HP's Platinum Temptation

In response, Clarence rolled his eyes, and Terrence made a vicious decision to carry the blow to the end: "Even if everyone finds out that Dad is not the final leader, at most they will only suspect Theodore or me. After all, such a big The age difference exists, and no one will think of you. Surely this is the cunning and treachery of Slytherin?"

"Ah, when it comes to the age issue, I remembered something." Clarence, who was not willing to let Terrence's little idea succeed, thought of a good way to fight back.

Clarence suddenly couldn't help laughing, and turned to the Duchess who hadn't spoken until now: "Mom, I didn't know until I went to school that most wizarding families rarely have more than three children. As far as I know, only our family still has three children." There is the Weasley family in Gryffindor. Although their family has more children than ours, there are seven in total. I heard that the youngest child was just born last year. But the oldest, Mr. Bill Weasley, also Just the same age as me. But look at our family, Terrence and Alvira are 20 years apart. When I listed our four birth dates on the paper, I wanted to say that, we Your parents are amazing!"

"Boy, are you making fun of your mother?" The Duchess laughed out loud after hearing what her youngest son said.Terrence and Alvira, who were named, also looked at each other at the same time, their expressions becoming a little unnatural.

"This is definitely not teasing, it's admiration!" Clarence turned to the Duke of Rezlan, with the corners of his mouth raised, and a big smile: "Dad, I think you should have a private conversation with Taylor. Mr. Malfoy is only one year older than Taylor Years old, and little Mr. Malfoy is over two years old. But Taylor hasn't responded at all yet, aren't you in a hurry?"

As soon as the voice fell, Emilia's face flushed.Terrence's smile instantly froze on his face.

"Hahahaha——Taylor, you lost again. Sure enough, I'm not alone!" Theodore reacted first, and burst into laughter: "Finally someone was choked by Clay like me, and I feel so speechless. marvelous!"

"Ahem, Taylor, if you need it, I welcome you to talk to me at any time." It probably involved the dignity of a man, and the large-scale topic did not make Duke Rezlan stern. A look that wants to be serious, but can't hide the smile.

"Emilia, don't be angry, I believe it must be Taylor's problem! Tell mom, she will definitely make decisions for you!" Clarence continued to add fuel to the fire without fear of death.

After holding back for a long time and still not being able to find a way to deal with it, Terrence could only raise his hands in discouragement and surrender.

"Okay, Clay, stop making fun of your sister-in-law." The Duchess came out to help when she received a look from her daughter-in-law asking for help.She raised her wine glass and cast her eyes on Theodore, who hadn't completely closed her smile: "This Christmas, the best gift our family has received is the good news about Hill. I propose that we raise a glass together for him How about celebrating?"

"It should be!" Terrence nodded hastily, and raised his glass with Emilia: "I wish Hill can successfully become an assistant teacher at Hogwarts!"

"A new mission means new responsibilities, we must cherish the opportunity and work hard!" Duke Rezlan also immediately sent his blessing.

"Be sure not to mislead your son!" This was Clarence.

"Come on, Hill!" Alvira said concisely.

For Christmas Eve dinner, the Lambert family had a very warm and cozy time.Terrence was very sad about the result of being molested instead of beating Clarence to no avail.With a serious face, he decided to go around Slytherin in the future, and reached an alliance with Theodore to resist the Lambert patriarch.In the end, both of them got a little drunk, and they were escorted back to their respective rooms by Emilia and Clarence.

The Duke and Duchess of Razlan and Alvira left the banquet before then, leaving their three sons and eldest daughter-in-law to continue the celebration.

It was past twelve o'clock at last when Clarence returned to his room.But he was still sober because he didn't drink alcohol because he was underage.Whether it is the Lambert family or himself, this year can be regarded as a fruitful one.Opening the photo album, before going to bed, Clarence said softly to the photo of Lucius on the front page: "Merry Christmas!"

Then, before New Year's Day, Clarence mailed the sorted out specific division plan to every member of the business alliance through Lambert's owl.The basic deployment is done.It was ensured that the plan could be implemented smoothly at the beginning of 1983.

At noon on New Year's Day, Old Lister sent Jeffrey to Lambert Manor to fulfill the wish he had been thinking about since the last banquet.

Clarence, who was back at school, immediately became busier.The Violet Club will be holding the second public class; the early stage of the first plan requires close attention; at the same time, in order to find inspiration for the goblin shop that will open after Easter, Clarence is going to the Room of Requirement where things are hidden Adventure once.

