Chapter 248

Under the night, is the dark world.

In the shadow of stars and bright moon, dangerous forces are gradually gathering.

The fear of the unknown is in the hands of the Dark Lord.

Just a few miles from Hogwarts castle, under a cliff, there is a wizard village much smaller than Hogsmeade village.

In this village, only five families live next to each other.

Here, they opened up several pastures and fields and lived a self-sufficient freehand life. Although generations have lived here, there are not many future generations, so the number of residents here has not increased much.

But I have been here for a long time, but I have also circled a large cemetery for the burial of my ancestors.

Tonight, however, a group of dangerous elements covering their heads and faces appeared in this small village, which has been idle all year round. The leader was a handsome young man.

"... master, the werewolf has completely lost contact and can't find any."

In that cemetery, the most central members sat around, bowed respectfully to the young man in the circle, and reported the recent news one by one.

They have just completely destroyed the five ordinary wizard families in the village. Under the effect of the spell, it was an invisible massacre.

At this moment, you can still see from here that the lights in several houses opposite the cemetery have been extinguished. The original warm family, but now there is only a strong smell of death.

In the periphery of those central members, dozens of ordinary wizard members wearing cloaks are gathering together, silently waiting for the arrival of orders.

Further away, there are even a few non wizard members wandering aimlessly, such as those clumsy monsters, or... A huge snake.

"Werewolves don't have to take care of it. Those guys are as unreliable as vampires..." the young man said calmly, "today's action is very important. We are not allowed to fail again - remember, what we have to do is temptation!"

"... be careful, okay?"

"Yes!" the crowd answered in unison.

The young man nodded slightly, and then turned his eyes to the starry sky above his head.

"Next, just wait for the news..."

"Master, we are eager to know..." at this time, a low voice suddenly asked, "please tell us... How did you complete this... This miracle... Come back to us..."

"Ah, it's a long story, Lucius," said the young man with a smile. "The beginning - and the end of the story is about two boys - one of whom is still our 'ally'

He walked lazily to the periphery, the eyes of the whole circle fell on him, and the big snake slowly climbed to his side.

"Of course you know. They say Harry Potter is my nemesis, don't they?"

The handsome young man whispered, his eyes burning black flame seemed to have insight into everyone's heart here, and the black devil marks on everyone were beating like a fire, which almost made them scream.

"As you all know, on the night I lost my magic and body, I wanted to kill him. His mother died to save him - inadvertently gave him some protection, and I admit I didn't expect it... I can't touch the boy."

The young man stretched out a slender and pale finger, and the cold fingertip brushed from his temples, and a strange breath immediately rushed to his face.

The young man chuckled, put down his fingers and continued to tell the members around him.

"My friends, I admit I lost my count. My spell was blocked by the woman's foolish sacrifice and bounced back to myself. Ah... The pain is more than everything, my friends, nothing can resist it. I was stripped of my body, which is worse than a ghost and the most humble wandering soul..."

"But I'm still alive! I don't know what I am until now... I, who has gone farther than anyone on the road to longevity. You know my goal - to conquer death. Now I've been tested, and it seems that at least one or two of my experiments have worked... Because I'm not dead, although the spell is fatal. However, I'm like the weakest creature I am powerless and can't help myself... I have no body, and every spell that can help me needs to use a magic wand... "

"I remember that day and night when I couldn't close my eyes, I just forced myself to live again and again... I hid in a distant forest and waited... My loyal death eaters will find a way to find me... Someone will return me with a flesh body with a magic I can't use... But I waited in vain..."

The circle of members shivered again.

The youth let the terror escalate in silence, and then continued: "I have only one magic left, I can attach to others. But I dare not go to places with many people, because I know Auror is still looking for me everywhere."

"I sometimes attach to animals - snakes are certainly my favorite - but they are not much better than pure ghosts because their bodies are not suitable for magic... And my attachment shortens their life. They don't live long..."

"Then... Four years ago... My resurrection seemed to have hope. A young, stupid and gullible wizard walked into the forest where I settled and was hit by me."

"... Oh, that seems to be my dream opportunity... Because he is a teacher in Dumbledore's school... He is easily manipulated by me... He brought me back to this country. Later, I attached myself to him, closely monitored him and guided him to carry out my orders. But my plan failed. I didn't steal the magic stone and couldn't guarantee immortality. I was frustrated... This time But he was defeated by another boy! It was almost! "

There was another silence. There was no movement. Even the yew leaves on the edge of the cemetery were still. The members did not move, and the shining eyes on their masks stared at the young man, as if they were thinking about something.

"The servant... Left Hogwarts with my will," continued the young man. "I returned to the distant hiding place, and then the servant died... But I gained more strength!"

"Believe me, it's not easy... Yes, it may be my darkest period - there are no death eaters, none. I have to rely on myself."

One or two wizards in the circle moved uneasily, but the young man ignored them.

"Then, less than a year ago, when I almost gave up hope, hope finally appeared... A servant found me."

"... that's Wormtail. He pretended to die and escaped the trial. He was chased by people he used to see as friends and had nowhere to hide, so he decided to go back to his master. He sought me in the country where people have long said that I was hiding... And helped me successfully master my present power."

He said, reaching as like as two peas of a black spirit, it was like a black flame burning in the same way as the two shadows in his pupil.

The black flame is like it can devour light. It is as dark as ink, which makes people palpitate.

"But it's a pity that he finally died - in the hands of our current 'ally'. Do you think it's interesting?"

The young man showed a terrible smile, and his eyes became empty and indifferent.

"I know... Yes, I understand... You must be wondering why I have to cooperate with that McClane since he has been against me..."

"In fact, I can tell you!" he snorted and smiled, "because I know very well that his idea is very different from that hypocritical old man Dumbledore! He can understand the meaning of the existence of black magic, and he is also obsessed with it! Intoxicated with it!"

At this point, he smiled evil, with a calm enthusiasm in his smile.

"... about magic, he can't really deny it if he says he denies it!"

……

Meanwhile, in Hogwarts castle, several "students" with abnormal behavior are making eye contact with each other.

Although they haven't taken any rash actions yet, they are waiting for the best time to take action - opportunities are created by people, not waiting for rabbits.

It was the mother of Hibiscus who was under the soul snatching curse who was responsible for creating the "opportunity".

At the scene of the top three competition, she was sitting beside little Gabriel with an indifferent face, staring at the magic flame in the center of the circular platform below.

Once Hibiscus obtains the golden crown of Ravenclaw as the top three cup and appears from there, she will start to cause a commotion, and take advantage of the commotion to send out the black devil mark to inform the people she "should" notify, so as to create greater chaos.

But if Hibiscus didn't get the golden crown, she had to wait and wait for the golden crown to appear before taking action.

This action was not allowed to fail, because the soul snatching curse on Hibiscus's mother was imposed by Voldemort himself - it was the most elaborate test plan for him.

But Voldemort, who secretly planned all this, didn't expect that his series of behaviors were guessed like the enemy's first opportunity long before Maka left.

This is a game between Marka and Voldemort. Although they are far away now, their confrontation has begun as early as Marka solved those werewolves.

"... I see," Dumbledore, who was sitting at the host table, leaned back slightly and whispered to the seemingly deserted behind him, "please, alasto... Let everyone cheer up and pay attention to everything inside and outside the school!"
