Chapter 52: Going to Your Doorstep to Confront You

"You can't."

Malfoy tried to stand up, but he couldn't manage it. He felt his legs trembling uncontrollably.

He could hear the chattering of his teeth as he spoke, the upper and lower teeth constantly colliding, making a 'd-d-d' sound.

"Oh? Why can't I?"

Dudley tapped the table in the room with his fingers gently. Each tap felt like a heavy hammer striking Malfoy's heart, making him shiver involuntarily. Dudley extended his huge hand and said leisurely, "You should know that you've offended me, and many times at that."

"I think I've told you before, I'm not a good guy, Mr. Malfoy."

"The students outside know that you took me away." Malfoy's intelligence unexpectedly spiked for once. He shouted loudly as if he had grasped a lifeline, "If you dare to harm me, the professors will know, and they will expel you."

Whenever expulsion was mentioned, Malfoy got excited. At this moment, it seemed like he found a reliance. His teeth stopped chattering, his body no longer trembled, and he could finally take a breath, he was breathing hard.

"Mr. Malfoy," Dudley lowered his voice, interrupting Malfoy's fantasy. His eyes glinted with a dangerous light. "Are you trying to threaten me?"

With just one glance, Dudley deflated Malfoy's courage, which had just inflated like a balloon.

"What makes you think that I care whether I get expelled or not?"

Does Dudley care about getting expelled?

Honestly, to be fair, he was quite concerned about it. He really wanted to spend the past few years of his academic career at Hogwarts peacefully.

But why should Malfoy have the right to expel him? Based on his supposedly Viking ancestry? Or because of his father, a member of the school board?

Oh, if it were elsewhere, having a school board member as a father could indeed allow one to do as they pleased.

Unfortunately, Hogwarts wasn't like some private schools; the authority of a school board member wasn't that great.

They couldn't even decide what Hogwarts students would eat for dinner.

Dudley had deliberately researched and was 100% sure, just like the Sorting Hat said, that he would be well-prepared before doing anything.

This sentence left Malfoy confused. With his current brain capacity, he couldn't figure out why a student wouldn't be afraid of expulsion.

The charm of language lies in who dominates.

Whoever breaks the defense loses.

Now is the time of Durmstrang.

In Malfoy's terrified gaze, Dudley slowly spoke out an address.

"Wiltshire, England."

That was the location of Malfoy's home, the real position of Malfoy Manor.

"Why would you know that?"

A sharp sound like a rooster's crow erupted, Malfoy's voice distorted by fear, and his heartbeat sounded like a drum.

Dudley could hear it even standing still.

Why would Dudley know the address of Malfoy's home?

Good question, blame Lucius if you have to.

He was usually too ostentatious, too high-profile, too flamboyant. Moreover, he never hid the location of his home, never cast the Fidelius Charm. Many in the wizarding world knew where the Malfoy Manor was.

Like Arthur Weasley, Lucius's old rival.

Even the Ministry of Magic would occasionally conduct surprise checks on Malfoy Manor for Dark Magic items.

With Dudley's intelligence, combined with the abilities of the Data Magic Eye, deducing the specific location wasn't difficult.

But Malfoy didn't know that. He was scared by Dudley's words, and regret surged in his heart.

What could be more intimidating than 'I'll go to your doorstep and confront you'? At least for students, there wasn't.

By the way, Dudley recently discovered something interesting while studying magical history.

According to Malfoy's family records, their ancestor was Amand Malfoy from the 11th century, who founded the Malfoy family, which was almost a millennium ago.

At first glance, doesn't it sound like a millennium-old noble family?

However, this claim is not recognized by the wizarding world. According to magical history records, the Malfoy family first appeared in the 16th century, with the recorded family founder being Lucius Malfoy I.

There was a gap of six centuries between the 11th and 16th centuries.

Interestingly, there were no records in their own family about the period before the 16th century. The only proof was a couple of sentences in the family book: Amand Malfoy founded the Malfoy family in the 11th century, and in the 14th century, Nicholas Malfoy used the Black Death as a cover to "get rid of" Muggle tenants and successfully escaped punishment from the wizarding council.

Other than that, there was nothing.

No records at all. As for evidence...

Sorry, don't ask.

If you ask, there is none.

According to magical history records: 990 AD – Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry founded, 1100 – Merlin becomes King Arthur's court magician, 1200 – Birth of the Deathly Hallows.

Wow, the Malfoy family is from the same period as Merlin, a hundred years before the Deathly Hallows appeared.

If Amand Malfoy was born earlier, he might have even seen the founding of Hogwarts.

The history of the Malfoy family is indeed impressive, as fascinating as English fossils.

"Oh, I heard your family keeps a nice white peacock, portraits on the walls, marble fireplace, gilded mirrors, and gorgeous carpets." Based on the information collected earlier, Dudley stared at Malfoy's face, slowly reconstructing the appearance of Malfoy Manor. It seemed as if he could see it with his own eyes.

Listening to Dudley reveal the information bit by bit, Malfoy felt his heart being firmly squeezed.

'How could he know? How does he know?'

At the same time, intuition told him that if Dudley were truly expelled, then what he said would come true.

Actually, Dudley had never been to Malfoy Manor, but wealthy people usually decorated their homes like that.

"If I get expelled, do you think I'll go to your house to have a chat with you?"

"Mr. Malfoy, I don't think your father, Mr. Lucius, can protect you all the time."

"He must be absent sometimes."

"Like this week? France is a nice place."

Dudley's current pace of speech was very slow, accompanying his slow narrative, Malfoy's complexion became paler and paler, like paper.

Malfoy believed in Dudley's words completely. After all, his father had indeed gone to France this week.

Dudley used the simplest language to slowly break down Malfoy's psychological defenses.

Why did Dudley know so clearly? Actually, Lucius was such a show-off that whenever he did something big, he would always publicize it. This week, the Daily Prophet even published the news of Lucius going to France.

Malfoy wasn't in the habit of reading newspapers, and young wizards rarely had this habit.

But Dudley, who made a small fortune with the wand business, subscribed to the Daily Prophet and other wizarding publications every week.

Insight was also one of the necessary elements to become a wizard.

The most important thing was that Malfoy believed it, right?

So, children are really easy to deceive.
