demon hunter at hogwarts

Chapter 159 Punishment

Lupine felt a little confused after hearing Regulus' words.

Ghouls are creatures with low intelligence and are usually unable to follow orders.

But this ghoul is obviously different. Since Regulus said so, Lupine decided to wait and see what happens. After all, as an expert on dark magic creatures, he also wanted to see what this kind of ghoul has. Something special.

"Let me see who sent you here." Regulus said to himself and waved his wand at the ghoul. An emerald green light that was almost unrecognizable to the naked eye hit the ghoul.

Only then did Lupine realize that the ghoul, which looked like a corpse, actually still retained a trace of life.

"How did you do it?" Lupine asked in surprise.

"Some tips..." Regulus's expression became weird, "To be honest, entering the brain of a ghoul is not an interesting experience. I might throw up later... I want to say hello to you in advance. "

"At this point, I may have seen as many things as you..." Lupine smiled, "If you vomit, I will run away immediately."

"That's good..." Regulus pointed at the dying ghoul and muttered, "Legilimency...not good!"

As soon as the spell hit the ghoul, the two realized something was wrong.

Fortunately, their reactions were quick. A light shield and a water ball appeared at the same time, covering the ghoul in the middle.

Almost at the same time, the ghoul's head made a muffled sound, and exploded like a rotten watermelon. Green liquid splashed in all directions, and upon contact with the water ball, it made a heart-stopping hissing sound, and a large amount of liquid erupted. The thick yellow and green smoke was immediately poisonous.A large pit has been corroded on the hard rock floor of the cave.

The water ball was immediately corroded and riddled with holes, and the originally blue water turned into a dark green color like a smelly puddle. Fortunately, the light mask outside withstood the test and did not allow the highly toxic substances inside to escape.

"Merlin's freckles!" Lupine was so disgusted that he shrank back, but the wand was not idle. Another light cocoon immediately appeared outside the light shield, and quickly shrank, wrapping the pile of highly toxic liquid inside. Soon, the light cocoon shrank to only the size of a washbasin.

"Disappear without a trace!" Regulus' spell hit the light cocoon accurately, and the light cocoon made a hissing sound and disappeared out of thin air.

Inside the cave, there is only the corroded pit on the ground, still showing traces of the ghouls' past existence.

"I take back what I just said. This thing will definitely not only scare children, but even adults will be frightened into nightmares..." Lu Ping said with lingering fear, "I have to go back and tell Mad-Eye to prepare early. This operation may not be as simple as they imagined."

"I can probably guess what they are thinking, use these things as early warning to prevent anyone from straying into their hiding place... because it is not the time to officially show up yet." Regulus leaned against the wall and expressed his analysis. , "If it is really seen, then even if the Ministry of Magic does not want to admit that the Dark Lord has returned or that a prisoner has escaped from Azkaban, this is not what they want to see... To a certain extent, they hope The Ministry of Magic continues to 'protect' them..."

After a moment of pause, Regulus pointed to the direction where Moody and others were camping and said to Lupine: "Maybe you should tell them the truth?"

"Considering their safety, I am actually inclined to do this, but I am not sure how McNeil will react...I will discuss it with Mad-Eye." Lupine walked out of the cave and looked up at the sky The stars, the quadrilateral formed by Pegasus and Andromeda, were shining softly above their heads. "It's getting late. If I don't go back, they might be anxious."

"Do you need me to see you off?" Regulus also walked out of the cave.

"No, I know the way..." Lu Ping was about to apparate away, but stopped and said, "There are six of us, we can take care of each other, but you..."

"You want to know what the first lesson I taught the first years last year was?" Regulus said easily, "Danger Marks."

"I understand... I hope you won't need this spell." Lupine smiled.

With a crisp explosion, Lupine's figure disappeared from the cave.

At the same time, a hundred miles to the north is the Island of the Dead, where Voldemort is hiding.

