A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 711 The Most Meticulous Plan

Principal's Office

Mad-Eye Moody lay on a stretcher, a white sheet covering his stiff body.

Phoenix Fox sang a low, mournful song, like the suona played in a village.

The curse continues, and death never stops.

William touched his neck and felt a chill.

After all that time, he hadn't realized that Mad-Eye Moody was also dead.

It's terrible.

Fortunately, William insisted on renaming Akali's Dark Magic Defense Sprint Class, otherwise he might have died long ago.

Therefore, one should not take the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor lightly.

From the year before William enrolled... Professor Robert was gored to death by a wild boar, Tywin died on the toilet, Quirrell was poisoned... all the way to Mad-Eye Moody now.

Six professors of Defense Against the Dark Arts... Apart from Professor Lupin, who had high magic resistance because he was a werewolf, which of the other professors didn't die a tragic death?

Tywin didn't die, but he was saved by William's time loop!

Otherwise, according to the original timeline, he would have been killed by himself long ago!

Even though he was rescued, Tywin's life isn't easy now.

When there was nothing to do, he was forced to do labor reform in Azkaban; when there was trouble, he was used as a health supplement by Dementors who would drain his vital energy.

Look... this is the terrifying effect of Voldemort's curse.

Moreover, this is only the known death toll; the unknown number is even greater.

Just look at this mortality rate, I ask you... who else can compare?!

Voldemort shouldn't have used his curse on this position; he should have used it on the Minister of Magic.

A new minister every year...that would be exciting!

From then on, the Minister of Magic became a more dangerous leadership position than the President of South Korea.

Dumbledore's blue eyes, peering through his crescent-shaped pupils at the white cloth, flashed with fury.

Moody was his friend of many years, but now he has been murdered.

Although William was able to activate the time loop and save Moody, he was still furious.

This also dissuaded him from his plan to have Snape take over Dangdang's place next school year.

This position should not be held by one of our own people!

We still need to do what we used to do: find some problematic wizards... and let Voldemort indirectly eliminate them.

That's one way to do good deeds anonymously.

"William, you've come to see me, so it seems you've decided to leave the time loop?"

Dumbledore sat in his chair and asked, as always.

"Yes, Professor," William nodded.

"I have a basic understanding of the whole matter, but I'm missing a few minor details. I've also caught up with Barty Jr., so let him, the person involved, speak for himself."

William pointed his wand at Krum, and his appearance began to change:

His hooked nose was getting smaller, his buzz cut black hair was growing longer and turning into a head of messy light yellow hair, and his face was covered with freckles.

The most bizarre thing was that Little Barty's body was missing both legs, but the bleeding had been forcibly stopped; it was a truly horrific sight.

Sure enough, it was his own son who came to ambush Crouch that time.

What a filial son!

Those who eat death are all filial sons.

William poured the truth serum into Barty's mouth, and the headmaster showed no reaction.

This is obviously illegal, but Dumbledore is not a being bound by law.

Little Barty opened his eyes, his gaze vacant, his cheeks drooping, like a mysterious doctor who had just been reborn and didn't know where he was.

William asked, "Can you hear me?"

Little Barty's eyelids fluttered a few times, then he nodded.

"Tell me, when did you get in touch with Voldemort?" William leaned back comfortably in his chair.

"On the night of the Quidditch final, I kidnapped a number of wizards in an attempt to threaten the Ministry of Magic and rescue my Death Eater companions."

But Stark somehow found me, and I was no match for him; he injured me badly.

I was caught by Shan Shan while I was running away.

A smug smile appeared on Little Barty's face: "That night I was captured and taken home. My father wanted to cast the Imperius Curse on me again, but my master came."

Crouch Jr.'s smile deepened, as if he were recalling the happiest time of his life.

"My father was thus cursed with a soul-stealing spell by his master. Now he is under house arrest and controlled."

"What does Voldemort want you to do?" Dumbledore asked.

He asked me if I was willing to take any risks for him.

I said I was willing.

Serving him and proving my loyalty to him is my lifelong dream and greatest wish.

William looked at the enthusiastic Barty and couldn't help but purse his lips.

People always say Voldemort doesn't have the same charisma as Grindelwald, but there's no shortage of fanatical followers who can become the Dark Lord!

Isn't Barty the best example? And then there's Bella in Azkaban, clamoring to dedicate herself to her master.

Bella is definitely not someone who's obsessed with looks.

It's hard to know what Bella's husband was thinking, after all, he had a Slytherin green hat on his head, and the person his wife was having an emotional affair with was Voldemort.

"What is your plan?" Dumbledore asked.

"The original plan was to make Harry Potter a warrior and guide him to win the Triwizard Tournament," Barty Jr. explained.

"All we need to do is replace the trophy with the door key so that the first person to catch it can be taken to the owner, and no one will notice anything amiss."

but--"

Little Barty paused:

"This resolution was rejected. My master learned an important piece of information from my father:"

The Goblet of Fire is still with Stark; it was given to him by the Italian Ministry of Magic.

