I swung my greatsword at Hogwarts

Chapter 98 Lucius and the Silver Hand Letter



Malfoy Manor.

Lucius Malfoy hasn't been having a great time lately.

He threatened the other Hogwarts trustees and forced them to sign Dumbledore's suspension.

He was expelled from the school board after Dumbledore's return for this incident.

That's bad for the Malfoys, and even worse for the Malfoys' dark magic items.

Almost every old pure-blood family has two things, one is a house-elf, and the other is a dark magic item.

This is the case with the Malfoy family. It can even be said that the Malfoy family, which once followed Voldemort, is full of black magic props.

Voldemort didn't trust the Malfoy family, but he also treated Lucius very preferentially because of the ancient family and those dark magic props.

That damned Arthur Weasley was staring at Malfoy Manor right now, and Lucius didn't know that his son had revealed the dark magic vault.

He was really afraid that one day Arthur Weasley would kick open the gate of Malfoy Manor and take the whole Malfoy family to Azkaban.

Lucius wanted to sell it, but the Bojinbok antique shop with which he had an important connection has long since disappeared.

He thought of Sean Shafik, that old vulture must be interested in these things.

But that person is notoriously greedy, and he would lower the price so that there is no profit, so Lucius thought about it for a long time.

It's just that he didn't expect that when he hesitated for a while, when he went to Shafiq's house again, the place was already empty.

"Damn Weasley, damn Harry Potter!"

Lucius slammed his fist on the banister, annoyed and angry.

"Shut up your temper, Lucius."

When Mrs. Malfoy saw him, Narcissa raised her chin slightly, looking very proud.

"Narcissa, Arthur Weasley will come running any moment."

Lucius just wanted to vent his temper, but he had to hold back because of his wife's arrival.

I had no choice but to grab the railing with helpless and furious hands.

"You can hide the black magic item, or you can sell it, Lucius, don't show cowardice in front of Draco."

Mrs. Malfoy approached Lucius, her gaze fell across the window to her son practicing magic there.

She could feel that her son had changed a lot at Hogwarts.

Although he was well-behaved in the past, he became a crying nose who loved to be called Dad because of his parents. Now Draco is completely different.

Even daughters of the eternally pure Black family become sentimental when they become mothers.

Narcissa was relieved by Draco's change, and she also comforted her husband.

Lucius was a little irritable, his voice amplified a little, and he said, "Of course I know, it's just that Arthur Weasley seems to know about my warehouse, and he swore that day that he would let me spend the rest of my life in Azkaban."

"I want to sell black magic props now. Bojinbok was captured and taken to Azkaban, and that old vulture, Sean Shafik, moved with his family. I don't know who to turn to."

Malfoy's family is not short of money, what he needs is a place where he can temporarily keep his belongings.

The former Bojinbok is one, and the sold items can be bought back at the original price, which is a tacit understanding between the two.

Now Silverhands Johnny's had banned Borginbock, and he'd heard that the people there seemed to be working closely with the Ministry of Magic.

Lucius didn't dare to bet that if the other party reported back to the Ministry of Magic, he would squat in Azkaban and kiss the dementor every day.

Just thinking about that scene makes me shudder.

Narcissa saw his concerns, and said, "You have to try, I don't want our son to have a father squatting in Azkaban."

Lucius' complexion changed several times.

At this moment, a long-eared black owl arrived at Malfoy Manor.

A letter fell on the windowsill. Lucius glanced at it, but didn't pick it up.

Subconsciously, he thought that Dobby the house-elf would pick it up and bring it to him carefully.

However, he forgot about being plotted against by Harry. After realizing it, he put on a dark face and stomped heavily on the floor in retaliation.

This is a special letter.

There was no name on the letter, just black sealing wax with a silver handprint on it.

Lucius thought of the current king of Knockturn Alley, Johnny Silverhand.

The sign on it was the same as that of the Johnny Silver Hand store, and he was inexplicably nervous.

As soon as I thought of Johnny Silverhands, they sent me letters.

