Capítulo 138: Chapter 141: This is My Plan, Will You Participate?
This statement is problematic.
How could the Malfoys dare to report to the Ministry of Magic at this moment? If a Death Eater who escaped from Azkaban took Voldemort's Horcrux from them, the Ministry would surely imprison both of them in Azkaban as well!
"You really won't go to the Ministry?"
Peter seemed completely indifferent, saying irresponsibly, "Even though Bellatrix doesn't know anything, getting her out of Azkaban took me a lot of effort. If she causes only minor trouble, it would be a waste of the opportunity I gave her."
"What do you mean..."
Lucius's face slowly turned blank. However, he quickly understood what Peter meant. Looking incredulously at the guy who was bullied by them in Slytherin, Lucius couldn't help but murmur, "Wait, you mean... you rescued Bellatrix from Azkaban?"
What a joke!
Bellatrix was the most fanatic Death Eater!
Even Narcissa looked at Peter with disbelief!
"She's quite a handful, isn't she?"
Peter casually walked over to the Malfoy family, squatted in front of Lucius, and handed him his elegant wand, smiling slightly, "She even attacked her own family, which must be troubling for you, right?"
"…"
Lucius dared not take the wand. He and his wife had to admit that Peter was right; that crazy woman attacked her nephew without hesitation to achieve her goals!
"I quite like your family."
Peter smiled at the couple, even reaching out his sharp-nailed finger to touch the sleeping Draco, "This is your son, right? So adorable... Only those who cherish their family have value to be exploited..."
Indeed.
Only those with emotional ties and bonds have higher value for exploitation. They might betray for their family, but they would also do things against their will for them.
"…"
Narcissa hugged her son tightly, not daring to let Peter touch Draco, fearing that the Dark Lord before her might curse her child. All Dark Lords are complete lunatics!
"Don't be afraid."
Peter comforted them, continuing softly, "I haven't finished speaking... Only those with exploitable value have a chance to survive."
"…"
Lucius and Narcissa's faces grew more tense. Although they didn't know what Peter wanted, it was clear he harbored ill intentions towards their family. They had value, so they could live?
What kind of twisted logic is that!
Peter extended Lucius's wand towards him, smiling slowly, "Take it. I'm just here to say hello for the first time, to let you know I've got my eyes on you. I'll be using you in the future..."
At this point, Peter suddenly shook his head, correcting himself, "I misspoke. I must use you now. I've planned a conspiracy, and you must participate in it."
"…"
Lucius and his wife's faces turned even uglier.
This bastard...
Is he speaking human language?
Who does things like this!
Peter is crazier than Voldemort, and his methods are worse than Voldemort's!
"Alright, I have more important matters to attend to."
Peter saw that Lucius dared not take the wand and just planted it in the ground, then stood up, "I need to keep an eye on that mad woman to prevent her from causing a catastrophe at the Black house... By the way, if you do nothing, will Voldemort be angry with you when he resurrects?"
"…"
Lucius's expression immediately stiffened. Because Narcissa wasn't a true Death Eater, only Lucius knew that Voldemort would be furious at him for betraying the Death Eaters upon his return. This could be excused...
But...
If it's about the Horcrux...
It wouldn't be easy to explain.
"Forget it."
Peter shook his head, turning to walk towards his dragon, "I'm leaving now. Please wish young Malfoy a pleasant school life at Hogwarts."
At that moment, Peter seemed like a regular guest.
After finishing, Peter climbed onto the gray dragon's head, flying into the sky. He and the dragon quickly became a tiny black dot.
"…"
Narcissa collapsed onto the grass, hugging her son. Seeing Peter leave, she finally relaxed completely.
"Narcissa."
Lucius picked up his wand, suddenly speaking, "Peter… released Bellatrix to obtain some of the Dark Lord's belongings... things that could be his undoing..."
As Lucius calmed down, his clever mind worked. After analyzing, his face turned pale, "That diary is also a Horcrux… Peter is watching Bellatrix to steal the Dark Lord's Horcruxes!"
