38 years of past events

The sky above Azkaban is filled with the gloom and depression left by the dementors.And the protective spell of the fortress has been broken, the collapsed battlements and the fallen spire are leaning against the side of the lighthouse, and the broken chains extend from the inside to the outermost, and the mottled rust is wrapped in the salty humidity brought by the sea breeze , making the air even more miserable, stuffy, as disgusting as putting yourself in a butter can.

I saw Aurors coming from the sky, inspecting the scene of the Death Eaters' destruction, and muttering and cursing at whoever made the mess.

But none of that mattered to me, and I apparated through the mess, trying to find that Malfoy coward.

The abandoned lamp building, the cold basement, the messy top of the tower, including the so-called D1037, all the broken tiles and ruins after the big prison break, I almost searched all under the eyes of the Aurors, but I didn’t see it. To Daisy Malfoy.

It's such a bad thing that I'm now just assuming she's really been captured by the Aurors, and it bodes well for me to take even more dangerous action.

For the last time, I checked those places again and again, expecting to find something unexpected. Fortunately, Merlin did not abandon her, and fate still favored her, because I was finally in a collapsed lamp building, a large piece of land that had been cursed by gravity. Her choked-up crying was heard under the iron plate. In the darkness, she curled up in the innermost part, her body trembling uncontrollably, and her pale expression made her feel dazed and restless.

"Daisy! Daisy!"

I yelled at her twice in a row until she stopped sobbing and turned around to find me, "Randolph..."

"Okay, don't say anything now, give me your hand, I will pull you out, and then we will leave this hapless place."

I put my hand in through the opening of the iron plate, but Daisy didn't come to grab me, she just looked at me fixedly, her eyes were a little lax.

"Come on, idiot! We don't have much time and the Aurors are outside!"

"I...I don't think I can get out of here with you...you really shouldn't have come to me..."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Daisy, do you think you're Bella? Come on! I'll say it one last time!"

"No...it's true, my father, he, he's still..."

"Okay, if we have extra time, we can save him."

"And I lost my wand..."

"We can catch Olivando and it won't be a problem."

"And I... I..."

Okay, I'm impatient, I decided to come in person, the opening blocked by the iron plate is not big, it's not difficult to remove it with magic, but considering it's not small, I decided not to use magic for the time being Go and move the big guy out of the way, so as not to startle the Aurors outside by making any noise.

I leaned in from the opening and grabbed Daisy's hand, "Okay, now that I'm here, you should be satisfied, and you'd better not get me into any trouble after you get out later." Then, I was about to pull her out, but suddenly she cried out in pain.

"What's going on?" I took her hand out again, but she was still groaning in pain.

"Randolph..." She looked very painful, and tears fell from her eyes.

I followed her gaze, but I didn't expect that two large iron plates were pressing on her left leg, and the blood kept oozing from the wound without scabbing.

"It's nothing, it's easy to solve, it's just the Gravity Curse!" I comforted her, in fact, as much as I didn't want to use magic, I had to do it now.

"No...it's not like that..."

Before Daisy could finish speaking, I swung my wand and cast the dispelling spell, but something unexpected happened, the spell was bounced back and I fell heavily to the side.

"Randolph! Are you alright?" Daisy asked me worriedly, her hand reached out to me in the darkness, groping to grab me.

What's happening here?Why would the spell not work?

I got up and immediately re-examined the two iron plates pressing Daisy.With the help of the magic wand's fluorescence, I could see densely engraved ancient magic words on it. The dark lines shimmered at the bottom of the words, and there were exquisite carvings on both sides of the iron plate.I tried to touch it, and the coldness it exuded penetrated into the marrow of my bones.

I suddenly realized a terrible thing, these are not two big iron plates at all, they are clearly the soul-locking iron gate of Azkaban, yes, the last gate of Azkaban where prisoners are held, Lu Xiu They destroyed Azkaban, and these two iron plates are clearly the last protection from Azkaban, it is covered with ancient magic words, when there is no way to untie it, all the spells will be destroyed. It will fail in front of it.

What a hassle!

"I said you shouldn't be here...Randolph. Go...get out of here..." Daisy was crying, tears falling like they couldn't be stopped.

"Be quiet! Daisy, there will always be a way!" I comforted her and told myself at the same time. In fact, I was extremely annoyed, and my mind began to turn all the spells quickly, no matter it was white witchcraft, It's still black magic...but I can't remember where I've seen such a disarming method, how annoying!

I began to think of my father, yes, if he was here, he must have a way, facing this ancient spell, he must know the way to break it, but I know I can't think of him, because he must be listening to Lu Xiu Laughing at my stupidity as I read Adams' report.

