Hogwarts: This wizard wants to make progress too much

When I got to the living room, my parents were already sitting on the sofa.

After saying hello and eating breakfast, Ethan focused his attention on the gifts to the side.

With a wave of magic, these gifts floated directly into the air, automatically arranged according to their size.

This year's gifts were more than thirty more than last year, fortunately not exceeding three hundred.

Ethan was afraid that the number of gifts would increase by more than a hundred each year, until seventh grade, when there would be more than a thousand gifts, and it would take a day just to open them.

This year's gifts were no different from previous years, all pretty much the same things.

It's just that every year he receives so many sweets, Ethan doesn't know how to deal with them; he can't finish them all by himself in a short time, and ~ moreover, he doesn't dare to eat them at all.

Who knows if there are any potions added inside.

It's also not appropriate to throw them away.

This is why Ethan, every Christmas, after returning to Hogwarts, can only distribute these sweets to other young wizards.

After having lunch with his parents, Ethan prepared to go out.

First, he needed to go to Knockturn Alley to meet with Little Tom, who was followed by seven of Ethan's alchemical creatures.

After the last battle, these alchemical creatures gained a nickname, called Spectres.

This was based on their appearance; they never took off their gray-black robes, they could float in the sky, they were thin, and they exuded an aura of death, truly like ghosts at night.

This led many people to think they were related to Dementors when they first saw them.

"How is their progress in learning magical spells?"

Ethan asked Little Tom curiously when he arrived at the base.

Now they only knew the spells they knew in life. He had heard a few days ago that Little Tom was going to teach new spells, and he didn't know how effective it would be.

"Although they learn a little slowly, they can still learn. By this morning, the last one knew the Killing Curse."

Tom glanced at the Spectres behind him, and he was quite satisfied with them.

They learn slowly, but they can study twenty-four hours a day without sleeping, so they can always catch up.

Now that they all know the Killing Curse, this is a considerable improvement to their strength.

Some of them already knew the Killing Curse, so Little Tom taught them others, such as the Imperius Curse and the Cruciatus Curse. The three Unforgivable Curses were Tom's first choice to teach.

"That's good. It's almost time now, let's go to the Malfoy Manor together."

"Yes!"

Little Tom naturally did not dare to refuse.

Ethan opened a corner of Nibelungen and directly kicked the seven Spectres inside.

Afterwards, he put his hand on Little Tom's shoulder.

Let him take Ethan to Malfoy Manor.

Malfoy Manor is located in Wiltshire, England. This location is not a secret in the wizarding world. Pure-blood families basically know its exact location.

But Ethan knew the location but had never been there, and Apparition could not reach it.

When Little Tom was still a Horcrux, he spent decades at Malfoy Manor and still had some knowledge of the place, so he could directly use Apparition to get there.

Ethan only found out about this after asking last night.

By bringing the Spectres, Ethan was also using them as a facade. Everyone brings guards and followers when they go out, but Ethan had nothing, which was embarrassing.

Besides, who said that you have to spend money to get items at a black market auction?

There will definitely be no shortage of black-eat-black things, and Ethan can't help but get involved.

However, with a burst of spatial distortion, Ethan realized that Little Tom had brought him to the study.

Alright! This is indeed Malfoy Manor.

Opening Nibelungen, he released the seven Spectres, and then opened the study door to go find Lucius.

Originally, in the previous communication in the wizarding mail, they were supposed to be greeted at the door, but Little Tom directly took Ethan to the study, so naturally they didn't meet anyone.

Coming outside, after taking a few steps, Ethan encountered a middle-aged wizard with some baldness.

The other party drew his wand the moment he spotted Ethan, but his movements were still not as fast as Little Tom's. A red light easily disarmed his wand.

If Ethan hadn't come as a guest at this moment, Little Tom would have cast the green light.

"I am Ethan Adrien, invited by Mr. Malfoy as a guest. Apparition directly teleported me into the manor. Take me to find him."

Looking at the middle-aged man who was knocked to the ground by the Disarming Charm, Ethan said slowly.

This should be a role similar to a servant.

"Yes, please follow me!"

The middle-aged wizard grinned, stood up, and led the way.

He knew that Ethan was coming as a guest today, and since he had no power to fight back, there was no need to deceive himself.

It's just, could you be a little gentler? I almost flashed my waist.

With a servant leading the way, Ethan also observed Malfoy Manor, which was no worse than the Voray family!

Compared to his home in Godric's Hollow, he didn't know how much more luxurious it was.

Along the way, there were carefully designed garden paths, with various flowers blooming under the effect of magic.

In the middle was a fountain, with jets of water shining golden in the sunlight.

And on the lawn of the garden, a group of white peacocks were playing.

Hearing footsteps coming from behind, Lucius turned his head in confusion. Who would come to him at this time, don't they know the rules?

The words he was about to scold out were suddenly choked back.

