Chapter 425 Malfoy
Wiltshire, England - Malfoy Manor.
Voldemort was sitting at the head of the long table in the living room, resting his eyes, while Lucius Malfoy, the original owner of the manor, was standing beside him with a slight hunchback, looking like a servant.
Lucius's expression was very solemn. It had been more than a year since Voldemort moved into his manor and set it as the new command post for the Death Eaters.
During this year, their family could be said to be living in a nightmare every day.
Especially after those lunatics who escaped from Azkaban came here!
Those lunatics had been tortured by the Dementors of Azkaban and were insane. They were crazy and sloppy, and they pursued enjoyment to the extreme. They
acted recklessly in Malfoy Manor, and from time to time they would go crazy and cause great damage. The Malfoy Manor, which was originally magnificent, had now been completely turned into a huge gloomy haunted house by these people.
As the former owner of this manor and Voldemort's steward, he could only do his best to satisfy them, which caused him heavy losses.
But these were nothing. The most terrible thing was the one sitting on the chair now, his master - Voldemort!
Strictly speaking, Voldemort's exploitation of him was not too serious. At least he did not treat his family as pigs and dogs.
But as long as he saw that pale snake face, Lucius could not help but feel a chill. His son was even more exaggerated. He had nightmares every night since he saw Voldemort in his home.
Thinking of this, Lucius sighed imperceptibly, and then looked up at Voldemort on the side.
He had to do this action every ten minutes. There was no way. If Voldemort found out that he was slacking off, he would inevitably be hit by a heart-piercing wrist bone, which would be a bad taste.
But he was not very worried about this, because Voldemort had been sitting there with his eyes closed for a long time and should not suddenly notice him.
But when he looked at Voldemort this time, he was surprised to find that, without knowing when, the corner of Voldemort's mouth actually rose slightly.
Moreover, the arc was still expanding, and even the sharp white teeth in his mouth were exposed!
Lucius got goose bumps all over his body, and he lowered his head again in horror, not daring to move!
But Voldemort suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the dark living room in front of him, and laughed coldly!
This shrill laughter like a night owl echoed in the empty living room, and Lucius' body couldn't help but tremble slightly!
"Lucius!" Suddenly, Voldemort spoke, "Where is your son?"
"He... He is sleeping, master."
Lucius' voice began to tremble. He didn't know why Voldemort suddenly mentioned his son, but he knew very well that it would definitely not be a good thing!
"Call him over!"
Hearing this, Lucius' body trembled even more. He raised his voice and retorted, regardless of the punishment he might receive later:
"Master, he is a child..."
"Call him over!"
The smile on Voldemort's face suddenly disappeared. He stared coldly at the white-haired middle-aged man in front of him. The strong pressure forced Lucius's spine to bend even more.
"Yes... yes, Master."
Finally, Lucius bowed his body and walked out of the living room, while Voldemort stared at the empty living room, and a smile appeared on his face again!
Just now, through the connection with the Horcrux, he witnessed the whole process of Dumbledore being cursed and attacked!
Yes, that's right, the entire Gaunt old house is actually a trap set by Voldemort to catch prey, and the resurrection stone ring that has been made into a Horcrux is the piece of meat used as bait!
Just like Dumbledore knows his former student very well, Voldemort himself also knows Dumbledore, his former teacher, very well.
He knew very well that the biggest difference between Dumbledore and himself was that he still had feelings and love.
This made him strong, but it also made him weak!
Family, this is the pain that Dumbledore will never forget! In order to see his family again, the Resurrection Stone means something different to Dumbledore.
He was almost sure! Dumbledore couldn't help but put it on the moment he saw the Resurrection Stone!
In order to prevent accidents, he even specially transformed the Resurrection Stone ring, giving it a powerful ability to confuse, and allowing the soul inside to take the initiative to protect the Horcrux itself, instead of being protected by the Horcrux like an ordinary Horcrux.
The result of this was very good, and Dumbledore did something stupid!
Even if the curse on the ring could not kill Dumbledore immediately, it would greatly reduce his magical power. It can be said that Dumbledore is now an old waste and no longer an obstacle to himself!
Some people may say that such behavior is crazy, after all, it is a Horcrux! A powerful Horcrux made by the soul split from itself, which can give its owner eternal life!
But for Voldemort, using a Horcrux to exchange for the death of an old rival was extremely worthwhile.
After all, he actually had five more Horcruxes of the same kind! Of
course, there were not that many Horcruxes left. According to his perception, the only Horcruxes that were still effective were his diary and Slytherin's locket.
As for the other Horcruxes, they were all destroyed, even the Hufflepuff cup that he had stored in Bellatrix's vault!
This made Voldemort angry. Although he knew that this had little to do with Bellatrix, he still punished Bellatrix severely to vent his anger!
Voldemort knew that Bellatrix was a psychopath. If he tortured this guy with Cruciatus, she might even laugh out loud. So the punishment he used was also very special, that is, snubbing. That's
right, Voldemort had been snubbing Bellatrix for a short time, and the effect of this behavior was very good. Now Bellatrix was almost dying of discomfort!
This made Voldemort happy, but it was not enough to offset the rage in his heart!
McTownley! Harry Potter!
The former not only killed his most loyal servant, but also sent the swordsman to destroy his most precious Horcrux Nagini! Not to mention that he almost obstructed his action to obtain the prophecy ball!
Any of these three things is enough for him to die thousands of times!
But the guy's whereabouts are strange and unpredictable. He can't catch his whereabouts outside the school at all, and in Hogwarts, there is Dumbledore, the old immortal, protecting him.
