mystery lover

A week passed quickly, and with the help of Nicole's fourth-grade notes, the pressure on Charles in the classes of Charms, Potions, and Defense Against the Dark Arts was reduced a lot. On Friday afternoon, he decided to go home After asking for two days' leave with the head of Hufflepuff on the pretext, the boy came to Diagon Alley with his white owl from the fireplace with only some portable items.

The specific location of Tom's house was not found. Although Charles had already known the guy's address by heart, but after asking some people, the boy found out that the address was probably in a town in the north of England. In the end, Charles decided to use the Floo network to go to the town closest to Tom, and then try to find the man.

It would be the best if you can meet someone who knows Tom. If it doesn't work, let Michelle lead the way.

Although he already had some doubts about Tom living so far away, Charles finally stopped when Michelle led himself to the edge of a forest.

Looking at the forest in front of him, the young man was a little dumbfounded.

Tom...is this solitary?

Although wizards can go to another place through Apparition and Floo Network, but living in an unknown forest that looks scary, this kind of hobby is really... It has been associated with the fact that Tom built a small forest in the forest. The boy in the wooden house didn't think that the other party might be some hidden family or the descendant of an older pure-blood noble.

The boy who always regarded Tom as an ordinary half-blood wizard naturally ignored the defensive measures in the manors of the nobles, especially the perverted Dark Lord like Voldemort who directly regarded the magical creatures in the entire forest as natural guards. .

Speaking of which, when Charles entered the forest, the great Lord Voldemort was sitting leisurely at the head of the long table in his manor, listening to the routine reports of the servants below. Jie Shi slightly raised his brows, thinking that his pets had fresh rations again.

Red eyes glanced at the young servant Dixon McAvoy who was the third pick on the left, a powerful fighter under him, and the opponent became more respectful when he noticed his gaze.

"Dixon..." Voldemort's voice was very pleasant, especially when he deliberately softened it. The gentle aria with a man's clear and magnetic voice could easily make people get lost in his voice.

Of course, if such a voice appeared on a cold-blooded and cruel superior, it would only make his servants even more terrified.

"Master, please tell me." Dixon lowered his eyes, lowering his posture to be more respectful. Although the Lord's sight a second ago made him feel the fear of being targeted by a cheetah, he didn't seem to think about it carefully. Nothing went wrong in action, except for... talking to Char at the Ministry of Magic.

"Charles' birthday is coming up."

Voldemort said casually, ignoring the servants who lost their composure because of his words, with a casual look, it seemed that it was really just a casual question.

Including Dixon, all the Death Eaters were stunned for half a second because of their master's words. Of course, no one would think that the Lord was really as casual as he said in his words. Everyone knew that their master never Say one more useless word.The second son of the McAvoy family... This is the first time the master has officially mentioned this favored boy.On this occasion, Voldemort's words were not only an acknowledgment to the boy, but also a warning to them.

No matter how the hearts of other Death Eaters have gone through a journey of thousands of turns, Dixon at the long table calmly answered his master's question, "Yes, master, Char's birthday is next month 28."

"Very well, I believe the McAvoy family can hold a birthday party well?"

Dixon thought for a moment that he was hallucinating, but felt that it should be so, and replied with a slightly stiff voice, "Yes, master, please rest assured, my father and I will prepare this birthday party for Charle .”

Voldemort nodded, his gaze swept over everyone present, the warning in it was self-evident.

If it was before, no matter how exaggerated the rumors are, Lord did not say anything, although everyone knows that since the Daily Prophet can post a photo of Lord and that boy, it means that their master has acquiesced to some the existence of something.

But if the Lord himself acknowledged the boy's status, then everything would be different.

Not only ordinary pure-blood families, even the ancient nobles had to start thinking about how to make friends with the McAvoy family.In fact, as early as the last time he witnessed the Lord's treatment of Charles differently, the Malfoy family had already begun to offer an olive branch to the McAvoy family, and Dixon McAvoy himself was also a member of the core Death Eaters. One member, it is obvious that there is a relationship of interests involved.

The question now is just... how much their master can pamper that boy.

"Lord," Lucius looked at the powerful wizard on the main seat, and wanted to continue reporting on another matter, but saw their master's face change drastically, which made Patriarch Malfoy cut off the connection in fright. When he got down, he heard the sound of apparition, which was particularly crisp in the hall where everyone dared not come out.

A roomful of Death Eaters were left looking at each other.

*****

Just when the giant spider pounced on him again, Charles had a moment of despair thinking whether he would die on the way to find that bastard man, with multiple injuries on his body, and his wand was knocked aside Under the branch of the tree, his body tried to avoid the spider's attack, but the toxin had already spread in the boy's body, and Charles felt his movements became more and more stiff.

tom...

He tried his best to roll to the side, but still felt a huge shadow on his back.

Do not……

Charles reached for his wand under the tangle of branches.

"what--"

Physiological tears fell from the corners of the young man's eyes. The severe pain made his vision more and more blurred. The young man, who had completely lost the power to resist, lay powerlessly on the ground. In a trance, he seemed to see the figure of a man.

tom...

When Voldemort appeared, he saw this scene that made his eyes tear apart. The demon king in a rage instantly turned the spider on the young man's back into annihilation. Afterwards, the demon king's footsteps were a little unsteady and he was already unconscious due to the pain. He passed by the boy, the right hand holding the wand was still shaking.

"Char...?"

The man carefully picked up the boy, not daring to disapparate the seriously injured boy, but carried Charles back to Voldemort's manor with a steady flying technique.

"Let Sewin come up!"

After roaring these words, Voldemort carried Charles into his room.

The wizard who was named also hurriedly followed his master to the second floor of the manor. Sewin was the best doctor among the Death Eaters and had been serving Death Eaters in Voldemort's manor.

"Dixon...that's...your brother?" Lucius asked slowly, looking at the uncomfortably complexioned wizard.

"Yes." After Dixon finished speaking, he looked towards the second floor of the manor, with worry hidden in his eyes.Char...why is he hurt?

Except for Dixon, the other Death Eaters were secretly making their own plans. This was the first time they saw such a manic master, but it was only because the boy was injured.
