Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 484 Forgive you for the second time
"They were injured in the chaos!"

Lucius Malfoy looked at Fudge angrily and said.

The light in Amosta's eyes wavered slightly for a moment, then stabilized again.

It was impossible for Dumbledore to like Lucius Malfoy, who had been thinking about how to bring him down and had taken action before, causing a bad influence. However, he heard him say that his wife and son were injured in tonight's attack. , Dumbledore immediately showed concern,
"What's going on, Lucius?" Dumbledore asked even faster than Fudge. "What harm did little Mr. Malfoy suffer?"

The Malfoy family, especially Lucius Malfoy, had given a lot of financial support to the Ministry of Magic that he ran in the past. When he heard that Lucius Malfoy's wife and son were injured, Fudge couldn't treat it as a trivial matter. .Now that Dumbledore had asked, Fudge stopped talking and just looked at Lucius Malfoy with the same concern.

"We have a terrorist attack!"

Lucius said with rare impoliteness,

"During the evacuation, Narcissa and I fought against the dark wizard who launched the attack in order to protect a little Swiss girl who was lost with her parents. We drove the guy away, but Narcissa was hit by a very powerful weapon. He is still in a coma due to the coma spell, and Draco also accidentally injured his arm!"

"Oh, what a misfortune--"

Fudge said with a hint of shame,
"This accident happened too suddenly. I mean, the Ministry of Magic was not fully prepared. I should go see your wife and children, Lucius, but it will have to wait for a while. You must also know , the Ministry of Magic is currently facing challenges, and I can’t leave.”

Will the Malfoy family stand up and fight a dark wizard for a little girl they have never met?Not even Dumbledore would believe this kind of thing.

A strange light flashed in Dumbledore's blue eyes, and he immediately realized that Lucius Malfoy ran to the Ministry of Magic to find Fudge at this moment, and the purpose was definitely not just to complain to Fudge.He looked at Amosta, only to find that Amosta had an expressionless face. Facing his inquiring gaze, Amosta just moved the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a brief sarcastic smile. .

When his eyes fell on Lucius Malfoy again, Dumbledore's eyes became dark.

Fudge didn't notice the secret communication between Dumbledore and Amosta. Facing the grumbling Lucius Malfoy, he was a little embarrassed and a little guilty, until——
"Of course I am aware of the difficulties you and the Ministry of Magic are facing at the moment, Minister Fudge—"

Lucius Malfoy, who has always been smooth, has never shown his face in front of the Minister of Magic in his life, but tonight, when facing Fudge, his back was straight, and there was fire in his light gray eyes.
"But I have to seek justice for Narcissa and Draco, right? Minister, I have to find out what this group of evil dark wizards really want to do and why they launched the attack-"

Lucius gasped, glanced quickly at Amosta and Dumbledore, and said to Fudge in a stiff tone,

"I wanted the truth, so I asked my friends in the ministry, and someone told me that the ministry had captured a living person --"

"What do you want to do, Lucius!"

Fudge, who had been gentle just now, became wary the moment Lucius Malfoy mentioned Melanoff in a roundabout way, and his eyes were full of vigilance without any emotion from the past.

Fudge has decided to adopt Amosta's suggestion, and Melanov, who was captured by Amosta, is the most important person for Fudge at the moment. He wants to use this bad guy with the same heinous crimes to fight with the British The world of magic intersects with the world's magic civilization!

The biggest difficulty in running this matter was keeping it secret. Lucius Malfoy actually dared to walk into his office arrogantly and wanted to inquire about Melanoff. This made Fudge feel wary.

"Who told you that the Ministry of Magic had captured someone alive? Lucius, what do you want to know?"

Fudge snapped.

Lucius Malfoy's deliberate toughness was worthless in front of the angry Minister of Magic. Facing Fudge's questioning, Lucius, who was still confused about the situation, looked stunned and his tone suddenly dropped.

"A, a friend from the Ministry, Minister Fudge--"

Lucius pursed his white lips and tried to act normal.
"I just, just hope that I can know as soon as possible why those dark wizards committed crimes and who was commanding them. Narcissa and Draco, my wife and son were injured. Minister, I have the right to know this. thing, so after I heard that the ministry was conducting an interrogation, I immediately came over to have a look——"

"Just because of this?"

