Days to grind friendship at Hogwarts

After hearing Draco say this, Glenn was generally convinced that he had really decided to betray Voldemort.

As for the content of the plan, Riddle had already explained it as early as in the secret room. At this point, the magic of the Horcrux still exceeded Glenn's imagination.

Whether it is Voldemort in baby form or the soul fragments in the Horcrux, they are all part of him, independent of each other, but there are subtle connections between them. In other words, whether it is Voldemort himself who completes the resurrection, or one of them

For any Horcrux, the Dark Lord will eventually appear.

This also means that his original idea of ​​provoking dissatisfaction between the Horcrux souls and Voldemort's main soul and making Voldemort "turn against himself" is actually not feasible.

But it doesn't matter. As long as Voldemort still uses Harry's blood to complete the resurrection ceremony, there is still a way to completely eliminate him.

Draco continued to describe Voldemort's complete plan. Harry had not heard Riddle's complete description in the Chamber of Secrets before, so he listened very carefully.

Qiu looked at Glenn quietly, with a somewhat questioning look in his eyes. Glenn nodded, indicating that he was not lying about this matter.

"You mean, Voldemort has a grudge against you and your father because of the failure of this plan?" Harry thought for a moment and asked.

Draco shook his head slightly: "Not entirely. In fact, when the Dark Lord laid out this plan, he already distrusted my father. In order for me to fully help him implement this plan, he even threatened my parents' safety.

I."

"Why?" Ron asked, "Don't your family have a close relationship with him?"

"Maybe it's because my dad was trying to distance himself from him at the time," Draco said. "Remember that time he fought with your dad at Flourish and Blotts?"

"Of course! If the crowd hadn't been too dense, I would have rushed up to beat him!" Ron replied without thinking.

"Although I don't have that memory, Riddle told me in the diary that my father actually wanted to take advantage of the fight and stuff the diary into your sister's pile of old textbooks. It was solemnly entrusted to him by the Dark Lord.

Let him keep it safe."

"Stuff it into Ginny's old textbook?" Ron didn't understand for a moment.

The clever Hermione quickly understood and explained to Ron: "If it is something that the mysterious person values, it must be a dark magic item. If I guessed correctly, Lucius Malfoy wants to borrow this

A chance to get rid of that thing, and at the same time give your father the crime of hiding a dark magic item."

"That's pretty much it. In addition to the diary, my father also sold many things related to the Dark Lord to Borgin Bock in order to prepare for a surprise inspection by the Ministry of Magic." Draco said, "That's why

, the Dark Lord saw that my father was trying to distance himself from his relationship, so he was very dissatisfied with him."

"What happened next?" Harry asked, "You couldn't have been lying in St. Mungo's for several months, right?"

Draco shook his head and said: "That's not true. It's just that the Dark Lord escaped too hastily and left many traces, which led to my father being taken away by the Aurors. Our family also accepted it for a while.

Due to the review, it was not until a few days ago that I was allowed to return to Hogwarts."

"If that's the case, why didn't the Daily Prophet have any report on this matter?" Hermione asked with a frown.

"Don't trust the newspapers too much," Draco said. "Most of the time, the Daily Prophet is under the control of the Ministry of Magic. If it is news that the Ministry of Magic does not want to come out, it is difficult for you to read it in the newspapers.

.”

"Since you said that your whole family has been examined, what is the final result?" Ron asked.

"In order not to be imprisoned in Azkaban, and not to implicate me, my father paid a lot of wealth. Most of the collections in the Malfoy family vaults went into the pockets of the Ministry of Magic, and many family businesses were also taken over by the Ministry of Magic.

To put it simply, our family’s wealth is only the ancestral manor and a few Galleons to support our lives.”

The young master had a wry smile on his face. Strictly speaking, he could no longer be called a young master.

Hearing what he said, Ron actually showed a bit of a "big revenge will be avenged" smile.

"If that's the case, it shouldn't make those Slytherins avoid you like the plague, right?" Harry thought for a while and asked again.

"Of course." Draco nodded, "If we just pay some wealth, with the Malfoy family's heritage and connections, it won't take long to make a comeback. But in fact, the crisis we face is far greater than imagined.

"

"Oh?" Glenn raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you tell us what kind of crisis it is."

"After my father was arrested this time, although the news was not published by the Daily Prophet, the pure-blood family had many informants in the Ministry of Magic, and it quickly reached their ears. Because this matter is related to dark magic,

Coupled with the possibility that the Dark Lord might be involved, they were all afraid of being implicated, so they quickly drew a clear line with us. Even Crabbe and Goyle, two small families who relied on us to make their fortunes, are now completely cut off.

to connect with our family.”

Draco said and couldn't help but sigh.

"Moreover, this is only a superficial crisis. If it were just like this, maybe I wouldn't have to seek help from you and Dumbledore..."

"What's the deeper crisis?" Harry asked.

"You may not know that during that surprise inspection, they not only found traces of dark magic, but also an Auror almost had a face-to-face encounter with the Dark Lord. According to my father, with the Dark Lord's suspicious character, it was very difficult for him to

There may be suspicions that we tipped off the Ministry of Magic."

"In other words, you two are not on the same page now?" Ron said with some gloating.

"That's it." Draco sighed and said, "As you know, many pure-blood families are secretly supporters of the Dark Lord. In other words, he also has a lot of informants in the Ministry of Magic, but because he has

My dad no longer trusts us, so we don’t know who he got in touch with. In order not to be completely regarded as a traitor, my dad didn’t dare to reveal the return of the Dark Lord to anyone. But even so, in the eyes of the Dark Lord, I’m afraid

He is no different from a real traitor..."

Glenn thought about Draco's words carefully and found that he was right. This was indeed a huge crisis for the Malfoy family.

If Voldemort is really regarded as a traitor, when he completely regains his strength, I am afraid that Malfoy will be the first to suffer, just like Karkaroff in the original book who fled to the ends of the earth but still lost his life.