Although I knew it was a coincidence, I was unavoidably a little uneasy.

Opening the letter, his complexion changed several times.

Narcissa took everything into her eyes, and she came over and picked up the letter and read it.

Like Lucius, Narcissa became a little puzzled and asked, "Do you know Johnny Silverhand?"

Lucius shook his head and said with a strange expression, "We've never met before."

The husband and wife looked at each other, and the letter stated that they were willing to provide a hiding place for the Malfoy family's dark magic props.

Not only that, Johnny Silverhand is also happy to help Lucius return to the position of director of Hogwarts.

Each of these things is risky, why is Johnny Yinhand willing to help?

The couple couldn't figure it out, Lucius hesitated and said, "Could it be, he is..."

His lips moved, and Lucius looked subconsciously at his left hand.

Narcissa's face turned serious. Regarding the Death Eaters, no matter who they are, they will be sent to Azkaban once they are discovered.

Besides the Death Eaters, Lucius really couldn't figure out why Johnny Silverhand wanted to help him.

Staring at the letter, the husband and wife fell into deep thought.

Draco Malfoy didn't know that his parents were facing a choice, and he agreed with John's words very much at this moment.

"Only one's own strength is the most glorious."

He pointed at a human-shaped target, as if thinking of it as Harry Potter, and the spell was continuously cast on the target.

After experiencing the team's cold eyes and his father's dismissal, he completely transformed.

Even after Gore and Crabbe came, they only became sparring partners.

...

Being replenished by the deficient Little Wizard Fund, Mundungus felt as uncomfortable as being cut with a knife.

Seeing the strength of Johnny's Silver Hand, the wizards, who were hindered by the Shafiq family's face before, can finally patronize them freely.

In a short period of time, the turnover of the Johnny Silver Hand store doubled several times.

Kim Ledisley's bright smile never stopped, and the sound of Garen colliding kept ringing out.

John has prepared an office for himself, and he is sitting in it, holding letters from various parties in his hand.

"Thank you, Riddle."

Reaching out and petting the long-eared black owl, John fed it a piece of dried fish.

There were a lot of letters, most of them were from the wharf of the dark wizards of Knockturn Alley, asking about the new rules.

The Shafiq family used to control these things, but now there is a new king, they are very knowledgeable.

Of course, there will be some ignorant ones.

At this time, John will give them a condition that they cannot refuse, such as sending them to Azkaban or being bitten by a werewolf.

These people are quick to be honest.

Before doing anything, John will send a letter of condolence to those people.

This letter is also known as a silver hand letter. The content of the letter is very simple. It is to tell them that they regret not being friends, and then there will be a big silver handprint on it.

Those who received this kind of letter would either roll over to show their friendship the next day, or disappear in Knockturn Alley.

Under such awe, everyone knew that Johnny Silverhand was more decisive than the previous Sean Shafik.

A letter from Malfoy Manor caught John's attention, and he opened the envelope.

The content inside made the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with a smile: "Lucius Malfoy is a sensible person, but the Death Eaters have to deal with it well."

Knowing that Lucius is a Death Eater, but Lucius is a very impure Death Eater.

He showed off his might during Voldemort's powerful period, but after Voldemort's downfall, he was the most active among the first people to distance himself from the relationship.

This is very much in line with Slytherin, strong followers, good calculations, wise and safe.

After Voldemort's resurrection, Lucius will return to Voldemort's side, but he is definitely not a diehard.

The real Voldemort loyalists are all staying in Azkaban, and these outsiders are at best the little guys who are waving the flag and shouting behind.

"Make good use of this identity."

John touched his chin. The identity of Johnny Silver Hand is now an influential figure.

As a place to focus on, John will naturally not only be in Knockturn Alley.

Diagon Alley is the big head, where wizards all over the country go.

Putting the mask back on, John went downstairs.

All wizards who see that mask salute with awe and reverence.

This scene also fell into the eyes of the surveillance Aurors. They knew that a guy who was more troublesome than Sean Shafik was born.
