Hogwarts' Natural Magic

Chapter 227 Death Eaters Gathering

"Master...this is the Fantasy Game World Cup being held at the Oude family." A short wizard wore a black wizard robe. The strange wizard with a tired face held a healthy baby wrapped in soft leather, looking left and right, and cautiously shuttled back and forth. Among the playful pedestrians, there were too many people coming for this game, and all kinds of street vendors rushed here from thousands of miles away to start business.

"Don't look around, fool, aren't there enough Aurors here!" Voldemort's voice came from the baby's body.

Voldemort killed another person, this time it was a baby. He peeled off the baby's healthy skin and put it on his own dry and weak body to hide the smell of dark magic and also escape the inspection of the surrounding Aurors.

"Damn it, when did the Ministry of Magic perform its duties like this? It's ridiculous." Voldemort's voice roared in Peter's mind, startling Peter.

"I heard that Oded gave the Ministry of Magic a lot of prestige and asked Fudge to be the opening guest. That's why so many Aurors were sent."

"Hmph..." Voldemort didn't say anything more about it, but instead said, "What about little Barty, it's been so long, and he hasn't called me once."

Voldemort narrowed his eyes and looked dissatisfiedly at the stadium in the distance.

"I can feel him here, still weak, and I think his father must have done something to him."

"Ah, Barty Crouch, he should be controlled by our Imperius Curse..."

"Stupid!" Voldemort sneered when he heard Peter's arrogant words: "Just the two of you, even if you have some skills, you will not be Barty Crouch's opponent. In the hands of other people, it won’t have much effect.”

A wizard with a strong will is always annoying.

Voldemort narrowed his eyes, thinking about how he should destroy the Ode family, in order to threaten Bree to hand over his father's bones and let him complete the resurrection.

What is certain is that he cannot do this himself, otherwise he is not sure whether there will be any accidents in this opportunity. You know, he doesn't have a Horcrux in his hands now.

Nagini!
I feel you are here, but why don't you come in front of me? Have you betrayed me too?

"I'm going to put fear in here..."

Voldemort's voice gradually dissipated in Peter's mind, and he fell asleep like a real baby. Peter did not dare to be careless and quickly found a place to hide.

After Voldemort and Peter left the noisy and lively streets, they didn't know that Tom had been observing them from a distance.

"Hiss..." Voldemort...

Nagini was nestled in Tom's pocket, and a breath-blocking spell enveloped Nagini to prevent Voldemort from discovering the clues.

"Hiss, hiss..." His breath was broken.

Nagini has lost contact with Voldemort. As time goes by, the remaining disconnected connections have made it difficult for the two to notice each other. If Nagini hadn't had a sharp perception in the body of a snake, she would have missed Voldemort's existence.

"interesting…"

"I have to kill you, Voldemort!" Tom narrowed his eyes. If Voldemort saw him, his identity would probably be exposed. He couldn't accept this possibility!
……

Tom hid, and the Aurors received the news that a dark wizard had sneaked into the competition venue, and began to investigate secretly, even at night, leaving Peter, who had a suspicious identity, very embarrassed and could only go out in the body of a mouse to inquire about the situation.

Early the next morning, in the sewer——

"Don't worry, you idiot!"

"Have you sent out those invitation letters?"

Peter respectfully lay at Voldemort's feet, and said humbly: "It's been sent out, are you sure those people will attend such a 'Death Eater Gathering'?"

Voldemort's eyes were scarlet and he ignored Peter. Instead, he grinned and spoke in hoarse snake language.

"Hiss, hiss..." Come... Come... Come...

Tiny poisonous snakes crawled from all directions...

Voldemort squinted his eyes, and these little snakes ordered: "Hiss, hiss..." Make my eyes!
Black energy spurted out from Voldemort's eyes, and the tender skin on his suit began to become mottled and dry.

The vertical pupils of those little snakes were instantly covered with a layer of blood, and they scattered in all directions.

"After everything is set up, we need to talk to the person in charge here, whether it is Bree Old or..."

"Tom Old, whatever."

"Haha, hahaha..." Voldemort's cold laughter echoed in the sewer, turning into cold air and rushing up the pipe.

……

"Ugh, why is it so cold?" Ron muttered, then continued eating the ice cream he just bought, and left the sewer where he was standing.

"I don't think you can eat ice cream today, Ron." Harry stood aside and said helplessly, "You will be on stage soon."

Today is the competition of the Youth Group of the Fantasy Game World Cup, which is a competition among school students. Due to some force majeure reasons, for example, the Fantasy Game is only released in Europe and has not been expanded to other regions, so there are only three schools participating in this competition. They are Hogwarts in the UK, Durmstrang in Northern Europe and Beauxbatons in southern France.

