38 years of past events

It happened three days later when I set off for Albania with Peter, we were resting in a hotel on the way.

"Wormtail, you'd better pay for every word you say, if I find out you've lied to me!"

"No, no, my good master, there can be no mistake, he must be there. I swear! I have heard many legends about Albania since I became a mouse, from those mice, from various In the mouths of the animals, in fact they were all discussing that there is a terrible and evil power lurking in the great forests of Albania, and I know it is him, and I can't be wrong."

It's not that I don't want to believe him, but that along the way, except for the only hotel now, I hardly saw a ghost, not even a living thing, and the road became more and more desolate.

At this moment, the door of the hotel opened, and a woman walked in. She was dragging a heavy suitcase and wearing a flowered hat, as if she had just returned from a long journey.

"Why, Bertha, I'm glad to see you at this late hour, and I see, oh, you're even more handsome than ever."

"Thank you, Mr. Pilton is still so talkative, but now please arrange a room for me first? I am very tired."

"Of course no problem. Room 07 on the second floor, that room is still reserved for you, a lucky number."

"Well, in fact, I come to that room every time, even though I don't want to, but who made the guys from the Ministry of Finance work too hard, making us work day and night without any subsidy? What do you do after I tell you so much, let’s just take that room, is it still the old price?”

"Of course, you are always welcome, but having said that, I also wanted to go to the Ministry of Magic when I was young, but the conditions were not enough, haha, forget it, what to do with the past, take a good rest, there is a Sweet dreams, Miss Bertha."

"Wormtail, help me get two bottles of whiskey to Pilton." I said to Peter.Although he didn't know what I was going to do, he obediently followed suit.

The woman was struggling to drag her suitcase up the stairs at the moment. I walked over a few steps, helped her lift it, and carried it all the way to the second floor.

"thank you, sir."

"You're welcome, it's my honor to help a beautiful lady like you."

"Oh, look at what you said, there are not many boys who are as gentle as you are now."

"Of course, if you don't mind, may I have the honor to buy you a drink?"

"Of course, I'd love to."

"Then I will wait for you at 8 o'clock in the evening, beautiful lady."

Before I left, I kissed her hand, her cheeks flushed, and then shyly withdrew my hand.Well, that's what I'm trying to achieve, this woman from the Ministry of Magic.Of course, as long as I want to, I can always fascinate everyone who meets me. I heard that this is inherited from my father.

In the evening, the woman arrived as promised, well-dressed and wearing some tangy perfume. Although I don't think the smell is better than the love potion, I still chatted with her patiently. She was in a happy mood. After two glasses, the conversation also began to increase.

"Sir, you are so humorous. I think you must have made girls happy like this more than once, right?"

"Actually, there are not many, but Miss Bertha who makes me feel very speculative is the first one."

She laughed happily, "You handsome liar, but I just like to hear you say these things."

"Miss Bertha, are you back from a trip? But with all due respect, I don't think there is anything interesting in such a desolate place." I filled her with another glass of whiskey.

"You're right, this damn place sucks! If it wasn't for my mission, I wouldn't be bothered to get here."

"Huh? I don't know what made Miss Bertha travel so far? Is it an honor for me to know." After a few glasses of whiskey, she was a little drowsy, but she still looked at me with her head on one hand, "No! I can't just say that."

She smiled and approached me slowly, with the pungent smell of perfume in her breath, "But... I can choose to tell the people I think are close to me."

"Really, then I don't know if I can be your closest person, miss?"

She giggled: "You are such a little bastard, well, I tell you, my dear, but you can't tell anyone about this, and you can't reveal a word."

"Of course, you should trust me."

Then she lowered her voice, quietly, gently, as if she was really hiding some important secret: "I tell you, Randolph, this is not a vacation at all. You know the Ministry of Finance Gang guys are not so generous. I used to be a special commissioner in the Executive Division of the Ministry of Magic, but this time, according to relevant information, we got a terrible news, so I was ordered to investigate. In fact, such a thing It's happened many times."

"What news?"

"A terrorist attack in an Albanian forest."

"You went to the Albanian forest?"

