[HP] Snake

Glancing at Draco who looked puzzled beside me, I gave Lucius a teasing smile on the opposite side.

"So, Lucius, are you referring to..."

I reached out and tapped the coffee table in front of me, and the teacup turned upside down automatically turned over, the teapot flew up smoothly, poured [-]% black tea into the cup, and then the cup of black tea came to my hand.

The moment your fingers stick to the rim of the cup, the black tea inside turns into clear water.

Ah, the potion I've been drinking recently, it goes against black tea.

Withdrawing his hand, he took a sip casually, subconsciously stretched out his left hand, and caressed the right arm holding the teacup. There was a secret pocket inside, and a magic wand was placed in the secret pocket.

Now, because of that damned body, I have to take out this Ollivander wand with a holly body and a phoenix feather core.

Moreover, in order to prevent some people with ulterior motives from seeing anything, I also specially added a secret pocket in the right sleeve, which is specially used to put this wand.

"The clerk outside."

Lucius also added some black tea for himself, held it in his hand, and took a sip as he spoke.

"Any clues?"

I raised my eyebrows. As a nobleman, there are always some privileges and means.

"Recently, other places are okay, but Knockturn Alley is a bit unsettled. However, I think it's your base camp there, so I don't need to mention it."

There was a smirk on Lucius's face, and a smile flickered across his gray-blue eyes.

"Of course, if it's Knockturn Alley, I'll take care of it. But, the one out there, don't you have anything to say to me?"

He glanced casually at Draco, whose face suddenly became a little dignified, and the corner of his mouth curled up in satisfaction, and when he turned around, he saw the corner of Lucius' mouth curled up in the same arc.

"Hittel Crick, whose age is unknown, suddenly appeared in September last year and took over this stationery store. In terms of identity, it is said that he is the distant nephew of the original owner Tomkins Crick."

Lucius instantly withdrew his satisfied gaze from looking at Draco, and seemingly casually reported the information of the owner of the stationery store outside.

"Hittel... Last September... Sure enough..."

Connecting the name and the time of his appearance, it is not difficult to figure it out.

"What? Harry, what did you think of?"

Lucius said with some doubts, and Draco, who had been silent all this time, also looked over, but he still held back and didn't say anything.

"Hittel Zach Ryles, you probably don't miss this name, do you?"

I raised my eyebrows and took a sip of water, but my eyes were fixed on Lucius' face, not missing the slightest change in his expression.

Sure enough, his tense aristocratic expression was suddenly ruined, his gray-blue eyes were wide open, and his light-colored lips were slightly parted.The teacup in his hand was about to touch his lips, but at this moment he froze in mid-air without moving.

"You...you mean..."

He finally came back to his senses, almost dropped the teacup in his hand on the table, and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Yes."

"That one, is also going to make a move?"

"kindness."

"Merlin..."

The Zach Ryles family can be said to be the oldest noble family in the German wizarding world. It is said that the origin of this family can even be traced back to the primitive tribe period more than 400 years ago.

And Hitler Zach Ryles is the former head of the Zach Ryles family.

At the same time, he was also a subordinate of the German Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald - one of the high-level saints, and one of Gellert Grindelwald's loyal followers.

Like other saints, after Grindelwald was imprisoned in Nurmengard, he passed on the position of Patriarch to the heir of the family, and has been waiting for the day when Grindelwald walks out of Nurmengard.

And last September, when Grindelwald appeared at Hogwarts, this Hitler Zach Ryles naturally also appeared here.

Gellert Grindelwald, you have worked so hard for this Dumbledore...

"More than that, Lucius, that one, is already at Hogwarts."

I played with the small teacup in my hand and said with a sneer.

"How...how is it possible...under the eyes of that old fox? Or...they already have something..."

Lucius froze again, guessing uncertainly.

Suddenly, a puff of pale smoke emerged from his arms bit by bit, and gradually formed a human shape beside him, and soon turned into Riddle's appearance.

