Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 276 A Different Malfoy Manor
After leaving Nurmengard, Ike and Lao Fu returned to England directly.

This time was different from last year, when they were still hiding, but now they are not so careful about their whereabouts, at least not as careful as last year.

The Ministry of Magic is now overwhelmed. During the period when they were not in the UK, giants, vampires, werewolves, and Death Eaters were wreaking havoc everywhere. Not only the wizarding world, but even Muggles were also greatly affected. .Those guys from the Ministry of Magic are busy with the aftermath every day, and occasionally catch some unlucky ones, and they can only be temporarily locked up in Azkaban.

This also makes their work more complicated, because Azkaban has lost the dementors, which are good and cheap guards.Lao Fu went to Azkaban before leaving, and easily abducted those guys.That night in the Department of Mysteries, the Ministry of Magic captured many Death Eaters, and they must not be allowed to escape from prison.

There is no other way but to send more manpower, which will make the manpower even more insufficient.

They easily returned to Malfoy Manor, and now it has become the base camp of Death Eaters, and it has completely lost the gorgeous and magnificent scenery before.

Entering through the gate, walking along the road in the manor to the castle, all you can see are wild weeds growing along the way, and the beautifully pruned plants are also scattered, as if some large animal has rolled over.

Lao Fu turned a blind eye to everything around him and walked straight into the castle.

The inside also changed its appearance, the long table in the basement was placed in the living room, the old chair was placed in front of the fireplace, Bella, Narcissa and little Malfoy stood beside the long table, Seeing Lao Fu and Ike come in, Qi Qi bowed.

"Owner."

"little Master."

"Ah, Bella, Narcissa, and Draco..." Lao Fu smiled at them, except Bella's body trembled slightly.

As if he didn't see it, Lao Fu went straight to his chair and sat down, waved his hand, motioned for them to find seats as well, and said: "I heard some rumors outside. Not to mention, you guys did a good job this time..."

No one answered, only Narcissa and Draco lowered their heads a bit.

"Don't be nervous, raise your head and tell me, how are you getting ready?" Lao Fu gently raised his hand, and Narcissa and Draco raised their heads unconsciously.Ike could see clearly that Narcissa was better, but Draco was in a cold sweat.

"Master...Master, Draco..." Narcissa was interrupted by Lao Fu before she finished speaking.

"Let him speak for himself!"

Draco's body trembled violently, he glanced at Lao Fu, and lowered himself under the gaze of those red pupils.

"I... I made some preparations..."

"Oh? What are you talking about?" Lao Fu tilted his body to make himself more comfortable.

"I... I found a broken disappearing cabinet and it has been repaired. Its other exit is in Hogwarts..." Draco said, "I think we can enter Hogwarts through it ..."

"What else?" Old Fu asked without saying anything after hearing the words.

"And... and..." Draco subconsciously glanced at Narcissa next to him, but didn't see his mother expressing anything, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "There is also poison."

"Poison? This is indeed a good idea." Lao Fu nodded, and tapped his fingers lightly on the long table in front of him, "I have to admit, you have thought of a good idea. After all, it is impossible for you to hold your Wand and go straight to kill that old fellow..."

He paused, then suddenly put away his fingers tapping on the table, sat up straighter, and spoke more seriously.

"It seems that Severus gave you some help?"

"Master!" Draco's body trembled violently, but Narcissa said immediately, "It's me! I went to find Snape..."

Lao Fu stretched out his right hand, interrupting Narcissa's words.Suddenly, he put away his frightening aura and said slowly, "I don't mean to blame you, the task is entrusted to you, it's up to you how to do it, I only care about the result."

As he spoke, he looked at Bella who had been looking at him with adoring eyes, and asked softly, "So, Wormtail is still with Severus?"

"Yes, master." Bella replied.

"He can come back. If I remember correctly, it will not be long before Hogwarts starts, and Severus needs to return to that old guy." Lao Fu said, "Next, we will Some people are needed... what about the others?"

"According to your order, they have all gone out to do things... But master, please forgive our incompetence, because of the Order of the Phoenix, many of our actions have not achieved the desired results..."

"If you fail, say you failed!" Lao Fu snorted coldly, and Bella was so frightened that she couldn't help shrinking her neck.

"Trash!" He slapped the table violently, "So a few people made you shrink back?"

"Owner……"

"Hmph!" Lao Fu still looked angry, and he looked at Ike, who was sitting beside him, who had been listening quietly, and said, "You go, I need to hear some pleasant news."

"You will, teacher." Ike nodded slightly and agreed.

Seeing this, Lao Fu showed a satisfied expression on his face, and when he looked at Bella again, his expression eased a lot.

"Bella..."

"Owner……"

"Go and call them back, I have something to tell them."

"Yes, Master."

Bella responded directly, then stood up and walked outside.Lao Fu waved to Narcissa and Draco again to let them go out as well, then called Ike to go down the stairs with him, and walked into the basement where he had been staying for the previous year.

Today's basement is empty, everything in it has been emptied.As soon as he came in, Lao Fu drew out his wand and closed the door, cast a spell on it, and then took out the small box that Ike gave him.

"Teacher?" Ike asked, watching Lao Fu take out the fruit of life in confusion.

"I need you to watch me take the life fruit. If there is any problem, you should know what to do." Lao Fu looked at Ike calmly and said.

"I understand, teacher."

Seeing that Ike responded, Lao Fu put the whole life fruit into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it directly.

He closed his eyes and waited quietly. It didn't take long for his face to turn golden, and the gray robe on his body was also bulging, as if blown by the wind.

As the golden light continued to flash, the original blood vessels on his face disappeared, the skin became delicate, even the nose with only nostrils grew back, and black hair appeared on the top of his bald head.

Lao Fu couldn't help moaning comfortably, but suddenly, the rippling golden light suddenly retracted from his body, and the newly grown nose and hair disappeared.

His face turned from yellow to red, and then from red to pale in the blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened.

Lao Fu is still Lao Fu, still the same as before.

nothing has changed...
