From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"You can't do this, Master Barty."

"I'm going to teach those guys a lesson."

"Please, Master Barty."

"Get out of the way, Winky - I'm going to teach those guys a lesson, those despicable, dirty guys, they're disloyal, they've done nothing!"

"You can't do this, the master will be sad, young master..."

"Please, Master...Master has caused enough trouble for that bad fellow named Bertha by making him stupid. If you are discovered..."

The house elf Sparkle sobbed and advised her master, trying to intercept him with her small body.

Like her master, she couldn't use the Imperius Curse to calm him down, or even make him comatose. The only thing she could do was to use magic to tie her to Master Barty, and then use words to Physical limitations prevented him from getting into trouble with the marchers outside.

"I heard their voices, those traitors, those disloyal guys, they can obviously find the Dark Lord freely!"

Little Barty shook his head hard, trying to shake off the last effects of the Imperius Curse, but he failed.

Winky quickly grabbed him and used magical power to control him out of the tent and headed for the relative safety of the bush area.

This was one of the few rights she had to take Barty to a safe area when he lost control of himself.

After settling Barty and making sure that no bugs or other things could bite him, Shining felt relieved and began to carefully check whether there were any loopholes along the way.

"Sky…"

She raised her head and saw a shiny Hogwarts logo floating in the air. She had heard many elves introduce this logo to her.

"Are the people from Hogwarts over there? Then, we have to stay away..."

She hesitated, and finally made the decision to move with little Barty - Master Barty was not suitable to see anyone, the mark was a bit close to them, and she had to stay away from there.

However, just as she carefully moved little Barty, the bushes made a rustling sound.

"Who's over there?"

A young man's voice rang out, and Shining immediately noticed the other person - it was a young man about thirteen or fourteen years old, leaning against a tree with a leisurely look on his face.

It seemed like he was just watching the farce over there, but now he seemed to have noticed the problem here.

Twinkle hesitated and decided to see if he could get away with it.

Master Barty has an invisibility cloak, as long as——

Before she could think clearly, Little Barty made a very obvious noise.

There was no need to think about disguise this time. The boy clutched the wand tightly and tried to...

Winky stretched out her finger, and a magic hit the blond boy directly, causing him to pass out.

"Master Batty..."

She tried to say something, but little Barty quickly leaned over with a hint of pleasure.

"I recognized this kid from the box—old Lucius's kid."

He kicked the fallen boy on the arm, the smile on his face twisted.

"I was squatting in Azkaban, and that guy was sitting outside - instead of looking for his master, he became the guest of that idiot minister of the Ministry of Magic."

He added another kick, and the look on his face became more ferocious.

"The old one is pretending to be a masked man outside, and the young one is hiding here watching the show..."

"Master Barty, don't cause trouble to the master!"

Twinkle exclaimed - I don't know when, little Barty picked up the wand of the boy who fell to the ground!

However, Barty raised his wand without hesitation and cast a spell at the sky.

"The bones reappear!"

As soon as he cast the spell, he immediately threw the wand on the body of the unconscious child, then put on the invisibility cloak and shouted towards Winky, "Run!"

He knew very well that he would not be able to escape under Twinkle's surveillance. Although she was loyal, she prioritized executing her father's orders.

Since he chose to teach that traitor a lesson, he had to drop the wand and walk away with Winky.

He remained loyal to the Dark Lord - although he didn't think he could escape his father's guard, nor did he think he could leave Winky alone.

The purpose of marking this mark was to teach the disloyal person a lesson, and to tell those guys that there were loyal servants of the Dark Lord watching them.

Without Winky's help, he would just be captured in Azkaban again, instead of being able to teach those guys a lesson like he is now.

Sure enough, Winky didn't even have time to scold him.

She hurriedly grabbed him and apparated away.

——

"hiss…"

Those who hurried to the Hogwarts mark saw a horrific scene.

Screams came from their mouths involuntarily.

A rather terrifying mark appeared on the sky. It was a huge skeleton made of countless turquoise star-like things. From the skull's mouth, a snake snaked out, like a snake that caused nausea. tongue.

Those memories that had been sealed because of the long peace immediately emerged, along with the fears that had been hidden for many years.

The crowd that was still watching almost without any hesitation began to rush towards the shining Hogwarts mark in the distance.

Compared with now, the panic just now is nothing to mention.

Originally, they were even slightly grateful that they had escaped from such a chaotic scene, and planned to use it as a talking point, but now——

No one was stupid enough to think about the issue of talking. They felt as if something was stuck around their necks, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

A dozen years ago, a huge sign like this would have meant death...

And further away, many people choose to escape into the darker places of the night - if it is that kind of mark... the professors of Hogwarts can really...

They didn't dare think about it anymore, but their legs responded appropriately.

——

"That is…"

William sat on the tree stump, and he kept alert and saw the sign flying into the air at a glance.

It took almost no effort for him to recognize the huge logo.

Among the information about the Dark Lord and Death Eaters, the Dark Mark that marks death is quite famous.

'who? Could it be the Dark Lord? ’

Such an idea immediately came to his mind, but was quickly rejected by himself.

He remembers Fudge's camp very clearly. If the Dark Mark rises there, there is a high probability that the Dark Lord has really resurrected and taken action, but in the distance - it should be used by Death Eaters.

In the presence of Fudge, the deaths of other wizards are not worthy of a Dark Mark. According to the known information, the Dark Lord himself is so proud of himself that it would be too shameful to kill an ordinary wizard instead of the Minister of Magic after his comeback. It doesn't make sense anymore.

I have never heard of a world champion coming back from retirement to prove himself by competing in provincial competitions. That would be too funny.

