How to break into a ring

Lestrange's body was brought back to Malfoy Manor by Bella, and Draco Malfoy spent the remaining days of his summer vacation trying to hold back the mad screams of his blood-related aunt.

Bellatrix Black, whom Draco had seen in the photos before, had black straight long hair and pale skin that was almost transparent. She was a proud noble girl, and she was the most beautiful among the three sisters.

As for now——Draco stood silently in the shadow of the corridor on the second floor, looking at the woman in the hall who suddenly cursed and screamed nervously, with scorched skin, disheveled hair, and out-of-focus eyes... After all, she was Locked in Azkaban for more than ten years.Those wizards who were sentenced to several months in prison by the Wizengamot court all died of being unable to support themselves. In the eyes of wizards, even being locked up there for a week is a nightmare that cannot be forgotten in a lifetime.

"Merlin knows your stupidity, you didn't get away... I just didn't know what to say to the Lord yesterday about your death? Faithful Bellatrix married a fool? We don't have children yet, he can't be all alone I was born to see the glorious era of pure-blood wizards! I can't be loyal to the Lord, these don't exist anymore!"

Even the Death Eaters walked around the hall, and no one wanted to bother Bella, who was swearing and muttering.

There is no doubt that she is sad, but this sadness is also distorted by her madness. From what she said, even death can't stop her from insisting on pure blood ruling the wizarding world.

Draco felt a warmth on his shoulders, a familiar breath close to him, and then he heard Narcissa's voice trembling, "She wasn't like this before, Draco...promise me, don't listen to anything she has to say."

Because Bella would not hesitate to give up her life for the Dark Lord, let alone anyone else.

Draco who was watching downstairs suddenly turned his head and whispered to his mother: "I don't want to be like her, will she still be sober?"

"I'm afraid...that can't happen." Narcissa endured her grief. Her husband was still in Azkaban. In her opinion, her elder sister Bella had become strange and terrifying. She had no doubt that after the war began, She might have to attend the funerals of these two people who were closest to her. No, even she herself didn't know if she would survive the war. The Dark Lord gave Draco such a cruel task again.

"Listen to me, Draco, if it can't be done—" Narcissa paused again. She had gone to Spider's End to find Snape more than a month ago, and she could only hope that Lucius' friend would be there in the last resort. It was time to take care of Draco, but Bella, who insisted on going with her, added the words "If Draco can't complete his task, are you willing to do it for him" at the end of the Unbreakable Vow.

What this meant, Narcissa knew very well, now that her arms were trembling, she couldn't say the words to make Draco go to Snape, but at the same time she was reluctant to give up this last aid in desperation.

"It's okay, Mom, everything will be fine." Draco could only say this, he tried his best not to show fear and confusion, tried his best not to think about Voldemort's order, and to think about the problem from another angle, "If I complete the order, will my father be able to come back from Azkaban?"

Narcissa didn't know whether to nod to comfort her son, or shake her head to avoid putting more pressure on Draco.

But her hesitant expression said everything, and Draco's eyes became more gloomy. He lowered his head and said, "I see. I want to go back to the room to repair the disappearing cabinet."

As usual, they said good night to each other following the etiquette of noble families, and then left with complicated emotions.

Voldemort was not in the Malfoy Manor. The house-elf of the Malfoy family had been pressed by Bella, and tremblingly said that since this morning, the master bedroom on the third floor was empty, not even the big snake was gone.

Voldemort often handles some things alone. He has such a habit. For example, he went to Godric's Hollow to kill the Potters more than ten years ago. There are many things he doesn't want the Death Eaters to know. The subordinates said hello, and no one, including Bella, dared to ask where Voldemort was going.

Voldemort was in a worse mood than Bella. He stood in front of the old house of the Gaunt family, silently looking at the broken roof.The floor below was empty, and the ring was gone.

Even though he'd felt it before, seen it with his own eyes, the anger was still overflowing with anger.

