During the communication with Draco, Cyrus also understood the cause and effect.
At that time, Cyrus turned into Draco and found the owl of the Malfoy family. The owl did not recognize that the Malfoy in front of it was not Malfoy, so it flew to Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire with the letter.
He was afraid that Lucius Malfoy would not obey his orders, so when he wrote the letter, he clearly hinted that Draco's fate was in his hands, and asked Lucius to cooperate with him to expel Dumbledore from the school.
As a result, when Lucius and Narcissa received the letter from their "son", they immediately panicked, which led to misunderstandings.
Let’s go back to the Christmas days.
Malfoy Manor, Wiltshire.
"It's Christmas already, it's time for them to calm down!" Narcissa's face was full of unhappiness. This temperament destroyed her original beauty and made her look like someone who was not easy to approach.
But it was not her fault. The Ministry of Magic had been looking for trouble with them this year, trying to find the dark magic items hidden by the Malfoy family. Although Lucius had secretly dealt with the most difficult batch, the Malfoy family had not been a good guy in the magic world for so many years. Unless the entire manor was turned into an empty shell, there was no way to deal with it.
And her beloved son, it was because of the continuous search that Lucius decided to let Draco spend Christmas at school this year. Narcissa was naturally unhappy that she couldn't see her eldest son during the hard-earned holiday.
"I've put pressure on the Daily Prophet and the Ministry of Magic. Fortunately, Arthur Weasley has a stupid son, and there's that Harry Potter -"
Lucius would naturally not sit idly by when faced with Weasley's targeting.
Arthur Weasley, huh? If you mess with me, I won't make it easy for you!
In fact, he had started it during the summer vacation. He remembered a diary that Voldemort had given him to keep. The diary looked like something from the Muggle world, and if it hadn't been left by that person for him to keep, he would have thrown it away as trash.
Lucius remembered that he seemed to have asked the Dark Lord why he let him keep a notebook from the Muggle world?
The Dark Lord's answer at the time was: The diary is the key to the Chamber of Secrets.
If the Dark Lord was still alive, Lucius would never dare to hand over the diary, but now, the Dark Lord has disappeared for eleven years. In this case, why not use this diary to cause a little trouble to the Weasley family?
After that, he did not let go of the flying car incident. Not only did he contact the newspaper to make a big deal about it, he also paid bribes to some officials in the Ministry of Magic who had a good relationship with him, getting Arthur Weasley into trouble.
Now, the annoying and endless search was finally over.
"Do you want to go to Hogwarts and bring Draco back?" Narcissa said a little worriedly. "The last time Draco wrote back, he said that there was an attack in the school. I'm afraid the Chamber of Secrets has really been opened. I'm worried that he will be in danger if he stays in the school."
Lucius hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "It was only a Mudblood who was attacked. Draco will not be in danger. I have already written to him to keep his face away from the public. He knows very little about this matter, so it will be fine."
It's not impossible to go and bring Draco home, but Draco will be the successor of the Malfoy family in the future, so he shouldn't be so pretentious.
As they were talking, they saw a shadow flying in the sky.
"Didn't Draco send the letter a few days ago?" Narcissa couldn't wait to take the letter from the owl and opened it. After a few seconds, her already pale face immediately became even paler. She covered her mouth in fear, and her whole body seemed to be shaky.
"What's the matter?"
Lucius had a bad feeling in his heart, and quickly took the letter and read it:
My dear servant, Lucius Malfoy: I am so sorry, Lucius. Did you forget my powers when I disappeared from everyone's sight for a while? Otherwise, how dare you send away the things I asked you to keep? I think you probably think that the Dark Lord is dead, defeated by a baby who can't even walk, as countless people say, so you are eager to distance yourself from him?
“——” Lucius only read the first paragraph, and his breathing became short. He couldn’t stop shaking, and he slowly said, “He’s back… He’s back…”
Then he continued to watch with fear.
I have to admit that my current condition is not very good, but it is still easy to kill a few people.
Now, I need you to do something to make up for your mistakes. It's not too hard - just kick Dumbledore out of school! Also, have a merry Christmas.
The letter, which contained only a few words, made Lucius and Narcissa look deathly pale.
"Is it really him? It can't be him!" Narcissa said in fear, "He has disappeared for eleven years, how could he come back!" She was unwilling to accept the fact that her son was in danger at this moment.
But Lucius knew very well that, apart from Voldemort himself, no one else knew about the diary.
"There is still a chance - there is still a chance to redeem myself!" He immediately came out of his fear. Lucius knew Voldemort's character. If he did his task well enough, he might be able to avoid punishment, and Draco would not be in danger.
"The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. If Dumbledore can't find the murderer, I can use my power as a school director to expel him from Hogwarts!" Lucius already had a plan in mind, but he needed some bargaining chips to convince the school director.
"The number of victims must be increased! How can one Mudblood be enough? Draco must do this. The Dark Lord is not dead yet. Only in this way will he reward Draco!"
"Dobby—!"
"I am here, Master..."
A house-elf covered in scars appeared in front of Lucius, looking at Lucius Malfoy with fear and tentative eyes.
Lucius was too lazy to care why it had so many more scars. Now, there was only one thing he wanted to do, and that was to complete the Dark Lord's mission and prevent Draco from getting into danger.
"Dobby, I want you to go to Hogwarts, find Ginny Weasley, steal a black diary and hand it over to Draco. Then, give him this letter." Lucius wrote another letter.
