Casting spells

"I understand! Thank you for your advice! Now I'm going to discuss with some friends and temporarily suspend my original plan." With that said, Lucius stood up and planned to take a long trip.

Just when he raised his wand and was about to cast Apparation, Zhang Cheng suddenly reminded: "Don't forget to deal with your house elf Dobby. As far as I know, he has often Leaving the manor, I don’t know what I’m doing secretly.”

"Dobby?!" Lucius was obviously taken aback.

After all, in the concept of wizards, house elves are a symbol of loyalty and hard work, and even do anything to win the favor of their master, even if it means giving their own lives.

Therefore, few wizards suspect that house-elves will betray themselves and their family.

"Yes! Dobby!" Zhang Cheng nodded slightly. "As far as I know, Harry Potter and his friend Ron went to school by flying car because someone blocked the entrance to platform nine and three-quarters. And during this time, Dobby just left the manor, I believe You should understand what that means, right?"

"Damn it!" Lucius' face changed drastically, and he immediately shouted at the top of his voice, "Dobby! You dirty little bastard! Get out of here!"

Snapped!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, an ugly little thing about half a person tall appeared in the living room out of thin air.

He looked very nervous and frightened, his whole body was shaking constantly, and he asked cautiously: "Master...Master, please call Dobby for you, what is your order?"

boom!

Lucius suddenly raised his foot and kicked the opponent away fiercely, cursing angrily: "Bastard! How dare you betray me? Betray the Malfoy family?"

"No... no... Dobby didn't betray... Dobby just wanted to protect Harry Potter..." the house-elf struggled to get up from the ground to defend himself.

But unfortunately, Lucius didn't think so, he swung his cane and beat it crazily, beating the little thing to the brink of death in the blink of an eye, spitting blood profusely.

Resisting the urge to step on the other party to death, he took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth: "Very good! Very good! I really can't imagine that there is a shameful traitor in my family. Don't worry, I won't do it yet." Execute you immediately, but let you taste something more terrible than death."

Dobby the house-elf was so frightened that he shivered and curled up on the ground, not daring to make any defensive or resistive moves.

Thousands of years of enslavement have caused this race to completely lose its independence, and it can only rely on wizards to barely survive.

"Your Excellency, I heard that you are conducting a series of interesting experiments, why don't you let Dobby be your experimental subject?" Lucius' eyes gleamed viciously.

"Thank you for your generosity, which I'm more than happy to accept. House-elves are such interesting magical creatures, and they can be challenging to dissect and transform."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng pursed his lips and stared at Dobby with an extremely abnormal look.

No one likes a betrayer!

A betrayal is a betrayal, no matter how good the reasons may be and how noble the motive may be.

In most cases, the fate of the betrayer is usually very miserable, and this time is no exception.

After a while, the poor house elf was dragged into the secret laboratory located underground. About half an hour ago, the screams of extreme pain and despair began to echo over the manor.

No one knows what happened inside. They only know that 72 hours later, when Dobby appeared in front of everyone again, half of his body was replaced by various metals and plants, and the original clever eyes in his eyes disappeared, replaced by What is more frightening is the coldness and tyranny.

Chapter 738 Everything is according to plan

As Lucius Malfoy voluntarily stopped the original plan, Zhang Cheng controlled Draco to recover the Horcrux that contained Voldemort's youth.

Of course, the awakened Tom Riddle was not quite willing to return to the diary honestly.

So he had to resort to a little violence, so that he was almost discovered by the curious Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore who hid behind the scenes and took control of the overall situation.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ginny Weasley took the initiative to stand up and take all the responsibilities, otherwise he would have ended up a little bit badly.

But the price was that at the end of the second semester, Severus Snape accompanied Draco to the Malfoy family's manor.

Looking at the master of potions who looked gloomy like a bat on his face, but filled with love and guilt in his heart, Zhang Cheng could not help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and greeted with a smile: "Good afternoon, Mr. Professor, listen to Drake say Did you come to visit me specially?"

"Good afternoon! Mr. Zhang! Please forgive my presumptuousness, you really aroused my great interest. Especially your teaching method, let little Malfoy master the skills far beyond his peers in a very short period of time. Magical skills." Snape bowed gracefully and complimented.

Even when talking, his two eyes secretly observe each other's every move.

"Oh? Are you interested, or the great headmaster of Hogwarts?" Zhang Cheng tentatively asked.

Perhaps others will think that Severus Snape just has to submit to Dumbledore, but he knows that the relationship between the two is extremely complicated, and the former is almost completely subordinate to the latter's leadership, even on the surface Conflicts often break out.

