Chapter 397 Humiliation, Farewell 9 Months Ago

"By the way, Bella, I seem to have heard that your niece Nymphadora is dating a poor man?"

Senior Tom raised her chin and looked at the Malfoy family. Her original intention was still to humiliate Lucius.

She wanted to test Lucius's bottom line and see what else this cunning friend was hiding from him.

After all, he used to be a Hogwarts governor, so maybe he had some connection with that annoying guy.

"Yes Master, she is a disgrace to the Black family, I will get rid of her!"

Bella's sudden words interrupted Senior Tom's attempt, which made her face look a little unhappy.

Bella, who was familiar with senior Tom, knew she had made a mistake and immediately lowered her head.

"You said, Draco, I remember you didn't seem to complete the task I assigned to you!"

Senior Sister Tom suddenly dissipated into black mist, condensed next to Draco, sat in his arms, and put her face close to him.

Draco's facial expression was distorted and he kept shaking, and his appearance made the other Death Eaters laugh wildly.

"Master..." Snape suddenly spoke.

"I think he also played a very important role in the mission to assassinate Dumbledore.

After all, he cleared the way for us to enter Hogwarts and bought precious time for the assassination, didn't he?"

Snape still spoke to defend his student, and Tom let Draco go when he heard his beloved general plead for mercy.

"what--!"

There was a scream in the distance, which disrupted Senior Tom's good mood.

"Wormtail!" she shouted after her. "Didn't I tell you to entertain my guests?"

"Yes...yes, my master." Peter ran out timidly.

"Oh, speaking of guests." Senior Sister Tom stood up from Draco's legs, her body turned into nothingness, and she walked across the long table back to the main seat.

She raised Lucius's wand and pulled the woman who had been floating nearby over to her.

"Look who we've got, an old friend from Hogwarts, Ms. Bubbage.

She seems to think we are no different from Muggles, and she opened and taught Muggle Studies at Hogwarts?"

Voldemort was the first to sneer, and then the Death Eaters around the long table dared to follow suit.

"Quiet!" She raised her hand, and the surroundings suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Severus, save me, aren't we friends?" The tortured and dying Burbage begged Snape.

But Snape was using all his strength to perform Occlumency, and his face was expressionless.

Snape knew in his heart that Sister Tom was giving him a warning and a show of power, after all, he was about to become the head of the British branch of the Death Eaters.

Likewise, he did not dare to look back at the woman sitting in the main seat, even though she was almost about to ascend the throne of the European wizarding world.

But her rule still spreads violence and killing.

Seeing Snape's reaction, Senior Tom nodded in satisfaction, "Avada Kendava!"

A green light flashed, and Bubaji's life was ruthlessly taken away. The last warmth in her body was left in the tear filled with fear in the corner of her eye.

"It's time to eat, Nagini." Senior Tom gently stroked the big snake behind her.

Nagini climbed onto the dining table and opened her big mouth to bite Bubbaji.

......

"Ho-!"

The huge snake's mouth woke Harry Potter, who was far away on Privet Drive, from his dream.

He reached out to grab his glasses, but accidentally cut his hand on the broken pieces of the two-way mirror.

He opened the door and wanted to go out to find some gauze to bandage himself, but accidentally stepped on the herbal tea on the floor at the door.

"Damn it!" Harry cursed, packed up his things, found a bandage and bandaged his hand.

The chaos in the Ministry of Magic made Harry afraid to use spells, because he was also afraid that after Dumbledore's death, the protective magic on his body would fail and Voldemort would discover him.

He read the biography written by Dumbledore's friend, as well as the extremely insulting words used against Dumbledore in the Wizarding Daily, which was now controlled by Bella Trunks.

They hired a writer to write in the newspaper that Dumbledore and Harry's relationship was unhealthy.

These disgusting words made Harry angry, but he knew that everything was a trap set by Tom to find him.

So he could only endure...endure. The golden color instantly permeated his pupils, but it only flashed for a tiny moment.

Harry, who had calmed down using a special method, looked through the two-way mirror and saw a flash of blue pupils inside.

"Are you hallucinating because you miss Dumbledore?" Harry smiled bitterly.

"Harry Potter!" On the first floor, Vernon kept calling his name.

Harry walked down and saw the Dursleys were there, Vernon looking at him with disgust.

A month ago, Harry had told Vernon that the days ahead would be very dangerous.

But Vernon thought that it was all a trick that Harry came up with to take over his house.

"Enough, I already have a house, and what should I do to occupy it, for those happy memories?" Harry's outburst made Vernon fall silent.

After a while, Vernon glanced at his wife and daughter, and clamored for a higher level of protection. He wanted Kingsley's personal protection.

But Harry didn't indulge him. He pulled him to the TV and turned it on.

What we can see are train derailments, plane explosions, and bridge collapses.

"See this? This is all done by Voldemort and his followers. If you want to die unclearly like these Muggles, then we'd better cut off ties from now on."

Harry's meaning was clear, even though the Dursleys were targeted because of him, their special protection also saved them from inexplicable deaths.

Harry glanced at the 'relatives' in front of him with disappointment. He now really wanted to rush to Sirius's house.

However, it was an agreement between Dumbledore and himself that his protective magic would continue until he was seventeen years old, and Harry had to abide by it.

"Don't you understand? They will torture you and kill you, just like my parents did!" Harry's hoarse voice echoed in the house.

"Dad." Dudley suddenly said, "I want to...I want to leave with those people from the Order of the Phoenix."

The Dursleys, who doted on Dudley, would naturally agree with his choice. Five minutes later, members of the Order of the Phoenix arrived.

They told Harry that their plans had changed and asked him to wait at home.

When the final farewell came, Vernon wanted to say goodbye to Harry, but he couldn't pull his face together, and he couldn't open his raised hands. Instead, he waved his two raised fists at Harry.

Petunia checked the clasp of her handbag awkwardly, not daring to look at Harry. She held her breath for a long time, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn't speak.

Instead, it was Dudley, the boy who had been transformed by Dumbledore's words last year, who spoke up, "Why doesn't he come with us?"

Upon hearing this, Vernon and Penny were stunned.
