Chapter 309: Waiting for the Rabbit (Second Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Amicus and Alecto-Carlo are a Death Eater brother and sister, both of whom come from the Caro family, an "old and noble pure-blood" family, although the Caro family has been in decline in recent years.
The elder brother Amicus was a stout crooked-mouthed man, and the younger sister Alector was a small woman with shaved shoulders, and they were both somewhat hunchbacked, with an ugly pale face and small eyes like green beans.
More than a decade ago, during the First Wizarding War, the Caro siblings worked for the Dark Lord with their father, Akmander Carlo, but in October 1981, the Dark Lord unexpectedly fell...... The elder Carlo was killed by the Aurors during a hunt, and the Carrow siblings spent all of Gringotts' gold and owed the elves a debt to escape Azkaban's prison.
After that, they had to live a life of poverty for more than ten years.
He sold all the silverware, sold the house-elves, and finally mortgaged the manor to the elves...... They huddle in a shop in Tumbledown Alley, struggling to survive every day......
Until two months ago...... Bogin Bock, the owner of the Bogin Bock Magic Shop, quietly tells them the exciting news: "The Dark Lord is back"!
To be honest, the Caro siblings had heard the news about it ten months ago...... But they were just joking, how could the Dark Lord come back, he had disappeared for more than ten years!
But Borgin Burke has always been well-informed and never lies...... The Caro siblings were suspicious and followed Bock to Malfoy Manor.
They actually met the Dark Lord at Malfoy Manor...... The Dark Lord, who looked even stronger than he had been more than a decade ago, praised the loyalty of the Caro siblings (and their father, Caro Sr., to be exact).
At the same time, the Dark Lord ordered the Carol siblings to lie dormant first, waiting for his orders. And he also promised that it wouldn't be long before he would take control of the wizarding world, and all the noble pure-blood families would be restored to their former glory!
With a vision of a better future, the Caro siblings return to Tumbledown Alley...... It wasn't until three days ago that they received orders from the Dark Lord.
This time, the Dark Lord was no longer seen at Malfoy Manor, but in a very remote Muggle house...... The Dark Lord looked weak, and he was reluctant to even show his face in front of the Caro siblings.
However, the Dark Lord gave the siblings a very important task, and he ordered them to go to a village called "Big Hangerton" to find a dilapidated hut...... The house was surrounded by a dense nettle, and a dead snake was nailed to the door.
The Dark Lord told them to go to the hut and find a ring with the "Peverell Crest" engraved on it (actually the symbol of the Deathly Hallows, though Voldemort didn't know about it).
The Dark Lord promised them that if they found the ring, they would bring it back...... They will be able to receive supreme glory, countless rewards, and the Carlo family will be able to return to its former glory.
......
Honestly, Amicus Kahlo felt that it was a very simple task.
Find a broken house and take a ring out of it...... Despite the protection of the ring with several terrifying dark spells, the Dark Lord had already told them how to break the spells.
His sister Alector, though she felt something was wrong, was equally unlikely to refuse the Dark Lord's offer.
The brother and sister were soon on the road......
Everything went smoothly, it took a few hours, and before it got dark, they found their destination.
It was a wooden shed that was even more dilapidated than they had imagined, and many of the tiles on the roof had fallen off, revealing the rafters inside here and there...... The gate is nailed to a dead snake in the shape of an S.
"We're quick!" Amicus Kahlo pounced with excitement on his face.
"Be careful, brother!" Alector caught up with him, admonishing, "Don't forget those spells the Dark Lord said...... If we're not careful, we'll all die here......"
"Of course I do!" said Amycus, a little impatiently, "hurry, just get the ring...... We're definitely going to be the Dark Lord's big men, and since Malfoy and their imprisonment in Azkaban, the Dark Lord is in desperate need of new cronies......"
As he spoke, he pushed his hand impatiently towards the door with the snake nailed.
However, he was not able to reach the door of the small dilapidated house...... When his hand was a foot away from the doorknob, two golden ropes suddenly sprang out of the bushes on either side.
Before Amicus Kahlo could react, the rope had wrapped around him and began to tighten further.
"Damn, it's an anti-illusion shifter!" shouted the Death Eater brother in fright,
Entangled in this thing, it is impossible for ordinary wizards to escape.
His sister Amicus Caro saw that the situation was not right, and was about to turn around and run-
But there was already a wizard standing in her way, a scarred Auror with a thick cane in his hand and a dark blue magic eye glancing around.
"There's no one else!" Alastor Moody said gruffly, "Let's do it!"
More than a dozen red rays of light were emitted from all directions...... Most of them hit Amicus, and she fainted.
......
"Amicus and Alecto-Caro siblings!" Mad-Eye Moody gasped as he flipped open the masks of the two Death Eaters, "I guessed fifteen years ago that they must be Death Eaters...... Damn Fudge had to vouch for them!"
"You look like you still need rest, Alasto!" said an Auror-dressed wizard behind Moody, "just leave it to us here......"
"Yes!" said a dozen or so Aurors on the side.
Moody's MONOCULUS continued to wander around, and from the look on his face, it was clear that he couldn't trust the Aurors, but he didn't say anything.
He sat on a bluestone slab and watched as the Aurors tied up the Caro siblings and prepared to be sent to the Ministry of Magic for interrogation.
"It's the sixth and seventh in the last week!" the Auror, Gadwin Robaz, who had just spoken, shook his head in disbelief, "What the hell is hidden in this room...... Every Death Eater drills into it like a fool and is caught or knocked unconscious with such ease!"
"I don't know!" Moody shook his head, "Anyway, for the first time in my life, I found it so easy to catch a Death Eater...... You just have to wait and see!"
"Why don't we go inside the house and have a look?" asked a young Auror, curious.
"If you want to die, you can do it!" replied coldly to the Mad-Eyed man, "Dumbledore has repeatedly warned that there is a terrible dark magic in the house!"
"Then the Death Eaters are still digging into it!" muttered the young Auror, then gave up on the idea.
"Dumbledore told me that he would bring a friend over in a few hours. Moody said calmly.
"Then let's go into hiding......" Gardwin-Robaz suggested, "what if one or two Death Eaters can be caught before Dumbledore arrives?"
"Great idea!"
The Aurors either hid in the bushes or cast a disillusionment charm on themselves......
The surroundings of Gaunt's old house have returned to their former tranquility.