"Of course, that's why I came this time. A few days ago, it was said that some people saw strange things appearing in Albania more than once, and then the next day, those animals would die one after another. You can hardly imagine the scene , It's disgusting, it's all blood, like it was bitten by something."

"Maybe it's a beast."

"No, no, I thought so at first, but I went to see it this time, and guess what I found? Oh, Merlin! There is black magic hidden there, it is very powerful black magic, and I even felt an unprecedented There's an evil force lurking in that wood. It's terrible. I've overheard my superiors say that they speculated—"

"Guess what?"

She paused for a while, making sure that there were really no one around, and continued to whisper to me: "That is related to the mysterious person. They guessed that the mysterious person is not dead, and even alive."

It seemed that Wormtail wasn't lying to me, and that person was probably really there.

"It's terrible, don't you think! It's been unbelievable after so many years. We all thought he was dead."

"Well, it is indeed a surprising thing. By the way, since Miss Bertha has been there, do you still remember the way back?"

"Of course, I will never forget that terrible place in my life!"

She seemed to realize something suddenly, and looked at me strangely: "Why are you asking this?" When the alcohol dissipated, her consciousness became clear: "Did I tell you too much just now? You want to know what these are for?"

"What do you think I would like to do?"

After thinking for a long time, she suddenly looked at me strangely: "You... you are not a Death Eater, are you?"

I smiled at her: "Okay, Bertha Jorkins, you should get out of my way." I pushed this extremely annoying woman away, and kept the strong perfume away from me. I didn't react, but at this moment, a part of the Dark Mark appeared on my arm, and she almost screamed with a pale face.

"Stupefy! (faintly) Wormtail, take her!"

It was evening when we found the place, but night seemed to fall very quickly in the Albanian forest.

The entire forest was shrouded in darkness, exuding a deadly silence. We walked in this piece of night, and we couldn't see or even hear the movement of any objects.But here I feel a breath of black magic, strong black magic, as we go deeper, the smell of blood becomes stronger, just like in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, on the ground There were corpses of magical creatures all over the place. From this, I guessed that he must have had a bad life. He might be attached to some animal and live by sucking their flesh and blood.

I don’t know how long it’s been since Wormtail stopped moving forward. He stood still and his body trembled violently. At the same time, Bertha Jorkins on his back was silenced by me. The reason for the curse also began to make a whining sound, and they all showed a great fear.

I stopped and looked at the last untouched forest ahead, and at this moment I finally understood what they were afraid of.

Randolph, come to me... remember, come back to me!

Father, I'm back!

"Wormtail, keep going, don't stop!"

"Master...Master..." At this moment, the fear that he couldn't hide covered his entire face, and he begged me in a tone that was so frightened that he was about to cry.

"Come on, you're an old man anyway, I think the Dark Lord will be very happy to see you, especially in this situation."

"No, he...will kill me, he will..."

"Okay! I'll let you go forward, hurry up!" I couldn't stand his crying, so I took out my wand and pointed at him.

He was forced by me to keep going, but from now on, he took every step extremely carefully and slowly, as if he was afraid that he would step on the ants on the ground.

"Wormtail, don't let me wear out my patience, hurry up!"

At this time, the black mist in front of us filled the air, and the wind was filled with thick blood, and we continued to walk along the mist, and finally in the deepest and darkest inside, I found out from the creeping shadow on the ground After seeing him, a cloud of mist-like shadows twisted in the grass and gradually changed into a hooded silhouette, and that strange silhouette was greedily sucking the blood on the ground at the moment, making smacking sounds from time to time. The wind makes all this even more weird and terrifying.

Peter was so terrified that his legs were shaking all the way, and now he fell to his knees uncontrollably.

"Who... who's there..." The shadow that sensed the movement quickly rushed towards this side.

"Lord... Lord... Master... Forgive me... Please... Please..." I bet there is no other voice that is worse than Peter crying.

"Be quiet!" The shadow yelled at Peter hoarsely after jumping over, and then he started to walk around Peter, "Now let me see who this is, oh, who else will come to me."

