Hogwarts: This wizard wants to improve too much

One night after the battle.

In a house deep in Spinner's End, Snape, who was busy at the workbench, sensed the induction from the Dark Mark on his body and chose to stop brewing potions immediately.

No matter whether the potion was precious or not, or whether he could stop in the middle, he extinguished the alcohol lamp and used the cooling spell to force it to stop.

During the holidays, as long as there was nothing special, except going out to buy various materials for potions, Snape always spent his time brewing potions in the old house in Spinner's End.

After feeling the movement of the Dark Mark, Snape was sure that this time was different from the previous time.

At that time, it was just irregular movement, as if Voldemort was announcing his presence, but this time it was a serious summoning rhythm.

The last time, when Harry said in the ward that Voldemort summoned the Death Eaters, Snape didn't feel the summoning at all.

But now, after such a long time, I feel this call. There is no doubt that Voldemort must have something to tell me.

You know, the Dark Mark of all Death Eaters was planted by Voldemort himself.

He can know the location of all wizards who have been planted with the Dark Mark according to his choice.

He can also summon different Dark Mark holders according to his choice.

Now he is openly on Dumbledore's side, and I don't know how much Voldemort trusts him.

Does he want to know Dumbledore's movements this time, or does he want me to make a potion for him?

I walked out of the studio with a lot of thoughts, and after a simple wash, I sat down on the sofa in the living room and began to sort out my thoughts.

During this period, Voldemort fought with the Balrog and was seriously injured. The news spread everywhere in the wizarding world.

Although Snape stayed at home, he was not out of communication with the outside world, so he naturally learned about this news.

I have also confirmed with Dumbledore that this is indeed the case.

Besides, I know more than the outside world.

Voldemort was not only seriously injured, but also played tricks throughout the whole process. He was able to survive because the Balrog spared him.

Almost all of his Death Eaters were dead, and only a few escaped.

Dumbledore also told me about some of his undercover work.

But, can I rely on the Balrog to kill Voldemort?

In the past, there was no choice, but now it is different.

And unlike Dumbledore, who was timid, the Balrog dared to do too much.

As for the identity of the other party's dark wizard.

Snape didn't care about this at all. He was not a good person, but also a member of the dark wizards.

Even though he is now a professor at Hogwarts, he is still a dark wizard and a Death Eater in the eyes of many people.

Once a dark wizard, always a dark wizard.

But there are still two difficult questions.To solve it.

If Voldemort's Horcruxes are not solved, even if he is killed, Harry will only be safe temporarily. From Dumbledore, he also learned some things about Horcruxes.

Secondly, he could not contact the Balrog at all, and could not even find a channel.

It was as if the other party had popped up in the middle of the journey.

After sorting out his thoughts, Snape immediately began to move and headed towards the direction of the induction from the Dark Mark.

He still had to go to Voldemort's side. Not only did he have to go, but he also had to do undercover work according to Dumbledore's instructions.

This time was also an opportunity. Voldemort didn't have many people available at all. Maybe he could get his trust and get some news about Horcruxes.

He immediately began to adjust his state and mood, and then Apparated several times in a row, and came to an open space outside a village in Cornwall according to the induction.

Standing in front of this open space, Snape was sure that his perception was correct.

But he didn't see any people or buildings.

Snape also understood the situation.

Like Lily and James Potter, he used the Fidelius Charm to hide his house.

It seems that he was really beaten hard this time and was frightened.

Otherwise Voldemort would not be so cautious.

You should know that when Voldemort led the Death Eaters to fight the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix the most fiercely, he did not build a safe house for himself.

Now Dumbledore is even older, the Order of the Phoenix has not yet been fully launched, and the Ministry of Magic has many internal contradictions. It chose to do this when it could not organize any power at all.

It can only be said that he was really scared by the Balrog this time.

After standing there and waiting for a long time, a figure in a black robe suddenly appeared in the open space, wearing a hood and a mask, and the whole person was covered.

