"I had a bold idea."

In the corridor of Hogwarts Castle, two senior students were lying on the fence on the third floor of the living ladder patio, smiling their eyebrows and talking.

They were tall and short, their faces had shed the childishness of young wizards, their chins were thin beards, and they looked like adult wizards at the age of graduation, if it weren't for the Hogwarts robes on them.

"Don't you like Miss Pols at Ravenclaw House?" The tall student whispered, "I heard that she plans to leave England and go to France after graduation. ”

"That's right, obviously, because of that, she turned me down." The short man said with some sadness.

"I was thinking I mean, in this case, maybe there's a potion that will solve the problem."

"You mean aphrodisiac?" The short man was taken aback and his eyes widened: "No, I wouldn't do such a thing!" I mean, it's illegal! ”

"How could you think that! I don't want to go to Azkaban right after graduating! The tall man squeezed his eyes, "I have a way that is harmless to the others, but can make you get what you want." ”

"What's the solution?"

"I told you, a potion. You must know, compound potions. ”

"Polypotion?"

"This potion can transform a person from a physical level into someone else, doesn't it?" The tall man whispered, "I mean, not just the face. ”

The short man gave a shocked expression, and then quickly became complicated.

"Are you willing to do that? I mean, isn't that a little weird? ”

"We are good brothers!" The tall man patted his chest: "Moreover, I also have someone I like"

The two men looked at each other and smiled strangely.

At this time, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded from behind them, which made the two of them suddenly excited, and they quickly restrained their expressions and turned their heads to look.

I saw Professor Umbridge walking towards the two of them with a gloomy face.

"It's over!" The two of them suddenly turned pale, and they were so frightened that they did not dare to move, and at this distance, what they had just said must have been heard by Umbridge.

But surprisingly, Umbridge didn't pay attention to them, didn't even look at the two of them, looked preoccupied, and walked down the ladder.

The two breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good luck, it looks like she didn't hear it."

"Umbridge looks a little weird."

"What's so strange about her, she doesn't have this expression every day?"

"No, she looks like a bit. Afraid? ”

"You're thinking too much, let's study where to get the materials for the compound potion."

Divination Professor's Office.

Townsend put down the crystal pendant on his wrist and thought silently in his heart.

"It's dangerous to let Umbridge go."

“.”

After reciting it seven times, Townsend opened his eyes and saw that the pendant was turning the clock at a slow pace.

This means that the danger is low.

As expected, with Townessen's understanding of Umbridge, the other party is a pure type of bullying and fearing the hard, and under the psychological pressure he has created step by step, as well as the image of an almost omniscient soothsayer, at least in the current situation, Umbridge does not dare to act rashly.

Of course, Tang Sen himself knew that the soothsayer was not as powerful as he described, and he could indeed see a certain future and the past, but this required sufficient information to support it, and the more difficult the divination, the more spirituality it consumed.

"Umbridge can't stay long, this kind of person will give in to me because of fear, and she will give in to others because of fear, she is not stable."

"But for now, she still has a point in staying at Hogwarts."

Compared to a Hogwarts that is completely controlled by Dumbledore, Townsend is more willing to face the current situation and let Voldemort and Umbridge fend off some of the firepower for himself -

How could Townsend not know Dumbledore's suspicions about himself, he was sure that if it weren't for the current situation, he wouldn't have stayed so well in the castle.

Tang Sen performed a few more divinations, confirming that the current situation was still in the plan, and then put away the crystal pendant.

"The news I released in class should have been met with a lot of rebuttals, doubts and even angry scolding."

"However, controversy is the best way to spread the word, and my name will be known to most of the wizards in England."

Tang Sen narrowed his eyes: "Next, you just need to wait for the bullets to fly for a while." ”

"My identity as a soothsayer will be able to stand."

He grabbed a handful of Floo powder and disappeared into the fireplace with a green flame.

The wizarding world in England is not a very large circle, and almost by nightfall, most of the parents of Hogwarts students had already received the news of what had happened at Hogwarts today.

In contrast to students, some parents' first feeling is not fear, but anger.

They don't believe their children's words, they believe that there really is such a magical divination, and in their opinion, it is obviously a deliberate fabrication.

Maybe the new Divination professor was trying to make a name for himself in this way, or maybe he was instructed by Dumbledore to fight back against the recent reports about Hogwarts in the Daily Prophet -

Parents believe in the latter more.

