HP's Platinum Temptation

When he saw the exquisite brooch lying quietly in the gift box, Clarence felt that his brain was not enough.

"Lucius Malfoy?" Jeffrey couldn't help but widen his eyes after seeing the cursive characters clearly. He looked around and asked in a low voice, "Why would he give you a gift? A birthday present?"

Snapped--

Clarence quickly closed the box, pulled Jeffrey and quickly left the auditorium.

Wendell, who was sitting diagonally opposite Clarence, glanced at him calmly, without any movement in his hands, as if the eyes looking at Clarence were really just casually sweeping.

After a week of nervous preparation, the first membership ceremony of the Violet Club was finally held.Clarence, who hurried to the activity room, didn't even have time to worry about the new gift he just received, so he got into intense work.

Although after the first public class, many people asked for membership forms.But the number of people who finally confirmed their intention to join the club was not many.None of Gryffindor's students; Hufflepuff's are mainly Theodore's senior friends and two first years; Slytherin's participants are only Baker and his four, and Ravenclaw The most, there are seven students in total, four first graders, two second graders and one fourth grader.The total number is seventeen.

In the large classroom, all the tables and chairs were moved to the two sides, and Theodore stood at the front, facing everyone.The four original members including Clarence stood at the front, and the other seventeen newcomers lined up behind them.All of them held a letter of oath in their hands, and a badge with a violet pattern.

"Magic makes me different. I am proud of being a wizard. Focus on learning every kind of knowledge, use my power correctly, treat every wizard sincerely, and choose my own path seriously. Equality and freedom, honesty And glory. I swear by my magical power, and from today onwards, I will be a member of the Violet Society, and I will take the glory of the wizarding world as my duty."

As everyone took the oath, the parchment on which the oath was written was burned to ashes.With the simple oath charm, different magic symbols appear in the blank space in the center of the violet emblem.

"Huh, all right! From now on, everyone is a family!" Theo's serious face faded instantly when he read the oath: "Come on, let's enter the tea time! Please our club secretary Daphne Miss Virgil explained to us the daily arrangement of the club, everyone applauds!"

With an unscrupulous president like Theodore, the atmosphere of the club members is also extraordinarily relaxed and free.Everyone smiled and put on their badges, and walked to the discussion area to take their seats.Enjoy the handicap that Shaq prepared for everyone in advance.

Daphne was a little nervous and picked up the introduction that she had prepared a long time ago and practiced until she knew it by heart.She stood in the middle of the discussion area, pulled the front of the school robe in front of her a little nervously, trying to straighten the folds that did not exist, and then cleared her throat and said: "We have a total of 22 members now, so The space is very large. Usually, except for the time to prepare for the public class, the activity room is divided into two areas, the inside is the study area, with bookshelves, tables and chairs. You can come to the activity room for self-study at any time. You can put Books such as my own experience are put on the bookshelf for all members to read. Now this half is a discussion area, where everyone can discuss things in study or life. There will be a soundproof spell between the two areas. We There will be an all-member meeting to discuss plans for the next month. If there is an induction ceremony for new members, it will also be held on this day. For the rest of November until the Christmas break, we have only one learning exchange event scheduled The last weekend before the holidays."

"Don't be nervous, Daphne. We don't have many people right now. In the future, many people will definitely join our club. Don't be nervous until then!"

"Yes, yes, we will try our best to attract friends to join the club, you are our club secretary, don't be nervous!"

"Oh, don't say that. Freshmen will definitely be nervous, and they will definitely not be in the future. Just wait and see, Daphne is a very strict person! When she gets to know you well, you will miss her now It's gone." Jeffrey followed other new members to make jokes about Daphne, and the last remark in a not-so-secret tone caused Daphne to throw her nervousness out of the blue in a blink of an eye, and glared at Jeffrey with a vicious look.It made everyone laugh.

Clarence walked aside silently while everyone was talking happily, and took out the gift from his schoolbag that he hadn't had time to seriously look at in the morning.

Lucius Malfoy, when he silently read the signature of the gift box, he felt his heart skip a beat.Immediately, that handsome face that contained some fatigue and melancholy, but was still astonishingly beautiful appeared in his mind.

The brooch is a very gorgeous violet pattern.The petals are made of blue crystal, and the flower bones are finely crafted gold-painted solid wood.If you look closely, you can still smell a faint fragrance coming from the wood.

