I'm the paper king at Hogwarts

Chapter 303 Louis' Manipulation
Karkaroff looked at the young man in front of him in amazement, and began to brainstorm.

He wasn't sure where the boy got the news from, Snape, Dumbledore, or the elders in the family mentioned it.

Seeing that Louis still had a half-smile, he decided to pretend to be confused and test Louis further.

"I don't quite understand what Mr. Mountbatten is talking about." Karkaroff pretended to be confused, and his acting skills were quite good. If Louis hadn't confirmed that he was a Death Eater, maybe he would have A little shaken.

It's too much alike.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." Louis raised the corners of his mouth and showed a noncommittal smile, "Anyway, I have plenty of time, Principal Karkaroff, at least now I don't feel burning on my arm, and no one is calling me, you say no ?"

"You..." Karkaroff stood up and glared at Louis, but Louis ignored him and just sipped Sakuya's black tea to himself.After a while, Karkaroff seemed to lose his strength, and sat back on the sofa with a somewhat relieved expression on his face.

"Yes, you are right, I was indeed a Death Eater once, tell me, did Severus tell you, or Dumbledore told you?"

Karkaroff's tone was somewhat broken.

"Of course they didn't tell me." Louis put down his teacup with a smile and raised his legs. "Don't worry, I know you escaped trial in the Wizengamot court, and of course I'm not interested in letting others judge you once."

"Then Mr. Mountbatten called me here, is there something wrong?" Karkaroff already had a completely flat attitude. He was not sure what Louis was going to do, so he could only see his tricks.

"I can remove the Dark Mark for you." Louis folded his arms leisurely, staring at Karkaroff with some teasing eyes.

Sure enough, when Karkaroff heard this sentence, he could no longer assume the attitude of lying flat. Instead, he suddenly stood up and asked tremblingly, "Really...? Are you serious? Yes. Help me remove the Dark Mark?"

Louis didn't speak, but looked at him intently.

"No, you are so young, how could you remove the Dark Mark? That's right, you must be deceiving me..." Karkaroff murmured.

Louis didn't defend himself, he just asked a question: "Do you know why when you went to find Professor Snape, he didn't panic at all about his reaction to the Dark Mark?"

Hearing the words, Karkaroff opened his mouth like a toad as if he had been struck by lightning. After a while, he stammered and asked, "Could it be...could it be you?"

Louis didn't answer his question, he still had the kind of restless eyes, and Karkaroff felt that he was going crazy.

He swears, if someone else today... well, someone who is not so strong dares to talk to him like this, he will definitely throw at least two Unforgivable Curses, but he really can't figure out what happened to Louis. It was not thought that a woman as proud as Catherine would commit herself to a man who was not as strong as she was.

According to this guess, he thinks that Louis is very strong, at least beating him is not a problem.

Facts have proved that he is indeed a person who survived under Voldemort, and his eyesight is still very good. He guessed more than half of it, but he didn't guess that Louis might not be able to beat Catherine when the two were together.

Of course, now that the offense and defense have changed, Louis often "beats" Catherine to beg for mercy.

"Yes, it must be you..." Karkaroff opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of ugly teeth, "You can help me remove the Dark Mark, but I need to pay the price, right?"

"You are a smart man, Principal Karkaroff." Louis said unhurriedly, while speaking, he raised his right hand in front of him and rubbed the belly of his thumb against the other nails.

Karkaroff was a little dazed, he didn't know what Louis was doing, and he couldn't figure out Louis' intentions at all. He sat on the sofa and racked his brains, but couldn't figure out what to say.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Louis snorted with his nose, beckoned Sakuya to come over, and then handed her his hand.

Sakuya leaned obediently beside Louis, grabbed Louis' hand, took out a nail file and began to polish his nails.

Karkaroff finally couldn't hold back, he asked tentatively: "Then what do you mean..."

While speaking, Sakuya finished filing a nail, took Louis' hand and blew it on his lips.

