"You mean we won't see Greyback again?" he asked softly.
"I think so." Lucius on the side said, "He has bitten so many people, and he can only survive until now because he was not caught..."
Before he finished speaking, Oren suddenly stood up and left the room without even saying hello or looking back.
Now, only Malfoy and his son were left in the room. They looked at each other, and no one knew what was going on.
"What's wrong with him? Did I say something wrong?" Draco Malfoy asked nervously.
Lucius thought carefully for a while, shook his head and said, "No, at least in my opinion."
He was now more and more certain that there was something abnormal about this Oren.

Chapter 765 Six consecutive championships
"Have you heard? Malfoy was picked up!"
In the Gryffindor common room, Harry pushed open the door and broke in. As if he had discovered some treasure, he found Hermione and Ron doing homework with excitement on his face.
"What did you say?" They both raised their heads at the same time and asked.
"Malfoy was picked up from school. He dropped out," Harry said again. "I just met the Slytherin team and they are selecting a new Seeker."
"This is impossible." Hermione lowered her head again, flipped through the "Advanced Transfiguration Guide" at hand, and said: "There is no reason why Malfoy dropped out of school."
"Does this need to be said? The things he did must have been discovered."
Ron looked as excited as Harry, "I have been wondering why the Death Eaters can come to the school quietly. Someone must be helping them, and this person is probably Malfoy!"
Harry applauded Ron wildly in his mind.
Because he promised Dumbledore that he couldn't tell anyone what happened in the tower before, but he didn't expect Ron to guess it.
"Yes, I think so too." Harry said decisively, "Now that the school is preparing to settle accounts after autumn, he has to run away. I really should have told the professors earlier and asked them to keep an eye on Malfoy."
"It doesn't matter, at least we don't have to see him anymore." Ron said happily, "I can't imagine how great Hogwarts would be without Malfoy."
"Is that right?"
Hermione was still a little skeptical, but seeing Harry and Ron cheering as if it was Christmas early, she didn't say anything else.
Whether it was Malfoy who put Death Eaters into the school or not, it was not an issue they should consider.
In school, Malfoy's dropping out of school also did not attract much attention at Hogwarts, because he was not the only one who did this.
Ever since the news about Death Eaters breaking into Hogwarts spread, many parents came over and picked up their children.
Even Hufflepuff has such a person, the Quidditch match commentator Zachary Smith, who followed his arrogant father out of the castle during breakfast.
The professors did not stop this.
They have had too much to do recently, not only to strengthen the castle defenses, but also to patrol around Hogsmeade and prepare for the upcoming exams. They have not stopped since they opened their eyes every day.
Therefore, for those parents who do not trust the school, they can only choose to respect the other party's decision.
Of course, there are also some more assertive students who convinced their parents and insisted on staying in school.
"Only fools would leave school at this time."
When Zachary Smith and his father passed by the foyer, MacMillan, who was eating, suddenly said loudly: "Those smug fools, they don't think there is a safer place than Hogwarts outside!"
Zachary Smith is the only Hufflepuff student to leave school.
Half an hour ago, McMillan was chatting with Seamus from Gryffindor and vowed that no one from Hufflepuff would leave the school.
This situation is undoubtedly a slap in his face, and the sound is crisp, so McMillan will naturally not be happy.
But the father and son outside the door seemed not to have heard and strode over anyway.
Unlike MacMillan who gritted his teeth, Harry and Ron almost jumped for joy.
First Malfoy, and now their most hated Quidditch commentator Zachary has also left the school, which is a double blessing.
Harry even thanked the Death Eaters in his heart. After this attack, all the bad elements in the school seemed to disappear.
The only pity is that they have also reached the end of the term.
"It would be great if it stays like this next semester." Harry was looking forward to it in his heart.
……
As if to match his mood, the weather in June was sunny and wonderful, and even the wind blowing in had a faint fragrance.
Harry and Ron would lie by the window when they had nothing to do, enjoying the breeze while flipping through books to prepare for the upcoming exam.
