[hp] Pure White Age

Young masters and ladies with bloodline cleanliness, on the contrary, enjoy the pleasure of attracting Mudbloods and then trampling them under their feet.Draco was even better than him, and he could actually tempt Ron Weasley, who was a pure-blood traitor, which was tantamount to a severe slap in the face of the Iron Triangle of Gryffindor.Theodore understood Draco's denial of his past with Weasley, and thus became more convinced of his point of view: perhaps, Draco and him were much more alike than they imagined.

"I knew you wanted to try it too." He deliberately lowered his voice.

"Have you tried it?" the other person asked.

"Of course, in the afternoon." Theodore replied, blushing a little, "but it didn't work...I guess Dumbledore must have given them special training...but you should try."

The two walked side by side to where the two guys were being held.Theodore wasn't sure of their true identities, and it was possible that Dumbledore's men were trying to divert their attention.The two people in the cell quickly noticed their arrival.From the outside, they were just a pair of ordinary middle-aged men and women, and the man was blind in one eye.The clothes on their bodies were torn a few times, and their arms and calves bore the new injuries caused by Theodore this afternoon. When they saw the person coming, their eyes revealed fear.

"If this is really Potter and Granger, their acting skills are too good." Draco snorted, and took out his wand from his pajamas pocket, "Have they handed over their wands yet?"

Theodore shook his head: "They didn't have wands on them at all, and they were not found in Lovegood's house." Draco nodded, and took out the key to open the door under Theodore's surprised eyes: "It doesn't matter, they escaped Don’t drop it.” He comforted, “A closer distance is good for Dementia.” Just as he was speaking, he suddenly squatted down and chanted the Dementia mantra to the two of them, and the middle-aged man and woman hugged each other instantly. A mass, screaming and falling to the ground.Their limbs twitched, trying to dodge the mental attack awkwardly, Draco cursed "Idiot", and with a wave of his wand, their bodies flew towards the corner of the wall.

He stood up, turned his back to Nott, and approached the trembling people in the corner, "The memory I saw showed that they were Muggle brothers and sisters."

"It's the same as what I saw." Theodore said quickly, feeling relieved that Draco's level of insanity was not far behind by Draco, "but to be on the safe side, we'd better wait until the fourth sky."

"Or ask Professor Snape to come and help." Draco took over his words, and he walked out of the cell and closed the door heavily. "Okay," he turned his head, "maybe we can play something else."

The Bone Twisting Curse was the first and only spell Draco invented under Snape's tutelage, requiring only minor changes to the Cruciatus Curse.When Snape was his age, he had already invented the curse of "Fuchsia" and didn't have much reaction to this matter. However, there are very few students who can invent spells during school.Under Nott's expectant gaze, Draco opened another cell.

"who are they?"

"It doesn't matter." Draco took out a handkerchief and wiped the tip of his wand. "Anyway, the people here are all captured by the Snatchers."

"That's right." Nott laughed, and it was hard to say whether his question just now was a temptation.

"But the wizards in this cell are really special." Draco said, "They will be sent to Azkaban tomorrow. This group of people is very cunning, and the search team searched for them for a long time, until the werewolf Greyback came out to pull them out of the forest."

"What did they do?" Nott narrowed his eyes.

Draco smiled: "Have you ever heard of Secret Radio? I bet there are quite a few people who listen to their broadcasts, not just the people in the Room of Requirement...Dumbledore's people rely on this to unite the hearts of the people."

"The Dark Lord wants to imprison them in Azkaban?" Nott also laughed, "It's a pity. If it were me, I would definitely use them as bait to lure the people from the Room of Requirement here, and then catch them all ..."

"Don't question the decision made by the Dark Lord." Draco squinted at Nott, "It's fine to say this in front of me, but what if people who are dissatisfied with you and my family hear it?"

Nott smiled and shrugged, obviously enjoying Draco's understatement. "So, they will die tomorrow, and the Dark Lord will not hold us accountable for how we torture them."

