn't have much confidence in the Violet Society.So, when the media reported that Clarence was killed by the Killing Curse during the Dark Lord's attack, everyone thought something was going to go wrong for the Violet Society.
When Clarence woke up, he found that not only Lucius' attitude towards him had changed.Even the attitude of the members of the Lambert family towards Lucius, the members of the Violet Society towards him, and even the officials of the Ministry of Magic all changed accordingly.
In fact, when he thought about Harry's status in the hearts of British wizards, Clarence understood the reason.Everyone has always believed that the Savior will be the final fateful enemy of the Dark Lord.But now, there is one more surviving curse list.
Whether as Winter or as Clarence, he treats the members of the Violet Society mainly with gentleness, and the most severe expression is nothing more than no expression.
But when Clarence walked into the Violet Society Council with a smile on his face, the noisy crowd fell silent for an instant.This can no longer be explained by strict discipline.Clarence could see obvious awe in some people.
When Clarence entered, everyone was already seated.Lucius sits at the right-hand chief, while the Duke of Razlan sits at the left-hand chief.
The two sides of the long table are divided into two sides according to the original two alliances, and they are clearly separated.Before Clarence entered, the two sides seemed to be arguing over some topic.The current situation is that, except for Clarence, the alliances on both sides only obey the six seats on their own side.Once there is a situation of cooperation between the two parties, without Clarence coming forward, it will not be possible to reach an agreement.
"Everyone is here, we can start." Old Rist, who was sitting next to the Duke of Rezlan, waited for the last two people who entered the door to sit down before saying to Clarence.
Clarence raised his eyebrows, looked around, and was about to speak.Yvette suddenly came in from the outside with a nervous expression, ready to walk towards the Duke of Rezlan.However, when he saw Clarence sitting in the room, he was obviously taken aback, but his footsteps stopped, and his tense expression turned into shock.
"What's the matter, Yvette, do you have any important information?" As everyone looked back, Clarence asked with a gentle expression.
"Uh, it's the message from the Ministry of Magic to the Deputy Director." Yvette stammered subconsciously before saying.
"Is it a secret? If not, it's okay to tell everyone." Clarence looked down at the thick stack of meeting minutes handed over by Lucius in front of him, flipping through it casually, with a tone that seemed unintentional.
The Duke of Rezlan was also at a loss, but he repeated it according to Clarence's meaning: "If it's not confidential, just say it directly."
"Uh..." Yvette took a deep breath, met everyone's gaze, and said in a low voice: "When the Ministry of Magic transferred Williams to the United States just now, Williams seemed to be from a high school. fell down and died."
"How could any wizard fall to his death?" Because Regulus hadn't recovered yet, he was absent from this meeting, and the person sitting next to Lucius became Parkinson.At this moment, he was laughing in an unbelievable tone.
"The information didn't say specifically, it only said that Mr. Williams broke his neck, so he died." Yvette swallowed, and subconsciously glanced at Clarence.
hiss--
In the venue, there was a sound of gasping for air.All of a sudden, the look in the chief's eyes became unbelievable.
☆, 140 arrangements
"It's a pity. I didn't expect Mr. Williams to encounter misfortune." Clarence roughly flipped through the meeting minutes on the table, and then broke the silence in the conference room: "Why are you all looking at me?"
Lucius frowned at Clarence, but no one dared to speak.
"When did Mr. Williams encounter misfortune?" Clarence turned to ask Yvette, who also doubted himself.
"This morning." Yvette dared not delay in replying immediately.
"I went to Black's old house to visit Regulus in the morning, and I took a look at the situation of the snake. I just left there just now." Clarence explained with a look of indifference: "Why did you hear that the neck was broken? I just think of me, and I don’t like doing it that much. It was just an emergency last time. Mr. Williams may have done something wrong, and the accident happened when he was in a trance. It’s nothing to be sorry for.”
Although Clarence said so, he could not control what the people present thought.Yvette gets clarified