If we rashly interfere with this magical item and allow Potter to become a warrior, he might find out who is tampering with the Goblet of Fire.

The master was very wary of Stark and didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

That's true. If someone touches the Goblet of Fire, the red dragon will definitely tell him.

"Master has devised a new plan and is preparing to find other warriors to help him win the Triwizard Cup," Little Barty continued.

"All we need to do is use Polyjuice Potion to swap Potter and that guy at the last level."

"So, you chose Ron?" William asked. "And used the Imperius Curse to control Ludo and help him win the championship?"

"Yes," Barty nodded. "The original plan was to capture Mad-Eye Moody."

He was someone Dumbledore trusted. If he were to use Polyjuice Potion to transform into him and infiltrate Hogwarts, no one would suspect a thing.

But Wormtail says that the Starks have a map of Hogwarts and can see other people's names, which Polyjuice Potion cannot conceal.

Moody also has a strong will. If he is remotely controlled using the Imperius Curse, he might break free, which increases the risk.

Wormtail and I then found Ludo, who was easier to deal with, and controlled him with the Imperius Curse during the summer vacation.

William thought about it and realized there was indeed news of Ludo being attacked during the summer holidays. At the time, everyone assumed it was the debt collectors who did it.

Ludo had lost a lot of money betting on football and was also a good friend of Ron's father. Even if he got close to Ron to help him, no one would suspect anything.

"Ludo was controlled by the insect tail, while I used the compound decoction to transform into my father's appearance."

"We have the same name, so there won't be any gaps on the map."

A look of annoyance appeared on Little Barty's face.

"But two unexpected things still happened in the middle."

Ron is so stupid, no matter how I try to help him, he just can't learn the magic to deal with the fire dragon.

Then, Ron got a zero on the first project.

And another oversight…

"The insect tail couldn't control Ludo, allowing him to escape in a semi-conscious state!" Little Barty said angrily.

William nodded slightly. This was also the reason why Ludo had been missing for a long time after the first project ended.

But everyone thought he ran away to escape debt collectors.

"I had no choice but to chase after Ludo, and without Ludo's help, Ron missed the second project and got a zero again."

Barty Jr. was so angry his teeth were grinding, as if he wanted to kill Ron and Ludo.

These two ruined the perfect plan.

"I tracked him down for a long time, and after I caught Ludo, another unexpected thing happened: my father also escaped from the insect tail."

Little Barty has added another teammate he wants to kill.

William strongly suspected that this was Tom Jr.'s order, deliberately sending Wormtail to cause Voldemort trouble.

"I received orders from my master to stop my father, but Stark was there too, and he almost killed me."

That was the time when William used a spell to cut off both of Barty's legs.

"Fortunately, because of Ludo's disappearance, my master became vigilant and cast a curse on my father to prevent him from revealing anything about us."

Little Barty looked confused.

"But for some reason, Stark and Granger figured out that I wasn't dead."

The Aurors from the Ministry of Magic arrived, so we had to flee. We'll continue to keep Ludo under control and act as backup inside Hogwarts.

Little Barty said unhappily, "The original plan has come to this point, and it can no longer be carried out."

"Porter has absolutely no chance of winning the Triwizard Tournament from Granger."

The plan had to be changed once again: Flashy was ordered to take him away from the maze.

"But the master didn't want Dumbledore to suspect us, and he didn't want the resurrection to be disturbed."

After his resurrection, he still needs time to gather his old followers and search for those dark forces.

Therefore, it was necessary to create the appearance that Potter died of natural causes.

"So you've got your eye on Krum? Krum was knocked unconscious by Ludo, wasn't he?" William said.

Harry originally brought Krum with him when he went to Hogsmeade.

Later, Harry suddenly stopped going, and Krum was walking up the stairs when someone attacked him.

Near the scene of the crime were Harry, Mad-Eye Moody, Filch, Ron... and Ludo.

Krum initially thought it was Filch who did it, but now he thinks it could only have been Ludo.

"That's right, we knocked Krum unconscious so we could get his hair," Little Barty explained.

"Before the match, I transformed into his appearance, sneaked into his room, and then subdued him."

Ludo had Ron invite Potter to train him, and then took the opportunity to control Potter, causing Potter and Krum to switch identities.

It was also Ludo who, near the maze, drove away magical creatures, deliberately bringing Cedric closer to Harry.

Cedric was drawn by the screams and witnessed Krum kill Ron.

He is a witness, and the magic wand is physical evidence.

The entire plan was flawless; no one would suspect that we secretly took Potter away.

Little Barty had a crazy expression on his face.

"And I used Krum's face to get close to Karkaroff, controlled him, made him look like Krum, and finally died in Myrtle's bathroom."

I destroyed the entire ship in retaliation for Karkaroff's betrayal...

William leaned back in his chair and sighed softly. The process was largely as he had guessed.

The final result undoubtedly deceived both William and Dumbledore, successfully bringing Harry to Voldemort's side.

Indeed, no one should be underestimated... not even this insane Voldemort.
