Study Days at Hogwarts

How to assassinate Dumbledore is no longer Draco Malfoy's business alone.

Especially after Snape pressured him, Voldemort almost acquiesced in their actions and allowed Draco Malfoy to use the power of other Death Eaters to get rid of his lifelong enemy-Albus. Dumbledore.

As for punishing the Malfoy family, it is simply not worth mentioning before killing Dumbledore.

Because once Snape fails, Voldemort will not be able to get rid of Dumbledore in a short period of time and complete a major comeback against the Ministry of Magic.

That meant his situation with the Death Eaters was about to get even worse.

No one can guarantee that the Death Eaters will remain loyal to him without breaking down after enduring a high-intensity campaign.

It has only been more than half a year since Scrimgeour took over as Minister of Magic. The original Death Eaters have suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Ministry of Magic.

Even if the Death Eaters have moved into the shadows, the current situation is still not good. After all, their enemies are not only the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix, but also an even more sinister and sinister prophecy master who is secretly targeting them. Some of them had originally moved closer. The dark wizard had already fled after realizing that the situation was not good.

Although Voldemort didn't care about the departure of those outsiders, nor the casualties of other Death Eaters, he had to pay attention to the force he had formed. Once he lost the support of the Death Eaters, it meant that he would become alone. When faced with the entire British magical world, he could only hide himself carefully like a rat in the sewer.

This is also the main reason why Voldemort acquiesced to other Death Eaters providing help to the Malfoys and to Snape's unauthorized participation in the assassination.

However, unlike Snape's confidence and calmness, others were not very optimistic about the assassination.

After all, the target is the famous Dumbledore. Even if the old man is really old, he is still a nightmare in the hearts of countless Death Eaters. No Death Eater would be stupid enough to think that Dumbledore is too old to lift the wand. .

Even if others give up joining this action, it won't actually have much impact, but Narcissa Malfoy is one of the few exceptions. Although she did not join the action to assassinate Dumbledore, she was worried about it. . Whether the Malfoy family can be reunited alive depends on whether the assassination of Dumbledore can be successfully concluded this time.

Once Draco fails in his assassination, even if he survives Dumbledore's hands, the Dark Lord's rage will completely engulf their family.

Even Lucius, who is currently imprisoned in Azkaban Prison, cannot escape his fate.

To this end, Narcissa would always take a lot of time to help Draco think of ways to improve the success rate of the plan. She even did not hesitate to spend a lot of galleons to let Bella invite reliable partners to join the assassination operation.

After ending her contact with Draco, Narcissa carefully put away the double mirror, stood up from the chair, left her room and walked to the hall, looking for help from her sister Bella.

Since Narcissa's husband Lucius was imprisoned in Azkaban Prison, her sister Bella has become the person she discusses matters with.

"Bella, I need your help!"

Looking at the empty hall, Narcissa gradually slowed down her voice. She quickly searched all the rooms in the stronghold, but still couldn't find Bella.

Is she out for something?

Narcissa was the only one left in the stronghold, which made her feel inexplicably irritated. She cast her eyes to the clock on the wall from time to time, constantly thinking about what Draco had just said to her.

Draco needs Felixir.

But where can she get the elixir of fortune?

Looking for Snape?

No, Draco had said that he had asked Snape for help when he contacted her through the double mirror.

But Snape didn't have a Felixir at all, and even if he started brewing the Felixir now, it was already too late, because it would take at least half a year to brew the Felixir, and now Draco didn't have half a year to make it. Went to splurge.

There are only a few months left until the end of this semester!

When Draco first mentioned the Felixir to her, Narcissa also tried to spend a lot of money to buy it on the black market, but no one sold it on the black market. Even if she was willing to pay several times the galleons, she would only attract a group of liars.

Narcissa has encountered liars more than once, and they have given most of those annoying guys the harshest punishment.

This is actually normal, because ordinary pharmacists are not qualified to touch this stuff, and few truly qualified pharmacist masters go back to brewing the elixir of fortune. Because once the brewing fails, the economic losses that will be incurred are extremely painful, which makes magical potions such as Fuling Elixir extremely scarce, with a price but no market.

When Narcissa was pacing back and forth in the hall irritably, there was a sound at the door of the stronghold, awakening Narcissa who was deep in thought.

Narcissa pulled out her wand and walked towards the door, and saw several people led by Bella walking into the stronghold holding a witch by the hair.

"What are you..."

Narcissa looked at her sister in confusion, wondering why Bella wanted to capture the young girl.

"This guy is that mudblood's classmate!"

Bella slammed the woman onto the carpet in the hall, pointed her wand at her and said to Narcissa, "I dare say she must know something about the Mudblood."

"me!"

As soon as the young witch opened her mouth, she was overwhelmed by a wave of heartbreaking pain, and screams echoed in the living room.

Bella looked happily at the witch who was screaming in pain under the torture of the Cruciatus Curse, and her originally bad mood became happy, as if it was not a scream, but a beautiful tune.

Since Bella's husband died in the last failed ambush and she was disfigured as a result, this cruel female Death Eater has become crazier and even more fond of using the Cruciatus Curse to torture others than before.

