Chapter 224: Everyone Is Important (1/2)
A beautiful woman dressed in blood-red robes entered a dimly lit and sumptuously decorated room. Her oval face, big dark eyes and sandy hair made her look more gorgeous but her hands were not normal; she had a silver hand.
”Master!” The woman bowed looking at the armchair in front of the fireplace.
She was facing the armchair's back.
”Stormy!” exclaimed a man's happy voice from the chair.
”How are you feeling, now?” The woman, Stormy asked seriously.
”A lot well than before,” said the man and turned his armchair slightly so he can see Stormy.
The man was almost bald with a few white hairs, his skin looked like crumpled thin paper and the only prominent feature in his face was his pather-like-yellow eyes. Otherwise, he looked like a dead body.
”That's great, master,” Stormy said then stepped forward a little bit and waved her wand. ”I did as you ask me to. The dark lord has finally given me the authority to investigate the Azkaban problem. No one of his followers could found why the Dementors are not coming to the dark lord's side.”
”I hoped that much,” Malgino smiled. ”Now, you will reveal the big secret of our teenage friend, as planned.”
”Yes master,” Stormy nodded.
”But remember —” Malgino's face turned serious. ”Do not forget, at any cost, my friend should not know how much our presence had changed his future — how much we have changed his plans. He only should know the benefits of us — not the side effects.”
”I remember, master,” replied Stormy earnestly. ”Anything else?”
”Yes, take out the body,” Malgino pointed at the floor. ”And give it to my creatures or Nagini, whoever you want.”
Stormy looked down and saw on the dark floor there was man's body in a corner, surrounded by different signs and runes. Stormy nodded and waved her wand. The body floated in the air and Stormy saw a particular rune sign where the body was lying.
A straight line, the upper end was bent downwards and the lower end of the line was bent upwards. It was the death sign.
”Mr. Nott is not happy about these, master,” said Stormy pointing at the body.
Amusement flickered across Malgino's pale face.
”If I didn't know better than I would have thought that you made a joke,” laughed Malgino. ”Speaking of Nott, how is his son doing? I didn't see him. He didn't come home for Christmas, did he?”
Stormy looked like she strained herself from rolling her eyes.

”He didn't, master, and I think you know the reason. He is afraid that we will drag him into this, especially when his house had become our headquarter. He doesn't want to participate.”
”Weak souls,” mused Malgino. ”This is why I never liked those Slytherins, always thinking about saving their necks. Useless.”
”But they are also important, are they not?” Stormy confessed. ”Specifically when the mud-blood Norton is connected to them.”
”Yes Stormy, that's my regret,” Malgino said. ”Everyone is important. . . Anyways, what about the master plan of my friend? Did he get any new plans to get that Prophecy?”
”Even after your advice, he is restless,” Stormy hesitated just for a moment. ”He had planned after his loyal followers break out from Azkaban, he will attack the Ministry with your army.”
”Don't worry,” Malgino smiled. ”That is not going to happen until our wonderful Dumbledore is dead. Not even with my entire army. My friend will soon realise it. Life lesson, Stormy, do not underestimate your enemies, not even when your enemy is a fourteen years old little girl.”
