Ted paused for a moment, giving Lucius, who was already trembling, a little time to digest and relieve.

"Mr. Malfoy, I don't know what magic can bring back to life a remnant soul who has survived, but I know it must be important."

"I can't prove who owns this diary, but Voldemort must know."

Hearing Ted's words, Lucius instantly shuddered. He thought of the most terrible consequences.

"Voldemort isn't dead, at least not completely, I think you must know. Just last year, I saw with my own eyes what it was like to have no nose. ”

"He's not dead, he's going to come back. What would he do if he found out that something he had been reborn on had been thrown out and destroyed? ”

Lucius's pupils trembled uneasily, and the beads of sweat in his head were so clear in the light of the fire.

No one knows Voldemort's methods of punishment better than he does! He's seen it too many times!

Sometimes, it's better to die directly.

"And, he almost killed Draco......" Ted added another stab.

A man is fearful when his life is threatened, but he is brave when his family's lives are at stake.

"We don't want him back anyway. Even if we come back, we will have to defeat him and kill him once and for all. No one wants to do it again, not even a pure-blood family. Right? ”

"Think about it, the last time he said he wanted to make purebloods great again, what happened? More than five pure-blood families have been cut off, and many more ancient families have died irretrievably. Pureblood or something is just an excuse to huddle together to protect interests, you should have seen through it a long time ago. ”

Lucius spoke, his voice dumbfounded: "You, what do you want?" ”

Ted waved his hand, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to threaten you or scare you. I just analyzed the situation with you. ”

"Actually, we are on the same page when it comes to dealing with Voldemort. Except for the die-hard Azkaban loyalists, no one wanted him to come back and harm the wizarding world. Even if you're not on our side, we're going to fight Voldemort. ”

"But we won't force you, Voldemort will. After all, in his eyes, Death Eaters were just useful tools that he could choose to discard at any time. Even Draco couldn't escape the fate of being a tool. ”

Ted mentioned Draco again, and Lucius was really a little nervous.

He definitely didn't want his only son to be followed by a moody, cruel psychopath.

He couldn't have been clearer about what Voldemort was doing. He didn't want his son to follow his own path.

God knows how ecstatic he was after escaping the Ministry of Magic's judgment - that terrible mad master was dead!

But now, not only is he going to come back, but he has also destroyed his "tool of rebirth", and when the time comes, he will ...... No! I'm afraid my whole family will be killed by him!

He may not kill himself directly by one Avada, but let himself complete one difficult task after another, and then torture and humiliate himself again and again, and finally kill himself. They will even kill their own family members first, and make themselves miserable!

This is his style, and he will be relieved!

Lucius's heart was decided, and his eyes began to become firm and fierce, no longer the old yin who was evasive and passable.

He lowered his voice: "Horcrux! This damn diary is his Horcrux! ”

"Horcruxes?" Ted feigned doubt.

Lucius didn't think about whether he should tell a twelve-year-old wizard about this evil dark magic, or in his eyes, Ted was probably a little more terrifying than the young Voldemort.

Lucius revealed the existence of the Horcruxes, and he even had speculation: "I think, Lord...... Mystery, Mysterio may have more than one Horcrux! No, with his character, he definitely has more than one Horcrux! ”

There he thought in pieces, what "I have never heard of plural Horcruxes", what "terrible damn madman", "afraid of death to the extreme".

All kinds of negative emotions have forced Lucius to be a little nervous, and he can only relieve his tension and fear through such behavior.

Voldemort's shadow was too deep in his heart. Now that he was going to be an enemy of Voldemort, he trembled just thinking about it.

"Calm down, Mr. Lucius. I can understand your fears, after all, Voldemort's horror doesn't need to be emphasized. But fear won't solve the problem. Cheer up. ”

"Besides, we didn't say what we wanted you to do......"

Lucius looked at Ted, "So what should I do?" ”

"Do nothing, keep doing Lucius Malfoy. If he hadn't been resurrected, it would have been best, and nothing would have happened today. But if he is resurrected, you will be his trusted subordinate again. ”

Lucius was a little flustered: "He never trusts people!" Even me! ”

"Of course, of course. I'm not asking you to be an undercover agent. It doesn't require you to deliver any messages, and it doesn't require you to do anything with Voldemort. Just want you to know that Voldemort is already your enemy. When the diary is thrown out by you. ”

"If the situation develops when it becomes necessary, you will have a choice, right? Today is just a matter of communicating and reaching a consensus. ”

"Alright, take Draco to the hospital. He needs to recuperate. Oh yes, there's a reluctant request, could you please transfer this house-elf to me? ”

Lucius looked at Dobby, who was lying straight to the ground: "He heard our conversation......"

Ted smiled, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." ”

In Lucius's meaning, safety comes first.

But Ted wouldn't do that, Dobby had his own mission......

"Dumbledore, then we'll go back first." In the hospital room, Arthur Weasley and Aunt Molly bid farewell to Dumbledore.

Ron's condition has improved a lot, and although he is still a little emaciated and unenergetic, he is no longer in serious trouble.

They're going back.

Dumbledore, whose pupils were dilated, came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly: "Well, don't worry, Ron won't be in danger if he stays in school......" Speaking of the back, he himself felt weak. This wound was suffered at school.

But then, he thought of the Chamber of Secrets, the Journal, the Horcruxes, Lucius, Voldemort, Neville, and Ted!

He'd been eavesdropping with magic just now, even eavesdropping on Ted and Lucius' conversations.

It weighed heavily on his heart.

His good student Tom really still has a back hand, and it turns out that he is still a Horcrux, more than one Horcrux. And Ted!

If Voldemort still has the prophesied undead boy Neville to deal with, what about Ted? What about this little wizard who can't hide his light anymore?

Ted deliberately let him eavesdrop, and after the change of mentality, he decided to be more direct and not to hide from the centenarian. Go straight to him.

……

Ted was back in the room, and everyone else was gone.

Ted lay down on the hospital bed, finally able to relax for a while.

At this time, Ron poked his head out: "Ted? ”

"Hmm."

"I, before I...... I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay, Voldemort is so cunning, it's normal to be fooled. Besides, you have atoned for your sins with your own sacrifice. ”

Ron listened to Ted's words and subconsciously touched his buttocks, and it was okay - it grew out. That's right...... It was Slytherin who ate my ass! I hate him!

Ron said, "No matter how wrong I made before, I've already paid the debt with my ass." Right?! ”

Ted nodded, "Yes, a write-off." It's written off, and no one is allowed to mention that Senior Tom can't teach you anything in the future. ”

Ron:......

Ted looked at Ron, "By the way, Ron, your wand died for school." I strongly recommend that you apply for a grant from Dumbledore. ”

"Is that okay?" Ron was in good spirits! The smile on his face could no longer be hidden.

"Don't worry, I'll try to get it for you. The principal will agree! ”

Isn't it, Dumbledore?
