[HP] Marriage relationship

In June, another batch of graduates came out of Hogwarts, which also meant that the Ministry of Magic could absorb fresh blood again. After the list of assistant ministers was selected, Draco handed in the list as usual for several years. His application for leave was not approved. When he went to work the next day, he went to the director's office to inquire.

Then immediately was thrown a task.

[Officials from the British Ministry of Magic and the Ministry of Magic of several other countries held a meeting to discuss matters related to the next Triwizard Tournament. 】

Draco returned to his office with the document in his hand. The young witch sitting across from him saw him coming back and asked curiously, "Malfoy? Has your application been approved?"

"No." Draco shook his head, "I'm going to have a meeting, next year will be the top three."

The Triwizard Tournament is a friendly competition between the three largest magic schools in Europe.Held every five years, the three schools take turns hosting.This game was established more than 700 years ago and has been in a state of suspension. It has only been re-held in recent years. The first game after the rematch was held at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in England, and the second game in 1999 was held in Durmstrang, Germany. The Academy of Magic, this year happens to be the next fifth year, and the venue is the French Beauxbaton Academy of Magic.

"Is that so? It seems that my comfortable days of fishing in troubled waters are coming to an end," the witch shrugged, and then she seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked again: "Speaking of which, children nowadays are really lucky, and they can still meet such competitions." , I can meet a lot of foreign wizards, I was still suspended when I was in school, but Malfoy, you should have watched the game when you were in school, right?"

"Ah, yes!" The word suddenly evoked Draco's distant memory, and brought his thoughts back to a long time ago. While recalling, he said to his colleagues, with a smile on his face unconsciously, "I It happened to be the first three-final match after the suspension, but I was only 14 years old at the time, and I can’t remember many things clearly, I just remember that there were many wizards and foreigners, and the scene was messy.”

"Wow, that sounds really good, we just lack such a big event now, unfortunately not every game is in the UK, the last time I was in Germany, I haven't been transferred to this department, I hope to go this year France, the director can bring us together," the female colleague typed quickly on the computer, talking non-stop, perfectly embodying the conversational skills that personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should have. "But what I really want to see is the first session. A lot of rules were changed after that competition. I really want to meet the wizard who forced the three countries to change the rules of the competition. I heard that he was the leader of the Durmstrang School of Magic. It is said that he even appeared in the newspaper. Unfortunately, because of the war , the information in previous years has been almost destroyed, and now there is no relevant information outside, and Granger keeps blocking me if I want to find some internal information."

As the nagging of his colleagues gradually turned into the fragments of talking to himself, Draco could think of more and more things, those things that he thought would be blocked in the old corridor of Hogwarts with time after graduation Layers of memories were dyed with vivid colors, gradually becoming clearer.Newly learned spells, serious teachers, excited wizards and witches, tall and tall wizards, scarlet robes, and knee-length dragon leather boots knocked on the floor with crisp and rhythmic sounds, and there was a person standing at the end of the corridor waiting, The temperature of those hands is always very low, but the shape is very beautiful, and there is a feeling of being protected that has not been felt for a long time.

He has turned from a weak protected person to a protector, but he still misses that feeling.

Two days later, Draco went back to the manor to pack his luggage, and then left England amidst the background sound of his brother crying and his father's distressed coaxing.

At the same time, in the Manor of Castells in France, the person Draco was thinking about was accompanied by Odysseus to the innermost building of the manor, surrounded by layers of magic circles, and there were several teams standing around Wizards in uniform patrolled the area.

After checking the identity credentials of the two people, Alan and Odysseus handed the wands to the gatekeeper, walked familiarly to a long corridor full of rooms, and pushed the door into one of the rooms.

