Allen left the room as if he was escaping. When he was about to reach the hall, he returned to his polite appearance, as if nothing had happened.
"Mr. Malfoy, welcome." Allen walked forward and greeted politely.
Malfoy maintained his elegant demeanor and nodded to Allen.
Allen smiled and led Malfoy into Mr. Harris' study.
When Malfoy entered the room, Mr. Harris didn't get up to greet him as usual.
Hermione's Crookshan was nestled nestled nestled neatly in his arms, in a brown leather armchair with wide arms of maroon. His hand gently stroked Crookshan's smooth fur, and Crookshan hummed comfortably.
"Sorry, Lucius, you see, this cat is making me unable to get up." Mr. Harris apologized, but he didn't even raise his head to look at him.
"It's okay, Mr. Harris." Malfoy bowed deeply to Mr. Harris who was sitting and then stood up.
"Mr. Harris, did Allen tell you my purpose for coming?" Lucius? Malfoy glanced at Allen.
But Allen just smiled and didn't say anything.
"Then, Lucius, what is your purpose for coming?" Mr. Harris still lowered his head and stroked Crookshan.
"Last night's incident, although I was involved, but after Allen talked to me, I have been following his instructions." Lucius stared at Mr. Harris.
But Mr. Harris lowered his head, and it was impossible to see his expression.
The room was quiet, and Lucius moved a few steps uneasily.
Mr. Harris finally raised his head. He put his hand under his nose and then put it down, indicating Lucius to sit on the chair in front of him.
Lucius quickly walked in front of him, but he did not sit down.
"Mr. Harris, because of my ignorance and stupidity, I let the mysterious man lose one of his soul tools last year, which made me unable to eat or sleep well. I'm very worried about the safety of my family."
Lucius placed his hands on the table and looked at Mr. Harris anxiously. His tone became urgent. "You know, with his means, once he finds out about my mistake, I'm afraid the Malfoy family will be destroyed."
"It's fine if it's me, but Narcissa and Draco are innocent. They shouldn't have suffered such a tragic fate because of me … "Malfoy's voice was choked with sobs as his body trembled uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry." Malfoy lowered his head.
Harris gestured to Malfoy with his hand. Allen poured a glass of Ogden's aged whiskey and passed it to him.
Malfoy's eyebrows moved slightly. He took the whiskey with both hands, drank half of it, and put down the glass.
"Mr. Harris, for the sake of both of us being pure-blooded, please help me and save the Malfoy family."
The whiskey seemed to have given him courage. He begged while gesturing with his hands. "What do you want me to do? Just tell me what to do, but I beg you to help me. "
"How can I help you?" Mr. Harris asked calmly.
Malfoy placed his hands on the long table and leaned forward. "Harris, please use your influence in the Ministry of Magic to protect the Malfoy family when I need it. Even if it's just Narcissa and Draco. Please use Family Harris's connections in Germany to hide and protect them when we need it. I can do anything for you, anything! You can use the Malfoy family's property as you wish. "
Mr. Harris looked at the agitated Malfoy and gestured for him to calm down and sit down.
Malfoy took a deep breath and sat back in the chair.
"Let me think, Lucius. You used to be a director of Hogwarts, so you should have a lot of connections with the other directors. "
Mr. Harris knew, of course, how Lucius had gained the position of school trustee, and how he had lost it.
"Of course, Mr. Harris. Although I'm no longer a director of Hogwarts, I still have connections with the other directors." Malfoy looked at Allen suspiciously and guessed his intentions.
"I don't need the Malfoy family's wealth." Mr. Harris finally put down Crookshan and stood up from the chair.
Malfoy's eyes followed Mr. Harris's every move.
"What I need is your connections." Mr. Harris walked in front of Malfoy and looked him in the eyes.
"I need you to be the middleman and introduce me to the other pureblood families and help me get their support." Harris's tone was firm and there was no room for negotiation.
Lucius couldn't help but hesitate. Initially, he had only wanted to offer some money, property, and the like.
But to help Harris get the support of the pureblood families, he needed to give more than money and property.
"Is there a problem?" Mr. Harris narrowed his eyes and smiled. He turned around and went back to his seat. Crookshan cried softly and jumped onto his knees again.
Lucius immediately stopped hesitating and shook his head.
"Very good. Then, to show your sincerity, help Allen get the shares of the Hogwarts from them and let Allen become one of the directors of the Hogwarts School," Mr. Harris said in a deep voice.
Malfoy was silent. Those who could become one of the directors of the Hogwarts School were all pureblood families. Every family's wealth and power were not to be underestimated.
As a director of the school, every pureblood family hoped that their children would be treated better in the Hogwarts.
They did not lack money. If Malfoy wanted to get the shares of the Hogwarts, he would need to pay a higher price, not just money.
"Obviously, Lucius, you still don't trust me. Perhaps, the bond between us can be even deeper. I heard Allen mention it before. Draco? Malfoy is a very smart child. If I accept him as my godson … "
"Then sir, your wish will be granted. Malfoy is happy to serve you." Malfoy looked deeply at Mr. Harris, bowed, and turned to leave.
Harris glanced at Allen. Allen immediately understood and quickly walked out of the tent with Malfoy.
A low rumbling sound attracted their attention. Penello was wearing Aura's uniform. She rode the motorcycle that Allen gave her and descended from the sky.
She touched the ground with one foot and took off her helmet with both hands. She flicked her short black hair and smiled when she saw Allen.
The sun shone behind her and her smile was dazzling.
Lucius glanced at Penello and nodded to Allen before returning to Malfoy's tent.
"Penello, why are you here?" Allen asked in surprise.
