This is not a joke, we have four hostages, if you don't believe me, we can kill one for you to see. "

Harry looked into Lucius' eyes, was silent for a moment, and unwillingly put the prophecy ball in Lucius's hand.

He didn't want to do this, but he had no choice. Even if there was a one in ten thousand possibility, he couldn't gamble with his friend's life.

The prophecy ball reached Lucius, and it became dark again.

He didn't care about this change at all, after all, he was not the one in the prophecy.

"Congratulations on making the right decision." Lucius said proudly, "Then...how should I deal with you?"

"Kill them all!" Bella laughed, "But before that, I still want to see how long Longbottom can last."

"You can't do that," Harry said, startled.

"Yes, that would be too cruel." Lucius said meaningfully, "Bring Potter back, the Dark Lord would be happy to see him.

The four of them... Throw them into the veil, it's up to luck whether they survive.

Although the chances are very small, there are still some, at least those who study this curtain once thought that the living can survive in the world of the dead.

Just let them contribute to the research work of the wizarding world and leave no trace. "

"Behind the curtain is the world of the dead?" Harry's eyes widened in astonishment, and then he pointed his wand at Lucius angrily.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do this. They may not die, but they will never return to this world." Lucius chuckled, "It's much better than complete death, isn't it?"

Harry stared at him coldly, deciding whether to fight to the death.

He wasn't sure, but he had to try, he couldn't really watch them being thrown into the curtain!

"What about her?" Antonin asked, pointing at Hermione, "How will she deal with it, don't tell me you're going to let her go?"

"she?"

Lucius' expression didn't change, but he secretly groaned in his heart.

He really wanted to let her go, but since Antonin asked, he couldn't pretend to be confused, otherwise it would be difficult for these Death Eaters to think that he had a different heart.

"Take it away, but be polite and don't hurt her.

The real owner of the weapon in Miss Granger's hand, the Dark Lord, is very interested, and she might be a good bargaining chip. "

The corners of Aaron's mouth twitched slightly as he was hiding in the dark, he could see that Lucius was protecting Hermione indirectly, but it sounded a bit wrong.

But it can't be said to be a bad thing. If there is no accident, she can still exchange the moon drop for freedom after meeting Voldemort.

As for the others... Do you want to save them?

Aaron is particularly entangled. He is just a spectator now. There is actually no difference between divination with a crystal ball and watching on the spot. As long as he does not show up, it means that he has not been fully involved.

He'd warned them it was a trap and didn't want to be nosy, but now that he's here, it's kind of callous to watch them being sent into the world of the dead.

"Just wait and see, maybe the Order of the Phoenix can come over at the critical moment!" Aaron thought silently, setting a bottom line for his actions.

Never shoot unless their lives are in danger.

At this time, his confidence in Professor Snape was not so strong. Did he notify the Order of the Phoenix?

If not, he would never be able to be alone after getting involved tonight.

But if they had been notified, they would have arrived long ago.

Taking a step back and saying that Snape delayed for some time due to personal grievances, it wouldn't be so long.

It doesn't matter if he drinks too much to celebrate, as long as the news reaches the Order of the Phoenix, Lupine, Moody and the others will apparate over in the blink of an eye.

Neville was the first to be pushed onto the high platform in the center. Looking at the windless and automatic curtain, he seemed to know what he was about to face. Although he was nervous, there was no trace of fear on his face.

"Go in yourself!" Bellatrix said.

"Fractured."

Harry resolutely cast a spell on Bella, but the spell bounced off her easily.

"Hahaha, baby, do you still want to try it?"

"Potter, don't hold back at this time." Lucius shook his head pityingly, "Unless you want your friends to die immediately."

"I think he needs an unforgettable lesson." Bella smiled meaningfully, then pointed her wand at Neville, "Crucio!"

"what!"

Neville screamed again, his eyes were bloodshot, his forehead was sweating, and he fell to the ground trembling.

"Stop it, it's my fault and you should punish me if you want to," Harry snapped.

"Longbottom's parents begged us that way at the beginning, but it's too boring." Bella played with her taste, and then used the levitation spell to lift Neville in the air, "Your friend has to pay a little price for what you just did. "

Chapter 498 The Dark Lord, the Hostage in an Embarrassing Situation

Neville's body floated in the air uncontrollably, approaching the curtain bit by bit.

The Death Eaters watched this scene with great interest. During the more than ten years when Voldemort lost power, they did not dare to play like this. Ron, Ginny, and Luna were more worried than the other, but the three of them could do nothing now.

Harry gritted his teeth and clenched his wand tightly, and Hermione was about to fire the last bullet, at least not to let Neville just disappear before their eyes.

"Shut up your little thoughts." Lucius said lightly, "If you dare to make any small moves, Bella will not use the Levitation Curse, but the Killing Curse.

And don't forget, the other three are still in our hands, you don't want them to go faster than Longbottom, right? "

"What a ghost you are," Harry cursed, glaring at him.

"It breaks my heart to say that, Potter.

No matter how much you hate me now, please remember that I gave them a chance to live, unknown doesn't mean death, doesn't it? "

"What's the difference then?"

Lucius paused for a moment, then shook his head with a sneer, "What ignorance!

Being able to leave this world without pain like this is infinitely happier than being tortured by Cruciatus and then dying completely.

If you don't believe me, you can ask the Longbottoms in St. Mungo's. If they had a choice, they would definitely kneel down and beg Bella to do this to them. "

"You are not allowed to insult my parents." Neville cursed angrily, "They are heroes, and they didn't reveal any secrets when they were tortured."