"Blow it again." Louis tilted his head and whispered to Sakuya.

Sakuya smiled sweetly, raised Louis' hand again, put it on his mouth and blew lightly.

"I'm willing to offer my loyalty..." Karkaroff said loudly without hesitation, he really couldn't bear the atmosphere in the room, Louis was obviously setting him up on the grill and roasting him slowly, this feeling It made him extremely tormented.

"As I said, you're a smart man, Principal Karkaroff." Louis looked at Karkaroff with a half-smile, until he got hairy, "If you're not as smart as I think, it seems that we There is no need for cooperation."

Karkaroff now feels that he would rather face Voldemort, and even feel a little more relaxed when facing Voldemort. At most, he is worried about whether he will die, but this feeling of guessing people's thoughts is really crazy Frustrated, Karkaroff was sweating profusely in panic, completely unsure of what this young man wanted, he was afraid that he might say the wrong thing, and if he took a wrong step, he would never be able to recover.

Wait... Karkaroff felt as if he had grasped something. He remembered the identity of Louis, who was a big figure in the Muggle world. A person like this would definitely not be satisfied with his own loyalty. Could it be that... ?
He felt his heart was about to jump out, and he finally grasped the negotiation code.

Thinking of this, Karkaroff no longer hesitated. He immediately knelt on the ground and said in an extremely obsequious tone: "Durmstrang is willing to dedicate his loyalty to you! My beloved Highness!"

Karkaroff's voice fell, and the room was silent, only the slight sound of Sakuya trimming his nails.Karkaroff fell on the ground, not daring to look up, he didn't know whether he made the right move or not.

Until Louis' voice sounded in my ear.

"See, Sakuya." Louis smiled. He tilted his head and said to Sakuya: "I still have some sense of people. I think a smart person will never be a fool."

As soon as these words came out, a big stone fell to the ground in Karkaroff's heart.He took a few breaths, and suddenly remembered the Dark Mark on his arm, and flatteringly said: "Your Highness, look at my Dark Mark..."

"The Dark Mark?" Louis looked at Karkaroff with a half-smile, "I don't remember any Dark Mark on you, do you?"

"But..." Karkaroff was about to say something when suddenly there was a thunder in his head.

Yeah, why is the burning and tingling feeling on my arm gone, and the feeling of calling myself?
He quickly rolled up his sleeves, only to find that the black mark on his right arm had indeed disappeared.

"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!" Karkaroff was overjoyed, and at the same time, a deep sense of fear arose in his heart. He was able to quietly remove the mark of the black demon on his arm. A simple character.

Now that he is only 14 years old, he has such strength. Karkaroff no longer dares to imagine how terrifying he can grow to be in the time of Louis.

I'm afraid it wasn't for Voldemort joining forces with Dumbledore and Grindelwald, wouldn't he be his opponent?Such a thought flashed through his mind inexplicably.

But he's clearly undersized.

"Get up, you are also a principal, what's the point of lying on the ground?" Louis motioned him to get up, and called back: "Kris?"

The door opened, and Maid Xiaolong walked to Louis, leaned over and asked, "Do you have any orders, master?"

"Put the cube out," Louis instructed.

Christaza froze for a moment before realizing who Cube was. She took out the diary from her dimensional pocket, shaking it in her hand, and the young Tom Riddle fell out of the diary.

"Fang Fang, long time no see." Louis said hello.

Cube stood up, patted the dust that didn't exist on his body, and saluted Louis respectfully: "Master..."

"Okay, I have a task for you." Louis pointed to Karkaroff who was stunned aside: "You should be familiar with this principal Karkaroff, and now your task is to protect him personally so that he does not Get hurt by Death Eaters, understand?"

"Yes." Cube saluted very respectfully.

Karkaroff looked at this "cube", no matter how he looked at it, he felt familiar. After a while, he finally found out who this cube looked like... No, it didn't look like it, it was clearly... Plus that diary, he quickly The son understood what.

