Hogwarts in the shadows

Hephis released his aura.

The Dementor badge in his mind seemed to sense this power as well, and began to rotate slowly involuntarily.

Lestrange seemed to be under some great stimulation.

Her body began to shake violently and convulse uncontrollably.

She moved away from Hephes in fear and huddled in a dark corner of the cell.

"Bellatrix Lestrange." Although Hephes' voice was not loud, it sounded clearly in her ears.

Lestrange trembled all over, his eyes filled with fear and despair.

She murmured to herself: "Don't come over here, please, don't come over here..."

"It seems that you don't really want to die." Hephis raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"You...don't come over here!" Lestrange screamed and shrank into the corner again.

Lucius watched this scene with pity. The once proud and beautiful black swan had now become so crazy.

But he did not dare to plead for Lestrange, as he had also heard that Lestrange had killed Hephes' mother.

The son wanted to avenge his mother, and no one could stop him.

Hephis looked at Lestrange's trembling figure and suddenly felt bored.

He turned to Lucius beside him, "Lucius, is there anyone else in the Strange family?"

"Rodolphus Lestrange, Bella's husband, is also in prison."

Lucius replied, "The others are just distant relatives."

"Lucius, these people all have vaults in Gringotts, right?" Hephis continued to ask.

"Yes." Lucius nodded, "You want to..."

"It would be a waste to leave it to them, wouldn't it?" Hephis shrugged.

"But the goblins won't agree. They hope that all these people will die in prison so that they can embezzle their assets..."

Lucius was interrupted by Hephaestus before he could finish.

"Take their keys and go to Gringotts. If they know what's best for them, fine. If not..."

He paused, his tone revealing a hint of cold murderous intent, "Gringotts will become the next Azkaban."

Lucius was shocked when he heard this, and he looked at Hephes in disbelief.

He's already planning on taking over Gringotts right after taking over Azkaban. He's even crazier than Voldemort back then!

He swallowed and nodded with difficulty.

Theodore, on the other hand, looked at Hephes with golden eyes and flushed face.

This is the one he follows, this is his master!

He felt the blood in his body was boiling, as if it would burst through his veins at any time.

He wanted to rush into Gringotts immediately and kill all those goblins.

"Lestrange, don't worry, I won't let you die so easily."

Hephis looked at Lestrange's horrified face and said, "I have prepared a good place for you."

"I...I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere!"

Lestrange screamed, but her body spasmed involuntarily.

She repeated in horror, "I won't go, I won't go..."

Hephis was no longer interested in dealing with her. After all, it was boring to threaten a woman.

Suddenly a black hole appeared behind him, and then eight ghostly black figures walked out of the black hole.

They stood behind him respectfully and solemnly like waiters in the dark night.

Hephis waved his sleeves and said, "Go to work!"

The shadows sprang into action immediately.

They passed through the bars of the cells like ghosts, knocked out every prisoner skillfully and cut out their shadows.

The black hole behind Hephes is the spatial ability he accidentally gained after his nirvana rebirth.

When he entered Nirvana, the small bag he carried with him turned into ashes. He thought the small bag had disappeared completely.

However, when he habitually wanted to take something out of his bag, the black hole appeared beside him.

He was so scared at the time, thinking someone was going to attack him.

But unexpectedly, the items he needed flew out of the black hole and fell steadily into his hands.

Hephis used his magical sense to probe inside, and found that everything in his original bag was there.

He was very surprised, not only because of the appearance of the portable space.

It was also because the three books from the Heart of the World were also well placed inside.

He began to study the space and found that its extent seemed boundless.

As long as he wants, the whole world seems to be able to be contained in it.

But the prerequisite is that he has to have the ability.

In addition, black hole space can store more than just living things.

It can also be opened at will within a range of fifty feet around him, which is very convenient.

As for the eight black shadows, they were not separated from Hephaestus' shadow.

Instead, he erased the original consciousness in other people's shadows and injected his own thoughts.

A carefully crafted shadow army that completely obeys his orders.

From then on, Hephes' dream of forming an army by himself was no longer an unattainable fantasy.

And this is the key to his determination to take over Azkaban.

The shadows of those prisoners will become part of his shadow army.

Soon Azkaban fell into silence and all the prisoners fainted on the ground.

And those shadow soldiers returned to Hephes with the collected shadows.

He handed the shadow directly to Theodore and gave instructions.

"Theodore, these shadows are in your hands. Find out the useful information in them, especially the clues about the Gringotts key, and then sort it out and tell Lucius."

Theodore took the shadow respectfully, his eyes gleaming with fanaticism, "Yes, Master."

Hephaestus did not shy away from Lucius in everything he did.

It's time for this proud white peacock to make a choice.

The shadow soldiers returned to the black hole space.

Hephaestus took Lucius and Theodore away from Azkaban.

After returning to the Blaine mansion, Theodore couldn't wait to start devouring those shadows.

Hephaestus thought for a moment and threw him another unicorn shadow.

"Most prisoners in Azkaban have twisted minds, and I don't want you to be affected by their madness. This unicorn's shadow can help you stay sane."

Theodore himself is a person who goes to extremes, and he doesn't want Theodore to be driven crazy by the shadows of these people.

Theodore swallowed the unicorn's shadow in one gulp without hesitation.

However, in a flash, he noticed something unusual.

His body quickly secreted a sticky, dark oil.

The next moment his face turned red.

He clenched his teeth and squeezed his hips tightly, "Master, I..."

Hephis showed a triumphant smile on his face, "Go quickly!"

Theodore felt as if he had been pardoned, and ran desperately towards the bathroom in the most awkward posture possible.
