Chapter 630 The new owner of the Elder Wand and a safe prison robbery plan
·
Jing Shen Tian Si
"Severus?" Narcissa and Lucius said in unison.
The two looked surprised. If Severus became the master of the Elder Wand, then Voldemort might not let him go, otherwise he would not be able to make the Elder Wand surrender.
"It's better to pretend not to know about this matter," Lucius said.
Narcissa and Draco both nodded. Severus had a good relationship with the Malfoy family, and he also made an unbreakable oath to protect Draco during the mission to assassinate Dumbledore. They remembered this kindness in their hearts.
"That's a good realization." 'Gandalf' clapped his hands, and then changed the subject, "But things about the Elder Wand may be a little different from what you think.
Severus Snape did kill Dumbledore, but he was not the master of the Elder Wand because before that Dumbledore was defeated by a man who knocked off his wand with a disarming spell. "
Rumble!
Lucius and Narcissa were stunned.
The two of them looked at their son in bewilderment, as if they had lost the ability to speak, and they were anxious but unable to say anything.
"Is it me?" Draco was about to cry without tears, his face was frighteningly pale, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.
Damn it!This joke is too big!
"Be confident and remove the word '?', and you will be the new owner of the Elder Wand."
"I am not." Draco stood up staggeringly, speaking incoherently in fear, "I am not the master of the Elder Wand."
Narcissa hugged him tightly, wanting to comfort him, but she had nothing to say.
They had no ability to hide this matter. At that time, many Dead Apostles saw Draco knocking down Dumbledore's wand.
What's more, in order to give Draco a place among the Death Eaters, Lucius worked hard to publicize his achievements. Not everyone knew about this, but it was pretty much it.
"Sir, what should we do?" Narcissa looked at 'Gandalf' anxiously and begged with a choked voice: "Please save my son. He is innocent. He has never done anything bad."
"As long as we can save Draco, we can do anything." Lucius also said immediately.
Facing Voldemort, he could be obedient, and he could give up his property, status, and even dignity, but as a son like Draco, he simply couldn't bear the pain of losing a son.
"I just made it very clear, I want you to betray the Dark Lord." 'Gandalf' picked up the teacup and took a sip, "You don't have to worry for the time being.
Voldemort didn't know much about the Deathly Hallows, and perhaps he didn't know the rules for identifying the owner of the Elder Wand. "
"Maybe?" Narcissa smiled sadly, "We can't joke with our son's life."
"Then you have to thank Severus." 'Gandalf' sighed lightly, "He killed Dumbledore, and in a sense he was Draco's shield.
But this is not safe, because even if he kills Snape, he is still not the master of the Elder Wand.
As long as he didn't conquer the Elder Wand for a day, he would never give up thinking about what went wrong. It was only a matter of time before he found out the details of Draco Malfoy shooting down Dumbledore's wand. "
"Speak directly! What do you want us to do?" Narcissa calmed down and asked, "How to betray the Dark Lord?"
She finally recognized the reality. Just like 'Gandalf' said, they had no choice.
Unless Voldemort gives up the elder wand, there is no possibility of relaxation between him and the Malfoy family, and they will fight to the death.
If they want to keep their son, they can only say sorry to Voldemort, not to mention that they have never been truly loyal to Voldemort from beginning to end.
'Gandalf' glanced at her appreciatively, smiled and took out a new paper contract from his bag.
"The first one is to ensure that you will not leak the secret, and the second one is to ensure that you will not betray.
After signing this contract, I can safely tell you my next plan. "
The three of them picked up the contract and scanned it briefly, requesting absolute confidentiality and cooperating with his actions without affecting their own safety.
As for the penalty for breaking the contract... you are not allowed to leave Malfoy Manor for ten years.
"Sign it! There are no conditions that are disadvantageous to us." Lucius was the first to write his name on the contract, and Narcissa and Draco followed suit.
"Very good, Malfoy is one of our own from now on."
"Can you tell us what to do?" Narcissa asked. "Are we going to secretly release Harry Potter?"
"No, this is too hasty." Lucius shook his head hastily, "He is now in our dungeon. It would be our dereliction of duty if he escapes."
"What should we do? Are we going to hand over Harry Potter to the Dark Lord?
