Chapter 401 [Extinction Curse]
"I was wrong!"
McGuffin was completely dumbfounded looking at the identical underground tunnel in front of him.
He muttered to himself like Mrs. Xianglin, with a broken expression on his face.
Ancipie!
The consequence of being dizzy and reckless is that he can't find the way out at all now, and he is stuck in the underground maze he made with the Death Eaters behind him.
Stupid!
Thinking of how aggressive he was just now, McGuffin's scalp tingled, and he couldn't imagine how the Death Eaters would react to him when they met again.
"MD! I knew I wouldn't go astray!"
McGuffin scolded his idiot behavior in the first ten minutes,
And now he has to continue to sit this idiotic behavior, continue to open up these forks in the road with the [Untrace Stretching Curse], so as not to run into the Death Eaters again.
McGuffin ran at high speed after disappearing, and opened up another fork every time he passed a fork in the road.
It wasn't until he felt that one-fifth of his magic power was left, that he stopped this kind of behavior that he had to ask for trouble.
Now, I can only hope that I am here to procrastinate for time, so that Harry and the others can call to teach them as soon as possible.
But within a few minutes, this little wish was punctured by Harry and the others' flirty maneuvers.
McGuffin hid in a secret road at a fork and watched over there.
Right now, Harry and his group were being tied up by Bellatrix's death eaters using (summoned) poisonous snakes as ropes, forcing them to slowly move forward in the secret passage, looking for a way out.
Under the fluorescent light, the scales of the venomous snake gleamed, and its slender body encircled Harry and the others.
The head of the three-cornered snake was leaning against Harry and the others' cheeks, shaking constantly, stretching out a bright red letter, and hissing.
Infiltrate.
Of course, the more terrifying ones are those Death Eaters.
The tips of their wands emit green fluorescent light, illuminating the front, leading the group of people to move forward.
These guys were cursing loudly and constantly, threatening Harry and the others to tell them where the MacGuffin was.
Many of the Death Eaters were covered in mud, and their faces were blackened by smoke, and they were in a state of embarrassment. (The previous Fierce Fire Curse did cause them a lot of trouble)
--how?How can it be!
Seeing this scene, McGuffin was full of doubts, and he didn't turn the fork in front of Harry and the others into a maze.
Even a fool can walk straight out.
Is it?
They won't come after him again, will they?
If you think about it carefully, is there such a possibility?
At that time, McGuffin himself was a bit stupid and acted recklessly, ignoring them behind his buttocks. He just said a word and ran forward quickly, anxiously modifying the secret passages.
He didn't care about Harry and the others at all.
Gan!
McGuffin regretted it terribly.
At this time, Bellatrix Lestrange rolled her swollen eyelids, revealing some kind of cruel gaze, and looked up and down at Harry very violently, "Potter, tell me, where is your damned mudblood friend? I must tear him alive!"
"The damned Mudblood casts the [Unmarked Stretching Curse] everywhere, like a stray dog peeing everywhere... how much precious time we have wasted!"
Harry raised his head, his eyes showed hatred and rebellion, and he tightly shut his mouth without saying a word.
"Ha! Remember..." She sneered loudly,
"You are what the Dark Lord particularly needs, but your friends are not, whether it's the weasley brat who betrayed the pure-blood, or this mudblood girl... We can easily kill one or two at any time, so you can see the reality and be honest..."
Are these guys in cahoots with the Dark Lord?
McGuffin's heart tightened,—the worst, the most impossible development he thought had really become a reality.
How can it be?
According to the description of the Dark Lord in the plot, when he has not recovered his magical strength, it is impossible for his subordinates, or the servants who are discarded at hand, to see his weak appearance.
Unless it is extremely cowardly, or extremely naive, who can be manipulated by him, such waste materials as Wormtail and Quirrell.
MacGuffin, he pinched Scabbers, a wormtail mouse trapped in a rice dumpling in the pocket of his robe, so... is this guy useless?
Shir!My perfect plan!
The MacGuffin went black and dizzy.
Fortunately, Bellatrix's next words brought him back to reality.
"Damn it, how on earth can we get out of here... talk? Savior... or your friend^"
She kicked Ron on the body, kicking him to the ground.
"Ron!"
Harry glared at her.
The mad witch laughed instead.
"Drill the heart and gouge out the bone!"
