Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 492 Difficult Malfoy
The family has already given way, and Lucius naturally had to be ignorant. He took a deep breath and continued to walk towards Voldemort not far away, carrying the disappearing cabinet.

It's just that his walking speed was very slow, and his face was pale, as if the disappearing cabinet was very heavy.

But the main reason for this situation is not the Vanishing Cabinet, but the Death Eaters surrounded on both sides of the 'road'.

They looked at Lucius with malice, sarcasm and gloating, which made Lucius furious.

After all, he provided these people's food and drink expenses during this period, but now they look at themselves like monkeys.

Suppressing his anger, he passed through the crowd. At this moment, Lucius no longer cared about how Voldemort knew the news. He gently placed the disappearing cabinet on the ground, knelt down on one knee and pointed at the Dama Golden Knife. Voldemort, sitting at the head of the long table, said:
"Master, I have already brought back the disappearing cabinet."

Voldemort laughed and got up and walked quickly to Lucius. The hem of his robe fluttered with his movements, and his shape was like a ghost.

Lucius closed his eyes instinctively, but Voldemort didn't care about him at all, but reached out and touched the disappearing cabinet that still had dust on it.

"Yes, it is indeed the disappearing cabinet." Voldemort fumbled for the disappearing cabinet and said in a cold voice, "but how can you be sure that it is only a pair with the one in Hogwarts?"

As soon as Voldemort finished speaking, Bellatrix walked out with two people under his pressure. Lucius took a closer look, and then his eyes were tearing apart, because the two were Draco and Narcissa.

At this moment, Draco and Narcissa no longer had the aristocratic air they had in Diagon Alley. Draco was shaking like chaff, while his mother hugged him and comforted him softly while weeping.

"Master asked you something!"

Bellatrix patted Draco on the shoulder to remind him, but her action made Draco tremble even more.

He stammered and said:

"I...I swear it must be true."

"What I want is proof."

Voldemort's cold voice came again, this time Draco really panicked, he looked helplessly at Bellatrix, according to his mother, Bellatrix was his My aunt, the other party should not watch her being punished by the master.

Lucius, who was kneeling on one knee beside him, blushed anxiously at this moment. He raised his head suddenly, looked at Voldemort pleadingly and said:

"Severus! Let Severus go, he is now the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, he must have a way to prove it!"

As soon as this remark came out, the Death Eaters jeered in the dark and spacious meeting room, and Voldemort standing in front of Lucius also grinned, letting out bursts of laughter like night owls.

Everyone present thought that Lucius was probably crazy.

Snape, a spy, had never been trusted by Voldemort. His absence today proved that Voldemort didn't want him to know about it, but Lucius suggested that Snape investigate it?
How stupid!

Hearing the ridicule echoing in his ears, Lucius' face flushed red, and he himself quickly figured out the key point, gritted his teeth and lowered his head.

Voldemort glanced at Lucius who was kneeling on the ground with disdain, turned his head and grinned and said to Draco:
"Well, Draco, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll send someone with you later, and I'll trust you as long as the two of you use this disappearing cabinet for yourself. How?"

As soon as these words came out, Naxisha and Lucius immediately despaired.

Space teleportation is an extremely dangerous magic, and if it is not done properly, it will cause disability or even death.

Now the disappearing cabinet in front of them can't prove that it can continue to be used. If something happens on the way, Draco may never come back!

It's a pity that although Voldemort used interrogative sentences, he didn't mean to give Draco a choice at all. Before he could answer, he looked at the gathered crowd and said:

"Which one of you would like to take a trip with Draco?"

Voldemort's voice echoed in the chamber, but the crowd that was noisy just now was completely silent, and the Death Eaters standing at the front of the crowd were even trying to squeeze back, trying to hide themselves so as not to be caught. Voldemort chose it, but it's a pity that the people behind them also looked the same, those people grabbed their bodies tightly, making them unable to move.

