England, Wiltshire, Malfoy Manor.
Malfoy's manor is naturally dignified and gorgeous as one of the wealthiest pure-blood nobles.
In the lavish Living Room, Lucius Malfoy and his wife, Narcissa Malfoy, are enjoying a rare reunion with their son Draco Malfoy.
Except for the summer vacation at Hogwarts, there is only one long holiday, Christmas. Therefore, all students spend less time with their families during these years.
"Son, this is your favorite Sticky Toffee Pudding and Foie Gras. You eat more."
Narcissa looked at her son with a distressed face, still complaining about Dumbledore, "That crazy old man didn't let the house-elf go to school. I can't imagine that you have been eating at school more than once. What day will it be!"
Draco opened his mouth, he wanted to say that the food in the school was not too bad, but seeing his mother like this, he wisely shut his mouth.
Lucius, who was next to him, nodded in agreement, "Dumbledore is indeed old, and he is a little too good for those Mudbloods. Doesn't he know that only pure blood is the foundation of the wizarding world?"
"Father!"
Draco frowned and interrupted Lucius.
Since studying with Alvin, Draco has no prejudice against Muggle-born wizards and other half-blood wizards.
He knows that any identity is a joke in front of absolute strength.
Even his father, Lucius, only dared to speak ill of Headmaster Dumbledore behind his back.
Lucius looked at Draco in surprise. He suddenly found that his son was a little strange. In the past, when he made these remarks, Draco would agree with him very much. Still, his behavior today is very different from before.
But he didn't say anything and continued to enjoy the Christmas dinner with his family. After dinner, he called Malfoy.
"Tell me what happened to you at school that greatly changed you."
The father and son sat opposite each other, and Lucius asked Draco with some concern.
Draco shook his head gently. He said. "No, Father, it's just that someone made me understand that the glory of pure blood is not to be highlighted by a few words of Mudblood but to be earned by yourself."
When Lucius heard this, his face changed, and he growled. "Do you know what you are talking about? Draco, are you denying me?"
Draco was not afraid because of his father's anger but told his theory slowly.
"Father, times have changed, and now more and more half-blood wizards are appearing, and they are also a part of the forces that cannot be ignored in the magic world."
"Secondly, after so many years, the blood inheritance of pure-blood wizards has become thinner and thinner, and we don't even know if we are real pure-blood wizards."
"For wizards, strength is the most important foundation. Like Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor Snape, and even the Dark Lord, they are all half-blood, but who dares to underestimate them."
Lucius stared at Draco in a daze, he couldn't believe that these words came from his son's mouth, and for a moment, he felt that Draco seemed to have grown a lot.
With a long sigh, Lucius Malfoy leaned weakly on the sofa.
He understood that what Draco said was right. He had already seen through the issue of half-blood and pure blood.
Looking at Draco with some relief, although Draco's remarks still seem a little naive, he has already understood the essential thing, strength.
Lucius said to his son earnestly,
"Draco, I understand what you're saying. But I can't change all of this. To maintain the honor of our family and keep the interests of other pure-blood families in line, there are some things I have to do."
Hearing his father's words, Draco was also silent. Alvin had told him before why did the pure-blood family reject half-blood wizards and Muggle wizards so much?
It is essentially a conflict of interest. The presence of a large number of half-blood wizards and Muggle wizards in the magical world will squeeze the living space of pure-blood families so that many pure-blood families have to unite and follow Voldemort. The purpose is to eliminate some of those wizards.
Do you think Voldemort's words bewitched everyone? Maybe, but not much.
Thinking of this, Malfoy also remembered the conditions he promised Alvin.
"Father, I promised one of my classmates to come and browse our library."
"Tell me what's going on."
Lucius wasn't angry because Draco made such a promise but calmly asked why.
Afterward, Draco told Lucius everything that had happened between him and Alvin, excluding his conflict with Hermione.
The current Malfoy is very afraid of Hermione. Hermione is strong, good at learning, and the most crucial thing is Alvin's girlfriend. He can't afford to provoke him.
After listening to Draco's narration, Lucius asked in surprise. "Is that Gaunt as strong as you said?"
Draco nodded vigorously, "This is just the strength he showed. Maybe he has hidden more cards."
Although he couldn't reveal many secrets to Lucius due to the contract, just what he could say was enough to shock Lucius.
Lucius praised and said to Malfoy. "You have done a good job, Alvin Gaunt is the next Dumbledore or You-Know-Who, and it is a wise choice to have a good relationship with him. You will invite him tomorrow. Come to our Manor."
Draco said embarrassedly to his father. "Father, Gaunt is also a half-blood, can you..."
Lucius understood what his son meant and patted his head angrily. "I'm not a fool. Since such a genius doesn't feel bad for us, I won't be foolish enough to take the initiative to provoke him."
Hearing his father's reply, Draco breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that his father would be stunned and say something terrible.
Lucius, on the other hand, looked at his son with gratification. Draco, who could analyze the pros and cons and was ambitious, was the best heir to the Malfoy family.
