demon hunter at hogwarts

On the ridge at the southern end of the Island of the Dead, gorse grows in the crevices of the rocks.

A man wearing a cloak and a hood walked up the hillside step by step, casually crushing the wild flowers under his feet, seemingly completely disdainful of this plant that once represented a Muggle era.

After reaching the top of the mountain, the man looked at the winding coastline to the north and the caves hidden below by the tide. He was just about to express some emotion when he heard a "pop" and another person appeared from the void.

As soon as the man appeared, he raised his wand and pointed it at the hooded man's chest, as if performing a very unique greeting ceremony. However, the hooded man kept his hands in his pockets and had no intention of taking out a weapon to resist.

"You're late." After looking at each other for about ten seconds, the person holding the wand said coldly, "Master doesn't like to wait too long."

The hooded man said in an unpleasant voice like metal friction: "I have made the master wait for ten years, which is an unforgivable crime... I only hope that the master can give me a chance to kill him for him. A few naysayers to atone. There's only so much I can do... Where's my wand?"

"No matter how good our personal relationship is, I can't give you the wand without the owner's permission... You should understand this." The tone of the man holding the wand was still cold.

"I've been in Azkaban for too long, and my brain has become a little slow." The empty-handed man smiled mockingly to himself, and took off his hood, revealing a head of messy dark hair and a pale, twisted long face.

If there is anyone here who experienced the first Wizarding War ten years ago, they will all recognize this man's name, Antonin Dolohov.

As the oldest among the Death Eaters and ranked first in combat effectiveness, Antonin Dolohov was the sharpest knife under Voldemort. Countless Muggles were tortured to death under his hands, and When he faced Voldemort's opponents, he was even more cruel.Gideon Prewett, a former member of the Order of the Phoenix, and his brother Fabian were brutally murdered in an attack planned by Dolohov.

After Voldemort lost power, Dolohov still tried to resist, but was eventually captured by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic. Together with nine other heinous accomplices, Dolohov was imprisoned in the deepest cell of Azkaban and subjected to the most severe punishment. Strict supervision.

Everything is as it should be.

But at this moment, this heinous Death Eater suddenly appeared in Scotland.Like several of his associates, escaped Azkaban's custody.

Dolokhov moved his neck, and his cervical vertebrae made a series of heart-stopping clicking sounds.

Then he stretched out a hand as bony as a skeleton, pointed to the cave in the distance and said: "So Barty, you have been hiding here? I don't think it is much better than Azkaban..."

"Hide?" Barty Crouch Jr. stuffed his wand into the inner pocket of his cloak and turned to look north. "This is a good word... Both the master and I... have been hiding for too long. Time...you know, when the master first found me, I originally thought that these days were coming to an end."

"If the master finds out that you are complaining, we will all be punished." Dolohov's distorted facial features looked particularly scary in the moonlight.

"Of course the master knows what we are talking about, but he is kind and will not punish us for such a trivial matter..." Little Barty said, "But your current state is definitely not enough to complete the master's request... The master needs A capable servant, not a useless body. I feel sorry for Travers and Rolle, who were unable to complete even a small task."

"I heard about this... They want to capture a Hogwarts teacher alive." Dolohov spat, "You should do this kind of thing that requires brainpower... As for us, more I like a more direct approach.”

After speaking, a weak purple flame suddenly bloomed on the tip of Dolohov's finger.

Little Barty certainly knew what this flame was: Dolohov's original spell, a flame that could directly burn the soul. During the First Wizarding War, countless wizards died under this flame.

So he turned his head, stared into Dolohov's eyes and said, "I take back what I just said. It seems that after ten years in Azkaban, your skills have not been wasted too much."

"Thank you for the compliment." Dolohov said with a strange smile, "Speaking of which, I should thank you... You know, during the ten years in Azkaban, I imagined various ways to escape. But I never thought that everything would be so simple...those idiots from the Ministry of Magic..."

"In this world, there are a lot of guys like this who are not very capable but very ambitious." There was no fluctuation in Barty's tone. "You can stand here chatting with me, thanks to the Ministry of Magic." Those idiots...Corban Yaxley finally did something decent. His position has always been unstable, and I really wasted a lot of time trying to 'convince' him this time."

"So the Imperius Curse in Umbridge was done by Yaxley?" Dolohov asked in surprise, "In my impression, he doesn't seem to be able to do such delicate work. The person...if it is Lucius, it is still possible."

"I can only say that we were all deceived by his appearance..." Little Barty shook his head, "But now that I think about it, if Yaxley was really the reckless man we imagined, he would not be able to escape the Ministry of Magic's trial. , and even found himself a position in the ministry..."

After a moment, Barty Jr. added: "Of course, the one who is living the best life now is Igor. He is already the principal of Durmstrang."

"That filthy, smelly traitor... Thanks to him, August and I became neighbors in Azkaban..." Dolohov said viciously.

"So, the master once considered rescuing Rookwood first, because the main target this time is Karkarlov." Little Barty said, "But after careful consideration, the master still thinks that you are the most suitable candidate. .”

"Oh?" Dolokhov showed a playful smile, "Is it because I am more familiar with Eastern Europe?"

"It can only be said to be one of the reasons. The more important factor is that personal hatred can easily make us lose our due judgment. This operation is of great importance. We need a living Igor, not a dead Kaka. Love." Little Barty said seriously, "This is very important, you must remember this requirement..."

"I don't like to act with half-knowledge." Dolokhov's eyebrows rose. "Why don't you let me go to see the master? What are you planning?"

"About this matter, I will explain..." Little Barty stopped in the middle of speaking, and raised his wand to point at the end of the mountain road behind him.

There were distinct footsteps coming from there.

