[HP] The Elegance of the Night

Out of the medical wing, Gilderoy Lockhart remained invisible until he returned to his room. He carefully cast the Soundproofing Charm, took out the double-sided mirror from the pocket of the Untraceable Stretching Charm, Looking into the mirror, he called his master's name.

After a while, Tom Slytherin's face appeared in the mirror.

That's right, he was Lockhart's master. Back then, Lockhart was not recruited into the Death Eaters team because he was too dandy. It was he who discovered the merits of this blond man and took Lockhart for his own use.

"Gidero, how is the matter going? I hope you brought me good news." Through the mirror, Lockhart could feel the aura of the man with red eyes. His master was so powerful. , Even the voice seems to contain intoxicating pure magic.

"It went well, my great master, everything was within your expectations." Lockhart said adoringly, all of Harry Potter's reactions were within the calculations of this powerful man, and he only had to say With the prepared lines, play with the savior in the palm of your hand.

"So, he accepted the potion?" Received Lockhart's affirmative answer, Tom raised the corners of his mouth happily, as long as Harry Potter accepted the potion, his goal would be achieved.

As soon as the Chamber of Secrets incident happened, he got the news from Lockhart, who had sent Lockhart to check the diadem in the Room of Requirement.

Lockhart didn't report to him that night, and Tom knew something must be wrong.Sure enough, the next afternoon, the blond man who was supposed to be teaching at Hogwarts appeared in Slytherin Manor. When he received news from the house-elf and saw Lockhart, the man's face was disfigured, and he was beaten. "Everything is empty"

Tom Slytherin restored Lockhart's memory, but Lockhart couldn't tell who attacked him. The only clue was that the enemy was invisible.

Before the semester started, Igil had said that Harry Potter had an invisibility cloak, and it was not hard to imagine who went to the Room of Requirement and hurt his loyal subordinates.

The little soul piece attached to the savior's lightning-shaped scar, if he stayed obediently, he would let it linger on, but greed made it lose its last chance.

The man with red eyes has already made a murderous move.But before that, the genuine Demon King will squeeze out the last bit of remaining value from that little soul piece...

His cute little soul piece has been hiding his identity from the savior, it is his clone, so he can guess all the means.

Trick, control, and occupy Harry Potter's body, and finally achieve the purpose of replacing it and becoming the new savior.

The plan was good, but unfortunately, the red-eyed demon king was the one who played the chess game.

He didn't let Lockhart tell the evil of the soul piece, Harry Potter would only think that the soul residing on the scar was really polluted by evil forces.

It was not his kindness to do so, to keep a little bit of the illusion of goodness only for the greater good.

The red-eyed man has made a plan. Since his soul piece has trained the savior for so long, while absorbing it, he will also absorb all the memories of accompanying the savior.

Harry Potter, the savior, must be very interesting if he can be trained as a sidekick.

This is the last value of this little piece of soul...

"Very well, Lockhart, if our savior wants to find me, you can tell him this address." The red-eyed man's face was blurred from the mirror, and a few lines of golden letters appeared on the double-sided mirror.

This is the house he prepared for Potter, and there are house elves stationed there all year round. As long as the savior appears there, he will know it immediately.

The red-eyed man was confident that Harry Potter would definitely come to him, and that bottle of potion would return this little soul piece to its original state—weak, helpless, and even worse than before.

Its power fades little by little, and every moment brings it closer to destruction.The soul movie's desire for power will make it even more evil and crazy.

When Harry Potter notices these changes, he will definitely come to him, whether begging him to destroy it or help it, it is a good time to take back the soul piece.

Of course, the premise of this series is that the savior will drink the bottle of potion.

Tom was not worried about this, since the potion Harry Potter took away proved that he had been shaken.

That bottle of potion will have very strong side effects, and the savior will deeply remember this kind of pain like a knife. This is the punishment Harry Potter will receive for not trusting the soul tablet.

The red-eyed demon king doesn't like to be betrayed, even if it's just a clone of him, even if it's planned by himself.

If you betray, you must be punished—this is the difference between Slytherin and Gryffindor. Since you have easily surrendered your trust, you should not take it back easily. The price must be paid.

"Great master, everything is according to your order." Lockhart wrote down the address with a smile on his face, and couldn't help showing his six teeth again.

