Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin

Chapter 335 329. I hope you will still be Senior Tom’s most loyal subordinate

"I'm Lucius."

Lucius's unique low voice came from the phone, and his tone revealed a bit of fatigue.

"Do you have time? I need to see you urgently."

His breathing was a little rapid and he sounded slightly anxious. It seemed that this senior official of the Ministry of Magic was desperate, otherwise he would not have come to him.

"Give you a minute, Mr. Lucius. I will appear at the gate of Malfoy Manor in one minute."

The other end of the phone quickly agreed.

A minute passed quickly, and Dudley disappeared on time. When he reappeared, he was already at the entrance of Malfoy Manor.

The magic of Apparition is really useful. If you can get rid of the dizziness after using it, you can go wherever you want. The only pity is that there is a certain distance limit. As the distance of Apparition increases, it will become more and more difficult. And you can only go to the places you have been, unless you choose the extremely dangerous random teleportation. In theory, you can teleport to the moon, but there is a high probability that it will be teleported in the form of one or more parts of the body.

Lucius, wearing a unique aristocratic costume, stood at the door and greeted Dudley respectfully. At this time, his face was very ugly, his gray eyes were bloodshot and he looked haggard. His already pale and pointed face looked even more ugly at this time. pale.

Lucius brought Dudley into the manor very respectfully.

As the gate of the manor slowly closed, Dudley felt a slight change in the air around him. It was magic. It seemed that Malfoy Manor had cast some kind of protective magic. Dudley couldn't tell what it was, and he didn't ask in detail.

Malfoy Manor was particularly deserted today, the roads were empty, and even the white peacock next to the fountain was gone.

"Where's Draco?"

"Went to visit the Greengrass house with his mother early in the morning."

Greengrass, Draco's dance partner Astoria, the girl with dimples in her smile were members of this family, and were one of the few pure-blood families that did not fall to Voldemort and were in a neutral position.

"Lucius, there are some things you can ask Draco to share with you. Don't underestimate him, maybe he knows more than you and gives you a surprise."

Dudley suggested, seeming to have something else in mind.

"Mr. Dursley, Draco is still a child."

It's a pity that Lucius didn't hear the tone and obviously didn't adopt it.

"He's the same age as me."

"."

Chatting one after another, they entered the hall of the mansion.

There were two exquisite meals that had been prepared, and they were obviously ready to chat while eating.

Although Lucius was anxious, he still did not forget the etiquette and did not say a word when he just started eating.

The overall taste of Malfoy's food is pretty good.

After all, the price was there, and Malfoy wouldn't eat food of inferior quality.

Lucius was definitely not thinking about eating. He didn't use the knife at all. He just took a few symbolic bites. The stewed, juicy and melt-in-the-mouth red wine beef was like chewing wax in his mouth.

Seeing that Lucius didn't have much appetite, Dudley unceremoniously put the entire pot of beef stew on his side. He was really hungry.

Lucius finally spoke after hesitating for a while.

"That one is back. He sent someone to find me."

"I know."

It was simply expected that Voldemort would arrange for someone to find Lucius.

Who is Lucius?

A veteran among the Death Eaters and a strong contender for the most loyal subordinates, Voldemort even gave him his Horcruxes for safekeeping. With so many Death Eaters, he only gave the Horcrux to two of his subordinates for safekeeping. One was Bellatrix, who was suspected of being his mistress, and the other was Lucius.

Not even Barty Jr. considered himself his son.

Compared with Lucius, Karkaroff, who is also a senior member of the Death Eaters, looks like a loser.

In the original book, many of the Death Eaters who survived the death betrayed their companions, but only Karkaroff was killed because of this incident.

"I thought about it for several nights. I. I didn't want to go there."

Lucius seemed to be very determined when he said this.

Hearing these words, Dudley paused briefly while eating: "Mr. Lucius, do you want to openly betray him?"

"Not just me, Karkaroff didn't go either, and he doesn't plan to go either."

"You are not Karkaroff. You are completely different from him. Senior Tom can live without Karkaroff, because someone can replace him at any time, and he can replace him at any time. But he cannot live without Malfoy. Malfoy But his important pocketbook."

Karkaroff is a dark wizard with good skills, but he is only good. There are many wizards with similar abilities to him, and the curse of his three-legged cat cannot get into Voldemort's eyes.

The reason why Lucius had won Voldemort's trust before was because he was from the pure-blood Malfoy family who claimed to be an ancient one and was very good at judging situations. The most important thing was that he was rich. Voldemort needed the financial resources of the Malfoy family. Otherwise, why would he be in that position? His level of black magic is not as good as Karkaroff's?

"If you dare to openly betray him, I believe Malfoy Manor will face disaster."

Although Dudley seemed to trick him around and even got rid of several of his Horcruxes, it was just because Voldemort didn't understand him.

To put it bluntly, James also played tricks on Voldemort back then, and then he died.

Dudley had never underestimated Voldemort.

Despise your opponents strategically and take your opponents tactically seriously.

This is Dudley's attitude towards Voldemort.

And just because he wasn't afraid of Voldemort didn't mean Malfoy wasn't afraid either.

"You will help me, right?"

"As long as you are willing to take action, the Malfoy family will be your most loyal servants."

There was pleading in Lucius's tone, he was begging Dudley for protection.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious, he wanted to completely switch to Dudley's side.

"Mr. Lucius, I didn't expect you to think so highly of me."

"I'm really flattered."

For Lucius to be able to say such things, it is conceivable that he no longer thinks highly of Voldemort.

Based on these words alone, even if Voldemort needs Malfoy again, he will give him a green light.

"Servant? No, no, no, Draco and I are friends, very good friends."

Dudley emphasized the word friend. Hearing this made Lucius slightly relieved. Although he did not express his position clearly, he was at least willing to take care of his only son.

that's enough.

"Don't you think he's a little too pitiful?"

Dudley wiped the corners of his mouth with the napkin on the side and said suddenly.

"?"

Lucius couldn't wrap his mind around it and didn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a moment.

"Mr. Lucius, I hope you will remain Senior Tom's most loyal subordinate."

"!!!"
