[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Voldemort sat in an armchair, clutching his wand in his right hand and resting his chin in the other.Voldemort, acting in this way, looked more like the owner of the manor than Lucius.

Despite his terrifying appearance, his movements do appear to be very graceful.He seemed to be very friendly in greeting, but being stared at by his blood-red eyes, everyone still had a cool feeling of being stared at by reptiles from their heels.This person makes people feel so kind, but at the same time makes people feel so terrible.

"Master." Lucius had a smug smile on his face as he led Jody and Snape into the living room.He approached Voldemort, fell to one knee at his master's feet, bent down to kiss Voldemort's robes, and his long light blond hair fell to the floor as he moved.Then he stood up and, with Voldemort's permission, sat down in the other armchair to Voldemort's left.Seeing him doing it so easily and naturally, it's obviously not the first time he's done it.

Jody and Snape looked at the scene in front of them helplessly.Although they had witnessed Bella's admiration for Voldemort before, the scene now had a greater impact on the two young men: the heir of the Malfoy family, kissing Voldemort's robe corner in his manor, admitted The Dark Lord as his master.Seeing such a situation directly is undoubtedly more shocking than the scene that two first-year wizards secretly saw.

Jody and Snape's sluggish reaction pleased Voldemort very well. He pointed to the sofa beside him with his wand in a kind and graceful manner, "Don't be nervous, please sit down, we shouldn't let guests stand there , right, Lucius? After all, they are my guests?"

"Of course, my lord." Lucius gave Jody and Snape a comforting and encouraging smile, and motioned them to sit down on the loveseat on the right hand side of the Dark Lord.In fact, he was very aware of the psychological impact his actions would have on Jody and Snape who were accustomed to his arrogant appearance, but he still did it.He felt that based on the... friendship between them, it was still necessary for him to make them realize the reality more clearly.

But it seems that Lucius' plan is not so ideal.Just like the feelings of most adult wizards, Jody and Snape, who have not yet graduated, seem to have accepted Lucius's kneeling to Voldemort quite naturally.The king in the dark seems to deserve such a courtesy.

"Your Excellency the Dark Lord, it is an honor to meet you." Seeing Voldemort again, Snape's face flashed with tension and excitement, he tried his best not to look too urgent, but his lips trembled slightly , or betrayed his mood.

Now, he really felt that the terrifying-looking man in front of him had clearly shown what he longed for—a power that was powerful enough to be frightening, making others willing to bow to him.In the end, he can have everything he wants.

"It's a great honor to receive your invitation." Since the appearance of Lucius, Jody's expression has been relatively more indifferent and arrogant than usual.If she hadn't held herself back for a split second when she stared at Voldemort from an overly exaggerated expression of admiration and admiration, she certainly seemed less overtly agitated than Snape was. "No, it's even more honorable that you still remember us."

Now that she was in a difficult situation, she forgot the uneasiness when she first learned that she was going to meet Voldemort, and completely entered the "script" she had prepared for herself.

"Oh, oh, of course I won't forget." Voldemort smiled. "Two Slytherins with great potential, that was... a special harvest when I returned to Hogwarts last time."

Remembering that he was actually eavesdropping on the conversation between Voldemort and Bella, Snape suddenly said nervously, "I...I'm sorry about what happened that day."

"Don't take it to heart." Voldemort waved his hand without hesitation, "I also want to apologize to you, I was not in a good mood at that time, and at Hogwarts, I had to be more careful. I hope you can Forgive me at the time... for not being able to do it."

Undoubtedly, with Voldemort's status today, he can still apologize to the two underage wizards so naturally, which is indeed very good to win the favor of others.At least Jody and Snape had expressions of surprise and disbelief on their faces.

Only Lucius lowered his gaze silently.Although the corners of his mouth were still upturned, the hands hidden in the robe had already pinched a few crescent-shaped scars on the palms—was it a last resort?

As far as the Dark Lord is concerned, I'm afraid he can use this statement to explain many things he has done?Or maybe he buried the truth so despicably that he didn't even bother to explain it?He was very glad that Voldemort's attention was all on Jody and Snape in front of him, otherwise as long as he saw Voldemort's expression, he would definitely be unable to control himself at this moment and still be able to conceal the pain and hatred that was constantly burning his soul.

"Besides, I think this is a kind of predestined guidance." Voldemort did not notice the almost undetectable abnormal behavior of the young Malfoy beside him.He said in a tone of elders encouraging younger generations: "Although we didn't get along well that night, you are sitting in front of me now. In fact, I was very surprised at that time. Because Slytherin got two A seedling with great potential. Facts have proved that although I failed to be a professor at Hogwarts, there is nothing wrong with my eyesight. What makes me even more gratified is that you have made a wise choice and even eagerly expected I hope to contribute to me, instead of blindly throwing myself into shallow so-called love and sympathy, and seeking some people's... merciful asylum."

When Voldemort said this, he paused for a moment, his gaze seemed to inadvertently linger on Snape's face for a while, and he shrugged gracefully.

