[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Chapter 228 Escape from the Dead

Harry, who was tied to the tombstone, watched the fake Moody respectfully put on a black robe for his master, "Congratulations, my master."

At their feet, Wormtail, who had lost one arm, twitched in pain. He wept and begged in a low voice: "Master-Master... Please, you promised..."

Voldemort ignored him, admiring his regained body in ecstasy, stroking his body with his slender fingers in a gesture that made Harry sick.

"Barty, stretch out your arms." Finally, Voldemort sighed contentedly, and ordered to the fake Moody beside him.

Little Batty immediately rolled up his sleeve skillfully, exposing his left arm.Harry saw a bright red pattern on the skin of his left arm, like a strange tattoo.Harry had seen that mark before at the Quidditch World Cup that summer - the infamous Dark Mark.

Voldemort looked at the mark as if admiring a work of art, muttering to himself: "They will all know I'm back..."

He pressed his slender index finger on the Dark Mark on Little Barty's arm.The mark turned dark all of a sudden, "Now I want to see how many of them still have the guts to come back...and how many of them are stupid enough not to come back?"

Voldemort turned around and walked barefoot in front of Harry who was tied to the tombstone, ignoring Wormtail who was rolling on the ground begging in pain, with a sneer on his face. "Harry Potter, we meet again."

"Yeah..." When Voldemort stood in front of him, Harry suddenly felt the scar on his forehead and the wound cut by Wormtail burning hot at the same time.He used all his strength to create a shield in his mind, to protect what he didn't want to reveal, lest Voldemort learn too much from his brain.

"Shouldn't you show a little surprise for our meeting again, Harry?" Voldemort smiled coldly, his blood-red eyes looked at Harry carefully: "You feel incredible, don't you... Ah, Moody, How could Dumbledore's loyal friend and follower suddenly become Voldemort's servant?"

"I did fail because of you," he raised his head, and let out a pleasant and terrifying laugh, "but fortunately, I still have some loyal followers to help me, not everyone will leave me when I fail go……"

A gust of wind blew, and there were rustling sounds in the surrounding woods. Harry found that just as Voldemort was speaking, wizards in black cloaks and silver masks apparated into the cemetery one after another. .Although Harry couldn't see their faces, each of them acted terrified, hesitant, and couldn't believe their eyes, and the air was breathlessly silent.

"Merry Christmas, my friends." When everyone stood up, Voldemort had a creepy smile on his face, and stretched out his arms, like a host welcoming guests at a Christmas party, and said kindly .

The figures wrapped in black robes and silver masks were not delighted by Voldemort's friendly tone. On the contrary, they all approached him tremblingly, almost trembling.

Finally, a person took the initiative to walk quickly in front of Voldemort, knelt at his feet and kissed the hem of his robe, then got up and stepped aside.This person respectfully kissed the foot of the robe while calling in a low voice: "Master...Master..."

Harry's eyes widened suddenly. Although the man's voice was very low and soft, he could still recognize that it was Aunt Jody's voice!His breathing became a little short unconsciously, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

Voldemort seemed to hear Harry's panting, and turned his head to look at Harry with his terrifying red eyes. Seeing his angry look, his lipless mouth seemed to turn up slightly.But Voldemort said nothing, and turned back to continue to accept the worship of his followers.

After Jody, the fake Moody in the same black robe and silver mask, and every Death Eater who came here did the same, they stood up after kissing Voldemort's robe feet, and stepped aside , standing in a circle, enclosing Harry, Voldemort, and Wormtail slumped on the ground, sobbing.

"It's been 14 years...it's been 14 years since we last got together..." Voldemort said softly. "I am very glad that you still answered my call. I think this proves that you are still willing to continue our common goals and ideals in the past, and are willing to continue to be loyal to Voldemort, don't you?"

Most of the circle seemed to tremble when Voldemort asked this.Especially when the big snake next to Voldemort crawled in front of them.

Harry clenched his fists tightly, looked at everything in front of him, and finally locked his eyes on Jody.

"I smell guilt..." Voldemort sucked at his snake-like nostrils with two slits, "Feel guilty? Very good... In that case, why don't you come to help your master? Knowing that He should be when he needs help the most?"

No one answered.

"Of course, I know what you're all thinking—you think I've failed, disappeared, and can't come back, so you're rushing to get rid of me, saying you're just under the control of a black magic, Cleared of all charges and back to your decent lives, aren't you, Lucius?"

Voldemort paced and stopped at a point in the circle.

Harry saw a strand of long light blond hair poking out from under the hood of the man, and he knew it was Lucius Malfoy, and Harry wasn't surprised at all that he was a Death Eater.

"Master, in fact I have always been loyal to you, you know..." Lucius' voice was hoarse, and Harry could hear the panic when he spoke. "You know what I've done...forgive me, forgive me..."

"Yes, yes, I know what you did..." Voldemort let out a snort from his nostrils, as if he had heard a good joke.He paused, and looked at Lucius in front of him who was stiff with satisfaction, "However, I will not forgive you, the 14-year debt...you have to pay it back slowly, of course, what you do can It can be regarded as repaying some, and Wormtail has already repaid some..."

