[Comprehensive] Digging Secrets in the Academy of Magic

Al was extremely puzzled by Lucius' look, and he tilted his head, showing a questioning look.

Lucius looked away and forked a piece of grilled mushroom on his plate: "Al, what have you been reading recently?"

Draco turned his attention to Al.He didn't remember when Al went to the library. This summer, Al either studied potions with him, practiced spells, or played with Harry.Although underage wizards cannot use magic outside of school during the summer vacation, Narcissa and Lucius are happy for them to practice magic in Malfoy Manor, so there is no need to worry about being warned by the Ministry of Magic.

"Oh, some books about blood magic." Al replied after hesitating for a moment.

He didn't know why Lucius asked such a question, maybe he just cared about his studies, it was unwise to lie, and it would be a matter of time before he was exposed.

"Why are you suddenly interested in these?" Lucius raised his eyebrows and asked.

He had taught the two children some simple blood magic, but Al was not interested in it at the time.

"Suddenly found something interesting..." Al glanced at Draco, frowned at him, and motioned him not to talk nonsense, "Draco and I are twins, and recently I discovered that there seems to be a relationship between twin wizards." Lots of fantastic connections, so…”

Al didn't say how he found out, Draco lowered his head and frowned.At that time, Madam Pomfrey used blood magic to rescue Al, and Al asked to keep it a secret from his parents. Why did Al bring it up now?

Lucius put down the fork, and Harry seemed to sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere, holding up the fork and quieting down, Narcissa and Lucius exchanged a look with a strange expression.

"Don't worry about these things for the time being. You are still too young. When you grow up, if you are still interested, I will teach you." Lucius said.

Al nodded and asked, "When do you grow up?"

Facing this question that only a child would ask, Lucius softened his expression: "When you are 17 years old, you will become adults."

After dinner, Al went back to the bedroom and lay on the bed. Before he had time to think about whether he had given Lucius something, Draco broke in.

Al said weakly: "Draco, knock on the door."

Draco and Al were as close as one person, and they lived together all the time, which reminded Draco that he needed to knock on the door, which was hard for him.

"Oh, sorry." Draco backed out, closed the door, and knocked on the door again: "Al, can I come in?"

Al: "...OK."

Draco was the only one who came in, and Harry didn't know where he was going.Al sat up and asked, "Where's Harry?"

"He's going back to do his homework first, and it's almost there." Draco ran over and sat by Al's bed, "Why did Father suddenly ask you what book you were reading? When did you go to the library? Why didn't I know? "

"You've been sticking to Harry, it's no wonder you know." Al poked him lazily, and sure enough, Draco's cheeks were flushed.

"He's a guest! I have to stay with him all the time." Draco argued, Al waved his hand and skipped the subject, "Don't you wonder what magic Madam Pomfrey used that day?"

He took Draco's hand, spreading his own aside.The palm size and finger length of the two people are exactly the same, the position and length of the two scars are also the same, and even the marks left after healing are the same.

"I looked in the school library." Draco shrugged, "but most books on blood magic are in restricted areas."

"Blood magic is subsumed into black magic?" Al asked.

"Hmm... the restricted area is not all black magic, I think." Draco thought for a while and replied, "Blood magic is very mysterious, and some things are also very dangerous."

"Madame Pomfrey shouldn't have any bad influence on the magic we use," Al said.

He knew that Draco's lost magic had been fully restored long before the holiday, and this time the magic had no effect on him, but the effect on Al seemed to be positive.

Draco had a hesitant expression on his face: "Well...probably."

"Do you know something?" Al asked sensitively.

Draco glanced at him, changed the subject and said, "You haven't used black magic indiscriminately, have you?"

"no need."

After Draco left, he found the description of the spell that he had copied down last time.

"'Magic transfer' only takes effect between twin wizards. After observation, the twins who have used this spell seem to have received a blessing or a curse. The connection between them will be closer, and the impact on each other will be great. It is more far-reaching. It should be noted that the upper limit of magic power and lifespan of one of the twins who receive the transfer magic will be affected. Whether it is positive or not requires more observation; have an inestimable impact.”

