HP's Platinum Temptation
Chapter 63 Smile
The opening ceremony of the Mahiona District is the most critical part of Clarence's strategy to conquer the British wizarding world.
To this end, the design and construction of Mahiona Quarter began long before Clarence entered Hogwarts.But the actual completion of the construction has been delayed until two years later.
All, whether it was Clarence himself or the Duke of Rezlan, both attached great importance to this plan.
Unlike the last time the opening invitation of Lambert's clothing store was sent by Emilia, all the invitations this time were written by the Duchess and checked by the Duke of Rezlan himself.
One can imagine Duke Rezlan's reaction when Clarence proposed to invite Lucius in his own name.
Even if the opening ceremony did not require Clarence's formal participation, the Duke of Rezlan obviously hoped that he could spend his time on the work of the chief dispatcher instead of accompanying Lucius to visit in person.
As a result, Clarence was silent from the time the Duke of Rezlan went berserk until the day of the opening ceremony, when he saw Lucius' face from the fireworks in the fireplace.
Clarence admitted that he was a bad joke, so when he saw Lucius' indifferent and arrogant face, he suddenly made such an unplanned remark.
Almost as soon as Clarence finished speaking, Lucius tightened his jaw, frowned slightly, and a trace of irritation flashed deep in his beautiful blue-gray eyes.If one ignores Lucius's subconscious clenched wand, which seemed to be ready to attack, Clarence was still very happy with his sensitive and quick response.At least it can show that Lucius' attitude towards him is not directly ignoring.
Lucius didn't speak, and when Narcissa hadn't reacted, Draco next to him was not happy, broke free from Narcissa's hand, and threw himself into Clarence's arms: "Clay! The little dragon has given Why don’t you ask Xiaolong when you give a gift! It’s not fair!”
On his 13th birthday this year, Clarence still received a lot of birthday presents. Although there was no Lucius among them, Draco gave them.From the perspective of the recipient, whether the gift is signed by Lucius or Draco, there is not much difference.Without Lucius' consent, that gift would not have been delivered to him.
In fact, it can be seen from the fact that Clarence and Draco have been able to keep in touch with each other. Although Lucius banned the contact between the two many times, he couldn't hold back Draco in the end.A large part of the reason is not how stubborn the three-year-old Draco is, but because of how much Lucius loves him.Because I love him so much, I can't bear to make him unhappy.
Although Draco often said that his father was not as gentle as his mother, never called him 'Little Dragon', and rarely hugged him, but Draco still regarded his father as the most important and most admired object in his heart.It can be seen that although children are small, they have their own judgment ability.Know who is genuinely good to you, no matter the form.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Clarence bent over and responded to his most loyal child: "May I treat you to the ice cream that is only available here?"
"Although it's the first time I've seen you, you are indeed a very gentle child just like the feeling when we corresponded." Narcissa said at this moment: "It's an honor to receive your invitation and come here .”
Mrs. Malfoy is a very temperamental woman, and a very qualified Mrs. Malfoy.Realizing the fact that Lucius was obviously unwilling to talk to Clarence, she wisely chose to take away the awkward topic just now.
Probably because she has been ghostwriting to help Draco and Clarence communicate, Narcissa's tone of speech is not very unfamiliar, and she even has a hint of curiosity.
"It's also my honor, Mrs. Malfoy. I have only been able to see your handwriting all the time, and this time I finally have the opportunity to meet you in person. As the saying goes, your handwriting is like a person, and you are smarter than I imagined." Charming." Clarence let go of Draco, stood up and saluted Narcissa.
In view of the fact that he abducted Draco's heart and teased Lucius face to face, Clarence's feelings towards Narcissa were nothing but respect.
Moreover, this time Clarence is not going to be as casual as meeting last year.After all, there was a price to be paid for molesting Lucius, not to mention that Mrs. Malfoy was still watching, and Clarence himself couldn't delay the business because of it.
After the basic greetings, Clarence did not mention the gifts and letters again: "Please come with me. Today's opening ceremony will be held in the afternoon. The morning is reserved for everyone to visit. I believe that most of the distinguished guests will appreciate Concepts such as the wizarding central business district are relatively unfamiliar, so we have prepared to train qualified introduction guides in advance. Now I will take you there, and then these ladies will take over the work of introducing you."
"What about you, where are you going? Aren't you with us?" Draco, who was holding Clarence very affectionately, asked anxiously.
"Uh, I'll probably go and see if there is any need for help." Clarence replied, "Don't worry, that sister will take you to eat ice cream later."
"Then why don't you come with us?" Draco grabbed Clarence very anxiously and asked, "I haven't seen you for a long time! You promised you would play with me!"