But whatever the purpose of the divination professor, he should not involve the students and take advantage of their blind trust.

Reports flew towards the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts like a tidal wave, and many of them were parents who were fiercely worded and even sent outright ranting letters.

Of course, there are also some parents who already agree with Dumbledore and Harry Potter's remarks, and have a natural trust in this news, and many parents have written to the Ministry of Magic to convey this prophecy, hoping that the Ministry of Magic will handle it carefully to prevent accidents in Azkaban.

In short, a prophecy in the divination class made the British wizarding world as if it had been poured a pot of cold water, and even wizards who did not have children attending Hogwarts began to participate in the topic.

At this time, a parent fell into a panic.

Draco Malfoy's father, Lucius Malfoy.

In fact, he was one of the last few people to know the news, although he had a son who had studied at Hogwarts and even experienced the divination class on the spot, but his poor son had to clean the bathroom in the castle after class, and he didn't have time to write to him to report it, and he didn't learn the news until the dinner party in the evening.

"Mysteries will attack Azkaban in the near future."

When Lucius heard this, his hands and feet were cold, others would have disputed and doubted this prophecy, but he was a Death Eater, and he not only knew about this plan, but also helped with money and intelligence.

And most importantly, according to the plan, this operation will begin tomorrow evening.

He could be sure that apart from Voldemort himself and the few Death Eaters who were going to participate in the operation himself, only himself, the person in charge of logistics, knew the news, and those Death Eaters had been following Voldemort's side for the past few days.

Now that the news is known to the entire wizarding world, what would Voldemort think?

Think a soothsayer foresaw his actions?

Perhaps, after all, Voldemort's last defeat was because of a prophecy that he would believe in the existence of divination.

However, without verifying the authenticity of the divination, the other party will never ignore another possibility - someone has leaked the news.

And of all those who know the news, the only one who is likely to do so. There will be no doubt that it will be yourself.

Thinking of this, Lucius only felt a chill rising from the tail vertebrae, the whole person was cold, his face was pale, and he quickly left the dinner scene, almost without covering up, he directly waved his wand and disappeared in place with phantom transformation.

The next moment, he appeared in the courtyard of a suburban, gloomy mansion.

Pushing open the creaking door and walking up the dark, slippery staircase, Lucius could already hear the discussion coming from upstairs and the angry shouts of a Death Eater.

Hiss –

In the shadows, a large snake snaked and swam over, raising its head slightly, staring at itself with its cold vertical pupils.

Lucius shuddered, quickly quickened his pace, walked to the door, and knocked on the door.

The discussion in the room stopped, and someone pulled the door open, and Lucius saw that everyone in the room was staring at him, including his pale-skinned, snake-faced master.

"Lucius—" His hoarse, grim voice rang out in the room, "we're talking about you." ”

"About the new Divination Professor, and the prophecy"

"Master!" Lucius quickly walked to Voldemort and knelt down, bowed his head deeply, kissed the ring on the other party's hand, didn't dare to raise his head, just said: "I just learned the news, I didn't delay at all, and I rushed over directly." ”

He could feel a cold gaze staring at him, which made him shiver a little.

He knew how cruel and powerful his master's methods were.

"Just found out?" A Death Eater next to him sneered, "I remember that the Malfoy family also has a precious son who attends Hogwarts, and you should be the first to know." ”

The other Death Eater also sneered, "I thought you had run away, maybe hiding inside Hogwarts, behind Dumbledore's ass." ”

"No!" Lucius raised his head abruptly and shouted excitedly, "Master, please believe in my loyalty, I will never betray you." ”

Voldemort didn't have the slightest expression on his face, but just looked at Lucius with those indifferent eyes, and said, "So, is it really a prophecy?" ”

"It's true!" Lucius said quickly, "Actually, I was going to meet with the soothsayer from the East today, test the other party's skills, and then introduce him to the master, but I didn't expect——"

His expression twisted with fear and anger: "How dare he do such a thing, dare to destroy his master's plan!" ”

"Master, don't worry, I'll contact Fudge and the other Hogwarts trustees, kick this person out of Hogwarts, and bring him to you!"

Voldemort didn't answer him, and the room fell into an eerie silence.

The serpent crawled slowly from behind him, up Lucius's rickety back, using his body as a staircase, winding over the back of the stool behind Voldemort.

