Zhang Xiao walked slowly from behind him and asked calmly: "I want to know, who did you give the Dark Lord's things to?"
Lucius's pupils dilated instantly, and his whole body was sluggish due to extreme shock.
The muscles on his face twitched, and his hand even unconsciously touched the snake staff.
How did he know? Why would he know? Draco told him? Impossible, Draco doesn't know either!
This cannot be leaked. This cannot be leaked. This cannot be leaked!
Once this gets out, the entire Malfoy family will be doomed! And Narcissa, Draco no, no!
Trembling fingers pinched the smooth and cold handle of the snake staff.
"I advise you not to do this, if you want all the ancestors of the Malfoy family to be dug out of their graves and crushed into ashes.
Or - you didn't learn enough lessons from the fate of the Shafiq family? "
Zhang Xiao watched Lucius's actions, resisted the urge to strike first, and gave him the only friendly reminder for Malfoy's sake.
He picked it up lightly with his fingers, and the wand jumped into his palm with a buzzing sound. How strong is Lucius? Zhang Xiao actually doesn’t know.
But just now when he burst out with murderous intent, his spiritual sense reacted, which was probably between a 'little insect biting his hands' and a 'little mouse biting his hands'.
It can only be said that those who play too much with tactics forget that their own strength is the most important thing.
Lucius immediately put his hand back down. He suddenly remembered the background of the boy in front of him, how powerful he was.
And when Lucius looked at the second-year student in front of him, he seemed to feel a vague sense of oppression similar to that of Dumbledore.
Although it was very weak, it was far inferior to Dumbledore's fear of facing the deep sea.
But that’s also a feeling of oppression!
Damn that oppression! I hate feeling oppressive!
Lucius's masseter muscles bulged out due to excessive exertion. After finally getting out of Dumbledore's shadow, he fell into fear again.
He tried hard to maintain the surface calm and said in his slow voice:
"Zhang, didn't your family teach you manners? If you want to know some anecdotes, I welcome you to my home.
And we will chat on the terrace on the second floor while sipping black tea and royal desserts, not now. "
Zhang Xiao looked at Lucius who was about to kill him for refusing to admit it, and thought of a lot of rhetoric he had just prepared, such as how he used his wisdom to find clues from the clues.
How could he have a flash of inspiration and figure out the truth?
But none of this matters anymore
Zhang Xiao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, 'Boom'!
A thunderous explosion came from his body, and violent golden light wrapped around his body like a raging flame.
The lines on the lightning-struck wooden wand also lit up, and the dazzling electric light snaked upwards along the arm, hovering outside the golden light.
"Mr. Malfoy" Zhang Xiao slowly opened his eyes: "Why are you only afraid of the Dark Lord's revenge and not Dumbledore? Aren't you afraid of us?
Is it because good people won’t do anything to you? "
Lucius couldn't help but take two steps back. Although his face still had the same expression, there was a touch of panic in his eyes.
Those gray eyes reflected the golden light on Zhang Xiao's body, which was a power he didn't understand, and that damn, increasingly strong sense of oppression.
He is only in second grade!
And—who says he’s not afraid? I was almost scared to death. If there hadn't been so many people just now, I would have apologized to Dumbledore!
"Draco Zhang considers you my best friend."
"It's because Draco is my friend that you're standing here now instead of lying on the ground drinking Veritaserum!"
Zhang Xiao interrupted him unceremoniously, his momentum getting stronger and stronger.
"No! You don't understand! You don't understand anything!" Lucius suddenly became angry, his expression twisted, and his anger made him forget his fear:
"I am not alone! Draco is only twelve years old, I am his father, and I want him to grow up safely!
What else can I do? Yes, you are all so powerful, the Dark Lord, Dumbledore, and you, the heir from the east, your family is even more powerful than we imagined.
Of course you are not afraid of being able to easily destroy the Shafiq family.
Even yourself, as graceful and astonishingly gifted as - just like the Dark Lord in his youth. "
Zhang Xiao watched Lucius go crazy quietly and couldn't help but sneer. If he was a second-year student, he might have been frightened by Lucius's performance.
You may even feel sympathy, thinking that Lucius is a good man who endures humiliation and hardship for his family.
