Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 978 The Death of Wormtail

   It's a matter of talk, but the current situation is actually a situation that Albert facilitated and is willing to see.

   If he didn't know that the Death Eaters didn't have enough time to set up dangerous traps for him, Albert really wouldn't have rushed to participate in the International Wizards Duel Competition.

Although he is not afraid of the Death Eaters, he is afraid of being plotted against. Obviously, he can't expect the Death Eaters to fight him one-on-one. Even Gryffindor would Not so reckless.

   Oh, maybe Harry Potter will, the savior is really on top, anything can happen.

Right now, Albert's safety is not a problem. He lives in a simple place and doesn't leave any chance for the Death Eaters at all, so even if the Death Eaters want to kill him, they have to take risks, and the success rate of taking risks is usually low. Gao, the thinking is also very unpredictable, and Albert planted spies in the Death Eaters team, so how could he be recruited? Isn't it good to direct and perform tasks to earn experience?

  The Imperius Curse, which has been upgraded to the fourth level, and its own strong magical power, it is really not difficult to control a person in a short period of time without being seen by the other party.

   Unless Voldemort came to kill him himself, there was really nothing that could threaten Albert's life.

  Of course, even if Voldemort does emerge, Albert is confident that he can protect himself.

  Yes... Is such a thing possible?

   It's almost negligible, does the Dark Lord not want to lose face?

   Now is obviously not the time for Voldemort to be exposed. Albert has already figured this out before he dared to come to participate in the International Wizarding Duel Competition.

  As for the Death Eaters who are not prepared enough, they really don't pose much of a threat.

Just now, Albert easily found the dark wizards scattered around the gymnasium through the Human Tracking Curse, because the barrier to expel Muggles had already been launched, and the surrounding Muggles had been emptied by the Spanish Ministry of Magic, so there would be no trouble at all. Melon stays here, and the Ministry of Magic employees and Aurors who are in charge of patrolling actually have their own fixed patrol range.

  The remaining wizards who were active around the gymnasium were, of course, mostly Death Eaters and members of the Order of the Phoenix.

   To be honest, the Human Tracking Charm is a very practical spell, and it is not easy for others to detect and guard against it. Even if you want to block it, it is very difficult.

At this moment, the black wizard Carter is rushing towards the five people who are "in command" and led the Order of the Phoenix group over by the way. I don't know what the group of the Order of the Phoenix are doing, but they haven't looked for them until now. For the trouble of the last five people, Albert was going to give them a push.

  However, what Albert didn't know was that Sirius and his group were now in a daze. They had already found Peter Pettigrew's whereabouts through Mad-Eye's magic eyes, but the current situation was a bit weird.

   Originally distributed around the gymnasium, all the Death Eater minions responsible for creating and causing chaos were all quietly set aside. This is so strange no matter how you look at it.

   "This guy's name is Sang Xi. He's been hanging out in Fangfa Alley all year round. He likes to do some shady things. That guy really won over this group of scumbags."

Mad-Eye Moody recognized the identity of the man in front of him at a glance, and speculated as an Auror for many years, "Judging from his facial expression and the direction he fell, he should have been attacked from behind, and there is no fight left here. The traces are the best proof. In other words, this person was brought down before he even had time to react."

   "That Mr. Anderson did it, but isn't he still participating in the International Wizarding Duel Competition?"

   Everyone couldn't figure out who stunned them.

   The unknown is scary.

  Especially knowing that someone was hiding in the dark and staring at them, it made everyone feel even more uneasy.

  Even the elite Aurors of the Ministry of Magic couldn't defeat so many people quietly without leaving any trace of the battle.

   "I'm sure Anderson did it, how exactly, who knows? And, does it matter?"

Sirius is really very confident in Albert, and he doesn't want to care about who did this kind of thing now, because this kind of thing is not important at all. In Sirius' view, killing Peter Pettigrew will complete the relationship with Albert. Special agreement is the most important.

  If Moody hadn't said that there were other wizards beside Peter, Sirius would have killed him alone, so how could he waste his time here.

   "Okay, don't be suspicious, let's go find Peter."

