Chapter 850: The shadow is approaching
Ding Dong!
The doorbell rang.
"Damn it, who is calling the door so late?"
When he was awakened in the middle of the night, Crouch was in a very bad mood. At the moment when the door was turned open, the expression of consternation on Crouch\'s face completely froze, because he saw a dead person, the other party He was holding an ugly baby in his arms, and the baby was pointing at him with a magic wand.
"The soul is out of the body!"
A hoarse voice sounded under the night.
Crouch, who had been hit by the Imperius Curse, converged the expression on his face and turned to the side like a okay person, letting people from outside enter the house, as if he was entertaining guests he hadn\'t seen for a long time.
Peter soon found Batty, who was unconscious, and he was hidden in a very secret place, covered with a cloak of invisibility of very good quality.
Voldemort raised his wand, awakened the still unconscious man in front of him, and lifted the Imperius Curse on him.
Little Batty 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 startled. Then his eyes fell on the baby in the man\'s arms again, and his mind was in confusion.
"It\'s me, I\'m back."
"Master, you are here to save me, to save your most loyal servant." There was a bright smile on Little Barty\'s face: "I know that the master is not dead, it\'s really great, great."
"Okay Batty, sit down."
Voldemort asked Old Barty to leave the living room, looked at the faithful servant in front of him, and said hoarsely: "I haven\'t fully recovered my original strength. Now I have a plan. I need a loyal and reliable servant to help me execute the plan so that I can Take back the power that belongs to me completely."
"I am willing." Little Batty did not hesitate, "I am willing to take all risks for the master."
"I need you to bring Harry Potter before me." Voldemort said the ultimate goal of the mission.
"Master, what should I do to bring Harry Potter to you?" Barty Jr. naturally heard of the name of the savior Potter.
"I want you to pretend to be the old Auror Moody and venture to Hogwarts." Voldemort began to tell his plan.
"Wormtail caught Bertha Jorkins in Arnia and let us know about you. I also learned a lot from her. The old Auror Moody is going to teach at Hogwarts. Hogwarts will host the Triwizard Tournament this year.” Voldemort’s words paused and continued: “I want Harry Potter to be a warrior. You need to monitor and guide Harry Po during the Triwizard Tournament. Especially, I need to ensure that Harry Potter gets the top three cup. You need to replace the trophy with a door key so that the first person who catches it can bring him to me."
"Ahem, sorry master." Wormtail coughed lightly and reminded, "There is one thing I must remind you. Harry Potter may be good at the same age, but there is a genius named Albert Anderson. Now, it’s almost impossible for Harry Potter to get the top three first, unless we get rid of the Mudblood first."
It seems that in order to strengthen Voldemort\'s determination, Peter did not forget to remind: "Albert Anderson has won several world-class championship titles and is known as the most talented wizard of the century. I\'m sure he will definitely become Hogg. Warriors of Watts."
"Albert Anderson?" Voldemort recalled the name a bit.
He remembers that when he was possessed by Quirrell, there seemed to be a student named Albert Anderson who always liked to ask questions about the defense against the dark arts to Quirrell. In the end, Quirrell made him want to hide. open.
"Wormtail, I know you hate that mudblood." Voldemort looked at Peter with a sneer. "He got you into Azkaban prison, right."
"Yes, it\'s him." Peter shrank his neck and gritted his teeth. It seemed that it took a lot of effort to gather up the courage and say: "But what I said is also the truth. Albert Anderson may be the biggest in the whole plan. Hinder."
“It’s not appropriate to let that Mudblood go missing, especially now when he gets the most attention. Once missing, it will cause a lot of attention, and Harry Potter has become a warrior at Hogwarts, and Dumbledore Will have doubts about the whole thing."
For Voldemort, it was a smarter Mudblood. Compared with the chain reaction brought about by his disappearance, which led to the risk of early exposure of the plan, Voldemort was more willing to believe in the abilities of Little Crouch and believe that the other party could handle the 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 critical moments, Crouch can even use the door key directly to bring Harry Potter to his side.
"Master, I will take care of this." Little Batty smiled confidently: "I won\'t let that mudblood influence this great plan."
Yes, in the eyes of Little Batty, the truly powerful wizards all come from pure blood, and the mudbloods are of that level, so you don\'t need to care at all.
Wormtail mentioned this incident simply because he wanted to take this opportunity to avenge himself.
Seeing that Voldemort had already made a decision, Peter didn\'t dare to mention it again. However, from the bottom of his heart, Peter still thought that Voldemort had made a stupid decision.
Peter admits that he does have selfish motives, but he who has dealt with Albert Anderson knows more than anyone that he is terrible.
Is it true to win so many world-class championships?
Damn pure blood arrogance.
"We need to fix the 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 the compound potion 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 it will easily attract some people\'s attention. System, so you can avoid a lot of trouble."
"Don\'t worry about this. My level of potions is pretty good. It shouldn\'t be a problem to make compound potions." Little Batty is confident in his potions.
"I have already purchased some materials. It should be possible for you to make the first pot first, but the horns of the double-horned beast and the African tree snake skin are more difficult to obtain. I have to take time to purchase more materials from the black market. Make sure there are enough compound medicines."
"Then it is to subdue Moody. It is a bit difficult. We need him to be alive instead of killing people." Voldemort continued: "Wormtail will help you. Before that, you have to restore yourself to normal. To prepare for the plan."
In the next few days, Voldemort controlled Crouch to buy the common medicinal materials of the compound potion in the pharmacy. Peter disguised as a foreign wizard and bought the horns of the double-horned beast and African tree snake skin on the black market.
