The Alchemist of Harry Potter

After arranging the follow-up, Dumbledore quietly left Hogwarts Castle under the cover of night. After Apparition came to Hogsmeade Village, he went to talk with Ludo Ba, Director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic. Geman walked to the agreed place.

"Good evening Dumbledore, you are always on time as always."

When Dumbledore walked to the entrance of the Three Broomsticks Bar, he heard a familiar voice in his ears. Ludo Bagman came out of the Three Broomsticks Bar and beat Dumbledore with a gloomy face. Hello.

Dumbledore glanced at the group of goblins behind Bagman, raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that you have had a choking time in the past two days."

"The two reports by Rita Kist almost turned me into a laughing stock in the magical world." Bagman shrugged helplessly. "I don't know who sent me that stuff. I doubt it. Something is a good thing a certain Hogwarts student did."

"I think it was just a prank," Dumbledore said gently.

"mischief?"

Bagman seemed to have thought of something. The anger he had accumulated fainted suddenly, and he reached out his hand to cover his cheek and complained: "It hurts me miserably."

"Well, let's go to Barty first. He seems to be sick recently. I didn't want to disturb him to rest. But some things are not very good. You know, the second project is much better than the first. A project is much more dangerous. We must ensure the safety of the Warriors as much as possible. If there is another accident, the Triwizard Tournament will probably be suspended forever."

In fact, if you want to modify some plans of the Triwizard Tournament, you must discuss it with the Ministry in advance, and this matter is part of Barty Crouch's job, so you need to inform the other party anyway.

"Let's go, let's go to Barty, hope his condition is better, that guy hasn't been to the Ministry of Magic for several days." Ludo Bagman murmured. He hadn't noticed Dumbledore's gradually serious expression next to him.

The two Apparated together and disappeared.

With a burst of noise, they reappeared on a remote path, and walked together towards the big house not far away.

Bagman reached out and rang the doorbell, but after a long time, no one came to open the door.

"Should Barty fall asleep?" Bagman looked at Dumbledore and asked for advice.

At the other end of the door, Peter Pettigrew covered his mouth with his hands in a panic, for fear that a little noise would be heard by the people outside the door.

Peter did not expect that Dumbledore would suddenly appear outside the door.

"what should I do now?"

Peter looked uneasily at the baby sitting in the armchair, hoping that he could have a good way to send Dumbledore away.

Voldemort didn't care about Peter, who was terrified, his eyes fell on the demon mirror placed by the hall, and Dumbledore's clear figure was reflected on the mirror.

Neither Peter Pettigrew nor Voldemort expected that they would be blocked by Dumbledore.

Since the old Barty’s resistance to the Imperius curse has become stronger and stronger, and his body has become weaker due to the confrontation with the Imperius curse, they have begun to reduce the number of old Barty’s appearances, claiming that the old Barty is sick, and even Give a lot of work to his assistant Percy Weasley to handle.

Thanks to this serious assistant, the old Barty's abnormality will not be noticed by others.

However, what they didn't expect was that Dumbledore was attracted to him because he didn't go to the Christmas ball.

"Master, what should we do, are we going to run?" Peter asked silently, closing his lips.

Voldemort ignored the panicked little dwarf Peter, and withdrew his gaze from the magic mirror, picked up the wand placed beside him, pointed at the old Batty, silently transformed the opponent into a nightgown, and then controlled him to open the door with the Imperius Curse. , Dismissed Dumbledore and Bagman.

Seeing Voldemort's actions, Peter couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Voldemort would have a head-on conflict with Dumbledore.

This was not a good idea. Although Voldemort had recovered some strength, how could he be Dumbledore's opponent so weak.

As for Peter Pettigrew himself, it is even less likely to be Dumbledore's opponent. By that time, it would be considered extremely lucky to be able to escape a catastrophe.

"It's you, what's the matter?"

Old Barty opened the door, but didn't mean to let the two enter the house, "Sorry, I'm very sick recently, I'm afraid I can't entertain you anymore."

"Barty, you are okay, your face looks terrible." Bagman looked at the haggard Barty Crouch in surprise. I don't know why, after discovering that my colleagues have been worse off recently than myself, the originally depressed mood has actually improved a little bit.

"Ludo is right, Barty, your face looks terrible, I think you'd better take the time to visit the St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries."

Dumbledore's gaze crossed Batty and glanced into the gloomy corridor, always feeling an uncomfortable breath in him.

"No, I know my situation very well. I can take care of myself. Do you have anything else to ask me?"

