Chapter 220 Tom Riddle's Diary
A group of people walked towards Malfoy Manor.
A wrought-iron gate blocked their way, but no one actually stopped, but Apparated and walked right through it, as if the black gate didn't exist.
The yew hedge muffled the sound of the footsteps.
There was a sudden rustling sound from somewhere to the right, and a wizard instantly drew his wand and held it over the heads of his companions.
The wizard looked so strange, his hair was gray, and his eyes were completely different, one was black and the other was a vivid bright blue.
Arthur Weasley raised his hand and comforted: "Alastor take it easy, it's just a white peacock."
Mad-Eye turned his magic eyes around a few times, and after confirming that it was indeed just a peacock and not some wizard, he put down his wand and stuffed it back into his cloak.
"This Malfoy always plays it so gaudy, peacock... really resembles their family's smug personality." Mad-Eye snorted.
He said rudely: "I don't know if the white peacock will taste delicious if it is stewed!"
Arthur was speechless for a moment, he began to worry whether it was a wrong decision to bring Mad-Eye here.
There are four of them in total.
In addition to Arthur, the director of the Misuse of Muggle Substances Office, there is also a staff member named Perkins.
Perkins is an old wizard, Arthur's colleague and subordinate, he has a head of floppy gray hair, and he will soon retire.
Besides the two of them, there were members of the Magical Law Enforcement Scouts.
The Magical Law Enforcement Scouting Squad, formerly known as the Magical Law Enforcement Squad, is a department responsible for general law enforcement.
Finally, a soon-to-retire Auror, Mad-Eye Moody, was added to form the four-man assault team.
At the end of the straight road, a very decent mansion suddenly appeared in front of several people.
They creaked on the gravel road towards the main entrance, and just as they got there, they were about to knock on the door when it was opened.
Lucius came out. He stood at the door, and his eyes were immediately attracted by Arthur who was at the front.
He looked at Arthur and said domineeringly, "Why are you here?!"
"A sudden raid in the ministry." Arthur smiled smugly.
"The Ministry's inspection...Even so, you should have notified me before you came to my house, right?" Lucius had a gloomy face, remembering the "Muggle Protection Act" he had seen before.
I didn't expect that I was still worried before, but now the other party came to me.
"This is private territory, you just walk in like this, I can think that I can take self-defense actions at any time..." Lucius threatened.
"Come on!" Mad-Eye took out his wand, and he limped towards Lucius. Every time his right foot landed, there was a loud thump, thump, thump.
"Attack the Aurors if you have the ability, try and see who can spell faster!"
There was an eerie silence all around.No one dared to move except Moody.
Moody's face was horrific at this moment, his normal eye was looking at Lucius's, and the other eye was drilled into his head, looking in other directions vigilantly.
It seems that it will be attacked from other directions at any time.
"Mad-Eye... why are you here too?" Lucius took two steps back in fear, "It's just a check for black magic items, can you still use Aurors?"
Lucius was right, the raid was led by Arthur Weasley's department and it was just for the Dark Arts inspection.
He had brought the Magical Law Enforcement Squad.
Scouts function similarly to Muggle police and are usually responsible for routine law enforcement duties.
The Auror Office is responsible for dealing with high-risk or special magical crimes.
The arrival of Mad-Eye is a bit of a fuss. It's as if you were drinking tea at home, and suddenly the FBI kicked the door open, shouting: "Open the door!"
If it were you, you would be nervous too!
What's more, Mad-Eye is no ordinary Auror. He is known for his fierce style, and he has personally killed many...Death Eaters!
Arthur pulled Mad-Eye back, and said in as gentle a tone as possible: "Malfoy, whoever checks has nothing to do with you.
We are a departmental operation and this is a warrant from Lady Amelia Burns, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement!
Totally reasonable and legal, please get out of the way! "
Arthur shook a piece of paper.
The Department of Magical Law Enforcement is one of the seven departments that make up the Ministry of Magic. It is responsible for the administration of justice and law, and is the largest department of the Ministry of Magic.
These include the Misuse of Magic Division, the Auror Office and the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Division.
These departments of Arthur and the others belong to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and there is no problem in saying that it is a joint investigation.
Lucius had a sullen face, Amelia Bones was the one Dumbledore pushed up to... kill her sooner or later.
But Lucius didn't move away, still blocking the door.
"Why, you dare not let us in?" Mad-Eye sneered, "Afraid that my eyes will find your master's things?"
