Bellatrix-Lestrange opened her mouth slightly, looking at the young man who had appeared in the doorway with some consternation, she had even forgotten the sharp pain coming from the scar on her right arm.

The rest of the Death Eaters stared intently at the door, their eyes filled with surprise as well.

Draco Malfoy's slightly immature face was bloodless, and he seemed to be surrounded by fear, but he walked into the room step by step, trembling.

The whole room was filled with an eerie tranquility.

None of the Death Eaters dared to speak, or how to do so.

Severus Snape in the shadows, seemingly unintentionally looking up, glanced at Draco's face with some curiosity.

Draco's pale skin, now sallow in the firelight, and dark shadows around his deep-set eyes, opened his mouth and uttered a slightly hoarse voice:

"The host...... I have received your call!"

......

"Draco!" Voldemort was stunned for a moment, and then his voice revealed a faint pleasure, "I'm glad that you can answer my call!"

As he spoke, he walked over to Draco Malfoy's side, graciously and gently took his hand, and pulled him into the room.

Like a mechanical puppet, Draco was at his mercy as he walked to the innermost part of the room.

"I thought the Malfoys had betrayed me!" Voldemort smiled as he returned to his seat and arranged for Draco to sit next to him, "but it looks ...... Draco, you made a different choice than your parents!"

"Yes...... Yes......" Draco Malfoy took a deep breath and said loudly, "Master, you have given me this gift, and I will be loyal to you!"

His voice no longer stuttered, but became steady...... He suddenly lifted his sleeves, revealing the shining "Black Devil Mark"!

The dark green mark emitted a faint black light towards the surroundings......

The surrounding Death Eaters couldn't help but whisper.

Obviously, the news that Draco Malfoy had become an official Death Eater was also a fairly confidential news between them.

"Well done, Draco!" Bellatrix-Lestrange seemed to react, and she said with some fanaticism, "I thought it would ...... You'll be like your traitorous parents...... Leave with them!"

"Of course I won't!" Draco Malfoy said with some fanaticism, "The Dark Lord has given me a mission, and I haven't finished it yet!"

"Say no more, Draco!" Voldemort smiled and shook his head at Draco Malfoy, "You've proven your loyalty...... The loyal deserve to be rewarded!I promise you, if you accomplish your mission, you will take your father's place, and the Malfoys will be restored to their former glory!"

Whispers among the Death Eaters were heard again, and quite a few even began to point fingers at Draco Malfoy.

"It's my pleasure, master!" Draco said in a low voice.

"So now...... You all go out first!" Voldemort looked up again, looked in the direction of the doorway, and then looked away with a little disappointment, "Draco, can you tell me what happened at Hogwarts?"

The Death Eaters left the house.

Severus Snape was the last in the crowd and gave Draco Malfoy an encouraging look, but Draco chose to avoid him.

Bellatrix Lestrange also tried to stay.

"Get out of here, Bella!" Voldemort said in a rough voice.

With a large room and only Draco-Malfoy and Lord Voldemort left, Draco began to slowly recount what had happened at Hogwarts.

......

"Dumbledore left the school before the attack?" asked Voldemort with a grim face.

"Yes, he seemed to have left in a hurry just an hour ago!" Draco nodded, replying, "He was also at Professor Horace-Slughorn's Christmas dinner at first. ”

"The same time as the attack on the Order of the Phoenix headquarters!" Voldemort nodded thoughtfully, then continued, "What about the aftermath of the attack." ”

"First of all, there was an attack at the gate of the castle...... The attention of the Aurors and the teachers was all overwhelmed!" Draco replied calmly, "Then, the guest of honor invited by Professor Slughorn...... Which Durmstrang Chancellor Winston-Vance suddenly launched an attack on Professor Slughorn......"

"Slughorn?" Voldemort's face suddenly changed, "Is he dead?"

"No...... But it seems to be a little injured......" Draco quickly shook his head: "That wizard named Vance is obviously much more clever than him, but the other party did not kill him, or did not have time to kill him, his real purpose seems to be to release that terrible flame, he wants to rely on it to burn down the entire Hogwarts castle......"

"What terrible flame?"

"A strange flame that can transform into various beast forms, and it can't be extinguished at all, it can only spread more and more...... Several professors couldn't do anything about it...... If it weren't for Dumbledore's last-minute rush back to school...... Draco quickly explained.

"It turned out to be a fierce ......" Voldemort snorted coldly, "It's very Gellert Grindelwald's style!"

"Dumbledore extinguished the fire in Hogwarts Castle?" Voldemort asked, a little unconcerned.

"I don't know...... He was doing this when I received your call...... I then took advantage of the chaos and left the school......" Malfoy replied.

"Very good...... Well done, Draco!" Voldemort patted Draco Malfoy on the shoulder, "Tell me about that wizard getting everything, that Winston Vance from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry......"

"He looks ordinary...... The whole banquet was also very low-key, but it was a sudden attack......" Draco Malfoy replied heavily, "Plus, he came to Hogwarts with a student......"

"Student?" Voldemort looked up.

"Yes...... A student named Christophe Patrick......" Draco replied with a blank face.

"Christopher Patrick?" Voldemort gently repeated the slightly strange foreign name.
