Chapter 42: The Diary Is in Hand (Ask for Recommendations!) )

A few minutes later, in the Malfoy's castle, in a lavish yet quaint reception room, Egger squinted on a large soft couch, his slender wand arched under his nose by his pursed lips.

The instinct brought by the elixir told him to wait for the other person to speak first...

Hermione sat timidly on the couch next to Egg, not in the slightest doubt that if Egg hadn't sat here, she would have been killed by the Malfoys.

And just now Egg rudely and unreasonably took off a head melon seed, Hermione is still terrified in her heart.

"Outstanding young man..."Lucius generously sat on a luxurious crimson sofa and looked at Egger with an embarrassed smile, and barely squeezed out a smile on Draco's pale face: "Draco has told us many times about Egger's excellence, this time our son admired you very much, of course, he was also a little scared, as the heir of the Malfoy family, to be honest, I don't like to see him like this." ”

"I want to... Cowardice is also a clever way to survive in the face of powerless power..."The corners of Egger's mouth curled slightly, and his slender white fingers took the wand from his mouth: "I thought you should know this, Mr. Malfoy..."

Egger's voice was soft, and he looked into Lucius' eyes with a smirk.

The corners of Malfoy's mouth twitched, and he seemed to be very unhappy with what Egger said, but considering the murderous look of the other party when he came, Lucius nodded politely: "Of course, this is also the usual way of life of smart Slytherins. ”

"No, no, no," Egg bit his lip lightly and glanced at Malfoy, who was sitting next to his mother, "The real Slytherin will never lack Gryffindor-style bravery, and their nobility will not make them submit to the feet of others, it seems that Mr. Malfoy, you still don't realize this problem..."

Lucius's old face suddenly became a little unbearable, but he still forcibly calmed down, and although Egger didn't say a word, Avada asked for his order to kill Quirrell, although it was not widely spread and was forcibly suppressed by Dumbledore, it was still better understood in a pure-blood family like them.

"Of course, I never doubted the bravery of the Malfoy family, did you say, Miss Narcissa?" Egger pursed his lips and smiled, "For example... When someone threatens your husband's life, I think you will stand in front of your husband, ma'am..."

Hearing Egger's words, the Malfoys showed a rare natural smile, and Narcissa looked at Egger with great appreciation, and nodded without hesitation: "Of course." ”

"But if Mr. Malfoy doesn't have enough status in your heart, then you can't say..."Egger's words made several people's faces a little unbearable, and they felt that talking to Egger was like a roller coaster, high and low...

Egg looked at Malfoy and smiled at him with a very kind smile, "But if it's Draco, then I'm sure I have no doubt about your courage, Miss Narcissa..."

Narcissa's heart skipped a beat when she heard Egg's words, and she subconsciously reached out and took Draco into her arms, nodding reluctantly.

Iger looked at the appearance of the three of them, and accepted it when he saw it, he was not yet Dumbledore's strength, and excessive flirting would only make the Malfoy family rebellious, and the gains would outweigh the losses at that time.

"I don't really understand, Egger." Lucius smiled dryly and nodded, "What are you trying to show us?" ”

"There are a lot of things I want to express, the first of which is—" Egg said absentmindedly, looking at a serpentine relief on the wall, "If nothing else, Voldemort will probably be back in a few years." ”

Hearing Voldemort's name, the Malfoys were suddenly agitated and looked at Egg in horror.

"When he comes back," Egg turned to Lucius, "and when he finds out that his old friend is living a life of peace and happiness, how do you think that perverted murderer will react?" ”

Lucius laughed awkwardly, "How is that kind of thing possible, the Dark Lord has been dead for many years..."

"Who said he was dead?" Iger looked at Lucius as if surprised, "As far as I know, that guy is hiding somewhere waiting for his loyal servants to find him..."

"Tsk... It's sad... Really? Egg said with a look of pity, "Maybe he'll let his old friend do something impossible?" So that they can be sent to death? ”

Lucius's face darkened, and it seemed that Egg had said something he didn't want to think about.

"Or do you occupy their luxurious mansion as a base for your return?" Iger raised his index finger and shook it gently: "These are not necessarily things. ”

Lucius's face became even more ugly, and even Narcissa's face began to turn pale.

Narcissa wasn't a Death Eater, and she didn't even have a Dark Mark mark on her wrist, but the problem was that her beloved husband was once a Death Eater.

"But I guess those are secondary..."Egg scoffed, "For someone like Voldemort, obviously this level of revenge seems too low-level, I guess he will most likely assign the blood of those old friends to assassinate Dumbledore, and if it is done, it will be earned, and if it is not successful, it will not be lost..."

