HP's Platinum Temptation

As the most representative family patriarch of the pure-blood family, although Lucius' influence on the Pure-Blood Alliance is not as great as Advisor Winter's control over the Violet Alliance, it is not much worse.

Although the Pure Blood Alliance has fewer members than the Violet Alliance, it has greater industry influence.Although the industry barriers set up in the previous confrontation with the Violet Alliance were more to limit the development of the Violet Alliance, the commercial development of the Pure Blood Alliance itself was also restricted.So after the two parties reached a cooperation agreement, these purebloods did not resist the result too much.Although Lucius didn't explain the reasons for the cooperation too much, for these pure-blooded family spirits, it is natural that they don't need to ask to get the answers they want.

Compared with restoring trade, the pure-blood family is more interested in the bet proposed by Clarence.

In the past few decades, the Death Eater team mainly composed of pure-blood family members can basically represent the top combat effectiveness of the British wizarding world.Among the countless confrontations with the Death Eaters, it is rare for the Auror or the Order of the Phoenix to have the upper hand under the same number of conditions.

Except for some families who are opposed to the merger of the two alliances, most of the families are confident about the result of such a game.But in their view, the Violet Alliance, which is absolutely weak, dared to take the initiative to make such a bet, which showed that the other party was quite sure of winning.Then, before finding out the details of the other party, all the families are not in favor of agreeing to the bet.Slytherins are all determined before they move, and they will not be willing to pay any price if they are not sure enough.

Given that most members of the Pure Blood Alliance were willing to learn more about the details of the bet, Lucius wrote a letter to Winter shortly after the party of the Pure Blood Alliance, inviting them to meet.

But what Lucius didn't expect was that not only his first letter fell into the sea.Even the other three letters he sent to Poplar Cottage did not receive any response.

Although it is possible to call Winter directly through the water mirror, Lucius has been reluctant to use this prop.Especially after the other party has been silent for nearly two months.

In early May, Lucius received a letter back from Poplar Cottage.But the sender was Yvette.

Yvette said that after Easter, Winter took her out of the UK and spent the past two months working in various European countries.Malfoy's owls did not receive instructions from their master to send letters abroad, so the letters were sent to Poplar Cottage according to the address of the letter.So it wasn't until Yvette returned to England, back to Poplar Cottage, and saw the emails, that she replied to Lucius.He also explained that he did not open Lucius' letter to read it. If Lucius is in a hurry, he can call Winter through the water mirror.If it's not too urgent, you can also pass it on through Yvette.Because Winter has not returned to China.

Lucius' first reaction after receiving the letter was to be angry, very angry.

Because in the past more than a month, all four men of the Lambert family stayed in the UK, and only Terrence would occasionally leave the UK, but usually through Muggles.

However, Lucius quickly suppressed his anger and began to investigate the actions of the members of the Violet Alliance.In fact, it was just that he himself acquiesced that Winter was one of the four men of the Lambert family.But in fact, there was a problem that Lucius had been ignoring.Is the population of the Lambert family really only these four men?

The findings revealed that the Lambert family applied for international portkeys at Easter.There were three when they left: Winter, Mrs Collins and Yvette.When he came back, there was only one Mrs. Collins.After connecting to the International Floo Network, records from the Ministry of Magic showed that there was no Lambert either.Back and forth it was just Lister, Collins, Hall, and McClell and some of the guys who worked for the Violet League.In other words, it is indeed possible that Winter has remained in the European continent and has not returned home.

This discovery made Lucius a little annoyed.Not only because of Winter's possible status, but also because of his radical change in attitude.

Since 1983, Clarence Lambert's confession letters have been harassing Lucius on a monthly basis.

Then came the appearance of Winter, which ended the continuous bombardment of confession letters from the kid, but also started the process of his own frequent appointments with Lucius.

From the Pensieve's own memories, Lucius concludes that Winter does like him.But while acknowledging this, Lucius also wondered how much the other party liked him.

So when they met alone in the poplar hut for the last time, Lucius took the initiative to ask for a kiss from the other party.This is just a temptation for him.

Winter did show a strong ability to control during the negotiation process, so that Lucius has never been able to gain the dominance of the dialogue and has been led by the nose by the other party.

But in terms of relationships, Lucius felt that Winter should be just a novice.Every naked confession is completely without the implicit beauty that Slytherin should have.Although he keeps saying that he wants to have it, Winter has never put it into action.In addition to the constant love talk, a man who only cooks for a date should also be relatively stupid in terms of feelings.What's more, Lucius firmly believes that Winter's liking is more out of use.

