Chapter 144: Lucius's Folly and the Awakened Horcrux!
Chapter 144: Lucius's Folly and the Awakened Horcrux!
......
Half a month ago.
Night.
Malfoy Manor, Wiltshire, England.
Little Malfoy was already resting, and the old Malfoy's study was still lit.
Lucius Malfoy's face was definitely not good-looking.
The aristocratic demeanor and etiquette of his son, who he loved to preach, were all gone, and there was still a trace of fear hidden in his eyes.
He never expected that in that dirty place in Tumbledown Alley, he would find a precious "black magic prop".
When he opened the black notebook with a little excitement, he never expected that such a ...... would appear
A voice and look he will never forget.
An illusory and transparent figure appeared in Malfoy's study, and young Tom looked at Lucius with a smirk.
Lucius didn't even think about it, his knees were already bent.
This is called being more honest with the body than the thoughts.
He looked terrified: "Lord Dark Lord. ”
"Lucius, you're an old fox, don't behave like that in front of me. Voldemort had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.
"Dear Dark Lord, I have always believed that you will never die, and I have been waiting for your return. Lucius lay on the ground, looking at Voldemort's transparent feet, as if he could blow him away with one breath, but his attitude was more sincere and sincere.
"I'm dead. Young Tom knew best, he was one of the Horcruxes he had made, and if the body had not died, the Horcrux would not have awakened.
Just a month ago, his consciousness woke up from his notebook, and at the same time he felt a death of his own.
Lucius had followed Voldemort for more than ten years, and it was impossible not to know what Voldemort's ambitions were.
Domination, immortality.
He had also secretly searched for knowledge about Horcruxes.
As the patriarch of a pure-blood family for hundreds of years, he wanted to touch something, which was actually easier than Voldemort.
He was clear about how the Horcruxes would not get out of control, the activation mechanism.
Therefore, when he saw that Voldemort was living in a black notebook, he knew that what he was in front of him was not the real Voldemort, but just a Horcrux, because the human soul can only reside in the living person, and the only thing that can be possessed by the dead is a Horcrux.
He was shocked that Voldemort had died, and he couldn't help but have some other complicated thoughts: it turned out that Voldemort would also die and was already dead.
Of course, there is no superfluous look on his face.
Because even if it's a Horcrux, it's Voldemort.
All he could do was the awe, surprise, excitement, and fanaticism of a pure brainwashed ghoul who suddenly saw the Dark Lord, who should have been dead for more than ten years, appear in front of him.
That's why Lucius and his wife are very good at acting.
Lucius's biggest regret was that he was bewitched by the beautiful world depicted by Voldemort when he was young, he did hate Muggles and non-pure-blood wizards, but he didn't expect Voldemort to become more and more extreme in his concept, he just wanted to kill and kill, almost a madman.
It was impossible for him to quit, because Voldemort's power was getting bigger and bigger, and he was extremely powerful, and he knew that the only result of breaking away from the ghouls at this time was the killing of his entire family.
Therefore, he was also very helpless, he was tied to the chariot, and he couldn't get down, so he could only rush forward involuntarily.
After Voldemort disappeared, the wizarding world began to clean up the remnants.
He was wary of suspicion, and after twelve years of suffering from white eyes, he was an old ghoul after all.
But God knows how much he loves to be fascinated by this relaxed atmosphere.
What is it to be blinded and ostracized, and will it make me lose a pound of meat? I go about my life as usual.
It's much more comfortable than staying by Voldemort's side and worrying about it.
So when he learned that he had taken the initiative to "invite" Voldemort, whom he had shunned, to his home, he realized that this was probably the second stupid thing he had ever done in his life.
Then he realized that Voldemort was dead, whether he was killed, or he died of old age, or he choked to death while eating, or he choked to death from drinking, etc., and that was not the point.
The point is that he suddenly realizes that Voldemort will also die.
Don't think he's stupid.
There are still a few more ghouls in Azkaban who are imprisoned, if you ask them, who is Voldemort. They'll scream madly into your ear: Voldemort is a god. If you say to them, Voldemort is dead. They will laugh: your grandmother has a leg, your grandson is dead, and the Dark Lord will not die.
Voldemort's reign over the Ghouls was undoubtedly successful, and for a large reason why he was wise, powerful, and never defeated.
Voldemort formed an idea in the minds of the ghouls that he was invincible, so no one dared to have two hearts.
But because of the death of Voldemort's main body, and how fragile Voldemort's Horcruxes were now, the cunning Lucius still had something else on his mind.
Because he didn't want to endure the days when the whole family was worried all day long more than ten years ago.
Voldemort didn't know that Lucius's mind had such a small theater in abundance.
He thought that this was the situation he had twelve years ago, that everyone should be afraid of him, that his subordinates should be at his mercy, but he did not know the power of time.
Remembering how glorious he was twelve years ago, standing at the top, and then overnight, it was all gone.
His eyes were full of hatred: "Lucius, where is that kid now?"
"Do you mean Harry Potter, he's in Hogwarts right now, and he'll be in second year after the summer. ”
"You sent me to Hogwarts, and I want to see him. "Voldemort is inexplicably defeated, and he needs to find out if the prophecy is true, so he needs to meet Harry Potter.
Of course, he had something else on his mind.
That is to unleash the serpent hidden in the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets.
Voldemort was wary and conceited, he only used his men as tools, he would not trust anyone but himself, especially since he knew that Lucius was smart.
He's vulnerable now.
So he didn't tell Lucius about his important purpose, he needed to control the serpent and use it for self-preservation before he had a body.
After saying this, for some reason, his heart suddenly sank.
What's going on, is Harry Potter really my natural enemy?
"Yes, Lord Dark Lord. Lucius was ecstatic in his heart, he didn't care what Voldemort was up to, he just knew that Voldemort was leaving, and that was for the best.
Voldemort's transparent soul turned into a puff of smoke and drifted into the Horcrux.
Lucius carefully placed the notebook in the drawer.
Horcruxes are a ticking time bomb.
Originally, he was already imagining that his manor would be used as a base camp by Voldemort, and then let him do this and that, contact the ghouls, recruit the ghouls, resurrect Voldemort and a series of deaths, but he didn't expect Voldemort to enter Hogwarts.
What could be happier than that?
Lucius made up his mind: he had to do this for the great Dark Lord.
Then he began to use his brain to figure out how to get the Horcrux to slip into Hogwarts.
It's definitely not a no-no, and if he finds out, he can't guarantee that some people in the Ministry of Magic won't suddenly attack.
Thinking about it, he had a flash of inspiration and a smile, and he thought of a wizard who had antagonized him everywhere in the Ministry of Magic and disgusted him, Weasley.
It would be wonderful to blame Weasley for this.
Not only did he complete the mission, but he was able to get that annoying fly away from the Ministry of Magic.
Lucius frowned, but how to do it had to be thought over.