"Those feelings are just a game for the weak, not suitable for Slytherins. But I regret that because of my great views on power, I was treated as a cold-blooded lunatic by some self-proclaimed great wizards."

"I still remember you saying, 'Greatness breeds envy, envy breeds malice, and malice breeds lies.'" Snape sternly repeated what Voldemort had said at the time. "I think those comments only prove that's the case."

"Severus, may I call you that?" Voldemort gave Snape an appreciative look. "You are indeed a bright boy, very intelligent. I heard that you are very good at making potions?"

"Yes. I...I need to sell some potions..." On this occasion, Snape seemed a little embarrassed to mention that he needed to sell potions to support himself.Then, his eyes widened in surprise——

Those golden liquids that he personally filled in the simplest potion bottles were lying in Voldemort's pale palms, looking so dazzling.

"Felix Felicia—Professor Slughorn's specialty potion, yet a fifth-year student can make it so successfully. Amazing talent..." Voldemort turned to Jody again, "As for Miss Potter, I'm perhaps more surprised by your choice than Severus."

In fact, Voldemort didn't look surprised or surprised at all, but instead showed a smile with ease.

"Ah, yes, but I guess there's always someone in the family who has more vision, especially the younger ones. The younger ones have to make a change, not follow tradition - especially when I was in Sorting. Next." Jody seemed a little nervous, but his expression still maintained that kind of arrogance. "In fact, many people think that I am crazy, or have been fascinated by the evil black magic. They even want to drive me out of Hogwarts, but because Dumbledore has always trusted me, so I I was able to stay because he felt that I still have love in my heart. I am afraid that our great principal will never give up any student who has a chance to find his way back...Of course, with the surname Potter and the status behind it, What reason do I have to give up, why not love it?"

"Of course, of course, Slytherins will not refuse any form of power..." Voldemort looked at Jody meaningfully, "I admire you, Miss Potter, I have heard about you, you have always been very Brains. Maybe, more brains than I've been told."

"Oh, if possible, I hope you can call me by my name..." Jody lowered his eyes slightly, hiding his shyness. "It would be my honor. I also wish I could address you in a simpler way, Lord Dark Lord."

"Of course, so do I," Snape added eagerly.

"Ah, Jody, Severus, I understand your feelings very well. Although I think the Ministry of Magic's measures to prevent minors from using magic are tricks, but well, there are some rules we have to abide by... yes , I will look forward to when you are adults—by that time," Voldemort took Snape's left arm with one hand, and with the other hand, he used the tip of his wand to gently remove the robe on Snape's arm to the elbow, A pale arm was exposed.He poked the spot with his wand, and a small depression was poked out of the skin there: "I will be here, giving you a mark of supreme honor."

Snape was breathing heavily. "In this way, we can follow you in pursuit of greater power, higher status, until..."

"Yes, you will become my friends and students, and we will become a new family. Together, we will pursue greater power, achieve greater benefits, and finally...fly away from death." Voldemort's voice was very kind, very Gentle, but also with a hypnotic charm. "That's what we are after, the true meaning of the name of Death Eaters. Even if we walk on many bones, in the end, we stand above everyone. That will be something that will be remembered forever by history, isn't it ?"

Voldemort looked proudly at the two young wizards in front of him, who showed fascinated expressions about the future under his description.Now, he has enough self-confidence that he will never fail again when seducing others.Snake language is his instinct, and temptation is the talent of snakes. He has no reason to fail.

——No one can refuse the temptation of Voldemort.

However, after Jody and Snape left, the relaxed smile on Voldemort's face suddenly disappeared. "Lucius, you need to explain to me. Why did you not know about Slughorn's disappearance? I remember you promised me that I would see my... demon this summer. Medicine Master?"

"I...I'm sorry, Master." Lucius knelt at Voldemort's feet. "So, so I brought Miss Potter and Mr. Snape..."

"I admit that I am satisfied with today's meeting, Lucius." Voldemort's wand took a strand of Lucius's long hair that had slipped to his forehead, lifted it, and moved down from his forehead, past Lucius. Si's cheek, down to his jaw, where it ends at his Adam's apple. "But don't try to deceive Voldemort... We all understand why you are so desperate to bring them to me. Besides, you intend to make your master do what you should have done, let me judge for you Are they eligible to be among the Death Eaters?"

After this action, Voldemort's blood-red eyes were satisfied to see the young Malfoy in front of him showing a nervous, fearful and horrified expression.

"No, master, no," Lucius argued dryly, "Of course I think they are qualified, whether it's ability or admiration and fascination for you... But of course, of course, the final decision is in your hands Isn't it?"

"Lucius, you are very smart, very smart. Although I don't think those two little guys who haven't graduated can replace Slughorn, but... if it is a potion genius and the Potter family ...That is really enough to make up for your mistakes, isn't it?" Voldemort moved his wand away, and said in an appreciative tone: "Voldemort will not treat those who provide help badly, and the loyalty of the Malfoy family will be rewarded as it should be..."

"Thank you, Master." Lucius said calmly, and sincerely kissed Voldemort's robe foot again. "It will be Malfoy... the greatest honor."
