Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 186 Blame Dumbledore

Lucius Malfoy could enter the school, of course, not just by sending those magic items.

What really made him step here was the board's distrust of Dumbledore.

You know, the last time a Hogwarts student died was 49 years ago, and half a century has passed.

When such a big event happened, of course someone from the board of directors had to come to the school to have a look and stay there for a long time, so it was not a big problem.

That's why Dumbledore didn't stop him - he couldn't stop the board's request, especially since the request wasn't too much.

This gave Lucius the opportunity to act in the castle. The first thing he did was to take away the potion book hidden in the Room of Requirement by Voldemort.

Put this book in the house and hide it at the first time, so that he really had time to integrate into Hogwarts.

"Who doesn't like Hogwarts?" he said at a welcome dinner attended by a handful of professors. "We've all read here, haven't we?"

Several professors who had a good relationship with him responded with a smile.

"You can be like us, Mr. Malfoy."

Gilderoy Lockhart licked his face and flattered him, "The Malfoy family has always supported Hogwarts. You and your family are the heroes of Hogwarts."

No one wanted to cater to him. Professor Lockhart seemed to tell a particularly cold joke, which made everyone a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Hogwarts will always belong to everyone. Even if there is no Malfoy family, someone must support it. Therefore, this is the glory of Malfoy, not the glory of Hogwarts. Come, let us wish Hogwarts more and more success." The better."

Lucius raised his glass, and everyone's emotions were mobilized, and they raised their glasses one after another.

Professor Lockhart smiled awkwardly and raised his glass together, but no one liked him.

Entering Hogwarts was his worst decision, his character had been ruined in class.

"Why didn't you see my junior, Snape?" Lucius asked everyone after drinking for three rounds.

"East Tower." Professor Trelawney said drunkenly, "I can always see him there these days, and I don't know what he is busy with."

Lucius smiled and said that he would visit the junior, and then continued to toast with everyone.

When the dinner was over, he rushed to the East Tower.

"Go on, Mr. Potter, with such power, it's not enough to tickle that person."

Behind the heavy wooden door, Snape's voice came, and Lucius stopped for a moment to listen.

"Crack."

The door was gently pushed open by him, and he saw Harry Potter holding his wand sideways, casting spells at Snape like fencing.

"Boom."

Snape flew the last spell and looked at Lucius at the door.

"Mr. Potter, come here today," Snape said.

"Okay, Professor."

Harry also saw Lucius, he said hello to him and left.

"Very creative swing, Severus. I've tried to fight with fencing, but it's too physically demanding. Can he do it?" Lucius asked as he entered the tower.

"We don't need to discuss this, Senior Malfoy, what do you want from me?" Snape asked sullenly.

"I just wanted to ask why you didn't come to my dinner."

Lucius' gaze swept across Snape's neck, which made Snape twist his neck unnaturally, "But now I want to know, who is that person in your sentence 'I can't tickle that person enough' , Who are you referring to?"

"You know who it is."

"I don't know." Lucius' eyes turned cold for the first time since entering the castle, "I need you to tell me."

"Lucius, are you forcing me?" Snape asked dissatisfied.

They have a good relationship, they have been in touch since school.

The wealthy Malfoy family saw Snape's talent early on, and they were willing to invest in Slytherin students.

Even when Snape joined the Death Eaters, he was also recommended by Lucius—the two were six years apart, but they had some friendship.

"I'm not forcing you, Severus, you know how much the Dark Lord likes you." Lucius said after throwing a spell on the wooden door behind him.

"Dare to mention that person's name at Hogwarts, you are not afraid of Dumbledore..."

"He's still on the board, Severus, I know his whereabouts, that's why I'm here." Lucius interrupted him, "Don't change the subject, give me an explanation, that person, is Who?"

Snape licked his lips, feeling a little parched.

"It's not someone, it's just an imaginary enemy, are you satisfied?" Snape said angrily.

"Crack."

Lucius twisted his cane, which made a crisp sound in the room.

Snape tightened his wand tightly and looked at Lucius coldly.

"Are you sure you want to do it here, Senior Malfoy?" Snape asked.

"uncertain."

Lucius made another "click" and tightened his cane, "You let me down, Junior Snape."

Snape was silent and did not speak, he understood what Lucius meant, but he had nothing to say about it.

"I hope we will not be enemies next time we meet." After Lucius finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Snape stopped Lucius, he hesitated and said, "It's that kid, he wants revenge."

"At the price of death?" Lucius asked with his back to Snape, "After losing Lily, are you going to lose those eyes you miss forever?"

Snape took a deep breath and glared at Lucius dissatisfied, but he didn't open his mouth to refute the other party's words.

"I can't persuade him, Harry is a very assertive kid." He said a little dejectedly.

"clatter."

The cane shook on the ground, and Lucius turned his head to look at Snape: "Of course you can't persuade him, just like you couldn't persuade the Dark Lord to go to Potter's house back then."

Lucius was not surprised that Snape had a pained expression on his face.

Ten years ago, he was Voldemort's most trusted second in command, and he knew everything about Death Eaters.

Among them, including the prophecy message delivered by Snape, and he begged Voldemort to let Lily go.

Even, before meeting Voldemort, Snape asked Lucius for help, asking how to save Lily - he looked like a headless chicken at that time, completely panicked.

"Respect what you should respect, do what you should do, Severus, if you can't guide Harry's thoughts, be prepared to lose again."

Lucius looked at the increasingly painful Snape, curled his lips and said, "I can't give you any more advice, Severus."

"No, senior, please tell me what to do, you always have a way, don't you?" Snape looked broken, he couldn't bear the pain anymore.

"Put the blame on Dumbledore, Snape, the Dark Lord has laid the groundwork." Lucius sneered, "You can refuse, but that will only make you taste the pain of loss again."

After finishing the words, Lucius turned around and walked out without further words.

In the tower, Snape collapsed against the wall in pain, his lips opened and closed feebly.

"Lily, Lily, what should I do..."

He spoke in a voice only he could hear.
