Diaries are PERSONAL! NOT!

After hitting the Lestrange Manor, the next on the list was the diary.

We had a limited window of time, and we needed to rush, if we wanted to snatch at least the diary and the locket before my display in the Ministry.

We went to the Malfoy Manor, where I knew the Snatchers had a way in, from behind the woods, which leads straight into the Dungeons of the manor, where there are chains on the walls, and cages and prisons for the entertainment of their lord. This part of the manor was protected by wards, but they didn't have protection against Cursebreakers who can dismantle the wards from the outside.

We entered the woods behind the manor, and quickly found our way inside using the secret path, I have seen the snatchers use.

We found a few prisons filled inside the dungeons, and apparently they were all muggleborn. They didn't seem abused and raped or tortured, but it seems these are the ones who were lined up for slaughter next, and seeing that, we decided to do a good deed.

The chains were broken, the prisons opened, and just like that the muggleborn found themselves freed.

I did have spare wands, they were my trophy, and it made me reluctant to part with them.

But as I see it, I had no use for murderers' wands, and what greater insult and fitting end to the wands of these blood supremacists, than to find their wands ending up in the hands of the very same people whom they loathed and upon whom, they looked down.

I made them all gather around, and under the cloak spoke in a jumbled and decoherent voice, "I am here for Malfoy, and you are just in the way. I could have killed you, but there was no need to do that, if you didn't get in my way. Pureblood wizards and witches have ruined this country, and until the Dark Lord falls, do not reveal yourself. You were captured to be raped, tortured and killed, so you must hide from these people, until the atmosphere changes."

Seeing the sombre looks, I unloaded a cackle of wands, as they clattered to the cold hard ground of the dungeons.

"These wands are the wands of the Pureblood scum I killed who serve the powerful cunt. Use this wand to get away from here, escape and save yourselves, and then dispose this wand off. Remember, don't let anyone see you use these wands. The lives of you, and all your loved ones is at stake. The Dark Lord might come after you himself, if someone recognises these wands. Be safe, and fare thee well."

Saying my piece, we left, as my parents didn't reveal themselves. I saw the light from the door, as there was an ornate pillar, from where the opulent mansion began.

We hurriedly arrived at the study to see the study room had a floo call being made. A trembling voice of a man was heard, over the cackling fire in the fireplace.

"I think that enemy is after me, Dark Lord. He already killed the Blacks and the Lestrange. What if he is after me?"

I heard a soft hiss, as Lucius was answered through the floo call. "SSSsilence Luciusss! I may have underestimated this killer, but I have Greyback and Barty looking for this man. Trust in your master. Now that I know someone is killing our friends, we can make ample preparations to keep you and your wife safe. But I must ask Lucius! Is the dark artefact I gave you, safe?"

Lucius trembled at his lord. "Of course, my lord. It is safe, and untouched. I don't allow my house-elf to even venture into that room, and it is warded against anyone summoning it or tracking it. I had learnt from a Diviner, and also charmed the room, with Anti-Scrying Spells. I personally check the room myself daily, and was on my way for the daily inspection. As per your command, I haven't touched it, master, and even Narcissa doesn't know about it."

Voldemort breathed lightly, which sounded like a hiss. "Very well, Luciusss. There may just be hope for you yet. I am losing my faithful servants, and save Barty, I have only you of good breeding, whom I trust. Do well in your tasks, and you will be rewarded for it."

Lucius perked up, at that and replied in mild cheer. "Thank you my lord. I only aim to please you, and I shall serve my very best, at your pleasure."

Voldemort didn't bother answering to Lucius' slimy greasing, and closed the floo call. The artefact he talked about, must be the diary, and he is going to go on his regular inspection. Think along this line, I gestured at my parents to wait for him to pass by, and follow him.

We saw the slimy ferret pompously walk past the Portrait of his parents, and knock with his wand alit in a specific pattern against his father's eyes.

The room opened, and was dark, and quiet and Lucius seemed to look around with a sneer, and was about to close the room and exit, when my father cast a spell which froze him standing still. It seemed to be a type of modification of the Petrificus Totalus spell, and my father and I walked inside, while my mother stood at the entrance and kept watch.

I saw the dark room, had a lot of cursed artefacts, and similar to Lestrange, had a lot of gold and other items, which seemed to be a good hefty loot.

This at least explained, how Malfoy could bribe the world to turn the other way, and still come out as a rich wizard. I again saw my father point his wand in a certain way, and we found another motherlode of Gold and other precious belongings. I simply dumped it all into my space, and father put the diary into another Jade box.

Done robbing the Malfoys, I wanted to empty the manor, but my father told me there was an elf and a woman walking our way. We swiftly returned Lucius back, and he seemed to not have found anything wrong.

Petrificus Totalus spell binds the body, but the person can see, smell, hear, taste and feel everything. On the other hand, Stupefy spell knocks someone out, but they tend to realise they were knocked out.

This spell, apparently made it so, that the target never realises they were stunned and they would not break out, unless the counter curse was cast.

My father informed me, it is a Dark Spell, and it is used for far more nefarious deeds, than simply robbing them.

I told him to teach me the spell, and despite the intended purpose, it was a very handy spell, for a budding Hitman like me.

Now that we had the Diary and the Cup, the Locket, the Ring and the Diadem were easy. And since I had noticed, I could just try to enter Hogwarts as an animagus, and find the diadem.

The problem was, I didn't know if the School wards hurt trespassers, or they simply repelled them. And I didn't intend to find out.
