I Have a Big Problem with My Hogwarts

Just when Bella successfully got the locket from Black's house, Malfoy also brought a group of Death Eaters to Little Hangleton Town.

The address that Peter took from Voldemort was not easy to find.

Little Hangleton is a Muggle town, and Gaunt's old house, which is the residence of wizards, obviously will not be built in a Muggle gathering place.

Malfoy's team of Death Eaters searched around the town for nearly a day, and finally found an old, dilapidated house four or five kilometers away from Little Hangleton Town.

The walls of the house were covered with moss, and many of the roof tiles had fallen off, exposing the rafters here and there.

Nettles grew thick all around, reaching up to the windows, which were very small and thick with old grime.

The most conspicuous thing was the dead snake nailed to the door that had become a stuffed snake.

"Here it is, this house is exactly as described by the owner."

Along with Malfoy, of course, is Peter.

He was the first point of contact to hear Voldemort tell the location directly, and the ancestral home of the Black family could also allow Bella, a former member of the Black family, to pass by.

And Gaunt's old house is a place that is unfamiliar to them, so Peter must follow.

After getting confirmation from Peter, Malfoy took the lead in pushing open the wooden door that seemed to fall down as soon as it was pushed.

A burst of choking dust hit his face immediately, causing a normally pampered man like Malfoy to cover his mouth and nose and couldn't help frowning.

There are some furniture that has been broken for an unknown period of time in a mess, and the top and floor of each item are covered with dust.

"Which family's house is this? I guess it hasn't been lived in for decades, right?"

Some Death Eaters grunted, but no one answered his question.

Peter did not enter the house, but stood at the door and directed to the Death Eaters.

"Quick search, don't care whose house this is, we are here to find things, not to do archaeology!"

None of the Death Eaters here are the ones who escaped from Azkaban, otherwise Peter would not have dared to speak so arrogantly.

Malfoy followed into the house, but instead of looking around like the other Death Eaters, he squatted on the ground, frowning at something.

Standing in front of the door, Peter always felt that the dead snake nailed to the door seemed to be looking at him with empty eyes.

He could not help but shabby, and then walked to Malfoy's side.

"What are you looking at?"

Malfoy pointed to the dusty ground.

"When we came in, there was a long trail here."

Peter felt that Malfoy's words were strange, and he looked around.

"You mean someone was in here before we came?"

Malfoy narrowed his eyes and shook his head.

"Look carefully, these are not human footprints, but something slipped past here."

The trace that his finger pointed to was not obvious, because the trace was not without dust, but the dust was very shallow, far from giving people the feeling of age as in other places.

"Ah, we found a trace, something unusual, but what's the use?"

Peter said impatiently.

Since he came to this old house, he has been a little restless, and he has not shown much patience.

Malfoy stood up and clapped his hands.

"Maybe it has no effect, or it may be related to our life and death."

He said casually, and then he stopped paying attention to this discovery on the ground, but looked at the Death Eaters who were rummaging for the ring.

This old house is not too big, it can even be said to be pocket-sized compared to the Malfoy family's house.

Several Death Eaters rummaged through boxes and cabinets for a while, and basically searched everything here.

"Nobody found the ring?" Peter demanded loudly in disbelief.

The final result was not smooth, and the Death Eaters did not find anything related to the ring in this old house.

They didn't even find a tiny ring.

"It's impossible! The master said that if you take it here, it must be there! Look for it again! It must be found!"

Peter looked anxious.

He knew Voldemort's methods well, and Peter didn't even dare to think about what would happen if the task he had given him was not completed.

The Death Eaters rummaged through the house again, following his orders.

This time they moved all the furniture outside the house, and carefully inspected every inch of the house. They didn't even let go of the two mouse holes, but they didn't find anything.

These Death Eaters were sure that there was no black stone ring in the house.

This time Peter was thoroughly terrified.

If he didn't find out, let alone the Dark Lord's side, he couldn't explain it, just going back to Bella's crazy woman would be enough for him.

She didn't care about whether there was a ring in this room, she only cared about the Dark Lord's mission not being fulfilled.

At that time, Peter will have to be laid down by her no matter what.

"Impossible! The master said there must be one here!"

Peter went through all the furniture that was moved out by himself, and then searched every corner of the house by himself, but the result was the same.

Malfoy was very calm at this time. After all, if he was really unlucky, the unlucky one would still be Peter. This was a task specially entrusted to him by the Dark Lord.

But he didn't gloat and just watched like this. When the Dark Lord got angry, no matter who it was, he might be implicated if he had a little relationship.

"Master's words can't be wrong. Since he said that there is that ring in this room, then there must be it here."

First, he firmly established his political stance that all the masters were right, and then Malfoy carefully analyzed the possibility of this matter.

"Since the ring was originally in this room, if we haven't found it now, it means that someone took it away before us."

Peter looked at him eagerly, taking Malfoy as his only hope.

"You mean that mark you saw on the floor earlier? The thing that made that mark stole the ring!"

Malfoy didn't answer Peter's question.

He looked at the scattered Muggle huts in the distance, and said softly.

"We need to find out more about this."

Peter and Malfoy were not allowed to do it themselves, and soon a Death Eater caught a Muggle from the house closest to Gaunt's old house.

Malfoy stared at the Muggle who had been cast with the Imperius Curse, and his eyes became dull, with undisguised disgust in his eyes.

"Has anyone else been in this house?"

Then the middle-aged man mechanically shook his head and replied.

"No, no one has ever entered here."

"Not necessarily people, have you ever seen anything else come in?"

The middle-aged man thought for a long time in silence

"...a year ago, there was a big, thick snake, and I saw it crawl into this house"
