Chapter 176 The Death Eaters' Call

It took several days for Cyrus to get the special wand from Ollivander.

The wand couldn't tell what material it was made of, but it was inlaid with blue crystals in the middle. When he swung it, Cyrus felt that the magic was dull, like a sewer filled with filthy water.

It seems that just as the guardian said, this is a wand that can only be used in the secret vault. It is not so much a magic wand as it is the key to the secret vault door.

Cyrus was about to go to the underground cave of Qiuzhi Pavilion when a new text suddenly penetrated his mind——

Lupine betrayed and Harry was captured again.

——

Time goes back to a while ago.

As agreed, Harry went to see Lupin at the weekend.

Hermione and Ron originally proposed to go together, but Harry refused.

Ron and Hermione didn't doubt Lupine, but they were a little too concerned about Harry. The scar was left by You-Know-Who. Although Remus Lupine was a good professor, he obviously couldn't compare with You-Know-Who. .

"Don't worry, Professor Lupin is just helping me look at the scar. If he can't solve it, he will tell Cyrus or Mr. Dumbledore."

"Remember what you said, if you can't solve it, go find Mr. Sellers!" Hermione was very serious about this matter, because Harry was still having nightmares these two nights, and the contents of the dreams were getting more and more terrifying.

Originally he only dreamed of snakes, but now he could dream of a baby with a snake face. The baby's eyes were full of wisdom and viciousness, and he could also open his mouth to speak.

They all agreed that the child was Voldemort himself.

Ron gave a guess: If he turned into a baby, it meant that he had been resurrected, but it would still take time. And I don’t think he needs to wait more than ten years to grow up, what do you think? "

This answer made all three of them, even Ginny, feel very uneasy.

Both Hermione and Ginny suggested contacting Cyrus directly, but Harry was still a little worried. He wanted to go to Lupine first and see before talking. He insisted that if Voldemort really planned to resurrect, it would not be less than a few days later.

So, with tired eyes and a pale face, Harry knocked on the door of Lupin's office.

"come in."

Harry opened the door with a creak. The office was darker than before. He looked up and saw a thin figure leaning on the desk and chair, his face unclear.

The coldness that hit him made Harry wake up a lot. He felt that something was wrong for a moment, but at this time, the dark figure in the office had walked down, revealing a face that made Harry feel familiar.

It was Professor Remus Lupin, as gentle as ever.

"Sorry, Harry, I forgot to turn on the light." Lupine said softly, "But there is no need to turn on the light. Let's go to the Forbidden Forest today."

As he spoke, he walked up to Harry, holding a box in his hand, as if he had packed all his luggage in advance.

"You look like you're going on a trip," Harry joked.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ping nodded seriously: "Maybe."

"Take you to the mysterious man and let him see for himself what's wrong with your scars!" Lupine said, walking to Harry's side, reaching out to lift up some of Harry's messy hair, exposing the Scars of fear.

Because I have been in pain recently, the scar looks like a swollen gum, very red, and even the surrounding skin looks completely injured.

"Always hurting?"

"Never stopped," said Harry.

Lupine let go of his hand and said matter-of-factly: "Based on what you told me before, I guess your scar must have some connection with Voldemort himself. When his mood fluctuates violently, your scar will "

Harry immediately thought of Ron's guess.

"Do you think he might have been resurrected?"

"If that's the case, then he must have summoned those Death Eaters." Lupine shook his head, "But I guess he is probably about to be resurrected, maybe he is just one step away from resurrection."

The same answer obviously has different effects when spoken by different people.

When Ron said this guess, Harry only thought that he was being alarmist, but when Lupine said the same guess, Harry could understand the seriousness of this matter even more.

"Maybe we should go find Professor Dumbledore..."

"Unfortunately, the principal is not in the castle now." Lupine shook his head. "Due to some international affairs, he had to leave Hogwarts and go to the Ministry of Magic to discuss with them."

Dumbledore's departure was certainly not a coincidence.