"Master...Master...I'm Peter Pettigrew...I came here specially to find you, and I'm your faithful servant..."

"Oh, I remembered, it turned out to be your dirty servant, Wormtail!" Accompanied by a hoarse voice, the black shadow gave Peter a hard blow, and Peter was thrown into the grass.

"Now, let me take a look again, who are you?" He rushed out of the wind in an instant, and leaned close to my cheek.

I took off the hood I was wearing until my whole face was exposed, and I said to the dark and empty shadow in front of me, "Father, I am Randolph, and I am back, looking for you!"

The shadow froze for a moment, and it took me a long time to hear his voice again from the bloody wind: "Randolph? Oh! My dear son, have you finally remembered me? Remembered your father in the Albanian forest I'm living a wandering life, so your only poor conscience is finally ready to come to me after finding out? Is that so?" Suddenly his tone changed again, becoming angry and irritable: "It's all Betrayers, you bloody betrayers, do you think you can get my forgiveness, Voldemort's forgiveness by coming back now? Do you!"

"No! Since the Philosopher's Stone, no one knows where you've been, you haven't even left me a hint, and Dumbledore is watching me all the time, I can only stay in Hogwarts and can't go anywhere , besides, I have been looking for you since I graduated, but I have no way of getting any news about you, so I have no way of knowing where you are and what kind of life you live, although I can guess that you must have lived Not good, but these are definitely not what I want to see, believe me." Regarding his misunderstanding, I almost instinctively refuted without hesitation.

I don't know if my explanation really worked, but I felt that his anger seemed to calm down a little, and he yelled towards the grass: "Wormtail, get over here!"

"Master...Master...I'm here...Wormtail is here..."

"Are you the two of you here this time?"

"Yes... yes... ah no, no... there is one more."

Oh, look at me, how I forgot about her.

"Wormtail, go, bring that stupid woman," I ordered to him.

"How come it's just the two of you? Lucius! Avery! August! Crabbe! . . . Where are they? Why don't they come? These damned bastards, disloyal servants, shameful traitors , After so many years, no one has tried to find me!"

"Those cunning nobles will not come. Don't expect them to come. In fact, I have visited all your loyal followers one by one, and some of them have completely quit us. They He didn't acknowledge his past at all, and the other part, like the Malfoy family, remained neutral, maybe he still expects our return, of course on the premise that their interests come first."

"Those who quit will one day pay for their cowardly defection! Voldemort swears, they will get what they deserve!"

"Master...Master...I brought her here."

"who is she?"

"Ministry of Magic, we met on the road." I undid Bertha Jorkins's silencing spell while talking, but she started to cry without playing: "Wormtail, let me Quiet her!"

After hearing the order, Peter went up and gave her a big slap in the face. Immediately, the woman finally stopped crying and calmed down.

I bent down to look at this trembling woman with tears on her face, and softly comforted me: "Don't worry, Miss Bertha, as long as you are willing to cooperate with us and tell us everything you know, we will let you go Yes. I promise!"

"Know what? What do you want to know? I... I've told you everything I should say, what do you want to know now?"

"Miss Bertha, have you been in the Ministry of Magic for so long, hasn't it taught you to be an honest witch?" My wand moved repeatedly on her forehead.

"I...but I really don't know anything..."

"Give her to Nagini!"

"Did you hear that, Miss Bertha, my father is going to hand you over to Nagini, do you know Miss Nagini? Never mind, I tell you, a snake, a giant twenty-inch snake , I heard that it often wanders around here."

Bertha bit her pale lips tightly in fright, her body was trembling all the time, very violently.

"Let's go, I'll take you to find Nagini!" Peter has already come up and dragged Bertha, and Bertha screamed in fright, she hugged my leg tightly, crying: "Don't, please, Randolph, don't leave me to the snake, please."

"That depends on whether Miss Bertha is worthy of us."

"Cooperate! I will definitely cooperate with you, and I will tell you everything. In fact, there is indeed one more thing, but I don't know much about it, but I will tell you everything, for sure!"

"whats the matter?"

"Do you know about the Triwizard Tournament?"

