The Black Family Castle was busy with traffic today. Taking advantage of the incident in the Forbidden Forest, Cole held a banquet to celebrate.
Many families came to participate with their wives and children. The women and children were received by Meira. Martin also showed the excellence of the family heir and imitated Cole's example of hospitality.
The Black family's status in England is now rapidly improving, especially with the emergence of a person like Cole.
More than ten years ago, the talent of the Black family withered, and Sirius was gradually forgotten. Almost no one paid attention to a wizard who was in Azkaban and was expelled from the family.
Similarly, the wizards who entered Azkaban did not come out alive, and the dementors tortured the prisoners who were worse than death and could only wait for death.
Cole walked among the nobles with a wine glass, changing glasses. Fudge was missing from such a scene. This old guy still expected the nobles to support him.
Wright came over and told Lucius that he was coming with his family, and Cole put down his wine glass and went outside to greet him.
Lucius today, I don’t know whether it was because of what happened that day or something else. He always actively participated in the banquets in the past, but this time he was late.
"Lucius, you are late, they are all waiting for you."
Facing Cole's enthusiasm, Lucius was a little unnatural, but he also said:"Sorry, it's late. Narcissa took a while to choose the gift."
Facing this cousin, Cole had nothing to say. Cole never cared about her thoughts and just said perfunctorily:
"Narcissa, Meera is waiting for you over there."
Looking at Draco who was following Narcissa,"Draco, Martin and the others have a lot of good things to share with you, go ahead."
Only Cole and Lucius were left. On the way into the living room, Lucius said tangledly:"Cole, there are some things I want to talk to you about."
Cole didn't stop and just responded lightly.
"Okay, if you're not in a hurry, we can go to the study and sit for a while later."
"certainly."
No wonder I saw something wrong with Lucius today. I am afraid that Lucius wants to show off his cards with him.
Cole had a hunch in his heart that Lucius was probably talking about Voldemort.
Harry, the savior, said in the first year Something different happened at Hogwarts. The nobles were not fools, let alone Lucius, the slipperiest among them. The Malfoy family, no matter how crisis the wizarding world was, could always save itself in the end.
Looking at the overall situation, Coe even thought that the Malfoy family was the master of fate in this world.
All wizards born in Slytherin would remember these four words, but the only one in the wizarding world who can really do this is the Malfoy family. Without further ado, he brought Lucius to the living room, and the atmosphere became even more lively.
Lucius looked around, as if he had discovered something, and asked in a low voice:"Cole, no one from the Avery family is here?"
"Um."
Cole's flat response made Lucius realize that the matter was a little serious.
It's not that little Avery is important, but that in such a scene, all the noble wizards in England accepted the invitation, and even the Ministry of Magic All the officials are here.
As long as the Avery family doesn't show up, doesn't little Avery not want to mix in the circle of noble wizards?
Even if there is a conflict between the Avery family and the Black family, it has not reached the point of declaring war. Nobles always have to maintain friendly relations on the surface.
Thinking of some news, Lucius reminded Cole
"Cole, little Avery must hate you right now, you have to be careful."
"hate me? Don't worry, Lucius, things will change soon. You must know some inside stories, otherwise you wouldn't talk to me today."
Little Avery was just blinded by greed, thinking about using external forces to harm Black.
Little did he know that Cole knew all this, and he was just thinking about how to maximize the benefits and leave the Ministry of Magic speechless.
The rest Cole didn't say much when he got off, but his confident look made Lucius nod. Just remind him of some things.
The banquet ended soon, and Cole took the opportunity to recommend Black Bank. You need to know that in the future, The wealth of the nobles will increase significantly.
And Gringotts has been squeezed out by Cole and has no place to survive in England. Even ordinary wizards know that goblins cannot be trusted. The victimized nobles also know it in their hearts, let alone witness it this time. They were more reassured by the power of the Black family wizards.
One by one they agreed to cooperate with Cole, and their relationship became much closer.
