[Comprehensive British and American] Fulian Hotel

"Oh, so you came to visit me on purpose." Lucius looked at Snape indifferently and curled his lips, "At... four o'clock in the morning?"

Snape read the certificate mechanically without changing his face: "Yes, I passed by on my morning jog."

"...You run in the morning?" Lucius raised his eyebrows.

"..." Snape seemed to have realized what he had just said. He twitched the corner of his mouth, wanting to stab the bastard who was hiding behind him and making up his mind.

"Oh, if it's true, then it's a good habit, don't feel shy." Lucius still had a spring-like smile on his face, but the wand in his sleeve slipped quietly into his palm.

Snape looked at the other party in silence for a few seconds, and then threw the fruit basket neatly into the yard with one hand. The apples and oranges were scattered all over the ground. He didn't even look at it, but adjusted his slightly wrinkled sleeve robe , also showed a Slytherin reserved smile towards Lucius: "It's nothing, don't care, it has nothing to do with these reasons, the intention of looking for you is real."

"Oh? I'm curious about the reason." Lucius didn't intend to put down his wand, he was already on guard, and it wouldn't be so easy to get rid of it.

Snape's eyes were the same color as the night, but there were stars shining brightly: "If you could invite me in first, I would be very grateful and... tell you in detail."

Lucius looked at the calm and arrogant young man in front of him. This is the usual way of getting along between them. He seemed peaceful and friendly, but his words were full of guard and deep meaning. He quietly let go of thinking that the other party was raped by someone. With the thought of the Transfiguration Curse, he withdrew his wand: "I hope your reason can give me the value to open the hall door for you late at night."

Snape smiled.

Lucius was leading the way for him, but he still felt that the other party was very strange just now, what happened?The platinum aristocrat's thinking became active for a while, ah... Could it be that he didn't wake up during the hibernation period?His young Slytherin really seemed like the type to hibernate in the cellar while retaining his serpentine traits.

If Harry could hear the other person's heart, he would probably sigh that when Draco's father was young...he had a big brain. ==

Of course, Harry couldn't hear it. He and Tony Steve had already slipped to the other end of the corridor while the two were talking. My son's field of view was really bad.

Also appearing are Tony and Steve.

"...Shipping, jogging in the morning? Are you sure?" Harry looked speechlessly at Tony, who had been giving bad ideas behind Snape just now.

Tony flicked his hair leisurely: "I just think we should leave a good impression on Lucius, so that their communication will be smoother, who knows that your professor's basic score is too bad, and if you improve it a little bit, you will almost pass him by." Scared to death."

Harry rolled his eyes.

Steve called the two of them: "Okay, no matter how hard Snape plays around, it's impossible for the other party to be suspicious all the time. Let's look for it quickly. Since Snape is keeping Malfoy, it means that Malfoy Fu knows the meaning of this diary, so it must be in a more hidden place."

"I remember the professor said that Malfoy is very fond of the secret basement here." Harry said, thinking about the direction, Malfoy Manor is too big, and he sneaked in a few times even during the war, but he was still a little Unable to recognize the direction, "Shall we go down and have a look?"

Tony nodded, and the three put on the invisibility cloaks again, avoiding the house elves walking around in the castle, searching for the entrance to the basement, and finally they found a secret door under the carpet.

The Malfoy family is worthy of being an ancient aristocratic family. Compared with the general basement, it is more like another underground palace. The color tone is mainly Slytherin's unique dark green and golden yellow, and the surroundings are dark and magnificent.

Tony glanced at the winding corridors covered with golden carpets and the neatly arranged rooms, randomly counted their numbers and then gave up, "Looks like, looking for something here... probably really a little I hope our little prince can last a little longer."

Harry opened the first door first, and was instantly blinded by all the gold objects. He swallowed in a daze: "...Oh, I also hope that my willpower can last a little longer."

In the main hall of the manor, Snape and Lucius were talking in front of the fireplace.

"So... can you tell me why you came?" Lucius sat gracefully on the sofa, picked up the steaming teacup, and motioned for Snape to pick up another cup, "Or do I need to ask for another cup?" Would you like another cup of tea?"

But Snape didn't touch anything on the table, he didn't even sit down, he just stood in front of the fireplace with a cold expression, looked at the crackling flames inside, and said calmly: "...the recent Death Eaters There are many rumors about the return of the master."

"Oh?" Lucius raised his delicate eyebrows, and responded noncommittally, "My friend, I thought you weren't the type to believe these rumors."

"Indeed, I don't care and I don't believe it. The words of some insignificant guys are not enough to shake me." The young black magic professor curled his lips mockingly, staring straight at his friend with dark eyes, "What I really care about is ...You are obviously a person who disdains rumors more than I do, why did you take action instead? The person who was quietly searching in Hogwarts some time ago is the person you brought? What are you looking for? The master has regained his strength ?"

Lucius took a sip of the black tea in his cup, and said in a flat tone, "That's nothing, it's just a token of my heart, to show my loyalty to my master."

Snape narrowed his eyes slightly: "You are a businessman, and you never show loyalty when it is useless."

"Just because of this?"

