Chapter 743 About Family Affection

"Please... please drink tea..."

The house elf who appeared by the table with the tray was still the same at the beginning, looking a little shy, just put the poured teacup in front of Maca, and immediately stepped aside in a hurry.

Maca was used to seeing all kinds of elves, so he nodded amiably, and then turned his attention to Lucius on the opposite side.

This is a small living room on the second floor of Malfoy Manor. Although it must be much smaller than the main hall downstairs, the decoration is more exquisite and luxurious.

Right now, Maca and Snape were sitting by the window on one side of the small hall. Just by turning their heads slightly, they can enjoy the beautiful view of the garden downstairs facing the gorgeous sunlight outside the window. This is really a good place to drink tea, have snacks and chat.

At least, the warm sunshine and the green everywhere can always bring people a comfortable and good mood.

It's just a pity that the master Lucius still likes this place very much on weekdays, but now his mind is filled with all kinds of bad premonitions, so how can he have the time to enjoy them?

"Mr. Malfoy," Maca asked, taking a sip of the black tea in the cup, savoring the wonderful aroma, "Just now you said...Madam went to McMillan's house today?"

Those words of Snape's earlier paved the way for the following conversation, so that Lucius would not have to bear the big turning point immediately after hearing about his son's situation.

But blindly telling the truth and letting Lucius accept the reality was not Maca's purpose—he didn't come here for some home visits today!

"Ah! Hmm..."

Lucius was holding the teacup with his right hand, while his left hand was holding the armrest of the chair half loosely and half tightly. He didn't seem to have much energy to think about Maca's problem.

Look at his uncomfortable expression, showing his inner wavering everywhere.

"Our Malfoy family... decided to get along with the pure blood that we didn't get along with before... Ah, no no..." He seemed to realize something was wrong, and quickly changed his words, "I mean, we will Make good friends with more wizard families, only in this way..."

The Malfoy family, after the introduction of the "International Statute of Secrecy", immediately stood in the ranks of the supremacy of pure blood, and has always maintained a firm alienation attitude towards other non-pure blood wizard families.

For wizard families like the McMillan family who have no attachment to blood at all, they were unwilling to take a look at them before—even though the background of the McMillan family is no worse than their Malfoy family.

But now, after experiencing a crisis that nearly overturned, the Malfoys have obviously understood many truths that they had previously ignored.

Of course, it is correct to say that it is forced by reality.

"The current choice of the Malfoy family is the right one," Maca looked at Lucius, and said very directly, "Actually, if you want me to say, there is nothing wrong with choosing to be a 'fool', it is also one of the excellent means to fight for interests One. As long as you look at the direction of the wind, you can get the greatest benefit with the least effort, and you don’t have to take the lead in taking risks—”

What he said was talking about Lucius' previous mentality, and he also gave a very positive evaluation. Just this point made Lucius quite confused, so much so that he even temporarily forgot the uneasiness just now.

Seeing his own words immediately caught Lucius' attention,

Maca couldn't help but nodded secretly.

"Unfortunately, you, Lucius Malfoy, don't have the ability to be a fool." Then he suddenly changed the subject and said frankly, "So I have to say, now that you understand this, it is The greatest benefit you have gained from this failure."

"Yeah..." Lucius said a little sadly, "If I could understand earlier... No, I don't think I would understand without going through those things, right?"

"Well, coincidentally, I thought so too." Maca smiled unceremoniously.

Although Maca somehow moved the topic to a place thousands of miles away, but Snape who was sitting by the side didn't seem to have the intention to bring the topic to the fore.

He just sipped the black tea by himself and looked out the window expressionlessly.

"Alas..." Lucius sighed again after hearing the words, "But, in the final analysis, I still understand too late. The current Malfoy family has lost too much... Naxi and I Sha can only make some remedies as much as possible, so that Draco can reduce some unnecessary burdens in the future..."