In the end, it turned out that Lucius was wrong, and the other party was obviously an activist.Fortunately, Winter finally knew when enough was enough, and just touched Lucius' lips lightly.

Because it was Lucius himself who made the invitation, he couldn't be angry yet.

Then Winter explained the matter of the Horcrux, and confidently ignored Lucius' refusal.Even after deliberately avoiding seeing him a few times, he agreed to the invitation to come to Malfoy Manor.Obviously, Lucius made a mistake in his previous calculation. It's not that the opponent doesn't have claws, but they just put them away.

Since Winter dared to come to Malfoy Manor alone, it at least proved that he was quite confident in his own strength.Lucius didn't think the other was fearless just because of trust.What's more, there is no trust between the two at all.But in the conversation that afternoon, Winter mentioned the murder of Death Eaters. Lucius' first reaction was that the other party was mocking him.

What Lucius didn't expect was that Winter actually said that he would accompany him to bear the mistakes he had made.Lucius snorted coldly in his heart, Malfoy can always rely on himself, no one else.

My own irony attracted a pair of pre-ordered wedding rings.

Winter is proposing to him?

Are you kidding me, is this something that can be said casually?

Lucius had indeed run away that afternoon.It would be an absolute lie to say that he was not moved.Lucius didn't think he was an emotionless dementor.Based on all the things that happened before, it can be concluded that Wen Te is neither stupid nor pure, and he is quite serious, although his usual tone is more like a joke.But Lucius didn't know how to face the other party's statement.So he chose to avoid it, and he could skip this topic directly the next day.

For some reason, the situation took a turn for the worse the next day without Lucius noticing it.That Winter, who was serious about taking out the ring to propose yesterday, suddenly said that he gave up liking Lucius because he found that Lucius would never put himself above his family and interests.

This made Lucius a little annoyed. As for the reason for the annoyance, Lucius himself didn't know.

Originally, interests are much more practical than love, and something as illusory as love will eventually give way.This man started his continuous offensive on his own initiative and ended it with such a boring excuse, which would only make Lucius feel disgusted.He never believed in love.So he heard his own ridicule and disdain.

The mocking words did not irritate the other party. Winter seemed to be immersed in his own emotions, and suddenly there was another lyric of confession.

That line is silly and straightforward.Lucius' first reaction was to think it was funny.Can one be the reason for all the happiness of another?It's so funny that Winter would believe such a stupid lyrics.However, in view of the serious expression on the other party's face, it seems that he really attaches great importance to this line of lyrics with little depth.If he continued to laugh at him, it would appear that he was a bit too much for a gentleman.

Lucius didn't open his mouth to attack the opponent again, but just changed the topic to the Horcrux.

Horcruxes were the focus of both parties' attention, and Winter's narrative resumed a flat tone.

It turned out that during the destruction of the Horcrux, Winter needed Malfoy's help.

Listening, Lucius's heart was turned into a sneer because of the seriousness of the other party.

Sure enough, what love is said to be false.Winter's approach to him at the beginning was only for profit.While saying that I have other partners to choose from, I also emphasized that I made the choice out of emotion.In the end, he proved himself a lie.If it weren't for the need for help from Narcissa and Severus, Winter probably wouldn't have spent so much time on himself.

So it is just an excuse to say that you suddenly realize the difference in values ​​and give up.Otherwise, why do you have to wait until the unbreakable spell is established before saying so?Because of the spell, the cooperation has come naturally.

Sure enough, the request for cooperation was followed by the request for the merger of the two alliances.Love, that kind of thing doesn't have any credibility, does it?What happened to Winter just verified his point of view once again, and there was nothing surprising about it.

After discussing the content of the cooperation, Winter didn't even want to waste another night in Malfoy Manor, so he chose to leave directly.

In the end, the conclusion of the cooperation guarantees all the interests that the Violet Alliance wants, so the attitude becomes avoidance, right?Not even spending time in the UK anymore.That's why there has been no response since Easter until now.

Probably because the content of the letter doesn't have any interest content, as expected, if you don't see a rabbit, you won't scatter the eagle!

That's right, this is the true value of the same, and if they use each other, there is no need to have any scruples.

Lucius sneered as he wrote the last strokes of the invitation to Winter's funeral for Mrs. Black.

The author has something to say: Well, the same thing can be interpreted as a completely different situation in a different state of mind...

In fact, Father L didn't completely misunderstand, and part of it was because he didn't know that his heart was moving, and he wanted to deny it, so...

Well, actually there is still a bit of a misunderstanding, right...

Watch beat...

L: Damn, you can't see each other for three months, you're going to die!

Clay: Woohoo, I’m so angry, it’s not easy for the student party~~Come on, how about one~~
