Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 565 Bold Guess

Malfoy Manor.

study.

Draco looked at the desk solemnly, his slightly narrowed eyes were full of suspicion.

At this time, the desk in front of him, just like Dumbledore's desk back then, was full of photos and small notes.

This is the person he sorted out, who is most likely to set up those formations, and at this time his eyes are falling on a newly added photo.

"squeak~"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Draco, who was in deep thought, was awakened. Before he could see who was coming, he put away the photo he had just added and put it in his arms.

And when he finished all this and raised his head to look at the door, he saw Lucius standing there with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Cough cough."

Draco coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, "It's a top secret document, Father, what do you want me to do?"

The doubt on Lucius' face gradually disappeared, but he did not step in, but still stopped at the door, looking at his son from a distance.

Draco looked at him firmly, until Lucius shook his head with a sigh.

"It's nothing, Draco, tomorrow is your sister's birthday, I want to tell you, don't forget to prepare a gift for her."

Lucius shook his head and finished speaking, then turned to leave.

But before he could close the study door again, Draco stopped him.

"Father, wait a minute."

There was some tension in Draco's voice, and his father's face was full of confusion.

What was it that made Draco so hesitant?
"You know what I've been up to lately, don't you, Father?" Draco asked again.

"Yes, it's not a big secret among the top Death Eaters to look for the person who tried to destroy that door." Lucius walked into the study and said in front of Draco.

"It's not a big secret, yes, father, you all know." Draco said incoherently, it seemed that he hadn't figured out what he wanted to say.

"The photo in your arms, Draco, do you want to ask me something related to that photo?" Lucius asked, pointing to Draco's chest.

"Uh……"

Draco became hesitant again, and seeing his expression change, Lucius also retracted his fingers.

"I can't guess what made you hesitate so much, Draco, but since you are a seeker, you have to speak out your appeal, if conditions permit." Lucius glanced at the photo on the desktop Said.

"Yes, my father."

Draco seemed to have finally gathered his thoughts, but it seemed that he didn't have the idea to take out the photo, "I made a bold enough guess that it was someone who had little reason to doubt, and when I doubted him, he Discover……"

"Is that person His Majesty?" Lucius asked interrupting his son.

Draco froze for a moment, then shook his head vigorously.

"Since it's not His Majesty, Draco, you can doubt even me." Lucius gave his thoughts without hesitation.

"But……"

Draco opened his mouth, but only spit out these two words.

Lucius frowned slightly, his eyes carefully scanned every expression change on his son's face.

Then, he suddenly thought of something, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"It's Hermione?"

This question seemed to startle Draco, making him twitch uncomfortably.

"Really her?"

This time, there was an unconcealable surprise in Lucius' voice.

The first time I asked, I was just skeptical, but the second time, although I was surprised, I was quite sure.

Draco nodded painfully, and slowly took out the photo Hermione gave him from his arms.

It was a photo under the pyramid. Hermione in a wizard robe looked dignified and generous, and she smiled slightly at the camera.

"You received this photo a year ago, didn't you?" Lucius took the photo and put it in the vacant place on the desk.

"Yes, but I never suspected her, so..."

"There is a proverb in the East, it is dark under the lamp, which refers to this situation."

There was no reproach in Lucius' words, but a sense of understanding.

After he put the photo back in its original place, he went to the opposite side of the desk and looked at the small note next to the photo from Draco's perspective.

That was Hermione's walking track, which was almost the same as the arrangement of the formation.

"Yes, I received her photo before the first abnormal noise came out." Draco said with deep self-blame, "I didn't expect it to be her at all."

"It's not confirmed yet, is it?" Lucius said in relief, but the expression on his face was extremely serious.

He was still paying close attention to the time points on the notes, and the expression on his face became more serious as his eyes moved.

"I think you need to see His Majesty, the sooner the better."

Without waiting for Draco to speak, Lucius spoke again, this time, there was no sense of relief in his words.

Draco hesitated briefly, but then his eyes became firm.

"Okay, father, I'll go right away."

He stood up, picked up his wand and rolled it on the table, and all the photos and notes were stored in the notebook unfolded beside him.

Then he stood up, silently picked up the wizard robe on the hanger beside him and put it on his body.

Lucius looked at his silent son and patted him on the shoulder, but he didn't say any words of relief.

"It's not necessarily her, is it, father?"

Draco, who walked to the door with the closed notebook, couldn't help but stop and asked without looking back.

Lucius froze for a moment, obviously he didn't expect his son to ask him this question.

During the brief silence, before he could give an answer, Draco's figure had disappeared in front of the study door.

Perhaps, what Draco wanted was not an answer, but a comfort.

……

Fort Gunter.

"You can't see the Dark Lord yet, Draco, you need to wait a while."

Bella stopped Draco who wanted to go directly into the study, looked at him with concern for a while and said, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, Aunt Bella, I have very important news for His Majesty." Draco said with averted eyes.

Bella still had some doubts in her eyes, but she didn't ask further.

Compared with the slightly crazy woman in Azkaban, she who is now happily married is obviously much gentler, especially after the birth of her daughter with Voldemort.

Yes, the baby girl Voldemort had named Delphi Riddle had been born for some time now, and Bella was holding her at this moment.

"What is Your Majesty doing?" As if to change the subject, Draco asked with a glance at the baby girl who was held in Bella's arms.

"Some things on the runes are very complicated. He can't care about anything except Delphi now."

Bella said with some dissatisfaction, the resentment flashed between her eyebrows and eyes, "Wait a while, Draco, you can go in after the red light in the study dissipates, otherwise it may be dangerous."

Draco nodded after hearing this, but instead of teasing Delphi as usual, he sat down on a chair beside him and waited quietly.

Bella obviously also saw that he had something on his mind, so she took Delphi away, leaving Draco a space to think for himself.
