August 19th was one day away from the Quidditch World Cup.
Schelling put down his copy of the Daily Prophet.
The cover of the Daily Prophet was a shocking black and white photo of the Dark Mark hanging on a treetop, with the title: "Horrifying Scenes at the Quidditch World Cup."
This article was written by Rita Skeeter. The wording is very sensational, and it also adds some unconfirmed terrible conjectures in key places such as "There are rumors that..." "It is rumored..." and so on.
"The Mark of the Dark has reappeared...the Ministry of Magic is panicking...the criminals have not been caught...security is relaxed...dark wizards are at large...bringing shame to the country...The wizards waiting outside the woods are panicking, hoping to get help from the Ministry of Magic. But sadly, they were disappointed. Shortly after the Dark Mark appeared, a Ministry of Magic official appeared and declared that no one had been harmed, but refused to say more. Whether his words were enough to calm the tension Rumor has it that several bodies were brought out of the woods after hours, but it remains to be seen.”
The second article mentioned the rumors about the Dark Mark and the elves of the Crouch family. It has to be said that Rita Skeeter is really quite capable. Only a few officials from the Ministry of Magic knew about the incident in the woods, yet she managed to write it out of thin air, and it happened to be almost the same as the real situation.
"It is rumored that the Dark Mark was issued by a house elf... There are no elves in the Ministry of Magic's Death Eater list... Coincidentally, the house elves of the Crouch family were given clothes and dismissed on the same day. As we all know, Barty Crouch Sr.’s son was a Death Eater and committed heinous crimes..."
The third article is a short article, which mentions the disappearance of Meredith Shafik, the legitimate daughter of the Shafiq family. Although it does not mention "Shadow of the Dragon", it does not The lack of criticism of the Ministry of Magic's incompetence has resulted in the last bloodline of an ancient family suffering as a result.
The fourth article is much more interesting. It mentions the presence of werewolves in the World Cup. They are suspected to be related to the Death Eater riots. As we all know, werewolves were under the command of You-Know-Who during the First Wizarding War. However, the strange thing is that this time the werewolves attacked the camp of the Lestrange family, killing more than a dozen tribesmen who came to watch the World Cup in a cruel way, and the only survivor Or, Gallup Lestrange, who was still attending Hogwarts, was bitten and turned into a werewolf.
When Xie Lin read this, he sneered. These were of course Xie Lin's handwriting. He had not forgotten the incident of being attacked by Gemma.
He strictly followed Lucius's instructions and did not take action against those pure-blood families. However, even if he could not do it himself, it did not mean that nothing could be done.
This attack was carefully planned. First, Bathory and Anis personally took action and jointly captured some lone werewolves in Knockturn Alley. Bathory, as the mortal enemy of werewolves, even if the werewolves were still in their ordinary state, She can also easily tell a werewolf apart.
Then, Annes used the dominatrix's unique mind control magic to control this group of werewolves to attack Lestrange's camp. Among the werewolves that attacked at night, there were also many elites from the vampire royal family and dominatrixes. They all Disguised as a werewolf, he also deliberately left the werewolf's unique paw prints and traces at the scene - the purpose was to blame the werewolf.
The werewolf clan has a close relationship with the Rolle family, a pure-blood family, which can just be used to sow discord and create suspicion between the Rolle family and the Lestrange family.
The werewolf family will also be exposed in news reports because of this atrocity, which will arouse the resentment of the masses and suppress the arrogance of the Rohr family.
Including revenge, it can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.
Xie Lin snapped his fingers and summoned Dobby. He knew that Dobby and Winky knew each other, and he wanted Dobby to bring Winky to him. Dobby has been working with Xie Lin for a long time, and he has become more and more efficient in doing things. He brought Winky here within a few hours.
Shining was drinking every day to relieve his sorrow because of being fired. At this moment, his eyes were still full of drunkenness, and his whole body was slumped on the ground, murmuring quietly to himself.
"Twinkle, look into my eyes!" Xie Lin ordered sternly.
The half-drunk Twinkle unconsciously met Xie Lin's eyes for a moment. Xuelin's pupils were as deep as a bottomless black hole. Twinkle felt like her whole mind was being sucked in uncontrollably. into the black hole.
"Twinkle, look into my eyes and answer my questions honestly."
"Look into the eyes...answer the questions..."
"You were originally a house elf of the Crouch family?"
"Yes... I am an elf from the Crouch family. I have served Master Crouch for three generations..."
"You defied Barty Crouch's will! You are a nasty elf who betrayed your master!"
"No...I'm not...I'm not..." Shining's voice was filled with painful cries, and her whole body began to tremble.
"Tell me - is Barty Crouch Jr. still alive? Was he the one who released the Dark Mark that night!"
"Ah -" Sparkling let out a heart-rending scream, she strangled her neck and kept banging her head against the floor. But the softening spell had been released on the floor long ago, and she was not harmed at all.
"Don't resist my will! You bad elf! It was you - it was you who persuaded old Barty to take his son to the World Cup! It was you who failed to take good care of little Barty and let him escape! It was you who picked it up randomly Wand! You put Crouch under investigation by the Ministry of Magic! You brought shame on the Crouch family!"
"Ah - I'm not - I didn't... I swear... I..."
"No resistance! Think of Mrs. Crouch's appearance before she died! Remember her expectations! Remember her expression!"
Sparkling's expression suddenly changed to one of fear and panic, and she shivered even more.
