Chapter 744 "The Most Revered Useless Father"

Maca is not a person who likes to play sensational...well, at least not on the surface. If I have to say it, he is actually more pragmatic, and he pays more attention to efficiency in dealing with others.

Then when facing Lucius at Malfoy Manor this time, why did he take the initiative to talk about family affection? Is it really just to give Lucius enough time to mentally prepare?

Facts tell us that Maca is still the same Maca, and he still doesn't have much sympathy for the suffering Malfoy and his son. The reason why he cared so much about Lucius' state of mind was simply because he had already made a decision.

"Mr. Malfoy, remind your house-elves - never enter this room without orders for the rest of the time."

In an empty room on the top floor of the mansion, Maca was painting and drawing on the floor, apparently outlining a rather complicated rune pattern.

Even Snape has only seen Maca's strange use in ancient magic literature a few times.

Right now, he is standing quietly on the side, his eyes fixed on the gradually formed pattern on the floor, as if he wants to see some doorway from it.

Snape had read Maca's textbooks for students many times. Now when he comes to observe the rune formation map constructed by Maca himself, he can only regretfully find that these are two completely different levels.

"... In this formation, the combination of ancient runes is basically not used?"

After watching for a while, Snape couldn't help asking. After Maca heard it, he nodded immediately, but the speed of drawing the rune in his hand did not drop at all.

"Well, how should I put it..." He explained casually, "To put it simply, the meaning of the ancient runes is too vague, and a simple combination may not be a problem, but if the combination is too complicated, it will be difficult to do. "

he said,

But he added a special sentence: "Of course, as the 'last ancient rune', it can play a very important role in guiding students to get started. It can even be said that it is irreplaceable."

At the beginning, Maca himself also started with runes. Without it, Maca might not be able to understand how to understand more in-depth runes.

After he squatted on the ground and tinkered for a while, a rune array full of branches was finally completely completed.

Although right now it is just patterns and lines scribbled on the floor with pen and ink, but when it is infused with magic power, it will be able to bloom a beautiful blue light.

"Mr. Malfoy," Maca stood up, and instructed Lucius who was also standing on the outside, "although I told you about Draco's situation before I came here just now. But I I think you'd better listen again carefully, including what you need to do later..."

"Remember, Draco is still the original Draco, your son," he said after a pause, "He may show a completely different personality from before, and he may say a lot of nonsense... It may even disturb your heart by pleading or scolding..."

"However, as long as you find a way to awaken the other half in Draco's heart, even if it's just for a moment! I will firmly seize the opportunity to restore him."

At this point, Maca took out his staff and waved it casually, and a small statue flew out of his waist pocket immediately. I saw that the statue was getting bigger and bigger in mid-air, and when it fell to the center of the pattern, it had completely changed back to its original appearance after being petrified.

"Recall what I said to you earlier." Maca reminded again.

Draco's appearance after petrification naturally did not change at all, the resentment and horror at that time were still vivid on his face. And his expression naturally had a great influence on Lucius.

"Draco..."

Seeing the tragic appearance of his son being petrified, especially seeing the panic and fear on his son's face, Lucius felt as if his heart was being tightened.

Although he, as a father, is not as fond of his children as his mother, Narcissa, and sometimes even teaches them strictly, it doesn't mean that he doesn't love his children.

And since Maca also needs him to reveal his true feelings next, he didn't speak out to suppress the other party's emotions. Because it can be seen that after the series of psychological preparations just now, Lucius has been able to barely restrain the agitation in his heart.

"Are you ready?"

Maca took out another potion bottle from his waist, and asked one last time.

On the other side, Lucius rearranged his face, and after standing directly opposite his son, he calmed down and nodded. At this moment, Draco was inside the rune pattern, while Lucius was outside it, and the distance between the two seemed to be an unbridgeable gap.

There is no way, Maca said earlier - even one failure is not absolutely unacceptable, but if you walk into that formation, then everything will be closed.