Draco didn't answer, but used a spell to wake up the three people who were in a coma, and chanted the Bone Twist Curse to them.In an instant, there were screams one after another in the cell.

"Don't play dead." The teenager in black silk pajamas reminded his companions, "We must ensure that they die in Azkaban."

"I have experience," his companion laughed, "not to mention killing people with a newly learned curse... You think too highly of me."

It was late at night when Draco and Nott parted.He turned and went upstairs, holding the candle up the long stairs and corridors.Since the return of the Dark Lord, the Malfoy family has once again been deprived of the right to use their own manor.The dungeons were filled with prisoners taken by the Snatchers, the warehouses were once again filled with dark magic items, and the rooms were used as meeting rooms, or were ordered to stay overnight by other Death Eaters.All in all, it doesn't feel like a home anymore.

Draco was used to wandering around the empty house.In the silence of the air, he simply blew out the candles and walked smoothly from room to room.Bloodstains, gradually weakening screams, and Nott's smiling face filled his body.Those were the secret radio guys, but that wasn't all, Draco knew they had a special way of getting in touch with one of their own... hoped Potter and Granger had picked up on his hints.

Thinking about other things, he was really tired.Draco leaned against the wall and slowly closed his eyes.The moonlight tonight was extraordinarily hazy, and the outline was obscured by thick clouds, as if it was his fate.Where would Ron be now?He wasn't with Potter and Granger, probably still in the Room of Requirement, but more likely wandering outside Hogwarts.The red-haired boy has a restless personality, and he returned Potter's invisibility cloak when they parted.Based on what Draco knew about his lover, the other party should feel that it was his responsibility to track down his friend... He prayed in his heart that the other party would never run into the Snatchers, especially the werewolf Greyback.

When can they meet again?Could the farewell before the Mirror of Erised be forever?The faces of those prisoners distorted by pain appeared in front of Draco again... They were also Hogwarts students in the past, and they should have lived a peaceful and happy life, but after realizing that the war was inevitable, they stood up, He spends his days in hiding in order to deliver information to all those who believe that justice will prevail.Just tomorrow, their young lives will be ruined.

However, on the last night of their lives, in order to divert Nott's attention, he, as a person who also hopes for justice, has to insult them.Draco's breath became short of breath.No.This is not the life he wants.He wanted to yell about situations that didn't satisfy him, as he had done in the past.But he had to be patient.If he is not careful, he will not only destroy himself, but also destroy the chess game that everyone has painstakingly planned.

He looked up at the moonlight outside the window, at least it was still there, not really gone, was it?For everyone, for that common goal...his thoughts changed quietly during each mission, and he seemed to be no longer the original Draco Malfoy.

It was indeed Potter and Granger that were in the cell.Draco had managed to peek into their memories just now through Legilimency.Potter and Granger had approached Lovegood to understand the cryptic symbol.In order to hold them back, Lovegood did tell the truth: the symbol corresponds to the three Deathly Hallows.Granger had realized that the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Invisibility Cloak were real, and that the Dark Lord really believed that the Deathly Hallows could help him fight death.

Then everything will be right.From the perspective of the Dark Lord, the gemstone on Gaunt's ring is the resurrection stone, which has been made into a Horcrux and locked in a necklace by him. Threatening Gregovich, questioning Grindelwald, and killing Dumbledore are all to get The Elder Wand.

etc.Draco straightened up suddenly.If the wand used by Dumbledore was the Elder Wand, then Snape rushed in so eagerly to kill Dumbledore, was it really Dumbledore's plan?After all, Dumbledore knew his chess pieces very well. He must have guessed that he couldn't bear to make a move, so he asked Professor Snape to help him complete this task, so as to dispel the Dark Lord's suspicion of Snape...

"Draco? What are you doing here?"

Draco was taken aback, until he saw his face under the moonlight, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Mother, I... just came back from the dungeon, and I wanted to come and see you, have you slept yet?"

