Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 154
The night is already deep, and the thick clouds cover the bright moon in the sky, making the whole world hazy.
A lot of defensive spells were laid secretly around Riddle House.Although it looks like nothing has changed here, anyone who steps into the neighborhood at will will definitely run into big trouble!
Fortunately, the Muggles are no longer close to this place; and the wizard, I'm afraid no one would want to come here to take a look.
At this moment, on the upper floor of this dilapidated old house in Riddle's House, the atmosphere in the study was very depressing, and people couldn't help but sweat.
Right at the long table, Maca and Lucius Malfoy stood face to face, and the atmosphere became extremely solemn.The other Death Eaters were all staring at them closely, their eyes constantly moving around Maca and Lucius.
Heart Drilling Mantra, one of the three unforgivable mantras.
This is a black magic that has a dual effect on the soul. It makes people feel the continuous pain of the whole body cutting flesh and bones. At the same time, the soul of the person who is cast is also oscillated with the fluctuation of the magic power to generate the spirit. Level trauma.
If it lasts too long, it will even lead to the extreme consequences of a torn soul. The Longbottoms and Neville's parents, who are still insane at St. Mungo, are an example before us.
To be honest, many people present have a soft spot for this evil spell, because it can not only be used for torture, but also allows them to appreciate the extremely painful expression of the person being casted.
Especially Bellatrix, with her sadistic personality, has always been very keen to torture others with this terrifying spell.
However, none of the people present-including Voldemort-hadn't seen what it was like for a Heart Drilling spell that lasted more than 30 seconds.It's not that they couldn't cast the Heart Drilling Curse for so long, but that no one has ever been able to stay mad after holding on for so long.
"Lucius, please!" Maca said calmly, looking at his restless expression.
Maca didn't care about the drill spell.He hasn't tried how long he can last in the endless pain-to be honest, who would try this thing?
But if he understands the principle, he still has some certainty.
Lucius turned his head and glanced in the direction of his master, only to see Voldemort giving him a "hurry up" look.He swallowed sharply, and pointed the wand in his hand at Maca, and his flustered mind was exposed by the slightly trembling tip of the wand.
Lucius Malfoy, the current head of the Malfoy family and the father of Draco Malfoy.
Speaking of it, he didn't really want to stand on Voldemort's side, especially when Voldemort had already failed once.
But once he had followed Voldemort and joined the ranks of Death Eaters, he was already involuntarily.
As a supporter of the pure-blood theory of magic, as the head of a pure-blood family, all he wants is to maintain the status and interests of the family.He is not a good person, but compared with Death Eaters like Bellatrix, his determination to do evil seems to be a little bit inferior.
To put it bluntly, the courage is not enough, there is no madness from the heart.
And this is exactly the true portrayal of most Death Eaters.
"Drill your heart out!"
Standing in the same place, Maca immediately shook his whole body. An indescribable pain spread from the inside to the outside, as if every inch of skin, every piece of flesh, every bone was scraped by a needle knife, making him unable to help Snorted.
But Lucius was also shaking.
Use the three unforgivable spells on others, no matter what the reason is, these are all to be sent to Azkaban!He couldn't imagine, if Voldemort failed again, he would use any means to escape from prison.
More than ten years ago, he used "being controlled by the Imperius Curse" as an excuse to shirk all guilt-at least, that's what some insiders think.But only he understood that in order to make this excuse more reliable, he had spent a lot of Jin Jialong and even made several very valuable promises.
What about this time?Next time?
Those "old colleagues" detained in Azkaban told him with facts that people would not be so lucky every time.
But although he was afraid, he didn't dare to disobey any orders from Voldemort.
The Heart Drilling Curse fell on Maca, but Lucius also felt unspeakable panic and pain.
"Ok?"
In the boundless pain, Maca noticed some peculiar situations-as his soul kept shaking, he seemed to feel a certain emotion called "anger".
No, not only anger, but other emotions and emotions are looming, as if some kind of seal will be unlocked in the next second, and he will return to his heart... but just a little bit!
