[HP] The Last Demon King

What Voldemort arranged for Eridins was a large bedroom with a balcony on the second floor. The room was in the same style as the whole mansion, with oppressive black and bloody red filling the entire space, but compared to the gloomy atmosphere in the hall outside, , every decoration in the bedroom is filled with the magnificence and extravagance of female aristocrats.Folds of dark red brocade were stacked on the ceiling, and the dark red brocade stretched to the four corners of the room, and then fell down, casually twisted into a loose but delicate flower knot.A large bed with a width of more than two meters was covered with a smooth and smooth silk quilt. On the thick black background, bright and slender umbrella-shaped flowers bloomed dazzlingly in the darkness.

It was a decadent and luxurious aristocratic bedroom, as it was when Eridins first arrived, but it has been spoiled by an old workbench and cauldron, the black cauldron bubbling with steam. , the liquid in the pot glowed with a faint blue light, and a stirring rod was obviously not controlled by anyone, but it was operating in a regular and autonomous manner.

Eridins was quietly flipping through a book called "The Lost Ancient Magic" on the recliner beside her. Suddenly, there were several knocks on the door.

She put down her book, walked over and opened the door, and Lucius, who was pale and haggard, was outside the door.

"It's time for a meeting." Lucius' gaze didn't meet Eridins's, but just slipped past her.

Eridins nodded slightly, she closed the door behind her back and walked forward.

Eridins didn't know why Voldemort suddenly agreed to meet Lucius and his family, but obviously Lucius still hadn't regained Voldemort's trust, or even worse, Lucius needed someone to meet Voldemort now. The trustee introduced.

Aridins and Lucius went to a large copper python-wreathed door on the first floor and went in together.

In the room transformed into a meeting hall, Mrs. Malfoy stood up as soon as she heard the door open. Her usually pale face was now as white as a thin sheet of white paper, with a gloomy and uneasy expression.On the couch where she had been sitting, there was another person whom Eridins had not expected.

As soon as Malfoy's eyes fell on Eridins, he didn't move, and when Eridins met his gaze, she stopped involuntarily.

It was a look that made even Eridins daunted. If the eyes are the windows of the soul, then what Eridins saw through this window at this moment must be a black swamp, inside which was tumbling, was The anger left far away is the pain that has been tortured for a long time, it is deep love, and it is also hatred.

At the moment when Eridins was stunned, Narcissa had already rushed in front of Lucius, grabbing his arm with both hands, her lips trembling and unable to speak, her eyes were full of tears.

Lucius obviously didn't know in advance that his son would be present at this meeting. He stroked Narcissa's back to comfort her, but looked over her shoulder at Malfoy, and asked with a frown, "Why are you here?" ?”

At this moment, Malfoy slowly stood up from the sofa, walked to Lucius' side, and called Dad in a low voice.His gaze was so calm that one wondered if the impressive glance just now was just an illusion.

"I'll wait outside." Although Voldemort asked Aeridins to monitor the meeting, she offered to wait outside.

Lucius looked at her and whispered thank you.

After Aridens left the meeting hall, she stood beside the door. After a few minutes, the imposing door opened again, and Malfoy walked out from it. come over.

He walked up to Eridings slowly, and looked down at her deeply. Malfoy seemed to be looking for some expression on Eridings's face, but he was disappointed.

Malfoy whispered, "...is this the first time you've left without saying goodbye?"

Although he tried his best to pretend to be calm, the depression he unconsciously brought up betrayed him.Malfoy clasped his hands at his legs, looked intently at Eridins, and said in a low voice, "How many times will I have to wait before you tell me about yourself, instead of telling me when it's over?" Heard it from others?"

"It's not targeting you alone. In order to prevent the news from leaking, I didn't tell anyone." Eridins looked directly into his eyes and replied calmly.

"That's right, you always treat people equally. You don't trust me, just like you don't trust anyone else." He mocked coldly.

Eridins didn't contradict, he was right, she trusted no one but herself in matters of real importance.Malfoy was right, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Let's sign the Loyalty Curse."

For a moment, Eridins thought she heard it wrong, but Malfoy looked her in the eyes and repeated again: "Sign the Loyalty Charm with me, and I can swear that I will never betray you."

"……why?"