Narcissa's hand gripping Draco's shoulder suddenly became bloodless, her joints pale, and her lips trembled slightly on her already pale face.

"Enough!" Lucius stood up abruptly and looked at Egg with an expressionless face: "I don't know if Mr. Morissus is in the mood to stay for dinner, I'll let the house-elf prepare it." ”

Lucius began to get angry, he felt that the stinky boy in front of him was so annoying, and his title changed from his Christian name to his last name.

"I can protect Draco Malfoy." Iger said lightly, "Even the Malfoys... What do you think? ”

Lucius was about to say something, but Narcissa reached out to stop him.

"Looks like there's a sober man here..."Egg nodded with a smile, "That's good..."

"We have no choice..."Narcissa took a deep breath and looked at her husband, her eyes gradually becoming firm: "We can't put our hope in that person's kindness..."

"Kindness?" Egg grinned, "It's strange where you see his kindness..."

"He's right, Lucius ......" Narcissa looked bitter.

Lucius was stunned for a long time, then slowly turned his head to look at Egg, and said in a low and unhurried voice: "What do you guarantee it?" ”

"I thought you could see my potential." Iger pouted.

"Potential and strength are two different things." Lucius' voice was short.

Iger stood up and walked slowly to Lucius, raised his head to look at him, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Pull it out... Your wand! ”

A few minutes later, in the garden behind Malfoy's Manor, Lucius was facing Egger with a silver snakehead wand.

"Bow!" Iger raised his wand, and the two bowed to each other, then pointed his wand to the ground, turned his back to the opposite direction, and turned around at the same time after a few steps.

Lucius immediately fired a disarming spell, and Egg flicked it casually, and the red spell disappeared instantly.

Lucius kept moving, the wand in his hand tapped quickly, and a ray of light shot towards Egg, Iger waved his hand again to bounce all the spells away, and after retracting the wand, he reached out and several red lights shot towards Lucius, Lucius flew backwards with a 'bang', and the wand in his hand flew into Egger's hand with a whirl.

"Fear comes from weakness." Iger looked at the snakehead wand in his hand expressionlessly, the snakehead on it looked very similar to his lion's head: "I don't even need a wand for you, your strength is far worse than Severus, if you have Severus's strength, I think at least Voldemort won't knead you so casually, Mr. Malfoy." ”

Lucius clutched his chest blankly and nodded in a trance: "You're right, I think I have reason to believe you now." ”

The sharp pain in his chest made him wonder if Iger was giving him a weapon or a broken bone...

"I think the reason why you follow Voldemort is because his bloodline theory in the early stage is more supportive of your status and interests." Iger casually tossed his wand to Lucius: "But the great clan that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years will not gradually decline due to some inevitable reforms of the times, of course, provided that you are not the kind of pedantic fools..."

After defeating Lucius in a crushing manner, Egger didn't speak as politely as before, just quietly looked at the Malfoy family beside him: "The times must change, either adapt to the times and find a lifestyle suitable for purebloods, or live in the shadow of Voldemort, trembling, hoping that one day he will not be killed on a whim." ”

"If you still advocate power and want to follow the Dark Lord, then I don't mind being the Dark Lord and communicating with you as the Dark Lord, but I don't think it was as harmonious as it is now... But if you can recognize the status quo, Mr. Malfoy, I can assure you that there will still be a place for your Malfoy family in the wizarding world in the future. Iger stepped forward to help Lucius up, with a hint of a smile on his lips, "What do you say, Mr. Malfoy?" ”

Lucius nodded a little pale, and followed Egger in a trance.

Half an hour later, in the Malfoy's dining room, Egger looked at this noble and elegant place in amazement, cutting a piece of steak with a knife and fork in his hand, and then gently put it in his mouth, Hermione on the side did not look as good as Egger's appetite, eating in this place always made her feel very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, because of what happened just now, the Malfoys' attitude towards Hermione was unexpectedly harmonious, and in fact, Draco had never said anything about Hermione since he found out about Hermione's extraordinary relationship.

He was afraid that Iger would kill him...

"How's it taste, Egger?" Lucius asked with a kind face as he looked at Egg beside him.

"It tastes good." Egg nodded, "Is this what the house-elves did?" ”

"Yes, our house-elves." Lucius cut the steak and nodded slightly: "Although I don't know which elf made it..."

"Which one?" Iger looked at Lucius suspiciously, "Are there a lot of them?" ”

"Not much, in fact there are only a few." Lucius shook his head, "If you need to serve, I can send you one, Egger." ”

Egger immediately nodded: "Okay, can you let me choose?" ”

"Of course," Lucius nodded, and then called into the air, "Come here!" ”

A few short figures suddenly appeared in front of several people, and Draco frowned, looking unhappy with the dirty things he saw during his meal.

