Hogwarts Reading Days

Malfoy Manor, in a dim room, Draco Malfoy squatted on a chair with his arms around his knees, staring blankly at the broken mirror in front of him.

A few days ago, the Malfoy house had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Draco's father Lucius' plan to lead people to raid the mudblood wedding not only failed, but was also stupid enough to lead others into the trap set by the Ministry of Magic, resulting in the arrest of many dark wizards who responded to him, and even lost their lives because of it .

The reputation of the Malfoy family was discredited overnight. Lucius, who had always been Draco's role model, became a loser in the mouths of countless Death Eaters, and he and his mother became what Death Eaters hated and spurned. Subject, because of Lucius' stupidity, the Death Eaters and those who believed in him suffered heavy losses.

Bad luck seems to be entangled with the Malfoy family. Not long after the Ministry of Magic won a big victory, a pair of Aurors visited Malfoy Manor, bringing them a letter from home and a fine of fifty thousand Galleons.

This was absolutely the craziest thing Draco had ever seen in his life.

That damned Scrimgeour had actually threatened them that if the Malfoy family didn't want to pay a hefty fifty thousand fine, his father Lucius wouldn't have the chance to enter the courtroom.

Pay, or just die.

It was his father Lucius' handwriting, and Draco would not admit it even if he died.In this family letter, Lucius secretly mentioned that there were two other wizards enjoying similar treatment. As for the other arrested Death Eaters, they were all "killed due to arrest".

Regardless of whether he was killed because of arrest or not, he was dead anyway.

Fifty thousand Galleons, although it was a huge sum of money for the wealthy Malfoy family, it was not impossible to get it out, but what was worse was that two other Death Eater families who also received similar letters came to their door.

The three were fined a full [-] Galleons.

It's just plain robbery.

Even the wealthy Malfoy family may not be able to make up the fine in a short period of time.

However, the most ridiculous thing is that it is because they are pure-blood wizards that they have the privilege of being fined and avoiding death. Look at the other unlucky Death Eaters who died the day they were caught.

The other black wizards who were arrested were even more unlucky. Not only were they tried in public with Veritaserum, but the most serious crimes were executed directly on the same day.

It is said that the new minister, Scrimgeour, set an example by personally executing the first batch of prisoners. Currently, black wizards are being executed every day.

No, it should be said that since Scrimgeour came to power, he was either participating in the trial or killing people every day, and even directly shouted: Only those who are killed by them have the right to forgive them, and we are only responsible for sending them to those who A slogan of repentance for those killed by them.

For this reason, Scrimgeour was given the title of Minister of the Executioner.

However, those who thought Scrimgeour was cruel and tried to discredit him were all arranged by Scrimgeour to participate in truth-telling interviews.

Most naysayers are made to stink and become pariahs in the wizarding world.

The Death Eaters had tried to make him pay, but his family was gone, and the dark wizards who tried to burn down their house were caught by Aurors in ambush, and publicly executed for the seriousness of the evidence.

Scrimgeour even publicly stated that he would fight against the dark forces until he was killed in office, becoming the most iron-blooded minister in the history of the magic world.

And it was still a lucky thing that his father was locked in the prison of Azkaban.

Because he is still alive, while everyone else is dead.

However, this caused other Dark wizards and Death Eaters to hate Malfoy even more for organizing the operation, and even suspected him of betraying the Dark Lord.

Since his father was captured and sent to Azkaban, Draco's originally happy life fell apart.

After Voldemort's resurrection, the Malfoy family did not return to their former glory, let alone be respected under the new regime, and he himself was not sought after as the son of Voldemort's second-in-command.

Everything is just a dream bubble.

The Malfoy family had nearly collapsed due to father Lucius' successive failures, his mother was distraught and overwhelmed, and Draco had to take on the man's responsibilities and bring the Malfoy family back together.

However, before Draco Malfoy could figure out a way to revive the Malfoy family, another bad news came: the Dark Lord wanted to see him.

All this made Draco feel extremely terrified. Although he had imagined the scene of Voldemort winning, he never imagined that he would face the Dark Lord directly.

There was a knock on the wooden door, and his mother, Narcissa, and Aunt Bella were standing outside.

"Draco, are you ready?" Narcissa said tremblingly.

"Be happy Narcissa, I think this is the first time Draco has met the Dark Lord." Bellatrix said excitedly, "You should be proud of it."

