After Weston stayed in the E Neipu office for a while, he walked out with a smile on his face.
Not long after Weston left, an owl flew out of Snape's office.
Malfoy Manor.
"Lucius, why did you call everyone here? Is there anything you can't write about?" the head of the Greengrass family shouted loudly after he walked out of the fireplace.
"Old man, stop arguing!" The head of the Gower family patted him on the shoulder, "You don't know Lucius's character. He won't call us here easily unless there is something serious!"
"You still understand me!" Lucius smiled slightly, nodded to the Gower family, and then said to the Greengrass family: "Sit down first, man, and wait for the others."
"Is there anyone else?" Upon hearing this, the head of the Greenglass family immediately understood that something big was going on! He stopped yelling and quickly found a seat to sit down.
One after another, the heads of the families walked out of the fireplace, the Bok family, the Aibo family...more than half of the twenty-eight sacred families arrived!
The heads of the family were not fools. When they saw these people, although they didn’t know what was going on, they also knew that it would not be something simple. Therefore, when they arrived, they all quietly found a seat and sat down, waiting for Lu
Hughes spoke.
After waiting for a while, when no one appeared again, Lucius snapped his fingers, and a house elf appeared.
"As you command, Master!" the house elf bowed deeply and said in a high voice.
"Seal the floo network temporarily. From now on, no one is allowed to enter the manor! You know what I mean!"
The house elf nodded, bowed again, snapped his fingers twice, and then disappeared.
The expressions of the family heads instantly became serious. They vaguely remembered that the last time Lucius was so solemn was when Voldemort fell. At that time, it was a life and death crisis for them!
This time, Lucius did it again, I'm afraid the matter really won't be too small!
"Everyone, I'm sorry for calling you here so suddenly!" Lucius said apologetically. All the family heads shook their heads, indicating that they didn't mind.
"To be honest, if the matter hadn't been too big, I wouldn't have done it!" Lucius smiled bitterly, took out a letter, pointed his cane, and recited a spell, "Copy into pairs!"
The letter was instantly copied into several copies.
"Everyone, take a look at this!" Lucius motioned to the family heads.
The heads of the family looked at each other, stepped forward in silence, took a letter, walked to their seats in silence, and began to read quietly.
Except for the crackling of charcoal burning in the fireplace, there was no sound in the room for a while, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly became much more solemn.
After reading the letter, the heads of the family all looked solemn.
"Old man, what do you think?" the head of the Hanbo family broke the silence and asked first.
Lucius smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I don't know what to do! You all know how big this matter is!"
"If you do a good job, not to mention the family's strength will double several times, the reputation alone will be enough to make up for the loss! But if it fails..."
Lucius did not say any more, but everyone here understood what he meant. If he failed, he would probably be the same as the Black family, or even worse than the Black family, and there would not even be a clan member in Azkaban.
"Lucius, I'm afraid you still have to make another trip for this matter!" Old Bock said in a hoarse voice.
"What do you say?" Lucius asked impatiently, and the other family heads also looked at Old Bok.
"We need to know the specific ideas of that genius!" Old Bock said slowly, "We are not short of gold galleons, but gold galleons are not brought by strong winds! We need to know how to guarantee the interests in the middle and who takes the risks.
Come and bear it!”
"The most important thing is who was involved!" Old Bock said meaningfully, "That principal, he is not a kind person..."
Lucius suddenly understood and praised sincerely: "You are worthy of being the head of the Bock family, I understand!"
"Do you have any other comments?" Lucius looked around.
The heads of the family all shook their heads in silence.
"Let's leave it like this for now. We know too little now to make a good judgment!" The head of the Greengrass family said seriously, with a gleam in his eyes, "However, it's not that we can't do anything!
You know, this matter is irritating the Ministry of Magic! At least we can test it out first!"
"What's the meaning?"
"It's very simple!" The head of the Greengrass family smiled mysteriously, "Old man, I think you should prepare a room for us all!"
Lucius thought for a moment, and instantly understood the meaning of the Greengrass family, and a smile appeared on his face; "As expected of you!"
"What a joke!" Patriarch Greengrass laughed, "I've been thinking about your two barrels of Snow Mountain Mint Julep for a long time! How about sharing them?"
"No problem! Enough!" Lucius waved his hand.
The head of the Greengrass family was overjoyed and laughed and said: "You are worthy of being the head of the Malfoy family!"
The other house owners also laughed, and the solemn atmosphere was swept away. For a moment, the entire living room was filled with fun and joy.
Office of the Minister for Magic.
"Have all the pure-blood heads arrived at the Malfoy house?" Cornelius Fudge couldn't help scratching his scalp, and one of the few hairs stubbornly fell out.
He originally cared a lot about his hair, but now he had no intention of caring about it.
Fudge thought for a moment and knocked the golden bell on the table: "Here comes someone!"
"Mr. Minister!" An Auror knocked on the door and came in.
Fudge nodded, thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Invite Director Barty Crouch over."
"Yes!" Auror nodded and walked out.
After a while, the office door was knocked again.
"Please come in!"
A middle-aged man with a goatee walked in.
"Here you come, Director Crouch!"
"Good evening, Mr. Minister!" Crouch bowed slightly, "It's so late and Mr. Minister hasn't gone home yet. You are really doing your duty!"
"It's nothing, Mr. Director!" Fudge said with a smile on his face, "Didn't Mr. Director not go back?"
"Yes, it's all for the magic world!" Crouch sighed.
"You're right, it's all for the magical world!" Fudge smiled happily. He liked this sentence.
"So, what do you want from me, Mr. Minister?" Crouch asked.
"Yes, there is a little thing!" Fudge nodded, "I heard that the Malfoy family is holding a banquet today. Didn't you be invited?"
"A banquet?" Crouch thought for a while, "It seems that I was invited, but because the affairs in the department have not been arranged, I did not go there."
"That's right!" Fudge nodded with some disappointment, his brows knitting together subconsciously.
"What's the matter, Mr. Minister?" Crouch asked without changing his expression.
"Ah, it's nothing. I'm really sorry to trouble you, Mr. Director, I'm just curious!" Fudge woke up from his thoughts and shook his head.
"Then I'll get busy first! Mr. Minister, you should go to bed early!" Crouch bowed slightly and walked out of the office.
Fudge, who was immersed in his own thoughts, naturally didn't notice that there was a sarcastic smile on the corner of Crouch's mouth...
