Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 384 The Malfoys' Visit! Testing the Carroll Family!

Amicus turned to look at his sister, and when he met her deep eyes that seemed so different from before, he felt a sudden, inexplicable fear.

He swallowed hard, his voice much weaker than when he yelled at the house-elves, and said meekly:

"Let's go together, sis... sis."

Two minutes later, Amycus and 'Alecto' arrived at the reception room of their manor and met the Malfoys, who were aloof, elegant, and exuded aristocratic air.

After their son returned home for summer vacation, Lucius and Narcissa learned from him about the task Dudley had assigned them.

Let them make good use of their summer vacation to further influence the two-faced Death Eater group, the corrupt pureblood forces, and especially the parents of those pureblood snakes who have already changed their thinking in school, so that they will accept the white wizarding ideal of equality and non-discrimination from the bottom of their hearts.

Dali's requirements are not high; no rigid targets have been set.

Let the Malfoy family proceed cautiously and slowly, trying to influence them if possible, and not wasting time if they cannot be influenced.

The minimum requirement is simply to prevent those pureblood snakes who have already undergone a change of heart from being 'contaminated' back by their two-faced Death Eater parents.

Upon receiving this mission, Lucius, Narcissa, and their son quickly discussed the action plan.

Based on their understanding of the two-faced Death Eaters and their son's understanding of the mindset of the pure-blooded snakes in the school, they began to subdivide the internal factions of the two-faced Death Eaters.

Which cases are beyond saving for both the child and the parents? Which cases involve children who have improved but whose parents might waver? Which cases involve children who have improved but whose parents are unlikely to waver?

Which of these are the two-faced Death Eaters who currently have no children attending Hogwarts, only adults...?

After the internal divisions were finalized, we visited each one to confirm the details.

The order of visits was naturally: first, to the pure-blooded families with a chance of changing their minds, and then to the families with a lower chance.

Since the start of summer vacation, the Malfoy family has been making the most of their time, visiting as many schools as possible. If any of their children are studying at Hogwarts, they bring Draco along for the visits; otherwise, the couple visits the schools together.

We've almost completed the entire visit.

Today we are visiting the Carroll family, whom they believe has a very low chance of changing their mindset and currently has no children studying at Hogwarts.

Therefore, Draco did not follow.

"Mr. Malfoy, Mrs. Malfoy, what brings you to the Carroll family today?"

Facing the undisputed leader of the two-faced Death Eaters, Amycus was extremely respectful and spoke in a very gentle tone.

The Malfoys glanced at the Carlo siblings. Lucius didn't notice anything amiss, but Narcissa had a vague feeling that Alecto seemed a little different than usual.

But Narcissa remained silent and made no impolite move in the face of Amycus's question, waiting for Lucius to step forward and negotiate.

"Nothing important, just dropping by. The current situation is unfavorable to our pure-blooded holy race, so we naturally need to communicate more and unite as one."

Lucius smiled slightly and uttered what seemed to be heartfelt words, but were actually just polite platitudes.

They were there to sound out the Death Eaters, and they knew all too well the Death Eaters' ruthless nature. They would never reveal their family's true stance and thoughts until a more powerful magical pact was established, no matter which two-faced Death Eater's home they went to.

Amicus, lacking in magical skill, courage, and intelligence, naturally smiled broadly upon hearing Lucius's overtures and quickly replied:

"Of course, nowadays we pure-blooded holy races all have to rely on Mr. Malfoy."

"Rest assured, if the Dark Lord ever returns, our Carlo family will be the first to explain to him that you led the family and us through hardship and humiliation for the greater good, and that you did not truly side with the White Wizard."

Upon hearing Amycus's words, the Malfoys knew that the Caro family was doomed.

As for the nice things Amycus said earlier, that was pure nonsense.

How could a coward who would flee at the first sign of trouble and abandon his Death Eater identity possibly have the courage to explain himself to Voldemort? At most, he would just follow the crowd and echo the voices of the crowd.

However, even if that's the thought, we still need to take the test a step further.

What Amycus just said was merely a consensus reached at the last collective meeting of the two-faced Death Eaters, and could also be interpreted as Amycus's insincere words as an attempt to curry favor with the Malfoy family.

We cannot directly deduce Amycus's true inner thoughts.

So Lucius began exchanging pleasantries with Amicus, discussing at length the interests of the corrupt pure-blood forces in the magical world.

This includes the decline in the influence of corrupt pure-blood factions on nominating Ministry of Magic officials and ordinary staff; demands for higher wages from wizarding employees at the Magical Beasts Breeding Farm and Magical Herb Plantation; and demands for rent reductions from wizarding tenants for ancestral shops in Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley…

After the corrupt pure-blooded forces jointly issued that non-discrimination statement, on the surface, they were unaffected and simply needed to remain silent and reduce their activities.

But in reality, their actual interests are inevitably shrinking.

Since you agree that the idea of ​​pure-blood supremacy is nonsense and that all wizards are equal, then why are you able to directly place people in the Ministry of Magic, where ordinary wizards need to pass multiple tests to enter?

Why is the salary so low? And why is the rent so high?

You must adjust this! If you don't, your statement is a sham and must be resisted by all white wizards!

The corrupt, pure-blooded forces that had already backed down and submitted had no choice but to continue submitting in the face of these accusations.

Otherwise, Dumbledore, who has become powerful, and Dudley, who has always been powerful since he became famous, might just eliminate them directly.

Their past transgressions can be attributed to the Imperius Curse, because even after Voldemort's downfall, they still held considerable power and wealth in the wizarding world.

Dumbledore in the past did not have the idea of ​​settling scores with them.

But if Dumbledore initiates a purge, every single one of them will end up in Azkaban, or even be 'escaped' or 'resisted arrest,' dying on the spot under the curse of Dumbledore and his men.

Therefore, when their interests were harmed in the past, the two-faced Death Eaters, though unwilling, all chose to accept their fate after being analyzed and persuaded by the Malfoys.

Now that Lucius has brought it up with Amicus alone, Amicus's thoughts are crystal clear in his reply:

"Those damned Mudbloods! When Lord Dark Lord returns, they will have to pay back double what they've eaten of us!"

"Alas, isn't that what I think too?"

Lucius sighed dramatically, then his expression hardened, and he asked solemnly, "But what if... I mean, what if the Dark Lord doesn't come back? Or what if the Dark Lord needs to recuperate for many, many years before he can return?"

Don't forget, the Dark Lord's soul has already been taken away by that powerful Chinese dark wizard using magical artifacts!
