Chapter 702: Duel in front of the cemetery!
"Harry had told me about the dream in his letter, so the mysterious man knew very well that Harry could get some information from the serpent's sight......" Sirius said bitterly, only to be used by Voldemort to pass on false information and successfully transfer Dumbledore today.
Ivan felt a chill in his heart, saying that Voldemort knew everything they were doing at Hogwarts.
What made Ivan even more unsettling was that the root cause of Harry's ability to possess Nagini was that he was also one of the Horcruxes, but he didn't know if Voldemort had noticed it.
"Wait, Sirius, you said Voldemort had been controlling you with the Imperius Curse, so how did you break free from the Imperius Curse?" Ivan suddenly thought of this, and asked curiously.
"Thanks to you for killing Barty Crouch Jr...... The Mystic Man has no extra manpower to spare, and fearing that I will lose control again, so he can only risk Peter using Polyjuice Potion to disguise himself as me and go to Hogwarts to take Harry! Sirius said faintly.
After Peter leaves, the Riddle mansion is left with only the house-elf Sparkle, the immobile Voldemort, and the serpent named Nagini.
"The mystery man was afraid that Harry would see the situation in the mansion through Nagini, so he only ordered Twinkle to take care of me, and then ...... Kreacher sneaked in. ”
At this, Sirius's voice became a little hoarse, "It disobeyed the instructions I gave him earlier, left the house, and rescued me by magically knocking Sparkle out......"
"Kreacher?" Ivan looked at Sirius in surprise, he remembered that during the summer vacation, Kreacher had a lot of criticism about Sirius, and he talked about the annoying loser all day long.
But he didn't want this house-elf to take such a big risk, and he didn't hesitate to forcibly disobey the order to sneak into Voldemort's mansion to rescue Sirius.
It seems that after they fished out the body of Regulus from the bottom of the lake together, Kreacher had fully approved of Sirius as its new owner.
"By the way, what about the Kreachers? Didn't it come with you? Ivan couldn't help but be a little strange.
Sirius' face was full of pain and hideousness, and it took a few moments before he continued tremblingly.
"It's dead! It's me...... Kill it with your own hands! ”
"What?"
Ivan looked at Sirius in astonishment, almost thinking he was joking, but he quickly thought of a possibility, and a chill ran through his heart. "Is it the Imperius Curse of the mysterious man?"
"That's right! Imperius Curse! Sirius said through gritted teeth.
"Kreacher managed to get me out of Riddle's house, but he couldn't undo my Imperius curse, and the mysterious man is still using this to influence me, forcing me to go back to him immediately......"
Kreacher ...... Kreacher tugged at my leg and tried desperately to stop me from going back, and... Then I used the Heart Drill Spell on it......" Sirius's voice trembled, and his heart fluttered as he recalled the scene.
Voldemort didn't have full control over him, so Sirius knew very well that Kreacher was saving himself, but he couldn't control his actions at all, and his body was like someone else was manipulating him, torturing the loyal house-elf with the most brutal magic.
Kreacher's terrible wails still echoed in his ears......
What pained Sirius the most was that Kreacher had a chance to rebel against him, but he wasn't willing to hurt himself......
The ordeal eventually forced him to break free from Voldemort's Imperius curse, but by the time he did, Kreacher was silent.
Because Voldemort, sensing his resistance, gave him the last order - kill the house-elf in front of him!
"Kreacher saved me, but I killed it......" Sirius' face was hideous and a little frightened, and he muttered to himself as if he were nervous, his fists clenched tighter and tighter, his sharp nails digging deep into his flesh, but he felt no pain at all......
Sirius couldn't remember how he had buried Kreacher, his mind was blank, and if he hadn't remembered Harry's safety, he would have been lying in the pit he had dug with his own hands.
Ivan, who listened to the whole process, was speechless in shock, and the complexity of the matter was far beyond his expectations.
Kreacher is actually dead? Or died at Sirius's hands......
Looking at Sirius, who was on the verge of collapse, Ivan opened his mouth to say something of comfort.
After all, it wasn't Sirius' fault, the real killer of Kreacher was Voldemort!
Sirius, however, interrupted Ivan's words with a remark.
"It won't be long before I avenge it! Soon! ”
Sirius said coldly, his eyes full of hatred and rage, and a faint light was already shining from the front of the passage—they were going to Hogsmeade!
"Ready, let's go now!" The moment he stepped out of the passage, Sirius clenched Ivan's wrist and said hoarsely.
Ivan nodded, and then felt his body pull closer into a vortex, and Sirius's voice reached his ears.
“Apparate! (Phantom Shift)"
……
Outside Riddle's mansion, in front of an extraordinarily desolate cemetery, Harry, who has no way to retreat, is forced to duel with the resurrected Voldemort under the watchful eyes of a group of Death Eaters.
Or maybe it's a one-sided abuse......
"Come, bow to me, Harry!" Voldemort bowed slightly, and said in a mocking tone, "At least the etiquette of the duel is to be observed...... Dumbledore must want you to behave with grace in the face of death...... Bow down to death......"
The Death Eaters laughed as they looked at Harry as if they were a pig waiting to be slaughtered, and they knew that the Dark Lord would not kill the imp in front of him so easily, and he would die a tortured and humiliating death!
Harry pursed his lips and didn't move, he knew he had little chance of life this time, but he would never allow Voldemort to take pleasure of him before killing him......
"I say, bow!" Voldemort's tone accentuated, his cruel red eyes staring impatiently at Harry.
He raised his wand slightly, and without the incantation being uttered, Harry felt as if something heavy was pressing down on his spine, forcing him to make an incomparably standard bow.
"Good!" Voldemort relieved Harry of control, and a smile appeared on his serpentine face. "Now let's start the duel officially!"
Harry's hand trembling as he held his wand, he didn't understand why Voldemort didn't just kill him, but instead had to go to great lengths to duel him, but he mustered up the courage to ask.
"I can duel you, but you have to tell me where Sirius is first......"
