The Rise of Malfoy at Hogwarts

Vol 4 Chapter 157: Future plan

The story of the Harry trio will not be mentioned for the time being.

Old Batty took advantage of the midnight to leave the school hospital. At this time, Hogwarts Castle was under curfew, and no one was seen. The only little Batty who mastered the map of the survival point had already relaxed his vigilance and was injured. For the sake of this, he fell asleep so no one found the whereabouts of the old Batty.

The next difficulty lies in how to get in touch with the young little Malfoy. He was also a member of Slytherin Academy. He knew the location of the Slytherin common room, but he couldn't get in without a secret code. If he touched some warning magic to attract the professors, it would not be worth the loss.

There was no hesitation in his eyes, but a shrewd look flashed from time to time.

Since the young Malfoy had planned to restore his memory at 12 midnight, he wouldn't fail to think of it.

"Can this be regarded as...a test of my ability?" This absurd thought crossed the mind of Old Barty, as if he had suddenly become a young man who had just entered society, and Xie Lin was a man. The scheming old guy, "If I can't even think of this, is it in Malfoy's eyes that my own value will be significantly reduced?" Thinking of this, it is in the mood of the old Barty who is accustomed to the wind and rain. , Can't help but feel a hint of chill.

Old Batty settled, and came to the entrance of the Slytherin common room silently.

Sure enough, he had just arrived at a distance of about ten steps from the entrance, and the stone wall at the entrance of the Slytherin common room opened automatically from the inside.

It was no one else standing at the door, it was the boy with platinum blonde hair, Schelling Malfoy. There was a calm and peaceful smile on his face, as if he had anticipated the arrival of Old Barty.

Schelling is naturally aware of the intentions of the old Barty.

The new memory that popped up in the old Barty’s mind is his masterpiece. Not only that, he also used the Absolute Domination to rewrite the old Barty’s inner personality, and buried his ambitions and desires that he had buried deep in the past, through his extreme affection for family. The shock of disappointment was unearthed again, and buds grew.

In fact, part of Ron’s inferred content last night was correct. Although the attacker was not directed and acted by Schelling, Schelling caused so much trouble, naturally, it would not be because he was full and had nothing to do. , His goal was just as Ron had speculated--

It's Barty Crouch Sr.

The old Batty is a man of power, ambition, means, courage, shrewdness, and courage to make decisions. He is a usable talent. Judging from his ability to fight against the Imperius curse that Voldemort himself planted, as well as the oblivion curse he cast on Bertha Jorkins, his level of magic is not low, and he has a fairly strong personality. strength. This is what Xie Lin values ​​most about him—talent. In contrast, his pure-blooded paternal status and his position as director of the International Cooperation Department are nothing more than icing on the cake.

Schelling looked at the alchemy watch on his wrist. This watch was improved by him, and many more functions were added to it.

The dial of the watch originally had twelve hands and various stars rotating along the edge of the dial. Schelling just swept his fingers across the watch mirror lightly, and he didn't see any magic he was using, and the picture on the dial suddenly changed——

There are still twelve pointers, but each pointer is engraved with a name——

Daphne Greengrass, Murray McDoug, Astoria Greengrass, Luna Lovegood, Cho Chang, Susan Burns, Draco Malfoy, Lu Hughes Malfoy, Narcissa Malfoy, Dobby, Silver Tooth, Barty Crouch Jr.

The edges of the dial are no longer various stars, but descriptions of different states or behaviors.

At this moment, most of the pointers point to the "sleeping" state, including Barty Crouch Jr. This is why Schelling looks at his watch.

After defeating and capturing Batty with a stun spell in the Forbidden Forest, Xie Lin first modified Batty's memory, and then buried the command of "suppression" in his mind, which made him feel very tired. , Drowsy, and then put him back to continue to serve as his Personality for Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. According to Schelling's prediction, at this point in time, the instructions in Batty's brain should have been activated, and logically, he should have fallen asleep.

But Schelling, who is naturally cautious, never does things that are uncertain. He knows that Little Barty has a live map, and most of Hogwarts' secret roads, including the secret road on the fifth floor, can't hide him. So he must make sure that Barty is really asleep at the moment.

Almost all the pointers were pointing as he expected, which made him feel relieved. The only two people who surprised him were beyond his expectation.

Luna and Susan's pointer is pointing to the item "practice magic". Are you still practicing magic after 12 midnight? How hard is this!

Regardless of why Luna and Susan worked so hard, let's focus the scene on the meeting between Schelling and Old Barty!

Schelling put his finger on his lips and made a silent gesture. Although all the humans in Hogwarts have gone to sleep, it does not mean that their meeting is absolutely secret. Portraits, statues, armors, and ghosts in the castle may be Dumbledore's eyeliner.

Xie Lin first put a layer of invisible phantom curse and silent curse on the two of them, and then whispered to the old Barty and him to slowly walk towards the secret path of the mirror on the fifth floor. The two passed through the mirror and walked all the way to the secret room in the basement of Miracle Alchemy Workshop, where the invisible magic was unlocked.

"Sir, have you made a decision?" Xie Lin sacrificed his sleep time at night, but didn't want to waste too much time here, he went straight to the point.