Voldemort's face darkened all of a sudden, he obviously overestimated the loyalty of these people to him.

And at this moment, Bellatrix stood up.

"I go!"

Bellatrix's voice attracted everyone's attention, and she glanced at everyone with disdain, and said sarcastically:
"They're all a bunch of cowards!"

There was a moment of commotion in the crowd, but it finally calmed down.

There are even quite a few people looking at Bellatrix with a smile on their faces. In their eyes, a coward is just a coward, as long as he can survive, he will do whatever he wants.

Voldemort's expression became a little better, he laughed and said:

"Bellatrix, you are indeed my most loyal subordinate!"

Bellatrix smiled happily. She reached out to hold Draco's hand and was about to pull her courage forward, but she was stopped by Naxisha at the side.

"Bella..."

Naxisha said softly, her eyes were full of pleading.

"Don't worry!"

Bellatrix nodded impatiently, and then dragged the terrified Draco into the disappearing cabinet without hesitation.

As the door of the disappearing cabinet was slammed shut, the meeting hall was once again silent. The Malfoys and even Voldemort stared at the door intently, waiting for the result.

But most of the Death Eaters below were smiling.

In their opinion, a woman like Bellatrix is ​​a complete fool!Otherwise, it would be too late for ordinary people to hide from this kind of bad luck, so who would take care of it?
Time passed bit by bit, and the longer the two entered the disappearing cabinet, the more gloating on the faces of the Death Eaters.

Lucius' heart was also falling into the abyss of despair at this moment. He really wanted to rush up and fight Voldemort at this moment, but the remaining rationality made him lower his head tightly, so as not to let Voldemort see the expression on his face. hate.

Voldemort is not having a good time now, his heart is full of irritability, if Bellatrix and Draco really can't come back, then he will lose Bellatrix and the Malfoy family. Tools, this is obviously a bad deal.

Voldemort couldn't help but start to feel a little regretful.

Just when everyone was thinking, the door of the disappearing cabinet was opened again, Bellatrix got out with an excited face, followed by Draco, and at the moment in Bellatrix In Latrix's hand, he was holding a helmet of knight armor, and there was even a Christmas hat on it!

"The disappearing cabinet is fine, we were indeed transported to Hogwarts!"

Bellatrix respectfully handed the helmet in her hand to Voldemort, and said suppressed excitement.

"Good, very good!"

Voldemort stroked the helmet, a wide smile on his face.

He felt a very familiar aura on this helmet, it was a unique smell belonging to Hogwarts Castle!

……

At the same time, in Foley Manor, Mike was smiling and looking at Uncle Mario in front of him.

At this time, Mario Foley was much older than the last time we met, and there were many gray hairs on the sideburns. It seemed that he was very worried recently.

But his spirit is very good, sitting there like a big bell, his expression is very serious.

On the other hand, Mike couldn't do it. He crossed his legs casually, and asked with a relaxed expression:

"Uncle Mario, where's Ebut, why didn't I see him today?"

As soon as Ebut was mentioned, a smile appeared on Mario's face, and he said while laughing:
"He, I have already sent him to the United States. Now he has become an Auror of the Magic Congress of the United States.

Hehehe, the group of country bumpkins in the United States think that he is of noble blood and strong ability, and he is also rich, so they have been licking him all the time! "

Mike nodded with a smile, he was not surprised that this happened.

But Uncle Mario obviously didn't say he was enjoying himself, he lifted the expensive black tea on the coffee table and drank it, and then said:

"Now, the Foley family has basically established a firm foothold in the United States, and I have already transferred most of the industries that can be transferred. As for the remaining industries, it depends on the situation in the United States. But I have already I figured it out, those properties can be kept as long as they can, and I don’t feel bad if they can’t be kept and destroyed, anyway, for the Foley family, it’s just a drizzle.”

Uncle Mario is obviously very proud of the progress of the Foley family, and even imitated Mike's appearance and crossed his legs.

Mike, on the other hand, acted a little flat, just smiled indifferently.