"Xiaolong, I don't think Mr. Malfoy would like me standing beside him very much. You can see me again at the opening ceremony later, okay?" To be honest, Clarence has always been very surprised. After not seeing each other for a year, Draco's ability to maintain a clear preference for himself seemed incredible.You know, such a young child usually cannot remember too many things for a long time, whether it is people or things.If Clarence had to say it, Draco would have been flattered if he had been able to communicate with him for half a year.
"I don't think a Malfoy would be incapable of getting along peacefully with an underage wizard, that's not in line with the style of the Malfoy family." Lucius spoke for the first time after arriving.Although his tone was light, he was so polite that people could fully appreciate the sense of distance, and there was no expression on his face, and he didn't even look directly at Clarence: "Not to mention a gentleman who sent us a friendly invitation."
"Well, if I still insist on leaving like this, it will appear that I am very rude." Clarence's eyes widened slightly, a little surprised that Lucius would take the initiative to prevent him from leaving.But he quickly adjusted, took Draco's hand again and walked ahead, leading his three guests out of the Fireplace.
The area of Mahiona is very large, and the buildings are basically in line with the latest styles and styles of Muggles.This is very different from the style of most wizard buildings.Perhaps for many old-school wizards, it is not particularly easy to accept.
"I found that the area here is very large." During the visit, most of the time, Narcissa took the initiative to ask some questions, and then Clarence replied: "So, is it true that the Muggles are very interested in this place?" Is there a mindless existence? Are you using the same large Muggle ignore spell as Hogwarts?"
"Oh, no." Clarence shook his head, took out a hard card engraved with 'Maxiona District Pass' from the pocket of his robe, and handed it to Narcissa: "The entire Mahiona The area was not completely hidden by the spell, we used more purely physical methods of hiding. The area we selected was originally a hilly area in the outskirts of London. There are undulating terrain and dense vegetation here. If there is hemp From the outside, you will only feel that this piece of dense forest is undeveloped. And not far from here, closer to the direction of downtown London, a Muggle residential area we designed and built will be completed soon .Only the small town where the residential area is located has a Muggle passage into the Mahiona area. This card is a special admission certificate for Muggles. Only Muggles who hold this card can pass through the passage and enter here , otherwise they will feel like they have walked around a forest path and returned to the small town."
"It sounds like the effect of a magic circle." Lucius raised his eyebrows, showing some interest, and interjected to comment: "This is not a very common technique."
"Yes, the design of the entire Mahiona District was presided over by a wizard who mastered magic circle technology. But I don't know the specifics. Terrence was in charge." Clarence shrugged, except Apart from the fact that he found the wizard, Terrence was actually responsible for everything in the Mahiona area, and he really doesn't know the details: "According to Terrence, in the future, the outside town area will be It is open to the Muggle families of wizards of the Masculine species to buy and live in. The residences in the Mahiona area are for wizard families to live in."
"Even if you don't need to avoid Muggles' sight, the construction of this place is not a small project. I believe that the designer's level is definitely very good." Narcissa nodded as she watched, she seemed to like this side Luxurious decor: "Personally, if there were more shops here, I would be more than willing to spend my free time here."
"After the opening ceremony, about half of the shops will be open, and we are still attracting business for the remaining half." Clarence replied immediately: "However, the existing shops are believed to be able to cover most of the daily needs of wizards." The only pity is that Gringotts rejected our proposal to establish a branch here. Therefore, it is estimated that the work we want to undertake, the reception of witches and wizards before the start of Hogwarts every year, cannot continue gone."
"Most of the shops here should belong to the Violet Alliance." Lucius said suddenly, and said a statement full of doubts very directly: "This makes me guess that all the invitation letters sent to the Pure Blood Alliance true purpose."
"Uh, in fact, what you said is correct. Father hopes to invite members of the Pure Blood Alliance to attend the dinner tonight after the opening ceremony." Clarence heard Lucius' expression that was not tactful at all. He paused, stopped, and turned his head to look at Lucius' blue-gray eyes: "But I think this probably requires your approval, Mr. Malfoy, to be possible."
"Well, is it?" Lucius then stopped and looked back at Clarence. He reached out and gently brushed away the long light blond hair that covered his side face as he lowered his head: "Little Lambert Mr. Te is asking for my opinion by saying this now?"
"If you are willing to answer now, of course yes. Although this is not part of my work." Clarence nodded slightly: "But if your answer is yes, I will be very happy to send Pass the good news to your father."
The right hand holding the snake staff was behind his back, and the index finger of his left hand wearing a black glove was lightly pressed across his lower lip. Lucius raised the corners of his mouth and raised his chin slightly. Suddenly, his eyes were full of smiles, and he looked at Claren. Si showed a very lethal bright smile: "What if my answer is 'no'?"

Should Yuanyuan be thankful that she wrote too slowly and hasn't entered the main scene yet?
Alas, it's the rhythm of chicken and dog jumping again...
The title is expected to be changed to 'HP Platinum Violet'