Fudge looked at Lucius Malfoy suspiciously.

"That's absolutely true, Minister Fudge!"

Lucius Malfoy said sincerely.This sounds like a reasonable statement, but Lucius Malfoy's reputation for cunning is very famous among the pure-blood wizarding families. Fudge, who has regained his vigilance as a politician, did not choose to believe it, or rather, regardless of Lucius Malfoy. ·For what reason Malfoy came to inquire about the information, Fudge would never let him see Melanoff.

"The ministry is investigating, Lucius. A notice will be issued later. What you should do now is go back and spend time with your wife and son."

Fudge said warily.

Lucius Malfoy's unexpected visit and the reason he claimed gave Fudge a sense of crisis. Before the night was over, the news had already begun to spread, and God knew how much vital information would be leaked next.

Rufus was interrogating Melanoff, and Fudge immediately realized that he had to stop Rufus. If he messed up the black witch, then he wouldn't be able to let Melanoff stand up to Cliona. Face, was tried by the Wizengamot, and was imprisoned in Azkaban by dementors under the witness of a reporter from the Daily Prophet.

"If there is nothing else, you can leave, Lucius. The Ministry of Magic will explain the truth about the attack as quickly as possible. In addition, you can also help spread the word. The Ministry of Magic will definitely catch these dark wizards. leader, with the help of Amosta.”

Lucius's heart paused for several seconds because of these words. In addition, the chill in Amosta's smile towards him made Lucius Malfoy feel like he was standing in the ice and snow without any clothes. Every inch of skin was numb.

Lucius Malfoy has been dealing with politicians in the Ministry of Magic for many years, and he is well aware of the nature of these politicians. Under normal circumstances, they are willing to do things that violate the law for the sake of golden galleons, but when the matter involves their own status, No matter how close the friendship was before, they will immediately turn against each other.

And the conspiracy he planned this time falls into the category that is absolutely unforgivable.

When he thought that the Malfoy family might end up with him, Lucius Malfoy's face turned livid, and the clenched fists hidden in his sleeves trembled.

Fudge's mind was focused on Melanoff who was being interrogated, and he didn't notice Lucius Malfoy's uncomfortable expression. He shouted impatiently,

"Lucius?"

"Oh, I'm here, Minister—"

Lucius, whose breath was frozen, responded hurriedly and looked at Fudge, only to find that the Minister of Magic looked at him with an obvious hint, telling him to get out of here.

Fudge, Dumbledore, and Amosta left the Minister's Office together, with Lucius Malfoy following them in confusion.

Ding--
The elevator opened, and a cold station announcement came from the car. Fudge and Dumbledore took the lead on the elevator, but Amosta suddenly stopped.
"Minister and Principal Dumbledore, you go down first. I will have a few words with Mr. Malfoy about Draco's performance in my class."

Fudge blinked in surprise, and after coming back to his senses, he said reluctantly,

"Oh at times like this, well, Amosta, you are such a responsible professor, as soon as possible--"

Amosta smiled and nodded. When the elevator car disappeared from sight, Amosta slowly turned around and looked at Lucius Malfoy.

Although his head was in chaos due to fear, Lucius was not so stupid that Amosta Brain wanted to talk to him about Draco's class results.

"Mr. Blaine"

To be honest, Lucius would rather be thrown directly into Azkaban by the Ministry of Magic than face Amosta Braine alone. Last time at the Leaky Cauldron, this young and powerful wizard brought him He had only experienced fear from the Dark Lord, and tonight, Amosta Braine finally showed his dominance to the wizarding world!
boom!
The face of Amosta in front of him was expressionless, but the light in his pair of light purple eyes was so cold that it seemed to freeze a person's soul. Under the invisible influence of the surging magic power, the lights in the corridor flickered on and off frequently. Faster and faster until it explodes!
The exploding sound of the light bulb was like a heavy hammer hitting Lucius Malfoy's heart, and he fell to the ground with a faint sound.

"This is the second time I forgive you, Lucius Malfoy. There will be no next time."

Amosta boarded the elevator and disappeared on this floor, leaving only Lucius Malfoy, who was pale and bloodless, facing the dark elevator shaft in a daze.
