Draco has been in some trouble lately. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Rumors of Voldemort's imminent resurgence have spread among the pure-blood family of Slytherin, and although the Dark Lord has committed many evil acts against morality and law, he is still a strong guarantee for the revival of the pure-blood family's glory in the eyes of a considerable number of Slytherins. Some of the Death Eaters' minions even celebrated unabashedly, as if that "good" generation was about to return.

This was definitely bad news for Draco, Slytherin's circle was so big, and when the old master was about to return, he would be in a pretty difficult situation as a petty thief. In front of the great Dark Lord, the wooing of a thirteen-year-old boy seemed so ridiculous and weak. The only way to establish oneself in Slytherin seems to be to become a loyal follower of the Dark Lord. But Draco didn't want that, he didn't want to be a Death Eater, he would never be able to achieve his ambitions. Draco hadn't forgotten what Professor Kate had told him in the Forbidden Forest, that the most important quality of a true Slytherin was ambition, and that a Slytherin without ambition was like a snake that had been poisoned, stupid and ridiculous.

What Draco really wanted was to crouch on the massive organization of the Death Eaters, suck their flesh, and then divide its sphere of influence with the other victors when it crashes to the ground. Yes, Draco wasn't optimistic about the future of the Death Eaters, especially after he had read the history of World War II. The biggest problem with the Death Eaters is not that they are brutal and evil, but that their power is too lonely, as a member of Slytherin, Draco has no doubts about the power of the pure-blood family in the wizarding world, but he is not arrogant enough to think that relying on the pure-blood family can fight the entire wizarding world, but obviously, those Death Eaters think so.

Knowing that Voldemort was bound to fail, the identity of the Death Eater would be a stain, a political stain that would be difficult to erase, which would have a big impact on Draco's political ambitions.

But what if you don't become a Death Eater? Just as almost all Gryffindors worshipped Dumbledore, Lieutenant Slytherin idolized Voldemort by many people, including himself, but he had no intention of following this idol, but wanted to replace him. Just when Draco was at a loss for what to expect, he and Karkaroff were connected through a coincidental encounter.

Draco felt that this would be a breakthrough point, not to mention Karkaroff's current situation, but his position was not secure, and he might fall down at any point, and he would fall badly. Voldemort's recurl would reignite the flames of war, and the Death Eaters, the Ministry of Magic, the Order of the Phoenix, and their own teacher, Professor Kate, were all preparing for the coming war.

In peacetime, Karkarov's status as a principal is a good protection for him, but if the war resumes, who cares what your identity is, and the only thing that can save your life at that time is your strong personal strength, or the protection of one side. It's a pity that Karkaroff is not good in these two aspects, although his strength is okay, but it is definitely not top-notch, not to mention compared with strong people like Voldemort and Dumbledore, even Professor Kate is estimated to be a little stronger than him. As for the protection of powerful forces, since Karkaroff escaped prison by betraying other Death Eaters, he has been hated to death by those Death Eaters loyal to Voldemort, because of his previous bad deeds, he has not been able to gain the trust of the Ministry of Magic, let alone the Order of the Phoenix.

Kakulov seems to have sensed something, he is now like a drowning man, frantically grabbing every life-saving straw, at this time, just pull him, no, just show that he pulls him, and he can squeeze countless good things from this guy.

It was definitely a good deal, and Draco was convinced that he was right, although he was taking a lot of risk in doing so, and dealing with a Death Eater traitor like Karkaroff required special care, except that he had to be careful not to get bitten backβ€”he had no hope for Karkaroff's character, and if this matter was revealed, he probably wouldn't be able to escape the Death Eaters' pursuit.

Although Draco was crazy about what he was doing, he also knew that he was not Voldemort's opponent, or even worthy of being Voldemort's opponent, and that all he needed to do was pull Professor Kate and the entire history interest group into the water. Draco still has a lot of trust in Professor Kate's strength and scheming, and if something really happens, she will be in front of her. In order to pull Professor Kate into the water, he must first get the situation out of the way, which requires the help of Leah, whose father is the head of the Law Enforcement Department and has a lot of Karkaroff in his hands.

Leah gave Draco a blank look and said, "I'm only thirteen years old, and I'm still a little girl who doesn't understand anything in my father's eyes, do you think he'll tell me this kind of thing?" ”

Draco pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's just for you to ask about the situation, and it's not to get into any secrets, you can try it." ”

Leah said, "Why should I help you? ”

Draco said, "You're saying that you're too outlandish, we're in the same boat, shouldn't we help each other?" Besides, even if this matter is messed up, you will be scolded by your father at most, what else can he do with you, imprisoned in Azkaban? Isn't it enough that you don't need to take any risks, but you can do me a great favor and make me owe a lot of favors? ”

Leah looked at Draco's sincerity and said with a smile, "Draco Malfoy, don't play this with me, remember what Professor Kate said?" What price a thing can sell for has nothing to do with its actual value, the key is the importance in the minds of buyers. It's really not difficult for me to help you with this, but this favor is very important to you, and of course I am qualified to open my mouth to ask for a price, say, let me help you What price are you going to pay? ”

"This ......," Draco didn't know what to say, he smiled awkwardly and said, "I really didn't have much preparation, I thought we were more or less friends, and it didn't take so much calculation for friends to help each other." ”

Leah smiled and said, "Good. She turned and walked away, cleanly, without the slightest hesitation.

