Chapter 287: The Last Temptation and Silence

"Sorry teacher, I failed."

In Malfoy Manor, Ike was on one knee, bleeding from the wound on his abdomen, and he had a large patch open on the expensive stall on the ground.

Lao Fu sat comfortably in his chair, his eyes closed, his head tilted back, and for a while, until Ike was in a trance from blood loss, he stood up and grabbed Ike's arm to help him up.

"You killed a member of the Order of the Phoenix, Mondongues, right?"

"Yes, teacher." Ike endured a trance, and looked directly at Lao Fu's eyes without avoidance.

"Good, that's good." Old Fu patted Ike on the shoulder, and then his hand fell on the wound in his abdomen, and the sharp pain made him grin unconsciously.

"It hurts, Ike......" Lao Fu sat back in his chair, spread his right hand, and let the blood drip onto his robe.

"That's a good thing, Ike." He said, "Being hurt proves that you are not strong enough, your plan is not perfect enough, and more importantly, your heart is not ruthless enough!" ”

"Let me do the math...... Moody's madman, Scrimgeour idiot, and Tonks, if you push a little harder, you'll get even more results! ”

"I'm sorry, teacher."

"Don't apologize, Ike, it didn't work! I hope you can assure me that next time, you won't be left alone! ”

"I will, Teacher!" Ike said firmly.

"Very well, that's right." Lao Fu smiled and stood up again, his hand on Ike's shoulder again, and his tone became much softer.

"Go ahead, heal it, drink a little potion...... Either way, you killed one of Dumbledore's lackeys and many of Scrimgeour's men. ”

"I'm just going to tell you that with your abilities, you can do better."

"I understand, teacher." Ike bowed his head slightly, holding back the pain and owing himself.

"Then I'll go first, teacher."

"Go ahead, take care of your injuries, there's more important things you need to do, little Ike......"

Ike nodded, covering his wounds, and slowly walked to the second floor of the castle. Lao Fu stood in place, quietly watching his back, until he disappeared from sight, then beckoned to the side, and Bella immediately came over when she saw it.

"Master." She bowed and greeted.

"Bellatrix, you've been watching, what do you think?" Lao Fu asked calmly.

"Master, in my opinion, what the little master said is not appropriate......"

"Oh? You mean he lied? Lao Fu turned his head and looked at Bella with sharp eyes, and his tone became much more serious.

"No, no, no, master, the little master is not lying...... Bella quickly lowered her head when she heard this, and said in a panic, "The little master just didn't tell all the facts......"

"Really master, the little master's arrangement is not wrong, I have to kill all those hateful bed bugs several times, but the reinforcements from the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore came too quickly......"

"If it weren't for Scrimgeour and his Aoro, without Dumbledore and his pesky phoenix, the little master could really kill them all......"

"Yes...... Lao Fu said coldly, and Bella still bowed her head in fear.

After a while, Lao Fu raised his right hand, and his wand lightly tapped Bella's head.

"Bella, I'm going to see for myself, what do you think?"

"Please, host ......"

"Regent!"

As soon as Bella's words fell, Lao Fu had already entered her brain. After a while, she suddenly withdrew her wand, and Bella immediately collapsed to the ground, her body convulsing uncontrollably.

"Lord...... Master, you ...... You see it all...... See? ”

"See." Lao Fu smiled suddenly, "It's good, it's all good......"

"You're loyal to me, and he's loyal too, that's good......"

"Go ahead, you go and rest too, get a good night's sleep, it's good for you......"

Bella struggled to get up from the ground, endured a trance and saluted Lao Fu before turning away. He didn't go far before he heard the loud laughter of Lao Fu behind him.

Sounds like a lot of fun......

When Old Fu got the answer he wanted, and Ike reluctantly drank the healing potion and passed out on his bed, the new Hogwarts students were led to the station at Hogsmeade by the prefects.

This group of little beans wore school uniforms, some even wore scarves, but there was a little fear in their eyes.

Beside them, Hermione and Ron, who had hastily treated their injuries, leaned against the pillar of the platform, but their eyes did not fall on the group of little beans like the other prefects.

Didn't speak, just lowered his hair in a daze.

Several times, Ron tried to break the silence, but opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

He knew exactly why Hermione was like this, as did Harry, Neville, Luna, Ginny, and Anthony and Padma, who were also on the platform. Although Ron has always disliked Ike, it is clear that there are still many people in Hogwarts who are looking forward to the day when Ike can return.

Of these people, Hermione was undoubtedly the most hopeful.

But what happened just now dashed that hope...... No one would want to accept a guy who killed his companions and comrades back to Hogwarts.

"Jingle bell!"

While Ron was thinking, a tall figure came over with a bell and an oil lamp. Even if it wasn't the first time they met, the tall Hagrid still made the little beans let out a few screams.

"Alright, freshmen, follow me! You need to get on the boats, and there can't be more than four people per boat! Hagrid held up the lamp and exclaimed, "Be careful, don't fall!" ”

The prefects put the little beans on the boat, and watched them sail off the shore, and then walked towards the carriage that had been waiting beside them.

Walking to the carriage, Ron and Hermione were stunned, they couldn't help but feel a little bitter when they saw the skinny Thestrals in front of the carriage.

"I finally know why the mad girl would say it's not a good thing to see Thestrals......" Ron said and got into the carriage, Hermione one was one step ahead of him.

"Seriously, I kind of like the ...... of the Montungus stories."

Ron's voice grew smaller and quieter, until it was almost inaudible. Timidly glanced at Hermione next to her, her hair was hastily tied into a bun, and a few mischievous bangs hung down and hung behind her ears.

She was quiet like Ron had never seen before, but he was not used to it, and even wished that Hermione could say something he didn't understand before.

Even if it is a lesson for him to study seriously, it is fine.

It's just that Hermione didn't say a word until the carriage stopped, and they returned to the Gryffindor table and sat down......
