HP's Platinum Temptation

Lucius said that sentence in the tone of an adult to a child, which instantly made Clarence think that his identity had been exposed.

Afterwards, Lucius left with Snape, without any intention of changing his mind.

When Yvette noticed the guest's departure and walked into the study, she saw Clarence sitting on the sofa in a daze: "What's the matter? What happened? Have you finished your business?"

"No, I don't know if I succeeded. The final situation made me a little confused, and I'm going to lie down." Clarence rubbed his temples, showing an unhappy expression: "I think I may need to Stay here for a few days, I will disturb you."

For the next week, Yvette climbed up to the second floor from time to time to check on Clarence.I saw Clarence lingering in the study, constantly changing the position of his meditation, taking turns sitting where his two guests had sat.Sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling, the more Yvette observed, the more she couldn't understand.

About five days after the guest's visit, Yvette helped Clarence receive a package.The contents of the package are unknown, but after receiving the package, Clarence changed the battlefield of his thinking from the study to the bedroom.Clarence completely shut himself in the bedroom, except that he would go to the restaurant on the first floor to eat with Yvette on time for three meals.

This situation continued until the morning of Christmas Eve, when Terrence and Theodore came together to catch people back for Christmas.

On Christmas Eve, the Duke of Razlan hosted an undisclosed Christmas dinner at Lambert Manor.At Clarence's suggestion, the Duke of Rezlan invited the main members of the other four core families of the Violet Alliance to celebrate together.This is also the busiest Christmas dinner since Lambert Manor reopened.

Because of Winter's request, the Violet Alliance has stopped their plan to continue the peaceful evolution of the Pure Blood Alliance.Everyone celebrated the festival together, and just briefly talked about what new progress has been made in the fields they are responsible for.And more time, the attention of several family members is on the affairs of the Muggle world.They began to realize a phenomenon that Muggle pounds were much more profitable than wizards' Galleons.

During the entire banquet, everyone was actually expecting someone to bring up the issue of the Pure Blood Alliance.Because Clarence expected to be able to announce the good news of his success at the Christmas dinner from the beginning.But Lucius' unexpected reaction gave Clarence the first time he had a deflation that big.

After Clarence stayed in Poplar Cottage for a week and didn't come home, the Lamberts guessed that his plan to 'take Lucius' was blocked.So at the dinner, everyone was trying to avoid this topic, and let this Christmas dinner return to a purely festive celebration atmosphere.

Clarence spent a week figuring out what went wrong that night.

Although the information he provided, the source of some parts is a problem.However, this may be a problem for Dumbledore, but it should not be so important for Malfoy.Dumbledore has the absolute strength he relies on, but the family power owned by Lucius has been greatly weakened in the last century.As a result, in the duel between the Dark Lord and the Order of the Phoenix headed by the White Wizard, Malfoy had no way to remain neutral, but chose to stand in line.But there is no doubt that this will definitely not be the result Lucius wants most.

As for what Clarence meant, there is no doubt that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for Lucius.The rise of Violet can fully support the emergence of a third-party force.If played properly, the three-legged confrontation is already the worst result.If the Malfoy family can successfully switch sides, the result will not be worse than the original situation.

After comparing and eliminating the factors that might make Lucius scruples, Clarence suddenly discovered that the key to the problem was not the strategy he used or the plan he made, but Lucius himself.

Obviously, Lucius is a living person, not a mechanical program. After the operator enters the constraints, he will automatically go to the best route given by you.A Malfoy who is well versed in power struggles is bound to fight for more interests for himself.

If Lucius had agreed to Clarence's "unbreakable spell" that night, although the final result of the cooperation would not be much different, the relative psychological status between the two would inevitably be irreversible.For Lucius, this kind of road is a bit like being given to him by Clarence, and the reason is the 'like' that makes Lucius often angry.

So Lucius turned it down because he didn't want to repeat his previous role as the 'second man' under the Dark Lord.If what he got in Clarence's plan was only slightly better than his family situation among the Death Eaters, then the benefits here were not enough to justify him choosing a greater risk.

Lucius would rather believe in his own strength to fight for it, to find a possible way to solve it by himself.

The information gathered by the intelligence agencies showed that Lucius' actions had indeed returned to the simulation track in Clarence's mind.He is trying to use his own channels to make full use of all the information that Clarence revealed this time.

