"Draco. What is the heavenly one? Harry looked at the hideous skull sign in the sky and whispered to Draco. He noticed that everyone looked at the thing strangely. Moreover, the faces of all of them are not very good-looking.

"The Mark of the Dark Devil, or the Mark of the Dark Devil. It's a mark unique to that person! Draco's face, which had been turned pale from exercise, was even whiter than before. He lowered his voice and said, "I heard that when that person was still active, whoever appeared in the sky above his house would be killed or even destroyed." ”

"That person?" Harry was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Voldemort, you say?" ”

"Don't mention that name!" Draco said exasperatedly.

"I'm sorry!" Harry quickly apologized, he knew that many people were so jealous of Voldemort that they didn't even dare to mention his name. Even the children of this generation have not experienced the horrors of Voldemort's time, but the words and deeds of their parents still make them full of awe and jealousy of the name. Harry, however, had no such fears because he had never lived in the wizarding world since he was a child.

"The Dark Mark hasn't appeared for more than a decade." Draco looked at Harry a little strangely, "Haven't been seen since that night!" Now it's happening again, this ......"

"Don't be nervous!" Lupin smiled mildly and said, "It's just a henchman of Voldemort, and this kind of thing is not particularly useful except for scaring people." As he spoke, he took out his wand and lowered it into the air: "Dispel it!" ”

The Dark Mark is hard to dispel, but it means it's okay. It's just that there are fewer people who can do it. And at least two of the people present could do it. Mr. Lupin and Mr. Weasley. However, Mr. Weasley has always been very secretive, and it is easy not to show his obviously amazing strength, so it is Lupin's job to do it.

"You said the person who summoned the Dark Mark has manifested himself?" A slightly chubby wizard walked over and asked politely. Daphany knew him as Amos Diggory, father of Cedric Diggory, Quidditch captain of the Hufflepuff Sorting House at Hogwarts House. He is also a staff member of the Ministry of Magic, and has a good relationship with Mr. Weasley.

"Yes!" Daphany nodded, "I watched that person apparition and walk away with Peter." ”

"Yes, yes, of course I believe you, Miss Lestrants. But I'm still asking, how long did it take for them to apparition? Mr. Diggory continued to ask.

Daphany also raised her eyebrows when she heard this, this Mr. Diggory is really careful! Even Daphany ignored this. If the apparition is a long distance, it will take a certain amount of time to think accurately about that position. Especially with people, the preparation time will be longer, and Peter's strength is the average level of an excellent wizard, and this limit is also binding on him.

Thinking of this, Daphany said seriously, "In the blink of an eye, sir. They teleported away with almost no pause. ”

"yes, then I guess they won't have to go far." Mr. Diggory smiled and said, "It's not easy to take a person to apparition! ”

"But it's been so long......" Daphany glanced at Crouch disapplauded, meaning that someone had delayed too much. That's enough time for people to run a long way.

Crouch opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"Not necessarily, let's take a look." Mr. Diggory looked left and right, and noticed a grove not far away; "Maybe it's still there."

"Amos, watch out!" Mr. Weasley said worriedly.

"Don't worry, Arthur." Mr. Diggory pulled out his wand and walked briskly into the woods. A moment later, Mr. Diggory's voice came from the woods: "Caught, oh, maybe not, but there's an unconscious ...... here."

"What?" Crouch exclaimed in surprise and jumped over without waiting for the others to react. But before he could enter the woods, Mr. Diggory had already come out. He also holds a house-elf in his arm.

"It's Twinkle!" Harry whispered, "That's Mr. Crouch's house-elf, we've seen it before. ”

Daphany hadn't seen it, but it didn't matter. She didn't remember the details, but it was just a house-elf, and it wasn't a big deal to think about it.

Crouch looked at the unconscious elf with a flash of anger in his eyes.

"There's this one by her side." Mr. Diggory shook his left hand, holding a wand in his hand.

"Check it out." Crouch's voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat and was dry.

Mr. Diggory didn't care, and waved his wand, and sure enough, a green skull rose into the sky.

"Miss Lestrants!" Crouch seemed to come to his senses. Stared at Daphine: "I don't think it's this elf you're seeing, right?" ”

"Of course." Defanie said as a matter of course.

"So. How do you explain this wand? Crouch asked.

