HP's return to innocence

July 1991, 7, Malfoy Manor, midnight

Draco Malfoy - 11-year-old Draco Malfoy - suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from his four-poster bed, which looked a little scary.

Before he was even fully conscious, Draco's hand had already reached under the pillow, where his cane, the snake staff inherited from his father, should be there.It wasn't just an ornament or a weapon, it was the only thing that was with him when he lost everything, so even when he knew he was safe at home, he would hold it in his hand the first time.

However, there was nothing there, which even made him panic briefly, but it was only for a short moment, and soon he calmed down, and began to recall what happened before he fell asleep.

As a result, his memory told him that he did not fall asleep at all—unless, lying on the cold floor of the manor dungeon, losing consciousness due to excessive blood loss can also be called falling asleep...

And the reason for this situation can even be traced back to what his mother secretly told him when he went to Azkaban to attend his father's "funeral" ten years ago.

"'If there is no way to go, go to the cell to find the glory of the family and pour it with your blood' This is what your father asked me to pass on to you, and he also asked me to tell you that he loves you and he is sorry now I'm leaving you. I love you too, my little dragon...but I'm also sorry, I'm not as strong as Lucius..."

So, just a few days later, he got the news of his mother's death, but this time he didn't need to attend the funeral because his mother had jumped off the cliff into the sea by herself.

However, Drake knew that it was not a martyrdom. After all, his parents were "standard" aristocratic couples, married because of politics, and intercourse for the sake of children. They were family members, friends, brothers and sisters, and comrades-in-arms, but they were definitely not lovers.But the mother chose to die, but it was indeed because of the father's departure.

When the dementors guarded Azkaban, all they inflicted on the prisoners was mental torture. Many people went crazy, but they were still alive after all.Now, because of "humanity", the guards have become wizards, but on such an isolated island, as guards who have absolute power over the prisoners, how will they express their "humanity" to the prisoners?

There is a Muggle saying that is very correct, "absolute power leads to absolute corruption", especially when an ordinary person suddenly has absolute power over a group of once-high nobles, it is no longer pure corruption and indulgence , which is also mixed with some other things that have been distorted, which is the dirtiest part of human nature.

There, the female prisoner is the most miserable prisoner, of course, the man is not safe, and his parents...

For a long time, even after his parents died, Draco would wake up from that nightmare.He bribed the guards many times, just to make life better for his parents, which had some effect.But some officials at the Ministry of Magic were more than happy to let them enjoy "special treatment" in Azkaban in order to get more from the Malfoy family.For this reason, those guards who were kinder to his parents were transferred or even fired.

It turns out that Draco finds himself bribed to make things even worse for his parents.The guards had to keep their jobs if they wanted his money, and even if they kept the "special treatment" for the Malfoys, Draco had to keep giving them money unless he wanted to add more to those "special treatment" .

Therefore, Drake always believed that his immaturity fueled the arrogance of those people and indirectly caused his father's death.

Otherwise, as expressed in the words his mother told him, his father didn't want to die, but would persevere for the sake of his immature son.But not in every situation, willpower can win.

While protecting his wife, he had to "enjoy" his "special treatment" at the same time, and his father's body could no longer support him.And the mother... Without her husband's physical protection and spiritual support, even if she didn't jump that day, she would not survive for long...

Death is actually the most correct choice for her.

Draco found the family glory, and it was at the end of the dungeon at Malfoy Manor, a brick carved with the Malfoy family crest—the shield, the dragon guarding the shield, the snake wrapped around the shield—and What could better represent the glory of a family than a family crest?

He didn't know what the thing was for, or how much of his own blood it needed, and the situation was tough at that time, but there was still a way to go.After all, he has no parents, but he still has a wife and children.Therefore, Draco let the family crest remain there quietly.

And when Scorpius and Astoria left him...

Those enemies will have nowhere to escape in the wizarding world. The revenge fund jointly established with Gringotts can receive bonuses as long as there is Gringotts.

They will surely escape to the Muggle world, but the Muggle world is not as bright as it seems, and their dark side will make the jaws of wizards drop when they shout "Muggles need protection!"Mercenaries, killers, and any other Muggles willing to die for the money, they will bring great surprises to those who escape.

After everything was arranged, Drake cut his own carotid artery, which was his last hope, but it was also suicide.

As a result, in a blur of consciousness, he saw a ball of light.

"What is your wish, child of Malfoy? I will fulfill one of your wishes within my ability according to the ancient contract."

"Resurrect my family!" Draco shouted this sentence almost without hesitation, he would not care about Hogwarts or Slytherin anymore.If the school opened 1000 years ago, it can also end 1000 years later!To hell with those guys!

