After the Dark Lord left the hall, the Death Eaters left one after another. Lucius was stunned for a moment before he walked toward the stone chamber where Rudolphus was.
Someone knocked on the closed door of the stone chamber, and the door opened a crack in front of Lucius. Lucius pushed the door open and strode in. Rudolphus was sitting on a chair with a wand in his left hand. A piece of metal was floating in front of him, and the sword of the wand was spewing out a blazing flame that surrounded the metal. The flame was so hot that the metal was beginning to liquefy.
Lucius closed the stone door and walked to Rudolphus' side. He found a chair and sat down.
"You seem to have trained your left hand well?"
"Lucius, you'd better mind your own business," Rudolphus said without raising his head. "You shouldn't have asked the master for something for me today … You did a good job this time since you didn't get burned to death."
"I don't think so …" Lucius lowered his head slightly. His light blonde hair was neat and tidy. "Bella …"
Rodolphus's magic wand burst into flames. Enveloped by the flames, the molten metal fell to the ground. Rodolphus stared at Lucius expressionlessly, just like how he had stared at Barty Crouch during the entire interrogation process after he had been captured.
Lucius saw this and confirmed his suspicions. He was a little regretful and did not try to probe further. For a moment, only the crackling sound of the flame could be heard in the room.
"Unlike my marriage, Bella at least chose this time …" Rudolphus seemed to be more normal after he finished speaking. Seeing the awkward atmosphere, he changed the topic. "Lucius, you were playing with mud at that time. You probably didn't see the match between Slytherin and Ravenclaw in Quidditch. Your son Draco led Slytherin to break Ravenclaw's monopoly for the past few years. "
"I read the newspaper when I came back." Lucius's pale face showed a smug smile because of his son's performance, but then he realized that Draco's position had changed. "It would be perfect if he was still the ball seeker."
"You seem to be quite familiar with the Harris family. The Harris family seems to be very talented in Quidditch. Their youngest daughter used Wulangon's "Zigzag" flying spell and Starfish Upside-Down. " Rudolphus waved his wand and the completely burned metal flew to the ground, letting it smoke. "Although I can't use both spells at the same time, like me."
"Some connections … In order to maintain a good relationship, I even gave them the dragon farm …" Lucius was a little surprised and frightened by his friend's question. He casually found an excuse and changed the topic. "For a family like ours, it's impossible for a child to become a professional football player after graduation. No matter what position he plays, as long as he can win the Quidditch Cup in a game like this, it's enough … I hope his results will improve."
"People who can become Hogwarts' professors have some extraordinary skills. Even the recognized liar is so good …" Rudolphus squinted at Lucius's pale face and couldn't help laughing. "Can you imagine how much damage a healing spell like Arm Repair can cause if it's used incorrectly?"
"Lockhart, that liar? What did he do this time? " Lucius Malfoy had always felt that the liar had delayed Draco's studies and was very disgusted with him.
Rudolphus told Lucius, who did not know the details because of the excavation mission, about Gidero rescuing Muggle alone.
"That bunch of trash can't even catch a liar and a female Muggle." Lucius sneered. "No wonder I saw them shrinking like quails when I came in."
"Not only that, but something else happened recently that put the master in a bad mood." Rudolphus touched his broken wrist and looked at Lucius mockingly. "Do you remember, before you left, the master used Muggle's soul to make a deal with the devil? The devil assassinated Harris's bad boy's muddy female companion in Hogsmeade some time ago, but the little girl from the Lovgood family used a loophole in the language to resolve the issue … Oh, it should be said that the loophole allowed the devil to complete the contract …"
Rudolphus told Lucius about the Hogsmeade assassination as a joke. Lucius's pale face became even paler. He clenched his robe and looked at Rudolphus. "Isn't the master's target Allen Harris? I thought … "
"Letting Allen Harris's beloved die is a way to hurt Allen Harris." Rudolphus twirled the wand in his hand and continued to practice the dexterity of his left hand. "Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you and the little girl from the Parkinson family. After the master was deceived by the liar and the devil … if it wasn't for the loss of manpower, more people would have died. However, it seems that the master trusts us servants more. Parkinson and Crabbe have been pardoned."
At this time, Lucius sat up straight and tried his best to maintain his dignity. He thought about the false information he provided to his real master, the Harris family. Although the devil did not really succeed, the reality that Allen did not contact him about it made Lucius break out in cold sweat.
"Lucius, why are you so concerned about this? You have to be careful with your cowardly face. Don't be misunderstood by others … Are you worried about Scarlett? Don't worry, it's just that Bella misses her sister. " Rudolphus seemed to be a little tired of Lucius. He pointed his wand at the piece of metal that was beginning to solidify and controlled it to fly back to him. Then, he cast the flame again and began to mumble nervously, "Burn them! Burn them! "
In the dark stone chamber, Bellatrix, whose belly was slightly bulging, slowly and steadily walked into her room. Her long magic robe covered her ankles, and it was shaking as she walked. She walked to the only table in the room and fixed her eyes on an upside-down picture frame on the table.
Bellatrix turned the picture frame over. In the picture, three girls were standing in front of the huge door of Hogwarts. The witch with long blonde hair on her back stood in the middle. The witch with light brown hair and big eyes on her right stood upright and smiled shyly. The blonde girl was chatting happily with the dark-brown witch on her left, who was laughing unscrupulously.
Bella, who looked more normal and weak than usual, reached out to the witches in the frame. But just before she touched the surface of the frame, she pulled her hand back. She opened her locker and took out a small meditation basin. She picked one of the many memory bottles and rolled up her sleeve with her intact but pale living hand. She poured the memory in the bottle into the meditation basin. The meditation basin emitted a silver light, and the memory slowly flowed into it.
The next day, Hogwarts. After parting with Dumbledore last night, Harry decided not to say a word about his adventure with Dumbledore. For the sake of Dumbledore's reputation, he did not even want to say a word about it to his good friend Ron and girlfriend Jenny.
However, it still attracted some people's attention. Some of the little wizards who were not as carefree as Gryffindor found that their headmaster had changed his wand. This caused a lot of speculation in private. When Seamus heard the news, he even suspected that Professor Dumbledore and Professor Harris finally had a duel because Allen and Dumbledore looked very pale and weak today.
"Don't talk nonsense, Seamus! Look at Luna's face. She drank too much with Allen last night and got a stomachache! "
Jenny looked at her boyfriend worriedly. "Harry, you don't have an appetite this morning. Why didn't you eat anything?"
"Well, I ate a little too much last night …" Harry mumbled.
"Harry, didn't you go to Slughorn yesterday?" Hermione walked past Jenny and approached Harry. "You got the memories? What did you and Dumbledore do after that? "
Jenny smelled Hermione and frowned. "Hermione? Did you drink real wine yesterday? "
"I managed to get my hands on it. That's why Dumbledore went out after that. I guess that's where he lost his wand …" Harry had no choice but to admit it. He glanced at Ron who was feeding each other almond cookies with Lavender and forced himself to suppress the nausea caused by the memories of the two places, Willow's secret passage and the cave. Once again, he emphasized to himself that he must keep his mouth shut about them …