"It was quite blunt, and they didn't mean to beg for mercy from the beginning to the end.

I'm curious if their son has that kind of loyalty. "

"Please put away your curiosity." Lucius said speechlessly, "Master has other tasks, we can't spend our time on torturing people."

"Other missions." Bella snorted lightly, but her tone also restrained a lot, "The master explained it inexplicably, maybe that person..."

"Just follow the master's plan."

Bella stopped talking and turned her attention to Neville.

He was getting closer and closer to the veil, and looking at the veil that was close at hand, he felt that his thoughts were being gradually swallowed up.

boom!

Neville suddenly fell to the ground, and after recovering from the brink of death, he quickly got up and distanced himself from the curtain as much as possible.

"Who's there?" Bella looked around, and finally fixed her eyes on the stone chair near the door.

"Ugh!"

A sigh full of helplessness clearly fell into everyone's ears.

Aaron removed the illusion spell from his body, and exposed himself to everyone with the book of prophecy.

Harry was relieved to see him, and his tense expression relaxed a little.

Others don't know about Aaron's record, so how could he not know? The Death Eaters here are obviously more difficult to deal with than the ones that appeared in the cemetery last year, but the number is relatively small. He must be fine.

Hermione lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to meet his eyes, even the gun in her hand felt extremely hot.

"Hahaha..." Bella was stunned for a moment, and then let out a maniacal laugh, "You are still here."

"You know me?" Aaron frowned slightly, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat.

He couldn't remember any connection between himself and the escaped prisoner, even though she was Sirius' cousin.

"Meeting for the first time, but... the Dark Lord is very clever.

A handsome 16-year-old boy might show up, let's pay attention. Bella said meaningfully, then raised her wand suddenly, and a layer of transparent ripples quickly spread in all directions.

"Anti-apparition spell?" Aaron thought about Bella's words, and then felt some obstacles in the space, and his brows frowned even deeper.

"Uncle Lucius, can you give me an explanation?" Aaron looked at Lucius and asked, also buying some time for the Order of the Phoenix.

He had to make a move just now, otherwise Neville would be doomed, but now he seems to have fallen into a pit out of nowhere, and if he wants to climb up safely, he has to count on reinforcements.

"You should be able to guess that the Dark Lord has arranged other missions specially for you."

Aaron couldn't help laughing, "Voldemort is really patient with me!"

"Another guy who dares to say his name." Bella gave him a hard look, "You..."

"I'm not the same as Harry Potter. In a sense, the blood of Gaius is more noble than pure blood. If you want to scold me, it's better not to use 'dirty bastard' or something like that. How rude."

Bella's expression froze, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, not knowing how to push back.

"Aaron, the Dark Lord wants to see you.

You'd better cooperate well and don't make things difficult for us.

Most of the Death Eaters gathered last year had been wasted for more than ten years, but those gathered here today are all the elite Death Eaters of Azkaban.

Ten years of imprisonment left them no time to deal with other things, but their research on black magic was more in-depth. "

Aaron glanced around, noncommittal to the statement.

The level of magic power of these people is at least on the same level as his, and the weakest one is close to the high-level magister, especially Bella, a lunatic who has faintly stepped into the threshold of the great magister.

However, strength is not the same as combat power. If he wants to run with all his heart, these people can't stop him.

But there are a total of six oil bottles here, and there are anti-apparition spells, so the situation is a bit difficult, and breaking through forcibly will definitely cause damage.

Delaying time, as long as the Order of the Phoenix comes over, all problems will be solved, Professor Snape, you must not lose the chain at this critical moment!

"We'll talk about this kind of thing later." Aaron waved his hand pretending not to care, "How did Voldemort know that I would come over tonight?"

"Actually, the Dark Lord is not sure." Lucius sneered, "Our main purpose tonight is to predict the ball, and Potter has already helped us get it.

As for you being purely a surprise, he guessed that you might have come for a friend, and it turned out to be the case. "

"Sorry." Harry said weakly, "If I can calm down..."

"No need to apologize, really.

You've paid for your impulses, and I don't think apologizing will slow your memory.

Your level of killing is definitely a master level, at least once a year, and it doesn't repeat every year. I'm curious how you do it.

To be honest, it's a miracle that you're still alive today. "

Harry:  …

"As for you." Aaron looked at the captured Ron, Ginny, Luna and Neville in front of the curtain, crying and laughing: "Aren't you very stubborn before you came? You can't stop it!

What now?Is there so much regret? "

A few people exchanged glances, and it was hard to say, they were indeed impulsive.

"And you." Aaron looked at Hermione speechlessly, "How did I explain to you?

The props I gave you are only enough for you alone, not for you to save six people, you can obviously escape unscathed. "

"I..." Hermione bit her lower lip, her eyes were slightly red, "I'm sorry, but I can't just watch!"

"Forget it, it's useless to say that." Aaron said dejectedly, this time he took the initiative to appear in front of the Death Eaters, and he had already violated the ancestral precepts of the Gaius family.

From this moment until the end of the dispute in the magic world, the family will not provide him with any shelter.

"Stop talking nonsense." Bella said impatiently, "It is your honor to meet the master with us."

"Let me finish." Aaron took a deep breath and looked at Harry seriously, "Do you know why I came here?"

Harry was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in confusion, "I don't know, you shouldn't be worried about our safety?"

"I'm a little self-aware." Aaron pouted, "To be honest, you, especially whether you die or not, have nothing to do with me. I tried my best to persuade you, but I couldn't stop it, so I don't feel guilty at all.

But she is a bit special, I didn't want her to die with you so I gave her something to save her life, but it turns out that my arrangement was not strict. "
