Chapter 629: Secret Talk with Malfoy, Discussing Betrayal of Voldemort (1/2)

Chapter 629: A secret talk with Malfoy to discuss betraying Voldemort

Bellatrix pulled up her sleeves, revealing the Dark Mark on her arm.

Just as she was about to press her wand, she was interrupted by the laughter of ‘Gandalf’, “Are you sure that’s Harry Potter, ma’am?

The Dark Lord is not here, he should be doing something more important.

If he is wrong and you call him over, he will not be in a good mood.”

“Thank you for the reminder.” Bellatrix put down her wand coldly, “I will check their wands now. If there are any signs of casting a stinging curse, I will call the owner over immediately.”

“Whatever.” ‘Gandalf’ shrugged indifferently, but Hermione seemed very anxious, but she did not show any abnormality under his comforting eyes.

Bellatrix took out three wands from the bag of the search team, one brown, one white, and one black.

Hermione looked at this scene, and her pupils widened a little.

She didn't find her wand, and she also recognized the white wand. It was Aaron's spare wand, but he didn't use it very often, so not many people knew about it.

Bellatrix picked up the brown wand and connected it with her own wand, "Flashback spell!"

A white light appeared at the place where the wands were connected. Bellatrix carefully checked it and threw away the brown wand, "Disarming spell? Not this."

She picked up the black wand and connected it with her wand, "Stunning spell? Not either."

Finally, she picked up the white wand and looked at Hermione playfully before testing it, "This is the last one. Does Granger have anything to say?"

"What?"

"I don't think you have anything to say." Bellatrix sneered and connected the wands, "Flashback spell!"

A ball of flame appeared in the air, and then it instantly expanded and rushed straight to the ceiling.

Bellatrix hurriedly undo the connection, and said with an unpleasant face: "Flame and expansion spells?"

"It seems that there is no trace of the stinging curse!" 'Gandalf' said sarcastically, "Madam, why don't you try to use the Dark Mark to call the Dark Lord back?

You can't be sure of Dudley's identity, but you can believe the Dark Lord."

"Shut up." Bellatrix cursed loudly, "The effect of the stinging curse will last until tomorrow morning at most. I don't mind waiting one more night.

Cissy, please put this traitor of the pure-blood family in the dungeon."

Narcissa shook her head, picked up Ron, and dragged him to the dungeon.

"Moenz, Granger and this old man, you deal with them yourself, don't let me see them tomorrow." Bellatrix said with anger, and left the living room cursing.

"Tsk!" Moenz snorted coldly, turned to look at Lucius, "Mr. Malfoy, can you arrange a room for Mr. Gandalf?

He is quite old, I am not very relieved to leave him at night."

This old man's fighting ability is stronger than Bella, what is there to worry about?

Lucius cursed in his heart, but his face was amiable, "No problem, there are many empty rooms upstairs, you can choose any one."

"Thank you!" Gandalf bowed slightly, "I wonder if you can also arrange a room for Miss Granger, she needs a good rest."

"That... is no problem." Lucius agreed reluctantly.

Although Granger is a mudblood, she has a close relationship with Gaius after all, so it is not a loss to take care of her more.

"By the way, there is one more thing." Gandalf rubbed his forehead, "If possible, I hope to talk to Draco?"

"Me?" Draco pointed at himself in confusion.

"What do you want to talk to my son?" Narcissa, who had just walked out of the dungeon, asked vigilantly.

"Ma'am, don't worry. I won't do anything bad to Draco.

You can come with me, but don't let others know. I think you understand what I mean."

Hearing this, Narcissa was stunned for a moment, turned her head and exchanged glances with Lucius. They really didn't know whether to agree or not.

After all, Gandalf has a special identity. He is the teacher of the popular Aak Moens in the Death Eater Group. His strength is not bad, but he is also very close to Granger and others. It's not that his family didn't recognize Harry Potter, but they didn't report him immediately for some reason.

