Chapter 692 Malfoy: The Master's Mission That's All
Malfoy knew with his toes that this curse was definitely not a good thing.
The mysterious man's trusted Death Eater risked being caught by Dumbledore and came to Hogsmeade to brand himself with the Dark Mark. The curse on the jewelry given in the end could not cause people to have acne on their face.
A little fight, right?
It's going to kill people!
Bellacritus observed the panic on Malfoy's face, but she didn't care. This was an order from the Dark Lord, and he had to complete it no matter what. If Malfoy refused, Bella would even use the Imperius Curse to control it.
He, let him carry out Voldemort's mission.
"Then who should I give it to?" Malfoy took the box cautiously, wanting to know who the mysterious man's mission target was.
"The master did not specify a clear mission goal. This is a test. Do you understand, Draco?" Seeing that her nephew didn't seem to be very enlightened, she decided to remind her of this stupid nephew for the sake of her sister.
.
"The more important people you kill, the higher your status with the Dark Lord." She stared directly into Malfoy's eyes and approached Malfoy step by step. "Believe me, if you can kill Malfoy,
Bledo, then you will definitely get a reward that is unimaginable in your dreams, and your father will regain the favor of the Dark Lord... For your father, and for the ancient Malfoy family!" Bellacritus put his hand on
Malfoy shook him vigorously on his shoulders, his tone almost hysterical.
"Deng, Dumbledore?" Malfoy was frightened by the name spit out from Bella's mouth: How could he have the ability to assassinate Dumbledore? Can the jewelry in the box really kill a wizard like Dumbledore?
He didn't believe it. Stop joking, does your mysterious person have this ability? If you really do, why do you let me, a little wizard who is not in fifth grade, do this? You don't have that ability at all, okay?!
After realizing that she seemed to have accidentally spoken out her innermost thoughts, Bellatrix also felt that it was inappropriate.
He was still just a child, and it was really a bit reluctant to ask him to kill Dumbledore all of a sudden. She thought so and changed her words.
"This is just what I said casually. How you choose depends on you. It doesn't matter if you choose an ordinary wizard."
At the same time, in order to strengthen his persuasion, Bellacritus also opened the box and revealed the jewelry inside: it was a golden necklace with a pure gold swan hanging at the end of the chain.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
The jewelry looks harmless, but Bellacritus's expression is extremely serious.
"Never touch this necklace with your bare hands, it will kill you." She warned her nephew seriously. She controlled the necklace with her wand, made it spin twice in mid-air, and then put it back.
into the box. Then he pushed the box into Malfoy's hand.
Malfoy's hair trembled all over his body as if he had caught a scorpion.
"As long as you don't touch the necklace, there will be no problem." Bellatrix looked at Malfoy with a look of contempt on his face: her sister's family is too timid.
Staring at the box in his hand, Malfoy whispered: "Is it okay to choose any wizard..."
At this moment, he felt a little moved.
He could throw the box into the bathroom on a certain floor, and then wait for some unlucky person to come to the door. By doing this, he should be able to get the mysterious man and his friends across the lake, right? Malfoy thought in his heart.
If it is this method, it is not impossible in Malfoy's eyes. Because it is safe enough, you don't need to do too many operations on your own.
However, Bellacritus ruthlessly shattered Malfoy's illusions.
"Choose a wizard at random? Of course you can." Her half-smiling expression made Malfoy panic, "It's just that a wizard chosen 'randomly' cannot satisfy the Dark Lord."
Malfoy:......
"If that adult is not satisfied..." he asked cautiously.
"I'll let you perform another mission." Bellatrix's words made Malfoy's heart freeze.
Performing another mission? The difficulty is too high! The teachers and students of Hogwarts who have already been attacked will definitely be more vigilant, and the difficulty of succeeding will be much higher.
"Why don't I find a prey for you..." Bellatrix licked the corner of her mouth, and a trace of crazy blood flashed in her eyes: "I remember that there was a little mudblood who got very close to Tom Yoder.