Purple flames ignited at Dolohov's fingertips again.

Although the power of this flame is less than one-third of its usual strength without a wand, it is still a dangerous weapon that no one can ignore if used for self-protection.

Soon, two figures emerged from the darkness, a man and a woman.

The woman is tall and has thick black hair. She is Bellatrix.

The other person was not Travers, or even Yaxley, or anyone else.

Instead, he was a handsome wizard with blond hair and blue eyes, a bright smile.

"Leave the explanation to me." Bella said in a warning tone, "Barty, you have revealed too much information that should not be disclosed."

Gu Blink</span>Little Barty didn't say anything, just smiled and put away the wand.

"So I still have news that I shouldn't know?" Dolohov seemed quite dissatisfied when he heard Bella's statement.

"This has its own master to make the judgment." Bella said, "Or do you have doubts about the master's decision?"

Bella brought out Voldemort to suppress her, and Dolokhov naturally did not dare to say anything, but when he turned his eyes and saw the strange man next to him, he immediately grinned, showing his yellow teeth, and said in a mocking tone: "How many times?" I haven’t seen you for a month, but you look good. Maybe Rodolphus won’t recognize you when he sees you again. Is this your new friend? Can you introduce him to me? "

As the two most powerful combatants among the Death Eaters, Bella and Dolohov are also competitive with each other and have never been convinced by each other.

Similarly, because of their fear of each other, they only dared to fight secretly in the past and did not dare to fight openly.

Because if anyone does something outrageous, Voldemort will not take the feelings of his subordinates into consideration when punishing him.

However, they did not hesitate to use their words when they could decide the outcome.

Dolohov is not an idiot. Of course he knows that the marriage between Bella and Rodolphus Lestrange is in name only. It is just that the Black family and the Lestrange family, two pure-blood wizarding families with a long history, want to maintain their marriage. A marriage based on influence.

When it comes to feelings, Rodolphus probably only has awe...or fear for this powerful and ruthless wife. This is not difficult to explain why Rodolphus and his brother Rabastan only follow Bella's lead.

The veteran Death Eaters could all more or less sense Bella's unusual fanaticism towards their master.Also out of fear of Voldemort and Bella, almost all Death Eaters kept this topic secret.

But Dolokhov is not among them. In terms of status and power, he and Bella are equally matched, and there is no need to be afraid of her.

Upon hearing this, Bella's expression changed, her big eyes narrowed dangerously, and she already had the wand in her hand.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, little Barty was about to smooth things over when he heard the man raise a hand.

Little Barty immediately closed his mouth and said nothing, and Bella did not raise the hand holding the wand.

He said slowly: "I should introduce myself to avoid any misunderstanding among you... Gilderoy Lockhart, nice to meet you, Mr. Dolohov."

After speaking, Lockhart smiled, stretched out his hand, and gestured to shake Dolohov's hand.

There was a brief silence on the cliff.

Dolokhov's heart was agitated.

Of course he knew that Bella and Barty were both unruly people. In their hearts, Voldemort was the only one who could give them orders. As for the words of others, they never paid attention to them.

How come you have so much respect today for Gilderoy Lockhart, whom you have never heard of?

Did he stay in Azkaban for too long and miss some important information?

Lockhart's hand was still stretched out in the air, and the smile on his face became thicker and thicker, but there was an undetectable flash of red in his eyes. .seven

Dolohov keenly caught this red light, and an idea quickly penetrated his mind. Then without hesitation, he reached out and took Lockhart's right hand.

"Look at me." Lockhart still maintained a smiling expression, but his tone suddenly became callous.

Dolohov subconsciously raised his head and met Lockhart's eyes.

When he woke up, he found that he was already kneeling on the ground, his back was completely soaked with cold sweat at some point. Next to him, only little Barty stood quietly, and Bella and Lockhart had disappeared.

"It's unbelievable, right?" Little Barty suddenly said, "When I first learned about this, my reaction was not much better than yours... But this is what the master can do. Those mediocre wizards, even No qualifications imaginable.”

Dolokhov climbed up from the ground and said: "I probably know the master's purpose of capturing Karkarov alive... For Karkarov, this punishment is a hundred times more cruel than killing him. If O Gust would be very happy if he knew about it.”

"I hope you won't disappoint the master." Little Barty took out a wand from his pocket, threw it to Dolohov, and then took out the wand himself, "Let me see how much ability you have left."

Dolokhov took the wand and gestured left and right. A purple flame rose from his feet and instantly dried his sweat-soaked clothes.

"It's not as good as my original one, but it's still pretty handy." His long, pale face twisted with excitement, a hint of a grin appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the wand in his hand danced in many patterns like a medieval swordsman. A powerful poisonous curse suddenly shot out and flew towards Little Barty.

Little Barty nimbly dodged the attack, and the spell blasted several large craters in the ground.

"It seems that you are not completely rusty yet." Little Barty kept talking and spelling. A blue electric spark condensed and formed on the tip of the wand, and then he whipped it towards Dolohov like a whip. .

Dolokhov immediately fired back, and the two of them waved their wands like swordsmen, and the spells collided and exploded in the air, like a fireworks display.

In terms of strength, both of them are the best among Death Eaters, Dolohov is even better, but because he has stayed in Azkaban for too long, his physical and mental conditions are not very good, and the use of the wand is new. It didn't go smoothly, and a few minutes later he was knocked to the ground by Barty Jr., and the wand was also confiscated.

"Your current condition is not good enough." Little Barty threw the wand back to Dolohov. "Logically, you should rest for a month before taking action, but we don't have much time. The Ministry of Magic are all idiots, Deng. Bullido is not stupid..."

"You will hear good news soon."

After Dolohov finished speaking, he apparated directly.