"Didn't your father tell you?" Narcissa's face flashed with astonishment, and she quickly regained her composure. "That's right, he probably didn't think it was necessary for you to know about it...Of course I didn't sleep," she said, " I'm still taking care of your aunt, who's been with us a long time."

"It was the Dark Lord who asked me to take care of her. Pansy officially became a Death Eater last month, and the Dark Lord sent her to help me." Narcissa looked at her son's confused expression and sighed, "Maybe She didn't tell you because you were too busy."

In recent years, the Parkinson family has indeed tended to favor the Dark Lord.Since Astoria of the Greengrass family was promised by the Dark Lord to the youngest son of Durmstrang's new headmaster, Pansy has once again become the best candidate for Draco's fiancée. This was already an unspoken fact in the Slytherin house when he was a disciple.Even if Draco knew that the person Pansy loved was no longer him, but the war was coming, they had no choice.

Draco nodded. "Is Pansy here now?"

"She's gone back," Narcissa said. "Do you want to come in and see your aunt? The doctor said she's pregnant with twins, and her belly is very big now."

Actually Draco didn't want to go in, but in order to know more, he followed his mother through the door anyway.The parents' bedroom has changed a lot, the furniture has been reduced a lot, and it looks extraordinarily empty.There is a circular bed in the center of the room, with long veils hanging on both sides.Aunt Bella was sitting on the bed drinking tea.

"Look who's here." She laughed. "My good nephew. I can't get out the door now. What are you men doing outside? Oh, don't stand so far away, come here. "

She looked well maintained, her expression was much gentler than when Draco saw her before, and her belly was indeed extraordinarily large.

"Tell me, what are you busy with?"

Draco rolled his eyes. "Mr. Nott caught people who are suspected to be Potter and Granger," Bella was obviously agitated by these words, "but we can't be sure if it's them, they probably drank Polyjuice Potion before they were caught..."

"Wouldn't you know if you read them insanely?" Bella asked in a piercing voice.

"I tried it with Nott, and there is no flaw in the memory."

Bella sneered: "Your father can't help it either? It's ridiculous to count on you two children." She turned to her sister, "Take me to see it tomorrow."

"I'm afraid it won't work, Bella." Narcissa frowned, "You know exactly what the Dark Lord told you."

Draco watched the argument between the two, not worried.Before he really entered the memory space, in order to retrieve the lost memory, he had already ran all over the unlocked door in the necklace, where Aunt Bella's desire also existed.Although Bella loves the Dark Lord and even steals the family's treasures for him, her ability is also restrained by the necklace.Tom Riddle's life in the space made Draco understand that the Dark Lord is good at winning the love of others, but he never really believes in these loves, and only absolute control can make him feel at ease.

Why on earth did such a Dark Lord let Aunt Bella have a child?And what was Aunt Bella thinking?

"You will be in labor soon, and I will never allow you to make any mistakes at the critical moment." Narcissa was rarely serious, and Draco had no choice but to agree, saying that Professor Snape would definitely solve the dungeon guy, and the child was the one the most important.Bella recovered her emotions and told Draco to write to Snape immediately tonight.

Aunt Bella's name is very useful, at least now, Draco can call Professor Snape to Malfoy Manor without his father's consent.He couldn't wait to share his new plan with the professor, his only guide so far.

☆、Chapter136 The Calm Before the Storm (3)

When Snape handed the photo to Draco, Draco realized that the professor was still angry at his "presumptuous assertion".The photo was taken from the outside of the glass window of the Borginburg store, where the looming figure of Nenott hovers in front of the disappearing cabinet.

"He mentioned it to me." Draco said a little less confidently, "so I guess... he hasn't really suspected me yet."

"It's hard for us to know what those who have been trained in intelligence are thinking now." Snape retorted him bluntly. "It was Theodore's father who caught who might be Potter and Granger this time, not his uncle. You know what that means?"

Draco nodded: "His father will become a great hero, and the Dark Lord may reuse them. If Mr. Nott takes back the position of sweeper from his brother, then Theodore will become the heir of the family again... to that At that time, he will probably reconsider betraying the secrecy charm between me and him."

