HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Gloria arrived at Malfoy Manor two days before Harry's transfer.

Lucius took her advice and quit his job at the Ministry of Magic.

When she arrived, Draco was standing in the garden of the manor, looking out.

Gloria walked over to him, "I met with Narcissa, she said you've been practicing your spells, don't forget to rest while you're working hard."

"I'm just worried." He looked at Gloria. "How's school going?"

"The Ministry of Magic needs to discuss it, but I think we can come up with a conclusion by August at the latest." She said, "It's just that this year's book list will be sent later."

"Then..." He hesitated, "Is the You-Know-Who really going to attack the Ministry of Magic?"

That's the Ministry of Magic, it wasn't captured during the last wizarding war.

"Of course," said Gloria. "There's no Dumbledore to stop him now."

Draco had not yet recovered from the shock of Dumbledore's death. Not only him, but even his parents asked him in detail about what happened that day after he came back.

"Look—" He pointed at the shadows walking outside the manor. Because of the Fidelius Charm, only blurry figures could be seen inside. "Recently, the number of Death Eaters looking for the manor has increased every day. I even want to send my father and mother abroad."

"Why not go abroad?" Gloria suggested seriously, "Grindelwald has been busy lately, and the Magical Alliance's affairs have been put on hold for the time being. Why not let Lucius go? He's going to join anyway."

"Is it okay?" It would be best if my parents could leave the UK.

"When the time comes, go to Germany with Grindelwald first." Gloria leaned on him, "Then you go to live in Slytherin Manor. I'll have a surprise for you when you get there."

In this situation, what surprises can there be?

"What is it?"

Gloria smiled mysteriously, "I won't tell you now."

Lucius and Narcissa certainly wanted to leave England, but they were also worried about Draco's safety, so when they knew they could live in Slytherin Manor, they packed their bags and left immediately.

Draco arrived at the manor the next day, with two elves packing his luggage.

Gloria took Draco's hand and went upstairs.

"See the surprise?" He remembered it.

Gloria nodded. "Don't be too surprised later. Remember to keep it a secret."

When she reached the door, she knocked a few times.

"Come in."

Draco's pupils constricted. This voice...

"Principal, my fiancé is living here recently. I don't think there's any need to hide from you. I've also told him to keep it a secret."

Looking at the living Headmaster Dumbledore in front of him, Draco even forgot to speak.

"Don't worry, I'm not dead." Dumbledore smiled kindly and put the newspaper aside. "Draco, I hope you can keep this secret until I show up."

Draco nodded blankly, "Okay."

Although he didn't know what happened, the fact that Dumbledore was alive relieved most of his worries.

He couldn't help but ask, "Are Lori and I the only ones who know?"

"And Grindelwald," Gloria said, "I asked him to bring the headmaster to Slytherin Manor, thanks to his superb Transfiguration spell."

Draco was surprised: "Only the three of us know?"

"Yes." She nodded, "So it must be kept secret."

Dare to tell Draco that his feelings towards Dumbledore were not as deep as Harry and the others, so it was not surprising that he did not feel sad about it. Besides, Draco never broke his promise when she asked for something.

Draco looked at the old man at this point and said, "Principal Dumbledore, it's really nice to see you again."

Dumbledore smiled with relief. This boy, who was once Harry's mortal enemy, had slowly transformed into what he is today over the years.

The principal was going to rest again, so the two left the room and on the way to the office, Gloria told him what happened that night.

"There are many things that need to be resolved now. Professor Bubbage claimed to resign, and we all guessed that she has been arrested." Gloria was helpless when she mentioned this teacher. "Although I wrote a letter to remind her, the Death Eaters have targeted her. The Ministry of Magic is short of staff at this time, so it is impossible to send Aurors to protect her."

At such a critical moment, writing such a report is really eye-catching.

"Her article about wizards accepting Muggles and even encouraging them to marry Muggles makes me unhappy even if I read it, let alone the Death Eaters."

Gloria just felt that Dumbledore was gone, and the Death Eaters were a group of pure-blood wizard supremacists, so it was too impulsive to write such an article at this juncture.

"My letter suggested that she went to Diagon Alley, and perhaps did not get there in time, or was discovered by someone within the Ministry who was loyal to Voldemort while using the fireplace."

It is for this reason that the Order of the Phoenix did not dare to allow Harry to use the fireplace or Apparate.

Harry was not an adult on the day of the transfer and had trace threads on his body. Apparition was a magic used by a minor and he was easy to be tracked. He had no choice but to transfer on a broom.

"Has the Ministry of Magic been infiltrated so thoroughly?" Draco was surprised by this.

Dumbledore had only been 'dead' for about a month, and the Ministry of Magic was infiltrated like a sieve.

"It's not that serious." Gloria said, "At least we have people here who are quietly keeping an eye on the situation. Of course, they are pretending to be under the Imperius Curse."

"The Imperius Curse..." Draco inexplicably remembered his father's excuse for escaping trial, "Why were they able to resist the Imperius Curse?"

Even if a few of them can block it, it is impossible for all the insiders to do so.

"Because of Gornia." Gloria patted her pockets. "The insiders can't betray me. This is a hint. The influence of the hint makes them uncontrollable by the Imperius Curse."

"Oh, right." She grabbed Draco's hand. "On the night of the 27th, I will work with the Order of the Phoenix to help Harry move. Someone in the Ministry of Magic will help Voldemort keep an eye on him. Neither the fireplace nor the Apparition can be used as a means of transfer."

Draco thought of Trace. He and Gloria were already adults and didn't have this kind of trouble. "Can't we wait until we're adults?"

"No." She said, "The Death Eaters are watching the moment when his protective magic will fail when he reaches adulthood, so the time is moved up. Hagrid wanted to participate, but I took his place. He won't last long after drinking Polyjuice Potion in that condition, so it's better for me to do it."

With Hagrid's huge body, how much Polyjuice Potion would he have to drink to successfully transform into Harry's appearance?

"Can I go help?" he asked.

"No need." Gloria hugged him, resting her head on his chest, listening to the sound of his heartbeat, "We can handle it. The members of the Order of the Phoenix escorting Harry are all very powerful."

"Why not let them transfer through here? The portkey you used cannot be detected by the Ministry of Magic." Draco asked anyway.

"Of course they would if Dumbledore were still around."

Gloria knew that some members of the Order of the Phoenix did not completely trust her, and as Harry's safety was at stake, they would rather carry out the transfer themselves.

"Besides...never mind. I'll help anyway."

Besides, this is also an opportunity for Snape to deepen his trust, so how could it be cancelled easily?

Now it depends on whether the participants are lucky enough to escape the Death Eaters' pursuit.
