v4 Chapter 21： End of summer vacation

August 19, a day has passed since the Quidditch World Cup.

Xie Lin put down the "Daily Prophet" in his hand.

The cover of "Daily Prophet" is a flashing black and white photo of the shocking Dark Mark hanging from the treetops. The title is: "Horror Scene at the Quidditch World Cup".

This article was written by Rita Skye. The terminology is very sensational, and some unproven terrible conjectures such as "There are rumors..." "It is rumored to be..." and so on are added in key places.

"The black mark reappears... the Ministry of Magic panicked... the criminals were not captured... the law and order was slack... the black wizard was at large... it brought shame to the country... the wizards waiting outside the woods panicked, hoping to get the Ministry of Magic's help Consolation. Unfortunately, they were disappointed. Soon after the Dark Mark appeared, a Ministry official showed up, declaring that no one was harmed, but refused to disclose more information. Whether his words were enough to quell that kind of conspiracy. The rumor that several corpses were lifted out of the woods in a few hours remains to be observed."

The second article mentions rumors about the Dark Mark and the elves of the Crouch family. I have to say that Rita Skeeter is really capable. Only a few Ministry of Magic officials knew about the incident in the woods. She was arrested and written in this way, but the writing was almost the same as the real situation.

"It is rumored that the Dark Mark was issued by a house elf... There is no elf in the Death Eater list of the Ministry of Magic... Coincidentally, the house elf of the Crouch family was given clothes on the same day and fired. Now... As we all know, the son of Barty Crouch Sr. was a Death Eater and committed heinous crimes..."

The third article is a short article. It mentions the disappearance of Meredith Shafik, the prostitute of the Shafik family. Although there is no mention of the "shadow of the dragon", there is no mention of the disappearance of Meredith Shafik. Less critical of the incompetence of the Ministry of Magic, causing the last bloodline of an ancient family to suffer as a result.

The fourth article is much more interesting. It mentioned the presence of werewolves in the World Cup. They are suspected to be related to the Death Eater riots. As we all know, werewolves were under the command of mysterious men in the first wizarding war. However, what is strange is that this time the werewolf attacked the Camp of the Lestrange family, killing more than a dozen members of the clan who came to watch the World Cup in a cruel way, and the only remaining one survived. However, Gallup Lestrange, who was still attending Hogwarts, was bitten and turned into a werewolf.

When Xie Lin read this, he sneered. These are of course Xie Lin's handwriting. He hasn't forgotten the attack by Gemma.

He strictly followed Lucius' instructions and didn't do anything to those pure-blood families, but even if he couldn't do it himself, it didn't mean he couldn't do anything.

This attack was carefully planned. First of all, Batori and Annis took the initiative and jointly captured some werewolves alone in Knock Down Alley. As a dead enemy of the werewolves, even if the werewolves are still in the state of ordinary people, She can also distinguish werewolves easily.

Then, it was Anis who used the unique mind control magic of the **** to control this group of werewolves to attack the camp of Lestrange. The night-strike werewolves were also mixed with many elites from the blood-sucking royal family and the dominatrix. They all Disguised as a werewolf, he also specially left the werewolf's unique paw prints and traces on the scene-the purpose is to throw the pot to the werewolf.

The werewolf clan has a close relationship with the Rohr family in the pure-blooded family, and it can instigate the divorce, causing suspicion between the Rohr family and the Lestrange family.

And the werewolf clan will also be exposed to news reports because of this atrocities, which arouses the disgust of the masses, and suppresses the arrogance of the Roll family by the way.

Counting revenge, it can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

Xie Lin snapped his fingers and summoned Dobby. He knew that Dobby and Xiaoyan were acquainted, and he wanted Dobby to bring Xiaoyan to him. Dobby had been following Schelling for a long time, and he was getting more and more agile, and within a few hours he brought Shining there.

Shining uses alcohol to soothe her sorrows because of her dismissal. At this moment, her eyes are still full of drunkenness, and her whole body is sitting on the ground, muttering to herself comfortably.

"Shiny, look into my eyes!" Xie Lin ordered harshly.

Shining who was already half drunk unconsciously met Schelling's eyes for a while, and Schelling's pupils were as deep as a bottomless black hole, and Shining felt that her whole mind was sucked in uncontrollably. In the black hole.

"Shiny, stare into my eyes, you have to answer my questions honestly."

"Look into your eyes... answer the question..."

"Are you originally a house elf from the Crouch family?"

"Yes...I am the elf of the Crouch family. I have served three generations of Crouch masters..."

"You defy the will of Barty Crouch! You are a bad elf who betrayed your master!"

"No...I am not...I am not..." The shimmering voice brought a painful cry, and the whole body began to tremble.

"Tell me—whether Barty Crouch Jr. is still alive! Was it he who released the Dark Mark that night?"

"Ah—" Shining let out a heart-piercing scream, she pinched her neck and kept hitting the floor with her head. But the softening curse had long been released on the floor, and she didn't suffer any harm at all.

"Don't resist my will! You bad elf! It's you—you persuaded Barty to take his son to the World Cup! You didn't take care of Barty, and let him escape! You picked it up indiscriminately Magic wand! You put Crouch under investigation by the Ministry of Magic! You put the Crouch family to shame!"

"Ah-I am not-I don't... I swear... I..."

"Don't resist! Think of what Mrs. Crouch looked like before she died! Remember her expectations! Remember her expression!"