"Regarding the safety plan for the second project." Bagman said casually, "However, depending on the situation, we still don't disturb you. You should take time off and take a good rest."

"Weatherby is very capable. I will leave most of my work to him for the time being." Old Barty paused, and then said a long time later, "You can talk to him first. Then I will look at Wetherby. Report."

"It seems that we should go now!" Bagman knew that they had come in vain, "You'd better rest, don't get too tired, go to the St. Mungo Magical Injury Hospital if you really don’t, don’t delay yourself. Now, this is very bad."

"Are you sure you don't need help?" Dumbledore asked suddenly.

"No, I can take care of myself." Batty said wearily.

The two looked at each other, and left to Batty.

"Since Batty drove the house elves away, his quality of life has declined drastically. If I were him, I would definitely not do that. However, you also know Batty's temper is good now. He is sick and even takes care of him. There are none of them." Bagman sighed. He felt that Batty had fallen to the way he is now, and it seemed to be somewhat self-inflicted.

"What's wrong with you Dumbledore?" Bagman found Dumbledore frowning by accident and couldn't help asking.

"Bharty's situation is very wrong, like..." Bagman took the lead before Dumbledore could finish his words.

"It's like being seriously ill." Bagman shrugged. "He should go to St. Mungo's Magical Injury Hospital instead of staying at home like he is now."

"No, with Batty's character, he would never leave important matters to his assistants." Dumbledore said softly, "He will cure his illness quickly and put into his busy work. This is His habits."

"You are right, Barty is indeed a workaholic. It is hard to imagine that he would not treat the illness, but instead entrust the important work to his assistant?" Hearing Dumbledore say that, Bagman I also felt something was wrong, "What do you think is the situation with Barty now?"

"I am now a little worried about whether Batty will be hit by someone else's Imperius. He doesn't look like he is seriously ill, but rather looks like a weakness after resisting the Imperius."

"Barty was under the Imperius Curse, are you kidding?" The expression on Bagman's face froze for an instant.

"Shhh!"

Dumbledore motioned to Bagman to keep quiet. He turned his head and glanced at the Crouch’s house, drew out his wand, and said softly, "Even if Batty fails the Imperius Curse, I’m afraid he needs to be treated by a therapist. , And that kind of illness would be very bad if no one takes care of it."

"What are you going to do?" Bagman didn't dare to breathe. He had never seen Dumbledore's serious expression. It was probably true.

"We turn back and subdued Batty first to ensure his safety. I suspect that there is a dark wizard hiding in his house. The house gives me a not-so-good feeling." Dumbledore quickly made arrangements.

"what should I do?"

Bagman also drew out his wand and looked at Crouch's house vigilantly, as if it had become a dark wizard's lair.

"You will ring the doorbell later and ask him if he wants me to send a famous house-elf from Hogwarts to take care of his daily life temporarily."

"Then, use the spell to hold Batty, and forcibly take him to St. Mungo's Magical Injury Hospital for treatment." Dumbledore said calmly, "I will take care of the rest. If this is a misunderstanding, I will personally ask Batty apologized."

"No, you don’t have to apologize. You are saving Barty’s life. I think his health is very bad. You should go to the St. Mungo’s Magical Injury Hospital for treatment instead of staying at home and no one is taking care of you. God might have died inexplicably.” Bagman agrees with Dumbledore’s approach. Regardless of whether Batty is controlled by the Imperius or not, his current physical condition is indeed very bad, and he should go to St. Mungo’s Magical Injury Hospital. Receive treatment instead of staying at home and waiting for death.

...

"Master, they have already left."

In the hall, Peter Pettigrew could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at Crouch on the sofa and said to Voldemort in the armchair, "Master, we better change a place. Crouch’s incident has caused Dumbledore’s Note that he will be back sooner or later."

Voldemort frowned slightly as he looked at the figure becoming clearer and clearer in the demon mirror. He didn't know why, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Kill Barty, we leave here at once." Voldemort made a decisive decision, and he was sure that Dumbledore might have seen some flaws. "

Peter Pettigrew was taken aback by Voldemort's words, and instinctively raised his wand, ready to obey Voldemort's order to kill Barty Crouch.

Just as he was about to use the Killing Curse, the doorbell rang again.

Peter Pettigrew swallowed and looked at Voldemort, waiting for his command.

If you use the Killing Curse now, it will definitely be noticed by Dumbledore outside the door.

Now how to do?

Peter Pettigrew lost his opinion all at once, staring at Voldemort blankly, waiting for further orders from the other party.

