The Mysterious Return of Hogwarts

??

"Honey, the time is almost up, we have to get there quickly."

Arthur reminded Mrs. Jasmine that their family was one of the protagonists of the Wizengamot tonight. He actually didn't want his children to attend such an occasion involving a legal trial, but this time the matter involved Death Eaters, 11 In an old case years ago, the higher-ups of the Ministry of Magic made a decision, and he was just an insignificant department head, which was destined to fail to realize his idea.

All he could do was arrange for the children to arrive at the scene early, and Dumbledore promised that he would help take care of several underage wizards.

Arthur is a man with little ambition, and he has little understanding of power. If this kind of trouble involving his family happens to Lucius, the temper of the platinum noble will make it difficult for the Ministry of Magic to bear.

"Yes, we have to go, kids follow and say goodbye to Neo."

Mrs. Jasmine's face stiffened for a moment. She held Ginny's shoulders with her hands, and then used her eyes to signal Patsy to keep an eye on her three brothers.The twins and Ron had been excitedly talking to Neo about "this is so cool" and "we need to show off this to our classmates when we go to school".

It was the first time for Percy to come to such a serious place in the Ministry of Magic. He kept his back straight and tried to act like a little adult.

This boy was different from his useless father, and Neo saw a certain sparkle in his eyes.

When the Weasleys followed the staff and left, Neo looked at Percy who was left at the end staring at his shouting brothers.

"That's a motivated kid."

Lucius, who was the only one next to him, suddenly heard this and realized that this was meant for him.But do these words of praise for Patsy Weasley have any profound meaning? What is the connection between the boy in front of me and that person? How should I face it... I can't figure it out.

But he didn't dare to delay, so he chose the reserved behavior of a pure-blood noble, nodded, and carefully considered his words to say nonsense first.

"Yes, my lord."

My Lord, it can refer to the leader who once stood above the Death Eaters, in a broader sense, or it can also refer to 'Slytherin', a noble status with a background higher than that of 28 families. This will make people in the Ministry of Magic hear it. Think of something.

"Don't worry, my current identity is a kind white wizard."

Neo gave Lucius a comforting look.

Now a white wizard?

Was he the Dark Lord before?

Hearing Neo's hint about his identity, a little sweat broke out on Lucius's forehead. He glanced around. This is where the most authoritative authority in the British magical world resides. Officials from all levels and arrogant people came and went. Luo...and even Dumbledore and other Wizengamot wizards, but looking at the relaxed expression of the boy in front of him, he suddenly realized that these could not bring him any sense of security.

Compared with the weird and evil image of 11 years ago, Neo today clearly has an appearance that is in line with public aesthetics and a simple and clean temperament, but Lucius only feels that this person scares him even more.

Neo looked at Lucius's face that was pretending to be calm, but turned pale. He raised his hand and pointed to the corner where no one was, and walked over first. Lucius immediately followed.

"Lucius, can I call you that?"

Lucius Malfoy lowered his head and acquiesced.

Neo raised his finger and touched the hot dark mark on Lucius's arm through his clothes, and it immediately subsided. "Forgive me for triggering it on this occasion. I know it will make you nervous, but considering that I have changed my appearance after all, I am afraid that you will not recognize me, so I have to take the initiative to say hello to you in this way."

"I can know...why you..."

No one was paying attention around him. Lucius asked in a low voice. He only asked half a sentence but did not ask the specific questions behind it. This was very shrewd. Before he understood Neo's purpose, vague words could cover more things. significance.

Why did you come to the Ministry of Magic? Is it Peter Pettigrew?

It could also be: Why are you... not dead?

Neo laughed, and he raised his hand again, this time with a black ring on his outstretched finger.As one of the Three Holy Artifacts of Death, the Resurrection Stone inherited from the Gaunt family has the ability to recall the dead. This is of course false, otherwise Tom would not be willing to use it to make Horcruxes.Now that Neo has used a sacrifice method to extract the remaining soul, the ring cannot be restored. It has become, how should I put it...a top-notch black magic item with various curses.

Gently putting his hand on the back of Lucius's hand, death as rich as the abyss enveloped this unfaithful servant. Lucius only felt that the blood in his body could no longer flow, suffocation, cramping, sadness, despair, and his gradually dilated pupils. Moving from the back of his hand to Neo's eyes, he seemed to read a word from those clear eyes: Puff Rong.

"I like smart children, and this is your reward."

Neo retracted his finger, since he had inherited Tom's inheritance, or perhaps a part of his will.Neo knew that he would inevitably have to deal with those former Tom's men, which did not disgust him, because the more Neo recalled, the more he discovered that the group of people who had once been around Tom were all talented people.

The ferocious and loyal Lestrange, the cunning and loving Malfoy, the talented Snape... Except for Peter Pettigrew who is really a bad character, otherwise because of his Animagus Regardless of status, Neo would not look down on the other party.If it weren't for longer-term considerations, he would at least give the mouse a position, and a very precious position - test material.

The living Animagus has not been dissected yet, so I am curious.

Under Tom's training, the Death Eaters have the same mind, extremely high mobility, and powerful strength. If they can be controlled by Neo, what big thing can't be accomplished?

"What a pity, Lucius, I was the most optimistic about you at the beginning."

Neo looked down at his nails and flicked them. He was not the moody Tom he once was. There was no need to threaten Lucius. That was too unkind. He continued on the topic.

"I once promised to bring glory and power to you followers. I am ashamed that I failed to do it. But when I found out that Peter was hiding in the Weasley family, I thought that he actually survived by turning into a mouse. His life was so miserable, so he felt very sad, so he was treated like a hero. I think after today, there will be no wizard in Britain who has not heard of the great deeds of Peter Pettigrew."

Lucius was shocked. Are you speaking human language? Why can't I understand a word?

"Then you came here in person just for Peter?"

Neo nodded and shook his head.

"I'm here to see if Peter will be executed. In addition, it's hard to talk to Dumbledore in person. That old guy is hard to find, so you have to send me a message. Lucius, can you do this well?" Something?"

"I don't want you to become like Peter Pettigrew. Although I don't think highly of you the most now, I still think highly of you."
