HP's return to innocence

Chapter 11 The treacherous and cunning Father L

For most people, even most scholars who study economics for a living, economics is just a theory.But for Lucius Malfoy, a man who is conservatively estimated to control a quarter of Britain's economic lifeline, economics is the key to his other door—from this point of view, the Alston family Still, if it weren't for the Malfoy family, they could only be regarded as the top among the big families in the United States, but they were definitely not the top ones.But the Malfoy family stood at the apex of the British economy, bar none.

"Garon can control the world" - this is what Drake said not long ago. At that time, Lucius' understanding of this sentence was "Garon can buy the whole world", so although he didn't say much at the time, the actual On the road, Lucius still felt that his son was still a little naive.

And when he spent one night reading half of one of the books—just reading it but not fully understanding it, Lucius suddenly realized that the naive seemed to be him.

Garen is not just for buying things, and the adjustment of prices is not just for making more profits. He can make countless people cry, and he can also make countless people laugh.What is Fudge?With just a little trick, he could collapse the economy of the British wizarding community. At that time, countless angry wizarding people would even learn from the Muggles in the Middle Ages and tie Fudge to the stake and burn him to death.

As for Dumbledore, he is the greatest and charismatic White Wizard, there is no doubt about it, but can his greatness and charisma affect every wizard's dinner table and pocketbook?

Lucius suddenly felt that he was stupid before... He did so many things, spent so many Galleons, and all he got was an ugly reputation and an even uglier Death Eater mark.

"Merlin! Lucius!" At the breakfast table, Narcissa screamed because she saw a man wearing a wrinkled wizard robe, messy hair, dark skin and dark circles around his eyes, "That man is back? Is the Malfoy family going bankrupt? Someone is bringing up the Death Eaters again? Or..." Narcissa pulled out her wand suddenly, "What did you give me for my wedding anniversary last year?"

"Sissy, this is indeed me." Lucius rubbed his forehead and sat on the main seat. He was a little dizzy after not sleeping all night and overusing his brain. After finding that Sissy hadn't put down his wand, he I could only say helplessly, "Well, on last year's anniversary, what I gave you were the tears of the moon god."

"Lucius, what happened?" Narcissa finally put down her wand, but obviously, she was still worried.

"It's a good thing for the Malfoy family." Lucius smiled, and Narcissa found that, unlike her husband's scruffy appearance, his gray eyes were full of undisguised Joy and excitement.

At this time, Drake also went downstairs: "Morning, father." He greeted his father as usual, without any doubts about Lucius' embarrassment. In fact, he looked a little happy? ——The sooner father gets in touch with economics, the greater the chances of the Malfoy family winning.

"Okay, okay, it seems that this is a man's business." Narcissa raised her eyebrows, and Drake's reaction indicated that this matter was within her son's expectation, and she finally let go of all her worries, "However, for To celebrate the good things that happened at home, I'm going to Fengya Clothing Store today to buy two new dresses!"

Narcissa is a smart Mrs. Slytherin, and her family members are all Slytherins—even if one of them is only a reserve member, she knows very well that even among family members, some things should not be overly curious, Privacy is a must, and sharing has limits.

So she wasn't really angry, it just gave her a good excuse to hang out - and she would have hung out if she hadn't.

Without breakfast, Narcissa left the manor wearing a pale pink robe and carrying her small bag.

At the dinner table, after Lucius had finished his own breakfast, he began to ask Drake: "Is there anything you want to tell me, Drake?"

"..." Draco knew that he was really impatient, especially those books on economics, which definitely couldn't be thoroughly understood in a short time, not to mention that he was just such a young master not long ago.

"You framed your old father, Mr. Draco Malfoy." Lucius wiped his mouth with a napkin, raised his eyebrows and looked at his restless son, "So, do you need to explain to me?"

Draco opened his mouth, obviously all his little actions are now exposed - this is indeed his most powerful father, Draco praised in a low voice in his heart, but only for a moment, because he knew that now is not the time to praise .And although he was able to fabricate countless lies and stories, facing his father...

Drake took a deep breath, and replied in a calm tone that surprised Lucius: "It's all for Malfoy."

