Chapter 466: Friends
Fear!
Despair!
Flawless!
Draco Malfoy only felt himself tremble all over his body.
I must have walked straight past the other party just now...... He was too anxious to see the Vanishing Cabinet, after all, he was afraid that someone would be suspicious of the contents of the Room of Request because of the Potter incident, so he didn't notice anyone at all.
"It's strange, I didn't expect you to become a little short-sighted!" The voice of the figure on the wall was very relaxed, even a little funny.
Suddenly, Draco felt something familiar with the voice...... And it gave him an inexplicable sense of trust!
"Christophe?" he turned and whispered in surprise.
"Looks like you've finally recognized me!" the figure in the corner strode over with a friendly smile on his face, "I thought you didn't remember me!"
Christopher Patrick's familiar face is clearly visible.
"It's you, Christopher!" Draco Malfoy laughed, his tense emotions relaxed.
He strode towards the corner, and the two boys hugged him warmly.
......
"How did you break into Hogwarts, Christophe?" Malfoy asked, curiously, "The castle has been very heavily guarded lately!"
"Hog's Head Bar. Christopher Patrick replied calmly, "Do you remember, that goat-looking hostess...... I used the Imperius Curse on him, as early as the end of last semester was over, and there was a secret passage between Hogwarts and which no one knew about. ”
"I see, no wonder the goat man I saw him a few times and thought he was a little strange!" Draco realized.
"Then how did you know I was coming here!" Draco asked after a moment, somewhat curious.
"I noticed ......it the day before Christmas," Kristof replied calmly, "and I confirmed it even more after hearing that you had used a curse on Harry Potter in this room...... So, when I wanted to find you, I thought I'd better be waiting for you here than wandering around the castle. ”
"I've been worried that someone has found this clue!" Draco nodded, "It's good that you're the one who found it!"
"You've been very careful, and it seems like you've managed to concoct the Polyjuice Potion?" Kristof continued, "and have your two buddies, Vincent and Gerger, dress up as junior boys and girls to keep watch for you, and be smart to keep an eye on them, though they are obviously a little out of focus. ”
"Polyjuice potion? Those were just stolen. Draco replied casually.
As the two spoke, Christophe walked over to the slightly dilapidated wooden cabinet beside Draco.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a vanishing cabinet?" Kristof asked tentatively, after a moment of contemplation.
"Of course, I can't hide anything from you, Christopher!" Draco smiled, he looked rather relaxed, "This is the Dark Lord's mission for me, and I'm almost done...... In a month or two at most, I'll be able to have people apparition from outside the castle through this cabinet!"
"I have to say you've done a great job, Draco!" Kristof said with a serious face, "It's a genius idea, even I can't necessarily think of it, let alone do it......"
"Despair......" Draco's expression also became serious, "Sometimes it gives people motivation, very strong motivation!"
As he spoke, his hands trembled slightly.
"But the despair is over, isn't it!" Kristof smiled again: "Your parents asked me to say hello to you, they've been doing a great time in Sweden!"
"yes, I haven't worried about my parents at all since Christmas...... I'm sure you'll protect them. Draco shook his head, "Because we're friends, aren't we?"
"That's right!" Christopher Patrick nodded, while tilting his face slightly: "Although your trust makes me a little scared!"
......
"Just two weeks ago, I told you all the information...... Tell Voldemort everything, Christopher!" Draco lowered his voice and said, "Just like you gave me at Christmas." ”
"That's great, what's his reaction?" Kristof asked, lowering his voice as well.
The reaction was calm, as if everything was as he expected...... He's more concerned about my mission at Hogwarts!" Draco replied honestly.
"About the Vanishing Cabinet?" Kristof blinked.
"Yes, Voldemort wants me to enter Hogwarts with the Death Eaters after repairing that vanishing locker...... Kill Albus Dumbledore!"
Christophe nodded thoughtfully.
"Isn't it ridiculous that he actually ordered me to kill Dumbledore!" a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Draco's mouth, "Of course, I should just be the bait on the surface, the bait that attracts Dumbledore's attention...... And after that, Voldemort should have two more cards!"
"Two cards?" Christopher Patrick showed genuine curiosity for the first time.
"I'm guessing, but it should be the same ......," Draco replied calmly, "One is Snape, my dear Dean is very interested in my mission, and apparently he is most likely Voldemort's backhand, and the other card, I suspect may be Slughorn, but he has been wounded by your men and is now in St. Mungo." ”
Of course, it's also possible that both cards are just bait...... Voldemort may have a deeper plan, I can feel it!" Draco added, "though I really can't guess ......"
"Looks like you're going to be dangerous, you're fighting against both forces at once, Draco!" Kristof hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "If you want, you can find a reason to leave Hogwarts for a while, and then go to Sweden to reunite with your parents temporarily......"
Draco seemed to hesitate for a moment, but shook his head, "I know you're worried about my safety, Christophe...... But at this critical juncture, I can't be a deserter...... Voldemort is suspicious now, and if I escape, he might suspect you...... I can't put you in danger!"
"Tell me, Christopher!" Malfoy said firmly, "what is our real goal, like Voldemort, to kill Albus Dumbledley?"
"Yes!" Christopher Patrick nodded, "That's only part of the mission, though!"
"As for the other part of the task...... It's to kill Voldemort!"