"Tell me, where is that Mudblood hiding? Where is the headquarters of the Defense Association!" Bella removed her wand, reached out and grabbed the curled up young woman's hair, and pulled her up from the ground.

"No, I really don't know," cried the young woman.

"Lie!" Bella growled sharply, "You can't lie to me."

"Let her finish talking about Bella. If you turn her into a madman, you won't get any news." Narcissa quickly stopped Bella's crazy behavior to prevent her from directly using the Cruciatus Curse to torture the woman in front of her into a madman. .

"Weasley did invite me, but... I refused at the time!" the young witch sobbed painfully, "I really don't know anything, I don't know!"

If Angelina were here, she would definitely recognize this woman as her former roommate Claire.

A pure-blood witch.

However, this poor pure-blood girl did not escape danger because of her blood.

"go on."

Narcissa realized that Bella had probably arrested the wrong person.

"I have nothing to do with Anderson. We are not familiar with each other at all. You should go find Shanna. Shanna Wilson is Anderson's good friend. You should go find her. She must know Anderson's whereabouts."

Claire couldn't understand why she suffered such misfortune, let alone why this crazy woman wanted to catch her. Is it just because she was in the same class as Albert Anderson?

But there were so many students in the same class as Albert Anderson, so why did she have to look for herself.

In fact, Bella arrested her because she was in the same class as Albert Anderson.

Another reason is that Bella doesn't understand Albert either and can't find any other friends except Fred and George.

Therefore, Bella tried her luck by catching a student of the same class. Even if she caught him wrongly, she could get more information she needed from him, and Claire was the unlucky one.

A ray of red light suddenly hit the young witch, causing her to faint to death.

"Narcissa, what are you doing!"

Bella suddenly turned her head to look at her sister, very dissatisfied with her actions.

"She didn't lie, and there's no point in killing her!" Narcissa lowered her voice, "I have something to discuss with you, it's very important."

"What's up?"

Bella glanced at the dark wizards around her and motioned for them to take the person to the dungeon and lock him up.

"Draco wants some Felixir. His repair of the disappearing cabinet is not going well. He hopes to use the Felixir to repair the disappearing cabinet." Narcissa waited until the dark wizards left before telling her why she was looking for Bella. reason.

"This sounds really ridiculous Narcissa, where do you want me to get the elixir from?" Bella scoffed sharply. She felt that her sister doted on Draco so much that it was simply unreasonable.

Since the last time Draco mentioned this matter, they had tried to use compound potions to disguise themselves as others and sneak into the black market, but in the end they had gained nothing.

"No, Bella, we need Felixir." Narcissa looked into Bella's eyes and said seriously: "If we can get some Felixir, the next plan to assassinate Dumbledore will definitely go much smoother. ”

"You really think that thing can bring us good luck." Bella thought her sister was crazy.

"Yes, I heard from Snape that Dumbledore will distribute elixirs to members of the Order of the Phoenix and let them use this potion when they are in danger." Narcissa said firmly: "I dare Said Felixir will definitely increase our probability of success."

"Okay, maybe you are right, but no one sells the elixir in the black market. You should know how rare the elixir is. This elixir needs to be brewed for half a year, and no one will sell it. "Bella was very dissatisfied with Narcissa trusting Snape so much. The guy was just using them and was not trustworthy at all.

"Others may not have it, but Slughorn must have some leftover. Draco once said that he saw Slughorn take out a small bottle of Felixir as a reward for Harry Potter." Narcissa Said in a lowered voice.

"But that old guy is staying in Hogwarts all the time now, how should we get the elixir from him?" Bella looked at Narcissa, with a sneer at the corner of her mouth, "Do you think we should break into Hogwarts?" Gwartz went to steal an old man's potion? Maybe it would be more reliable for you to let Draco try it himself."

"No, I want to visit other potion masters first to see if they have elixirs." Narcissa shook her head and said her plan, "Damocles, Eltida or Hetok Dagwal Si.”

"What if it's still not there?" Bella didn't think those people would store the elixir.

"Then go to France or other countries in Europe. I think as long as you spend some Galleons, you can always buy the Felixir." Narcissa is determined to get the Felixir. Compared with her family, the Galleons are nothing. What.

"We don't have that much time, you know." Bella said impatiently, "Besides, we may not be able to..."

"No, we have time." Narcissa looked at her sister and pleaded, "Killing Dumbledore is more important than anything else. You know, the Dark Lord wants Dumbledore dead."

"Even if we get the Elixir of Fortune, we may not be able to kill Dumbledore, right?" Of course Bella knew what Narcissa was thinking.

"Snape is confident, and I believe he will definitely succeed, but we hope to use Felixir to increase the probability of success." Narcissa knew how to persuade Bella, "Don't you want the plan to go smoother? Don't you hope Obtain the Dark Lord's forgiveness?"

"As long as we kill Dumbledore, the Dark Lord will forgive us," Narcissa continued to persuade, "Furthermore, once we lose Dumbledore's protection, the Dark Lord will definitely be able to successfully control the Ministry of Magic, and we will definitely have other ways to go." Deal with the mudblood who lost his helper."

"You are right, as long as I kill Dumbledore, the Dark Lord will forgive me, he will forgive me." Bella murmured.
