Chapter 44 Causes and Consequences

It was easier than expected to gain Draco's trust. Cyrus knew that this was probably due to Lucius. Xiaolong still admired his father very much. Since it was Lucius who told him that the diary could help him open the Chamber of Secrets, Draco naturally believed it.

Cyrus also knew the cause and effect in the process of communicating with Draco.

At that time, Cyrus turned into Draco's appearance and found the owl of the Malfoy family. The owl did not recognize that the Malfoy in front of him was not Malfoy, so he flew to Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire with the letter.

He was afraid that Lucius Malfoy would not obey his orders, so when he wrote the letter, he clearly hinted that Draco's fate was in his hands, and asked Lucius to cooperate with him to expel Dumbledore from the school.

As a result, when Lucius and Narcissa received the letter from their "son", they immediately panicked. Misunderstandings were caused.

Time goes back to the Christmas days.

Wiltshire, Malfoy Manor.

"It's Christmas already, they should finally calm down!" Narcissa's face was full of unhappiness. This temperament destroyed her original beauty, and she looked like someone who was not so easy to get along with.

But it was not her fault. This year, the Ministry of Magic had been looking for trouble with them, trying to find the dark magic items hidden in the Malfoy family. Although Lucius had secretly dealt with the most difficult batch, the Malfoy family was not a good man in the magic world for so many years. Unless the entire manor became an empty shell, there was no way to deal with it.

And his beloved baby son, it was because of the continuous search that Lucius decided to let Draco spend Christmas at school this year. Narcissa was naturally unhappy that she couldn't see her eldest son during the hard-earned holiday.

"I have put pressure on the Daily Prophet and the Ministry of Magic. Fortunately, Arthur Weasley has a stupid son, and that Harry Potter——"

Lucius would naturally not surrender to Weasley's targeting.

Arthur Weasley, right?

You are looking for trouble with me, then I won't let you have an easy time either!

In fact, he had started it during the summer vacation. He remembered a diary that Voldemort had given him to keep. The diary looked like something from the Muggle world. If it hadn't been left by that person for him to keep, he would have thrown it away as garbage.

Lucius remembered that he seemed to have asked the Dark Lord why he had to keep a notebook from the Muggle world.

The answer given by the Dark Lord at that time was: the diary is the key to the Chamber of Secrets.

If the Dark Lord was still alive, Lucius would never dare to hand over the diary, but now, the other party has disappeared for eleven years. In this case, why not use this diary to cause a little trouble to the Weasley family?

After that, he did not let go of the flying car incident. Not only did he contact the newspaper to make a big deal about it, but he also bribed some officials in the Ministry of Magic who had a good relationship with him, so that Arthur Weasley was caught in the storm.

Now, the annoying endless search has finally ended.

"I think you should go to Hogwarts and bring Draco back?" Narcissa said a little worriedly, "The last time Draco wrote back, he said that there was an attack in the school. I'm afraid the Chamber of Secrets was really opened. I'm worried that he will be in danger if he stays in the school."

Lucius hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "It was just a mudblood who was attacked. Draco will not be in danger. And I have written to him not to show up. He knows very little about this matter, so there will be no problem."

It's not impossible to bring Draco home, but Draco will inherit the Malfoy family in the future, so he shouldn't be so hypocritical.

As the two talked, they saw a shadow flying in the sky.

It was the owl they bought for Draco.

"Didn't Draco send a letter a few days ago?" Narcissa couldn't wait to take the letter from the owl and opened it. After a few seconds, her pale face immediately became even paler. She covered her mouth in fear, and the whole person seemed to be shaky.

"What's the matter?"

Lucius had a bad feeling in his heart, and quickly took the letter and read it:

My dear servant, Lucius Malfoy:

I'm really sorry, Lucius. Did you forget my magic power after I disappeared from other people's eyes for a while? Otherwise, how dare you send out the things I asked you to keep? I think you probably think that the Dark Lord is dead, as countless people say, defeated by a baby who can't even walk, so you are anxious to get rid of it?

"——" Lucius only read the first paragraph, his breathing became short, the whole person couldn't stop shaking, and he slowly said in his mouth, "He's back... He's back..."

Then, he continued to read with fear.

I have to admit that my current state is not good, but it's still easy to kill a few people.

Now, I need you to complete one thing to make up for the mistakes you made. It's not too difficult-as long as you kick Dumbledore out of school!

In addition, I wish you a happy Christmas.

The letter, which contained only a few words, made Lucius and Narcissa look deathly pale.

"Is it really him? It can't be him!" Narcissa said in fear, "He has disappeared for eleven years, how could he come back!" She was unwilling to accept the fact that her son was in danger at the moment.

But Lucius knew very well that no one else knew about the diary except Voldemort himself.

"There is still a chance - there is still a chance to atone for the crime!" He immediately came out of fear. Lucius knew Voldemort's character. If he did his task well enough, he might avoid being punished, and Draco would not be in danger.

"The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. If Dumbledore can't find the murderer, then I can use the power of the school director to drive him out of Hogwarts!" Lucius already had a plan in mind, but he needed some chips to convince the school director.

"The number of victims must be increased! How can only one mudblood be enough? This must be done by Draco. The Dark Lord is not dead yet. Only in this way will he praise Draco!"

"Dobby--!"

"I'm here, master..."

A house elf with scars all over his body appeared in front of Lucius. He looked at Lucius Malfoy with fear and tentative eyes.

Lucius was too lazy to care why it had so many more scars. Now, he only wanted to do one thing, that is, to complete the Dark Lord's mission and prevent Draco from encountering danger.

"Dobby, I want you to go to Hogwarts, find Ginny Weasley, steal a black diary and hand it over to Draco. Then, give him this letter." Lucius wrote another letter.