   "What if it's a Death Eater plot?" Lupine said, frowning, although he also felt that the possibility was not high.

   "The Death Eaters have just arrived, and they are even later than us, so there are so many plots." Sirius said impatiently, "Anyway, Peter must die today."

   "Don't be rash, Sirius."

"I believe in my intuition more, and I don't intend to lose such a good opportunity. If you want to avenge James, follow up, or don't stop me." Sirius stuffed the last Felician into his mouth Inside, go straight outside, he has had enough of these people's procrastination.

   Conspiracies, where are there so many conspiracies.

   If it is really a big conspiracy, Albert slipped away earlier, how could he be here.

   "Why did Mr. Anderson help Sirius kill Peter Pettigrew?" Emmeline Vance asked curiously, "Do they have any hatred?"

   "Because Peter Pettigrew wanted to kill him too." Lupine recalled the news Snape brought back to them, and speculated, "As for the reason, it's probably because Peter was caught by Albert."

   "I think Peter Pettigrew went to his house!"

  Arthur felt that he had guessed the reason. If someone wanted to harm his family, he would probably also want to kill him.

   "There is a situation, it seems that someone is coming, hurry up."

  Mad-Eye suddenly interrupted the low-pitched conversation of several people, urging them to act quickly.

  At this moment, not only the members of the Order of the Phoenix were at a loss, but the five-person group in charge of "commanding" also stared at the pocket watch in their hands with astonishment.

How can it be!

   No one actually carried out the plan, did they lose the chain collectively?

  They didn't intend to attack the gymnasium, but to create some chaos outside. After the chaos was done, they could escape, and there would be no danger to their lives.

   But, what is going on now?

   What about the smoke?

   What about the sound?

   What about the explosion?

   Nothing at all, it was eerily quiet outside.

  As long as the five people are not fools, they can all realize that the situation is not good. It is impossible for everyone to lose the chain collectively. Obviously, what happened?

  Could it be members of the Order of the Phoenix playing tricks.

  However, even if the members of the Order of the Phoenix want to collectively subdue the dark wizards scattered around the gymnasium, it is by no means an easy task. They don't believe that someone can subdue the group of guys under them without making any movement.

  After much hesitation, the five of them were still going to go out together to check the situation outside. They had to find out what happened outside.

  If you are scared away like this, God knows what punishment you will get when you go back.

  However, before they could go out, there was a hasty knock on the door outside.

  The five people looked at each other in blank dismay, and raised their wands to aim at the entrance of the gate.

"who!"

   "It's me, Carter. The plan is over. Mr. Malfoy asked me to notify you to leave as soon as possible." Carter's cold voice came from outside the door.

   "The plan succeeded?" Peter Pettigrew asked warily.

"I don't know, I successfully used the Avada Kedavra Curse, but I don't know whether the Mudblood died or not, because I was stunned by the Auror at the time, and I escaped with the Portkey." It’s a catastrophe, you’d better withdraw to England as soon as possible according to the original plan, don’t let the Spanish Aurors get blocked, those guys seem to be offended, anyway, I have notified you, so I will leave first.”

"etc!"

"What's up?"

  The door was opened from the inside, and Selwyn frowned and asked, "Did you see anyone else when you came from outside?"

"Others? No, I was just wondering why you guys are so quiet here. I thought you would help me create chaos according to the original plan." Carter couldn't help complaining, "If you can attract the group of Aurors, I won't be stunned."

"It's not our fault. The others didn't create chaos as planned." Avery looked around, but after confirming that there was no one around, he turned to Carter and said, "Come with us to check the situation. I remember a few guys It's very close to us."

   When a few people rushed over, they found that the wizard responsible for releasing the smoke had already been clearly divided and fell unconscious on the ground.

  A few people just felt cold, even when facing the dementors, they had never felt this feeling.

   "He just passed out. It is likely that a member of the Order of the Phoenix did it. Be careful around." Selwyn bent down to check the man's condition, and found that the man was just knocked down by the stun spell, and immediately sounded the alarm.

   However, it was too late.

