How much can happen in half a year?On the surface, it is just that the Death Eaters have basically occupied the British wizarding world, and all members of the Order of the Phoenix have either become gray names on the tapestry, or have been hidden in a deeper place.And the few that are still active have grown into real fighters.Among them, besides Dumbledore, the most famous ones are actually James Potter and Sirius Black.Especially the latter, who fought against the Death Eaters and soon became known as "Crazy Black" along with Bella Lestrange.

Of course, this is all on the surface. Under the table, which most wizards can't see, is the calm before the storm.

"Rayle, it must be my Leyle back!" In the old house of Black's house, a middle-aged man with a shrill female voice and a nervous face patted her forearm, "Rayle is still here!" If there is something to do, he will be back in a while." As he spoke, the man skillfully took a long-necked potion bottle and coaxed the woman to drink it.

The potion quickly worked its due effect, and the woman fell into a drowsy sleep.The elegant wizard robe on the man was no longer as neat as it should be, and an old face was reflected in the mirror on the wall—it was the current patriarch of the Black family, Orion Black, who was in high spirits half a year ago.

"There's still no news from Rael?" When Orion went downstairs, he saw the current Mrs. Lestrange, whose surname was no longer Black, standing in the middle of the living room. Beside her was the respectful house-elf Kreacher.

"What are you here for?" Orion didn't want to talk about this topic. Since his youngest son, who is now the only heir of the Black family, disappeared, he never wanted to talk about this topic again.In a fundamental sense, the glory of the family is the continuation of the bloodline, and the disappearance of little Black is not a big blow to the current Patriarch of the Black family.

"Master asked me to pass on his order." Mentioning Voldemort, Bella's eyes were full of enthusiasm. "Have all the things he asked you to prepare within half a month. Master asked me to tell you that he doesn't accept the reason." Although Bella said the last sentence, Orion couldn't help shivering. His master has become stronger and stronger in the past six months, and his temper has also become more irritable.The Cruciatus Curse had become so common with him that even Orion was not immune to it, and on a few occasions he was forced to be punished at Death Eater gatherings for failing to complete tasks assigned by Voldemort.

The pain from the soul and the tumbling of being unable to maintain etiquette at last, Orion couldn't say when he couldn't find his dignity as a Black.All that's left is the fear of pain.

After conveying Voldemort's order, Bella didn't stop at Black's old house.Originally, she still had respect for Orion, but the recent incompetence and public punishment caused this witch who had long been crazy for Voldemort to feel contempt in her heart.A useless wizard is not qualified to follow that person, and Bella, who immediately changed form after leaving Black's old house, was full of madness.

"Uncle Orion, good day." Not long after Bella left, Black's old house welcomed its second guest today.Matt Howard, who was wearing a cloak, put down his hood in the hallway, his face was as warm as the etiquette allowed.

"Matt, you're here." Different from the tenseness when Bella was present, O'Rion sat directly on the couch facing Howard.With a snap of his fingers, Kreacher appeared reluctantly. From the very beginning when Matt appeared at Black's house, the house-elf showed abnormal repulsion, but it was obvious that neither Black was interested in his attitude.

Kreacher silently put the black tea in front of Matt, and couldn't help but tremble when he met the half-smile in his eyes. House elves are naturally sensitive to the smell of wizards, and Matt is a mudblood. its perception.It's just a pity that before Kreacher could tell any of Black, Matt used enough dark magic and alchemical products to guarantee its silence on the matter.

"Auntie's health is still not very good?" Matt put down the black tea, and there was just the right amount of worry in his voice.

"Thank you for your concern, Walburga will be fine." Orion drank a little brandy, and then his expression became serious, "My dear Matt, the master asked us to get that together in half a month." Everything on the list, I remember you said last time that the last few green algae flowers will be blooming in a few days."

"Yes, don't worry about Uncle Orion." Compared with his seriousness, Matt seemed very comfortable. "We always take your request seriously."

"That's good," Orion breathed a sigh of relief. He looked Matt up and down, and couldn't help repeating the old saying, "You really don't consider joining us? You know, I can be your referrer if you want. "Although Orion has often been punished by Voldemort recently, within the Death Eaters, the surname Black is enough by itself.