Little Barty Crouch hurriedly passed through the three high walls, ignoring the ghouls wandering in the open space, and walked straight into the castle. However, before he reached Voldemort's room, he was greeted by a man with a full head. The tall, lanky wizard with thick gray hair was stopped in the corridor.

"What's going on?" The wizard was half a head taller than Barty. He stared at Barty with malicious eyes over his pointed and long nose, and his voice was cold.

"I only report some things to my master. You have no right to stop me, Travers." Little Barty looked at Travers without showing any signs of weakness.

"Qualifications? Boy, the way you speak makes me very dissatisfied. I have to warn you..." Travers, who is known for being strict and mean to others, was immediately irritated by Barty Jr.'s words. "Regardless of age, In terms of qualifications and family background, you have to listen to me here."

"What you said all proves that age, qualifications and family background are nothing here." Little Barty sneered, "You seem to have forgotten one thing. Who is trying to get you out of Aziz?" Caban fished it out? You actually used this attitude to 'repay' your benefactor?"

"It seems that your father did not teach you how to respect people." Travers angrily pulled out his wand. Of course, he was not known for his magnanimity, and the word "unity with colleagues" was never written in his creed.

"How do you want to teach me a lesson? With your stolen wand?" Little Barty sneered and pulled out his own wand, "If you want to fight, then I will always be with you..."

Travers's brown eyes looked back and forth between Barty's eyes and the tip of the wand, while Barty held the wand at leisure, with a fanatical smile on his face, sticking out his tongue and licking his lips.

"What are you two doing?" A lazy female voice suddenly sounded. Travers and Barty Jr. both put away their wands in time and looked in the direction Bella came out.

That was the room where Voldemort was.

"Barty, I remember that you should be a hundred kilometers south now to ensure that there are no dirty outsiders in our area." Bella walked up to little Barty and looked at him with slightly narrowed eyes.

For a witch, her height can be said to be outstanding.

"In principle, it should be like this... This is also the reason why I rushed back. I need to explain to the master what just happened." Little Barty said lightly, without avoiding Bella's eyes.

"Master has gone to bed, he is very tired." Bella suddenly said in a gentle tone, and Travers couldn't help but frown slightly.

In his impression, no matter from which perspective, the woman Bellatrix Lestrange had nothing to do with the word gentle.

Gu Hu</span>But the next second, Bella's tone immediately changed 180 degrees.

"But if you two dare to miss the master's important event, I will kill you. Now... Barty, tell me, what happened?"

"I don't want to repeat the same thing again." Little Barty ignored Bella's threat at all, "You should have heard how I answered this person just now."

"How dare you talk to me like that!" Bella screamed, her high-pitched voice echoing throughout the corridor, "Do you think I really don't dare to kill you?"

"You can try." Little Barty said coldly.

At this time, Travers was left in the cold.

After being provoked by Little Barty, Bella, who had a bad temper, couldn't bear it any longer. She waved her right hand suddenly, and a barbed whip appeared from the end of the wand, and it curled towards Little Barty's neck like a snake.

Little Barty reacted equally quickly. A powerful iron armor spell was placed between him and Bella, blocking the whip. Then with a wave of his hand, the green flames of the candles on the wall suddenly surged and quickly condensed into a huge flame behind Bella. The snake opened its bloody mouth, trying to swallow her in one gulp.

"Huh! Is this just a kid's trick?" Bella flicked her wrist in a few tricks, and the whip fell from the end of the wand to the ground, and quickly turned into a huge black python, blowing away Barty's fire. The snake was shattered into pieces of light smoke in just three or two strokes.

Then, she pointed the wand at Little Barty with a grin, and shouted her best spell: "Cruciato!"

But at the same time, the same spell was shot from Barty Jr.'s wand. Two Cruciatus Curses of similar power collided in mid-air. The power of the spells pushed the two of them backwards.

