Hogwarts Homecoming

Hermione suddenly felt that the air around her had become extremely viscous. It seemed that in an instant, she was back in the black lake again. The oppressive air around her was squeezing her body, making her ears buzz. ring.

Ron stopped pulling on Harry, his face turned pale and ugly as if he had a heart attack, and every breath he took was using all his strength.

For an endless second, Hermione and Ron stared blankly at Gabrielle's face, into her emotionless blue eyes, like the windows of an abandoned house.

Death - calm and real

The pain and fear could not be simulated no matter how many times Professor Brain's rock lance penetrated the body.

What happened? What happened?

Winky and the dying Mr. Barty Crouch, the ugly Rumpelstiltskin and a younger Barty. Cliona's graveyard and death.

Hermione felt that the wisdom she was proud of was no longer working. She could not connect the factors she had mastered so far to form a reasonable explanation. She saw the young Barty put the dwarf together in a very respectful manner. He stood on the tombstone that collapsed and conjured a sofa for him. Then, he looked at them, panting, showing an expression of extreme excitement, as if he wanted to tear them apart.

The killing will continue.

Little Barty understands his master. The Mudblood is not qualified to witness the great scene that is about to happen, but the red-haired boy Weasley may be able to survive because of the blood passed down by his ancestors. If he is willing to crawl on the ground. At the feet of the master, serve the master.

"You will make a big mistake, Master Barty."

Twinkle threw herself on the unconscious old Barty and burst into tears. When Barty Crouch Jr. passed by it, its big tear-filled eyes were filled with pleading.

"Just wait and see, Twinkle!"

Little Barty opened his mouth and showed a sickly smile, "I will assist the reborn Dark Lord, and I will get the reward that others dream of, and you, Winky. You also got a reward, right? As an elf, You will be honored to witness the rebirth of the Dark Lord!"

The Dark Lord. Reborn

Crucial information, Hermione thought with a dull expression. She had no time to observe Harry's state and Ron's expression now. The young Barty she saw was probably the one Sirius had told them. Mr. T. Crouch's Death Eater son who died in Azkaban was approaching them again. He raised his wand and locked his ferocious eyes on him.

Something figured out.

Professor Dumbledore and Professor Brain suspected that on the night of the Quidditch final last year, there was a Death Eater lurking in the box they were in and conjuring up the later Dark Mark. This Death Eater, Barty Crouch and Winky Relatedly, he is Barty Crouch Jr.

There were more things. But Hermione had no time to think. She saw Barty Crouch Jr. raising his wand. She understood that after Gabrielle, Barty Crouch Jr. wanted to kill herself first. And why. is her.

Predict your opponent's attack intentions!

A glimmer of light flashed through her absent-minded brown eyes, and Professor Blaine's solemn face appeared in front of Hermione's eyes when he said these words.

It won't be the Kling Curse. She is too close to Harry. It might kill Harry by mistake. The Dark Lord will kill everyone, but he should want to use Harry for something. He won't kill him for the time being. So, little Barty Crouch was trying to get her and Ron away from Harry.

When the evil wind broke through the smoke and hit her, Hermione, who was half-crouching on the ground, suddenly jumped up and waved her wand fiercely.

"Armor protection!"

The curse burst out with a dazzling flash, and the resulting strong wind lifted Hermione's wet hair. She did not choose to stay with Harry, but rushed out to block Harry and Ron.

"Take Harry and leave, quickly, let Karkaroff find a way, if he also wants to live!"

Hermione's sharp shouts were interrupted by the shrill curse light, and she once again summoned a magic barrier to block it. Little Barty's evil magic gave the spell more power. During the physical education class training, the iron armor that had never been broken by the little wizard once again shattered in the impact!

Is this a duel for victory?

No, the purpose is to buy time!

Facing the mocking face that seemed to be laughing at her own overestimation, Hermione's pale face was ignited with flames in her brown pupils.

Under the gloomy sky, a fierce duel began.

Channels of green light flowed through the space and hit the intact or broken tombstones, which erupted into fierce roars. Hermione seemed to have suddenly turned into a flexible cat, and she quickly jumped over the withered vines that were half hanging in the air. , in the pursuit of explosions and deaths, narrowly escaping a death curse.

Take advantage of the environment!

The diffuse smoke, the withered old trees, and the standing ridges all became Hermione's help. She used every opportunity to fight back like the Death Eaters. Stunning curses, petrification curses, crushing curses, disarming curses, obstacle curses, beautiful curses The light hit Barty Crouch Jr. at all tricky angles, sending up billowing smoke!

None of Hermione's attacks could break through Barty Jr.'s defense, but the smooth rhythm of the attacks almost made it impossible for Barty Crouch Jr. to find an appropriate time to attack. Moreover, he did not notice that he Being diverted by Hermione.

Hermione was ready to die, she planned to sacrifice herself to save Harry and herself.

Ron immediately realized this in his heart. His blue eyes were bloodshot and his breathing was like a cow. The moment Hermione rushed out, Ron stood up and wanted to follow and rushed over to help, but he left. Without his support, Harry fell to the ground again with a thud, suffocating his steps.

This is undoubtedly the most difficult choice he has ever faced in his life, to help Hermione fight against that Barty, or to escape from here with Harry. No matter which one he chooses, he will regret it for the rest of his life!

But the Dark Lord is here. It should be that terrible dwarf. If he is resurrected, death will never only exist today!

Ron's eyes were red, and he let out a low growl. He picked up Harry with one hand, and picked up the lifeless Gabrielle with the other hand. He struggled and stumbled and ran towards Karkaroff who was lying limp on the ground. Come to him and kick him hard on the shoulder,

"Get up, you useless piece of trash!"

Ron screamed, staring into Karkaroff's eyes that were filled with despair and fear.

"You find a way to take them away, otherwise we will die here together!"

Karkaroff's body trembling frequency gradually decreased, and he looked at Ron with wide eyes. He couldn't believe that this little boy actually planned to stay here. Didn't he still know who he was facing?

Where does his courage come from?

Seeing Hermione's figure constantly flashing in the ruins and bright light, Ron was so anxious that he gave Karkaroff another hard kick, and this kick landed on the bridge of Karkaroff's nose. , the shape of his nose has a bit of Dumbledore's charm.

Perhaps it was the pain that made Karkaroff sober up. His yellow nails dug into the soil, and his thick knuckles used force to support his body bit by bit as he stood up. He glanced at him and felt weak for some reason, but he was recovering. Harry Potter looked dangerously at Ron.

"Take Harry away!"

Ron gritted his teeth tightly. He knew what this decision might lead to, but he did not dare to hesitate for a moment. Otherwise, he was not sure whether he still had such determination. He forced Harry into Karkaroff's arms. Here, he twisted around and rushed to the battlefield to help Hermione defeat the young Barty.

However, before Ron could take two steps, a big hand grabbed him by the back of his collar, and a huge force dragged him back!

"You idiot!"

Ron yelled, and he turned around and scolded Karkaroff,

"I have to have you!"

A wand was placed between his eyebrows, and Ron's angry voice was cut off immediately. He stared at Karkaroff with a look of disbelief on his face. He didn't understand why Karkaroff did this, but his eyes touched Karkaroff's ferocious eyes. At that moment, a sudden realization suddenly emerged from Ron's heart.

Igor Karkaroff...was a Death Eater!