Before arriving at Little Hangleton, he had apparated to the cliff by the sea, and the corpse in the cave was still sleeping, but there were indeed obvious traces of entering it, and he poured all the potions into a man he brought along with him. After the Malfoy house-elf, Voldemort angrily grabbed the locket.

A fake, a ridiculous imitation.

The lid of the box was opened, and a note floated out of it.

"To the Dark Lord: I may be dead by the time you read this, but I want you to know that I discovered your secret. I have stolen the real soul shard and intend to destroy it as soon as possible..."

At that moment, Voldemort threw the house-elf who was still struggling and moaning into the pool in a rage, allowing it to be torn apart by countless Yin corpses, and the fake locket was also smashed into a pile of pieces by the curse in his anger.

Why would anyone know the secret of the Horcrux?

Because there were too many divided souls, the memory seemed very chaotic. Voldemort endured his fury and rummaged carefully. He only confirmed that he had asked his then-professor Slughorn before making the Horcrux for the first time.Even if the matter of the Horcrux was leaked, how did that daring thief find this place?

Voldemort soon figured out that he would borrow the Black house-elf for a place to hide the Slytherin locket.

How can it be?The Black family was even more loyal to him than Malfoy. Even if they guessed that this place was strange, they would not dare to step in easily, and it was impossible for the house elves to tell wizards outside the family they served.

Voldemort unfolded the note with the Restoring Charm, and glanced quickly at the inscription.

RAB - Bella's youngest cousin, Regulus Black?That black-haired young man with almost no sense of presence!

Voldemort laughed angrily. The eternally pure Black, a Slytherin aristocratic family actually raised two sons of different breeds. Sirius was directly assigned to Gryffindor by the Sorting Hat. The youngest son dared to fight against the Dark Lord!

Regulus was indeed dead, and he had the Dark Mark on his arm, a bond that could only be terminated with death.

Even if the Horcrux was stolen, it would not be so easy to destroy the locket. Voldemort reconfirmed that the locket was in a dark place. Although he didn't know where it was, it was indeed well preserved, and rushed to the little man. Girton.

Dried dead snakes nailed to broken door panels, almost collapsed shacks.

The existence of the Gaunt family is simply a disgrace to Slytherin...

Voldemort's mood worsened after the broken house detected the traces of the spell with his wand. He speculated that the ring might have been taken by Dumbledore. He was not surprised that the White Wizard could find this place. The blue eyes behind the glasses can always see through sharply that it is Tom Riddle's disguise.

After angrily destroying the broken house with a spell, Voldemort began to think about the location of the gold cup.

Getting closer to that Horcrux was harder than entering Hogwarts to examine the Ravenclaw diadem, since the chalice is now a dragon's treasure.

The Dark Lord, who had summoned Snape urgently before going out, felt a strong sense of foreboding.

He used Dementor to see Fay's appearance from the memory of the Death Eaters, and knew that it was the person who spoke to the dragon.No matter who he is, he has done one of the most shocking things in the wizarding world-robbed Gringotts, and abducted the dragon that the goblin used to guard the underground vault.

Perhaps it was a wizard fluent in the language of magical creatures.

The black cat should have been the problem - Voldemort cast a quick glance at the boa constrictor as it rubbed against his feet, but Nagini was already his Horcrux and he wouldn't let Nagini take any risks now.

[To find that strange cat!It must have a secret. 】

The Dark Lord suppressed his anger and hissed to himself.

Nagini looked up at him in bewilderment, and the next second, it was Disapparated along with it.

The boa constrictor didn't like this way of travel very much. It slid off Voldemort's body a little dizzy, and put its head on the grass. It took a long time to recover from the hissing snake language, and soon it followed its own The owner asked the snakes nearby what happened today.

This is a path outside Hogsmeade, and it is always easy to find snakes in the grass in summer.

