Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Chapter 377 Private meeting

In Knockturn Alley, Lucius Malfoy, who lowered his cloak to cover his face, was walking with a sad expression. The article published in a magazine he had never heard of before had recently caused him a lot of trouble. , although Minister of Magic Fudge has made it clear to himself that he will not believe such nonsense, this does not mean that everyone does not care. He can feel the true thoughts behind some people's expressions. When he sees doubts, he has to I admit that this ridiculous article has affected the minds of many people.

He had just come out of a medicine shop in Knockturn Alley. Although he didn't want anyone to see him in Knockturn Alley at this time, he had to come and see the man Yaxley had found who could brew wolf. The potion master of the poison potion, even if he was just going through the motions, he needed to make the Dark Lord feel that he took these things seriously enough.

Just as he was about to turn out of Knockturn Alley, he felt someone tap him on his shoulder. His heart sank. Did he still get recognized despite being so low-key?

Lucius turned around impatiently, but he didn't see anyone. Only a hanging leather glove dangled in front of him, and then made a handshake gesture towards him. Lucius looked around, then quickly grasped the weird leather glove, and then disappeared from Knockturn Alley.

After a moment of spinning, Lucius appeared in a dim cabin. What appeared in front of him was an older wizard with long silver-white hair, a silver-white beard, and half-moon glasses.

"Meeting at this time is not a wise choice!" Lucius walked to the window and looked outside. The roads were full of Muggle cars. It seemed that they were in the Muggle world now. , "I think Severus should have told you everything about the Dark Lord."

"So I asked you to come here for other reasons." Dumbledore poured a cup of tea with a relaxed expression and handed it to Lucius. "Don't worry, this is my safe house. No one will notice. Our meeting.”

Lucius took the tea cup, swung the black tea in the cup, and his frown eased a little, "What do you want to say?"

"First of all... I want to tell you that I left Sybil behind." Dumbledore said slowly.

"What!" Lucius excitedly placed the tea cup on the coffee table nearby.

"I understand your intention. You want to prevent Voldemort from obtaining the information in the prophecy ball, but I cannot agree with your approach. It is unnecessary to sacrifice Sybil." Dumbledore said.

"I was trying my best to delay the Dark Lord from getting the prophecy ball, but you ruined my plan because of your kindness. Now the Dark Lord's target will become that boy again! I heard that his Occlumency is not The Dark Lord has begun to notice the slightest progress. If the Dark Lord uses him to obtain the prophecy ball, it will be all because of your kindness at this moment!" Lucius said angrily.

"Severus is already training him intensively. As long as he is still at Hogwarts, Voldemort cannot attack him." Dumbledore sighed softly, with a trace of fatigue on his face, "Order of the Phoenix Members will also step up surveillance of the Department of Mysteries."

"You'd better make sure he doesn't sneak out of Hogwarts!" Lucius said to Dumbledore with a serious expression.

"Let's talk about another thing!" Dumbledore changed the subject. "It's about Nydia."

"What do you want to do to Nydia?" Lucius's expression became more serious.

Dumbledore looked at Lucius in surprise, "It seems he cares about her!"

"If I let anything happen to her, my wife and son will not let me go." Lucius turned his head to the side.

"Don't be too nervous. I don't plan to do anything to Nydia. I just hope you can persuade Ward to let Nydia and Voldemort have more contact." Dumbledore said.

"Why don't you go talk to Ward yourself? What's your idea?" Lucius looked at Dumbledore in confusion, trying to figure out his intention from his expression.

"I think it's up to you to persuade him to be less emotional. As for my plan... it's natural for Nydia to learn more about Voldemort!" Dumbledore explained.

"Are you crazy?" Lucius looked at Dumbledore in disbelief, "Let Nydia get in touch with and understand the Dark Lord more? Aren't you worried that Nydia will be bewitched by him? What if that damn thing The spell has been cast on the Dark Lord again, so we might as well surrender to him completely."

"You can rest assured about that spell. If it is said to be cast on someone...for now, your son is the most likely." Dumbledore slowly told them about the sacrifice they had left out. Lucius was told the key points of the guardian spell, and Lucius fell into deep thought for a moment.

"...The Dark Lord doesn't seem to know this yet!" Lucius recalled the Dark Lord's several contacts with Nydia. "But if he knows this, he will definitely be angry. At that time, Nidia's situation will be dangerous. You know what will happen, but you still let Nidia have more contact with the Dark Lord!"

"Nitya has always been full of curiosity about Voldemort. She wants to know him in her heart, otherwise she would not take the risk of coming to Hogwarts. If she has been in a state of speculation about Voldemort, she will It is easy to be deceived by some of the illusions displayed by Voldemort. Only by truly understanding Voldemort can she know how to distinguish his behavior." Dumbledore paused and then said, "In addition, I also want to bet... …Does Voldemort really have no emotion at all?”

"How can he be like this even if he has this? At most, we can only be sure that Nydia will be safe." Lucius said incomprehensively. "But if not, by sending Nitya to him like this, we are asking her to die!"

"It's only a matter of time before Voldemort knows the truth about the spell, and Nydia's safety will be threatened sooner or later, but if he really still has some feelings for Nydia! Then Nydia will be safe, More importantly, Voldemort has a weakness!" Dumbledore looked at Lucius. "Do you think it's more likely that Voldemort will develop feelings for a daughter he doesn't know, or for a daughter he's spent more time with?"

"What do you want to use Nydia for?" Lucius asked cautiously.

"The importance you attach to her really surprises me, Lucius!" Dumbledore looked at Lucius again. "I don't intend to use her to do anything dangerous, but I just hope that she can use Voldemort to deal with her." Her emotion comes to protect me something I value, don’t you want the things you value to be protected?”

The images of his wife and son kept flashing in Lucius's mind. This was a risky move. If they failed to succeed, they would undoubtedly push Nidia into the abyss in advance, but if they succeeded... Lu Xiu Si was silent. He had to admit that he was selfish in his heart. He hoped that the safety of his wife and children could be protected!

"It's impossible for Ward to agree!" Lucius said slowly.

"Then we just need to tell him part of our idea!"

Dumbledore's blue eyes looked at Lucius through half-moon lenses, as if he had seen through his inner thoughts. Only at this moment did Lucius understand why Dumbledore asked him to persuade Ward, because he needed to A person who supports his ideas, and Dumbledore also knows that he will definitely agree with his approach for the sake of his family.
