Chapter 504

No matter how much information Helen has hidden behind her, it's not the most important thing at the moment. Maka spent so much time and energy this time, and even paid some price. Only then did she successfully appear at this time. He didn't come to listen to Helen's story.

At present, he still has things waiting for him to complete. In order to satisfy himself with the final outcome, he must focus his attention again and completely transform the regular Rune notes obtained from the bewitching monument into his own knowledge.

After a short rest, he ignored Helen's questions and threw himself on the pages of his notes.

While he was immersed in research, Dumbledore's public funeral was approaching day by day again. Hogwarts and Hogsmeade village, not far from the castle, also gradually welcomed batch after batch of guests, and all they saw were crowded.

Funeral is always a heavy group activity. Even if the people who come may not come for mourning, once they are placed under such an occasion, they will be slightly or seriously infected due to the change of atmosphere.

For example, the Malfoy young master, who has become more and more low-key in recent years, is one of the most typical.

It is often said that the family atmosphere often brings changes to children, and the temperament of parents often imperceptibly affects their children's ways of doing things.

But this is based on the premise that children's world outlook has not yet taken shape and their independent judgment ability is still insufficient.

In the past, Draco was really influenced by his parents, especially his father Lucius, who was a real speculator, usually put his own interests first.

Perhaps many people in the magic world believe that Lucius Malfoy went to Voldemort because he supported the theory of pure blood supremacy. But in fact, what he cares about is not the interests of pure blood, but only the interests of his Malfoy family.

However, whether Dumbledore and Voldemort at first, or Marca and Voldemort later, where is the place between them?

Draco's pressure is really great to have such a father who is not capable enough but has a lot of heart.

But sometimes stress can crush people, but sometimes it can also make people grow.

When Voldemort forced Lucius to stand on his side, the Malfoy family had no peace for a moment. With the recent fierce fighting between the order of the Phoenix and the death eaters, and with the sharp reduction of Voldemort's manpower again and again, Lucius had to stand in the front line of fighting the order of the Phoenix.

Yes, it's right to say "struggle".

Voldemort was frustrated by Maka's plan several times, which led to his reputation declining. Originally, he had insufficient power. In fact, he was already a little stretched. And he didn't want to send black dead easily. After all, if there were no black dead, he really didn't dare to appear in front of Maka at will.

For this reason, Lucius, who originally paid more than he did, was recently forced to show his skills in the streets.

But for a role like Lucius, where can Voldemort rest assured before he is confused? So Draco and his mother Narcissa became a pair of hostages.

For example, this Christmas holiday, Draco can see the crazy woman Bellatrix as soon as he gets home. That woman is not only always perverse and vicious, but also has a good magical strength. Last time, she almost had to use the heart drilling curse on him!

Occasionally, just occasionally, occasionally Voldemort would go to Malfoy's house for a day or two. Although Voldemort was handsome, he even spoke and acted gently when he saw him. But he Draco is not a fool. Why don't you know that this seemingly kind guy is actually a murderous Dark Lord?

In this environment, Draco soon taught himself the skill of observing words and colors, and became more low-key on weekdays. Of course, he can not go back as far as possible without going back.

Shortly after Christmas, he packed up his luggage and planned to sneak back to Hogwarts... No, Hogwarts and that McClane are here. He'd better not go there either.

It's sad to think about it. It's because his father has been a wallflower for a while, so now he's not human at both ends of Malfoy's family. In school, the students of the other three colleges will not give him a good face; At home, Voldemort and Bellatrix kept him worried all day.

This kind of life is really hard!

However, just as he opened his door secretly, he heard a voice suddenly coming out behind him, which scared him to a standstill.

"Draco, it's just Christmas and the holiday is still long! Where are you going?"

Listen to the voice, it's the old woman Bellatrix, Voldemort's most loyal follower!

"I... I want to go to Diagon Alley and check Mr. Ollivander's wand..." dracoton forced himself to calm down and pressed his left hand on the right hand carrying the box. "It hasn't been right since he practiced the spell last time."

Unfortunately, his hands are trembling now. No matter which hand he uses, he can't press it.

"Oh? I don't think it's a matter of heart drilling curse," Bellatrix staggered to Draco as if she were dancing. "Or do you actually prefer soul snatching curse with your wand?"

The experience of being locked up in Azkaban for a long time makes this crazy witch more unusual, and often makes exaggerated actions. In her own words, it was dancing for the glory of the master, but it was a sign of insanity.

"No, it's not about the curse... I think... The curse of death will be better."

With these black wizards, I understood how to speak after a long time. Bellatrix seemed more comfortable with that answer - at least Draco did.

Sure enough, the crazy woman laughed wildly. The laughter was like a vulture in the wilderness seeing a corpse, sharp and harsh, but with inexplicable joy.

After Draco laughed with Bellatrix for a while, he tightened his suitcase and put away his unknown smile.

"... well, Miss Black... Can I go?" Draco knew that calling her by Bellatrix's family name would sometimes make her happier. For example, when her husband was not present, "when I change a stronger wand, I can see other people's more painful expressions... That... That must be very sweet."

"Oh?"

Bellatrix looked him up and down with the look of "you're finally enlightened", and then laughed louder.

"That's right! Hahaha... That's right. When we see the enemy lying at our feet crying in pain, it's the moment we enjoy most! Sweet, really sweet! Hahaha..."

Seeing that the crazy woman couldn't stop laughing, Draco secretly looked around and tried to move to the door. The crazy woman obviously saw it, but she didn't stop it - it seems that today's escape is possible!

But who knows, when he turned and wanted to go, another voice made him stop again and didn't even dare to move.

"Something's wrong with the wand?" said the gentle voice softly. "It's not better to go to Ollivander... Maybe I can help you, Draco."

It's Voldemort! Oh, no... it should be... The Dark Lord!

"I..."

In an instant, he realized who the voice was. At the same time, a chill rushed up his back from the bottom of his feet and drilled down his spine to his scalp.

For a moment, he couldn't even say his prepared excuses.

"Draco, are you really going to Diagon Alley?" Voldemort walked slowly out of the corridor on the side of the hall and asked softly. "Since you're going to Diagon Alley, why don't you go to the fireplace?"

When Draco heard this, his heart suddenly trembled. Yes! Why doesn't he use a flyer? Even if the line connecting his family to Hogsmeade village has been disconnected, he can go to Diagon Lane first. Where are you going?

Now he runs straight out, doesn't it make people suspicious?

Draco, who is regretting his stupidity, won't say a word.

"Do you want to go back to Hogwarts?" Voldemort paced to Draco's body, looked at him calmly, and his eyes with hidden black flame stared directly at Draco's eyes. "Now it's a rare Christmas holiday... Your mother will be very sad when you go?"

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

His mother, Narcissa Malfoy, was arrogant, but when she was with her son, she was full of doting. To be honest, she may not be a qualified mother, but she is still a mother who deeply loves her children.

Just a few days ago, when Bellatrix wanted to give Draco a "Christmas present", Narcissa stopped it. Otherwise, if a heart drilling curse goes on, it will taste... I'm afraid Draco will never forget this Christmas in his life.

"Lord Dark Lord, you're right... I'm not going anywhere." dracolo lowered his head and said stuffy.

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

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

"No, you can go..." just then, Voldemort suddenly said, "you not only have to go, but also have to show up at Dumbledore's funeral, okay?"
