Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 385 Using Lies to Refute an Accidental Misunderstanding! A Mad Turn of Events!

"This……"

Amicus was shocked upon hearing this, and looked at Lucius with eyes full of astonishment. "Lucius, you wouldn't... you wouldn't be completely siding with the White Wizards and dragging us down with you to betray Lord Dark Lord, would you?!"

You...you guys are too audacious! Don't forget, even Harry Potter, the savior, couldn't kill the Dark Lord, let alone some Chinese dark wizard.

There are indeed black wizards in China, and they are roaming around various countries, but it's still uncertain whether they have captured the soul of the Dark Lord!

Don't forget, the source of this news is that mud... the Dursley assistant professor, and the professors at Hogwarts, they are all Dumbledore's people!

In any case, our Carlo family will never completely betray Lord Dark Lord; we still want to live!

Amycus's reply was extremely firm, his voice rising eight octaves, and he no longer addressed Lucius as Mr. Malfoy, but instead called him by his first name.

Now, anyone with eyes can see that Amicus has no chance of changing his mind or agreeing with the white wizards' egalitarian ideals.

At that moment, Lucius slammed his exquisitely crafted cane into the ground, and a hearty smile instantly spread across his face:

"Excellent! That's exactly the idea! The Carlo family hasn't disgraced the Twenty-Eight Holy Families! Truly wise and insightful!"

It took Amykus a while to realize what was happening.

It turned out that he had misunderstood. Lucius was testing his intentions and did not intend to completely side with the White Wizards.

“Mr. Malfoy, I knew someone as intelligent as you wouldn’t go down the wrong path. You really gave me a fright just now.”

Amycus quickly restored his respect for Lucius.

"Hahaha, our pure-blooded holy race is currently at a disadvantage, so we must be careful and not let any fools infiltrate our group. Amicus, you won't blame me for testing you just now, will you?"

Lucius's smile became even more gentle, startling Amicus.

"Of course not. You were only thinking of the overall interests of our pure-blooded holy race. How could I blame you? On the contrary, I should reflect on my actions. I almost misunderstood you just now, which was really wrong of me."

Although Amicus is not very intelligent, he is someone who has been involved in the social circles of pure-blood factions for many years, representing the Carlo family, so he still has some emotional intelligence.

"By the way, why hasn't Alecto said anything all day?"

Lucius changed the subject. Based on past interactions, Alecto wasn't usually one to remain silent in such situations, so his behavior today was rather strange.

When Amycus heard Lucius mention his sister, his expression changed abruptly, then returned to normal.

He glanced at Alecto, met his eyes, then quickly turned back to the Malfoys and explained:

“My sister hasn’t been feeling well lately. If it weren’t for the presence of distinguished guests like you two, I would have preferred her to rest in her room and not come out to see guests.”

"I see..."

Lucius sensed something was amiss, but he didn't dwell on it for the time being. He planned to exchange a few more polite words and then leave with his wife.

Unexpectedly, 'Alecto' suddenly spoke, and not to Lucius, but to Narcissa:

“I remember, Mrs. Malfoy, you must be from the Black family, right?”

"Alector, why are you asking this?"

Before Narcissa could reply, Lucius frowned and asked her back in a slightly unfriendly tone.

His wife comes from the Black family and is one of Sirius Black's three cousins, the only male heir in the Black family. This is common knowledge within the pure-blood family circle.

Even wizards who had lived in the British magical community for a long time had heard of it.

In this situation, after Alecto had probed Amicus's thoughts, he brought up the matter in a pretentious manner, even bypassing Amicus and speaking directly to his wife. What did he mean by this?

Are they trying to use Sirius's current identity and position to question the Malfoy family's stance and his earlier lies about 'sincere feelings'?

Upon realizing this, Lucius could not remain calm, but he also could not appear particularly agitated, so he could only ask a question in return, while glancing at Amicus.

The look in his eyes meant that Amicus should discipline his unruly sister.

To Lucius's surprise, Amicus, who had just been completely convinced of his abilities and had gone to great lengths to flatter him, now ignored him completely, keeping his head down and remaining silent.

That clearly meant that the Carlo family's power of speech had been completely handed over to Alecto.

This is very abnormal!

Lucius's brow furrowed even deeper.

He didn't realize that his analysis was completely superfluous and missed the point entirely.

This Alecto isn't considering the positions or thoughts of pure-blood families at all; he's only focused on the Black family itself.

Moreover, his question received no response from Alecto.

Alecto continued to rudely ignore him, staring only at his wife.

“You’re right, but I am now the matriarch of the Malfoy family!”

Narcissa placed her hand on her husband's arm, signaling Lucius to calm down, and at the same time, calmly replied to Alecto.

"Ha~ Hahahaha—"

Upon hearing this, Alecto suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, his manic temperament radiating outwards.

This startled Lucius and also made Narcissa very wary.

The couple immediately tensed up and simultaneously reached for their wands in perfect unison.

Alecto's maniacal laughter abruptly ceased. Her head returned to a level gaze, her cold eyes fixed on the Malfoys, a smirk playing on her lips as she extended an invitation:

"It's almost noon, you two, why don't you have lunch here?"

"No, we've already made arrangements with the Greengrass family, so we won't bother you any longer."

This time, Narcissa didn't wait for her husband to negotiate; she calmly and elegantly gave a reply.

After saying that, without waiting for Alexo's reply, Narcissa pulled Lucius back two steps and quickly left.

As soon as she stepped out of the reception room of the Carlo family manor, she activated Apparition and teleported away with her husband in a flash.

Only Alector and Amicus remained in the reception room.

After the Malfoys left, Alecto stood up and roared, "Useless trash!"

Amycus was so frightened that he quickly stood up and stood respectfully to the side.

What he didn't know was that his cheap "sister" not only called him a good-for-nothing, but also insulted his real sister.

Just now, Eclairs's mutated soul intended to control Alex's body and use magic to directly destroy the Malfoys, who were related to the main branch of the Black family.

She popped champagne halfway through the game, laughing hysterically, only to discover that Alecto's pitiful, outrageously weak magical abilities were simply insufficient for her to forcefully subdue the Malfoys.

Beside her, Amicus, who was affected by her mutated Imperius Curse, was also a useless person and could not be relied upon.

He could only awkwardly stop laughing, wanting to invite the Malfoys to stay for dinner, while preparing to take the opportunity to poison them and launch a sneak attack.

Unexpectedly, the Malfoys were not fooled at all and made an excuse to escape.
