Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

One after another, figures flashed before Lucius' eyes, and he categorized them.

In the soft radiance of the gem, he seemed to see the boy.

After Dumbledore's death, that boy may represent a whole new choice...

It's not passive waiting, not running away, and not trying to gain that unattainable trust, but a brand new choice other than that.

Alvin Mason!

Lucius had several conversations with him that were not long or short before, and also conducted a comprehensive understanding in secret. At least from the information he obtained, the boy knew a lot, and Dumbledore might have told him , but it doesn't matter.

What matters is what Alvin Mason can bring to Malfoy.

Just when he was about to think deeply about this question, Lucius blinked hard suddenly, and the expression on his face became surprised.

Accompanied by a sharp explosion, he saw a figure appear in front of him out of thin air.

Is this an illusion?

He saw that Alvin Mason actually appeared in front of him.

It's an illusion... no, it's an apparition!

When he noticed the house elf Dobby next to Ivan, Lucius understood everything. He jumped up from his chair and went to get his wand, but before he could touch it, a bright red light Flying, he hastily retracted his hands.

The cane in front of Lucius was knocked into the air, spun three times in the air, and fell into Ivan's hands accurately.

"Good evening, Mr. Malfoy, nice to see you again." Ivan said softly.

"Alvin Mason..."

"Ah, I'm glad you still remember me. After all, we haven't met many times in the past few years." Aiwen said, spinning the wand in his hand, "It can be seen from the surprised expression on your face, You're probably not ready for a long talk with me, so let's cut it short, where is Harry?"

"You mean Harry Potter..." Lucius drew out.

After a brief pause, his brain began to think again.

"Oh, yes, it seems that you don't know about it." Ivan shook his head.

"Hmph, we've captured Harry Potter, the Dark Lord..."

"This is not a clever lie, Mr. Malfoy, I'm afraid you don't know anything about what happened in your own manor." Ivan paused, "From the current situation, you probably have lost all knowledge of your manor. out of control, like the rapidly declining status and power of the Malfoy family..."

"Out of control?! You think you're smart, Mason? You think you can come in and out of Malfoy Manor at will with a mean house-elf traitor?! You think you've got the situation under control?!" Lucius said softly , glaring at Dobby the house-elf, "It's so naive."

Dobby grabbed Ivan's clothes corner tightly, and dodged behind him in horror.

"Oh, I think so, Mr. Malfoy, I think I've got the situation under control, at least at this moment. Not only do you know nothing about what happened, I'm afraid you can't even cast spells." Ivan Said, shaking Lucius' snake-shaped cane, "Your wand is with me, isn't it?"

"So you do have the advantage, so what are you going to do with me?" Lucius replied lazily, moving nonchalantly to the right of the table.

"You need to stop first, Mr. Malfoy, otherwise the two of us will definitely not be talking in such a pleasant way, and your left hand is best to stay away from that statue, before I cast the magic." Ivan Say, "Don't play tricks, this is the basis for the conversation between the two of us to go on."

Lucius Malfoy's body froze, and he looked at Ivan angrily, as if he was angry at Ivan's request.

Chapter 1664 Malfoy Style

The two looked at each other, as if they were engaged in an imposing confrontation, and the atmosphere was extraordinarily dignified.

Maybe it was because of the dignified atmosphere, maybe it was because of the wand in Ivan's hand, or maybe it was because of the increasingly chaotic thoughts, in the end Lucius Malfoy couldn't help it first, he raised his head and asked, "Will you come here?" Come here, what do you want to know?"

"All, of course, it mainly depends on how much you know." Ivan said, staring at each other, "I hope you can realize, Mr. Malfoy, we may not be enemies, in some respects, our purpose is the same of."

"It's ridiculous..."

"No, it's not funny at all, we have a lot of things we can cooperate with." Ai Wen said seriously, "For example, in the matter of protecting your wife and son from the Dark Lord, we can Cooperation."

"I don't understand what you're talking about, Dark Lord..."

"He doesn't trust you!" Ivan said bluntly, "Of course, he never trusted anyone, he only believed in himself, but his attitude towards Malfoy now is not simply distrust, but It's hate, it's dangerous..."