"You are one of the important reasons for my doubts. More importantly, there are many weirdos who are eyeing Hogwarts. But after you appeared, Dumbledore actually specially strengthened Hogwarts' magic defense level. He also did it secretly without telling the students, and there are not many people who can alert Dumbledore... Such an association makes people have to be suspicious." Snape looked at the other party, "What is the master trying to do?"

"...Good reasoning." Lucius still maintained an elegant aristocratic smile, "but don't forget, to take a step back, if the master regains his power, then the conversation between you and me will be under his surveillance Come on, you know what Master hates most are fools who pretend to be clever and try to guess his intentions, is it really okay for you to question my master's purpose so bluntly?"

Snape was silent.

Lucius' tone suddenly became gentle, as soft as a gust of wind: "But Severus, I know you are not such a reckless person, you will not be so impulsive just because of this question, so you are willing to tell me, tell maybe it is true Listening master... What is the real purpose of your coming to me today... What is it?"

Snape's shoulders stiffened slightly, and his heart sank. He knew that the chat with the other party tonight was really over here, and every word he said next was to determine whether he would be able to stay in the dark from now on. The sentence that the Demon King's subordinates lived on was just as he was thinking about what to say, when the ground suddenly shook slightly.

As if there was a joint effect, the continuous vibration sounded, and the whole manor was in a slight shaking, and there seemed to be a dull rumbling sound coming from under the ground.

Lucius' complexion changed, he didn't argue with Snape anymore, he got up immediately and walked out.

Snape scolded Tony and the others for their carelessness in his heart, thought for a few seconds, and followed Lucius quietly towards a certain direction.

******

In the underground palace, Tony and his party were running wildly, and smashed things on the ground with ping-pong-pong. It wasn't because they were careless, but they couldn't care about it at all. Moreover, the shock just now couldn't be caused by them.

The one who shook the entire manor was the big guy following them—the four-legged serpent, that is, the legendary dragon. The other party seemed not fully awake yet, but he did not intend to let go of the person who disturbed his sleep. It snorted rumblingly, its huge fleshy wings were not big enough to truly unfold in the cramped space, it couldn't fly, but it still swept away all obstacles and crawled towards them.

"What the hell is this?" Tony asked as he ran.

"Sleeping Dragon! I've only seen it in textbooks on the Protection of Magical Creatures!" Harry shouted depressingly, what kind of box opening level is Tony?As soon as the door is opened, the group will attack the big boss.

"Why doesn't it sleep well when it's called this name?!"

"Didn't you wake me up?"

"It's not good to let it sleep anywhere, it has to sleep next to the bookshelf!" Tony shouted with an aggrieved look, shaking the hard-covered diary in his hand, the number of the task item in the system changed from 0 to 1, It was confirmed that this was one of the Horcruxes they were looking for, Reed's diary.

"Normal people know that when they encounter a dragon, they should at least bypass it! Who the hell would step on it like you do! It's a ghost if you don't wake up!!" foul language.

"Who knew it was such a princess and the pea." Tony looked innocent.

"Do you have a giant pea like you?!"

"Okay, be quiet!" Steve couldn't bear to interrupt the two who were choking on each other while running for their lives.

Tony was just about to turn his head and laugh at the captain's mother-in-law, but when he turned around, he found no one around him. He froze for a moment, and then stopped in his tracks. He was still running in the corridor just now, but now he could barely see what he was stepping on. It was a marble floor—exactly the same as the room where the dragon was found, and it was completely dark, as if the lights were not turned on.

Didn't he run out all the time?

Tony didn't have time to think about it, the dragon's tail had already swung in front of him, Tony jumped forward, and the palm cannon attacked the weak part of the dragon's neck without hesitation, but only a small spark bloomed there, what effect? nothing.

"Roar—" Sleeping Dragon let out a low roar, and then jumped into the darkness again.

mk42 has its own night camera, Tony's vision has not been greatly affected, but he can't find the other party at all, he is a little strange, how can such a huge body hide in the darkness silently?

Suddenly a gust of wind whizzed past Tony's ears, but it was too late for Tony to raise his hand to defend, the helmet was hit hard, and the power of Sleeping Dragon was so great that it threw Tony's whole body out at once, and the helmet was also thrown out .

Tony barely got up from the ground, feeling dizzy, his ears went deaf for a few seconds, and his vision was a little blurred. He stood up and wanted to go back to pick up the helmet, but his eyes flashed and his chest was empty.

Tony lowered his head reflexively, and saw a silver blade sinking into his chest, piercing through his nuclear reactor, and cutting open the entire chest cavity.

Tony thought, when the hell did dragons get so high-tech and still use knives?But when he looked up, his eyes really widened.

The person in front of him is not a dragon at all, but a person. The person is wearing the golden-red mask he has seen countless times in his nightmares, but this time the mask is missing a corner, revealing some soft golden hair and pure blue hair. eyes.

It was a face Tony knew so well, and it was Tony's favorite blue eyes.

The wound was not in the throat, but Tony found that his throat was so hoarse that he could hardly make a sound, and could only make a whining sound: "cap...?"