This damn little girl really doesn't have to lose at all, Draco scolded in his heart, but he quickly begged, "Lia, don't do this, we can discuss it again!" ”

Liya stopped, turned around and said indifferently, "Okay, I'll give you another chance, let's talk." ”

Draco said, "I'm really unprepared, or else, you can be involved in this matter, and if it succeeds, you will also have a share of the huge gains." ”

"My share?" Leah said with a smirk.

"Okay." Draco said helplessly, "Half of yours too, so it's always okay, right?" ”

Leah smiled brightly and said, "Okay, let's talk about your plan first, and then I'll think about whether or not to get involved." ”

Draco said: "Don't look at Igor Karkaroff looking glamorous now, in fact he is sitting on the crater, and his status as a Death Eater makes him never trusted by the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix, let alone sheltered, because of his rebellion, many die-hard Death Eaters have been trying to send this betrayer to hell, and once Voldemort returns, his life will come to an end, unless a powerful force can give him refuge." You should also know that a man in despair is like a delicious cake that only needs some illusory promise to drain his flesh, and Karkaroff is in despair right now. ”

Leah said, "So what can we squeeze out of him?" ”

Draco said, "There are many, Karkaroff was a core member of the Death Eaters before, and we can get a lot of information about the Death Eaters and Voldemort from him, I don't believe he really gave all the secrets to the Ministry of Magic." ”

Leah's face was indifferent, even a little impatient, what was the use of the Death Eaters' information, did she still plan to capture the remnants of the Death Eaters in Azkaban for the Ministry of Magic? She's not an Auror.

What an insatiable girl, Draco thought with hatred in his heart, and continued: "One more thing, don't go to Karkaroff's current identity, he is the headmaster of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Durmstrang is a wizardry school with the same name as Hogwarts, as the headmaster, he can definitely come up with a lot of useful things in exchange for his own life, such as some precious magic materials, or some cherished herbs." ”

Hearing this, Leah's face really changed, a magic school that has been passed down for hundreds of years, you never know how many treasures are hidden in it, if you can get your hands on it......

Seeing that Leah's heart was moved, Draco smiled and said, "I knew that Ravenclaw couldn't resist this temptation. ”

Draco didn't seem to have any problem with that, but somehow, Leah sensed that he was speaking in the wrong tone, and she said, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"What do you mean?" Draco deliberately pretended to be stupid, and it took a moment for him to realize, "You want to pull Professor Kate into the water?" ”

Leah sneered and said, "Is it really what I want?" Or do you want to? ”

Draco deliberately pretended to think and said: "No matter who came up with it, this attention is really good, Kakulov is a big cake, but the problem is too big, I'm afraid we can't eat it, don't forget, this guy has offended a lot of people, especially those Death Eaters who are loyal to Voldemort, we are likely to get ourselves into trouble when we deal with him, so many murderous Death Eaters are not something we can deal with, let alone Voldemort behind them, but it would be different if Professor Kate supported it, Her strong strength and deep city government will definitely be able to do this thing without leaking. ”

Leah didn't bother to ask if he was pretending to be stupid just now, Draco's idea was really good, they were only third-year students, and they couldn't play this game at all, and pulling Professor Kate in was definitely the best choice.

Leah said: "Your idea is too simple, Professor Kate's mind is not something we can control, but we can tell Professor Kate about this plan, whether this matter is feasible or not, and whether it is worth the professor's guidance to take such a big risk." ”

Draco nodded knowingly and said, "Yes, Professor Kate, what we can calculate, in the end, it is up to the professor to decide." ”

The two little ones looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word.

Just as the two guys Phyllis had taught her to calculate her, she was sitting at her desk, looking at a letter. It was a green falcon that flew into her window and brought it with a letter from Sajie stating that they had succeeded in driving Sirius Black out of the Forbidden Forest.

Phyllis's face was gloomy, it had been more than a month, these centaurs were too procrastinating, or did they have other ideas?

Phyllis is actually a bit wronged, and the main reason why it has been delayed for so long is because of herself, the information she gave is too unreliable, and Sirius is hiding near the centaur gathering place with just one sentence. But in fact, Black had no fixed place to live, and the centaurs had searched the entire Forbidden Forest to find the trace of this fugitive, and after five or six days of tracking, they finally caught this guy. Sajie tried to kill Sirius, but this was a powerful wizard who could escape from Azkaban, and it would have to pay a price to kill such a powerful wizard, and Sajie didn't sacrifice her own people to eliminate the harm to the Ministry of Magic, and in the end they just drove Sirius away.

Sirius didn't die, which wasn't a cause for Phyllis to be happy about, but it had happened, and there was nothing that could be done. She adjusted her mood and returned to the small laboratory she had set up, where the wolf poison potion she had prepared for Professor Lupin was almost finished.

The preparation process of wolf venom is complex and time-consuming, but this thing can be stored for a long time as long as it is stored properly. Because it was the first time to make this potion, Phyllis didn't dare to guarantee that she would succeed at the first time, so she needed to do it in small doses a few times to try her hand. In the process of preparing the wolf poison potion, some valuable herbs are used, which of course is made by Professor Lupin, although Phyllis did not understand how Professor Lupin, who is poor and has no clothes, got so many precious herbs, but it should not be easy to think about, and she does not dare to waste these herbs easily. Fortunately, the level of self-concoction potions was okay, and only one of the three low-dose trials failed, and the last two were successful. Today's wolf poison potion is the fourth time that Phyllis has made it, and it is officially prepared in large doses, so she has to be careful when making it. (To be continued.) )
