Hogwarts: I'm Cousin Harry.

And this situation is extremely common among Death Eaters.

Which Death Eater dares to say that he has never done this?

"Master, how dare your humble servant expect to represent your will. Compared with yours, my wisdom is as worthless as the weeds on the roadside. As long as I can do my best for you, I will be satisfied."

The second rule of Death Eater survival rules is that when Voldemort shows unconditional trust in you, you will most likely be alert. Do not be complacent or even do anything exaggerated. You must show fear when necessary.

Because you never know whether the mentally disturbed guy in front of you really trusts you or is testing you.

Chapter 349 343 Voldemort: "Hehehehehe"

Although Lucius' metaphor was strange, Voldemort found it useful.

Nodding satisfied.

Lucius guessed right, Voldemort was indeed testing him.

Voldemort is a cunning and suspicious character. He appreciates capable people, but he only appreciates them. If necessary, he can kill them without mercy.

Lucius has always been very capable, and even now he is more satisfied than before. There is no doubt about this, but he lost the diary and the important diary that he personally handed to him. Ben, his Horcrux!

At that time, Voldemort only gave two subordinates in total, one was him, and the other was Bellatrix who was imprisoned in Azkaban.

And now he is resurrected with the Horcrux given to Bellatrix.

What do you think his attitude should be towards Lucius?

If Lucius hadn't rushed over as soon as he returned and helped him deal with so many things, it would have been cheap for him not to kill the other party.

After ordering his men, Voldemort stayed alone in the room.

With a wave of his hand, a floor-length mirror in the room was instantly blown into pieces. He had had enough of the fairies' tiny bodies. If changing bodies had not affected the soul to some extent, he would have possessed other Death Eaters.

"Dumbledore. Harry Potter, I will kill you sooner or later."

"By the way, there's also that annoying Dursley."

Voldemort looked into the distance through the leaky window again, with infinite murderous intent blooming in his tiny eyes.

That direction is Hogwarts.

Then he took out a ring set with a round black gemstone from his pocket, and gently stroked it as if he were seeing his first love.

This is also a Horcrux, but it is more than just a Horcrux.

The Gaunt family ring.

It is also the Resurrection Stone, one of the Three Hallows of Death, which Grindelwald has been searching for his whole life but could not find.

This was the trump card he used to deal with Dumbledore. There was a very powerful curse on it. Anyone who wore it would be cursed and would definitely die.

That's right, the curse method that Karkaroff was proud of was useless in front of Voldemort. At least Karkaroff couldn't create a curse that could kill Dumbledore even if he spent his whole life researching it.

It is true that Dumbledore knew about Voldemort's past, but Voldemort had not done nothing for so many years. He was full of fear of Dumbledore. In order to deal with Dumbledore and find his weaknesses, Voldemort went to investigate his past.

He is full of guilt for the death of his relatives, which is why he stays away from power. He believes that this is one of the reasons for the death of his relatives.

"You can't say no to it."

Voldemort faced the direction of Hogwarts and raised the ring, as if talking to Dumbledore from a distance. The gemstone exuded colorful black in the sunlight.

Now we just need to find a suitable time and let the other party 'discover' it.

For example: Give the other party a hint and let him find it on his own.

He is about to regain his original body and return to his peak, and with the death of the wizard he fears most, no one in the whole world will be able to disobey him.

Thinking of this, Voldemort couldn't help but grinned and laughed "hehe".

As the protagonist who was plotted by Voldemort, Dumbledore, Dudley and the others were shopping for textbooks for fifth grade at Flourish and Blotts in Diagon Alley and listening to their complaints.

"The Theory of Magical Defense."

Ron held up a book and knocked on the thick layer of the book: "I bet this is the most boring textbook I have ever seen."

Just as he finished, he added: "More boring and useless than Lockhart's books."

"Defense Against the Dark Arts Theory", a fifth grade Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook.

"Look at the slogan written by the author, learn defensive spells in a safe and risk-free way. I highly doubt that this author has even graduated. If his Defense Against the Dark Arts level exceeds that of second-year Harry, I lose."

Starting from the second grade, one of the subjects that the discipline team attaches most importance to is Defense Against the Dark Arts, the Duelist Club in the second grade, Lupin in the third grade, the real and fake Moody and Karkaroff in the fourth grade, and finally Grindelwald, who is on vacation, can learn from these veteran wizards, and the level of the discipline team is not low.

Even Ron, who has the worst grades among them, is qualified to comment.

Defense against black magic has absolutely nothing to do with safety. The prerequisite for countering jinxes is that you must be proficient in jinxes.

Even Hermione, who has always respected the authority of textbooks, frowned and kept reading the contents of the book this time. She rarely refuted Ron.

The contents of Chapter 1 "Basic Principles of Getting Started" and Chapter 2 "Common Defense Theory and Its Origin" of this book seem normal at first glance. They are all definitions of black magic, definitions of magic defense, etc.

In fact, this is very similar to the content in "Dark Powers: A Guide to Self-Defense" that Harry and his friends studied in the first grade. It is so similar that it can be described as an English translation.

And starting from Chapter 3, the author has been letting himself go a little bit. Chapter 3 is about "reasons for non-offensive responses to magic attacks", and Chapter 15 is about anti-jinxes. He believes that anti-jinxes are not It should exist. The content is roughly the same as Lockhart's smile to resolve the crisis. The content of Chapter 34 is even more outrageous - "It's not revenge but negotiation." Yes, this 'master' was the first to face the attack of black magic. The reaction is not to fight back immediately, but to negotiate.

