Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 441 Little Hangleton
On the way back to the wand shop, Siren kept thinking about one thing.

Earlier in St. Mungo's, Dumbledore said he found Alastor Moody, who was seriously injured and unconscious, in Little Hangleton.

And Little Hangleton is where Voldemort once lived. Most importantly, there is something there that can allow him to complete his final resurrection.

The Death Eaters probably gathered there for this reason: Voldemort needed the bones of his Muggle father.

But how did Moody know all this? What did he discover in the Ministry of Magic that made him rush there so urgently, without even waiting for help?

If an Auror had been with him at the time, given Moody's caution and experience, even if the Death Eaters had set a trap, it probably wouldn't have been so easy to catch him.

Who would have thought that Moody, who is always cautious, would stumble because of carelessness and almost lose his life.

Furthermore, those Death Eaters were also acting strangely.

Instead of killing Moody immediately, they tortured him with the Cruciatus Curse and the Thorn Curse...

Siren could understand the Cruciatus Curse; among the escaped Death Eaters was Bellatrix Lestrange, and that madman loved it.

But what about the Thorn Curse?

Although this was the first time Siren had heard of this curse, its name and the blood-soaked bandages covering Moody's body made it easy to guess that it was also a curse used to torture people. Its effect was similar to wrapping thorns around one's body and piercing the skin.

The problem is that compared to the excruciating pain of the Crucifixion that reaches the very soul, this physical pain is utterly insignificant.

To put it simply, if the Death Eaters used both of these spells on Moody at the same time, Moody might not even be able to sense the presence of the Thorn Curse.

So why is that? Is it simply to make him look more pitiful?
Or perhaps... the blood of an enemy?

A thought popped into Xilun's mind, but he quickly shook his head.

That can't be it... He remembered that Voldemort only had Harry in his heart, and he was willing to postpone his resurrection for a year in order to use his blood.

Moreover, only by using Harry's blood could Voldemort ignore the protective magic on Harry's body. Otherwise, even if he were resurrected, he would not be able to use the Killing Curse on Harry, or he would repeat the same mistake he made more than ten years ago.

Unless he's willing to wait until Harry comes of age, that protective magic will completely disappear.

Would a proud wizard like Voldemort be willing to wait until Harry comes of age to take revenge?

Obviously not. Not to mention that Harry will be an adult in two more years, even if it were two days, two hours, or even two minutes, Voldemort would not wait.

His target is most likely still Harry.

“I need to think of a way to remind Dumbledore…” Sirius stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Voldemort's resurrection requires the flesh of his servant, the bones of his father, and the blood of his enemies. The servant's flesh can be disregarded, as this condition is far too easy for Voldemort.

For those crazed Death Eaters, let alone just a piece of meat, if Voldemort asked for it, they would not hesitate to use Avada Kedavra on themselves, even if it meant taking the life of a servant.

In addition, the blood of his enemies corresponds to Harry, which is something that can be prepared for. For example, the gadget he gave Harry to pinpoint his location during the second event of the Triwizard Tournament.

Dumbledore could also make him something similar, so that even if Harry was taken away by the Death Eaters, he could get there immediately and kill Voldemort on the spot before he was fully resurrected.

Then the simplest thing is to find Voldemort's father's grave, pack everything including the coffin and soil, and throw it into the fire. This will also prevent Voldemort from resurrecting.

If it were Dumbledore, it should be easy for him to do. The difficulty lies in how Siron can tell him and whether he can find the grave of Voldemort's Muggle father.

Even after returning to the wand shop, Siron couldn't come up with a good excuse.

Harry and Sirius are good choices; compared to Dumbledore, it's much easier to come up with a story they can believe.

We can then have Harry tell Sirius, who will then tell Dumbledore, or we can find a way to have Harry tell Dumbledore directly.

As for the story... the prophecy is quite good; many people now know he has a talent for prophecy, and Harry firmly believes in it.

In the following days, Siren kept a close eye on the situation at St. Mungo's.

To his surprise, after so many days, there was still no news in the Daily Prophet.

Clearly, the Ministry of Magic chose to conceal the fact that Alastor Moody was injured.

“My dad said Fudge is absolutely stupid,” Fred muttered in the wand shop. “He thinks that the fact that the Death Eaters almost killed Professor Moody will cause panic among the public, so he insists on not revealing the truth.”

"If you ask me, he's not afraid of people panicking at all, but he's afraid of people thinking he's incompetent."

"He can't do anything right. He couldn't find Sirius Black before, and now he can't find those escaped Death Eaters either."

"That idiot minister!"

……

“Hey, you two, keep your voices down.” Celen put down the wand he had just finished. “If someone hears this, it could get Mr. Weasley in trouble.”

"What's there to be afraid of? There's no one else here," Fred said nonchalantly.

They were all on the second floor of the wand shop, in Siron's room, so there was no need to worry about being overheard.

“Because of fear, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand and pretending nothing happened, that’s exactly the kind of thing Fudge would do.” Sirius sighed and said, “And Dumbledore, did he agree too?”

“Of course not,” Fred said. “I heard he had a big fight with Fudge.”

"But there's nothing he can do."

Dumbledore was merely a headmaster. Even with the title of Chief Wizard of the International Wizarding Federation, some matters were still decided by Fudge, the minister.

"Speaking of which, this matter has also affected Percy," George said angrily.

"What does this have to do with Percy?" Celen asked疑惑地. "Could it be that Percy leaked some information to Professor Moody, which led to his departure from the Ministry of Magic?"

"of course not."

"Professor Moody didn't see Percy at all that day."

"What does this have to do with Percy?"

“Because of Legilimency,” Fred explained. “Scrimgeour had already determined that Percy’s memories had not been altered and that he would be able to prove himself with Truth Potion in the next few days.”

"But after this incident, Fudge took a hard line and dragged the timeline out until September."

"He just doesn't want to admit that he arrested the wrong person."

"This is the first time I've ever seen my dad so angry."

“After he got home last night, he kept cursing Fudge in the kitchen.”

“We all heard it.”

"Poor Percy..."
