Chapter 668 The Entry Threshold for Death Eaters Is a Bit Low!
"Really? Doesn't my father really need to be imprisoned in Azkaban?" Malfoy became excited, his pale face turning red with excitement.
"No problem at all." Tom crossed his fingers and leaned on his seat to look at Malfoy, "Didn't Dumbledore save Snape more than ten years ago? It's not difficult to save your father."
"And my mother." Malfoy added weakly.
"There is no difference between protecting one and protecting two." Tom didn't care about this. He even promised Malfoy that even if Lucius and his wife were temporarily thrown into Azkaban, the dementors in Azkaban would not be in trouble. Both of them.
Malfoy didn't believe it at first. He was a cold-blooded dementor. How could a dark creature without emotions understand the ways of the world? How can a wizard get through the back door of the dementors and establish a relationship with them?
But thinking about that rumor, Draco Malfoy felt that it was somewhat possible.
It seems that a "king" was born among the dementors, and maybe Dumbledore can talk to him.
"Don't be too happy too soon." Tom raised an index finger to let the excited Malfoy calm down first.
"Only valuable people can do special things. Ordinary Death Eaters can only do business." Tom shook his finger and said softly: "Draco, do you think your parents are valuable people?" ?”
From Draco's perspective, his parents were certainly valuable. So he nodded without thinking.
"Then what is their value? I need to see their value before I can communicate with Dumbledore and keep them." A playful smile appeared on the corner of Tom's mouth.
Hermione sitting aside rolled her eyes: her boyfriend is becoming more and more like a villain! However, the target of his bullying was Draco Malfoy, and Hermione turned a blind eye. She didn't have a good impression of Malfoy, a pure-blooded wizard, and she just wanted to see him show his ugly face.
"We have money. How much do you want? My father will definitely raise it." Malfoy said hurriedly. As long as it can save his parents from jail, even spending 10,000 gold galleons is worth it.
Tom shook his head. He had already set his sights on the Lestrange family's treasury, and money was not that important to him.
Also, are the current head of the Malfoy family and his wife worth ten thousand gold galleons? Malfoy's vision is still narrow.
Seeing that the money offensive that had been so effective in the past actually hit a wall in front of Tom, Malfoy was a little panicked.
"The Malfoy family still has a strong influence in the wizarding world. If we have our support-"
"If your influence is really useful, then why is Mr. Lucius still locked up now?"
Malfoy was speechless at this. Influence is a very mysterious thing. Sometimes it is nothing, but sometimes it can be worth thousands of troops. Unfortunately, this is the time when the influence of the Malfoy family is ineffective.
"Then, my father can identify some Death Eaters who are on the loose..." Malfoy said his final bottom line.
As soon as he said it, he regretted it a little. What's the difference between this and openly siding with Dumbledore? He really didn't want to take sides between Voldemort or Dumbledore!
You know, Lucius once asked his house elf Dobby to pass information to Dumbledore. The reason why he never confessed this matter was because he was afraid of Voldemort's revenge. Voldemort is not dead yet! Not mentioning Dobby's contribution was just going to Azkaban, but talking about what Dobby did would cost his life! Therefore, what Malfoy pursues is to keep a low profile, and it is best to let others think that it is the result of his family's relationship.
Faced with the bottom line given by Malfoy, Tom still shook his head.
Voldemort's loyalists have been hiding for a long time, so why would it be the Ministry of Magic's turn to catch them? What Lucius can offer now is either a notorious guy - such as Bellatrix, or a bunch of losers. The former cannot be caught by the Ministry of Magic, while the latter is of average value.
Seeing Tom shaking his head, Malfoy was both happy and sad. The good thing is that there is no need for Dad to take risks, but the sad thing is that he really doesn't know what other bargaining chips he can bring to the negotiation table. Tom said he didn't need the money, but the Malfoy family couldn't provide it. Even the path of committing crimes and meritorious service was blocked by Yodel.
What's more important is that this is just negotiating terms with an intermediary, and he hasn't met the real owner, Dumbledore, yet.
Malfoy was not very familiar with Dumbledore's character, but he also knew that even Dumbledore, who was always willing to give people a second chance, would find it difficult to forgive his father.
After all, he is a Death Eater!
"You can ask your father to write a confession and give it to Dumbledore in private. Tell him everything he knows. If you confess, he will be lenient. If you go to prison... go home for the New Year! Dumbledore will not forget your father's contribution. of."
Tom has already thought of a way to save Lucius. In the worst case, he will be sent to the White Dolphin. Let him live there for a while and then release him after Voldemort is eliminated.
Malfoy sighed, but he also knew that this was the most reliable way at the moment. Not only will his father be exposed, but he will also be able to make meritorious deeds to the greatest extent possible.
But after agreeing to Tom, Malfoy still felt mixed emotions: he finally chose to take sides. But unlike his father who bet on Voldemort, he placed his bet on Dumbledore.
Reason told him that this was the best ending, but his emotions still made him feel uncomfortable.
"Did you come to talk to me just for this matter?" Tom felt that the conversation had come to an end and it was time to end the conversation with Malfoy.
But Malfoy brought him surprising news.
"They want you to become a Death Eater?" Tom was shocked by what Malfoy said. He didn't say half of the sentence for fear of hurting Malfoy's feelings. That is: Are the entry barriers for Death Eaters so low? Even people like you are included? Could it be that being a Death Eater is still a profession where father dies and son dies?
Tom didn't say these words, and Malfoy didn't know either. He just nodded solemnly, confirming the authenticity of the news.
Tom and Hermione looked at each other, both seeing incredible emotions in each other's eyes.
"Promise them, and if the Death Eaters have any orders, remember to ventilate Dumbledore." Although the matter was a bit absurd, it was still easy to solve. As long as Malfoy delivers Voldemort's orders in time, it won't cause him any trouble.
It is equivalent to Malfoy becoming an undercover agent of the Order of the Phoenix among the Death Eaters. Of course, given the job assigned to him by the Death Eaters, Malfoy would most likely be a double agent.
It's just that the Order of the Phoenix seems to have more undercover agents among the Death Eaters...
