Vol 2 Chapter 397: Draco Malfoy's Secret

　　 "Is that something?" After listening to Jon's brief introduction, Principal Phineas-Black said lazily: "Then I'll leave, I'll tell Dumbledore!"
　　 Although the other party's attitude seemed a bit cynical, Jon knew very well that the old Hogwarts principal from Slytherin was quite reliable.
　　 "Thank you..."
　　 Phineas Black didn’t seem to be eager to leave, but made a very casual expression, adding:
By the way, for the sake of your politeness, I’ll tell you another message...

"...The latest news, in a small wooden house in eastern Siberia, Russian wizards found the body of Igor Karkarov, with the Dark Mark hanging in the sky—" Phineas curled his lips: "Frankly. In terms of how long he can escape, it surprised me!"
　　 Karkaroff is dead?
　　 This is not surprising news. After all, when the mysterious man lost power, Igor Karkaroff sold out all the Death Eaters he knew in order to clear his guilt.
　　 Compared to the plot of the original, Karkaroff’s death seems to be a few months later, and this is entirely reasonable to explain...
　　 Just as Jon frowned and guessed, only Phineas' voice was heard again: "Dumbledore thought that Tom Riddle personally participated in the hunt for Igor Karkaroff..."
　　 Voldemort himself participated in the hunt for Karkaroff? New 81 Chinese website update the fastest mobile terminal: https:/
Jon couldn’t help but his expression was lifted... If Voldemort was in remote Siberia during this time, it would not be so easy for him to get back to the UK in time; moreover, it also meant that he had to act on the Isle of Man as soon as possible. ! Starting
　　 Just about to say thanks to Principal Phineas Black, Jon looked up and found that the figure in the portrait had disappeared.
　　 "Did you just talk to you?" At this moment, Astoria Greengrass walked into the room with a smile.
Since leaving Greengrass Manor, her mood seems to have come out of the shadow of her mother being caught in Azkaban, her face restored to the once pure smile; if it were not for her pale face, she was almost as usual. Nothing unusual.
　　 "No!" Jon denied, and glanced at the empty portrait on the wall.
　　 Then he motioned to Astoria to come over and sit on the bed, and at the same time suggested: "It's getting late, or you can take a good rest... tomorrow morning we will go to the beach in Port Douglas to play!"
　　 Astoria nodded obediently.
　　 After a moment of silence, she asked softly, "What about you, Jon...You look like you are going out?"
　　 "That's right!" Jon replied: "I'll go out and stroll around, stay in the room and don't move around..."
　　 "Then...then be careful..." Astoria lowered her head and muttered.
　　 "Definitely!" Jon smiled, then took out a crystal bottle from his pocket, filled with the "smoke potion" he had prepared before.
　　 At the same time, Jon exhorted: "If you encounter any trouble, break this bottle, I will come back immediately after seeing the smoke... Be careful, don't use any magic!"
　　 Astoria is a minor wizard after all, and she is not like herself, her traces have disappeared... If she uses any magic outside of school, she is likely to reveal her position and even her intentions.
　　 So Jon had to tell her like this.
　　 "I understand..." Astoria whispered.
　　 After setting up Astoria, Jon walked out of the hotel alone, while observing the surroundings seemingly casually... he was looking for signs of magic.
　　If all goes well, it would be great to find the giants before Voldemort returns to England!

　　Meanwhile, at Hogwarts.
　　 The cool air was blowing at night, and Draco Malfoy walked carefully on a cobblestone-paved road, keeping his steps as light as possible along the way.
　　 The end of this path is the junction of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade...
　　 After the Dark Lord officially announced his return, Hogwarts' defenses became tighter...At least ten Aurors guarded the campus's various exits, including Hogsmeade, of course.
　　 Malfoy was not prepared to slip out of the campus in the dark, because he knew it was impossible... he couldn't fool Albus Dumbledore's magic, and he couldn't avoid the guard Aurors.
　　 paced vigilantly on the cobblestone path, his real purpose is actually to wait for someone!
　　 Even in such an emergency, there are people who can walk freely between Hogwarts and Hogsmeade... That is Mrs. Rosemerta, the hostess of the Three Broomsticks.
She is responsible for providing the butterbeer, mead and rum required by the students and teachers on campus... This charming and well-connected proprietress, whether with Filch, the professors or the Aurors The relationship is very good; generally speaking, she won't face any difficulties when entering campus.
　　 And the Three Broomsticks Bar has a long history with the Malfoy family... So as early as the summer vacation, Draco Malfoy looked for an opportunity to use the "Imperial Curse" on Mrs. Rosmerta.
　　 But after using the spell, Malfoy did not give her any instructions so that she would not show anything unusual.

　　 Time passed by one minute after another~EbookFREE.me~ Malfoy also became a little impatient, he even began to wonder if there was any deviation in his plan?
　　 Finally... he saw the graceful figure of a middle-aged woman who appeared from the end of the path.
　　 Malfoy did not rush forward, but carefully looked around, and found that there was no accident before he walked up to her—
　　 "Master Draco..." Mrs. Rosmerta said with blank eyes and a blank expression: "The oak-aged mead you want me to bring is from Grunwald and is of high quality."
　　 Malfoy took the bottle, looked at it carefully, and then nodded.
　　 Then, he carefully took out a package from his backpack, which contained a gorgeous opal necklace.
　　 "Tomorrow when the Hogwarts students go to Hogsmeade, give it to a student and ask him to bring it to Principal Albus Dumbledore!" Malfoy said softly.
　　 Mrs. Rosmerta nodded dumbly.
　　 Then, she stiffly tried to reach her hand into the package, ready to take the opal necklace
　　 "Don't touch it!" Malfoy quickly yelled, "Don't touch it... I mean, I forbid you to touch it!"
　　 Mrs. Rosmerta nodded dumbly again.
　　……
　　 Draco Malfoy was relieved to see Mrs. Rosmerta going away.
　　 Lifting the bottle of top-grade mead, he also began to tiptoe back to Hogwarts Castle.
