Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"I see. I believe you will take us away." Rodofs thought for a while. "Can I make a request?"

After getting the person's approval, Rodolphs continued: "Who are you? Your voice sounds familiar."

He thought that this person would not answer, but he did not expect that his hand simply grabbed the brim of the hood and took it off, revealing a familiar face. Rodolphs stiffened. He did not forget a few months ago. , It was the owner of this face who let them be imprisoned in Azkaban, this is the face of the enemy.But at this time, the temperament mixed on that face seemed to have recombined the facial features, evoking the memory of Rudolphs' sleep. He stared at the woman in surprise and suspiciousness, as if seeing the body talking to himself.

"Remember? It's good to save me the trouble of talking." The memory flooded, and unlike his wife, Rodolphs had no ill feelings towards Max, "This is not a good place for a tea party, we should go now. "

Chapter 65 Admission (Part 1)

"It's impossible, you're dead!" Rodolphs stepped back and shouted vigilantly, "I can't believe an undead, especially the guy with the same face who threw me into Azkaban before. !"

"Yes, I'm dead." Zoe looked directly into the man's eyes, but acted nonchalantly, "but that's not important, Rudolphs.'Death cannot conquer the strong.'" She could feel Rudolphs. But she knew he would figure out that Max was as mysterious as Voldemort in the eyes of many Death Eaters. Since Voldemort can come back from the dead, it means there is a way.

"No matter who she is, we have to leave here and return to the master." Nott whispered, "Since she let us out, it means that we are still useful to her." Crabbe nodded and agreed, they just wanted to leave quickly.

"Remind, gentlemen, you can pull a picnic cloth and sit down at will, but there is still an hour, which is the regular contact time of these Aurors, and the gentlemen who fell on the ground can't perform their duties." Zoe After speaking, he turned and left. Soon, three messy footsteps sounded behind him.

As soon as the four people left the main entrance, the cold rain hit them, and the rain became stronger, and the three of them crowded into the boat."Did you not kill them?" Rodolphs kept frowning. He was injured. He just broke free of Crabbe's arm and sat down against the ship's side.

Zoe knew he was still skeptical: "Suffice it if it hurts, Rudolphs, no one here will help you heal." She shook her wand, and the rope tied to the boat broke in two, even with the storm. It looked like it could overturn a hundred such boats, but it still returned to the waves.

"Answer my question..." Rudolphs' eyes suddenly widened, almost out of their sockets, and fell motionless on the deck.

"Is there anyone else who has a problem?" Zoe smiled and scanned the remaining two people. They subconsciously wanted to jump over, but they were afraid of the magic wand in her hand and did not dare to move, "Relax, you two, Don't be so nervous. After you get ashore, find a tavern to warm yourself up, or do you want to find Tom in a hurry?"

"...What do you want to do, uh, husband, madam?" Nott asked cautiously. He was much smoother than Rudolphs. He knew how to put himself in the right position. It was obvious to them to anger the people in front of them. There is no benefit.

"Didn't I say it?" Zoe said lightly. "Of course I went to visit my old friend's house."

**********

Several people suddenly appeared on the deserted country road.This is a strange combination. Three of them look no different from homeless people. The last person is incompatible with these three in terms of gender, age, clothing, or demeanor.

They walked along the trail, and they were quickly blocked by two majestic wrought iron gates.The headed Rodolphs moved his left arm unconsciously, and the dark mark imprinted on it was the pass.He didn't move, waited silently for Zoe to come forward, knocked on the iron door with his magic wand, and the curling pattern on the iron door creaked into a terrifying face.

"Say the purpose of the visit." The metal voice was sonorous and powerful.

"Max Siegel, come and meet old friends." Zoe made his voice sound more casual.

The face was silent for a long time."Wait here, the master will come over at once." After saying this, the door returned to its original appearance again.Rodolphs looked at Zoe: "Although it is not clear how you knew this is the base camp, as long as you dare to step in, you can't help but pretend to be a dead person."

"This is not a question you should worry about. Look, there are people who care more about the answer than you." Zoe pointed to the spacious driveway behind the wrought iron gate. At this time, six or seven people were striding here.The only reason that can unite these guys is the one who walks in the front, Lucius is behind, but still very conspicuous, his face looks shocked.