How about you kill her and we'll be able to do it?"
"Hermione Granger?!"
"It seems to be that name." Bellatrix nodded casually. This girl has been in the limelight recently. During the summer vacation, she was even in the newspapers with that Yodel. If she is killed, it will definitely disrupt the entire Hogwarts.
Gwartz, to gain a chance for his master's great plan.
As for why the more famous Yodel was not chosen, it was because Voldemort still had illusions about winning over Yodel.
At this time, Malfoy's heart was filled with fear.
That's Hermione Granger! No matter whether her assassination is successful or not, her end will not be very good. This is to offend herself for bringing Tom to death.
Malfoy instantly weighed the pros and cons.
This mission cannot be accepted!
He dared to assassinate Dumbledore, but he did not dare to assassinate Hermione. Because Dumbledore is a good person, and he will not do anything to himself even if the action fails. But Tom is different. Once he makes such a move, he will die.
Burial place.
"Well, okay." Malfoy tried his best not to show any abnormality. He was extremely conflicted inside now.
There were two paths before him. The first was to find Tom after leaving the Hog's Head Bar and tell him Bellatrix's plan. If possible, tell Tom her location as well, and take
Bellatrix acts as a bargaining chip to find a way out for herself.
The benefits of this are obvious, but the risks are too great and will completely bind you to the Order of the Phoenix.
The other way is to implement Bella's plan obediently, but if Tom discovers it, going to Azkaban and jail is a luxury.
What should we do? We can’t drag it on any longer, right?
"You seem to be hesitant," Bellatrix was not a flirtatious character. She noticed something was wrong with Malfoy's state. She stared at Malfoy, as if she wanted to see through his mind.
"No, no...I, I just don't know what to do..." Malfoy felt his heart beating rapidly, and he couldn't help but tighten his wand again.
"Well, there is a proper way." Bellatrix offered Malfoy a trick.
"You can use a confusion spell to ask others to hand over the necklace for you, so that you will not be exposed. You only need to hide behind the scenes."
Malfoy was a little moved by this suggestion. However, he didn't know how to confuse the curse.
After hearing what Malfoy said, Bellatrix sighed.
No? I think you don't want to? She has lost patience with her nephew.
"That's okay, I can teach you... listen up - soul out of body!" Bellatrix first pretended to teach Malfoy the confusion spell, and then suddenly took action, hitting Malfoy with a soul-stealing curse.
Fu's forehead.
Malfoy's expression suddenly became confused.
"You guys usually talk nicely, but when it comes time to serve your master, you all push back and forth. Lucius is like this, Sissy is like this, you are like this..." Bellatrix
He muttered in a low voice, his eyes full of resentment.
She didn’t understand, why couldn’t these people be loyal to their master? Even her biological sister was a child of two kinds. The cowardly gene of the Malfoy family must have affected her sister! Malfoy
Other wizards don't know about the family's dirty deeds in the past, so why don't you still know about it?
Bellatrix controlled Malfoy, gave him a few orders, and left the Pig's Head pub through the Floo network.
Draco Malfoy also left here with the wooden box with a dull expression. He would return to Hogwarts according to Bella's instructions to look for opportunities to take action.
"It's getting late, maybe we should return to the castle." Dumbledore buried the remaining food scraps into the ground, dusted off the crumbs on his robes, looked at Tom and Hermione, and pondered
He said in a tone of voice: "Do you two have any other arrangements? I want to remind you that Hogwarts has a curfew. If you want to stay outside at night-"
"No!" Hermione stamped her feet, her face flushed.
"Really?" Dumbledore glanced at the black stockings on Hermione's legs without any trace, feeling that what she said seemed to have no credibility.
"Of course!" Tom said, "Professor, don't worry, we will definitely abide by the school rules."
Even with Dumbledore's psychological endurance, he almost couldn't hold back after hearing these words.
You, Tom Yoder, follow the school rules? Don't you look at how many times you've been up late at night!
