"Regulus Black, do you know what you're doing?"

Lucius Malfoy certainly knew what he had just done, and he knew what he had lost.

Tom Riddle's diary, Voldemort's Horcruxes, and as the closest Death Eater to Voldemort, Lucius Malfoy was given the right to keep Voldemort's Horcruxes. However, of course, the Dark Lord will not directly state that this is his Horcrux, only that it is a black magic prop, and he asks the Malfoy family to keep it properly. And this dark magic item is a Horcrux, which Lucius Malfoy himself verified.

Originally, Lucius Malfoy didn't care about this diary kept in the secret room, but last night Arthur Weasley's 9 consecutive raids turned Malfoy Manor upside down, and Lucius had to explain the dark magic items left behind by many families, but Arthur Weasley didn't take anything away, just killed the carbine over and over again.

Why is this happening? What exactly was Arthur Weasley looking for?

Lucius Malfoy, who was suspicious, finally thought of the reason! He himself broke out in a cold sweat.

Voldemort's Horcruxes! The Dark Lord's Diary!

After daybreak, after confirming that Arthur would no longer show up on time for a surprise inspection, Lucius Malfoy decided to immediately discard the diary, making sure that it had nothing to do with him, and preferably to be able to strike at the enemy.

Originally, when I was still thinking about which political opponent to frame, I met the Weasleys in the Blotte bookstore by coincidence.

They also bought so many second-hand books! Hehe! A godsend.

Lucius Malfoy casually choked the children and mixed the diary into Ginny's second-hand book while not being noticed.

Perfect! Lucius Malfoy decided to go home and celebrate with a drink.

But when Regulus Black pulled the diary out of the pile of second-hand books, it all became ridiculous.

"What am I doing?" Regulus Black put on a look that he didn't understand Lucius's question, "I've been looking for a book that I believe is unique in this world, and I finally saw it just now." ”

Lucius Malfoy didn't know how to justify, the other party didn't say anything, did he have to admit it himself?

I can't imagine that if the Ministry of Magic had confirmed with a spell that the diary had leaked from him, the identity of the Death Eaters of the Malfoy family would be revealed, and the identity of the Dark Lord's followers would be forever determined to die on Malfoy's family tree.

Pull out your wand now and kill them and get the diary back? This is Diagon Alley, which is absolutely impossible to do, and it is not clear where the other party hid the diary, just now I saw the other party holding the diary, and then the diary disappeared.

Lucius Malfoy had never been more fearful, embarrassed, bitter, guilty, and remorseful.

Regulus Black's usual indifferent face showed a wicked smile.

"Lucius! As for the Black family's assets, I remember that some of them were in your hands. Regulus Black approached Lucius Malfoy, "You know, I'm bent on reviving the Black family, and I'm the only one at the moment, but if my stupid brother comes back and finds that the family's assets have been seized, transferred, and divided, then he'll laugh at me, the rightful heir, and if you're willing to help me, you'll reap the friendship of the Black family." ”

Lucius Malfoy saw that this was a negotiation of conditions! Did he know exactly what the diary he was holding? Maybe he didn't know, but he just discovered his own behavior, confirmed that there was something wrong with this diary, and now dared to blackmail himself like this.

"Oh! So how do you think I can help you? ”

Lucius Malfoy wiped his cold sweat away quietly, and he came to see what Regulus Black would ask.

"It turns out that the Black family has a small dock, and now you are in charge of it, aren't you?"

As soon as Regulus Black opened his mouth, he directly reported the other party's name, which originally belonged to the largest part of the Black family's assets.

"You said the dock! There is such a wharf, although it is a little smaller, and only one ship can be docked, but even this can bring a lot of income every year, why do you think that I will pay you back, or how much money are you willing to pay to buy it back? ”

Lucius Malfoy was threatened to his face, and in front of the Weasleys, and if he could swallow this threat, he would be a ghost.

Want to get your Blake's assets back? OK! Take the money and buy it back.

"Obviously! Lucius, you don't know what these assets mean, for you that's some profit, and for the Black family it's history, and if you want something in return, I might be able to help you get rid of some of the dirty stuff. ”

Regulus Black's words seemed to be referring to the journal that had just arrived, but then he grabbed the other man's left arm.

"It's impossible, no one can do it."

Lucius Malfoy's face changed again, the other party was fooling himself at this point, right? One point is fooling yourself.

What Regulus Black and Lucius Malfoy are talking about is actually the Dark Mark mark.

The Dark Mark is Voldemort's mark, and whenever he or his Death Eaters kill someone, they leave a Mark on the top of the corpse or house.

At first glance, the Dark Mark looked like a gigantic skeleton, made up of countless turquoise star-like things, and a large python emerged from the skeleton's mouth like a tongue. It rises higher and higher as it appears, and a cloud of green smoke glows brightly, like a new constellation against the dark night sky.

The Dark Mark is also branded on the left arm of everyone who joins the Death Eaters, as a sign of identification.

Whenever Voldemort was powerful or in his vicinity, the markings on the Death Eater's arms would burn and become clearer and red. As soon as Voldemort pressed the Dark Mark on a Death Eater's arm, he summoned other Death Eaters, at which point they immediately apparitioned and appeared next to Voldemort to obey his orders. When a Death Eater touches the Dark Mark branded on his or her left arm, Voldemort also senses the summoning and apparitions to him or her.

No one had ever been able to remove the Dark Mark from their arms, and if they could, the Death Eaters who had escaped the sanctions would not have said that they were under the spell, but would have removed the Mark of the Dark Mark from their arms.
