The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts Chapter 622 Crazy In the empty dungeon corridor, Draco felt the wind blowing around him, as if there were countless grievances whimpering.

He could even imagine that just a few months ago, there were a large number of prisoners who were transferred here because of the dementors' rebellion and the fall of Azkaban.

But after Link promoted the restructuring of the Ministry of Magic, all the prisoners here were executed overnight.

Thus it became as clean as it is now!

"Tap! ~Tap! ~Tap!~..."

The sound of rhythmic footsteps suddenly came from the distant darkness.

This sudden change caused Draco, who was already highly tense, to hug Narcissa, and almost couldn't help screaming.

"Oh! Don't panic! That's the Dungeon Warden!"

Mario called out into the darkness, "Old Rick, you're scaring our guests!"

"If I were you, I wouldn't bring some people down. This is not a place where everyone can come."

An old man with white beard and hair limped out of the darkness. While talking, he looked at Snape, Draco and others.

"Don't say that, old Rick, I'm thinking of you!" Mario retorted with a smile, "They're here to pick up that Malfoy out of prison, hand him over to them, and then your prisoners here will be cleared." Zero, you should rest for a while and wait for Azkaban to be rebuilt, right?"

"You want to rebuild Azkaban?" Draco stammered, "But...but all the dementors have already..."

"The young master said, we can't keep killing like this. After we stabilize in the future, there should be a prison like Azkaban that is independent of the Ministry of Magic. This can solve many problems. And dementia Blame is not an unnecessary item, we have..."

Halfway through Mario's words, Old Rick interrupted:

"Shut up! Mario! You talk too much!"

"What's the big deal?" Mario pointed at Snape disapprovingly and said, "See? This is the young master's professor, one of his own!"

"Ah--"

Old Rick sneered disdainfully, "I don't want to talk nonsense with you, Lucius Malfoy, right? Hehehehe."

After saying that, old Rick walked into the darkness again without looking back.

The three of Snape also followed under the leadership of Mario.

A group of people wandered through the empty dungeon corridor for a quarter of an hour before finally stopping in front of the deepest cell.

Compared with the other cells outside, this cell seemed to be more closed, almost completely buried in the rock wall, only an iron door with a window stood in front of everyone.

Through the narrow iron window, everyone could vaguely see the scene in the cell.

What was surprising was that it was very clean inside, not even a trace of human existence, and there was no sign of Lucius at all.

Just when everyone was wondering, old Rick put the torch in his hand on the lampstand beside him, then opened the iron door and walked in.

He kicked something on the ground with his feet, and after a while, there was a miserable howl in the cell:

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm willing to say anything, I'm willing to say anything, I still have information to share, if you kill me, Lord Link Foley will kill you...don't kill I."

Amidst the howling, a thin figure suddenly emerged from the ground.

This is not an exaggerated modification, but the most realistic description.

Because there is really a big pit about half a meter deep on the ground of the cell, and that figure has been hiding in that pit all the time.

Narcissa burst into tears.

Although the voice of the person in front of him was a little weird.

But she still knows.

Because that is her husband!

"Lucius! Stop making trouble! Come out!"

Snape also frowned.

His voice was not too loud, but it was almost deafening in the small cell.

Lucius let out a scream when he heard the words, looked up and looked around for Snape.

And when he saw that Snape, Narcissa and Draco were all waiting at the door of the cell, he jumped out of the pit like a spring, and crawled to Snape's feet with hands and feet that could almost see the bones , holding Snape's calf tightly, crying extremely wronged:

"You're really here! Severus! You're really here to save me? They said it, they said you pleaded with the respected Lord Link Foley, I still can't believe it, but I didn’t expect it to be true! Woohoo!”

Snape stretched out his hand to help him up, but Lucius didn't seem to be able to perceive anything outside right now, and Snape's calf hurt from his hands.

"Hehe, I advise you to let him hold you." Old Rick sneered, "He is in ecstasy now, if you separate him immediately, maybe he will die immediately instead!"

Snape's movements froze suddenly, he stopped trying to pull Lucius, but raised the already lit wand of Lumos and began to check for Lucius.

It was only after Chasnape that he suddenly discovered that Lucius, who had been well maintained, had platinum-blonde long hair that was completely pale and dry like straw, and his whole body was tattered and almost covered with black hair. green.

Of course, the most serious thing is his hands.

Those two 'Jade Hands' that were so spoiled and spoiled that they couldn't even see a callus were now covered with white bones at the end of their ten fingers.

Seeing this scene, Narcissa and Draco couldn't bear it anymore, rushed forward and hugged Lucius, crying bitterly.

And Snape looked at old Rick with a cold face.

"You can't blame me for this," Old Rick said nonchalantly, spitting, "Most of the injuries on his body were caused by himself. Especially those hands, when he dug the hole himself Worn."

This is total fart!

Snape cursed in his heart, but he also knew that it was of no use for him to argue with the jailer right now, he could only suppress his anger and politely say:

"In the final analysis, it is already rare to be able to come out alive. Naturally, we will not blame you."

"hypocritical!"

Old Rick grumbled, then took out a roll of parchment and recited solemnly, "Now the final judgment on Lucius Malfoy is pronounced!

Lucius Malfoy, male, born in 1954, committed the crime of endangering public safety by dangerous means and caused serious consequences.

The death penalty was originally scheduled to be carried out immediately.

However, the executive agency, the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic of the United States, found out that the criminal Lucius Malfoy did show repentance and major meritorious service during his detention, which met the conditions for a reduced sentence.

Now the application has been finally ruled by Barty Crouch, the current director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and Link Foley, the current Ministry of Magic committee member. Political rights for life! "

"Snapped!"

