The leader of HP arrives

Nine years haven't brought much change to the closed wizarding world.The battle in Govic Valley has long been buried in the depths of memory. For most wizards, whether it is the Mysterious Man or the Death Eaters, they have become the epitome of another era.

"Lux, you're awake." The cold and hoarse snake language sounded in the room. Nine years also did not leave too many traces on Dongfang Bubai, except for the colder temperament between his eyebrows and eyes. , The wizard wearing a red dragon skin tanned coat is just like the man who dominated the entire Slytherin back then.

A platinum-gold boa constrictor snaked out of the room, its dense scales scraped long patterns on the carpet, as if dissatisfied with the soft touch beneath it, the boa constrictor raised its head slightly, its blue-gray vertical pupils looked straight at With oriental blood-colored eyes.

"I'm curious, where did Lucius find such a stupid snake." Dongfang raised his eyebrows slightly, put down the quill in his hand, stretched out his hand to pinch the python's seven inches and dragged it in front of him, "Even if this It's the first time I've seen a blunt guy like you."

Lux, the interpretation in Latin is brilliance, and the name of Lucius comes from the ancient Latin word.The smooth and dazzling scales of the platinum boa constrictor are like the platinum hair color of the Malfoy family. The name came from Karkaroff's suggestion. Obviously, Lucius's jokes about the house-elf Kaka made this German wizard always in his heart.

The leader of the mysterious saint Slytherin can use the snake language and raises a strange python, which is no longer news among the saints.Although Lux has spent most of his time in long hibernation for nine years, the scene of the platinum boa constrictor perched on the dark red cloth is still unforgettable for those who have seen it, especially the pair of blue-gray vertical pupils The stark coldness in the eyes is not so much a python, it is more like a pair of dark wizard's eyes.

"Master, the Association of Potion Masters has sent a note to the German Ministry of Magic, hoping to meet His Majesty Greenwald." Karkaroff knocked on the open door cautiously, and explained his purpose outside the door.

"Lux likes you very much, Karkaroff." Dongfang noticed Karkaroff's cautious expression, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and reached out his hand helplessly to press Lux's raised head.The platinum python is very interested in Karkaroff, this kind of interest is like Nagini's curiosity about the Death Eaters back then, even though this kind of probing game behavior often causes some misunderstandings.

"Her Majesty Greenwald's research on Wolfsbane Potion was published in the new issue of Potions Master's internal journal. Obviously, this note from England must be pushed by Dumbledore." Karkaroff said stiffly Twitching the corners of his mouth, he didn't deny Dongfang's wrong judgment on Lux.In fact, the platinum boa constrictor only wakes up from hibernation for a few days every month. Excluding the time spent entrenched next to the mysterious man, the hours spent alone with Lux in the past nine years are definitely not pleasant. experience.

"In that case, as they wish, let them go to Nurmengard." Dongfang Bubai caressed the icy scales of Lux with one hand, and opened the latest issue of "Master of Potion" on the desktop with the other hand, signed G·G The headings are listed on the first line of the table of contents.Such arrogant behavior is contrary to the old wizard's low-key style for decades. Of course, with Gellert's influence in Germany, without His Majesty Greenwald's own instruction, this research note will never appear in any magazine superior.

"About the prophecy ten years ago—" Karkaroff hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a parchment envelope from his pocket, "About the heir of the Potter family, it was recently reported that several wizards were The Muggle world has seen boys who seem to be Harry Potter."

"It was once rumored in the British wizarding world that Dumbledore hid the boy in the Muggle world, but most wizards thought it was a lie. Until recently, a Slytherin who had just returned to England from a tour met him near Privet Drive. The boy surnamed Potter happened to be there at the time when Harry Potter was being chased and beaten by several boys, and the magic riot shattered most of the glass windows of the street." Karkaroff's voice paused for a few seconds, This made Lux, who had been sitting silently on Dongfang's knees, twist and stand upright, and the gray-blue vertical pupils staring at Karkaroff narrowed into a line, making the latter subconsciously step back a few steps before continuing the topic just now.

"That boy happened to have a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead, which is consistent with the details announced by the Order of the Phoenix." Dongfang Bubai tilted his head slightly, which made it impossible for Karkaroff to speculate on the mysterious man's attitude towards this matter, so he just Can lowered his voice and gave his final guess, "Quirrell, that Slytherin also met Severus at the scene. In fact, Severus lived not far from Privet Drive. It's a street away. There's no way Dumbledore didn't arrange for a reliable wizard to protect his savior boy."

The name Severus, Karkaroff pronounced in English with a German accent, sounded a little strange.Dongfang Bubai was still stroking the scales under his palm, the cold and hard lines carved into his fingertips felt a bit tingling, just like his current mood.The figure in the black robe crying and begging him to let go of the child in his arms was vaguely still in front of him. Nine years ago, even Severus himself was considered a child.

