Chapter 851： shadow looming

Chapter 851 The shadow is approaching

In the quiet night, there was a piercing explosion, and a black figure in a cloak appeared out of thin air. He seemed to be holding something in his arms, and strolled along the path, finally stopping in front of a big house.

Ding Dong!

The doorbell rang.

"Damn it, who's calling the door so late?"

Waking up in the middle of the night, Crouch was in a bad mood. The moment the door was opened, Crouch's expression of astonishment froze completely, because he saw a dead person, the other There was also an ugly baby in his arms, and the baby was pointing a wand at him.

"Out of body!"

A hoarse voice sounded under the night.

Crouch, who had been hit by the Imperius Curse, restrained his expression, turned to one side as if nothing happened, and let people outside enter the room, as if entertaining guests he hadn't seen for a long time.

Peter quickly found the unconscious little Barty, who was hidden in a very secret place and covered with a pretty good quality invisibility cloak.

Voldemort raised his wand, awakened the still unconscious man in front of him, and lifted the Imperius Curse on him.

Little Barty opened his eyes and looked at the strange man in front of him suspiciously. His eyes fell on the father beside him, and he was taken aback. Then his eyes fell on the baby in the man's arms, and his mind was in chaos.

"It's me, I'm back."

"Master, you have come to save me, your most loyal servant." Little Barty showed a bright smile on his face: "I knew the master was not dead, it's really great, great."

"Alright little Barty, sit down."

Voldemort let old Barty leave the living room, looked at the loyal servant in front of him, and said hoarsely: "I haven't fully recovered my original strength, now I have a plan, and I need a loyal and reliable servant to help me carry out the plan, so that I can Completely take back the power that belongs to me."

"I am willing." Little Barty said without any hesitation, "I am willing to risk everything for my master."

"I need you to bring Harry Potter to me." Voldemort said the ultimate purpose of the task.

"Master, what should I do to bring Harry Potter to you?" Little Barty naturally heard of the name of the savior Potter.

"I want you to disguise yourself as the old Auror Moody and venture to Hogwarts." Voldemort began to tell his plan. "To make Harry Potter a warrior, you also need you to monitor and guide Harry Potter during the Triwizard Tournament, to ensure that Harry Potter gets the Triwizard Cup, and to exchange the trophy for a portkey at a critical moment , so that the Portkey can bring Harry Potter to me."

"Ahem, sorry master." Wormtail reminded with a light cough, "There is one thing I must remind you, Harry Potter may be quite good at his age, but there is that genius named Albert Anderson Now, it's almost impossible for Harry Potter to win the Triwizard Cup first, unless we get rid of the Mudblood first."

As if to strengthen Voldemort's determination, Peter did not forget to remind: "Albert Anderson has already won several world-class championship titles and is known as the most talented wizard of this century. I'm sure he will definitely become Hogger Warriors of Watts."

"Albert Anderson?" Voldemort recalled the name a little.

He remembered that when he was possessed by Quirrell, there seemed to be a student named Albert Anderson who always liked to ask Quirrell about Defense Against the Dark Arts, and finally made Quirrell want to hide when he saw him. open.

"Wormtail, I know you hate that Mudblood." Voldemort looked at Peter and sneered, "He was the one who put you in Azkaban Prison, right?"

"Yes, that's him." Peter shrank his neck, gritted his teeth, and seemed to spend a lot of effort to muster up the courage to say: "But what I said is also true, Albert Anderson may be the biggest in the whole plan." hinder."

"It wouldn't be right for that Mudblood to go missing now, especially when he's getting the most attention. There's going to be a lot of attention if he goes missing, and Harry Potter is a Hogwarts champion, and Dumbledore is would cast doubt on the whole thing."

For Voldemort, he was a smarter Mudblood. Compared to the chain reaction of his disappearance, which would cause the plan to be exposed in advance, Voldemort was more willing to believe in the ability of little Crouch, and believed that the other party could handle this matter. , instead of ruining the whole plan because of Wormtail's selfishness.

