Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 319 Searching for Barty Crouch Jr.
The Death Eaters were Voldemort's most trusted henchmen, and their strength should not be underestimated. The sandstorm stirred up by Professor Flitwick obviously could not hold them off for long.

Once they realized what was happening, they quickly calmed the dust storm.

At this moment, Mr. Weasley rushed out of the tent again, followed by Bill, Charlie, and Percy.

They were all dressed neatly, sleeves rolled up high, wands in hand, and ran toward the oncoming procession.

“We need to help the department maintain order,” Mr. Weasley shouted to the others behind him. “You lot, hurry into the woods and stay together.”

“Don’t worry, Arthur, we’ll take good care of them,” Professor Sprout said, stepping forward and quickly forming a protective circle around the group with Lupin.

Seeing this, Mr. Weasley finally felt relieved.

Fortunately, the professors didn't leave after the competition and stayed a little longer. With Professor Sprout and Lupin helping him, he no longer needed to worry about the children's safety.

"Hurry up, let's get out of here first."

As Professor Sprout spoke, he grabbed the youngest girl, Ginny, and ran with her toward the woods.

"Wait, have you seen Xiren?" Fred suddenly asked.

He looked around and everyone was there except for Xilun.

“Sirlen? Isn’t he right there…” Lupin turned around, about to say something, but found that the spot where Sirlen had been standing was no longer occupied.

When asked again, they found that no one around had noticed when Xilun disappeared; it was as if he had simply vanished into thin air.

This……

Lupin immediately found himself in a dilemma.

He originally came to watch the Quidditch World Cup to protect Harry, and what has happened now confirms what Siron said: the Death Eaters have indeed appeared, and once they find Harry, they certainly won't let it go.

However, he was really worried about Xilun's sudden disappearance, and his inner conflict left him standing there in a dilemma.

Fortunately, Professor Sprout immediately spoke up, "Remus, go find Siron Ollivander right now. Leave the children to me."

"it is good."

This time, Lupin did not hesitate and immediately headed in the opposite direction.

Meanwhile, near the Death Eater procession, a black cat was hiding beside several collapsed tents, its blue and yellow eyes fixed on the masked hooded wizards and the people fleeing in panic nearby, seemingly searching for something.

“No…no house-elves…” Siron jumped out and moved to another spot.

He was looking for the house-elf of Barty Crouch, or rather, the little Barty Crouch hidden in the invisibility cloak.

Half of the reason why Siron came to watch the Quidditch World Cup was because of him.

If possible, Siren would love to send Barty Crouch Jr. to meet his colleague Peter Pettigrew.

In this way, Voldemort will lose his two most important allies, and it will probably not be so easy for him to be resurrected.

However, because his ticket wasn't for a top-floor box, he never saw the house-pom ...

If Siren is not mistaken, the house-elf Sparky must have used Apparition to leave, just as it took Barty Crouch Jr. to the penthouse.

Although the stadium was under Anti-Apparition spells during the match, these spells were completely ineffective against house-pockets, who could still move freely through them.

In this way, Barty Crouch Jr., hidden inside the Invisibility Cloak, could avoid crowded places and greatly reduce the risk of exposure.

He also managed to evade another person who was looking for him.

Siren had no idea where Barty Crouch's tent was, and neither did Mr. Weasley. So, if he wanted to find Barty Crouch Jr., this chaos was his only chance.

But where is he...?

With a powerful leap, Xilun jumped to another spot.

Just then, a spell flew from not far away and landed right on the head of the black cat that Xilun had transformed into.

Just as Xiren was about to be struck by the curse, a book with a black cover appeared in the middle of the path ahead of time.

As the book was turned, the curse landed on it, vanishing without a trace like a pebble thrown into a black lake.

However, a complex magical symbol appeared out of nowhere on the originally blank page.

Xilun looked up.

Judging from the feedback of the spell, it should be a Corrosion Spell, a type of dark magic that can quickly corrode anything it touches.

Xilun narrowed his eyes, somewhat disappointed.

Well, the Corrosion Curse is more insidious and vicious, suitable for causing destruction, but its power is not great, far inferior to the Explosion Curse that was swallowed up in the [Soul Weapon Codex].

Incidentally, this is why his other half came here: to enrich the spell repertoire in the [Soul Weapon Codex].

This special wand can absorb spells and store them in the form of runes, then restore them to spells when needed.

Due to limited resources, the spells stored in the [Soul Weapon Codex] were previously limited to spells like stun and disarm.

But when it comes to the power of spells, dark magic is definitely superior.

However, Siron doesn't know black magic. He does have people around him who do, but none of them could help him with this.

This riot presents a perfect opportunity.

In just a few minutes, Siron collected two blasting spells and one corrosive spell.

Strictly speaking, these were not what he wanted most. While searching for Barty Crouch Jr., he would occasionally glance at the Death Eaters, just to see if they had the aura of the Killing Curse.

If it were Voldemort's Killing Curse, he certainly wouldn't try to block it with the Horcrux, because it wouldn't be able to stop it at all, at least not now.

But if it's just a Killing Curse cast by a Death Eater, Siron thinks he could definitely give it a try.

If he succeeds, he will have a pretty good trump card.

However, since the chaos began, dark magic has been rampant, but not a single Unforgivable Curse has appeared.

Even when the Death Eaters tortured the Roberts family, they only used a special levitation spell.

Clearly, they also understand the difference between creating chaos and courting disaster.

If you haven't used the Unforgivable Curse, the worst you'll get if you're caught is a fine and a few days in jail before you're released.

However, once the Unforgivable Curse is used, the nature of the curse changes completely, and being caught is no longer something that can be resolved by being locked up for a few days.

"These guys are really cautious!"

Xiren waited a while longer, but still didn't see the spell he was expecting. Then he leaped onto the book in mid-air and flew off in another direction.