Egg looked at the elves in front of him, he found Dobby, and Dobby had the most wounds on his body, it seemed that this freak among the elves was really not liked by the Malfoy family.

"I want this." Iger pointed at Dobby, "Looks like the little guy is quite pitiful." ”

"You have to watch out for Egger, this guy is a freak and always wants to be free, so don't give them clothes." Draco whispered to Egg.

“emmm… In fact, it's no secret that I like house-elves, and Professor Dumbledore knows that I run to the Hogwarts kitchen every night for supper..."Egg nodded, "If he really wants that, I'll set him free." ”

Draco was a little embarrassed as he saw Hermione's angry eyes.

"From now on, Egger will be your master." Lucius pointed at Dobby and said.

Dobby nodded excitedly, and then disappeared beside Egg.

"Thank you for the gift, Mr. Malfoy." Egger looked at Lucius and smiled, as if remembering something: "Actually, I'm here mainly for an item. ”

Lucius's heart suddenly burst out, and he had a faint bad premonition.

"I'm here for a diary." Iger smiled, "I think you know what I'm talking about..."

Lucius's face stiffened, and he suddenly didn't know what to say, and his heart was faintly a little crazy, how did he know?

"I think you've been having a headache with that diary for a long time, instead of harming an innocent life, I'll help you destroy it..."Egg said with a serious look in his eyes: "In fact, I've basically found everything like that diary, just destroy all those things, and the person you're afraid of will never come back... I think your family's long history should know what it is, so..."

Lucius thought about it for a long time, then slowly left the table and walked in the direction of the stairs, and after a while, he came over with a quaint black diary and gently placed it beside Egger's hand.

Iger picked up the notebook and looked at it, and a few letters on it caught his attention: Tom Riddle.

"Please... Don't talk about it to others..."Lucius smiled reluctantly, nodded a little stiffly, Egg nodded on the side, and a flame burned in his hand, the notebook was not damaged in the slightest, Iger smiled, it was true.

Placing the notebook in his pocket, Egger nodded to Lucius, "I promise you, you won't regret it." ”

"I hope so," Lucius looked like he had regretted it...

Although it has fallen in the direction of Egg, but the act of handing over the notebook to Iger is already cutting off his own back road, which is very unwise for the shrewd Slytherin, although Lucius is now bent on getting rid of this diary, but even if he gets rid of it, it depends on the situation, for Lucius, it is best to throw this diary away without knowing it for no reason and then be picked up by Dumbledore and finally die with Dumbledore.

At the moment when Egg put away the notebook, the last trace of the elixir gradually disappeared, and after a while, Egg said goodbye to the Malfoy family, and took Hermione's small hand and disappeared with a 'snap', Lucius's eyebrows suddenly jumped.

Because Malfoy Manor, like Hogwarts, was cast with a spell that prohibited apparition and apparition, but it didn't seem to have much effect on Egg.

A few minutes later, Egg was lying on the couch in Granger's house, dizzy, and Hermione was looking at Egg with some concern.

"Egger, are you alright?" Hermione's small hand gripped Egger's hand tightly.

"It's okay, it's just a little dizzy..."Egg shook his head, "It's much more comfortable than the illusion from Hogwarts, Hogwarts is hundreds of kilometers away, and the Malfoy family is only a few hundred kilometers away..."

Looking at Dobby, who had come back with him, Egg looked at him and smiled, "That way, there won't be any problems at Hogwarts this year, so you don't have to be nosy." ”

Taking off his socks and throwing them to Dobby, Iger looked at Dobby who was crying excitedly in front of him and smiled: "You are free, of course, if you are willing to stay with me, I will also pay you some salary, how about ten Galleons a month?" ”

"Mr. Egger is really, very, very great," Dobby said with tears in his eyes, looking very excited, "but Dobby is willing to help Mr. Egger work, and Dobby only needs two Galleons." ”

"No, it's too little," Hermione said hurriedly.

Dobby whimpered, "Miss Granger is also a good person, and you are all great wizards. ”

Hermione's face flushed, and she looked embarrassed to be told by Dobby.

"Until then... You'd better clean up your dirty pillowcase. Kaka glanced at Dobby with a strange look in his eyes: "Young Master Egger doesn't like dirty elves, and Young Master Egger likes clean elves like Kaka." ”

It seems that Kaka hates Dobby who needs a salary, in fact, Dobby's weird personality has always disgusted his fellow people, but this is very pleasing to Hermione, and the little girl has already had the initial idea of liberating the house-elves...
