Chapter 80: Lucius
In the somewhat puzzled eyes of the three of Rosie, Jiang Jing pushed open the door, took out his wand and chanted a spell at the narrow and dim stone corridor:
"Garon is flying!"
A moment later, the ten golden Galleons that Ah Bai had thrown into the abyss flew back quickly.
Not noticing the surprised eyes of the three people behind him, Jiang Jing caught these golden gallons with a smile on his face, and while turning around, he casually threw them towards Ah Bai.
"Put the money away and don't waste it!"
Belch...... That's really his way of doing things. Rosie sighed to herself.
After a short period of deliberation, the four of them finally decided to divide the coffee shop in the middle of Diagon Alley, and separate to find clues that might help them complete the task.
"According to the description in the original book, Hagrid should have separated from Harry at this time, is he going back to Hogwarts to deliver the Philosopher's Stone?"
"Hmm, why did you just forget to forcibly escort him back to Hogwarts on the grounds that he didn't have legal permission to use magic?"
"Well, in that case, there is a high probability that Dumbledore's request to stay at Hogwarts to protect the Philosopher's Stone will be agreed......"
Thinking of this, Rosie, who felt that she was a little "hindsight", shook her head in frustration and left her complicated thoughts behind.
Compared to Diagon Alley outside the dungeon, the shops here have hardly changed, except that there are more wizards coming and going, and it seems to be more lively.
With a friendly smile on his face, Rossi struggled to banish the awkwardness in his heart while accosting each NPC that appeared in sight individually.
It has to be said that for Rossi, there are many familiar faces among the visitors to Diagon Alley during this time period.
……
"It's like I'm suffering from social cow disease right now."
After complaining to herself, Rosie said goodbye to the Granger family, who had entered the wizarding world for the first time and seemed a little cramped and surprised when accosted by strangers, and turned to walk out of the Blotted Bookstore.
As soon as she stepped out of the store, she saw a middle-aged man with pale blond hair and gray-blue eyes walking through the door of the Lady Morkin's robe store next door.
"Lucius Malfoy?" Rossi immediately recognized his identity.
As if sensing her gaze, Lucius's cold eyes immediately cast him, staring at her scrutinically for a few seconds before moving away with arrogance.
"This arrogant guy really wants to beat him up!" While muttering in his heart, Rosie passed by him.
"By the way, I remember that he was one of the trustees of Hogwarts, and maybe he could be used to get into Hogwarts."
In a flash of inspiration, Rossi turned on the interrogation skill, turned around and said in a deep and cold voice, "Lucius Malfoy." ”
Lucius, who was suddenly called by his name, was stunned for a moment, then turned around, glanced at her with displeasure, and asked gloomily, "What's the matter?" ”
He wasn't surprised to be accurately named by a stranger, for it was extremely normal for the patriarch of an ancient, wealthy, and influential pure-blood family to be known to other wizards for his physical features.
Rosie didn't answer immediately, and after brewing for more than ten seconds, he finally gave up the imaginary evil smile, just looked at him coldly, approached expressionlessly, and asked in an inaudible voice: "Master asked me to ask you, have you kept his Horcruxes?" ”
"You say...... What? ”
Lucius, who was a little impatient, instantly changed his face, and as soon as his frightened voice came out, he was immediately suppressed by him.
He sneaked a few wary glances around, and after making sure that no one was paying attention, he asked again:
"You...... What do you mean? ”
He must be chilling all over his body now, Rosie was secretly amused in his heart, but his face was still cold:
"Malfoy, don't play dumb, you know what I'm talking about."
Rosie's dark eyes widened, and he stared at Lucius without blinking, and only after reading a little panic in his eyes did he make a fierce expression and continued:
"The master trusts you so much that he handed over the diary to you for safekeeping, don't say it, you lost it......"
"No, I didn't!"
Hearing her say this, Lucius no longer had the slightest suspicion, and defended uneasily, "I hid the diary in a very safe place, and there will be no problems." ”
"That's good, otherwise, you and I will both bear the wrath of our master!"
Hearing this, Rosie breathed a sigh of relief.
In Lucius's eyes, this action was a sign of her peace of mind after learning that the Horcrux had been kept by her, but in fact, it was her relaxation after the success of the fool.
"The master is back? Where is the owner now? Lucius asked cautiously.
"That's not what you should know." Rosie chuckled, "When you are needed, the master will naturally go to see you." ”
As if he was a little embarrassed, Lucius lowered his head and coughed dryly, his gray eyes glared at her vaguely and maliciously from an angle that Rossi couldn't see, and then returned to his previous trembling look:
"So, what does the master command?"
Rosie thought for a moment and said lightly, "I'm going to Hogwarts to bring back something for my master, and I need your help." After a pause, he continued, "Don't let anyone else notice anything, especially Dumbledore. ”
"This ......," Lucius hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I can ask a friend to help arrange it, there should be no problem." ”
"Oh, yes." Rosie, who suddenly remembered something, immediately added, "There are three more people, and I need to bring three people into Hogwarts with me." ”
"What?" Lucius looked at Rosie with a look of you teasing me, "How is that possible! One person may be able to avoid Dumbledore's attention, and it is impossible for four people to go together without arousing the alarm of others! You should know how cunning Dumbledore was! ”
"It is precisely because of the difficulties that the master commanded me to come to you."
Rosie's watery pupils smiled faintly, "I also believe that you will not disappoint your master." ”
"Don't use the master to press me!" Lucius angrily whispered a rebuke, "You're exposing me to Dumbledore's sight!" ”
"Huh! The master has returned, and he is about to take control of the future of the wizarding world once again, and Dumbledore is no longer a threat to us. Rosie chuckled and continued her performance in a low voice.
Lucius put one hand in his pocket, took two steps back and forth, and then, as if he had made some kind of decision, said solemnly:
"Since you are four people, whatever arrangement I make will inevitably attract Dumbledore's attention."
Speaking of which, he gave Rosie a deep look:
"I know of a secret passage to Hogwarts, which I discovered when I was a student, and you can enter Hogwarts through there."
"And how do we operate at Hogwarts?" Rosie blurted out, then hurriedly added, "You know, Hogwarts is full of portraits, ears and eyes everywhere, how do we go about our actions when we sneak in?" ”
"I can provide you with four bottles of the modified Polyjuice Potion." Lucius's voice deepened, and he said without the slightest intonation, "When you enter Hogwarts, all you need to do is kill four students and clean up their corpses, and then you can use a little of what they have on them to mix the Polyjuice Potion and disguise yourself as them." Just be careful, and 72 hours will be enough to complete your operation. ”
As he spoke, Lucius pulled out four tubes of potions from the inside pocket of his coat.
Polyjuice Potion (Modified): A potion that allows the drinker to transform into someone else, but has been modified to mix the target body tissue to complete the potion before using it, rather than having to add it to the potion crafting. Duration: 72 hours.
Although he didn't agree with the way he killed the students to disguise each other's appearances, the method of using the Polyjuice Decoction to infiltrate the school seemed to Rosie to be completely feasible.
After taking the potion from Lucius and letting him quickly draw a map, Rosie pinched the pleated skirt with both hands and saluted contentedly: "Arrogant fool, thank you!"
