Allen opened the window and allowed Lancelot the owl to fly in and land in front of him. It raised its left leg majestically and elegantly. Allen untied the letter from its leg and wanted to feed it some snacks he had prepared for Anka, but the owl spread its wings proudly and flew out of the window, disappearing into the night.
Allen shook his head and stopped the thought that if Anka was here, the owl would be beaten up. He opened the letter and saw that it was from Arthur Weasley. He saw that Weasley's letter was the same as Lupin's. In the letter, Weasley also said the same thing as Dumbledore.
The only difference was that Arthur's tone in his heart showed that he was very clear-headed. Dumbledore was hoping to use them to persuade Allen. It wasn't that he was much smarter than Lupin, but Arthur had been in the Ministry of Magic for many years and was more familiar with the twists and turns of these conversations. His guess was the same as Allen's.
Closing the letter, Allen felt a warmth in his heart. Whether it was Remus or Arthur, whether or not Dumbledore intended to use them, they were indeed worried about him and had leaked the news to him. But now, Allen was worried that Sirius hadn't made a move yet. It wasn't scary when a boorish man acted rashly, but when a boorish man was thinking about how to act rashly …
Allen, who couldn't ask directly, stopped thinking. He spread open the parchment and wrote a row of words in the ink bottle with his quill. He dipped his quill in the ink bottle and slid it smoothly on the parchment. Before he was halfway through writing the reply, Allen's quill suddenly stopped on the parchment. He put the quill aside and pressed his hand on the Imprint of Omniscience, which was already hot. Then, he heard Lucius? Malfoy's voice, "Master, I have something to report …"
Allen calculated in his mind. This was probably the third time he had received the same message today. He raised his eyebrows impatiently and was about to ask Malfoy to make it short when he changed his mind. Allen transmitted his thoughts through the Imprint. "Go to the Forbidden Forest and find a place to wait for me. I'll tell you in person later."
"I understand, Master." Lucius? Malfoy quickly replied. In fact, he wasn't used to Allen's preference for face-to-face talks.
Alan let go of the mark and continued to pick up the quill. He dipped it in the ink bottle and quickly wrote a warm and well-ironed reply. In the letter, he thanked Arthur Weasley for sending him a letter to inform him of this information when public opinion was very unfavorable to the Harris family. At the same time, he comforted the other party that everything was under his control, including the twins' trick house, and that nothing would happen to them.
With a snap of his fingers, Ahn-Kha appeared on the wizard's shoulder in a flash of fire. Allen fed Ahn-Kha some rabbit meat as a snack and stroked the ahoge on its head. After that, he intimately whispered to Ahn-Kha and tied the letter to its leg.
After another flash of fire, Ahn-Kha disappeared. Allen touched the Imprint on his hand and found out where Lucius was in the Forbidden Forest. He then walked towards the shadows of the room and appeared in the Forbidden Forest in a flash.
In the Forbidden Forest, a stooped figure in a cloak was hiding behind a tree. When he saw Allen emerge from the shadows, he recognized Allen's face with the help of the mottled moonlight that shone through the interweaving gaps between the trees. He hurriedly walked out. His face was painted with a variety of colors, and it was almost impossible to distinguish his original appearance. If a small wizard saw him in the middle of the night, he would definitely be frightened and think that he had seen a humanoid monster. In order not to be recognized, Lucius, who originally had a straight back, deliberately disguised himself as a stooped old man of a foreign race.
Looking at Lucius's disguise, Allen couldn't help but laugh at his cowardice. "Lucius, do you have to be so cautious? Tell me, what information do you have? "
"Master … please forgive me … I'm only doing this for the sake of safety …" Lucius's face reddened, but then he pretended to be serious and said, "Although Dumbledore refused to take any further action, those pure-blood families still banded together and made the families with the status of school board members listen to Dumbledore's orders … They've decided to at least kick you out of school before doing anything else. The specific time will be your next ancient magic class. They've decided to make things difficult for you on that day …"
"Today, you're the third person to tell me this news." Allen looked down at Lucius who was bowing respectfully. Malfoy.
