Chapter 1060: Lucius's Thoughts
Will he die?
This terrible thought flashed through Harry's mind. He could see that Sirius had been attacked. This had been planned by Voldemort. Hermione was right, Sirius could not appear in the Ministry of Magic.
What frightened Harry the most was that Death Eaters had sneaked into Hogwarts twice.
Once pretending to be Moody, and another time...
Is the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts really mysterious, or is Voldemort's curse real?
However, these don't seem to be that important to Harry now. Compared with considering the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor or the changes at Hogwarts, Harry's own safety...
"It doesn't matter how much pain the boy suffered, as long as those two things from the Department of Mysteries, our current speed is too slow, which makes the Dark Lord very dissatisfied. This is a task assigned by the Dark Lord, and we must complete it as soon as possible, so, Rookwood, when can we enter that room?" the woman asked in a hoarse and harsh voice.
"It's different now than when I worked there. The Department of Mysteries has a few more complex magics, and the Ministry of Magic has become more strict about investigation, especially the Department of Mysteries. If we don't have the credentials, we will be kicked out as soon as we enter. It's also difficult to get discovered and get in," Lukewood explained.
"Oh, I don't care about that," the woman said. "All I want to know is how long will it take to break the damn magic?"
"It takes a long time to crack it without being discovered by the Ministry of Magic, but it is very simple to break through it directly. Just use magic to blast it away, which only takes a few minutes." Rookwood said quickly.
"Then we just rush in and apparate away immediately after getting the thing." The woman said, "Lucius, you should just take Potter there. That damn woman, she always does something meaningless. To satisfy her hobby, she should have informed us earlier.”
"Tafur is not that easy to talk to." Rookwood said quickly, "In fact, I was very surprised that she would hand Potter over to Mr. Malfoy."
"Okay, don't discuss that disgusting woman, when will we go there."
"That's easy to say, Bella Trix. As you just heard, we still have a few magic spells to solve." Lucius replied slowly, "Don't forget, Dumbledore knew we were coming here. , members of the Order of the Phoenix often patrol the Department of Mysteries, and last time, Weasley was attacked by us. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Dumbledore to relax his vigilance. He may have left magic there and took Potter with him. It was easy for accidents to happen in the past. In fact, I am a little uneasy now. The operation tonight was so smooth. Tafur brought Potter out of Hogwarts almost easily. With that woman's character. , it is impossible to give this credit to us easily, but... I suspect she may have noticed something, maybe the Order of the Phoenix..."
"Coward!" Bella Trix said disdainfully, "The Dark Lord always knows what's going on. Dumbledore can't stop him at all. It's been like this from the beginning. Until now, you should have seen the Dark Lord. The power of the devil."
"Yes, but it's never a mistake to be cautious," Lucius said.
Taking matters into his own hands is not Lucius's style. The risks involved are very high. He is more accustomed to hiding behind his back and planning conspiracies. This is what is most beneficial to the Malfoy family. Just like last time, Lucius easily broke the situation.
Regardless of success or failure, he can escape unscathed.
Call him cunning or careful, but this is the Malfoy family's way of life, which is based on self-preservation. This is completely different from that stupid woman Bella.
But everything that happened tonight was abnormal, which made Lucius feel very uncomfortable.
Originally, according to their previous plan, after gradually taking control of Hogwarts and breaking all the defensive magic of the Department of Mysteries, they lured Harry Potter there to take down the prophecy ball. They were lying in wait to reap the benefits. .
It would have taken a long time, but the Dark Lord seemed to grow impatient, and before all of them noticed the emptiness of Hogwarts.
This is almost impossible, through Harry?
Then the Dark Lord intervened in Potter's dream. In fact, before this, the Dark Lord seemed unwilling to influence the boy through dreams, but for some unknown reason, the Dark Lord couldn't help but take the lead in overtaking Potter.
Then there is Tafur, the guy who is apparently used by the Ministry of Magic to replace Umbridge. This woman is very dangerous, and even Lucius is not willing to have too much contact with her.
But this woman unexpectedly gave up this credit to them. Perhaps it was the Dark Lord's instruction, but everyone knew that the Dark Lord did not pay attention to the process, only the result was the most important.
All of this gave Lucius a strong sense of uneasiness.
He was a little unclear as to what this was coming from, maybe it was the change of the Dark Lord.
Unlike fifteen years ago, the Dark Lord now is more dangerous and crazier.
This feeling has been lingering in Lucius's mind since he came into contact with those vampires.
The Dark Lord is just too dangerous right now.
Maybe it's the long-term suppression, maybe it's that dangerous power.
Yes, power can make people crazy. Lucius never denied this, especially in the case of the Dark Lord. The growing power brought the Dark Lord unimaginable ambitions.
Lucius had heard something about a dangerous thing, the ancient god in the mouth of the vampire.
According to records, Lucius knew that God really existed, but this was contrary to the wizards, and now the Dark Lord was trying to obtain the power of God...
This was crazy. Compared with fifteen years ago, the Dark Lord had become more pure, just like the people next to him, Bella... the woman of the Black family.
Lucius was very familiar with Bellatrix. They had known each other since childhood, but she was not the woman he was familiar with. Her long career in Azkaban had turned her into a terrible monster. Everything that should be in human nature disappeared, leaving only the terrible side.
However, for the current Bellatrix, if he could choose, Lucius only wanted to stay away from her as much as possible. He wanted to change the status quo of the magic world and restore the glory of pure blood, but it did not mean that he was willing to cooperate with a group of dangerous lunatics.
Yes, now they are just a bunch of lunatics, evil, dark and tyrannical, with no wisdom left. This is almost the most unacceptable thing for a wizard. Even the most evil dark wizards will at least retain some human things and can communicate, but now it seems that whether it is Bella or the Dark Lord, unreasonableness has become an established fact.
Harry Potter has never been a threat, at least in Lucius's view, it is just a poor reptile that can be completely killed by a killing curse, but the Dark Lord believes in that mysterious and unknowable fate to the point of paranoia...
Shouldn't wizards use their wisdom and strength to clear the obstacles in front of them? Relying on the illusory fate, even those Muggles are not obsessed with these.
But now everything has become different from Lucius's idea, the Dark Lord, the Death Eaters...
If possible, Lucius would rather protect his Malfoy family than fight for a bunch of lunatics. (To be continued)