In fact, he and Voldemort worked together to deceive Dumbledore into going to the Ministry of Magic through the Triwizard Tournament. They have already used the same method once, and the effect is still the same.

Dumbledore would not be at Hogwarts this whole day, and Barty Jr. also contacted the Death Eaters and asked Lucius to find connections to block the floo network, completely cutting off the Ministry of Magic from the outside world for this day. connect.

By the time Dumbledore came to his senses, the Dark Lord had already been resurrected!

"Then Mr. Sellers..."

"No, Harry, there is no need to rush." ​​Lupine said quickly.

He didn't want the fake to know about it right away.

In fact, Cyrus was indeed part of the plan. Voldemort planned to wait for himself to be resurrected, and then personally deal with Cyrus, the "fake", in front of all the Death Eaters. On the one hand, it was to demonstrate the terrible power of the Dark Lord after his resurrection, and on the other hand, it was also to obtain ancient magic.

"The most urgent thing is to deal with your scar first. Let's go, let's go to the Forbidden Forest to find some herbs."

Lupin held the suitcase in one hand and grabbed Harry with the other hand, and the two walked out together.

During this period, the heavy snow in Hogwarts has melted, and even the surface of the Black Lake is no longer frozen, but the wind blowing in the face is still very cold and very damp, like a large basin of cold water poured into the inside of the lapel.

To be honest, in the past few years, Harry often went on night tours, but he never dared to go to the Forbidden Forest alone.

The experience of the Forbidden Forest in the past two years has made him know how terrifying it is here, centaurs, poachers, acromantic giant spiders... God knows how many magical animals there are?

But it was a different feeling to travel with a professor. He felt at ease now, as if the animals in the Forbidden Forest were nothing.

They saw Hagrid on the road. The enthusiastic half-blood giant happily invited them to the hut for tea and rock cakes.

However, both Lupin and Harry declined.

"I'll take Harry to the Forbidden Forest to find some herbs." Lupin said calmly, and it was not obvious that he was planning an evil plan at the moment.

The two of them stepped into the damp forest together. The cold wind poured in from the forest, making Harry couldn't help but shrink his shoulders. Lupin cast a spell on him intimately, and Harry immediately felt warmed up.

"Cold dispel." Lupin said with a smile, "Secretly tell you, this is a spell invented by Snape. He always has a lot of novel ideas, but later many of them were learned by your father. At that time, James always used the spell invented by Snape to bully him."

Harry heard Lupin talk about his father, especially when he heard that he defeated Snape, and he felt so happy.

But in fact, some things always sound so light. If those bullying scenes were shown in front of Harry, Harry would understand that his admiration for his father was so inappropriate.

Fortunately, Lupin changed his words and said seriously: "Don't be proud of it, Harry. It is not a good thing to bully others with your own strength. It is no different from the mysterious man. We did a lot of stupid things back then. Now I think about it, I actually regret it."

At least - Remus Lupin regrets it.

"But I think Snape deserves it." Harry said angrily, "You know how hateful he is! I bet that if Voldemort is resurrected, as long as he has the chance, he will definitely kill me and take my life to see Voldemort. He hates me!"

"It's Professor Snape!" Lupin just emphasized this sentence and did not comment on Harry's other words.

Whether Severus Snape is still loyal to the Dark Lord remains to be seen. Although he followed the Dark Lord's orders and lurked beside Dumbledore, after so many years, it is hard to guarantee that this undercover agent has not developed other thoughts.

But now it seems that at least the other party has no good feelings towards Harry Potter.

However——

Harry Potter, Lily and James' son, Barty Jr. believes that Snape has reason to hate him.

They walked a long way, and Harry thought it might be farther than the camp of the Acromantula, because they passed a large depression that seemed to have been burned by fire. It was no longer recognizable, but he guessed that it might be the nest of the Acromantula.

It used to be.

"Okay, we're here." Lupin moved his body, stopped in an open place, and threw the suitcase in his hand to the ground, "It's far enough."

He licked his dry lips, and looked at Harry with more and more strange eyes.