Batty has stood up from the sofa again and walked towards the door

"you……"

Before Batty could speak, he was restrained by Bagman using a full-body restraint curse.

"Sorry old man, it's all for your safety." Bagman didn't forget Dumbledore's instructions, and was about to take Batty away.

A green light flew towards Batty suddenly.

It is impossible for Voldemort to allow them to take Barty away. He knows so many secrets that he must die here.

A strong green light occupied Bagman's horrified eyes, watching the Killing Curse about to swallow the two people at the door.

The wall suddenly protruded a large section, blocking the way of Avadaso's curse, instead of Batty, withstanding the power of the spell, it was directly blown to pieces.

"Oh my God, Dumbledore, hurry up!"

Bagman led Batty out of the house. At the most urgent moment, a green light blasted the closed wooden door into powder.

"Take Batty away."

Dumbledore cut a hole directly in the wall in front of him and broke into Batty's house in an unfriendly way.

"Dumbledore."

When Peter Pettigrew saw Dumbledore, he screamed in horror.

"I think your mother will definitely feel sorry for you. You shouldn't have done that." Dumbledore waved his wand and tried to subdue Peter. However, the magic that was flying towards Peter was stopped and hit the wall directly and exploded. A big hole.

"Take Nagini to go first." Voldemort in the armchair ordered.

Peter didn't hesitate, turned around and ran. As for Voldemort's snake, he couldn't take care of it.

However, Dumbledore did not give Peter a chance. When Peter turned to escape, a rope suddenly stretched out on the ground to wrap Peter's ankle and trip him to the ground.

Peter turned into a mouse and prepared to escape, but a golden flame suddenly burned in the room to trap Peter and Voldemort.

Peter was stopped by the flames, but Voldemort's snake passed through the ring of fire and quickly moved away from the battlefield.

"this……"

Dumbledore's eyes suddenly burst into an astonishing light, and he already knew what it was.

Horcrux!

The Horcrux in Albert's prophecy.

Voldemort really made a snake into a Horcrux, so this thing is true.

"It really surprised me Tom. You would cut off the post yourself. This is not like what you would do. When is a snake so important to you?" Dumbledore swung his wand and launched a fierce attack on Voldemort. It’s a good opportunity to let that snake run away.

"What caused you to have this absurd idea?"

Voldemort waved his magic wand to stop Dumbledore's attack, but the huge gap between the two sides made his baby body overwhelmed, and his fragile body directly turned into a mass of flesh.

Voldemort's remnant soul came out of that body, and it looked like it had been condensed in smoke, without a substance.

Dumbledore swung his magic wand to bring down Peter, and chased him directly outside, and soon found Nagini who was fighting Fox.

Dumbledore waved his magic wand to kill the snake, only to find that the spell had no effect on the snake.

He quickly waved his magic wand, conjured countless vines and shackles, and directly bound the snake in place.

Voldemort, who had just flew out of the house, saw that Dumbledore didn't know where to get a sword. He raised the weapon high and chopped off Nagini's head.

"No, it's impossible!"

The expression on Voldemort's face, who had wanted to mock Dumbledore, froze for an instant, and screamed in pain. He couldn't understand why that weapon could kill Nagini. The Horcrux was protected by powerful black magic, almost nothing. What could hurt them, but Nagini, who was supposed to be indestructible, was cut off by a long sword, which was really hard for Voldemort to understand.

"It seems, I guessed right Tom, that snake is very important to you." Dumbledore put away the Gryffindor sword happily, and said to Voldemort, "It actually caused you to be killed after it was killed. Hurt, that snake seems to be your body?"

"Dumbledore, you can't kill me, and I will come back anytime." Voldemort roared ferociously.

"It seems that you are planning to hide in the Albanian forest and live a long life." Dumbledore calmly looked at the incompetent and furious Voldemort before him. He had seen this situation with Voldemort before, and normal means could not kill this state. Lord Voldemort, Dumbledore once looked for a way to kill him, but...now Voldemort is not a ghost, and the method of dealing with ghosts has no effect on him.

Voldemort fled, and escaped very quickly. When Dumbledore returned to Batty's house to look for Peter Pettigrew, Peter had already run away.

Dumbledore extinguished the flames and walked outside. He planned to see Crouch's situation. As long as he returned to normal, he should be able to tell from the other side who the spy was hiding at Hogwarts.

When Dumbledore found Bagman, he found that he was with four goblins.

