Chapter 499 Mark
Just when Lucius and Li Zhuoguang were talking happily, Narcissa came over with a notebook. Seeing that Li Zhuoguang seemed to be talking well with her husband, she was relieved.
She immediately walked to Li Zhuoguang, took out the notebook, and said to Li Zhuoguang: "This is a magic prop collected by our Malfoy family, which can assist learning..."
Narcissa was still talking, and Lucius saw the thing in Narcissa's hand, and his eyes almost popped out. That thing was given to him by his master for safekeeping. Although he didn't know what it was used for, it was definitely something that could be taken out and shown to others at will.
Li Zhuoguang took the notebook, swept his mind towards the notebook, and his smile disappeared immediately. Because he sensed a soul in the notebook. This notebook... no, the diary is Voldemort's Horcrux.
Although Voldemort's Horcrux was also in Li Zhuoguang's plan, he absolutely could not accept getting the Horcrux in this way. Giving the Horcrux as a gift to himself, and telling him that it was a learning prop, this is not a friendly act.
Li Zhuoguang took the notebook and looked at Lucius: "Such a precious magic prop, are you sure you want to give it to me?"
Lucius was a little nervous, but then he remembered that when the Dark Lord gave him the diary, no one else knew about it, not even his wife.
So Lucius planned to fool around first, and then find a way to get the diary back. Although he wanted to deal with these bad assets related to black magic, he would not deal with them from the ally he had finally won over.
Lucius organized his words and said: "I'm sorry, my wife took the wrong gift. This diary seems to have been cast with a kind of black magic. This is not the gift I want to give you."
After that, Lucius winked at Narcissa, who immediately took the notebook from Li Zhuoguang's hand and apologized to Li Zhuoguang. They had no idea that just now, they had walked through the gates of hell.
Lucius snapped his fingers and called the house elf: "Go to the drawer in my study and bring me the automatic feather pen set."
Lucius originally bought the automatic feather pen set to give to his son, but now he can only use it for emergency. As for Draco, he can prepare a new gift.
Li Zhuoguang thought for a while and said: "There is one more thing. We need to show our strength now. Although some people came up to test us before, we simply sent them away without bloodshed."
Lucius became nervous when he heard this: "How do you want to show your strength?"
Seeing that he was a little scared, Li Zhuoguang comforted him: "Don't worry, I won't take action against those new forces and white wizards. Didn't you say there are still some remnants of the Dark Lord?"
Lucius felt a little relieved. He thought about it and understood Li Zhuoguang's choice. After all, they were the only ones who would not have any objections from the Ministry of Magic even if they were killed.
He nodded and said, "I will hold a party in a few days. I will invite some families familiar with Malfoy to come and introduce them to you.
Invite some families who are not too hostile to Malfoy. They will witness everything and prove that these are all the dark wizards who took the initiative to attack. We are just passive counterattacks."
"Then how do you plan to lure them over?"
Lucius said with a bad face, "No need to lure them. They have been trying to deal with me for a long time. In fact, I originally planned to get rid of them recently to prevent future troubles.
I started to release some false news that could attract them a few months ago. I originally planned to lead them to Mad-Eye, but it's not too late to make some changes now."
After finalizing the two things, Li Zhuoguang's purpose of coming here today was achieved. After chatting for a while, Lucius saw that Li Zhuoguang was not interested, so he took the initiative to end the topic, and Li Zhuoguang left.
After Li Zhuoguang left, Narcissa came over and asked, "Did I ruin your business?"
Lucius shook his head and said, "Forget it, you were just careless. This diary was made by a very powerful dark wizard. If you can't tell it's a dark magic item, it's normal."
Narcissa wanted to ask why Li Zhuoguang saw it at a glance, but she remembered what her son had just said, so she stopped there.
Lucius glanced at the diary in his hand: "There are still too many dark magic items collected at home. If it were in the past, no family would not have some dark magic items. But now, they are getting more and more pressing, and we have to find a way to deal with it."
Narcissa suggested: "Why don't we sell it to Borgin and Burke?"
Lucius nodded: "This is a good idea, and we just need a large sum of money in the near future. But there are a small number of things that I have to deal with personally."
Narcissa asked: "Besides Borgin and Burke, where else can I collect dark magic items?"
Lucius glanced at the notebook in his hand: "Dumbledore."
"Lu, how much did you drink just now?"
"I'm not going to give the things directly to Dumbledore, that will only send me to Azkaban. I will use some means to get the things into his hands. After all, some things are too dangerous to keep in our hands now. I can only feel at ease when they are in his hands."
Just as the couple was chattering, Draco Malfoy came out of his room. He saw his parents with sad faces and thought that the meeting with Li Zhuoguang was not ideal.
Although he was not very old, he was born in a pure-blood family after all, and he knew a lot. He felt that it was time for him to share his parents' worries.
Draco gritted his teeth and said to his father: "Dad, if it doesn't work, I will find a way to get along with Harry Potter next semester, so that others will change their views on us, right?"
Lucius widened his eyes, not knowing why his son would think so: "No, don't. If you can become friends naturally, it's good, but you don't try to get close to Harry Potter deliberately. It's too conspicuous, everyone can see it."
"Don't you always say that you should make friends who are useful to you? What does it matter if others see it?"
"Because our identity is too sensitive, actively approaching the boy who survived will only make others think that we have ulterior motives."
Malfoy was a little confused: "Their impression of us has already It's bad enough, can it be worse? "
Lucius shook his head: "Do you think I'm talking about Dumbledore and the others? I'm not worried about them, they are 'good people', I can't be more confident about them.
For example, Arthur Weasley, I swear he dreams of sending me to Azkaban, but if you get into trouble and run to him for help, he will help you even if he knows you are my son.
That's why I chose to send you to Hogwarts, under Dumbledore's nose. You are the safest by his side.
What I'm really worried about are some other things... Draco, you are not young anymore, you should know some things. "
Lucius lifted his sleeves and revealed the mark of the Dark Lord engraved on his arm. After all, they are a family, and Draco certainly knows that his father used to be a Death Eater.
Lucius looked at the mark on his arm with a little fear: "This is the mark that the Dark Lord personally stamped on my arm. He used this mark to summon us in the past.
This mark is not difficult to make, even I can do it. One of its characteristics is that the stronger the person who stamps it, or the closer they are, the clearer the mark will be.
But if the person who stamps it dies, the mark will also disappear. It has been ten years, and although it is dim, it has never disappeared."
