"What! Hogwarts was attacked after the Order of the Phoenix headquarters?" Bellatrix-Lestrange subconsciously said.

One of the Death Eaters on the side nodded and replied, "That's right, it happened just a few dozen minutes ago, and that's what my son told me in the owl's letter...... Now the whole of Hogwarts has become a mess, and the strange marks have not dissipated in the sky, and even the castle has been nearly burned by a fire that can turn into a beast...... Albus Dumbledore was overwhelmed by this. ”

"Master......" Bellatrix was stunned, then turned to look at the man who was contemplating in the shadows, "Do you hear me, even Hogwarts ......"

"Of course, I'm listening!" Voldemort said coldly, "Severus, what do you think?"

Severus Snape on the other side also frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke: "I have to say that your previous guess was correct...... The Dark Wizard who was active fifty years ago, he and his followers have made a comeback......"

"Poor Dumbledore will face two tough opponents at the same time!" Voldemort sneered.

"But...... I still don't quite understand, master!" Bellatrix-Lestrange said in a deep voice, "The Order of the Phoenix headquarters should have the 'Loyalty Charm' as a protection, and around Hogwarts, Dumbledore must have this kind of protective magic...... This is also a great headache for us...... But that older dark wizard, how did he break through these defensive spells......"

"There seems to be only one possibility!" Severus Snape said with a determined expression, "The Curse of Loyalty of Courage is no longer valid!"

"What?" Bellatrix opened her mouth in surprise.

"Severus guessed, the same as me!" Voldemort opened his mouth, his flat, serpentine face looking extremely distorted, "Gellert Grindelwald has mastered the way to break the Curse of Courageous Loyalty, which is why the Order of the Phoenix headquarters was caught off guard...... Hogwarts should have been in the same situation, but Grindelwald's attack was probably just a test, and he didn't even come to England himself, which is a shame!"

"How is this possible...... It's a spell that you don't even have a clue......" Bellatrix exclaimed, and quickly covered her mouth: "I'm sorry, master......"

"Nothing, Bella!" Voldemort licked his lips as he stretched out his long tongue, "Honestly, I'd love to see how capable the wizard who was previously called the Dark Lord is......"

"He's certainly no match for you, master!" Bellatrix hurriedly shouted.

There were also echoing voices around.

......

The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the manor.

"Bad news, master!" a Death Eater rushed in, and when he saw that it was clearly a Christmas banquet with a straight face on the faces of all the Death Eaters, he was stunned and said, "Wait...... What's going on again?"

"I'll tell you later, Notte!" Bellatrix Lestrange said impatiently, "You just said bad news, what bad news? Didn't the master let you go to Malfoy Manor?"

"Yes, Mrs. Lestrange......" the Death Eater named Nott nodded hurriedly, "but there is no one in that manor anymore!"

"The Aurors are one step ahead?" Bellatrix said with a look of concern on his face.

Knott shook his head. He slurred, "No...... There was no sign of a fight, not even the door of the manor was locked, and the food on the table was not even finished......"

"What do you mean, do you mean ......" Bellatrix raised his voice abruptly.

"Looks like the results are obvious!" Severus Snape said coldly on one side, "Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy betrayed the Dark Lord and fled Malfoy Manor like lost dogs...... My guess is that they took nothing with them except a few of the Malfoys' long-standing heirlooms...... Isn't that right, Nott?"

"I didn't ...... That's right...... Severus!" Nott nodded hurriedly, giving Snape a grateful look.

"What are you kidding...... Bellatrix exclaimed, a little flustered, "Lucius's coward could do such a thing, but Narcissa ...... My sister...... There is no way she could betray ......"

"That's enough, Bella!" Voldemort interrupted her a little roughly, "I think Severus has made it clear......"

"Narcissa and her husband have taken refuge in Albus Dumbledore?" Bellatrix was still arguing in vain: "Master...... That's not unavoidable...... Some of it is ridiculous......"

"Yes, there's no way they're going to take Dumbledore...... So, I'm guessing they've found a new master!" Voldemort's voice contained a hint of anger, "But don't worry, Bella...... Those who betray will be severely punished, think about the fate of Karkarov!"

So the Death Eaters were all scared out of the air, including Bellatrix Lestrange.

......

Voldemort, after a moment of silence, said slowly, "But speaking of Lucius, it reminds me of one thing......"

“...... We also have a loyal friend...... He's still at Hogwarts, right? I think we should talk to him now...... Maybe he'll be able to tell us what's going on at Hogwarts!"

"The host...... What are you referring to...... But that's ......," Bellatrix stammered.

"Lift your sleeves, Bella!" Voldemort commanded calmly and gently.

Bellatrix nodded, and she lifted her sleeves to reveal her bare left arm—

A striking green tattoo on it is clearly visible: it is a slightly scary skeleton, and a python emerges from the skeleton's mouth like a tongue.

Voldemort stretched out a finger and gently pressed Bellatrix to make the "Dark Mark Mark" on his left arm.

I heard Bellatrix let out a terrible scream, and then, a crisp explosion was heard in the air outside the door—

The sound of the phantom shifter.

A slightly immature face, trembling a little, walked into the Death Eater colony.

Everyone looked stunned, looking at the young "companion".

"Draco!" Voldemort was stunned for a moment, but a smile quickly appeared on his distorted face, "Welcome...... My loyal friend...... You are very welcome!"
