420. Surveillance of Malfoy Manor

Coming to the Raven Territory again, this time Scott, in addition to training his proficiency in the transformation of Animagus at a fixed time every day, devoted himself to the study of the magic circuit.

Even the food he eats every day is bought by Tolampo in Hogsmeade.

After five days of intense practice, he finally mastered the use of that set of magic circuits.

After that, he finally took a good shower, slept a lot, and spent another three days researching the [Magic Mirror], transforming it into [Magic Mirror 2.0], adding the ability to remotely receive "signals".

"Now let's try it out."

Oak Cabin, where Scott sat cross-legged in the doorway.

He placed a lizard on the floor, picked up the modified [Magic Mirror] with his hand, and stretched out his finger to point at the mirror.

Soon, a real-time image of what the lizard saw appeared on the mirror.

"The connection is successful."

He turned to Rimbaud and said, "Now fly away with that lizard, of course, the farther the better." ”

"Why don't you let it turn into a bird on its own!" Rimbaud complained.

"Because lizards are less visible." Scott replied, "I'm expecting to use it to infiltrate Malfoy Manor." ”

"Okay, okay."

Rimbaud grabs the lizard with his claws and flies out of the oak hut.

Scott leaned back, leaning back against the wall of the cabin, legs stretched out, eyes fixed on the changing image in [Magic Mirror].

Rimbaud flies fast, and what flies through the mirror is a picture overlooking the forest.

As Scott said that the farther the better, Rimbaud flew so far as he was told, and even flew all the way out of the forest, from the northern Highlands of Scotland towards the south of England.

Scott realized that he wanted to send the lizard directly to the Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire.

Scott originally wanted to test it before letting Rimbaud do it, but he thought about it and didn't stop Rimbaud from acting.

After that, instead of staring at [Magic Mirror] all the time, he used [Book of Prometheus] to communicate with Bill and Lucio to pass the time.

It wasn't until evening, when Rimbaud approached his destination, that he turned his attention to the image presented in the [Magic Mirror].

At this point, the lizard that Rimbaud was holding was far away from the forest he was in, and the real-time footage in [Magic Mirror] was still clear, which made Scott feel satisfied, and at the same time a little complacent.

Rimbaud flies over a small town, over a wheat field, and blends in with a flock of crows perched in the woods.

These are the same crows that Rimbaud sent to spy on Malfoy Manor.

Because Scott had instructed him to do so, Rimbaud did not approach the manor on his own, but gave the lizard to another crow.

The crow grabbed the lizard and flew again.

Looking at the picture in the mirror, Scott noticed that after the crow had flown for a certain distance, it had involuntarily begun to turn in a straight line.

This should be the effect of the spell.

Scott narrowed his eyes.

He didn't expect Malfoy Manor's magical protection to be stricter than the Yaxley Castle he had monitored, and even ordinary birds would be blocked by it.

Fortunately, Rimbaud, who is outside the screen, should have also discovered this phenomenon and sent another crow.

The two crows quacked and exchanged a few words, and finally placed the lizard on the ground.

The lizard begins to crawl forward on its own.

Scott stared nervously at the picture in the mirror, not knowing if it would make it.

But apparently, the lizard failed, and after crawling forward for some distance, it began to turn unconsciously.

It wasn't long before Rimbaud commanded the crow to catch the lizards back into the woods where they lived.

Scott heard Rimbaud quack a few more times, and then saw him grab the lizard and fly high into the air again.

Obviously, it was trying to see if it could break through from the air.

Scott thought the same way - after reaching a certain height, he would definitely be out of the protective magic of Malfoy Manor.

After Rimbaud flew into the air, he seemed to fly above the range of Malfoy Manor as expected.

At this time, Scott saw a forest in the mirror, but he knew very well that it was just a disguise of magic.

Ranpo then released his claws gripping the lizard.

As the lizard descended straight from the sky, at a certain height, it seemed to pass through a layer of smoke.

Next, Scott got his wish to see Malfoy Manor from the sky in [Magic Mirror].

It is a dignified lord's mansion, surrounded by elaborate gardens where every plant seems to have been carefully trimmed and looks exceptionally neat, and even dotted with a fountain for a luxurious expression.

The lizard landed successfully on the lawn in the garden.

A few white peacocks were pacing the lawn and gathered around the lizard the moment they saw it.

Fortunately, the lizard created by Scott with Transfiguration has an instinct to escape, and quickly sneaks into the neatly trimmed bushes, avoiding the peacock's pursuit.

The peacocks gathered around the bushes and began to chirp.

"Oh damn it, what are you guys crazy about, don't make a noise."

At this moment, the voice of a boy with a suppressed voice sounded.

Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Scott couldn't help but laugh.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for little Malfoy, who hadn't been seen for a while, to enter the camera.

He walked over to the peacocks and waved.

"Be quiet."

He lowered his voice and scolded, then simply crouched down.

"Seriously, don't argue, or you'll die a miserable death, and even my dad and I won't be able to save you."

Only then did Scott see what little Malfoy looked like at this time.

It's just that I haven't seen him for more than 20 days, and the boy seems to have lost a lot of weight, and his cheeks, which were still a little baby fat, have become sunken.

His eyes were slightly convex, his sockets were deep, his face was haggard, his expression was still uneasy and frightened, and his already pale face was as white as paper.

"Draco."

At this moment, another familiar voice sounded.

"Professor Snape."

Little Malfoy quickly stood up and walked out of the lawn.

"It's time for your break."

Snape's tone was grim.

"Yes, Professor."

