HP in the name of Slytherin

Chapter 178 Voldemort and the Order of the Phoenix

The magic of the magic field was modified and researched based on the ancient magic circle after Catherine woke up for the second time. At first, she thought that she was the only one in the world who had mastered this magic.

She never intended to teach it to anyone.

However, Voldemort also developed the same magic in some way. When Catherine realized the danger of this magic and restrained from using it based on instinct, Voldemort had no scruples in this regard, but spent great efforts to continue researching and wantonly Use it.

"This magic..." Dumbledore made a circular gesture towards Catherine.

Catherine shook her head, "It wasn't me. I only studied it before I entered school."

So judging from the research time, Voldemort may have mastered this magic earlier than Catherine.

Dumbledore let out a long sigh.

Yes, they have known for a long time that Tom Riddle is one of the top geniuses since the founding of Hogwarts.

It only takes a few minutes of contact to shake someone's mind. Within half an hour of their first meeting, Minister Jenkins and the others were probably already under Voldemort's control.

The subsequent "visits" were entirely intended to spread influence and control more Ministry of Magic officials.

Combined with the previous performance of Kate Shafik, he is also likely to be controlled, and he is now the most powerful person in the British wizarding world after Dumbledore.

"Is there any way to restrain this magic?" Dumbledore asked directly.

He had not been exposed to Voldemort's magic field and was not sure whether he would be affected. However, he had tried Catherine's magic field himself and found that as long as he was conscious, he would not be affected at all.

Catherine said: "The magic power is strong enough, the mind is firm enough, and the person is deliberately on guard. This may reduce the probability of being controlled. If we directly use magic to restrain him, there is currently no way."

Dumbledore asked again: "Only by breaking the curse?"

"You can break the curse, but so far I have only tried to break Malfoy and Mr. Crouch. You know the former, but the latter is no problem."

Like Abraxas, who is deeply controlled and even imprinted with the Dark Mark on his soul. The only way to unlock it is to use forbidden magic to retrace the time of his body and soul. Not only is it very dangerous, but it also involves Lucius's life. And soul, half of the Malfoy family's treasures were taken out.

Other families or individuals may have difficulty gathering even the initial materials.

"But with his personality, there won't be too many Malfoy-like situations," Tom whispered.

The person who knows him best, apart from his old enemy, is himself, especially Tom who has deeply analyzed "his" situation in order to help Catherine.

Abraxas was Tom Riddle's "best friend" who loved and hated him when he was a student. After becoming Voldemort, he became one of his most important "partners". It was only after a long accumulation of time and feelings that he came into being. Voldemort's "love" for Abraxas.

So in most cases, the people being controlled are like Crouch.

However, Dumbledore heard what Catherine meant and asked: "Does ordinary breaking of curses also need to be like Crouch?"

It takes several days to undo the curse on a person, which is nowhere near the speed of Voldemort's control.

"The sample is still too small. According to what Mr. Crouch just said, at the same time, Voldemort used different magic fields on different people, and the magic composition was different. There is no way to directly break the curse with the same method."

As Catherine said this, Dumbledore followed her gaze to Moody while thinking deeply.

Both men's eyes flickered back and forth between Moody and Crouch.

Almost at the same time, he asked: "Do you know other people who are controlled?"

Crouch said cautiously: "I'm not entirely sure."

Moody didn't answer immediately.

Even if there is a high probability that some of Crouch's colleagues have been controlled, if they are not precise to the individual, and if they are not sure of their position, bringing them directly to break the curse is likely to alert the snake.

Voldemort still doesn't know that Catherine also has mastery of the magic field and can break curses.

Moreover, his research direction tends to be practical. Unlike Catherine, who spends time studying the solution to curses, he does not have as much information to study the principles in depth.

This was Catherine's advantage.

Moody thought for a long time and said a name: "Bones, Edgar Bones, there's something wrong with him recently."

"Edgar..." Dumbledore frowned and said hesitantly, "His wife was sick recently and he told me."

Moody had a straight face, but finally couldn't help it. He took out a small, exquisite curved wine bottle from his pocket, unscrewed the cap and took a deep sip. He said coldly: "It's my intuition."

Before Dumbledore could speak, he added fiercely: "He recently made an appointment with the Prewett brothers... Well, something's wrong!"

It seems that they are ready to arrest these three people and investigate them carefully.

Catherine had actually heard of these three names, they were all on the list of Order members given to her by Dumbledore.

Edgar Bones, like Moody, is one of the founders and backbones of the Order of the Phoenix. His sister Catherine also came into contact with the little witch Amelia Bones in the Potions class.

The Prewett brothers are twins who have just graduated from Hogwarts and are active backbones of the Order of the Phoenix.

They all protect the mixed-blood and hemp wizards as pure-bloods.

Dumbledore lowered his eyelashes and said solemnly: "Then go and invite them."

If, as Moody said, all three people were controlled, then the Order of the Phoenix has undoubtedly been exposed to Voldemort. Not to mention some of the Prewett brothers who joined later, Edgar Bones alone already knew too much about the Order of the Phoenix.

When Moody mentioned his name, Dumbledore actually believed Moody's words.

Because Catherine also used the magic field to try to control Moody when Dumbledore brought him here, but failed. She used the principle of the magic field to observe Moody, and he was also "clean".

Unless Catherine's explicit verbal inducement slowly erodes him, or Voldemort personally goes to battle and makes great efforts to infect him, Moody is not that easy to control.

After receiving Catherine's message, Dumbledore sighed, "Sorry to trouble you, Alastor."

"Just wait," Moody took a swig of the contents of the flask, wiped his mouth, stood up, and said gruffly, "I'm going over now."

The last words were addressed to Catherine.

This kind of magic manor requires the owner's permission to enter or exit.

Moody was always in high spirits, but he didn't expect Catherine to stand up as well, "Tom and I will go with you."

If it is really controlled, Catherine and Tom are the best detectors, and Voldemort will always be angered by the two of them.

Dumbledore also said: "I will watch from a distance."

Crouch stood up hesitantly: "Then I also..."

"Please wait here," Catherine said to Crouch. "If I can find new samples, I need to compare them with you."

"Oh," Crouch then sat down hesitantly, "Then I'll wait here?"

Catherine is immune to Voldemort's magic, Tom is familiar with Voldemort's tricks, and Moody is an elite Auror, not to mention Dumbledore... It seems that Crouch is not suitable to keep up. If he is controlled again, Catherine will have to do it again. Help him break the curse once.

Of course, if Voldemort uses different magic fields to control him this time, Crouch will be equal to two samples - but in this case, Xiaoba will probably be very angry.

Catherine waved to little Barty who was hiding behind the corner of the courtyard. After the boy came slowly over, she patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go out for a while. Can you and your father wait here first?"

Little Barty glared at his frustrated old father angrily and said firmly: "Don't worry, Sister K, I will keep a close eye on this place!"