Riddle's soul was a little more solid than before, and even had a faint sense of reality. It seemed that the soul medicine during this period was not wasted in vain.I think, after half a year at most, or if he finds another soul piece, he can materialize.

"That old bee and Grindelwald—"

As soon as his body took shape, he couldn't wait to open his mouth, and his eyes faintly glowed with a dark red color.

"What is this—"

"Riddle, you—"

As soon as I opened my mouth, I found Draco next to me uttered the same sound. When I turned my head, I saw him jumping up, frowning tightly and widening a pair of gray-blue eyes, looking like he couldn't bear it.

"Father," Draco took a deep breath, then let it out, looked at Lucius, "Harry," then turned to me, pointing his slender fingers straight at Riddle, " This... I don't know what it is... What is it?! The one you are talking about, what is it?! What does the owner of the stationery store outside have with the former head of the German Zach Ryles family? relation?!"

"Draco, don't get excited, I will explain it to you, this is also one of our purposes today, isn't it?"

I put my hand on Draco's shoulder, and said softly with a smile on the corner of my mouth.

"I am sorry."

Draco took a deep breath and sat down again.

"This one," I pointed to Riddle who was staring at Draco with a dark face, "it's nothing." Riddle's face turned even darker, while Lucius covered his mouth and narrowed his eyes. He seemed to be snickering, "He's an unknown part of the legendary Dark Lord who was defeated by a baby who just turned one year old."

"Harry Slytherin!"

Riddle glared at me and hissed out my name.

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

I blinked, but a sneer appeared on the corner of my mouth.

Seeing this, Riddle froze all of a sudden, and sat down beside Lucius.

Turning to Draco, I saw he was looking at me too, with a dead, unintelligible expression, which looked so cute.

"Harry... you mean..."

"Draco, don't worry," I patted him on the shoulder, "As for the one we're talking about, it's the German Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald, and the owner of the stationery store outside, It is the former head of the Zach Ryles family and one of the saints under the Dark Lord."

"Gai... Hei... I... Mei..."

Draco's pale lips trembled and he couldn't speak.

"Well, I think Draco needs a little more time."

I shrugged my shoulders pretending to be helpless, and then I found that the three of them were staring at me with rather sad eyes.

"Harry, I think you should explain what happened to that one at Hogwarts now."

Lucius tightly held the gorgeous snake staff in his hand, and when he spoke, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally.

"Last September, that one entered Hogwarts as a freshman."

"newborn?!"

"That's right, it's a freshman. At the beginning, I didn't notice it either. After all, an inconspicuous mixed-race Slytherin didn't attract much attention when there were a lot of Slytherin personnel last year. However, the real What made me confirm his identity was the time he shot Sev."

"Harry, did you just call Severus...Sev? You..."

Lucius was shocked again, although, the aspects he paid attention to were a little off the point.

"Well, our relationship is not bad."

"That……"

"Lucius, I think if you want to know, you'd better ask him."

"Ok."

Lucius could clearly see that I didn't want to say much, so he spread his hands and gave up asking.

"As far as I know, Dumbledore probably doesn't know about it yet."

"But, Harry, Nurmengard didn't report anything about that one's escape at all..."

Riddle, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"Hmph, Nurmengard, who built it? Whose property does it belong to? Do you think it can really hold its owner?" I glanced at Riddle with a sneer, "Do you think that Just like you, just losing the name of the Dark Lord is equivalent to losing all rights and status? I dare say that even when he stayed in Nurmengard, the entire wizarding world in Germany was under his control It’s up to him whether he wants to take care of it or not.”

Riddle's complexion suddenly darkened, and he listlessly stopped talking.

"Also, the relationship between that one and Dumbledore is not as simple as everyone thought before."

"what?"

"You'll find out about that soon. But for now, Lucius, I think you should tell your dear dragon what little you don't know about this man who might be his future stepfather." How many exist."
