Chapter 44: Causes and Consequences

Gaining Draco's trust was easier than imagined, and Cyrus knew that it was probably thanks to Lucius. This kid still admired his father very much.

Since it was Lucius who told him that this diary could help him open the secret room, Draco naturally believed it.

In the process of communicating with Draco, Cyrus finally understood the cause and effect.

At that time, Cyrus turned into Draco and found the owl of the Malfoy family. The owl did not recognize that the Draco Malfoy in front of him was not the real one, so it flew to the Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire with the letter.

Cyrus was afraid that Lucius Malfoy would disobey his orders, so when he wrote the letter, he clearly hinted that Draco's fate was in his hands and asked Lucius to cooperate with him to bring Dumbledore to justice and be kicked out of school.

As a result, when Lucius and Narcissa received the letter from their "son", they immediately panicked causing a misunderstanding.

.

.

Time goes back to the days of Christmas.

Wiltshire, Malfoy Manor.

"It's already Christmas, they should finally calm down!" Narcissa's face was full of displeasure. This temperament destroyed her original beauty, and she looked like a person who was not so easy to converse with.

But no one could blame her. The Ministry of Magic had been causing trouble for them this year, trying to find out the dark magic items hidden in the Malfoy family.

Although Lucius has secretly dealt with the most difficult batch, the Malfoy family has not been a good gentleman in the wizarding world for so many years. Unless the entire manor is turned into an empty shell, there is no way to finish the deal.

And about his beloved son, it was because of the continuous searches that Lucius decided to let Draco spend Christmas at school this year.

Narcissa was naturally unhappy that she couldn't see her cute and great son after a hard-fought vacation.

"I've put pressure on the Daily Prophet and the Ministry of Magic. Fortunately, Arthur Weasley has a stupid son, and that Harry Potter—"

Naturally, Lucius would not let go of taking advantage of Weasley's son's blunders. 

'Arthur Weasley, right? If you cause trouble for me, I won't make it easy for you!'

In fact, he started doing it during the summer vacation. He remembered a diary that Voldemort had given him for safekeeping. That diary looked like something from the Muggle world.

If it hadn't been left by that person and asked him to keep it, he would have thrown it away as trash.

Lucius remembered that he seemed to have asked the Dark Lord back then why he was bestoned to keep a notebook from the Muggle world.

The answer given by the Dark Lord at that time was: The diary is the key to the secret chamber.

If the Dark Lord was still alive, Lucius would never dare to hand over the diary, but now, he has disappeared for eleven years. In this case, why not use this diary to cause a little trouble for the Weasley family?

So he mixed the diary with the Weasley's belongings.

After that, he did not let go of the flying car incident. Not only did he contact the newspaper to make the matter bigger, but he also paid to bribe some officials in the Ministry of Magic who were close to him, causing Arthur Weasley to fall into trouble.

Now, the annoying endless search is finally over.

"Let me see, do you want to go to Hogwarts and bring Draco back?" Narcissa said a little worriedly, "Last time Draco wrote back, he already said that there was an attack in the school. I'm afraid The secret room has really been opened, and I am worried that he will be in danger if he stays in the school."

Lucius pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "The one who was attacked was just a mudblood, Draco will not be in danger. And I have written to him not to show his face too much. He knows very little about this matter, There will be no problem."

It's not impossible to go all the way to bring Draco home, but Draco will also be the one to succeed the Malfoy family in the future, so he shouldn't be so pretentious.

As the two of them were talking, they saw a flying shadow in the sky.

It was the owl they bought for Draco.

"Didn't Draco send a letter?" Narcissa eagerly took the letter from the owl and opened it.

After a few seconds, her already pale face immediately became even paler. She covered her mouth in fear, her whole body seemed to be shaky.

"What's the matter?"

Lucius suddenly had a bad premonition, and quickly took the letter and checked it:

< My dear servant, Lucius Malfoy:

I'm really sorry, Lucius. Did I disappear from other people's eyes for a while and you forget about my magic power? Otherwise, how dare you give away the things I asked you to keep? I think you probably think that the Dark Lord is dead, defeated by a baby who can't even walk, as countless people have said. You know me well, so you are eager to clear up the relationship, right?>

"...." Lucius only read the first paragraph, his breathing became short, his whole body couldn't stop shaking, and he slowly said, "He's back... He's back..."

Then he looked at the second part with fear.

<I have to admit that my current state is indeed not good, but it still easy kill a few people.< p>

Now, I need you to complete one thing to make up for the mistakes you made. Not too hard - just kick Dumbledore out of school!

Also, wish you a Merry Christmas.>

There were only a few words in the letter, but it made Lucius and Narcissa look pale.

"Is it really him? It can't be him!" Narcissa said in fear, "He has disappeared for eleven years, how could he come back again!"

She was unwilling to accept the fact that her son was in danger at this moment.

But Lucius knew very well that no one except Voldemort and himself knew about the diary.

"There is still a chance - there is still a chance to atone for our sins!" He immediately came out of his fear.

Lucius understood Voldemort's character. If he did his task well enough, it would be possible to avoid punishment, and Draco would not be in danger.

"The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. If Dumbledore can't find the culprit, then I can use the power of the school director to drive him out of Hogwarts!" Lucius already had a plan in mind, but he still needed to convince the other school directors.

"The number of victims must be increased! How can only one mudblood be enough? Draco must do this. The Dark Lord is not dead yet. Only in this way will he praise Draco!"

"Come here Dobby!"

"Dobby greets the Master..."

A house elf with scars all over his body appeared in front of Lucius. He looked at Lucius Malfoy with fearful and tentative eyes.

Lucius was too lazy to pay attention to why it had so many scars. Now, there was only one thing he wanted to do, and that was to complete the Dark Lord's mission and prevent Draco from encountering danger.

"Dobby, I want you to go to Hogwarts, find Ginny Weasley, steal a black diary, and give it to Draco. Then, give him this letter." Lucius Wrote another letter.