There is only a thin greeting card in the gift box, which simply says happy birthday, and it also has the function of a brooch.Violet petal crystals contain a touch of energy and are crafted with a simple refreshing spell to refresh the wearer.

Beyond that, there isn't even a single letter of explanation as to why the giver knew of Clarence's birthday, or why he gave the gift.The simple words and sentences are full of natural taste, as if the relationship between the two should be like this.

But in fact, except for that 'bump' that only Clarence knew clearly.Lucius Malfoy and Clarence Lambert have nothing to do with a Nat.Neither the Malfoys nor the Lamberts have any friendship.

No matter from which angle you think about it, this gift came too inexplicably.

Probably due to a psychological effect, Clarence only felt that the aroma in his nose was the same as the aroma on Lucius' body back then.Thinking of this, the situation at that time seemed to be decomposed into countless rich details, and the sweeping back and forth crushed his reason.

'Where is he?What kind of person is he?Why does he know my birthday?Why did he give me a birthday present?Does he know that the person he met was me?Will he mingle with other people in the family? '

All of a sudden, countless questions surged out of his consciousness.Clarence was in a state of total inability to think calmly.The brooch lying quietly in the palm of the hand seemed to be emitting scorching heat, but it made people reluctant to let go.

The distraught Clarence only felt that the only thing he needed now was to understand this man and everything related to him.

Pulling out the letter paper, Clarence only scribbled down the process of receiving the gift and a description of everything inside the gift box.Then he copied the letter into four copies and sent them to his father, Terrence, Dana and old Lister respectively.

The moment he sent the letter, Clarence's only thought was to regret that he hadn't collected and learned everything about this man sooner.It never occurred to him that when he was still hesitating about his feelings for Lucius, he would receive such a blockbuster from the other party.

The Duke of Rezlan's reply was very brief, and he hardly knew anything about the head of the Malfoy family.Regarding the issue of gifts, His Excellency the Duke tends to characterize them as polite.

The other three responded much longer.Terrence had no clue about the purpose of the gift, so he chose to introduce his impression of this six-year classmate in detail:

"Mr. Malfoy is a very good student, and this point does not need to be emphasized again. Apart from prejudice against Slytherin or Death Eaters, he does not have many bad reviews. But I have to say that Mr. Malfoy He has never been seen as an enthusiastic person. So I completely disagree with Dad's conjecture. As far as the friendship between the two families is concerned, there is no need for Mr. Malfoy to be polite. Your birthday is not rare I know, after all, it has been known to everyone a few days ago. But I think it is the key to tell the news to Mr. Malfoy. I heard from my father that the only recent move by the business alliance is your birthday present. And The family has not had any contact with Mr. Malfoy recently. Therefore, there is no reason why Mr. Malfoy suddenly wanted to give you a gift when he learned the information from outside the school. If possible, find a way to find out this key person, which may help you Speculate on the truth of the matter. In any case, giving gifts will not mean anything other than a gesture of favor. It is suggested to ask the mother to give gifts to the children of the Malfoy family at Christmas, if Mr. Malfoy has children."

The tone of Dana's reply was rather surprised. He also witnessed the arrival of the owl in the morning, but he didn't expect that it would be a gift giver outside the business alliance: "The Malfoy family has kept a lot of low-key in the past two years. Recently, the Medici family held several The Malfoy family only attended the banquet once. Mr. Medici obviously complained about it. The implication is that the Malfoy family is no longer the status it used to be, and there is no need to put on such a high profile and suffer. On the surface, The Malfoy family seems to have an attitude of not caring about world affairs. At least the information interpreted by most families is so. However, judging from the fact that none of us have received the information, this gift should be a secret act. Otherwise, at the time Little Mr. Medici will not be unresponsive. We don't know any families that are still friendly with the Malfoy family, so it is difficult to determine how Mr. Malfoy learned about your birthday."

In contrast, the most serious reply was Mr. Old Lister.His replies are also the fastest.Compared with the time when Clarence asked for advice about Lorenzo, he paid much more attention to it.

If it is said that the old Mr. Lister's attitude towards the Medici family can be regarded as not too concerned.Regardless of the speed of the reply or the number of words in the reply, he seemed very cautious about Malfoy's move.

The old Mr. Lister's letter began with a strong emphasis on a sentence: "It's not too early to make money, Lucius Malfoy definitely has a plan!"
