The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

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

He could even imagine that just a few months ago, a large number of prisoners who were transferred here due to the rebellion of the Dementors and the fall of Azkaban were held here.

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

So it became as clean as it is now!

"Ta!~Ta!~Ta!~..."

Rhythmic footsteps suddenly came from the darkness in the distance.

This sudden change made Draco, who was already very tense, hug Narcissa at once, and he almost couldn't help screaming.

"Oh! Don't panic! That's the dungeon guard!"

Mario shouted into the darkness, "Old Rick, you scared 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. As he spoke, he looked at Snape, Draco and the others.

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

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

"Young master said, we can't keep killing like this. After stabilization, there should always be a prison like Azkaban that is independent of the Ministry of Magic. This can solve many problems. Strange is not a non-essential 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, "Did you see that? This is the master's professor, his own!"

"Ah-"

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

Having said that, old Rick walked into the darkness again without looking back.

The three of Snape also followed Mario's lead.

The group walked for a full quarter of an hour in the empty dungeon corridor, and finally stopped in front of the deepest cell.

Compared with the rest of the cells outside, this cell was more closed, almost the entire cell was buried in the rock wall, with only one iron door with a window erected in front of everyone.

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

Surprisingly, this place is actually very clean, and there are no traces of human existence, and there is no Lucius at all.

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

He kicked something on the ground with his feet, and after a while, a miserable howl sounded 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 that I haven't explained yet, if you kill me, Lord Link Foley will kill you...don't kill me ."

Amidst the miserable howl, a thin figure suddenly emerged from the ground.

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

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

Narcissa's tears flowed down.

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

But she still knew him.

Because that's her husband!

"Lucius! Stop making trouble! Come out!"

Snape also frowned.

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

Lucius screamed when he heard the words, raised his head and looked around for Snape.

And when he saw Snape, Narcissa, and Draco all waiting at the door of the cell, he jumped out of the pit like a spring, and climbed to Snape's feet with both hands and feet, with hands that could almost see bones , hugged Snape's calf tightly, and cried extremely aggrieved:

"You're actually here! Severus! You're really here to save me? They said it, they said you begged the esteemed Lord Link Foley, and I 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 everything in the outside world at the moment, and Snape's calf hurt with both hands.

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

Snape's movements suddenly stagnated, he no longer tried to pull Lucius, but raised the wand of the Fluorescent Blinking Charm that had been lit and began to help Lucius to check.

Only then did Cha Snape discover that Lucius' long platinum-blond hair, which had been well maintained, had now turned completely pale, and was as dry as straw, and his whole body was even more tattered and almost full of black hair. green.

Of course, the most serious thing was his hands.

Those two pampered 'jade hands', who could not even see a callus at the beginning, were now full of bones at the ends of their ten fingers.

Seeing this scene, Narcissa and Draco couldn't hold it anymore, they rushed up and hugged Lucius, crying mournfully.

Snape, on the other hand, looked at Old Rick with a cold face.

"You can't blame me for that," Old Rick said nonchalantly, spitting out spit, "Most of the injuries on his body were caused by himself. Especially those hands, when he was digging holes by himself. worn."

This is total fart!

Snape cursed inwardly, but he also knew that there was no gain in arguing with the jailer right now, he could only suppress his anger and say politely:

"In the end, it's rare to be alive, and we naturally won't blame you."

"Hypocritical!"

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

Lucius Malfoy, male, born in 1954, committed the crime of endangering public safety by a dangerous method with serious consequences.

The death penalty was originally scheduled to be executed immediately.

Of course, the enforcement agency, the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom of China, found out that the criminal Lucius Malfoy had indeed shown repentance and made significant meritorious deeds during his detention, which met the conditions for commutation of his sentence.

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 Commissioner, to commute the sentence of the criminal Lucius Malfoy to death, with a 10-year suspension of execution, and deprivation of Political rights for life! "

"Snapped!"