Of course, even if there are problems, the plan can still be readjusted. For example, at a critical moment, Crouch can even use the Portkey directly to bring Harry Potter to him.

"Master, I will take care of this matter." Little Barty showed a confident smile: "I will not let that mudblood affect this great plan."

That's right, in Barty Jr.'s view, the truly powerful wizards come from pure blood, and mudbloods are only at that level, so don't worry about it at all.

Wormtail mentioned this incident because he wanted to take this opportunity to avenge himself.

Peter saw that Voldemort had made a decision, so he didn't dare to mention this matter again. He was afraid of offending the other party, so he used the Cruciatus Curse to torture himself. However, from the bottom of his heart, Peter still thought Voldemort had made a foolish decision.

Peter admits that he does have selfish intentions, but he who has dealt with Albert Anderson knows better than anyone how terrible that guy is.

Is it true that winning so many world-class championships is a lie?

Damn pure blood arrogance.

"We need to deal with old Auror Moody first, and we need to prepare the compound potion before that." Voldemort said and looked at Wormtail, who took out a bottle of compound potion they had prepared in advance, which they bought from the black market .

"This bottle of compound medicine can last for a few days, but we need to buy more compound medicine, but doing so will easily attract the attention of some people." Peter lowered his voice, "We'd better be able to survive by ourselves This will save you a lot of trouble."

"Don't worry about this. My potion level is not bad. It shouldn't be a problem to make compound potions." Little Barty is very confident in his potion, "As long as you can provide enough materials."

"I've already purchased some materials, which should allow you to cook the first pot first." Peter said to Little Barty.

"This is not enough." Barty Jr. said to Peter, "I need a lot of compound medicine. If there is no material, the plan will not be realized at all."

"The horns of the bicorn and the skin of the African tree snake are relatively difficult to obtain. It takes time and time for Garen to continue to purchase the materials from the black market. You can't expect me to buy all the materials in one go while taking care of the adults. "Peter frowned and said displeasedly, "Also, I caught Bertha Jorkins in Alnia, and you have a chance to be free."

"Enough, Wormtail continues to purchase materials." Voldemort interrupted the unpleasant communication between the two, he still needed Wormtail. So, he said to Little Barty, "Wormtail will help you subdue Moody. Before that, you have to get ready."

In the next few days, Voldemort controlled Crouch to the pharmacy to buy common medicinal materials for the compound potion. Peter disguises himself as a foreign wizard and buys bicorn horns and African tree snake skin on the black market.

African tree snake skin is the main raw material for compound potions, and it is an uncommon potion, causing them to become prohibited trade items.

After Batty and Peter made all the preparations, they quietly came to Moody's house. As a former Auror, Alastor Moody was very vigilant, and it was not easy to subdue him.

Of course, for today, Batty Jr. and Peter have already made preparations. They even used the illusion spell on themselves, intending to take the opportunity to attack each other.

However, the plan always lags behind the changes.

Neither Barty Jr. nor Peter knew that Moody was blind in one eye and put on a magic eye for it. So, when Peter rang the doorbell, Moody had already seen Peter who had cast the Disillusionment Charm on him through the magic eye.

How can it be!

When Moody saw Peter, he was very surprised. He never thought that Peter Pettigrew, who was supposed to die, would appear at his door.

Peter's target is obviously himself.

However, Moody had no intention of running away, and Peter Pettigrew hadn't let himself be so intimidated as to run away.

He wants to catch Peter even more now and find out what's going on.

What's more, Moody has a great advantage, because Peter doesn't know that he has discovered him through the perspective effect of the magic eye.

The doorbell rang for a long time, but there was no sign of Moody opening the door.

Seeing that there was no response inside, Peter used magic to unlock the door and broke in. He obviously realized that Moody had found him, or was he still sleeping?

The former is more likely.

Moody may have some alarm measures. They must catch him before the other party flees, otherwise all plans will fail.