Narcissa looked at her sister with trembling lips, she didn't say anything, she never thought it was a good thing for the Dark Lord to summon Draco at this time.

Draco changed into decent clothes, and with the help of Bellatrix, he successfully met the legendary Dark Lord.

Without any awe.

Voldemort terrified Draco.

"Lucius failed. He not only got himself caught, but also caught up with many people." Voldemort's cold voice contained anger and Draco lowered his head tremblingly. He didn't even have the courage to look directly into the Dark Lord's eyes.

"Malfoy is an ancient family, and your glory can only be regained by yourself." Voldemort looked at Lucius Malfoy's son and said coldly, "I will give you another chance."

"What chance?" Malfoy asked, moving his lips.

"A very secret plan is entrusted to you to execute." Voldemort said grimly, "I want you to murder Albus Dumbledore."

"Murder Albus Dumbledore," Draco repeated tremblingly.

"Yes, as long as you can successfully kill Dumbledore, the Malfoy family can regain their glory, and I will personally release Lucius from Azkaban." Voldemort said with those scarlet eyes Looking at Draco Malfoy, "And you will be honored above all others."

"I do." Draco said firmly.

"Very good, stretch out your left arm, I will give you the qualification to become a Death Eater, don't let me down again." Voldemort looked at the little Malfoy whose arm was trembling slightly, and warned: "If you fail, If you run away or surrender, the Malfoy family will have no honor to speak of, and you and your family will pay the price with your life for this."

"I will succeed."

Draco had accepted full membership of the Death Eaters, and he wanted to return his father to Voldemort's favor and to restore the Malfoy family to their own glory.

Draco quickly convinced himself that murdering Dumbledore did not cause him much psychological pressure.

Because those who oppose Voldemort have always surrounded the principal of Hogwarts, as long as there is no principal of Hogwarts, the Dark Lord will rule the wizarding world again, and he believes that the world will become a better place.

Voldemort was obviously satisfied with this, raised his wand and branded the Dark Mark on Draco's arm.

"Master, what should I do?"

Draco asked, looking down, a little confused, because the Dark Lord had no demands on his plan to murder Dumbledore.

"Do as you want, and kill Dumbledore as much as you can." Voldemort looked at Draco full of desire for revenge, and was very satisfied.

He didn't care if Draco Malfoy was able to kill Dumbledore, because he wasn't the one to carry out the plan, but if he succeeded, it would be the best, and it would solve a big problem for him.

If it fails, then Lucius Malfoy will taste the pain of losing his son, which Voldemort believes is the greatest punishment for Lucius.

Looking at the Dark Mark on his arm, Draco left respectfully, knowing that he still had hope to restore the glory of the Malfoy family.

After meeting his mother and aunt Bella, Draco told them about the mission the Dark Lord had entrusted to him.

"Draco, I'm proud of you," Bellatrix said excitedly, "Narcissa, you should be happy, the Dark Lord gave Draco a very high honor."

Narcissa hugged her son tremblingly, weeping silently.

"Mom, I will succeed, but... I need help, and the Dark Lord didn't ask me what to do, and he didn't let me tell others about my plan... I need a tight plan, and I need more help. I couldn't have killed Dumbledore alone."

"I'm glad you didn't back down when faced with responsibility." Bellatrix patted Draco on the shoulder lightly, "I'll teach you what to do, and as for helpers, that's not a problem."

"Let me go back and find a way first." Draco was overwhelmed by anger, and now he just wanted to complete the task and restore the glory of the Malfoy family.

Watching the back of her son leaving, Narcissa collapsed on the floor and sobbed.She knew that this was the Dark Lord's revenge for Lucius' failure. The Dark Lord never thought of his son's success, and only wanted him to die!

"Draco has grown up, and you should be happy for him," said Bellatrix grimly. "And, Draco is also very happy to have the opportunity to prove his abilities."

"Draco's just a kid, he's only 16." Narcissa stared at her sister beggingly.

"Don't worry about Narcissa, I will help Draco." Bella said excitedly, "You should believe that Draco can kill Dumbledore."

"How could Draco succeed!" Narcissa cried, "Even the Dark Lord couldn't kill Dumbledore."

"How dare you..." Bellatrix gasped.

"He is my only son..." Narcissa frantically tugged at her long golden hair.
