Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

"And then become his most trusted subordinate."

Lucius was stunned when he heard this. Big beads of sweat fell from his forehead. His face twitched slightly. He was having a fierce ideological struggle in his heart. Finally, he seemed to have made a great determination: "I will pass on his information to you regularly, as long as you can protect Draco."

After saying this, he slumped down in the seat, as if he had used up all his strength.

Lucius' meaning was very clear. As long as you can protect Draco, he is willing to be the spy. But being a spy is not so easy. If you are not careful, you will be doomed, especially when facing a leader like Voldemort whose brain may fail from time to time.

"No, Mr. Lucius, it is not necessary."

"I think you may not understand what I mean. I just want you to be his most trusted right-hand man, that's all."

He didn't want to convey a few messages.

Lucius sat in a chair lost in thought, to be honest it would definitely be good not to have to be a spy, but he couldn't see what Dudley was trying to do right now.

"The food is good, thank you for the hospitality."

Dudley had already finished the entire pot of beef, glanced at the completely confused Lucius, and continued.

"By the way, Mr. Lucius, I have a suggestion for you. I think it's best for you to go there today. My respected senior is rather suspicious and has a bad temper. If you go too late, he will probably question your loyalty."

"Let me think about my respected senior Tom. He is now in a dilapidated house with leaky windows in the suburbs of Newport, Wales. I think you should be able to find him."

"I'll also give you a message. He needs help now more than ever."

Lucius' pupils contracted sharply when he heard this. The address Dudley mentioned was exactly where 'that person' was. This was what the Death Eater who came to find him told him.

Why did he know such secret information?

Lucius had the answer the moment he thought of this question. No wonder he was not needed as a spy.

It’s not that it’s not needed, but that undercover agents have already been arranged.

Lucius watched Dudley leave his manor. Not long after Dudley left, Lucius changed into the outfit he wore when he was Voldemort's right-hand man more than ten years ago. Thanks to his diet control over the years, Lucius did not gain weight in middle age, and the clothes from so many years ago also fit him very well.

In front of the mirror, Lucius was dressed spotlessly, just like he had many years ago, holding an exquisite civilized cane.

"More than."

Lucius called out softly.

A house-elf with big ears, big eyes and a timid look appeared beside him.

"Master, Dobby is here."

Lucius glanced at him calmly and ordered, "Don't wait for me for dinner tonight. Tell Narcissa and the others when they come back."

"I need to go on a long journey."

"If you encounter problems that you can't solve during this period, seek help from the Greengrass family. If they can't solve it either, go to Hogwarts. Draco knows what to do."

"Okay master, Dobby has made note of it."

Dobby answered obediently, leaning against the wall with his hands behind his back.

"Dobby." Lucius took a deep breath and looked at Dobby with unprecedented seriousness.

House-elves are trustworthy and will not betray their masters as long as the contract is not terminated.

"If there ever comes a day when I want to harm Draco, you must take him away, the farther the better, and find the Dursleys."

Dobby's eyes lit up slightly when he heard the word "Dursley", but when he heard Lucius' next sentence, his expression turned into astonishment.

"Mission accomplished, I'll give you freedom."

After Lucius finished speaking, he didn't care what Bido was going to say. He put on a black hooded cloak, hiding his face in the shadows, and disappeared on the spot with a crackling sound in the space.

Not long after, Voldemort was overjoyed to see Lucius rushing over as soon as he knew of his return. He needed such a loyal helper right now.

And Lucius brought him good news as soon as he arrived.

"Master, the current Minister of Magic Fudge and Dumbledore have different opinions. Although Fudge will consult Dumbledore when he encounters something he cannot solve, he is actually very wary of that old lunatic."

"The incident involving your loyal servants has brought Fudge's dissatisfaction with Dumbledore to its peak. He has said in public more than once that Dumbledore is forcing him to abdicate."

"We don't have to do anything. We just need to spread the false news that Dumbledore wants to compete for the position of Minister of Magic. In order to keep his position, he will definitely become a pawn against Dumbledore, so that we can buy precious time for you."

"A real idiot."

"No one can stop Dumbledore from becoming Minister of Magic."

Voldemort said this, and his evaluation of Fudge fell to the ground, then he turned to look at Lucius.

"I'll leave this to you, is that okay? My loyal servant, Lucius."

"It's my pleasure, Master."

He was very pleased with Lucius's respectful attitude.

"Who is the current Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement?"

Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the most powerful official other than the Minister of Magic. In theory, every Minister of Magic is selected from this position (except in special circumstances, such as Fudge).

The Head of the Auror Office within this department holds the same status as any other Director.

The boss is not to be feared, so the second in command is the key. Try to win him over to your own camp as much as possible.

"Amelia Bones."

Lucius confessed.

"A pure-blood Bones family?"

When Voldemort heard the name, his expression immediately darkened. "That family is full of idiots. They could have had a brighter future by joining me, but they refused."

"Edgar Bones, I remember him as a talented wizard, but he not only opposed me but also joined Dumbledore's side."

"So I executed the whole family."

"Huh, I didn't expect that this family is still alive."

Edgar Bones, Amelia Bones' biological brother, would never turn against her because of this relationship.

"Master, we can remove her from this position and replace her with one of our own."

"How sure are you?"

