Chapter 104 Hedging
Chapter 104 Hedging
"I thought you couldn't use any teleportation tools in Hogwarts." Mu Yu took a few steps closer and stared at the increasingly strong green flames. "If you had told me earlier, we wouldn't have gone to great lengths to let you know." Harry Potter passed the game. "
She now knew how Barty Crouch Jr. traveled between the Order of the Phoenix, the house in London, and Hogwarts.
"Teachers always have some privileges in their own offices. If he happens to be a member of the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore will only be more generous. That boy is determined and his resistance to the Imperius Curse is far beyond ordinary people. He must be tricked into chanting the curse. It's not easier than letting him pass the game. I've already tried it in class."
As she was about to step into the flames, Barty Crouch Jr. suddenly said to her, "I'll wait until midnight, but if I want to stay overnight, I'll do it the next day. Find a way to sneak back to the common room." He also cruelly added, "I won't come to save you if you are caught."
This sentence seemed harmless at first, but it couldn't stand up to scrutiny. .
She paused and said, "I know."
After saying that, she stepped into the bright flame without looking at him.
It had only been a few months since I last left, but the huge house had completely changed its appearance. The originally bright living room now seemed to be stained with a gray and lifeless color.
The floor-to-ceiling windows no longer reflect the green lawn. All the grass has turned yellow. There used to be animals occasionally scurrying around in the grass, but now there may not even be an ant.
Only the flowers on the other side of the window were swaying, blooming more prosperously than ever before, almost forming a continuous patch.
"It is our honor to receive your favor." She heard a woman's voice before she stepped out of the fireplace in the living room. The word "respect" is far from enough to describe the emotion. This woman seems to have put herself in the position of a self-sacrificial lamb. Mu Yu immediately understood what the so-called reward was.
He rewarded the Dharma lineage to this group of diehards.
The woman continued: "We are willing to dedicate everything to you, master."
Mu Yu walked out of the fireplace.
Her arrival only caused the fire to make a puff sound. Nagini, who was curled up lazily by the fireplace, raised her head and swam towards her excitedly.
The snake now looks less and less like a snake.
Everyone raised their heads to look at her in unison. Just like that night, there were all kinds of looks, including curiosity, indifference, disdain, and inquiry...
"I thought you were going to apparate," Tom Riddle looked at her without answering. He made no expression with all kinds of looks, and even his attitude toward her in front of this group of people didn't seem to be any special, "Sit down."
Both sides of the long table were full, but the seat opposite him was still empty.
Mu Yu just walked towards that position with a bunch of dazzling eyes. The woman closest to the first one looked at her with undisguised hatred. This hatred deepened with every step she took.
As soon as she pulled up the chair, the woman screamed: "There's no place for you here, little bastard! You don't deserve to sit in this place!"
She was already haggard, and she could only vaguely see from her facial features that she was a beauty in the past. A roar wiped away the last trace.
Mu Yu turned a deaf ear to such a sharp yell and sat down directly. As she sat down, a curse hit her face. This curse was enough to corrode her whole body. She always sat steadily. The spell coming from the air seemed to be blocked by a barrier and bounced back directly. The woman let out a cry of pain.
There are a lot of adult wizards here, and she doesn't have to worry about alerting the Ministry of Magic when she performs magic.
The power of the rebound spell is far less powerful than before, and Mu Yu will not go too far, it will just cause some pain. It is undoubtedly a great humiliation for the person who cast the spell.
"How dare you, you filthy little brat, a cross between a lowly Eastern bloodline and a lowly hybrid..."
A series of disgusting words failed to change Mu Yu's face. The words spoken by the previous group of people were even more unpleasant and their vocabulary was richer. . She's also past the age where she can't wait to talk back. She still had the intention to glance at Tom Riddle, who seemed extremely indifferent to the looming dispute.
She wasn't surprised.
She blocked the spell again, this time the curse was more powerful than before, and she had no doubt that this woman could kill her if the timing wasn't right. She didn't know how to actually fight, but it wasn't particularly difficult to bounce off one or two spells.
The way other people looked at her changed again. The curious and disdainful ones tried their best to hide this thought for the time being, while the indifferent ones couldn't help but pay more attention to her.
"This is my home," she said with a smile before the woman spoke, not embarrassed by what she just said. "Is there any more problem?"
Even the breathing in the living room slowed down. Only Nagini swam along the long table towards where she was, and she touched Nagini's head.
No one wants to talk at this time.
"Your murderous look is inspiring, Bellatrix," Tom Riddle said in his smooth tone, saying nothing about the conflict between talents. "I'm glad Azkaban didn't flatten you."
With such a simple sentence, Bellatrix stopped paying attention to Mu Yu. She lowered her head, her face flushed with excitement: "I have always been loyal to you and am willing to do anything for you . ."
She seemed to be making a vow to her lover.
Mu Yu lifted Nagini up and wrapped it around his hand.
"I know you miss the old days very much, when those Mudbloods were slaughtered by us," he kept looking at the opposite side, refusing to let go of any change in expression on her face, "Soon you will be able to experience the pleasure of the past in a small way. "
A few names appeared on the top of the wand. When a group of people saw these names, they were like hungry wolves seeing their prey. Some people even licked the corners of their mouths.
From this moment on, Mu Yu could see that they were real lunatics. More than ten years of prison life had almost deprived them of their last sanity. She touched Nagini every time, and only this group of madmen who absolutely obeyed orders were suitable to do this.
"It won't be any difficult for you to manipulate the Muggles to wipe out these families." He ignored the confusion of this group of people and continued to add, "As long as the Ministry of Magic and old man Dumbledore believe that it was Muggles who did it. "
The people on the list...are either related to people who are neutral to the Ministry of Magic's new policy, or are relatives of some members of the Wizengamot."
