[HP] Years Whisk

"I found this one in an abandoned manor in Little Hangleton." Dumbledore put a black velvet box on the headmaster's desk in front of him, and tapped it with his wand to make it open automatically. Inside, a ring with a black stone lay there quietly.

"What is this?" Lucius narrowed his eyes, and cautiously picked up the ring with the snake teeth of the snake-headed staff in his hand, but his hand didn't touch the thing at all.

He put it in front of his eyes, looking at the strange, attractive shape and pitch-black color of the stone, a strong desire to hold it in his hand suddenly rose in his mind.wear it!As long as you wear it, you can make the Malfoy family stronger, and even make your family the number one in the entire wizarding world!

Lucius stretched out his hand towards the ring in a trance, but when he saw the wedding ring on his hand, he woke up instantly, and then slammed the ring hanging on the top of the snake head stick back into the black velvet box.There was a burst of magical light visible to the naked eye in the box, and then everything was quiet again.

"Damn! What the hell is this?" Lucius glared at Dumbledore suspiciously.If he hadn't come to the principal's office today in the name of the school manager, and many people had seen him, he would even think that this was a trap set by Dumbledore, and wanted to kill him quietly. to death.

"This is the same as the diary you gave me and the Slytherin locket. It is a Horcrux." Dumbledore pushed his glasses, "Actually, the material of this Horcrux is somewhat special—it is The Resurrection Stone, that's why you will be confused by it." He remembered that when he saw this thing for the first time, he stretched out his hand to it as if possessed by a demon.If the Elder Wand in his hand hadn't stung him hard like a bee, he would have almost put this Horcrux on his hand.Thinking of this, Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh slightly, Gellert...

"It's 1988 now. After all this time, you only found this?" Lucius taunted in order to regain some ground.

"I asked all the people alive who ever knew Tom Riddle, who you know as Voldemort. In fact, these people are not easy to find. Most of them have died at his hands The few who are still alive know very little about him. But, Lucius, as I think, Horace Slughorn does know a lot. Stuff. But he is a Slytherin just like you, and he used to be your headmaster, and you have taken his classes, so you should also know that that person's mouth is not easy to pry."

"It's only because of your Gryffindor's 'soft' method that you can't get information. If you give it to us Slytherin, if you want to know something, you can make that person speak immediately." Lucius said aggressively .

"But you have to admit that sometimes, 'love' is more effective than all means." Dumbledore said slowly with his hands flat on the principal's desk in front of him. "Do you think that Voldemort never thought of killing Horace Slughorn who knew so much about him? The fact that he survived Voldemort's grasp proves that his mouth is quite strict. So, you The method of talking didn't work. In the end, I took Horace Slughorn to Privet Drive, let him see the child left behind by James and Lily, and let him know that his deliberate concealment caused What kind of consequences did he have? Lily, a student he used to like very much, is no longer here. He let go of his mouth for a moment out of regret, and showed me something very, very important.

"Lucius, I guess now that Tom Riddle has divided his soul into several parts." Dumbledore made a gesture of the number 'seven', "This is a magical number, isn't it?"

"How come there are so many?" Lucius asked incredulously, "Does he think the soul is like cheap butter or cheese, you can cut as many slices as you want?" He frowned, "I don't Believe it. That person is also a descendant of Slytherin, so the heir education he received was eaten by slugs?"

"In fact, Tom Riddle is not a descendant of a powerful family, he is not even a pure blood at all, but a mixed blood. These things, I think, those of you who have followed him, don't know ?" Dumbledore looked at Lucius, and sure enough, he saw his distorted expression due to anger.

"That bastard! How dare he!" Lucius remembered the days when he had to kneel in front of Voldemort and obey his orders, the hand holding the staff clenched into a fist, making a 'click' sound .

"You have to admit, Tom Riddle is a smart man." Dumbledore said seriously, "He can easily grasp the weaknesses in everyone's heart, and then make good use of them. Although your father passed away Earlier, but Abraxas Malfoy used to go to school with Tom Riddle, so he might know something."

"Don't talk about my father and the Dark Lord together!" It was the first time since Abraxas's death that Lucius spoke the truth so passionately in front of outsiders. "That filthy bastard was the murderer of my father! I've tried to send someone to assassinate him a few times, but it didn't work."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" This time, it was Dumbledore who spoke in surprise.He asked a little puzzled, "Then why did you still choose to follow him? I haven't seen your hesitation or regret at all."

"Do you think the relationship between the Slytherin family is like those idiots in Gryffindor, who are playing 'mutual love' every day?" Lucius sneered, "Dumbledore Lido, I don't care about good or evil, as long as I can protect the one I love, I can do anything."

"This is really..." Dumbledore shook his head after listening to Lucius' words, and sighed softly. "But it never occurred to you: If you commit crimes to protect those you protect, will those you protect be happy?"

"They won't know," said Lucius decisively, casting a haughty glance at Dumbledore, who was looking at him from above his glasses, before adding, "Even if she knew, she would choose to stand with me." together."