"Master?" Karkaroff coughed heavily, interrupting Dongfang Bubai's thoughts, "The German Ministry of Magic—"

"Take them directly to Nurmengard. I don't want to see the wizards of the Order of the Phoenix yet." Lux seemed to have lost his patience. Dongfang reached out to comfort his pet and signed a letter or two on the parchment. , "I will stay in the summer palace in the near future. Gellert will know how to do it."

Karkaroff nodded silently, glanced at the conspicuous bloodstains on the platinum scales, reached out to take the file and disappeared into the fireplace.

The summer palace was built on the edge of the forest a few kilometers away from Nurmengard, and was protected by a strict magic circle.Although the summer palace was built in name to facilitate the aging Gellert to spend the summer in Nurmengard to recuperate, but this heavily guarded two-story building has nothing to do with the name of the summer palace.After the blood race visited Nurmengard five years ago, Joyce's coffin was moved to the newly built summer palace. The magic circle designed by the two generations of Dark Lords effectively eliminated the blood race's breath, unless Joyce came from Wake up from a deep sleep, otherwise no one will be able to notice his existence.

In the past nine years, the instinct of the blood race is slowly recovering.The original ornate coffin was filled with blood. Under the nourishment of sufficient blood, the pale and supple skin had replaced the original carbonized body, and even the severely burned internal organs were slowly recovering.Dongfang reached out and probed Joyce's chest. It was as quiet as usual, without any sign of recovering his heartbeat.

Dongfang Bubai frowned, and allowed the blood race's stiff body to sink into the coffin again. A few drops of blood splashed out, stained the wide sleeves, and left a few streaks of blood on Lux's scales.

"Lux, come here." Even though the summer palace was just an excuse, Karkaroff still built a huge swimming pool behind the house in order to deceive others. Under the effect of the magic circle, the water temperature was constant at around 40 degrees all year round, which also made the whole The summer palace was shrouded in a thin mist.

"Clean up before going ashore, otherwise, I am happy to let you try ordinary snake dinner, Lux." Dongfang Bubai glanced at the platinum boa constrictor hesitatingly lingering by the pool, raised his eyebrows slightly, and walked in with his coat on. In the pool water, he didn't notice the deeper color in the gray-blue vertical pupils.For the platinum boa constrictor who loves human recipes, the main meal of live mice is obviously very threatening. Lux hesitated for a while, and then slowly crawled into the pool.

The wizard wearing a red coat sat cross-legged in the pool, the water was just above the wizard's shoulders, and the red clothes swelled in the water, making the hair floating on the water appear even blacker and brighter.Dongfang Invincible's Sunflower Collection has already reached the fourth level, which also makes the next training more difficult. Using the resistance of water flow to temper internal strength and magic power is Dongfang's recent attempt.In other words, this idea has been around for a long time, but his physical disability has always made him subconsciously resist this attempt. Until the construction of the summer palace, the existence of Nurmengard and the magic circle ensured that no wizard could break into this place. .

"I don't know, you can be so stupid." The internal force filling the entire swimming pool swelled violently, Dongfang slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the platinum python rolled in front of him by the current. Innocently twisting his body to swim away from the water, he didn't have the slightest awareness of the drowning person.

The cold weather in Germany is not suitable for the survival of pythons. Although Lux sleeps most of the time, he still shows a consciousness that is far smarter than ordinary snakes.If his poor instinctual common sense is removed, this ordinary python is even much smarter than Nagini, who is a magical creature.In many cases, Lux is even more like a proud Slytherin wizard, for example, he is picky about diet, picky about where he lives, or his attitude towards house elves is exactly the same as Karkaroff.

"I have never noticed that you haven't grown up much in the past nine years." The long snake stretched out on the water surface, and the platinum golden scales rolled in the pool water to form a dazzling splash. Dongfang couldn't help but slightly Sighing, he reached out and pulled Lux ​​by the tail to pull him back in front of him.A few traces of faint blood stains still stubbornly remained on the scales on the ventral side. Dongfang Bubai casually rubbed his fingertips, and measured Lux's body inch by inch with the palm of his hand. He determined that within nine years, this golden python Didn't grow up even a little bit.Dongfang hesitated for a while, circled his fingers to hold Lux's lower abdomen, moved his palm back and forth a few times, and was surprised to find that in the past nine years, the thickness of Lux was still the same as when it was just delivered, which happened to be a smooth grip, which obviously violated the laws of biological growth.The warm fingertips moved slowly against the scales on the abdomen, as if hit by a curse, Lux's body trembled a few times, and the outstretched tail lay stiffly across the water.

"Lux, aren't you feeling well?" Dongfang raised his eyebrows in amazement, and stretched out his hands to support the python that was about to sink. He had to find an adjective similar to sickness in the word-poor Snake language.

The platinum boa constrictor struggled a few times, and silently wrapped itself around Dongfang's arm. Perhaps it was due to the temperature of the water or the mist of the water. Snakes' eyes, which are always cold, had a vague glimmer of water.
