Harry Potter: I started checking in from Diagon Alley

It's possible that the two people didn't reach an agreement.

Rozier, however, was unwilling to give up the Grindelwald brand.

Hilar Rozier's name is of no use to those who come to him because of Grindelwald's reputation.

That's why all the attacks they've planned since the Duel Club have seemed so inefficient.

There are probably many other dark wizards taking advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters.

In short, within this organization that Hilario Rozier built using Grindelwald's name, Hilario Rozier's influence was not significant.

This may be why she ultimately decided to target Eric.

Eric is now a very famous name.

A genius of Hogwarts, a disciple of Nicolas Flamel...

Both in terms of reputation and ability, Eric is showing signs of becoming the center of attention.

Getting rid of Eric would be a great achievement for Hilario Rozier.

She personally killed a genius wizard who had the potential to reach Dumbledore's level.

Of all these people, what shocked Eric the most was not the appearance of Hilar Rozier, but the object being held in another person's arms.

Judging from its shape, it appears to be a human form resembling an infant.

According to the original Harry Potter timeline, Voldemort has not yet used dark magic to reclaim his physical body.

Right now, he is in the shape of a baby!

Voldemort has actually teamed up with Rozier, who is using Grindelwald's name!

This conclusion instantly filled Eric's mind.

Eric's thoughts raced, while in reality, only a short while had passed.

Eric's appearance was like a spark, igniting the already oppressive atmosphere.

Without much talk or orders, the surrounding dark wizards suddenly sprang into action the moment they sensed someone teleporting over, unleashing their most proficient attack magic at Eric.

Magic burst forth from them without reservation, pouring forth upon Eric through spells.

There were more than ten dark wizards present. When these ten or so attacked Eric together, the effect was extremely terrifying.

More than a dozen spells, some fast and some slow, struck the spot where Eric was standing at different speeds.

The spells combined into a dazzling, multicolored light that rushed towards Eric.

In an instant, the spot where Eric stood was illuminated in a kaleidoscope of colors.

boom!

A muffled explosion rang out, and the chaotic spells interfered with each other during flight, even causing continuous vibrations in the air.

Someone used an explosive spell, which hit the ground and blasted several tombstones into a starchy state.

Amidst the chaotic light and explosions, Eric himself was nowhere to be seen; all that could be seen were the magical energy waves generated by the collision of spells and the dazzling light.

A deafening explosion rang out, and among these spells were many that could alter the surrounding terrain!

The soil beneath Eric's feet rose from the ground, transforming into a swamp, and at the same time, several enormous fireballs appeared, rushing down from above and scorching everything in their path.

The dark wizards, unleashing spells, pressed closer, each exerting their utmost magical power. Unforgivable curses were unleashed one after another, and specks of green light flew back and forth in the air.

The dark wizards' positions were rehearsed beforehand to ensure that their spells would not harm their own companions.

Spells, curses, all kinds of offensive curses, polymorphism, potions...

Various attacks, like a downpour, instantly overwhelmed the area where Eric was located.

From Eric touching the door key, to the teleportation, and then the siege that followed his reappearance.

This is a series of meticulously planned conspiracies.

The target was undoubtedly Eric himself.

While Eric was studying the enemy, the enemy was also studying him.

The brilliance of this trap lies in the fact that Eric mistakenly believes that Barty Jr. is holding Harry's wand.

After leaving the stadium, he used the Find-the-Object spell the whole time, following behind Shining and Barty.

He even witnessed Barty Jr. picking up Harry's wand.

Therefore, he didn't even look at the wand he had obtained after surrendering.

Because he knew that, according to the original plot of Harry Potter, the wand that appeared in Barty Jr.'s hands originally belonged to Harry.

This led Eric to subconsciously assume that the wand was safe, without considering the possibility that the wand might turn into a door key.

He never expected that Barty, Voldemort's loyal subordinate, would join forces with Grindelwald's side to attack him.

Hilario Rozier and Batty Crouch Jr. are a perfect match.

One was tasked with luring Eric away to isolate him, while the other set up a targeted trap.

The combination of these two parties came as no one expected.

Previously, no one realized that Voldemort could cooperate with Grindelwald's side.

Neither Dumbledore nor Eric considered this possibility.

Voldemort was an extremely proud man; he was capable and quite conceited.

He is not the kind of person who would ask others for help.

It is even less likely that they would join forces with another party to achieve a certain goal.

This was an unimaginable humiliation for Voldemort.

People like Voldemort are relatively easy to judge in terms of their thinking.

This is especially true for people like Eric and Dumbledore who know Voldemort better.

But now, it is clear that empiricism has proven deadly.

Dumbledore and Eric used past information to predict Voldemort's actions.

This led them to make a serious strategic miscalculation.

Voldemort's sudden unconventional actions had a surprising effect.

At least they managed to trick Eric into coming.

In this trap, Little Barty's role is no different from that of a suicide squad member.

Door keys are not magical items that can be made temporarily; they require a long period of preparation before they can take effect.

At the same time, a teleportation network similar to FlooNet needs to be built between the two locations.

This task is usually handled by the Ministry of Magic.

Therefore, the door key is not duplicated; under those circumstances, there could only be one.

Barty Jr. made it to resemble Harry Potter's wand, proving that he came fully prepared.

He even anticipated that Eric would see through his invisibility.

This task is extremely dangerous, and the probability of success is low.

Barty, who holds the key to the door, may even have to risk his life to get Eric to touch it if necessary.

However, Barty Crouch Jr. happened to be the most suitable person for this plan.

He was fiercely loyal to Voldemort, unlike Peter, a scoundrel who would succumb to any temptation. Barty was willing to die for Voldemort's orders.

Barty Jr. would never hesitate if Voldemort needed him.

At the same time, Batistuta Jr. has enough value that Eric will not overlook his presence.

Thus, under the influence of various factors, Barty Crouch Jr. accomplished his mission exceptionally well.

Although they didn't know that Eric had originally come for Barty Jr.

However, this trap set for Eric still proved to be very effective.

By sheer chance, it turned out to be a lucky accident.

Because of a small ingrained way of thinking, Eric is now surrounded and attacked.

Chapter 176 Almost

"stop!"

The sky was filled with flames and the dust from the explosion, which filled the entire cemetery.

After seeing his subordinates bombard him with spells for a while, Hilarozir on the high platform finally gave a loud command.

It was a combined attack by more than a dozen people, all of whom were top-notch fighters.

This offensive lasted for about a minute.

With such a density of attacks, no human being should be able to survive today.

In the small area that Eric teleported to, not only were various restrictive spells set up, but also as many as twelve kinds of magical potions were poured in, all to change the surrounding environment and soil, so that the reaction speed of people teleported through the portal key would be reduced as much as possible.

The only downside is that they couldn't cast an anti-Apparition spell on the spot like Eric did when he was fishing in the Forbidden Forest.

Because the Anti-Apparition Charm can also counter the Portkey.

They also couldn't pinpoint exactly when Eric would touch the door key.

That's the part that belongs to Barty Jr.

This gap, which was forced to remain, was Eric's only chance of escape.

However, the chances of Eric successfully escaping are extremely slim.

Based on the previous experiences of the mole and his crew, and the intelligence gathering they've done during this period...

Hilar Rozier was confident that as long as Eric's magical abilities remained as previously indicated by intelligence, he would have no chance of escaping this siege.

In Rozier's eyes, Eric was indeed a gifted wizard, but he was not a god.

He also needs to prepare in advance when facing traps, or fight back with magic.
