Chapter 248 Undercurrent
During the chat with Dumbledore, Charlie was already certain that the temporary professor of the Ministry of Magic named Avery was probably a Death Eater, at least once.
Because Dumbledore told Charlie that Avery and Malfoy had the same experience, and both were once controlled by Voldemort with the Imperius Curse.
But Charlie knew that Malfoy was the real Death Eater. It was only after Voldemort's downfall that he lied that he was controlled by Voldemort with the Imperius Curse in order to escape from the Ministry of Magic.
Since this Avery is Malfoy's classmate and friend, and has the same experience as him, the possibility of being a Death Eater is very high.
However, what Charlie is a little unclear at the moment is whether this guy named Avery has any purpose for coming to Hogwarts, or if he really just came here to teach Apparition in place of his colleagues.
Because according to his understanding, before Voldemort was resurrected, these Death Eaters actually lived as normal wizards. At that time, they all thought that Voldemort was dead.
Therefore, even if Avery used to be a Death Eater, and now, as an official of the Ministry of Magic, he came to teach at Hogwarts instead of his colleagues, it can be said that it was the past.
However, Charlie always felt that it was not that simple. It was just a coincidence that something happened to the wizard named Wicky Tecross during the three months he was going to teach at Hogwarts?
If according to the plot of the previous life, he finished solving Voldemort's diary, there should be no more disturbances in the next half semester.
But it's not good to say, after all, his existence has already caused a lot of butterfly effects.
In the end, he still felt that he could find Mrs. Norris when he went back, and let the cat spy team monitor this Professor Avery.
Or, one day, he will tie up this guy and use the Cruciatus Curse to torture him?
After thinking about it, Charlie decided to be more civilized. All of this is his guess. If he is not a Death Eater, he really just came to class instead of a colleague.
It's a little too much for him to torture people with the Cruciatus Curse.
After chatting with Dumbledore for a while, Charlie returned to Hogwarts to go to the library,
There is no class now, and his patron saint basically spends most of his time in the library looking for some useful magic books to read.
This can not only serve the purpose of increasing the experience of the Patronus Charm, but also improve one's magical knowledge reserve and prepare for the upgrade of skills.
And his cat body can concentrate on cooking, and then use the tiger leopard thunder to digest and condense the physical body, which is simply killing multiple birds with one stone.
Things go back to a month ago,
The Malfoy Family Manor,
Big Malfoy knelt on the ground trembling all over, and in front of him was a wizard standing with his back to him, but this wizard had a very terrifying face on the back of his head.
And next to the wizard, there was a huge boa constrictor spitting out a message.
"Lucius, my cunning friend!"
The terrifying face opened its eyes, stared at the trembling Big Malfoy below and said:
"I heard that you have not given up on your past behavior. Although you put on a pious face in front of the world, I believe you are still willing to take the lead in torturing Muggles, right? But you never went looking for me, Lucius..."
Big Malfoy tensed up, and quickly expressed his loyalty:
"Master, I have always been very attentive to any signals from you, as long as you need it, I will appear in front of you immediately!"
The terrifying face on the back of the wizard's head took a deep look at Malfoy, and then replied in a low voice:
"Yeah, it seems that I have wronged you. You should know that I took the method of preventing death a long time ago. I hope you will serve me more faithfully in the future."
"Master, I will, I will always be your most loyal servant!"
Big Malfoy finally heaved a sigh of relief, but lowered his head a little.
This man with a terrifying face is none other than Voldemort,
Since he sensed that his Horcrux diary was destroyed, he couldn't sit still anymore, so he left his hiding place in Albania with his snake Nagini.
He was possessed by a creature about to be put to death by the Ministry of Magic, and through it he came into contact with a Death Eater he thought might still be loyal to him—Walton McNeil.
Walton McNeil's current job at the Ministry of Magic is to execute magical creatures who have committed crimes.
When he knew that Voldemort was still alive and was about to be resurrected, he immediately offered his body as Voldemort's temporary possession object, and then under Voldemort's guidance, he came to Malfoy's manor, and the next scene happened.
"Master, when are you going to be resurrected?"
After swearing allegiance to Voldemort again, Malfoy asked cautiously.
Voldemort said slowly in a low voice:
"Resurrection is not difficult for me. I only need three powerful medicine primers to configure a resurrection potion that restores my original strength, but that alone is not enough!"
The flesh of his servants, the bones of his relatives and the blood of his enemies, together with the resurrection spell he had researched in Albania over the years, could condense a new body for him.
The meat of his servants, he has too many servants, the bones of his relatives, his father's bones are fine, the blood of his enemies, his enemies are all over the wizarding world, and it is not difficult to obtain,
So he thinks that resurrection is not such a difficult thing, but although his resurrected body is as powerful as his previous one, it will also age with the passage of time.
This is also the reason why he did not perform the resurrection ceremony immediately after possessing Quirrell, but went to steal the Philosopher's Stone. It is rumored that the Philosopher's Stone can live forever, allowing his resurrected body to remain strong.
But it failed in the end, and the Philosopher's Stone was destroyed by Dumbledore.
And it was precisely because of this time that he discovered that Harry still had the ancient protective magic left by his mother in his body. If Harry's blood could not be used to recast his body, then even if he was resurrected, he would not be able to touch Harry.
But Harry was so well protected by Dumbledore. Dumbledore specially designed a protection plan. He used an ancient magic to ensure that the boy would be protected as long as he was under the care of his relatives.
After leaving his family, Harry basically stayed at Hogwarts, where Dumbledore and a group of school professors protected him, and no one could take Harry away.
This is why Voldemort came to find him even though he knew that Big Malfoy was a speculator and not as loyal as he appeared on the surface.
Big Malfoy is the school manager of Hogwarts, and he also has a high status in the Ministry of Magic, which can help him complete the next plan.
"Malfoy, go get some unicorn blood first, I'm going to use it and Nagini's venom to prepare a body that can temporarily hold my soul, and then go find my loyal servant Avery"