Indeed.
It must be so.
It didn't take much thought to deduce from Peter's words that Bellatrix was being used by Peter to collect Voldemort's Horcruxes.
"If that's the case..."
Narcissa, sitting on the grass, also paled.
If so, they had just handed over Voldemort's Horcrux!
Though they gave it to the most loyal Death Eater, Bellatrix, it would eventually end up in Peter's hands. If Voldemort found out...
"We didn't know..."
Narcissa hurriedly shook her head, trying to calm her husband, "We knew nothing. Bellatrix took it from us... And he might not even resurrect."
"No, he will come back!"
Lucius shook his head quickly, pacing nervously. The fear from the past resurfaced, "I don't know when, but he will come back. Even Peter believes he will return!"
Yes.
Voldemort would surely return.
Even Peter, the most formidable enemy, who had always used schemes against the third Dark Lord, was convinced of Voldemort's resurrection. Why wouldn't they believe it?
Everyone has something they fear.
Unlike those who lost their fear due to the increasing number of Dark Lords, Lucius had truly seen Voldemort's horrors!
"But what can we do?"
Narcissa shook her head, trying to convince her fearful husband, "We can't stop Bellatrix or retrieve the Dark Lord's Horcrux... Peter must be monitoring her every move. Lucius, he won't allow anyone to disrupt his plans..."
"I know."
Lucius nodded quickly. He helped his wife up and took their son from her arms, "Let's put Draco to bed first. We can ignore this matter..."
At this point, Lucius's voice stopped abruptly.
If they did nothing now, Voldemort would kill him upon his resurrection!
Lucius's expression grew uglier as he voiced his plan, "I'll visit the Ministry. The current Minister, Cornelius Fudge, is greedy. I'll have him send Aurors to capture Bellatrix. Whether they arrest her or not, it will prevent her from unknowingly collecting the Horcruxes..."
The next moment...
Lucius's eyes filled with fear.
He turned slowly to his wife, murmuring, "Narcissa… didn't Peter mention I would go to the Ministry…"
Since their meeting...
Peter seemed to have anticipated Lucius reporting Bellatrix to the Ministry!
This cunning third Dark Lord had planned everything before their talk about Bellatrix!
No.
Rather.
Peter had set everything up, making Lucius choose to report to the Ministry. He wouldn't seek Dumbledore, as that would be suicidal...
This was purely Lucius overthinking.
The Malfoys are easily scared; any minor disturbance terrifies them. It's genetic...
In fact, Peter just wanted them to make a bigger fuss about Bellatrix escaping Azkaban...
"…"
Narcissa's face showed confusion.
She suddenly looked up at her husband, "Lucius, go see Snape and tell him everything. Tell him Peter released Bellatrix and is secretly using her to collect Voldemort's Horcruxes..."
"Yes, you're right..."
Lucius seemed to find his backbone.
Escaping punishment included Severus Snape. Their family had a good relationship with Snape, who was also Draco's godfather.
They could ask Snape.
Since they were in this together.
Honestly, Lucius slightly regretted joining the Death Eaters and following Voldemort. Now, he couldn't escape!
This...
Lucius felt their family was innocent.
Even Bellatrix taking the diary wasn't their fault.
They were truly innocent...
If the Horcrux fell into enemy hands and they did nothing, Voldemort wouldn't believe their innocence...
If...
Only they weren't Death Eaters...
The once proud identity of being a Death Eater was now a burden, forcing them to act to avoid potential retribution from the resurrected Voldemort.
Lucius once thought Voldemort's downfall was due to Peter's schemes;
Seeing Peter in person, Lucius wasn't sure Voldemort could win the Dark Lord's contest. Especially with Gellert Grindelwald watching...
Years ago, many stood with Voldemort too hastily.
This is the downside of choosing sides early; no one could have predicted the wizarding world would turn into this mess so quickly...