It's a pity that I am not a 'second grade wizard'.
I understand, but I don’t agree. Everyone wants to live. We can’t fight but we can hide.
But in fact, the Malfoy family's wealth skyrocketed during Voldemort's power.
"Are you done?"
Zhang Xiao's magic wand was pointed at him
"For Draco's sake, I will give you a choice. Once the Dark Lord returns and takes your family to China, I will guarantee your safety."
Lucius was stunned and blurted out: "But my wealth"
Looking at Zhang Xiao's mocking eyes, Lucius closed his mouth, and after a while, he said slowly:
"Are you sure Voldemort won't come looking for you? This is the betrayal he hates the most!"
Voldemort came to Longhu Mountain? Is there such a good thing?
Within the borders of China, our Taoist sect is invincible in the world! This is confidence!
Seeing the confidence on Zhang Xiao's face, Lucius froze on the spot for a while, having a fierce battle in his heart. Then he sighed, finally made up his mind, closed his eyes and said:
"The diary, the Dark Lord's relic is a diary. I gave the diary to Gilderoy Lockhart!"
Lockhart?
Is the diary in Lockhart's possession? Because of the corrosive nature of the diary, anyone who gets the diary will be somewhat mentally disturbed, but Lockhart shows no signs of this at all.
Zhang Xiao suddenly remembered that Lockhart went to class uncharacteristically and made a big splash in the dueling club.
Is this all Tom's fault?
Is Defense Against the Dark Arts really poisonous? Normal people are parallel imports. Only the Dark Lord, Death Eaters, and werewolves can take classes well?
Now that he had spoken, Lucius seemed to collapse, and he simply made it clear.
"That day I deliberately provoked Arthur and me to fight, and took advantage of the chaos to put the diary into his readers' letters."
Zhang Xiao gathered up the golden light on his body, and it was quite tiring to stretch out with all his strength:
"Why Lockhart?"
Lucius said numbly:
"When the Dark Lord handed the diary to me, he ordered me to return it to Hogwarts at the appropriate time.
I had forgotten about it until Draco told me last year that the Dark Lord appeared at Hogwarts."
Zhang Xiao probably understood.
Things went awry here. Because of Draco Malfoy, Lucius didn't want to be involved with Voldemort anymore, but he didn't dare not listen. It was absolutely impossible to give it to Dumbledore, unless he was crazy. .
So 'Sly Malfoy' played a little trick.
As a well-known wizard, Lockhart has solved countless troubles that others have been unable to solve. He is also an honorary member of the Defense Against Dark Arts Association.
The professor, who is 'very powerful and has rich experience in anti-black magic', happens to be teaching soon, and gave him the diary. I believe that this famous master will be able to solve the problem of the diary.
In this way, a hidden danger can be solved without disobeying Voldemort's orders.
Kill two birds with one stone!
But he never expected that Lockhart was a parallel importer!
And Lucius also revealed a small detail that made Zhang Xiao's teeth itch.
"Draco asked me for something. He said that at the beginning of school, he insulted the red-haired brat of the Weasley family, and he has been feeling guilty for his behavior since then.
Draco noticed that the Weasley's wand was old, just like I offered to give Weasley a new wand, but it couldn't be revealed that we paid for it. "
When he said this, Lucius actually showed a touch of pride on his face:
"Draco is a good boy, so I put 12 galleons in an envelope and put it in the little girl's book. This is just enough money for a new wand."
After speaking, he looked at Zhang Xiao and asked:
"Draco is a good boy, isn't he?"
Zhang Xiao gritted his teeth and stretched out his thumb, pushing it out from between his teeth:
"Yeah! Very good!"
So Lucius, in addition to the ancestral gift of prophecy, your family also has the ancestral ability to do bad things with good intentions, right?
I managed to escape the Philosopher's Stone Adventure last semester, but your son pulled me in with some magic tricks.
This semester I worked hard to plan the "Li Dai Tao Jian", but you made another set of magic tricks make me lose all my previous efforts, right?
Does your family have trouble with me?
The two were silent for a while, and Zhang Xiao suddenly said:
"Mr. Malfoy, the price of the wand is 7 Galleons."