"What do you mean?!" Lucius took two steps back guiltily, "I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean, Moody."
Lucius tried to sound contemptuous, as if he didn't care about Moody's words, but his hands gave away his heart, they clenched into fists involuntarily.
Lucius didn't dare to face Mad-Eye, and turned his gaze to Arthur, who was getting more and more bald.
"I also take issue with your actions. We all know that Moody would think the evening was wasted if he didn't find seven men trying to murder him before dinner."
Lucius protested loudly, "He has severe paranoia. This is my private house. If he doesn't control himself..."
"What, I'm paranoid?" Moody roared. "My job is to deal with dark wizards—you won't forget..."
"Alastor!" Arthur stopped. "Stop talking to him. He's wasting time. He should have passed through the fireplace just now, and delivered a letter to the Ministry."
Lucius looked at Arthur annoyed.
The four stopped talking to Lucius and walked in.
Lucius stared at them darkly.
Fifteen minutes later, Umbridge arrived with Fudge's cease and desist order.
Arthur Weasley They just searched the front hall and found some prohibited items, more rooms, they didn't have time to search.
After the Ministry of Magic officials left, Lucius hurried into the study.
Draco had left and the coffee had been cleaned from the carpet.
"What should I do?" Narcissa asked worriedly. "Or send them all to the vault?"
"They're all black magic items, why send them to the vault?" Lucius thought for a while and said, "Let's sell them to Knockturn Alley in batches."
"Honey, what do you think of this?" Narcissa asked puzzled, "Weasley and the others dare to search our house behind the back of the Minister of Magic like this?"
"How could Fudge not know!" Lucius said angrily, "He must know, but he just pretended not to know and waited for me to write to him!
Then, he pinpointed the time, waited ten minutes, and sent Umbridge.
It can check some things and give the Weasleys a little face, but it won't hurt me and sell me some face.
In the end, I can beat us and ask me to donate some more Galleons to curry favor with him!
Fudge, he's taking advantage of the struggle between me and Weasley, it's a good balance! "
Lucius stood up wearily, "Okay, I'll go in and find out some illegal items, and sell them at Bojin Ke's store in a few days.
That stingy old guy must be very happy! "
He turned abruptly and walked towards a far wall.There hung an eight-foot portrait of William I.
As Lucius worked his magic, the portrait on the wall opened like a door, revealing the entrance to a real tunnel.
He walked in, about 2 minutes, into a slightly smaller room, which was full of debris.
Some are precious magic items, but most are dark magic items.
Of course, the really valuable things are all in the Gringotts vault.
Lucius rummaged through the shelves and dropped a roll of parchment and a few heads into the box.
He quickly walked to the end of the shelf, where there was only a thick diary covered with dust.
Lucius picked up the diary.
The faded date on the cover suggests it was 50 years ago.
When he opened it, on the first page, he could make out only one name written in blurred ink: Tom Riddle.
This diary is what Lucius needs to deal with urgently, because it was given to him by Voldemort!
It used to be glory, but now it is a hot potato.
If he was searched by Weasley, it would be enough for him to get a one-way ticket to Azkaban and live with his beautiful sister-in-law, Bella.
Lucius quickly flipped through the diary, and it was blank with nothing in it.
Since it is an item bestowed by the Dark Lord, it naturally has a special purpose.
But he studied it many times, but found nothing.
In fact, Lucius had questioned his father, Abraxas Malfoy.
This diary was from 50 years ago, and his father was at Hogwarts at the time, so he should know something.
But his father only told him that this diary might be able to open the Chamber of Secrets and clean up the Muggle students at Hogwarts.
He refused to say any more, and he kept secret about the vague name of Tang Riddle.
and many more……
Since this diary is so powerful, why not secretly throw it to the Weasley children?
Come to think of it, Weasley, the man who instituted the Muggle Protection Act, has his children attacking Muggle-born students at Hogwarts.
Weasley's reputation would be tarnished, and he might be disqualified from making laws, just to buy time.
If there are too many dead, it can also drive Dumbledore out of Hogwarts.
The most important thing is to get rid of this very easy to cause trouble physical evidence.
It kills three birds with one stone... Lucius even admired his own brain, how smart it is!
Even if none of these work out, there is nothing to lose.
Lucius really didn't report much hope.
After all, Riddle... sounds like a mudblood's surname. Can his diary really open the secret room?
By Riddle?
Ha ha……
A diary-keeper?
Serious people who keep a diary?
In front of Riddle, Lucius dared to curse like this:
Scumbag!
