Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 586

"protect yourself!"

Moody roared, drowning the frantic cacophony outside.

Then he waved his magic wand and directly smashed the half of the wall in front of the small bar.

Press down those Muggles rushing over one by one.

"go!"

He pulled the McGuffin and cut a hole in the wall on the other side, through which the two of them climbed outside.

Now, the echoing voice was clearer.

Bells, bagpipes, roars, pigs, donkeys, cows... All kinds of sounds are mixed together,
These sounds seem to be human but not human, and they are not objects, just like the mixture of wild beasts and humans, ghosts and corpses. Human cognition and imagination cannot create such words to describe such a terrifying scene.

The sound alone overwhelmed McGuffin and Moody, and their hearts were filled with fear, preventing them from releasing their magic.

Maybe the voice is just an imagination, maybe it's just an echo in their heads,
McGuffin seemed to hear someone calling his name in the sky above the dead village, from every corner of the snowy night, the whispers from hell, like the hymns sung by children in the church...

Conflicting feelings tore back and forth in his brain.

The sense of powerlessness quietly occupied all his mind.

McGuffin followed Moody aimlessly.

With great effort, he activated [Occlumency] in his head again.

Block these useless emotions and block them to the deepest part of your mind.

If you really want to count, the time for McGuffin to be frozen by fear is not long.

And in the meantime, thanks to Moody,
Relying on his own will, he resisted the fear spread by the voice,

While taking care of McGuffin, he led him to rush out of the encirclement of these crazy Muggles.

After gradually waking up and regaining his senses, McGuffin suddenly realized that the spell they had just cast was completely hitting mosquitoes with a sledgehammer—the wrong force was used.

'The petrification spell, the stunning spell, even Cruciatus... these spells are very effective against a wizard, or a single target.But in the face of such a group of demented Muggles...'

'The best way is to..."

McGuffin stopped abruptly, turned around and swung his wand upwards vigorously.

The snow on the entire ground, as well as the crazy Muggles chasing after them, were all overturned and floated in the air.

Even the roof of the bar not far away was lifted, and it rolled backwards. The wreckage of the bar, which had lost a wall, shook directly, cracking and cracking...

Then it crashed and fell to the ground, turning into a pile of broken pieces.

This movement caused the snow in this area to rise high, just like the waves of the sea in a storm,
A wave of snowflakes swept across the McGuffin's eyes.

But the voice didn't stop,
Clang, clang——

The bells keep ringing,

McGuffin saw—

It was the eyeless head that was pushed on top of the wooden stick, opening its mouth and making noises.

It was the thing that spread, the unspeakable fear.

"To shut up!"

The MacGuffin swung his wand vigorously, directly pulling the Muggles holding the sticks, swinging them back and forth from the sky into the snowdrifts, smashing them.

But with the treacherous and unpredictable reverberation, it just couldn't be stopped.

and……

Not everything was pulled to heaven by McGuffin.

As the voice became more irritable, in the snowy night, several monsters that appeared to be human but not human began to rush towards them.

How to describe it?
Under the light of the blue-green fluorescent spell, they are corpses one by one.

They are all hardened, purple and blue from the cold...living corpses,
One of them's head was smashed to pieces, and just like that, it rushed towards it crazily, roaring with its mouth half open.

They ran towards McGuffin and the others in various strange postures (without the slightest sense of balance).

However, it seems that these things are not Muggles at all, not human.

Even before Moody's eyes,
He can also let go of his hands and feet.

After fixing those crazy Muggles above the sky, McGuffin waved his wand and uttered complex spells. A dark magic power continuously gathered along the tip of the stick.

The scorching black flames spewed out, turning into a long python that suddenly appeared on the ground,

The snow, the ground that was originally frozen hard... immediately began to melt into pools of snow water, and bursts of steam filled the vicinity.

The long python directly opened its mouth and devoured a guy who had a big hole near his stomach and his intestines were exposed.

The black flame erupted suddenly, burned blazingly, and grew a lot.