"It's alarmist, Malfoy will always be the most important and most trusted servant of the Dark Lord."

"As I said, Mr. Malfoy, your lies are not smart at all. This doesn't look like Malfoy's style." Ivan said, his left thumb pressed upwards on the edge of the snake-shaped cane, and the wand inside was covered It popped up, "This is your new wand? Does it work with the old one? He trusts you, so he took your wand, didn't he?"

This time, Lucius didn't answer immediately, he stared at Ivan, not knowing what he was thinking.

During the attempt to stop Harry's transfer a few days earlier, Voldemort had taken his wand and never returned it.

Lucius didn't know why Voldemort did this, but he knew that he might need a new wand.He had replaced it afterwards, and it was as ornately decorated as the previous one, but he didn't like the new wand.

He had lost not just a wand, but the power and prestige of the Malfoy family.

I don't know how many people are waiting to see Malfoy's jokes!

"This time, he took your wand, what will it be next time? What else can Malfoy satisfy him?" Ivan asked himself and replied, "To be honest, I don't think Draco's Wisdom and strength are enough to complete his task at Hogwarts last semester. The Dark Lord gave him an impossible task. Professor Dumbledore knew his purpose and efforts. If he hadn’t been in Help Draco secretly, maybe when you come out of Azkaban, all you can do is collect his body."

"The result is that Dumbledore is dead!" Lucius squeezed out the words almost word for word, his face was very ugly.

"That's because in his plan, he had to leave this world and do something that had to be done by himself." Ivan said, he noticed the expression of interest on Malfoy's face, but in a blink of an eye Gone, soon to be covered up.

"You mean, Dumbledore is not dead?"

"You can understand that death is not the end. Only wizards like the Dark Lord are afraid of death. Dumbledore is not afraid of death." Aiwen said, "In fact, whether he is really dead or not is actually not the case." It's important, but if Dumbledore's being alive will give you any confidence in cooperating with us, then I can tell you clearly that Dumbledore will come back."

"You're lying, kid!" Lucius Malfoy narrowed his eyes, secretly thinking about the meaning of Ivan's words just now, "You came here to instigate me to betray the Dark Lord as your spy, you Must be dizzy..."

"No, Mr. Malfoy, I have always been very confident in what I do. I don't want you to be our spy, and to be honest, I don't trust you very much. We are just cooperating, for a common purpose And work hard." Aiwen continued, "After that incident, you and your family just happened to stand with us."

"What's the matter? Say it clearly!"

"I thought you already knew. After all, last night, the Dark Lord was furious because he lost another item. I heard that many people died, all of them were loyal Death Eaters." Ai Wen said, "Think about it, how did he react after you lost that thing? Would he easily forgive you because you were Malfoy? We all know the answer is no, never will, Especially when he knows that there are very few things left to prolong his life, his hatred for Malfoy will expand to an unbearable level, and it is already the greatest kindness for him not to kill you with his own hands. After all, No one would bear the loss of a vital Horcrux by their stupid subordinates, would they?"

When Ivan mentioned the Horcrux, Lucius' face immediately turned pale, and he stared at Ivan with wide eyes.

"Horcrux..." Lucius murmured, "That diary is indeed a Horcrux."

In this way, the change in Voldemort's attitude towards Malfoy and those orders can be explained.

Losing a Horcrux was equivalent to killing Voldemort once, if not worse.

As Ivan said, Lucius is still alive, it can only be said that this is Voldemort's kindness.

"The wizards who were killed here last night are really worthless. They paid their lives because they were implicated in the loss of a Horcrux. But please believe that Horcruxes are not all evil." Ai Wen said, "Very Come on, when the Dark Lord's magic works, the support of the Death Eaters will mean nothing to him, all he needs is death and destruction."

Damn it, Lucius found himself thinking wildly again, he was being led by the nose by this boy, but he couldn't refuse, because he didn't have any qualifications to refuse at all.

As Ai Wen said, the wizard who died here last night was implicated, and he was the main person responsible for losing another Horcrux...

"What do you want? My allegiance?" he asked slowly.

