In the dark room of Malfoy Manor, Draco Malfoy sat on a chair with his hands around his knees, looking at the broken mirror in front of him in a daze.
A few days ago, the Malfoy family underwent earth-shaking changes.
Draco's father, Lucius, not only failed in his plan to lead people to raid the Mudblood wedding, but he was also stupid enough to lead others into a trap set by the Ministry of Magic. As a result, many dark wizards who responded to him were caught and even lost their lives as a result.
.
The reputation of the Malfoy family was ruined overnight. Lucius, who had always been Draco's role model, became a loser in the mouths of countless Death Eaters. He and his mother also became hated and despised by Death Eaters.
Because of Lucius' stupidity, the Death Eaters and those who believed in him suffered heavy losses.
Bad luck seemed to have entangled the Malfoy family. Shortly after the Ministry of Magic's victory, a pair of Aurors visited the Malfoy Manor and brought them a letter from home and a fine of fifty thousand Galleons.
This was definitely the craziest thing Draco had ever seen in his life.
That damn Scrimgeour actually threatened them that if the Malfoy family was unwilling to pay a high fine of fifty thousand, his father Lucius would not have the chance to enter the courtroom.
Pay the money, or die.
That was the handwriting of his father Lucius, and Draco would never admit it even if he died. In this letter from home, Lucius secretly mentioned that there were two other wizards who enjoyed similar treatment. As for the other captured predators,
All of the Dead Apostles were "arrested and killed".
Regardless of whether he was actually killed due to arrest, he was dead anyway.
Fifty thousand Galleons was a huge sum of money for the wealthy Malfoy family, but it was not impossible to come up with. However, what was even worse was that two other Death Eater family members who had also received similar letters came to their door.
The fines for the three of them amounted to 100,000 galleons.
It's just plain robbery.
Even the wealthy Malfoy family may not be able to collect this fine in a short time.
However, the most ridiculous thing is that because they are pure-blood wizards, they have the privilege of being fined and exempted from death. Look at several other unlucky Death Eaters who died on the day they were caught.
The situation of other captured dark wizards was even more unlucky. Not only were they publicly tried using veritaserum, but the most serious crimes were directly executed on the same day.
It is said that the new minister Scrimgeour set an example and personally executed the first batch of prisoners. Currently, dark wizards are being executed every day.
No, it should be said that since Scrimgeour took office, he was either participating in the trial or on the way to kill people every day. He even shouted directly: Only those who were killed by them have the power to forgive them, and we are only responsible for sending them to those who
Slogans of repentance for those they killed.
Scrimgeour was even given the title of Minister Executioner.
However, those who thought Scrimgeour was cruel and tried to discredit him were all arranged by Scrimgeour to participate in truth-telling interviews.
Most of the opponents were disgraced and became scorned by the wizarding world.
The Death Eaters had tried to make him pay, but there was no one at home, and the dark wizards who tried to burn down their home were caught by ambushed Aurors and publicly executed for the seriousness of their crimes because of the overwhelming evidence.
Scrimgeour even publicly stated that he would fight against the forces of darkness until he was killed during his term of office, becoming the most iron-blooded minister in the history of the wizarding world.
And his father was still lucky to be imprisoned in Azkaban Prison.
Because he is still alive and everyone else is dead.
However, this caused other dark wizards and Death Eaters to hate Malfoy for organizing the operation even more, and even suspected him of betraying the Dark Lord.
After his father was captured and sent to Azkaban, Draco's originally happy life fell apart.
After Voldemort's resurrection, the Malfoy family failed to return to its former glory, nor was it respected under the new regime. He himself was not highly sought after as the son of Voldemort's second-in-command.
Everything is just a fantasy.
The Malfoy family almost collapsed because of his father Lucius's successive failures. His mother was distraught and at a loss, and Draco had to take on the responsibility of a man and revive the Malfoy family.
However, before Draco Malfoy could figure out a way to revive the Malfoy family, another bad news came: the Dark Lord wanted to see him.
All this made Draco feel extremely frightened. Although he had imagined the scene of Voldemort's victory, he never thought that he would face the Dark Lord directly.
There was a knock on the wooden door, and his mother Narcissa and Aunt Bella were standing outside.
"Draco, are you ready?" Narcissa said with a trembling voice.
