Chapter 503 Unfortunate Master Malfoy

No matter how many inside stories are hidden behind Helen's back, this is not the most important thing right now. Maca spent so much time and energy this time, and even paid a certain price, that he managed to make himself appear at this point in time. He didn't come to listen to Helen's storytelling.

At the moment, he still has things waiting for him to complete. In order to satisfy himself in the final outcome, he must focus his attention again and completely transform the rule rune annotations obtained from the Bewitching Monument into his own knowledge .

After a short rest, he ignored Helen's questioning, and threw himself on the pages of the notebook with all his heart.

And while he was immersed in his research, Dumbledore's public funeral was getting closer day by day. Hogwarts and the village of Hogsmeade not far from the castle also gradually welcomed batch after batch of guests, and everywhere they saw was crowded.

Funerals are always a heart-wrenching group event. Even if the people who came may not all come to mourn, once they are placed in such an occasion, they will be more or less infected due to the change of 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 one among them.

People in the world often say that the family atmosphere often brings changes to children, and the temperament of parents often affects the way children handle things in a subtle way.

But this is all based on the premise that the child's world view has not yet formed, and the independent judgment ability is not yet sufficient.

In the past, Draco was indeed influenced by his parents a lot, especially his sloppy father Lucius, who usually puts his own interests first in his behavior and is a full-fledged speculator.

Perhaps many people in the wizarding world believe that Lucius Malfoy sided with Voldemort because he supported the theory of pure blood supremacy. But in fact, what he cared about was not the interests of pure blood, but only the interests of his Malfoy family.

However, whether it was the original Dumbledore and Voldemort, or the later Maca and Voldemort, where is the place where they confront each other so well?

With such a father who is not capable enough but has a strong heart, Draco is really under a lot of pressure.

However, something like pressure can sometimes overwhelm a person, and sometimes it can also make a person grow.

After Voldemort forced Lucius to take his side, the Malfoys never had a moment's peace. With the recent intensification of open and secret battles between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters, and as Voldemort's manpower has been drastically reduced again and again, Lucius has no choice but to stand on the front line against the Order of the Phoenix.

Yes, it is exactly right to say that it is struggle.

Voldemort was frustrated by Maca's plan several times, which caused his reputation to decline continuously. He, who had not enough power in the first place, was already a bit stretched to do things. And he didn't want to easily send out the Black Death Apostles, after all, if there were no Black Death Apostles, he really wouldn't dare to appear in front of Maca at will.

Because of this, Lucius, who originally contributed more money than effort, was forced to go to the streets and alleys to show his skills recently.

But for a character like Lucius, how can Voldemort, who is not yet confused, feel at ease? As a result, Draco and his mother Narcissa became a pair of hostages.

For example, during this Christmas holiday, Draco could see that crazy woman Bellatrix as soon as he came home. That woman not only has a perverted and fierce personality, but also has a good magical power. Last time, she almost used the Cruciatus Curse on him!

Occasionally, just occasionally, Voldemort would spend a day or two at the Malfoy Manor. Although Voldemort was handsome, he was even gentle when he saw him. But he, Draco, is not a fool. How could he not know that this seemingly kind guy is actually a murderous Dark Lord?

In this environment, Draco quickly taught himself the skill of observing words and emotions without a teacher, and became more low-key on weekdays. Of course, he would try not to go back to that home if he could.

Not long after Christmas,

He packed his luggage and planned to sneak back to Hogwarts... No, Hogwarts still has that McLean there, so he better not go there.

It's sad to think about it, it's precisely because his father has been a scumbag for a while, that now there are no people at both ends of his Malfoy family. At school, students from the other three colleges would not give him good looks; at home, Voldemort and Bellatrix made him worry all day long.

This kind of life is really difficult!

However, just as he sneakily opened the door of his house, he heard a voice suddenly appearing behind him, which made him froze in fright.

Draco, Christmas is just over and the holidays are still long! Where are you going?

Just by hearing the voice, she knew it was Bellatrix, the old woman, Voldemort's most loyal follower!