"No, you still don't understand what I mean, Mr. Malfoy." Ivan said, "I repeat, we have a common goal, and how much you can contribute to achieve this goal is entirely up to you. Of course , the final result is entirely up to you. Fair enough, isn't it? I don't need you to swear allegiance to anyone, you can keep your loyalty to the Dark Lord if you really need it. You can continue Carrying out his orders, with slight variations when it comes to our common purpose. Sounds very Malfoy, doesn't it?"

Chapter 1665 The territory of the Ravenclaw family

"You look more like a Malfoy than me now," Lucius said oilily.

"Thank you, Mr. Malfoy, but I'm different from you. I think I still have principles and bottom lines." Ivan replied.

"The cage of the self-proclaimed decent!" Lucius said disdainfully, "It's Dumbledore again, some worthless dregs, he has influenced you too deeply, Mason, those things have bound you, They make you hypocritical. Believe me, if you give up those, you will achieve more extraordinary achievements and more power. Although you have a bad background, you are indeed a rare magical genius. If you have the Malfoy family Support and you will be successful."

"Success? You don't want to support me to run for the Minister of Magic, Mr. Malfoy?" Ivan asked back with a smile, "This joke is not funny at all, but it surprised me. I never thought of pure The blood wizard family is so open and tolerant that they are willing to support a Muggle-born wizard."

"The important thing is not blood, but here, Mason!" Lucius raised his right hand and nodded his head lightly, "The reason why the Malfoy family can continue to this day is because we only cooperate with smart people, and smart people can Create a win-win situation together. Unfortunately, there are too many fools in this world, so we don’t have many choices. You can think about this suggestion carefully. If the opportunity is ripe, maybe we can have the opportunity to cooperate more deeply.”

"If the premise of your cooperation is to make me give up my principles and bottom line, then I can only say sorry." Aiwen said, "In fact, I think Professor Dumbledore's philosophy is still very good, and it is worth letting me stick to it. "

"That's a pity. The conversation just now made me think you are a smart person."

"We have different understandings of intelligence, and you seem to have a deep misunderstanding of me, Mr. Malfoy, this is not good." Ivan said solemnly, "I have been here for a long time, However, our conversation didn't get any real. You're wearing my patience. It's a stupid attempt, not Malfoy at all. Before my patience runs out, I repeat, At the same time, I also hope that this is the last time. You need to understand that I am not trying to cooperate with you. The reason we are having this conversation here is because we have a common purpose. Because of you The stupidity of the past, Malfoy happened to be with us, so I'm here today, that's all."

After a moment of silence, Lucius' face turned pale again.

He started talking again, his voice more real.

"Well, for that bloody common purpose. Tell me, what can you offer Malfoy if I grant your request?"

"There is only one promise." Ivan said.

"What promise?" Lucius frowned and asked, he didn't like Ivan's way of speaking.

He's been being led by the nose by this boy, which he doesn't want.

"We can keep Draco safe as long as we can."

"Only these?!" Lucius asked, a little dissatisfied.

What is within one's power, shouldn't we do our best?

"These are enough. Although we are not afraid of death, there is indeed hope only if we live." Ai Wen said.

"The most important thing is to survive, but I don't understand, what you said is within your power..."

"What you need is not a false promise, Mr. Malfoy, this is not a higher level of lying than anyone else." Ivan asked, "If I tell you, no matter what happens, I can protect Draco's Safe, let him live from death, do you think such a promise is realistic?"

"If I pay, I should get a reward equal to the risk." Lucius said slowly, the expression on his face was distorted due to too much force, because the distortion looked a little hideous, "Mason, you should be more Clearly, what it means to betray the Dark Lord..."

"That's something you should think about clearly." Ivan replied calmly.

Lucius shook his head, he seemed to be vetoing something, his attitude was completely different from when he persuaded Ivan just now.

"You have been stranded in this manor, Mr. Malfoy. There are many things you haven't seen clearly about the current situation and the situation of the Malfoy family. I suggest that you should think carefully. What should Draco do when he is given a death mission? And what should you do when the final battle is over? Or what should you do when the Dark Lord completes that black magic and kills all living things? How to do?"