"If you feel scared and ashamed, you are a sinful person, and no one will need a bad elf like you anymore... Only I can help you get rid of this guilt, as long as you become my slave! "
"Yes... Twinkle is a sinner... Twinkle is a slave..."
"Remember the name of your new master, I am Sherlyn Malfoy!"
Winky knelt on the ground, crawled to Xie Lin's feet, and said in a trembling voice: "Xie Lin Malfoy... my master... please accept Winky... please accept your humble servant... Winky is willing to follow You, I am willing to die for you, I am willing to do anything for you!"
"Really?" Xie Lin's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Even if I ask you to kill Crouch?"
Twinkle trembled even more, but she still answered, "Yes, my only master, even if it means killing Crouch..." After saying this, the guilt and fear in Twinkle's heart disappeared, and her heart was suddenly filled with Overwhelmed with joy, as if she had been reborn, she looked at Xie Lin with a fanatical look, wishing that she could immediately catch the old Batty family in front of their master and kill them, so as to express her loyalty.
"Very good, from today on, you are my third servant!"
["Servant" is obtained in a flash! 】
Since Meredith's disappearance, Schelling found that his magic power had skyrocketed, and his mastery of soul magic had become great overnight. This can be seen from the fact that he can brainwash two house elves into becoming his servants without any effort.
Xie Lin looked at his hands. The surging magic power was mixed with a faint black energy.
Is this because my evil thoughts are growing? Will he eventually embark on a dark path?
In the past, Schelling would have preferred to be friendly and kind to the elves in order to win their loyalty. Now that he believed in the power of magic even more, he became more like Voldemort in a way.
I just hope I never get to that point...
Xie Lin sighed, and in his mind, the faces of Lucius, Narcissa, Draco, Daphne, Meredith, and Astoria flashed one by one, and the final scene was fixed in "Abatail Volume 3· On the last page of "Soul Chapter", it is written in twisted fonts——
If you want to increase the power of your soul, the fastest and most effective way is to kill the one you love with your own hands...
I see, is this the source of Dumbledore’s strength...
Xie Lin wrote a letter to his family, and during the remaining summer vacation days before the start of school, he stayed at Green Manor and would not go back.
He asked Dobby to run errands for him and went to Diagon Alley to buy all the textbooks and potion ingredients needed for the start of school. At the same time, he also ordered a set of special attire and robes for the ball for Xie Lin. Yes, Xie Lin decided to participate. Goblet of Fire. Under the guise of the Goblet of Fire Competition, not only could he be exempted from the final exam, but it would also allow him to ask the professors for various advanced magics in a legitimate manner. From now on, he could also study high-level magic openly.
Harry in the original book was baptized by the Goblet of Fire, and his use of various magic spells and practical combat abilities improved by leaps and bounds. And if you can win the Goblet of Fire in the end, you can increase your reputation again, and it will be an international reputation.
Schelling also put the Galleons he won in the World Cup to good use.
Xie Lin, who lived in the Muggle world in his previous life, is well aware of the profits hidden behind the beauty market. He has long had the idea of getting involved in the field of beauty potions.
At present, the beauty potion market in the UK is monopolized by Lady Prepenal of Diagon Alley and the Tugwood family. The former is best known for its wart remover, while the latter is famous for its pimple cure.
Zygmunt Bacchi, the author of "The Book of Potions", also invented a potion called "beautification potion". This potion is not a beauty potion in the strict sense. It cannot change the appearance, but can only make the user's appearance more attractive. The effect is also temporary and will be revealed once you stop taking it.
Almost all of the beauty potions mastered by the Tugwood family were handed down more than thirty years ago by Saksha Lisa Tugwood of chocolate frog drawing fame. Her descendants obviously did not inherit her potion talent, and they have not proposed any improvements to the formula for so many years, so the patent rights for the formula were terminated more than ten years ago.
Schelling got in touch with the Tugwood family through Gareth's connections, and used 2,000 galleons to buy all the research notes on beauty potions in their collection - the Tugwood family was eating for these things left in the corner. They are overjoyed that dusty waste paper can be sold for a good price, without any awareness of the value behind this knowledge.
Xie Lin is well aware of the importance of appearance to women, and the biggest natural enemy of women is not sarcoma or pimples, but aging. What Xie Lin wants to develop is a magic potion that will prevent aging of the face. If this succeeds, he believes it will be an unprecedented pioneering work in the business world.
[Obtained the Tugwood family’s potion research notes! 】
During this time, Xie Lin also practiced actual combat with Daphne and Astoria.
Since Meredith was kidnapped, the two girls knew that if they wanted to share the burden for their boyfriends, they would need stronger strength. Therefore, the two sisters have been practicing extremely hard during these days, whether it is in magic theory knowledge or , or in the skills of using magic spells, there has been obvious and considerable progress.
In addition, Schelling also told the two sisters about his plans for this semester.
He plans to officially form a student organization to follow him.
He had already thought of a name for the organization, so he decided to call it "Sleeping Dragon Society", which means don't disturb the sleeping dragon, for if you disturb it, you will be angry.
The two sisters can use the appeal of the Greengrass family to recruit lower-level students to join the organization, and then select and train the best to create their own power.
In order to avoid attracting Dumbledore's attention, Schelling planned to make Daphne the leader on the surface, while Schelling retreated to the background and acted secretly. The two sisters are deeply devoted to Xie Lin, and they will cooperate unconditionally no matter what plan Xie Lin has.
The three of them also took advantage of their vacation time to discuss the plan together, improving and adding various details until the entire plan was completed.