"Do elves need a wand? Can I use a wand? This simple false accusation should be visible to anyone whose brain capacity exceeds that of a slug. Dafanie smiled disappreciatively, "Or, should you let this little elf in your family come to your senses and say it yourself?" ”

Crouch stopped again. Scale Literature

"Whatever the reason, this elf holding a wand is itself a violation of the third rule of the wand usage guidelines: no non-human creature is allowed to carry or use a wand." Mr. Diggory grinned, and as he spoke, he prepared to cast a sober spell on Twilight.

At that moment, there was another bang, and Ludo Bagman arrived at the scene using his apparition.

"I finally appeased the people over there, why is there another dark mark?" Bagman had appeared, and when he saw the people here, he complained loudly.

"Watch the soles of your feet." Arthur reminded. Only then did Bagman notice that he had almost stepped on the shining light lying on the ground.

"Barty?" Bagman looked at Crouch and then at Twinkle and asked, "Why didn't you come to the game?" Your house-elf has taken a seat for you, and why is she lying here? ”

"She's knocked unconscious, or she's put on a coma spell." Crouch said word for word.

"Why did you stun an elf or cast a stun spell on her?" Bagman didn't react for a moment, but he swept everyone's faces and suddenly reacted: "You don't mean that a little elf has cast a dark mark, right?" ”

"Actually, it's a possibility." Mr. Diggory said slowly.

"It takes a wand to recreate bones, right? The elves can do magic, though......" Bagman was still talking, but he saw Diggory shake the wand in his hand.

"When we found her, the wand was in the hands of this little goblin!" Mr. Diggory said.

"Hmm......" Bagman was a little confused, looking at Crouch and then at Twinkle.

"Wake up the goblin and ask for it." Mr. Diggory said with a smile.

Mr. Diggory awakens the elf, but the elf doesn't know anything. She simply said that she had been attacked in the chaos and did not see the face of the attacker. She had no idea what happened after that.

Ignoring their investigation, Daphany closed her eyes and began to secretly connect the events of tonight.

Apparently, Barty Jr. was with Twilight before, and then took advantage of the confusion to steal or snatch a wand out of nowhere and attacked Twilight, the elf who was guarding him. Then, I don't know if I participated in the riot, but I summoned the Dark Mark here. Both Daphine and Peter were drawn to this.

Peter is also here, so this riot probably has something to do with him, is it like taking advantage of the chaos to arrest Harry? Apparently, though, the chaos prevented him from finding Harry in time.

When you think about it, it's really dangerous to put Harry in danger. Although Peter was not necessarily his opponent.

Himself and Peter arrived one after the other, and he and Barty Jr. made a move. Peter rushed out and took Barty Jr. away. But instead of going far, they hid in the woods. Barty Jr. shoved the wand with the Dark Mark into Twinkle's hand before leaving.

Daphine felt that everything should be like this, and it was not bad. He opened his eyes.

And at this time, Crouch was also looking at Twinkle coldly.

"I was shocked by Twinkle's behavior tonight," he said slowly, in a cold tone, "I told her to stay in the tent." I told her to stay there, and I went to settle the riots. I found out that she defied me. And that means – clothes! ”

"No!" As if hearing the most terrible thing, Twinkle screamed and threw herself at Mr. Crouch's feet, "No, master! No clothes, no clothes! ”

Harry's expression was a little strange, and Daphany raised an eyebrow.

The only way to free a house-elf is to give it decent clothes.

Twinkle clutched her tea-towel tightly and lay at Mr. Crouch's feet and wept, which was pitiful.

"She was terrified!" Looking at the glitter of bitter tears, Hermione's sympathy attacked. She glared at Mr. Crouch unabashedly and said indignantly, "You don't know how chaotic it was, and those masked wizards set fire everywhere!" It's also understandable that she wants to escape them, and you can't blame her! ”

"I don't know who you are and I don't care!" Looking at Hermione's dress, Crouch knew that he was not a child of a wealthy family, and maybe not even a child of a wizard's family. So the tone was very indifferent: "This is my matter with her, and I don't need you to ask." And ......"

He took a step back, free from the elf's entanglement. He looked down at Shimmer, as if she were some filthy rot thing that was staining his polished shoes. "I don't need house-elves who disobey my orders," he said in a cold tone, looking at Hermione, "I don't need a servant who forgets to obey his master's will and protect his master's reputation. ”

Shining cried even louder.

"Emotional stripping!" A cold voice rang out, and then a spell struck Flash, and the elf's crying came to an abrupt end.

"Since Mr. Crouch is going to give up your elves, please implement it as soon as possible." Daphany smiled, but her eyes were extremely cold: "Gloves or socks, anything." Please as soon as possible. If no one else is interested, I'd love to have one more person on the estate help. ”
