Harry Potter's Bastard

Solim knew exactly what Lucius meant by this sentence. He feared that his choice would put the Malfoys in great trouble, because at that time, whether it was from Voldemort or from the Ministry of Magic, there was nothing he could do about it, and he could only hope that he could help Draco in a time of crisis, and maybe leave a little hope for the Malfoy family.

The problems of reality, and the imminent nature of these realities, made Lucius completely unreserved as an adult when facing Solim. He was out of proportion now, because to anyone in the know, the Malfoys were now on the cusp. Any choice made by Lucius would have a huge impact on the future Malfoy family. A family like the Malfoys would definitely have to choose a side between Voldemort and the Ministry of Magic, and there was no such thing as neutrality.

If you want to stay neutral in the face of the impending storm, you either have fallen to the point where there is no value in wooing us, like the current Weasleys, or like Selwyn, who has a deep foundation and great strength to ensure that neither side will have an impact on you.

The most uncomfortable thing is the Malfoy family: they have some strength and status, and they have the value of being co-opted, but they don't have the strength to protect themselves. The Malfoy family is powerful, wealthy, and well-connected in the wizarding world, which is the value of the Malfoy family, as long as they can master the Malfoy family, then these things that the Malfoy family has can be used for them. And Voldemort also took a fancy to these characteristics of pure-blood families, or temptation, or coercion, in short, many pure-blood families in Ying Country were gathered by Voldemort. These families are not willing to be at the mercy of Voldemort, but they can't help it, their skills are not as good as others, they can't beat Voldemort, and they want to ensure the continuation of the family, so they can only compromise.

After pondering for a moment, Solim spoke: "Uncle Lucius, you have investigated me, so you must also know that although I am also surnamed Selwyn, with my status in the family...... I don't think there's anything I can do about it, I don't have any say in the family. "

Looking at Lucius's gloomy face, Solim continued, "But it's not difficult to save the Malfoy family. "

Lucius looked at Solim, waiting for him to continue.

"Draco must have told you what happened at school last term, presumably that's why you're upset, uncle. You and I both know very well: once that man returns, Malfoy will not be able to hide. "

As he spoke, Solim pointed to Lucius' left arm, both of them knew what was there.

"He just wants to use Malfoy's connections and money in the wizarding world to use these things to influence and control the Ministry of Magic. Then, when Malfoy still has use value, some small unhappiness between you can also be exposed, and in this regard, as long as the Malfoy family still has use value, that person will not be too persecutive to you. "

Lucius listened to Solim's words and nodded.

"But...... In the same way, as long as Malfoy still has the value of use, then you can't get rid of him, when you want to get rid of him and draw a line with him, that is, when Malfoy loses his use value, Uncle Lucius, you have been in contact with that person for a long time, and you must know much more than me, how he deals with people who have no use value. "

"The current situation is not as good as before, even if he does come back, as long as he doesn't want to start a war with the entire wizarding world of Ying Country as soon as he comes back, then he will definitely block the news of his return, and he will definitely need a foothold as a base camp for gathering Death Eaters," Speaking of this, Solim looked at Lucius and said, "Uncle, might as well guess where he will choose this base camp?"

Lucius couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard Solim's words, does this still need to be guessed? It must be our Malfoy Manor, which occupies a large area and has many rooms, and it is not a matter of cramming two or three hundred people here. Besides, where else would he choose if he didn't choose Malfoy Manor? Lestrange? Their family only had a three-story cottage, and they could live in a dozen people if they died. Nott: They're not as good as Lestrange. The two siblings are still wanted by the Ministry of Magic, and the Aurors have been hunting them down, so they don't even have a decent place to live, so they can't be counted on. The same is true of Antonin Dolohov and a few others, who are having a hard time under the Ministry of Magic, and Avery complained about it at the last meeting, but they are all scared anyway, and it is better to work under the Dark Lord.

However, as Solim said, when Voldemort does return, he will definitely find a place to use as his base camp. Malfoy Manor, on the other hand, is the obvious choice. In this case, how could Malfoy refuse Voldemort's request? Don't let Voldemort live in? That would be very easy to do, just kill Malfoy, and the manor would naturally be Voldemort's.

"If Uncle really wants to draw a line with that person, then this manor must not be wanted. Solim said, "As long as you are the owner of this manor, then he will definitely find you." And even if you want to sell this manor, you can't just give it to others, you must do enough superficial work. "

Listening to Solim's words, Lucius smiled wryly. He understood what Solim meant, since it was very likely that the Dark Lord would live in Malfoy Manor after his return, then he would sell the manor before that, and it was best to take over the manor from the kind of family or organization that the Dark Lord was afraid of. This will ensure that the manor will not be spoiled by the Dark Lord and his minions. However, this manor is the ancestral property of the Malfoy family, and Lucius should not really sell it out, just thinking about it will make him suffocate.

"Isn't there any other way? Lucius' cheeks trembled.

"Truth be told, unless he is killed in the very short period of time after his return, Malfoy will not be able to hide from him. I know what you mean by you, uncle, and want me to connect Malfoy and Selwyn so that Malfoy is under Selwyn's protection. However, I think it would be a fool's decision even if it succeeded. Solim spread his hands.

If things really turned out as Lucius expected, and Selwyn sheltered Malfoy, then what would Voldemort think? Okay, okay, you Malfoy, your wings are stiff, you dare to change jobs, you don't even give me a resignation report, you want to leave directly? You think beautifully! Do your spring and autumn dreams! He will definitely, definitely, absolutely kill the Malfoys, even if they are guilty of it, even if they are guilty of it.

If Malfoy really escaped Voldemort's grasp in this way, then what would the rest of Voldemort's men think? Oh, as long as I find a big thick leg and hug me, Voldemort will take me without a problem, you see that's what Malfoy did, and he's still alive and well, let's go find a thigh hug. Well, except for those Death Eaters who were loyal to Voldemort, the rest of the people who had joined Voldemort's command by coercion and lure would definitely run out - let's not discuss whether these people have the ability to find a big thick leg.

"So, in order to prevent this from happening, he will definitely make an example by killing the Malfoys. "

"Are we Malfoy...... Is there really just a way to get us out of this catastrophe?" Lucius's expression was as calm as ever, but his bruised hands betrayed his heart.

"Uncle Lucius," Solim smiled, "I don't believe it, haven't you Death Eaters who escaped studied why that man didn't die completely?" Solim crossed his hands, "You know, there are very few ways to prevent unnatural death, but that doesn't mean there aren't. "

Listening to Solim's words, Lucius trembled his lips, and finally spat out a word that frightened him with difficulty:

"Horcruxes. "
