Chapter 36 The Secret of the Horcrux

The news of Harry's injury caused Angela and Dumbledore to stand up. Dumbledore left his seat and asked Professor McGonagall, "Karkaroff attacked Harry? How could it be possible according to his courage?" ?”

Dumbledore knows best what kind of person Igor Karkaroff is like. He doesn't have the guts to look at his own reputation. Attacking Harry Potter at school can completely discredit him. , and win a one-way ticket from Azkaban.

Professor McGonagall's complexion is also very bad, she hasn't seen Harry yet, it's just that someone notified her.

"No one knows exactly what happened to Harry and Karkaroff. It was Professor Moody who discovered them. Karkaroff wanted to use the death curse on Professor Moody, but Professor Moody was on the spot..."

Although Professor McGonagall didn't finish his sentence, everyone knew that Karkaroff was probably preempted by Professor Moody when he used the death curse.

This situation is very common, if the magic wand in the wizard's hand is replaced with a gun, Angela may believe it.But the difference between wizards and ordinary people is reflected in the special function of magic. Eliminating Angela's previous suspicions about Moody, she still feels that Moody has other ways to subdue him when facing Karkaroff, and Not kill him.

"Professor Moody, you say?"

Because Angela's tone was wrong, Dumbledore glanced at her, "Is there anything suspicious about Moody?"

"There are a lot of doubts, and what I doubt the most is that Moody is Barty Claus Jr." Angela looked at Dumbledore, who was clearly disbelieving, and said, "I know you have a lot of trust in Professor Moody , so you can call him to confront Karkaroff's body, and I think there will be an answer."

Dumbledore agreed to Angela's proposal. Before that, he did not put Moody among the suspects, because Moody was an old Auror with rich experience. Half of the Death Eaters in Azkaban back then He sent them in by himself, and Dumbledore thought that Barty Jr. would not take the risk of attacking such a "dangerous person".

But Dumbledore obviously chose to believe Angela. If Barty Jr. was really Moody, he should have already started to suspect something. Dumbledore asked the house elves to do it for Moody.

It's just that they couldn't wait for Moody. The house elves said that Professor Moody was not in their office, and they didn't have too much right to break into other people's rooms at will, so they could only return without success.

Angela looked at the dead Karkaroff. There was a wand left beside him. Angela was very familiar with this wand. It was obvious that it had been kept in Angela's room before. Keep it carefully.

"Karkaroff broke into my room perhaps with the help of someone, took his wand, waited for him to appear where Harry was passing by, and attacked Harry with... a cold weapon, he There was also a shallow wound on his hand, which was left by an operation error. There were obvious traces of blood on the ground, and there was a lot of blood. Although Karkaroff was injured, he did not bleed, so this blood can only belong to Harry." Ann Kira pointed to the blood stain behind Karkaroff and said.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for wizards to use cold weapons, so Angela can be sure that Karkaroff needs Harry's blood.

"Although I don't know what the blood can do, but Karkaroff collected Harry's blood. There is an obvious irregular circle in the place where the blood is the most. It should be a container. The excess blood falls from the outer wall of the container. Kaka Love stood up after getting Harry's blood. It can be seen from the traces of the blood that he had moved. It can be imagined that Karkaroff should have seen 'Professor Moody', and he didn't have the first time. Time took out his wand, but eagerly took two steps forward, as if... asking for credit."

If Karkaroff really wanted to kill Professor Moody, it would be impossible for him to take two eager steps forward, which would only shorten the distance between them and give Moody more time to react.

Angela patted the dust on her hands, and she carefully checked the bloodstains left on the scene. If Moody really met by chance, then he really came too timely, not more than one minute and not less than one minute After Karkaroff collected Harry's blood, Moody appeared before he had time to attack Harry again, and easily dealt with the former Death Eater.

"I don't think you found any blood-related containers, did you?"

The professors and students who arrived earlier than them all nodded honestly, and Dumbledore understood what Angela meant, "Do you think someone wants Harry's blood?"

What can blood do in general?Dumbledore can now give dozens of black magic to torture people, but Dumbledore thinks that rather than using blood as a medium to torture Harry, it is better to kill him directly. As for other uses, he can't think of it for the time being. .

"I think we'll find the only eyewitness—Professor Moody will understand."

Since the container containing the blood was not at the scene, it must have been taken away by someone. The first suspect is Moody. He has enough time to hide the things and call for someone. It is even more coincidental that this person is still here. The critical moment was lost.

"Hogwarts is blocked. The prefects have counted the number of people in their own colleges. It seems that there are dangerous people in our school."

