Chapter Forty-Four: Malfoy, the Great Magician

At this time, a person who surprised Harry Potter broke in, he glanced at the gentleman from the Ministry of Magic, his eyes were narrow and cold under the greasy black hair, and the envoy of the Ministry of Magic wisely closed his mouth, he didn't want to say anything in front of Snape - if it wasn't for Dumbledore testifying for him, Snape would have been locked up in Azkaban.

At that time, the most trusted Death Eater of Voldemort who was killed was not Bellatrix, but Snape.

Snape glanced at the Headmaster's office, and Harry quickly hid himself well, and although Snape couldn't see him now, he hid under the rows of bookshelves in the Headmaster's room, and soon he realized that it was wise to do so, because Snape was followed by Filch, and he was still holding the cat.

"Headmaster!" Seeing that Lady Loris was not acting out of the ordinary, Snape said to Dumbledore, "I would like to ask you to come over...... The school may have been hacked! ”

The envoy of the Ministry of Magic almost jumped up, and he nervously said, "It must be them!" Headmaster Dumbledore...... It must be those Death Eaters! ”

Snape stared at him, his somber eyes making the Ministry of Magic envoy a little hairy, and he asked in his usual deep voice, "What happened that I don't know?" He looked at Dumbledore and whispered, "You promised to tell me about him." ”

Dumbledore stood up and said to the Ministry of Magic's envoy, "Mr. Weitzman, I will definitely consider what you tell me carefully...... Now there's a problem at the school that I need to solve...... That's why I'm not going to send you out! The Ministry of Magic envoy hurriedly got up, and after saying goodbye to Dumbledore, glanced at Snape and walked out of the headmaster's office with a suspicious expression.

Filch followed Dumbledore as well.

Now there were only two people left in the headmaster's room, Dumbledore and Snape, and Harry was hiding in the corner and listening to their conversation calmly, Dumbledore's beard hung down to his chest, and he stood up, because he was too tall to have to bow his head slightly to look at Snape, his eyes peeking through the gap above the lenses, staring at Snape.

"Severus, I don't remember you being such an impetuous person."

Snape sneered, "I've always been ......," he said this, but he calmed down, and he whispered, "Malfoy...... Malfoy, I've had some problems. He's been coming to me lately to ask me questions about the dark arts...... It was a very deep form of black magic, including how to enslave a soul and how to resurrect a dead man......"

Harry's heart was on the verge of stopping when he heard this...... His mind was a mess, and he felt like he knew a very important secret about Malfoy - Snape wouldn't know because he hadn't heard what Malfoy had said at the Borgin shop, and Harry was sure that Malfoy had been back to the dark magic shop later, and he hadn't been able to buy the Golden Book of the Sun—because it had already been taken by him.

But he must have gotten his hands on some dark magic stuff - Harry was glad for the first time that he had chosen to steal the book, or it would have fallen into Malfoy's hands, and the boy's sense of justice diluted his unease for a while.

"So you suspect Malfoy got the Horcrux hidden in Malfoy's house, and he's under Voldemort's control?" Dumbledore asked rhetorically.

"A spell has just been heard in an abandoned classroom to the east, and Peeves has been hurt by it...... You should know that not all magic can hurt a ghost, and Filch was sure that Peeves had broken in as soon as he was injured, but it was empty, and he couldn't touch anyone who might have used the Transfiguration Charm or the Cloak of Invisibility. ”

"I suspect it's a demon...... Evil ghosts. ”

Dumbledore shook his head and said, "You should know how much old Malfoy loves his children, and there is no way he can let Decora be hurt...... Even if I traded his life for it, that's why I didn't send him to Azkaban...... Unlike most Death Eaters, he loved his family more than anything else. ”

"So you hope that this will one day make him betray Voldemort and take refuge in you!" Snape sneered sharply.

"Just like me!"

Dumbledore looked at him in silence and said sincerely: "People make choices for love, they don't turn to me, they choose love, I believe that anyone who truly loves others will eventually part ways with Voldemort, because Death Eaters only have hatred in their hearts, and Voldemort only wants to transcend death." It's not me who chooses you, it's you...... Chose me. ”

"You're going to pull him into that maelstrom!" Snape said angrily.

"I'm his godfather after all, and old Malfoy is stupid and shouldn't be borne by him...... So please help him! Snape looked at Dumbledore pleadingly, "Get him back!" ”

Dumbledore solemnly said, "I will protect each and every one of my students." ”

"Remember your promise......" Snape whispered.

Dumbledore continued: "The Ministry of Magic told me that Azkaban was captured and that now they can't do anything about it, there may be a very powerful dark wizard who has taken control of Azkaban, enslaved the Dementors and Death Eaters there, and even Bellatrix died under his hands, and there was a Voldemort's Horcrux that fell into his hands. ”

"Voldemort has finally met his opponent this time, and his Horcrux stuffed with dark magic has finally met someone who can break through the protection above and master the fragments of his soul."

"That's a ruthless character!" Snape said happily, even smiling for the first time in a long time.

"But we also have to be wary that Voldemort will definitely come back and we have a new opponent...... It's a very new opponent, and I don't know much about it yet, but it can make a large number of Death Eaters betray Voldemort, as you say...... That's a ruthless character. ”

"Let me check it out! Hopefully Malfoy didn't make it too bad...... Now tell me a little bit about Malfoy...... I've been getting less and less interested in school lately. Voldemort's stuff took too much of my energy. I'm just an old man after all. ”

"Malfoy revealed very little, except to be sure that he was exposed to some very profound dark arts, including manipulating ghosts, resurrecting the dead, mummifying and enslaving souls, and even involving immortality...... Just a few of the things he revealed made me feel terrible, you should know that there is very little magic involving the soul, and it is either powerful white magic or terrifying black magic. ”

"His magic is getting stronger day by day...... It's not inferior to some adult wizards now......"

Harry didn't listen to the rest of the words, he panicked, and almost ran away from the headmaster's office.