The old Batty fully understood what Schelling meant. This was to ask if he would represent all the forces of the Crouch family and join Schelling's camp, taking his lead. Since he had made a decision when he was in the school hospital, he will not regret it at this moment. He nodded and said, "I have one condition..."

"You want me to kill your son?" Xie Lin didn't have a hard time guessing what he meant.

Old Barty frowned first. To be honest, he was a little palpitated from Schelling's insight into the human heart. This young man really did not look like a young man. In some ways, he was more like the Dark Lord who was good at manipulating people's hearts. But then he quickly let go of his frowning eyebrows, and the harder Xie Lin got, the pressure on him would only be more beneficial, and he became more determined to follow Xie Lin at this moment.

"Yes," he said in a deep voice, with no emotion in his voice, as if the discussion was not about killing his son, but an animal. "As long as he can kill him, erase this secret of mine from the world. , I would like to represent the Crouch family and all affiliated families under the family to swear allegiance to you, even if you make a magic contract."

"Yes." Xie Lin readily agreed, "Then what are your plans now? The mysterious man is still in Crouch House, right? It's not safe for you to go back."

Old Batty thought for a while and asked, "Is this your safe house?"

"No, this is one of my outer strongholds. It is specially used for the students who follow me to gather and practice magic here. The main reason is to covet the convenience of this place. Because of the existence of the secret road, the forces inside and outside the school can be here. Make contact, but it's actually a stronghold that you can give up at any time. If you want to stay here, I have to put a shielding magic on your name so that others will not find you with an owl."

Xie Lin thought for a while, "I have a real safe house outside the school. You can hide there. It's no problem to hide there. The highest level of defensive magic is used there, and even mysterious people can't find you."

What Schelling was thinking about was the Ella Hut inherited from his grandmother, where he cast the most complete "Red Loyalty Curse". If the old Barty hides there and can't come out, no one will even want to find him. .

Old Batty pondered for a while. If he was replaced by Karkaroff who was timid and afraid of death at this moment, he would rush to agree without thinking about it, for fear that Schelling would suddenly regret it. But Old Batty didn’t think that way--

Although the old Batty has experienced the pain of losing his wife, his ambitions have been wiped out. But he didn't let this down. From the fact that he still holds the power of the chief of a division, and that he takes his work too seriously, it can be seen that deep down in his heart, he still has an irresistible attachment to power and cause.

When he was working at the Ministry of Magic, he wasn't bludgeoning his life, but he was like a mirror to everything around him. At that time, he was frustrated with chasing power, but he just felt that all this was no longer important to him. Since it's nothing to do with me, I don't bother to pay attention to it.

Last summer, on the day when Schelling was awarded the Merlin Class III Medal at Wiesengarmore, Fudge’s prestige was greatly affected by the Blake’s escape. Fudge tried to draw Schelling closer to the Ministry of Magic and promoted the Ministry. The image in the eyes of the public is just like the way he used Dumbledore's banner to finally select the Minister of Magic. Old Batty knew about this.

Later, Schelling took this opportunity to visit the Ministry of Magic from time to time, talked to the staff of each department and asked questions. On the surface, he was learning and understanding the operation of the Ministry, but in fact he used Amelia Bones With Rufus Scolinger as a bridge, he began to build a network in the Ministry of Magic, using various coercive methods to build a close and vast alliance of interests.

The boy Fudge probably didn't know what kind of existence he had introduced to the Ministry of Magic, and he was still silly and happy to improve his image!

Instead, far away from the center of power, the old Batty, who was watching coldly, succeeded in insight. He watched the infiltration of one department by one department of Schelling, and several departments suddenly had small but frequent personnel changes~www.wuxiahere.com~ First, the head of the law enforcement reconnaissance team suddenly changed, and then the Auror logistics The intelligence chief in the army, and then the two directors of the Beast Division and the Alien Division of the Biological Management and Control Department...

He knew that behind Schelling, there was more than just a Malfoy family standing.

According to what he has observed in the Ministry of Magic, he is more than 90% sure that the Burns family, the Wakanda family, the Osbot family, the Runcorn family, and the McLagen family have stood behind Schelling. . This does not even count those high-level officials of the Ministry of Magic whose families are silent but have real power, such as Rufus Scolinger, Arnold Pisgood, Bernie Piersworth, Bertie Higg Wait.

As for the forces outside the Ministry of Magic, he is also the head of one of the 28 holy pureblood families and has his own intelligence network. Although he is not keen to hang around with the supporters of the pure-blooded supremacy, it does not mean that he has no intersection with them at all.

He had long heard that the Greengrass family and the Knot family had an extraordinary relationship with Schelling. He can also be sure that it is definitely not just these two families that secretly befriended Schelling.

This shows that Schelling has no shortage of allies and followers at all. What he lacks and desires is just--

Talent.

Excellent talent.

Talents who can do things for him.

It's not just the mediocre people who make up the numbers for the sake of being strong.

Old Batty can be sure that if he agreed to the suggestion of hiding in the safe house so easily, then his evaluation in Schelling’s heart will drop by at least one rating, or it may be worse, and it will directly lose the value of being recruited by him. .