Angela shrugged, now it's a game of cat and mouse, what they need to determine is where will the missing Moody hide?

"Minerva and Felius bother you to check Moody's office to see if there are any clues about Moody's disappearance, Sirius and Severus, follow me."

Dumbledore immediately assigned the task, and the onlookers immediately followed Dumbledore's order. Then Dumbledore turned to Angela and said, "Do you have any other ideas, Miss Black?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest, he won't leave Hogwarts..." Angela rubbed her chin, thinking from another perspective, what is the place they are most unlikely to check now?There is a Room of Requirement in Hogwarts, but it must be the first to be investigated. Although Dumbledore's office is suspicious, they did not meet Moody along the way.

Angela glanced down at the body of Igor Karkaroff, who was about to be taken away by Durmstrang's students, and said to Dumbledore, "Maybe we can check it from my room."

"Are you sure? I don't think he would risk hiding in your room."

Angela thought for a moment and shook her head with a smile, "The professor is just because you think he won't be here, so he..."

Before Angela finished speaking, a familiar figure appeared at the end of the corridor. He came angrily and said to Dumbledore, "I heard that you are looking for me, Albus Dumbledore?"

"Yes, my friend, we have something to ask you about Karkaroff and Harry's injury, and of course whether you are Moody."

Moody gasped and felt offended, and this was the first time Angela had direct contact with Professor Moody. She looked at the man in front of her, his fake eyeballs kept moving around, his hands kept moving. Trembling unconsciously, like the expression of anger after being suspected by a trusted friend.

"You even suspect me?! But you ask, I won't tell you that my name is Barty Crouch Jr."

Angela: ...

Dumbledore:  …

Snape Sirius:  …

Moody, it should not be said that Barty Crouch Jr. took out his wand from his arms immediately after knowing that he had said something wrong, but Dumbledore was faster than him. He held the wand in his hand when he approached, and he stood sideways in front of Angela, and with a flick of the wand, little Barty was sent flying.

Sirius and Professor Snape also took out their wands and aimed at the man. Sirius licked the corner of his mouth and smiled, "It looks like Polyjuice Potion."

"My office was stolen by you, Barty Crouch Jr."

Little Barty laughed as he was pointed at by two wands, "Severus Snape, the master always thought you were very smart, but I thought you were blinded by love and hatred at the same time, how sad it is, It's a pity that the master went to Potter's house in person that night, if it was me, I would definitely torture Lily Potter slowly."

Snape clenched little Barty's collar, he gritted his teeth and looked at the man, "If I can use the Unforgivable Curse, I will make your life worse than death."

Dumbledore had already come to them at this time, Angela followed Dumbledore and suddenly said, "Your appearance like this is completely illogical, Barty Crouch Jr. You should know that we are looking for you, Why did you take the initiative to sacrifice yourself?"

Little Barty gritted his teeth and then opened his mouth uncontrollably, "Because I want to attract your attention to me, I want to protect my master, as long as you catch me, you won't suspect me And hid others in the school."

There was only one person that Barty Jr. could call master, and that was Voldemort. Dumbledore's face darkened, so they didn't know that Voldemort was in Hogwarts.

Dumbledore probably knew when Voldemort came to Hogwarts. Barty Jr. used the house elf Winky to bring him in and hid him. No wonder "Moody" was very mysterious during that time of.

"Where is Voldemort?"

Barty Jr. bit his tongue, and Sirius opened his mouth quickly, and Barty Jr., whose mouth was full of blood, said vaguely: "The room of the squib, the master is waiting for me for the time being, the master will immediately can be revived."

What a crazy idea to resurrect Voldemort.

Dumbledore couldn't let a bomb like Voldemort be in his school, so the top priority was to solve Voldemort's affairs. As for Barty Crouch Jr., he asked Sirius and Snape to temporarily guard him. The danger and cunning are not to be taken lightly.

And Dumbledore took Angela to meet his "good" student.

Angela did not expect that she would face Voldemort one day, but with Dumbledore taking the initiative to act as a shield, Angela was not afraid of the legendary Dark Lord.

Pushing open the door of Angela's room, there was an obvious sound of breathing on the sofa facing away from them, and then a hoarse voice came, "Little Barty?"

"You're wrong, Tom."

"Dumbledore, Dumbledore... old Dumbledore, sure enough, that idiot Barty Jr. screwed up everything."

