Chapter 358 Conversation with Malfoy

From the moment he heard the system prompt, Rossi basically had no expectations about searching Malfoy Manor.

After Melody showed the search warrant to Lucius and entered the mansion, the Aurors immediately dispersed and started searching everywhere.

"Director Melody, most of the things in my house are expensive. Please restrain your subordinates from damaging them."

Lucius said with a deadpan smile, "After all, you are searching with a warrant, not ransacking your home, right?"

"Mr. Malfoy, I believe in the professionalism of Aurors."

Melody had a faint smile on her lips, "Except for those dark magic items that are expressly prohibited from being kept privately, they won't touch anything."

As she said that, she turned to look at Rossi who was still standing next to her and said, "Rossy, please go and help too. Let's try not to delay Mr. Lucius's Christmas."

In fact, rather than conducting a search, Rossi hoped to communicate with the house elf following Lucius, maybe he could get some clues.

But judging from the current situation, if she rashly proposed to talk to Dobby, I'm afraid Lucius would not agree.

"Okay." Rossi responded to Melody and suppressed the idea for the time being.

"Draco, why didn't you say hello to your teacher?"

At this time, Lucius patted Draco on the head and said, "Go quickly and entertain your teacher."

Draco said "Huh" and then quickly chased after Rossi.

The two walked from the living room, which was lit by a large chandelier and had purple wallpaper on the walls, to the stairwell.

Looking at Draco who had been silent after saying hello but followed him anyway, Rossi smiled and asked: "Draco, what's wrong with you following me?"

Looking back at his parents and others in the living room who were looking over here, Draco blushed on his pale face: "Professor, a few minutes ago, my father told me to thank you when I see you.

.”

"thank?"

This made Rossi confused, "Thank me for what?"

Shaking his head vigorously, Draco said that he did not understand Lucius's thoughts: "I don't know, but my mother said you saved me."

Saved you?

Because I captured Barty Jr.? So Lucius has an excuse not to let Draco carry out Voldemort's mission?

From this point of view, I did save Draco, but why did Lucius ask him to come and thank me?

Various thoughts were circulating in Rosie's mind. She looked back at the Lucius couple who were chatting with Melody in the living room, and walked slowly up the stairs:

"Draco, did your parents say anything else?"

"No, that's all they said." Draco shook his head again.

With a smile on her lips, Rossi said tentatively: "Okay, then I have to go on a mission. You can go back to your parents."

"Professor, my family is very big. Most people who come to my house for the first time will get lost."

At this point, Draco raised his chin habitually and said, "Let me follow. At least I can help you lead the way."

Help me lead the way? Search your home?

Well, I didn't plan to use you as a breakthrough point, but since you are like this, I won't be polite.

Muttering in his mind, Rossi looked at him and started [cross-examination]: "What is your real purpose of following me?"

"My father asked me to entertain you because he wanted me to follow you all the time and see where you go." Draco told the truth without realizing it.

"Then do you know where Haierbo's madness potion is?" Rossi asked again.

"Helpo's madness potion?"

Malfoy thought for a few seconds, "Before you came here, my father received a letter, and then destroyed both the potion and the letter."

It seems that my guess was correct.

Muttering in his mind, Rossi shrugged:

"Is there anything in your house that cannot be found?"

"Can't be discovered? Dark magic items?" Malfoy replied, "My father said that as a pure-blood family with a long history, if the family does not collect some dark magic items, other families will laugh at it."

What kind of weird comparison mentality is this? Are you proud of breaking the law and violating discipline?

Secretly complaining, the two walked up to the second floor:

"Has anyone special been at your house recently?"

"without……"

Before he finished speaking, Draco's goldfish-like eyes suddenly widened, "What did you do to me?"

"What did you do?" Rossi looked at him kindly, pretending not to know his question.

"I, I... why would I answer these questions of yours?" Draco's voice sounded very nervous.

"I am your teacher. Let's go back to my question honestly. This is the most normal thing, isn't it?"

Rossi smiled and touched his light blond hair, "Just like you answered my questions in class, this at least proves that you are a good student, right?"

Seeing the pale look on his face from Rossi's water-cut eyes, Draco took a step back, trembling.

"Professor, professor, you can wander around as you like, I, I'll go back to find my dad."

Without saying a word, he quickly ran downstairs.

Tsk! It seems that as long as it is a wizard, even if the other party is a child, the effective time of [Interrogation] will still be reduced.

Rossi smacked her lips and murmured silently. Seeing that there were already two Aurors searching on this floor, she walked straight upstairs.

At midnight, everyone returned to the living room again.

As expected by Rossi, although they searched almost the entire mansion, they found no useful clues except for some banned black magic items.

"Director Melody, I think that as a pure-blood family with a long bloodline, it is not an exaggeration to own some dark magic items, right?"

Looking at the dark magic items that were taken down by the Aurors and piled up on the long table, Lucius looked a little unhappy. "After all, many family items existed before the Ministry of Magic banned them."

"Yeah?"

Melody casually opened a wooden box with an exquisite appearance. Inside was a skull stuck in a pipe, "Don't tell me, this is also an heirloom of your Malfoy family?"

The expression on Lucius's face froze for a moment, and then he said with a straight face:

"This may be something given by someone who came to ask me for help. I have never opened it. Well, after all, my family has too many things in my collection. It is impossible for me to know everything."

"Yeah?"

Melody stared at him playfully and handed the item to Rossi casually, "This is a first-level prohibited item. We have confiscated it. If you have any objections, you can lodge a reconsideration with the Wizengamot."

"I have no objection."

Lucius glanced at the pile of items on the table, "All the black magic items in my home are placed here. If you have time, you can help check them. Those are particularly serious prohibited items, and I can do it."

Give it to the Ministry of Magic."

At this time, Rossi took over the skull.

"Skull shisha, a magic prop used by the Dark Lord Grindelwald, is filled with special tobacco and liquid, and the paper is blown and inhaled. It can spray out brainwashing gas and form the image of the user's mind. See

people will be convinced by this image."

"It's already a new day, so I won't disturb your holiday."

Melody chuckled lightly, "But Mr. Malfoy, please don't worry. Whenever we have time, we will come to help you identify these things. Let's go."

With that said, she declined Lucius's farewell and walked out of the living room first.

Rosie was not in a hurry to follow her out. After everyone left, she smiled and said to Lucius:

"Mr. Lucius, as a wizard, it is a bit unseemly to carry this skeleton in the middle of the night. Do you think you can have someone help deliver it?"