Of course Maca knew exactly what Lucius meant by "losing too much". After all, most of Voldemort's Death Eaters were members of pure-blood wizard families, and they naturally had many connections with the Malfoy family. relationship of interests.

But now, this intricate network of relationships has become dilapidated.

"Don't struggle too much," he suddenly reminded, "You parents must keep in mind that your children will see everything you say and do."

"what do you mean?"

Maca's unprepared words naturally made Lucius deeply puzzled. But what he said was related to Draco, which can be said to be what Lucius is most concerned about now.

"It means literally," Maca took a sip of tea before explaining, "Perhaps you have already felt it—your son, Draco Malfoy, is also growing up day by day, isn't he?"

As he said, he put down the teacup in his hand, and the expression on his face became more serious.

"In the past, many people didn't like your Malfoy family. They thought you were selfish and arrogant, and didn't take others seriously..."

"Probably those people's views have not changed much until now."

Maca's words were actually very straightforward, and he didn't save Lucius any face.

Even though Lucius didn't dare to say anything at all now, seeing his gradually thicker breathing, it was obvious that the remaining self-esteem in his heart couldn't stop provoking his nerves.

"However," Maca changed the subject again after poking at the other party's sore spot during the conversation, and her tone eased, "I can also understand from your words that at least when dealing with your family, your husband and wife and other parents There is no difference. Even... as far as I know, your wife Narcissa is very fond of Malfoy, right?"

He said "That's right" to Snape, and when the latter noticed that Maca was looking this way, he nodded slightly in agreement.

"McLean...Mr. McLean," Lucius couldn't bear the bouncing conversation, and couldn't help but shake off the blond hair that fell on his chest, and said patiently, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Maca just shrugged.

"I want to say," he said calmly, "Parents, don't try too hard sometimes. When you are working hard for your son and your family, you often put a heavier burden on your son . . . what's the point of what you're doing if you crush him before he inherits the family?"

At this point, Maca paused for a while, giving Lucius some time to think, and then continued: "I just said - the child is growing up day by day, and is also watching you day by day But, in the future, he will go his own way..."

"... As parents, it is impossible for you to follow him for the rest of your life, isn't it?"

"Draco..." Lucius murmured, "I understand what you said, but—"

Lucius listened to what Maca said, but the situation facing the Malfoy family is really bad. If he just left this mess to his son Draco, he would really feel ashamed as a father.

Seeing this, Maca couldn't help but waved his hand.

"So, while thinking about his future, we should also be more concerned about Draco's thoughts..." He persuaded, "It's better to say that the heaviest burden on your family now may not be external at all." It's not a dilemma, but this oppressive atmosphere that you create yourself after you suffer setbacks."

"Is...is that so..." Lucius couldn't help but mumbled to himself when he heard this, "Yeah... Narcissa and I only care about blaming ourselves for our failures, so we have been forcing ourselves to try to change. status quo……"

"Is it because the focus is always on the whole family, so at some point, Draco's mood is ignored..."

"Draco..." He hesitated, and nodded slightly, "Yes, McKellen, maybe you are right...Draco has his own way to go, we can't help him all the time. Instead of Putting too much pressure on him to help him solve problems is better than letting him face problems more easily..."

At this point, Lucius suddenly raised his head, looked directly at Maca and said, "Mr. McLean, is it...Draco said something to you?"

"He didn't say anything..."

Maca just said this, and then turned to say: "Mr. Malfoy, I think you have understood some of Draco's thoughts through what you said just now. To be honest, I only thought about these things. The judgment I made, whether it is really as I thought, will have to be verified one by one later..."

"All in all, you first firmly remember what you have just understood, and then..." He knocked on the table suddenly, and said loudly, "I need you to help me do something—for your son, Draco Malfoy."

From Snape's angle, the morning sun was somewhat dazzling, but he still kept his eyes on the world outside the window.

The so-called family relationship, he was always a little uncomfortable, even with a sister like Tia.