Even if they were in the first grade again, only he and Lupine, the two self-defense professors, would be worthy of being resurrected as the Dark Lord. After all, there were rumors that the Dark Lord didn't like this class.

Therefore, there is a high probability that his mark was displayed. In order to prevent their own momentum from being overwhelmed, the masked guys on the opposite side chose to show the mark of the dark devil.

But this is not certain - getting the Dark Mark is equivalent to directly marking one's location.

Originally, their best cover was the frightened people who were so panicked that they couldn't tell where the disruptive team was. Once the mark was posted, didn't they just leave the teleportation coordinates for the Aurors?

‘You shouldn’t be so stupid, right? ’

William even had the urge to apparate over and take a look - but unfortunately, there were too many people on his side who needed to be appeased, and he had to calm people down first.

"There's a high probability that it's the masked ones, but I don't rule out the worse possibility."

"All parents please take your children with you immediately and keep them awake."

"The existing defense system can last for more than ten minutes. If something goes wrong, I will leave you more than five minutes to escape after disapparating."

"If someone is not satisfied with the defensive measures, they can bring their family and torches and leave in a direction away from the signs."

William was very anxious, and the loud voice suppressed what everyone was trying to mutter.

"Those leaving were allowed to take a piece of food with them, but the rioters simply canceled the supplies and were kicked out of the camp."

"Okay, everyone can make their own choices."

He canceled the sound casting that he blessed, leaving the choice to those parents who hesitated when they saw the mark.

Arrogant orders are definitely useless, just let those who try to leave leave.

He would definitely not run away anyway - since Lupine was asked to punch out the school badge, he would definitely stand here. What does it mean to be scared away by a mark?

He was going to kill the guy who cast the curse in the future, so what else could he do if he was so afraid of a mark?

The children were brought out after being knocked out by the sleeping children. When the cool summer breeze blew, they fell asleep again and could not stand firmly leaning on their parents.

However, after waking up the children, not many people were willing to leave the camp - everyone has a group mentality, and besides, they couldn't even enjoy the campfire if they left here, let alone the unknown risks outside.

Didn't Professor William say that there was a high probability that the masked guys thought the school badge was cool and imitators released the Dark Mark - then think of the good and don't care about the somewhat scary options listed. …

How should I put it? Although everyone was scared when the professor just said it, but after carefully recalling some reports from the Daily Prophet and Professor William's first reaction when he saw the masked man, they felt that this professor It may indeed be a bit...well, a bit too cautious.

After thinking about this clearly and considering the comparison of strength, the most eager people gave up the option of leaving - are there more cautious guardians outside than here? Do you hide out and expect the batters who don't know when they will arrive?

Although the child was still with them, everyone relaxed their vigilance and sat down around the fire. They even compared which child's sleeping position was weirder...

After the initial panic, the camp regained its calm - the worst-case scenario they imagined was not as severe as the professor's assumption... What else were there to worry about...

——

"The Dark Mark!"

Fudge, who was on his way, frowned, and then relaxed unnoticed.

"How dare you be so provocative - arrest those daring guys!"

Fudge himself wasn't too scared. He had enough Aurors around him. What's more, because of Sirius, he had to make up for what happened some time ago. He knew very well that after the collapse of the mysterious man, this kind of dark mark was in the magical world. How many times has it appeared.

This time it's just another Death Eater showing his presence - it's not a big deal, it might even be a good thing.

"Yes, Minister!"

The leader of the striker shouted with great fighting spirit - the biggest reason why those masked guys were able to fight until now was that they caused enough panic, but the positions were constantly changing, resulting in the hastily mobilized team with insufficient numbers. Fazi besieged them.

But he dared to reveal his location with the Dark Mark - his wand was not a decoration!

After leaving enough manpower for the minister, he apparated away directly and began to recruit a team of strikers that he could contact. Then he gathered together and quickly apparated towards the black mark.

'The Dark Mark - the work of the remaining Death Eaters, the remnants of the trial many years ago...'

'This is a danger left over from the original Ministry of Magic. Well, by the way, we can help Hogwarts use Mad-Eye to report on it to show our determination to fight against the Death Eaters...'

'It would be nice if he was also in the camp...'

'But what we need to do now is to quickly go to the sign and then guard it all night...'

Fudge took the lead and walked at the front.

"Speed ​​up, we have to ensure the safety of students!"

——

"Collapse!"

Hundreds of sleeping spells were flying in the woods, and burning red light was raging in the woods.

The attackers, who had been frustrated for half the night, poured out their magic spells, hoping to make those disgusting enemies stay with something.

After the sleeping spell passed, they started rummaging around with their wands.

Under such intensive attacks, something will always be left behind - even if it is just some items, they can find the original owner based on the items.

"There's a discovery!"

one of the beaters yelled.

Everyone quickly gathered around.

"It's a student... Help - if the public knows that we accidentally injured a student!"

An older hitter who was closest to him hurriedly shouted - they know better than anyone else how big things are going to happen tonight, and if they have the reputation of accidentally injuring a student...

"Wait a minute, test his wand to see if he's a spellcaster!"

Another striker stopped him, then took the wand, "Flashback Flash Spell!"

Under the gaze of many strikers, a very terrifying skeleton spitting out snakes appeared from the place where the two wands met.

It was almost like the shadow of the mark in the sky, a magical ghost made of thick gray smoke.

"We found something."

The testing striker licked his lips, "I wonder if you remember, his family used to-"

The memory of the Death Eater interrogation fourteen years ago was not forgotten so quickly. As soon as it was mentioned, everyone remembered the verdict of that year.
