User blog:S.M.Shen/Harry Potter：Judging from the trivia Lucius Malfoy's wife had done, Slytherin's ancient wisdom

For the Slytherin wizarding family, which believes in the supremacy of pure blood and the continuation of blood, how to ensure the survival of their family in the chaotic situation is a crucial task for the pure blood wizards born in Slytherin.Most of the Slytherin-born wizards in "Harry potter" are villains who are either arrogant or extremely abusive, and few are really wise.In this respect, however, Narcissa Malfoy, a character of little note, brings Slytherin survival smarts to life in a single incident.

1. The small matter between the Malfoy family and Narcissa in a difficult situation
After Lucius Malfoy failed to capture Harry potter and other students at the command of Voldemort, the 16-year-old Draco Malfoy was marked by Voldemort as a death eater, and the underage Draco had to complete a high-risk and difficult mission to assassinate Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts.With her husband in prison and her son sent on a deadly and dangerous mission, Narcissa Malfoy did one small thing when the Malfoys were on their deathbed -- she went to Severus Snape for help.The fact that Mrs. Malfoy went to Snape for help seemed like a weak and helpless act of caring for her son, but it showed Mrs. Malfoy's shrewdness and true Slytherin survival wisdom.

2. Maximize your son's safety
The chances of Draco Malfoy, an underage student, completing the assassination of Albus Dumbledore, a powerful wizard who could stand up to Voldemort, are almost zero.Draco alone to assassinate Dumbledore's behavior, It is almost impossible for Draco to assassinate dumbledore aloneThe chances of success in either case are infinitely close to zero.For the Malfoys, Voldemort's order to kill them was not so much about the leader giving orders to his subordinates as it was about using Dumbledore's knife to kill the only heir of the Malfoys.For Lucius Malfoy had messed up a succession of great things for Voldemort: he had lost Voldemort's precious horcrux;In the department of mysteries, he failed to retrieve the vital prophecy for Voldemort.Limited to the Malfoy family is still extremely important to the death eater camp, Lucius himself is still captured in the action, Voldemort is not good to punish the Malfoy family, but in the heart of the angry Voldemort will not want to let go of Malfoy after a series of big mistakes.So he gave Draco the task in plain sight, slipped him into his shoes, and borrowed Dumbledore's knife to kill the only heir of the Malfoys.At the beginning of his mission, the young, spirited Draco was complacent that he had been sent on such an important mission because Voldemort had taken him seriously.Mrs. Malfoy, who had seen much more than the underage Draco, knew from the news that the task was too dangerous for him to accomplish.In order to keep her precious son safe, Mrs. Malfoy would have to seek a fair amount of foreign aid for him, which Severus Snape did.

3.Severus Snape: enough foreign aid
Voldemort's decision to send Draco to kill Dumbledore was the death eaters' top secret, and the whole affair was highly classified, not many people on the death eaters' side knew about it.When Draco takes over, Voldemort will not allow his men to divulge information about the mission.The Malfoys didn't have many people to turn to, even if they did.Moreover, even those who knew about the mission had to be able to sneak into Hogwarts to be of any real help.Just as Narcissa Malfoy's own sister, Bellatrix Lestrange, was the most trusted and powerful of Voldemort's forces, she could not easily infiltrate Hogwarts and could do little to help.This was a sign of Mrs Malfoy's shrewdness. The only person Voldemort trusted enough to be able to work within Hogwarts was Severus Snape.Although Voldemort wanted to punish the Malfoys, he did not mind if the Malfoys sought foreign help within their personal permission.Even better, Snape himself was the real force behind Voldemort's assassination.Whether Narcissa went to him or not, he would finish the task.Narcissa this time to find him, is to ensure Draco's safety into the unbreakable oath, for the son's safety to win the most reliable guarantee.With Severus Snape's full support and protection, Draco's safety would be much more secure and his task much easier.

4.The masterstroke: take Bellatrix Lestrange with her on a visit
In a stroke of genius, Mrs Malfoy took her sister Bellatrix with her to visit Snape in spidertail lane.For one thing, Bellatrix was the person Voldemort trusted most, and by taking Bella with her, she was showing Voldemort her position and loyalty -- the Malfoys would serve their master, even if they had their own plans in the middle, and would not dare to disobey your orders.Alternatively, Bella could use her strength and her distrust of Snape to put pressure on Snape to do something about it.In Bella's run and his own sale to help, Snape agreed to help, the two sides made an unbreakable oath.

5.The Malfoys benefited immensely from a single incident
Lucius Malfoy had done a succession of terrible things for Voldemort, and in Voldemort's case, the Malfoys were blacklisted.Voldemort did not say it, but in his temper he would have done it.Whether or not Draco accomplishes the mission to assassinate Dumbledore, the Malfoys' future is not in the CARDS.Whether Voldemort's side won the wizarding war or not, the assassination of Dumbledore was the last thing on the Malfoys' minds.If Draco had done the job, and the order had won, Draco's killing of Dumbledore would have been enough to wipe out the Malfoys.Even if Mrs. Malfoy had given Harry more cover, it would not have been enough to cleanse him of the crime of killing Dumbledore.And if Voldemort's side eventually wins, those who enjoy the feat of killing Dumbledore are also, to the heart of Voldemort, the most intolerable of those who have done so.Even if the elder wand was not involved, Voldemort would have purged the man afterwards.For the sake of the Malfoy family's future, it seemed to Narcissa that the Malfoys had nothing to do with the assassination of Dumbledore.Even if Draco had been named by Voldemort as a duckling to be put on the market, Mrs. Malfoy would have to find someone of sufficient weight to play the leading role for Draco, trying to minimize the involvement of the Malfoy family, in order to give the Malfoy family a chance to survive.In fact, the fact that the Malfoys survived the final war at the end of "Harry potter" was a testament to Mrs. Malfoy's shrewdness.With Snape's help, Draco did not have to bear the guilt of killing Dumbledore and the hot credit.For his part, having witnessed Dumbledore's death, Harry would not have hated Draco for being so soft at the last minute.As far as Voldemort was concerned, Dumbledore had indeed been killed, and Draco's task was over, and he would not have been so hard on the underage child.