"As long as you have an idea." Dumbledore cleared his throat. He lifted the basket, put away the tablecloth on the floor, and waved to Tom and the others: "I'm going back first."
"Professor, please wait a moment, there is one more thing I forgot to mention." Tom suddenly remembered that there was one more thing he had not asked Dumbledore.
During the picnic, they were really just chatting. They didn't talk much about anything serious. They just talked about the feasibility of installing surveillance in Azkaban and how to take the Sorcerer's Stone. The thing Tom wanted to ask the most, he hadn't asked yet.
Woolen cloth.
"What's the matter?" Dumbledore turned and looked at Tom with a calm expression.
"Are there any protective measures at Hogwarts?" Tom looked at Dumbledore curiously.
"Protective measures?" Dumbledore was stunned by Tom's question. Hermione on the other side couldn't stand it anymore. She answered Tom's question for Dumbledore.
"Hogwarts Castle is cast with Muggle expulsion spells and anti-Apparition spells, and cannot be marked on the map. In the eyes of Muggles, Hogwarts Castle is just a ruin, with a "Keep Out Danger" sign hanging outside.
The sign, as long as they get close, they will think of urgent matters and then leave in a hurry - this is all written in "Hogwarts: A School History", Tom, you really should read more." She said blankly.
Tom glanced at it and felt that he had asked a rather poor question.
"Are there any defense measures against wizards?" Tom was worried not about Muggles, but about potential hostile wizards.
Dumbledore:......
In Tom's opinion, Hogwarts has always been lacking in permanent defense against wizards. The imaginary enemies of this castle have always been Muggles who have malicious intentions towards wizards. As for wizards, it seems that they are not among the founders and successors.
It was within the consideration of the principals. After Sirius escaped from prison, even if the Ministry of Magic mobilized a large number of dementors to block the entrances and exits to the school, it could not prevent Sirius from sneaking in.
"Are you still worried about the Japanese and the remaining Death Eaters?" Dumbledore said softly.
"Yes, according to the existing intelligence, aren't the two of them already collaborating? There is also the ghost that is entrenched in America, the Purifier. These three parties are mixed together, and it may not be easy to solve." Tom looked at it seriously.
Looking into Dumbledore's eyes: "It would be troublesome if they target Hogwarts."
"What you said makes sense." Dumbledore nodded, accepting Tom's suggestion.
"I will increase the protection level of Hogwarts," he turned his back and said softly: "There is a defensive barrier against wizards around Hogwarts, but it is not usually turned on. Once it is turned on, it will unfold.
A powerful invisible barrier contains various ancient spells, which are very difficult to break from the outside."
Opening this barrier should cost a lot, but Dumbledore felt it was worth it. He really didn't want Hogwarts to become a battlefield.
After finalizing the matter of upgrading the school's protection level, Dumbledore left first. Tom and Hermione planned to continue shopping for a while before returning to school.
While the two were wandering aimlessly on the street, Tom caught a glimpse of gold in his peripheral vision. He turned around and saw that it was Draco Malfoy.
He strode past the two of them, seemingly not noticing their presence at all. However, when he passed by Hermione, Tom heard a clear and sweet ringing sound.
Tom raised his eyebrows. The ringing sound seemed to be the sound of the bell on the anklet he gave to Hermione. Hermione always wore this anklet, even when taking a bath or sleeping.
When the bell on the chain rings, it means that there are people around her who have malicious intentions towards her.
So, Malfoy is malicious towards Hermione? How dare he?
"It seems that our classmate Malfoy is not very honest." Tom looked at Malfoy's back and said in a cold tone, "How dare he make an idea of you."
"I wonder what he wants to do?" Hermione also frowned. It's not a good feeling to know that someone has malicious intentions towards you but can only wait passively.
"How about taking action in advance and getting rid of him?" Tom looked at Hermione and gave his own plan. In his opinion, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days? It is better to strike first.
Hermione hesitated for a moment and finally shook her head.
