Chapter 116 Hesitation

"Dumbledore, I want to see Dumbledore. I did something stupid..." Mu Yu recalled for a long time before he remembered who the owner of this voice was. But for Barty Crouch Jr., this voice was all too familiar.

They exchanged silent glances. Barty Crouch actually broke through the restrictions of the Imperius Curse and the formation and entered Hogwarts.

"Wormtail..." Barty Crouch Jr. whispered through gritted teeth.

Mu Yu continued to hold him, and the rustling noises continued to be heard from behind the trees.

"Get up, Mr. Crouch, I'll take you to see Dumbledore." This was Harry speaking.

"Tell, tell Dumbledore, remind him, my son, my son, the Dark Lord..."

Mu Yu clenched the wand in his hand.

Fortunately, Barty Crouch's condition was extremely bad. It sounded like he was holding on to Harry and unwilling to let go. He kept repeating confusing words: "Yes, my son passed the twelve OWLS exams, and the results are Very good, thank you, I am proud of him. Well, please give me the memorandum from the Minister of Magic in Andorra..."

The cold wind blowing from the Black Lake became more and more biting. They were hidden behind a big tree so that she couldn't see Barty Crouch's face, which was even worse. Every one of his seemingly crazy and illogical words stirred up the memories and tenderness that she tried her best to seal away.

There were people who were proud of her, who had great hopes for her, and who also felt very guilty about her. However, before everything can be truly revealed, her past has dissipated like smoke. The everlasting sunset on Mingyuan Mountain in the past gradually shrank into a thorn hidden in the heart that was not sharp but could never be pulled out.

Barty Crouch Jr. on the side was as calm as if the person he was talking about was not him.

"You stay here with him, I know where Dumbledore's office is." It sounded like Harry was instructing another person.

"He seems crazy, you better hurry up." The person who answered him had a thick Bulgarian accent.

It was that warrior from Durmstrang, Viktor Krum.

Mu Yu pulled Barty Crouch Jr. deeper into the woods. She saw Harry emerging from the bushes and hurried away like a castle. His unconscious spell that had just turned red quietly hit Krum, who had been busy dealing with Barty Crouch.

However, when Mu Yu walked up to Barty Crouch who was still chattering against a tree, he couldn't lift the wand. Barty Crouch looks even more gaunt and thin than he did in the first game. His beard was unkempt, his robe was scratched and torn, and his scattered white hair looked like it had not been cleaned for a long time.

He was beaming at the tree at the moment, and no matter how haggard his face was, he could not hide his pride: "Yes, my son OWLS got twelve O's. He is my pride. Ah, I hope he can enter the Ministry of Magic in the future. Of course, I won’t favor him, but with his ability, he can be promoted in less than three years and become the director of a department in less than five years. It’s time for me to retire by then..."

Weak Green said . Light emitted from the tip of the wand and hit Barty Crouch, who was still talking. However, the supposedly fatal green light only made him stagger.

Two equally old faces flashed alternately in Mu Yu's memory. She knew that the spell did not have the desired effect, but she could not recite the same spell again no matter what.

The warm liquid slid down his cheeks and melted into the frozen soil. She should no longer be nostalgic for the past. Whether it was the tombstone at the foot of Mingyuan Mountain, the small building on the mountain, or even the dirty and narrow apartment building where Olivia gave birth to her, they were all out of reach. of illusion.

She raised her wand again.

Someone is one step ahead of her. The dazzling green light only flickered for a few seconds before Barty Crouch fell on his back to the ground, and intense flames quickly rose from his body.

Mu Yu didn't even glance at Barty Crouch Jr. She waited silently for the crackling flames to burn the corpse before quickly waving her wand to cover up possible traces. But Barty Crouch Jr. suddenly grabbed her collar for the first time, and his magic eye protruded at an extremely exaggerated angle: "The basic principle of the Unforgivable Curse is that you must be sincere and cruel to cause harm. I need to teach you this."

"His escape is a variable. I'll go back first. You can't leave. When Dumbledore comes, you have to pretend that you happened to be here and offer to search for the missing Crow. Odd. We'll take care of the room on the eighth floor later." Mu Yu gently pulled away his hand. She wasn't even angry because of his recklessness, and she was able to calmly think of a solution at this time.

Even the remaining tears on her face had completely dried up at this time.