"It is indeed Potter and Granger who are locked in the dungeon." Draco whispered, "I have checked, but the people downstairs don't know yet... Polyjuice Potion won't last long."

Snape cast a deep look at his student.

"What are you going to do?"

"Please help the professor, give me the task of transferring the members of the secret radio station, I have to make sure they send out the information." Draco paused, "Also, during the time I am away, please stay with the professor, and Nott and his son guard the dungeon together."

Snape didn't say anything more, but from his look, Draco knew that the professor agreed with him.

At ten o'clock on the third day after Potter and Granger were locked in the dungeon, Draco was asked to escort members of the secret radio station to Azkaban, where the three wizards would be executed.On the way to the dungeon, Draco felt his walking stiff with tension.Nott was there last night, he didn't dare to make it too obvious, but Potter and Granger should get his point...

Two of his father's men followed behind him.Draco commanded two middle-aged Death Eaters to cast a binding spell on the three wizards, while he himself walked to the next cell, his eyes shifted to the pair of "Muggle brothers and sisters".The man was lying on the ground, leaving only Draco with his back, and the woman sat next to the man, with his head on her lap.

She winked at him, then quickly looked down again.This was undoubtedly a reassurance, Draco turned back to the next door, and led his men and prisoners out of the dungeon.Just last night, he concealed the fact of the instigator, and returned the Snitch to the two Gryffindors behind Nott's back. This move won their trust and made them willing to accept his instructions. That's half the battle.

The task of escorting the three wizards was not difficult. Although Draco knew nothing about the second half of the plan, he chose to believe in Granger, just as the other party also chose to believe in him.It rained heavily on the way back to Malfoy Manor, and Draco led two more prisoners who needed to be transferred from Azkaban to the dungeon, which meant that his team could not directly use Apparition, but could only take the Thestral carriage , is expected to arrive home at night.The rain hit the roof of the carriage, making a crackling sound, which made Draco feel nervous and sad at the same time.His father's men seemed to sense his emotions and brought him a cup of black tea. Draco took it and thanked the man.

"Because of what happened in the past, your father is always worried." The middle-aged male wizard who had followed his father for many years said to him, "Now that you are so heavily used by the Dark Lord, your father is really proud of you."

Would father be proud of him?

The corners of Draco's lips curved slightly, and he took a sip of the tea in his cup.The photo Snape had given him was in the inside pocket of his wizard's robe.Regarding the disappearing cabinet, Draco always felt that he was close to understanding what Dumbledore meant, but he was still not there.Boginbock's Vanishing Cabinet is unusable because Dumbledore asked him to throw the Vanishing Cabinet from the Room of Requirement into a necklace.But if Dumbledore just wanted to make sure the Death Eaters couldn't use it again, why didn't he just destroy the Vanishing Cabinet?Throw it in the necklace... what exactly was Dumbledore trying to imply?

His father's men were very kind to him.Of course, they were also typical Death Eaters, with pale faces and sunken eye sockets.Draco sat across from them, remembering what the pieces of their desire looked like.Thestrals were leading them through a forest regularly patrolled by Greyback's hunt party, perhaps right under their feet now.The sky was gray, covered with layers of dense clouds, and the rain beat tirelessly on the hull of the carriage. Draco closed his eyes and smelled the smell of soil and leaves.

The two Death Eaters sitting across from him looked numb to the sound of the rain.Compared to them, he is alive, the people he loves are alive.Even if no one is proud of what they've done, that fact is comforting enough.