You know the prophecy, Harry Potter is the only one who can possibly defeat the Dark Lord.
If he dies, the Dark Lord will have no one to restrain him in a short time, and our family will be done with it sooner or later. "
"You're right, Harry Potter must be released tonight." 'Gandalf' said with a faint smile, "But you can't do this, so leave it to me!"
"Sir, it's not that I don't believe you, but our dungeon is under a special protective spell and cannot be disapparated."
"As long as you are strong enough, you can break through that layer of protection."
"You mean you can?" Lucius asked in surprise.
"I can't." 'Gandalf' shrugged, and then changed the subject, "But the way to escape from the prison is not just Apparition. I have a safer way."
After saying that, 'Gandalf' had a silver-black key in his hand.
"Portkey, just throw it into the dungeon.
No wand required, just trigger it with magic. "
Lucius:......
Lao Liu, this is definitely Lao Liu.
What sane person would carry around a portkey?
"Draco." Lucius looked at his son worriedly, "If you do this, it will be easier to clear your name in the future."
"I didn't say let him go." 'Gandalf' said, "You three will definitely not be able to provide any help in rescuing Harry."
"You're not going to force your way into the dungeon, are you?" Narcissa asked suspiciously, "The Dark Lord values Monse very much, but if you, the master, let his powerful enemy go, Monse's status will probably plummet."
"Don't worry, my method is safe and secure.
Even if the Dark Lord knows the cause and effect of the matter, he will not punish you. "
Snapped!
'Gandalf' snapped his fingers, and a ball of flame appeared above the four people. A fiery red phoenix flew out from it and landed firmly on his shoulder.
"Gollum!"
Draco swallowed and said in disbelief: "Is this Dumbledore's phoenix?"
"Yes."
"Why is it in your hand?"
“That’s not important, what’s important is that the Phoenix can ignore the dungeon’s protective spell.
Let it send the door key in, and even if Harry Potter escapes, the Dark Lord will only think that it was Dumbledore's arrangement in advance.
And in this process, the more people who see Fox appear, the safer your situation will be. "
"Brilliant, really brilliant." Lucius breathed a sigh of relief and let Harry Potter go, but he had nothing to do with them.
"You don't have to worry about Harry Potter, I have something else to say.
The first thing is to keep Draco away from the Dark Lord's sight. He can't stay at home anymore and send him to Hogwarts tomorrow. "
"Can you change the place?" Narcissa asked, "Severus, the Carrow brothers and sisters are all at Hogwarts, and the three Death Eaters are there, just in case..."
"Gaius is also there." 'Gandalf' interrupted, "Since Aaron promised to protect his friends, he will definitely do it.
You can believe me, even if the Dark Lord takes over the British wizarding world, the safest place is still Hogwarts. "
"I'll go." Draco said seriously.
"Know what's interesting!" A look of relief flashed in 'Gandalf''s eyes, "As long as Draco is at Hogwarts, Gaius can guarantee his safety.
Now that the son's problem is solved, it's the parents' turn. "
"What do you want us to do?" Lucius was panicking, but his face was very calm.
He had already thought that 'Gandalf' would definitely ask the couple to do a lot of inexplicably dangerous work, but they had no right to refuse for the sake of their son.
"What happened to you two before, and how will you do after that.
But you have to provide me with some modest help when I need it.
Let's say you recognized Harry Potter tonight, but pretended not to know. "
"This is no problem." Narcissa said, "Is it that simple?"
"Simple?" 'Gandalf' raised his eyebrows and said playfully: "This is not simple at all.
The Malfoy family respects pure blood and is deeply trusted by the Dark Lord. Your words will affect the Dark Lord's decision-making to some extent.
There is a saying that details determine success or failure, and you are the details. "
Lucius and Narcissa looked at each other, both of them confused.
They had to admit that what Gandalf said was very reasonable.
"Also... I have some discernment. I don't expect you to rebel in a serious way, but don't hesitate when it's time to run."
Lucius's heart skipped a beat, "What do you mean?"
"Today, Dumbledore's plan is nearing completion, which means that the decisive battle is coming soon.
