Walk through the deep, dark underground caverns, a long marble path that winds its way in front of the Dursleys.

The path seemed to lead endlessly into the darkness in the distance, where every few meters there was a wishing candle that shone in shadow on the white marble floor.

By the flickering orange fire, the Dursleys could see the mass of stone tombs scattered along the road.

On each stone tomb, a life-size statue of a sorcerer is placed.

The statues, holding wands and hands crossed over their chests, lay flat on top of the stone pavilion, sleeping in the midst of death, as if they had risen from the tomb, clinging to the lid of the coffin, as if trying to break free from the shackles of death.

The candle flame continued to move forward, and the side of the person seemed to stand up and cast against the wall, and the shadow grew longer and longer, like the shadow cast by a skeleton dancing, and then gradually disappeared.

Looking at the graves, Penny felt the hairs on her neck stand on end with fear, she swallowed, and asked:

"Where is this? Isn't it going to take us to Hogwarts? ”

The woman who was leading the way in front did not answer, and when Vernon saw this, he reached out and grabbed her shoulder, and said loudly:

"Hey, Penny asked you......"

But before his hand touched the woman's shoulder, as if it had been burned by fire, Vernon cried out in pain and immediately retracted.

The woman turned and stared at Vernon with murderous intent, and was about to teach the filthy Muggle a good lesson, when a cold voice came from not far away.

"Stop, Bella...... Don't be rude to our guests. ”

"Yes, master." Bella immediately said respectfully.

"Guests from afar." The voice continued, "This is not Hogwarts, but the graveyard of the Black family, welcome to you. ”

"Cemetery?" Penny said in a trembling voice, "Aren't you going to take us to Hogwarts to watch the Triwizard Tournament?" Why did you come to the cemetery? Where is Harry? I want to see him! ”

"Don't be nervous." The man whispered in a calm, hoarse voice, "You have been summoned here for a reason. ”

"Who the hell is you?" Vernon exclaimed, "Why did you fool us? ”

"Who am I?" The man hissed a laugh, "Bella, pick me up so our guests can see who I am." ”

"Yes, master."

Bella left the road and walked towards the stone tomb, where the Dursleys saw a group of people standing in the darkness.

They were all dressed in black robes and hoods, and they were in a circle.

A moment later, the woman named Bella picked up a package from the crowd and walked over slowly.

As they got closer, the Dursleys saw the contents of the package:

It was a creature that looked like a curled baby, hairless, with scales on his body, and his skin was dark and red, like wounded tender flesh.

His arms and legs were thin and limp, and his face—no living child had such a face—was a flattened serpent's face with a pair of sparkling red eyes.

Vernon turned pale and muttered something to himself, and Dudley screamed and ran to hide behind Penny, who crouched behind Vernon in fright.

Voldemort raised his thin arm and put his arm around Bella's neck, and he stared at Penny with his eyes and said:

"Let me introduce you to Penny Evans, Lily Evans' own sister, Harry Potter's aunt."

Hearing the names of Lily and Harry Potter, the Death Eaters in the circle were in an uproar.

Voldemort narrowed his red eyes, stared at Penny, and said in a hoarse voice:

"You don't look like your sister at all, but those green eyes do...... It's all so ugly and abominable! ”

"Master, I'll dig it out for you." Bella excitedly stuck out her tongue and licked her thick lips.

"No, she's still of great use to me." Voldemort said.

Bella pursed her lips in disappointment.

When Penny heard Lily's name, she suddenly looked up at the ugly baby, still trembling, and swallowed with great difficulty:

"You...... Know my sister? ”

Voldemort smiled, obviously not seeing how his lips opened, but he could hear a small smile oozing from his throat, which was creepy.

"How can you not know it?"

"She had escaped from me three times, but the fourth time, she wasn't so lucky.

It was Halloween that night, and she and her husband, James Potter, were barricaded in my room, and when I showed up, they both looked surprised and horrified. ”

"I killed both of them with Avada, as simple as killing a cat and a dog."

Voldemort hissed and laughed, but his eyes suddenly turned cold:

"Of course, I also fell into her trap - the woman left a talisman for her son with her own death - and when I killed Harry Potter, Arvada bounced back to myself."

Voldemort grinned terribly, his red eyes hollow and cold.

"Because of your sister, I have been stripped of my flesh, worse than a ghost, worse than the humblest geist...... What I am, I still don't know. ”

"But fortunately, I'm still alive, and at least one or two of the magic I experimented with worked so that I didn't die in the deadliest attacks......"

It was the first time that Penny had heard of her sister's death, and she looked as if she was about to faint, and she sat down on the ground, stunned for a long time, and suddenly shouted at Voldemort with a sharp voice and madness:

"You murderer...... You killed my sister...... You killed her! ”

Penny tries to lunge at Voldemort, but Vernon grabs her by the arm and drags her back.

Vernon held the struggling Penny in his arms, and Penny cried out, "Vernon, he killed Lily—"

"I know...... I know......" Vernon put his arms around his wife, his beetle-like eyes narrowed, staring warily at the hooded men, and said in a rough voice:

"Hey, you have a grudge against Lily and his wife, but we haven't been in touch with their family for more than ten years, and the relationship is very bad.

The hatred between the two of you has nothing to do with us...... Let us go back, and we won't seek revenge on you. ”

Vernon tried to keep his voice calm, and he lied:

"But we've been missing for too long, but not necessarily - we had dinner tonight with our neighbor Mrs. Feige - she's sure she'll call the police when she's not there, and you don't want to get into trouble, do you?"

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly fell to the ground.

Penny bends down in horror to find Vernon shaking, his face as dead ash and his mouth tightly closed.

"What did you do to my dad?" Dudley yelled.

But in the next second, his mouth seemed to be stitched with a needle, and he couldn't open it, and he fell to the ground, curled up, twitching.

"What did you do to the two of them?" Petunia let out a frightened cry.

"As long as you agree to my request, nothing will happen to the two of them." Voldemort whispered, red eyes glinting in the darkness.

"Mrs. Dursley, you don't want your husband and son to die here, do you?"

"You...... What do you want me to do? Penny asked, looking horrified.

"I want you......" Voldemort licked his lips and said in a hoarse voice:

"Voluntarily give it to me...... Your body. ”