After a long time, Voldemort finally leaned back in his chair, looked around, and whispered, "So, another prophet." ”

"I'm afraid you won't forget that prophecy back then, that prophecy about my failure and death."

"A lot of people, even some of you here, think I've failed, that I'm dying at the hands of a baby."

The corners of his mouth slowly opened and he let out a mocking laugh: "But I didn't, I'm back." ”

"I have overcome that prophecy and reversed my predestined future, and now, I will take back all that is mine, if anyone dares to stop me-"

"Kill them all!" The Death Eaters answered, waving their wands excitedly, and the room lit up with a green glow and a black mist.

"Lucius, if the next time I see you, you don't bring that soothsayer, you should know the consequences."

Voldemort drew his wand.

"Yes, master!" Lucius shuddered and nodded.

"If that soothsayer is really as magical as the rumors, I'm curious if he can foresee the future fate of the wizarding world, and if he can, I think he'll make a wise choice."

With that, Voldemort pointed his wand at Lucius and said the incantation lightly.

"Drill the heart and cut the bones!"

Luciuston fell to the ground, convulsing in unimaginable torment, unable to even scream.

"A little lesson, Lucius." Voldemort stood up, his black robe dragging on the ground with his footsteps, "Because you're late today." ”

He looked at the other Death Eaters and said, "Let's go, since the plan has been revealed, let's move ahead." ”

"Master!" One of the Death Eaters excitedly shouted, "Are we finally going to announce your return?" ”

"It's not time yet." Voldemort sneered: "I'd love to see Dumbledore being entangled by the idiots of the Ministry of Magic, and now that my strength has not fully recovered, there is no need to confront him head-on." ”

"The host is thoughtful." The Death Eater complimented, "Just let that fool Fudge drag Dumbledore down, I don't know what kind of reason he'll use to cover it up this time." ”

Voldemort waved his wand, and everyone present vanished.

Lucius finally finished the torture of the Mind Curse, he stood up weakly and staggeringly, and was about to wave his wand to apparition, when suddenly he heard footsteps coming up from downstairs.

The footsteps were strange, accompanied by another sound as the stiff heels of leather shoes stepped on the wooden stairs.

Knock - Knock -

It was like a knock on the door, and each blow hit Lucius' heartbeat.

"Who!"

Lucius shouted.

No one replied to him, only the footsteps were getting closer.

Lucius gritted his teeth, urged his magic, and waved his wand towards the door without hesitation.

"Broken bones!"

The door was blown open, and in the midst of the flying sawdust, he saw a figure emerge from the darkness.

The other party was wearing a decent double-breasted gown, carrying a golden cane, and the whole person was at the junction of light and darkness, and his blue pupils stared calmly at Lucius standing in the room.

"Oh, am I late?"

Ignoring Lucius' pale face and the wand pointing at him, the visitor walked into the room and looked around.

"I'm sorry, I'm really unfamiliar with London, because I've been lost and delayed for a while, it seems that the main owner is gone?"

"Who are you?" There was a faint glow on the tip of Lucius' wand.

"You haven't heard of me?" The person who came showed a disappointed expression, "It's really a pity, although it's only half a day, but it's really disappointing that I have already announced my arrival at the wizard in the UK." ”

"Introduce yourself, you can call me Mr. Red, of course, I prefer another one."

"Magician."

Lucius had just experienced the torture of the Soul Curse, and he was shouldering the psychological pressure of facing the torture of Voldemort if he could not complete the task, and he was not interested in listening to people's tirades.

This is the place where Voldemort is temporarily hiding, except for those Death Eaters who have been following Voldemort, only he knows the location, and now Voldemort has just left, and a stranger actually breaks in

Lucius's teeth were clenched, and he could imagine what Voldemort would think.

Damn, there's no end! Why is it always me who has been wronged!

Thinking of this, Lucius waved his wand directly: "Drill the heart and cut the bones!" ”

The pain of being tortured just now and the hatred in his heart made him exert this unforgivable curse with unprecedented power, and the red light directly penetrated the body of the comer.

Throughout?

Lucius noticed this, and his heart pounded, the Drill Heart Curse was not a spell for physical attacks, a hit was a hit, and there would be no penetration.

Unless it's empty.

He looked intently, only to see the figure of the man slowly dissipate into the air.

Then he heard a sigh.

"It's not a pleasant way to say hello."

"The local wizards are so rude."

It's almost even, and it's a big chapter.
