Chapter 85: Aftermath (2)

Karkaroff's psychology at this time was a quarterly collapse. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He sneaked back to Hogwarts to find a safer way out.

After feeling that the Dark Lord's strength was gradually recovering, Karkaroff did not stop looking for a way to save his life.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about returning to the Dark Lord, but he thought of the things he had done to protect himself, and Karkaroff cut off the idea.

As for seeking Dumbledore's protection, Dumbledore is not omnipotent, and even judging from the situation this year, Dumbledore's strength is gradually declining, not to mention, in order to serve the Dark Lord back then, Karkaroff did not target those under Dumbledore......

Karkaroff was a desperate guy, so he couldn't possibly put the bet on Dumbledore, especially since he had a case where he had failed to shelter others......

Harry Potter's existence is a blatant slap in the face, even though everyone now worships the boy as a god, and even if he escaped from the Dark Lord once again......

Dumbledore didn't necessarily want to see him (Harry Potter), because it was proof of a huge mistake he had made, and if it weren't for the Dark Lord being inexplicably defeated and fleeing, it is estimated that Dumbledore and his power would have disappeared more than a decade ago - no one wants to join a man who concentrates all his power but can't protect a wizarding family. It should be said that the defeat of the Dark Lord gave Dumbledore the opportunity to clear his name, allowing him to skillfully transform this defeat into a sacrifice he was forced to make in order to defeat the Dark Lord. At the same time, it also achieved Harry Potter's identity as the savior.

If he could, Dumbledore might have preferred that Harry Potter and the Dark Lord would have died together on that night more than a decade ago. That would put an end to all possibilities that could threaten him......

However, after all, it is impossible for everything to be done according to the same person's idea, the Dark Lord escaped, and Harry Potter survived......

What followed was Bellatrix's group of people who tortured the Longbottoms in order to vent.

Dumbledore had to seriously train Harry Potter after losing the replacement of the Potters in order to be a successor.

Thinking of this, Karkaroff also dispelled the idea of defecting to Dumbledore, he was not Harry Potter or anyone else, and he had blind confidence in Dumbledore. As one of the more observant members of the Death Eaters back then, Karkaroff was confident that if he defected to Dumbledore, he would probably ...... Maybe it will also speed up his own death, after all, there are only a few adult wizards left under Dumbledore who are still in their prime......

The remaining two options were actually just one option at first, because Karkaroff had made up his mind a long time ago, more than ten years ago, that the Dark Lord would run away as soon as he returned, and in fact, he did the same for the first time today......

It's just that he didn't have to go far before Karkaroff felt the passage of time......

It's not that he doesn't have confidence in himself, but the passage of more than ten years, as well as his negligence in demanding of himself, makes it obvious that he has lost confidence in himself that he can escape under the vigorous pursuit of the Dark Lord...... At least, Karkaroff didn't think that he could calmly leave after being chased by a few Aurors and wounding a few of them like he had done more than a decade ago.

Then Karkaroff thought of that unusually arrogant little girl—whether it was the first time they met, or the indifferent attitude towards the Dark Lord at Christmas, or the domineering attitude that he later revealed when he went to Snape and her...... Even with that agreement, which is comparable to a deed of sale...... At this time, it became Karkaroff's confidence that Holey could keep him......

The purpose of Karkaroff's return was Holly, and before the start of the second competition, Holly had communicated with him about this, but the conditions offered by Holly at that time were too high, far beyond what he could bear, so the negotiations were finally abandoned.

But now, when Karkaroff realized that his strength was not as strong as he imagined, and he was even unable to complete self-preservation, Karkaroff realized that property or something was just something outside his body, and what was that property compared to his own life? Even if he sold himself and survived, it was better than being hunted down by the Death Eaters, and even suffering all kinds of painful torture before he died.

Karkaroff knew exactly what kind of torture he would suffer if he was caught up by the Dark Lord or the Death Eaters...... Because he had dealt with the White wizards, the Dumbledore's men, and the Muggles.

Even many times, even after those who were tortured by themselves had been tortured to the point of inhuman form, he and his fellow Death Eaters did not give them a good time, but instead used the Imperius Curse to control them to do some very bloody things......

Karkaroff came back to seek shelter from Heli, even if it was the kind of price offered by Heli before, Karkaroff was willing to accept it...... It's just that I didn't expect that my overly excited behavior would lead to such a consequence......

Bathed in all kinds of potions concocted by Snape, all the skin that Karkaroff came into contact with those potions had a variety of reactions...... It may be cold and biting, or it may be scorching, or some may even be like worms......

It can even be said that the heart and bone cutting do not have such a comfortable feeling, and even as time goes by, these different feelings seem to be getting worse. It's just for his own safety, Karkaroff didn't even dare to shout for help, who knows if Dumbledore will take himself out to sacrifice the flag because of the Dark Lord's comeback? Although, Snape, who has always been by Dumbledore's side, is also a good option in Karkaroff's opinion, but it is obviously much more convenient and effective to kill an outsider who has nothing to do with him, but is also famous.

It was under such circumstances that Karkaroff reappeared in front of Professors Holly and Snape, covered in colours, even red, blue, and purple......

"Alright...... I promise you the conditions before...... "That's what Karkaroff said to Holly. "There are even any conditions, hurry up and put them forward. ”
