Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

In the afternoon, Andre and the twins found an abandoned classroom to gather to discuss. Hermione also came. She was still very worried about the actions of the three of them, especially when it involved prohibited items such as Veritaserum.

After confirming that Peter Pettigrew's name really appeared on the location of the Gryffindor boys' dormitory on the Marauder's Map, everyone temporarily agreed with Andre's speculation.

"But where do we have to go to get Veritaserum? You can't buy this kind of magic potion in Hogward." Fred said with a frown.

Andre glanced at Hermione cautiously before replying in a low voice: "Snape's private storage room must have the ingredients for the truth serum, but we have to find the potion formula first."

"Are you still planning to go to Professor Snape's office to steal potion ingredients?" Hermione found it unbelievable, especially when she saw the twins' eyes lit up after hearing Andre's words, as if this was so much fun. What about.

George comforted the frantic little witch, and said with a smile: "Don't worry Hermione, Snape has applied to be the referee for tomorrow's Quidditch match. This is a great opportunity, and we won't be discovered."

Fred also nodded: "Yes, but the two of us have to participate in the competition, otherwise Wood will not let us go, so only Andre and you can do this."

"Am I going too?" Hermione's little face was full of horror. Now she is not the girl next year who can go to Snape's office to steal African tree snake skin for her friends. She has not yet experienced the end of the first school year. Taking risks, the little witch was far less courageous than she was later.

Moreover, this incident was ultimately Andre's guess. In Hermione's opinion, telling the teacher was the best solution. This was completely different from the situation in the second grade when Harry was suspected by everyone after the Chamber of Secrets was opened. different.

"I can go alone." But Andre rejected Fred's proposal. He waved his hand and said, "But before that, we have to find the formula for making Veritaserum."

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but there seemed to be an empty feeling in her heart: "I know which book contains the formula for Veritaserum. It must be recorded in "Power Potion", but that book is in the restricted area. , Mrs. Pings won’t let us in without the professor’s approval note.”

"That's easy!" George and Fred high-fived happily: "Tonight, we will take you on a night tour of Hogwarts. We promise that this will definitely be an exciting and safe adventure."

Think about it, the twins got the Marauder's Map from Filch's office in the first grade. With their characters, they have already taken night walks in the castle countless times.

But to Andre's surprise, Hermione didn't refuse the twins' proposal. When he looked at the little witch strangely, she blushed inexplicably.

"Okay, let's talk about it tonight." Now that they had made a plan, they left the empty classroom together.

-------------------------------------

"You heard it, Quirrell! Someone is asking about Wormtail!" While Andre and others were still discussing how to deal with Pettigrew, in the office of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Quirrell was untying his turban. With his back to a mirror, he talks to Voldemort who lives in the back of his head.

"Yes...yes, my master, the witch asked the bar owner about Peter Pettigrew." Without outsiders present, Quirrell spoke much more normally.

Voldemort sneered and said: "He is not dead. Those idiots actually think that Black betrayed Potter. Wormtail is the servant who is loyal to me. What's ridiculous is that Dumbledore actually let the Wizengamot grant him the first level." Order of Merlin, what an old fool."

Quirrell obviously didn't understand this matter. He said with some uncertainty: "Master, do you mean that Peter is the one who betrayed Potter?"

"Of course, what a pitiful soul that is. He longs for fame and power, but as long as Potter and Black are together, he will never be able to get ahead. Moreover, Wormtail is still so cowardly. He is afraid of my power. Afraid of the consequences of opposing me." Even with only a remnant of his soul left, Voldemort was still proud of his former power.

"But...but, Master, according to them, Peter is indeed dead. He was blown up by Black's magic and only one finger was left." Quirrell was still a little confused.

Voldemort smiled disdainfully: "Black? How could Black know that curse? It was the black magic I taught Wormtail. How could he die under his own magic? Everyone was deceived by him. Moreover, you Look what that ugly bar owner said. He said that Wormtail went to Black for a duel in order to avenge Potter. Haha, Wormtail is the real secret keeper of the Potter family. How could he go there for such a ridiculous reason? Black.”

Quirrell seemed to understand Voldemort's thinking. He said, "So Peter deliberately faked his death and hid? But why did he do this?"

"Of course it's because of that damn Harry Potter. He made me lose the power to rule the wizarding world, and made all my servants who once crawled at my feet turn their backs on me. I hid in Albany for 11 Years, but no one has ever come to me, never!" Voldemort got angry as he spoke. From the moment he made the first Horcrux, his emotions became increasingly uncontrollable by reason.

"Go find him, find Wormtail. I know his character well. He doesn't dare to betray me, even if I lose my power now. He is different from Lucius and others. He doesn't have the courage. You need help, and I can't If we continue to wait like this endlessly, we must get the Magic Stone as soon as possible."

-------------------------------------

At eleven o'clock in the evening, most of the little wizards had fallen asleep. Andre took out the watch he bought during the Christmas vacation to determine the time, quietly climbed out of bed, and then came to the common room.

George and Fred were already waiting for him in armchairs by the fire, but Hermione had not yet appeared.

Just as he was hesitating whether to leave now, he saw the little witch opening the small door leading to the girls' dormitory with a troubled expression.

"Then, let's go." Since Hermione finally chose to go on a night trip with them, Andre didn't say much. He took out his wand and tapped the three of them. A burst of light and shadow changed, and everyone was very excited. Almost lost track.

"Cool! Is this the Disguise Spell? I've seen Bill use it before. This is really a magical skill for night travel." Because he couldn't see other people's bodies, Andre didn't know whether it was George or Fred. When it comes to speaking, the two brothers not only look alike, but their voices are almost identical.

"Keep quiet. As long as you don't use magic, this spell can help us become invisible." With a reminder, Andre walked towards the door first. He could feel a hand behind him firmly grabbing the corner of his clothes. You don't need to think about it to know that it must be an uneasy little witch.
