Mr. Lucius-Malfoy recently claimed that he was in poor health.

He even declined the Minister for Magic, Mr. Connelly Fudge, and invited him to watch the Tatthil Tornadoes and Pudmere United play.

So, Malfoy Manor has been closed for several days.

Although this seemingly peaceful manor has secretly welcomed several batches of uninvited guests in recent days.

And now, another wizard with a hood appeared, and he strode into the iron gate...... At the same time, he watched his surroundings vigilantly.

Suddenly, the wizard's face changed.

"Avada Kedavra!"

A green light flashed, and then something fell from the top of the hedge.

"A peacock?" Still holding his wand, he pouted: "Lucius is really leisurely and elegant...... I thought it was an Auror!"

Putting away his wand, he continued to walk towards the palatial mansion ahead.

......

An uninvited guest breaks into the basement of Malfoy Manor.

His steps are light and he looks cautious. Removing his hood, he was tall and rugged-looking, revealing his face full of flesh.

"Yaxley!" As he entered, a clear, high-pitched voice came from the basement, "I told you, there is no important information, don't come here to find me during this time!"

The man who spoke sat directly in front of the fireplace, his face faintly visible in the darkness - a hairless, snake-like face, with a nose and eyes like thin lines.

"I know very well, my master!" the Death Eater Jaxley bowed humbly, "but there is great news......

"I've gained the trust of Rufus Scrimgeur, the head of the Auror Office, who promised to arrange for me to go to Azkaban right away to liaise with the Dementors......"

"Really?" repeated Voldemort, his scarlet eyes fixed on Yaxley, "good news......

"As long as we can make contact and make a deal with the Dementors, we will soon be able to rescue Dolohov, Lukewood, and the Lestrange couple from Azkaban. Yaxley said with some excitement, "Master, give me three months...... Our actions can add a powerful force!"

Voldemort shook his head slightly: "No, I'll give you six months......"

Yaxley was stunned.

"Don't be in a hurry, Yaxley, don't expose our presence. Voldemort replied lightly: "This time we are in the shadows, this is our greatest advantage, don't startle the snake." ”

"I understand, master!" said Yaxley, nodding repeatedly.

"Is there a way to use the Imperius Curse on Cornelius Fudge, Yaxley?" Lucius Malfoy on the side couldn't help but ask, "If you can control the Minister of Magic, then the follow-up action will be easy." ”

"I guess it's difficult. Yaxley shook his head, "Fudge seems to be worried that Dumbledore will take his throne, he now eats and sleeps every day, and he has to bring several Aurors with him, so ......"

"Dumbledore......" Voldemort let out a sneer, and he waved his hand at Yaxley, "Then let our minister be, and we'll surprise him then!"

Yaxley knelt down and kissed Voldemort's robes before exiting the basement.

......

At this moment, Voldemort's scarlet eyes were fixed on Mr. Malfoy.

"Where's your side?"

"I'm sorry, master......" Malfoy said in a stumbling voice, "Crabbe and Gibbon have died, and McNeil, Rohr, and Caro are still being treated at St. Mango...... Avery told St. Mango's side that they had been involved in a Muggle car accident......

"Find out who did it?" said Voldemort with a gloomy face.

"We gave the only Muggle who was caught, the Truth Potion...... But、But he couldn't say anything useful...... "Malfoy's face looked terrified.

"Crucio!" Voldemort angrily raised his wand to Malfoy and roared, "You've disappointed me, Lucius, you lost my diary, and then you couldn't even do this little thing......"

Malfoy fell to his knees, enduring the pain, groaning in pain—

"I'm sorry, master......" he said, still struggling.

......

The basement door was opened again.

A thin-looking figure walked in.

Voldemort didn't continue to use his Drill Heart Curse, and he stood up.

"Barty?" he asked softly.

"Master ......" Barty Crouch Jr. took off his hood with an excited expression on his face.

Lucius Malfoy took advantage of this opportunity and hurriedly escaped from the basement.

Barty Crouch Jr. wanted to get down on his knees and kiss Voldemort's robes.

But Voldemort strode over and held him up.

The expression on Barty Crouch Jr.'s face looked a little strange, and he smiled wryly: "Master, I've been playing that Auror for so long that I have even forgotten the etiquette I should do to you......"

"It doesn't have to be so...... "Voldemort whispered, "Barty, you deserve the supreme glory!"

At the same time, he helped the other party to another chair.

Sitting down, Barty Crouch Jr. thought for a moment and spoke, "Dumbledore knew that there was a mole at Hogwarts, and at first he suspected that it was Karkaroff, but Karkaroff escaped...... So he's cautious now, but he shouldn't suspect me yet!"

"Stay safe, Barty. Voldemort advised, "If something is wrong, run away." ”

"I understand, master. Barty Crouch Jr. nodded, "Dumbledore is gathering the people before him, including the teachers at Hogwarts, some Aurors, and his old friends!"

Voldemort frowned slightly, and continued to listen.

"At the same time, he sent Rubeus Hagrid to France and asked him to contact the giants there......" Barty Crouch Jr. continued.

"Rubeus-Hagrid?" Voldemort smiled contemptuously, "It's ridiculous, just by virtue of a half-blood giant? Lucius...... Lucius ......"

A pale-faced Lucius Malfoy hurriedly ran in again.

"What's the matter, master?" his voice trembled.

"You go tell McNeill!" Voldemort said with some disdain, "and after he is healed, he will also go to France to find the giants and bring them my gifts......"

"Yes, master!"

"There's another message...... Barty Crouch Jr. became even lower: "Dumbledore has been sending people to the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic, and it seems that they are watching or looking for something. ”

"Department of Mysteries?" Voldemort muttered softly, his face darkening at the same time.
