Chapter 212 The Malfoy Family Wants Spicy

Change sides?

How to stand!

Should we join the resistance against the Dark Lord directly? !

Let’s not talk about whether Dumbledore will protect his family.

When the Dark Lord returns, he will probably personally expel the Malfoy family.

For the Malfoy family, there has always been only one option for this multiple-choice question, and that is to continue following the Dark Lord.

Thinking of this, Lucius reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then loosened his collar without regard for etiquette.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sebastian, but the Malfoy family simply does not have any extra options."

Lucius took a deep breath and spoke calmly.

"Even if the Dark Lord no longer trusts me, he still needs me."

"After all, most of the old pure-blood families now look up to the Malfoy family."

"He needs the reputation of the Malfoy family, he also needs the heritage of the Malfoy family, and he needs the gold Galleons of the Malfoy family even more."

"So, we can still cooperate like before and provide convenience for each other in our respective camps. Isn't that better?"

Hearing this, Sebastian stretched out a finger and waved it gently.

"Unfortunately, this method is outdated and does not apply to your current situation."

"How is it possible..." Lucius opened his mouth and was about to refute something, but was interrupted by Sebastian.

"Senior, don't be impatient," Sebastian smiled gently, "I will share another secret with you."

"The secret of the Dark Lord's immortality."

The secret of the Dark Lord's immortality?

What does this have to do with my situation?!

Lucius was curious and listened to Sebastian patiently.

"The reason why the Dark Lord did not die and turned into a half-human, half-ghost ghost is because he made a dark magic tool for himself - a Horcrux."

"I think as an old pure-blood family, you should have enough family heritage to understand what a Horcrux is and what its disadvantages are."

When Lucius heard the word Horcrux, he suddenly realized.

The family records do record such things as Horcruxes, and it is expressly forbidden for future generations to refine them.

This evil prop can indeed ensure that a person will not be killed.

However, is there actually someone who can refine this kind of thing?

You know, the prerequisite for refining a Horcrux is to split the soul.

Once the soul is split, that person is no longer complete, or no longer himself.

No wonder the Dark Lord's appearance became so strange and his personality became so violent, completely different from his previous wise and powerful appearance.

It turns out that the Horcrux was the cause of the trouble.

But what does this have to do with the Malfoy family?

Just when Lucius was puzzled, Sebastian's words made him feel like he was falling into an ice cave.

"Senior, do you remember an old black leather notebook, the one with Tom Riddle's name on it?"

Could it be that?

That notebook is...

Lucius didn't dare to think too much.

His face turned pale again and his whole body was shaking like a sieve.

"Sebastian, you... mean..."

"It's not what I thought, is it?"

"Unfortunately," Sebastian directly pierced through Lucius's last layer of fantasy, "that notebook is the Dark Lord's Horcrux."

As soon as these words came out, Lucius seemed to have all his strength drained away, and he collapsed directly on the sofa.

He actually put the Dark Lord's tool of immortality into a little girl's cauldron.

Then he let the other party take him into Hogwarts.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he jumped up, came to Sebastian, grabbed his hand tightly and asked.

"Sebastian, since you've seen the notebook, that means you know where it is, right?"

At this moment, Lucius threw all manners and etiquette behind his mind and begged bitterly.

"As long as you help me find that notebook, I will agree to any condition you ask."

"It's too late, Senior," Sebastian said with regret, "How do you think I found out that the notebook was a Horcrux?"

"The notebook took control of a student, then opened the chamber of secrets and released the basilisk."

Basilisk?!

Lucius shuddered.

The incident with the basilisk and the chamber of secrets was on the news for several days.

I also felt that Sebastian was so lucky that he was able to solve the thousand-year-old mystery with a group of students.

Now it seems that it's all about the notebook.

"What about... that notebook?" Lucius asked stutteringly.

"Do you think Dumbledore wouldn't pay attention to something as big as this happening in the school?"

Sebastian grinned. "After catching the basilisk, we followed the clues and found the notebook without alerting any students."

"It was from Dumbledore that I learned that the notebook was the Dark Lord's Horcrux."

"As for the notebook, it was destroyed, of course."

Hearing this answer, Lucius's whole body went limp and he staggered back to his sofa.

"There's one more thing you need to know about Draco." Sebastian said slowly.

Lucius' heart tightened, and he looked up at Sebastian: "Tell me, I can handle it."

"Senior, Draco offended the Dark Lord unconsciously during his first year."

How can it be?

How could Draco possibly offend the Dark Lord?

Looking at Lucius who was full of disbelief, Sebastian explained.

"Remember when I told you about the Dark Lord sneaking into Hogwarts and stealing the Philosopher's Stone?"

"As a remnant soul, the Dark Lord does not have the ability to steal the Philosopher's Stone directly, so he possesses someone else and controls that person to steal the Philosopher's Stone."

"Draco and a few of his friends discovered the sneaky thief."

"Then, a few little guys with a sense of justice tried to stop the thief."

Sebastian evaded the point and said, "As for the result, I can only tell you that the Dark Lord failed."

"Tell me, is this indirectly offending the Dark Lord?"

"Of course," Sebastian changed the subject, "the Dark Lord may not remember Draco, but who can say for sure."

After hearing what Sebastian said, Lucius felt disheartened. He sat there with empty eyes, unable to utter a word.

Finished!

The Malfoy family is finished.

He and Draco, father and son, had completely offended the Dark Lord. With the Dark Lord's narrow mind, there was no way that he would forgive them.

"Senior," Sebastian said gently, "You are right about what you said just now. The Malfoy family does not have any extra options."

"What do you think?"

Lucius moved the corners of his mouth and said in a sad voice.

"What can I do, turn to Dumbledore?"

"Will he trust me and protect the Malfoy family?"

"Unfortunately, I don't trust him either. During the last wizarding war, he couldn't even protect his own Order of the Phoenix. His methods were too weak."

"If he had been tougher and taken over the Ministry of Magic directly, using the power of the entire wizarding world to fight against the Dark Lord, the result last time might have been different."

"Senior," Sebastian stood up, walked to Lucius, and looked down at him, "You have fallen into a misunderstanding."

"No one told you to join Dumbledore."

"There is someone who is a better choice for the Malfoy family than Dumbledore."

"that's me!"