Voldemort has not turned his back to their sofa from their appearance until now, Angela poked her head out from behind Dumbledore's tall figure, and she found from the shadow that the so-called Voldemort sitting on the sofa had no legs. No, the shadow cast on the floor looked very strange, and the one sitting there seemed to be a puppet.

"Tom, why did you come back here?"

"Because those bloody Muggles got Wormtail, my servant, without him I'd just sit here and not even move!"

Voldemort's voice sounded a little manic, and Angela heard the sound of fingernails rubbing against the glass, which made Angela have some thoughts in her mind. Harry's blood should be taken away in a glass container. They did not find the relevant vessel on Crouch, so the precious blood was in Voldemort's hands.

"You need Harry's blood, it's so precious to you that you keep holding it in your hand."

Voldemort didn't expect that there was a third person in the room. He heard the voice of a young girl brought by Dumbledore. He immediately recognized Angela's identity, "You are that half-breed Squib."

Mixed blood is relative to pure blood in the magic world. There are many supporters of pure blood in the magic world, such as Patriarch Black, Patriarch Malfoy, etc., and Voldemort pursues the supremacy of pure blood. He rejects all Muggles, Muggle-born wizards and squibs, no matter what kind of identity Angela is, Voldemort rejects the most.

"You are a helper invited by Dumbledore. The wizarding world is really getting more and more depraved. You even asked a squib living in the Muggle world to help you."

Voldemort's voice was full of hatred, and he continued, "Yes, Harry Potter's blood is very important to me. When the same blood flows in our bodies, his mudblood mother's blood is very important to me. Damn magic is useless to me, I can touch Harry casually without being repelled."

Angela blinked. She had never heard of this kind of operation. She had read about Harry from some books in the wizarding world. Some books only mentioned the reason why the one-year-old Harry killed Voldemort. It is because of the backlash of Voldemort's magic. In addition to the backlash of magic, there is also Lily Potter's guardian magic.

"I've always had a question, why Harry?"

Angela made a gesture to Dumbledore. They can't act rashly now. She pointed to Voldemort's shadow. From the shadow, it was obvious that Voldemort had a wand in his hand. If they turned to face Voldemort, the next second would be Hit by the legendary Death Curse, so all they need to do is find a chance, a chance for Voldemort to relax.

"Because he's half-breed like me, and the prophecy has two children but I chose Harry because we're the same. It turns out we do have a connection, and that connection was made by his mudblood mother." , she destroyed my body, but she also destroyed Harry, who is the vessel of my precious soul."

Voldemort had already sensed something was wrong at this time. These should have been secrets, about his blood reviving device, but he couldn't control his mouth, as if he was going to pour out all the secrets.

Angela felt that the amount of information was a bit large. First of all, Voldemort was a half-blood. A guy who hated half-bloods and Muggles supported the supremacy of pure blood turned out to be a half-blood. The other was that Harry was the container of Voldemort's soul.Dumbledore and Angela looked at each other, obviously Dumbledore didn't know about it either.

"What did you do, Tom?"

"It was an accident. He wasn't the Horcrux I wanted to choose at first, but it's not bad. The wizarding world won't kill Harry Potter. You won't let him die like that Dumbledore, as long as I live as long as Harry lives."

Voldemort let out a weird laugh. It was completely accidental that Harry Potter would become a Horcrux. When he was rebounded by Lily Potter's protection spell, his body completely exploded, and his soul was torn apart. Just like that, it merged into the body of the only living person in the room, and that person was Harry Potter.

"You made a Horcrux?!"

"Surprised, Dumbledore, I am the second person in wizard history to create a Horcrux, or even multiple Horcruxes."

Dumbledore felt that he made the right choice not to attack Voldemort immediately, and this was the first time he had heard of these secrets.

The so-called horcrux is a very powerful magic weapon in black magic. It can separate part of a person's soul and hide it in something other than the body. When the body is attacked and destroyed, the separated soul is still alive. The death of the soul, the more Horcruxes, it means immortality. Sooner or later, a soul will wake up, gain strength and be resurrected.

"How many Horcruxes have you made, Mr. Tom Riddle?"

Angela's voice came from behind Dumbledore. This was the last message Dumbledore wanted to ask. He thought that Voldemort had relaxed his vigilance, and this was the best time to subdue him.

"Barty Crouch Jr. has always said that you are a special Squib. I think I understand it. There are seven Horcruxes including Harry Potter. You are inducing me to tell my secret, Squib! Can't stop, can't even hit you with a wand." Voldemort didn't pause at all, it was just that he was talking in a confused way.

Next, he explained those Horcruxes one by one. The snake was the only living thing besides Harry, and the rest were lifeless treasures that were distributed in different places.