The parchment rolls were re-folded, and old Rick said expressionlessly:

"Then now, get out of here!"

Having said that, old Rick limped into the darker depths of the dungeon again.

This made both Draco and Narcissa bewildered. They didn't understand the meaning of the sentence just now, so they could only look at Mario invariably.

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

Finally, Snape sighed:

"The ten years of probation and the deprivation of political rights for life means 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. Dare to make any little mistake, waiting for him will be death!"

"In other words," Narcissa said nervously, "as long as he doesn't commit any more 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 a stable and stable manner.

As for other things, she no longer wants extravagantly.

After resting for a while, the group set off and walked out.

Along the way, Lucius' spirit was still somewhat abnormal.

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

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

Obviously, his courage has long been broken.

It was not until Mario sent them out of the Ministry of Magic and returned to Malfoy Manor, after Snape gave him initial treatment, that the familiar illusion around Lucius finally regained consciousness.

And what followed was a new round of more miserable crying.

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

Lucius' injury was far more serious than he expected.

Although there were potions and healing techniques, it still left permanent damage.

Snape preliminarily estimated that Lucius's lifespan should have been affected.

This made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Severus, thank you so much!" Lucius didn't know when to break free from the embrace of his wife and son, and said to Snape with red eyes, "If you hadn't persuaded your respectable Lord Link Foley, I am absolutely doomed this time! I will..."

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

"Lucius, you may still have some dark wounds that I haven't been able to detect. So, tell me the source of your injuries. How did they torture you? It's very helpful for me to discover your dark wounds."

As soon as these words came out, the tears that Narcissa and Draco managed to stop flowed again.

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

When Lucius himself heard the words, it was more like he remembered something extremely terrifying, and his whole person was in a trance.

"It was indeed... a very terrifying torture!" Lucius said tremblingly, "They, don't let me sleep!"

Narcissa: ?

Draco: ?

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

Snape shook his head and said in disbelief.

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

"Dad, you don't have to be afraid anymore. It's safe here. They can't hurt you. You can tell us the truth!"

"But what I said was the truth."

"But... this is not reasonable at all, you obviously have so many injuries on your body!"

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

"How is this possible?"

"It's not impossible, because it's sleep deprivation." Snape said lightly, "I already remembered that similar punishments were carried out in the past when the Dark Lord faced some important prisoners. Strong light, noise, splashing ice water and other means to prevent prisoners from falling asleep.

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

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

Lucius was already huddled together at this time, trembling constantly.

Hearing Snape calling his name, he just nodded in panic.

"Ugh-"

Snape sighed, "That's understandable. Sleep deprivation, mental breakdown, plus Legilimency and Veritaserum, this kind of mental pain will directly lead you to want to relieve yourself by mutilating yourself.

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

Just stay and rest in Malfoy Manor.

Only in this way can the damage you suffer mentally be relieved. "

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

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

When Draco heard the words, he mustered up his courage and said:

"Then why don't we leave the country quickly? 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 interrupted Draco with a sharp shout, "Have you forgotten that your father can't leave the country? You want to kill your father?"

Draco was extremely aggrieved, and said somewhat unconvinced:

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

"Who do you think Link Foley is? Is he guilty of letting your father go and then taking revenge? What's more, your father was only released after he pleaded with Professor Snape. With Professor Snape here, Link Foley How could Lord Lee do that? You are distrusting Professor Snape by saying this!"

Narcissa said with a grim expression.

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 using words to force him.

If Link really took revenge on the Malfoy family later, it would be that Snape betrayed the trust of the Malfoy family.

Narcissa is really a smart woman.

At this moment, Lucius, who had been curled up all the time, suddenly stood up.

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

"How dare you, how dare you call the respected Lord Link Foley by his name? Do you know if you want to add an honorary title? You want to add an honorary title..."

Lucius kept mumbling, his face filled with madness.