How did Ethan come from his own home? And that young man next to him is, is...?

Thinking of this, Lucius's legs began to tremble.

Others might not know, but how could he not know?

Although he had never met him, his own father and Abraxas Malfoy were classmates with Voldemort, and even a few years older. When they graduated, Voldemort had already begun to emerge.

There was even a group photo of them, and the photo is now at home. He had seen it many times, and he would never forget that appearance.

Voldemort is resurrected?

And turned into his younger self?

And even joined forces with Ethan?

As for the seven strange-looking wizards following behind, Lucius simply ignored them.

But according to the information he received, these two should be enemies.

Moreover, after Voldemort's resurrection, why didn't he summon the Death Eaters and instead stay with Ethan? This is obviously not right.

Narcissa Malfoy, who was beside him, also noticed Lucius's strangeness.

She immediately turned her head, and then, like Lucius, trembled with fear. She also recognized Little Tom's appearance.

She knew some of the things her husband had done, which was equivalent to abandoning his identity as a Death Eater and betraying Voldemort.

Even if he could be forgiven, the punishment would be inevitable, and Voldemort's punishment was not easy to bear.

As Ethan walked in, he also noticed the abnormality of the couple, both looking terrified and sweating profusely.

Of course, Ethan knew the reason for this.

Little Tom was also recognized by several people in Knockturn Alley, but so what?

Would they dare to report it to the Ministry of Magic?

More than ten years ago, the Ministry of Magic was suppressed by Voldemort and couldn't raise its head. Those who could recognize Little Tom had all experienced that period.

Now everyone knows what the Ministry of Magic is like under Fudge's leadership, and Dumbledore is also getting older and older. Facing the newly returned Voldemort, who is still a young version.

Dare to say too much?

Unless they don't want to live anymore.

If they don't want to live anymore, or if they really have such a strong sense of justice, they wouldn't be hanging around in Knockturn Alley.

This also allowed Little Tom to be exposed for so long. Those who recognized him could only bury this secret in their hearts, and could only advise their family members not to provoke him, and dared not say a word more.

Fearing that Voldemort would find out and come to retaliate.

This also led to Lucius not knowing any information about Little Tom at all, only knowing that the person in charge of the Wizengamot was a young wizard with great strength.

Now suddenly seeing this face, it would be strange if he wasn't afraid.

"Mr. Malfoy, long time no see!"

Ethan took the initiative to say hello, after all, seeing Lucius like this, he probably didn't know what to say.

"Long time no see, who is this?"

Lucius could only pretend not to recognize him, after all, he really didn't recognize this version of Voldemort.

But seeing Voldemort acting like a follower, he couldn't figure out the relationship between the two.

"Just call him Tom, and if there's anything else, let's go inside and talk!"

"Yes, yes, please follow me."

Lucius smiled obsequiously, already a little flustered at this moment.

Lucius also knew the name Tom, wasn't that Voldemort's real name?

His own father said that Voldemort was called Tom Riddle when he was at Hogwarts.

Now the appearance is different, and the name is also right, absolutely no mistake.

Draco, who was following in front of his parents, looked at them with a puzzled expression, wondering what was wrong with these two, who seemed to be even more afraid of Ethan than he was.

All the way to the banquet hall, Ethan finally knew why Voldemort would choose Malfoy Manor as the headquarters of the Death Eaters.

He hadn't noticed it before when he came out of another road, but now he knew.

While the area is large enough, the decoration is really gorgeous.

Everywhere is luxurious wooden furniture, and the decorations are all golden, like the Ministry of Magic. He didn't know if they were gilded or pure gold, but in short, they highlighted a sense of extravagance.

After arriving at the banquet hall, Lucius directly drove his son out. Originally, if only Ethan had come, there would be no problem with Draco being by his side, or rather, it would be more appropriate.

But now that there was a suspected Voldemort, Lucius didn't want Draco to get involved.

Chapter 187: The Three-No-Go Zone of the Wizarding World

"Mr. Malfoy, I believe you also want to know his identity, in fact, he is also related to you."

"Related to me?"

Lucius was a little puzzled.

He is a Death Eater and is related to Voldemort, which is taken for granted.

But other than that, there shouldn't be any relationship.

Ethan was obviously not talking about his identity as a Death Eater.

Then, apart from this, Lucius really didn't know where else he was related to Voldemort.

"Let me tell you!"

Little Tom didn't have a good impression of Lucius. Although the main soul entrusted him to Lucius for safekeeping.

But if he had given himself a little chance, he wouldn't have been silent for so many years, and then encountered Ethan, this demon, he might have been reborn long ago.

"Remember that diary?"

"Which I personally gave to you, but you were particularly wary of it, and finally you discarded it on the Weasley family's brat."

Tom's face showed a bright smile as he looked at Lucius.

And the cold sweat that Lucius had finally stopped, reappeared again.
