Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 976 Unreliable Assassination

   "Still can't find anyone?"

  Lucius Malfoy's voice was very cold, and there was unconcealable anger in his eyes. He stared coldly at Peter Pettigrew, wishing he could just pull out his wand and teach the trash in front of him a lesson.

  Peter Pettigrew is such a waste that he can't even find anyone.

"I really can't blame me for this." Peter Pettigrew is still trying to defend himself, "Reporters from the Spanish Ministry of Magic want to interview him, but no one knows where his temporary foothold is, and we just arrived here, and the time is too short Now, those ways of finding people you mentioned don't work at all."

  Peter has been busy for half a day, and it's really not his problem that he couldn't find the Mudblood's place to live!

   "...waste!"

  Lucius Malfoy was so angry that he gritted his teeth, pointed his wand at Peter tremblingly, and accidentally shot a spark, which scorched Peter's clothes.

   "It's really not our problem. The plan is too rushed. We didn't even figure out the current situation, let alone arrange the plan." Selwyn also tried to defend himself. He didn't want to take the blame at all.

  Lucius Malfoy was unable to complete the task of the Dark Lord. Doesn't it mean that the two of them were really useless before, but that the enemy was too difficult to deal with.

   "The language barrier between the two parties is also a big problem." Peter Pettigrew muttered in a low voice.

  Currently the best way is to find the place where the Mudblood is temporarily living, and then sneak someone into the other's temporary residence, kill him in the temporary residence, and then pat his **** and leave Spain, the mission is over.

  Although this method is simple and crude, it is undoubtedly the best method that can be thought of at present, but...the problem now is that they still can't find the temporary residence of the Mudblood, and no one knows where he lives.

  If the simplest and most effective method does not work, then we have to find another way.

   According to the idea, since Albert couldn't find where to hide, he had to ambush him at the game site. As long as Albert intends to continue to participate in the International Wizarding Duel Competition, he must show up at the competition. As long as he appears, their chance will come.

   It’s just that there are many Aurors in charge of maintaining order in the duel competition, and it’s a bit difficult to assassinate a contestant.

   Unless… there is a deadly suicide attack.

  However, they have no idea when Albert will appear, and the players and the audience will not have much contact with each other, so the probability of success of this so-called assassination plan is still not high.

   "I think we should ambush him on the day of the final." Pettigrew Peter suggested: "We can have more time to make arrangements..."

"What if the Mudblood loses the match, or doesn't go to the match at all on the third day?" Lucius Malfoy asked rhetorically, "Didn't you listen to Severus? Dumbledore could persuade him at any time." He gave up and continued the game."

   Malfoy didn't know Albert, and the wizards who dared to participate in the International Wizarding Duel Competition were not weak, not to mention there was Dumbledore, he felt that the mudblood had a high probability of being persuaded by Dumbledore.

  That old man is really good at persuading others.

   "I don't think he'll lose," Peter Pettigrew muttered under his breath.

  Although he doesn't want to admit it, Peter Pettigrew thinks that Albert has a chance to win the duel competition. Even if the other party uses conspiracy to defeat Barty Jr., the guy who can subdue a fire dragon alone will not be weak anyway.

  At least, Peter Pettigrew thinks that none of them can do this alone, and it's hard to say whether they have that kind of courage.

"We need more help." Selwyn suddenly suggested, "Spain is too unfamiliar to us. We need to contact the local dark wizards to see if we can recruit them. Maybe they will be impressed by the Dark Lord." interest. Or, let them serve us, and hire them with Galleons if necessary."

"You can deal with this matter, and it's best to get it done within half an hour." Lucius Malfoy stared at Selwyn for a while, and finally agreed to his plan, "It's best to find a local snake who can speak English to help you. We save a lot of trouble, you can give him 50 Galleons a day, not 100 Galleons."

   Malfoy suspected that Selwyn had actually found someone, and he just wanted to get some money from him, but he didn't really care much about it.

   When they first arrived in Spain, they had no time to collect information at all, and now they are considered blind, so he simply agreed with Selwyn to find local snakes to cooperate, and threw out "heavy money".