It took Ron a lot of time to find Mr. Lovegood.In school before, he was all focused on destroying Horcruxes, and he didn't have a deep understanding of the Dark Lord's rule outside of Hogwarts. Only now did he know that apart from the Soul Eater released from Azkaban, there were all kinds of hunts and arrests. The team haunted the wizarding world, and Ron knew that he was their key target, and he would never take off his invisibility cloak even when he was sleeping.Also in order to avoid the search team, he finally figured out the purpose of the Deluminator: this little gift from Dumbledore can not only absorb the light, but also sense the fear of the dying person. It sensed Bagshot's Emotions led him all the way to Godric's Hollow.Now Ron often climbs up to the open hills at night and presses the extinguisher: the more the place is shrouded in silver light, the more intense the residents' fear of death is, which shows that this place is the key inspection area of ​​the search team.Perhaps Dumbledore had foreseen this long escape and gave him the Deluminator as a relic.

On the fourth night of fleeing, Fred contacted him through the double-sided mirror, saying that the secret radio station started working again. "The frequency has been changed, so it should be a new transmitter." He explained, "This morning, the new radio station said that the last stronghold had been destroyed, and the three wizards in charge had also been arrested. He left clues to them before he died, saying that Potter and Granger were imprisoned in the dungeon at Malfoy Manor, and now they are in urgent need of rescue."

"You guys already knew where Harry and Hermione were this morning?" Ron held onto the edge of the mirror tightly, almost forgetting to breathe, "Why didn't you notify me in time?"

"This is the result of collective negotiation." Fred's stern look made people not used to it, "You are also the key target of hunting now, we don't want you to rush to Malfoy Manor in a panic, and then throw yourself into the net. What's more, according to A message from Hermione over the secret radio that she thinks only a house-elf can save her and Harry."

Ron nodded knowingly.House-elves are better at breaking time and space than wizards, as long as their master gives the order.He had only discovered this fact after hearing Regulus and Kreacher's story, and Hermione must have known it long ago.

"After we received the news, it took us a lot of effort to contact the house elves in the kitchen." Luna and Zhang Qiu leaned in front of the double-sided mirror and added, "We also found the original Triwizard Hegemony in the Room of Requirement." Sy's used portkey."

"That old boot!" Ron exclaimed excitedly, "it wasn't recovered by the Ministry of Magic after the game!"

"We are also surprised that it is here." Luna said, "Maybe Dumbledore left it here on purpose. Anyway, we have given the Portkey to Dobby and the others, and we all believe that the elves will Do everything you can to save Harry and Hermione."

"Of course, of course," said Ron, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. "If it weren't for Harry and Hermione, the elves in the kitchen would never be free... So what happened?"

Luna shook her head: "I don't know yet, I have to wait for the next message from the radio station. We will contact you tomorrow. But... Now that Harry and Hermione have been found, you shouldn't have to go to my house?"

"I have something important to give to your father."

"What is it?"

"A family history written by Ms. Bagshot," said Ron. "It can prove that the unnamed person is related to Harry! This information was deliberately blocked by that person. I took it from Godric. The valley is back. I think that man kept a lot of things from his men and enemies. He wanted others to submit or fear his power, but he didn't want them to know about it. Many officials in the Ministry of Magic were caught by him. Confused by the power of that man...but people would have more confidence in Harry if they knew that Harry was not only the Boy Who Lived, but shared the same ancestry with that man!"

Lu Na blinked, and Zhang Qiu looked at each other in blank dismay.

Ron knew that the students in the Response Room might not fully understand his thoughts, they all followed Harry and Dumbledore out of love for justice.But in the process of destroying Horcruxes, Ron gradually understood a truth that the school never taught him, that is, most wizards (including Muggles) in the world do not have strong beliefs, and they are very easy to surrender to absolute power .Riddle understood this early on, which is why he encouraged Bellatrix to steal the family necklace in order to control his followers, making them think that it was the Dark Lord himself who controlled them.What Riddle wants to be is not just a leader, what he wants to be is an idol, a god, the incarnation of an evil force that wizards dare not even mention by name, a symbol pointing to evil itself.And Harry, as the "Boy Who Lived", also remains in people's hearts in the form of symbols.

So this is not only a struggle between two forces, but also a duel between two symbols.That might be why the man insisted on killing Harry himself.Only by killing the boy who had frustrated him in the past with his own hands, can that man prove that the power of the Dark Lord is invincible, and make the entire wizarding world willingly ruled by him.

