Harry had long known that Lucius Malfoy was a Death Eater and had mentioned it more than once.
Perhaps only a fool like Foggy would not believe it and send him to the Hogwarts.
It was dangerous in itself, but Harry never thought that Malfoy would kidnap him out of the school.
Something like last year had happened again, and because of the Ministry of Magic's involvement and Dumbledore's departure, the Hogwarts's magic had a loophole. At the very least, Barty Crouch Jr. would not have taken Harry out so easily through the flying net.
The Hogwarts without Dumbledore was not that safe.
Harry's heart was beating rapidly, and his mind was a mess. Although he was at the Ministry of Magic, he did not know what to do.
What could he do in the face of a dozen or more heavily armed Death Eaters?
Although he still had his wand, he was afraid that he could do nothing.
Fortunately, the other party did not seem to intend to hurt him, but to take him to the Department of Mysterious Things to get some weapon...
Harry closed his eyes tightly and pretended to be unconscious, wanting to hear what they were saying.
In the current situation, relying on others to rescue him seemed to be the only way out. He did not know how long it had been since he was taken away from the Hogwarts, but as long as he held on, the school and the Order of the Phoenix would definitely notice something unusual.
For example, when it was time for Ron to go to bed, he found that Harry had not returned.
When the time came, he would go back to find Professor Meg.
It would only take a few minutes for them to know where they were from the fireplace.
Or, Harry could think of a way to make some noise and trigger the alarm inside the Ministry of Magic...
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Harry tried to calm his breathing so that the other party would not notice anything wrong.
"It doesn't matter how much pain that boy suffers as long as we can get that thing. We are too slow now. Luke Wood, when can we enter that room?" The woman asked in a hoarse and harsh voice.
"It's not the same as when I worked here. The Department of Mysteries has a few more complicated spells," Luckwood explained.
"I don't care about that. I just want to know how long it will take to break those damn spells."
"It will take a long time to crack it without being discovered by the Ministry of Magic, but it is very simple to break through it directly. It will only take a few minutes."
"Then let's just rush in and leave immediately after obtaining that thing." The woman said, "Lucius, you should have taken Potter down instead of helping him stay here."
"Easy for you to say, Bellatrix. You just heard that we still have a few spells to deal with." "Don't forget, Dumbledore knows that we are coming here. He may have left a spell there, and bringing Potter over is prone to accidents. In fact, I'm a little uneasy right now. Tonight's operation was really too smooth … "
"Coward!" Bellatrix said disdainfully. "The Dark Lord has always predicted things. Dumbledore can't stop him at all."
"That's right, but it's never a mistake to be cautious," Lucius said.
It was not his style to act personally. There was a lot of risk involved, and he was more used to hiding behind the scenes and plotting.
Whether he succeeded or not, he would be able to escape unscathed.
One could say that he was cunning or cautious, but this was the way of the Malfoy Family.
But tonight's events were full of abnormalities, making Lucius feel very uncomfortable.
According to their original plan, they would gradually control the Hogwarts and crack all the defensive spells of the Department of Mysteries before luring Harry Potter there to retrieve the prophecy ball. Then, they would lay in wait and reap the benefits.
If he wanted to do this, he would need at least another two months of time to set it up.
But ever since returning from Norway, Lord Voldemort seemed to have become more and more impatient.
He did not seem willing to influence the boy through dreams, which Lord Voldemort had said he could do.
Malfoy did not know why he did not do so. In short, after receiving the information from the Blake Family's house-elf, Lord Voldemort could not wait to take action tonight and did not want to wait another day.
He even ordered Lucius to take Potter out of the Hogwarts at the risk of exposure.
Why was Lord Voldemort in such a hurry?
Also, what was the strange statue that he had been carrying with him ever since the death of the giant snake?
These two matters made Malfoy feel uneasy. There were unforeseen changes in them that he did not understand.
He could not help but fall into deep thought. Compared to fifteen years ago, the current Lord Voldemort had changed a lot.
Although it was equally frightening, Lucius could clearly feel that he was going crazy.
Perhaps it was this long period of escape that had affected him. He was becoming more and more unstable, just like the lunatic beside him.
Lucius was very familiar with Bellatrix. They had known each other since childhood, but she was also not the woman he was familiar with. Her long life in Azkaban had turned her into a terrible monster. Everything that should have been human had disappeared, leaving only the terrible side.
Faced with the current Bellatrix, if he had a choice, Lucius would only want to stay as far away from her as possible.
He wanted to change the status quo of the magic world and restore the glory of the pureblood, but that did not mean that he was willing to cooperate with a group of dangerous lunatics.
In particular, Elwyn Mason's warning made Lucius realize that he might have made a huge mistake.
That diary was not simple. It could be …
Malfoy did not dare to say that word. He did not dare to let Lord Voldemort know that he already knew this secret.
Based on his understanding of Lord Voldemort, if the other party knew about this, he would definitely not let the Malfoy family off.
Looking at Potter tied to the pillar, Lucius felt that he should think about the future. Betrayal or escape …
Neither was a good idea, but it was better than staying and waiting for destruction.
Or perhaps, Lucius still had a glimmer of hope in his heart that black magic would forgive his mistakes for the sake of the past.
"Harry Potter!" Bellatrix said in a suspicious voice. "This is the boy?"
"That's right!"
"Why hasn't he woken up yet?"
"He's under a Coma Spell. I'll wake him up now …"
"Let me!" Bellatrix raised her wand. "Heart Drilling and Bone Gouging!"
The next second, he felt a piercing pain. He twitched and gasped in pain, forcing himself not to scream.
"The little baby has been scared awake!" Bellatrix let out a disgusting laugh. She raised her wand and interrupted the spell. Looking at Harry, who had opened his eyes, she said in a disgusting, baby-like voice, "How do you feel? I'm just giving you a taste!"
"Who are you?" Harry opened his eyes. In front of him was a row of black wizards wearing the hoods of Death Eaters.
Under the hoods, only a dark shadow could be seen.
Harry could not tell which was Lucius Malfoy and which was Bellatrix.
