Chapter 153 Shocking News
After the topic suddenly turned to Lupin's letter, everyone seemed to have agreed to stop talking about Lily Evans and James. They listened quietly to James reading Lupin's letter.
"How are you all doing recently? I miss you all so much..." Alaia's thoughts went beyond James's changing voice and went to the professor's seat. She actually saw Lucius Malfoy again.
The feeling of being taken away again was so strong that she couldn't concentrate on listening to Lupin's letter. At the same time, her body subconsciously moved away from Newt beside her, fearing that he would be implicated by her.
Lucius raised his glass across the entire long table to Alayya who was sitting in the student seat. It was obvious that he had been watching her, which made Alayya believe that his target was her.
If that was the case, Riddle was probably impatient to wait. After all, he had just received the letter and he sent Lucius to arrest him.
Alaia found an excuse to get up and leave. She felt that as long as she left this place, Lucius would follow her, but it was difficult for her to get rid of Newt.
"I'll go with you!" Newt immediately grabbed the napkin, wiped his mouth roughly and was about to follow. Alaiya kept an eye on Lucius who also stood up, and glared at Newt for not understanding what she meant at all.
"I didn't wipe it...is it clean?" Newt was stared at by Alaiya and thought there was still something on his mouth, so he lowered his head and wiped it again. Alaiya seized this opportunity and ran out.
But he didn't expect to be grabbed by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Sirius, who almost fell to the ground. "Don't do strenuous exercise after a full meal!"
Sirius remembered the story of Peter running away after dinner to avoid their "training" and ending up with intestinal colic. The pale little face was still fresh in his mind, and he remembered it.
But Alayya was still called away. It was Little Barty who came to tell her that Little Barty had grown a lot taller recently, and his figure had become more upright. Alayya and the others secretly suspected that he had secretly used some contraband or black magic, otherwise how could he be almost taller than Sirius?
He saluted Newt very gracefully, and with a slight arrogance, he leaned forward and said, "Hello, Professor Newt. Mr. Lucius Malfoy, our school director, has something urgent to discuss with Senior Peter, so he asked me to pass on a message."
His words were flawless, his smile was appropriate and he didn't make people feel arrogant. Instead, people would think that he was a favored child of heaven and there was nothing wrong with him.
Newt certainly had no reason to not give face to the school director in front of everyone, but he brought Peter with him personally, and this time he strongly demanded to be allowed to listen in on their conversation. His firm attitude left little Barty speechless.
It's just that when he turns a corner, he will take advantage of Newt's inattention, quietly pass his sleeve across Alaiya's arm, and pull her hand. When she frowns and resists, he will take his hand back and leave Alaiya with a cool back of her head as if nothing happened.
And he never tires of touching her...
It was not until Newt felt that the atmosphere behind him was strange and asked Alayya to move in front of him that Little Barty stopped. However, he kept glaring at the back of Newt's head viciously, and no one knew what he was thinking.
But when he saw Alayya turning around, he could quickly put on a wicked smile and kiss her in the air, which made Alayya very greasy. But facing little Barty's face, it was hard to get angry.
Finally, Lucius and Newt faced off. Lucius originally thought that today's job was an easy one, as he only needed to bring the little ancestor to the Dark Lord, and just like last time, he would get Riddle's reward.
But who could have thought that a Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway and insist on following him. If he were to take him to see the Dark Lord, he would do the math. If he was worthy enough to be bribed by the Dark Lord, then he could get some benefits.
But if he disobeyed, or angered Riddle because of his stupidity, the Malfoy family might be abandoned by the Dark Lord again. Now it seemed that the second situation was more likely.
So Malfoy used a spell to erase Newt's memory and handed him over to Barty Crouch Jr. Barty Crouch carried the dazed Newt without any effort. He just kept his eyes on Alaiya, as if to say, "See? He is very strong..."
Alaia just wanted to make a quick decision. "Is there something you need from me? He should have recovered a long time ago, right?" She was so lively in her dreams these days that she felt a little listless every day and almost fell asleep in class. Fortunately, Sirius helped her cover, James helped her take notes, and Newt helped her ask for leave.
"It seems that you are still not quite clear about what happened... Madam..." If the previous Lucius Malfoy still had some arrogance and scrutiny when facing Alaia, now he knelt down devoutly.
"What Madam? Stop yelling!" Alaia took three steps back after he knelt down. What did he mean by that? Was he going to bind her to Malfoy?
Alaia was speechless, but Malfoy's next words made her eyes go dark and she had difficulty breathing.
"No, you will be soon. You will understand at the engagement party in a few days..." Lucius Malfoy didn't know why Riddle had become a different person after waking up from his coma. He directly ordered him to prepare for the wedding ceremony. He wanted to marry that woman now!
But Lucius hadn't figured out Riddle's intention yet, and he didn't dare to act rashly. He could only persuade him to hold an engagement party first, and carefully wait for his desire to become stronger before making plans. But now it seems that the master is very serious, and he miscalculated. If he had known earlier, he would have tried to curry favor with her sooner!
"What did you say? Engagement party? Me and Reed... Me and that Lord? Don't be ridiculous!" Alaia didn't know how Lucius could have the nerve to say that. She and the Dark Lord? Why didn't he give Narcissa to Riddle? Let her come as a young girl...
Lucius Malfoy saw the reluctance and hostility on the girl's face. He used the most sincere tone and pleading eyes. He was always good at saying, "I know you are resistant, but think about your friends, your professors... and your life. Their fate is in your hands, including me~"
After hearing Lucius's "heartfelt words", Alaia calmed down a lot. Malfoy was right. She should have expected that Riddle would be so possessive of her, but she didn't expect that he would want to marry her. Did he know what marriage was? This was incredible...