"Professor Lupin, what herbs are we looking for?" Harry said with half-closed eyes. He felt that his scar was more painful than before, as if someone was chopping his forehead with a blunt axe.

"We are not looking for herbs, Harry." Harry suddenly found that Lupin's voice had changed, becoming strange and familiar.

He seemed to have heard this voice somewhere, but the memory was already vague.

"Professor?" He took a step back and subconsciously picked up the wand. But a red light was faster than his speed, and it hit Harry's hand like lightning. The next moment, the wand in Harry's hand flew out and fell into the other hand of "Lupin".

"Expelliarmus!"

"Professor?!"

Harry's eyes were full of doubts and confusion, as well as deep vigilance. He put one hand in his pocket, and there was a fake Galleon in his pocket.

The previous one had been destroyed by Voldemort, and this one was remade by Cyrus later. As long as the magic power was released into it, Cyrus would feel it.

But "Lupin" did not give Harry any chance.

"Stop your tricks, Harry." He waved his hand, and the fake Galleon in Harry's pocket flew out like a bullet, and then was destroyed by a spell in mid-air.

"You are not Professor Lupin? Who are you?!" Although Harry had completely lost the ability to protect himself, he still did not retreat. His green eyes stared at the fake Lupin. He didn't even believe that Lupin was a traitor.

"You are smart, Harry, but also stupid."

"Lupin's" face swelled up, as if thousands of spiders were crawling under his skin, trying to tear his skin and rush out.

Then, a face Harry had seen appeared in front of him.

It was the person in his dream.

"Crouch!" Harry's eyes were about to burst.

Without thinking, he turned his head and began to flee in the direction of the Forbidden Forest, but how could he match the speed of the spell?

"It's me, Harry." Little Barty laughed coldly, then waved his wand vigorously, and two thorns with thorns came out from nowhere, tightly binding Harry like steel wire. The thorns kept tightening, and the sharp thorns cut Harry's skin, and blood fell.

"The master won't let me kill you, but I can let you suffer first." Little Barty sneered.

"Harry, fly here." Harry, who was tied up tightly, immediately flew to Little Barty's feet. He stepped on Harry's chest, bent down and grabbed Harry's collar, and lifted him up.

The next moment, the lock of the suitcase opened automatically, and there was nothing inside except an inconspicuous empty cup. Little Barty dragged Harry and reached out to grab the cup-

Snap!

The Forbidden Forest was suddenly empty.

Ten minutes later, a group of invisible creatures followed the smell of blood and surrounded it, wandering here.

——

"Hua--"

A sound of wings folding.

The golden eagle fell from the sky, and the moment its wings fell, it turned into a windbreaker. The blond boy slowly stood up and looked at the professors and Harry's good friends who were waiting for him on the astronomy tower.

The four deans were all there, as well as the haggard Lupin and the anxious Sirius.

"Cyrus, Harry has been captured!" McGonagall looked at Cyrus anxiously, "We can't contact Albus now, so we can only ask you for help!"

It was she who suggested asking Cyrus for help.

Although she didn't fully trust Cyrus, McGonagall, who was worried about the safety of the students, couldn't care too much at this time.

"Can you find the location of the fake Galleon you used to contact Harry last time?!" Sirius asked hurriedly.

"No, the other one should have been destroyed." Cyrus had tried it in advance. He looked at the people present and asked about what happened.

"It's my fault," Lupin was just rescued from a cabinet in the professor's office. He looked very weak and his hair was missing a large piece. "This semester, Barty Crouch Jr. has been pretending to be me, and Harry was taken away by him!"

"Now is not the time to entangle who is right or wrong." Cyrus said in a deep voice. Without Galleon, he didn't know where Harry went, but Snape, who had been silent all the time, suddenly covered his arm.

Sweat flowed from his forehead, as if he was suffering from painful punishment, but he didn't make any sound. He looked at Cyrus with a dead look and said something that surprised Hermione and others:

"He is calling me!"
