Hogwarts Asylum

Lucius read the letter completely and communicated with Narcissa for a long time before finally making a decision.

He immediately notified other members of the Hogwarts School Board, and successfully held a school board meeting at Malfoy Manor during lunch time. However, the current Hogwarts Headmaster and those close to Dumbledore were not invited to the meeting. The school director who cannot be defeated for the time being.

In the conference room of Malfoy Manor, a group of gorgeously dressed wizards and wizards sat at a round table, drinking afternoon tea and listening to Lucius's impassioned speech.

"Albus Dumbledore is no longer satisfied with just controlling the administrative affairs of Hogwarts. Everyone, he is going to start attacking us! His desire for power has reached an incredible level! This time it's me, Mal. Fujia, what about next time? Who will it be? Knott? Rozier? Travers? Avery? Or who?"

Lucius looked around the entire conference room, and every time a name was called, he looked at the owner of the name.

The people named by Lucius did not react at all, which made it difficult for Lucius to judge what these people were thinking.

The meeting room fell silent.

After a long time, an old voice sounded from the southeast corner, and the old man who meticulously took care of his white hair opened his mouth and said: "Malfoy, you only invited us pure-bloods. It's hard for people not to believe that you are planning to do this." Anything, of course, we don’t mind being at your disposal, as long as you can afford the price.”

A woman whose voice made people feel numb just by listening to her voice took over the old man's words. This was a very charming witch. She was wearing a dark purple tube top dress, and a necklace made of dozens of purple and pink diamonds hung around her neck. The necklace formed makes it obvious at a glance that this is a lady who is either rich or noble.

She said with spring in her eyebrows: "I don't mind either, Lucius, I don't ask a high price, as long as you stay with me for one day, hahaha."

"Narcissa is outside, Mrs. Avery, put away your arrogance that has nowhere to go, otherwise I wouldn't mind disciplining Scott's widow." A middle-aged black-haired wizard wearing a golden magic robe He opened his mouth and scolded.

"Hydra, we all know that you can't accept that Scott died in Azkaban without any reason, but there is no need for you to act like this." An old witch said, her voice a little hoarse and low. , as if he had been hurt in some way, "We said we would not touch the Avery family, and we will never touch it."

"The Ministry of Magic will pay the price, sooner or later." A fat middle-aged wizard who was stuffing dessert into his mouth agreed.

Ever since Mrs. Avery spoke out, the topic in the conference room has gradually been directed to the Ministry of Magic and the surviving members of the families who were imprisoned in Azkaban. No one discussed what Lucius said. .

"Everyone, haven't I made my words clear enough?" Lucius knocked on the table, "Isn't Dumbledore's behavior enough to attract your attention? Or have you already agreed to sacrifice my family? "

"Of course we can't let you sacrifice the Malfoy family," said the old man who was the first to speak, "but, you know, if Dumbledore really wanted power, he could have been directly elected as the Minister of Magic instead of letting an incompetent person The fat pig who is too obedient and loves to give speeches comes to power.”

"What do you mean? Old Nott, are you mocking me?" The fat middle-aged wizard glared at the old man.

"That's enough, Burst, don't always pretend to be stupid. Of all of you here, who doesn't know the basics? Who doesn't know everyone's virtues? This is a conference room, not Diagon Alley!" The old witch said Even if a possible scolding was stopped.

Bosted didn't refute and continued to eat snacks in silence.

"You have to tell me what you want to do, Malfoy. Although there is still plenty of time before my appointment in the afternoon, I don't want to waste my time here with you guys." With that said, the middle-aged wizard in gold robe took out his hand. He took out a gold pocket watch and checked the time.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Lucius slowly said: "No matter what Dumbledore's conspiracy is, turning Draco back to Slytherin is where he originally wanted to go."

"We all know that's impossible. In the thousands of years since Hogwarts was founded, there has been no precedent for this. Let's try another one, Malfoy."

"Perhaps you can bring little Malfoy back and send him to Durmstrang. It just so happens that Karkaroff is short of money recently."

"What happened to the traitor Karkaroff?"

Every time when we talked about serious business, someone always interrupted on purpose, which made Lucius very angry and helpless. Every meeting with this group of people would take a long time.If it weren't for Dumbledore being involved, no one would be talking about the topic so quickly today.

Lucius suddenly felt nostalgic for the days when that person was still there. At that time, there was no need to waste time in meetings.

"Since you all agree that Draco was assigned to Gryffindor because of Dumbledore's conspiracy, then as the victim of the Malfoy family, the supply of supplies for Hogwarts next year will be left to me."

"impossible!"

"Malfoy, you are too greedy."

"How dare you think about it, Malfoy, that's a business worth tens of thousands of galleons!"

Sure enough, when it came to money, Dumbledore was better than Dumbledore. Everyone in the conference room fiercely rejected Lucius's request.

"What if I leave Draco in Gryffindor to spy on Dumbledore?"

The conference room became quiet again, with several people thinking thoughtfully.

"Twenty percent at most," Old Nott said, "I will give you the share of the absent Lestrange family. I will also give you the share of the Weasley family. Anyway, those pure-blood scum have no money to participate in this matter. "

"Impossible!" The middle-aged man in gold robe objected strongly, "Our family has always been responsible for the Weasley family. This was agreed upon from the beginning!"

"You have been benefiting for nearly a hundred years, Travers, it's time to let go." The old witch said.

A middle-aged witch who had been silent spoke up and echoed the old witch.

"Then why don't you, Rosier, give up the share of the Gaunt family?" Travers sneered, then looked at the middle-aged witch, "And you, Parkinson, why don't you give up the share of the Longbottom family?" come out?"

Travers began to name those who controlled the shares of other declining families. Although each share did not have much money, this hole must not be opened, otherwise it would be regarded as a sign of weakness by others. Then Just wait to be suppressed.

The conference room was in chaos, a new round of back-and-forth started, and Travers stopped mentioning his afternoon appointment.

Lucius looked at this scene and secretly smiled.

After discussing it with Narcissa, he finally decided to keep Draco in Gryffindor.

But this must not be their initiative, so we must first characterize this matter as Dumbledore's conspiracy, and then give everyone a reason to keep Draco in Gryffindor.

As for what Dumbledore's conspiracy is, it doesn't matter. As Old Nott said, if Dumbledore wants power, he can directly become the Minister of Magic.

Now that the goal has been achieved, it is already a consensus that Dumbledore has a conspiracy, and Draco is "forced" to stay in Gryffindor just to spy on Dumbledore.

The amount of galleons Lucius was about to earn from this was not taken into consideration. The symbolic meaning of the money was more important. It symbolized Draco's "sacrifice".