Lucius:?
Zhang Xiao put on the invisibility cloak again and ran towards the school, Lucius's words still echoing in his mind:
". If you want to do something, this is your last chance. The School Board has removed Dumbledore, nominated by the Ministry of Magic and confirmed by the School Board.
Lockhart is the acting principal. He has a great reputation and many honors. It is said that the reputation of the school is also good now."
"We don't want to either, but the letter requesting our nomination and confirmation has the secret Dark Mark on it."
So this is your plan, Tom?
Hogwarts does not charge any fees. Most of its expenses are provided by the school board, and another part is funded by the Ministry of Magic.
Therefore, the headmaster of Hogwarts has always been nominated by the Ministry of Magic and voted by the school board.
Although the school board has considerable power, the people who can serve as the principal of Hogwarts are generally famous figures in the wizarding world, so the school board will not easily offend the principal.
If there is no nomination from the Ministry of Magic, the Deputy Headmistress will serve concurrently.
Why does the diary have to return to Hogwarts?
Zhang Xiao suddenly remembered this question, just like in the original plot, why was Tom in the secret room at the last moment of his resurrection? I can just find a corner or squat in the Room of Requirement and come out after being resurrected, right?
Or is it that the secret room is the key to resurrection?
Does the last step of resurrection have to be done in a secret room? Are there any arrangements left by Slytherin? Or was it Tom's backhand at the time?
Zhang Xiao's speed is getting faster and faster. Since Tom is so eager to drive away Dumbledore, it means that his resurrection has come to an end.
His eyes were focused on the Marauder's Map. The names of the professors had disappeared, leaving only the densely packed names in the auditorium.
They should all meet in the auditorium?
When he rushed back to the auditorium through the secret passage, he found that the entire auditorium was filled with buzzing noises.
The little wizards gathered together, with expressions of shock and confusion on their faces. Only some of the little witches who were not yet sensible had excited expressions on their faces and smiled happily.
Has the appointment been announced? So fast?
Zhang Xiao put away the invisibility cloak and squeezed through the crowd to get among his friends.
When everyone saw him, they immediately rushed over and said:
"Zhang! Something big happened! Principal Dumbledore"
"Professor Lockhart has been nominated as Acting Headmaster!"
"He also said he already knew the murderer."
"Promise no more attacks will happen in the future"
Zhang Xiao waved his hand to stop everyone's shouting:
"Where's Lockhart?"
Several people looked at each other and shook their heads. Zhang Xiao's heart suddenly sank. At this moment, Professor McGonagall hurried over, pursed her lips, lowered her head slightly, and looked over the square glasses.
"Zhang, Professor Lockhart." She paused, the expression on her face was extremely unnatural, but she still sighed and said:
"Headmaster Lockhart asked you to come to his office. It is said that there is something important."
After finishing speaking, the stern and fair professor shook her head and left, and she could still be heard muttering in a low voice:
"Are the Ministry of Magic and the school board crazy? Removing Dumbledore? This is simply unreasonable."
Lockhart called me over?
Zhang Xiao felt that his breathing had become much heavier.
He wanted to call Professor McGonagall, but he didn't know why. Where was the evidence? If you want to convince Professor McGonagall, you can't just rely on your words.
Although this professor is very good, he is also stubborn and adheres to the rules. It is unrealistic for her to take action against the headmaster nominated by the Ministry of Magic.
Professor McGonagall can strictly abide by the rules when faced with a weirdo like Umbridge, let alone Lockhart, who doesn't have any big problems now!
going or not?
Zhang Xiao's eyes suddenly became sharp, of course he should go!
The most lacking thing now is time. If Voldemort returns so early, this is not what he wants to see. It will take at least two years for him to develop.
He touched the Qiankun bag on his waist. What were he afraid of? Coming out to hang out depends on power and background.
That golden talisman with a big bright red seal is your confidence!
When you open the door later, you'll slap him in the face. Whoever is a coward is a dog!
After gathering his attention, Zhang Xiao looked at his friends who had blank expressions on their faces, and his eyes stayed on Harry's face for a while.
Brother, I'll take care of the secret room for you!