The sheepskin scroll was closed again and again, and old Rick said expressionlessly:

"Then now, get out!"

After saying that, old Rick limped towards the darkness deeper in the dungeon.

This made both Draco and Narcissa dumbfounded. They didn't understand what the sentencing just meant, so they could only look at Mario in unison.

It's a pity that Mario obviously doesn't know much about this aspect, so he can only shake his head helplessly.

Finally, Snape sighed and said:

"The probation for ten years and the deprivation of political rights for life mean that Lucius will basically have to live in the country like a mouse for the rest of his life. He can't do anything anymore, and he can't understand the country. And if he If he dares to make the slightest mistake, what awaits him will be death!"

"That is to say," Narcissa said nervously, "as long as he doesn't commit any crimes, he doesn't have to die?"

Snape nodded.

Narcissa was relieved when she saw this.

For her, it is already very good that the family can continue to live in peace and stability.

As for other things, she is no longer extravagant.

After resting for a while, the group of people set off to walk outside.

Along the way, Lucius' spirit was still a little abnormal.

He seemed to have forgotten the existence of Narcissa and Draco, and only Snape was left in his mind.

When Snape took a step, Lucius followed. As long as he met someone from the Ministry of Magic, he would immediately hide behind Snape.

Obviously, his guts had already been frightened.

It wasn't until Mario sent them out of the Ministry of Magic and returned to Malfoy Manor, and Snape gave him initial treatment, that the familiar illusion around him finally brought Lucius back to his senses.

What followed was a new round of more miserable crying.

Looking at the Malfoy family embracing and crying in front of them, Snape took a deep breath.

Lucius' injuries were far more serious than he expected.

Although there were potions and healing techniques for treatment, permanent damage was still left behind.

Snape initially estimated that Lucius' lifespan should have been affected.

This made him very uncomfortable.

"Severus, thank you so much!" Lucius broke free from the arms of his wife and son at some point, and said to Snape with red eyes, "If you hadn't moved the respected Lord Link Foley, I am absolutely dead this time! I am willing to..."

Snape waved his hand, interrupted Lucius, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Lucius, there may still be some hidden wounds on your body that I haven't been able to detect. So, tell me about the source of your injuries, how did they torture you? This will be very helpful for me to discover your hidden wounds."

As soon as this remark came out, the tears that Narcissa and Draco had finally stopped flowed down again.

Their eyes were all focused on Lucius' bandaged hands. In their opinion, Lucius must have experienced terrible torture.

And Lucius himself was in a daze when he heard the words, as if he remembered something extremely terrifying.

"It was indeed...it was a terrible torture!" Lucius said tremblingly, "They won't let me sleep!"

Narcissa:?

Draco:?

"You mean, they tortured you by not letting you sleep?"

Snape shook his head and said in disbelief.

Draco, who had reacted, was even more excited. He rushed to help Lucius and said:

"Dad, you don't have to be afraid anymore, it's safe here, they can't harm you, you can tell us the truth!"

"But I'm telling the truth."

"But... this is unreasonable at all, you have so many injuries on your body!"

"You mean these injuries? I caused them all myself."

"how can that be?"

"It's nothing impossible, because it's sleep deprivation." Snape said lightly, "I've already recalled that similar punishments were carried out by the Dark Lord in the past when facing some important prisoners. The principle is that through uninterrupted Strong light, noise, splashing ice water and other means prevent prisoners from falling asleep.

Generally speaking, from the third day onwards, the prisoners will have a mental breakdown.

Lucius, if I'm not mistaken, they also let you take Veritaserum from the third day, or directly perform Legilimency spells on you, right? "

Lucius was already curled up at this moment, trembling constantly.

When Snape called his name, he just nodded in panic.

"Ugh--"

Snape sighed, "That's understandable. Sleep deprivation, mental breakdown, coupled with Legilimency spells and Veritaserum, this kind of mental pain will directly lead you to seek relief through self-harm.

Well, Lucius, your situation is no longer suitable for going out.

Stay well and recuperate at Malfoy Manor.

The damage you've suffered mentally can only be relieved in this way. "

Hearing this, Narcissa breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded decisively.

She also didn't want Lucius to go out and scare her away again, and Snape's proposal was exactly what she wanted.

But Draco plucked up his courage when he heard the words:

"Why don't we leave the country as soon as possible? After all, the country is Link Foley's territory. As long as he is around, we will never be able to..."

"Shut up! Draco!"

Narcissa yelled and interrupted Draco, "Did you forget that your father can't leave the country? You want to kill your father?"

Draco was extremely wronged, and said a little unconvinced:

"But...but Link Foley might have revenge on us."

"Who do you think Link Foley is? Is he guilty of retaliating after releasing your father? What's more, your father was released only after Professor Snape pleaded with him. With Professor Snape around, Link Foley How could Master Li do that? You say that because you don't trust Professor Snape!"

Narcissa said with a grim face.

But Snape noticed that although Narcissa was talking to Draco, her eyes would fall on him from time to time.

He shook his head with a wry smile.

Narcissa, this is forcing him with words.

If Link really took revenge on the Malfoy family in the follow-up, it would mean that Snape had failed the trust of the Malfoy family.

Narcissa is really a smart woman.

At this moment, Lucius, who had been curled up to the side, suddenly stood up.

He rushed in front of Draco at a speed that ordinary people could not understand, and punched Draco directly in the face.

"How dare you, how dare you call the respected Lord Link Foley by his first name? Do you know that you need to add an honorific title? You must add an honorific title..."

Lucius kept murmuring, his face full of madness.
