: Lucius Malfoy Disappears
Chapter 540: Lucius Malfoy Disappears
"Bad weather, isn't it?" Michael complained as he walked into the compartment, soaked in water. "I remember it was the same when I encountered the Dementors."
He stood in the open space between the seats, his hair dripping with water. The ground under his feet quickly became wet, and even the suitcase next to him was covered with rain and mud.
"Don't mention it. I never want to recall those monsters." said Theo who followed behind.
Wade drew out his wand and pointed it at Michael: "A warm breeze."
A soft, warm breeze blew out from the tip of the wand, swirling around Michael, his robes fluttering and a fine mist coming out of his body. Soon his whole body was dry, and even his robes were smooth and tidy.
"Wow..." Michael spread his arms and looked at himself, then shook his sleeves and said again: "Wow~"
"Wow what?"
Ryan, who was walking at the back, saw that they had caused a traffic jam, so he reached out and pushed the two people in front of him into the box. Before the students behind him could curiously peek inside, he had already closed the door and drawn the curtain.
"Look, my clothes are all dry!" Michael showed them the effect of the spell: "My dad doesn't even know how to cast a spell like this!"
"What kind of spell is this?" Theo asked curiously, "Wade, did you create this yourself?"
"Well, it's a modified spell based on the fire spell, imitating the Muggle dryer." Wade pointed at Michael's box again, and drew a small spiral with his wand: "Ventus Calidus! [Warm Breeze]"
A gust of warm breeze blew by, and the water stains on the box and the ground dried quickly.
Michael stretched out his hand, letting the warm air brush over his fingers, and said, "It seems to be a little warmer than before."
"You can control the temperature and wind speed to avoid burns or clothes being blown away," Wade explained.
Michael's eyes lit up: "That means we can also make the wind stronger..."
Before he could finish his words, Theo covered his mouth with his hand and he swallowed the rest of his words.
Ryan shook his head and sighed, "It's only been a few days since we last met, Michael, and you seem to have become more wretched."
Michael rolled his eyes, pulled Theo's hand down, and said, "I just want to say that if the wind gets stronger, it can lift people off the ground like a balloon. How can it be obscene?"
Ryan: “…Ah?”
Theo believed it and said ashamedly, "So that's what you wanted to say. I thought..."
"Huh?" Michael pretended to have just realized something and raised his eyebrows. "Do you think I would say that it can blow up a girl's skirt? Tsk tsk tsk... obscene, really too obscene! To have such an idea shows that your thoughts are really too impure!"
Theo and Ryan: "..."
They looked at Michael sitting with his legs crossed and leaning against the window, clicking their tongues and criticizing him righteously, and they always felt that something was wrong.
Vader couldn't help but laugh.
After laughing and joking for a while, the few of them put away their suitcases. Theo looked at the empty space on the luggage rack and asked curiously, "Wade, where is your suitcase?"
"Of course it's in his closet!" Michael said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wade slapped his head with the book in his hand.
"What's wrong?" Ryan asked hurriedly.
"I forgot..." Wade whispered in annoyance, "When I packed my luggage, I was going to put it in the closet in the morning, but when I was in a hurry, I..."
He was making the puppet until midnight before going to bed. Thinking that he had to go to school in the morning, he turned the space in the closet into a pencil case and put it in his pocket, forgetting that the owl cage and the suitcase had not been packed in yet.
In the morning, Wade got up half an hour late. Because of the weather, Ferdinand was worried about traffic jams, so he urged everyone to go out quickly and asked Dobby to deliver everything to school. Wade thought this was more convenient.
When Michael mentioned it, he realized that he had forgotten that he had a more convenient way in the morning. Seeing that Wade would make such a low-level mistake, everyone laughed, and the compartment was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
"Dong dong dong."
There were several knocks on the cubicle door.
"The cart witch is here." Theo opened the door and asked the others, "What do you want to eat?"
"Thank you, I'm not hungry yet." said Harry outside the door.
"Ah?" Theo was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Harry, Hermione and several Weasley family members were crowded in the corridor outside.
"I've been looking for you for a while." Hermione walked in and said, "Luckily a second-year Hufflepuff saw you in this cubicle and heard your voices when he passed by the corridor."
She motioned Ryan to lean back, sat down and looked at Ved across from him, and asked, "Hey, Ved, do you know what's going to happen at school this year?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fred said angrily: "Everyone in my family who doesn't go to school knows about it, but they just hid it from us! Come on, isn't what happens in school closely related to us?"
"Malfoy even came to our box and laughed at us for not knowing anything." Harry added gloomily: "Sirius didn't want to tell me either."
Ron imitated Draco Malfoy in a weird voice: "Your father and your brother both work in the Ministry of Magic, how could you not know... their level is too low... my father is in contact with high-level figures in the Ministry of Magic... he told me a long time ago..."
He snorted in anger and muttered a curse word.
The expressions of the other people were not very good.
Theo sighed, looked at them and said, "Here's some news you may not have heard - Malfoy's father seems to be missing."
Except for Ryan who had heard about it a long time ago, everyone else looked at him in surprise, and Wade's expression also changed slightly.
"Missing?" Harry asked. "What happened?"
Hermione frowned and said, "I didn't see any report about this in the Daily Prophet."
"The Malfoys didn't make it public. My uncle said they were secretly asking someone to find out his whereabouts," said Theo.
"When did he disappear?" Vader asked.
"It was the night of the World Cup," Theo said. "The story goes that there was a riot in the camp and no one had seen him since."
"Something must have happened to him, right? He might have been caught by a crazy leprechaun and thrown off the top of the mountain!" Ron said with fascination, "What a pity! Little Draco has always been proud of his father..."
"Don't be ridiculous, Ron!" Hermione patted him and said, "This is very strange. Maybe something worse has happened..."
"Worse than a leprechaun attack on the camp?" sneered Ron.
"Maybe he's planning something evil in secret," Harry said seriously, "like...trying to make the Death Eaters make a comeback..."
"Maybe he was taken away by someone." George said suggestively: "You know, another group of people showed up that night..."
"Witch Party?" Ryan said.
"Yeah." Fred: "Maybe they were nearby when the riot happened in the camp, and then they encountered the escaped Malfoy... I mean Lucius Malfoy."
"Why did Malfoy run away?" Ryan asked.
"Because if he is caught, he will go to Azkaban!" Fred said with a smile.
