Chapter 60: Dobby the Eavesdropper

"It's hard for me to imagine a man who can boast of his ancestors," Calvin said, holding up the book, "and of course, putting aside the fleshy touting and some shady dark magic, it's a good book with many secrets." ”

"Mr. Capet, you won't come this time specifically to read this book." Lucius asked as he sat down.

Calvin shook his head, "I'd like to ask how Voldemort is doing after his failed operation on Halloween, and if he has sent you any new instructions." ”

Lucius sighed, "Yes. Yesterday, the rat just came. ”

"He told me that the Dark Lord was angry that I hadn't done my job of kicking Dumbledore out of Hogwarts. It's a joke that he didn't kick Dumbledore out of school himself. ”

Calvin smiled slightly, "It's true that Voldemort's character is true, but we can't take him lightly." ”

"The Dark Lord has given me a new mission to make... Take Harry Potter out of Hogwarts and head to the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic to get a prophecy crystal ball. Lucius continued.

"Oh?" Calvin was somewhat surprised, this task was no easier than driving Dumbledore out of Hogwarts, but the strangest thing was why Harry Potter was allowed to pick up the Prophecy Crystal Ball.

"I've heard that Voldemort's goal in this attack on the Ministry of Magic was to get a crystal ball from the Department of Mysteries, but his plan failed." Calvin's fingers tapped on the table, "But why would he want Harry to get it?" Even if I give you this task directly, it will be much easier, why bother? ”

"Because this prophecy is for Harry and the Dark Lord," Lucius glanced at Calvin with some disdain, but instantly turned back to respect, "Only the people mentioned in the prophecy can pick up the crystal ball, so the Dark Lord's first attack on the Ministry of Magic failed." ”

"I see," Calvin nodded, "do you know what that prophecy says?" ”

Lucius shook his head wordlessly.

"Well," Calvin raised an eyebrow, "then what are you going to do, how are you going to deal with the task that Voldemort has given you?" ”

Lucius didn't speak, instead looked at Calvin with some fidgeting, "I don't know, I feel... The Dark Lord didn't know about this mission, he did it on purpose, and wanted to use you and Dumbledore to kill me. If I'm dead, Narcissa, and Draco......"

"Mr. Capet, you're going to have to figure it out for me." Lucius said almost pleadingly.

Calvin stood up and put the book in his hand where it had been, "Voldemort must have bad intentions when he gave you this impossible task. So I advise you to do as he says. ”

"Mr. Capet, you're not kidding, you should know that this kind of task is impossible!"

"Don't worry," Calvin put his hand on Lucius' shoulder, "isn't that just tricking Harry out?" I'll cooperate with you. ”

"Bell!" The sound of metal clashing sounded outside the door.

"Who's out there!" Calvin opened the door with his magic, and a skinny little elf in tattered clothes walked in, looking particularly ugly under the dim oil lamp.

"Master, Mr. Cape," the house-elf bowed humbly, "I'll clean up." ”

"Dobby!" Lucius reprimanded sharply, "Don't say anything you hear outside." You are not allowed to come in now, and you can clean up here after I leave. ”

Dobby, a little frightened, bowed deeply, and left the cramped study in a panic.

"Go on, Mr. Capet."

Dobby's unexpected appearance had little effect on Lucius, but Calvin came to the door and glanced at Dobby as he trotted away.

"You seem to be at ease with house-elves?"

"Of course, these house-elves have been in our family for more than ten generations, they are very loyal, and there has never been a betrayal of the family."

From Lucius's tone, Calvin could still hear a hint of the pride of the Divine Twenty-Eight.

"Hmph, loyalty," Calvin sneered, "Mr. Malfoy, let me remind you, house-elves have their own minds. While their actions may be subject to magic, their souls are not. ”

"Mr. Cape, you've smeared me with a lake," Lucius was a little puzzled, "a house-elf never betrays his master... If you're not at ease, I'll deal with Dobby in a moment. ”

Calvin shook his head, "There's no need for that. ”

"Where did I just go, oh yes, I'll work with you to get Harry out."

"Fake Harry, of course."

"I'll use Polyjuice Potion to conjure up a fake Harry and make a fake crystal ball."

"Voldemort definitely wants to get the crystal ball as soon as possible, and he will definitely send someone to take it from you. When the time comes, I will destroy all the Death Eaters he has sent. ”

"Of course, this is only a rough plan, and many details need to be added slowly."

"Ah, Mr. Capet, but I ......" Lucius was not sure if he would survive if he did so.

"Don't worry," Calvin patted Lucius on the shoulder, "your mission is simply to bring Harry to the Ministry of Magic and have him take out the crystal ball.

In this respect, your mission has been completed, and it is the person sent by Voldemort to protect the crystal ball who has not completed the mission, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

However, Lucius was still a little worried, "Mr. Capet, you should know the character of the Dark Lord, just say that, he will not let me go." ”

"That's easy," Calvin said softly as he slapped Lucius in his ear, ruffling his hair, "and then he will arrest you so he won't suspect you." Rest assured, your wife and Draco will be fine. ”

Lucius shuddered unconsciously, "Is there any other way?" ”

"Yes, yes, but I don't want to use it." Calvin sat down across from Lucius again, "I've put up with that rat for a long time, and I've got to catch him this time." ”

"But......" Lucius stopped talking, but Calvin motioned for him to continue.

"But if you want to catch Peter, why don't you say it sooner, I could have dragged him down yesterday."

Calvin looked at Lucius in feigned surprise.

"Lucius Malfoy, don't you understand your worth?"

"A spy who has access to Voldemort is much more valuable than a mouse. What I need is how to catch Peter without exposing you. ”

Lucius lowered his head, "With all due respect, sir. The job of a spy is really not something that ordinary people can do. ”

"Even though I've learned Occlumency, I'm still worried that one day the Dark Lord will find out and Narcissa and Draco will be killed by him......"

"Yes, Lucius," Calvin's tone softened suddenly, "the job of a spy is not something ordinary people can do. But for the sake of the people you love, you have to keep doing it. ghost”