Triwizard Tournament, what is that?But soon my father answered his doubts: "A competition that has been interrupted for hundreds of years, a wizard is selected from each of the three schools to compete. Why, is the Ministry of Magic doing nothing all day thinking about how to recover? Triwizard Tournament?" From his tone, I heard the meaning of ridicule and sarcasm, and of course we never participated in the Triwizard Tournament.

"Yes, according to reliable sources, the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year. At that time, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will come. One more thing, they...they..."

"Anything else?"

"Dumbledore will invite their respective outstanding wizards to discuss how... how to resist black magic and..." She was really afraid that she would not say the following words.

I figured it out: "And they're trying to prevent You-Know-Who's resurrection, huh? Stupid! I gotta tell you that nobody can stop this! Whoever it is!"

"Randolph, let her go on!"

"Barty Crouch, he's the referee this time, but do you know his son? Barty Crouch Jr., that's crazy, his father locked him in the house, but as far as I know, He's not crazy, and he... he's also one of yours..."

"Barty Crouch?" I looked at my father, and he nodded, "There is such a person, I remember."

I thought for a moment: "If what you say is true, then I think I have a great plan, the Triwizard Tournament, Barty Crouch Jr., and Harry Potter, yes, a perfect plan." I am grateful for the information you have given us, Miss Bertha."

"What... are you... planning to do? The mysterious man... will... be resurrected?"

I was just about to answer her, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound from the bushes under the night, which seemed to be someone's footsteps: "Someone is coming! How can there be someone here!"

"Whoever kills him, no one else can find us!" said the father.

Just when I was about to grab that guy, that stupid guy Wormtail didn't restrain the woman and let her break free, and I immediately realized that Bertha Jorkins was a sore The life curse, the green fluorescent light hit her instantly, and she fell down with her eyes wide open.

However, the actions just now seemed to alarm the figure even more, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

damn it!Blame that stupid Wormtail, now, in a forest like Albania, I'd have a hard time finding him.

I began to crazily cast a flame spell on the surrounding vegetation, hoping to force that person out.Sure enough, after a while, there was indeed a figure jumping out from the surrounding flames. He wanted to run again, but I didn't give him this chance.

"Crucio! (Crucio)"

He was knocked to the ground, and I rushed forward and grabbed him.

"Where are you going now! Turn around and let me see who you are!"

I tore off his cloak and hood, and I must say I was surprised when the face turned.

"Daisy Alford?" Merlin!How could this idiot be here.

"Randolph, I—"

"Okay, okay, don't make any excuses for me anymore, I don't want to hear anything from you now, I will give you two choices, one, turn your back, I will give you nothing, As for two, don't blame me for being rude, Daisy." My wand was drawn to her neck.

The strange thing is that this time she seemed to be very brave, without any choice, without any fear. She looked at me with deep sadness in her eyes.

"Do you think I won't do that? Miss Malfoy, I advise you to choose quickly. When I help you make a choice, you will only end up with Bertha Jorkins." .”

"Actually, I don't want to say anything for myself, and I don't want to choose anything for myself. In fact, I know that this will happen sooner or later, and it will come sooner or later, but the strange thing is that I am no longer afraid, even this is up to you. To create death, I began to imagine this scene countless times, just like standing here with you now, the same night, the same wind blowing, and, the same heart.”

"What nonsense are you talking about, Daisy, I will warn you one last time, go back to where you came from, or I will be really rude." My wand was a little closer to her, and I was bound to feel like I was going to pull her away. The momentum of being scared back.

"I'm not talking nonsense. I'm wide awake, Randolph. Don't you want to know why I'm here? No, you should know, you must know."

"Okay, Daisy, what exactly do you want to say?" I put down my wand, because I decided to let her finish her dying words for the sake of my friendship over the years.

"Remember, at the end of that year, we were sitting on the roof of Hogwarts and we were talking about why none of us had mums."

"Well, yes, I still remember you said that your mother died for you."