He approached Wormtail, and kicked Wormtail once, "Voldemort never treats those who helped him badly, so..."

He waved the wand in his hand, and a hand as bright as silver was attached to Wormtail's severed arm.Immediately, Wormtail's arm stopped bleeding, and the pain seemed to disappear.

"Thank you, thank you, my master." Wormtail admired his newbie ecstatically, kissed Voldemort's robe feet reverently, and returned to his place in the circle.

Voldemort continued to walk in front of the Death Eaters. He occasionally stopped in front of a Death Eater and said a few words, as if he was very satisfied with their panicked gestures. Stop in front of the car and recall whether the man is dead or remains in Azkaban.

Finally, he came to the biggest opening.There were only two people standing there, Jody and Barty Jr.There was still space between two or three of them.

"I should thank you for your loyalty, Jody, Barty." Voldemort's tone was almost cordial, which caused a slight commotion among the Death Eaters.Harry was surprised to see their horrified exchange of glances.

Of course he didn't know, and it was certainly a shock to these Death Eaters.Jody Potter's whereabouts have been unknown since the Dark Lord disappeared, and Barty Crouch Jr. should have died in Azkaban more than ten years ago.

"It was their hard work that allowed me to get a most satisfying Christmas gift, bringing a special guest to our Christmas party today, I think you must have noticed—the famous Harry Potter !"

The Death Eaters looked at Harry who was tied to the tombstone in unison. Harry finally had a chance to meet Jody's eyes.He stared at the cold and terrifying silver mask, as if wishing he could see through it.Too bad he couldn't even see his aunt's eyes, the mask made her eyes look like two black holes.

Harry's fists clenched tighter.

"Master, can you tell us..." Lucius glanced at Harry and asked tentatively. "How did you accomplish such a miracle and come back to us?"

"Ah, yes, I think you'd all like to know, too, wouldn't you? They all said the boy was my nemesis, so I failed... No, it's not like that, it's just a normal, oh, maybe now A little clever boy. But when he was a baby, what special power did he have against Voldemort?" Voldemort gradually raised his voice. "On the night when I lost my body and magic power, I wanted to kill him, but his mother died to save him, which gave him a little special protection..."

"I was too negligent at the beginning," Voldemort stretched out his finger, and the action could be called gently pushing away Harry's bangs, as if he had just touched the Dark Mark and touched the lightning-shaped scar. "I neglected a very ancient dispel spell, so my own spell was bounced back on me. The spell was powerful, of course... But I didn't die! Although I was stripped*, although I was more humble than the Ghosts are worse, but I'm still alive. I, Voldemort, have gone farther than anyone else, and it turns out that's not my bragging. I can regain my strength, but I need a body, and every magic that helps me needs Wand, I thought a loyal Death Eater would come to my aid soon, but... I waited so long..."

There was an uneasy commotion among the Death Eaters.

"I thought I might never wait for a wizard who would help me again." Voldemort sneered. "However, in the end I waited. Fate favored Voldemort. Jody came to my side, brought what I needed, and helped me create a preliminary body with unicorn blood and Nagini's venom. Traveling and accumulating strength, she is really thoughtful."

"..." Jody bent down humbly.

"Of course, there is also Wormtail. Although he didn't come back to me because he was loyal to me, he is at least a strong servant who can take care of my weak... The bone of my father, the flesh of my servant, the blood of my enemy... …When I decided to use this black magic to recreate my physical body, I was sure that I must use Harry Potter's blood, and let his mother's protection flow in my blood at the same time, so as to make me stronger."

"But Dumbledore protected him well, and Wormtail failed ignominiously in his attempt to bring me Harry Potter, but Barty did, posing as Moody and sneaking in Dumbledore brought Harry to me under his nose! He did a great job, look, that muggle-loving fool is too old to recognize his old friend, I hope none of you actually send Hope in the protection of his love..."

"Oh, it's also thanks to Lucius for freeing Barty from the control and captivity of his cruel father, isn't it?"

"Now, I can touch this boy casually..." Voldemort stroked Harry's cheek with his fingers, then suddenly took a step back, raised his wand and pointed it at Harry: "Crucio!"

Harry had never felt such pain before. He felt that his whole body was almost crushed. He lowered his eyes, gritted his teeth and insisted on maintaining his sanity under the pain that could destroy his sanity. He didn't even know the pain in his throat What kind of screams came out.All he knew was that the Death Eaters were laughing, and he couldn't tell if Aunt Jody was laughing too?

"Well, now you all see how ridiculous it is to say that this boy is stronger than me..." Voldemort waved his wand, "Now, I will let you down, and we can have a fair duel, so that you can Witness with your own eyes, among us, who is stronger."

Harry felt himself freed from the tombstone, his wand returned to his hand.The Death Eaters were still standing in a circle, surrounding Harry and Voldemort.

