Felix glanced around, some smiled, some looked alert, and some lowered their heads and pretended not to see him.

"Felix! I've been looking forward to your arrival." Sirius strode over, he hugged Felix and whispered in a low voice: "Thank God, I almost thought I had been involved in the Death Eater camp."

Felix smiled and said softly, "You called me, aren't you?"

Sirius sighed, "It's all in-laws, written on the genealogy, there's no way... Frank and Alice are also uncomfortable." He let go of Felix, Harry, Ron and Draco and walked over.

"Professor." "Professor Hay." "Hello, Professor Hay." They said respectively.

Felix nodded at them, and Draco glanced at the other two, seeing that they had no intention of leaving, he whispered: "Professor, my father wants to talk to you alone..." Harry and Ron immediately widened their eyes, as if they smelled the mouse's cat.

"Now?" Felix looked in surprise in the direction of the Malfoy and his wife. Lucius Malfoy hugged his wife, holding a snake-headed cane in his other hand, and chatted and laughed with Mr. Crouch. Crouch had a stern face and a meticulous face. He rarely spoke, and listened most of the time, occasionally responding "It's like this", "I agree", "Maybe there is a better way."

While speaking, Lucius looked over here and smiled reservedly, "Please forgive me, Mr. Crouch." He walked over, changed his cane to the left, and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Hepp, I have always been looking forward to meeting you for a formal meeting."

"Mr. Malfoy—"

"Call me Lucius, I also call you Felix. I have a close relationship with Severus." Lucius Malfoy said, holding hands together, "I am the predecessor he entered school." He said, staring at Felix with gray eyes.

"Well, Lucius, are you trying to understand Malfoy Jr.'s performance in school?"

"Actually... it's some private matter," Lucius said.

"Okay," Felix nodded and said, "Please--"

The two came to a secluded place, behind an oak tree, half of Lucius's face was hidden in the shadow. From a distance, Harry and Ron blatantly looked around, and Ron said to Draco: "What are you doing?"

Draco looked at him contemptuously, Ron's robe seemed to be a modified old dress, with the edges of the cuffs turning white, and the color was not pure black. "If I were you, I would be ashamed to see people in such a robe - Ronnie," he said in a long voice.

Ron was so angry that his whole body was trembling. Harry quickly grabbed him. Today was Regulus' funeral. He didn't want them to fight here. Harry stood in front of Ron and planned to mock Draco Malfoy for a few words, but a surprised voice sounded behind Draco, causing his body to stiffen.

"Draco, you just now, just now-" Narcissa looked at him hesitantly, her eyes circling between her son and Ron, and her blue eyes were rounded with an expression of hearing the shocking secret.

"Mom! Not what you thought-" Draco hurriedly explained, the nickname he mentioned was just a mockery and had no other meaning.

"Draco Malfoy, come with me." Narcissa said with a stern face after taking care of her clothes.

Draco opened his mouth and followed his mother dejectedly.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and after a while, Ron suddenly shuddered and his face frowned: "She wouldn't have thought of it--so disgusting!" Harry held back his laughter and said: "At least, Malfoy will never call you like this again."

They looked at the big oak tree where Professor Hepp and Lucius Malfoy were talking, guessing what they would talk about. But the fact is that they were still wandering around the periphery.

"...I sent a letter to Dumbledore to express my concerns. Muggles and wizards are two lines in parallel, but unfortunately, stories like "Foot Luck" that encourage wizards and Muggles to intermarry are still circulating." Lucius took a hypocritical attitude.

He whispered: "I don't want my son to be affected by reading such stories, thus tarnishing his pure bloodline. As a father, I have always been trembling with fear to help him resist interference from the complex world outside... But suddenly I discovered that a man's influence on Draco once surpassed me, as my father, and he refuted me for the first time. He used the contents of a comic strip."

Felix smiled and said, "People always grow up, not live like their parents. As a professor, it is quite fulfilling to be able to gain the love of students."

"But don't you think you're too busy?" Lucius Malfoy said coldly.

"What are you referring to, Christmas gifts, or whatever?"

"Improve it, Felix, you are Severus's favorite student, we are naturally in the same camp." Lucius said, narrowing his gray eyes: "I am a little shallow in the pure blood circle, not worth mentioning. We are not old-fashioned, and we also welcome fresh blood."

"Lucius, you should have heard of what I did..." Felix said, feeling that the conversation between the two is now on the topic.

"Threatening some stupid fools who can't see the situation?" Lucius said. "They don't prevent us from establishing friendships. You and the Malfoy family have never had any conflict."

"I'm a Muggle..."

"As long as it doesn't affect Draco."

"Some pure blood will strongly object..."

"I will mediate from it."

"I'm not interested in idiots..."

"And I am just the opposite, you will find that just by applying a little means, you can become their brains."

"I'm from a Muggle..."

“To be precise, I was from a Muggle orphanage,” Lucius said slyly: “From the talent you show, we have reason to believe that your bloodline is quite pure, and if you want, I will investigate a ‘satisfactory’ result and give you justice.”

Felix laughed. He knew Lucius's intentions. He might represent some people. As Felix's presence becomes stronger and stronger and his influence becomes greater, some people can no longer sit still and try to send friendly signals. If he can pull him into his own camp, it is an excellent choice.

He believed that as long as he spoke, the families that had offended him would fall silently, and companies that he had not yet started would also develop rapidly with the support of secret forces, and even stayed in Hogwarts for a few years. In more than ten years, he could choose between the position of principal Hogwarts and the Secretary of Magic at will.

Seeing that he seemed to be hesitating, Lucius warned in a slight manner: "The past should not be an obstacle, we should look forward, what do you think?"

"There is only one problem-"

"What?"

"There is only one problem, Lucius," Felix said in his gray eyes, "You reminded me, look forward...but I saw more, farther things, beyond your expectations-"

Lucius frowned.

"Do you know how to enclose your brain?" Felix suddenly changed his mind and asked.