It wasn't until Hermione told them that the smell was the smell produced by the fermentation of Moon Crazy Beast fertilizer that the two of them closed the window with livid faces.
"Hermione, you should have told us earlier!" Ron muttered.
"If you were more serious in Herbology class, you wouldn't need me to remind you!" Hermione said without raising her head.
Harry's good mood lasted until the first weekend of June.
It was the day of the Quidditch match between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, and it was also the Quidditch final.
They had just finished their last game half a month ago, and their opponent was Ravenclaw. Although Harry was missing the Seeker, they still won with Ginny's outstanding performance, and won with a total score of The advantage of 660 points is temporarily ranked first.
The second place Hufflepuff is 500 points.
In other words, if Hufflepuff fails to score 160 points in this game, they will win the first Quidditch Cup in ten years.
Early in the morning, almost all Gryffindors came to the court, waiting for the game to start.
Professor McGonagall also came. When people saw her in the stands, they felt it was incredible. After all, she didn't come to the Gryffindor game half a month ago, but she came today.
Of course, it could also be that Professor McGonagall was too busy half a month ago and couldn't spare time to watch the game.
Harry and the others came to the stands and sat down, waiting for the game to start.
"Hermione, can't you put the book down?" Ron couldn't help but said, "How can you still read it under such circumstances?"
"Why not." Hermione calmly turned the page.
"This game is related to whether we can win the Quidditch Cup!" Ron said, "We haven't won it in more than ten years."
"Compared with the Quidditch Cup, I think you should be more concerned about the final exam in a week's time."
"I know, but these are two different things, we..."
Ron wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by a deafening cheer.
He subconsciously turned his head and saw everyone in the Hufflepuff audience standing up excitedly.
Then he knew why.
Kyle appeared in the starting lineup, and judging from his position, he should have returned to his old profession as a chaser.
"Oh, crap!" Ron covered his forehead, "Didn't Kyle take leave? Why is he still participating in the game?"
"Don't you know by now?" Hermione raised her head and glanced at him, "Kyle has started taking classes again since the last Death Eater attack."
At this time, Ms. Huo Qi blew the whistle in her hand and the game began.
"It's okay." Harry said next to him, not knowing whether he was comforting Ron or himself.
"Quidditch is not a one-person game. Even Kyle can't guarantee that he will beat Ravenc..."
"Goal scored."
Harry's voice was drowned out by the new narrator's screams.
"Kyle scored the first goal right after the game started and the Ravenclaw goalkeeper didn't react at all.
"10:0, Hufflepuff leads!"
Deafening cheers erupted from the stands again, and several Hufflepuff fans even danced in the stands.
They haven't seen this kind of devastating attack for more than a year.
"It doesn't matter..." Harry's voice was dry, "It's only one goal, and we are still 150 points ahead."
five minutes later……
"It's okay, just three balls."
……
"We're still a hundred points ahead."
……
"It doesn't matter. Gryffindor still has a fifty-point advantage."
Twenty minutes later...
"It's okay. It's just a tie now. Maybe Qiu will catch the Golden Snitch soon."
Harry's voice became softer and softer, and his expression became duller and duller.
When Kyle made another long shot and threw the Quaffle into the goal post, Harry's hanging heart finally died.
The entire Gryffindor stand was silent.
"It's okay..." Harry said with difficulty, "We still have a chance next year. I mean, Kyle will graduate next year, right?"
Ron didn't answer. He seemed to have had all his strength taken away from him and sat there with his head hanging down.
Hermione shook her head and continued reading the book in her hand.
Ever since she saw Kyle in the player team, she had thought of this outcome.
Facts also proved that she was right, only Ron and Harry were unwilling to accept it.
After half an hour, the game was over.
Qiu relied on his rich experience to catch the Golden Snitch with a two-inch advantage, but Kyle scored too many goals. Twenty-eight goals in one game, almost one every minute, directly broke the school record.
By the way, the last scoring record was also Kyle's.
So even if Ravenclaw adds 150 points, the score is still far behind.
When the audience left, Harry didn't even dare to look into Professor McGonagall's eyes and kept his head lowered.