  A bunch of spells flew towards them, and the two guarding outside were directly hit by the spells, and fell unconscious on the ground.

   "Damn it!"

  Peter Pettigrew regretted why he didn't leave immediately, especially after seeing two old friends, Sirius Black and Remus Lupine, appearing.

   Just as Peter Pettigrew was about to leave the others and flee directly, there was an explosion around him, throwing all their bodies away.

  When Peter struggled to get up from the ground and shook his head vigorously, Sirius, Lupine, Mad-Eye and other members of the Order of the Phoenix had already rushed towards this side before he could Apparate.

  Whether it is the timing of the shot or the strength is quite amazing, Sirius actually successfully delayed the time for Pettigrew Peter and other Death Eaters to escape.

   "Old man, long time no see."

  Sirius raised his hand, smiled and waved to Pettigrew Peter, like an old buddy who just met him and never met again.

   It's just that the smile on Sirius' face made Peter feel creepy.

No one cares about dead people. Sirius Black looks at Pettigrew Peter now, as if he was looking at a dead person. The smile on his face is obviously not because he saw the old man, but because he knew his old man Going to apologize to James and Lily soon.

"Sirius!"

  Peter Pettigrew screamed. He looked at the people in front of him in fear, and without any hesitation, he pressed the Dark Mark on his arm, trying to summon the mysterious person to save the scene.

   "Okay, I won't talk about the past, James and Lily are still waiting for you, don't make them wait!" Sirius smiled and raised his wand, using Avada Kedavra on Peter Pettigrew.

  Green lights of death pass over the head of Petit Peter, who turns into a mouse and tries to slip away in Animagus form.

  However, how could Sirius let the enemy slip away in front of him?

  He waved his wand and pulled Peter Pettigrew back who was trying to escape.

  At this moment, the battle in the room had already begun, or it could not even be called a battle, and the few people who were outnumbered were subdued.

"I originally wanted you to die with dignity so that James and Lily wouldn't recognize you." The smile on Sirius' face became brighter, "However, since you intend to die as a beast, then go to hell!"

   "Don't kill me, don't kill me, it wasn't my fault, I was forced to do it too." Peter lifted the Animagus from its transformation and returned to its original appearance.

  Unfortunately, his pleading did not bring any sympathy.

  There were only Lupine's indifferent face and Sirius' piercing smile.

   He has waited too long for this day.

"Avada Kedavra!"

  Sirius raised his wand, and directly gave Peter Pettigrew an Avada Kedavra.

  After being hit by the green light of death, the fear on Peter Pettigrew's face completely froze, and his eyes lost their expression. His body fell back and fell heavily on the ground.

he died!

   Killed by Avada Kedavra.

  Before he died, Peter Pettigrew was still begging.

   Slaying the enemy with his hands, Sirius suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so hard that the tears in the corners of his eyes were about to come out. He...finally helped James, Lily and Harry take revenge with his own hands.

   "Are you okay!" Lupine asked worriedly.

"good, very good."

   "What should we do with these guys?" Dedalus Diggle rolled his eyes at the Death Eaters who had been knocked down, and suggested, "Why don't we kill them together, and save them from coming out to harm people."

   "Leave it to them, maybe the prison is where they should stay." Mad-Eye turned his magic eyes, and found that some Aurors had sensed something was wrong here, and they were quickly coming here.

   "It's time to withdraw, by the way, this is still missing..."

  Sirius went to the window and released a Dark Mark towards the sky above the gymnasium, "Guess how the Daily Prophet will report this."

   A few minutes later, the Aurors from the Spanish Ministry of Magic rushed to the scene, fully displaying the fine traditions, and successfully captured a group of downed dark wizards.

   Of course, for their own merit, the Aurors didn't tell the truth.

   Not long after, Albert received official news that the Spanish Ministry of Magic found the dark wizard who tried to murder him, and they also rescued the kidnapped hapless guy.

  So, it was an imposter who tried to assassinate Albert.

  In order to shirk their own responsibility, this matter is defined as Death Eaters trying to assassinate Albert Anderson, the reason is naturally that they don't want to see a Muggle wizard become a dueling champion.