  As long as the other party is worth the price, Malfoy doesn't mind the Galleons, and the Galleons that can help them complete the task are nothing.

good for everyone.

  If it's not worth it, then let the other party disappear.

  Actually, Lucius Malfoy also wanted to offer money to put a bounty on Albert's head in the black market, but he felt that this approach was not very reliable, at least he could not see the possibility of success in a short time.

   "If you want me to say, don't be so troublesome, find a way to sneak into the stadium, and then find an opportunity to use Avada Kedavra on that Mudblood." Peter suggested before Selwyn left.

   Simple proposal.

   As for planning to fail?

   Malfoy is responsible for this matter, so what does failure have to do with them?

   At most, it is a penalty.

   Neither Selwyn nor Peter actually wanted to continue to trouble Albert, because various deeds showed that the guy was more difficult than expected.

   "Who is going to assassinate him, you go?"

Lucius Malfoy saw through the careful thinking of the two of them at a glance, and sneered, "What about the tickets? I asked someone just now. All the tickets are sold out. Even if you want to find someone to buy them, the price is not cheap, and It’s hard to say whether we can find a front row seat.”

  This bad idea is impossible to succeed at all, it will only expose their purpose to scare the snake.

   Or, they don't expect to succeed at all.

   "We can let those dark wizards assassinate him, and we can give him a sum of Galleons." Peter said without thinking: "At that time, we will help create chaos and let that guy use the Portkey to escape."

"Creating chaos, you sound good!" Malfoy's facial expression was almost distorted, but he had inquired about it. Every year, the international wizard duel competition is very closely guarded, and there are a large number of Aurors patrolling, trying to create chaos. It's not that easy.

   This group of guys take it for granted!

   Moreover, this opportunity is only once, once it fails, there will be no more.

   Lucius Malfoy suddenly understood how Selwyn and Pettigrew Peter had failed before.

   "It's **** if this works."

   "What can you do?"

   Selwyn and Peter Pettigrew looked at Malfoy together, and stopped expressing their opinions.

"Wait for the news first. If we're lucky, Avery may bring us good news, and we need more help to find your local snake." Malfoy was very irritable. Not reliable yet.

   Avery was also unreliable and didn't bring them any good news.

   But the guy Selwyn paid to be more reliable, as they revealed where the other players and spectators lived: Barnabus Bar.

   Well, it's never been a secret to wizards who have settled in Spain that out-of-town patrons like to take a break at Barnabus because it's clean and safe.

   "If we pretend to be contestants and mix in, we may not be able to meet that Mudblood." Avery disagrees with this unreliable approach, "Also, I doubt whether we can defeat each other in a duel."

  He heard about Barty Crouch Jr. from Snape.

"I mean we can use the Imperius Curse to control them and let them use Avada Kedavra on that mudblood. Although the chances of failure are equally high, at least... we can kill him. Our mission is to kill him anyway. That Mudblood." Goyle's suggestion was equally unreliable, and in fact, if Malfoy hadn't asked him to talk about his own suggestion, he wouldn't have wanted to speak at all.

   "We can go together. Anyway, it doesn't seem strange if a dark wizard kills people suddenly." Crabbe also thinks that the plan should be simple, so as not to be prone to accidents.

  As long as they kill that Mudblood, it doesn't matter what the process is, as long as the sacrifice is not their own, they can accept it.

"We'd better make a few more preparations." Malfoy agreed, "but I think the Imperius Curse is very unreliable. Generally, the wizards who can participate in the duel competition are not weak, especially those dark wizards who want to control A dark wizard's words..."

  After everyone discussed, the assassination plan was finally decided, mainly because time was running out.

  At this moment, Lucius Malfoy felt that he must be crazy to agree to such an unreliable plan.

   A group of people went to Barnabus Bar in batches to find their targets.

  The plan was very unsuccessful. It can only be said that none of the dark wizards who dare to participate in the duel competition are simple, at least they are good at saving their lives.

