Chapter 563

"Yes! Yes, yes - Miss Lily Evans, um... That's what your mother looked like when she was young..."

"No, it's Lily Potter."

Harry seemed to disagree with Slughorn's title to his mother.

"Oh, then it was Lily Porter," the fat old man didn't worry about his last name. He soon brought the little contradiction. "Do you want to hear me talk about your mother's past when she was a student?"

To be honest, Harry really wanted to hear it, but he knew it must not be now. And instead of hearing from Slughorn, he thought he might as well ask Sirius and lupin another day!

"Well, I think we can pick another time -" Harry shook his head quickly. "You know, breakfast is probably ready in the auditorium."

"Ha! I'm hungry when you say that!" Slughorn raised his eyebrows and said with a smile. "In that case, dear Mr. Potter, why don't you just tell me what you're doing today? Or... Maybe we can talk on the way to the auditorium?"

Harry came here early in the morning, obviously with a purpose. Otherwise, judging from the attitude he showed a few times ago, it's impossible for him to come here on his own initiative.

Harry looked a little cramped under Slughorn's gaze. If you want to apply for reducing the amount of homework, you spin around your throat, but you just can't say it.

It was a long time before he finally spoke.

"Professor Slughorn, here's the thing --"

……

Speaking of it, during this time, both Harry and Marca had a very easy time, so that they all had time to do some mundane things.

But some people are relaxed and others are urgent. Compared with them, master Draco seems to have not escaped from last year's cold winter every day.

Draco's mother is missing and has not been heard from. No one knows where she has gone. Even though Lucius had already launched all the contacts he could use, he still couldn't find his wife.

Because he didn't want to study at school, Draco finally persuaded his father to suspend school temporarily.

After Voldemort's resurgence, the Malfoy family not only lost their vitality, but also lost more than half of the various family relationships in the past. At least half of the friendly families fell with Voldemort's failure again. You know, most of the death eaters were from the pure blood wizard family.

Now Lucius was stunned to find that he even lacked the manpower to find his wife.

In order to find clues as soon as possible, Draco took the initiative to go home and participate in the emergency search and rescue queue. Lucius could not help feeling secretly that his son had really grown up... But in the most sad way.

Early this morning, Lucius, who had been dispatching from the site, had always been in the manor estate, but he was actually the most tired one. Although he has been sitting in the chair, both his body and mind have been exhausted to the limit.

When was the last time you slept? The day before yesterday? Or earlier?

Lucius looked through the Jane letters from several search teams and the suspicious information from all aspects. Among the seemingly many notes and notes, not even one is actually useful. But he can't give up. He must constantly search, compare and analyze, and then arrange the search and rescue team to explore and inquire.

He felt his head swell with throbbing pain, as if it would explode at any time.

"Where's Draco?"

He suddenly looked up at the window as if he had just remembered it. It's already daybreak, but the son who set out with the team last night hasn't returned yet.

This can't work. I can't rest, but the baby son can't sleep! Although he reluctantly agreed to let Draco come home to join the search and rescue, it didn't mean he didn't care. After all, children are the future of their Malfoy family.

Suddenly, a fluttering sound of wings came from the front living room. Soon, an owl grabbed an envelope and walked through the living room and corridor to find him accurately.

Is that another piece of news? Maybe it's from my son? Is the news we got last night the right clue?

Lucius quickly reached for the letter, but his head was dizzy and almost fell on the messy table.

Fortunately, maybe his body is just reminding him that he needs to rest, at least not to the limit.

With one hand, he took the envelope handed by the owl with his claw, and with the other hand, he habitually went to the drawer under him to take out the magic medicine bottle.

"Oh, no..."

There seems to be only empty bottles left in the drawer.

Lucius put the bottle aside, no longer thinking about anything, but planned to tear open the envelope without saying a word. However, when he was ready to tear it, a mark on the envelope immediately came into his sight.

"Hogwarts?" he paused and rubbed his temples hard to relieve the pain, so that his mind could focus more. "Is it about Draco?"

With a little concentration, he opened the envelope and took out a folded letter paper from it. But when he opened it, he suddenly found that he had guessed wrong.

This letter is not about my son, not even from Hogwarts. He was sure that most of the letter came from the mysterious wizard organization founded by Dumbledore.

In the letter, however, he was given a simple message:

"Narcissa appeared in Berlin, Germany."

To say what the order of the Phoenix is best at, some people may say that it is the ability to deal with black wizards. Although it is true, they are better at finding things and people. In the order of the Phoenix, there are all kinds of members, all of whom have different origins and play different roles in the magic world.

Such components make the hierarchy of the order of the Phoenix closely distributed to every corner of the magic world. Major events are supported by Maka and Kingsley, and minor events are supported by Mundungus, so there is almost no way to miss.

For example, the trace of Lucius's wife Narcissa Malfoy was inadvertently heard from a German when some friends of Mundungus talked about a business about the recycling of old flying brooms.

Of course, montungus didn't care at first, but when he was chatting, he broke his mouth and told Sirius the news.

Many people know about the Malfoy family, and it is impossible for them to search quietly. The disappearance of Narcissa has long been heard among families.

But when Sirius heard the news from Mundungus, his face looked stiff.

In the final analysis, Narcissa Malfoy was also a member of the Black family before his marriage, and was his cousin like Bellatrix in terms of seniority. On weekdays, he hates these two cousins as much as he wants. One of them is a crazy woman and the other is arrogant. In short, they are not normal people.

But if Narcissa suddenly disappeared, this way away from his sight was not acceptable to him.

Moreover, Narcissa is always better than Bellatrix's cousin. At least she seems to be a "person" with some feelings on the whole.

But even so, Sirius still didn't speak. It was lupin who quietly stood by that finally decided to deliver the message to Lucius.

He and Sirius have been friends since childhood. He can see more clearly than anyone else how awkward each other's heart is. Since Sirius is hard to speak, Lupin will be the "good man" for him.

At this moment, Lucius took this letter paper, but he couldn't help feeling extremely heavy.

He had a very direct friction with Dumbledore's organization. When Voldemort first came into power, he secretly participated in the struggle. This time, he was even forced to stand on the opposite side of the confrontation with the organization.

But now, in the case of Voldemort's great defeat, he Lucius Malfoy was not only fished out by Marca from Azkaban, but also got the latest clue from his wife Narcissa. It is naturally impossible to say that his heart is not ashamed.

Although under many circumstances, he Lucius was forced by the situation to make his choice, it is an indisputable fact that the cause of these things is that he has been trying to profit from them.

"Hogwarts..."

He silently recited the word, but he tasted the feelings he didn't have in the past. At the beginning, I was also a student of this school, but what force made me the opposite of those guys?

"When Narcissa is found, should Draco find a way to get along with those Gryffindors?"

Lucius was stunned by his idea, but he got up in a hurry holding the letter paper and paced back and forth in the room.

He had to find his wife before thinking about those things. Otherwise, even if he let his son go back to Hogwarts again, how could the child have the heart to continue his studies?

"Berlin, Germany..." Lucius searched his memory desperately while wandering. "There should be several families over there who have made friends with my Malfoy family. It's time to ask them for help... No, I think I should go to Germany myself..."

Thinking of this, he immediately used a phantom shift and turned to the owl cabin in the manor.
