[HP] Night Haze

Chapter 67 1 Conditions

Angelo was halfway through the long summer vacation when he returned to the place of his adoptive mother Amelia.Baron Lockhart started a global signing tour as planned, and the Daily Prophet often published hot scenes of him being overwhelmed by book fans from all over the world, which made Angelo smile knowingly.

His unscrupulous father is a person who knows how to hype himself. He can always make himself the focus of public attention and single-handedly promote various public opinions in his favor.He constantly promotes himself, and while gaining popularity, he also allows those who pay attention to him for various reasons but cannot express their feelings, to know his recent situation without any effort.

A certain professor in Hogwarts castle and a grumpy old man in the Lockhart mansion are of this type.In recent years, Master Lockhart has rarely appeared in public. Even if he did appear occasionally, he kept silent about the worrisome inheritance issues. He just boasted how the Lockhart family grew stronger day by day under his leadership. The word clang.

According to his unscrupulous father's words: Although the old man has repented in his bowels, he is still struggling.

Of course, Mr. Lockhart was not the only one who supported him.On the day Angelo received the book list for the new semester, the books that needed to be purchased and the potion materials that had to be supplemented were all sent in by owls.

Although the large box of things sent was signed by Gilderoy Lockhart, it smelled of high-grade potions, which did not belong to the category of materials he would use in his next semester's courses, nor Something that Lord Lockhart would touch.

His unscrupulous father never cared what courses he took or what he needed.The wandering blond man would only send money over at fixed times of the year, and even bought the wand when he first entered Hogwarts, accompanied by his adoptive mother Amelia.This year, the third grader could go to Hogsmeade village on the parental consent form, and all that was left was his adoptive mother's handwriting.

The Potions Professor must have inquired about all this clearly, but unfortunately his father cared about him, but he was still not ready to accept him.The two adult wizards who were blocked in the passage of the secret room last semester were silent about what happened afterwards, but Hogwarts castle has already spread rumors that the two professors have had an in-depth relationship.

Baron Lockhart's new book "Adventures with the Savior" is a bestseller. It is said that three editions have been reprinted and it is still out of stock as soon as it hits the shelves.As usual, Angelo read it earlier than others, and the content inside was extremely thrilling, even more legendary than their own experience, but more than half of it was not true to reality.

Of course, the little wizards who experienced this ordeal read it with great interest and mentioned it in their letters to Angelo.However, they all praised the book in unison, and attributed the inconsistencies with reality to the truth that cannot be disclosed to the public, as well as the reprocessing of art, which made Angelo laugh and speechless.

Ron sent a gift from Egypt-a small pocket looking glass, although it looks like a spinning top, it has the function of identifying the maliciousness of others.Relying on the seven hundred Galleons that Mr. Weasley accidentally got from the "Daily Prophet" annual award, their family traveled to Egypt.For this reason, the "Daily Prophet" also specially published this news to encourage future participants to make persistent efforts.

Dear Angelo, did you see the photo in the Daily Prophet? ——This is a letter Angelo received from Malfoy Manor.

Draco wrote that he had read yesterday's paper and that the picture of the Weasleys, Ron in a turkey hat, was hilarious.The platinum boy received the "shallow" souvenir from Ron, and his tone was full of disdain, but he deliberately mentioned this matter in the letter, and Angelo knew that the other party was actually very happy.

It would be great if they could live in peace, Angelo thought happily.Maybe it was Draco's choice in the Chamber of Secrets incident, which greatly won the hearts of the little lions who supported the savior, and even eased the relationship with the adults.

Although the Ministry of Magic intervened to release Hagrid, there were still doubts about the origin of the diary, but the only few insiders were tight-lipped, hoping to make this matter a no-nonsense case and silence forever.

"It seems that the main soul's vision of seeing people is not as good as its leadership." Only Vidi, who had witnessed the friendship between Angelo and Draco, snorted coldly in the ring, with a sour tone in his tone. "Whether it's Little Black or Malfoy, there's no one to trust—it's just going to be mixed up like that."

He was referring to the lingering main soul in the Quirrell incident, but Angelo smiled unkindly.The young Demon King seemed to have completely separated his past from his future, oblivious to the fact that they were one and the same.

