HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Life at Malfoy Manor was beautiful and warm. Narcissa doted on Gloria and made all kinds of delicious desserts every day. Lucius often talked about the outside world in front of them, mostly about the banquets.

They got along naturally and harmoniously, as if they had been a family for a long time.

As for the dresses for the two of them, since Gloria and the Malfoy family were both shareholders of the Tofan Clothing Store, they found the best team of designers there. The raw materials provided by Gloria were quickly made into cloth and designed into exquisite dresses.

Draco's birthday party was scheduled for July 7th, and Gloria did not forget about the important things. The day before the party, Lucius finally decided to take a day off to replenish his energy for tomorrow's party.

She took this opportunity to get down to business.

Lucius' office was on a high floor, and Draco and Narcissa rarely came up. When they opened the door, they saw a man with long blond hair sitting at his desk signing parchment documents. When he heard the voice and looked up and saw it was him, his expression changed. "It's Gloria, what's going on?"

Gloria looked around, "Nothing, let me tell you something important."

Lucius put down his quill and rested his arms on the table. "What is it?"

"Principal Dumbledore said that you were the one who gave the diary to Ginny Weasley." Gloria narrated calmly.

"It's me." Lucius didn't quite understand why she asked this question, "The heir of the Slytherin family shouldn't be disgusted by the dark arts."

"Do you know what that is?" Gloria said, "Or did Voldemort mention anything in particular when he handed it to you?"

When he heard Voldemort's name, the usually elegant Lucius froze, and it was obvious that he was afraid of the Dark Lord.

"I didn't..."

"Aren't you wondering why Headmaster Dumbledore and I are sure that it's Voldemort's thing?" Gloria mentioned Voldemort again, successfully making Lucius' face paler. "How is Mr. Malfoy's brain blocking technique?"

"What exactly do you want to say?" Lucius had a bad feeling.

"Have you heard of Horcruxes?" Gloria turned her back to him, looking at the Malfoy family crest hanging on the wall. When she didn't hear his answer, she explained kindly, "A Horcrux is a split soul, with part of it hidden in an object. As long as the Horcrux is not destroyed, the person who made it will not die."

Lucius clenched his trembling hands, as if his heart was also being grasped by them.

Gloria turned around. "But I am sure Voldemort did not use the Horcrux. Otherwise, he would have been resurrected in more than ten years. He is now half dead." Her eyes fell on the nervous Lucius. "Your actions caused Voldemort to lose a Horcrux. When he makes a comeback and finds out about this, what will he do to you, or how will he punish your family?"

Lucius stood up suddenly and looked at Gloria no longer as a naive child. At this moment he understood that the girl in front of him was the heir of the Slytherin family.

"You came here just to tell me what kind of punishment you will face in the future?"

"Of course not." Gloria frowned and shook her head. "I love Draco and I also like Narcissa. How could I let them suffer under Voldemort? This time I came mainly to ask you to make a choice. When he returns, will you continue to be a masked Death Eater, or stand with the Slytherin family?"

She said while looking at Lucius's left arm.

"Your father was also a Death Eater, yet you do not approve of the Dark Lord."

Gloria chuckled. "My father was indeed a Death Eater, but he was the first person to discover that Voldemort was making Horcruxes, and he chose to sacrifice his life to destroy them. It's a pity that this cannot be clarified immediately, but when the time is right, everyone will know the truth. To be honest, I didn't take that half-blood seriously at all. If it weren't for my father's actions, I wouldn't have joined this war that hasn't even begun."

Lucius' lips trembled. She actually called out the most taboo fact - the fact that she was a mixed-blood.

"You haven't seen him at all. He... is very dark and scary." It was not easy for him to express his fear of Voldemort in front of a twelve-year-old girl.

"I can't kill him with my current strength, but that doesn't mean he can hurt me. I'm a Slytherin." Gloria said, "If you really decide to continue being a Death Eater, I won't stop you, but I will take Draco and Narcissa away and establish a new Malfoy family. In fact, you know that Voldemort only regards the pure-blood families he follows as stepping stones to eternal life and cruel rule. If one is broken, he will just replace it with another."

Lucius was silent for a while before he said, "I'll think about it."

"Very good." Gloria said: "If you are considering not following me anymore, I suggest you make preparations as soon as possible, such as the safety of the manor and the property. After all, the Malfoy family is wealthy enough, and they are money bags in his eyes, so he will definitely look for you."

"If we stand on the side of the Slytherin family, can we guarantee the safety of Draco and Narcissa?"

Gloria looked at him for a while. During the last wizard war, the Malfoy family completely followed Voldemort, but there was no Dark Mark on Narcissa's arm. It was Lucius who kept all the darkness out and prevented his wife from being contaminated by it.

"Of course, the entire Malfoy family will be protected, just like Slytherin Manor."

Lucius showed a satisfied smile. The mysterious manor of Slytherin had not been discovered for nearly a thousand years. There was no safer place in the world than that. "Why not? The Malfoy family has respected Slytherin for generations. Your decision is the decision of the Malfoy family."

Gloria admired his quick decision, but still said, "If you're still unsure, you can ask Draco what happened in the Slytherin common room before you left school."

After everyone had left for a while, Lucius called the house-elf and asked him to notify Draco to come here.

"Father?" Draco was looking for Gloria, but his father suddenly asked him to come over.

Lucius stood up and walked over to his son, placing his hand on his shoulder, "Draco, Gloria asked you to tell me what happened in the Slytherin common room before the summer break?"

When Draco mentioned the lounge, his expression was a little awkward. "Did she let me tell you?"

"Of course, otherwise how would I know the news."

Draco recounted in detail everything that had happened in the lounge, the appearance of the three snakes, what Gloria had said to each one, and why Goss from the Avery family had fallen to the ground in pain. Besides him, no one else could have spoken or written about this incident.

"But Avery deserved it. He said Lori was an imposter in front of all the Slytherin students. Lori said he was just a good way to gain authority over him."

Lucius clenched and unclenched his hands at his side, and he became more confident in the strength of the Slytherin family. From what Draco said, the three snakes were much more powerful than the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets. No wonder Gloria said that Voldemort could not hurt her.

"Draco, you are the best generation of our Malfoy family. You have received the love of the Slytherin heir. I know you love her more. Pure-blood families rarely have such loving unions. Your mother and I are in a very rare situation. As a father, I hope that the happiness I have received will continue in you. When your birthday party is held, I will pass the family ring to you."

Wearing the family ring not only symbolizes the identity of the designated heir, but also means that he can represent part of the Malfoy family's direction and influence family decisions.

The usually proud boy said solemnly, "Father, I won't let you and mother down."
