Chapter 30: Before Dawn
Chapter 30: Before Dawn
Lucius Malfoy, who had bent before the darkness, trembled and looked at the man with an angry face in fear. The pain in his soul from the slave mark on his arm made him clench his teeth, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
"Because the Ministry of Magic came to search for dark magic items, they designed a play to throw the boon I gave you into the bag of a little girl named Ginny Weasley?" Voldemort's angry laughter made Lucius want to lower his head, but the feeling of sharp nails cutting through his skull made him afraid to do so.
The pain of the imprint at the beginning of July, Lucius thought it was just a hallucination, but now that the man was actually sitting in front of him, he had to face the real thing.
The person who crossed ten years ago just released a trace of his own aura and made Lucius feel as cold as if he had fallen into the Nine Shadows.
"Forget it, get up, Lucius, I'll go to Hogwarts to retrieve the diary myself." Voldemort let go of Lucius's head and waved his hand, "Gather the Death Eaters, I need an army, but don't worry, it's not that the war with the Order of the Phoenix is about to start again." Seeing the trembling Lucius's concern, Voldemort, who had recovered a little bit of his senses, naturally did not have a brain to tell them what they were going to do.
"Yes...... My master. "Even if I don't say it, but if you feel the pain in your arm, all the Death Eaters will know that you are resurrected, no, this is called resurrection, it is simply an evil soul who has ascended to the devil!
Lucius took his arm and left the study, fortunately, fortunately, the letter that Draco mailed to him on the night of school in Lucius's arms gave him a small warmth, "Balthazar Black is the professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, at least the child will not be in any danger, as long as Voldemort doesn't let me recall Draco." ”
Narcissa Malfoy, Lucius' favorite wife, Draco's biological mother, this woman from the Black family, born Narcissa Black, is the sister of Sirius, the mad Death Eater Bellatrix Black, and a descendant of Balthazar Black.
When he was young, Lucius, who was new to Narcissa, fell in love with her at first sight, and later investigations revealed that Lucius's current Black family was even older and more mysterious than the Malfoy family. The traditional act of mistreating house-elves, even cutting off their heads and hanging them, was something only medieval wizards would have done.
But that's not the point, and in later investigations, Lucius reveals a story that may be the origin of the Black family.
"King Arthur fell into eternal sleep after the battle of Camlan (Sword Bar). Then due to the destruction of the war, the witch Canna who destroyed the country and her lover became the witch of the world, and she did evil for two hundred years in 6 lands, and she was bent on destroying the world.
Then Merlin, the great wizard of justice, led the three apprentices to stop her from continuing to do evil, but the power of salvation was far less than the power of evil, and Merlin was killed. But fortunately, Merlin's only female apprentice, Veronica, has the power of the seal. In order to seal the witches, Veronica swallowed the soul of Mogana into herself, and Balthazar sealed them in the doll. Before Merlin died, he gave Balthazar a dragon ring and asked him to find Merlin's hero and completely destroy Mojana. ”
Among them, Veronica and Balthazar are lovers, and Balthazar's surname is Black, and it can be said that the current Black family is the descendant of Merlin's apprentice.
"It's just that if the legendary Merlin's apprentice Balthazar Black appears, then where is the other legendary king of the Demon Worms?" In the original story that Lucius heard, the final ending was that after Balthazar sealed Veronica and Canna, Balthazar disappeared and went to find the hero of Merlin's prophecy, and Merlin's third apprentice, Horvas, also liked Veronica, and after seeing Veronica sealed by Balthazar, he was resentful and incarnated into a terrifying wizard who would cry when the little wizards of that era heard the name - Horvas, the king of demon worms! He has the power to transform into everything in the world, even in pictures, and to release them into entities.
Legend has it that Horvas found the disease sealed in ancient times and released it, and he himself became part of it, forming a terrible disaster that almost destroyed Europe - the Black Death, but I don't know what the reason is, and the story ends here.
Lucius had even maliciously speculated that the man who wrote the story might have also died of the Black Death.
"Hopefully, the King of Demons will not be resurrected. There's a Dark Lord in the world that's enough for people to bear. Lucius looked out the window with deep eyes, the domestic owl was dropping the prepared invitation to the resurrection of the Dark Lord around the world, and it would not be long before the entire wizarding world was once again in extreme fear.
"Lucius......" Narcissa slowly walked over to Lucius' side with a cup of strong coffee, "Is darkness coming again?" ”
Decades of sleeping together, far from the tacit understanding of ordinary people, plus many years ago, in order not to let the Dark Lord know, Lucius and Narcissa have developed a magical communication method.
Even if you haven't opened your mouth yet, there is no other movement, not even magic, just look each other in the eye and know what each other wants to say.
"Even if I don't want to, but the darkness has really come." Lucius stroked Narcissa's face.
"Like it was ten years ago, Lucius. You're on the front, and I'm in charge of the reservations. "Narcissa was not a cowardly woman, she saw the world better than Lucius. Because of this, the disaster eleven years ago caused more than half of the Death Eaters to go to Azkaban, but the Malfoys were happy to live happily on the sunny side.
"Uh-huh......" Lucius, who had drunk his coffee, threw the coffee cup away, and there were house-elves cleaning it up anyway. He slowly moved closer to Narcissa's face, allowing some of the remaining sweet, bitter taste of coffee to flow into Narcissa's mouth.
At the same time, pure-blood wizards throughout Britain looked at the letter in their hands in horror. With a green fluorescent skull envelope on a black background, the man who disappeared eleven years ago has returned!
I just don't know if it was a coincidence, or if the owl was dizzy, and a courtyard planted with many flowers on the outskirts of London was also delivered such a letter.
"Hey! Eric, come and see, here's a letter. The envelope looks pretty cool! The East Asian woman from years ago picked up the letter and walked inside.
