v4 Chapter 180： Malfoy and the Dark Mark

【The day you drew cards at Hogwarts】【】

From winter to spring, the weather at Hogwarts is getting warmer day by day. At this time, it was a scene of all things happening, and the little wizards were also enjoying their last leisure time.

Truly the last leisure time.

As soon as the Easter break is over, the junior students will face the villain of the final exam, and the senior students will have to start preparing for...

Maybe only three warriors don't have to worry about final exams, but they also have to prepare for the third project of the Triwizard Tournament.

Therefore, the Hogsmeade Open House in mid-March is extra important. All the eligible students flocked to Hogsmeade, wanting to go there and relax.

"How are Durmstrang and Beauxbatons going to prepare for their final exams? I mean, they live on boats and carriages after all." Hermione looked ahead in confusion. There were several Germans not far away. Mrs. Mstrong and Beauxbaton's students were shopping.

"Their carriages and boats should be quite big, not less than a few study rooms--they can even rub against the Hogwarts library! I'm more curious if their headmaster has left the school, will the final exams be held normally?" Tom is more concerned about another aspect than how to prepare for the final exam.

Hermione pondered for a moment, then asked a soul question: "What influence do you think the principal has on the final exam? Professor Dumbledore doesn't seem to be involved in the question-setting link! So Mrs. Maxime and Professor Karkaroff Shouldn't it be involved in the question-setting link of the final exam?"

Hermione said it more euphemistically, in fact, she felt that the principals had little to do with the final exam.

"I think I heard someone say my name?" An old voice suddenly came from behind the two of them. Tom turned his head to see that it was really Albus Dumbledore.

Today, Professor Dumbledore wears a lot of low-key. He did not wear his few wizard robes embroidered with stars, but chose a simple gray plain wizard robe, wearing a wizard hat of the same color on his head. Just looking at the appearance, it looks like an ordinary old wizard.

It's just that this outfit gives Tom the illusion that he is very good at one-handed swords... Wait, it seems that Gryffindor's swords are also one-handed swords? !

Looking at Dumbledore's outfit, Tom lost his senses for a short time, and he didn't come back until Dumbledore spoke again.

"Should we go to Three Broomsticks for a drink? I still miss the butterbeer there."

"Of course not!" Tom rejected Dumbledore before Hermione agreed.

Just kidding, that's Dumbledore! The top wizards in the magic world will attract the attention of the audience wherever they go, just like the special effects of the spotlight. He didn't want to go to a pub and drink with such a person.

He and Hermione came out to have fun, not to be watched.

"Okay," Dumbledore spread his hands regretfully, indicating that Tom has some truth in what you said, "then I'll bring some food, how about we go on a picnic on the hillside?"

This suggestion is not bad. The spring is just right, feeling the cool spring breeze under the tree, and eating some cold meals is also excellent.

After getting the approval of Tom and Hermione, Dumbledore waved a hand and got a basket full of food from nowhere. Carrying a basket, he walked with the two to a hillside near the village of Hogsmeade.

"How's it going here?" Tom felt that this was a good place for a picnic, looking at the wide-open field of vision.

"Good idea." Dumbledore had already laid a tablecloth on the floor and sat down.

Tom and Hermione also sat next to each other across from Dumbledore.

"Nice socks." Dumbledore praised when he saw the black stockings on Hermione's legs, "but I want to remind Miss Granger that you can't wear these lettered socks during the final exam, otherwise you may be caught Judged as cheating."

Hermione slid her hands on her stockings uneasily. She didn't expect Professor Dumbledore's attention to be so peculiar.

It's not a big problem. It's fine if you don't wear it during the exam. Anyway, it's not for the invigilator to see. Besides, when the final exam is due, the socks are probably damaged and can't be worn anymore.

Tom smiled. He really didn't expect alphabet stockings to have such a function.

Dumbledore didn't continue to tangle on Hermione's socks. He picked up the basket full of food and praised Hermione's good looks.

"It feels like every time I see Miss Granger, she looks more radiant than the last time I saw her."

Tom lowered his head: that's right, this girl has been nourished a lot, and of course her complexion has improved!

"Are you still taking your medicine on time?" Dumbledore asked.

Hermione nodded.

Now she was used to taking the potion that Professor Snape had prepared for her every day. But there is good news, Tom told her that the Philosopher's Stone is almost finished. At that time, you can get rid of this unpleasant potion by yourself.

"Why are you in the mood to come to Hogsmeade today?" Tom wondered why he met Dumbledore here.

Dumbledore made a face that didn't fit his age.

"Of course, while I can still move around and enjoy the spring!" He said of course, "I'm not a ghost bound in Hogwarts Castle, naturally I can come out for a walk, and then I meet you. ."

"Okay." Tom believed Dumbledore's words, and he thought he was out for a spring outing.

The three of them enjoyed bacon sandwiches and chilled pumpkin juice in the spring breeze.

While the three of them were enjoying their picnic in the sun, there were also shadows lingering in some corners of Hogsmeade.

Draco Malfoy, wearing a hood, came to the Hog's Head. He looked left and right, and after making sure no one was paying attention, he pushed the door and entered this dirty tavern.

In such a place, Malfoy usually wouldn't even get close, but today he walked in. It wasn't his whim, but the Death Eaters contacted him and asked him to meet here.

Despite some reluctance, he still came.

There are not many people in the bar, and they are all silently drinking the wine in their glasses, or passing the time in other ways. Malfoy's brows furrowed: this place is so dirty!

The old ashes and the stains on the cup made his scalp tingle.

Let him drink the things here, it is better to let him die!