In fact, to be honest, the progress of the Los Santos Group entering the United States is much faster than that of the Foley Group.

You must know that the Magic Congress in the United States is extremely contradictory. On the one hand, they crazily worship those purebloods with pure blood, but on the other hand, equality of blood is politically correct there.

Based on the second point, the Los Santos Group created by Mike, whose main body is composed entirely of wizards of Muggle descent, naturally received many preferential policies in the United States.

Today's Los Santos Group has completely knocked on the door of the American market with two of its flagship products, Los Santos Magic Cloth and Los Santos Magic Liquid, and other industries are also entering the market one after another.

Of course, it is not so easy to achieve this. Although the entry of the Los Santos Group has brought more business taxes to the Magic Congress of the United States, they still have to protect local companies and will not let the Los Santos Group Completely settled in the United States to squeeze the living space of their local companies.

But this does not mean that the Los Santos Group is stronger than the Foley family. You must know that the Los Santos Group and the Foley family are actually going in two completely different directions.

Among them, the Los Santos Group focuses on the business activities of the middle class, while the Foley family takes the aristocratic route, making friends with the top veteran aristocrats in the United States.

This means that there are many things that the Foley family can do that the Los Santos Group cannot, which is why Mike and Uncle Mario can still maintain a good relationship today.

Among the social relationships of adults, pure feelings are the most unreliable, and only interests are the most important chains that bind both parties!

After chatting for a while, Mike didn't want to ink any more.

He straightened his face and said to Mario with a serious face:

"Uncle Mario, I don't know what happened to the matter I asked you to find out for me?"

"You're talking about the Kent family?" Mario smiled happily, "I've already inquired for you, and a few years ago there was indeed a family named Kent who immigrated from China to the United States.

According to those old guys, that person named Kent still wanted to blend into their circle at that time, but that person was really too poor, and his blood was not as pure as he said, not even the sacred 28 clan. .So after being teased by those veteran nobles, he disappeared. "

Hearing this, Mike immediately became interested. Right now, the Kent family can be said to be the only way for Mike to find Chris. The news brought by Uncle Mario is obviously extremely useful.

And Mario on the side also saw Mike's excitement, he leaned towards Mike and asked seriously:
"What? Is there something wrong with the Kent family?"

"There are indeed some questions. Where are they living now? Can you provide a more specific location?"

Uncle Mario rubbed his chin and said:

"The only thing I can be sure of now is that they are still in the country of America. But you don't have to be disappointed. The country of America is not like the country of the United States. They can't hide such a big family. I guess I can give you accurate news before Christmas. "

A smile suddenly appeared on Mike's face. Uncle Mario had indeed brought him good news.

"If so, please trouble Uncle Mario."

"Hahaha! You're welcome! You're welcome!"

Mike and Mario laughed at each other, the latter's laughter was so heroic that it hurt Mike's eardrums.

But when the two were laughing wildly, a series of crisp knocks on the door came.

Uncle Mario, who was still laughing just now, immediately became gloomy.

This is his home, and before he and Mike came in, he had ordered the servants at home not to see anyone, so the knock on the door at this time seemed to hit him in the face.

But he also knew that the other party would not bother them if it was not an important matter, so he didn't have an attack, but shouted in a muffled voice:

"Come in!"

The door of the reception room was opened, and the person who came in was not the servant as Mario expected, but a handsome Asian boy, who was Zhou Hong.

After Zhou Hong came in, he was not timid. He nodded to Mario and took it as a greeting, then leaned into Mike's ear and muttered in a low voice.

Seeing that Mike's eyes are getting brighter, and the rate of increase is getting bigger and bigger, Mario finally couldn't help asking:
"Mike, did something good happen?"

"A good thing?" Mike glanced at Uncle Mario and said excitedly, "Yes, it's a good thing, a great thing. If this goes well, Uncle Mario's property in the country probably won't need to be destroyed. Lost!"