So it turned into Lucius in surprise, he looked at his son, the expression in his silver-gray eyes was unpredictable, while Draco sat there upright, looking at his father calmly.Finally, Lucius smiled. "You've grown up, Draco."

"Thank you, Father."

"Well, there are some things in those books that I don't understand, and I think I can get the answer from you."

"I also have a lot of things I don't understand. We can learn together. But I think you'd better take a shower today and rest."

Lucius froze for a moment, and showed a bright smile that made Draco dizzy, and the reason was only from his son's little concern: "Of course, I will follow my lovely son's advice and go to sleep. "

Lucius stood up from the table, and when passing by Draco, he put his hands on his shoulders: "I respect your choice, and I will not explore why you are hiding and what you are hiding. So I hope you don't take too much burden and think you have to grit your teeth and endure something, understand, my son?"

"Yes, Father." Draco blinked, but tears were already rolling down his eyes.

"But remember, if one day, you think it's better to speak out, then you can also find me, or your mother speak out without any scruples, after all, we are family, and we will never hurt you." Kissed Touching Drake's hair point, Lucius finally squeezed Drake's shoulders before he really walked upstairs.

And Draco couldn't stop crying. He almost told everything, but thinking that his father might be hurt, he finally held back the truth...

And it was also from this weather that Lucius' attitude towards Draco changed fundamentally, and he began to treat him as an adult.The two of them worked on the economic issues, the Muggle issues, and even Lucius offered to hand over a few storefronts to Draco, or give him a free fund.

Drake turned down the shop, and as for funds, he said that his pocket money was enough, or, in fact, he had already started his own business.The son's concealment made Lucius express his "old father" emotion again.

"Haven't I confessed now, father?" Draco said helplessly.

"So, what are you going to do?"

"Actually, I just invested in a research institute, and it was in the name of the Malfoy family."

"Injection, in the name of the Malfoy family?"

"Yes, the United States, the Alstom-Malfoy Research Institute, formerly known as the Alston Research Institute, mainly studies the influence of magical power on modern Muggle technology and electronic products."

It was still 1991, and computers were still the exclusive product of Muggle research institutions, government agencies, large corporations, and the military.As for the mobile phone, it is limited to the black brick-shaped object.

At this time, the wizards can still hold their heads high because of some of their own superiority, but before the wizards themselves know it, this superiority will disappear almost overnight.But what surprised him was that in the correspondence with Tom, he knew that as early as the end of World War II, the Alston family had opened a research institute to study why Muggle technology such as radar and radio could not Used in the wizarding world.

And those researchers are mostly bitch or half-blood wizards who have a certain understanding of both worlds.

"Malfoy in the back?"

"We only hold 11.00%." ​​This is still a big advantage of Drake, because the current patriarch of the Alston family, Tom's uncle, has obviously been running this for decades, but except for some gadgets that don't see much use , did not produce any qualified products, but invested a lot of money in the research institute, I was a little bored.

"What if I give you 50 Galleons?"

"I can make the Alston in front of me disappear." Drake didn't feel guilty for taking away a promising research institute. After all, Tom's uncle did sell the research institute in the past, and the result was also Because of this major mistake, he lost the position of patriarch and let Tom, who had just grown up at the time, take his place.

Lucius was a little surprised. He originally meant that if Drake was given another 50, would he do other things?But obviously he didn't expect that Drake would continue to invest money in that research institute.

Then plus the 10,000+ he originally invested, almost 70 Galleons, these gold coins are enough to crush a strong adult man to death.But Drake didn't hesitate at all and voted in one place.

"Eggs should not be put in one basket."

"In the case of a stable win, of course we should try our best to earn more."

"It seems that you are very confident, Xiaolong~"

"I'm full of confidence, Father~"

"I'll give you 50." Lucius smiled.

"Conditions?" Drake's eyes lit up.

"You don't have any birthday presents for this year."

"This is my best birthday present, father." Draco hugged his father, and they both knew that the so-called gift was actually not those Galleons, but Lucius' trust...

But happy times are always short-lived. Tomorrow, Draco will have to bid farewell to all this and officially become a first-year Hogwarts student.