But that's how he thought about it, if he really didn't drink the wine at the Hog's Head, he would die, and Malfoy would still give in.

After he came in, the few guests in the bar turned around one after another, looked at him, then turned their heads and went back to their own business. Only a witch covered in black veil stood up from her seat and walked up to Malfoy, motioning him to come with her.

Malfoy followed her upstairs. As he walked, the hand under his robe held the handle of his wand, and he secretly raised his vigilance. He's ready to let go if things go wrong.

The first floor of the bar is a place for drinking, and the second floor has several dilapidated rooms where people can stay and rest. But as long as there are other options, no one would choose to live in such a bar full of goat flavor.

Malfoy felt like he was suffocating at the almost tangible smell of taint in the air.

"You can take off your hood." A female voice came from under the black veil.

"Aunt Bella?" Even with the black veil as a disguise, Malfoy still recognized the identity of the witch in front of him by his voice.

"Yeah." The witch took off her black veil, revealing a long thick shiny black hair. The person who disguised and infiltrated Hogsmeade was Voldemort's most loyal subordinate, Bellacritus.

"Draco, I was ordered by the Dark Lord to come to give you the highest honor." Bellacritus took out his wand and showed a somewhat mad smile.

Malfoy was Bellacritus' nephew, but he didn't have much affection for his aunt - Bellacrites had been imprisoned in Azkaban when he was born. After she escaped from prison, she only left a psychological shadow on her good nephew.

Malfoy at this time is a weak, helpless and pitiful appearance.

"Glory? What glory?" He was a little confused.

Bellacritus let out a grotesque laugh.

"Of course it's the Dark Mark!" She looked very happy. "The master gave you a special grace to allow you to join the Death Eaters as an exception, and was given the Dark Mark. I'm here to brand you today."

Malfoy: ? !

If possible, he certainly wanted to refuse.

"This doesn't seem right?" He said awkwardly: "I didn't contribute anything, and being given the Dark Mark rashly like this will probably make others feel unfair."

These words came out of Malfoy's mouth, with a strong sense of disobedience. When did Draco Malfoy want to be fair? He really wants to be fair now.

It's nothing to verbally join Death Eaters, but if you get the Dark Mark branded on your arm, you're in big trouble! This means that he is deeply bound to the Death Eaters, which will bring him a lot of trouble in the future.

After hearing his nephew's words, Bellacritus nodded in agreement. In fact, if Draco wasn't her nephew, she would definitely be against giving a Dark Mark to a rookie who had just joined the Death Eaters. But this isn't his nephew, so of course he can make a difference.

"Draco, you're right, the Dark Mark can only be given to the Death Eaters who are most loyal to their masters - Peter was also given the mark after resurrecting his master, but you are different! Your father, And my aunt, I have already finished the hardship for you in Azkaban, you can just enjoy the happiness!"

Well, from Bellacritus' point of view, Malfoy is a standard "food second generation" and can go through the back door. Those Death Eaters who have no heels need to gain the trust of other Death Eaters little by little, and they can only be given the Dark Mark after they are finally recognized by Voldemort. With the Dark Mark, it is officially a Death Eater.

Without the Dark Mark, he is always a low-ranking outsider in the Death Eater team, equivalent to a labor dispatch worker in the company. During the Second Wizarding War, Voldemort attracted the werewolves and let the werewolves join the Death Eaters camp, but even Fenrir, the leader of the werewolves, didn't get the Dark Mark... I don't know what the werewolves were thinking.

Before Voldemort came, they were discriminated against. After Voldemort came back, they were still discriminated against. Isn't Voldemort coming for nothing?

It is also worth noting that if you are not a pure blood wizard, this mark is likely to miss you. Snape is an extremely rare Death Eater who has obtained the Dark Mark as a half-blood wizard. Only a half-blood wizard like him can have the Dark Mark, and the difficulty of obtaining the mark can be imagined.

But Malfoy didn't need to go through those processes. He can join the line of fire and give the Dark Mark the same time he joins the Death Eaters. you ask why? His father was Lucius and his aunt was Bella Cretes, and that was enough.

What Bellacritus said was not very strict, and now Draco's father Lucius has not been imprisoned in Azkaban, so he has not suffered for Draco in Azkaban.

In the face of Aunt's words, Malfoy was stunned, and he really didn't know how to refute.

Seeing her nephew's stupefied look, Bella smiled, pulled Malfoy in front of her, and rolled up the sleeves of his robe.

She put her wand against Malfoy's left arm, and a green flame ignited. Wherever the flames went, bright red pictures appeared on Malfoy's arms As Voldemort's most trusted subordinate, Bellacritus received this honor: she could give Voldemort's The newly added Death Eaters are branded with the Dark Mark.

Soon, the Dark Mark was branded. Bella moved her wand away and looked at Malfoy's arm with great satisfaction at the skull-spitting snake symbol.

"When the mark burns, it means that the master is calling. Every summoned Death Eater must rush to the master as soon as possible, otherwise it will be regarded as a betrayal." After branding Malfoy with the Dark Mark, Bellacriet S gave him some basics on the Dark Mark. At the end, she added: "But I also know that you are at Hogwarts, which may be inconvenient, so you may not go when you feel the call."

Malfoy's face was pale, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he didn't know whether it was the pain or the anxiety in his heart.

"There is one last thing, since you have become a Death Eater, you must perform the master's task." Bellacrites took out a box from her arms, "This is a cursed accessory, yours The job is to get it into Hogwarts and get it to some student."

Malfoy's eyes widened in shock. He really didn't expect his mission to come so quickly, and the content was so cruel!
