Chapter 528 Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger
"Voldemort is good at bewitching people," Lucius said soothingly, "so it's not your fault."
"I will return the Slytherin locket to you once I am done purifying it."
Lucius seemed to know what was in my mind.
"What? Aurora, how come you are more money-grubber than me?" Draco teased.
"Slytherin locket, not that I want..."
I looked at Harry.
"That's a Slytherin heirloom..."
It is inextricably linked to Harry's past life.
"Aurora, are you asking for me?" My back was wrapped in warmth.
Harry held me tightly in his arms like an octopus.
"Slytherin's locket, after many twists and turns, finally returned to your hands. I am only returning it to its original owner."
"Just like this magic wand finally returned to your hands, our fate has lasted for thousands of years."
He holds my wand.
I actually felt vaguely as if I was being touched by him.
"It was once a part of you... You finally have a connection with the past..."
Harry exclaimed.
Draco and Harry are inextricably linked to my past and present lives.
"Aurora, the Slytherin locket was given to Harry, what about me?"
Draco had a sarcastic look on his face.
I finally developed empathy for the ancient emperors.
It's really hard to be fair.
"That... Voldemort left the notebook to the Malfoy family..."
"Are you kidding me? How could grandpa give me the notebook for safekeeping?" Draco's eyes widened.
It seemed that my "partiality" hurt him deeply.
"Draco, what belongs to Aurora is yours. Why do you need to fight with Harry?"
Lucius' words awakened the dreamer.
Draco's mouth almost reached the sky.
"Look at you, you're such a loser. How come you didn't inherit any of my genes..." Lucius held his forehead with his hand.
"The Ravenclaw diadem, the Hufflepuff gold cup...one day, they will become part of the Malfoy family's collection."
Lucius never hid his intentions from us.
"Cousin, can I use the Slytherin locket as Aurora's betrothal gift?"
Harry suggested.
"You are really good at scheming! You got something for nothing and even got a wife for free!"
Draco's face flushed red.
"Okay, stop messing around... We haven't even started yet..."
"Aurora, time flies. We still have two years to reach marriageable age..."
Draco urged, "You have to make a decision."
"I..." Two tall boys surrounded me.
"Aurora, you must always keep the initiative in your own hands." Lucius reminded.
"Did you also give the right of choice to your mother back then?" I asked curiously.
"Of course not! Dad must have laid the groundwork long ago, just waiting for Mom to fall into the trap..."
Draco mercilessly exposed Lucius's usual tricks.
Lucius smiled indifferently: "The means are not important, as long as the goal is achieved."
Draco looked at him with envy.
"You...when it comes to Aurora, you are not like Malfoy at all...you are as innocent as a fool."
Lucius sighed.
Draco's face changed, and his expression darkened visibly.
I know how much he craves Lucius's approval.
My heart softened.
But that night he expertly proved to me that Lucius was wrong.
I couldn't help but suspect that Draco was actually well versed in the art of playing dumb and taking advantage of my empathy to make me willingly cooperate with him.