Voldemort stopped in front of the door, only one door away from Zoe, scanning the group of people back and forth with his cold gaze.

"Rodolphs, what happened?" He left Zoe and asked Rodolphs beside her, showing no other emotions about seeing the faithful servant again.

"The Auror stationed in Azkaban was attacked by this man. She called herself Max and brought the three of us out." Rodolphs bowed respectfully to his master, and the remaining two hurriedly saluted. There is a humble smile on it.

"Lucius, open the door." Voldemort said to Lucius coldly without looking at Zoe. "Then take her to the living room."

"Master, but..." Lucius lowered his voice, he hadn't come out of his inner confusion.

"You heard my order, Lucius." Voldemort looked at him calmly. Lucius couldn't know his true emotions. "Don't let me repeat it a second time." Lucius lowered his head deeply. .

Zoe felt countless suspicious and hostile sights from the crowd in front of them, but the strongest among them was Bellatrix. She looked like she was going to take Zoe alive. Just give her this opportunity. Will kill himself without hesitation.Zoe also noticed Snape in the crowd, he just glanced at her lightly, then looked away.

Bellatrix hated Zoe one last time, and chased Voldemort away without looking back.Lucius opened the door in silence, and Narcissa followed her husband, her expression complicated."Crabbe, Nott, take Rodolphes back to the house, you need to rest." Lucius pointed to the distance, and the outline of a decent mansion could be vaguely seen.

"Zoe, you leave quickly." When there were only three people left, Lucius clutched Zoe's shoulder with a pale face, "Quick, go! This is not where you should be!"

Zoe tapped the back of Lucius's hand with his wand, and he withdrew his hand abruptly, as if by the last second he was still holding a hot thing in his hand."Don't you welcome me to sit at your house, Lucius?" The girl's voice was returning to Lucius's memory with a distorted sense of familiarity. She hadn't seen each other for a year or two, the one he had seen growing up. The child has become someone else, "Or do you think Tom will tolerate you doing this?"

Lucius occasionally imagined a future in which Max did not die, but never had it been like this. When the wish was truly realized, the first thing he felt was not a surprise, but a deep coldness.

**********

The Malfoy family has always cared about decency. After Lucius took charge, he completely renovated the family castle and furnished the mansion very luxuriously.There are luxurious carpets on the floor from the entrance hall to the living room. Only a few candles on the wall release light and heat. Under the dim light, the portraits hanging on both sides of the walls are ghostly, which is different from the portraits of Siegel’s old house. The portraits really seem to be "dead", they rarely talk, just silently stare at the visitors.

"Tom's taste really hasn't changed." Zoe joked. "Every day, people step on this carpet. Don't you feel angry, Cissy?" She smiled at the quiet woman, "I I remember you liked it a lot, and I chose it for a long time."

Compared with Lucius's vacillation, Narcissa's expression was much colder and calmer."Zoe, is she dead?" As Death Eaters, the couple can detect the truth faster than ordinary people. "Or we were deceived by you from the beginning. You didn't die at all."

Zoe smiled, but didn't answer.She naturally seemed to be walking in her own home, turning the bronze handle on the wooden door, squeaking, and the wooden door opened to the sides, revealing the spacious living room. A long and well-decorated table was left. A dozen benches lined up on the side of the table, and several of them were already sitting on them.

Voldemort was sitting in the first seat, his pale hands on his chin, his blood-red pupils almost narrowed."I'm back, Tom." Zoe said calmly.

"Then I'll buy you a drink." A goblet filled with wine floated to Zoe's hand, Voldemort's eyes seemed to test whether she respected him enough.

"Respect you." Zoe pinched the neck of the cup and raised the cup to Voldemort. The noisy whispers became faint, and Voldemort nodded in satisfaction.Under everyone's attention, Zoe let go of his hand without hesitation, and after a crisp cracking sound, "I won't drink the wine." Mixed surprised and dissatisfied eyes cast from all directions, as if to swallow her , The Death Eaters couldn't believe that anyone would dare to insult him in front of the Dark Lord, and for a while they forgot to suppress the discussion.

Bellatrix was furious with offended dignity. She simply drew out her wand, pointed at Zoe’s face and began to chant a syllable, and Voldemort’s bloodless hand pressed the wand. .He ignored Bellatrix’s question, “Sit down, Max, find a place for yourself, and relive the past by the way.” He waved his hand casually and motioned to the smiling girl to find an empty spot.