With the induction of emotions, Maca discovered that she seemed to be able to "see" the magic in her body again!
Although it was still very unclear, and there were times when emotions loomed, but this discovery made him feel extremely lucky when he was in pain.
However, although the soul is still oscillating, but for some reason, it is always worse.
Maca gritted her teeth, her eyes widened, and she silently endured the dual pain of her soul.But under the pain that was enough to make others collapse, he felt sorry for the lack of effect of the Heart Drilling Curse.
It is not that he is born to be more able to withstand pain than others, but because he has pulled out his soul for examination dozens of hundreds of times in the past in order to explore his own emotional loss.
I have to say that under the premise of ensuring safety, Maca treats himself really hard.
Time passed second after second, but Maca stood still firmly on the spot.Although his forehead was already full of sweat oozing from the pain, he never showed excessive pain.
When Lucius put down his wand, there was even a trace of regret in Maca's eyes.
"Very good, very good..." Voldemort applauded, "I have to say, you are indeed worthy of special treatment. A one-minute drill spell, this is a new record that has never been seen before—"
Maca wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and let out a breath.
"Then I would like to thank you for taking a different look," he said calmly, "I think it's rare to be praised by the Dark Lord, and it's worth including it in my autobiography."
"Then, let's talk about the next cooperation content..."
Voldemort took a deep look at Maca, then reached out and invited him back to his seat.As for Lucius, Voldemort didn't talk to him anymore.After a while, Lucius, who was a little at a loss, had to walk toward his position griefly.
...
A few days later, the president's office of Durmstrang College.
"McLean, where have you been the last few days?" Karkaroff asked strangely.
To be honest, if Maca keeps missing, he is too happy to have time!But now Maca suddenly came back, facing the questions of several teachers, as the principal, he had to pretend to intervene.
However, Maca just glanced at him and asked profoundly, "Do you really want to know?"
Needless to say, this guy must have gone to see Dumbledore or Voldemort. No matter who he went to meet, Karkaroff didn't want to know... Yes, not at all!
"Um... I just ask about it routinely, so let's do it!" He smiled awkwardly.
"Since it's here, I have to mention something to you first... During the period before the Triwizard Tournament, remember not to run around, otherwise I may not be able to take care of you." Maca reminded. ,"Do you understand me?"
"Are you saying...'that person' has noticed me?" Karkaroff trembled all over, and what he feared most seemed to have happened.
But Maca shook his head.
"Not yet, but... who knows?" Maca shrugged. "It's always right to be careful in everything, isn't it?"
"You're right," Karkaroff nodded, he thought about it, and then said, "By the way, what do you want to do when you start that duel club? There will be a lot of noise all day long, teachers. You're all talking in secret, can't you stop a bit?"
"Now Voldemort has been paying attention to the dynamics of the whole world. I need him to be able to see me all the time, do you understand?" Maca said indifferently, "Besides, by doing this, I can help you attract attention. Dissatisfied?"
"But you at least...well, I don't care about this, just make trouble!" Karkaroff waved his hand altogether, not wanting to say more.
Probably because it has been said in detail before, in the following days, Voldemort did not look for Maca.Because of this, his life in Durmstrang is very comfortable.
Here, there was not much interference, which allowed him to start some follow-up magic research again.
Of course, it is commonplace to make big things that everyone knows from time to time, and even Durmstrang's students and teachers are mostly used to it.
One month's time passed quickly.
Hogwarts, Durmstrang, and Boothbatten, among the three largest magic schools in Europe, students and teachers are all looking forward to seeing more exciting competitions and even participating in them. , For the school to win the honor of champion.
Everyone is discussing fiercely-who will be the warrior of your school?What are the events in the competition?What will the students of the other two schools look like?
This is a grand event jointly organized by the three schools. After many years, it has been opened again!What could be more exciting than this?
In the hope of everyone, the Triwizard Tournament is about to kick off at Hogwarts.