Shining expression suddenly became scared and alarmed, and she trembled more severely.

"If you feel scared and ashamed, you are a sinful person. No one will need a bad elf like you anymore... Only me, I can help you, free from this guilt, as long as you become my slave! "

"Yes... Shining is a sinner... Shining is a slave..."

"Remember the name of your new owner, I'm Schelling Malfoy!"

Shining fell to her knees, crawling to Schelling's feet, and said with a trembling voice: "Sherin Malfoy...my master...please accept Shining...please accept your humble servant... Shining is willing to follow. You, are willing to break your body for you, and are willing to do anything for you!"

"Really?" Schelling's gaze suddenly became sharp, "Even if it let you kill Crouch?"

Shining shuddered more, but she still answered, "Yes, my only master, even if it kills Crouch..." After saying these words, Shining's guilt and fear in her heart were gone, and her heart was suddenly full. She lost her joy, as if she had regained a new life. She looked at Xie Lin and her gaze became frenzied. She wished that she would immediately capture the old Barty's family in front of her master and kill her, so as to express her loyalty.

"Very well, from today, you will be my third servant!"

["Servant" wins! 】

Since Meredith disappeared, Schelling found that his magic power had skyrocketed, and his mastery of soul magic had been achieved overnight. It can be seen that he can brainwash two house elves to become his servants without any effort.

Xie Lin looked at his hands, and the surging magic power was mixed with looming black air.

Is this because my evil thoughts are growing? Is he going to embark on a dark path after all?

If it is placed in the former Schelling, he is more inclined to treat the elves kindly in order to win their loyalty. Now he believed in the power of magic more, and in a way he became more like Voldemort.

I just hope I never get there...

Schelling sighed. In his mind, the faces of Lucius, Narcissa, Draco, Daphne, Meredith, and Astoria flashed one by one, and the final picture was fixed in "Abatel Volume III. On the last page of "The Soul", it is written slantingly and slantingly in a twisted glyph——

To increase the power of the soul, the fastest and most effective way is to kill the love in the heart with your own hands...

So that's it, is this the root of Dumbledore's power...

Xie Lin wrote a letter to his family, and he will stay in the green manor during the summer holidays before the start of school.

He asked Dobby to run errands to Diagon Alley to buy all the textbooks and potions needed to start school. He also ordered Xie Lin a set of gowns for the prom-yes, Xie Lin decided to participate. Goblet of Fire. Using the Goblet of Fire competition as a guise, in addition to saving him from the final exams, it also allows him to ask the professors for various advanced magics, and he can study high-level magic openly from then on.

Harry in the original book, after the baptism of the Goblet of Fire, the use of various spells and actual combat capabilities have advanced by leaps and bounds. And if you can win the Goblet of Fire in the end, you can once again enhance your reputation, and it is the reputation of the international community.

Schelling also took out Kanon who won the World Cup to make good use of.

Schelling, who lived in the Muggle world in his previous life, knows the hidden profits behind the beauty market. He had the idea of ​​getting involved in the field of beauty potions a long time ago.

At present, the beauty potion market in the United Kingdom is monopolized by Ms. Pripinall from Diagon Alley and the Tugwood family. The former is most famous for wart medicines, and the latter is famous for pimples.

"The Book of Potions" author Sigmund Bach also invented a potion called "Charm Potion" (). This potion is not a beauty potion in the strict sense. It can't change the appearance, but can only make the user's appearance full of charm, and the effect is temporary. Once you stop taking it, it will reveal its original form.

The beauty potions mastered by the Tagwood family are almost all passed down by the famous chocolate frog painter Sakrissa Tagwood more than thirty years ago. Obviously, her descendants did not inherit her potion talent, and had not proposed any improvements to the formula for so many years, so the patent right for the formula was terminated more than ten years ago.

Through Gareth’s connections, Schelling caught up with the Tagwood family and used 2000 gallons to buy all the research notes on the beauty potions in their family. The Tagwood family fell in the corner to eat. Dust waste paper can be sold at a good price and is overwhelmingly happy I don't even realize the value behind this knowledge.

Xie Lin is well aware of the importance of appearance to women, and the biggest natural enemy of women is not sarcoma, not pimples, but aging. What Schelling wants to develop is a potion that makes people's appearance not aging. If this succeeds, he believes it will be an unprecedented business initiative.

[Obtained the potion research notes of the Tagwood family! 】

During this period of time, Schelling has also practiced actual combat with Daphne and Astoria.

Since Meredith was taken away, the two girls knew that if they wanted to share the burden for their boyfriend, they needed more strength, so the two sisters have also practiced extremely hard during this period, no matter in the knowledge of magic theory. , Or the use of magic spells, there have been obvious and substantial improvements.

In addition, Schelling also told the two sisters about his plan this semester.

He intends to formally establish a student organization to follow him.

He thought about the name of the organization, so he called it "Mianlongshe".

The two sisters can use the appeal of the Greengrass family to recruit lower grade students to join the organization, and select the best to cultivate them to build their own forces.

In order to avoid attracting Dumbledore’s attention, Schelling intends to make Daphne the leader in the face, while Schelling retreats behind the scenes and acts in secret. The two sisters have been heartbroken and desperate about Xie Lin, and they will willingly cooperate unconditionally no matter what plan Xie Lin has.

The three people often discussed the plan together during the vacation time, perfecting and supplementing various details, until the whole plan was completed.