"It shouldn't be a problem if she needs help from others. Although this woman is very capable, she is rather rigid and not tactful enough. She offended many people when she was managing the Department of Magical Law Enforcement."

"Very good, Lucius, you are worthy of being my most loyal subordinate."

Voldemort praised sincerely.

Controlling the Department of Magical Law Enforcement is equivalent to controlling half of the Ministry of Magic. As long as the Ministry of Magic is abolished, he can concentrate on dealing with Dumbledore.

Today is definitely the happiest day for Voldemort in these days. Capable subordinates are different. Look at Lucius and then look at that idiot Wormtail.

Chapter 337: Dare to Swindle Money from an Elderly Person Over Years Old

A week passed quickly, and Dudley, along with his friends from the discipline group (a group of six), arrived at Hogwarts as scheduled through the secret passage of Hogsmeade. It must be said that Hogwarts was very deserted during the holidays.

Except for a few professors who called Hogwarts their home, the huge castle was almost empty.

This made Filch, the dormitory manager, feel relieved but also a little sad.

"Jelly slugs!"

The correct command was given and the door to the principal's office slowly opened.

"Professor Dumbledore, your tastes are getting weirder and weirder."

Dudley complained to Dumbledore as soon as he entered the room, who was currently eating a candy with 'Password''s name on it.

Jelly Slug. Just like its name, this candy looks and tastes like an insect.

Like the Cockroach Pile, most wizards who buy this candy use it for practical jokes, and few actually eat it.

Because it's so similar to what was made.

Sitting in his chair, Dumbledore looked at the uninvited guests with a bit of helplessness: "I just changed the password an hour ago, and I didn't tell anyone."

After saying this, Dumbledore paused slightly, as if he had thought of something. It would not be entirely correct to say that he had not told anyone, because at least someone who was not a human knew it.

Dumbledore looked towards the right side of the table, where was Fawkes's den. Fawke felt Dumbledore's gaze and turned his head away guiltily.

I seem to know why I can guess it right every time.

"Dudley, do you want to take them with you? I don't think I told you that you could take others with you."

Dumbledore glanced at the others around Dudley and said.

"Teaching one person is teaching, and teaching a group is also teaching, professor, I don't think you are so stingy."

"Dudley, this is not a question of being petty. We are going to meet a very dangerous wizard. He is very talented. He is the best wizard at using language that I have ever seen. I believe that you and Harry will not be bewitched by him, but others..."

In fact, Dumbledore didn't have much confidence in Harry. In terms of manipulating people's hearts alone, the student named Tom was far from being able to match him.

"It's okay, Professor." Dudley shook his head slightly and held out his fist as big as a casserole. "If anyone is lost, I will use this to make him sober."

I'd like to try the friendship punch or something like that once in a while.

Dumbledore: "."

With Dudley's current physique, he would probably be killed by one punch.

"You." Dumbledore sighed, tacitly agreeing to the addition of someone else, and did not dwell on the issue any further: "Have you all talked to your families? I don't want to receive another yelling letter from your parents during the holidays."

He said this just now because on the one hand he was worried that they were still young and could be easily misled. On the other hand, whether the other party was willing to teach was another matter. If they were unwilling to teach, he could just take them out himself.

"That's naturally what we agreed on."

Dudley picked up a liquorice wand, only to smell the packaging before silently putting it back and choosing a huge candy next to it.

Sorbet balls.

It is said that by sucking it one can float several inches off the ground.

Skillfully peel off the sugar coating and put it into your mouth.

The taste is similar to ice cream with a minty flavor, but it does not make the body feel 'cold'.

"Professor, when are we going to set off? If we use Apparition, you will have to lead us. I have never been to that place."

Dumbledore picked up a Fizzing Bee Candy and put it in his mouth, explaining, "This is a transnational act and requires permission from the local Ministry of Magic. Using Apparition would be considered illegal entry."

Except for America, where wizards have to undergo strict screening, the entry and exit of wizards in various countries in Europe are not too strict.

The problem was that the place they were going to was too sensitive. That person almost subverted the entire Austrian Ministry of Magic. It would be quite troublesome if they didn't get authorization.

"Then you should have obtained permission."

Dudley frowned and looked at his feet. He waited for a long time but there was no sign of him leaving the ground.

What a broken ice cream ball, it’s fake, give me your money back!

It seems that this candy was bought by Dumbledore.

If they dare to defraud an elderly man over 100 years old, they must pay at least ten times the compensation.

"I have some connections with the Austrian Ministry of Magic."

Dumbledore's face was full of reminiscence as he spoke, as if time had gone back many years.

Hermione, who was following behind Dudley, happened to see the scene that Dumbledore was recalling. The girl's intuition told her that there was a story behind it.

"If you don't want to eat another meal at Hogwarts, then we can leave now."

Dumbledore said.

"I thought we could try some Austrian food."

"I heard the Wiener Schnitzel and Sachertorte there are delicious."

Since Dudley said so, and seeing that no one else had any objections, Dumbledore took them away.

Knight Bus

Delivered directly to the Austrian Ministry of Magic border checkpoint.

Since you are taking the official channel, you must also take legal transportation.

When getting off the car, except for Dudley and Dumbledore who looked normal, the others did not look well.

"Long time no see, Mr. Dumbledore."