"Yes, she did die because of me, because that year happened to be 1980. I clearly remember that it was the year when the Death Eaters were rampant. A half-blood wizard's house was blown up by the Death Eaters. My mother happened to take me through that day, and she hugged me tightly and was buried underneath, never waking up since that day. And my father, Alfred Malfoy, Abu The younger brother of Laxus Malfoy, a cowardly and pedantic man, for which my grandfather has accused him more than once of losing the spirit of the Malfoy family, which is indeed the case, and the Malfoy family is hardly seen in my father He is conservative, stubborn, and pedantic, but the only thing he did right in his life was probably my mother's death. Since then, he has refused to join the Death Eaters, even though he also dislikes mixed races, He began to be obsessed with books, all books seem to be better than everything else, you can say that he is a stubborn professor, you can also say that he is a traditional and pedantic scholar, but no matter what kind, such a person he is not He should spend his life in Azkaban."

"Then why did he go in?" I could clearly see that Daisy looked at me strangely when I finished asking this question.

"Death Eater! Because they decided he was a Death Eater! In 1981, at the Final Judgment, almost everyone said so! No one thought he was innocent, and in fact, no one was going to help him. "

"And that person should be Lucius! My father is for him! The eldest son of the Malfoy family, so I have to let my father replace him. Of course, I obtained the permanent residence in the Malfoy family for this, what a ridiculous thing After all these years, no one will remember him, and Lucius has never been there or seen him."

"Randolph, now you should know how much I hate all of this, hate Death Eaters, and I should hate you too, Lucius told me from the first day the Sorting Hat read your name, He told me who you are, and from that day I firmly remembered that name, I told myself, I should not forgive this man, he is a devil! A beast! But, but in the following seven years, I suddenly found that I couldn't do it at all, I couldn't even hate you, and I began to sadly realize that this kind of feeling that shouldn't be there is sprouting, and even, I really love you. "

Daisy didn't cry. The strength she pretended made me feel that it was more uncomfortable than crying. I held the wand in my hand and fell into hesitation and difficulty. Before that, I thought about the way to end this bad night countless times. The only thing I didn't expect was that things would unexpectedly develop in a direction I couldn't expect, and I never thought that the relationship between Daisy and I would have such a complicated side, and it was this kind of complicated feeling that vaguely became It's amazing.

I sighed from the bottom of my heart: "Miss Malfoy, it's time to end this, no matter what, just close your eyes now, and this will end."

Including all the unhappiness of tonight.I raised my wand and walked behind her, intending to give her a forgetful.

But she quickly took a few steps back: "No, you shouldn't cast the Forgetting Curse on me, as you said, let me choose, tonight, let me finish, start with me, and end with me. "

"It's up to you to end it?" I sneered, "Daisy, are you sure you want to compete with me, don't be silly, good girl, now do what I say, close your eyes, and pretend nothing happened."

"No, I don't want to compete with you, and I don't want to forget this night. On the contrary, I want to remember it, and even let you remember it. I want you to know that mistakes can't be turned back, and that kind of feeling is so powerful. Shen, I have never turned back to you."

I saw her roll up her sleeves bit by bit, until the mark on that arm was clearly reflected by the moonlight, and I was surprised to find that it was the same mark as mine, the black mark belonging to the Death Eaters. magic mark.

I love you, Randolph Marvolo Salazar Riddle.Her soft lips parted and closed in a soundless oath.

Next second: "Mor□□ordre! (Bone Reappearance)"

Her voice echoed in the night wind, and the mark on her arm began to follow the light of the magic wand and shot straight into the sky. Then, in an instant, the light exploded in the sky, and the clouds and smoke covered the top, and the black mist began to transform into a huge cloud in the air. In the shape of a snake, it spurts out from the terrifying skeleton, blooms, and roars a night, that is calling, that is swearing, that is surrendering, and also falling.

And on my arm, there was a sharp tingling and burning at the same place, so it turned out that this was the mutual induction between the Death Eaters.She looked into my eyes with a sad smile.

The girl named Daisy, many years later, I finally understood what she was going to tell me that day: a kind of loneliness that passes through seven years, she loves you, down to the dust.

The author has something to say:

Little Basket finally met his father, and then everyone will come back to abuse Harry together, let's go all the way to the dark!
