Chapter 197 Unexpected Joy (Ch 197)

After Kaisen sent the last gift via owl in the owl shed, it was time for the agreed home visit.

Since he had never been to Malfoy Manor before, he couldn’t find the place for Ender Teleport. Fortunately, the envelope Draco gave him before was a portkey, and he could activate it by tearing it up.

With a tearing sound.

“Uh, I’m still not used to this…feeling of a portkey.” Kaisen appeared in front of the gate of Malfoy Manor, rubbing his temple, and in front of him were the Malfoy family of three.

Draco stood behind his parents and stretched out a hand and waved silently towards Kaisen.

“Long time no see, Mr. Malfoy, and nice to meet Mrs. Malfoy.” Kaisen shook hands with both of them before walking towards the manor.

“I heard from Draco that you are very good at architecture?” Lucius asked suddenly as he and Kaisen were walking side by side.

“I’m not very good at this style. I’m better at some modern styles. That’s why I’ve always wanted to renovate Hogwarts but never started. I was thinking that when I have time, I’ll go back to Manchester to further my studies. Maybe I can make some contribution to mankind and get a doctorate or something like that.”

“Manchester… a Muggle university?”

Lucius questioned.

“Oh, I have to say that I am a frank person, so we can talk about it in advance, but if you don’t have anything to say, I would like to say…you finally started to talk about this topic, and I also happened to have a full speech in my mind, so if you want, we can shake hands here and go home.” Kaisen said frankly.

“Since I invited you, I just want to hear the opinions of the few knowledgeable people in the magical world. Please feel free to do so.” Lucius said.

Kaisen nodded. “Thank you. Last semester, in 1992, the Basilisk crisis broke out at Hogwarts. We didn’t know that the notebook was leaked from that manor… Well, we all know that it was from Malfoy Manor, but we don’t care, and please don’t take it to heart.”

“At that time, in order to find out how the basilisk came into being, I read a lot of history about the establishment of Hogwarts. Correspondingly, I also read about the history of the Malfoy family when they first came to England.”

Kaisen took out a small silver hip flask from his pocket and took a sip to moisten his throat. “I have no intention of digging into whether the Malfoy family is the so-called pure blood. After all, the ancestors of the Malfoy family were wizards when they came to England.”

“And this manor belongs to the Malfoy’s ancestor, Mr. Armand Malfoy, who worked for the king at the time. The king rewarded this large piece of land to the Malfoy family. Forgive my wording, but we must respect history.”

“Malfoy Manor has stood on this land for more than ten centuries, right?” Kaisen looked at Lucius.

Lucius nodded: “That’s right.”

“Then there is Lucius I. Did he pursue Elizabeth in the past?”

“Although this is true, I still don’t understand why you say this?” Lucius asked rarely.

“Because I’m curious. Before the Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, the Malfoy family should have been considered the most pro-Muggle wizard family. Why did it change at the speed of light and quickly develop a pure-blood cult after the implementation of the Statute of Secrecy?” Kaisen asked a naive question.

“Because we are wizards, and wizards are our compatriots. If we don’t stand with our compatriots, do we choose to stand on the opposite side of our compatriots and stand with Muggles? Those who stand with Muggles can only be Muggles, unless you become a Squib.” Lucius explained.

“That makes sense,” Kaysen agreed.

“And in fact, we can’t say that we are pro-Muggle, but pro-interest. Muggles can bring benefits to the Malfoy family. Shouldn’t the Malfoy family, who has occupied so much power and wealth, feel honored and proud?” Lucius continued.

“Glory does not belong to you. Glory belongs to the majority of people whose wealth you have plundered.” Kaisen couldn’t help but retort.

Several people walked to the castle gate, which opened automatically. Several people walked into the reception room. Lucius arranged the seats and finally sat down: “To be honest, your words are too sharp. Let’s change the subject.”

“Is this the real reason you called me here?” Kaisen asked.

“Yes, look at this.” Lucius Malfoy took out a torn envelope from his pocket and placed it on the table.

Kaisen picked it up and pulled out the letter. His brows first frowned, then relaxed.

This is a letter from Karkaroff. In the letter, Karkaroff asked Lucius about his recent life, the current situation in England, and the situation at Hogwarts. At the end, he stated the purpose of writing this letter.

Peter Pettigrew has reappeared and is trapped in Hogwarts. He is going to [rescue] and recruit teammates.

“Yeah, I know about this.” Kaisen nodded and said.

“I have a bad feeling. Over the past decade, nothing has been like this year… The former Death Eaters have become active again. First it was Sirius, then Peter Pettigrew and Karkaroff… There are many other Death Eaters who used to be rats living in the gutter, but this year they seem to have received some kind of signal and have become active again, and are in contact with each other.”

Lucius saw Kaisen’s strange look after he finished speaking, and he did not shy away from it: “I know I am also a Death Eater, but that does not stop me from feeling that things are not peaceful recently. After all, compared to… the You-Know-Who… I don’t have those grand ambitions now. He… you haven’t seen him in his last moments, when he had already lost his mind.”

“Are you tired of being a Death Eater?” Kaysen asked.

Lucius nodded. “Since the first time You-Know-Who lost his mind.”

“Thank you for your trust. So the reason you came to me is… Don’t you know what Dumbledore is thinking now? You are afraid that Voldemort will come back. After all, I have seen him twice in the past two years…”

After Kaisen said that, Lucius and Draco didn’t react much, but Narcissa’s eyelids twitched violently twice.

“That’s what I meant.” Lucius nodded.

“Dumbledore doesn’t hate the Malfoy family. He’s not even annoyed with you, so you can go to him in person without any worries. I remember Mr. Lucius, you were still a school director.”

Lucius breathed a sigh of relief after Kaisen finished speaking. It seemed that Lucius was not as calm as before, but his expression had become extremely stiff and he could not move at all.

And now, Lucius finally got an answer that made him feel comfortable, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Yeah…Although Dumbledore has many little flaws, he can indeed be called philanthropic.” Kaisen also complained.

“Um…”

“Now, let’s deal with the problem of this letter.” Unlike Lucius who had relaxed, Kaisen picked up an unexpected surprise of this trip to Malfoy Manor, a letter from Karkaroff.
