HP Dawn Night

Chapter 265 The Sword of Gryffindor

A month into school, I first heard from my dad telling me to meet him in the principal's office.

"Did you learn anything in Slytherin?"

The walls of the headmaster's office are decorated with portraits of previous headmasters, including Dumbledore.I didn't dare to look more, I just glanced at it hastily.It was midnight, and they all seemed to be asleep, but I'm pretty sure some of them quietly opened their eyes and looked at me.

"Both Nott and Daphne haven't moved yet, but I don't think this stalemate will last long." I reported, "Today's Defense Against the Dark Arts class still uses Astoria as the experimental object. Nott glanced at him when Daphne couldn't help laughing."

"Nott may still be calm, after all, his father must have sternly warned him not to be stupid in this matter." Dad's words were roughly the same as my guess, "But have you paid attention to others? Like Clara Boo, Gore..."

"Draco thinks they're the same as they used to be. As for the other students, Pansy and Blaise told me they'll have some private conversations about the Death Eaters, the Dark Lord, Dumbledore's Army, and the Order of the Phoenix, but not yet. What people have talked about publicly." I hesitated, "It's kind of weird."

"No surprise. They want to see whether your alliance with Draco will win in this tug-of-war, or whether Nott and Daphne will replace you." Dad's voice echoed in the empty office, "You are in Huo Gwartzli was too merciful, as a spy you have to be ruthless."

I was taken aback: "But——"

"The object you want to confuse is not just the Carlos and Daphne, but everyone." Dad stared at me with dark eyes, "Don't forget, the image of you in their hearts should be a villain through and through, what a pity you His demeanor seemed closer to indecision than cruelty."

"You mean I shouldn't replace the Cruciatus Curse with the Imperius Curse?" I opened my eyes wide, "but you know what's going to happen... Astoria will probably go crazy and be caught instead So are her students..."

"Seriously, Vio, even if you treated Astoria gently, wouldn't she be crazy?" Dad asked coldly, "Isn't she doing it on her own to get to where she is today? Or Said you were willing to mess with your own plans to save her?"

"Of course not! I didn't mean that." I hastily argued.

"Then harden your mind and do things the Death Eater way!"

There was silence for a while.

"Millison came to us a few days after school started, and she saw that we did not support the Dark Lord and asked to join." I repeated what Millison said that day, "Do you think she is serious? ?"

"It's surprising that she's smarter than her parents." Dad's eyes flickered. "Yes, I don't think she's lying. You can trust her, but how much you trust is up to you." thing."

"So, if Theodore and Daphne fall out," I asked, "should I sit back and watch?"

"That's right." Dad paused, "If the situation is forced to stand in line, you'd better choose to support Daphne. It's easy for you to take down a fake Rozier, but it's not so easy to deal with Knott." It's easy. What's more... I don't think Miss Astoria will ignore your past after getting out of the predicament, she is much more cunning than her sister."

"I see." I nodded.

"The other thing is... when you're an adult, there's a good chance the Dark Lord will start sending you on missions," Dad said. "I'm sure Draco told you what it's like to fight alongside the Death Eaters?"

I nodded silently, that was a real fight rather than a small fight in school.

"The spells you have mastered are enough, and members of the Order of the Phoenix generally don't use deadly spells." Dad reminded, "But you have to pay attention to the dark arrows from within the Death Eaters. In the era when the Dark Lord first ruled, A Death Eater fight is far more dangerous than a fight with the White Wizard. Come closer, and remember how Gibbon died at the Battle of the Tower of June."

Gibbon was killed by a Killing Curse issued by one of his own people. Although it was a manslaughter, but——

"I know." I fumbled nervously at my wand in my pocket. "So what charm should I use? I mean, should I go all in or keep myself safe?"

"Let the other Death Eaters rush forward to block the main attack, while you attack the White Wizard without disarming, petrifying, or knocking yourself out - preferably Stunning and Petrifying - if necessary Now you can deliberately inflict some trauma on yourself, and then the Dark Lord will reward you for your hard work."

"What do you think the Dark Lord would have me do? Persecuting Muggles, chasing Potter, rounding up runaway witches?"

"No one can guess what the Dark Lord is thinking, and neither can I." Dad motioned me to step forward, "I came to you this evening mainly for this matter."

I saw a long and narrow box on his desk, and inside was a shining silver sword.

"The sword of Gryffindor!" I exclaimed, this is the first time I saw the legendary relic of the Big Four, "Why is it here with you?"

"Of course it was handed over by me." The portrait of Dumbledore on the wall suddenly opened his eyes and spoke.

