The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

"What do you want?"

Seeing Karkaroff and others walking towards him, Harry said warily.

He already had a bad opinion of Karkaroff due to his background as a former Death Eater.

What's more, their two schools are still competing in the Triwizard Tournament, and most importantly, the game is still in progress. As a member of the referee, Karkaroff should stay on the referee's bench now. , why did you come here in person?

Thinking like this, Harry had a vague premonition in his heart and took a few steps back involuntarily.

"Don't be nervous Harry, we are here to help you and we don't mean any harm."

Karkaroff said with a smile, but instead of stopping, he quickened his pace as he spoke.

Although Harry is a bit naive, he is not stupid!

Seeing this, alarm bells rang in his heart, so he turned around and rushed towards Ravenclaw Tower.

When he thought about it, he would definitely not be able to escape due to the numerical gap between the two sides. Only by relying on the Sphinx to temporarily stop Karkaroff and others could he have a chance of survival.

However, Harry obviously overestimated the Sphinx's fighting power and courage.

Seeing Harry rushing towards him again with a group of strong and fierce wizards, the Sphinx, who had been showing off his teeth and domineering in front of Harry before, did not hesitate at all and turned around at an alarming speed. Escaped from the tower and disappeared.

"Ah this..."

Harry stared dumbfounded in the direction where the Sphinx left. This scene shocked him so much that he even slowed down his steps.

But just after such a delay, Karkaroff and others behind him caught up.

"It's true that you don't have to pay for the toast." Karkaroff still walked leisurely at the back, and gave orders triumphantly, "Stop the ink stains and catch him!"

Upon hearing this, the tall boy with short hair at the front of the chasing team smiled ferociously, and the wand in his hand suddenly flicked out a gray light!

"Drill the heart and gouge out the bone!"

"what?"

Link was so shocked that he shouted out.

As one of the three unforgivable curses, he had been taught by Moody that he was very familiar with the Cruciatus Curse.

What's more, he had also heard about Neville's parents being tortured to the point of going crazy.

Harry never dreamed that he would experience this terrible curse one day.

For a moment, Harry was so shocked that he couldn't even cast an Armor Protection Charm.

The gray light came in an instant, and Harry closed his eyes in despair.

But at this critical moment, a dark straight magic wand was swung out with magic power, directly dissipating the gray light!

Then starting from the wrist holding the wand, a tall man in black robe gradually appeared from the void.

The ferocious smiles on the faces of the Durmstrang students disappeared, replaced by incomparable solemnity.

Karkaroff, who had been hiding further back, turned pale when he saw this.

At the same time, Harry, who had closed his eyes and waited for doom to come, opened his eyes in confusion.

He looked at the man standing in front of him and asked almost instinctively:

"Snape? Why are you here?"

Snape ignored Harry at all and just curled his lips in dissatisfaction upon hearing this.

What Harry didn't know was that although Snape's mission was to patrol the entire arena with Professor McGonagall and the others, he had actually been with Harry the entire time, protecting Harry's safety at all times.

Of course, the reason this arrogant guy gave Professor McGonagall was that he liked to observe Harry's torture up close.

After a brief silence, Snape finally sorted out the mood that had become a little worse due to Harry's rude questioning, and said with a look of disdain:

"Karkaroff, I think I've warned you, haven't I? Why do you want to die now?"

Snape did have the right to despise Karkaroff.

The difference in strength between the two was as big as heaven and earth. Snape could easily defeat Karkaroff even with only [-]% of his strength.

The most important thing is that in Snape's eyes, Karkaroff is still a fool who can only play tricks.

Just like now, only Karkaroff could do the stupid thing of bringing a dozen or twenty students to Hogwarts to attack Harry.

What surprised Snape was that when Karkaroff heard this, he did not panic like before, or nodded in agreement, but instead roared with an angry look on his face:

"Snape, you despicable traitor! You don't really think I'm afraid of you, do you? You are no longer qualified to sit on my head and shit! Come on!"

Immediately, the Durmstrang students who were still standing there with solemn expressions actually raised their wands again after hearing this, and fired a scarlet barrage neatly.

"Block the car with the mantis arm."

Snape shook his head disdainfully and said, and with a wave of his wand, a translucent protective shield completely enveloped him and Harry.

He even had enough energy to launch a rescue firework into the sky to summon Professor McGonagall and the others.

Immediately, red fireworks for help exploded in the dark night sky, and the barrage quietly descended.

Dozens of curses hit the protective shield directly, shattering it into pieces. Then Snape released an extra layer of protective shield to be able to block these curses.

Now it was Snape's turn to be surprised.

Because the spell strength of these Durmstrang students in front of them is far from what normal students can achieve, but more like some professionally trained adult wizards.

Thinking like this, Snape suddenly had a terrible suspicion in his mind.

'Could these so-called students be Death Eaters in disguise? '

The more Snape thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and if this was really the case, did it mean that Karkaroff had actually contacted Voldemort long ago?

Snape's expression was a little gloomy. As a double agent, he could never offend Voldemort.

But Harry also had to be protected.

So the only way now is to pretend not to notice this and continue fighting.

After thinking thoroughly, Snape no longer held back, and with the surge of magic power in his body, he shot out various curses one after another, and for a while he actually resisted the attacks of the dozen or twenty Death Eaters.

During this period, Harry also reacted and joined the battle to help Snape with his lame spells.

Unfortunately, there are simply too many enemies.

Seeing that Snape could not be killed by concentrated fire, the Death Eaters disguised as Durmstrang students directly changed their formation, leaving only half of the manpower to stay in place and delay Snape. The men spread out and continued to charge towards Harry!

Snape's expression changed greatly when he saw this, and he immediately pushed Harry into the Ravenclaw Tower.