He ran away immediately with his family, they would restore the Malfoy family to the glory of platinum nobles!

"What a fun play on words - family, but yes, I owe your ancestors. But you're going to give me the bodies of your family, or at least parts of them."

"There must be a body?"

"There must be, because I don't actually exist in your time and space. We creatures have migrated to another world 1000 years ago. What exists here is just a projection of me. So, if I want to Having an impact on your world - whether it's making you the king of the world, or growing your hair (Draco: can you forget about the hair) requires having your projection in direct contact with you, through the 'you' The media makes an impact. So does whoever you want me to resurrect, this projection has to touch them."

His baby Scorpion and his wife were able to come back to life, but what about his parents?And he used the last hole card of the Malfoy family, but he could only do this?

"It seems that you don't want this wish anymore, but don't worry, you can think about it slowly, I have been waiting for a Malfoy for more than 1000 years, and I don't mind waiting a little longer."

Drake was silent, he was thinking about what he wanted, power?Want wealth?Want status?These things are of no use to him and the Malfoy family now.What he longed for was still family, family that could live together.

"Can you change history?"

"This question is very complicated and grand. If I answer it head-on, I can't change history. But if I answer it around the corner, it means that although I can't change history, you can."

"Can you explain in detail?"

"I can kill you at a certain stage in the past history, or send you back to a certain stage in the past."

"It can only be me?"

"You can also get someone else, or a soul, as long as I can touch it."

"Is a corpse okay?"

"That's two wishes, let him be resurrected first, and then send him back."

"..." Draco was silent.

He hopes to let his father or grandfather return to the past time and space after having this memory. It is not that he shirks his responsibility, but that the Malfoy family wants to get out of the predicament, so it is best to start from the time of his grandfather. The father's period was next.

And by that time, the Dark Mark had been branded on his father's left arm, and everything after that was almost beyond the control of the Malfoy family—even if he didn't want to admit that Malfoy was so powerless, he could only Accept the truth.

Even without Harry Potter, with the irrational madness of the You-Know-Who, he could not escape failure in the end.After all, he has taken a detour, because what a monarch needs most is not personal strength, but an overall view and the skills of employing people.If you want to grade, Mysterious Man will definitely not be D (terrible) on these two points, but only T (troll).

He got control of the Ministry of Magic, thinking about stuffing wizards into Azkaban all day long?As for the final Hogwarts War, when the Death Eaters had already taken control of the Ministry of Magic, was it necessary for him to bring a group of men to fight?

A single order or at most one official can get him what he wants, and stabilizing the hearts of the people will always consolidate the legitimacy of his rule better than high-pressure policies.

Draco closed his eyes as he realized he was going off topic.

"In other words, you can send me back decades ago?"

"Of course, I can let you go back to any point in time you have experienced."

"It must be what I have experienced, that is, I must still be myself and not make others?"

Draco felt that if he became the Dark Lord, everything would be easy. He didn't think he could do better than You-Know-Who, but at least he wouldn't do as badly as he did.Moreover, he once researched the history of that person, and found that even if there was no Tom Marvolo Riddle, and there was no leap to death, it is very likely that another person who "crossed death" would appear.

In that era—that is, the era of his grandfather Abraxas, at the beginning, Voldemort was just the leader of the nobles on the surface, but in fact it was just a shield to be pushed out to fight against Dumbledore.

Because at that time, Dumbledore's reputation was too high, but not only did he not buy the account of the aristocratic group, but after becoming the headmaster of Hogwarts, he used his special status and high reputation to fight against the Slytherins, especially in the Hogwarts, his hostility to Slytherin and favoritism to Gryffindor is too obvious.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that the generation of noble wizards who could suppress the mysterious man died so early (this is also a very "interesting" situation).Thus, when the generation of his father Lucius took over the family, the mysterious man changed from the titular master and actual collaborator to the real master and actual ruler.

Therefore, the emergence of the second generation Dark Lord was certainly the result of his own struggles when he was not crazy in the early stage, but to a large extent it was also because he borrowed a good momentum.And even if Tom Marvolo Riddle disappears, the second-generation Dark Lord will not disappear.Maybe it was a guy who couldn't slice himself, but maybe it was a crazier guy, or a more brainless idiot.

"No, unless you bring the person you want to possess."

Voldemort's body couldn't be found, but Draco seriously considered whether to dig Dumbledore's grave, and then thought that in the past few decades, there would be people wandering there for heroes, and he obviously couldn't help it Wait that long again.

Therefore, the final choice, he can only still be himself.