"Fortunately, I chose you, Angelo." What the red-eyed man said next made Angelo's heart tremble.

"I believe you won't let me down, will you?" The seemingly unintentional tone hides a different kind of sincerity. The Dark Lord has said these words to many people inadvertently, and he has also done so with Megatron. , High-spirited and arrogant.Only there is no expectation that is not mixed with hypocrisy.

"Of course—" the blond boy blinked, and something in his heart was stirred by the other party's words, "We are collaborators, Viddy." His voice was low, as if he was talking to himself.

"Yes, we are collaborators." After hearing this answer, the voice in the ring returned to being a little careless.

"Angelo, if you let me down, you will die..."

"I know."

"So don't let me... be disappointed." The young Demon King chanted softly.

*****

When the summer vacation entered the last half month, Angelo's adoptive mother Amelia started to leave early and return late. Recently, a major event that shocked the magic world happened: Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban!

It was the first time in history that a prisoner had successfully escaped from the terrifying prison guarded by dementors, and the revelation caused a great panic among wizards.Baron Lockhart's tour no longer appeared on the first page of the newspaper, and Black's wanted notice was printed on the front pages of all wizarding newspapers.Following the successive testimonies of wizards among Muggles, the Ministry of Magic has reason to believe that the notorious Blake, who once ended thirteen lives with a single spell, has fled to the Muggle world.

The Minister of Magic, Fudge, urgently contacted the ministers of the Muggle world. Immediately afterwards, information about Black's arrest covered both worlds. According to the Daily Prophet, the Muggles were told that Black was carrying a gun (a metal wand used by Muggles to kill each other), and Minister Fudge assured the public that Black would be caught soon.

"Your friend and classmate Harry Potter blew up his aunt." One night in the last week of summer vacation, Amelia returned home with a tired brow.She hadn't come back for three days, maybe she hadn't even slept, because Angelo could smell a strong refreshing potion from her.

"Perkins is rushing to solve it. The ministry has been in a mess recently about Blake. I have written to Arthur, hoping that he can come back from Egypt as soon as possible." She rubbed her temples and took Angelo's hand. Hot milk was handed over.Perkins was a colleague who shared a small office with Mr. Weasley. Since Arthur Weasley took his annual leave and his family went on a trip, the work of dealing with Muggle accidents fell on Perkins alone.

"How is Harry?" Angelo mourned for the end of the Ron family's trip, but what he was most concerned about now was whether the green-eyed boy would be expelled from school.Because of the kindness of the elf Dobby last summer, Harry had already received a warning letter from the Ministry of Magic.

"At this juncture, who cares if the savior blows up a Muggle? Connelly has gone to the Leaky Cauldron. Someone saw Harry going in the Knight Bus. Hope he gets there safely, little Sirius Black is looking for him, he was seen not far from Aunt Harry's house."

"I want to see Harry." Angelo's heart tightened.

"Better not to go now, my dear. The Ministry will protect him." Amelia breathed a sigh of relief after drinking the milk, but her tired brows were still furrowed, "Harry Potter doesn't have anything yet You know, we are thinking about how to tell him and how much we should say."

"Harry is not a coward, he has the bravery of Gryffindor, Amelia." Angelo said proudly. "He has the right to know more than anyone else. Someone should tell him that a Death Eater is looking for him!"

"We'll tell him that, Angelo. The whole wizarding world is covered with wanted posters, and as long as Harry isn't a fool, he'll know about it sooner or later. But the problem doesn't stop there."

"Is there a more serious problem than this?" Angelo looked sideways.

"A fanatical Death Eater who escaped from Azkaban is scary enough. What if he is the one who betrayed the Potters to the Dark Lord? Such a shock for a child. And, This man is still Harry's godfather."

"What, Black is actually Harry's godfather!" Angelo was shocked, "...except me, Ron, do they know about this?" He stammered and asked.

"I asked Arthur not to tell his group of children, because the children of the red-haired family are very impulsive." Amelia patted Angelo on the shoulder and sighed, "Angelo, You're a bright boy. Maybe you can... Never mind, I'll arrange for you to meet Harry in a few days. Keep it quiet for now."