"Although I don't agree with your point of view. But I have to say," Dumbledore took a candy from the drawer and put it in his mouth.There was some envy in his tone. "The relationship between you and Narcissa is very good, and it's not at all like the 'getting along' between most pure-blood family couples."

"You don't need a Gryffindor to judge the relationship between me and Narcissa." Although Lucius said this, his expression seemed a little proud, "You should pay more attention to it. You should pay more attention to it." Do things like the remaining four damn souls of the Dark Lord."

"I remember that after Bellatrix was imprisoned, her property was transferred to Narcissa as the first successor." Dumbledore suddenly brought up another topic.

"She doesn't know." Lucius rubbed his thumb at the top of his snake staff, "I signed the transfer agreement for her. I told Narcissa that her sister went to France with Lestrange, Went to reunite with the rest of the Lestrange family. Then I told the jury that Narcissa had just given birth and was not fit to appear in public, so the property agreement was executed by me, her husband, on her behalf ."

"So, sometimes I admire Narcissa more. Because, Lucius, you are such an arrogant and arrogant bastard. How can she bear to live with you for so many years?" Dumbledore took it easy Slowly said: "Do you really think Narcissa doesn't know anything? She's a clever witch." As a mutated old lion who wasn't as straightforward as other Gryffindors, he didn't want to say too much, I just mentioned it here, and then I went on to talk about business. "As Voldemort's most fanatical follower, would Bellatrix have received such a 'Horcrux' as proof that Voldemort favored her? Lucius, I need you to verify this matter one time."

Lucius did not agree immediately, but frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said to Dumbledore: "I will let the house-elf give Bellatrix the key to the Gringotts vault. For you, add my authorization letter, and you can do the rest by yourself."

After he finished speaking, he ignored Dumbledore's possible reaction and walked out of the principal's office.

In the corridor of Hogwarts, when he was about to reach the school gate, he saw Severus Snape, who he hadn't seen for a long time, dressed in a solemn black robe like a priest.

"Severus," Lucius called, stepping up to him.He looked at Severus Snape's simple and even sloppy wizard robes with some distaste, as well as his greasy hair that seemed to have not been washed for a long time, "All these years, you have been at Hogwarts Being a professor of Potions makes me live..." Lucius sarcastically said, "A house-elf?"

Severus ignored Lucius' sarcasm, he looked at Lucius with his dark pupils, and said to him, "We finally met, do you want to have a drink together?"

Lucius nodded, and followed him to Severus' office in the cellar.

In his office, Severus retrieved a bottle of aged wine from the top shelf of the bookcase, and from a pile of glass potion vessels, retrieved two wide-mouthed goblets.

Lucius frowned and looked at the dark surroundings: "Maybe, I should give you two house-elves from the Malfoy family? Look, the house-elves at Hogwarts are incapable of doing this." , I can't even tidy up anything."

"I don't like people touching my things, so I don't let those house elves into my office." Severus uncorked the wine, poured him and Lucius each a glass, Pass one of the cups to Lucius.

Lucius took the goblet with light dark red liquid, carefully checked whether there was any dirt on the mouth of the glass, and then shook it lightly, allowing the red wine in the glass to fully contact the air, emitting a rich aroma. booze. "Then you clean it like this by yourself, it is indeed 'clean'." He sniffed the aroma of wine in the air, took a sip of the red wine in the glass, raised his left eyebrow, "70 years old Bordeaux Red? You really enjoy it."

"It was just a gift from someone else by chance." Severus drank the red wine in his goblet in one gulp, pressing the juice under his tongue to savor its aftertaste. "A gift from the mother whose potion I brought back that man."

"Severus, I've always wanted to ask you a question." Lucius took another sip of the red wine in his glass, "Obviously with your reputation, you don't have to stay in this little Hogwarts to teach Those little wizards who have no foundation in potions, or even have any talent in potions. You should go to a bigger stage to show the world your talent in potions. So—" he asked sharply, "you shrink here , Is it because you still can’t forget her? That bitch witch who has already died?”

Severus didn't answer 'yes' or 'no'.He just refilled himself a glass of wine in silence, and drank it in one gulp.

"So, for so many years, since you haven't gone out, why don't you go to see the child she left behind? The one called 'Harry Potter', the savior in people's mouth?" Lucius continue to ask.

After a long time, Severus' deep voice sounded slowly: "I went to see it once, far away." He was silent for a while before continuing, "Lucius, you know, in this world, I Who is the person you hate the most?"

Without waiting for Lucius' answer, he said to himself, "It's James Potter."

"I hate him more than the Dark Lord who killed Lily.

"It's not that he ever bullied me, but that I took a step back and chose to give my beloved girl to him, but what about him? He failed to protect her well.

"The mediocrity. Arrogant, rule-breaking, pushy, reckless.

"How could Lily choose him?"

He covered his face with some remorse, his tone full of pain and struggle. "So, don't. Don't let me see that little brat with Potter's face again. I'm afraid, if I can't see his eyes, only see his figure and face, I can't help but kill him his."

Some people may have many male and female companions, but their hearts are empty and there is no one.

But there will also be people who are lonely and lonely, and they can't forget the person they only met for a short time, and the love is a lifetime.