Harry knew what Voldemort was trying to do with his wand, he wanted to humiliate him as much as possible in front of the Death Eaters before killing him.No, he couldn't let him get what he wanted, he couldn't lose face in front of these people.Even if he had to die, he had to die like a real warrior, instead of being teased and exhausted by them.

He tried to fight like a real duel, but compared to Voldemort, his strength was too weak.But neither the Imperius Curse nor the Cruciatus Curse could make him speak according to Voldemort's wishes, or even beg for mercy!

Frustrated by Harry's stubbornness, Voldemort was visibly enraged and seemed to be losing his patience.But this time Harry was prepared, and he dodged behind the tombstone with the agility of a Quidditch player.

"Come out, Harry Potter." Voldemort laughed at Harry's dodge. "Like a hero, your dad didn't hide behind something, he stood in front of the door, trying to get you to escape... He died a heroic death. And your mother, she begged me, she didn't have to die ..."

Voldemort's words hit Harry's nerves more sharply than the Cruciatus Curse, and Harry found every word he heard unbearable.But he didn't immediately get out from behind the tombstone and die.He wanted to find a chance to survive, even if he really couldn't avoid the fate of death, he had to resist at least once before he died, and he would never let Voldemort get his way.

"Expelliarmus!" As Harry rushed out from behind the tombstone, he threw the spell as fast as he could.

Voldemort also emitted that ominous green light at the same time: "—Avada Kedavra!"

Voldemort didn't expect Harry to cast the spell so fast this time. At the same time he fired the green light, the red light from the tip of Harry's wand met the green light in the air.

A miraculous thing happened: the two rays of light seemed to condense together, forming a golden ray, connecting Voldemort and Harry.Caught off guard by both of them, they soar into the air...

Harry saw the horrified expression on Voldemort's face, and the golden light began to scatter, but the connection between wand and wand did not break.The golden light just now shattered into pieces of golden light, and those golden lights wove a large golden net in the air, enclosing Harry and Voldemort like a cage.

"Don't move!" Voldemort shouted to those Death Eaters who were about to move.The horror in his blood-red eyes grew, and he seemed to be desperately trying to break the connection, but the connection was stronger than he'd imagined.

He instinctively felt that he must not break the connection, but it became more and more difficult to maintain the connection, his wand trembled violently, and large beads of light appeared in the connected light filament.The bead of light moved back and forth between Harry and Voldemort, and the closer it was to Harry, the more violently Harry felt the wand in his hand shake.

Harry stared straight at Voldemort opposite him, and felt a burst of pleasure seeing his panic expression and the fear in his red eyes.The bead of light trembled and moved in the direction of Voldemort.

Slowly, beads of light penetrated into the tip of Voldemort's wand, Harry looked at Voldemort's face, the expression on his face could even be called fear now... because his wand let out a scream of pain... …

Then, a human hand emerged from the tip of Voldemort's wand, then an old man Harry didn't know, a witch... Harry hoped that he might be able to see his parents, but neither Lily Potter nor James Potter Appeared, followed by wizards and wizards Harry didn't know, and Muggles...

These ghosts who died at the hands of Voldemort walked along the golden light, encouraging Harry, and at the same time said to Voldemort something Harry couldn't hear... "We will buy you time, boy..." The ghosts said to Harry Leigh said, "You know what to do..."

I know?I know what to do?

Harry blinked his eyes in bewilderment. He lowered his head and saw those Death Eaters circling in panic below them, not knowing what to do.He fixed his eyes on one of the most familiar figures, she looked like everyone else, but she was standing in the only direction... Harry suddenly remembered what he had said to Dumbledore... He felt that he I don't have the strength to continue to support this connection...

The moment the golden thread broke, the ghosts gathered around Voldemort, preventing him from seeing the direction in which Harry was running.Harry fell to the ground, got up on both hands and feet, and instinctively ran desperately in one direction of the circle - that was the direction where Aunt Jody was standing.This was his last desperate effort, a bet he made with himself.

Unexpectedly, just after running two steps, he felt as if he had kicked a stone and fell hard.He lay prone on the cold ground, looking at what he kicked in front of him—not a stone, but Moody's magic eye.

Harry clutched the Oculus that tripped him in his palm, feeling hopeless.

But in the next second, Harry suddenly felt an arm grab his arm and pull him up. He felt the palm of this hand was wet and sticky—it was Aunt Jody!Before he had time to be surprised, he felt that he was being pulled.Then he realized he was being pulled behind Aunt Jody.

He heard Aunt Jody utter a series of complex spells in a tone he had never heard before, and then immediately turned around and pulled him to run desperately, as if to get out of a certain restricted area.

"Catch them!"

Harry heard Voldemort's angry growl behind him.What followed were colorful lights flying overhead, but he couldn't hear anything when he felt as if his body was being squeezed into a tube.Aunt Jody, he knew, had Apparated with him.

So, he couldn't hear Voldemort, who finally got rid of the ghost's entanglement, and stopped the Death Eaters who wanted to capture them with a loud sneer: "Let them escape!"