Before Lucius completely hit the wall and gave up, Clarence realized that the best way for him was to wait.Wait quietly, and never take the initiative to invite another meeting.Fortunately, the advantage that Clarence has is not only intelligence.Otherwise, all the old bottoms will be exposed, and cooperation will be out of the question.Now, only the longer the delay, the more impatient Lucius would be, and then give up struggling.

However, Clarence carefully copied a whole page of a sentence in his diary, which is the lesson learned this time: never underestimate a Malfoy, the gain outweighs the gain.

Fortunately, during the delay, he is not the one who will be helpless and have nothing to do.

The time came to Easter in 1985 due to the delay of the two rivals.During this period, Clarence was busy with several things of his own, deliberately ignoring the letters from Malfoy Manor that had been arriving since February.

The Muggle strike was finally sorted out in winter.The arrival of severe cold made those tough guys who declared that they would carry on the strike to the end bend their backs.The Lamberts' efforts in helping to calm the matter earned them another Muggle crown.The opening of three large Muggle programs solved most of the unemployment problem.What happened at the same time was that Clarence had another fight with Mrs Thatcher, which ended in Clarence's victory.

When he received the third invitation letter from Malfoy Manor, Clarence found a reason for himself and ended his awkward relationship with Lucius.

For the first time, Lucius offered to invite Henry Winter to the Malfoy Manor.

In the movie, Clarence has seen the beautiful decoration of Malfoy Manor.However, the real feeling of visiting on the spot is that without the dark atmosphere in the movie, Malfoy Manor can be said to be a luxurious place with every detail.This not only shows that the Malfoy family has good financial resources, but also reflects the inheritance style of a family.

"It's a great honor to invite you to Malfoy Manor for Easter." Lucius greeted Clarence at the door with a perfect smile on his face: "I thought you wouldn't come alone."

"If I don't come by myself, who else can I bring?" Clarence waved his hand casually, and followed Lucius into the manor.

"Let the house elf put your luggage in the room for you?" Lucius invited Clarence to stay in Malfoy Manor for two days this time, which means that what he wants to discuss with Clarence is not a one-day meeting. Completed.In the previous two invitations, it was only Lucius who proposed to visit Clarence at Poplar Cottage.There is a big difference between the two.

"Oh, okay, thank you." Clarence took out the shrinking suitcase from his pocket and handed it to the elf who appeared next to him at the right time.

"This is Dobby. During your short stay here, you can tell him to do whatever you need." Lucius nodded the elf's name, and led Clarence to the main hall for lunch.

"Is there any plan for these two days?"

"Generally, the morning is for leisure. I can show you some of the collections in Malfoy Manor. The formal job interviews are held in the afternoon or evening. If you like, Narcissa has a very proud luminous garden, which is held in the evening. It can only be seen. That’s about it.” Lucius briefly introduced.

"Did the guests of Malfoy Manor usually live like this in the past?" Clarence looked at the white peacock pacing on the lawn: "Sounds a bit boring."

"Unfortunately, it is indeed the case. Isn't that the case with the Lambert family?" Lucius asked a little displeased.

"Oh, that's true, but I'm not personally like that. It's a pity that I missed it, otherwise we could go to the Cannes Film Festival next year. It's much more fun than this. But I personally think that the most suitable stage for you, It's still the social season in London every year. If," Clarence waved his hands with great interest, "I mean, if you are willing to date me, it will be a good time to play golf after a while."

"I'm assuming you're talking about Muggle activities?" Lucius was a little curious at first, but he got a little annoyed when he heard it.

"Oh, yes, Muggle activities. Don't look down on Muggles too much, they are quite interesting, and they are more willing to spend time on entertainment than wizards, so they have a lot more tricks." Clarence lobbied patiently .

"Sounds good, blindly optimistic without knowing anything. The wizarding world is not such a comfortable place." Lucius snorted coldly.

"Then have you ever imagined that one day, the wizarding world we live in no longer needs us to worry about tomorrow's safety day after day?" Clarence showed a bright and confident smile: "I have thought about it."

The author has something to say: Phew, I am finally ready for a long time contact.

Hey, besides talking about things, do you guys want to watch any entertainment and pastimes?