Karkaroff seemed to be drowning, pointing at the cube with trembling hands, making a "ho ho" sound, but couldn't say a word.

"Is this what you look like when you meet an old friend? Igor?" Fang Cui looked at Karkaroff, who was not swearing, with a playful expression on his face.

Karkaroff choked for a long time, and finally popped out a few words: "You...you are...black...black..."

"Now I have been named by the master. You should call me Fang Fang, my dear Igor." Fang Fang showed a bloodthirsty smile at Karkaroff. Scary demon.

"Okay, square, stop teasing him." Louis reprimanded nonchalantly, "Your appearance is a bit illegal now, you should find a way to change it, I am really afraid that you will cause a riot in the magic world... ..."

"You are right, my beloved master." Cube said, changing his body and changing his face—a face that resembles a certain Hollywood star.

"Why does it look familiar to me?" Louis forgot for a moment who the cube turned out to be. He always felt familiar, but he couldn't pronounce the name just on the edge of his mouth.

Fang Cui said with a smile: "Marlon Brando, a very classic movie..."

Oh, Louis remembered, this outfit, this face, isn't it the image of the godfather in classic movies?
"It should be said that things in the Muggle world are not useless." Cube picked up his clothes, sniffed the roses hanging on his chest, and said in a classic voice: "If I could wander in the magic world like the godfather, maybe now Today's Dumbledore will not be my opponent."

"The forces that are forcibly bound together by violence will never last long." Louis said with a smile.

"Your wisdom is comparable to an entire ocean." The square version of the godfather said gracefully.

Catherine, who was sitting behind the desk, covered her mouth with a chuckle when she heard the words, and said to Louis, "Assyria..."

Louis turned his head and gave her a look, which means you wait tonight, I am angry, and the consequences are serious!
Catherine curled her lips and gave Louis a provocative look.

Louis felt ruthless in his heart, this was not an anger that could be appeased by calling daddy.

He turned to Karkaroff who was still staring at the cube in a daze and said, "You don't have to doubt, Principal Karkaroff..."

"Just call me Igor..." Karkaroff said obsequiously.

"Well, Igor," Louis said, introducing the Cube to Karkaroff, "You guessed it right, the Cube is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, but I have completely subdued it, so you don't need to worry about it." , he will only protect you now."

"Understand! Understood!" Karkaroff nodded his head, "I completely trust you and Hei..." At this point, he glanced at Fang Fang, and immediately changed his words: "There is also Mr. Fang Fang!"

"Hmm." Louis hummed in a nasal voice noncommittally, and began to order the eviction: "It's getting late, I think your classmates should be waiting impatiently?"

"Ah, don't tell me I really forgot..." Karkaroff grinned and said, "It's always so pleasant to talk to you, and I forgot the time before I knew it, so I'll leave first. Your Highness."

"Yeah." Louis nodded lightly, and when Karkaroff walked to the door, he reminded him in an inaudible tone: "Igor, you are a really smart person, aren't you?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness!" Karkaroff turned around and bent 120 degrees towards Louis, turned and left the office, and closed the door very intimately.

Sakuya looked at the closed door and said pointingly: "This principal Karkaroff does seem to be a smart man."

"Whether smart or not depends on what he does in the future." Louis snorted, looking ahead with flickering eyes, "Actually, there are no really smart people, and sometimes they can't be smart or stupid. Just use it, and throw it away when you get confused."

As he said that, he looked back at Catherine: "But your young wife is different. Sometimes she is not very smart, so I have to teach her a lesson, young master."

Catherine put down the book upon hearing this, tilted her head with a cute expression, nodded her lips with her index finger, and asked innocently: "Then how does the young master plan to teach his stupid girlfriend a lesson?"

Louis got up and walked to Catherine's side, stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "You'll know soon..."
