Hogwarts: Undercover Death Eater Replaces the Dark Lord

"Winky won't let you take the Master away again!" screamed the house-elf.

Lycos thought to himself that it was not good, he actually forgot about the Crouch family's house-elf.

"Dobby!" he shouted.

Fortunately, Lycos also had external help... Long before going to the Ministry of Magic, he arranged for Dobby to arrive near Crouch Manor first.

After all, Lecos didn't dare to underestimate a person like Barty Crouch Jr.

Dobby could at least hold Winky back for a while, giving him a chance to complete the Imperius Curse on Barty Crouch Jr.

With a "bang", the reliable Dobby appeared in front of Lecos.

"Mr. Hayden, what do you need Dobby for?"

"Stop the Crouch house-elf and don't let her disturb me." Lycos watched Dobby block Winky and turned to face Barty Crouch Jr. again.

However, when he saw Barty Jr.'s performance, his face couldn't help but darken.

The desire in little Barty's eyes gradually faded, and his expression became dazed again... Then, the trance in his eyes was gradually replaced by weirdness and cruelty.

"The spell you just chanted doesn't seem right..." He licked his lips coldly, "No, you were not sent by the master, you betrayed the master..."

The next moment, his voice suddenly became fierce.

"Traitors, all must die!!"

Little Barty suddenly opened his palms towards the ground, and the magic wand that Lycos dropped on the ground instantly flew towards Little Barty.

Lecos immediately realized that something was wrong, and pulled out another wand from his left sleeve and tried to stop him... But little Barty was too fast, and Lecos's wand fell into his hand in an instant.

Now, Barty Crouch Jr., who had no weapon, had a wand by his side, and his aura changed. It seemed as if he had returned to the time more than a decade ago when he followed Voldemort and dominated the wizarding world.

"Silent and wandless spellcasting, is it really necessary to be so exaggerated..." Lycos gritted his teeth.

He didn't have time to think, as a dazzling green light burst out from Little Batty's hand.

Lecos could only throw out a killing curse with his backhand, which collided violently with little Barty's killing curse!

Sparks flew all over the sky in Crouch Manor, almost turning the surrounding green plants and flowers into the same pale green... and the movement here also startled Bertha Jorkins who was not far away.

She never thought that a sudden life-and-death duel would break out here. She just thought that the Malfoy family's trade manager played by Lecos had accidentally touched some mechanism in Crouch Manor.

So she hurried over here with the intention of watching the fun.

"I admit that you used the Killing Curse quite well..."

Even though he was in a wave battle with Lycos, and was using a wand that was not very convenient for him, Little Barty still had the leisure to make a few sarcastic remarks.

"But you have no killing intent in your heart... Whose life can a killing curse without killing intent take?"

After saying that, he actually gradually increased the intensity of the spell.

The intersection of the two green lights and sparks slowly moved towards Lycos' side.

Lycos gritted his teeth.

Even though he was holding someone else's wand, even though he had been under the Imperius Curse for more than ten years, even though he hadn't used magic for many years... Little Barty still suppressed Lecos in his most proficient black magic with just one move.

After all, in the original book, Barty Jr. is the kind of wizard who can disguise himself as the legendary Auror Moody without any flaws. Today's Lecos is simply unable to deal with it!

……

Chapter 221 Duel

Seeing that there was no solution, Lycos immediately pulled back his wand.

At the same time, he hastily used flying magic to move half a body length sideways, barely avoiding the oncoming killing curse.

His mind raced as he set his sights on the house-elf who was still entangled with Dobby.

"Shanshan, didn't your master ask you to take good care of your young master?" Lycos shouted hurriedly, "See, he's gone mad! If you keep trying to stop me, he'll definitely escape from here!"

Before he could finish his words, little Barty recklessly cast the second killing curse.

Lycos rolled on the ground and barely dodged it again.

"Dobby, wake her up!" he shouted again, and at the same time he found that the grass under his feet suddenly moved.

It was as if every blade of grass had transformed into a green venomous snake, snaking towards Lycos's feet...

This is... a Transfiguration spell.

Lecos almost forgot that Barty Crouch Jr. was not only good at the Dark Arts, but also at various other types of magic... He got twelve excellent grades in the Advanced Wizarding Level Examination!

Fortunately, Lycos knows more than just the most basic spell-casting skills.

"Protego Diabolica!"

Black flames rose from under Lycos' feet and instantly burned the poisonous snake transformed from the green grass under his feet to ashes.

Then, the black flames suddenly merged and turned into a beast made of flames, rushing towards Barty Crouch Jr. The air around the beast seemed to be distorted by the heat.

Little Barty cast several spells in succession, but was engulfed by the black flames one after another.