I...I want to go to Diagon Alley and ask Mr. Ollivander to check the wand... Draco suddenly forced himself to calm down, and pressed his left hand on the right hand that was carrying the box. After the curse, it just hasn't been quite right.

It's a pity that both of his hands are trembling now, no matter which hand he uses, he can't hold it down.

Oh? I don't think it's about the Cruciatus Curse. Bellatrix swayed to Draco's side as if dancing, Or, actually, your wand prefers Imperius. curse?

The experience of being imprisoned in Azkaban for a long time made this crazy witch even more unusual, and she often made some exaggerated actions on her own. In her own words, this is dancing to the glory of the master, but it is a sign of insanity no matter how you look at it.

No, it's not about the charm...I think...Keradon would be better.

With these dark wizards together, after a long time, he also understood how to speak. Bellatrix seemed to feel more comfortable answering that way - at least Draco felt so.

Sure enough, the crazy woman burst into laughter, the laughter was like a vulture in the wilderness seeing a dead body, it was piercing but full of inexplicable joy.

After Draco laughed dryly along with Bellatrix for a while, he tightened the suitcase in his hand and put away that inexplicable smile a little bit.

...Well, Miss Black... can I go? Draco knew that calling her by Bellatrix's family name would sometimes make her happier, for example, her husband is not When I was there, When I change to a more powerful wand, I will be able to see the more painful expressions of others... That... that feeling must be very sweet.

Oh?

Bellatrix looked him up and down with a you're finally getting it look, then laughed even louder.

That's right! Hahaha...that's right, when we see the enemy lying at our feet crying in pain, that's the moment we enjoy the most! Sweet, indeed sweet! Ahahaha...

Seeing that the crazy woman couldn't stop laughing, Draco secretly looked left and right, and tried to move a step towards the door. The crazy woman obviously saw it, but she didn't stop it—it seems that there is hope for escape today!

But who knew, the moment he turned around to leave, another voice made him stop again, not even daring to move.

Something wrong with the wand? said the gentle voice softly. It's not like having to go to Ollivander... maybe I can help you take a look, 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 drilled down his spine all the way to his scalp.

For a while, he couldn't even come up with the excuse he had prepared.

Draco, is it really going to Diagon Alley? Voldemort slowly walked out from the corridor beside the foyer, and asked softly, Since we are going to Diagon Alley, why not go to the fireplace?

When Draco heard it, his heart trembled suddenly. yes! Why doesn't he use Floo powder? Even if the line connecting their house to Hogsmeade has been disconnected, he can go to Diagon Alley first and then go there?

Now he ran directly outside, didn't it obviously make people suspicious?

Draco, who was regretting his stupidity, couldn't even say a word.

Do you want to go back to Hogwarts? Voldemort walked up to Draco, looking at him calmly, his eyes with black flames fixed on Draco's Binocular, Now is a rare Christmas holiday... Your mother will be very sad if you leave?

Hearing Voldemort's words, Draco immediately pursed his lips and lowered his eyes slightly.

Although his mother, Narcissa Malfoy, was extremely arrogant on weekdays, when she was with this son, she was full of pampering. To be honest, she may not be a qualified mother, but she is still a mother who loves her children deeply.

Just a few days ago, when Bellatrix wanted to give Draco a Christmas gift, it was Narcissa who stopped it from happening. Otherwise, if a Cruciatus Curse goes on, the taste... I am afraid that Draco will never forget this Christmas this year in his life.

Lord Dark Lord, you are right... I'm not going anywhere. Draco lowered his head slightly and said sullenly.

However, Voldemort looked at him and pondered for a moment, which made Draco's heart rise again. Seeing that the Dark Lord did not speak, he was obviously even more flustered, for fear that he would lose his life if he was not careful.

Just staying at home for a few days, he has witnessed several moments of death. It is not easy for him to still stand here now.

No, you can go... At this moment, Voldemort suddenly said, Not only are you going, but you also have to show up at Dumbledore's funeral, understand?
