Tall chimneys stand quietly in the dark haze, like ghosts from the past era. This abandoned industrial city is full of decay.
Walking along a river full of sewage to the second half, passing through a worn-out railing, you can see a narrow path paved with soft cobblestones.
Both sides of the lane are full of dilapidated houses. Almost no one wants to manage them anymore. There are random attics built everywhere.
"Is this here?" Narcissa pinched the fingers of her right hand with her left hand nervously.
"Well." Lucius leaned on a cane with a snake-headed copper head and looked up at a house with a spire that resembled a crooked wizard's hat. His eyes were full of nostalgia, "It was summer vacation, and I took Bella and Evan with me.
·Rozier came here to see Severus. Although he was very angry that we came to visit him, he still entertained us warmly."
Narcissa pursed her lips, looked around, and sighed slightly, "No one likes to show their embarrassed side in front of their friends."
"That's not the case." Lucius smiled slightly, "Severus is a very proud guy. He has such an excellent magical talent, invented so many magics, and even corrected the mistakes in the textbooks. His embarrassing background makes him better.
Hair can bring out his power."
"He just doesn't want us to come into contact with his Muggle father." Lucius' expression became weird, "The old man has a very weird temper, and Severus knows that we discriminate against Muggles and is worried that his father will be hurt.
"
Narcissa suddenly became nervous, "You didn't hurt his father at that time, right? After all, we are here to beg him now..."
"Ha~" Lucius sneered, with a look of helplessness on his face, "Mr. Snape, this weird old man, is a very powerful person. He poured a whole bottle of low-quality wine into my mouth."
Time passed so fast, it seemed like it was just a blink of an eye. The scene when several of their friends came to comfort Severus, who had his girlfriend stolen, was still vivid in front of his eyes.
Now, their children have grown up to look like them back then.
"Let's go."
As Lucius knocked on the door, the door opened, and they finally saw Severus Snape.
"You should not come to me at this time, especially when you are planning to completely move to America and choose to stand under the command of the Dark Lord..."
Snape's eyes were dim, and he just stared out the window at the cracks in the wall of the neighbor's house with some silence.
Gradually, he came here less and less. Today, he made an appointment to meet here through an owl. Only then did Snape realize that the edge of this deserted city was becoming increasingly dilapidated.
"Severus, you know, what I want has never changed, and that is the development of the family." Lucius rubbed the copper snake head of the cane with his palm, feeling helpless, "Is this Dumbledore or Antoine?
What Dongdu can't give me, I see hope in the Dark Lord."
Snape looked back at Lucius, "Then why did you come to me?"
"My child, Draco, I can't worry about him." Lucius sighed.
"Then take him with you!" Snape turned around and sat on the single sofa, as if he didn't want to pay attention to Lucius.
"Severus..."
"We all know what kind of person the Dark Lord is. He always likes to drag people down, making everyone as dirty as him and having no choice."
Lucius invited his wife Narcissa to sit down on the sofa next to him, and looked at Snape seriously, "I can almost guess what Draco will face when he follows me to America."
"I don't want this. Draco is still young and he has more possible futures."
"Severus, I can only leave Draco here. Anthony Weiss will come and protect him, but this is just shelter after all. I hope someone can take good care of him."
"Severus, looking at our past relationship..."
Snape raised his head to look at them and sneered, "It is because of our past friendship that I will meet you and sit down to talk. Otherwise, I should kill you immediately."
Suddenly, everyone fell silent.
"Severus..." Lucius gripped the cane tightly, "I'm glad to see you finally come out of the past feelings and start to welcome..."
"Don't talk about this!" Snape growled.
Lucius just said to himself, "You and Jillian Nicklaus will eventually have children, right? If you take care of my children, Draco will also take care of your children in the future."
"He is left alone and helpless in Europe. The only people who can get help are you and Anthony Weiss. The only people who will be close to him are you two."
Snape's expression was suddenly filled with ridicule, "Lucius, you are always so greedy, you want everything, and you are full of calculations."
Lucius just smiled and didn't mind Snape's words. He knew that this old friend looked sharp and mean, but he was the most tender-hearted person among all the people he knew, and he had an exceptionally soft heart.
He looked at Snape pleadingly and said humbly, "Severus, for the sake of the past, help me take care of my child!"
He had never been so humble in front of this good friend, not even when he was at his lowest after the Dark Lord's defeat.
Lucius has this proud qualification. He grew up in the Malfoy family, one of the twenty-eight sacred families. He was very talented and got all the way to the president of the student union (boys representative). He recruited a group of friends to follow the footsteps of the Dark Lord. Later, even if
The Dark Lord failed and escaped unscathed. He has great influence in the Ministry of Magic and magic schools.
He never lowered his head.
In addition to facing Voldemort, who could give his family more glory, and... facing Snape, his former subordinate.
Snape looked at Lucius with a dark expression, and then at Narcissa who was covering her mouth to prevent herself from crying, but her face was already filled with tears.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay."
He spoke softly.
Lucius immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up slowly, saluted Snape with his wife behind him to express his gratitude, and placed the copper snake-headed cane that had never left his body horizontally next to Snape.
On the table.
"What is this for?" Snape frowned and looked at Lucius. He did not accept the transaction, only the emotional sustenance.
But Lucius obviously didn't think so. He took a deep look at the cane and said, "There is a church in Godric's Hollow. Behind the church is a cemetery. Next to the cemetery is an abandoned steeple house because the cemetery is haunted.
"
"That is a private library used by the Malfoy family to store backup magical information. This stick is the key."
Snape didn't even look at it, he just said coldly, "Take it away and get out!"
Lucius ignored him and continued, "After entering this library, the third row of the shelves on the left contains all the information on the magical prop "Knight Bus" made by the Malfoy family for the Ministry of Magic in 1857."
"I have heard that Anton is asking Minister Fudge to help find a way to obtain it within the Ministry of Magic. But this is destined to be a useless effort. The information our Malfoy family left for the Ministry of Magic is incomplete. Minister Fudge is trying to find a way to bypass the contract.
Even if you use magic to obtain the magic box that stores the information, it won't be of much use to Anton."
"In addition, walking along the left wall toward the innermost row, the bookshelves in the last row are all collected research manuscripts of the book "The Secret of Advanced Black Magic" by magic masters of various eras."
"In there, there is content about Horcruxes."
"Believe me, whatever the Ministry of Magic has is available in that library, and whatever the Ministry of Magic doesn't have is available in that library!"
This is the heritage of an ancient pure-blood family.
Oh, no, it is the heritage of two pure-blood families, the Malfoy family and the Black family.
Lucius's wife Narcissa brought a large number of magic books from her family when she got married, and it was the most abundantly filled library ever.
After all, the Black family at that time had no male members at all (everyone thought Sirius would die in Azkaban Prison).
"Severus, keep it for me and give it to Draco when you see fit when he grows up."
Lucius' tone even sounded a bit like he was explaining his funeral arrangements.
