Chapter 342: Prodigal Son Returns?

John didn't tell Draco the truth about Professor Snape's identity.

Because he still couldn't fully trust Draco.

However, his words reminded John of the Unbreakable Vow between Professor Snape and Draco.

Now Draco had been completely exposed, and even defected.

The Unbreakable Vow between him and Professor Snape should have been automatically lifted.

That saved some worry.

"We already knew about this, don't worry."

John answered casually, without explaining much.

Draco was stunned when he heard this.

You knew and still let Snape teach at Hogwarts?

John also saw Draco's confusion, so he said.

"This is the Headmaster's arrangement; he must have his own plans."

"Alright." Draco nodded, not saying anything more.

In this camp, he didn't have much say, so naturally, he wouldn't question Dumbledore's decision.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go first..."

Draco was about to turn and leave, but John suddenly called him back.

"Wait a minute, Draco, I want to know what you did this month."

"You seem to have changed a lot."

John looked at the Draco in front of him and asked slowly.

He was really curious now about what Draco had experienced during this holiday.

To have such earth-shaking changes.

Draco was silent for a moment before speaking slowly.

"I have been learning magic by Lord Grindelwald's side for this month."

"He taught me a lot of knowledge."

"Although most of it is Dark Magic..."

"But thanks to Lord's tempering, I have indeed changed a lot."

Speaking of this, Draco lowered his eyes, looking at his right arm.

"At the same time, I also realized how ridiculous and pathetic I was before."

"Relying on the so-called pure-blood name, self-righteous, not caring about anything, a muddled official."

"The wizarding world is still about strength."

"Muggle-born wizards can also bloom with dazzling light—just like you."

Draco's voice was very light, and John listened quietly without commenting.

He paused, then looked at John, smiling for the first time.

"By the way, Lord also asked me to agree to a condition before he would teach me knowledge."

"What condition?" John asked curiously.

"That is, as his representative in the younger generation, to defeat you and Potter, who are Dumbledore's representatives."

John raised his eyebrows, also rarely showing a smile to Draco.

Not mocking, just purely feeling it was fun.

"Then I suggest you start with Harry; he's been busy falling in love lately and has almost abandoned magic."

"Just needs a stimulus."

Draco nodded, not refuting.

He also knew he couldn't beat John right now.

Didn't expect this conversation to be quite pleasant, and John slightly eased some of his hostility toward Draco.

Just as Dumbledore once said, Draco stood on the edge of a cliff.

And now, he was slowly taking a small step back.

If he could really turn over a new leaf.

John couldn't say he accepted him, but at least he wouldn't treat him with the attitude of facing an enemy.

Just like hating someone, but not really wanting him to die.

Because in terms of stance, they were no longer mortal enemies.

As for the mistakes he had made before, he thought he had already received the punishment he deserved.

Regarding the Malfoy family moving into the Titus house, John thought it was necessary to notify Titus.

He hated the Malfoys very much.

Including whether he was willing to let the Malfoy family continue to stay, Titus should also have the right to know and decide.

So John took Draco directly to find Titus.

At this moment, he, Ryan, and Ethan were in the Great Hall.

They hadn't gone home during the Christmas holiday.

"John!?"

"Why did you arrive so soon? Shouldn't the train arrive at night?"

Seeing John appear, Titus and the others were stunned, then shouted with surprise.

However, after seeing Draco behind John, they all looked guarded in unison.

A while ago, they had seen the news of Lucius's death in the newspaper and celebrated wildly.

Draco nodded slightly when he saw them, not showing the usual arrogance he treated them with, only a trace of appropriate restraint and alienation.

"Sigh, it's a long story, sit down first."

John signaled Draco to sit at the end of the long table, while he pulled Titus and the three to sit on the other side, looking at Draco who was alone.

There was a bit of an interrogation feel.

Titus and the others followed John and sat down obediently, all feeling strange.

Why John would bring Draco.

"A lot of things happened this holiday, can't finish talking in a while."

"Simply put, the Malfoys have broken away from the Death Eater forces."

"Now they are being hunted down by Death Eaters."

John said something shocking, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he stunned the three of them.

But without waiting for them to ask, John continued.

"And then, Titus, before Auntie said that the Malfoys and your Claude family were family friends, you remember, right."

Hearing John suddenly bring this up, Titus was stunned for a moment, combined with the fact that the Malfoys were being hunted down.

Immediately guessed what John wanted to express, but wasn't very sure.

"John, what do you want to say..." Titus asked with some bad premonition.

"It's just that the Malfoy family is hiding in your house for refuge now."

Titus's expression management immediately went chaotic, pointing at Draco, and asked in disbelief again.

"You mean, the Malfoys moved into my house!?"

His reaction was very intense, but it was also within John's expectation; John patted his shoulder and continued.

"Don't be excited, Titus, there's even worse news."

"What the hell? There's even worse?"

Titus broke his defense for the second time; he really didn't know what could be worse than this.

"It's that a Dark Lord comparable to Voldemort has also moved into your house."

Once these words were out, the three fell into a dead silence.

What is a Dark Lord comparable to Voldemort?

Voldemort isn't the only Dark Lord?

And why did such an existence move into Titus's house?

Soon, John told everything that happened this holiday.

From the formulation and development of their plan, to meeting Draco and Narcissa by chance, to the battle with Voldemort, and finally going to that isolated Nurmengard.

Regarding Nurmengard, Dumbledore didn't let John mention it to anyone.

But Titus had already been inevitably dragged in.

So John didn't hide anything.

As for Ryan and Ethan, anyway, they were their own people, and John trusted them unconditionally.

And even if he didn't say it, Titus would share it with them sooner or later, so he just said it together.

It's just that this amount of information burned the three's CPUs.

How long has it been, how did the situation suddenly become something they didn't recognize.

Originally, they only needed to focus on Voldemort as an enemy.

Now another Grindelwald, whose friend or foe status was unclear, popped up.

And he even brought the Malfoy family to move into Titus's house. ===== CHAPTER 343 =====