As soon as she turned around, she swung her wand directly again, and a spell was shot at Hermione.
Hermione immediately fell to the ground, her body bent and twisted, and she let out a horrible scream from the torture——
--what!
"Hermione!" Harry struggled to ignore the spitting snake. (Two Death Eaters pinned down on Harry,)
"How on earth do you get out! Say, where is the other Mudblood? Tell me the truth, otherwise, I swear I'll use all the torture spells and methods I know to make your friend's life worse than death!"
"I don't know!" Harry roared loudly, and then ignored the venomous snake tightly tied around Zhiji's neck, he rushed up and bumped into her with his head. Unable to guard against it, this guy was bumped and staggered back and forth, almost falling to the ground.
"You're lying! Damn half-breed, how dare you - if the Dark Lord didn't want to kill you with his own hands, I would have..."
Bellatrix stood at the entrance of the secret passage, trembling all over, clutching her wand tightly, and pointing at Harry.
"Bella...give that mudblood to me, to me, and within a few minutes, I will let this 'famous savior' explain everything in detail."
A fierce-eyed, disheveled-haired wizard with a short black stubble beard was staring at Hermione eagerly, and he licked his lips.
He looked at Hermione as if he were looking at a medium-rare steak waiting to be cut.
Bloody and naked.
Ron tried to get up, "Hermione! Hermione...we really don't know...McGuffin didn't know why he told us to go first, so he ran back."
"Antonin Dolohov is not the time for you to torture people, isn't the Froome enough for you?" Bellatrix said, staring at the wizard with disgust, "You have to understand that we have found Harry Potter in advance and completed the task of the Dark Lord. Now as long as we go out here and dedicate him to the master, we will win the highest honor..."
Voldemort?How dare he show up at Hogwarts?Has this guy regained his strength?How can it be?
And from their tone, this guy seems to be near Hogwarts, but fortunately he is not in this secret passage?
McGuffin's heart tightened, he held his breath, and took a few steps closer, trying to hear clearly what they were talking about, and trying to see if there was a chance to rescue Harry and the others.
Fred yelled in fear when he heard it, "How is it possible? How could the Dark Lord be?"
"Quack quack, hahaha... That's right, the Dark Lord is back!"
"Fear! Pure blood traitor..."
"Yes, your Weasley family will be reunited soon!"
The Death Eaters laughed wildly when they heard Fred's horrified yell, and they threatened fiercely with a very smug expression on their faces.
However, if you skip their gray faces from top to bottom, the soot-blackened look will add some credibility.
"Okay, Bella, stop messing around, let's get some Harry Potter's blood first so we don't need it..."
A wizard with a tired expression stopped these people. He took out a magic wand and a diamond-shaped crystal vial from his black robe.
He cut a small cut in Harry's wrist, waved his wand to make the blood turn into a string in the air, and was controlled to pour it into the crystal vial until it was full, turning into a bright red crystal.
The wizard then hung the necklace-like thing around Bellatrix's neck.
He whispered, "Just in case, Bella! If the Dark Lord knows that we once got Harry Potter and lost it... Do you remember how he used to deal with those losers, betrayers?"
The few people in front of me shivered and stopped talking.
--blood?What did Voldemort want Harry's blood for?
McGuffin immediately thought of Harry's blood needed for this guy's resurrection in the fourth part of the plot.
So Voldemort isn't fully alive yet?
But this is also contradictory to the performance of these people. If the Death Eaters hadn't seen Voldemort appear with their own eyes and showed his power, they wouldn't be so terrified.
"Rodolphs!" Bellatrix muttered softly, looking at her husband with an indescribably complicated expression, and only at this moment did the madness in her eyes disappear a little bit.
"I said why don't you inform the Dark Lord with the Death Eater's mark? I haven't put it on...but you should have it!"
The oldest wizard, with curly hair and a white chin beard, interrupted,
"Can't do that! Unless you want to annoy the Dark Lord...August Rookwood!"
"Don't! Trevor!"
Bellatrix grabbed the wrist of a wizard next to him. He had already rolled up the sleeve of his left arm (the Dark Mark was deeply burned into his flesh), and she said nervously, "The Dark Lord wants to kill Potter himself. What's more, when he hasn't fully recovered his mana, he can't let all the wizards in the street know that he's back... If he finds out that we've sabotaged his plan..."
