Chapter 148 Malfoys 2
Chapter 148 Malfoys 2
Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy suddenly stood up alertly. Lucius Malfoy took a slight step and stood in front of Narcissa Malfoy. They felt that the manor's defensive magic had been triggered.
Who was it? Was it Voldemort? Had he been resurrected? Did they know what he had done recently? Lucius Malfoy kept brainstorming.
After all, no matter from which angle he looked at it, his recent act of offering a large bounty on Death Eaters was a clear break with Voldemort. However, all his doubts vanished instantly when he saw a few people suddenly appear.
"Draco...Draco!" Lucius Malfoy pounced on Draco Malfoy in a panic, his body staggering slightly, but he quickly regained his balance.
He stood before Draco Malfoy, his hand outstretched, but he dared not touch, fearing it was all a dream or an illusion.
"Dad!" Draco Malfoy felt a pang of sadness as he looked at the man in front of him who had suddenly aged a lot and looked tired.
He had never seen his father so helpless, as if he had lost all his strength. In his mind, his father had always been the omnipotent man, but now he seemed so fragile.
He could no longer suppress his inner emotions, tears welled up in his eyes, and he threw himself into Lucius Malfoy's arms, choking and saying, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have run around. I made you worry about me..."
Not until he actually held his son in his arms and felt his body temperature did Lucius Malfoy dare to believe that all this was not a dream.
His hand trembled slightly as he gently stroked Draco Malfoy's head, his eyes filled with endless love and self-blame. He murmured to himself, "No, no, it's all Daddy's fault. I shouldn't have said that to you. Draco has always made me proud. I've always been proud to be your father."
Draco Malfoy listened quietly to his father's words, tears streaming down his face. His father's love for him was deep and sincere, though sometimes the way he expressed it wasn't quite right. He hugged his father tightly and whispered, "Dad, I love you."
How could he not love Draco? That was the child he had been longing for! From the moment he learned that his wife was pregnant, Lucius Malfoy began to look forward to the arrival of this little life.
He had witnessed Draco's growth, watching him learn to walk, talk, read and write, and every progress made him feel extremely gratified. He had imagined countless times what Draco would look like when he grew up, hoping that he would inherit the family's glory and become an excellent wizard.
The month he was missing was a nightmare for Lucius Malfoy.
Every day and every night, he spent his time in endless self-blame and pain. He recalled the scene of that day countless times, his heart filled with regret and self-blame.
He knew that it was all his fault, because he hadn't explained it properly to Draco.
He had always thought that as long as he protected Draco under his wings, he could keep him away from danger, but he forgot that the young eagle would one day learn to fly and explore the vast sky.
Narcissa Malfoy held her wand tightly in her hand, her eyes revealing alertness.
She looked at the crowd around her and couldn't help feeling uneasy. Although these people didn't show any obvious hostility, she still didn't dare to take it lightly.
She carefully observed the group of people in front of her, trying to find some clues from their expressions, movements and tones.
She discovered that one of them looked very similar to her. Polyjuice Potion? No, her keen intuition told her that the aura she exuded was exactly the same as hers, that was the unique temperament of Narcissa Malfoy.
Her gaze paused on Draco, who smiled at her.
Narcissa Malfoy looked away. Draco... He was also Draco!
"Narcissa." Severus Snape stood up. He looked at Narcissa Malfoy with deep eyes and said calmly, "We need to sit down and have a good talk."
Lucius Malfoy quickly adjusted his mood while Severus Snape was speaking. He gently patted Draco Malfoy, who was burying himself in his arms and hugging him tightly, silently comforting him.
The excitement just now made them a little out of control, and now they need to regain the pride and reserve that the Malfoy family should have.
"Everyone, please take a seat." Lucius Malfoy said elegantly, his voice carrying a hint of indifference and majesty.
Everyone took their seats and the atmosphere became somewhat solemn.
Lucius Malfoy quickly glanced at the people present, with countless questions in his mind. However, he resisted the urge and did not ask the questions.
After taking his seat, he subconsciously looked at his friend, hoping to get some explanation or clues from him. After all, they were here together, so they must know something about this matter.
However, to his surprise, it was Draco Malfoy who spoke first.
"Dad, Mom, it's like this. That day..." Draco Malfoy told his parents about his experience carefully. Although his eyes were still red, Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy looked at him with love and pride in their eyes.
Their Draco has grown up.
Draco Malfoy hesitated after he finished speaking. He looked at the other Draco and Narcissa, and made up his mind.
"Dad, Mom, I...let's not support Voldemort anymore, okay?" He mustered up the courage and said carefully.
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and waited anxiously.
Narcissa Malfoy and Lucius Malfoy exchanged a strange look. Severus Snape, who had already heard about what the Malfoys had done, also had a strange look on his face.
Ah, I forgot something. I haven't told Draco Malfoy about his family matters yet. Severus Snape suddenly realized. Well, it's okay, I'll find out eventually.
"Draco, can you tell me why?" Narcissa Malfoy asked. She believed what Draco Malfoy had just said about the other world. But she still wanted to hear her son's thoughts and wanted to know why Draco had such thoughts.
Although Lucius Malfoy was a little hesitant, he was already hunting down the Death Eaters, and Voldemort knew that there would be punishment. In that case, why not go big?
Draco Malfoy looked up, a little surprised. His parents' attitude was beyond his expectations. Although he didn't know why, he felt that the possibility of convincing his parents had increased.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was right. He couldn't help but hold his head high and talk to his parents about what he had observed and discovered during this period, as well as the information Draco had revealed to him intentionally or unintentionally before.
He said everything he wanted to say in one breath, looking at his parents with bright eyes, waiting for their praise.
"The little dragon is awesome." Narcissa Malfoy couldn't resist Draco Malfoy like this.
Lucius Malfoy's heart was filled with pride. He smiled and nodded at Draco Malfoy, while his mind was rapidly considering the pros and cons.

Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy's pupils constricted. What sound! Severus Snape soothed the couple with his eyes.
This voice had appeared before, a prophecy of sorts, and Narcissa and Dumbledore had explained it to Severus Snape and Albus Dumbledore in the Headmaster's office.
Thinking of Dumbledore, Severus Snape's face turned strange for a moment. I didn't expect that the old bee was like this when he was young.
Draco Malfoy also secretly pulled the hands of Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy, indicating that they should not act rashly. He probably understood that this was one of Draco's abilities.
He and Hermione Granger discussed it secretly, and when they realized they couldn't tell Pansy Parkinson and the others, they made some guesses.
Harry squeezed Draco's hand and looked at Draco with a smile in his eyes.
It was at this time that Draco always liked to scare others.
"Did Xiaolong do that on purpose?" He scratched Draco's palm.
Draco stuck out his tongue. His eyes threatened Harry. "Don't tease me. I'm just a heartless broadcasting machine."
Harry looked away, and met Narcissa's meaningful gaze. Harry couldn't help but freeze, and smiled at Narcissa with a guilty and flattering smile.
Narcissa shook her head. She was still a child.
