Draco greeted Dudley and the others into Malfoy Manor, and told Dobby to continue guarding the gate and to wait for Ron and Neville.
They certainly weren't apparating the way they came.
When it was originally known that Ron was going to the Malfoy Manor of his archenemy Lucius, Mr. Weasley did not agree at first. Ron had an argument with his father for the first time in his life because of this, during the second year holiday. When the family went to Egypt for a trip, Ron was pulled down a lot and became the last person in the group of six. This time he wanted to go no matter what.
And if you Arthur and Lucius have a conflict, what does it have to do with me, Ron and Draco?
You fight what you do, and we play what we do. There is no conflict between the two.
Perhaps because he and his wife Molly talked all night long, or perhaps because he heard that Longbottom, Potter and others were also going, Mr. Weasley finally agreed.
Almost at the same time, Neville and Ron arrived at the gate of Malfoy Manor.
After Lucius saw Mr. Weasley, although he had known about it for a long time, he couldn't help but his face changed slightly, and he didn't say anything in the end. Likewise, Mr. Weasley said nothing.
What does the grudges of the previous generation have to do with the next generation?
They are all wizards, all wizards in England. There are really too few wizards compared to ordinary people.
The overall area of Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire, England is larger than Dudley's castle in Godric's Hollow. The overall style highlights a 'very gorgeous' one, and you feel like walking through smoke after passing through the exquisite wrought iron gate.
It is surrounded by well-designed gardens with fountains and free-roaming white peacocks.
Coupled with the extremely luxurious mansion and luxurious decoration, the whole place can only be described in one word.
That is - expensive!
For Malfoy, expensive is an attitude, expensive means good, expensive means great.
The title of Malfoy, the richest man, was not just talked about in the past.
It has declined a lot now, and the camels are still bigger than horses.
Many people say that the Weasley family was overwhelmed by having too many children. In fact, this is biased and can only be heard as a joke. Let the Malfoy family give birth to a child, even if they give birth to a child in their twenties or thirties. Ten can still maintain a decent life as a noble.
The only shortcoming is that Malfoy Manor can only look really beautiful, but once someone invades, it has no defense.
After following Draco into the Malfoy mansion, Ron was somewhat shocked by the luxurious scene inside. There are gilded decorations everywhere, the walls are covered with various portraits of the Malfoy family, and the stone floor tiles are all covered with gorgeous carpets.
These things would be unthinkable in Ron's house.
A vase and a chair can cost the Ron family a month or more.
Living in this kind of environment, no wonder Lucius said that when he saw Hagrid's cabin
"You call this a house?"
Although the actual value of the items in Hagrid's house is higher than the expensive furniture in Malfoy Mansion, no one would be so luxurious as to weave unicorn fur into a doghouse.
Compared with Malfoy Mansion, 99.9% of wizards' homes in the wizarding world are not called houses.
Ron felt an inexplicable feeling of inferiority in his heart while visiting the mansion.
Ron may appear carefree and careless on the surface, but in fact he is actually a very sensitive child.
Malfoy had long noticed his strangeness and said deliberately: "Hey, Robbio. Are you envious of me? These are all passed down from the ancestors of the Malfoy family, aren't they pretty good?"
Then he changed the topic and patted him on the shoulder: "Follow Brother D, we can earn everything we want through our own efforts."
It seemed like he was boasting, but he was actually trying to comfort Ron.
As expected, Ron immediately thought of the small account he had opened separately in Gringotts and the number of gold galleons in the account.
Suddenly I had the strength to fight in my heart.
"Who envy you? Sooner or later I will have a big house, and my name is Ron."
"Okay, Romeo."
Seeing Ron's reply, Draco smiled.
"Let's duel, this time I want to let you know how powerful my newly formed deck is."
Hearing that someone was so ignorant, Malfoy replied without any sign of weakness: "It seems that someone is ready to lose to me for the 301st time."
While playing around, Draco took Ron and Neville to the room prepared for them.
Dudley was placed in the first guest room, followed by Hermione, then Harry, Neville and Ron, counting down.
After putting their luggage in the room, the group of people went to the living room led by Dobby the house elf.
Meet Narcissa and Lucius as hosts.
Although Lucius was not very willing to see Dudley, he still came. After a few brief greetings, the two had a pleasant conversation. Of course, the whole process did not mention the matter of being a school director.
Compared with Lucius's fear of Dudley, Narcissa was more curious about Dudley. She was curious about what kind of person was so charming that her son could not live without Brother D. The same was true for the Slytherin juniors at the same time.
However, after meeting each other, apart from feeling that the other person was strong and strong, there was nothing special about him and he lost interest.
At night, there was a knock on the door of Lucius's study in the Malfoy mansion.
Lucius looked at Dudley outside the door in shock, not knowing what he was doing coming to see him so late.
"Mr. Lucius, I have information that I believe you are interested in."
Dudley's eyes fell on Lucius's left arm, he glanced back and forth, and then pointedly said, "Have you been feeling it from time to time recently?"
Not sure if it was an illusion, but the moment Dudley's eyes fell, Lucius felt the mark on his left arm feel slightly hot.
Voldemort's supporters are called Death Eaters, and each of them has a mark given by him on their left arm, a black snake spitting out letters.
When summoned by Voldemort, the mark will become hot.
Lucius has not felt this feeling for twelve years. He originally thought that the guy was dead and those things have passed over time. In addition, the Ministry of Magic's continuous raids on dark magic items have made it unbearable to disturb him. Only then would he give the little daughter of the Weasley family the diary that Voldemort left specially for him more than a year or two years ago.
Used to frame the other party. We all know what happened next.
Lucius failed and paid for his position as school director.
I originally thought that the matter would end here, but recently Lucius faintly felt that this mark had a different reaction.
'How could he know? '
Lucius shivered for no reason, and regardless of his aristocratic demeanor, he looked around for a while and then quickly said to Dudley: "Come in."