Barty Crouch Jr. also noticed he had lost his temper. He followed her movements and let her go, taking a few steps back: "You don't need to tell me this. Kindness is the most useless thing, you'd better throw it away."

Mu Yu didn't seem to hear his warning . She said calmly: "See you later."

When she turned to leave, she didn't have to think about it to know that Barty Crouch Jr. behind her must be extremely angry.

The road she came on must have been blocked, so she chose to go directly through the small forest on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and then walked along the shore of the Black Lake for a few minutes to reach the all-too-familiar Whomping Willow. Liu can return to the school from the other end of the corridor on the first floor by crossing the lawn.

After walking out of the woods, without the protection of trees, the cold wind became even more severe, making my cheeks hurt. The cold wind once again reminded her of the warmth that had slid down her cheeks just now. It's colder on the shores of the Black Lake than in the woods. Mu Yu knelt down and poured a handful of lake water on her face, which was stiffened by the wind. Under the stimulation of the lake water that soaked into her bones and flesh, she seemed to have completely awakened from the so-called illusion.

The failed spell and the falling tears were more like a hypocritical show. She climbed up the steep slope where the Whomping Willow was, and from here she could see several figures walking quickly on the path just now. Even from a distance, Dumbledore's gray beard stood out.

Kindness has never been hers.

She walked along the frosty lawn toward the castle. When she passed the Whomping Willow, its bare branches twitched a few times, but in the end she did nothing. She had already walked around to the other side of the castle and could no longer see the figures. The foyer was eerily quiet during the Christmas holidays.

It wasn't until she reached the marble steps of the foyer that Mu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could take any further action, a burning pain came from her heart.

She manipulated the formation at that time and established a private relationship with Shen Yi. Shen Yi would not risk informing her in this way unless she had to.

What do they want to do, but it happens to be at this time. Mu Yu put his left hand on the smooth marble wall of the foyer and walked inside as calmly as possible.

"Why don't you go out when it's cold?"

A person suddenly stopped her as she was about to walk through the hall and toward the stairs. Only then did she realize that Theodore was sitting in the hallway of the foyer. He had been sitting here for who knows how long. Mu Yu was not sure whether he saw her walking around the Whomping Willow to this side.

It doesn't matter if you are seen. Theodore Nott was never talkative, and she could make up countless good reasons.

Dumbledore was already suspicious of her, and as long as she didn't find out all the solid evidence for a day, this suspicion would be useless to her.

"Go out and relax," she said, acting as if the awkwardness before Christmas didn't exist at all. "There are still a few days until the holidays, why don't you go to Hogsmeade with them?"

She is always like this, neither getting closer nor getting closer to people. From the moment she rebuffed the invitation, Theodore Nott understood that this vague and unspecified relationship was over before it even began. Absolute reason and faint intuition reminded him that he should no longer be persistent. But...

"The library attracts me more than Hogsmeade." Theodore raised the heavy potion making book in his hand.

She continued to chat with him politely: "I have read this book, but I never had time to finish it. See you after the holiday, Theodore."

"Are you sure you want to continue going up?" Theodore Nott Suddenly he asked without thinking.

Mu Yu leaned against the marble wall again and glanced at him, as if she was just glancing at an insignificant object: "What else?"

She walked towards the stairs, stumbling all the way to the eighth floor, and almost fell down several times during the process. Fell through the gap in the stairs. She leaned against the blank wall with difficulty, almost falling into the Room of Requirement.

"My cousin led people to study the principle of weapons. Soon Jiuzhou will be able to set up its own production line and no longer need supplies." Shen Yi just sent her this sentence.

It wasn't until she confirmed that Shen Yi had nothing to say that her tense body relaxed slightly, and her fingers tapped the armrests of the chair again and again: "I thought it was some big deal," she held up her chin to watch Shen Yi up close. He was respectful and pious, "The weapon is not important, who is holding it is the most important thing."

Shen Yi lowered his head lower, assuming a more humble and respectful posture: "My cousin is determined to have his own way, but he doesn't know that everything can't be hidden. " God's eyes."

"You know this very well." Mu Yu said this clearly and cut off the connection before Shen Yi could think about it.

Barty Crouch Jr. opened the door and walked in at this moment. She didn't even look at him: "I'm just looking for Avides."

After saying this, he realized that something important might have happened: " You need me to avoid it."