*****

"You already knew that Black was Harry's godfather, didn't you?" Once back in his room, Angelo locked the door and summoned the young Demon Lord.

"I don't understand why the Potter family wanted a Death Eater to be Harry's godfather! Did Black cheat them into their trust, or betrayed them to the Dark Lord? Tell me all you know, Viddy!"

"Angelo, this is the first time I've seen you so angry." The young devil projected from the ring, narrowing his eyes lazily.

"In my memory, I don't have any contact with Sirius Black. There is a man named Pediru who provided some interesting information to my main soul."

"Pedillo?"

"One of the few close friends of the Potter family," said the young Demon King, whose soul tablet absorbed from Harry Potter's scar had brought him convenience and trouble.Right now, for example, the feeling that the blond boy was hating another him through his face made him uncomfortable.

"So, Sirius Black may have been wronged!" The boy's face showed surprise.

"It's also possible that the memory I absorbed was not comprehensive, and Black betrayed his friendship." The young devil raised his eyebrows, displeased by the boy's excitement, "Anyway, he escaped and gave us a chance—to seize He, got the address of Black's house, and found a house-elf named Kreacher."

"Blake may be innocent!" Angelo stared fiercely at the cruel devil.

"So what?" the red-eyed man said indifferently.

"He's Harry's godfather..." Because of Viddy's indifferent glance, Angelo's momentum weakened, "I need your help, Viddy."

"I only care about my Horcrux, Angelo. Our contract is just that, nothing superfluous."

"But..." Angelo pursed his lips tightly, he was not sure whether the other party would agree to the following request.Vidi's indifference made him understand that even if it didn't harm the child who defeated his main soul, the red-eyed man was not without a little estrangement in his heart.

"I think we can add a little content to the contract..." Angelo set up a bet. "In exchange, both parties will each add a contract condition without violating morality—if you agree."

"Additional terms, this sounds very interesting." The young devil looked at each other, but there was no corresponding interest in his eyes. "...Are you doing this for Harry Potter?" The tone rose, and a smirk appeared on the corner of the young Demon King's mouth.

"It's a pity that the treaty with the added premise is boring."

"Harry is my friend." Angelo swallowed, feeling the temperature around him suddenly drop. "If Sirius Black dies, the bloodline of the Black family will be cut off-this is a pain that no ancient family can bear, and it is also the Lockhart family that my father belongs to, or any family with a long history... I feel the same sorrow."

"Hmph—" the red-eyed man let out a sneer, "Are you sad?" The corner of the young devil's mouth curved into a disdainful arc.

"As the last touch of Slytherin's blood, I don't feel this kind of sadness. I just feel ridiculous for the miserable end of my main soul."

"How many people celebrated when I was beaten by a little baby? Did they ever feel a little bit sad?"

"Vidi—" Angelo was suddenly speechless.Slytherin has a longer history than the Black family, but when Voldemort was defeated, everyone celebrated that day as a holiday.No one mourned the severance of the Slytherin bloodline. Those ancient families were either trying to protect themselves because they were attached to each other, and another group of people stood in the right team or watched the fire from the other side, in exchange for an all-night carnival.

Some people may have sighed for the fall of a generation of powerful kings, but that was only for the fate of the king himself.

Compared with the ancient family, the Dark Lord's own light has covered everything that was once glorious.Angelo sighed softly in his heart, the person standing in front of him had once been so powerful.

Compared with the man in front of him, he seemed too small, and Angelo felt a faint pain in his heart.The red-eyed man's eyes mixed with too many things burned him.Tell him to turn his head away and not dare to look at him.

"Yes—I allow you to add something to the contract." Just when Angelo thought he had lost the bet, the young devil spoke.

"Then what is your additional condition?" the boy asked carefully.

"I haven't figured it out yet." The young demon king's slightly closed eyes flickered. He looked at the boy in front of him, as if evaluating the value of a commodity, which made Angelo tremble with fear.

"Now you owe me a condition, Angelo." A spring-like smile swayed on the corner of the young devil's mouth, as if everything just now was just a boy's illusion.

"When I think about what I want, dear collaborator, don't tell me that you can't do it..."
