Chapter 795 You Should Be Glad that You Don’t Have the Talent to Become a Villain
Malfoy was silent for a while, looked around, and stammered. "I have something I want to tell you alone..."
"Okay!" Ivan waved his hand, beckoning the onlookers to continue practicing spells, and then took Malfoy out of the Room of Requirement alone.
Walking in the empty corridor of the castle, Malfoy said hesitantly when he saw no one around. "The Dark Lord wants to kill you..."
"Well, I know!" Ivan raised his eyebrows, not surprised at all.
He had previously used Legilimency to read the corresponding memories from Malfoy's mind, so Ivan quickly stopped, turned to look at Malfoy, and said.
"You are the one chosen by Voldemort to attack, right? Malfoy?"
Draco Malfoy's pupils shrank, and he looked at Ivan in surprise, wondering how he knew. He had not followed the Dark Lord's instructions these days, so there was no possibility of the secret being exposed.
Could it be that there is a mole among the Death Eaters?
Malfoy suddenly became a little flustered, lest Ivan misunderstood, he hurriedly explained.
"Although the Dark Lord asked me to find a way to assassinate you, I didn't do that. And Snape... Professor Snape was sent by the Dark Lord to supervise me, so I have to send you something every once in a while. , to show that he is working... I told him that putting candy in the package is to dispel your vigilance and to prepare for future poisoning..."
Malfoy said everything he should and shouldn't say at once, but what made him feel more and more panicked was that Ivan's expression remained unchanged, as if he had known it for a long time.
"Relax, I didn't doubt your intentions..." Ivan calmed Malfoy's excitement and continued. "But you came to me specifically tonight just to tell me the news?"
Malfoy hesitated for a moment before speaking. "It's my father who wants to see you... The first two messages we sent to you are our sincerity..."
Speaking of this, Malfoy looked a little awkward. In fact, Lucius asked him to please Ivan Hals as much as possible and ease the relationship with him at all costs.
But facing such a "mortal enemy" who had been fighting for more than four years, Malfoy really couldn't lose face, so he could only choose the stupid method of sending gifts and information...
"Oh? Lucius wants to see me?"
Ivan was finally a little surprised. He tried to probe Malfoy's thoughts, but found that the other party did not know the reason why Lucius met him.
But it’s easy to guess what this second-year kid was thinking. He simply felt that Voldemort had suffered a huge defeat and was hiding in a safe house like a lost dog. It seemed like he was going to end sooner or later, so he decisively chose to rebel...
Thinking of this, Ivan calmed down and continued to speak.
"So, you betrayed Voldemort by following Lucius's orders? What about yourself? I remember that you should really want to become a glorious Death Eater..."
There was a hint of sarcasm in Ivan's tone, and Malfoy's face suddenly turned red, and it took him a long time to stutter out a response.
"I thought...I thought becoming a Death Eater would..."
"Can you bully Muggles wantonly and restore the glory of pure-blood wizards?" Ivan finished the next words for Malfoy indifferently, and then continued with a sneer.
"But obviously you are wrong. You have discovered that Death Eaters are just a bunch of lunatics. Voldemort is cruel to Muggles and even more vicious to his own people. In his eyes, you are just the humblest servants and lackeys!
He forced you to kill me, but you didn't dare and couldn't do it, so you were afraid? Afraid that if you fail to complete the task, he will torture and kill you and your family? "
Ivan looked at Malfoy with eyes as sharp as a carving knife.
Draco Malfoy opened his mouth to retort, but finally closed his mouth in despair.
Because Ivan was not wrong, he did think so before, and even thought that becoming a Death Eater was a cool thing.
It wasn't until that day when he saw his father Lucius tortured by the Dark Lord with the Cruciatus Curse for making a mistake that his illusions collapsed...
The Dark Lord's rule is not heaven, but a bottomless hell.
The Death Eaters' actions are no more playful than usual. He either chooses to kill or be killed. There is no third possibility...
"So you worry too much and don't have the talent to become a villain, Malfoy..." Ivan said half sarcastically and half with emotion.
Draco Malfoy was silent and looked very depressed. Lucius's extremely humble posture in front of Voldemort that day almost shattered his outlook on life and made him understand that the so-called pure-blood glory was not worth it at all. carry.
Paying attention to Draco Malfoy's depressed look, Ivan shook his head, stopped trying to beat him up, and said directly.
"Didn't you just say that your father wants to see me? Malfoy? I can give him a chance to inform Lucius and ask him to come to Hogwarts tomorrow night... I will be in the living room on the first floor. Wait for him, it’s one o’clock sharp in the middle of the night!”
"Don't wait until the time comes..."
…
Late Saturday night at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy stood in front of the entrance hall and waited anxiously, his eyes constantly looking towards the castle, for fear of being caught by the patrolling Filch.
At ten minutes past midnight, a figure shrouded in black robes walked in from the foyer.
Draco slowly breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward to meet him. The figure also reached out and took off the hood on his head. The person who came was none other than Lucius Malfoy.
"I received your letter, Draco. You did a good job this time. Now take me to see Ivan Hals." Lucius patted Draco on the shoulder and said appreciatively.
Draco nodded and hurriedly led Lucius towards the living room on the first floor.
Along the way, Lucius asked from time to time what happened in Hogwarts since the beginning of school, especially everything related to Ivan.
These are extraordinary times, and the envelope may be intercepted. They did not dare to say too much in the letter when communicating, so Lucius only had a rough understanding before.
He only knew that Draco deceived Snape by sending a package and hid some notes with information in the package, thus gaining the other party's trust and giving him the opportunity to meet this time.
However, Lucius was very dissatisfied with Draco's method of wooing Ivan Hals, it was too petty! It only cost a few dozen Galleons from beginning to end, which made him very disappointed. You should know that it usually costs tens of thousands of Galleons to win over a senior official of the Ministry of Magic.
"If you don't know what Hals likes, you can also start with his friends and give them some gifts...Those brats will always be easier to deal with. They are nothing more than new brooms, gifts and toys, and the like." Lu Xiusiti nodded and said.
Draco made no reply with a dark face.
friend? Which friend?
That annoying Harry Potter? Or the red-haired Weasley? Anyway, he has no shame to give gifts...
