Escape from the Lord Voldemort!
It was not that no one had tried in the past, but without exception, the Death Eaters who betrayed and escaped had all met a tragic end.
The most recent example was Igor Kakarov, who was no less cunning than the Malfoy family.
Kakarov was not an honest wizard, but in the end, he was killed without exception.
Lucius would not choose to escape unless it was absolutely necessary. He was not stupid, but for the continuation of Draco and his family, he was now seriously considering the possibility of this choice, which was truly frightening.
Once they escaped, the status and power that the Malfoy family had accumulated over the centuries would be gone.
But at least, they would still be alive …
But Lucius was not sure if they could really escape from the Lord Voldemort and his omnipresent pursuers.
Once they were caught, the consequences …
Dispelling this crazy thought, Lucius looked at the exquisite emerald, his mind blank.
Slowly, he began to think again.
His thoughts drifted far away. One moment, he was reminded of his childhood, the strict and demanding wizard etiquette and traditions his mother had taught him. The next moment, he thought of the past year and the dark time he had spent in Azkaban. Then he thought of what the Lord Voldemort was doing now.
He did not understand many of the Lord Voldemort's actions now. The resurrected Dark Lord was much crueler and more terrifying than before.
Even if the Malfoy family had not lost trust in him, he did not think this was the result he wanted.
A man who was once dead had been resurrected, and what he brought to the world of magic was not a new order, but madness and destruction.
Perhaps, as the rumors said, the Lord Voldemort was no longer alive.
That was why he was so powerful, cruel, ruthless, and terrifying, because he was an immortal dead.
Without emotions, he would only bring death and disaster.
Lucius could not help but shudder. This idea was too outrageous. Perhaps he should change his way of thinking.
Apart from persevering and escaping, was regaining the trust of the Lord Voldemort the best choice?
But what else could he and his family do for the Dark Lord?
Because of this, he broke into the Ministry of Magic, his reputation was ruined, and he was arrested in Azkaban. His son even accepted the task of killing Dumbledore.
Even if they had sacrificed so much, Malfoy still hadn't regained his trust. What else could they give?
Lucius had once regarded capturing Harry Potter and offering him to The Dark Lord as his last hope.
However, after trying to understand what the Lord Voldemort had been doing recently, he wasn't sure if it was a good idea.
As long as the gold and wealth remained, no matter who became the new ruler, they would not be able to do so without the support of the Malfoy family.
But what if the person in power was a madman who didn't want power, but destruction?!
What did the Dark Lord want now? What did he want to do?
Immediately, Lucius began to consider his possible allies or people he could still make use of.
Without a doubt, Severus Snape was the most reliable at present, but he couldn't solve the problem. As for the others …
One figure after another flashed before Lucius's eyes, and he began to categorize them.
In the gentle glow of the gem, he seemed to see that boy.
After Dumbledore's death, that boy might represent a brand new choice …
Not passively waiting, not escaping, and not to gain that unattainable trust. Instead, it was a brand new choice.
Elwyn Mason!
Lucius had a few short conversations with him and had secretly learned about him. At least from the information he obtained, the boy knew a lot of things. It might have been Dumbledore who told him, but this wasn't important.
What was important was what Elwyn Mason could bring to the Malfoy.
Just as he was about to think deeply about this question, Lucius suddenly blinked his eyes hard, and his expression became one of surprise.
Accompanied by a sharp explosion, he saw a figure appear in front of him out of thin air.
Is this an illusion?
He saw Elwyn Mason actually appear in front of him.
This is an illusion … No, it's an apparition!
When he noticed Dobby, the house-elf beside Elwyn, Lucius understood everything. He jumped up from his chair and reached for his wand, but before he could touch it, a bright red light flew over, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand.
The wand in front of Lucius was sent flying, spun three times in the air, and landed accurately in Elwyn's hand.
"Good evening, Mr. Malfoy. It's nice to see you again," Elwyn said softly.
"Elwyn Mason …"
"Ah, I'm glad that you still remember me. After all, we haven't met many times in the past few years." Elwyn twirled the wand in his hand. "From the surprised expression on your face, I can tell that you aren't prepared to have a long talk with me, so let's cut to the chase. Where is Harry?"
"You mean Harry Potter …" Lucius dragged out his words.
After a short pause, his brain began to think again.
"Oh, yes. It seems that you don't know about this matter." Elwyn shook his head.
"Hmph, we have already captured Harry Potter, The Dark Lord …"
"This is not a clever lie, Mr. Malfoy. I'm afraid you know nothing about what happened in your manor." Elwyn paused. "From the current situation, you have probably lost control of your manor, just like the rapidly declining status and power of the Malfoy family …"
"Lost control?! Do you think you are very smart, Mason? Do you think that you can enter and exit the Malfoy Manor as you please with the help of a despicable house-elf traitor?! Do you think you have the situation under control?! "Lucius said softly, glaring at the house-elf, Dobby." How naive. "
Dobby grabbed the corner of Elwyn's clothes tightly and hid behind him in fear.
"Oh, I think so, Mr. Malfoy. I think I have the situation under control, at least for this moment. Not only do you know nothing about what happened, but I'm afraid you can't even cast a spell. " Elwyn said, waving Lucius' snake-shaped wand. "Your wand is with me, isn't it?"
"It seems that you do have the upper hand, so what do you intend to do with me?" Lucius replied lazily, indifferently moving to the right side of the table.
"First, you need to stop, Mr. Malfoy, or else the two of us will not be having this pleasant conversation. And your left hand better stay away from that statue before I cast a spell," Elwyn said. "Don't play tricks. This is the basis for our conversation."