"We are very interested. After all, teaching students to master more knowledge and magic is the purpose that Hogwarts has been insisting on since its establishment. If possible, Principal Dumbledore hopes to invite you to Hogwarts to exchange ideas , and take up the post of professor of magic practice by the way. Maybe we can't give the Malfoy family a generous salary, but we can give you a reputation." Snape unhurriedly offered the invitation.

It has to be said that his psychological quality is quite strong, even if his purpose was exposed face to face, he did not show the slightest nervousness, no wonder he was able to deceive Voldemort in the future.

"Dear friend, it doesn't seem good for you to dig the Malfoy family's wall in front of me?" Lucius finally couldn't stand it anymore, and questioned him.

"Relax, don't be so nervous. I am just extending the invitation on behalf of the school. As for whether to go or not, the choice is not up to you or me, but to the person involved." Snape shrugged nonchalantly.

"Damn! Dumbledore's usurping the power of the board of directors doesn't count, but he still wants to go to my house to poach people? Dreaming! Zhang will not go to Hogwarts, he will stay here to teach the descendants of the Malfoy family." Lu Hughes seemed to be irritated, and roared loudly while holding his cane tightly.

"Okay, okay, don't get angry at me, you should know that I'm just running errands to deliver letters. In addition, Mr. Zhang, the invitation from Headmaster Dumbledore is valid until the next semester starts. If you are interested, you can Come and report at Hogwarts anytime."

After finishing speaking, Snape bowed again, waved his wand and disapparated and disappeared in place.

It wasn't until he left for more than 5 minutes that Lucius calmed down quickly. There was no sign of losing control of his emotions on his pale face, and he sneered and sarcastically said: "As you expected, that old guy can't sit still. How? , are you going to respond to the invitation to be a professor at Hogwarts? I believe that as long as we cooperate internally and externally, we will be able to drive him away in a short time."

"Why not? You must know that it is the place with the most complete magic books and materials in the whole of Britain. Maybe I can find something that will inspire my research. As for internal and external cooperation, let's forget it. I don't have much desire for power, let alone Precious time will not be wasted fighting for power."

Zhang Cheng undoubtedly knew very well what the other party was expecting, and gave a straightforward negative answer.

Trying your best to rule only hundreds of thousands of modern wizards with low combat effectiveness?

He only has a sick mind to make such a stupid choice!

On the contrary, he has a bigger and grander plan, which is to trigger a nuclear war all over the world and wipe out more than 90.00% of the population on the eve of his departure.

This insane method can not only collect countless souls, but also allow a deep insight into the power of the rules of death through a large number of deaths.

Unfortunately, so far no one has been able to see through the madness hidden under Zhang Cheng's calm appearance.

To be precise, it is impossible for any normal person to imagine that a seemingly powerful, mature, and stable young wizard is actually a monster more dangerous and terrifying than Voldemort.

……

After making the decision, Zhang Cheng did not leave immediately to meet with Dumbledore, but stayed in Malfoy Manor to continue his own research, and did not bid farewell to Lucius and him until a few days before the start of Hogwarts. His wife, alone, pretending to be carrying a suitcase, walked into this historic magic castle.

As soon as he stepped into the principal's office, Albus Dumbledore with a gray beard immediately stood up and said with a big smile, "Aha! I finally expected you to come, Mr. Zhang, or I can call you in advance Mr. Professor. You must know that Eastern wizards are not common in the British wizarding world."

"Thank you! It is a great honor to receive your praise." Zhang Cheng stroked his chest with one hand and bowed very modestly.

"No, no, no, it should be said that I am honored." Dumbledore lowered his glasses and waved his hand lightly. "Improving the quality of teaching is the dream of every Hogwarts headmaster, especially in the last semester, there were many attacks and we haven't been able to find the real murderer so far, so improving the self-defense level of the students has become Crucial thing. Can you tell me, how exactly did you train Mr. Malfoy to become so good in such a short period of time?"

"It's very simple! Practical training beyond the limit! I can create an illusion through magic, so that Draco can continue to fight with the illusion to gain more experience and proficiency. I believe you should have heard that there is an idea advocated in the East , that is, strict teachers lead to talented students, and only through the most rigorous education can children grow into outstanding talents."

"Actual combat training?" The old man subconsciously frowned. "Won't it hurt?"

"Of course it will hurt! But I will strictly control to ensure that there will be no serious injury or death. Injury, many times, does not mean a bad thing. Pain is sometimes the best teacher. He will make students remember the next time How to avoid making the same mistake..."