Now Harry was just a drag to him. Under the current situation where the number of people was not dominant, he could only do this to delay time until Link on the tower and other professors around him arrived.

But Karkaroff was not prepared to give him this opportunity.

Accompanied by Karkaroff's roar, almost all the Death Eaters rushed towards Harry like crazy. Under the attack of massive spells, Snape was finally pushed back, and the remaining one The Death Eater who had been hiding in the dark suddenly jumped out and grabbed Harry's arm!

"Successful!"

The Death Eater roared and used his other hand to pry open a sealed bottle.

The next moment, the space at the mouth of the bottle began to twist in a spiral shape, directly pulling Harry and all of it in.

Snape, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, was so blinded that his magic power suddenly surged due to his emotions, directly knocking away all the Death Eaters surrounding him.

But that's it.

Karkaroff and the other Death Eaters didn't give Snape a chance to continue his revenge. They imitated the previous Death Eaters and activated the portkey in mid-air.

The space portals were activated instantly, and all Snape's angry attacks fell into the void.

"No!"

The appearance of this scene drove Snape into a state of hysterical madness. While roaring and screaming, he moved his eyes to the two sealed bottles carefully placed on the scene.

Karkaroff threw this away just before disappearing. After finishing it, he glanced at Snape provocatively, as if asking Snape if he dared to chase after him.

The key's destination must be a trap.

Snape knew this.

Normally he would not be fooled.

But now Harry's anger at being kidnapped has completely defeated his reason, which was carefully protected by the Occlumency spell. As a result, without any hesitation, he stepped forward and opened the cap of one of the Portkey bottles. .

The space portal opened again, and the potion bottle door key clung to Snape's palm, leading him to fly into the void.

After a period of terrifying twisting and spinning, Snape's feet finally landed on the ground again.

Snape, who was well prepared, instantly put on a layer of reinforced armor to protect himself, but the expected concentrated fire did not appear.

Only then did Snape slowly raise his head and take stock of his surroundings.

This place is now completely beyond the boundaries of Hogwarts.

From Snape's perspective, this place looked like a wasteland. Although it was already early summer, there were only some withered, yellow and undernourished weeds growing sparsely on the ground here. He could even vaguely see some The remains of the building were buried in the soil, making it look like an ancient ruin.

Of course, the most important moment was that dozens of Death Eaters wearing jet-black robes and high hats designed to cover their faces had surrounded him and were smiling evilly at him.

Although I don't know why these Death Eaters didn't take advantage of the opportunity to attack, Snape, who was eager to save Ha, would not be polite to them. He immediately pulled out his wand and was about to attack.

But before he could actually release any magic, a sudden sharp pain in his arm forced him to throw the wand away.

Snape's expression was extremely ugly.

He lifted up his sleeves and took a look, and sure enough he saw that the mark of the black devil on his arm seemed to be alive at the moment and was squirming crazily under the blood-red light.

At the same time, the originally tight human wall gradually gave way to a path, and then, a wretched-looking Peter Pettigrew came to a position slightly further away from Snape, holding a swaddle in his arms.

"Severus, it seems that you have made up your mind to betray me, right?"

The hoarse and terrifying voice slowly floated out from the swaddling clothes, causing the surrounding Death Eaters to instantly become silent.

Snape's performance was even worse.

The Dark Mark was originally created by Voldemort simply as a mark. However, as Voldemort's character became more and more violent, the Dark Mark was gradually perfected and became more and more terrifying.

Today's perfect black demon mark not only has long-distance sensing capabilities, but can also inflict inhuman torture on the owner of the mark, and the pain of this torture is not inferior to the Cruciatus Curse.

And now, Snape is obviously suffering from this kind of torture.

Seeing Snape trembling and curled up on the ground, the Death Eaters nearby all burst into gloating laughter.

Karkaroff laughed especially loudly. He had been threatened and insulted by Snape these days.

"Misunderstanding, I...I didn't, I just didn't know you were back..."

Snape said while holding back the pain.

As soon as this was said, the Death Eaters beside him laughed even more proudly, but Voldemort suddenly lifted the torture on Snape.

This sudden change caused the laughter around them to stop abruptly. The Death Eaters looked at the infant Voldemort in surprise, as if they couldn't believe it.

You know, what Voldemort usually hates most are traitors.

"Hmph! Let's just assume that you have passed the test for the time being!" Voldemort said again, "Go and wait aside for now, I have to wait for our next guest!"

"Next guest?"

Snape, who had just recovered from the pain, was startled and couldn't help but murmur.

"Yes, strictly speaking, the next guest is our most important guest! Hahaha!"

As soon as Voldemort said this, the Death Eaters beside him also laughed evilly.

But Snape's expression became worse and worse.

There was an ominous premonition in his heart.

……

Meanwhile, on the platform at the top of Ravenclaw Tower.

The other distinguished guest Voldemort mentioned - Link finally ran out of patience after a long wait. He sighed and reached out to grab the gorgeous trophy.

[The Triwizard Tournament championship achievement has been achieved!Gold skill point*1 has been obtained! 】

The golden barrage slowly drifted past Link's eyes, but Link didn't feel the slightest bit surprised.

Compared to a gold skill point, Voldemort's cowardice and caution disappointed him even more.

But at this moment, the expression of the gargoyle stone statue, which had been silent at the side, changed, and Link spoke:

"Link Foley, the portrait downstairs told me that a fight just broke out below. Harry Potter and the Potions Professor who never washes his hair seemed to have been taken away with a portkey!"

"what!?"

Link turned his head suddenly and said, his face couldn't tell whether he was surprised or panicked.

When the gargoyle stone statue heard this, it was about to continue its statement, but before it could say anything, it saw that Link had jumped directly from the platform.
