"Didn't you hear, Narcissa? Oh, he'll give it a try, I'm sure...... How often are empty words, and how often are sleek behaviors...... Oh, of course, on the orders of the Dark Lord!"

Snape didn't look at Bellatrix, though. Instead, she stared at Narcissa's tear-filled blue eyes, still holding his hand.

"Of course, Narcissa, I will make an unbreakable oath," he whispered. "Still, I can't guarantee that he'll actually get the job done, even the Dark Lord, as you know...... I believe that the power shown by Dumbledore is still remembered. ”

"This is the Dark Lord's mission!"

"No, it's death. Narcissa said eagerly, "So, Severus, are you willing to protect Draco?"

"Maybe your sister will agree to be our witness. ”

Bellatrix's mouth opened wide. Snape also knelt down facing Narcissa. Under Bellatrix's surprised gaze, they gripped each other's right hand tightly.

"All you need to do now is pick up your wand, Bellatrix," Snape said coldly. She drew her wand, but still looked surprised.

"You need to get closer," he said. She took a few steps closer and tapped the end of her wand into the hands they were holding. That's when Narcissa spoke.

"Would you, Severus, look after my son Draco while he tries to fulfill the Dark Lord's wishes?"

"I do," Snape said. A glittering tongue of fire shot out of the wand, wrapping around their hands like a red-hot wire.

"Are you willing, doing everything you can to protect him from harm?"

"I do," Snape said. Another tongue of fire shot out of the wand, tangled with the first, forming a thin, red-hot chain.

"Well, the last point...... "Narcissa," said hesitantly, "if, I mean, if...... Draco's mission failed, if you had the chance...... Are you willing to complete the Dark Lord's mission?"

Snape's hand was held securely by Narcissa. He looked at Narcissa's delicate face with calm eyes, and he must admit that Narcissa was very ......

"I mean, if you have the chance, you'd ......"

"If I have the chance......" Snape paused, "I'm willing to ......"

His expression returned to coldness, and Bellatrix's frightened face glowed red in the light of the third tongue of fire, which came out of his wand and tangled with the other two, binding their clasped hands firmly, like a coil of rope and like a fiery fiery serpent.

"So, you ......"

"Thank you so much, Severus, I knew you would help Draco, and you would still be willing to ...... when everyone else couldn't help him"

Narcissa knelt and pressed her forehead against the back of Snape's hand, tears dripping down Snape's hand......

But Snape didn't say a word, just calmly looked at everything in front of him, Narcissa who was crying bitterly, and Bellatrix who was shocked.

And if you had the chance?

No one knew what Snape was thinking, but for Narcissa, it was a great comfort.

It has been a painful time for the entire Malfoy family for so long.

Losing the trust of the Dark Lord, to be exact, because of Lucius's actions, the Malfoy family succeeded in obtaining the Dark Lord's punishment, which was almost unacceptable in the Death Eater ranks, if it weren't for Bellatrix and the Malfoy family......

Otherwise, Narcissa would have collapsed.

The Dark Lord asked Draco to kill Dumbledore?It was definitely a life-threatening mission, it was Dumbledore, not even the Dark Lord could kill him, and now, the Dark Lord asked Draco to go.

Narcissa was resentful, but no matter who it was, she didn't dare to resist the Dark Lord's arrangement.

This put the entire Malfoy family in a dilemma.

Thankfully, Severus was willing to help Draco, which was definitely a lifesaver for Narcissa and the only chance to save Draco.

Either way, Narcissa didn't have any reason to refuse, let alone ......

"Now, I think we need to negotiate something about helping Draco, you know, it's Dumbledore......" Snape said lightly, looking at Narcissa who looked quite excited in front of him.

......

The evening breeze gently blew through the trees, and in the sky, dark clouds obscured the bright moon in the sky, making the surroundings look a little dark.

The shadow of the dark cloud moved slowly forward, as if a crack had been broken, and a beam of moonlight fell into the village and town in front of him, making the town of Little Hangleston gain a rare brightness.

It was slightly different from the scene in Ogden's memory, and in his impression, which town full of rustic flavor looked a little cold in such a night.

"Let's go this way, and this is Riddle's ancestral home. Dumbledore pointed to a house halfway up the hill not far away.

The house is located on a hillside with a view of the whole village. Several windows of the house were sealed, the roof tiles were incomplete, and the creeping tigers crawled all over the house.

In fact, Riddle House, once a beautiful mansion and the most spacious and imposing building within a few miles radius, is now damp, desolate, and uninhabited all year round.

"This is ......" Van Lin looked at a cemetery not far away, at the back of the church, he had been here, it was in this area when Voldemort was resurrected, this was Little Hangelton?

Van Lin had always thought that Voldemort would choose a more secret location for his resurrection ritual, so Van Lin didn't think about little Hangleton at all......

But now it seems that the father's bones ......

Voldemort performed his resurrection ritual directly at Tom Riddle Sr.'s graveyard......

"Tom Riddle's graveyard, yes, you should have been here. Dumbledore nodded, "Along with Harry, witness Tom's return." ”

"But I don't think this is little Hangleston...... "Van Lin said a little speechlessly, "in that case, I should have been there, Tom Riddle's ancestral home, just across from the Gaunts, the big house, I had escaped with Apparition, and Voldemort had been there until then. ”

"Oh, yes!" Rutherford said leisurely, as if to sigh a little, "I used to be here with that Trevrey, but I didn't expect that just across the street from that house, the Dark Lord's greatest weakness was hidden inside. ”
