HP in the name of Slytherin

It was destined to be a sleepless night at Malfoy Manor.

Not only here, late at night, almost one o'clock in the morning, Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts and received four extraordinary visitors.

Oh, Catherine is normal.

Lucius Malfoy, who has a tough face... is okay.

Tom Slytherin pursed his lips and snickered... It felt like he had done something "bad" that he had no control over.

So the extraordinary focus is actually on the last person in the visitor.

Dumbledore's excellent memory caused him to lose sleep at this time.

He asked with a dull face: "Who can explain to me, Abraxas Malfoy, why it became like this?"

Abraxas standing next to Tom looked exactly like he did when he first entered school at the age of 11!

Even the hair was cut short!

"I'm sorry, Albus, this matter is too urgent," Catherine clasped her hands together, "Can you sense the Book of Access? Is there a new name in it?"

Dumbledore had an ominous premonition in his heart. He lowered his eyes and sensed that as the principal of Hogwarts, he could "flip through" the admission book that recorded the list of new students at Hogwarts at any time.

I saw an extra line on one of the pages that had just been changed: England, Wiltshire, Malfoy Manor, third floor of Armand Palace...

I can't stand it anymore, I really can't stand it anymore.

But Dumbledore was Dumbledore after all. He quickly adjusted himself to Catherine's thinking mode and guessed the result she wanted: "You want Abraxas to fake his death?"

Use this to get rid of the Death Eaters, and even exonerate the Malfoy family.

After all, as the core of the Death Eaters, Abraxas had done too many illegal things for Voldemort before.

Dumbledore looked deeply at Catherine, and Catherine looked at him calmly. This attitude was self-evident.

If Catherine hadn't brought them here, Lucius wouldn't have dared to run up to Dumbledore so openly. In his imagination, if his father could be healthy and not be tortured, he could hide in Europe or the United States and change. You can also go to the magic school over there to study again when you are young.

He was scared to death when Catherine took him to Hogwarts!

"How old is he now?" Dumbledore asked after a while.

Catherine quietly breathed a sigh of relief and confessed: "13, I remember Christmas at that time."

Dumbledore's old face was as stiff as a stone sculpture. He looked at Catherine and Abraxas somberly that both of them felt a little guilty.

Tom crushed the carpet under his feet, and Herbo also poked his head out of Catherine's hair, looking at his owner and then at his "sugar bag."

After almost a minute, when he realized that Catherine was not going to change and that the 11-year-old Abraxas was already in front of him, Dumbledore suddenly lost his temper and said: "For the last time, Miss Catherine."

Catherine exaggeratedly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around to Dumbledore, patted his back up and down, and assured him: "I'm sure, don't be angry. I think Abraxas still has a certain bottom line. At most, go to Abraxas." After being imprisoned in Zkaban for several years, if he had been in normal condition, he would not have entered Azkaban. Now he is growing up again under your nose, one for him and one for Tom. Isn't it more comforting to think like this?"

Dumbledore rolled his eyes very ungracefully: "Thank you so much for thinking about me."

That being said, the original feeling of being forcibly kidnapped has indeed faded a lot.

Catherine was right. If Abraxas' crimes were extremely heinous, Dumbledore would definitely disagree. But the cunning Mr. Malfoy never got involved in those things. If he really reached an irreparable failure, the most he could do was end up in Azkaban. Two or three years, and as long as there is nothing wrong with his mind, he can be exonerated directly in court.

Now, is this still considered "punished"?

Dumbledore, who had been led away by Catherine unknowingly, thought about this, and then thought about the follow-up arrangements, he really lost his temper, and even looked forward to the day when Voldemort would discover the truth.

Look what Abraxas is called now.

Well, Armand Bourbon... is indeed far away from Abraxas Malfoy, but not particularly far away.

Abraxas's little trick: use his ancestor's name as a classmate with the legendary Catherine Slytherin, and use his wife's surname to continue living in her stead.

Dumbledore was not a troubled person. Since he had agreed, he continued to think along this line of thinking: "If Abraxas dies from serious injuries, many of the Malfoy family's properties will be affected. You all know it, right?"

The two Malfoys nodded one after another.

Not to mention that Armand's current memory is only 13 years old. Even Lucius will be in danger if he leaves Malfoy Manor as the situation in the wizarding world is so chaotic and the Malfoy family has betrayed Voldemort.

"The Malfoy family is more suitable to keep a low profile now. It is better to be divided up a little than to lose everything." Lucius said.

Armand said tentatively: "Although 'I' am a Death Eater, if Voldemort is seriously injured and dies, it would be normal for my son to break away from the Death Eaters."

Otherwise, in the eyes of outsiders, the Malfoy family is simply treacherous, getting benefits and then abandoning the alliance.

"How Abraxas died may not be up to us," Catherine said. "Voldemort found many reporters, and everyone saw that Abraxas was shot beside me. Flying out."

Tom said: "...I think Voldemort himself might not care much. As long as there are enough things going on within the Death Eaters...he might forget about it."

Lucius: "..."

"That's a very cold-blooded thing to say," Dumbledore muttered to Catherine in a low voice.

Catherine smiled: "That's Voldemort, not Tom."

Dumbledore shrugged: "That's what I mean. Tom is still a good boy so far. You have to take good care of him."

Catherine continued to smile: "So are you, Professor."

"School is not a substitute for family."

“Kids are in school longer.”

Catherine & Dumbledore: looking at each other and smiling.

Armand, who was originally nervous, couldn't help laughing when he heard the somewhat funny conversation between Catherine and Dumbledore.

He pulled Tom and whispered: "That's great Tom, we can go to school again and grow up together again!"

When he smiled, it was as if the stars were hiding in his eyes.

Tom suddenly remembered why Voldemort accepted Abraxas when he was a child. Apart from his family background, it was because of his innocence and cheerfulness that were inconsistent with his family background.

Voldemort thought this was pure stupidity.

Tom felt it was very precious and beautiful.

He held Armand's hand back and said seriously: "Well, it's really great!"

He could truly be Tom Slytherin, living with Catherine and growing up with Abraxas.

That's great.

Dumbledore coughed lightly and said seriously: "I'm serious, Catherine, don't let it happen again."

"I know." Catherine assured seriously.

Dumbledore's main concern now is actually not Catherine's fanciful plan.

He said cryptically: "The situation now is different from a thousand years ago. Even if you have Apep's protection, it is better to use forbidden magic less."

The magic world was so prosperous thousands of years ago, and there were many restrictions on forbidden magic. As the daughter of the forbidden magic master Salazar, Catherine herself should be very aware.

She can now use forbidden magic so smoothly, not only because Tom and Abraxas meet the magic requirements, but also because she, "Apepp", is the main caster.

But this is forbidden magic after all.

"I know," Catherine said seriously, "The price is mainly borne by himself. I will try my best not to use forbidden magic in the future."

"Well... you all know better." Dumbledore looked at Armand carefully again, but the magic in his eyes was very restrained.

Genius wizards always like to study magic.

But you should also know that you can continue to explore what magic is, and what magic... and people and things should be respected.

While Catherine and the others were in harmony and were returning to Malfoy Manor to rest peacefully, the Black family and four children on the other side were experiencing an escape.