Unlike the cramped corridors, the room suddenly opens up, or it is more appropriate to describe it as a lobby than a room, and it is not a problem to accommodate 100 people.The three walls inside are covered with parchment papers, which are so densely packed that it is dazzling. There are one or several lines of words written on these papers.On the wall facing the door is a huge tree-shaped map. At the end of each branch is a person's name. These names are connected with silver lines, thick and thin, and the names are written in red ink. It was written, and some of the names became black, and the higher up, the more black names.This is Castei's family tree, with the names of every known family member on it. For such a family tree, a family tree is drawn in every room in this corridor, so that the family can monitor the status of the members at any time. A new member of the family uses blood to write his name on the family tree stored in the room at the end of the corridor, and his name will appear on each family tree. When the member dies, his blood will disappear and his name will change accordingly. into black.

In front of the family tree is a long table, also covered with parchment, behind which sits a young witch.

"Good day, Your Excellency, may I ask you to give me your lead?" The witch was writing furiously with a quill pen. She finished writing a piece of paper in her hand and threw it away. The parchment flew to a place on the three walls, firmly glued to it.Then, another signed parchment flew over from the end of the long table. After careful inspection, the witch picked up the seal and stamped it on the lower right corner of the parchment, and put the parchment on the stack on her right.

After finishing all this, she raised her head and was taken aback when she saw Alan, then she looked surprised and her attitude became more respectful, "Master Alan, hello." She turned to Odysseus again, and after the same greeting, Odysseus Stan took out a piece of parchment from his pocket and handed it to the witch.

"Help me hand in the last mission."

"Okay, wait a minute." The witch is obviously used to doing this, and quickly found the one signed by Odysseus from the stack of documents on the right, and she stacked the two parchments on the Together, after Odysseus confirmed it, he threw it into the stove in the center of the room until the paper disappeared. The witch turned back to the table, tapped Odysseus' name on the family tree with her hand, and took out the paper. A sign, "Here is your voucher, redeem it in room 0013."

Odysseus put away the sign, and stepped back to leave the place for Alan. Alan was silent for a while. It was too long, and he even forgot what unfinished tasks he had. He had slept for too long. It suddenly became blurred, as if covered with a layer of tulle, it was indistinct and indistinct.

Fortunately, the witch is very considerate, she took out a very thick book from the drawer, and said to Alan: "You just woke up, I will update you with all the information first, because you fell asleep too suddenly, sir. Some of the tasks have been assigned to other members of the family, and the specific list will be sent to you later. There is also a protection task, because it was stopped halfway, and it has now exceeded the task deadline. Contribution points and expenses, the suggested tasks are over there."

Alan took the paper handed over by the witch, which listed several tasks in detail, most of which he no longer had any impression of, and at the bottom was a very conspicuous bright red "failure", and the completion details behind it read "Protection The heir to the Malfoy family——Draco Malfoy reaches adulthood" and there are some additional small tasks, such as "Assist Audrey Castei to complete the task" and the like, all show [Completed], only this Protection mission failed.

"The business relationship with the Malfoy family has stabilized, and the previous engagement has been cancelled," the witch said with a smile, "However, our relationship with the Malfoy family is still friendly. Please be careful, Master Alan, to avoid suspicion!"

On the way back from receiving a new mission in the mission hall, Odysseus kept laughing at Alan, "I remember that you have never messed up a mission since you were a child. Is this the first time? It is really rare."

Alan ignored him, but Odysseus kept talking, "I heard from the old man who treated you that your habits will become more human in the future. Why are you still so cold? Something went wrong in adulthood? Can you understand me? Talking? I'm teasing you! Give me a response, why are you more bored than before."

The buzzing sound lingered in his ears like a fly, and Odysseus's throat was injured, and his voice was hoarse, which made Alan feel very uncomfortable. He stopped and asked him: "I remember you didn't have so many before." talk."

"Hold it, I'm sad," Odysseus curled his lips, looking very sad, "I don't have a beautiful little dress, and I don't have any cosmetics or bags. I feel so sad!"

