Capítulo 279: Voldemort's Plan, Elf’s Tears
In the Slytherin common room, Lucas was sitting opposite to Draco.
Draco just finished speaking and Lucas immediately cast a muffliato spell on the entire common room to prevent eavesdroppers.
"If I'm not wrong, he should have asked you to recruit fresh blood in school, right?"
Draco raised his head, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Yes, this is indeed the task he gave me, but that's not all."
"Huh?" Lucas asked curiously.
Besides this matter, what else did Voldemort want Draco to do?
Draco frowned slightly, and said puzzledly: "He asked me to cooperate with my companion in school, but he never told me who this companion is."
"Companion?" Lucas looked up at the ceiling, watching those black lake creatures swimming around.
When Draco mentioned a companion, he first thought of Professor Snape. But if it is really the Professor, he has no reason not to know.
Then it should be someone else, the most probable should be Dolores Umbridge!
The Toad's name suddenly appeared in Lucas's mind.
"Draco, if Umbridge asks you for help, no matter what, agree first."
"You suspect it's her?" Draco asked in surprise.
Immediately afterwards, he frowned and said: "It should be impossible, such an ostentatious person will actually be used by the Dark Lord?"
"I'm going to ask you this. You've been giving Voldemort a foot rub all summer. Haven't you seen Umbridge?"
Hearing Lucas's description, Draco rolled his eyes: "No, I'm just a newcomer, and I'm not qualified to participate in many things."
"What about your father?"
Draco frowned more and more tightly: "You-know-who seems to be wary of our Malfoy family. Father has only been dealing with trivial matters recently."
"However, he still heard some useful news. You-know-who has been in contact with his former subordinates recently. The werewolf leader Fenrir Greyback has clearly replied that he will continue to serve him."
"There are also giants. It seems that the negotiation is going well. If there is no accident, the giants will also join the Death Eaters. Finally, there will be Azkaban."
"The Dark Lord seems to be planning to attack Azkaban, but the exact time is still unclear. Father wants you to pay more attention."
Lucas nodded, Azkaban will be breached sooner or later and neither he nor Dumbledore have been preparing to do anything about it.
They didn't intend to forcefully stop them, but it was certain that Voldemort would be angry.
Even if he rescued the prisoners of Azkaban, it would be useless trash.
"I know everything, Pansy, Daphne, Blaise and Theodore, plus Crabbe and Goyle, all your cronies and friends are entrusted to you."
Lucas was talking about the heirs of the families who had made an unbreakable vow to Lucius Malfoy.
Besides Crabbe and Goyle, among these few people, everyone else has their own shrewdness.
If there is an emergency, they can also help Draco.
"If you let Pansy and the others know that they have such a position in your heart, I'm afraid they will be very upset."
Hearing Draco's teasing, Lucas smiled lightly: "But don't get too excited, I need you to pay attention to the students from families close to Voldemort in Slytherin."
"If anyone wants to integrate into your small group, you must notify me in time, and I will try to notify Mr. Malfoy, so as to avoid the possibility of him being exposed."
Draco nodded solemnly.
Ending the conversation with Draco, Lucas didn't go back to his room to sleep.
Hogwarts at night is still so gloomy.
Lucas followed the path in the dungeons to the door of the potions office.
Knocking on the door, Professor Snape's voice came from inside immediately.
"Professor, you really haven't slept yet!"
"Thanks to some troll brain kids, I have to prepare the required potion ingredients every time I go to class!"
Hearing the strong resentment in the Professor's tone, Lucas secretly thought that it was really not the right time for him to come.
He hurriedly changed the subject, looked at the cauldron next to him and asked, "What kind of potion is being brewed here?"
"A potion used to restore the Dark Lord's body."
Lucas had a serious expression on his face: "How long will it take to brew?"
"Anytime."
Hearing Professor Snape's answer, Lucas looked at him in surprise, but he quickly understood what he meant.
The potion that Harry drank before the resurrection ritual was developed by Professor Snape.
He also certainly knew how to deal with that situation.
"Then when will he finish recovering?"
"At the latest, three months."
"December, Christmas, Azkaban?"
Surprise flashed across Snape's eyes.
"That's right, he should be planning to attack Azkaban during the Christmas holiday."
"But this is also my guess, and I can't be completely sure."
After he finished speaking, he continued to prepare the potion materials needed for tomorrow's class.