Lucius was stunned for a moment and didn't respond in time. Allen's ability was so great that the school board members had just discussed the time of action and he had already received the news … This meant that he wasn't the only spy in the pure-blood families. Allen was aware of the movements of the pure-blood families and the Dark Lord, but not many people knew about the real situation on Allen's side. He still had a calm expression …
Lucius was silent for a moment and seemed to have made a decision. He raised his head slightly and asked tentatively. "Master, will this cause a war? Do you need any help from the Malfoy family? I'll do everything I can to help master win. "
Lucius was just imagining if he was in Allen's shoes, if the principal and most of the school board members of Hogwarts had the same opinion, there was no legal way to counter them. Then Lucius thought of his former master's style. He suspected that Allen intended to use violence to solve the problem and use force to suppress all opposition.
"You're overthinking it, Lucius. I've told you that I'm not Tom …" Allen didn't know whether to laugh or cry when Lupin and Lucius suspected that he might use force to resist. "You should know that I prefer to use legal means to achieve my goals. This time, it's the same. I don't intend to and don't need to use force to solve the problem …"
"I'm sorry, master … I'm too slow …" Lucius looked at Allen's face and saw that Allen's face was calm under the moonlight. He didn't seem to be worried about the news that he just reported and the news that the Ministry of Magic announced in the afternoon. He seemed to have made up his mind and was confident.
Lucius's mind was filled with thoughts. In the past few years, before the Harris Family took control of the Ministry of Magic, they had never been defeated by the other forces. Their methods seemed to be used to revealing their sharpness at the last moment. They seemed to have made themselves seem inconspicuous before the incident … Lucius's mind was filled with thoughts. Before the incident, the Harris Family had never been defeated by the other forces.
Everyone was confused by the strength that Harris showed after taking control of the Ministry of Magic! — — Thinking of this, Lucius couldn't help but lower his back and his attitude became more respectful. Judging from his master's posture, he knew the movements of his opponents like the back of his hand and had a plan to deal with them. This show of weakness and the statement made by the Ministry of Magic in the afternoon seemed to be part of Harris' plan.
"But since you know all this, it seems that the mission Tom gave you to contact the pureblood families is well done." Allen pointed at the ground and some plant roots emerged from the ground to form two armchairs. He gestured for Lucius to sit down.
After Allen sat down, Lucius sat down obediently. "Master, this is what I wanted to ask you. You know that the pureblood families are cunning and ruthless … They won't easily make a bet. Although they haven't agreed to ally with The Dark Lord, they have decided to use this opportunity to show their goodwill to the Dark Lord. They intend to let me participate in this operation and restore your position as a director after stripping you of your position."
"Oh? So it seems that they don't trust you as much as Tom? "Allen looked at Lucius who was starting to feel awkward.
"Yes … Master, because I helped you get your position as a director, and because of my family's long-standing reputation …" Lucius had to tell the truth under Allen's gaze. "They hope that I can personally participate in the operation against you to prove this point."
"The Malfoy family came from France with King Muggle, William the Conqueror. After that, they landed in England and settled down here. In French, the meaning of your family name is dishonesty, unfaithfulness, or bad faith." Allen recalled the Malfoy family's ancestor, Armand, who he met in ancient times. He then felt that it was a little rude and added, "But Lucius, I believe in you and your family. You have already proven your loyalty to me. You can rest assured and cooperate with Dumbledore and the pureblood. You don't have to worry about me. When this is finally over, I think Harris's reward will satisfy the Malfoy family …"
"Yes! Master! " Lucius, who was trembling because of the first half of the sentence, calmed down after receiving Allen's promise. However, when he remembered that he was only the third person to provide information, Lucius, who wanted to increase his importance, quickly asked, "Master, is there anything else I need to pay attention to and deal with?"
"Hmm? Let me think … How about this, Lucius, after this incident, I think you can gain their trust and I think the pureblood family will be more willing to seek a closer alliance with Tom … to fight against me. So when you contact them, it's best to leave them something more written … Also, remember to use Tom's mark instead of your name … I think the pureblood family and I will be more satisfied with this method. " Allen thought of a mission for Lucius. Looking at Lucius, who nodded repeatedly, he added, "But compared to the mission, you have to pay attention to your own safety. Draco and I have a good relationship. I don't want him to lose his father because of something unimportant. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to him …"