African tree snake skin is the main raw material of compound medicine, and it is an uncommon potion, causing them to become prohibited trade items.
After Barty and Peter made all the preparations, they quietly came to Moody\'s house. As the former Auror, Aristo Moody was very vigilant, and trying to subdue him is not easy.
Of course, for today, Little Barty and Peter are ready, they even use the Illusion Charm on themselves, intending to take the opportunity to attack each other.
However, the plan always fails to keep up with the changes.
Neither Barty Jr nor Peter knew it, but Moody was blinded by a blind eye and put a magic eye on it. Therefore, when Peter rang the doorbell, Moody had already seen Peter cast the phantom curse on himself through the magic eye.
How can it be!
When Moody saw Peter, he was very surprised. He didn\'t expect that Peter, who should have died, would appear at his door.
Peter\'s goal is obviously himself.
However, Moody did not intend to escape, and Peter Pettigrew did not make himself afraid to the extent that he needed to escape.
He wanted to catch Peter now and figure out what was going on.
What\'s more, Moody occupies a great advantage, because Peter didn\'t know that he had discovered him through the perspective effect of the magic eye.
The doorbell rang for a long time, but Moody never opened the door.
Seeing that there was no response inside, Peter used magic to open the door lock and broke in. He obviously realized that Moody had found himself, or was he still sleeping?
The former is more likely.
What warning measures may Moody\'s have, they must catch him before the other party flees, otherwise all plans will fail because of this.
As soon as he entered the house, Peter was attacked. Although Moody\'s is old and has some inconveniences in his legs and feet, he still embarrassed Peter with his rich combat experience.
The explosion sounded in the room, and Peter hid behind a wall in embarrassment.
"Damn it, Batty, come and help!" Peter yelled, they must rush to subdue Moody as soon as possible before the others arrive.
Of course, Peter called Barty to distract Moody\'s attention, and the opponent was an elderly man, unable to fight as flexibly as before.
Peter\'s shout made Moody\'s stunned, and intuitively told Moody that there might be another enemy around him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Moody was ready to retreat, but Little Batty did not give him a chance, and quickly outflanked Moody from another corner, blocking Moody in the room.
"We must subdue Moody as soon as possible." Peter yelled to Barty Jr., "You can\'t let him run away like this, you must stop him."
"Shut up." Little Batty waved his wand and blasted the wall open. He rushed into the room without fear and used the Stunning Charm to knock down Moody who was about to apparate.
"This guy is really difficult, and he almost let him run away." Peter couldn\'t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Once Moody\'s was really let away, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Quickly get this back to normal, the guys from the Ministry of Magic will be here soon." Barty glanced at the yelling waste, pulled out a few Moody\'s hair, and added it to the compound potion. He took a sip of the potion and became Moody\'s appearance.
Then, from Moody\'s body, he took away his wooden legs and magic eyes and installed them on himself.
"What about this guy?"
Peter used the repair spell to repair the place in the house that was damaged by the battle, and at the same time asked Batty how to deal with Moody, they must ensure that this guy is alive.
If Barty Young wants to hide Dumbledore, he must understand Moody\'s past and his habits in order to hide it from Dumbledore. Moreover, he also needs to use Moody\'s hair to prepare the compound medicine.
In the end, they turned Moody into a mouse, temporarily locked up in a magically conjured cage, and prepared to wait for the people from the Ministry of Magic to go back and deal with his affairs.
After helping to restore the traces of the fighting in the house, Peter hurriedly left.
According to the original plan, Little Batty took Moody\'s wand to explode the trash can in the yard and fly the trash everywhere to deal with the upcoming Ministry of Magic employees.
In fact, the plan went very well. When the Muggle police arrived, there was even a trash can spraying garbage out.
The expressions on the faces of the Muggle police officers are quite wonderful.
In the end, it was him, or Moody\'s old friend Arthur, who came to deal with this matter.
Arthur had to modify the memories of those policemen, was able to end the matter and let them leave.
"What is going on?" Arthur asked wearily.
"I heard the alarm go off." Moody looked around warily. "I couldn\'t see the other person, but I could hear someone breaking into the yard. The other person was walking quietly towards the house, but he failed. Probably Unexpectedly, the trash can will ambush him, but because of too much noise, he can only retreat temporarily. I suspect that the other party may be someone who wants me to seek revenge."
"It\'s fine if you are okay, at least the situation is not too bad. I think you will only be warned by the Ministry of Magic at most." Arthur sighed in relief after listening. Although he suspected Moody was suspicious, he also knew that the other party was suspicious. Many enemies, especially in this situation, God knows if the dark wizards in the Quidditch World Cup will have a brainstorm and run over to find Moody\'s trouble.
"Thanks to you, or I might be in trouble."
"I remember you are going to work at Hogwarts today." Mr. Weasley asked.
"Yes, today."
"Well, honestly... The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is not very lucky."
"I only taught for a year and did Dumbledore a favor. He couldn\'t find a suitable Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." Moody murmured, "Then I can live a peaceful retirement again."
"I have to go, to help you deal with people who are prohibited from abusing the Magic Office." Arthur reminded me before leaving, "If Rita Skeeter comes to interview you, it\'s best to ignore her, if you can avoid it. It\'s better."
After Arthur Weasley left, Barty Jr. returned to the house to count Moody\'s clothes and black magic detectors.
Finally, Little Batty discovered that there was a dark room in Moody\'s magic box, so he used the Imperius Curse to control Moody and put it into the dark room in the magic box before leaving for Hogwarts.
