Harry Potter and the Beginning: Azkaban

Chapter 62 Preparation before action

After hearing this familiar voice, Lucius trembled all over and slowly turned his head.

When Lucius saw the familiar yet unfamiliar figure, his pupils shrank slightly.

He didn't expect that Tom was so bold that he dared to show up at the door of Hogwarts so brazenly. Wasn't he afraid of being discovered?

"It's you. I didn't expect you to really come back, my great master!"

Tom smiled, exuding a terrifying aura, and said slowly:

"Malfoy, what are you doing here today? I saw you asked Megan to go to the principal's office. What happened?"

"This……"

Although Lucius didn't want to answer this question, he was very afraid of Tom in his heart and did not dare to refute what Tom said.

However, Lucius did not tell everything, he only mentioned what happened at Gringotts.

"This is……"

Tom frowned. Although Lucius explained everything clearly, he felt that Lucius was hiding something from him.

"Oh, is there anything else besides this?

Or, did Megan tell you anything?"

"No!"

Lucius shook his head. He was very sure that Megan did not say anything to him.

"Hello, Mr. Tom, how are you? How about letting me answer this question?"

At this moment, Megan's voice suddenly sounded from not far away.

Tom was not surprised to hear this voice, but Lucius was very surprised.

If it comes to that, not everyone can call Tom. Generally speaking, most people call Tom Voldemort.

It would have been fine if she just called Tom's name, but what surprised Lucius the most was that Megan seemed to know Tom's true identity and they seemed to have a good relationship.

Tom turned around, looked at Megan with a smile, and said very politely:

"Oh, my friend, what brings you here?"

At this point, Lucius wondered if he was hallucinating.

How is this possible, how could this happen!

It's incredible that a proud man like Tom can get along well with others.

Megan grinned, looked at Tom with a fake smile, and said:

"Mr. Tom, please don't play dumb. You've made me bear the blame. You should know that I don't like trouble. Tell me how to settle this matter!"

Tom raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't know how Megan confirmed that he was the one who did the Gringotts incident.

But he did not deny it. Given his current status, he was not going to deny it.

"Oh, so, then tell me how I can satisfy you."

Megan was very satisfied with Tom's attitude. After hearing what he said, her expression instantly became much better.

Touching her chin, Megan pretended to be thinking and said:

"There is a saying, I wonder if Mr. Tom has heard it before."

Tom was a little confused and didn't know what Megan was going to do, but he was not too afraid of Megan.

"Oh, what is it? Tell me about it."

Megan's eyes flashed with light, as if she remembered something, and said:

"When I was traveling around the world, I heard a saying in an ancient Eastern country: If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who created the problem. I think this saying makes a lot of sense. Mr. Tom, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Tom nodded and said with deep feeling:

"If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who created the problem. This is a very good saying, and I think it makes sense."

Tom understood what Megan meant. It was simply that this matter implicated him. Although Megan could not solve the problem, he could solve the person who created the problem.

At this time, Tom was just beginning to repair his soul, and it was far from the time for him to fall out with Megan.

What's more, Tom has no idea what methods Megan has. He can't gamble, let alone conflict with Megan.

After thinking for a moment, Tom squinted his eyes and said hoarsely:

"Alas, this matter was caused by my lack of consideration, which affected Miss Megan. I don't know what you need me to do, so please tell me what to do. I will never shirk my responsibility if I can do it."

Seeing that Tom was so sincere and did not reveal his identity, Megan nodded with satisfaction.

Actually, this matter has little to do with Tom. Megan deliberately dragged it onto him.

Of course, this was also Megan's sudden idea. She wanted to see if Tom could continue to cooperate.

After all, it is not easy to find such a good tool.

"Well, I won't hide it from you, Mr. Tom.

I have an event tonight and need some help, but I don’t know…”

Megan didn't continue talking at this point, staring at Tom, meaning to let him figure it out himself.

Tom's eyes narrowed and he licked his lower lip with his long tongue.

Although Megan didn't mention any activities, Tom knew in his heart that she must be doing something bad, otherwise why would she want to ask him for help.

You have to know that his subordinates are all notorious Death Eaters, and there are no good people among them.

However, in order to win over a mysterious person like Megan, Tom agreed.

"Okay, I understand, Miss Megan. I still have manpower, but not too much."

Tom turned to look at Lucius who was in a daze and said:

“Lucius, go with Miss Megan tonight and gather some people to go with you.

Just follow Miss Megan's instructions, understand?"

Tom said this intentionally to test Lucius. After all, he had been missing for a long time, and it was inevitable that his former subordinates had other thoughts in their minds. This was a good opportunity to test them.

At this time, Lucius' brain was still frozen, and he wondered if he had set a trap for his son.

Looking at Megan, who was chatting and laughing with Voldemort, Lucius doubted whether his son could handle it.

Looking at the stunned Lucius who had no reaction, Tom frowned and secretly activated the curse mark.

In order to prevent his men from betraying him, Tom carved the Dark Mark on their bodies. This is a curse. When necessary, Tom can control this mark and make his men suffer.

The tingling sensation in his soul instantly woke Lucius up, causing him to gasp in pain.

"Sigh~"

Lucius did not dare to neglect and quickly prayed:

"I understand, I understand, please forgive me, Master!"

"Remember, there won't be a next time. Don't let your mind wander like you did today!"

"Yes, my great master, Lucius understands."

Hearing this, Tom was satisfied and took back his curse. Then he looked at Megan and said:

"Miss Megan, please take a look. If you don't believe me, how about I come with you tonight?"
