HP's Platinum Temptation

In fact, Clarence received a letter from Lucius very early on.Although Yvette was thrown to France by Clarence because of the shift of work focus, the Poplar Cottage was still unoccupied.But when Clarence was in Hogsmeade on weekends, he would wander to the cottage to see if there was a letter from Lucius.The reason why he hasn't replied is that he doesn't know how to face it.

After nearly three months of no contact, Clarence found it seemed impossible to control himself not to think about Lucius.

Although thinking of giving up, Clarence found that he liked Lucius a little more than he imagined.

******

The matter of the Horcrux needed the cooperation of Narcissa, and because of the specific content, it was protected by the Ruthless Loyalty Curse.So before leaving Malfoy Manor on Easter, Clarence left a related written note for Lucius to pass on to Narcissa.

Because Lucius' letter did not mention anything related to the Horcrux, Clarence never responded, and asked the Duke of Rezlan to help the Ministry of Magic forge relevant records that Winter was still in the European continent.Until I received the funeral invitation from Mrs. Black.

Although he has not yet made up his mind what kind of mentality he will use to face Lucius, the matter of the Horcrux cannot be delayed.

According to the address, Clarence came to the door of the Black family in a Muggle car.

"Long time no see, Henry." Lucius smiled brightly and spoke familiarly, as if the two had just met and chatted a few days ago.

"Sorry, I've been in France before and didn't come back. We can talk about the game later." Clarence tried his best not to appear too enthusiastic, so his tone seemed a little cold.

Lucius' facial expression remained almost unchanged, and he led Clarence into Black's old house in a friendly manner.

"After the Black Lord's reign in the Black family, only the old lady was left in a huge family. After her two children had accidents, the old lady went crazy. Except Sissy would occasionally bring a little dragon to visit Other than her, this old lady hasn't had any social activities for a long time. So this time, you are the only guest at her funeral." Lucius restrained his smile after entering the old house, after all, he was alone. Death, even without other people, is not an occasion where you can smile and relax.Speaking of the decline of an ancient family, Lucius couldn't take it easy.

"Then how did Mrs. Malfoy get the right to let us into this house? If I remember correctly, the heir of the Black family should be Sirius in Azkaban?" Clarence still has some impressions of this house Yes, in the original book, the house did not gain popularity again until Mrs. Black died and Sirius escaped from prison.But it also took a lot of effort to clean it up.But now the whole house still looks clean and bright, at most it's just a little old.

"It took Sissy a lot of effort to obtain the management authorization of Black's old house before the old lady died of illness. After all, she is also a member of the Black family. This procedure does not need to go through the Ministry of Magic, as long as it is recognized by the owner. Lucius explained, "When are you going to start looking for Horcruxes?"

"I can do it at any time. I will follow your arrangement." Clarence replied, "But shouldn't it be better for me to pay my condolences to the old lady first?"

"Of course, this way." Lucius pointed inside and led Clarence over.

Narcissa was not in a good mood. Compared with Lucius's passing of the old lady, she was more sentimental about the decline of a family. She really felt sorry for this poor relative.In the past few years before her death, the old lady was not happy at all.

After finishing his condolences, Clarence went straight to the kitchen, which aroused Lucius' confusion.But when he saw Clarence taking out his wand, he shut his mouth in a timely manner, and took Narcissa to the side.

Because Clay had already used it once when he found the crown before, this time Clay didn't need more time to prepare this relatively long spell: "Ansuzinguzeihwaz." The same pure white ball of light appeared on the tip of the staff, and then swished With a straight bang, he got into the kitchen cabinet.Then there was a ping-pong-pong sound in the cabinet.This accident made both Lucius and Narcissa draw out their wands and face the cabinet.

The light from Clarence's wand was connected to the inside of the cabinet, so after making eye contact, Lucius stepped forward cautiously and opened the cabinet door.

Snapped--

A wrinkly-skinned house-elf fell out holding a glowing Slytherin pendant, but he held on to the pendant and curled up on the floor.

"Kreacher? What are you doing?" Narcissa naturally knew this old house elf.

Kreacher screamed fiercely, bounced off the ground, and was about to run away.Lucius, who had been pointing his wand at Kreacher, decisively threw a petrification spell, making the elf freeze in place.

But when Lucius tried to take the pendant, he failed.Because Kreacher tightly wrapped the entire pendant with his hands, if he wanted to take the pendant off, he would definitely hurt the house elf.So Lucius looked at Clarence helplessly.