"Gidero, did you really follow my orders?" Tom Slytherin's burgundy eyes widened.He has to beat this subordinate from time to time to prevent him from getting carried away in stages.

Guidero is as narcissistic as Lucius, but far less restrained and witty than Lucius.Fortunately, his loyalty makes up for these shortcomings.

Lucius—he had always thought that his loyal subordinate made a big mistake this time, and he would settle the account slowly—of course, this was without Regulus' intercession.

"Great master, everything I do is under your orders, except (the Bludger) - before coming to Hogwarts, you also allowed me to give Harry Potter a little trouble." Although he struck hard a bit...

Lockhart's frightened excuse must have been informed by Nagini to the master, and the stingy poisonous snake was retaliating against him for not feeding it on time!

"Forget about this time, Gildero. As a punishment, I won't give you what you asked for last time. Let's change it to a reward. Gallon, potion, or contraband? Say what you want , as long as I can satisfy you."

"I want Severus Snape, master, please give him to me, he was your former subordinate."

"Gidero! Don't say such nonsensical words anymore," the red-eyed man raised his forehead, and began to consider whether to direct this beautiful golden man to Avada. His connotation is far less glamorous than his appearance.

"If one day the dementor wants you from me, can I give you to it? You are my current subordinate."

Gilderoy Lockhart shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak any more. He just looked at his master with resentful eyes, and his reward was gone. Honeydukes Candy Shop's treasure of the town - dream fruit Honey pudding, because it is not easy to preserve, is only served internally.

If not for this, how could he have bought that gluttonous brat from the Malfoy family? It can only be blamed for the high price the first time he offered, and the lack of follow-up...

That's right, the Honeydukes Candy Shop is also under his master's name, which is why his master can confidently let the savior know of his existence.

His master held all the sweets supplied to Hogwarts' current headmaster, Dumbledore, and just poisoning the supply could kill the White Wizard, not to mention the bills that had accumulated over the years.

Dumbledore didn't care about the accounts, and all the finances were handed over to McGonagall to work hard. Those deliberately left behind bills with magical binding force were enough to instantly collapse Hogwarts' finances.

By then Dumbledore has become a big joke.

"Gidero, I have made Nagini responsible for the attack on the school, and I have a new task for you."

The perfect face of the red-eyed man was blurred again, and what was reflected in the double-sided mirror was an old diary, "It is very likely that it is in the hands of Ginny Weasley—find it and give it to me."

Tom Slytherin kept the Horcruxes a secret, and even this loyal subordinate knew only what he was supposed to know.

"Gidero, this is a black magic item, so you have to be careful, don't hurt your face by the things living in it, I don't want to spend any more effort to remove the scar for you!"

"I see, my lord—" The blond man touched his face subconsciously, Tom Slytherin nodded in satisfaction, his face gradually blurred from the double-sided mirror and then disappeared.

The red-eyed man had already set up his net, and it was only a matter of time before he could nibble at the prey. Horcruxes were more dangerous than he had imagined, and it was time to destroy them all.

Sleeping in the middle of the night, Igil felt something crawled up his bed and got into his quilt.He closed his eyes and grabbed it hard, and what he got was a cold and smooth touch.

[Hiss...it hurts!The snake is about to die—] The little snake's tail struggled and slapped the bed, waking up the other boy who was curled up in the quilt.

"What's the matter, Igil?" Draco rubbed his sleepy eyes, "Hey, isn't this your lost pet? It's amazing, it crawled back by itself."

[Hiss...Little Master Igil...Nagini is here...Master tells you to study at ease...With Nagini here, the villain who opened the secret room will not be able to escape...Hohoo] The girl's cheerful voice hissed With a loud noise, Igil closed his eyes again sleepily.

No wonder he didn't receive a letter from home. Papa Tom sent Nagini directly.This helper seems very unreliable, if possible, he would rather come by himself...

[Hiss... Nagini is hungry... Nagini is so hungry that he could eat a whole cow...] Igil threw Nagini off the bed with a flick of his hand, ignored its protest and continued to sleep with his head covered.The platinum-blonde boy leaned over, and after a while there was only the sound of steady breathing in the room.

[Hiss... hiss...] Master Tom is like this, the little master is still like this, the sad little snake swam away.

[Hogwarts kitchen, so you are the home of Nagini... Hiss]