Mu Yu was half leaning on the sofa at this time. Avides' face could be faintly seen in the double-sided mirror in her hand. She waved her hand to Crouch and then said to the mirror: "Norwegian research in recent years The effect is remarkable, especially in research in a certain field. I have something to ask Mr. Swanstadt about the dissolving spell."

Sweat broke out on Avides' forehead, even though he repeatedly expressed his sincerity. Fear, after all, this freak never plays his cards according to common sense.

"Why are you so nervous? It's just a small question." Mu Yu smiled first, "Can the dispelling spell only disable Norwegian weapons?"

Avides cleverly did not think about her intention. Since she asked this, then he Just answer honestly: "As long as the principles are similar, they can be applied."

There was silence on the other side. No one dared to speak when she didn't speak. The layers of air around her were like cotton soaked in water, suffocating people and making them unable to breathe. When she spoke again, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but they soon realized that it was better not to say anything.

"From now on, we will gradually reduce the supply to Kyushu, and there is no need to choose good ones for them. Since they can be self-sufficient, why should I be that good person."

She spoke extremely calmly, and you couldn't tell the difference unless you listened carefully. Hidden rage.

Avides's heart dropped again. You must know that at that time, he swore that all the technology was their hard work for decades, but it was so easily cracked by Kyushu.

"Miss Mu..." He was thinking about what to say, "There is no shortage of spiritual stones in the East. That is just the most basic principle. It is easy for them to crack it, but the higher-end technology is still in our hands. In a while... "

I know what you mean," Mu Yu still looked gentle and gentle, but it made Avides even more uncomfortable. He would rather she be more irritable, "I'm not worried about them researching more things. As for Norway, I just need to ensure that everyone who gets the Dharma lineage can faithfully and effectively ensure that everything operates normally."

She turned the jade pendant in her hand, She won't underestimate the clan's remaining power, but she won't be overly frightened either. Hundreds of years of history have divided the monks in Kyushu, and it is difficult for them to unite again.

What's more, the new order that is gradually forming will not give them a chance to unite.

"Before the time is ripe, I hope that everything can be well hidden under the Norwegian glaciers." She always spoke in a gentle tone, but she kept looking at Avides. "Your sincerity is touching. We will not As a courtesy to anyone who is loyal, the magical world in Northern Europe is under your control, and we will not interfere too much. After all, it is the hometown where you grew up, and it is the place where you have devoted half your life."

Her voice was gentle, but extremely harsh. Infectious, as if she really felt what they were feeling.

"Don't worry," Avides took several deep breaths before calming down, "We will not betray this trust."

"I heard that the Ministry of Magic is almost cleared and the road to Durmstrang has been opened. Most of them," Mu Yu looked at him with a smile, but was not very touched by his expression, "it's time to find a few researchers from that group and arrange them to enter the school."

Now, it doesn't matter if it's little Batik. Both Rauch and Avides tensed up and looked at her, but she said calmly: "Their headmaster Karkaroff is dying soon. A responsible Ministry of Magic needs to appoint a person who can choose the right person immediately after the headmaster's sudden death." What do you think about the new principal who has taken on a big role?"

She talked about Karkaroff's fate like she was talking about an ant.

"Do you want to..."

"Education in the wizarding world has not changed its general direction for hundreds of years. The entire education system in the wizarding world is like a rusty machine." Mu Yu stroked the smooth double-sided mirror, "Even Muggles are constantly changing, and we also need new talents. It's time to oil this rotten machine."

Avides looked unpredictable. He knew that the so-called talents were not only technical talents, but also talents. Talents who are ideologically loyal to the so-called gods and are willing to devote themselves to gods. After a long time, he said firmly: "I will deal with it."

This answer obviously satisfied her. The calmness and composure she felt facing Avides after putting down the mirror just disappeared. She closed her eyes tiredly. She hadn't had a good rest since last night, and even though her cultivation had been stable, she still couldn't resist.

Barty Crouch Jr. was still sitting farthest away from her, unusually quiet.

There was a dead silence in the Room of Requirement.

The dead silence only lasted for less than a minute before it was broken by Mu Yu. She let out a long breath and said, "I'll go find Wormtail to settle the score later. It's unclear how much Harry will reveal to Dumbledore, but no matter what, you You must be prepared to be discovered, especially during the second project. When the restrictions at Hogwarts are relaxed, I will give you a talisman so that you can be sent back immediately if an accident occurs

. Maybe he was already suspicious. The boy had a map in his hand, and it showed my name. Fortunately, he thought it was my father, but I am not a deserter." Unexpectedly, Barty Crouch Jr. She insisted, "If there is any oversight, I will wait to deal with Harry Potter at Hogwarts."