"The magic of the Dark Lord..." Lucius seemed to be crushed in an instant. He looked at the ceiling aimlessly and muttered, "What is that magic?"

"This is also something you should figure out and then tell me." Ivan shook his head and said.

"I don't know much. He doesn't trust anyone. It's hard for us to pry into his secrets."

"I know!" Ivan said, "I don't expect much from you, but you must at least tell me where Harry might be?"

"I don't know, we've been trying to catch Harry Potter, but he..."

"He was in your house just now, brought by Dobby the house elf. You have never faced up to the magic of house elves, of course you don't know anything." Ivan said impatiently, "He went to you The Chamber of Secrets, the one where Wormtail is, you should know by now."

"That's where the Weasley boys were kept."

"You mean Ron? He is controlled by the Dark Lord?" Ivan asked, "The two of them are no longer there."

"It can't be Apparition, the entire manor has been controlled, except for the magic of the Dark Lord himself..." Lucius said, noticing Dobby hiding behind Ivan, "Of course, and that lowly traitor behind you The magic is also available, this is indeed our negligence, but except for the traitor behind you, no house-elf would dare to take someone away without an order. Humph, I guess it is the Portkey, the information I got before is Well, that Weasley is leaving today. I thought someone would come to fetch him, but now it seems that the Dark Lord must have left him a Portkey."

"Where does that Portkey take Harry and Ron?"

"I don't know, no one knows what the Dark Lord intends to do with that Weasley, just as almost no one can figure out what he intends to do," Lucius said, "but let me guess, they have a good chance Go to the Black Witch, where they are excavating the ruins left by Death's Gate."

"That place is..."

"The place where the Ministry of Magic first discovered the Death's Gate, the former territory of the Ravenclaw family, is a barren place." Lucius said, leaning forward, "It is said that it used to be a beautiful lake thousands of years ago, but It has dried up long ago, and now, we are more used to calling it the land of death..."

Chapter 1666 Exploring death with death

The place of death!

Formerly the domain of the Ravenclaw family, where wizards from the Ministry of Magic first discovered the Death's Gate.

At Bellatrix's place a few days ago, Aiwen used to use insanity to read that place in her head.He saw many wizards wearing black cloaks, rummaging for something in a place full of ruins. The figures were shaking, and there were shadows of mountains in the distance, and the soil on the ground was lifeless and dead black.

There is also the tree in the ruins, a huge tree, which is shocking.

The trees have withered and died, and there is no trace of green on them, but they are covered with dead crows.

It was a place full of death, dark and eerie.

There seemed to be a unique atmosphere in the air, even if what he saw was just a scene, Ivan could still feel it clearly.

He didn't like it there, he felt evil and foreboding there.

"Are you planning to go to the land of death to find Potter and Weasley?" Lucius smiled maliciously, "It's really brave. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to go there. According to legend, in Rowena After Ravenclaw's death, a dreadful curse fell on their family lands."

"Well, a curse?"

"Evil black magic gushed out from the ancestral home of the Ravenclaw family, covering the sky and the sun, and the water of the surrounding lakes disappeared overnight, and the terrible plague raged rampantly, killing all life in that area. The Land of Life became a veritable restricted area of ​​life, and the breath of death filled the air. In the ensuing centuries, all the wizards who tried to enter the ancestral home of the Ravenclaw family died, and none of them got a good death." Lucius said The voice became lower and lower, and finally whispered, "There are many rumors. Some people say that there is a connection to hell, just behind the door of the Ministry of Magic. It was found deep in the Ravenclaw family mansion."

"It's a good story, but I've never heard of it..." Ivan pouted.

He knew that Ms. Ravenclaw was from the quiet lake, which the Sorting Hat had told everyone at the beginning of school.

As for other information about the Ravenclaw family, he has never found relevant records in the book.

In the history of magic, after the death of Ms. Ravenclaw, the once-prominent Ravenclaw family did die out suddenly, and quietly withdrew from the stage of history. Can't find any records related to Ravenclaw, which is very suspicious indeed.

But Aiwen has never been associated with any curse, this idea is really incredible.
