Chapter 265 Zabini's Request
The man outside the door was a little reserved. When he saw that the person who opened the door was Barty Crouch Jr., a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
After hearing the knock on the door, Wenxiu Lord sped up the processing of potion materials by his men.
Move the crucible away from the fire, sprinkle in the herbal granules and infusion little by little while stirring, and watch the liquid slowly turn into fluorescent purple as the stirring rod rotates.
There was nothing to do immediately, so Wenxiu Lord cast a cleansing spell on his hands, then cast a few fresh scent spells in disgust, and then walked towards the door.
Hearing the name said by Barty Crouch Jr., he was surprised, "Mr. Zabini?"
He had hardly any contact with Zabini, a man of few words, even more withdrawn than Grell Nott.
It’s strange that he comes to find me now.
"Yeah." Barty Crouch Jr. was surprised for only a moment when he saw the person coming, but he quickly calmed down.
He saw Outermbia sitting with him in the morning, so he guessed that her coming to see Wenxiu Lord was also related to that woman.
Zabini stepped aside to make way for the silver-haired boy beside him. After seeing Vince Lord, the anxiety that he had briefly forgotten quickly returned to him outside the door.
The silver-haired boy let down his rolled-up sleeves, and at this moment he looked relaxed and elegant, with a graceful smile on his face.
"I wonder what Mr. Zabini wants to talk to me about?"
The smile was so dazzling that it made the man outside the door feel ashamed.
"Mr. Lord, I have something I want to talk to you about. If it's not convenient for you now, I can come back later."
He unconsciously used honorifics while speaking, and his attitude was humble.
The smile on the silver-haired boy's face was perfect. The curve of his lips didn't change at all. It completely matched the smile on the character panel.
"Yes, please come in, Mr. Zabini."
Welcoming him in, the silver-haired boy made eye contact with Barty Crouch Jr. as he turned around.
Barty Jr. nodded imperceptibly and closed the door after Zabini entered the room.
"Please wait a moment. I'll go clean it up."
He waved his wand and brought a plate of exquisite pastries to Zabini, who was so nervous that he was sweating, and then directed the teapot to automatically brew a pot of tea.
The silver-haired boy spoke in a gentle tone and behaved elegantly from beginning to end, but this made it even more difficult for Zabini, who was sitting on the sofa, to say what he was going to say next.
After confirming that the two crucibles did not require immediate attention, Wenxiu Lord walked into the bathroom and washed his hands carefully.
Although he had just used a spell to clean his hands, he still felt uncomfortable because his hands were always dry.
The water flowed over his skin, and Wenxiu Lord also used the newly developed hand sanitizer by the Potter family.
The boy washed slowly, and the bedroom just across the door was even quieter than before the knock on the door.
Severus was still asleep, and with the spell that Venus Lord had cast around his bed, no sound would disturb his rest.
Barty Jr. and Zabini were sitting face to face. Barty's sharp reddish-brown eyes like a hawk were staring at Zabini in front of him, making him dare not even raise his head.
The long "struggle" with Sirius made Barty Crouch Jr.'s name not only a synonym for a melancholy and elegant nobleman, but also made him the top student in the first year of Slytherin College.
He did not participate in the first round selection that night, so no one knew his ability.
Ever since he was targeted by Sirius, his family background, appearance, friendship with Vince Lord, and outstanding spell skills have made the chief chosen that night a joke.
Being stared at by those sharp eyes at this moment, Zabini wanted to flee when he thought of the purpose of coming here.
In his heart, he comforted himself that he could not leave, and he must stay calm and pray for a future for the woman he loved.
The scented tea is steaming, and its rich aroma penetrates into your nose, making you relax involuntarily.
The young man, who only dared to sit on one-third of the sofa, was attracted by the aroma and reached out his hand to pick up the cup of bright liquid.
After swallowing it in one gulp, the smooth and mellow taste slides all the way into the stomach, sending warmth to every part of the body and dispelling some of the tension and anxiety.
