Chapter 60 Family Secrets (please read)
"Your grandfather has never heard your great-grandfather talk about the specific details." Lucius tapped his finger on the table, and the house elf immediately stepped forward to refill his tea. "Part of the reason is the operation of the goblins. Therefore, the Malfoy family also promised not to mention Cassandra as much as possible.”
"Does the Malfoy family have to be afraid of those goblins?" Draco looked at his father in disbelief.
"No, Xiao Long." Lucius said in a gentle voice: "If the goblin is not sincere enough, how could the Malfoy family agree to such a request? Furthermore, your grandfather also mentioned it to me. It is said that the Malfoy family agreed to The goblins also followed the trend. In fact, the real reason was that Cassandra stole the Merlin secret treasure passed down by the family, so your great-great-grandfather was furious and removed her from the Malfoy family tree."

"Why?" Draco asked in confusion: "Why did she do this? Then where is her person now?"
"I don't know, I just heard that during that time she was haunted and talking about that bad thing every day... Since then, she has disappeared." Lucius reached out and picked up the teacup, "But your great-grandfather left something behind before he died. Last words, if Cassandra is found, we must let her return to the Malfoy family... Ha, how is this possible? Maybe she has died long ago."
"Maybe she is still alive? Otherwise, why would great-grandfather say this?" Draco asked hesitantly. He always felt that Cassandra should still be alive in the world.
"That's because Cassandra is his favorite little sister." Lucius said, "People can't always accept the departure of their loved ones."
Draco nodded understandingly.
"Tell me about your classmates." Lucius asked seemingly casually, "Not to mention the Slytherin ones. Let's talk about the prodigy, the kid who defeated the Dark Lord."
After hearing his father's words, Draco began to tell his parents exactly how he met Harry.
When he said he called Hermione a 'Mudblood' on the train, both Lucius and Narcissa looked very ugly.
"Perhaps you should really pay attention to the friends around you, Xiaolong." Lucius said in a low voice: "It is true that we don't like Muggle-born wizards, but a person with a good upbringing will not face people in person. Whoever said this will bring shame to our entire family.”
"Yes, father." Draco apologized quickly: "I was wrong."
He went on to talk about Harry's level of magic, especially his wonderful showdown with Miss Farley.
"That Gemma from the Farley family?" Lucius nodded thoughtfully, "That's a good young man, and his level of magic is not inferior to that of an adult, so you're saying that Harry Potter is Can a first-year student defeat her in a wizard duel?"
(Miss Farley, with a bit of an underworld filter)
"Yes, Father." Draco straightened his back after being glanced at by his father. "I witnessed the duel with my own eyes. Before that, Pott had already killed Marcus Flint and several of his Friend defeated.”
Lucius was silent. He thought for a moment, looked at each other with his wife, and then said to Draco: "I know, maybe you should try to be friends with Pott instead of being blindly hostile. If you keep your eyes open, Some, must have discovered that Miss Farley was probably already in contact with him."
"But, father." Draco frowned and said, "Potter is surrounded by the pure-blood shame of the Weasley family and Mu...Muggles..."
"Draco?" Lucius raised his eyebrows and said in an aria-like tone: "What did I just say?"
"Yes, father." Draco said quickly: "The interests of the Malfoy family come first."
Lucius's brows relaxed, seeing that his son had realized the spirit, he added another sentence.
“At the same time, family comes first.”
……
After Harry and Ron arrived at Granger's house, they were warmly received by their family.
Mr. Granger is also a well-rounded person. Even when he treats his two children, he does not have the arrogance of an adult. His speech and behavior make people feel like spring breeze. During the dinner, Harry and Ron ate a lot. Ron, in particular, was a little reserved at first, but he stopped pretending after dinner started, and now he was slumped in his chair and humming.
"Who wants pudding?" Mrs. Granger asked as she walked into the dining room carrying pudding.
"Unless I undo my belt, dear," Mr. Granger said weakly, leaning back in his chair.
"Mine has been untied." Harry also leaned back in the chair.
It is not easy to eat such delicious food in England.
"When the caramelized potatoes and grilled lamb chops came, I had already pulled it out." Ron lifted his belt feebly and praised with emotion: "Aunt Granger's craftsmanship is really good, better than my mother's. Too much..."
"Okay gentlemen." Mrs. Granger put down the pudding helplessly and said to them: "Why don't you go to the living room first and leave this place to me."
"You mean, stand up?" Mr. Granger looked up and asked.
"I don't think I can stand up." Harry tried to move in his chair, but he failed.
"I'm not wearing a belt," Ron said simply and understandably.

"Men..." Hermione looked at the three men and shook her head helplessly.
With the Granger family's warm hospitality and invitation, Ron and Harry had to stay at their home.
"Anyway, even if you leave, you're still going back to the castle, right?" These were Mr. Granger's exact words.
There was a program playing loudly on the TV. Ron stared at the TV with great interest for a long time. This was his first time coming into contact with such a thing.
"It's such a troubled time these days..." Mr. Granger seemed to be watching the news. "I think I should go to the bank and borrow some rubles and convert them into pounds. What do you think, dear?"
The last sentence was said to Mrs. Granger.
"It's your decision." Mrs. Granger leaned down and kissed Mr. Granger on the face.
"Then it's decided." Mr. Granger turned to Harry and Ron and said, "Young gentlemen, I happen to have to go to the bank tomorrow, and I can take you to... the Leaky Cauldron, do you want to come with me? .”
"Okay, Uncle Granger, thank you," Harry said.
He asked Hermione again: "Hermione, do you want to come together?"
"I won't go." Hermione spread her hands and said, "I still have to prepare Christmas gifts at home. Oh my God... I suddenly remembered that I still have to prepare gifts for the professors. I don't know if the owls can bear it. Come on.”
When Hermione said this, Harry also thought about it.
Yes, what should I give to professors?