And Bagshot's research may be the key to overturning this "superstition".Even if the fact that the Dark Lord was once defeated by a baby related to him could not deny the power of the Dark Lord, it could convey the message to the public: the power of the Dark Lord is not unique, Harry Potter is likely to be There is this power too, even more powerful than the Dark Lord.

"I thought of someone!"

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Qiu asked in confusion.

"I thought of someone!" Ron repeated loudly, ruffling his red hair excitedly. The immediate task is to find the right person to stand up as a shaker of the Dark Lord's legal status and "publish" this book..."

"You mean you're not going to find Lovegood anymore?" The three people on the opposite side of the mirror were confused by him, "Then who do you want to find?"

They didn't wait for a satisfactory answer, the double-sided mirror flashed, and Ron's face disappeared.

The moment Draco stepped into his living room, he felt the solemn atmosphere.Professor Snape was leaning against the fireplace, and he was the only one who looked up at him, while the other people in the living room—the Notts, his parents, and Aunt Bella—sat around the fireplace, all with ugly faces .

"What happened?" He walked over to his parents.

"Those two guys got away," said the father.

"So, they are indeed..." Draco's heart finally fell to the ground, but his face showed anger, "It's impossible, how did they escape from the dungeon?"

"House-elf."

Draco turned around.Theodore didn't look at him, but forced a sneer from the back of his throat.The laughter gradually became crazy, and then stopped abruptly at the moment it turned sharp.Even though he knew that letting Potter and Granger slip away from under his nose would be a big blow to the Notts who were eager to take over the position, and he knew about Theodore's illness, Draco still stayed away unnaturally. looked away.The atmosphere above the living room was uncomfortable, and he subconsciously wanted to break the silence in front of him, "I don't understand, what is it about house elves..."

"Ha ha……"

His words were interrupted by another laugh.The pregnant woman bit her tongue, her legs under the long skirt moved suddenly, and something rolled out from under her feet.

Draco subconsciously wanted to vomit.

"This bastard came with a portkey." Bella smiled idiotically, "but how did it get into the cell? I really can't figure out who helped Potter so much... "

Mr. Nott's face grew colder.

People here don't know what house-elves are capable of.Just as Draco and Snape hoped, as the direct persons in charge of the whole incident, Nott and his son will inevitably suffer a reputation for incompetence, and even be suspected by the Death Eaters.

Bella's shoes are still on Dobby's body.Draco realized his stomach was cramping.Bella was watching him, so he didn't dare look away quickly.The skin under the suit tensed up, and the curled fingers trembled slightly. He felt that he might be sick.

That is not a picture that normal people can see a second time.There is only a huge hole left in the heart of the elf on the ground.In addition, its limbs had been cut off, and its stomach had been completely torn open, with the internal organs looming.None of the skin that was still visible was intact, it was all pale and scarred.Bella's dagger went deep into its heart, and it was dangling in that hole, as if she'd taken it out of there, abused the rest of its body, and nailed it back to the floor, at her feet.

When Bella taught him the Cruciatus Curse, the elf in the house often fell on the floor and twitched.To this day, Draco still dare not say that he has considered elves as equals to himself, but he is still angry at his aunt's smile.

Why.Why.He couldn't bear to imagine that if the person who came to rescue Potter and Granger today was a person, a living person who would bleed...

"Draco."

The vision became clear again, Draco raised his head abruptly, and Professor Snape had already walked in front of him.

"You're distracted," Bella said, with a flash of disdain in her expression.Narcissa took her hand, "The therapist is already waiting." She glanced at Draco indifferently, "You are too emotional today, which is not good for the child, I will accompany you up."

"Did you hear what we just said?"

When Narcissa and Bella went upstairs, Snape asked again.Draco nodded. "The Dark Lord wants us to fix the Vanishing Cabinet." He ran his fingers through his hair. "But Theodore told me..."

