Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin

Chapter 329 327. Never stand in the wrong team

In a small room in Hogsmeade, a group of Death Eaters headed by Karkaroff were sitting together.

"Mr. Karkaroff, thanks to your advice, we were not caught by Aurors like McNeil and Nott."

"I originally thought it was 'that one' who came back, but I didn't expect it to be a trap."

The man whose head was hidden in a gray hood spoke.

Unlike the group of Death Eaters who were captured in Voldemort's father's graveyard and were among the best in the wizarding world, these Death Eaters were at the level of the general class in terms of both magical level and status. They were what Voldemort called the 'rabble'.

Yes, there are also class divisions among Death Eaters. Strictly speaking, this is the case wherever there are people, no matter where they are.

Karkaroff was arrested that year. In order to avoid being imprisoned in Azkaban, he betrayed a group of senior Death Eaters. Although he successfully survived, it also caused him to be ostracized by the "surviving" Death Eater senior leaders. outside the circle.

But who doesn’t have a few friends?

He was excluded from the high-level circle, but he was integrated into the second class below the top Death Eaters. It was precisely because of the support of this group of Death Eaters that he was able to go to Dem after the Wizengamot Trial. Strong School became principal.

"Of course. Joseph, my friend, we should help each other."

"Just like you helped me back then."

Karkaroff said while chewing his two unique rows of yellow teeth. It was obvious that he was in a very good mood at this time.

If Dudley hadn't told him a few days ago that it was the plan of the thief named 'Tom', maybe he would have followed.

"Those guys above should be fine. They will be released soon."

Joseph nodded, not doubting the authenticity of Karkaroff's words.

Karkaroff knew so well because this was what Dudley told him.

The group of Death Eaters were dealt with in the Wizengamot, and now more than 30% of the Wizengamot members are openly related to the Carrow family. The Carrow family is the Dursley representative of almost the entire Wizengamot. The consensus of the Slytherins at Hogwarts.

Maybe after this incident, this value will become 60% or more.

In order not to go to Azkaban, those Death Eaters would agree to whatever conditions they put forward. Don't expect them to have much backbone. The higher they are, the more they are afraid of death.

Power may be a treasure to those who have climbed up from the bottom, but for the truly powerful families, it is just to avoid the limelight for a while and then get it back.

"Karkaroff, is 'that one' really back?"

Joseph looked at the door unconsciously when he said this, his voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.

The others also looked at the same place along with Joseph's words, waiting quietly for Karkaroff's answer, not even daring to take a breath.

"Joseph, there are some things it's better not to know too much about."

Karkaroff did not answer directly, but gave him an ambiguous answer. It was impossible for him to answer the other party directly, even if Dudley did not specifically explain it.

Joseph nodded knowingly.

It seemed ambiguous, but it was actually an answer to him.

This kind of thing can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

"Karkaroff, if you need anything, please feel free to contact us."

“We will do whatever we can to meet the demand.”

Joseph put a bulging small bag into Karkaroff's hands in a very subtle way.

As a friend, I will remind you in this way. Likewise, as a friend, you must also ‘know how to be grateful’.

He gently shook it on his hand and fully felt the weight of the bag. Karkaroff immediately showed a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum blooming on his face, obviously very satisfied with Joseph's superior behavior.

Couldn't help but add another sentence.

"Be prepared"

"The magic world is about to change. In a real sense, no one can stop it. No one can stop it."

"As an old friend, let me give you a piece of advice."

Hearing what Karkaroff said, Joseph and others stretched their necks and listened carefully to his next words.

“Never fall in the wrong line.”

Hearing what Karkaroff said, Joseph and the others had expressions of astonishment on their faces.

The Triwizard Tournament ended successfully with the two warriors of Hogwarts winning at the same time. Although Hogwarts won, the principals of the remaining two schools did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, they seemed very happy with the result.

With one month left before the end of the term, Karkaroff has already taught all the magic he can teach. Even the black magic he is best at - curses, there is nothing left to teach the fourth grade wizards. , all that remains is practical operation.

So the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts was replaced by Professor Moody. Although Moody's skills were almost wiped out, fortunately he lived long enough and had enough experience to be able to teach some other magic skills for learning.

Time came smoothly to June 1995, and it was time for the final exam. With the arrival of the end of semester holiday, the students of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, under the leadership of their principals, came to the same school. way back to their respective schools.

Before leaving, Professor Hagrid and Ms. Maxim from the Care of Magical Creatures class reluctantly said goodbye. In fact, the two of them had exchanged contact information and had made an appointment to get together during the holidays after Ms. Maxim returned and settled the school affairs. gather.

In order to spend a pleasant vacation together, Hagrid also borrowed a sum of money from Dudley. It is difficult to move forward without gold Galleons in the wizarding world, especially for a hugely expensive project like dating. Hagrid has not saved much over the years, and he basically uses what he has.

They said they were borrowing, but strictly speaking they were selling. Dudley took some things from his cabin.

Do not underestimate the wealth of a Forbidden Forest Keeper.

The little bit of stuff Hagrid poked out from under his fingernails was enough for an ordinary wizard to eat and drink for a lifetime. Even a rich man like Malfoy would not be so extravagant as to make a kennel out of unicorn hair, but Hagrid knew that the little kennel his Tooth Hound slept in was handmade from pure unicorn hair.

This nest is enough for an ordinary wizard to feed him for a lifetime.

Since the end of the Triwizard Tournament, Dudley had become even busier, often alone in the Room of Requirement.

Harry and the others were all used to this kind of thing, and they were most likely tinkering with some new potion.

This time, however, they guessed wrong.

Dudley was not researching new potions, but trying alchemy.

"Winning the Triwizard Tournament and successfully touching Voldemort's nose."

"Obtained: Magic Gift Production LV1."

Dudley's harvest this time.