"After all, it seems to those of you that you are still staying peacefully in Azkaban, and I have always been kind," he said in a cold tone, "No matter how low-blooded these brats are, they still have the same blood. Wizard's blood, every drop of wizard's blood is wasted."
Bellatrix's face suddenly turned pale, and she immediately looked at Mu Yu. This might be the combination of old and new hatreds. " Half-blood and mudblood bastards have no decency to live in this world, their creation was a mistake. You don't need to listen to the rhetoric..."
That's stupid. Mu Yu noticed Tom Riddle turning the wand over and over again. She knew him too well. She put Nagini back on the table and interrupted Bellatrix: "Then there will only be a bunch of ghosts being carried to school on the train."
She didn't lose her temper, nor did she refute the blood theory. It was easy but choked to the point of being speechless: "At that time, who will set off the so-called glory of pure blood? Who will be the stepping stone to lift pure blood to a high position? Who will regard pure blood as a noble and revere it with a bunch of ghosts and corpses? "
Her words were as gentle and gentle as gentle breeze and drizzle, but they made Bellatrix's face turn blue and white.
"Enough," Tom Riddle said lazily as if he had seen enough of the show. This time he didn't even look at Bellatrix. "Let's do it at the end of this month."
He played with his wand nonchalantly . He glanced at everyone, and no one except Mu Yu dared to look into those red eyes: "You used to be the most powerful and loyal team. I don't want your advantages to disappear because of Azkaban, and you will be lifted out of it." The gift can only come out once, otherwise I wouldn't mind leaving such a task to those idiots, and there are even many mixed-bloods to serve me..."
These people lowered their heads, trying their best to reduce their presence.
With their eyes above their heads, they will not tolerate losing to that group of opportunistic villains.
"If you don't want to go back to your old home, just do as I say. No one still remembers that, right?" His high-pitched voice echoed in the room, and there was silence below.
"Everyone except Yu, get out."
They stood up and bowed to the top, and then, as if they were being driven by ghosts, they either used Floo powder to leave, or walked quickly to the courtyard to phantom.
Only Bellatrix leaned forward unwillingly and tried to pull his sleeve: "Master, I am willing to serve you all the time. Please allow me to stay."
She was too close.
Mu Yu glanced at him with a half-smile, as if he was extremely interested in Bellatrix, but also seemed indifferent to him. He only glanced at him and continued to comfort Nagini, who was a little angry and uneasy just now.
"I don't need anyone to take care of me, get out." He pushed Bellatrix away, who was obviously very sad and afraid to come any closer.
As she passed by Mu Yu, she whispered darkly and quickly: "I hope you don't fall into my hands one day, little bastard."
Such threats had no effect on Mu Yu, especially when she found out that this person was not that kind. When you are smart.
Only the two of them were left again. The fire in the room was still burning brightly, and the living room seemed to be getting colder.
"Your traces have been erased." He suddenly felt that they were too far away. He always wanted her to get closer. Only in this way could he be sure that she was firmly held in his hand, "Come here . "
The last sentence is a command.
Mu Yu did not act immediately: "It seems that we are not far away from taking control of the Ministry of Magic."
"They have been divided internally for a long time." He was full of disdain for the Ministry of Magic. "Come here."
Only one person can make him repeat the order Again.
"By taking control of the Ministry of Magic, you can almost intervene in British Muggle society." She walked across the long table at this time, and was taken to him as soon as she walked to him. Not even the roaring fireplace could dispel the chill around him.
But it was this bone-chilling cold that seemed to make her feel at ease, and she leaned inside.
"Do you think that the Muggles, the so-called political leaders, don't know the existence of the wizarding world at all? Do you think that only their prime minister knows the truth?" Tom Riddle held her tightly while sniffing the scent from her neck. A light sandalwood scent. She could still capture the fleeting feeling of pride.
She understood.
"You will get Potter in the second game," she raised her head and looked directly into his scarlet eyes, her voice was so soft that it was almost like she was whispering, "I think you can't wait, and I can't wait either."
She hugged him . She used a little more force on her hand, and he began to play with her hand again, like a poisonous snake wrapping around its prey: "What exactly did you hide from me? Don't lie to me, you know the consequences of cheating on me..."
She laughed without warning, as if she had found a very interesting toy. The girl's laughter added a different color to the dead hall.
After laughing enough, she said: "I have never lied to you, I just think it is more interesting for you to find the answer yourself. You don't want me to give the answer to you, madman."
She has always been as bold as if she was not afraid of death. , he also understood that she was indeed not afraid of death.
He didn't respond. Instead, he held her hand. To be more precise, he was repeatedly stroking the ring on her hand. The two of them were so intimate now, but it was a bit more frightening.
Mu Yu didn't even have a trace of panic. She never thought she could hide some things.
"You didn't destroy all the fangs." He looked at her face with interest, trying to find some frustration in her plan being seen through, but this was destined to disappoint him, "You can try any method within the duel rules, Yu, I'm looking forward to that day."
Mu Yu met his gaze without fear: "I'm looking forward to it too."
She glanced at the clock hanging on the wall: "It's almost twelve o'clock, little Batik. Rauch is still waiting for me."
She wanted to get up but was held tightly in her arms. Such a move was completely within her expectation.
"If I don't go back, I have to find a way to get back to the lounge without anyone noticing," she whispered in her ear, and then jumped to the ground while he was not checking for a moment, regardless of his ugly face. "The most important thing is, if you are caught Caught, your loyal men vowed not to cover for me."
