HP Shavings Wizard

Lucius received a strange letter from Hogwarts and opened it puzzled.

The letter was concise and the handwriting was sharp.

[Master Malfoy, regarding something you sent to Hogwarts through the Weasley children, I think it is necessary to come to the school to communicate. - Alison Grindelwald]

Big Malfoy's face changed and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the silver snake-head cane.

Of course he understood what Miss Grindelwald was referring to.

During the summer vacation, the Ministry of Magic began to search wizards' homes for any dark magic items, and Arthur, the head of the Weasley family, was one of the leaders.

He urgently disposed of a part of it in Knockturn Alley, then deliberately fought with his mortal enemy Weasley, and secretly stuffed the old item that Voldemort had entrusted to him for careful safekeeping - the diary - into the cauldron of Ginny, the youngest daughter of the Weasley family.

This way, the Malfoy family could get rid of Voldemort's old stuff and avoid being discovered to be related to Voldemort during a real search. It would also cause a lot of trouble for the pure-blood traitors who took over Voldemort's old stuff, and maybe even create chaos in Hogwarts and force Dumbledore to leave.

Everything was planned out, and someone did get into trouble at Hogwarts, and it was a famous person like Lockhart.

But this year, major events have happened one after another.

First, there were rumors that many people in Hogsmeade village witnessed the return of Voldemort, who had disappeared for more than ten years.

Then Grindelwald took over the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and the old devil became a permanent resident of Hogwarts.

Azkaban was also destroyed by Grindelwald and Dumbledore's daughter, all the Dementors disappeared, and the prisoners turned into zombies - although the Malfoy family had a hard time without their support after Voldemort disappeared, they still had some information channels to the Ministry of Magic.

This made Lucius hesitate, not daring to jump out and cause trouble for Dumbledore. Dumbledore was a good man who would abide by the rules, but Grindelwald and his daughter might have no taboos.

Now that something has happened, the blame has been put directly on him.

But it's not a big problem. After all, it was brought into Hogwarts by the Weasley family's youngest daughter, and there is no evidence to prove that the diary belongs to Malfoy.

Lucius felt a little relieved thinking about this.

But we still have to take the letter from Miss Grindelwald seriously, after all, Grindelwald and Dumbledore are behind her.

So, he wrote a letter to Dumbledore to make an appointment for a visit, using the excuse that the school director was inspecting school affairs, and then he Apparated to Hogwarts with his house-elf.

It was the Christmas holidays and the school was empty, with few people around. Big Malfoy went straight to the principal's office as if he knew the way.

……

Principal room.

Dumbledore sat behind his desk, replying to some old friends.

Alison acted like a dark wizard, with two skeletons following behind her. She sat on the sofa with Grindelwald.

Lucius, who had received the password from the reply letter in advance, came in, glanced around, and was secretly shocked.

I had heard that Miss Grindelwald was proficient in the Dark Arts, but I had never expected her to be so unscrupulous, playing with the dead, and Dumbledore did not stop her.

Dumbledore smiled, his expression normal, and his voice relaxed: "Lucius, good afternoon, take a seat."

Although he was mentally prepared in advance, Lucius still felt a little guilty when he really faced Dumbledore's bright and sharp blue eyes and flashing half-moon glasses.

He didn't show any expression, just nodded slightly and tried to sit down calmly.

He cursed the old fox in his heart, but did not waste time in maintaining polite conversation with the adults.

"Dumbledore, long time no see."

He glanced again at Grindelwald and his daughter over there.

"And Mr. Grindelwald, and Miss Grindelwald."

Grindelwald didn't react, but Alison smiled, innocent and cheerful, unlike her fathers who would hide their emotions. However, there was a hint of contempt in her expression, and she looked at this visitor who was invited by her letter with interest, as if she was looking at a toy.

Lucius kept a perfect smile on his face and quickly looked away. The little red-haired wizard was quite pretty, but she also had a bad temper. It was not a good thing to be targeted by her.

Dumbledore asked knowingly, with a faint, gentle and harmless smile on his lips.

"What brings you to Hogwarts?"

The elder Malfoy spoke forcefully, trying to take the initiative and dominate the conversation, while his cold grey eyes carefully studied the expressions of Dumbledore and Alison.

"Regarding the attack that occurred on campus, the attack on Professor Lockhart, I think the board needs an explanation."

It had been nearly two months since the incident and he was just making a fuss about it. However, Dumbledore did not expose his excuse and just continued with the conversation.

"It's true that Gilderoy was petrified, but the problem has been solved now."

"Oh?" Lucius said in a timid tone, "Who is it?"

Dumbledore put his fingertips together, spoke in a calm tone, and looked him in the eyes, watching his reaction just as closely.

"It's the same person as last time, Lucius. This time Voldemort used his diary to work through another person."

"What a clever plan. If we hadn't found the diary, oh no - the Weasley family's little daughter might have to take the blame. After all, no one can prove that she didn't act according to her own will, and the Weasley family would also..."

Lucius listened, still with a perfect smile on his face, but he had already started cursing in his heart. He was indeed an old fox, he had already found out this far, and had completely guessed his previous plan.

He could only bite the bullet and reply unnaturally, pretending not to hear the urge in the words.

"Yes, Dumbledore, it's a blessing."

Anyway, the diary was destroyed and there was no evidence. He had nothing to worry about. He just had to deny it...

As if she had figured out the arrogant white peacock's little secret, Alison let out a short laugh and couldn't hold back her words any longer. She very kindly announced the correct answer and admired his expression with great interest.

"You don't have to worry about Albus. He can't do anything to you anyway. But ~ that diary is Voldemort's Horcrux, used to ensure his immortality. Of course, he made more than one, so the mark on your arm is still there..."

Horcrux?!

That tattered Muggle diary is a Horcrux?!

Lucius's face suddenly changed and he subconsciously covered his arm.

Allison had a subtle expression, a mixture of pity and enjoyment in watching the show, as she continued to finish off the enemy and analyze the results.

"When he returns to life, he'll find that you sent his soul fragments to Hogwarts, where we destroyed them. Then the Malfoys..."

The Malfoy patriarch's pupils suddenly shrank, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his face turned pale instantly, and his body trembled slightly. If he had not been sitting on a chair, he would have collapsed to the ground.

There was only one thought left in his mind - it was over.