"What's more, my sister, Lucius, Crabbe and the others...who knows if they are really still loyal to the Dark Lord, and the traitor Severus Snape (Bella raised his voice fiercely and called out the name)...if Dumbledore knows..."
After hearing this name, the Death Eater's face showed a little bit of fear.
Bellatrix also shut up.
The secret passage fell into silence for a moment, only Hermione's moan echoed here.
When the Death Eaters fell silent, that Dolohov seemed to have noticed something. He sniffed his nose lightly and approached the side road where the McGuffin was.
Just as McGuffin's heart clenched tightly, Bellatrix stopped the guy with a word.
"Antonin Dolohov, what are you doing... damn it, we're getting out of here now, instead of sniffing around like that scavenger Greyback?"
"If it weren't for the fact that this place is still within the range of Hogwarts' protective magic, how can a maze in the dead zone control us... just one apparition will do."
Bellatrix frantically waved her wand at Hermione and again.
"No! You can torture me, you can come to me!" Ron shouted.
When Antonin Dolokhov heard this, a grin immediately appeared on his face. He turned and squeezed past the Death Eaters, kicked Ron to the ground, and then kicked Ron on the head one by one. The sound of the beating echoed in the secret passage.
"It's such a touching friendship!... Don't worry, I want you, you guys watched her being tortured to death slowly during the interrogation. When it's your turn, you will find out how ridiculous you are now, and you will hold me and cry and beg me to let you go."
McGuffin gripped his wand tightly, his heart burning with rage.
He knew it was all his fault, and Harry and Hermione might not have suffered this kind of crime if he hadn't tried to drag these guys here in a daze to buy himself time for Wormtail's spell [Phantom Shifting].
——It's all his fault!
But now he also understands that he alone cannot deal with so many Death Eaters.
Especially in the situation where they have hostages and their magic power is not enough.
"Ron!"
When this fellow Dolokhov was about to wave his wand again,
snarled the twins, writhing like hell and bumped into the Death Eaters guarding them next to them.
Harry also hurriedly bumped into that guy Dolohov again.
The scene was a mess.
"Damn it! Are you guys looking for death?"
"Antoning, kill a brat and let them see, or do you think we really dare not do it?"
"Hermione!"
It was a mess, the Death Eaters and Harry huddled together in a crooked group in the narrow tunnel, and the Death Eaters couldn't even lift their wands and wave them.
Antonin Dolokhov broke the noses of the twins with an elbow and pushed them away. When he could finally raise his wand to threaten Hermione, the sound of spells sounded extremely quickly in the opposite tunnel.
"Extinguish the lights and put out the fire!"
Listening to their words, it seemed that Hermione was about to be executed, which made McGuffin immediately understand that he had to act and could not wait any longer.
And it just so happened that Harry and the others also created the best timing for the attack.
So he immediately waved his wand, and used the [Extinction Curse] to extinguish the [Luminescent Curse] that was lit at the tip of all the Death Eaters' wands.
A silver light automatically jumped and chased those bright places, and then accompanied by rustling sounds, all the bright fluorescent lights automatically followed the silver light into the fork and disappeared.
(Those [Luminescent Curse] were pulled by the silver light and converged to the tip of McGuffin's wand, which was extinguished at once.)
The tunnel was immediately plunged into darkness.
Here it gets even more confusing.
"what happened?"
"It's that Mudblood, he's nearby, grab him! Get him and we can get out of here." Trevor exclaimed.
"Ah! Damn you bastard, which idiot is biting me!" Dolokhov roared angrily.
"Watch Harry Potter, don't let them get away!"
"Drill the heart and gouge out the bone!"
"Passed out!"
"—Ah! Ah, Dolohov, idiot, do you want to kill me?" Bellatrix yelled.
"Harry Potter is still here, how can you face the Dark Lord if you hurt him!"
"Harry run!" Ron yelled.
"Hermione!" Harry yelled.
"Catch them!"
The screams of the Death Eaters and Harry and Hermione echoed in the darkness, and this place was even more noisy and chaotic than the middle school classroom after the power outage for evening study.

"Yes, your Weasley family will be reunited soon!"

"Catch them!"
The screams of the Death Eaters and Harry and Hermione echoed in the darkness, and this place was even more noisy and chaotic than the middle school classroom after the power outage for evening study.
