The Mysterious Return of Hogwarts

??

The warm red flame was like a shackle, imprisoning the dark whispers with light.

Neo was sitting in the restaurant. It was already late at night, but the two crystal candlesticks were held high by the invisible Dobby, so that Neo could clearly see the diary spread out on the table.

Lucius stood aside respectfully and kept it for more than ten years. He did not do any research on the black-covered book on the table. Just like his father taught him, caution keeps people away from bad luck.

Neo took out the quill, squeezed the ink tube, and a drop of ink fell on the notebook.

"Hello, my name is Tom Riddle, how did you find this diary?"

16-year-old Tom is so immature and naughty. It's a pity that he, who is locked up in his diary, doesn't know how famous he has become over the years. Otherwise, he would never say his name so casually.

"As one of the Horcruxes, inferior materials do not limit your wisdom, which is good."

Neo used magic to connect the ink, and a line of text on the title page appeared and disappeared.Lucius' eyes on the side glanced lower. He found that he had seen something he shouldn't have seen, but his curiosity couldn't stop popping out of his mind. He took another look, and another look. He couldn't help but see something. He took a peek at it animatedly.

Neo ignored his little move at all. Dumbledore had already left, and there was no one in the manor for him to be afraid of. He was so open-minded that he seemed to regard Lucius and his wife as brothers and sisters.

"Who are you? I can't understand you."

The diary was a little panicked, and after a while of silence, another line of words finally came out.

Neo ignored it and instead picked up a simple pocket watch on the table. He opened the cover with his fingers. On the dial were circles of gears that looked like annual rings with grains of silvery white sand embedded in the middle. It stood still, as if waiting for time. It will start moving when it comes.

He tried to twist the clockwork, but the gear never moved. Neo realized: "Until the debt I owe time is paid off, this alchemy tool cannot be used by me."

Drop it into the black journal.

"Little Tom, help me study this [Time Turner] carefully. I will allow you to continue to exist. Otherwise, they will be your fate."

Putting his finger on the paper of the diary, a wisp of memory was shared with the soul in the Horcrux. On the night of resurrection in Gaunt's old house, the scene of the other two Horcruxes being sucked to death made the pages of the notebook turn. Sound.

"who are you?!"

I am you, Tom.

This sentence was not spoken. The unknown is more frightening than the powerful. Neo, who is well versed in the way of fear, chose to use mystery to oppress Tom.

He pushed the notebook and pocket watch aside, and then looked at Lucius. He was very satisfied with the efficiency of this unfaithful servant.

The more useless someone is, the more they want to do their best on the surface. This is despicable human nature.

"Dear Lucius, I am glad that you took good care of what I entrusted to you."

Neo thought for a moment and then said, "Also, thank you for your gift."

"In the magic world, alchemical creations whose craftsmanship has been lost are all priceless. Therefore, I will not take this time turner for nothing. To be fair, you can make a request to me."

"As a smart person, I don't think I need to waste time explaining the meaning of this promise."

"Be bold in your request. I treat you as family!"

Neo stared at the other person with burning eyes, and his amiable smile was like an old father encouraging his incompetent child.

Lucius lowered his head even more, the Dark Lord's promise?

The past Death Eaters' memories came to the top of all the memories that I didn't want to look at. My cousins, Strange and Black, who were fanatically loyal to the Dark Lord... they were in Azkaban at the moment. Being tortured day after day and trying to atone for his past evil deeds means that he doesn't know enough about Eastern culture. Otherwise, he would have lamented the familiar phrase "When you go out, you always come back."

I want you bitch to set me free!

"It is Lucius's honor to serve the great Dark Lord. He dare not ask for any more rewards from his master. Yes, that's it."

Lucius's nostrils opened and closed, as if his sincere emotion was so intense that he couldn't control himself.

Hey, why don’t you believe me?

Neo sighed, this poor man didn't know how much rare kindness he missed. Because of Hagrid, a wealthy man, Neo no longer looked down on the Malfoy family's wealth. He was really ready to let this conservative platinum noble go. However, the damn enthusiasm in Lucius' words at this time was really hard for Neo to refuse.

"Haha, okay, I'm glad you think so, then I'll take some more."

Neo raised his hand, and Lucius immediately took a step forward, the oily hair beside his face swaying, covering his expression at this time.After patting his shoulder, Neo took out the wand in his arms, and [Insect Killer] was lifted up.

"Soul out of the body!"

The invisible Dobby was hit, and there was no time for surprise to appear on the house elf's numb face, which just showed how powerful Neo's curse was.

"Can actually... control house elves..."

Lucius was shocked. The three Unforgivable Curses may be powerful, but the Soul-Tampering Curse is a bit boring. Controlling souls can generally only be used against wizards or weak magical animals. Magical animals above xxxx level can basically do it. Directly resist it, let alone the naturally powerful elves.

The Dark Lord is becoming more powerful, where is the hope for light?

"This little thing can help me with one of my dark magic researches."

Neo waved his wand, and Dobby's thin body crawled on the ground, crawled to Neo's side and kissed his shoes.

"That's its honor. As long as this dirty little thing can be useful to its master!"

Lucius was reluctant to part with the useful house elves. These ugly servants were the trophies that the ancestors of the family had won through bloodshed and sacrifice in the war to quell the goblins, but what could he say.

"Lucius, I told you, all the Death Eaters are my brothers and sisters...even Peter Pettigrew."

Neo put away the [Insect Slayer] and took out a new wand with a bird and snake feather as the core.

"Many people felt that I was too cruel in the past. Over the years, I have reflected on myself... They would say this, of course, because they did not understand me."

"But I'm too busy. There is a whole British magical world waiting for me to rule. I don't have that much time to talk to them and let them know me. This is a pity."

"Lucius, do you think that I promised to bring power, status, wealth, and strength to all the pure-blood nobles... But not only have I failed to do so, I have also continued to ask for tributes from you... ."

Lucius pretended that he didn't hear these nonsense and thought that since I voted for you, the Malfoy family, I have gained nothing but caused a lot of trouble. But I won't say it and I dare not say it.