Dumbledore had pointed his wand at Voldemort, Angela also pulled out a pistol from behind and opened the safety, Voldemort's fingernails snapped on the bottle in his hand, he was more anxious than before, it should be the same as the secret exposure In the next second, he used a magic spell to turn the sofa he was sitting on.

"Avada—"

"Except your weapons!"

Dumbledore was already on guard, so his speed was one step faster than Voldemort who was turning the sofa. Voldemort's wand flew to the side, and Dumbledore pointed his wand at Voldemort who couldn't be called a human being on the chair with a serious face.Voldemort was still wearing a black robe, but his whole body was like a deformed baby. His long fingers barely held the small container. The container was bright red, and it was conceivable that it was filled with Harry's blood. , There is not even a little flesh on his body, it is all bones.

Voldemort didn't panic even without his wand in his hand, he just stared at Dumbledore and Angela behind Dumbledore with his bulging eyes.

"You lost Tom."

Voldemort laughed grimly, "You are wrong, Dumbledore, very wrong."

On the other side, Sirius and Snape watched over Barty Crouch Jr., waiting for the Ministry of Magic to accept him, but Barty Crouch Jr., who was sitting there obediently, suddenly laughed, laughing crazily , Sirius frowned and said to Little Barty: "What are you laughing at?!"

"I laugh at you two being stupid."

In the next second, Barty Jr. suddenly summoned Winky, and before Sirius and Snape could react, the elf called Winky grabbed Barty Jr. by the corner of his clothes and disappeared in place.

This is Barty Jr.'s last trump card. After he knew that Winky had become a house-elf at Hogwarts, he secretly made a new contract with Winky. By the way, he also extracted Winky's related memories. This ensures that Shining can break free from all shackles and come to him in the first second.

Little Barty knew that Dumbledore and Angela went to find his master, so he now needs to take Voldemort to a safe place immediately, and then resurrect Voldemort.

He now felt that it was a huge mistake not to let Karkaroff kill Harry Potter. Harry Potter had only suffered minor injuries and was said to be able to leave the hospital in a few hours.

When Barty Jr. and Winky appeared, Dumbledore waved his wand, and Angela also pulled the trigger. Unfortunately, Dumbledore's magic didn't hit Barty Jr. or Voldemort. They watched Voldemort disappear into the before their eyes.

After they fled, Angela stepped forward to check the sofa that Voldemort had just sat on. There was a bullet embedded in the back of the back, and there was a lot of blood by the way.

Her bullet hit Voldemort and passed through Voldemort's chest.

"If it's the magic of resurrection, the injury won't affect anything, but it can always make Tom quiet for a while."

Dumbledore looked a few years older, and Voldemort's resurrection seemed to be a fact at this moment.

The old fox knew that Fudge would not admit the news of Voldemort's return, and Fudge was terrified of any news about Voldemort, so Dumbledore decided to find another comrade in arms, and this comrade was the Muggle ruler who was eyeing him - Mycroft. Holmes.

At the same time, Dumbledore also knew that the affairs of the Hogwarts Death Eaters had come to an end. It was time to return the "treasure" they borrowed, and then they would usher in the most chaotic moment. Karkaroff's Death, Voldemort's resurrection, and the unfinished Triwizard Tournament gave Dumbledore a headache.

He glanced at the little Angela beside him, "Miss Black, I need to talk to your boss, I hope you can lead the way."

By the way, Dumbledore also wants to talk about Angela. Angela accidentally injured Voldemort and knew so many secrets. According to Voldemort's character, he will definitely solve Angela first after his comeback. .Angela needs to take refuge somewhere out of the reach of Voldemort's claws until Voldemort fails again.

Dumbledore met Mycroft three days later, and expressed all his thoughts in front of Angela in a friendly manner. He agreed with Dumbledore's proposal and the two reached some verbal agreements. According to the agreement, Mycroft friendly said that he would not cause too much harm to the magic world, he was just not used to some things out of his grasp.

After sending Dumbledore away, Mycroft asked Angela to stay.

"I have already arranged a trip for you. The location is the United States. A friend of mine will meet you there. The United States is an area temporarily out of reach of Moriarty and what you call Voldemort. For you It’s pretty safe.”

Mycroft pushed out the plane ticket.

"America? A place where superheroes fly around?"

In Angela's mind, the United States is equal to all kinds of superheroes flying around, just like Torchwood and Doctor Who will come to mind when referring to Britain.

Mycroft, "I think you'll enjoy it."