"Confused," she stood up suddenly, her temples throbbing with pain again, "Do you think Dumbledore would treat you like this? Are you kind and tolerant? At least Azkaban is waiting for you. If you want to return to your old place, I have no problem with it."

She realized what she had said after seeing Barty Crouch Jr.'s gloomy face. She rubbed her eyebrows and softened her tone: "I'm sorry," she said softly, "Barty, you are extremely important to us. You are smart and calm. You have been in the Order of the Phoenix for nearly half a year without them noticing anything strange, and you have also sent back a lot of valuable information. I have told you before I said that people like you should shine in a more suitable place, have you forgotten that losing you is an extremely heavy loss?"

As she praised Barty Crouch, his eyes gradually brightened and his cheeks gradually turned red. Of course, it was very scary to see such an expression on Moody's face. But that's not what Mu Yu paid attention to. She always felt something was wrong. His excitement didn't look like an encouraged subordinate at all, not to mention that there was no relationship between them as a boss and a subordinate.

He is more like a child who gets praise from his parents. Mu Yu understands such emotions. Her biggest pastime was observing the various emotional reactions of those people. At that time, it was just a kind of boredom with a bad taste, but when an adult who was at least ten years older than her showed such an expression, it only left her feeling uncomfortable.

"I... am very, very important to you." Barty Crouch Jr. seemed to be confirming an answer he was not sure about.

"That's right," Mu Yu responded to him briefly. She didn't want to delve into who he meant by you. "You should keep that map. Your father's escape is also my fault. If the formation can be used again, Consolidate it..."

She sighed softly at this point.

She was really blaming herself.

"That map almost ruined everything. I've already taken it away." Barty Crouch Jr. suddenly said something completely unrelated to everything. "He didn't come back all night. It seems that some people didn't go there." It's as simple as a dance."

"We also discussed Snape and Ivan," she said lightly.

"It takes one night."

She didn't expect that he would be entangled in this aspect. She hated having her privacy peeked into, especially last night... She

didn't feel anything at the time, but now she felt hot from head to toe when she was mentioned like this.

In fact, there was nothing at all, but the more I thought about it, the more it burned.

"Anyway, you must be ready to leave at any time," she said a little annoyed, "Don't try to kill Harry Potter."

Before he could refute, she continued: "He must kill Harry Potter himself, any No one can do it. I told you that excessive loyalty is just being smart."

In order to hide her strangeness, she turned around and continued to play with the puppet that had been carved for several months. The original wood had been carved by her. With a little more life, she's almost there...just getting the puppet out of the way makes her walk around Hogwarts much easier.

"You're not leaving yet."

"There's no need to rush to do this," Barty Crouch Jr. walked to her side, as if he didn't feel her annoyance, "The second project won't start until February 24th."

He also touched her After getting on the puppet, he whispered to her: "Besides, I think you have done a good enough job. What just happened will not leave any trace. They will just think that the madman ran into the Forbidden Forest and disappeared."

Mu Yu The movement paused for a moment. For Dumbledore, any suspicious signs could become possible clues, and the Marauder's Map was also a big trouble. What he says now is just a comfort.

Comfort never meant anything and she didn't need useless comfort.

"I know that map. Lupine discovered Peter because of it last semester. Don't let it fall into Potter's hands again." She raised her head and carefully admired the work that was about to be completed. "I want to finish this puppet as soon as possible." . With this, I can not be bound by Hogwarts. "

The puppets made this time will not be as useless as two years ago. Now that I think about it, she was still so immature two years ago. It's no wonder that she struggled to cast a soul-inducing formation, and even left traces of magic on her diary.

Barty Crouch Jr. took one last look at the nearly completed puppet before walking towards the door with a cane: "It seems that we have to rush the work before the New Year. I still don't like you very much, but I have to admit that in many ways you are indeed very good. If Potter is half as smart as you, we don't need to find ways to get the clues to the golden egg in front of him."

"He is only fourteen years old. Even other warriors will take a while to decipher the clues to the golden egg. You can't do it here. "I'm trying too hard on him."

All she got in response was a soft hum and the sound of footsteps gradually disappearing.

Mu Yu continued to devote her energy to making puppets, and she could always have the greatest tolerance for a dying person.
