Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"Yes! Yes, that's right—Miss Lily Evans, um...that's how your mother was when she was young..."

"No, it's Lily Potter."

Harry didn't seem to agree with what Slughorn called his mother.

"Oh, then it was Lily Potter." The fat old man didn't want to worry about his surname. He quickly passed this little contradiction. "Want to hear me talk about the past when your mother was a student? ?"

To be honest, Harry really wanted to hear it, but he knew it must not be now.And instead of hearing it from Slughorn, he felt that he might as well ask Sirius and Lupin another day!

"Uh, I think we can pick another time—" Harry shook his head quickly, "You know, breakfast in the auditorium is probably ready."

"Ha! I'm hungry when you say that!" Slughorn raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "In that case, dear Mr. Potter, why don't you tell me what you are coming for today? Or maybe...we might have a chat on the way to the auditorium?"

Harry ran over this early, obviously with a purpose.Otherwise, judging from the attitude he showed a few times before, it would be a fantasy to want him to come here on his own initiative.

Under Slughorn's gaze, Harry looked a little cramped.If I want to apply for a reduction in the workload, I whirl my throat, but I just can't tell.

After a while, he finally spoke.

"Professor Slughorn, it's like this—"

...

Speaking of which, during this period of time, whether it was Harry or Maca, their lives were so easy, that they had the time to live up to some mundane things.

But when someone is slack, someone is urgent. Compared with them, Master Draco still seems to have not escaped from last year's winter.

Draco's mother has disappeared, and there is no word from him, no one knows where she has gone.Even if Lucius had already activated all the contacts he could use, he still could not find his wife.

Because he really didn't want to study at school, Draco eventually persuaded his father to leave school temporarily.

After the Malfoy family experienced Voldemort's resurrection, not only was their vitality severely injured, they also lost more than half of the many family relationships they had in the past.Among them, at least more than half of the friendly families were declining with Voldemort's failure again.You know, the vast majority of the Death Eaters were members of the pureblood wizard family.

Now Lucius was surprised to find that he even seemed to be short on the manpower to find his wife.

In order to find clues as soon as possible, Draco asked to go home and joined the emergency search and rescue queue.Lucius couldn't help but sigh in secret that his son has really grown up... but in the most sad way.

Earlier this morning, although Lucius, who was the dispatcher, had always been in the manor house, he was actually the most tired one.Don't even look at him sitting in a chair all the time, but both body and mind are exhausted to the limit.

When was the last time you went to bed?The day before yesterday?Or was it earlier?

Lucius flipped through the short letters sent back by several search teams, as well as the suspicious information that came from all directions.Among the seemingly many notes and notes, there may not even be one that is actually useful.But he can't give up, he must constantly search, compare, analyze, and then arrange the search and rescue team to investigate and inquire.

He felt that his head was swollen with throbbing pains, as if it would explode at any time.

"Where is Draco?"

As if he had just remembered it, he suddenly raised his head and looked out the window.It was already bright, but the son who left with the team last night has not returned yet.

If this doesn't work, you don't need to rest, but the baby boy can't sleep!Although he reluctantly agreed to let Draco go home and join the search and rescue.

Suddenly, a flutter of wings came in from the front living room. Soon, an owl grabbed an envelope and walked through the living room and the corridor to find him exactly.

Is it another new message?Maybe it was from the son?Is the news I got last night a correct clue?

Lucius hurriedly reached out to grab the letter, but his head was dizzy, almost lying directly on the messy desk.

Fortunately, maybe it's just the body reminding him that he needs to rest, at least not to the limit.

He took the envelope that the owl had handed over with his paw in one hand, and habitually went to the drawer under him to take out the potion bottle with the other hand.

"Oh no……"

There seemed to be only empty bottles left in the drawer.

Lucius put the bottle aside, no longer thinking about it, but planning to tear open the envelope without saying a word.However, he was about to tear it, and a mark on the envelope immediately caught his sight.

"Hogwarts?" He paused, then rubbed his temples vigorously to relieve the pain, so that he could focus his mind more. "Is it about Draco?"

He settled for a while, then opened the envelope and took out a folded piece of letter paper from the inside.But when he unfolded it, he suddenly realized that he had guessed wrong.

This letter is not about the son, or even from Hogwarts.He was sure that this letter was probably from the mysterious wizarding organization that Dumbledore had founded.

But in the letter, he conveyed a simple message:

"Narcissa appeared in Berlin, Germany."

To talk about what the Order of the Phoenix is ​​best at, some people may say that it is the ability to deal with dark wizards. Although this is true, they are actually better at finding things and finding people.In the Order of the Phoenix, there are various members with different origins, and the roles they play in the magical world are even more varied.

With such a composition, the layers that the Order of the Phoenix can involve are closely distributed to every corner of the magic world.Major events are supported by Maca and Kingsley, and minor events are supported by Mondungus and others. There is almost no line to miss.

Just like the trail of Lucius’ wife Narcissa Malfoy this time, some of Mondungus’s friends and fox friends inadvertently heard from a German man when they were discussing a business about the recycling of old flying broomsticks. .

Of course, Mondungus would not care at first, but when he was chatting casually, he broke the news to Sirius.

The Malfoy family is known to many people, and the things they are arbitrarily sending more people to search cannot be carried out silently.The incident of Narcissa's disappearance has long spread among the families.

But when Sirius heard the news from Mondungus, his face looked a little stiff.

In the final analysis, Narcissa Malfoy was also a member of the Black family before marrying, and even his cousin like Bellatrix in terms of seniority.On weekdays, he hates these two cousins ​​as much as he hates them. One is a mad woman and the other is an arrogant. In short, they are not normal people.

But to say that Narcissa disappeared suddenly, this way of keeping away from his sight was not acceptable to him.

What's more, Narcissa is always better than Bellatrix's cousin, at least it seems to be a "person" with some feelings overall.

But even so, Sirius still didn't say a word, and finally decided to deliver this news to Lucius, Lupin, who was a quiet bystander.

He and Sirius have been in friendship since childhood, and he can see clearly how the other party's heart is twisting.Since Sirius could hardly speak, Lupin would act for him as the "good old man" who didn't care about the predecessors.

At this moment, Lucius could not help feeling extremely heavy while holding this letter paper.

He and Dumbledore’s organization had a very direct friction. When Voldemort first got on the ground, he secretly participated in the fight.And this time, he was even forced to stand on the opposite side of confronting this organization.

But now that Voldemort was defeated and lost, he not only got Lucius Malfoy out of Azkaban by Maca, but now he also got the latest clues from his hopeless wife Narcissa.It is naturally impossible to say that he does not feel ashamed in his heart.

Although in many situations, Lucius made his choice when forced by the situation, but the cause of these things was because he had been trying to profit from it, which was an indisputable fact.

"Hogwarts..."

He chanted this word silently, and from it he tasted a feeling that he didn't have in the past.At the beginning, I was also a student of this school, but what kind of power made me the opposite of those guys?

"When I find Narcissa, should I think of a way to get Draco and those Gryffindors together?"

Lucius was stunned by his thought, but he hurriedly got up holding the letter paper, and paced back and forth in the room.

Before thinking about those things, he had to find his wife.Otherwise, even if he let his son go back to Hogwarts again, how can the child have the mind to continue his studies?

"Berlin, Germany...?" While wandering, Lucius desperately searched through the memories in his mind. "There should also be a few families over there that have had a history of friendship with my Malfoy family. I should ask them for help... ...No, I think I should go to Germany myself..."

Thinking of this, he immediately used Apparition once, and then went to the owl hut in the manor.