Voldemort was then told by the snakes about the communal hearth explosion, about the flaming black monster, and about Fay's living in the Shrieking Shack.

【He threw the cat into the fireplace... hiss, and not long after that, the monster crawled out】【…】

These snakes are not magical creatures. Their brains are relatively simple, and their descriptions of things are vague. Even if they ask, they can't get more useful things.

Voldemort, who has a deep understanding of the dark arts, frowned.

Need to throw a living creature into the flames?Is it a soul sacrifice?It is black magic that has been lost for many years. It has the same origin as alchemy. It is said that the earliest people were burned directly to create powerful magic items.

Dumbledore allowed such an evil wizard to continue wandering in Hogsmeade?

[Where is the Screaming Shack? 】

He had to see with his own eyes what was going on with that guy who looked strange, behaved strangely, and was full of mysteries! !

It was already late at night, and all the visitors in the Screaming Shack had left, and Fay was playing with the poor Boggart in the house that was cleaned and tidy, forcing it to turn into all kinds of things in front of him. shape.

And the Balrog sat in front of the fireplace to watch the fun, and the rock cake left by Hagrid was used as a footrest by him, which was just right in hardness, and was not scorched by the occasional sparks from Balrog's body.

The pressure of darkness frightened Boggart to desperately change, from the volcano to the Lord of the Rings, then Manwe, the ruler of the west, and Tokas, the god of war who often beat Melkor black and blue, and Oromy, who hunted down the dark race... Wait until everyone After all of Vera's clothes were displayed, Boggart began to show Thranduil, the elf king of the Great Green Forest, Elrond of Rivendell, and even the hobbit came out for a walk.

In fact, what Melkor is really afraid of is Iluvita, but Boggart can't conjure it, just like it can only conjure the image of the clothes worn by Manwe, not the swirling nature of the gods.

Fay was feeling amused when the Boggart suddenly turned into an enormous spider with a bang.

It almost filled the whole room, its whole body was pitch black, its limbs were all black and red in horror, its eyes flickered, and it opened its huge mouth.

Fay felt himself take a step back involuntarily, and the sudden fear made him hold his right hand tightly.

"Give it to me!" the big spider actually spoke, with an evil and greedy voice, "I know you have something in your right hand, give it to me, you promised to make me no longer hungry—"

Before Fay could react, he saw a black shadow flash in front of him, and the Balrog pulled out the half-meter-long flame whip from the fireplace, and slammed it on the big spider.

Fay didn't have time to stop it, and watched helplessly as the big spider smashed through the wall.

The sad Boggart uttered a scream and disappeared completely. No matter how small the Balrog's whip was, it was Arda's most terrifying weapon.

But at the end of the hole, Voldemort, whose disillusionment curse was broken by the magic power of the flame whip, was looking at the screaming shack in horror.

Fay looked blankly at the Balrog, then at the snake-faced man who suddenly appeared: "I'm not afraid of Voldemort, how did I become like this?"

Could it be that Boggart was spoiled by him?

The author has something to say: Notes from the spider:

This big spider is a Valar, and Melkor coaxed it to go to Aman Island with him. Taking advantage of the gathering of the gods, Melkor killed the highest elf king of the Noldor and took away the Silmaril and other treasures. The Silmaril was burned. Melkor's hand.The spider directly devoured the Two Sacred Trees.

Then they ran away quickly, and the spoils were not evenly distributed on the way (...) In fact, the spider has an insatiable stomach. After eating the Double Sacred Tree, it greatly increased its strength. Melkor found that he could not defeat it, and was threatened by the spider. After handing over the other treasures, the spider ate it and ignored it, staring at the Silmarillion in Melkor's right hand, but Melkul insisted not to give it.The spider spit out a terrifying dark net (it is estimated that if you don't give it, I will eat it with you), the unlucky Melkor screamed, and the loyal Balrogs arrived, and the spider screamed with whips. Worse than Melkor ran away ==
