In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Of course, Jon had no objection to meeting the Malfoys.

Even if Lucius is really a man who loves his family, Jon doesn't have the slightest fondness for such a person.

When can maintaining family ties be used as a basis for whitewashing? Isn't this the normal human nature that we should have as a human being?

And besides that, what did the Lucius family do?

He claimed that his family had a noble bloodline, and even in the era before Voldemort had risen, he had an undisguised disdain and disgust for Mock wizards.

After the rise of Voldemort, he actually had no so-called loyalty to his so-called master. He just wanted to be a pure parasite, using the name of bloodline rule to suck the blood of his family and gain profits.

At the same time, when he was the master of the Auror office, he commanded his men to show no mercy in the pursuit of the Order of the Phoenix and the Hogwarts carriage. Many of the Order wizards who were captured alive were even tortured to death in his hands. Therefore, Kingsley and Moody absolutely hated him.

Now of course it is possible for Lucius to seek cooperation with him, but if he wants to exchange for cooperation in the name of not being liquidated in the future, this is definitely impossible.

Regarding this, not only did Jon not have the power to make his own decision and agree, but neither did Dumbledore himself.

The blood that has been shed and the people who have died cannot come back again, so those who should pay the price must pay the price, and no one can be an exception.

Of course, when meeting the Malfoy family now, they can't be so serious about their words. At least they still have a chance to atone for their sins. Maybe Lucius's fate will not change in the future, but Draco is still young and has not had time yet. Having done so many bad things, if Lucius wanted to turn from darkness to light, then his most precious son could inherit this part of the credit.

After asking Dobby to reply to his master that he would answer the appointment on time, Jon was no longer in the mood to enjoy the evening breeze outside. He turned back to the carriage and walked straight into Dumbledore's office.

"The Malfoys are definitely going to meet me."

Jon said straight to the point.

Dumbledore looked up from the pile of parchment on his desk and took off his glasses tiredly.

"He asked that house elf to come to you again?"

"Yes, the meeting time is on the last day of this month, and the meeting place is at the Pig Head Bar."

"Pig's Head Bar?"

Dumbledore was obviously surprised by this place, but then he smiled again.

"That's right. If you want to find a place in Hogsmeade suitable for a private meeting, then the Pig's Head Bar is indeed the best place. Then there are only two bars in the entire wizarding town, and the three Broomstick Bars are like It's Diagon Alley, crowded and lively, but it can only carry out some honest transactions, while the Hog's Head Bar is like Knockturn Alley, dark and messy, suitable for some shady transactions."

Jon always felt that Dumbledore's comparisons were very impure, and always gave people the impression that he was making fun of his silly brother.

"Professor, are you going to meet them?"

Dumbledore shook his head.

"I think Lucius never thought of hiding the meeting with you from me, but he must not be happy to see me on that occasion. Since he just invited you, then you can go to the appointment by yourself. Now, I’ll let Percival help look after you.”

"Then how should I talk to him then?"

Jon needs to let Dumbledore help him set the tone. Regarding the Malfoy family, he certainly cannot make decisions alone, nor can he make any promises in private.

Dumbledore thought for a moment and then spoke.

"If he expresses to you that he wants to keep in touch with us privately and provide us with information about Riddell in exchange for the future safety of his family, you can tell the truth."

"Don't we need to win over him?"

"There is no need. Lucius thinks he is smart, but in fact many people can see his little cleverness. It is because of this that Riddle gave him the position of Director of the Auror Office, which is not worthy of the name. He has no access to the real core of Riddle, and the information he can convey to us can all be known through your teacher, so he is actually far less important than he thinks, and whether we fight for him or not is completely irrelevant."

Jon nodded while Dumbledore continued.

"If he is only looking for you about matters related to his son, Draco Malfoy, then this is completely up to you to make your own decision. If he wants to ask you to help ensure the safety of his son, he must issue enough The conditions for impressing people, you can decide for yourself whether this condition is acceptable or not.”

Jon had no doubts about this.

He was actually also curious, if Lucius really just wanted him to help and ensure Draco's safety in the next game, then what kind of conditions could he offer himself.

Time flies by quickly, and the last day of November is here in a blink of an eye.

Jon stopped staying in the carriage early in the morning and went directly to the Pig's Head pub in Aberforth.

Aberforth brought Jon a sausage, omelette and milk with an unkind look on his face, and asked dissatisfiedly.

"Why did you set the meeting place at my place? Are you going to arrest the Malfoy father and son?"

"It's not me who decided on the place, it was Lucius Malfoy himself."

Jon was quite satisfied with Aberforth's omelette cooking, at least it was much better than eating George's omelette on the carriage.

Hearing Jon's words, Aberforth's dirty, goatee-bearded face showed a sarcastic smile.

"Then the Director of Auror Command is really stupid."

"This actually proves that you are hiding well enough, doesn't it? No one would have thought that this place, considered the underground black market in Hogsmeade, is actually related to Professor Dumbledore."

Aberforth snorted.

"Because this store actually had no intention of having anything to do with him from the beginning. It was the old guy who was so shameless that he unilaterally commandeered it!"

Jon shrugged, making no sign of the strange affection between Dumbledore and his brothers.

I don’t know whether Lucius made the arrangements on his own initiative or it was a coincidence. There were very few guests coming to the Pig Head Bar today. Jon was wearing a faceless robe and sitting in the corner, boredly reading a book about spells. All day long, no one disturbed me.

Just when it was getting dark, two people, one large and one small, wearing black robes with their faces hidden in hoods, pushed open the door of the Pig Head Bar.
