"Regulus Black, do you know what you are doing?"
Of course Lucius Malfoy knew what he had just done and what he had lost.
Tom Riddle's diary, Voldemort's Horcruxes, as the Death Eater closest to Voldemort, Lucius Malfoy has the qualifications to preserve Voldemort's Horcruxes. However, of course the Dark Lord would not directly state that this was his Horcrux. He would only say that it was a dark magic item and he asked the Malfoy family to keep it properly. This dark magic item is a Horcrux, a fact verified by Lucius Malfoy himself.
Originally, Lucius Malfoy didn't care about the diary placed in the secret room, but last night Arthur Weasley's nine consecutive surprise inspections turned the Malfoy Manor upside down. Arthur had to explain many dark magic items left behind by his family, but Arthur Weasley didn't take anything away, he just fought back over and over again.
Why is this happening? What is Arthur Weasley looking for
Lucius Malfoy, who was seriously paranoid, finally figured out the reason! He himself broke into a cold sweat.
Voldemort's Horcrux! The Dark Lord's Diary!
After dawn, after confirming that Arthur would not show up on time for a surprise inspection, Lucius Malfoy decided to throw away the diary immediately. He must deal with the diary as having nothing to do with him, and it is best to deal with it. enemy.
When I was still thinking about which political opponent to frame, I happened to meet the Weasley family in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.
They also bought so many second-hand books! hehe! God-given opportunity.
Lucius Malfoy casually choked the children and mixed the diary into Ginny's second-hand books without attracting attention.
Perfect! Lucius Malfoy decided to celebrate with a drink when he got home.
But when Regulus Black took out the diary from the pile of second-hand books, everything became ridiculous.
"What am I doing?" Regulus Black pretended not to understand Lucius's question. "I have been looking for a book. I believe it is a unique and unique book in the world. I finally saw it just now. .”
Lucius Malfoy didn't know how to defend himself. The other party didn't say anything. Did he want to admit it himself
It is simply unimaginable that if the Ministry of Magic confirms with magic that this diary leaked from him, then the identity of the Malfoy family's Death Eaters will be revealed again, and the identity of the Dark Lord's followers will be forever determined. Death on the Malfoy family tree.
Now pull out the wand, kill the opponent and get the diary back? This is absolutely impossible to do in Diagon Alley, and it's not clear where the other party hid the diary. Just now I saw the other party holding the diary, and then the diary disappeared.
Lucius Malfoy has never been so full of fear, embarrassment, pain, self-blame, and regret as he is now.
A wicked smile appeared on Regulus Black's always cold face.
"Lucius! Regarding the Black family's assets, I remember that some of them are in your hands." Regulus Black approached Lucius Malfoy, "You know, I am dedicated to reviving the Black family. Although I am the only one at the moment, but if my stupid brother comes back and finds that all the family assets have been seized, transferred, and divided, he will laugh at me, the orthodox heir. If you are willing to help me, you will Gain the friendship of the Black family."
Lucius Malfoy took a look and realized that he was going to negotiate terms! Does he know what the diary he is holding is? Maybe he didn't know, but he just discovered his behavior and confirmed that there was something wrong with the diary, and now he dared to threaten himself like this.
"Oh! Then how can I help you?"
Lucius Malfoy wiped away his cold sweat calmly, he wanted to see what Regulus Black would ask for.
"It turns out that the Black family has a small dock, and you are in charge of it now, right?"
Regulus Black immediately reported the other party's name as soon as he opened his mouth. It originally belonged to the largest part of the Black family's assets.
"You are talking about that pier! There is such a pier. Although it is a little small and can only dock one ship, it can still bring in a lot of revenue every year. Why do you think I will return it to you? Or how much are you willing to pay to buy it back?"
Lucius Malfoy was threatened in person, and he was threatened in front of the Weasley family. It would be a shame if he could swallow this threat.
Want your Black family assets back? Can! Take the money and buy it back.
"Obviously! Lucius, you don't know what these assets mean. For you, they are some interests, and for the Black family, they are all history. If you want to get something in return, I may be able to help you. Get rid of some unclean things.”
Regulus Black's words seemed to be referring to the diary he had just obtained, but then he grabbed the other person's left arm.
"It's impossible, no one can do it."
Lucius Malfoy's expression changed again. The other party was deceiving him, right? It's a bit of a lie to oneself.
What Regulus Black and Lucius Malfoy were talking about was actually the Dark Mark.
The Dark Mark is Voldemort's special mark. Whenever he or his Death Eaters kill someone, they will leave the Dark Mark on the body or house.
At first glance, the Dark Mark looks like a huge skeleton, made up of countless green star-like things, with a large python emerging from the skull's mouth, like a tongue. After it appears, it will rise higher and higher, and a group of green smoke emits dazzling light, like a new constellation against the dark night sky.
The Dark Mark is also used as the mark of a Death Eater and is branded on the left arm of everyone who joins the ranks of Death Eaters as a mark of identification.
Whenever Voldemort was powerful or around, the marks on the Death Eaters' arms would burn with pain, become increasingly clear, and turn red. As long as Voldemort presses the Dark Mark on a Death Eater's arm, he can summon other Death Eaters. At this time, they must immediately disapparate and appear next to Voldemort to obey his orders. When a Death Eater touches the Dark Mark branded on his or her left arm, Voldemort can also feel summoned and Apparate to him or her.
No one has ever been able to remove the Dark Mark. If it could be removed, those Death Eaters who escaped punishment would not say that they were controlled by a curse, but would simply remove the Dark Mark from their arms.
"Ah~! Let's not mention these things for now. Mutual trust takes time. Once some things are sorted out, you will naturally know whether my sincerity is true. So, do you have time these days? Because school is about to start. I’ll be too busy again.”
Regulus Black hopes to hand over the dock assets as soon as possible. Of course, Lucius Malfoy may delay it, but at that time, he will be able to let him go without just returning the assets.
Um… ! It feels so good to hold onto someone else’s pigtails!
"Dad! Why do I think the teaching assistant and Lucius are in the same group?"
Ron was very unhappy when he was choked and looked stupid, so he was unhappy when he saw everything. Now he saw Regulus Black and Lucius Malfoy talking in low voices. He was very unhappy, especially Draco Malfoy. If you stop them and don't let them get close, that would be extremely unpleasant!
So although this question was directed at Arthur Weasley, everyone present could hear the voice clearly.
"Who allowed you to call my father by his first name!"
Draco immediately stared at Ron and asked. The image of his father Lucius should not be desecrated by others in his mind.
"You should trust your teaching assistant, Ron."
Arthur Weasley patted his son on the shoulder to express his position. He didn't know how Regulus Black had talked to him before, but his trust level was so high now.
"If you don't trust Blake, you're going to have a hard time passing the exam because you won't trust what he's teaching."
In order to protect her lover, Hermione did not hesitate to hit Ron.