As soon as he entered the house, Peter was attacked. Although Moody was old and his legs and feet were somewhat inconvenient, relying on his rich combat experience, he still put Peter in a mess.

Explosions sounded in the room, and Peter hid behind a wall in embarrassment.

"Damn, Barty, come and help!" Peter yelled, and they had to subdue Moody as soon as possible before the others arrived.

Of course, Peter called Batty just to distract Moody's attention, and the opponent was an old man who couldn't fight as flexibly as before.

Peter's shout made Moody stunned for a moment, and his intuition told Moody that there might be another enemy around.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Moody was about to retreat, but Barty Jr. didn't give him a chance, and quickly outflanked from another corner, blocking Moody in the room.

"We must subdue Moody as soon as possible." Peter shouted towards Little Barty, "We can't let him escape like this, we must stop him."

"Shut up." Little Barty waved his wand and blasted the wall, bravely broke into the room, and knocked down Moody who was about to Apparate with a stun spell.

"This guy is really difficult to deal with, and he almost ran away." Peter couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Once Moody was really allowed to run away, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Get this place back to normal, the guys from the Ministry of Magic will be here soon." Batty glanced at the yelling waste, pulled out a few Moody's hairs, and added them to the compound potion. He took a sip of the potion and turned into Moody.

Then, from Moody's body, took his wooden legs and magic eyes and fitted himself.

"What about this guy?"

Peter used the repair spell to repair the damaged parts of the house due to the battle, and asked Barty Jr. how he planned to deal with Moody. They had to keep this guy alive.

If Barty Jr. wants to hide from Dumbledore, he must understand Moody's past and his habits in order to hide from Dumbledore. Also, he needs Moody's hair to make the compound potion.

Finally, they turned Moody into a mouse and put him in a magical cage for the time being, waiting to deal with the Ministry of Magic before returning to his business.

After helping to restore the traces of the battle in the house, Peter left in a hurry.

Jr. Barty followed the original plan, holding Moody's wand, causing the trash can in the yard to explode, flying the trash everywhere, and using it to deal with the incoming Ministry of Magic employees.

In fact, the plan went so well that there was even a dumpster spraying garbage when the Muggle police arrived.

The expressions on the faces of those Muggle policemen are quite wonderful.

In the end, it was he, or Moody's old friend Arthur, who came to deal with this matter.

Arthur had to revise the memories of those policemen to end this matter and let them leave.

"What's going on?" Arthur asked wearily.

"I heard the alarm go off." Moody looked around vigilantly, "I couldn't see the other person, but I could hear the sound of someone breaking into the yard. The other person was walking quietly towards the house, but he failed, probably I didn't expect that the trash can would ambush him, but I had to retreat temporarily because there was too much noise, and I suspected that the other party might be someone who wanted to seek revenge on me."

"As long as you are fine, at least the situation is not too bad. I think you will only be warned by the Ministry of Magic at most." Arthur heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. Although he suspected that Moody himself was suspicious, he also knew that the other party had There are quite a few enemies, especially in the current situation, God knows if those dark wizards at the Quidditch World Cup will get mad and come to trouble Moody.

"Thanks to you, otherwise I would be in trouble."

"I remember you are going to Hogwarts today." Mr. Weasley asked.

"Yes, today."

"Well, to be honest...Professor Defense Against the Dark Arts is not very lucky."

"I'll only teach for one year, do Dumbledore a favor, he can't find a suitable Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." Moody grumbled, "Then, I can resume a peaceful retirement life."

"I have to go to help you deal with the people in the Prohibited Abuse of Magic Office." Arthur did not forget to remind before leaving, "If Rita Skeeter comes to interview you, it is best to ignore her, if you can avoid it Better."

After Arthur Weasley left, Barty Jr. returned to the house and took stock of Moody's clothes and dark arts detectors.

Finally, Barty Jr. found a darkroom in Moody's magic box, so he used the Imperius Curse to control Moody, put him in the darkroom of the magic box, and then set off for Hogwarts.