After seeing off the guests, Cole came to the study and lit up Lucius with a candle Apart from anything else, Cole suddenly discovered that Lucius's face was very long.
It reminded Cole that Draco's face didn't look much like Lucius's, didn't he?
Hahaha, Cole sat down and returned. God, it was just a sudden thought. How could Draco not be Lucius's son?
Muggles have ways to identify paternity, how could wizards not have ways to identify bloodlines?
Leaning back on the chair, Cole said leisurely Said:"It's been a long time since we sat together and chatted together. Lucius, what do you want to tell me?.~?"
Lucius stared at Cole, who was sitting in front of him, but Lucius felt that he was like a mist
"Cole, you are different from Sirius and Regulus. We grew up together and knew each other, but you suddenly changed a lot."
Cole is not surprised. Dumbledore also said this, but now he is Cottrell Black.
"People who have experienced a lot will naturally change, just like Sirius, who would have thought that he would end up in Azkaban when he was at Hogwarts."
Lucius and the children of the Black family have known each other since childhood. Although he is a few years older than Sirius, they have a good relationship.
Lucius suddenly asked curiously:"Don't you know the traces of Regulus?"
Regulus Black, the second son of the family, is more like a noble than the reckless Sirius. He initially followed Voldemort, but then disappeared inexplicably in the wizarding world. Many people speculated that Regulus was killed by Voldemort.
But Lucius, who is also a Death Eater, knows that Voldemort cannot take the initiative to kill a pure blood of the Black family.
You must know that Lucius, who was born in the Malfoy family, and the Dark Lord's loyal servant Barty Crouch II.
Regulus is the one who takes the most attention. As a member of a pure-blood family for thousands of years, it is destined that Regulus will assist the Dark Lord to reach the top.
Cole was silent. Lucius's sudden reminder and questioning made him Thinking of this nominal brother.
Compared with Sirius, Regulus is not that flamboyant, and his character seems a bit weak to outsiders.
But Cole knows that Regulus is not weak.
Because he discovered that Voldemort made a soul The secret of the weapon and his disapproval of Voldemort's ideas made Regulus decide to steal Voldemort's Horcrux.
Slytherin's locket was hidden by Voldemort in the center of a cave lake, and the water was full of darkness. The corpse, the inferi without life, soul and mind, guards that area.
To get the locket, you must drink a potion that makes life worse than death.
And Regulus did just that, witnessing Voldemort's actions, Tormented by a kind and conservative heart, he drank the potion and asked the house elf Kreacher to bring back the locket.
In the end, he stayed in the dark lake and kept company with the Inferi all year round.
Regarding this behavior, Ke I think Regulus is very brave, but there is no need.
Even if you don't want to let go of the house elf, find a damn dark wizard, cast the Imperius Curse, and drink it obediently.
Of course, it is also possible that Regulus is too late, Afraid of being discovered by Voldemort.
Anyway, all this has happened, Cole remained silent, and had no intention of telling Lucius the truth.
The locket was in Kreacher's hand, and Cole would ask for it later, believing that Kreacher did not Courage to refuse him as master
"Let's not talk about that. Lucius, let's talk about you. What do you want to do with me today? Cole asked straight to the point.
Lucius raised his arm and pushed up his sleeve with his right hand, revealing the snake-shaped mark on his left arm.
"Cole, you probably haven't seen this before. This is the mark of the Dark Lord. In order to control us, the Dark Lord left this. Cole looked at the mark of the Dark Lord on Lucius's forearm and stretched his head to study it carefully.
The appearance of the black snake-shaped mark is not important, but the magic fluctuations in it are important.
Today, there is no unified definition of magic in the wizarding world. Standard, wizards never study where magic power comes from. (To read cool novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
I only know that if there is no magic riot before the age of eleven, it is a squib.
So I know that Mei With Ra's mage inheritance, Cole also understood how crudely today's wizards use magic power.
In fact, each wizard's magic power fluctuations are unique, and Lucius obviously has magic power that does not belong to him.
