Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 278 Finding Clues

It seems that Lucius didn't associate himself with the Golden Viper. He found his purpose and hoped that he could help find the Golden Viper. But why didn't Lucius go to Kacus Foley? ?
Even if the Foley family is defeated, they are still one of the 28 sacred pure-blood families just like the Malfoy family. These ancient families with a long history, except for the extreme example of the Weasley family, most of them are Keeping inextricably linked, logically speaking, Lucius' best choice should be to go to Kakus.

Moreover, Gold Viper and Kacus had a good personal relationship. This was no secret in the underground world. After inquiring about Gold Viper for so long, if Lucius Malfoy didn't even know about this, he would be too incompetent.

This is indeed a question, Amostar thought quietly.

Oh. Got it.
It didn't take long for Amostar to penetrate the joint.

In order to fear that the Golden Viper would run away upon hearing the news, Greyback forbade Lucius Malfoy to inquire with great fanfare, and if he went to Kacus to inquire about the identity of the Golden Viper, it was very likely that the information would be leaked and the Golden Viper would be alerted.

hum-
Amostar smiled mockingly in his heart, but Greyback was quite confident.

"Okay, Mr. Malfoy, I've figured out why you're here."

After a long silence, Amosta finally spoke, but what he said chilled Lucius who was anxiously waiting for a response.

"Now, you can leave my office."

"Mr. Blaine!"

Lucius' face was ugly, he stood up from the stool in a snap, eager to say something, but Amosta raised his hand to stop him,

"Get out of my office--"

Amostar repeated again in an undeniable tone.

Lucius showed disappointment visible to the naked eye. He turned his brain desperately, hoping to come up with some way to change Amosta Bryan's heart, but when he glanced at the calm expression and calm expression of the old wizard on the other side of the desk, When he looked surprised, he froze for a moment, and then, the disappointed expression disappeared, and he showed a little joy instead.

How could I become so dull!
Lucius Malfoy blamed himself, Amosta Brayne would not grant any of his requests, of course.

"Well, it's a pity that we couldn't reach a cooperation."

Lucius exhaled lightly, and nodded gratefully at Amosta,

"I'm leaving now."

After saying this, Lucius Malfoy turned around and left the office without delay.

Not hopelessly stupid.

Amosta smiled inwardly, he withdrew his gaze from the door, and stared with interest at the twenty egg-sized rubies that seemed to be forgotten by the original owner on his desk.

"What's going on, Amostar?"

After being dispelled, Sirius, who was full of questions, couldn't wait to ask,
"You obviously rejected Malfoy's request for help, but why does he look like he has succeeded, and" Sirius glanced at the valuable gemstone in disgust, "Lucius Malfoy has been so generous to this It’s getting to the point where you just treat a gem worth more than 1 Galleons as a gift for visiting you?”

It is reasonable for Sirius to be dull in this regard, and his question did not exceed Amosta's expectations,
"There's no way I'm going to make a deal with Lucius Malfoy, no matter what it is, you understand, Sirius?"

Sirius frowned, trying to think hard, and after a moment, he hesitated and nodded.

Indeed, no matter what it is, once Amosta agrees to it, it is tantamount to giving up the truth. A cunning wizard like Malfoy may use this as an excuse to threaten at any time, although , he may not have the guts, but this is a handle after all.

"Then Malfoy's last attitude?"

"And as the director of the Hogwarts Student Safety Office, some dark creatures living in the gutter are trying to use the safety of the students in the school to force their parents to do something against their will. Is it natural to take the initiative?"

Amosta smiled happily, and put the gems one by one into his storage bag.

"Oh, you cunning Slytherins!"

Sirius rolled his eyes,

"So you're going to help Malfoy deal with Greyback?"

Humph--
After clearing away the gems on the table, Amosta snorted coldly, pinched the scorched paw left by Lucius with his fingers, put it in front of his eyes, and admired it quietly, the cold light in his pupils made Sirius burst chills.

"Speaking of—"

After a long while without getting a response from Amosta, Sirius asked another doubt,
"Gold Viper is the name you used when you were active in the underground world of Knockturn Alley. I don't think Lucius Malfoy knows this at all. But why did he find you?"

"That's a long story, but in a nutshell—"

Amosta said lazily,
"Lucius Malfoy's contacts in the underground world are not as influential as he is in the Ministry of Magic. Because of some previous incidents, he guessed that I might often be active in the underground world. me."

There are still many things that Sirius is curious about. For example, what kind of person is the Golden Viper in the underground world? How did Amostar and Remus meet.
Judging from the tone of what Remus said earlier, it seems that it is also inseparable from the identity of the Golden Viper.

Sirius hoped to bring these questions to his mouth, but at this time, someone knocked on the office door again at an untimely time. From Amosta's expression, he knew that the person knocking on the door was not Remus.

"This is really troublesome!"

Sirius waited impatiently for Amostar to transform him into a cat,

"Staying in your office all day as a cat is driving me crazy, I'd rather walk around the playground and the Forbidden Forest in my own Animagus form."

"I'm not stopping you from doing-"

Amosta's wand was tapped lightly, and Sirius became Lenny again in the blink of an eye under the wrapping of a swaying curse light.

"Just don't get me in trouble."

"Where's Lucius?"

The office door opened, and Professor Snape strode in, followed by Draco Malfoy with a displeased expression.

"It's been a while since he left, didn't he say hello to you?"

"I'm going to talk to him about Draco again!"

Professor Snape said with a sullen face, he moved half a step away, exposing Draco to Amostar's sight,
"I don't understand why a small setback should keep you depressed for so long, but now that he's gone—"

Snape squinted at Amosta in displeasure, because it was because of his excruciating practice class punishment that Draco got into this negative look,

"You might as well talk to Professor Blaine about your thoughts."

"I have nothing to say." Draco said dryly.

To actually have the guts to speak with such an attitude in front of him, is this still Draco Malfoy? Did that insignificant blow really have such a big impact on him?

Amosta frowned imperceptibly, he stared at Draco who lowered his head and stared at his toes, vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"nothing to say?"

Draco's reply also surprised and angered Professor Snape, his jaw raised and his eyes became dangerous, but just as he was about to say something, Amosta suddenly spoke first,

"Keep your head up, Draco."

Amostar's voice was full of irrefutable, and hearing him say that, both Snape and Lenny, who was not very interested in this scene, looked at him in confusion.

"Look at me, Draco."

Amostar said sharply, and under his stern order, Draco's body swayed like a willow blowing in a strong wind, his already pale face became even paler, and there was a visible ooze on his forehead. Sweat, he seemed very reluctant to do so, but under Professor Brian's order, he couldn't refuse, otherwise, it would look too suspicious.

The moment his eyes met, Amosta's heart skipped a beat. From Draco's eyes, he noticed another fleeting 'figure'.