When Malfoy and his group broke into the room and tried to subdue each other, a melee broke out between the two sides. A big hole was blown into the wall of the guest room, and there was a lot of commotion. Two people on Malfoy's side were shot In the end, he could only escape in embarrassment before other people surrounded him.

  However, the weirdest thing is that the plan did not fail completely.

  Peter Pettigrew took advantage of everyone's attention being attracted by the chaos created by Malfoy and others, and secretly controlled a contestant.

   It can only be said that Peter Pettigrew has done a lot of things like this over the years.

  Although he is not a dark wizard, at least it is better than nothing.

   It can be regarded as successfully saving the last bit of face.

   "I think this guy is resisting my Imperius Curse." Peter Pettigrew stared at the middle-aged wizard in front of him, and reminded his surrounding partners, "We can't let him compete like this, otherwise the plan is likely..."

  Peter didn’t say the latter words, but the meaning is obvious. It’s best to find someone to pretend to be him and go in to attack Anderson. "

   "No one wants to take risks," Malfoy sneered, "Or, you go."

   "You can use Galleon to offer a reward, and let him carry the portkey. After he succeeds, use the predetermined time to escape with the portkey." Peter gave Malfoy an idea, anyway, he couldn't take the risk.

   This is the method that Barty Crouch Jr. came up with. It is said that Potter slipped away from the Dark Lord's nose in this way, and the success rate is obviously not low.

  In the end, there really was a greedy fool who was willing to take the risk of assassinating that Mudblood, but he offered five thousand Galleons for his life, and he had to get half of it first.

  The price was eventually suppressed by Malfoy to 3,000 Galleons. After all, he had to risk his life. No matter whether he succeeded or not, the chance of successfully getting the money was not high. "

  Of course, compared to the price that the Dark Lord bought the giant, three thousand Galleons was considered cheap, at least the probability of success of the plan was not low.

  …

   At the same time, members of the Order of the Phoenix were also on the move. They had rushed to Spain not long ago after receiving the news from Snape, trying to prevent the Death Eaters from murdering Albert.

  With the help of Dumbledore, the Order of the Phoenix got three tickets by chance.

   "Is Mr. Anderson really not going to give up?"

  Kingsley's face was gloomy, and he didn't understand why Albert was so stubborn. Isn't his own life important?

   "He told us not to worry, saying that he predicted that he would win the duel competition." Lupine smiled wryly at the others in the room.

   "I don't think we need to worry about him at all. By the way, who of you wants to bet?" Sirius reminded with a smile, "This is a good opportunity to make a lot of money."

   "What a good opportunity?" Arthur thought he had heard it wrong.

   "Stop messing with Sirius," said Lupine, frowning.

   "Of course it is to suppress Albert to win the duel championship!" Sirius said naturally.

   "Sirius." Mad-Eye stared at Black.

"Who is joking with you?" Sirius curled his lips and said, "Albert cherishes life more than you, how could he risk his own life? Since he dared to participate in the duel competition, he must have the confidence to protect himself. Dare to say that even without our help, he can still solve all the troubles, otherwise he would have run away long ago, do you really think he will stay and die?"

   Of course Sirius is confident, because Albert just asked the house elf to send him 1500 Galleons, asking him to bet on him to win the final championship.

   As a reward for holding back, Albert told him that Pettigrew Peter is also in Spain, and this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to deal with Pettigrew Peter.

   "You seem to know him very well." Tonks asked curiously.

   "I don't really understand, but I have worked with him, and that guy is more cunning than you expected."

   "Who is going?"

   "I'll forget it, let Tonks and Kingsley go." Sirius said quickly, "They are Aurors, so they must be better at disguising."

   "Lupin, you come with me, we can trouble the Death Eaters."

   "Do you know where the Death Eaters are?" Mad-Eye looked suspiciously at Sirius.

"I don't know, but I know where Peter is." Sirius smiled brightly, and several people around felt a chill, and they could feel the cold killing intent from Sirius' smile, "I think he must be with the food. The Dead Apostles are together, if we are lucky enough, we may be able to deal with that rat, this time, don't stop me from killing him."