"Of course I want to be a Death Eater," Matt's face turned red, "But Uncle Orion, I want to complete a big task before I apply to join, I hope His Excellency the Duke can see my sincerity "He behaved like a young man trying to suppress his impulse, "I didn't tell you before because I always felt that I couldn't do anything for Your Excellency the Duke. Now, let's get everything on the list together. .” He paused, cautiously, “Would you like to be my introducer?”

Orion was taken aback for a moment, and then became ecstatic. Who doesn't know how powerful this young man in front of him is!If it weren't for him, the list would never have been assembled so quickly.Especially considering that there are several families from Knockturn Alley standing behind him, Orion could almost see that after he introduced Matt to Voldemort, his master was very pleased with him for successfully expanding the power of the Death Eaters into Knockturn Alley. Lane's testimonials.

"You're just too careful," his face flushed with joy, "Of course I'd like to be your referrer."

"But before that, Uncle Orion, please keep it secret." Matt said shyly.

There is no reason for Orion to refuse such a small request, and he even planned to take Matt to meet Voldemort after collecting all the items on the list. Back Lane should be heavy enough for his master to overlook something.

As for Voldemort's safety?Orion was not worried at all. The strength shown by Voldemort made him feel that his master had a chance of winning even against the White Wizard, let alone the young Matt.

Out of caution, Orion reported to Voldemort alone after the green algae blooms matured, and only brought Matt to Voldemort Manor after getting the other party's permission.In order to express their sincerity, they still arranged Wilton, the "poor apprentice", as a "surprise" in Matt's bedroom at night, but only the two of them knew who was the surprise for the two of them.

With the reputation of "a Death Eater who is not a Death Eater" and Orion's recommendation, Voldemort quickly agreed to Matt's allegiance.It's just that for some unknown reason, he didn't give Matt the Dark Mark on the spot.Instead, he directly asked Matt to participate in a magical experiment of his own on the night of the full moon a week later, after learning that the other party had made great achievements in alchemy.

Of course Matt would not refuse, and he even said excitedly that this was definitely his honor. Voldemort used Legilimency, and found that the young man of German origin was full of fanatical admiration for himself.

Voldemort was undoubtedly self-confident. In his opinion, it was only natural for a wizard with Knockturn Alley background to be conquered by his own strength.Especially after he finished the Horcrux made from Slytherin's locket, Voldemort didn't even think the former Lord was a big deal - a Dark Lord who foolishly saved the saints from having to fight Dumbledore, In the end, he failed in the duel and agreed to be imprisoned just like that? ! Voldemort was not stupid, and there must be some reason for this not known to outsiders.But whatever the reason, a self-imposed Dark Lord is not worthy of the title.

"I allow you to live in the manor during this time." Voldemort did not let down his vigilance completely while being delighted with Matt's allegiance, "I still need some help with magic experiments." It is both help and restriction|restriction, Voldemort Believe in the protection of your estate.The upcoming magic experiment is too important to him, so important that he must cut off all insiders from the outside world.

"It is my honor to serve you!" Instead of kneeling down and kissing Voldemort's robe, he just saluted. Voldemort and Orion didn't say anything, after all, Matt hadn't been marked yet.

"Who did you swear allegiance to?" In a bedroom in Voldemort Manor that night, "Matt", who had gray-blue eyes during the day, opened his brown eyes now, staring impatiently at himself. to half the man.

"I never give my allegiance to anyone." A smile was outlined on his face, "Maybe you would like to kneel at my feet and kiss the corner of my robe." Even though he was at a disadvantage, Moriarty still raised his chin, naturally like He is sitting on the throne overlooking his kingdom.

"It's not long," Wilton kissed his chin affectionately, "I've been preparing for so long, I promise it will be fun in the end." As he spoke, he pulled him deeper into his arms.

The smile on Moriarty's face deepened, and he remembered that they had discussed the topic of "love", "If it's not interesting, I'll kill you with my own hands~"