He didn't seem to be panicking, but instead had a strange smile on his face.

"It's true that I underestimated you."

The next moment, all the objects in Crouch Manor, including the shrubs, furnishings, and ornaments around Little Barty, flew over and gathered in front of him... The momentum of the black flame stagnated.

Before the flames completely engulfed those things, Little Barty cast a lightening spell on himself and quickly appeared on the left side of Lycos.

"Deprimo!"

This was the first time that little Barty had cast a spell since the battle, so the spell was incredibly powerful.

With a loud "bang", the ground under Lycos' feet collapsed, and a huge deep pit appeared in the yard. Countless gravel and soil fell down with Lycos.

And then there was another killing curse, from top to bottom - and Lycos was still in the air, with no foothold, and had no power to dodge.

Barty Crouch Jr. had a sinister grin on his face.

However, to his surprise, a hint of scorn appeared on Lycos's face, and then his body moved sideways several feet without any support, passing by the green beam of light.

Then, Lycos kicked the side of the deep pit and flew up like a bullet, returning to the ground.

"Tsk, you really don't care about your own manor."

He looked around and saw that the manor, which was once well-decorated and beautiful, was now almost in ruins.

The lawn and furnishings were burned by the fire shield, leaving a large open space, and a huge depression was formed on the ground, as if it had been hit by a meteorite from the sky.

However, Barty Crouch Jr. seemed not to hear what Lecos said. He looked at the mist that had not yet dissipated in the deep pit, his eyes red.

"You...what gives you the right..." Little Barty's mind became hazy again, his eyes bloodshot. "Why did you learn the master's magic? You are obviously just a traitor!!"

Lacos realized instantly that Barty Crouch Jr. had recognized his flying magic.

He suddenly felt a little funny.

It seems that there are only two people in the entire wizarding world who have learned Voldemort's exclusive flying magic, namely Snape and himself.

And both of them are traitors to the Death Eaters.

……

While Lycos and Barty Crouch Jr. were confronting each other, two house-elves were arguing not far away.

"Winky, you have to think carefully about what you are doing!" Dobby shrieked. "Barty Crouch Jr. is a murderer, a criminal who should have been imprisoned in Azkaban more than a decade ago. You can't let him escape from here!"

"The young master is not a sinner!" Winky retorted loudly, "He was simply deceived by the Dark Lord. He has made great progress now!"

Dobby looked back at the smirk on Barty Crouch Jr.'s face, and for the first time realized the speechless nature of the existence of house-elves.

But he had no solution to this problem and could only persuade from a different angle.

"No matter whether your little master has made progress or not, you can't let him run away, right?" Dobby said patiently, "Didn't Mr. Crouch give you any orders? For example, to keep a good eye on the little master..."

"Yes, there is, but..."

"That's no problem!" Dobby interrupted Winky, "Then let's go help Mr. Hayden. Let's subdue your little master first, then we can do anything else!"

After saying that, Dobby ran with his short legs to the battlefield where Lecos and Little Batty were fighting.

Shanshan gritted his teeth secretly and followed nervously.

……

At this time, Lycos had fallen into a disadvantage again.

He had hoped to stall for time by chatting until Dobby could convince Winky or Bertha Jorkins could rush over from the other side of the manor, but Barty Crouch Jr. was impossible to communicate with.

So he had to use all his skills to continue the life-and-death duel.

Fortunately, Barty Crouch Jr. hadn't had the opportunity to use magic for a long time, and his mind wasn't very clear. Plus, he was holding Lycos's wand, so he couldn't unleash its full power...

Otherwise, Lycos might have collapsed.

"Mr. Hayden, Dobby is here with Winky to help you!" Dobby's voice came over.

Immediately afterwards, Barty Crouch Jr. was knocked off balance by a curse.

He glanced at Dobby and Winky with a sinister look, and his face darkened when he saw Winky.

"Shanshan, stop him for me, this is an order!" Little Batty said coldly.

When Shanshan heard the word "command", he trembled all over and obeyed almost subconsciously.

"Winky, make sure you follow Crouch's orders or Barty Jr.'s orders!" Dobby screamed at the same time.

Shanshan was in a dilemma for a moment, not knowing who to help.

But that's enough.

With Dobby's help, Lycos finally regained some energy and focused on summoning his wand...

"Accio My Wand!"

Lycos's wand suddenly twitched in little Barty's hand, making it almost impossible for him to hold it, and the spell that was half-cast was interrupted.

The next moment, Lycos raised his hand and cast a disarming spell—

"Expelliarmus!"

The wand in little Barty's hand was thrown high up, and like a young swallow returning to its nest, it eagerly broke free from little Barty's restraints and flew into Lycos's hands.
