Hogwarts: Undercover Death Eater Replaces the Dark Lord

That was why Lucius mentioned the Chamber of Secrets to Draco during the summer vacation.

"My father won't tell me the details of the last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened. Of course, that was fifty years ago, and he wasn't even born yet, but he knows everything..."

Draco continued, "He said everything was kept secret. If I knew too much, it would seem suspicious... I don't understand how it would seem suspicious. I don't even know what's in the Chamber of Secrets!"

"Maybe the secret room will be opened soon?" Lycos said casually.

If Hogwarts had continued to progress uneventfully without any incidents, others might not have noticed anything unusual, but Lucius Malfoy would have surely noticed something was wrong.

How could it be possible that the important things left behind by Voldemort were completely useless?

If Voldemort is really resurrected and asks Lucius about the diary... maybe this unusual calmness will make Voldemort discover the suspicion of Lucius.

It seems we can't delay this any longer, Lycos thought.

Although he didn't intend for the basilisk to launch any terrorist attacks, it was okay to make some weird moves.

It's a pity that he hasn't learned how to pronounce Parseltongue from Riddle... But imitating the big snake in this way can at least reduce some of the doubts raised by Voldemort.

So, after class, Lecos chose a corner of the corridor where there were few people and recalled the handwriting he had seen in the original plot.

The original declaration of war was a bit awkward to read, and Lycos was a little bit unable to say it, so he slightly changed those two sentences -

The secret chamber has been opened. The impure bloodline will be completely purged.

"Are you satisfied?"

Lycos wrote in Riddle's journal.

Soon, the reply appeared on the yellowed pages of the diary:

"Without a sacrifice, this declaration would be a joke."

"It's okay. Even if it's treated as a joke, it's only temporary," Lycos continued. "When the sacrifices you mentioned appear one after another, the original joke will become a nightmare they will never be able to erase in their lifetime."

"All you have to do is teach me Parseltongue as quickly as possible... and leave the rest of the operation to me."

……

"This has to be a prank, right?"

A group of young wizards were standing in the corridor at the corner of the second floor, talking in a flurry.

On a wall right in front of them, two lines of writing shone brightly, gleaming faintly in the light of the burning torches.

"Could it be Fred and George who did it?" Someone made a guess, which was quickly recognized by many young wizards. "Only the two of them would do such a scary prank."

"nonsense!"

Fred and George arrived at the scene at some point.

"This prank is completely unoriginal. How could we possibly pull off something so tasteless?" Fred said righteously. "Who can be scared by just writing two lines of words?"

"Yeah, if we're in the mood for this kind of thing, we might as well invent a few more interesting gadgets." George also took over the conversation. "Fred and I have already planned to open a joke shop together after graduation..."

The twins chatted back and forth... as if the students around them were air, not treating them as human beings at all.

Percy, the prefect, had just finished his routine inspection when he discovered a large group of young wizards gathered in a secluded corner of the corridor on the second floor.

"Have you two had enough fun?" Percy shouted at Fred and George. "Wipe that stuff off the wall now, and stop embarrassing Gryffindor!"

"Percy, you don't believe us?" Fred said in grief, "We are your brothers!"

"I'd rather not have you two brothers." Percy said expressionlessly, "Aren't you going to wipe it off? Five points from Gryffindor..."

"Okay, okay, don't deduct points. Can't we just wipe it?"

Before Percy could finish his words about deducting points, Fred and George finally spread their hands and decided to take the blame on their shoulders for the time being.

It just so happens that this kind of prank can also help them gain fame and prevent someone from coming out in the end who has never heard of such a thing as a prank...

Fred and George faced the wall. One of them was using a water-making spell to clean the wall, while the other was using a spell like a cleaning spell to continuously remove the writing...

However, even with their tacit cooperation, the words on the wall did not fade in the slightest.

"What is this thing...why can't I clean it up?" Fred said breathlessly after casting countless cleaning spells.

"Something's wrong, very wrong." George also gasped and shook his head heavily. "I suddenly doubt whether this is true."

"What are you two doing?" Percy walked up to the wall in disbelief and cast a cleaning spell at it: "Scourgify!"

Nothing happened.

"How come?" Percy was stunned.

Then, he tried his best, using almost every cleaning spell he knew, but just like Fred and George's magic, it had no effect...

At the end of the crowd, Lycos hid behind a group of little wizards who were watching the fun, watching the scene quietly.

Of course, this kind of handwriting cannot be erased, which can be regarded as a threat to the hearts of young wizards... A declaration that can be easily erased is guaranteed to be forgotten the next day and can only serve as a topic of conversation after dinner.

In the original book, Tom Riddle used Ginny's magic to cast a permanent sticking spell on the words on the wall to prevent them from being removed.

Of course, Lycos didn't know this kind of advanced spell, and he didn't want to be possessed and controlled by Riddle, so he could only use his own stupid method... He wrapped the flames of the fire shield around his wand and burned those words on the wall.

