Chapter 664: Unlucky Lucius
Professor McGonagall said in a stern tone, "But if you think that after graduating from school, everything will be fine. You don't have to worry about anything, just want to mess around. Then accuse your children of working hard, I think you still Live honestly with the transcripts of poor students."
At this moment, she finally completely agreed with the actions that George arranged for these wizards.
These wizards need to be assessed, they need to be tested, and they need to develop the habit of lifelong learning. Not only for themselves, this is also the qualification for them to become parents.
Otherwise, they should bring the transcripts of poor students and be discriminated against by their children. They are not qualified to use double standards, and when they are lazy and doing bad demonstrations, they also require children to study hard.
.......
In the afternoon, the summer sun flooded the earth.
In the outskirts, a cold, secluded, ghostly house seemed to be braving invisible black air. The sunlight did not bring any warmth to this house.
On the second floor of the house, there is a dimly lit room.
Obviously it was a scorching summer day, but the fireplace in the room was burning with a campfire. The raging flames keep going all day long, and the firewood makes a crackling sound from time to time.
But all of this didn't bring Lucius Malfoy a trace of warmth, he just felt that he was walking in the wilderness like an ice and snow. The cold, the cold, always surrounds him.
He stood quietly at a table, slightly bent, looking humble and cautious.
A tall, slender figure is sitting in a luxurious carved armchair.
Under the black robe covering the whole body, there is pale skin like a skeleton, and scarlet eyes are shining with a violent light.
The figure held the newspaper in one hand, and said lightly, "So, until now, you haven't found the home address of the Fred family?"
Lucius bent his waist more humbly, lowered his head, looking at the patterns on the luxurious carpet and the carvings on his shoes.
He said tremblingly, "Great master, I have used various methods to inquire about the home address of the Weasley family from different channels. But those who knew the address of the Weasley family have forgotten. That address."
"Did you forget that address?" Voldemort asked in a bad tone.
Lucius nodded and said with trepidation, "According to various investigations and analyses, the Weasleys used the Courageous Faithfulness Curse to protect their home address. With the protection of a confidential person, that address cannot pass other people’s mouths. Speak out."
Voldemort sneered, "The Curse of Courageous Loyalty is another cliché."
What a familiar spell, as soon as he heard the name, he couldn't help but think of those memories. The scarlet light in his eyes gleamed even more violently.
The temperature in the room dropped a few minutes.
Lucius bowed, not daring to look up at his master. The cold sweat kept slipping from his forehead, dripping drop by drop on the carpet.
When Voldemort's injury just improved, he was ordered to investigate the home address of the Weasley family.
He still regrets until now, why did he show up at that time.
Just when the Dark Lord asked about the Weasley family's situation, he stood up and answered, and the Dark Lord ordered him to investigate the home address of the Weasley family.
He couldn't help cursing in his heart, the **** Weasley family always had trouble with him.
Obviously it was Weasley's son, Fred provoked the Dark Lord, but now he must bear the Dark Lord's anger because he could not find the address of the Weasley family.
Long silence!
Time is like a clock, and the invisible ticking sounds repeated in Lucius's heart.
Lucius only felt that his waist was about to be broken, and the sweat on his forehead, constantly slipping, had wetted a large area of the carpet.
Voldemort's voice, like the sound of heaven, finally rang again, "Did you arrange Umbridge?"
Listening to Voldemort not pursuing the matter, Lucius finally let out a deep sigh of relief and straightened up slightly.
At this time, he realized that the clothes behind him were already wet, and they were coldly attached to his back.
He didn't mind this, he just said in a respectful and humble tone, "Master, Umbridge is not our companion for the time being."
He explained, “The current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, has completely fallen to George Soros. We cannot arbitrarily intervene in the Ministry of Magic at this time. Those who originally supported us, At this time, you can only hide quietly."
He slowly said, "We don’t have many people in the Ministry of Magic. George Soros is now the chairman of the International Wizarding Federation and has the support of the United States, France, and the German Ministry of Magic. Cornelius Fudge has Soros's support at the Ministry of Magic, and it is difficult for us to confront them on these positive occasions."
"We don’t have many hands in the Ministry of Magic. If we act too much at this time, it will be exposed. It will be very troublesome to continue to intervene in the future. At this time, Umbridge has nothing to do with us, but can follow The people we think and act are the best chess pieces."
He said this softly, "Umbridge is cruel and indifferent, with no compromises, thinking about climbing up. She is our natural ally, she is not our person, but this identity happens to make her us The best chess piece."
"Such an outsider can allow us to start fighting within ourselves according to our ideas without revealing our flaws."
Speaking of the political tricks he was good at, Lucius finally seemed to have some confidence. His tone was not so humble, but with the confidence of a professional.
In his field of expertise, he has enough self-confidence, and only hopes that Voldemort can look at his deeds, and will not pursue the matter of Weasley's home address.
"This news is well written." Voldemort shook the newspaper in his hand and said flatly.
"The idea of launching Umbridge and letting the Ministry of Magic fight inside is also good. You can continue to contact more pure-blood families. Let them support Umbridge, even if she can’t replace Cornelius Fudge, it can make magic It’s not bad to get into an infighting."
Although the duel a year later is the key to determining the ownership of the magic world. But for a full year, he would not stop, if the Ministry of Magic can be unrest. There is no doubt that this can disrupt some of George Soros's plans and even delay some of his time.
