Wiltshire, G̶r̶i̶n̶d̶e̶l̶w̶a̶l̶d̶ ̶M̶a̶n̶o̶r̶, Voldemort Manor.
Squattermort guided Draco with a hand on his shoulder to the long table.
"This is your father's seat, now it's your seat, Draco, don't let me down!"
Draco suddenly felt a huge force coming from his shoulders.
Sitting down on the chair, he said tremblingly, "Thank you master, I promise to complete the task."
"Good!" Voldemort nodded in satisfaction, looking sharply at Narcissa Malfoy.
Once Narcissa also sat back in her seat, Voldemort started the next topic.
"Everyone, come and see this man!"
Voldemort drew out his wand and waved it towards the long table, then a figure appeared in front of everyone.
"Presumably everyone is not very familiar with this person, so let me introduce you."
"Professor Charity Burbage, she teaches Muggle Studies at Hogwarts."
"Not long ago, someone met her in Diagon Alley, so they invited her back."
"Rennervate!"
As soon as the spell hit Professor Burbage, she took a sharp breath and regained consciousness.
Finding herself being controlled to float in mid-air, her first thought was to get her wand.
"Tsk tsk tsk~ Don't act rashly, Professor Burbage!"
Hearing a voice coming from overhead, she raised her head and looked over, and the upside-down snake-like face suddenly appeared in front of her.
Seeing the fear in her eyes, Voldemort smiled lightly and said, "Don't be afraid, I invited you here because there is one thing I need to confirm with you."
"It is said that you have been emphasizing the theory of Muggle-Wizard equality in front of your students in class. Is there such a thing?"
Charity had already become terrified.
As the Professor of Muggle Studies, she knew well what would happen to her if she fell into the hands of Voldemort who advocates Pureblood superiority and despises Muggles.
Voldemort didn't care if she answered his questions or not.
He walked slowly around the long table, passing behind every Death Eater.
"I also heard that not long ago you published an article in the Daily Prophet, the main content of which was to defend the mudbloods?"
Getting back to his seat, Voldemort drew his wand again.
"It's really sad. As a member of the wizarding world, but with a heart for Muggles, people like you will only spoil those underage wizards who are still in school."
With these words he raised his wand.
"Avada Kedavra!" The shrill voice echoed in the room and the body of Charity Burbage fell from the air into the table with a crash sound.
"Nagini, it's time for dinner."
A big snake crawled in from outside the door, and its huge body passed under the long table.
Whenever a Death Eater's foot was touched, it would be put away immediately.
In front of everyone.
Nagini swallowed Professor Burbage's body bit by bit.
This was Voldemort's intimidation to his men.
"Starting today, all those who have made pro-Muggle remarks will be tried by the Ministry of Magic."
"There are also Ministry of Magic employees who are under investigation, especially those mudbloods. We need to make sure they support the idea of blood supremacy."
"Yes, Master!" replied the Death Eaters in unison.
Once the meeting was over, Draco immediately returned to school.
He needed to tell Lucas about Voldemort's latest arrangement through the contact information left by him.
…
Narcissa Malfoy found her sister.
Now she is under house arrest, and there is absolutely no way to get out of the manor.
For her sister's request, Bella agreed without hesitation.
With the leadership of Bellatrix, Narcissa successfully left Wiltshire and arrived at Cokeworth, Spider's End.
Bella stood by a dirty river, looking at the maze-like rows of houses next to her.
"I didn't expect that Snape would live in this kind of place, this is kind of... a place full of dirty Muggles!"
Bellatrix's tone was full of disgust.
"Cissy, are you really going to see him? I don't think you should trust him!"
"But even the Dark Lord trusts him, Bella."
After Narcissa finished speaking, she quickened her pace.
Following closely behind, Bellatrix pouted.
As Voldemort's fan, she certainly wouldn't say that Voldemort's judgment was wrong.
The two of them came all the way to a small two-story house at the end of the alley.
Knock knock knock~!
Not long after the knock on the door, Snape's figure appeared in front of the two of them.
"It's both surprising and delightful." The soft monotone voice sounded.
Snape looked expressionlessly at the two sisters outside the door.
"Severus, I know I shouldn't have come, but I'm at my wits end, can you let me in?"
After a moment's hesitation, Snape nodded, "Of course."
The three of them came to a small room.
The walls around the room are filled with all kinds of books.
A battered sofa and rickety table was all there is to it.
Snape brought three glasses of wine from the room next door and handed two of them to the Black sisters.
"Now we can talk, what is your business looking for me today?"
"Severus..."
"Cissy!" Bellatrix sternly stopped her: "You have to think clearly, if you really say it, you are betraying the Dark Lord."
"You have to watch your own tongue, especially with this guy."