Traces left by powerful black magic were usually difficult to erase, let alone words written with a flame of the same level as Liehuo...

At this moment, an excited voice sounded from one side of the crowd:

"Harry Potter, you can definitely pull off this prank!"

Lycos turned his head and saw a very thin little boy with gray hair. He was holding a Muggle camera in his hand and looking excitedly at Harry Potter who was nervously looking at the words on the wall in the crowd.

Everyone's attention was focused on Harry.

They also wanted to know whether the famous savior was really as good as portrayed in the newspapers.

"No, I can't." Harry pursed his lips tightly. "You'd better shut up, Creevey."

This very thin, gray-haired little wizard is named Colin Creevey. He is a first-year student of Muggle origin. Ever since he got to know the wizarding world, he has become a loyal fan of Harry Potter...or rather, a die-hard fan.

He seemed to have Harry's entire timetable memorized.

It seemed to Colin that the most exciting thing in the world was to say "Hello, Harry?" six or seven times a day and hear "Hello, Colin," no matter how helpless and annoyed Harry's tone of voice might be.

"You must be being modest, aren't you?" Colin asked unwillingly. He secretly raised his camera and seemed to be planning to take a picture of Harry standing among the crowd.

"I really can't!" Harry was a little annoyed. "Can you please stop pestering me all day? I'm really not as good as you think!"

"But you were able to defeat the mysterious man... I believe you haven't yet unleashed the power within you." Colin Creevey said as a matter of course, "When you can truly control your own power, you will definitely be more powerful than the mysterious man!"

Lycos stood at the end of the line, watching them with interest.

At this moment, a transparent pearly white figure suddenly appeared in the corner of his eye——

The figure was very short, his expression was very gloomy, his ears were pointed, and his long fingers kept shaking, as if he was counting money non-stop.

This is a goblin, and he is called Mean Miserbo.

Lycos's attention was quickly drawn to the area, and he stared closely at Miseb's twitching fingers.

Was this really the Morse code he had guessed?

Unfortunately, just by watching, Lycos had no way of seeing what was happening with his hands.

The next moment, a flash of white illuminated the entire corridor for a moment.

Lycos turned around subconsciously and found that it was Colin Creevey who secretly took a picture of Harry, which made Harry very angry.

Looking at this scene, Lycos' eyes suddenly lit up.

……

Chapter 143 Magic Photo

"Can you lend me your camera?"

Lycos walked up to Colin Creevey and asked in a light tone.

"Um...are you Slytherin students also interested in things in the Muggle world?" Colin Creevey asked subconsciously, "I thought you would support what's written on the wall..."

His tone dropped.

"I've just been studying magic photos recently, and I wanted to try the feeling of making a magic photo myself." Lycos said, and his ability to make up nonsense seemed to be getting more and more proficient.

"Actually, it's not that complicated. All you need to do is sprinkle some specific potions on the Muggle's camera and photos... If you're interested, I can bring you some potions."

"Don't you want to turn the photos you took with so much effort into magical photos that move and interact with people?"

Lycos looked into Colin Creevey's eyes and spoke in a persuasive manner.

Although Colin Creevey is best known for being a die-hard fan of Harry Potter, as a young wizard who always has a camera in his hand, he is obviously also a loyal lover of photography.

In the 90s when video recording was not well developed, if there was a way to turn ordinary photos into dynamic images, it would be hard for photographers who love photography to resist.

Colin Creevey is no exception.

"Are you serious?" he shouted at Lycos, jumping up excitedly.

"Of course, I don't have to lie to you." Lycos shrugged.

Colin thought for a moment, took the camera off his neck and handed it to Lekos.

"You...you must keep it well. This is the only camera I have at Hogwarts." He whispered, "And...don't forget to give me some potion to make the photos move after you use it."

"no problem."

Lycos took the camera and a happy smile appeared on his lips.

He raised the camera very skillfully and pressed his hand on the shutter button, so skillfully that it seemed as if it was not his first time using a Muggle camera.

"Potter, smile and let me try this new toy." Lycos called Harry in the crowd.

"Don't smile like that, your expression is too stiff...Don't let your hands hang in the air, put them in a more natural way...Great, that's it!"

He was saying these words of advice to Harry Potter, but his actions showed no regard for Harry at all...Through Harry's stiff smile, the camera captured the goblin ghost in the distance very clearly.

Although ghosts cannot be captured by Muggle cameras, when the revealing potion is sprinkled on the film, not only will the photo move, but the ghost in it will also appear at the same time...

Lycos put the camera away.

As for whether the twitching of the mean Miserbo's fingers is sending Morse code, it depends on what happens in the magic photo!

At this moment, Dumbledore arrived at the scene, followed by many other professors... It seemed that the noisy scene here also attracted the attention of the professors.

"So many years have passed, and there are still people obsessed with the Chamber of Secrets?" Professor Kettleburn, who only had one and a half limbs left, looked a little heavy.