"Voldemort - Voldemort -"

At this time, the heads began to roar again, and the underground corpses began to entangle with an evil magic power with the agitation of the sound.

Their corpses began to deform rapidly.

The originally blue and white skin suddenly turned bright red, as if it had come to life,
But it was only for a short moment, and the seven orifices of these corpses began to flow out black blood or pus.

The bodies under their skin began to swell and deform like crazy, as if they were inflated.

Some of them became as big as Hagrid in just a few tens of seconds, and their two arms were so thick that they looked like the load-bearing pillars of a building. The monster looked like a King Kong in the movie;
Some directly turned into a shape similar to a ghoul, lying on the ground, mouth full of fangs, wrinkled skin, tongue elongated, and the tip split into two;

One arm suddenly became extremely strong, and that hand turned into a long sharp claw, and the development was very uneven;
Some of the flesh and blood gradually disappeared, and the flesh turned into some black scabs, which were attached to a skeleton, like a living skeleton.

Not long after, a dozen monsters appeared in front of McGuffin.

And obviously, ordinary spells like 'Levitation Curse' and 'Petrochemical Curse' don't seem to work for these guys.

rumbling rumbling...

The biggest guy charged like a tank.

McGuffin frowned, and looked at Moody beside him.

Moody still struggled against the fear in that voice.

Although it seems that he is about to defeat him, but at this moment, there is no time for him to take his time.

McGuffin directly flew himself and him into the sky tens of meters above the village. (those muggles brought it up as well)

At the same time, he let go of the restriction on [Fierce Fire Curse],

The black flame started to burn everything he could see crazily on the ground.

Or it can also be said that the most existing thing below... the snow was all burned up.

Almost instantly, the ground near the bar turned into a black sea of ​​flames. In addition to transforming into giant pythons, in the black fire... Phoenixes, fire dragons, and even McGuffins saw Hagrid's fried-tailed snails, and the three-headed dog...

They fought those monsters.

The reverberation changed again.

The maximized monster under the bottom surface suddenly jumped——

Shir!
McGuffin moved himself up a distance with extreme palpitations.

Then, he dealt with those heads.

The reverberation became louder and heavier, the bell clanged endlessly, and became more and more anxious, and the originally frightening hissing sound gradually changed...

Professor Moody next to him also recovered at this time.

He looked around with his two fake eyes, and underneath,... as if he understood something.

With a wave of his wand, Moody drew the Muggles to the two of them.

"Petrochemical Curse..."

After trying a few spells, amidst the hissing and wild laughter of those monster heads, Moody realized that ordinary spells didn't work on them at all.

McGuffin and Moody waved their wands almost at the same time, summoned the black Fiercefire again, and burned those weird heads into black ashes.

The ashes were scattered in the flying snow, fluttering, and I don't know where they were blown...

This time, the annoying echo finally disappeared.

The air suddenly fell into silence.

The fight between those black flames and monsters below is coming to an end.

Although those monsters are very difficult to deal with at first glance, after Moody and McGuffin wiped out the source of their mutation, they have already begun to lose power.

In the dispute between Fierce Flame, it was gradually swallowed and burned... and gradually turned into black ashes.

(Under the careful joint control of the two, the Fiercefire Curse, the jumping and burning black flame, was gradually extinguished.)
At this time, McGuffin and Moody brought those crazy Muggles who had begun to be called human beings and slowly descended from the sky and fell to the ground.

Moody didn't speak. One of his false eyes looked around, alert, and his normal eye began to direct his wand, spraying out colorful bands, binding the Muggles one by one.

All of this was done in the dark night with flying snow all over the sky, and the faint blue fluorescent spell made all of this a bit weird and terrifying.

McGuffin and Moody were already exhausted and tired enough.

But apparently the matter is far from over.

Just looking at it from above, McGuffin got a glimpse of the layout of this small village.

As they expected, this is a small village sandwiched between two hillsides. Outside the village there is a path leading directly to the main road, which has been completely covered by snow.

On one of the hillsides there is an abandoned church, and a cemetery,... near the top of the hillside, there is a dilapidated house.