The sorcerer looks like this sad little girl, this scene is really unbearable.Alan ignored it, but he kept thinking about Odysseus' words in his mind, thinking about the failed mission that exceeded the deadline, thinking about the warm feeling like being baked by a stove in his memory, and thinking about the pounding of his heart.

Obviously it has been a long time and I can't remember many things clearly, but that person's face is as clear and fresh as yesterday.When I remembered it, it wasn’t because of the mission or something, but because the simple person ran out from a certain corner of the memory, walked around in the body, and finally reached the position of the heart, and it seemed that it was very good there. Then he stayed and couldn't drive him away.

***

Thousands of years ago, a famous great magician took in two disciples, one named Kasdey and the other named Finais. Just sleeping in the ground, their grievances have been passed down from generation to generation.

On the surface, the two families have always been evenly matched, and even have the upper hand because the Finais family can accommodate talents who are not from their own family. In fact, in terms of family background and member abilities, because of the special management method, Castel The family has been keeping a steady hold on Finais, and because the Castei family never accepts wizards with foreign surnames into the main branch, even wizards who marry outside will stay away from the family, although the Finais family has been trying The person who inserted himself never succeeded. Instead, many wizards from the Castei family who received special missions changed their names and surnames and joined the Finais family with new identities.

Because the power of the two families is not much different, they have no intention of provoking disputes, but because of the Triwizard Tournament held in England ten years ago, the two most powerful wizards among the juniors of the Casdeil family died and the other fell asleep. The Si family thought carefully and wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the Castei family.

At the beginning, the Castell family suffered a lot, but it got better after Audrey returned to the family as Odysseus, and the Fines family has been dishonest in the following years .

Some time ago, the Castell family received news that the Finais family was in private contact with some Muggle leaders, wanting to purchase a batch of illegal firearms.

Although the old wizards still look down on Muggles, the new generation of wizards no longer care much about the difference between wizards and Muggles. The advanced technology of Muggles is no less than spells. It is standard, and I usually prefer to live in a Muggle place, because the transportation is convenient, the environment is good, and there are not so many complicated rules.

If the Finais family just pulled a network cable, no one would care about them, but things like guns directly touched the most sensitive string of the Castei family. No matter what their purpose is, they want to maintain the current two The stability and harmony of the whole family, this business must be destroyed.

Fortunately, the news of Alan's waking up was not widely publicized because of the concerns of the head branch of the Castei family. The person who is most suitable for this task is Alan. Just like Alan assisted Audrey in fake death at Hogwarts, they were also Alan's helpers in this mission when necessary.

It's just that Alan never expected that his mission was not over yet, so he caught sight of the person living on the apex of his heart on a certain street in France.

That person was not at all the same as in his memory, but because the memory was so clear, in Alan's view, it seemed that he had taken a normal sleep, like sitting in a rocking chair every afternoon, and then woke up, that person The child with a green face, who couldn't even recite spells, and who needed him to be by his side all the time grew up all of a sudden.

His eyebrows and eyes are still the same as before, but more mature, with more self-confidence and less arrogance in him, and his every move is completely out of the shadow of a teenager who always intends to learn from his elders. His thin body has also become tall and strong, and his suit is straight. With a portfolio in hand, it's like coming out of a meeting.

Alan looked at the past without any trace, and finally realized that many years had really passed.

Even Draco has grown into something he never imagined.

The old image was quickly covered by the new image, but Alan was a little confused. Many people and things happened not long ago to him, but in fact many years have passed. Because his memory is not very deep, he has not felt it. Seeing this kind of time disorder, but now it is clearly felt in Draco.

The man who was not very similar to the memory was a few steps away, his eyes were fixed on him, his lips were trembling, and his pale face was flushed with excitement.

"Alan..." The name rolled silently on the tip of his tongue and was swallowed by him. Draco almost thought he was hallucinating. He stood there in a daze, knowing that the figure was getting closer and closer to him. , and then pass by.

The author has something to say:

continue to fix the typo
