Science students at Hogwarts

The weather in Cairo was terrible and the air was filled with yellow dust.Pedestrians passing by covered their mouths and noses with headscarves as they hurried on.

A thin, average-looking brown-haired man walked into the hotel quickly, and the front desk greeted him warmly.

"Jack! Are you okay? I mean, the weather is really bad today. Being British, you can't stand this dust storm. How about a turban? It's only fifteen kats!"

The man declined his offer, and he endured the discomfort and returned to his room.

As soon as he entered the house, he looked around the house in disgust, and once again tried to use the cleaning spell to clean the moldy curtains and black dirt.

Soon, he gave up the idea.He took out a suitcase, carefully cast a spell around it, and got inside.

This person is Lucius Malfoy.

The reason why he changed his appearance and traveled thousands of miles to Egypt was entirely because of the Dark Lord's treasure.

The Dark Lord's origin in the Gaunt family is no secret in the eyes of purebloods.

The Burke family ordered their men to lead a group of dark wizards to Great Hangleton. They were overjoyed by the layers of traps laid by the Dark Lord. Everyone firmly believed that the Dark Lord's treasure was here.

Despite the heavy losses, Old Bock remained unmoved. He put all his wealth on this huge gamble. Soon, he gathered people to continue exploring.

Lucius was originally sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. While he was secretly annexing the forces in Knockturn Alley, he was silently paying attention to the whereabouts of the Horcrux.

But something unexpected happened, and I don't know who leaked the news. For a while, the remaining Death Eaters, the dark wizards of Knockturn Alley, and even forces from other countries joined the fight.

The Bock family, which was already severely weakened, was unable to cope with it. According to their assumptions, the huge amount of Dark Lord's treasure was enough to deal with this crisis.

However, who would have thought that there would be some junk in the old Gaunt house with many obstacles?

Old Bock was dumbfounded, and all the forces were also dumbfounded. Everyone thought that the Bock family had secretly hidden the treasure.

Old Bock was really a dumb man who couldn't tell the truth. After several fights, he fled back to Knockturn Alley in embarrassment.

Just as all forces were staring at Knockturn Alley with eager eyes, Lucius got a piece of definite news - the last survivor of the Bock expedition came to Egypt with something.

Lucius hurriedly told Dumbledore about this matter. Just when he thought that the matter was over, he could happily watch the show and take over Knockturn Alley.

The white wizard said: This matter is of great importance, and I have no one else to use. So, you can go there yourself!

Lucius immediately understood that the White Wizard did not want the Malfoy family to have more say in Knockturn Alley, and he was still worried about himself. He was nominally looking for Horcruxes by himself, but he might have followed him secretly.

He immediately decided to go to Egypt secretly, making sure to make himself miserable so that Dumbledore would trust him more and stop tempting him every day.

Who knew Lucius actually stayed in this hellish place like Egypt for more than ten days?

The kid was as slippery as a loach. Lucius followed him to several cities and finally determined that he planned to sell the things in Cairo.

The food and shelter along the way made Lucius, who had always been pampered and pampered, extremely embarrassed. He originally planned to act a little embarrassed to Dumbledore, but he didn't expect that he would actually fake it.

He thought more than once: When I go back, Sissi and the two children may not recognize me.

To make matters worse, while he was away, Draco was seriously injured at Hogwarts.

Although the Malfoy family quickly counterattacked under the command of Narcissa, John and others, some keen people still smelled something unusual from clues.

They followed the clues and discovered something strange in Egypt, and sent some people to test it.

Lucius was vaguely aware of these anomalies. However, in order to hide, he only kept in contact with Dumbledore at fixed times. He was not sure what happened, so he could only act more cautiously.

This made him even more miserable. Fortunately, he finally contacted the team member. After several trials, the two decided to interview.

On this day, Lucius followed the team member's request and came to a tavern in Cairo.

After several rounds of negotiations, both of them were very satisfied. They agreed to come here at night and pay the money and deliver the goods.

Lucius was not worried at all about the other party's plan to take advantage of others. On the one hand, he was fully prepared before coming, and even brought the family's trump card; on the other hand, he knew that Dumbledore's people would not let anything happen to him.

In the evening, he calmly went to the appointment.

Cairo is very noisy at night.

The streets were crowded with people, the Veelas were dancing seductively, the sound of galleons came from the dark shop, and there were also evil wizards selecting the fat sheep tonight.

Lucius ignored this and made his way through the crowd, heading straight for tonight's destination.

