Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 503: Unfortunate Master Malfoy
No matter how much inside information is hidden behind Helen, this is not the most important thing right now. Maca spent so much time and energy this time, and even paid a certain price, so that he succeeded in making himself appear at this point in time. He was not here to listen to Helen's story.
At the moment, he still has things waiting for him to complete. In order to satisfy himself with the final outcome, he must focus his attention again and completely transform the rule rune annotations obtained from the Monument of Bewitching into Own knowledge.
After a short break, he ignored Helen's questioning and threw himself on the pages of the notebook.
And while he was immersed in research, Dumbledore's public funeral was approaching one day again. Hogwarts and the village of Hogsmeade, not far from the castle, also gradually welcomed batches of guests, and everything they saw was crowded.
Funerals are always a heavy group activity. Even if the people who came may not always come for mourning, once you are in this kind of occasion, you will be more or less affected by the change in the atmosphere.
For example, the young master of the Malfoy family, who has become more and more low-key in recent years, is the most typical of them.
People in the world often say that the family atmosphere often brings changes to children, and the nature of parents often influences their children's way of doing things in a subtle way.
But this is all based on the premise that the child's worldview has not yet formed, and the ability of independent judgment is still insufficient.
Draco was indeed influenced a lot by his parents in the past, especially his horrible father Lucius. He usually puts his own interests first and is a full-fledged speculator.
Perhaps many people in the magical world think that Lucius Malfoy came to Voldemort because of his support for the pure-blood supremacy theory. But in fact, what he cares about is not the interests of pure blood, but the interests of his Malfoy family alone.
However, whether it was the first Dumbledore and Voldemort, or the later Maca and Voldemort, where is the place where they are confronted?
With such a father who is not capable, but not small, Draco's pressure is really not small.
But stress can sometimes crush people, but sometimes they can also grow.
After Voldemort forced Lucius to stand on his side, the Malfoy's house was never at peace for a moment. As the battle between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters has become more fierce recently, as Voldemort's manpower has been decimated time and time again, Lucius has had to stand on the front line against the Order of the Phoenix.
Yes, it's true to say "struggle".
Voldemort frustrated Maca's plan several times, resulting in his declining reputation. He, who was already inadequate in power, was already somewhat stretched to do things. And he didn't want to send the Black Death easily, after all, if there were no Black Death, he really didn't dare to appear in front of Maca casually now.
Because of this, Lucius, who had originally paid more than worked, has recently been forced to go to the streets and alleys to show off his skills.
But for a character like Lucius, how can Voldemort, who hasn't been confused yet, feel relieved? As a result, Draco and his mother Narcissa faintly became a pair of hostages.
Like this Christmas holiday, Draco will see the crazy woman Bellatrix as soon as he gets home. That woman not only has a consistently surly and vicious personality, but also has a good magical power. She almost used a heart-breaking spell on him last time!
Occasionally, only occasionally, and occasionally Voldemort would go to Malfoy’s residence for a day or two. Although Voldemort was handsome, he was gentle in words and deeds even when he saw him. But Draco wasn't a fool. How could he not know that this seemingly kind fellow was actually a dark lord who didn't blink?
In this environment, Draco quickly taught himself the skills of observing words and expressions, and he became more low-key on weekdays. Of course, he could not go back to that home as much as possible.
Not long after Christmas passed, he packed up his luggage and planned to sneak back to Hogwarts... No, there is still that McLean at Hogwarts, so he had better not go there either.
It's sad to think about it, because his old man has been a turf for a while, so that now his Malfoy family is not human. In school, the students of the other three colleges would not give him a good face; at home, Voldemort and Bellatrix made him fearful all day.
This kind of life is really difficult!
However, just as he secretly opened the door of his house, he heard a sudden voice behind him, which made him froze.
"Draco, it's just over Christmas and the holidays are still long! Where are you going?"
Listen to the voice and know that it is the old woman of Bellatrix, Voldemort's most loyal follower!
"I...I want to go to Diagon Alley and find Mr. Ollivander to check the wand..." Draco immediately forced himself to calm down and pressed his left hand against the right hand carrying the box. "Since the last time After practicing the spell, it has not been quite right."
