Go? Then what I said before, no matter whether it was controlled by the Imperius Curse or deceived, in short, the excuses I said before are all self-defeating. If... If that person fails again in the end, then, can he escape the trial again like last time? If he can't escape, what will happen to the Malfoy family? And even if he goes , No one can guarantee that the Dark Lord will liquidate people like them. Death Eaters like them knew how moody the Dark Lord was. If he went by himself, and was given to Avada by the angry Dark Lord, then where would he go to reason. And once he died, more than half of the Malfoy family would collapse.
Not going? Lucius is very clear about the consequences of not going. Once he fails to respond to the call of the Dark Mark immediately, he will be deemed a traitor by the Dark Lord, and his former colleagues, whether they want to or not, will Like it or not, they will come to hunt and kill themselves and their families. Lucius is very familiar with this set. After all, in the era when the Dark Lord was raging, he did this kind of work a lot.
The Dark Lord will return to the wizarding world one day, and these Death Eaters know it very well. On the night when the Dark Lord failed, not only ordinary wizards in the wizarding world of the UK were celebrating, but some Death Eaters among them were also secretly happy. They finally got rid of this moody wizard and could finally lead a normal life. But they were not happy for a long time, a cruel fact was placed in front of these Death Eaters who were forced to join by the Dark Lord's coercion: the Dark Lord is not dead. When they looked at the Dark Mark on their arms, they knew at that time that the current Dark Lord was very weak, but he was not dead yet. As a result, there was a disagreement among the Death Eaters: whether to go to their former masters or not. Led by Lucius' aunt, Bellatrix, they advocated to find their master immediately and help him make a comeback. But the rest of the Death Eaters were all forced to join, and they were reluctant, and they seized the opportunity when it was possible to get rid of the Dark Lord's control. They tipped off the Ministry of Magic at the time and asked the Ministry of Magic to come forward and wipe out this group of former colleagues. Bella and his group were finally arrested and imprisoned in Azkaban—the sentence was permanent.
Although Lucius wished that the Ministry of Magic would sentence these people to death, let the dementor give them a kiss, and solve these Death Eaters who wholeheartedly served the Dark Lord once and for all. But most of the imprisoned Death Eaters who are loyal to the Dark Lord are relatives of their pure-blood families, such as Lucius' own wife: Narcissa, she and Bella are sisters, before they married , They are all surnamed Blake. After Narcissa's request and the internal communication among their families, it was decided to spare these people's lives. Just keep them in Azkaban and not let them come out, there is no need to be so extreme. Azkaban has never had a prison escape record anyway.
With the unsavory relatives out of the way for the time being, the rest of the ex-Death Eaters turned their attention to another question: how did the Dark Lord not die?
Ordinary wizards may not be aware of what happened that night, but their families have already investigated the matter clearly: Lily Evans used a blood curse to deflect the Dark Lord's Killing Curse, leading to the Dark Lord's failure. But these people couldn't be more clear about what it would be like for a person who was hit by the Death Curse, after all, they were all familiar with the Death Curse. But the Dark Lord survived his own killing curse. Moreover, although his soul is weak, it is full of vitality, which is clearly reflected in the Dark Mark.
There are few, but not none, ways to prevent unnatural death.
These surviving families began to investigate and read the ancient books of each family. The final result came out: most likely the Dark Lord made the Horcruxes, so he didn't die outright after being hit by his own Killing Curse. As long as his Horcruxes are not destroyed, the Dark Lord will not die completely.
Although these ex-Death Eaters guessed almost exactly why the Dark Lord didn't die. But no one knows where the Dark Lord hid his Horcrux, and they have no way of doing it.
But Lucius has a secret deep in his heart that no one tells: the Dark Lord once gave him a diary. He had a frightening guess about the journal: it was the Dark Lord's Horcrux-.
But Lucius himself knew that the Dark Lord actually didn't trust them Death Eaters, he just used them pure blood families as tools. If the Dark Lord really gave him his Horcrux, it can only explain one problem, the Dark Lord did not make a Horcrux.
Lucius suddenly didn't want to stay here anymore, he wanted to study the diary carefully. Determine whether it is a Horcrux, if not, then think that you are thinking too much, and make a false alarm. If it is really a horcrux, how should I deal with it? If the Dark Lord really gave me one of his horcruxes, it means that Malfoy still has a certain status in the heart of the Dark Lord, and the Dark Lord still More attention to the Malfoy family. But the things he did after his failure obviously failed his value, so when the Dark Lord returns, how will he rectify the Malfoy family?
Should I try to find the Dark Lord? Even if it's just for show? Lucius frowned, thinking about something restlessly.
...asking for flowers...
"Father?" Draco looked at his frowning father, wondering what happened.
Draco's voice woke Lucius up.
"Xiaolong, please tell me about that friend of yours. I want to know more about it."
Maybe this line from Selwyn can help Malfoy tide over things to a certain extent.
Lucius knew it was time to take sides again. Just like eleven years ago, if I had made the same choice as those people, I guess there would be a cell of my own in Azkaban. Eleven years later, I will face another choice, whether to continue to stand on the opposite side of the Dark Lord, or abandon my current position, and help the Dark Lord when he is at his worst and most embarrassing, and then wait for him to return. Fu will get a lot of rewards.
Lucius is not sure now, even if the Dark Lord returns in the end, who can guarantee that he will not fail again? But if the Dark Lord returns, and he can be said to have betrayed him Death Eaters, then even He ultimately fails, and the Malfoys are doomed.
After listening to Draco's description of Solim, Lucius decided that he must receive the pair of brothers and sisters from the Selwyn family well tomorrow. If they can connect with the Selwyn family, then the survival of the Malfoy family will be guaranteed. Lucius even has an unrealistic but bold idea: hope that Draco can be engaged to the upcoming Miss Selwyn.
If it can be done, then the Dark Lord will definitely not be able to touch the Malfoy family, at least Draco will definitely not be harmed by the Dark Lord.
If Draco knew what was going on in his father's mind, he didn't know how he would react.
Knowing that Draco's friend would come through the fireplace the next morning, Lucius immediately contacted the Ministry of Magic's Transportation Department and asked them to set up a dedicated line between the Leaky Cauldron and his own fireplace. Although Malfoy is down and out now, he still has some energy. As the saying goes, manpower is short, and Malfoy donates a large sum of Galleons to the Ministry of Magic every year. As long as a small matter like this is notified, it can be done immediately.
When Solim and Silna came to Malfoy Manor by special line the next day, Silna, who had just walked out of the furnace, said to Solim who came out later: "Isn't it that the way the Floo network moves is very bad? I think not bad?"
It was the first time for Sirna to use a fireplace when she was so old.
"Believe me, when I look back, I'll find an ordinary fireplace to make you feel what it means to be spinning, and make you feel like you don't want to eat all day."
Solim looked around at the luxurious decoration and furniture, and Solim knew that Malfoy Manor was up to inches. .
