Volume 8: In this Hogwarts without the Dark Lord Chapter 508 Gold Cup
North Sea, Azkaban.
There is always a lingering thick fog surrounding this island.
This magical fog not only prevents Muggles who have explored the entire world from discovering this sinful island, but also suppresses the hopes of all prisoners on the prison island to escape.
Just today, an uninvited guest, completely covered in a gray robe, passed through the thick fog and climbed onto this prison that every wizard in the magical world fears.
There are bare stone walls everywhere around, and only an ancient and dilapidated castle stands in the middle of the island.
The gray-robed wizard avoided the Ministry of Magic's Aurors stationed on the prison island and easily reached the interior of the prison.
Dementors were floating around, but as soon as he entered the castle, his body instantly twisted and turned into a gray mouse with a finger missing!
Dementors only absorb human emotions and certainly have no interest in animals. So the mouse wandered around the prison as if no one was around, and soon he found the person he wanted to find.
This is the deepest part of Azkaban, where only wizard criminals sentenced to permanent imprisonment are usually held.
At this time, in the prison where the mouse stayed, there sat a woman with disheveled hair.
The woman was dressed in rags and looked very haggard, but her mental state was not as lethargic and depressed as the other prisoners. Instead, she was always in an abnormally excited and fanatical state!
The mouse changed into human form in front of the woman, and at the same time pulled down the hood of his gray robe, revealing a face with all its features squeezed together, just like a big fat rat.
Bella looked up and saw that face, and she couldn't help but show a burst of anger and madness.
"Wormtail! How dare you come to see me!"
When Peter saw Bella's crazy look, he couldn't help but tremble. He had been hiding in the Weasley family for the past ten years because he was afraid of these diehard fans of Voldemort.
Voldemort's disappearance and the complete defeat of the entire pure-blood force were directly related to the information he provided that year.
People like Bella would like to skin him alive.
However, Peter came with a mission this time. Although he was afraid, he remained calm.
"The master asked me to come."
Bella, who seemed to be emitting rage from every cell in her body, suddenly stopped.
Her spirit is more like that of a madman, but not a fool. Peter's so-called loyalty to Voldemort is actually more of a cowardice. Of course, he has the possibility of looking for other people who will also make him feel timid and re-recognizing his master, but he will never have the courage to come to Azkaban and use this matter to provoke her again.
Therefore, the master he was talking about could only be their common master!
Bella suddenly grabbed the prison railings, scaring Peter so much that he subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Every year, several new prisoners imprisoned here claim that their master has returned! But in the end, they are proven to be just talking nonsense under the torture of Dementors! How can you prove what you say, Wormtail!"
Peter didn't dare to look into Bella's wide, bloodshot eyes.
He said tremblingly.
"The master once asked you to keep something for him..."
"My master's trust in me is more than just entrusting me with one thing!"
"Gold, gold cup..."
The air suddenly stopped.
Bella seemed to remember something, and her eyes started to become strange.
It was a kind of excitement born from a madness that was almost desperate, and an expression of a heart that was almost dead gradually beginning to become active again.
"How did you get into the Lestrange family treasure house!"
"I didn't go in. The master found me through a goblin."
Bella loosened the bars of the prison and began to laugh. Her smile was still chilling , but her voice became extremely calm.
"What does the Master need us to do?"
…
"This is Jon, Harry."
The next morning, Dumbledore prepared a private room for them to have breakfast. Harry was naturally with Lily. When they met this time, Lily introduced them to each other.
Last night, Harry already knew about John's deeds in another world. He no longer regarded him as an ordinary boy. If calculated according to normal age, Jon was actually a few months older than Harry.
"Hello, can I just call you Jon?"
Jon looked at Harry, who was wearing black glasses and had a quiet appearance. For some reason, his mind suddenly emerged with the image of Harry as an adult, wearing smoky makeup and black leather pants and dancing striptease.
Quickly shaking his head to expel this horrifying scene from his mind, Jon also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Harry.
"Of course, Harry."
Of course Harry had no idea what Jon was thinking; he just said it with admiration.
"They all say that I'm the hero who defeated the mysterious man, but in fact, I have never even seen the true appearance of the mysterious man. You are the real hero!"
"In our place, everyone is a hero, just like the stars in the night sky. No stargazer would only focus on the brightest ones, right? Sometimes the stars that have passed away are more worthy of commemoration."
Jon said lightly while eating a hot dog.
Harry looked at him more intently.
To be honest, the environment that Harry grew up in can’t be said to be extremely bad, but it can be said to be extremely terrible.
But there is no sign that his character has been corrupted or distorted, nor did he inherit some of his father's bad habits when he was young. At most, he can be considered a little naughty, and his personal values are as positive as they can be.
In fact, he has always felt unworthy of his fame and respect, and felt that he was stealing his mother's selfless dedication to him.
So when I learned that in another world, there really was a person of the same age as me who had actually defeated Voldemort in such a difficult environment, I naturally developed a sense of admiration for him.
Of course Lily also saw this, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Not to mention Harry, if the Order of the Phoenix still needed to choose an absolute leader to replace Dumbledore, the adult wizards would most likely choose John.
After breakfast, Jon and the others did not delay any further. In front of Dumbledore, Jon began to allocate the plan.
He and Lily had to split up into two groups, one to destroy the time-turner and the other to find the remaining Horcruxes.