"headmaster--"

"Thanks, Dumbledore. But I think I can make it clear." Dad went on, "Dumbledore gave it to Potter in his will, but swords can't be given around like gifts. Go, so—" He sneered, "Dumbledore asked me to try to get it to Potter."

I didn't understand this passage at all: "So...why did Dumbledore leave Potter with the sword of Gryffindor? If it was just to prove his mettle...we've seen clearly over the past few years How heroic Potter is."

"I don't know why, dear Headmaster Dumbledore won't tell me why."

The portrait on the wall spoke again: "Shh! Severus, I explained to you that you don't need to know all the secrets in this world—"

"Principal Dumbledore," I couldn't help but start, staring into the blue eyes in the frame, "I'm sorry..."

"No, I should apologize, dear Violet. I accidentally let you play an ignominious role in an old man's last game of chess," said Dumbledore, "but your soul was not killed for it." Defilement...you'll understand when you understand the context of the matter."

"I will kill someone one day, principal." I whispered.

"Ah... killing people is not terrible, the key is who you want to kill—"

"I'm sorry, Dumbledore, but I didn't call my daughter here at night so you two could have a chat." Dad interrupted Dumbledore roughly, and he turned to me Said, "I want you to find a way to spread the news, so that the group of Gryffindor students who are close to Potter know that the sword is in my hand."

I suddenly guessed his purpose: "They will try to steal the sword, and they will fail. Then the Carlos will want to punish them, then—"

"Then you have a chance to get close to them," Dad warned, "but don't reveal yourself too soon."

I nodded.

"You have to watch out for everyone—"

"Especially the Dark Lord." Dumbledore said again suddenly, "You must be careful of the Dark Lord."

A few nights later, Pansy showed up at the dinner table with a magazine.

"You're late..."

"Look at this." She slapped the impurities on the table.It was a copy of The Quibbler, with a big title reading: Harry Potter - The Wronged Savior

Brace had already grabbed the magazine and glanced at the first page as quickly as possible: "Very well, this magazine publishes all the things that the Daily Prophet dare not write. For example, Potter didn't kill Dumbledore. Lido's murderer, the Muggle-Birth Register are pure Death Eater murder weapons..."

"Its editor must be crazy," Pansy said in a low voice. "He's going to be hunted down by Death Eaters!"

"The Quibbler was edited by Lovegood's father at Ravenclaw," I said. "It's been interviewed by Potter before."

"Where did you get this?" Draco asked.

Pansy nodded his chin towards the group of people at the end of the Slytherin table: "It's all rumored to be crazy."

"Should we remind that Lovegood?" Blaise had already flipped through the entire magazine, "This magazine alone can make her whole family a wanted warrant."

"No." I personally like Luna quite a bit, but now I have to remain cold-blooded, and I said the reason under the slightly surprised eyes of the three of them, "Don't forget that we should be on the side with the Death Eaters. "

They immediately understood what I meant, and Pansy slumped on the chair: "Indeed...we can't show a little mercy."

I put down my knife and fork without appetite: "Not only do we not show mercy, we should also be as ruthless as possible. Because we have to convince everyone that we stand, especially those enemies who are waiting to trouble us .”

"The Dark Lord is going to turn Malfoy Manor into his prison." Draco said abruptly, "He asked my father to expand the dungeon and remove the floo network. Anyone who wants to enter and exit Malfoy Manor can only go through the main entrance."

"You didn't tell me before!" I glared at him.

"I thought he was trying to lock the nugget wizard into a dungeon, but now I find out that's not the case." Draco clicked on the report, "He wants to lock the family and friends of those who resist him in his eyes." The dungeon under him, and through them to control those who resist him. As for the witches-" he sighed a long time, "I thought they would be thrown into Azkaban, but I'm afraid the only thing waiting for them now is Death Curse."

"Then Azkaban..."

"The Dark Lord may have learned his lesson and realized that Azkaban is not an impregnable wall. Many people have escaped from there... Therefore, he may not use Azkaban again." Draco pushed the plate in front of him , "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Useful people are imprisoned, useless people die." Pansy said in the silence, "I thought the Dark Lord would at least care about the wizard's life!"

"Mumbuds don't look like wizards to him," Blaise reminded.

The author has something to say:

happy reading~

Tip: Dumbledore's last sentence means that the owner of the Elder Wand is now the Mistress (she surrendered Old Deng's wand), and the Dark Lord will come to kill her after he recovers.But because the original Rysnape didn't know about the Deathly Hallows (probably) so here still sticks to the setting that he doesn't know anything about it.