Damn it!

Is there a second option now?

"Death Eaters! There are still people here!" Suddenly an Auror spotted us.

"Listen, stay here, I'll come to you later!" I picked up my wand and jumped out of the opening.

"Lucky! I was planning to go out and find one, and you delivered it yourself." Now there is only one Auror here, and I am very confident in that, but I don't intend to kill him, because I thought of his As for the breaking spell, maybe the Aurors know of any other methods, not necessarily.

"You evil Death Eaters!" As he said that, he immediately shot a spell at me, and I turned around lightly. The spell passed by my side and shattered the stone statue behind me.

He seemed dissatisfied again, and angrily cast a second spell. The light of the spell was knocked out by the backlash spell I cast with my wand at the same time.

"Okay sir, this is the second time, now it's my turn, Crucio!" Crucio's wrist bone hit him with precision, and he fell to the ground screaming in pain.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you, at least not now! As long as you can help me solve one thing, maybe I can let you go." I walked up to him, trying to make me appear believable with a gentle tone.

"Bastards! Don't expect me to offer you anything."

I haven't asked yet, but his firmness made me hate it, so I almost unceremoniously pulled him up from the ground: "Tell me, how to remove the protective spell on the soul lock door of Azkaban !"

"You demons who destroyed Azkaban, you still want to release those accomplices who are as evil as you, don't you expect me to tell you!"

"Damn it! Crucio! Crucio!" I angrily executed Cruciate and hit him several times, but this guy was just too stubborn to say a word.

"I said that even if you kill me, don't expect me to utter a word!"

"Don't worry, I won't kill you, I have plenty of ways to make you suffer! Crucio!" I almost put my wand on his body and cast a spell, his painful cries pierced into the eardrums, which was extremely ear-piercing.

When he was dying and fell to the ground, I still didn't get any useful clues: "Damn!" I kicked him hard, but I had no choice but to restrain him with a binding spell and bring him into the tower. Here, I saw that Daisy's face became paler and paler, and the blood seeped out more as if it couldn't stop.

"Is there no way? Forget it...you can get out of here..."

"No, there is a way, Daisy, there is always a way." For the first time, I grabbed her hand and felt her trembling and coldness.

"By the way, Veritaserum! There must be Veritaserum in Azkaban!" I suddenly thought of this: "As long as I find Veritaserum, I can make this stubborn guy talk, and I will say There is a way."

"No! Please, don't go anymore...it's too dangerous...get out of here, listen to me...your father won't be happy to see you wasting time here."

"Okay, this is my own business, my father has nothing to do with it, Daisy, just wait for my good news."

"Come back! Randolph! Don't go..."

The moment I Apparated out of the tower, the Aurors surrounded the tower, waiting for me.

"Mr. Riddle, it's a pity that we met again. Now I solemnly tell you that you have been arrested." The Auror in front of me was one of the people who hunted me down at the Ministry of Magic just now.

"I can take this as a funny joke, do you really think you can catch me?"

"Can you, Mr. Riddle will know later, and I can assure you that you will not think it is a joke."

Saying that, the Aurors headed by that one began to surround me in a circle, and then all of their magic wands were aimed at me for a while, "Mr. Riddle, I advise you not to make unnecessary resistance, you are of great value to us , if you can persuade your father with us, then I think the court trial will give you a chance to repent and rehabilitate."

"Yeah? A chance to rehabilitate?" I smiled.

"Yes, we solemnly promise you as Aurors."

I deliberately made a way of thinking: "Okay, okay, sir, then you come here, come here."

He obviously hesitated, and the surrounding Aurors disapproved of him, but he still took a small step forward to show his sincerity.

Then I moved up to him and told him in a voice only we could hear, "I'm so sorry! I've never been in the habit of listening to politicians and Aurors in my life!"

In the next second, the "Avada Kedavra!!!" spell was fired at the Auror in front of him at the fastest speed.At almost the same moment, another ray of light flew towards the Auror faster than my Killing Curse, and he fell down, avoiding my fatal blow just now.

"Stephen, you are always like this, you think too well of them!"

This voice... made me feel an indelible sense of oppression for the second time besides my father. It was so familiar. After such a long time, I can still clearly recognize it.

"Dumbledore, thank you, you saved me again."

"Although your benevolence taught me to be moved, but rather than thank you, I hope you can learn a little more next time."

After solving Stephen's matter, Dumbledore turned around. It was the first time we met in three years. He looked at me from beginning to end. His eyes were so familiar that they were almost unfamiliar.

It seemed like a long time before he opened his mouth and said slowly, "Mr. Riddle, it's a pleasure to see you again."

