Chapter 751 Law-Abiding in Knockturn Alley
"Anyway, I need to see results within half a year, do you understand?" Voldemort added.
Snape responded, and Draco nodded quickly.
Voldemort was very satisfied, and the hand on Draco's shoulder couldn't help but become a little heavier. Rich black energy continued to pour out from the contact area between the shoulder and the palm.
Draco hissed lightly, gritting his teeth tightly, and suddenly felt as if his shoulders were being burned by a hot iron.
If he hadn't taken into account Voldemort's power, he might have shouted out.
After an unknown amount of time, the hand was taken back, and the long pain finally ended. Draco knelt down directly on the ground without any strength, with cold sweat on his forehead and back.
"This is part of the reward I advance to you." Voldemort said calmly.
award? Draco was a little confused. Before, he thought it was the Dark Lord deliberately torturing himself.
Draco hurriedly pulled open his collar and took a look, only to find that there was a skull mark on his shoulder.
A large black python is slowly crawling out of the skull, as if it is alive and extremely miraculous.
Is this the Dark Mark? !
Draco recognized it immediately. He had seen the exact same pattern on his father's arm and naturally knew it was the symbol of a Death Eater.
Half a day ago, Draco would have been extremely happy. He had always thought that becoming a Death Eater was an extremely majestic thing, but now he no longer has the mind to think about this. All he can think about is the assassination mission...
Since the number of Death Eaters who had regrouped was not large, and Voldemort had no intention of making a long speech, the entire meeting lasted only more than an hour and came to an end.
The Death Eaters who received the order did not dare to stay for a moment, and quickly disapparated and dispersed.
Snape walked out of Riddle House, recalling the conversation with Dumbledore in the Hogwarts Tower ten days ago in his mind.
[After I die, if one day Voldemort suddenly falls into great fear and is in panic all day long, it will prove that the time has come! 】
Snape frowned deeply. He originally thought that Dumbledore's brain was burned out by the potion he brewed, so he would be so whimsical, but now it seems that is not the case...
Whether it was the Brazen Loyalty Curse that enveloped the entire station, or the ordering of himself and Draco to investigate and assassinate Ivan Hals, it all proved one thing without a doubt.
That is the fear of Voldemort, who is so powerful that the entire magical world is in fear!
Afraid of a little devil who is only fifteen years old.
And that person is not called Harry Potter...
This couldn't help but give Snape a sense of absurdity, and at the same time he was even more curious about what happened in Knockturn Alley that night, and why Voldemort was beaten and fled.
Is it possible... is this also part of your plan?
Dumbledore?
…
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and under the forced intervention of law enforcement officials such as Flan, the entire Knockturn Alley took on a new look.
The debris and garbage that used to accumulate in the corners were swept away, and the unemployed wandering in the streets and alleys were all arrested and forced to participate in the street reconstruction work.
Not only that, enthusiastic law enforcers will also go door-to-door to explain the new rules in Knockturn Alley and give each person a copy of the "Manifesto of the New Century."
According to the descriptions of the law enforcers, this book contains the master's grand ideas, which every wizard in Knockturn Alley must understand and read thoroughly.
They will also conduct an assessment every three months. Those wizards who fail to pass the assessment will be put in prison and become the adult's experimental materials.
Under such intimidation and pressure, in just a few days, Knockturn Alley has undergone earth-shaking changes, and slogans advocating for compliance with the law have been posted on every door.
The two Aurors who entered here to investigate saw such a harmonious scene with their own eyes.
"Captain, are we in the wrong place?" Sunny looked around and looked at the plaque that said "Speak of Civilization and Establish New Practices", she was completely confused.
She had been to Knockturn Alley several times three years ago, and she vaguely remembered that the streets at that time were very messy. There were often dark wizards with evil intentions squatting nearby, scanning her with strange eyes, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
But today's Knockturn Alley is completely different. There is no such unpleasant and pungent smell, and all the dark wizards with evil intentions have disappeared. Most of the wizards passing by from time to time have reassuring smiles on their faces.
Has Knockturn Alley changed so much over the years?
Sunny couldn't accept it for a while.
"How do I know what's going on? But this should be Knockturn Alley!" Delis shook his head, also surprised by the changes in Knockturn Alley.
You must know that this is a gathering place for dark wizards. The place that the Ministry of Magic usually has no control over now seems to be in order, and various promotional slogans are posted on the surrounding walls.
Due to Auror's keen intuition, Delis was 100% sure that there must be something wrong here.
The two exchanged opinions with each other and unanimously decided to find a few people to ask about the situation before talking. Then they stopped a middle-aged witch who happened to be passing by.
"Hello, madam, I heard that a conflict broke out in Knockturn Alley a few days ago, is that true?" Sunny asked.
"No, you misunderstood. No conflict broke out here." The witch narrowed her eyes and said with a smile. "That night, it was just some familiar wizards who gathered together to have a lively bonfire party."
"Bonfire party?" Sunny's eyes widened.
The corner of Delis's mouth twitched.
The middle-aged witch nodded and vividly described to the two the grand scene of the bonfire party that night. In the second half of the night, several drunk wizards competed in magic for a while, and ended up burning down a house. It caused quite a bit of chaos...
Delis was dubious.
Although the other party's statement is a bit weird, it is at least more reliable than the nonsense rumor that the resurrected Dark Lord escaped from Knockturn Alley.
"Then what's going on with these things?" Sunny pointed to the promotional slogans posted on the street wall and asked curiously.
The middle-aged witch explained with emotion that the chaotic situation in Knockturn Alley in the past few years has made every wizard living here feel pain in their hearts.
So this year they spontaneously united to drive away the troublesome dark wizards and decided to rebuild their own home.
And these slogans are their bright prospects for the future!
Sunny and Delis looked at each other and said goodbye to the witch numbly. They walked on the neat street with questions in their minds.
I'm afraid what I came here is not a fake Knockturn Alley...