It's a pity that both his hands are trembling now, no matter which hand he presses, he can't hold it down.
"Oh? I don't think it's a question of the piercing curse." Bellatrix wobbled to Draco's side as if dancing. "Or, in fact, your wand is more Like Imperius?"
The experience of being imprisoned in Azkaban for a long time has made this crazy witch even more uncommon, and will often make some exaggerated actions on her own. In her own words, this is dancing to the glory of the host, but it is a sign of mental disorder in any way.
"No, it's not a problem with the spell...I think... the spell will be more beautiful."
With them, the dark wizards, after a long time, I understood how to talk. With that answer, Bellatrix seemed to feel more comfortable—at least Draco felt so.
Sure enough, the mad woman laughed wildly, the laughter was like a vulture in the wilderness seeing a corpse, sharp and ear-piercing with inexplicable joy.
After Draco followed Bellatrix and laughed dryly for a while, he tightened the suitcase in his hand and put away the unknown smile a little bit.
"...Well, Miss Black...may I go?" Draco knew that calling her by Bellatrix's family name would make her happier sometimes, such as now When her husband was not present, "When I change to a stronger wand, I will be able to see the more painful expressions of others...that...that must feel very sweet."
"Oh?"
Bellatrix looked at him up and down with a look of "you kid finally got the hang of it," and then laughed louder.
"Yes! Hahaha...yes, it is our most enjoyable moment when we see the enemy lying at our feet wailing in pain! Sweet, indeed sweet! Ahahaha..."
Seeing that the mad woman couldn't stop laughing, Draco looked around secretly, already trying to take a step towards the door under his feet. The mad woman obviously saw it, but she didn't stop it—it seems hopeful to escape today!
But who knows, the moment he turned and wanted to go, another voice made him stop again, and he didn't even dare to move.
"What's the problem with the wand?" the gentle voice said softly, "It's better to go to Ollivander... Maybe I can take a look for you, Draco."
It's Voldemort! Oh no... it should be... the Dark Lord!
"I..."
In an instant, he realized who the owner of this voice was. At the same time, a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to his back, and went down the spine to his scalp.
For a while, he couldn't even tell the excuse he had prepared.
"Draco, did you really go to Diagon Alley?" Voldemort slowly walked out of the corridor beside the hall, and asked softly, "Since you are going to Diagon Alley, why don't you go to Diagon Alley?"
When Draco heard it, his heart trembled suddenly. Yes! Why doesn't he use Floo fans? Even if the line connecting their home to Hogsmeade has been disconnected~IndoMTL.com~ Can he go to Diagon Alley first and turn there?
Now that he is running straight out, isn't it obvious to make people suspicious?
Draco, who was regretting his stupidity, couldn't say a word.
"Do you want to go back to Hogwarts?" Voldemort paced up to Draco, looked at him with a calm face, and stared straight at De with the dark flames in his eyes. Laco's eyes, "It's a rare Christmas holiday now...you are gone, will your mother be very sad?"
Hearing Voldemort's words, Draco tightened his lips and lowered his eyes slightly.
His mother Narcissa Malfoy is very arrogant, but when she is with this son, she is full of pampering. To be honest, she may not be a qualified mother, but she is still a mother who loves her child deeply.
Just a few days ago, when Bellatrix wanted to give Draco a "Christmas gift", it was Narcissa who prevented it from happening. Otherwise, it would feel like going on with the curse... I'm afraid Draco will never forget this Christmas this year in his life.
"Dark Lord, you are right...I'm not going anywhere." Draco lowered his head slightly, dullly.
However, Voldemort watched him ponder for a moment, causing Draco's heart to lift up again. Seeing that the Dark Lord didn't speak, he was obviously more flustered, for fear that he would lose his life if he didn't pay attention.
Just staying at home for a few days, he has witnessed the moment of death several times. Now that he can still stand here, it is already very difficult.
"No, you can go..." At this moment, Voldemort suddenly said, "You not only want to go, but you also have to show up at Dumbledore's funeral, understand?"