"Please try not to hurt Kreacher, he...he has always been very loyal to the Black family." Narcissa couldn't help saying when she saw Clarence approaching Kreacher with a wand.

"It's okay, I know." Clarence waved his hand, still holding his wand.The light from the tip of the wand disappeared completely when it was half a meter near the pendant, but Clarence did not put down his wand because of this: "Listen, Kreacher, although I am not your master, I have no right to order you. But I still I hope you can listen to my next words carefully. The pendant in your hand originally belonged to the Dark Lord. Later, Regulus took it out and handed it to you, asking you to destroy it. But only by your own strength , you will never be able to destroy this pendant, and there is no way to complete Regulus' order. Now, I am going to undo the spell on you, and then you hand over the locket to me, and I will help you destroy it. Drop it. I think, you don’t want the things your little master bought with his life to be unable to fulfill his last wish because of you, right? Although I can’t guarantee it, if there is a chance, I can accompany you to get it How about returning the fake locket that Regulus used in its place? If I stop the spell and you run away, you'll find you can't make it."

Clarence pointed the tip of his wand at the floor around Kreacher, drew a circle in the air, and said a spell: "Nauthiz. The spell stops."

bang——

Kreacher really wanted to run immediately after being released, but he was quickly bounced back by the invisible wall and fell to the ground.

"Well, I knew you would run away." Clarence stood up with some headaches and scratched his head: "Anyway, you won't believe what I say, right? It's really troublesome..."

What answered Clarence was the continuous sound of Kreacher's continuous attempts to escape in the invisible prison.

When Clarence stared helplessly at Kreacher, the two people standing behind him showed very shocked expressions.Narcissa's face changed drastically, and she couldn't help but grabbed Lucius' hand tightly, while her left hand covered her mouth.

"Mrs. Malfoy, is there any way you can convince this little guy?" Clarence finally chose to ask for help from Narcissa, the only person Kreacher could possibly believe, but when he turned around, he happened to meet Narcissa's surprised expression: "What's wrong, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Mr. Winter, you..." Narcissa hesitated, and asked in a tone of disbelief: "How do you know Regulus?"

"I know why the locket appeared in the Black family, so it's not surprising to know your cousin. But I can't explain why." Clarence sighed softly: "You can find a way to get it from Kreacher The locket? Otherwise, I really can only use violence."

"Regulus..." Narcissa took two steps in Kreacher's direction, stopped again, and asked Clarence another question.

Clarence immediately understood what Narcissa wanted to ask, and said in a regretful tone: "I'm sorry, he died. In order to get this locket and allow Kreacher enough time to bring it back, he was forced to The Yin corpse was dragged into the bottom of the lake."

"Infernal Corpse!" Narcissa shook her body deeply, took two steps back, and was supported by Lucius who strode forward: "We always thought it was the Dark Lord... but we didn't find it." Corpse, so I was lucky... I didn't expect it to be..."

"Sissy." Lucius reminded Narcissa in a low voice, supporting Narcissa, who was a bit out of control.He knew exactly what Narcissa was thinking, but he felt that this was not a good time.

"Do you know where Regulus's... is?" Narcissa held Lucius's hand and asked Clarence persistently.

"Uh, I probably know about it, but I haven't been there." Clarence expressed doubts.

"Okay, I see." Narcissa didn't continue to ask, she took two deep breaths, let go of Lucius who had been supporting her, walked to Kreacher's cage and squatted down, patiently and willingly Kreacher, who listened to her, whispered.

"Sissy and Regulus have always had a very good relationship. He was a very good boy." After Lucius let go of Narcissa, he stood beside Clarence and said softly, "It's a pity that he died too early. The old lady's favorite is this little son."

Clarence nodded, indicating that he was aware of the matter and did not speak.

After a while, Narcissa stood up and handed the locket to Clarence: "You can let Kreacher go now."

"It's great to be able to solve it smoothly, and I don't want to hurt this loyal little guy." Clarence heaved a sigh of relief, and instead of taking the locket immediately, he looked at Lucius: "Let me keep it ?”

"Of course, I have no way to deal with the Dark Lord's Horcrux." Lucius nodded without hesitation: "Go to Malfoy Manor to rest for the night, and let's discuss the match tomorrow during the day."

The author has something to say: the brighter Father L looks on the outside, the more he is actually calculating inside.

I have always felt that Narcissus's mother is a very emotional person, and I like her very much.