Theodore coughed lightly. "Draco and I have fixed it before." He walked up to Professor Snape. "I don't think there is any Death Eater more experienced than the two of us."

Draco understood.Having experienced the failure of letting Harry Potter go, Theodore was obviously a little impetuous, even if he was not sure, he still wanted to take on this task.

"Do you think it's possible?"

After the adults left the living room, Draco asked Theodore.

"You don't understand, Draco." The other party tugged at his tie, "If I can't make the impossible possible before the war, all of this is meaningless... I have to make achievements. Let's go to the blog tomorrow Kimbok store, I really need your help."

Theodore believes that another Vanishing Cabinet is still in the Room of Requirement, and that it has been destroyed by Dumbledore's Army, so he can only put his hopes on the one in Borginberg's shop for the time being.

"I don't think it's completely impossible." The other party stopped him when he was about to leave the living room, as if he was eager to get affirmation: "What we need to fix is ​​only the connection between the two disappearing cabinets, so it doesn't matter which one we start with, no ?"

Draco nodded, but his steps paused.Theodore was right, all that needed to be repaired was the connection between the two cabinets.Last time they started with the one in the Room of Requirement, and it must be the same this time with the one in Boginbock.

The problem seems to be on the horizon.If he was able to use the necklace to deceive Theodore last time, making the other party mistakenly think that he had repaired the disappearing cabinet, then this time, can he use the same method to deceive all the Death Eaters who tried to enter Hogwarts through the disappearing cabinet? ?

This was most likely what Dumbledore wanted him to do!The reason why he told him to throw the disappearing cabinet into the necklace instead of destroying it directly was to prevent the Death Eaters from changing the way of entering Hogwarts!Thanks to Theodore's reminder, Draco finally understood Dumbledore's intentions.That's right, that's it, there is no more urgent and mind-consuming task than this... He must use it to weave one last perfect deception for the final battle before the Dark Lord snatches the necklace.

He walked quickly up the stairs, and on the way he met his father and the therapist who had just come out of Bella's room. "The children are all healthy." The healer's voice grazed Draco's ears, and he tried to make out, but could only catch a few words: "The Dark Lord thinks that...boys and girls should be separated..."

The sound of the rain outside the window became louder, and the footsteps of the therapist and father gradually faded away.Draco stood on the stairs.From this angle, he could see Dobby's body lying alone on the living room floor, staring blankly at the crystal chandelier above.

It used to belong to the Malfoy family, and Ron said it was very eager to be free.

Draco shuddered.For some reason, his body was cold, but the fire in his heart burned hotter than ever.

☆、Chapter137 The Calm Before the Storm (4)

He wasn't sure that was the right thing to do, thought Ron, standing in front of the gate.Out of vigilance, he didn't take off his invisibility cloak, stuffed the envelope in his hand under the door, and knocked on the door.

The door quickly opened a crack.Through the hazy moonlight, Ron noticed the darkness inside the door.The house of the man he was looking for was located in the depths of a dense forest where no one was seen.Dumbledore had inadvertently revealed that the man had moved twice since leaving his post as Potions Professor.Obviously, he didn't want to be found by anyone.

Ron didn't see the man's face clearly, but only vaguely glimpsed his long nightgown straps that were dragging on the floor.The letter he handed him was written in Dumbledore's name.Even so, Ron was still not sure... Didn't Dumbledore spend a lot of effort to get this man to admit his mistakes and help them open the first door?

The man didn't stay at the door for long, and Ron heard his footsteps fade away.However, after a while, there was another sound from the other side of the door, this time there seemed to be two kinds of footsteps.Ron's heart tightened suddenly - the worst possibility he could think of was that the man had already surrendered to the Death Eaters...

"Harry?" The person over there seemed to be listening to the door just like him, "...is that you?"

Ron was completely stunned.This voice was too familiar, it wasn't the person he was looking for, but...

"Moody?" His voice was shaking with excitement. "Is that you?"

Before Ron could react, the door opened a crack again