When he arrived outside the tavern, he noticed that something was wrong. It was too quiet here without him. He carefully took out his wand and cast a disillusionment spell on himself, holding the family necklace tightly in his hand.

He pushed open the door, and the smell of blood hit his face. The lights in the tavern were bright, but there was no one alive, whether it was the boss, the bartender, or the customers, they all died.

When he arrived at the agreed-upon location on the third floor, everything was gone. The team member fell in a pool of blood, and the blood had not completely coagulated.

Lucius only had one thought in his mind: run!He was about to apparate away from here, but found that the place was enchanted. He activated the necklace without hesitation and returned to the preset location.

When things have reached this point, Lucius no longer intends to participate.

A person who could silently kill a person in a tavern in a busy city was definitely not an ordinary person. He didn't want to make such an enemy for his family at all.

Adhering to the principle of giving away someone if he couldn't beat him, he contacted Dumbledore, who asked him to wait where he was. In less than half an hour, the white wizard had arrived at Lucius' side.

Lucius secretly rolled his eyes. He was a little angry when he thought that the white wizard might have seen his embarrassment these days, and he stabbed the white wizard a few times.

Dumbledore was not annoyed either. He was stroking his beard happily. After listening to Lucius's story, his expression became more and more serious.

Seeing that the situation was urgent and the Dark Lord's Horcrux had disappeared, Lucius simply put aside the conversation and asked Dumbledore to ask the people who followed him.

Dumbledore's face looked a little bad, and he shook his head slightly, "I couldn't contact him before he came here."

Things are really bad this time!

The two spent a lot of effort in Cairo to find the unconscious Bill Weasley.

Lucius thought to himself: It seems that Dumbledore believes in the Weasley family the most.

He snorted coldly and stood aside without saying a word, ready to listen to Weasley's story.

After it became clear that Bill was not as shameless as Dumbledore, he glanced at Lucius with some embarrassment and stumbled about his experience.

Unfortunately, Bill had no idea what was going on. His last impression was that he was following the team member and then lost consciousness.

Dumbledore thought for a while, then motioned to Bill to leave first, and then he told Lucius apologetically about Draco.

Lucius's anger almost burned away his sanity.

"Dumbledore! The only thing I ask of you is to protect Draco and Elios! But now, what have you done? In the safest Hogwarts in the world, Draco was beaten by a third-year student Injured! And Elios had to duel with him for his brother!"

Lucius, who had returned to his original appearance, felt a strong sense of oppression. Anger burst out from his eyes, and he clenched the wand in his right hand, eager to hit the white wizard with Avada Kedavra!

"And you just watched! Why didn't you stop them? Did Durmstrang get any punishment afterwards? I guess not! What about that loser Lockhart? You wouldn't just give Slytherin a few points to commend them. Bar?"

Dumbledore was speechless, in fact, he didn't even give Slytherin a point.

"Damn it! I risked my life to serve you in Egypt, but you couldn't even protect my children! Dumbledore, you should be lucky that they are okay, otherwise I will give everything to make everyone pay the price!"

Lucius left without looking back, leaving Dumbledore standing alone.

After returning home, Lucius quickly received Dumbledore's compensation - half of Knockturn Alley's forces.

At the same time, Andre's family also paid a heavy price. They also revealed that this was actually a misunderstanding and was entirely caused by Crabbe's instigation.

Although the children were fine, Lucius still criticized them severely. This time Narcissa stood by him, and the brothers reluctantly admitted their mistakes and promised not to make them again.

As time went by, his relationship with Dumbledore gradually eased.

On Halloween, Dumbledore invited him to visit Hogwarts, where he saw another of the Dark Lord's Horcruxes, or rather, former Horcruxes.

Lucius held the soul identification needle passed down from the Black family. The pointer suddenly moved to the top, and then returned to zero.

This suggests that the ring containing the Resurrection Stone once had a soul, and now it is empty, with the Dark Lord's soul gone.

Lucius's expression was ugly. Once that person was resurrected, everything he had now would be wiped out.

"Dumbledore, was this how it was when you got it? It didn't even have any protection measures!" Lucius was a little unwilling to give up.

"Yes, it was like this when I found it in the United States. I didn't expect it to have no protection measures." Dumbledore looked in a good mood, as if he didn't care that the man was about to return.

Lucius couldn't stay any longer. He hurriedly said goodbye to Hogwarts, without even having time to look at Elios and the others.

Dumbledore sat in the shadows, looking a little mysterious. The sunlight passed through the window and gently fell on the table, illuminating the dark branches, the shiny cloth and the ring.