"Don't worry, maybe I can still..."

"Gu..." Ron suddenly held his stomach in discomfort. Hermione on the side twitched her brows and said, "Oh, a guy who doesn't understand his own body."

Hermione will be playing soon, and she won't be arrogant enough to eat randomly and put a burden on her game.

"No, I need to solve it..." Ron didn't care about bickering with Hermione, and ran around, looking for the toilet, Harry couldn't keep up with Ron.

"Save it, let's go to the gym first. The contestants will all go to the back to prepare. Weasley won't be missing." Hermione pulled Harry, and Harry sighed, and followed Hermione towards the gym. Go.

There are a lot of people today. Fortunately, the stadium is big enough, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many people at the same time.

"Hi, little one."

As soon as Bree reached the stairs to the viewing gallery, she was stopped by someone, Sirius Black and Lupin.

The ring on Black's hand is very eye-catching, it is the symbol of the Black family, it seems that he has chosen to inherit Black during the holiday.

"Good morning, Mr. Black and Mr. Lupin." Bree came alone. Of course, he didn't plan to go to the VIP table. It would be nice to have Tom there, and Draco had already been taken away by Narcissa and Lucius. As pure bloods, they could not give up the opportunity to make friends, and Cedric also followed the Weasley family to the seat arranged by Bree.

Hearing Bree's response, Sirius smiled heartily. He had been doing well these past few days. He had caught up with the food. His whole body was red and he looked a lot stronger. He was inexplicably a bit expensive in a suit. gas.

"We're waiting for Harry and Ron."

"And Miss Granger." Lupine added from the side.

Sirius laughed. He looked at Bree and said, "You've grown taller again. It's indeed a growing age, but I didn't expect you to have such an industry at your age."

"amazing."

Brie reluctantly nodded and said noncommittally: "I think I have to find a place to sit down first and look forward to today's game."

"Well, see you later," Sirius and Lupine said.

Soon, Bree stepped into the corridor again, walked through the steel stairs, and came to the arranged seat, with Cedric next to him.

"I thought you wanted to rest for a while." Cedric spoke gently, and pointed to the place in the distance where the blue pennant was waving.

"That's for Beauxbatons, their pennant is blue."

"The black one on the other side is Durmstrang."

"Ours at Hogwarts is green."

green?

Tom made the arrangements...

Bree scanned Professor McGonagall's face not far away without leaving a trace, and indeed saw something unnatural.

"Brie, Professor Snape hasn't contacted you yet?" Professor Sprout said to Bree at this time. Because the voices of the surrounding crowd were a bit chaotic, Professor Sprout even used sound transmission magic.

Bree shook his head. Snape seemed to have disappeared. He hadn't heard from Longbottom since the letter from Longbottom's house, and Longbottom...

According to Tom's records, Longbottom did not buy tickets for the Fantasy Game World Cup, so he probably did not come to participate.

"Professor Sprout, maybe Professor Snape has something of his own."

"Oh, really?" Professor Sprout pointed to the VIP box in the distance and said with a smile: "I saw Dumbledore."

Professor McGonagall also followed Professor Sprout's gaze.

Bree explained: "I invited him. I told Dumbledore that the VIP seats have free and unlimited freshly made desserts. If the professors want, they can come over at any time."

Professor Sprout looked at little Fanny leaning on Professor Flitwick's hand and nodded: "Of course, I think little Fanny likes desserts."

Professor McGonagall also understood Professor Sprout's purpose - looking at Dumbledore, so he also stood up.

"Come on Filius."

Flitwick was inexplicably pulled away by Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout on the grounds that little Fanny wanted to eat dessert...

Bree shrugged and saw Sirius, who had become reserved after meeting the professors, and Harry and Hermione behind him.

Professor McGonagall gave Sirius a serious look, but she didn't give Sirius a good look here.

"Perhaps you were hiding from Professor McGonagall just now, Mr. Black." When Sirius sat down as if he was amnesty and breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Bree's voice.

"Don't say that. I'm waiting for my godson, Harry. I'm not afraid of Professor McGonagall."

Bree nodded and said no more.

"Hey, would you like a game, our dear prince." At this time, George and Fred touched Bree's side, leaned on them intimately, and tentatively said: "A game, guess who can win among the 24 players?" Go to the end.”

"It's a great opportunity to make money."

Fred raised his eyebrows and said in a flattering tone: "We need you, sir."