He didn't call me Randolph this time, as before, but Mr. Riddle.This seems to have divided us completely.

Disappointed, I also replied to him: "Albus Dumbledore, I am also very glad to see you again."

"Unfortunately we are in an unpleasant place today."

"Are you here to arrest me? Like them, Dumbledore."

"If I could do it today, I would do it." Then he glanced at the tower, "Although your reason for coming back this time still moves me, it doesn't make up for the mistakes you made before, especially broken ones. Cauldron, those four wizards, I never thought Sirius would do anything like that."

"You've been following me?"

"No, it's attention to be precise. Unfortunately, the first thing that happened after you left Hogwarts still makes me feel horrible."

"My worst fear has happened. Come back, Randolph, and stop going on." Dumbledore sighed a long time.

"Would you do the same if that person were here?"

"If he was Tom back then, I would do it now, but there's no going back, is there?"

"Son, you still have a choice, I know, I'll know when you come back this time." He held out his hand to me.

I admit that I hesitated at that moment, not facing Stephen's pretense, but really hesitated, I thought of Daisy still inside, I thought of my father, their faces intertwined in my mind, the hand in my hand The wand was held tighter by me. After a long time, I raised my head and looked at Dumbledore firmly, "Sorry, Albus Dumbledore, I am loyal to my father! This is my mission, I must do so Do."

I raised my wand towards him, and Dumbledore's outstretched hand finally changed to the posture of picking up the wand, "In that case, Mr. Riddle, I must arrest you today."

"Avada Kedavra!"

The green fluorescent light rushed towards Dumbledore. I didn't know what would happen next, because I knew that Dumbledore would always have a way. Sure enough, a powerful light burst out from his wand immediately, that kind of power was almost He counterattacked without mercy, devouring my magic power bit by bit.

"Avada!" At this time, another green light also rushed out from behind me and rushed towards Dumbledore. For a moment, the two strong lights converged, and his power was so powerful that it surpassed everything I had, almost as powerful as me. Dumbledore's magic was flat.

"Back off!" he said to me.

My magic broke away from this contest, and the next thing I saw was several black smokes flying down from the sky, they wrapped their cloaks, and fell to the ground at the same time, then, everyone took out their wands, and the spell was launched all around , approaching Aurors, and now a battle between Aurors and Death Eaters is unfolding on this small island of Azkaban.

At this moment, the magic of father and Dumbledore also reached an unprecedented impact state. The two beams of light burst into sparks and splashed around. Finally, after the light ball at the connection exploded, both of them were disconnected. magic.

"Tom, I didn't think you'd be here so soon, but you seem more impatient than I thought."

"No, Dumbledore, I just came to witness one thing, and the benevolence you proclaimed is not as reliable as you said, which makes me feel great irony." The father smiled as he spoke .

"Tom, if you mean me and ten Aurors confronting your son today, then I'm sorry, but as his former headmaster, I just think I need to teach him what it means to learn from mistakes."

"Dumbledore, I have to remind you that he is not Harry Potter, so take back your stupid views, Voldemort will tell him what it means to make amends, especially among the Death Eaters."

"Use Cruciatus? Like your servants?"

"That's the punishment they deserve!" He said coldly, and then slowed down his speech: "Of course, I have other ways, but it seems that this is not something that you, Dumbledore, should care about."

"I wish you had a better way, though I know it almost disappoints me."

For Dumbledore's words, my father smiled disdainfully, and the next second, he grabbed me and disappeared into Azkaban.

"Crucio!"

Severe pain spread across the body, piercing the skin inch by inch, as if it was about to tear, but fortunately, this pain did not last long.

I knew he was pissed because it was the first time he had used Cruciatus on me, in front of everyone.

"Are you waiting for me to admire your courage, from the Ministry of Magic to Azkaban, facing a group of well-trained Aurors? Oh, so brave!" Although he said so, I could feel the tone in his tone. Biggest sarcasm ever, "As brave as that idiot named Harry Potter, isn't he?"

"If Lucius hadn't told me about this today, would you have decided to sacrifice yourself for your stupid behavior? It's an honor, isn't it!"

"Idiot!" he growled, the Death Eaters were silent and no one dared to speak out, and Lucius lowered his head even lower.

"Master... master... I think this is always a good thing, at least today we suppressed the arrogance of the Ministry of Magic..."

"Shut up! Bella! I heard that you agreed with him at the time, didn't you?" Father approached Bella dangerously and asked, but Bella immediately lowered her head quietly and did not speak.

"I'll settle accounts with you later, and you, Lucius!"

"Master...Master...I have reported everything to you."