Al doesn't like this kind of ambiguous description of magic very much. Except for Potions, other disciplines are like this, and many results are "unpredictable".Even if things were going well now - Al's magic was stronger and Draco wasn't negatively affected - he still wasn't sure how it would affect the two of them.

Even Draco's original description of "can't use black magic until he is able to master it" is ambiguous. He doesn't know what level is considered capable of mastering it. magic.

--------

In the last two weeks of summer vacation, Harry still left Malfoy Manor and went to the Weasleys.

Although Draco was not very happy about this, Weasley was also Harry's friend, and he was very sensible and did not stop him.Lucius, on the other hand, scoffed at this.

"He'll see the difference between the Malfoys and the Weasleys, son," Lucius said.

During Harry's two weeks at the Malfoy Manor, Arthur did not bring the Ministry of Magic staff to check on Malfoy's house, but Lucius was still busy dealing with the contraband in the manor, and his work at the Ministry of Magic seemed to be under some pressure .Al knew that he had a grudge against Arthur, so when he knew that Lucius had decided to accompany the twins to Diagon Alley shopping before school started, Al immediately thought of Voldemort's diary.

Al once searched Malfoy Manor for a long time, but failed to find the diary.Lucius took good care of Voldemort's stuff.But Al didn't know if Lucius's camp was shaken after he almost died in the first grade, but now it seems that Lucius might at least want to use the diary to make the Weasleys suffer.

Al couldn't say how miserable he was. Once the basilisk was released, not only Muggle-born wizards would die, but even pure-blood wizards would not be spared if they stared at it.

If he was unlucky and was killed by the basilisk, things would be a big deal.

Before setting off for Diagon Alley, Al adjusted the collar of his robe and comforted himself: "It's okay, Al, you can do it, steal the diary back, so that Ginny won't be blamed."

He glanced at Draco who was flying past the window on a broom, and gloated to himself, "Draco, your rival in love is going to school."

--------

"It's the latest Nimbus 2001!"

Draco was almost all over the cabinet, his eyes gleaming with excitement.Lucius had to tear his eldest son off the glass and said sternly, "Pay attention to your manners, Draco."

"I want this, Al and I will both be on the academy team," Draco said hopefully.

"Of course you'll get it, my son will have the best stuff." Lucius raised his chin, "Ride it and blow the heads of the other academies off."

Al: "..."

Presumably Lucius was also bitter about Slytherin's Quidditch loss to Gryffindor last year.He was a Slytherin-born trustee.

The new broom and maintenance tools will be sent to Malfoy Manor together. Lucius walked quickly to the entrance of a dark alley with the two children.

Al knew from the street sign at the entrance of the alley that this was Knockturn Alley.Knockturn Alley is just like its name, dirty and cramped, filled with strange people everywhere, three well-dressed blond Malfoys are a bit out of place in the middle, of course, no one dares to disturb them.

Lucius took them straight to the Borgin-Bock store, and after telling the two children not to touch anything, he handed a box of items he had brought to the owner of the Borgin-Bock store.

The boss had a long nose and bowed his knees to Lucius.Al looked around curiously, thinking this was where Voldemort once worked.

When he turned to a cabinet taller than a person, Al suddenly heard the faint sound of breathing coming from the cabinet.

Al looked over suddenly, and he seemed to see a pair of green eyes through the gap on the cabinet.

——He suddenly remembered, before the start of the second grade, Harry went to Diagon Alley with Floo powder at Weasley, and it seemed that he called the wrong name and entered Knockturn Alley by mistake?

"What is this?" Draco also came over from the other side of the store at this time, he just looked at something called the Hand of Glory curiously for a while, but Lucius didn't like that thing.

"I don't know." Al replied.

Draco reached over, trying to pull the cabinet door open.

Al quickly blocked his hand: "Dad doesn't let us touch anything here, remember?"

Draco peeked at Lucius, who was staring at him sternly, so Draco withdrew his hand and looked at the cabinet again.

"Al, Draco, it's time to go." Lucius called the two children over with a very satisfied expression, as if his things had sold for a good price.

Al felt as if a stone had been swallowed in his stomach, it was so heavy that his breathing became heavy.

Harry discovered the family's involvement with the Dark Arts.