George also said sincerely: "In order to study alchemy, we have exhausted our wallets. We can't make much money with only five silver Sickles and six copper Knuts."

"Oh, George, you exposed our family background." Fred turned around and complained: "You should be more miserable. You must know that our poor brother can't even bring out a Sickle. I heard that he only has a few left. The ice cream Copper Nat bought gave him a stomachache."

"Oh, I don't think no matter what we say, he won't be as miserable as him." George spread his hands sadly and helplessly.

"Haha." Bree was amused by these two people, and then took out a bag of gold coins from his pocket and said, "Go to work in Hogsmeade Village during the holidays. This is your salary."

"Thank you merciful Lord, I, Fred/George, am your everlasting and most loyal servant."

Fred and George looked at each other and let go of Bree. Fred and George each took out a gold galleung from the bag and said in unison: "One gold galleung is enough."

After saying that, they put away the remaining money and used it as their future research funds. They took the gold coins and ran to the place where the betting was opened.

"Mom, don't you care about your brothers?" Ginny sat on her seat and asked Molly in a low voice.

Molly glanced at Arthur, who was carefully staying at the opening, squeezing the only Sickle in his hand, and silently turned away his head.

"I think this is the money that George and Fred earned from their own work. They have their own dreams." Of course, Molly knew that George and Fred would work at the Ode's house to earn money during the holidays, and she also knew this. The money was used by these two children to study alchemy and magic, so she was very supportive and recognized the children's right to control their own money. As for Arthur, let's talk about it later, she couldn't afford to be embarrassed in front of so many people.

"Buzz..." At this time, the notes in Brie's arms emitted magic fluctuations.

When Bree opened the note, she saw Yana's handwriting——

He was seriously injured, and I used Moon Wolf's blood to help him, so it was delayed and I should miss the first game.

Yana's father Doyle caused irreparable physical damage due to forcibly driving the Forbidden Forest contract. Only Yana, who is also a wolf and has nobler blood, can heal him, so Bree asked Yana to go to the depths of the Forbidden Forest. , protected by horsemen.

……

"Oh, children, fans of fantasy games from all over the world, look here!" A magic disk appeared, and Fudge was seen standing on the disk, accompanied by some officials from the Ministry of Magic.

The disk was suspended in the air in the vast stadium. Fudge held up the loudspeaker and loudly said: "I am Minister Fudge. It is an honor..."

In the VIP table, Tom closed his eyes and ignored the Ministry of Magic's boast that he had found Voldemort's whereabouts.

"Hiss, hiss..." Snake...

Nagini's snake language made Tom stand up, and Dumbledore, who was happily eating dessert, glanced at Tom who left the VIP box without leaving a trace, then continued to straighten the dessert and looked into the gymnasium.

"Eat, eat..." Fanny waved her little hand, trying to grab the dessert from Dumbledore.

"Oh, Fanny, be good, you've eaten enough today..." Professor Flitwick quickly stopped him.

Dumbledore squinted his eyes and deliberately chirped in front of Fanny, successfully making Fanny cry...

"Dumbledore, are you so immature that you want to snatch things from a child?" It was Snape's voice.

Snape strode forward, his brows furrowed tightly, his eyes showing some coldness, hiding a worried look.

"Severus, I knew you were back. Would you like some strawberry mousse? It tastes good."

Dumbledore's eyes flickered and he made room for Snape.

Upon seeing this, Snape sat directly next to Dumbledore. As Snape appeared, the people in the VIP seats all turned their eyes over and looked away after a while.

Dumbledore cast a shielding spell without leaving any trace, and Snape said: "A group of 'Death Eaters' will attack here."

Death Eaters?
A trace of doubt flashed in Dumbledore's eyes. Although the Death Eaters were madmen, they were not fools. How could they come out openly when Voldemort didn't appear? What's more, they came out in full force at the Ministry of Magic and cooperated with the Ode family in a fantasy game. Sabotage during the World Cup.

Snape drawled his voice slowly and said slowly: "Peter used his own name to send a letter to all the Death Eaters who had escaped the law, asking them to stage a small riot after today's game. , and then hide, and after tomorrow's adult wizard competition, be on call at any time to make a bigger riot."

"If he does not participate in this gathering of Death Eaters, Peter will write down his name and send this list to him when the mysterious man returns again."

Snape clenched his fists, feeling angry at Peter's action. This was to show the Death Eaters their loyalty, but the mysterious man hadn't returned yet, so the Death Eaters were stupid to do so!

Touching his wrist, Snape lowered his eyes and said coldly: "I must participate, at least for the first time. After the Aurors are dispatched, there may be no need to do it a second time."