That's the Riddle House!

But its appearance has completely changed.

Originally the house was just a cottage in the country.
But now it has directly turned into a castle made of stones. Although it is not big, it is completely different from what McGuffin has seen before... It is completely different.

In front of that wall gate of the castle, there is also a ring fire.

There were some Muggles there too, and it looked like they were performing some weird ritual naked.

In front of the bonfire, some Muggles knelt down on the ground, some twisted their bodies, and some mated like wild animals... howling like animals.

In the middle of the ring of fire, McGuffin vaguely saw a huge black rock statue erected.

About eight or nine feet high, in a swirling mass.

It vaguely looks like a long python, with weird sharp horns and fangs on the topmost head.

On the body of the long snake stone statue, there are rows of bloody and strange looking corpses.

Those corpses are densely packed and piled up on top of each other... the arms, legs, and heads of each corpse are intertwined and tied together like a dead knot.

The Muggles are like pagan fanatics, jumping and roaring between the bonfire and the stone statues, and endlessly carnival around the fire circle from left to right.

"Albert! Albert!"

cried Moody, interrupting McGuffin's thoughts.

He looked up at the warden of Azkaban.

Moody said, "Take out that pendulum that Dumbledore gave you..."

"Now things here are getting extremely tricky. Let's see if we can destroy the [Horcrux] first, or we can get it later...Depending on the situation, I will notify the Ministry of Magic...to ask Fudge to send the Auror striker team over." Moody said in a deep voice, with an indescribably stern tone.

McGuffin didn't say much, he took out the red crystal pendulum from his pocket.

—The pendulum swung first to the upper left and then to the right.

In the end, it just circled around in place.

"what happened?"

"I do not know either!"

After thinking for a moment, Moody made a decision.

He made a judgment that met McGuffin's expectations.

"Let's leave here first... In this situation, we don't even know what's ahead of us..."

"Risk and gain cannot be measured. When you are ready, come and see what's going on here?"

"Bring these guys along, they can be used as evidence in the Ministry of Magic..."

Moody was obviously prepared for McGuffin's strength, and he didn't feel vigilant or distrustful because of McGuffin's actions just now.

The McGuffin was at the front, and Moody was at the back... escorting the Muggles (floating them in the air and pulling them with their wands) one behind the other.

They first prepared to leave this weird village.

The two were careful along the way, but nothing happened.

Until the two came to the entrance of the village and stepped out——

Suddenly, they found that the two of them had returned to the same place, near the ruins of the tavern.

They returned to the place where the Fiendfire summoned by the MacGuffin burned, and returned to the place where the snow water melted into pieces of ice caps and was sprinkled with unknown black ash.

There was a burnt and rotten smell all over it.

Moody's face was gloomy, and he directly started to torture a few Muggles on the spot.

"Drill the heart and gouge out the bone!"

Even with the Unforgivable Curse cast on him, all the McGuffin could hear was the Muggle's maniacal laugh.

One after the other, all the same.

Moody's face became more and more ugly. Obviously, he couldn't get any new news at all.

The wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger, and it seemed that this was not an option.

McGuffin floated these Muggles and placed them one by one, or they could be said to be imprisoned in several larger houses.

Then he said, "Professor, why don't we go to the 'Gaunt House' first..."

He's on the hill to the left.

"Really? Are you sure it's there?"

"Well, I'm sure!"

So McGuffin took Moody... trudging forward in the snow of different shades, one shallow and one deep.

The condition of the road is very bad. The dirt road here is originally crooked, potholed, and full of gravel.

Now covered by snow, it is even more difficult to identify what they are stepping on. If they are not careful, they will fall into it, get scratched, stabbed...

Under the cover of snow, some shrubs and forests have turned into butter buns, which may be bumped into if one is not paying attention.

McGuffin led Moody to a bush.

The woods are also covered with snow,

In the dark night, under the illumination of the fluorescent spell, an extremely dilapidated old house appeared there.

That is [Gaunt's Old House].
