At night, there is a world of darkness.

In the shadows of the stars and the silver glow of the moon, dangerous forces are gradually condensing.

The fear of the unknown is gathering momentum in the hands of the Dark Lord.

Just a few miles from Hogwarts Castle, under a cliff, there is a wizarding village much smaller than Hogsmeade.

In this village, only five families live next to each other.

Here, they carved out several pastures and fields and lived a freehand life of self-sufficiency. Although generations have lived here, there are not many descendants, so the number of residents here has not increased much.

It's just that I've been here for a long time, but I've also circled a small cemetery for the ancestors to bury.

However, tonight, in this small village, which is quiet all year round, a group of dangerous people with their heads and faces covered. The leader turned out to be a handsome young man.

“…… Master, the werewolf has completely lost contact with him, and he can't find any of them. ”

In that cemetery, the members of the center sat in a circle, bowing respectfully to the young man in the circle, and reporting the news of recent captures one by one.

They had just wiped out five ordinary wizard families in the village, and under the spell, it was an invisible massacre.

At this moment, you can still see from here that the lights in several houses opposite the cemetery have been extinguished. The original warm family is now only a strong smell of death.

Outside the center, dozens of ordinary wizard members, also cloaked, were gathered in a scattered group, silently waiting for the order to arrive.

Further afield, there are even a handful of non-wizarding members wandering aimlessly, such as the clumsy trolls, or ...... A giant serpent of large size.

"Don't worry about the werewolves, those guys are just like the vampires, they are not reliable......," the young man said calmly, "Today's action is very important, you must not allow further failures, you all remember, what we have to do is still temptation!" ”

“…… Proceed with caution, got it? ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

The young man nodded slightly, and then turned his gaze to the starry sky above him.

"Next, it's time to wait for news......"

"Master, we are eager to know ......" At this time, a deep voice suddenly asked, "I beg you to tell us...... How did you accomplish this in the first place...... This miracle ...... ...... back to us"

"Ah, that's a long story, Lucius," the young man smiled slightly, "the beginning and the end of this story, and the two boys have to do with one of them or our 'allies'!" ”

He lazily walked to the periphery, and the eyes of the whole circle fell on him, and the big snake crawled slowly beside him.

"Of course you know, they say Harry Potter is my nemesis, right?"

The handsome young man whispered, his eyes burning with black flames as if to penetrate the hearts of everyone here, and the black magic marks on everyone's bodies were beating like fire, making them almost scream.

"You all know that on the night I lost my magic and **, I wanted to kill him. His mother's death to save him had inadvertently given him some kind of protection, which I admit I had not anticipated...... I can't touch the boy. ”

The cold tip of a slender pale finger swept past his sideburns, and a strange aura immediately rushed towards him.

The young man chuckled, lowered his finger, and continued to speak to the members around him.

"Friends, I admit I miscalculated. My spell was blocked by the woman's foolish sacrifice and bounced back to myself. Yes...... It hurts more than anything, friends, and nothing can resist it. I've been stripped of **, worse than a ghost, worse than the humblest geist......"

"But I'm alive! What I am, I still don't know...... I, the one who has gone farther than anyone else on the road to eternal life. You know my goal is to conquer death. Now that I've been put to the test, it looks like at least one or two of my experiments worked...... Because I didn't die, even though that spell was deadly. However, I was as powerless as the weakest creature, unable to help myself...... I don't have a **, and every spell that can help me requires a wand......"

"I remember the days and nights when I couldn't close my eyes, and I just forced myself to live over and over again, second by second...... I hid in a distant forest and waited...... My loyal Death Eaters will surely find a way to find me...... Someone will surely come and give me back a physical body with magic that I can't do on my own...... But I waited in vain......"

The circle of members shuddered again.

