59 Civilised talk with Malfoy.

Blair was sitting on the chair in front of Dumbledore. The old man was carefully inspecting the half-burnt diary. Blair had a faint idea what it was, he would discuss about it afterwards. The Weasleys and the Prewetts just left the school. Molly and Arthur took Ginny to their home to recover from the trauma, They also wanted to take Ron with them as he nearly got oblivated from their now officially idiot DADA professor. But the redhead wanted to spend time in Hogwarts, and the danger was gone anyway, So they reluctantly agreed.

Harry was standing beside them. His face looked a little exhausted and Blair didn't find it abnormal as the kid hadn't slept for nearly 24 hours, Blair was about to suggest Harry to retire when the door of the office burst opened, Revealing a furious Lucius Malfoy followed by a house-elf wearing shabby clothes, Which were of very low quality, even for the house elf's standards.

"So - You've come back. The governors suspended you, but you still saw fit to return to Hogwarts."

"Well, you see, Lucius," said Dumbledore, smiling serenely, "I would have returned back to school sooner or later anyway. The news of Arthur Weasley's daughter being killed just accelerated the process. The other eleven governors contacted me today, They seemed to think I was the best man for the job after all. Very strange tales they told me Several of them seemed to think that you had threatened to curse their families if they didn't agree to suspend me in the first place."

Mr Malfoy went even paler than usual, but his eyes were still filled with fury.

"So, have you caught the culprit,"

"We have," said Dumbledore, with a smile.

"Who is it?" Malfoy asked sharply.

"The same person as last time, Lucius," said Dumbledore. "But this time, Lord Voldemort was acting through somebody else. With the help of this dairy."

He held up the half-burnt dairy while looking closely at Malfoy. Blair was also furiously observing Malfoy this whole time. Harry had told him about who was responsible for all this. As a result, Right now he really wanted to kill him.

Both of them didn't notice the house-elf giving Harry meaningful looks.

"Well you see, it was a clever plan because if Harry here," Dumbledore said as Malfoy shot Harry a sharp look "and his friend Ron hadn't discovered this book, Ginny Weasley might have taken all the blame. No one would ever have been able to prove she hadn't acted of her own free will...."

Malfoy didn't say anything, He just kept on looking at the book without letting any hint of emotion reveal on his face.

"And one can only imagine," Dumbeldore said loftily. But Blair could see a hint of coldness hidden in those old blue eyes, "What might have happened to Arthur Weasley and his Muggle protection act if his own daughter is going around killing Muggleborns....."

(A/N:- it's a Muggle protection act not the Muggleborn Protection act. So don't say that it is Blair's job. He is trying to improve Muggleborn's and werewolf's life.)

Malfoy didn't say anything, there was a brief silence.

"Don't you want to know how Ginny got hold of that diary, Mr Malfoy?" said Harry.

Lucius Malfoy turned towards him.

"How should I know how the stupid little girl got hold of it?" he said.

"Because you gave it to her," said Harry. "In Flourish and Blotts. You picked up her old Transfiguration book and slipped the diary inside it, didn't you?"

Malfoy again went into a brief silence before saying sharply.

"Prove it, "

He failed to notice anger in Blair's eyes intensify.

"Oh, no one will be able to do that," said Dumbledore, smiling. "But, I would advise you, Lucius, not to go giving out any more of Lord Voldemort's old school things. There are many people....ah...how do I put it."

"Are eager to make you disappear from the surface of the earth." Blair interrupted, completing the headmaster's sentence. Headmaster probably wanted to say something else.

Malfoy gave Blair a shaky glance before turning around. He gave the heavily bandaged house elf a kick.

"We are leaving Dobby."

The elf gave a small cry before following his master.

Blair stood up from his chair before taking the half-burnt book from the table.

"Malfoy you forgot something." He threw the book with ever drop of force in his body. It directly hit Lucius, right on the face. The impact was so strong that it broke Lucius's nose. Blood began to come out, Slowly sipping down his nose, few droplets spilling on the ground.

" HOW DARE YOU" Lucius was furious. He took out his wand directly pointing it towards Blair, Who already had his own wand in his hand.

"Some people really are testing my patients, You do realize that my daughter is petrified in the infirmary and you still have the nerve to show yourself in front of me, also admitting that it was YOUR doing right on my face," Blair said coldly. "Come on, Attack me. I dare you, Let's see if you leave this school alive."

Lucius anger subsided a bit after hearing his threat. He was not an idiot to attack Blair who was way more powerful than him. He could easily kill him, He was no match for him. He slowly put down his wand back into his stick. he didn't want to give a reason to Blair for legally attacking him, If he by any chance attack Blair with any slightly dark spells, The mudblood bastard could just kill him, giving self-defence as a reason and getting away with a few months or a year in Azkaban.

"I will take this to Wizengamots," Lucius said, his voice filled with fury.

"I was just passing you your property, It's not my fault you couldn't catch it." Blair's voice suddenly changed. "Dumbledore and Mister Potter could vouch for me."

The headmaster and Harry just gave a nod.

"As for you filing a complaint to Wizengamots, Well they will just ask me to pay up your compensation, I can pay for that."

Malfoy sneered and exited the office.

"Professor, Mr Malfoy forgot his book can I return it to him..."

"Of course Harry...." Dumbeldore said.