After Lucius nodded to confirm, Maca immediately waved his staff again, making the potion bottle with the cork removed smoothly fluttering to the top of the stone statue.

The medicine bottle was tilted, and the potion inside was poured out little by little.

As the medicinal liquid slid down from the head of the stone statue, the petrification effect was continuously weakened or eliminated.

This process is actually not long, and the effective time of the mandrake resurrection potion is quite short. But in Lucius' feeling, these few tens of seconds seemed as long as months.

Of course, Maca didn't completely remove Draco's petrified state, all he wanted was to be able to talk normally. Soon, when he noticed that Draco's eyeballs began to tremble slightly, he immediately put the potion bottle back.

"...Ah! You're lying to me! No..."

Draco's thoughts were obviously still at the moment when Maca petrified him. At that time, he mistakenly thought that Maca was going to kill him on the spot. But at the last moment, when he felt that his entire face was numb, he realized that he had been cheated.

Then, he completely lost consciousness.

Now that part of his petrification effect had been removed, he couldn't help shouting out, but it didn't take long for him to find that he had entered a new environment.

"……Father."

"Draco," Lucius looked at his son's face with a complicated expression, "Draco...you...do you feel okay?"

As Maca said before, Draco was still Draco. Facing his father at this time, his face also showed a trace of unspeakable hesitation, as if he was remembering something.

It is not unusual for a son to worship his father. Such sentiments have been everywhere since ancient times. And Draco was one of those people.

From a very young age, he felt that his father was very cool, and he always looked proud and confident in everything he saw and did. For a long time, he thought his father was the most powerful wizard in the world, and he wanted to imitate his father's every move.

But after that, he entered Hogwarts, Voldemort was resurrected, the Malfoy family fell into turmoil, and the father he admired at the beginning became more and more blurred in his mind.

Then one day, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have grown up.

Before the problem of Draco's mental state, Maca's judgment on him was roughly correct-Draco did bear a lot of pressure from his parents and family, which made him almost out of breath.

But there is one sentence that Maca said wrong.

Draco was not crushed by the heavy reality, he was indeed timid about himself and the future of his family, but he was still trying to straighten his back.

Even when he was infested by nightmares and gradually found that his state had problems, he still did not give up, but made his last struggle.

If not, I am afraid Maca will not have this chance to "save" Draco now.

When Lucius tentatively asked a word, Draco's face changed slightly, but after a while, his eyes showed a strange sharpness again.

Immediately afterwards, he simply stopped looking at his father's face, but turned his head reluctantly to look at Maca who was standing sideways with Snape.

"McLean, we seem to... meet again."

While throwing this sentence at Maca, a mocking smile appeared on Draco's face.

He is still alive now, which proves that his observation and deduction of Maca seem to be correct. In other words, as long as he is still Draco Malfoy, it is impossible for Maca to really kill him.

Now, even his father Lucius appeared in front of him, didn't this further prove that he was right?

"Yes! We meet again."

Maca nodded expressionlessly and didn't say much. His eyes were also looking in Draco's direction, but it wasn't so much that he was looking at Draco as that he was looking at something else through Draco's body.

Seeing Maca's somewhat careless expression, Draco slowly narrowed his eyes, and the sharpness in his eyes gradually became stronger.

"Finally tricked me, and petrified me before I had time to react, didn't you just guess that I could assimilate and devour 'that guy'..." He said in a low voice, "Why, do you think that with my father around, I can Would you cry, shout, kneel down and beg for forgiveness?"

At this point, Draco curled his lips, and his disdain became stronger.

"Hmph... that's fine," he said with a snort, "Undo the petrification! I'll do as you wish... After all, this is my most revered useless father!"

"Draco, you—"

"Shut up! Dear father," Draco turned his head suddenly, and said with a cold face, "Haven't you made me miserable enough? Haven't you made this family miserable enough? If I were you, I would definitely I will put a death-defying curse on myself, so that I won’t have to stay in this house every day and suffer repeated curses from the portraits of my ancestors!"