"You hesitated! You didn't want to tell me, you were afraid of punishment! I told you a long time ago, don't try to deceive Voldemort, because he will know!"

Lucius' Adam's apple rolled, and he stood aside even more nervously.

"Father."

"What do you want to say, make up the perfect explanation for your stupidity this time?"

"No! I just want to tell you that even if there is a second chance, I will still do it!"

Now, I could feel his anger intensifying, his bloodshot pupils stared at me motionlessly, and the wand in his hand seemed to imply the danger of his impending eruption.

He didn't look away, but I heard him say to the Death Eaters, "Get down, all of you."

Then, now there are only the two of us left in this room, he pressed my gaze tightly, and said softly and coldly like a snake: "What did you just say? Say it again!"

"I said I would still do it if I had a second chance!"

With a "snap", he slapped me backhand, "Say what you said again!"

"I would do it even if I had a second chance! It has to, and I don't feel stupid about it!"

Then, he slapped heavily again: "Do you still dare to say that?"

"I just want to do this! I won't let her become like my mother!" I yelled at him, his slap that was about to fall again stopped in the air, and then he pulled my collar to ask Said: "What do you know? Who told you what!"

"What do you want me to know? What do you not want them to tell me? Or what are you hiding? My dear father." In the last sentence, I almost looked at him with a sneer.

"It's Pierce right? He told you what right?"

"Didn't you arrange all this? Didn't you send me to meet him? You wanted me to meet him at the Ministry of Magic, so you arranged for me to go to the Ministry, and you knew from the start that he would recognize out of me, so you want me to use him as a shortcut to the Ministry of Magic, don't you?"

"But you are worried now, what are you worried about? My dear father!" The pain at the corner of my mouth made me mock him desperately with a smile.

One day later, I often recalled the courage and courage of today. It seems that in my life with my father, I have never encountered such a stubborn and firm persistence like today.

"Yes, that was indeed my original plan, but I have changed my mind now. I should have killed him."

"However, killing him won't change your worries. I'll still look for it! You can't stop it!"

"you dare!"

"I dare, like today!"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly laughed coldly, "Yes, dare you, you are always stupid for some meaningless things, just like today, a stupid girl from the Malfoy family will be worth your effort, Desperate to save her, even disobeying my orders."

"she is my friend."

"Friends?" He laughed again. "Friends with the Malfoys? Is your brain made of trolls?"

"In my opinion, these people are not qualified to be your friends, and what you need should not be friends, but rule! You have to make them obey you! Awe! Even fear, fear of mentioning your name, this is what you want It's what a noble descendant of Slytherin should do, instead of having useless garbage in his head all day long!"

"Look, you'll never understand." I laughed.

"what?"

"11 years old, I went to Hogwarts when I was 11 years old, and you were not with me, you left me very early, no one actually knew where you went, all of them said you were dead , everywhere in Hogwarts, there are people cheering for your death, no one is willing to admit that you are still alive, and then they tell me, this is great news, but I don't believe it, I think you are still alive Will come back, for this, I had a fight with Bob Richard of Gryffindor, and Slytherin was deducted [-] points later, the prefect of Slytherin came to me at night, of course We fought again because no one wants to put up with a guy who doesn't even know who his parents are."

I paused for a moment, and then he told me, "You should kill 'em, those mudbloods and scum!"

"Yeah, at least it should be like this now, but who would have known at that time, although I knocked Bob's nose off, but his fist was not light, and my right eye was in a state of blur for almost a week , plus that night, the "visit" by the Slytherin prefects, it can be said to be terrible, but I can't let them know, it's embarrassing, isn't it?At least what will they say someday if they find out I'm Voldemort's son? "

"In the middle of the night, Daisy came, the first person I met at Hogwarts, even though I didn't like her at that time, she did this every time, put the band-aid and disinfectant on the door of the dormitory and ran away Even though many nights I wondered if she hid in some corner every time to see my distressed appearance and stole Madam Pomfrey’s medicine in the middle of the night because of this, but habit is a terrible thing, I'm getting used to her presence. In those days, every midnight presence."

"So, are you going to save her now? Is it your choice?"

"Yes, it's my choice. I have to save her this time. Even if you use the Death Curse on my head now, I will do it." I replied, looking directly at him.

His eyes were fixed on me, as if hesitating to think about something, then he took a deep breath, his wand was gripped even tighter, and finally he raised his hand to me.Now I'm trying to accept this damn fate.

Then, I heard him whisper in my ear, "Stupefy! (Stunned out)"

I didn't have time to react to other things, and in the next second, my eyes went dark and I lost all consciousness.