The liquid in the teapot was rapidly decreasing, and Little Barty had already looked away.
Soon, the bathroom door was opened. Vince Lord smiled at the two people who looked over and walked over to sit next to Barty Crouch Jr.
"I wonder what Mr. Zabini would like to discuss with me?"
The young man sitting opposite was taller than both of them, and he used to be a cold and taciturn person in the crowd.
At this time, he stammered, and his straight back bent down, "I want to talk to you alone, is that okay?"
If possible, he didn't want more people to know.
The silver-haired boy raised his eyebrows, waved his hand and cast a soundproofing spell around him, but he had no intention of letting little Barty leave.
"He's mine, I can guarantee that he won't tell anyone what you're going to say next, so."
Wenxiu Lord bent slightly, rested his elbows on his legs, clasped his hands together, supported his chin with his thumbs, and looked at him with interest.
"what do you want to say?"
Zabini looked directly into the silver-grey eyes that were clearly smiling, but there was no trace of a smile in them.
a long time.
"What I want to tell you is related to the love potion you were injected with yesterday. I know who helped Sally Bourne."
Hearing his words, the boy's attitude changed and he leaned lazily on the sofa.
"Oh? Even Headmaster Dumbledore hasn't been able to find out anything about this matter yet. How did you know about this?"
His tone was nonchalant, and he picked up a piece of cake that Little Batty handed to him and put it into his mouth, looking like he didn't care at all.
"I'm just guessing. I came here today to ask you to let her go."
"who is she?"
The young man kept talking to himself, as if he would never again muster the courage if he paused.
"I am willing to follow you. After I become the head of the Zabini family, I am willing to assist you wholeheartedly. I hope you can let her go and not make this matter public."
"I'll just ask one last time, who is she?"
Wenxiu Lord's voice was a little cold at this time. He was not short of money and did not care about the followers of the Zabini family.
On the contrary, it was the young man's attitude that aroused his interest.
Wenxiu Lord was very curious as to why the man in front of him wanted to help her based only on guesses and possibilities.
The young man's lips trembled, and he slowly pronounced a name, "Eliza Walumbia."
He took a sip of the scented tea, and the lingering fragrance made the silver-haired boy close his eyes comfortably.
"Tell me the reason for your guess."
After Zabini opened his mouth, he kept his head down and stared at the teacup in his hand, and did not notice the expression on the silver-haired boy's face at this moment.
Hearing his question, she suddenly clenched her hands and easily shattered the reflection in the teacup.
"Eliza, his mental state has not been good since he saw you and Sally Burne in public yesterday."
With every word the young man spoke, the expression on his face became more painful.
"I knew Eliza liked you, I thought she was just too sad."
"until."
Little Batty interrupted the young man's hesitant words and quickly completed the rest.
"It was not until you saw Eliza Outermbia lose control of her emotions this morning after learning that Wenxiu Lord drank the antidote that you realized she might be involved in this incident."
The young man looked up in astonishment and saw Wenxiu Lord looking at him calmly without any emotion in his eyes. He knew that he had guessed it a long time ago.
With a somewhat dejected expression, Zabini drank the cold tea in his hand.
"Yes, so if she is really involved in this matter, I pray that Mr. Lord will let her go."
The silver-haired boy opposite him turned the patriarch's ring, with excitement in his eyes that he couldn't understand.
"In exchange for the Zabini family?"
When Zabini heard his words, he hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, "Use the Zabini family in exchange."
The little man in Wenxiu Lord's mind lit a small firework, which shot straight into the sky and burst into brilliant fireworks.
The little man bit his handkerchief, screamed and twisted wildly, crawling around in his mind, "Ahhh! It's so good."
Regarding a fan of a weird CP, he said he was touched again.
Although he was excited in his heart, his expression in front of others was indifferent. "Okay, I agree."
The young man was tense and tense, as if he was waiting for the judge's verdict. After hearing his consent, he felt relieved.
That’s great! Eliza doesn’t have to worry every day anymore. He wants to tell Eliza the good news.