"Lucius, I think it's better for you to agree." Moens said lightly, "Mr. has shown enough respect for the Malfoy family. Just a conversation will not harm you."

Lucius hesitated for a moment, "Can I go with you?"

"Sure." Gandalf smiled and nodded.

"Sir." Hermione hesitated, "Dudley, Ron and the others..."

"Have a good rest!" 'Gandalf' patted her shoulder and said meaningfully: "You can't do anything now.

You'd better not do anything, otherwise things will get worse."

Hermione pursed her lips, she could hear the meaning of 'Gandalf's' words.

She could ask for help from others, but she must not participate.

"Draco." Lucius shouted, "Take Mr. and Miss Granger down to rest, and prepare some food.

Sir, we will come later."

"Okay."

Draco arranged a room for Hermione and 'Gandalf', and hurried back to the living room.

'Gandalf' sat on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief. He had never expected that things would develop to this point, but overall it was not too bad.

Although Harry was captured, Voldemort did not come back, and he had plenty of time to save them.

The Hufflepuff gold cup was also found. As long as he got this Horcrux, he would have absolute initiative and could carry out Dumbledore's remaining plans at any time.

But Hermione was also captured. The contract could protect her once but not twice, so she must not be allowed to continue taking risks.

Compared with 'Gandalf's' calmness, Hermione was restless.

The first thing she did after arriving at the guest room was to close the door, lock the windows, and draw the curtains.

Without a wand, she had no way to cast a protective spell, so she could only check the entire room in a Muggle way.

After confirming that there was no surveillance or monitoring, she carefully took off the gold galleons hanging around her neck.

At the same time, Aaron's thought body in Hogwarts also found that the gold galleons used for communication had changed, and then began long-distance mental communication.

Hermione did not express her thoughts, but went straight to the point and succinctly described everything that happened today.

The thought body listened to her patiently, and in fact, he understood much more in detail than she did.

"So, you want me to notify the Order of the Phoenix?"

"It's the only way." Hermione said anxiously, "This is the only way. Harry must be rescued before the mysterious man comes back, otherwise he will die, and you..."

"Okay, okay, don't worry." The thought body smiled and comforted, "I can see the tears in your eyes hundreds of kilometers away.

Don't worry about saving them, I will take care of it.

All you have to do is rest well, and don't do anything extra, understand?"

"I know." Hermione felt a little relieved, "And there is 'Gandalf', Can you tell me who he is?"

The thought body raised his eyebrows, "Why do you want to know this?"

"I feel that he has a lot of secrets, and he is very close to a high-ranking Death Eater, and is discussing something with the Malfoy family. I am worried..."

"Your worries are unnecessary." The thought body smiled, "Hermione, I can tell you responsibly that 'Gandalf' is absolutely trustworthy. No matter what he does, you can trust him and you must trust him."

Hearing Aaron's serious words, Hermione's face also became serious. She also understood that there was definitely no problem with 'Gandalf'.

"Hermione, is there anything else?"

"Nothing else."

"That's good. I know you're worried about them, but ensuring your own safety is the top priority at all times." The thought body said earnestly, "From the moment you were caught, the contract protecting you became invalid. Next, you must withdraw from Harry's team."

"But..."

"No buts. You promised me that you can't take risks again after you have used up your chance to make a mistake.

You must leave with 'Gandalf' at the latest tomorrow, and then I will tell you all the plans of Dumbledore and me."

Hermione bit her lip and was silent for a long time before she mustered up the courage to say, "I will leave with him."

"Have a good sleep, everything will be over."

"Good night!"

After hanging up the call, the thought body sat up from the bed and walked towards the secret passage leading to the Temple of the Gods.

He needed to discuss with Aberforth. The old man had the means to monitor Harry, and he might have known that Harry was caught. He didn't ask him for help, but at least he couldn't get in the way.

......

More than an hour later, someone knocked on Gandalf's door.

Draco, Narcissa, and Lucius walked in cautiously.

"Sit down first!"

