Who let this Dementor into Hogwarts!

Chapter 86 Returning to Azkaban is like going home

Lucius chose to believe Cohen.

The diary was given to him by Voldemort, and it was impossible for anyone else to know it.

And the golden cup in Lestrange's vault...even Lucius had never heard of it. If he was not on Voldemort's side, it would be even more impossible for him to know about it.

Choosing to help the Dark Lord after hearing the news was a great achievement. Even if the news was wrong, he had reason to say that he was too impatient and trusted the wrong person - but if he chose to refuse to help the Dark Lord after hearing the news... Lucius could already see himself being buried in the Malfoy family cemetery.

"Of course I can get into the Lestrange vault for you—if there's something that can prove your identity..." Lucius said, "But Azkaban..."

Although it is said that Coin has a part of the Dementor's "bloodline", he still looks like a human being...

"I need someone—"

"No need for connections for this." Cohen raised his eyebrows. "Isn't returning to Azkaban like going home?"

As he spoke, Cohen shook himself and gave Lucius a little high-level Dementor shock.

A huge, decayed black-robed figure replaced the dark-haired boy who had stood across from Lucius, draining the warmth from the air and his soul.

Lucius took a breath and subconsciously took a few steps back, bumping into the cabinet behind him and almost knocking down the vase on it.

A chill rushed into his lungs and he felt like even his breath was frozen.

Some terrible memories are flooding into my mind uncontrollably.

"Stop, stop!" Lucius said hurriedly. "I know—I know—"

Dark wizards like him had no way to deal with Dementors, and generally speaking those creatures would not take the initiative to cause trouble to them - they were usually allies of Dementors rather than food.

He also knew that the attack methods of the disgusting creatures like Dementors were direct attacks on the soul...

"I almost forgot, you don't know how to use the Patronus Charm." Cohen changed back, "I plan to leave soon, and the cooperation goes well."

"Yes, cooperation goes smoothly." Lucius said hoarsely.
-
The collaboration with Lucius went smoothly and both parties were very satisfied with the results.

Coin got Voldemort's diary, and Lucius also got Coin's promise.

"Everything will be fine." Lucius comforted Narcissa, who looked worried, as he sent Cohen away.

Narcissa was worried that the Dark Lord would fail to resurrect, and that their assistance to the Dark Lord would be exposed again, leading to the whole family being sent to Azkaban. She was also worried that the Dark Lord would settle old scores with them after his resurrection - in order to save Lucius, the backbone of the family, they had to spend a lot of gold and expose many Death Eaters.

They don't have the best of both worlds; if they make the wrong choice, they lose everything.

Coin, who had already left, didn't care much about the Malfoy family's entanglement and pressure - the right thing to do now was to obtain the Horcrux and improve himself as soon as possible. After Voldemort used Quirrell's soul to strengthen himself last time, Coin realized that his next goal could not be to just focus on raising his soul strength to 40 points.

Voldemort should have 50 points now. The label I saw before showed [40+10]. It may also be that the stolen soul is not very stable for Voldemort, but Cohen prefers to prepare for the worst.

However, the good news is that the Philosopher's Stone theft plan at the end of the school year did not cause Coin and Voldemort to fall out. Coin did what he was supposed to do according to the original plan, got the Philosopher's Stone, pretended to be dead, and let Voldemort come up to snatch it - Quirrell could touch Coin, and there was no sacrificial protection spell on Coin.

Voldemort's defeat was simply because he was scared away when he saw Dumbledore.

If he asked why they failed, Cohen would have a reason. What kind of team was I leading? It was Voldemort's team that stole the Philosopher's Stone. They had the Stone in their hands, and there were only three of them on the field. Cohen even pretended to be dead and lay on the ground. But when Voldemort saw Dumbledore, he was like a son seeing his father, unwilling to take a few steps to grab the Stone before running away.

Can this plan succeed? It can’t. I don’t have the ability to do that.

After losing the Philosopher's Stone this time, the next thing to lose is the Chamber of Secrets. After losing the Chamber of Secrets, it's the Goblet of Fire. After losing the Goblet of Fire, it's the Order of the Phoenix. After losing the Deathly Hallows, what's next? There's nothing left to lose.

I suggest Voldemort first understand the core belief of resurrection, retreat when encountering a little difficulty, and then blame others for not trying hard enough? He has no shame...

This combination of punches was simply impeccable. Cohen directly stood on the moral high ground and pointed fingers, making Voldemort himself feel cowardly.

However, no one knows when he will face Voldemort again, so Cohen’s top priority is to go to Azkaban.

According to the memory given by Voldemort, Azkaban was on a small island in the North Sea, which was located in the northeast of England - but Malfoy Manor was in Wiltshire in the southwest of England. Cohen didn't really want to fly across the whole of Britain in the form of a Dementor, as it would be too conspicuous.

So Cohen's first step was to rush to a friend of Lucius's - that family had a holiday cottage in Yorkshire, and it happened to be connected to a private Floo network that could be used freely.

Cohen rushed to the house of Lucius's friend, a fat, bald old collector named Montgomery Knott.

He is also an old fellow from a pure-blood family, but he doesn't look so gloomy.

After showing Lucius's letter of introduction and stating his intention to travel to Yorkshire, Montgomery warmly welcomed Cohen in and took Cohen to his residence in Yorkshire via Floo powder.

"Ah, if you're going back to Wiltshire, you can go this way. I'll be on vacation here for the time being—I need to rest up when I'm old..." Montgomery said to Cohen with a smile. "By the way, can you tell Lucius about this when you get back? I'm still obsessed with that bottle of mixed throat-locking and crazy factor he's had in his collection for over fifty years. I can raise the price to six hundred Galleons this time."

Suffocation, excitement... The wizards are playing so many tricks, are even the potions so powerful?
After promising to mention it to Lucius, Cohen left the Montgomery cabin.

It was close to the beach, but Cohen didn't plan to take off directly from here because Montgomery would see him.

After bypassing a group of buildings, Cohen slipped into the ruins of a monastery that looked like a tourist attraction. With the help of the ruins, Cohen changed back into his Dementor form and flew towards Azkaban with his suitcase wrapped in it.

Fortunately, the Dementor had a cloak to cover the box, otherwise the Dementor carrying a box would be too conspicuous.
