I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - #152 - Chapter 152 Attending the Banquet

Wiltshire, England.

On the outskirts, a luxurious manor is located here, surrounded by green trees. The exquisite peacock statue and various rare flowers in front of the door seem to silently tell the character of the owner of this manor.

When Ian arrived at the gate of the manor, the Malfoy family was already standing there waiting. The moment he saw him, Old Malfoy stepped forward.

“Mr. Titus, welcome to Malfoy Manor.”

His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, but the enthusiasm and joy on his face could not be stopped.

He found that old Malfoy really knew how to behave. His tone of voice, movements, and even the subtle expressions on his face seemed to be carefully designed to make visitors feel like spring breeze.

“What a pity! You don’t know how to educate your son.” Ian thought to himself.

As the saying goes, don’t hit someone with a smiling face. Faced with such a situation, he also had a smile on his face. “Good morning, Mr. Malfoy. I will never break my promise.”

After entering the manor, Ian found that he had underestimated the luxury of the Malfoy family. Even the ordinary lawn was all moongrass, a magical plant that emits a little bit of fluorescence at night. Glass Pharmacy sells it for two cents a handful. .

…

After sitting down in the living room, he looked at Old Malfoy with interest, wondering in what form he would start.

“Welcome again, Mr. Titus. This invitation is to seek your help.” After the old Malfoy finished speaking, he put on an expression of hatred for steel.

“Draco’s test scores last semester make me feel ashamed. Even though the Malfoy family has a large collection of books, some of which are even unique books that are not included in the Hogwarts Metropolitan Library, this child seems to be born with an inability to learn.”

Having said this, Old Malfoy noticed that there was no displeasure or impatient expression on Ian’s face. After calming down, he continued:

“After I learned that your grades last semester were the first in the whole grade, and it even took you only one year to master all the subjects from grades 1 to 3. Therefore, I took the liberty to send out an invitation, hoping that you can teach ethics. How will Deco learn?”

Looking at Malfoy’s sad old father expression, Ian smiled silently.

At first, he thought that the other party might use Garonne and Diagon Alley shops as entry points. Unexpectedly, it started with family ties. While praising himself without leaving any trace, he also clearly stated the Malfoy family’s book collection and the unique books that Hogwarts did not have.

I have to say that the other party has really put in the effort. If Old Malfoy only offered two things in advance, he would have refused without even thinking. But… the solitary magic book is really tempting, especially after the changes in the apocalypse, he now urgently needs to increase his strength.

Thinking of this, Ian pondered for a moment and then said leisurely: “As far as I know, my junior’s performance in Potions class is quite remarkable.”

Old Malfoy breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He was now afraid that Ian wouldn’t answer. The strategy he had originally planned for the Garleons and Diagon Alley shops was like a joke.

Especially after he witnessed what the other party did in the Ministry of Magic, this was no longer something that could be described by potential and talent, because the other party had already replaced this potential and talent with strong strength.

He is not even sure that even if that person is resurrected, he may not have the strength to defeat him. For such an existence, Garen was indeed a joke, but fortunately the opponent was Ravenclaw, not Slytherin, which gave him today’s opening.

“But potions are not all about magic, especially Draco’s performance in magic. If this continues, I’m not even sure if he can pass the O.W.L.s exam in fifth grade.”

At this moment, Malfoy’s expression really looked like that of an old father who was worried about his son’s studies.

In fact, Ian didn’t know that the old Malfoy was also 30% true and 70% false at this time. Especially when Draco got the report card back, he realized that his child was really a little crooked.

“Okay, I promise you. Who can refuse a father who is worried about his child’s future? However, I need to see your collection of books first so that I can easily formulate a study plan for him.”

After much hesitation, Ian decided to accept the favor. As for the so-called study plan, it is just to fool people, and I think the old Malfoy also knows it. With their family’s energy, any teacher they couldn’t find, even Snape, would probably be invited.

Ian’s answer made Old Malfoy overjoyed. He is not afraid of any sacrifice, even if the other party asks for his manor; he is only afraid that if he offers the benefits, he will be greeted with disdain.

The Dark Mark on his left arm always reminded him of one thing, letting him know that the person was not completely dead.

Unlike the others, he had consulted the family library early on in order to evade Ministry of Magic scrutiny. This kind of oath-type magic should have dissipated long ago after the death of the initiator, instead of remaining like this for more than ten years, although the mark is now so faded that it is almost invisible.

Everything he is doing now is to arrange a layer of insurance for his family. His wife and son are his only bottom line. For his family, he is willing to pay no matter what, even if it is his life.

…

After the initial agreement was reached, the atmosphere became somewhat relaxed. Especially with the intervention of the other party’s wife, Narcissa, the meeting became more harmonious. Sometimes when men communicate, a woman usually needs to be present to enhance the atmosphere.

After finishing the chat, at the invitation of Old Malfoy, Ian came to the so-called secret room with him. The entrance is hidden under the carpet in the study on the first floor. You go through a dark and narrow staircase and come to a wooden door. If anyone underestimates the defensive nature of this door, he will definitely pay a heavy price.

A wooden door less than two meters high, with thousands of mysterious runes carved on it. Some of them are ancient runes that Ian can recognize, including ancient Hebrew and ancient Greek, but most of them are strange symbols, like ancient Egyptian cuneiform.

The most important thing is the black magic contained above. The cursed magic permeates this underground staircase.

Ian was lucky to have someone to lead the way, otherwise the black magic on the door, although not enough to pose a fatal threat to him, would at least cause serious injury or even permanent damage.

Old Malfoy first pricked his finger with a needle, and then let blood drip on the doorknob. After waiting for about ten seconds, the wooden door opened automatically with a soft sound.

The room is not big, only about a hundred square meters by visual inspection, but it is filled with a large number of ancient books and long-shuttered scrolls, and the walls are also covered with all kinds of strange portraits.

“This is it. Don’t worry, this is just a place to store books. Nothing strange will appear.” Old Malfoy explained.

In fact, he didn’t need to explain. Ian felt it right after he came in. Apart from the malice inherent in some black magic books, there was no magic like curses here.

PS there will be another one later, it won’t be too long.