Lucas stood by the cauldron and stared at it for a long time before turning and walking towards him.
"Professor, according to the agreement, I brought you the last ingredient of the Spirit Purifying Potion."
Professor Snape's hand snapped.
Seeing the vial appearing on the desk, he quickly picked it up.
"Is this the Elf's tears?"
He asked as he looked at the tears shining like liquid diamonds in the bottle.
"That's right, genuine elf tears."
Snape didn't bother to continue sorting out the materials, but instead threw the job to Lucas.
Looking at Professor Snape who was setting up the cauldron and preparing to brew the Spirit Purifying Potion, Lucas shook his head helplessly.
Don't look at the troubles that the potions master likes to cause for Harry on weekdays.
He is actually really concerned about his safety.
After Lucas had distributed all the ingredients, Professor Snape had already put the ingredients of the Spirit Purifying Potion into the cauldron.
"This potion needs to be brewed for at least one year. During this period, there must be no mistakes. If I have to go out for something, you will take care of it."
"Don't worry, I understand the importance of this potion." Lucas replied.
The two watched the dragon blood, the phoenix blood, and the elf tears swirling in the cauldron, and then slowly blended together.
Time passed by like this.
Then Lucas suddenly remembered that he still had something to ask.
"Professor, Umbridge…"
"You are right, she is indeed a Death Eater, and she is also the first Ministry of Magic staff member to join the Death Eaters after the newspaper published the Dark Lord's return."
"Then what's the purpose of her coming here?" Lucas asked.
Snape turned to look at the boy beside him: "You and Dumbledore!"
"What?" Lucas hadn't reacted yet.
"The target is you and Dumbledore, she wants to use her identity to sow discord between you and the Ministry of Magic, and make your unfriendly relationship even worse."
"As for how to deal with Dumbledore, I don't know, but with the relationship between Pius Thicknesse and Dumbledore, Umbridge can only cause some trouble for Dumbledore at most."
After saying these words, Snape continued to read the ancient potions book in his hand.
And according to the instructions in it, use the wand to stir the potion in the cauldron clockwise to speed up the fusion of several main ingredients.
…
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the thin drizzle started again.
The fifth year students finally had to attend their first lesson of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
For this course, the students are still looking forward to it.
Forgetting about their first and second years, the teaching of their third and fourth years was very good and they learned a lot of useful knowledge.
In their third year, Professor Lupin was humorous and taught them how to deal with various dangerous creatures.
Then in their fourth year with Professor Moody, although scary in appearance, he really taught them how to deal with the enemy.
So they were looking forward to what Professor Umbridge would teach them even if she didn't make the best first impression.
Hermione was actually one of them.
The 15 almost 16 year old Hermione had become quite beautiful. Whenever he walked beside her, Lucas felt a little itchy.
Hermione rolled her eyes at her boyfriend, but the smile on her mouth never disappeared. Having her boyfriend so attracted to her looks made her really happy.
"Still watching? You promised my parents that you would wait until we are adults!"
Lucas shrugged his shoulders: "Of course, it's only a year and a half anyway, so I can afford to wait."
Hermione blushed slightly, shook off his hand and walked into the classroom.
Not long after the two sat down, Umbridge walked in with figure eight steps.
"Good afternoon, everyone!"
"Good afternoon." The students replied weakly.
"That's not okay, and I'd like to hear from you: 'Good afternoon, Professor Umbridge' again."
"Good afternoon, Professor Umbridge!"
Compared with the lazy voices from just now, the voices this time were obviously much louder.
"Very good. Before starting this course, we must first grasp the classroom discipline. Those students who eat snacks, please hand in your snacks."
Seeing that no one came forward, Umbridge drew out her wand and pointed at a few people. Then a bunch of snacks flew out of these people's desks and pockets.
Umbridge glanced at everyone proudly, and then looked at the couples sitting together in the classroom.
"Although the school doesn't object to your falling in love, at least you should keep it out of class. In order to concentrate on listening, I think it's better for you to sit separately."
Couples of young lovers were forced to separate under the watchful eyes of Umbridge.
Soon, she looked at Lucas and Hermione who were sitting in the first row.
She didn't directly target Lucas this time, but all the young couples just for this reason.
Now that everyone else has separated, if Lucas still insists on sitting together with his girlfriend, don't say she is deliberately causing trouble!.