The mark of the Dark Lord does not seem to be the same. It has no unique function. After studying its magic structure, Cole found that it is just a BB machine equivalent to the wizarding world.
There is no curse breath, and its owner will not have any other effects on wizards when it is not activated.
Voldemort uses it. It's just summoning subordinates.
When activated, there will be a burning sensation in the arm, but the ball is useless other than that.
Putting down Lucius's arm, Cole felt that Voldemort was nothing more than that. If it were him, he would definitely be in this mark. What's the point of adding a bloodline curse.
Or some tortured curse, just a burning sensation.
As long as there are disloyal thoughts in the heart, the Dark Mark will punish the betrayer, or directly crush the betrayer's head.
"'Lucius, is this the Death Eater mark? As far as I can tell, this won't have any impact on you. Lucius put down his arm and said worriedly:"That's not what I'm referring to. Originally, this mark had been silent over the years, but some time ago, it suddenly started to react again.""
Looking at Cole still looking like that, Lucius said in his heart:"Do you know that the mysterious man is not dead yet? He may be resurrected. Cole was certainly not surprised that Lucius could ask such a question, because the research just now found that if Voldemort dies, the mark will disappear.
Of course, it is not the death of the body, but the disappearance of the soul.[]
Voldemort had seven Horcruxes, how could they disappear so easily?
Lucius actually showed a look of fear, and when he said those words, it was as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him.
Lucius only felt a lot more relaxed after saying that.
He couldn't tell Narcissa these things, as it would make her worry. As a man, Lucius chose to resist on his own.
Cole asked Lucius seriously."If the Dark Lord is resurrected, will you be afraid? Are you afraid that he will punish you traitors?"
Cole's whisper made Lucius tremble unnaturally. For Voldemort, those of them who escaped the Ministry of Magic's trial Wizards are naturally traitors.
As for the price of betrayal, Lucius has obviously witnessed it with his own eyes.
Cole continued:"Is this why you sent the things left by the Dark Lord to that Weasley?"
"You, you know everything? Cole shook his head,"Of course, Lucius, in addition to that thing, I also know that you have sold many collections with the aura of black magic. Don't forget, I have the final say in Knockturn Alley.""
"It's a pity, if you ask me, I can still offer you a good price, and you don't have to go there yourself, Lucius."
Lucius wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead. In front of Cole, he felt like he was being seen through.
"Do you know how He will be resurrected? (The money is good)"
"have no idea."Lucius shook his head.
Cole said with a mocking tone."It seems that you are not the one he trusts the most."
After some probing, Cole discovered that Lucius didn't know about the Horcruxes.
Regulus could actually discover Voldemort's Horcruxes, which meant something important. That Lucius of Cohen was among the Death Eaters. His status is not as high as that of Black.
Malfoy, a loach, knows how to fish in troubled waters and is really bad at it.
Cole gave Lucius a sigh of dissatisfaction.
"So you want to use that thing to lure the Dark Lord out? I'm afraid you also knew that Harry was being watched by Dumbledore, so you chose Weasley. You also know that Weasley is Dumbledore's biggest fan, right?"
"Um."
Lucius nodded. That's what he originally thought. As long as this matter can't be traced to him, or there is no evidence to prove that he did it.
To say how much Lucius wants to harm Harry, then Just kidding.
For Lucius, Harry, the savior, is not important at all.
Even if Voldemort died in Harry's hands, Lucius had no intention of avenging his former master.
"Good plan, Lucius."
Cole praised on the lips, but actually despised him in his heart. This guy hadn't realized that there was a traitor around him. He was also a house elf who claimed that he would never betray his master.
If other nobles knew about this, the Malfoy family would become The laughing stock of the wizarding world.
Even a humble house elf can easily betray the Malfoy family, so what power does Malfoy have to deter other evil wolves?
Thinking of this, Cole found something interesting, why not turn this one over now? Tell Lucius the news?
How will the noble platinum-haired man react?