Chapter 66 Admission (Part 2)

Zoe ignored the sight of the Death Eaters who had been sticking to her body since just now, her palms were slightly sweaty, and she was careful not to show herself an expression that would arouse others' suspicion.She is good at disguising. Since she was a child, no matter how much dissatisfaction, fear and hatred she has in her heart, she must be obedient and harmless. Lies have never been a strange word to her.

But this is a life-saving gamble that can be called a once-in-a-lifetime bet. Zoe can’t afford to lose. There is no escape or escape. On both sides of the one-way road is an abyss. There is only one direction to choose. Without reinforcements, Snape belongs His own task, all that is left is to make a way out with the cards in his hand.

"I didn't think you would come back." Voldemort looked at her carefully. "You have never been interested in our business."

"Until now, I don't think what you have done is meaningful." Zoe's answer confused the surrounding discussion for a while, "I'm just tired of playing the hypocritical self. At least in your place, no one will ask me. Be an honor student. You provide me with a place to live, and I help you solve problems."

"Just like in the past." As soon as Voldemort's voice fell, Bellatrix stood up unbearably and stared at her fiercely as if he was about to swallow Zoe.

"Master, she's lying!" Bellatrix was almost screaming, "I can recognize the faces of those lie guys. This guy is lying. She wants to deceive you. Pretending to be your allegiance on the surface, but secretly for another purpose!"

There was an uproar in the living room. Since Zoe entered Malfoy Manor, there have been no few people who have strongly doubted her motives.A fortress is more likely to be captured from the inside than from the outside, and spies and traitors have always been the top priority of defense.In the last war, it was Peter Pettigrew's rebellion that led to the death of the Potters.

The Death Eaters used the Imperius Curse to place chess pieces in the enemy camp, and they were more vigilant against spies.They would never trust new people easily, even if Max was a former companion, but before that she was a dead person who had disappeared for more than ten years.Not to mention that the dead man now actively asked to join their team, making people have to doubt the strangeness.

"Oh? You think she's lying?" Voldemort was neither angry, nor did Bellatrix shut his mouth, and repeated happily as if provoked. "Tell me to see your guess."

"I saw her a year ago, in Azkaban. She looks almost exactly the same as her despicable mother!" Bellatrix exclaimed fiercely, "Cissy! Lucius! I know you are most familiar with the small wild species that Max gave birth to, this guy, isn't it?"

The two people who were questioned couldn't answer immediately. They knew Bellatrix's intentions, but they couldn't stop it.Bellatrix urged again and again, she stared at her sister reproachfully, because she did not stand aside with her immediately, but tried to shelter the annoying Siegel.

"Is that so, Lucius?" Voldemort asked lazily. Lucius paled and nodded slowly.

"Why frighten him, Tom? You know it all because we did it together." Zoe's mouth curled up slightly, and Bellatrix narrowed his eyes after hearing this. stand up.

"Bellatrix, if this is your alleged accusation, I advise you to give up early." Zoe said contemptuously, but Bellatrix quickly calmed down."This is not an accusation, Siegel, this is a fact. There is no evidence that you are the real Max, or just a fake, Dumbledore, intending to use this face to mix with us and sell the information. To the Order of the Phoenix!" Many people agree with her statement.

Zoe's heart jumped and she subconsciously wanted to refute, but she quickly held back.Even if Bellatrix pretended to be a passionate and decent defender, she could not step into this trap, and could not follow Bellatrix's pace.This is not a trial by the Ministry of Magic, and these dark wizards do not demand evidence for decency.The judge and judge in this "trial" can only be Voldemort, and only when Voldemort accepts her identity can she successfully pass this level.

"Why, there is nothing to say?" Bellatrix smiled sullenly, mocking Zoe's weakness, "You admit that you are just a stupid kid who has been dazzled by feats and honors, thinking you can Mix into the pack of wolves with a half-shocked disguise!"

Slow down, slow down, to appear indifferent, now is not the time.Zoe stared directly at Bellatrix's malicious eyes, as if watching an ignorant joke.She knew that her attitude would further anger the other person, but Max would not care about it.