But Snape saw it at a glance, this is Lucius Malfoy.

The relationship between the two is actually okay.

When I was still studying at Hogwarts, this was my senior, and he helped me a little.

Later, under Voldemort, they were also in the same faction.

After Voldemort fell, the contact between the two did not break off.

So at this moment, I can see who he is at a glance.

"The master is inside, I will take you in"

Seeing Snape outside, Lucius didn't say much, and prepared to take him in.

This property was originally one of the Malfoy family's safe houses outside, and the secret keeper was Lucius himself, which was one of their many retreats.

Voldemort had just contacted me today and asked me for this safe house.

There was no other way. There were only a few Death Eaters.

I was the only one who could provide a safe house.

Although Barty Crouch Jr. was one of the 28 Sacred Clans, the Crouch familyIt is also an old political family with a lot of wealth.

But Barty Crouch Jr. can't inherit anything at all. He has been imprisoned in the basement for so many years and treated as a dead person.

On the surface, Barty Crouch has no descendants and has long handed over the inheritance rights to another branch.

Now that Barty Crouch has been killed, Barty Crouch Jr. can't control any of the Crouch family's resources at all.

Lucius had no choice but to hand over this pretty good safe house.

The safe house that can be turned into a retreat by the head of the Malfoy family, although the building specifications are not as good as some old houses that have been passed down for thousands of years, it is definitely better than most wizard families.

They arrived a little earlier than Snape.

After that day, the remaining few people lived together during this period.

After receiving Voldemort's summons, they all came together.

Now they are just waiting for Snape, and judging from Voldemort's appearance, he has something to announce.

In addition, the curse on them has not been lifted yet, and they can only suppress it by magic, but this also causes unbearable pain every day.

After walking into the safe house behind Lucius and looking around, Snape whispered to Lucius:

"Master, what is the matter with this call?"

In Snape's opinion, Lucius should know something, and it would be better to know it earlier so that he can be prepared later.

"You will know when you see him later."

Lucius did not dare to say more about Voldemort's situation.

They were not sure what task they would have later, but they could guess Snape's task.

There was no way. When they saw Voldemort just now, they were also frightened by Voldemort's miserable appearance.

I didn't expect to be beaten like that by the Balrog. Although I saw Voldemort being beaten throughout the whole process that day, I certainly couldn't see the details clearly, and I didn't know how badly Voldemort was injured.

Now it seems that Voldemort was far more miserable than I and others had imagined.

But even if I knew, Lucius didn't dare to say much.

They are all Death Eaters, and they all have their own secrets. Who can trust whom?

If I can't say more, I won't say more.

The two walked through the hallway and came to the living room. The others were waiting here.

Looking at the people in front of him, Snape also realized that these were probably the only few Death Eaters who were still outside and obeyed Voldemort.

The Malfoys, Barty Crouch Jr., Crabbe, Goyle, Mandel,

There are also some who are probably like Karlov who have clearly defected.

The few people here didn't communicate much, just standing here.

About ten minutes later, the side door was opened and a thin figure walked in from outside, with slow steps and a slight limp.

But Snape and the others did not dare to look at him any more. They all lowered their heads and showed the most humble attitude of submission..

"Welcome to this gathering!"

Voldemort sat down on the only chair and spoke slowly in a hoarse voice.

His scarlet eyes looked at the people below, full of madness and brutality. (To read the violent novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

He knew that his current state was very bad, but he had to suppress everything with a tough attitude.

"Maybe some of you are not happy to see me."

Voldemort's cold eyes like a snake swept over everyone.

"You can't be blamed for this. Most of you were there that day. The long-established Dark Lord was beaten and fled by a newcomer. You think I'm just like that, right!"

"Perhaps, you think you can switch to another sect, such as the Balrog or the Mind Flayer?"

Voldemort's low voice echoed in the empty antechamber, but no one dared to respond.

