Hogwarts: I am Voldemort

The fire was burning and making a crackling sound.

Abu and Lucius were sitting not far away, both looking out the window at the night in trance.

They had just learned about the Dark Lord's talk about "scepter, torch, and sickle" from Draco.

"We will be the foundation of the scepter, right, Father?"

Lucius turned his head and looked at his father with a resolute face.

After the curse disappeared, Abu changed a lot, and the handsome face unique to the Malfoy family reappeared on his face.

But unlike Lucius's handsomeness, Abu's facial features are sharp and angular, so he looks resolute and handsome.

“If we do a good enough job, we will become a cornerstone.”

Lucius withdrew his gaze from the early spring night scene outside the window and frowned at his son, "It depends on your choice."

"Is it?"

Lucius murmured as if asking himself, avoiding his father's gaze.

Abu did not put more pressure on him, but withdrew his gaze and looked out the window.

Just as he and Voldemort said, all members of the Malfoy family obey the leadership of the family head.

He had given up this position long ago and was not prepared to take it back.

"I want to hear your advice, father," Lucius whispered.

Abu was startled for a moment, this sentence sounded very familiar.

Twenty years ago, when Voldemort was just gaining power and he was busy fighting in the Ministry of Magic, Lucius found him and asked him this question.

"It's your choice."

Abu said with a smile, and Lucius also smiled after hearing it.

"But I need you to give me some advice or analysis."

Lucius looked at his father and said the same words as he did twenty years ago.

He still remembered that his father hesitated for a long time before giving advice.

The Ministry of Magic, or joining the Death Eaters. Thinking about my father at that time, he didn't know where to go.

"The advice I gave last time almost sent you to Azkaban."

Abu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Suddenly, he understood his son.

Lucius is not a tough character like himself, and with that trial, he has done a good job in ensuring the honor of the family.

After thinking about this, he suddenly felt much more relaxed.

"I'm definitely on Tom's side."

He said firmly, and then his words became much gentler, "But you need to think more, child, the glory of the Malfoy family rests on your shoulders."

Lucius nodded, which was why he wavered.

The Malfoy family has been around for too long, and the family history has also recorded too many intrigues and power changes.

Choosing a position too early or investing too deeply can easily put the family into trouble.

Of course, efforts and gains must be directly proportional.

But the question is, does the Malfoy family need more?

The answer is no, so he keeps a hand open every time, which is why he can always get out.

"But don't forget the ancestors, Lucius."

Looking at his troubled son, Abu couldn't help but say, "His bravery does not only come from himself."

Generally speaking, the ancestors mentioned by the children of the Malfoy family without naming them are Armand Malfoy.

This ancestor's bravery and the power he developed through his bravery are the cornerstone of the Malfoy family's survival.

The entire Malfoy family is built on Armand Malfoy's achievements.

"what do you mean……"

Lucius came out of the tangle and looked at his father.

"The ancestors entered the stage of history because of their loyalty to William the Conqueror. Lucius, wise leaders are not common. Sometimes, the Malfoy family needs to cherish it." Abu said solemnly.

Lucius nodded, but did not get out of the dilemma.

"It's because the Dark Lord values ​​Draco that you..."

"No." Abu interrupted, "What I value more is the wisdom shown by the Dark Lord in this matter."

Lucius frowned, indicating that he didn't quite understand.

"He rejected Draco's idea of ​​joining the Death Eaters prematurely in order to make the pure-blood camp completely fall to the Scepter organization." Abu said.

"If the Dark Lord appears, all pure-blooded families will join the Death Eaters. I can't see the difference between the two." Lucius frowned.

"This is where you are not smart enough, Lucius. Sometimes you place too much emphasis on financial interests, which will weaken your political ability."

Abu's words made Lucius's cheeks turn red.

He is famous for his greed for money, but this is the first time he has encountered someone as outspoken as his father.

"The relative independence of the Death Eaters and the Scepter organization distinguishes the beliefs of the two. The former is loyal to the Dark Lord, and the latter is loyal to pure blood. This is the difference."

A domineering smile appeared on Abu's tough face, "In this way, both sides will work hard for their beliefs, and everyone will go all out, unlike before, where the Death Eaters were filled with scumbags."

Lucius's face turned redder.

In fact, he is the best among those fly-camp dogs.

If there was any family that benefited the most from the Dark Lord's last rise, it was the Malfoy family.

"Do you think it is better for the Malfoy family to lean toward the Death Eaters or the Wand organization?" Lucius asked.

"The Wands, and with Draco, we'll have a lot of advantages."

Abu said, glanced at Lucius and said, "But that doesn't mean that I don't want the Malfoy family to be loyal to the Dark Lord, and there is no contradiction between the two."

Lucius nodded. Through his father's judgment, he saw that his father had not lost his mind.

"But you want me to share that resource with the Dark Lord, right?" Lucius asked the key to the problem.

Abu nodded, this was exactly why he was looking for Lucius.

"If we do that, we will really fall to the Dark Lord." Lucius said with a sigh.

"It's up to you to decide, because you are the head of the Malfoy family."

Abu was carefree and laughed at his son's jokes.

"Father." Lucius suddenly sat up straight and said solemnly, "If it were you, what would you choose?"

"Leave it to him, I won't make the second choice." Abu said without hesitation.

Lucius stared at his father, and Abu stared back at him.

When the two looked at each other, Abu was obviously more determined, and Lucius was quickly defeated.

"I still have to think about it." Lucius lowered his head and said.

"This is exactly why you and I are different, Lucius. Just like when I sent you to Tom's hands, I also prepared for the worst."

Abu stood up and patted Lucius on the shoulder and said, "My child, a thousand-year-old family should have its responsibilities. You are not only the head of the Malfoy family, but also a member of the wizarding world."

Lucius touched his father's hand to show that he understood.

"I need to go to rest, you should also rest early, Lucius, I heard that you and Tom are going out tomorrow, right?" Abu asked.

"Yes, father, and old Nott," Lucius said.

"It seems that I need to recover better. He seems to dislike my old arms and legs."

Abu said, turned and left.

Lucius watched his father's figure disappear into the study, then looked out the window and fell into deep thought.

As the head of the Malfoy family, he dare not act negligently.

What's more, this matter also involves the Malfoy family's biggest secret.
