Chapter 31 Autumn in September
After leaving Hogwarts School, Lucius had the house-elf Dobby Apparate him back to Malfoy Manor.
"Dad, where have you been? Why did it take you so long to come back?" Draco Malfoy, the youngest son, greeted him warmly.
Lucius tapped Draco on the shoulder with his snake-headed cane and said seriously, "Have you finished reading all the books I told you to read?"
"Uh, a book? I read, I read part of it..." Little Malfoy immediately lowered his head guiltily.
“Then go back to your room and continue watching!” Lucius said sternly.
"Okay, Dad, I know, I'll go right now!" Draco immediately went back to his room obediently.
Seeing his son leave so obediently, Lucius's expression softened somewhat.
“Lucius, Draco is just a child. Do you have to be so harsh on him?” A blonde woman walked over and said with a hint of helplessness in her voice.
“Narcissa, he is our only son and the future head of the Malfoy family. How can we let our guard down? If he can’t even compare to those lowly half-blood wizards and Mudbloods in the future, how can he represent the glory of our Holy Twenty-Eight Families?” Lucius said proudly.
“My dear, I understand your concern for family honor. But he is still young. When he goes to school, I believe he will become the best student in Slytherin! He will become the pride of the Malfoy family!” said the blonde beauty, Lucius’s wife, Narcissa Malfoy.
“He will certainly become Slytherin’s best student! However, it won’t be an easy task. Alright, Narcissa, let’s not talk about this anymore! I’m tired today and want some peace and quiet!” After saying this, Lucius walked towards his study.
He left excitedly today, but came back empty-handed, and is in a terrible mood right now.
Lucius also wanted to get closer to his son, but only he understood what the family's glory meant. It was unimaginable power, and also a burden that could crush a person's shoulders.
Therefore, he never stopped pushing Draco.
At this moment, Lucius sat in a chair in his study, closing his eyes to rest and calm his somewhat chaotic and troubled mind.
Thinking about everything that happened today, he felt like he had overlooked something.
"What could it be? That old man Dumbledore must have some secret..." Lucius murmured.
He casually glanced at the surroundings, and then his gaze inadvertently fell upon a flying broom in the study.
Suddenly, as if a bolt of lightning had struck his mind, Lucius finally found the thing he had overlooked.
That's right, it's that little boy who rode a flying broomstick and beat up Slytherin students!
That first-year Gryffindor student, with such amazing flying talent at such a young age, must be an outstanding student and must be loved or noticed by the teachers.
However, during the investigation of the eight-eyed spider's lair in the Forbidden Forest, neither Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, nor Snape, who later entered, showed any particular indifference towards the little boy. (Of course, Snape was like that with everyone, Lucius added silently.)
Actually, thinking back on his attitude towards Draco, it was related to this Gryffindor student. He was subconsciously afraid that Draco would also be beaten up by such a student, which is why he told his son to study harder and go back to school.
Even Lucius himself was impressed by the child's remarkable performance, so why were Dumbledore and the others so indifferent? Their indifferent attitude also made him not pay much attention to the child at the time.
“They barely even mentioned the child’s name!” Lucius flipped through his memories and discovered this.
That's incredibly suspicious!
"Dobby, do you remember the name of that little boy with the Asian face?" Lucius asked the house-elf who had been following him, hoping to get an answer from him.
Upon hearing this, Dobby's face instantly contorted in pain, and he stammered, "Dobby, Dobby, Dobby..."
Lucius frowned upon hearing this, picked up a thick book from the table, and slammed it down on Dobby's head, saying irritably, "Shut up, what use are you!"
Dobby, after being hit, actually smiled happily and quickly shut his mouth, no longer saying a word.
"Never mind, we'll arrange for someone to investigate when we have the chance. There shouldn't be many students with Asian faces at Hogwarts, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find out," Lucius said with a sigh.
Although Dobi didn't betray Qin Yu's name, he began to feel worried when he heard his master say those words.
He instinctively felt that his master was not very friendly to Qin.
……
……
It was once again that misty darkness, beyond human perception and comprehension.
Five flames of different colors lit up again.
However, this time the five flames were not as bright as before; instead, they seemed weak.
The white flame spoke first: "Comrades, our time is running out. Have you decided on your representatives?"
"It's decided, Alpha!" the other four flames replied.
"Then, it will become more troublesome for us to meet in this way from now on. You all need to protect yourselves and the Agents. I hope that you will all be safe until the Agents grow strong enough to destroy the Destroyer!" the white flame said slowly.
"We will, Alpha!"
"Okay, then wish us good luck!"
Wish us luck!
As soon as the sound faded, the five flames went out abruptly.
……
Not long after, in a room in a small town in Egypt, a little boy who had been in a coma for five days suddenly developed a burn-like scald on the back of his right hand. The scald had a regular pattern—a pattern consisting of a circle and a lightning bolt, with the lightning bolt arranged in a Z-shape and passing through the circle.
Soon, the little boy slowly opened his eyes. He slowly got up, turned his neck, and his bright eyes greedily looked at everything around him, while a blissful smile appeared on his face.
Meanwhile, in a dark alley in Kathmandu, Nepal, an old beggar whom his companions thought was dead suddenly opened his eyes, and circular and lightning bolt-shaped scars appeared on the back of his right hand.
The old beggar looked at the world with pity, then stood up and slowly walked out of the dark alley.
He walked out onto the street, into the sunlight, and amidst the bustling crowd, he stopped a young woman and said to her in a compassionate voice, "Child, this world needs you!"
The young woman's eyes were initially somewhat blank, then became firm, and finally she nodded to the old beggar and said, "Yes, this world needs me!"
……
……
On Friday morning, Qin Yu, who was in potions class, suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help but shiver.
His shudder nearly caused him to spill the solution from the crucible. This solution, if it got on his skin, could corrode it, which startled Qin Yu and his teammate Elvis.
"It's only mid-September, and England is already this cold?" Qin Yu muttered.
Then, he rallied his spirits and continued preparing the potion.