Over the years, Voldemort's pressure in their hearts is still very heavy. Even if he is now in a state of great disability, they dare not make any changes.

Looking at the several Death Eaters who were extremely honest below, Voldemort knew what they were thinking.

If they didn't have the Dark Mark he had put on them, so that he could clearly locate them, and there was also his own curse threat.

At this moment, he was not even sure whether Barty Crouch Jr. could obey his call, let alone other people who had no loyalty at all.

However, it was because I lost the fight, there is nothing to say about that.

"No, that's just because the master has just been resurrected and has not adapted to the new body yet, so he can't exert his true strength."

". The master is the most powerful dark wizard in history, and is definitely not comparable to a mere Balrog."

It was still Barty Crouch who stepped forward and gave Voldemort a way out.

Otherwise, Voldemort would really be a one-man show. []

"You're right, Barty!"

"I just resurrected and can't even exert half of my strength, but failure is failure, there is nothing to hide about this."

Voldemort nodded with satisfaction, as expected, Barty understood him.

Although he really couldn't beat him and his strength was at its peak, he couldn't admit this, even if he was deceiving himself.

"My strength has not recovered yet, and I still have some injuries, so don't clash with the Balrog for the time being."

"Now, I have a few tasks for you."

Speaking of this, Voldemort glanced at the people below.

It was still Barty Crouch Jr. who stepped forward first.

"Please give me your orders, Master."

Seeing this scene, Voldemort couldn't help but sigh, how great it would be if he had more people like this under his command.

"Well, first of all, we need to rescue our compatriots in Azkaban."

"Mandel, I'll leave it to you., you get the information, and I will do it myself. "

There is no one available now, and it would be best to give this task to Lucius.

But now he is being targeted by the Auror team of the Ministry of Magic.

After all, what happened at Malfoy Manor that day was too big to be hidden.

Even though Lucius reluctantly explained it later, he was still targeted and labeled as a suspect.

Even now, I am hiding my identity, which Lucius explained when they met.

I will also need Lucius's help later, so it is naturally impossible to force him to complete an impossible goal at this moment.

Mandel, although in the family They are not as powerful and well-connected as the Malfoy family, but their targets are small and they are not targeted this time, which makes it easier for them to act.

Besides, they still have to take action themselves in the end, otherwise, even if they get the news, they can't do anything.

As for Crabbe and Goyle, these two are the followers of the Malfoy family. They are not very capable. Voldemort is afraid of messing up if he gives them the task.

And Mandel, who received the task, even if he was a little reluctant, had no right to refuse, and agreed on the spot.

"Little Barty, I need you to go to the Alps to contact the giants and win them over. ”

Now the power in his hands is seriously insufficient. With only a few people, how can he fight against Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic?

Even among the dark wizards, there are now Balrogs and Mind Flayers.

Although the Balrog is alone, the Mind Flayer has many subordinates.

After fighting with the Balrog, Voldemort now dares not underestimate these younger generations.

Otherwise, if he is not careful, people will really die.

So, now Voldemort is eager to increase the power in his hands.

The first thing is to welcome back his old subordinates.

Capture the Death Eaters imprisoned in Azkaban, their abilities and loyalty are very important. The speed is guaranteed, and they must be rescued.

Then there are foreign aids.

As for the other dark wizards, they suffered a great defeat. More than ten years ago, they were defeated by the savior in his infancy. Compared with the other two, their appeal is definitely much smaller. It is estimated that not many people are willing to join them.

Then we can only find some other races.

The werewolves were destroyed in Great Britain in the early years, and the werewolves from other countries did not dare to come here, so we just pass this point.

There are not many remaining races that are intelligent and can fight, and can stand on our side. Giants are one of them.

"Yes!"

Little Barty Crouch also agreed immediately.

"I know you still have the curse on you. I will remove it for you in three days, and then we can take action. "

Voldemort can naturally remove the curse on several people.

But he is not in good condition now, and it is not enough to rely on the spell alone, and some preparations must be made.Work. .