Bella's back hit the wall hard, and she let out a groan of pain.But little Barty couldn't stand firm and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"Cut out the bones!" Travers suddenly took action, and he decided to take the opportunity to teach this kid who was rude to him without knowing the height of the world.

Little Barty reacted quickly and hurriedly rolled to the side, preparing to avoid Travers' attack, but the spell failed to hit him.

A ray of red light shot out of Bella's wand, knocking Travers' Cruciatus Curse aside and creating a shallow crater in the ground.

"Who told you to do it!" Bella roared at Travers dissatisfied, "You understand, I am the one teaching him a lesson now! If you make trouble again, I will teach you a lesson next!"

Travers clutched the wand and froze in place, not knowing how to respond to Bella for a moment. In his opinion, this crazy woman was simply unreasonable.

Little Barty took the opportunity to get up from the ground, not forgetting to use his wand to remove the dirt on his body.

"What are you three doing?" A cold voice suddenly came into the corridor.

This voice was not loud, and was even a little weak. It seemed that they were out of breath. However, the three people who were tense just now immediately fell silent after hearing this voice, and did not dare to speak out.

"Owner……"

"Come in." Voldemort's voice was not much higher than a whisper, but it reached the ears of the three people clearly.

Bella immediately opened her long legs and walked into Voldemort's room first. She knelt on the position closest to the sofa where Voldemort was lying. Barty and Travers filed in. When they entered the door, Travers He gave Little Barty a hard look, but Little Barty just pretended not to see it.

"I am very disappointed. You are the only loyal servants around me, but you are killing each other for some... completely meaningless things." When the three people knelt in front of them, Voldemort spoke, "What if Dumbledore knows that it is not the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic who will kill you, but you yourself... I can’t imagine what kind of expression he would have on his old face.”

None of the three planned to explain anything, because they knew that if Voldemort didn't ask you to explain, then it was best for you not to say anything.

"If I had the strength, you would definitely be punished." Voldemort said softly, "Do you think that I am not worthy of your allegiance in my current state?"

"Absolutely not! We just have a temporary disagreement... As for disappointing the master..." Bella said immediately, then she pulled out her wand, pointed at her chest, and said sharply: "Cruciato!"

The spell took effect immediately, and Bella's whole body trembled violently. She had to use her left hand to support her right hand holding the wand to maintain the spell.

After a long half minute, Voldemort said coldly: "That's enough."

After receiving Voldemort's instructions, Bella lifted the spell and collapsed on the ground, panting violently, and her limbs occasionally twitched uncontrollably.

But from beginning to end, she never made a sound of pain.

Little Barty looked at Bella who was lying on the ground with complicated eyes, then he also pulled out his wand and made the same move.In order not to fall short in front of Bella, he gritted his teeth and tried not to make a sound.

After the spell ended, little Barty spit out the blood from his broken gums and flowed into his mouth on the ground, staring at Travers provocatively.

Seeing that he could not escape this disaster, Travers secretly cursed Bella and Barty Jr., but he could only bite the bullet and cast a Cruciatus Curse on himself.

Travers has always been the one who cast the Cruciatus Curse on others. When the pain of being cut into pieces was really inflicted on himself, he still couldn't hold back and screamed in pain.

Bella, who was lying on the ground with her hair disheveled, felt as if she had won when she heard Travers' cry. A smile appeared on her lips and she slowly got up.

"I hope this will help you remember something." After the punishment was over, Voldemort looked at the three pale men without any mercy in his tone, "Now... Barty, you keep saying you have something to tell me, what is it?" Woolen cloth?"

"About a hundred miles south, I found someone entering the forest, and that forest is the only way to this peninsula." Little Barty immediately reported what he saw and heard to Voldemort, " Judging from the action pattern, it should be a wizard. But when I sent out the ghoul that cast the Imperius Curse to test, the ghoul suddenly lost contact with me... I couldn't even get anything from it. Useful feedback.”

"Looks like he's a master." Bella said excitedly.