I can only say that this 'master' is either bad or stupid.

"Why would our new professor use this kind of book as a textbook?"

Even Neville, who was usually taciturn, couldn't help but say.

"You can also publish a book at this level. I think Draco can become a master of defense against the dark arts."

Ron's movements were as exaggerated as ever.

"Roxithromycin Capsules, I take it as you complimenting me." Draco tried to remain elegant.

He spent the whole holiday imitating Grindelwald, and ever since he met this most charismatic wizard, he vowed to become that kind of wizard.

"My name only has three letters (Ron), why can you form such a complicated word?"

"Is it complicated? It's quite complicated compared to your brain."

"Draco, I want to duel you!"

"Okay, Ropinillo, let's celebrate your 1000th and 23rd duel failure tonight."

Ron: "."

At this time, Hermione had closed the book. She finally finished reading the entire book and said to Dumbledore somewhat dullly: "Professor, this dark magic textbook has no practical significance."

"If the theory worked, there wouldn't be that many wizards dying every year from dark magic."

"Can you tell me who the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is this year?"

Chapter 350 Chapter 344 Ron: A bunch of big dogs!

"The new professor is from the Ministry of Magic. I haven't had time to see the specific list yet."

After returning from Austria, Dumbledore began to have the same smile on his face.

"But it's definitely not an Auror."

Dudley added.

Even Sirius's little niece, Nymphadora Tonks, who was admitted as an Auror at the beginning of this year, is better than the one who is coming to be this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

"Actually, Professor Snape originally wanted to teach this course, but I refused."

Dumbledore smiled and blinked, as if rejecting Snape was a pleasure.

It seems that most dark wizards, especially those who are extremely confident in their own abilities, have a soft spot for Defense Against the Dark Arts classes.For example, senior Tom who is about to lose his nose again, or Barty Jr., who was sent to Azkaban by Moody himself, and Professor Snape.

"Does Snape teach Defense Against the Dark Arts? In fact, it would be great if he came."

Draco's tone was full of regret.

"It's a pity to reject him."

Harry also had a look of regret on his face. In fact, he planned to show Snape what he had learned during the holiday and open his eyes.

"So the Ministry of Magic sent a fool?"

"No, they're all a bunch of idiots over there."

Ron concluded this, and after speaking, he raised an eyebrow at Draco provocatively.

Everyone looked at him in unison.

"Sorry, Brother D, I didn't mean to say anything about you."

Ron, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, quickly apologized.

"The Wizengamot is not the Ministry of Magic, but is it really okay for you to scold your father like this?"

Ron's father, Arthur, also worked for the Ministry of Magic.

As expected of Ron, he provoked Draco and even scolded his own father.

When they were halfway through shopping, Dumbledore received an urgent express from an owl and left, leaving them alone.

Dumbledore was not worried at all because several of them were underage wizards. With their current magical attainments, even if they had the sudden urge to run to Knuckle Alley, they could only mourn in silence for those wizards who planned to do evil to them.

"There are still a few days until school starts, how are you planning to spend your time?"

Harry asked as he ate the chocolate-flavored sweet ice cream provided by Florin's Cold Drink Shop.

"Godric's Hollow?"

Draco suggested that he really missed the environment there, it was much safer than Malfoy Manor.

Ever since he saw Dudley's arrangement in his old castle, he had always felt that his manor was very unsafe, as if a lot of dark wizards would come out of nowhere to break in at any time.

"Go and experience the Muggle world?"

This was Ron's suggestion. He had heard Harry mention video games before, an entertainment activity for ordinary people, and said that he wanted to try it. Unfortunately, his proposal did not receive support from anyone.

"I want to find a place to read. The letters sent by the owls are a bit late. I want to study all the contents of fifth grade by myself before the start of school. And there is OWLs exam this year. I want to give myself more time to review."

Hermione said with a hint of annoyance.

He didn't realize the weird looks in the other people's eyes after he just finished speaking.

Although there are many courses in Dudley's current class that have surpassed the learning progress of senior grades, this does not mean all subjects. For example, history of magic, ancient runes, astronomy, herbalism, etc. are not included.

"Hermione, I don't think people should at least be that curly."

Even Neville, the honest boy, couldn't bear to listen.

Let others live?

"Hermione, believe me. Even if you take the OWLs or NEWT exam now, you can still pass it in one try."

Even Draco couldn't help but persuade.

"I know, but Dudley has taught himself everything in seventh grade."

Hermione said this with resentment.

Who is the King of Papers at Hogwarts?She could only be ranked second.

"."

"Guys, I have a good place to go. How about staying there for a few days?"

Harry cleverly changed the previous topic and avoided the question of 'who is the king of scrolls'.

The other people understood instantly and quickly agreed.

Half an hour later, several people arrived in the northwest area of ​​London, about a 20-minute walk from King's Cross Station.

12 Grimmauld Place.

There are buildings like pigeon cages all around.

Harry took out his wand and pointed it into the void a few times. The buildings seemed to be stretched, making way to reveal a very old-looking mansion.

What comes into view is a door covered with scratches and painted black. The silver door handle is in the shape of a coiled snake. It is worth noting that there is no keyhole on the door.

The Black family's old house or mansion is taller, wider and larger than the few-storey buildings of the Potter family. It is at least as high as five floors, and the height of each floor is twice the height of a normal floor, similar to a double-decker retest. Structure, that is to say, this is a ten-story mansion.