"It's Voldemort, I've already dealt with him. However, that guy is not dead, he has escaped, and there is no need to worry about his problems for the time being." Dumbledore looked at Bagman with a somewhat ugly expression, and suddenly there was something wrong. Good foreboding, "How is Barty's situation?"

"Batti is dead." Bagman's face was more ugly than crying, "It was made by Peter Pettigrew, who suddenly appeared and attacked me. Fortunately, the fairies saved my life, but Peter still used Avada's life. The curse killed Barty."New chapters are published on _Fire

Dumbledore's face suddenly became gloomy. Batty's death was obviously related to his negligence. He didn't expect Peter to kill Batty at all.

In fact, Dumbledore didn’t know that Peter Pettigrew would have no choice but to kill Barty by force. If he didn’t do that, and Voldemort’s resurrection plan failed completely, then he would not only be on the blacklist of the Ministry of Magic, but he would definitely be on Voldemort’s. The blacklist will surely die when the time comes.

As for the dead pet snake Nagini, Peter felt that it was not a big deal. After all, it was just Voldemort’s pet. Even if Voldemort cared about it, his resurrection was not as important as his resurrection, and it was impossible for him to get from Dumbledore’s hands at the time. Save Nagini.

After all, it was Dumbledore, and Voldemort himself might not be an opponent, let alone a small role like him.

Not long afterward, Fudge, who had just eaten, hurried over with Auror and looked at the body of his former rival. The Minister of Magic's face was ugly, because Fudge already knew that Peter Pettigrew killed Batty. As for Ben Why did the damned Peter come back to life? Even if Fudge was stupid, he could guess the reason. Obviously, it was caused by Mrs. Peter when he visited Azkaban.

"It's Voldemort, Connelly." Dumbledore said calmly. "He became an ugly baby, but it is undeniable that he is alive and possesses a physical body. Although his body is quite fragile,... …This is not good news."

"The mysterious man is back? Stop kidding, Dumbledore..." Fudge stared at Dumbledore in a daze, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard. He stammered: "It's not funny at all."

"If Voldemort is resurrected, have you killed him?" Scrimgeour asked with a frown. At this moment, all the Aurors were looking at Dumbledore, expecting the answers they wanted to hear.

"After his body was destroyed by me, he ran away," Dumbledore said calmly.

"Escape, do you mean his soul floated away?" Everyone felt quite absurd.

"To be honest, I didn't understand how he did it. The state is very strange, a bit like a ghost, but not a ghost. I tried to use a spell on him, but it didn't work. I think Ava back then Voldemort did not die for this reason when the Dassault Curse bounced back." Dumbledore said quietly, "However, I think he should be quite weak now."

"You mean Voldemort, who has only his soul left, may have a body at any time?" Fudge felt that the sky was about to collapse.

"It should have been a physical body with the help of others. His body is actually very fragile and needs others to take care of, but this is not a good sign. God knows if he can regain his previous strength, and Peter Pettigrew is still aliveI think you'd better catch that guy as soon as possible, lest he make other problems."

"Isn't Peter Pettigrew dead?" Scrimgeour frowned.

"Do you think I'm lying?" Bagman roared angrily. "I almost died, and the fairies saw it."

"No, you misunderstood what I meant." Scrimgeour explained. "You probably don't know. Someone has confirmed this again and again some time ago. Peter Pettigrew is indeed dead, and his body is buried in Azkar. class."

There was a weird silence around him. Tonight's things were really weird. First Voldemort, and then Peter the dwarf who came back from the dead.

"I have to go back to Hogwarts first. You'd better search Barty's house. I'm a little worried about what conspiracy Voldemort is planning." Dumbledore took out his pocket watch and looked at the time and said, "What's the matter with us? Talk about it after ten o'clock. Ludo, I suggest you drink some tranquilizer and take a good night's rest. Barty’s death is not your fault. He obviously knows what was killed."

After Dumbledore left, Fudge and Scrimgeour were silent. They all looked at Bagman and asked, "Have you seen a mysterious person?"

"No, but I don't think Dumbledore has to lie to us." Bagman naturally understood what Fudge meant, but he didn't suspect Dumbledore was lying.

"We'd better talk to Dumbledore, and don't mention mysterious people in the newspaper. That will cause social panic." Fudge felt that if Dumbledore reported it, it might not be a problem of panic. "Moreover, Except for Dumbledore, no one has seen this with his own eyes. It is hard to believe his incredible statement. Whether or not the incident is true remains to be discussed, and I am afraid that everyone cannot accept it."