The youth let the terror escalate in silence before continuing, "I only have one magic left that I can possess in someone else's body. But I didn't dare go to crowded places, for I knew the Aurors were still looking for me. ”

"I sometimes attach myself to animals, snakes are of course my favorite to use, but they are not much better than being mere ghosts, because their bodies are not suitable for magic...... And my possession has shortened their lifespan, and they don't live long......"

"Later...... Four years ago...... There seemed to be hope for my resurrection. A young, stupid, gullible wizard walked into the forest where I was staying, and I happened to bump into it. ”

“…… Oh, that seems like the opportunity I've always dreamed of...... Because he was a teacher at Dumbledore's school...... He's easily at my mercy...... He brought me back to the country, and later I attached myself to him, closely monitoring him and guiding him in carrying out my orders. But my plan failed, I didn't steal the Philosopher's Stone, and I can't guarantee immortality. I was frustrated...... This time, he was thwarted by another boy! Just a little bit! ”

There was silence again, not a single movement, not even the yew leaves at the edge of the cemetery were still. The members remained motionless, their sparkling eyes staring at the youth as if they were pondering something.

"The servant...... Left Hogwarts with my will. "I went back to that distant hiding place, and then the servant died...... But I have gained even greater power because of it! ”

"Trust me, it wasn't easy...... Yes, it was probably my darkest time without Death Eaters, not one, and I had to rely on myself. ”

One or two wizards in the circle moved uneasily, but the young man ignored them.

"Then, less than a year ago, when I almost gave up hope, hope finally appeared...... A servant found me. ”

“…… That's Wormtail, who faked his death to escape the trial, and was chased by people he used to see as friends with nowhere to hide, so he decided to return to his master. He sought me out in a country that had long been known to be my hideout...... And helped me succeed in mastering the power of now. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and a cloud of black gas immediately flashed in his palm, like a burning black flame that was exactly the same as the two phantoms in his pupils.

The black flame seemed to be able to swallow the light, and it was as black as ink, making people's hearts palpitate.

"But unfortunately, he died at the hands of our current 'ally', you say, isn't that funny?"

The young man smiled horribly, and his eyes became hollow and cold.

"I know...... Yes, I understand...... You must be wondering why I would work with that McLean when he has been working against me all along......"

"Actually, I can tell you!" He snorted, "Because I know very well that his philosophy is very different from that hypocritical old man of Dumbledore!" He understands the meaning of dark magic, and he's just as obsessed with it! Revel in it! ”

At this, he smiled wickedly, and there was a calm fanaticism in that smile.

“…… It's not like he can deny it when he says about magic! ”

……

At the same time, inside Hogwarts Castle, several "students" who behaved strangely were making eye contact with each other.

Although they haven't acted rashly for the time being, they are waiting for the best time to make a move, and the opportunity is created by people, rather than waiting for the rabbit to wait for easily.

The one responsible for creating the "timing" is none other than Flex's mother, who has been caught in the Imperius curse.

At the scene of the Triwizard Tournament, she was sitting next to little Gabrielle with a nonchalant face, her eyes fixed on the magic flame in the center of the circular platform below.

Once Fleur has taken the crown of Ravenclaw as the Triumph and emerges from there, she will start causing a commotion and take advantage of the chaos to send out the Dark Mark to inform those she "should" notify, in order to cause even more chaos.

But if Fleur doesn't get the crown, she'll have to wait, wait for the crown to appear.

This operation could not be allowed to fail, and it was the Imperius Curse on Fleur's mother, which was applied by Voldemort himself, which was simply the most elaborate test plan for him.

But Voldemort, who secretly planned all this, did not expect that his series of actions had been guessed by the enemy long before Maca left.

This is a game between Maca and Voldemort, although the two are far away now, but their confrontation has already begun when Maca takes out those werewolves.

“…… I see," Dumbledore, who was seated at the guest of honor, leaned back slightly, and whispered behind him, seemingly unmanned, "Excuse me, Alasto...... Let's get our spirits up and keep an eye on everything inside and outside the school! ”