Gandalf waved his hand, and the teapot on the table flew up automatically, pouring four cups of hot tea.

The three looked at each other and sat down around the table.

Gandalf smiled with satisfaction, then pointed his staff at the door and carved a blue rune on it to prevent others from entering.

Then he knocked hard on the floor, and a white barrier enveloped the room.

"Okay, our conversation will not be known to others from now on." Gandalf said, "You three did not disappoint me just now. You clearly recognized Harry Potter, but did not say it clearly."

Lucius's face changed slightly, and he said slowly: "We don't know what you are talking about?"

Unless Voldemort is dead, they will never admit this.

"Sir, what exactly did you call us for?" Draco asked.

"Well..." 'Gandalf' took out a contract and handed it to them, "Sign it first! This contract will guarantee that you will not reveal the content of our conversation to a fifth person.

It's not that I don't trust you, but you can't stop the Dark Lord from capturing his divine thoughts."

"Why should we sign this?" Lucius asked.

"For your life and property." 'Gandalf' said very bluntly, and handed over a pen, "Sign or not?"

Narcissa took a deep breath and wrote her name on the contract neatly.

"Narcissa, you..."

"We are here, and it's okay to sign another contract.

And it's related to the safety of our family's life, why are you hesitating?"

Lucius's expression froze, and he signed under Narcissa's name with hesitation.

Draco didn't hesitate either. After all, his parents had signed, and it would be unreasonable for him not to sign.

"Very good." 'Gandalf' picked up the contract, a ball of fire appeared in his hand, and burned the contract to ashes, "Okay, the contract is reached."

"We have signed it, can we talk about business!" Lucius said impatiently.

"Of course, of course.

I need you to betray Fu... Ahem! The mysterious man."

"What did you say?" Lucius stood up immediately, "Let's go, and pretend we haven't been here tonight."

"Listen to me, it's not too late for you to leave." 'Gandalf' said calmly.

Narcissa looked at Lucius, pulled his arm, and made him sit down again.

"The reason is that you have no choice."

"How funny, how can we have no choice?" Lucius said unconvinced, "I got the prophecy ball for the Dark Lord, donated my own mansion as the headquarters of the Death Eaters, and Draco even shot down Dumbledore's wand.

Our family can't say that we have made great contributions, but we have made great contributions!"

"That's right, but you overlooked one point. In the face of huge interests, will the Dark Lord care about your past contributions?"

Narcissa's expression changed, and she asked in a hurried tone: "What do you mean?

The Malfoy family has made a lot of contributions to the Dark Lord's cause. Can he get any more benefits from us?"

"Of course, this benefit is irresistible to the Dark Lord." 'Gandalf' said seriously, "As long as he kills you, he can get a powerful weapon."

"Explain clearly." Narcissa looked at him seriously.

‘Gandalf’ took a sip of the teacup and asked meaningfully, “I wonder if Mr. Malfoy has ever heard of the Elder Wand, which is the elder wand in the story of the three brothers?”

Lucius looked puzzled. He and Narcissa were both from pure-blood families and knew some ancient rumors.

In the eyes of most people, the elder wand is just a fairy tale, but they know that the wand really exists, but its whereabouts are unknown.

"What does this have to do with us?"

"Of course it does, and it's very relevant." 'Gandalf' said, looking at Draco, making him swallow his saliva, "The Dark Lord has been looking for the Elder Wand for some time, and he has found the key clue, Gellert Grindelwald.

You should know that the way the Elder Wand chooses its master is very special. It only follows the strong, and only by defeating its previous master can it surrender.

And the person who defeated Gellert Grindelwald was Albus Dumbledore. In other words, Dumbledore was the previous owner of the Elder Wand."

"But Dumbledore is dead." Lucius said in a deep voice, "The Elder Wand is now ownerless."

"No, no, no, it still has an owner, and its owner is the one who defeated Dumbledore.

Then the question is, who defeated Dumbledore? Defeated the famous White Lord?"