Clarence guessed that the hiding room must have had a long history, so that the number of things had been piled up to a very exaggerated level.Given that his purpose this time is to find some inspiration for high-end products in it, he specially prepared two large-capacity magic pockets and pointing needles during the Christmas period, and put them in his schoolbag with the idea of ​​being prepared before setting foot on the road. A journey of adventure.

However, what was originally planned as a one-person adventure ended up being two.

Clarence looked at Daphne who had been following him closely since she came out of the activity room, and was very speechless: "What have you been following me for?"

"What are you going to do?" Daphne stared at Clarence with great interest.Since she helped Clarence deal with the collected information last time, this Ravenclaw freshman, who is obviously not able to learn the usual learning tasks, has become very interested in Clarence's extracurricular activities: "I also follow the You go together!"

"Why do you think so? Maybe I'm just going to the library." Clarence held his forehead, regretting that he hadn't discovered that Daphne still had Gryffindor's adventurous spirit.If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have asked Daphne to help.

In terms of IQ, Daphne is definitely the best among her peers.And this kind of lively and cheerful genius usually has a common characteristic, that is, the ability to capture and pursue the desire to be extremely sensitive to novel stimuli.

Apparently, Clarence accidentally became a 'new stimulus' that met Daphne's conditions.

"Forget it, can't I figure out the route from the activity room to the library? Are you going to the eighth floor, that interesting room that Theodore mentioned, is it?" Daphne was very sure He deduced the initial clue to the place closest to the truth: "What are you going to do, I can help you!"

"Are you sure that I will do something interesting?" Clarence smiled, and walked to the Response Room again, acquiescing to Daphne's companion.

"Of course, don't underestimate girls' intuition!" Daphne hurried to Clarence's side very proudly.

"Well, I don't know yet, you have already made up your mind to be an explorer in the future."

"Explorers? No, I'm not interested in that. Going in and out of dangerous places just because there are unknown factors? This is too inconsistent with the spirit of Ravenclaw College." Daphne shook her head decisively.

"Then why are you following me? Doesn't it feel like asking to join an expedition?" Clarence laughed.

"How come? You are not Gryffindor. I can only be sure that following you, I will see many different things. So give up, I will pay close attention to your every move recently before I am disappointed .”

"You are an academy prejudice, and it is also not in line with the spirit of our Violet Club." Clarence shook his head helplessly: "But it is just right, this activity may just need the wisdom of your Ravenclaws!"

"You really have a goal, right? I know it!" Daphne was encouraged by her guessing the goal.

"Well, that's right, I'll talk to you when I get into the room. When I get to the place, you follow me, and then you have to keep thinking about 'a room where things are hidden'."

"no problem!"

When Clarence and Daphne actually walked into that room, the strong visual impact was far beyond their imagination.In the spacious room where the surrounding walls could not be seen, there were countless hills piled up, and various items of indistinguishable types were piled up to form an endless pile of garbage.

"My God, I kind of regret it, if that's what you're going to do to clean up this dump."

"Although I was also a little surprised, this is not a garbage dump, my dear." Clarence pulled Daphne to the nearest hill and observed it carefully.

Will leave things by the door, usually nothing too important.So it's also about big things.Clarence also saw some old Muggle sports equipment, such as baseball bats, broken wooden frames, and rags.

"Oh, look, what is this!" Daphne pulled out a transparent plastic box covered with a lot of dust from the back of the mountain pile: "The things inside are like chess pieces."

"Probably some kind of wizard game? Gobstone or something."

"Certainly not. Gobstone can spew out a stinky liquid. I've played with it before, and it won't be packed in such a strange box."

"Strange? This box is called plastic, which is very common in the Muggle world. But judging by the craftsmanship, it must have been made for a long time, and it may break easily. Be careful when you hold it."

"Muggle box? But the things inside seem to have traces of magic. Do you think it is an earlier version of Gobstone or something? My mother said that things with history are usually very valuable. "

"How do I verify this? Actually, what I want to find are things like handicrafts, jewelry, magic jewelry, etc. Well, it probably won't be wood or plastic. Maybe I can target metal products and ancient books. .” Clarence was about to go further inward.

"Are you going to just look for it? It feels like looking for a needle in a haystack. God knows how many things there are. It would be nice if there was a spell that could detect whether an item is magical. I guess there must be such a spell, but we haven't learned it yet .”

"But the things I want don't necessarily need to have magic power. Besides, if some things are kept for a long time, the original magic power will gradually disappear."

"Then what should we do? We don't know time magic. Probably only a magic spell that can detect the age of an object can help you." Daphne frowned: "Maybe we can go to the library to check the information now."

"Detecting the age...showing the time..." Clarence silently repeated Daphne's words twice, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "How could I forget that."
