Chapter 584 The Role of Lucius

Lucius Malfoy had no reason not to take up the pie that Ada had drawn with his own hands. The most important thing was that he had no choice now.

Draco Malfoy's departure from Hogwarts could not be concealed. Although Crabbe and Goyle were still following him as followers, they had a vague sense of spying on Draco.

Early the next morning, Crabbe and Goyle could not find Draco, so they passed the news of his disappearance to their fathers.

Although Old Crabbe and Old Goyle were as stupid as their sons, they were bad, like moldy grapes, full of bad things. How could they miss this opportunity to put eye drops on the stinking peacock Lucius!

As soon as Draco Malfoy disappeared from Hogwarts, Operation Backfoot raided the manor where the Death Eaters were hiding. If you say this has nothing to do with Draco, who will believe it!

From the time of the blitz on the manor until the manor was destroyed by the war, the Malfoys never showed up. Afterwards, no one was found alive or dead, and their only son Draco was also missing. What do you think Voldemort would think?

Whether external or internal, terror is Voldemort's tool of rule. There is no Death Eater who has not been punished by him with the Cruciatus Curse, and his treatment of traitors is even more cruel.

There is three feet of snow on Igor Karkaroff's grave. This is what happened to him for betraying Voldemort!

I'm afraid that Voldemort now wants to find out the Malfoy family and bleed them one by one. It's like hanging upside down on a pillar and draining the last drop of blood from your body.

There is no cruelty, only more cruelty.

Having betrayed Voldemort, what awaits the Malfoy family will be an endless pursuit by the Dark Lord. If they want to survive, they are weak and can only seek shelter from the strong to protect them from the Death Eaters and the Dark Lord's revenge.

Abandoning the darkness and turning to the light is the only effort they can make for themselves. Reflect your own value, get more attention, and thus get more comprehensive protection. Keep living. As long as you are alive, there is still hope.

Lucius couldn't have wished for this pie that Ada had drawn with her own hands. Lucius believed that his knowledge of the Dark Lord and Death Eaters was enough to make the cake sweeter and more delicious.

"Do you know anything about Tom Riddle's school days?" Ada asked directly without any detours.

Just hearing Voldemort's real name, Lucius's reaction was exaggerated. He combed his pale golden hair with trembling fingers to make himself look stronger.

"Ahem...well...you should know my father, Abraxas Malfoy." Lucius said uncomfortably.

"Of course, your father was a big influencer back then." Ada replied, "It is said that Nobby Rich's resignation was the result of your father's handiwork. A Muggle-born Minister of Magic made the pure-blood family very uneasy!"

Lucius was even more uncomfortable now. He had just subconsciously ignored that Ada was Dumbledore's student. Ada faced off against Dumbledore and Voldemort one after another without falling behind. Sometimes people forget that she only left school for more than half a year.

Not long ago, Ada just celebrated her nineteenth birthday.

Before going to Hogwarts to study, Ada had been living in a Muggle orphanage. Many people knew about this. While at school, Ada made good friends with the Weasley family. Her attitude towards Muggles was naturally different from that of the pure-blood family, and was similar to the principal Dumbledore.

For many years, the pure-blood family has not dealt with Dumbledore, isn't it because they have different ideas from the magic world's combat power ceiling?

Pure-blood families despise those Muggle-born wizards and call them mudbloods, which a mudblood minister certainly cannot tolerate.

Lucius wanted to skip his father at this moment, but he couldn't do that. His old father played a very important role and couldn't be skipped. He said tentatively: "My father and the Dark Lord met when they were students."

Seeing that Ada didn't show any disgust, he continued calmly: "Since then, the Dark Lord has been calling himself... you know that title in private."

Is this considered a secondary disease? Voldemort - Flying away from death, he is so afraid of death at such a young age that there is no way he can be saved.

On the contrary, Ada felt that the name Tom Riddle sounded better and easier to pronounce. Isn't it just that he has the same name as his Muggle father? Why is he so annoying?

"My father once said something about the Dark Lord's student days..." Lucius racked his brains and tried his best to dig out his memories, and finally told a few old things about Voldemort.

It's a pity that Ada has known these things for a long time. For example, Voldemort may be related to the Chamber of Secrets, and there is nothing exciting about the old things Lucius said.

To be able to escape the Ministry of Magic's trial after Voldemort lost power and continue to be active in the upper class society of the wizarding world, Lucius naturally has good eyesight. He could tell that Ada was not interested in these contents.

"That's right!" Lucius suddenly raised his voice, "The Slug Club! The club convened by Horace Slughorn in order to expand his contacts. The Dark Lord was once a member of this club. , much loved by Slughorn."

"That old man is now the Potions Professor at Hogwarts." Draco said, standing aside.

After returning to teach at Hogwarts, Slughorn reconvened the Slug Club and invited many students to participate, such as the famous Harry Potter.

As the only heir to the Malfoy family, Draco should have been invited.

It was only because Voldemort had returned and Lucius had become a fugitive wanted by the Ministry of Magic that Master Draco did not receive the invitation.

Ada chewed the name silently. Slughorn returned to the school to teach, always giving people a sense of déjà vu as Grover Cecil. Was it simply because there was a vacancy for the Potions Professor that Dumbledore found his old colleague?

Is it true? I don’t believe it...

With a woman's intuition, Ada believes that Horace Slughorn should be an important clue. It's just that the other party's current identity is the potion professor of Hogwarts, which is a bit troublesome.

"Do you or your father know about his movements after leaving school?" Ada continued to ask.

Lucius began racking his brains again, his expression even more painful than constipation.

After a while, Lucius shook his head helplessly and said, "No, my father never mentioned this during his lifetime. I'm afraid only he himself knows what the Dark Lord did during the years after he disappeared."

Abraxas met Tom Riddle when they were both students. Although Tom has shown talents, he is not yet the Voldemort that everyone fears. The two have only known each other since childhood.

Lucius was also deeply trusted. With his father's love and the wealth and status of the Malfoy family, he could almost be said to be the number two figure in the Death Eaters.

It was such a father and son who had known Voldemort for more than half a century, but knew very little about him. Was Voldemort's cautious and suspicious nature born from his mother's womb?

"Tom once gave you a diary. Do you know who else he gave similar things to?" Ada asked, her tone flat and without any hint of blame.

On the side, Narcissa was worried that her husband's answer would not satisfy Ada, so she rushed to confess Bellatrix.

But Ada already knew about this, Snape told her. Hufflepuff's gold cup had also been destroyed long ago. Compared with the gold cup, Ada cared more about the whereabouts of the locket.

When you find the lost locket, you find Voldemort's Horcrux, and you're one step closer to defeating Voldemort.

Lucius shook his head again, he still couldn't answer Ada's question.

Mr. Malfoy was frustrated, feeling that the information he provided would not make him taken seriously. At the same time, he also deeply realized that the Dark Lord had never trusted anyone.

"Let's stay here for today." Ada stood up. "If you think of anything, let Mr. Scrimgeour inform me."

With that said, Ada opened the ajar wooden door and walked out of the office where the Malfoy family was being guarded.