Voldemort will undoubtedly be defeated, so you should act accordingly when the time comes. "
"Are you sure the mysterious man will lose?" Lucius asked in confusion.
"If he hadn't set his sights on Gaius, it would be hard to say whether he would win or lose, but who made him ignorant of good and evil!" 'Gandalf' curled his lips disdainfully. Voldemort followed Dumbledore's routine, and He added a layer of solid guardrails to the routine, making it difficult for him to jump out.
Lucius nodded suddenly, and then left the room with his wife and children.
......
A few hours later, Malfoy Manor became particularly peaceful under the thick night.
'Gandalf' yawned and his eyes became serious.
Let's communicate with them using our true identity this time. After all, there is no need to hide it at this point.
The detection ability is activated, and the entire internal structure of Malfoy Manor, including everything within the surrounding ten miles, is within his perception.
The mind passes through the stairs of the hall and enters the dark dungeon.
Harry, Ron, Dean, and Griphook were all awake and seemed worried about the fate of tomorrow. Besides them, there was Luna and an old man.
"Gregovich? It should be him." 'Gandalf' shook his head, and then used his speech ability to communicate with them.
"Who?"
Harry suddenly noticed a voice in his head, and immediately stood up from the cold floor.
"Is anyone here?" Ron asked expectantly.
"No."
"I thought someone was coming to save us."
"Maybe someone really came to save you!"
"Walter..." Ron also heard the voice and became as surprised as Harry.
"You heard that too?"
Ron nodded, "That voice said it was coming to save us."
"I heard that too," Dean said.
"And me." Luna looked confused, "This voice is very familiar, it seems to be... Gaius.
Yes, it's Aaron, he must be right. "
"Why can't we hear it?" Grigovitch asked.
"Maybe it's because you and Griphook are not students at Hogwarts." Luna said thoughtfully, "In other words, he is not familiar with you."
"Who are you?" Harry asked tentatively in a low voice.
"Tsk! It's been half a year since I last saw you and you can't hear my voice anymore. It's really heartbreaking!"
"It's really you!" Ron was overjoyed, "Hermione asked you to save us, right?"
"Otherwise? She was so anxious that she almost cried. I can't just sit back and ignore her!"
"How are you going to save us?" Harry asked eagerly.
"I will deliver the door key to you." Aaron said straightforwardly.
"Portkey? Where is it?" Ron looked around, but the dungeon was still a dungeon, nothing had changed.
"Not now, idiot."
Ron: …
"Harry, you have to tell me that Voldemort will be back tomorrow?"
Harry hesitated for a moment, "Probably not."
"That's good." Aaron breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Tomorrow morning, Bellatrix will come to confirm your identity. Before that, I will ask Fox to return the wand and Gryffindor's sword. The door key will be sent to you."
"Wait, why do you have to wait until tomorrow morning?" Dean asked doubtfully, "It should be safer now!"
"Because you have to escape in front of them." Aaron said seriously, "I need Bellatrix to see the Phoenix appear. Only then will Voldemort believe that it was Dumbledore who saved him. You, this is the only way to avoid involving Draco."
Dean was stunned for a moment and didn't ask any more questions.
He knew about the relationship between Draco and Aaron, and Draco had not identified Harry before. This alone proved that he was different from those evil Death Eaters.
"Luna, you...you can consider staying in the dungeon."
"What do you mean?" Luna asked, tilting her head.
"Mr. Lovegood has proven his loyalty to the Dark Lord to the Death Eaters. If nothing else happens, you will be released soon. But if you leave with Harry and the others, it will not be so easy to stay out of the matter. .”
"It's an easy choice, isn't it?" Luna said nonchalantly, "I'm definitely on Harry's side."
"I think so." Aaron laughed dumbly, "The door key is a silver-black key. Counting Grigovitch and the goblin, there are six of you. It's best not to leave anyone behind."
The two looked surprised. If Severus became the master of the Elder Wand, then Voldemort might not let him go, otherwise he would not be able to make the Elder Wand surrender.
"It's better to pretend not to know about this matter," Lucius said.
Narcissa and Draco both nodded. Severus had a good relationship with the Malfoy family, and he also made an unbreakable oath to protect Draco during the mission to assassinate Dumbledore. They remembered this kindness in their hearts.
