Marvel: I, Hermione, am from Hogwarts!

Even Lucius's expression softened considerably.

After a while, Draco slowly woke up.

"Mom, what's wrong with me?"

He had just woken up to find a group of people gathered around his bed, and asked groggily.

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly saw Hermione behind Lucius with a half-smile.

"what--!"

Draco's eyes widened suddenly, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and the next second he fainted again.

Before losing consciousness, the last thought was:

I woke up suddenly, and there was Hermione causing a ruckus at home.

They must not be fully awake yet.

Narcissa was terrified: "What...what's going on?"

"Perhaps he was frightened by Mr. Lucius's expression."

Hermione shrugged, her tone innocent.

"I bet this kid got beaten a lot when he was little. Look, after he got into trouble, he was trembling with fear whenever he saw his dad's dark face."

Upon hearing this, Narcissa immediately flew into a rage:

"Lucius!"

She glared at Lucius with a look that seemed to want to devour him alive.

"Mr. Lucius, please go out first!"

Hermione spoke up at the right moment, getting Lucius out of the predicament.

“Mrs. Narcissa, please take care of Draco. Mr. Lucius and I will go out to discuss business.”

Narcissa nodded and said nothing more.

The two returned to the living room.

Hermione looked at Lucius, her tone meaningful:

"It seems Mr. Lucius is usually too harsh on Draco."

Lucius, recalling his son's terrified expression, also fell silent.

Was he really too harsh on Draco?

Coming to his senses, he looked at Hermione, opened his mouth, and seemed to be going through a huge internal struggle.

After holding it in for a long time, he finally managed to utter a sentence:

"Thank you."

It's not easy to get Lucius to say those two words... Hermione thought to herself.

It seems that although Martin's parenting style is strict, he is still Draco's biological son and the only heir of the family, so he still feels sorry for Draco.

Lucius quickly regained his composure and returned to his usual arrogance, but after what had just happened, his attitude was noticeably better.

"Speak, what kind of deal do you two want to discuss?"

Chapter 115 Lucius, please sit down.

"Oh right, I almost forgot to tell Mr. Lucius."

Hermione seemed to suddenly remember something and said with a smile, "Professor Lockhart will be stepping down at the end of this school year. He plans to go to the Ministry of Magic."

Lucius raised an eyebrow, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and didn't reply.

But in his heart, he was wondering what this flamboyant guy was up to now.

"That's wonderful, Professor Lockhart. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors." He put down his teacup, his tone polite. "But what does this have to do with me?"

"Professor Lockhart intends to join the Division of Legal Enforcement, starting as an Auror."

Hermione paused:

"As you know, an Auror needs to have some outstanding achievements to get promoted, but those dark wizards are all like ground rats, hiding their true colors better than anyone else."

“So…” Hermione deliberately drew out her words, “we need someone who frequently deals with those dark wizards… um… to provide some information, or, to simply lure them out.”

Lucius understood Hermione's implied meaning, and his face instantly darkened.

“Miss Granger, you have the wrong person.”

Lucius said coldly, "I don't know any dark wizards. You should go find those information brokers."

"Oh dear, Mr. Lucius, what you're saying..."

Hermione sighed dramatically, her voice low: "I've heard someone say that Voldemort's Death Eaters are all virtuous and good people..."

"Shut up!"

Lucius's vision went black, and he slammed his hand on the table, making the teacup jump.

“Miss Granger, I’ll say it again, I have absolutely no connection with dark wizards or Death Eaters!”

Lucius's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Don't even think about trying anything funny with me!"

“Mr. Lucius, we are all sensible people. We all know your past status.”

Hermione looked at Lucius, who was stubbornly resisting to the end, with a hint of amusement in her voice.

“If you still insist that you have nothing to do with dark wizards, then Professor Lockhart and I will have no choice but to continue to ‘spread the word’ for you outside.”

Lucius's forehead veins throbbed, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

That same phrase almost got him killed last time, and now he's doing it again?!

You've got an addiction to blaming others, haven't you?

Hermione changed the subject, her tone softening: "However, if you are willing to cooperate with me, Professor Lockhart can testify on Draco's behalf."

"This proves that he was indeed controlled by Voldemort's Horcruxes, which is why he did those things."

"This way, you can explain things to the Ministry of Magic. Why not?"

"Or... are you still loyal to someone, willing to risk your son's death rather than betray your Death Eater colleagues..."

Lucius was seething with hatred.

"You're threatening me?!"

Looking at Lockhart, who remained calm and indifferent to Hermione's actions, Lucius finally understood that these two were not there to make a deal, but were simply using Draco to threaten him!

The goal was to get him to help Lockhart gain merits at the Ministry of Magic.

Hermione shook her head: "If that's what you think, there's nothing I can do. I... never mind, I'm just threatening you, so what?"

She couldn't be bothered to be polite anymore.

Mr. Lucius, you don't want Draco either...

Lucius was completely taken aback by Hermione's words.

Why isn't this girl playing by the rules?

According to standard procedure, shouldn't she first say, "This is not a threat, I'm just telling you a fact," and then he considers whether to agree or not?

Why did you just admit it like that?!

Lockhart, standing nearby, was also astonished.

Seeing her no longer acting, he realized that Hermione had actually been quite kind to him before, even pretending to give him two options, which were obviously bad, but at least her words and actions were like those of a civilized person.

Now, she's even too lazy to maintain a semblance of civility.

Leaving school means you've completely let loose and are showing your witch-like nature, right?

Hermione shrugged.

She just felt that fast-forwarding to the last step would be more efficient, since the essence of the problem was the same: a threat.

Lucius snapped out of his daze and was enraged by Hermione's threatening words. He was about to explode when Hermione suddenly stood up and walked up to him.

She leaned down and whispered in Lucius's ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Don't think I don't know how that diary ended up in Ginny Weasley's hands."

Lucius's pupils contracted sharply, and his whole body trembled.

He suddenly realized that since Hermione already knew the diary was in Ginny's hands, and that he had given it to the Weasley girl, then why was Draco inexplicably labeled the heir to the Chamber of Secrets?

It's likely that everything that happened at Hogwarts was orchestrated by this little girl!

is her!

She framed Draco!

Lucius jumped to his feet, drew his wand, and pointed it at Hermione.

"Whoosh-"

A green light flashed past Lucius's ear.