"You are more willing to believe in cold things than what I say. Then let's sign the oath, if it makes you trust me at ease." Malfoy said sneeringly.

She was silent for a while, and just about to write something, the door of the meeting hall opened again, and this time Lucius and Narcissa came out together, and Eridins noticed that Lucius had already grasped a stick in his right hand. New wand, but for some reason, his face looked worse than before.

Lucius was not surprised to see Malfoy standing with Aridens. He walked towards Aeridins and said slowly: "The person sent by the Dark Lord to meet Narcissa said that the Dark Lord is going to meet him tonight." Summoned Draco at the meeting..." He was not simply passing the news to Eridins, who heard his unspoken plea.

Lucius had just lost, and Voldemort hadn't shown any signs of forgiving him, and now that Voldemort had suddenly summoned Lucius' only son, Eridins didn't think Voldemort was trying to reward him.

Eridins looked at Malfoy, apparently he didn't think he was here to accept a reward, his calm face just now could not help showing a trace of fear after Lucius mentioned Voldemort.

Eridins looked at him calmly, "Don't worry, I'll be there too."

Malfoy pursed his lips tightly, as if restraining some impulse, he hid all his emotions behind a deadpan mask, and looked at Eridins silently.

The fiery sunset was burning outside the window, and people in black robes apparated to the gate of the manor and hurried in. The mansion, which had always been dead, seemed to come alive suddenly, and there were hurried footsteps and low voices everywhere. talk loudly.

"What's going on? What's the matter today?" Lucius frowned and looked at Eridins anxiously.

Since World War I at the Ministry of Magic, the number of Death Eaters has dropped by one-half. The so-called gathering is nothing more than a dozen people gathering to exchange information. Such a large-scale presence of people in the mansion is a sign of the Ministry of Magic. It was the first time since the war.

Eridins shook her head; she hadn't heard a word from Voldemort.

Eridins led the Malfoys down a dimly lit corridor, stopping at a black door carved with all sorts of distressed faces, then turned the handle and walked in.

The hall was divided into two halves by a dark red carpet reminiscent of dried blood. Dozens of people with different faces were sitting on each side. Eridins saw many familiar faces inside, but her gaze was only After being attracted by these people for a short while, he returned to the center of the hall: there, Voldemort sat alone on a high platform one or two feet high, looking down at them who had just walked in.

"Arridins, come here. Malfoy—" He paused, and glanced casually at the seat on the right: "Sit next to Wormtail."

There was no seat next to Voldemort, but on this occasion, just standing next to him was a badge of honor.

Aridins walked up the three steps and stood by Voldemort's right hand, her eyes fixed on Malfoy as he sat down beside Wormtail with his parents with a worried look on his face.

Only then did Eridings turn her gaze to the arena. There were 26 chairs and all seats were filled. Apart from familiar faces like Arnold and the others, Eridings also saw many people who had never been in this mansion before.

"Okay, everyone is here. Let's start directly." Voldemort's clear voice was transmitted among everyone, his body was leaned back on the chair back softly, his posture was tired, and the look in his red eyes But sharply glanced at the people below. "I think you all know that in the battle of the Ministry of Magic, we lost many brothers. In order to make up for this loss and keep our business going smoothly, we can only absorb new blood to strengthen ourselves."

Aridins looked at Malfoy, seeing him looking puzzled, and Lucius beside him was already frowning.

"The next ones whose names I will call are our new family members—" Voldemort read a name, and a man about 30 years old in the audience quickly stood up, walked to the carpet in the center of the hall and knelt nervously Down.

"Engrave the mark." Voldemort raised his wand and waved it lightly. A painful expression flashed across the man's face. The distorted facial features returned to normal after a few seconds. He crawled up the steps, knelt and kissed Voldemort's robe , Voldemort nodded slightly to him, and the man stepped back and sat back in his seat with relief.

A total of eleven people were imprinted on the spot by Voldemort as Death Eaters. From then on, these people could call themselves Death Eaters, wear silver masks, and call Voldemort their master.

"Draco Malfoy." Voldemort's tone turned cold, and he whispered Malfoy's name in a tone completely different from before.

Eridins raised her lowered eyelids and saw Malfoy stand up nervously, his face pale and bloodless.