The lizard hidden at the base of the bush moved, and the image in [the magic mirror] shifted angles, and Scott saw little Malfoy walking dejectedly to Snape, dressed in black robes.

"Let's go, you have to finish today's lesson."

Snape gave Malfoy Jr. a blank look, then turned and walked towards the inside of the manor.

"Yes......" asked little Malfoy in a somewhat excited tone, following him, "Professor, will I be able to join you soon, Master......"

Snape suddenly turned his head and said coldly in a warning tone, "Don't rush into the master's business, Draco, remember, you are not capable of doing anything for the master now, so, do what you have to do, don't make a claim." ”

"Yes, Professor."

Little Malfoy was dejected again.

The two of them soon walked into the manor one after the other.

Malfoy Jr. seemed frustrated that he couldn't join the Death Eaters, but Scott, watching the scene, understood that Snape was only saying that to protect him.

Not only that, but Scott is thinking more at the moment.

Snape's presence meant that the double agent was still successful, and it also meant that Dumbledore had successfully mastered Voldemort's tracks.

Scott didn't know why Dumbledore didn't act, but after thinking about it, he guessed it might be because of Harry's presence.

Harry had inadvertently become Voldemort's Horcrux, and Voldemort still couldn't be killed until Harry's problem was dealt with.

At the same time, Scott also gave up his original plan to report Voldemort's traces to Dumbledore.

However, now was not the time to think too much about it, and at this moment he wanted to explore the secrets hidden in this manor.

The lizard soon sprang into action again.

The lizard, which was only a finger long, was unobtrusive, and soon crawled through the large garden and onto the façade of the building.

As Scott had set it up, the lizard crawled towards the windowsill of the manor building.

In a window on the first floor, Scott got his wish to see the Caro siblings he was looking for.

The Caro siblings were sitting and talking with a few Death Eaters, and Malfoy's parents were among them, but unfortunately, although it was summer and the windows were open, their voices were not heard outside.

This is obviously also the effect of magic.

The lizard was lying on the windowsill, its grey fluttering body almost merging with the gray slate.

For safety reasons, the lizard is not allowed to enter the room in Scott's settings.

At this point, it seems that this decision is also clear.

There is a window away, but even a sound can't be heard, obviously there is magic set up in the room, and if you are not careful, you will be discovered.

Scott struggles to identify the shape of the speaker's mouth, but realizes that he doesn't have the skill.

He could only make out the faces of those people, but he also realized that he didn't know them at all.

Even Barty Crouch Jr., who ran away from home thanks to him, Scott didn't know what he looked like.

But Scott still remembered the faces of these people.

It wasn't long before the people who had gathered together to talk seemed to have finished what they wanted to say and left the room.

After they left, the lizard, lying on the windowsill, moved again.

Scott saw the image at the gate of the manor's building.

With the exception of Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy and a young wizard, everyone else walked out of that door.

The lizard crawled on the wall, getting closer.

"Let's all go back, take care to hide well, and wait for the call of the master."

A middle-aged wizard said solemnly.

After saying this, he looked at the Caro siblings again.

"I don't want you to make any more trouble until your master tells me to." His expression and tone were vicious, "Remember, you've already caught Dumbledore's attention twice for your nonsense, and even raised the alarm of wizards abroad. ”

"Calm down, Parkinson's, I said we just wanted to take out that little mudblood to avenge our poor nephew." Amicus Kahlo said in a deep voice.

The middle-aged wizard's voice seemed to be squeezing out between his teeth, "I said it too, don't care how your damn nephew died, that stupid boy, he killed his fiancée and turned the Rohr family against us, which has made the master very unhappy with you. ”

"I'm sorry." Amicus Kahlo seemed to relent, "We're not going to take matters into our own hands anymore. ”

"You'd better be honest." Parkinson gave another warning, then turned and strode away.

After walking through the garden and out of the manor gates, he immediately vanished in place with his apparition.

Several others followed, apparition and vanished.

Only the Caro siblings were left standing still.

"What are we going to do?" Amicus Caro, who had been dealing with Parkinson's just now, turned his head to look inside and asked his sister in a low voice.

Of the two, it seems that Alector Caro, who is his sister, took the idea.

"There's no way to act for the time being." The burly Alektor Caro had a rugged face like a man, "That little Mudblood has been protected by Dumbledore and Flitwick. ”

"Damn it." Amicus Kahlo gritted his teeth.

"Wait a little longer, wait until the master ...... We can attack Hogwarts in the open. Alecto Kahlo said.

The two then quickly left the manor.

Scott could only watch the two disappear through the phantom shapeshift, but he couldn't track them, and he was immediately a little disappointed.

He was thinking that if the lizard could lie on one of the two siblings without noticing, maybe it could be taken away by them, and then find their hiding place.

It's a pity that the lizard he created is not intelligent enough to do that, and he has no way to command its actions remotely for the time being.

However, this also reminded him of the lizard, or the evolution direction of this kind of monitoring product - remote command.

It's just that there seem to be a lot of changes involved, and he only has a little clue for the time being.

Now that the lizard has managed to infiltrate Malfoy Manor, let him continue to keep an eye on it.

As he thought about this, the lizard crawled on the wall again.

By this time, the room on the first floor had become empty, and Scott did not see people through the other windows.

Then, the lizard began to climb upwards.

Scott saw the Malfoys in a room on the second floor who seemed to be arguing about something, but their voices still couldn't get out the window.

Then he saw Malfoy Jr., who was making potions under Snape's direction in another room.

The lizard crawled around the walls of the entire manor building, but other than that, Scott didn't see anyone else.

Including the young wizard who was left behind in the group just now.