As for the latter, it is even more outrageous. He has a blood curse cast on him by his mother, which makes him unable to touch him at all before he comes of age!
But Harry Potter is a person he must kill, which is what the prophecy ball clearly tells him-only one of them can survive!
However, Voldemort was very upset about this matter, but it is different now. Dumbledore is almost dead!
Now he is the king of the whole of Europe! And without Dumbledore's protection, the boy named Mike has only one way to go!
Thinking of this, the smile on Voldemort's face became more and more crazy!
This scene was also seen by Lucius and Draco who were driven to the living room.
"Father... Father."
Draco held his father's hand, and his voice contained infinite fear!
Although he often talked about Voldemort with others at school, when he really faced Voldemort, he was only afraid!
It was at this time that he really understood that he and Voldemort were not the same kind of people at all!
Lucius naturally sensed his son's fear, but he said nothing, just held his son's hand tightly, then took a deep breath and pulled Draco towards Voldemort.
"Master."
Lucius lowered his head and called softly, and Draco beside him followed suit, lowering his head and not daring to look at Voldemort at all.
"Oh! Little Draco is here!" Voldemort laughed and called, "Come here and let me take a good look at you!"
Draco stood there motionless as if he hadn't heard it, until Lucius poked him with his elbow and he shuddered violently.
"Yes, Vol... Voldemort."
Draco walked up to Voldemort tremblingly.
And his appearance really made Voldemort frown.
"Why, are you afraid of me?"
Draco's pupils shrank suddenly, and his expression became extremely terrified.
Although it was only a day off, he had already seen Voldemort use the method of Cruciatus Cruciatus on his subordinates at any time, and he didn't want to try it!
"No! It's not like that!" Lucius answered, "Draco, he... he is just too excited. He has admired you since he was a child and regards you as an idol, so he is so nervous now!"
"I'm asking Draco! Not you! Lucius!"
As soon as Voldemort said this, Lucius immediately lowered his head.
He knew very well that his behavior of answering was disrespectful to Voldemort, and it was foreseeable that Voldemort would definitely punish him cruelly in a while.
But there was nothing he could do. If he didn't answer, then his son might be punished, which Lucius could not tolerate!
However, Voldemort seemed to be in a good mood today. He did not punish Lucius. Instead, he turned around and smiled at Draco, saying,
"Is your father right?"
"Yes! That's right!" Draco nodded instantly, "You are my idol. I have always wanted to be a qualified Death Eater like my father!"
As soon as Draco said this, Voldemort immediately laughed.
"Hahaha, good boy!" Voldemort gently stroked Draco's platinum hair, and the latter's body trembled even more. "In this case, I will fulfill your wish and let you become a Death Eater."
Hearing this, Draco raised his head in disbelief, while Lucius on the side closed his eyes in despair.
He knew very well that becoming a Death Eater was definitely not a good thing for Draco now. If he could, he really wanted to stop it, but it was too late now.
"Come on."
Voldemort said softly, stretching out his hand to Draco.
Looking at the pale claw in front of him, Draco instinctively looked at his father, but saw that he closed his eyes and said nothing!
Gritting his teeth, Draco finally made up his mind and reached out to hold Voldemort's hand!
"Good boy."
Voldemort said as he raised his wand and pointed it at Draco's arm.
"Puff!"
With a sound like a branding iron burning flesh, a dark magic mark appeared on Draco's arm!
This process was undoubtedly painful. Draco was already sweating profusely at this moment, but he endured it without crying out.
This scene was all seen by Voldemort. He nodded with satisfaction, took out a notebook from his arms and handed it to Draco.
"Take it, this is my newborn gift for you!"
Draco took the notebook in a daze. At this moment, he had already been frightened and lost the ability to deal with things.
Lucius beside him opened his mouth in shock. Draco didn't know, but he did!
The notebook given by Voldemort was his own notebook for practicing magic. It contained a lot of powerful black magic, and its value was completely inestimable!
Lucius' heart suddenly became hot. Voldemort's giving this notebook to Draco showed how much he valued Draco.
'This is an opportunity for our Malfoy family! '
Lucius couldn't help thinking so.
But Lucius's good mood didn't last long, because Voldemort said after giving him the notebook:
"Draco, I have a task for you."
"Task?"
"A task that is extremely difficult for you now, but as long as you can study the knowledge in this notebook well, then this task will become extremely simple." Voldemort said in a very bewitching voice, "How about it, are you willing to accept it?"
Draco swallowed his saliva, clenched the notebook in his hand and asked nervously:
"Can you tell me what kind of mission it is?"
"Hehe." Voldemort laughed meaningfully, and then whispered in Draco's ear, "Sneak into Hogwarts and assassinate McTominay and Dumbledore."
"Assassinate...assassinate Dumbledore!"
Draco couldn't help but scream out. He really couldn't imagine that the first mission Voldemort gave him would become so difficult.
Lucius, who was standing beside him, was also shocked when he heard this, but before he could say anything, Voldemort's expression changed and he said coldly:
"Why, you don't want to?"
As soon as Voldemort finished speaking, Draco felt a sharp pain from the Dark Mark on his arm, which made him almost fall to the ground in pain.
"I do! I do!"
Draco covered his arm and screamed. He really couldn't stand this pain.
Hearing this, Voldemort finally smiled, gently helped Draco up from the ground and said,
"Good boy, concentrate on studying the knowledge in this notebook this summer. Remember, don't let me down."