Snape said sarcastically, "'This guy? Bellatrix, can you explain to me what this phrase means?"
Perhaps irritated by Snape's expression, Bellatrix put down her glass and said, "When the Dark Lord disappeared, where did you go?"
"Why did you spend all these years hiding under Dumbledore's shelter? Why did you stop the Dark Lord from getting the Philosopher's Stone?"
"The most important thing is why is Harry Potter still alive? You obviously had five years to get rid of him, but he is still alive."
Facing Bellatrix's questioning, Snape took a sip of wine calmly, and then explained the other side's confusion in the same way.
He knew the woman in front of him very well and knew how to make her speechless.
"So, do you think the Dark Lord didn't ask these questions? If he didn't get a proper answer, why would I be sitting here talking to you?"
"Bella, that's enough!" Narcissa stopped her sister in time.
"Severus, these words shouldn't have been said to anyone who wasn't there, but I really can't help it."
"Lucius was sent to prison. You are his old friend and one of the most trusted people of the Dark Lord. If it were you, you would definitely be able to help me, right?"
Snape thought for a moment before saying, "The Dark Lord's word is law, and if he didn't ask you to tell me, you'd better not say anything."
"But you are lucky, I am also one of the people who know about the plan, although I can't change the Dark Lord's mind."
"However, I might be able to help Draco in another way."
There was renewed hope in Narcissa's eyes. And just when she was about to agree, Bellatrix's voice sounded.
"It's nice to say, but in the end you could make an excuse like you're trying your best, unless you can make an oath."
The two looked at the crazy woman in the corner at the same time.
Bellatrix said triumphantly: "Make an unbreakable vow, otherwise we won't believe a single word of yours."
Narcissa also looked at Snape at this moment. It would be great if the two could make an unbreakable vow.
Seeing Snape's silence, Bellatrix smiled sarcastically.
Just when she was about to open her mouth to mock Snape, she heard the other party say flatly: "Fine!"
"What?" Bellatrix said in surprise.
Narcissa was also surprised, but there was more than surprise in her eyes.
"Perhaps we can use your sister's wand" Snape said, holding out his right hand.
The hands of the two were tightly held together. Then Bellatrix placed the wand in the middle of both hands, and she was still surprised until now.
Just at this time, Narcissa spoke.
"Severus Snape, will you take care of my son Draco while he tries to fulfill the Dark Lord's will?"
"I will." Snape replied without hesitation.
A thin but very bright tongue of fire flew from the tip of Bellatrix's wand.
It looked like a fiery red wire, tightly entwining the hands of the two.
"Severus, are you willing to do your best to keep Draco from harm?"
"I am willing." He answered without hesitation again and a second tongue of fire appeared.
It intertwined with the first one, binding their hands tightly.
"Severus, if Draco is unable to proceed, are you willing to fulfill the Dark Lord's wishes in his place?"
Snape was silent for a moment, a complicated look flashing through his empty eyes.
Under the watchful eyes of the two sisters, he slowly said: "I am willing."
The third flame appeared, and the unbreakable vow was completed.
…
Little Hangleton.
Lucas looked at the sunlight outside the window and said, "I've already seen it. Tom still doesn't know that the Horcrux he hid in a cave close to that cliff has been destroyed."
"Aren't you already planning to tell Potter about the Horcrux? Then take him to that place."
Lucas told the Headmaster in detail how to perform this scene well.
The old bee is also an old drama queen.
Lucas only needed to say a few words, and the old man understood immediately.
Even when he heard his complete death process, he still showed relish.
It's just that when he heard that it would be Draco Malfoy who killed him, his brows furrowed tightly together.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"That kid Malfoy isn't really that bad, and I know he must still be in touch with you."
"Change it to someone else, even if it is a plan, letting him kill me… it is too cruel for a child."
Lucas had expected this to happen a long time ago, so he chuckled lightly and said, "Don't worry, someone will make a move by then."
Dumbledore looked suspiciously at the boy by the window. He knew that he could see the future.
And he also knows that the future will not change easily. But he really didn't want Draco Malfoy to pay the price of taking his life, so he intends to try to change the future.
Dumbledore glanced at Lucas again and decided to hide it for now.
But what he couldn't see was that Lucas, who had his back turned to him, had his eyes turn completely golden at the moment. It looked like a misty golden river was flowing in his pupils.
The two ended their conversation and Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts alone.
Looking at Harry standing at the door of his office, he turned his furrowed brows into a gentle expression.
"Have you been waiting long? Come with me."
Dumbledore led Harry into the office.
Seeing the sad look on the boy's face, he smiled and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Professor Dumbledore, Umbridge came to see you just now, and I saw her expression, as if she was planning to trouble you."
Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, and his brows were slightly furrowed. It seems that Umbridge came to him in a bad way.