"Be happy Narcissa, I think this should be Draco's first time meeting the Dark Lord." Bellatrix said excitedly: "You should be proud of this."
Narcissa looked at her sister with trembling lips, but said nothing. She never thought it was a good thing for the Dark Lord to summon Draco at this time.
Draco put on decent clothes, and with the help of Bellatrix, he successfully met the legendary Dark Lord.
There is no awe.
Voldemort terrified Draco.
"Lucius failed. Not only was he caught, but he also hooked up with many people." Voldemort's cold voice contained anger, which made Draco tremble and lower his head. He did not have the courage to look directly into the Dark Lord's eyes.
"Malfoy is an ancient family. You can only take back your glory by yourself." Voldemort looked at Lucius Malfoy's son and said coldly, "I will give you another chance."
"What chance?" Malfoy asked, trembling his lips.
"A very secret plan is entrusted to you to execute." Voldemort said coldly, "I want you to murder Albus Dumbledore."
"Yes, as long as you can successfully kill Dumbledore, the Malfoy family will be able to regain its glory, and I will personally release Lucius from Azkaban." Voldemort used his scarlet eyes.
Staring at Draco Malfoy, "And you will be honored above all others."
"I do." Draco said firmly.
"Very well, stretch out your left arm, and I will grant you the qualifications to become a Death Eater. Don't let me down again." Voldemort looked at little Malfoy, whose arm was trembling slightly, and warned: "If you fail,
Escape or surrender, the Malfoy family will no longer have any glory to speak of, and you and your family will pay the price with your lives."
"I will succeed."
Draco accepted the formal membership of the Death Eaters. He wanted his father to return to Voldemort's favor and the Malfoy family to regain its own glory.
Draco quickly convinced himself that murdering Dumbledore did not cause him much psychological stress.
Because people who oppose Voldemort have been surrounding the Principal of Hogwarts. As long as there is no Principal of Hogwarts, the Dark Lord will rule the wizarding world again, and he believes that the world will become a better place.
Voldemort was obviously satisfied with this and raised his wand to brand Draco's arm with the Dark Mark.
"Master, what should I do?"
Draco lowered his head and asked. He was a little confused because the Dark Lord had no requirements for his plan to murder Dumbledore.
"Do what you want and do everything you can to kill Dumbledore." Voldemort looked at Draco, who was full of desire for revenge, and was very satisfied.
He didn't care whether Draco Malfoy could kill Dumbledore, because this plan was not originally executed by him, but if he succeeded, it would be the best and it would help him solve a big trouble.
If it fails, then Lucius Malfoy will taste the pain of losing his son, which Voldemort believes is the greatest punishment for Lucius.
Looking at the Dark Mark on his arm, Draco left respectfully, knowing that he still had hope to restore the glory of the Malfoy family.
After meeting his mother and aunt Bella, Draco told them the mission given to him by the Dark Lord.
"Draco, I'm proud of you," Bellatrix said excitedly, "Narcissa, you should be happy, the Dark Lord has given Draco a high honor."
Narcissa trembled and hugged her son, crying silently.
"Mom, I will succeed, but... I need help. The Dark Lord didn't ask me what to do, and he didn't let me tell others about the plan... I need a strict plan and more helpers. Just rely on
I can't kill Dumbledore on my own."
"I'm glad you didn't flinch when faced with responsibilities." Bellatrix patted Draco's shoulder gently, "I will teach you what to do. As for helpers, that's not a problem."
"Let me go back and think of a solution first." Draco was already overwhelmed by anger. He just wanted to complete the task and restore the glory of the Malfoy family.
Watching her son leave, Narcissa collapsed on the floor and sobbed. She knew that this was the Dark Lord's attempt to avenge Lucius' failure. The Dark Lord never thought that his son could succeed, and only wanted him to die.
!
"Draco has grown up, you should be happy for him." Bellatrix said coldly, "Furthermore, Draco is also very happy to have the opportunity to prove his abilities."
"Draco is just a child, he is only sixteen years old." Narcissa stared at her sister pleadingly.
"Don't worry Narcissa, I will help Draco." Bella said excitedly, "You should believe that Draco can kill Dumbledore."
"How could Draco succeed!" Narcissa cried, "Not even the Dark Lord could kill Dumbledore."
"How dare you..." Bellatrix gasped.
"He is my only son..." Narcissa tugged at her long golden hair frantically.
