bat, grimm and the cat can fix it (Translation)

A true lord

Lucius looked surprised at his blazing fireplace. It just turned green.
Few people had authority to flee directly to the aristocrat's office, and even fewer would do so without notice.
this restricted the number of possible visitors to just three people.
The next moment there was a Sirius Black in the room who seemed to have an incredible anger.
"Do I have to be afraid for my facility or my well-being, or why the bitter expression?"
"What a greeting." Sirius shot back.
“You started with rudeness. Why did you just come here without notice? "
lucius would never have admitted it, but he was thoroughly curious. Something Sirius knew, of course, but he didn't bring it up.
"Have you read the newspaper today?" Asked the Black.
“Of course, the followers of this moronic order are still trying to overthrow the new law. There have already been five attacks on magical beings. However, they resisted and then called the Aurors. "
"I have read that. what came out of the questioning? "
Lucius snorted.
“That some people seem very resistant to learning. They weren't aware of any guilt. After all, it would be autumn, the season in which one could hunt Icelandic trolls. "
“Curse them all. Two of Harry's friends are descended from such beings. Where are these criminals? ”Sirius growled.
“On the way to Azkaban. and the Minister thinks Dumbledore and his bunch would need another damper. He has already sat down with a few advisors. "
"And that brings us to the reason I'm here." Sirius sighed.

lucius offered the man a chair and something to drink. Then he really wanted to know why his friend was here.
Sirius had to take a deep breath first. Then he handed Lucius the "wind cut."
the blonde quickly scanned the article in question.
He then threw the newspaper on his desk in frustration.
“And from such a renowned journal. Since when have they been writing such nonsense? "
"I do not know that. To be honest, I don't know the newspaper well enough, after all, I've never been interested in politics. What do you know about it? ”Sirius wanted to know curiously.
“Most of all, I know your reporters are of a completely different caliber than Skeeter and Lovegood. Every single article is usually based on strong evidence. Headlines are only printed once you have been thoroughly informed about the topic beforehand. Incidentally, the 'wind cut' was the only sheet that raised concerns about your imprisonment. much to Crouch's frustration, you know how obsessed he was back then. "
“You should have seen him when he was on the island. He cursed and scolded that you could have thought he was imprisoned himself. "
Lucius nodded.
“It took him years to get over his son's betrayal. But to this day he has not really got over the death of his wife. "
The two men were silent for a moment and were caught up in their memories.
Sirius did not remain silent for long, however.

"So you're saying the newspaper has a good reputation?"
"A better sheet than any other sheet I know." Confirmed the blonde.
"How did it come to that?Accusingly, Sirius pointed to the article.
“I can't tell you that, at least not yet. But I will definitely make inquiries. "
"Sounds like I'll have to wait ages for answers." Moaned the Black.
"No way, I'm going to send an owl straight away, you will get the answers today. Because I'm interested in them too. ”The man admitted.
"Well, then I'll go to Mrs. Bones in the meantime."
"Why?" Lucius wanted to know, perplexed.
“To do something about the long beard. Or do you think I will continue to let him treat my child like that? "
The blond aristocrat, who had already pulled out a sheet of letterhead, paused in his work. he looked up in surprise.
“You have really changed. Marriage seems to be good for you. "
A satisfied smile came from the person opposite.
“I've never been so happy in my life. I don't need much besides my family. I just want her to be fine. "
"That is the attitude of a real lord."
Lucius was suggesting that as a nobleman you don't have to be arrogant and selfish. Not like he always showed it to the outside world.
"I should have listened to you when we were young." Sirius confessed.

With that he said goodbye and went to the head of the family department. They'd gotten off well with the woman the summer before Harry's third year.
and even now the lady with the monocle was very accommodating. She put Sirius' testimony through its paces. After she herself was convinced that the headmaster was behaving in an impossible way, she took action.
in the end, Sirius left the woman's office with a very smug grin.
