After a short and cordial conversation, Karkaroff had confirmed the fact that his life was safe. He became a little bolder and his brain became more active.
Countless thoughts and speculations flashed through my mind.
What exactly happened that night that caused the invincible 'one' to disappear after that night without any warning is a mystery that many people in the wizarding world want to know.
Karkaroff was no exception. He wanted to know why the once all-powerful 'that one' turned into a little wizard, but he didn't dare to tell, let alone ask.
The only thing that is certain is that the person in front of him is 'that', and only 'that' can make the mark have such an obvious reaction.
As if he saw what Karkaroff was thinking, Dudley said half-explanation and half-muttered: "That prophecy was a trap, a trap for me. That night I lost my former body."
As a former high-ranking Death Eater, Karkaroff certainly knew what that prophecy was referring to.
That was a prophecy presented by Snape, and 'that one' firmly believed in the content of the prophecy.
As for what the prophecy said specifically, Karkaroff was not sure. He only knew that after hearing the prophecy, 'that person' was going to kill someone, and he had to do it himself.
At that time, some people thought it was a trap and told 'that one', and then... they were given a mysterious green light.
No one can teach 'that' what to do.
nobody!
"But they didn't expect that I would come back."
Dudley's cold words made Karkaroff tremble again unconsciously. Someone was going to be in bad luck, or in big trouble.
"Karkaroff, I want you to do something for me."
After hearing this, Karkaroff very decisively knelt at Dudley's feet again, as if he had performed a demonstration that had been tempered thousands of times.
"No matter what it is, I will do my best to get it done for you."
Not to mention anything else, this humble attitude alone is very satisfying.
See, this is called professionalism.
"That night I lost not only my body, but also my once invincible strength."
After a pause after saying this, Karkaroff still knelt down at Dudley's feet. Even after hearing this 'big' secret, he didn't react at all.
In his eyes, even if he loses his invincible power, 'that' is still 'that'.
What he has to do now is to be loyal to him wholeheartedly.
As if he was very satisfied with Karkaroff's attitude, the voice above him continued.
"After these years of investigation, I discovered a secret. Everything that happened back then was done by a half-blood wizard named Tom. This damn half-blood thief tried to become me. He wanted to replace me. Although I saw through it, he still Successfully stealing them stole part of my power."
"Damn half-breed bastard!"
Karkaroff looked even more excited than the person involved.
"Don't worry, as your most loyal servant, I will torture him to death with the cruelest curse in the world!"
Karkaroff echoed loudly, but with his head lowered, he didn't see Dudley's strange eyes.
'Well done! I hope you won't wet your pants when you find out the truth. '
Dudley looked down at the other person and continued: "You are no match for him. Even if that despicable thief just steals a little bit of power, you are not something you can fight against."
Karkaroff continued to lie down and kept saying yes. He said that you would never dare to let him go up and do it.
"My loyal servant, my strength is also recovering. I will deal with the thief myself."
"Your power is as vast as the stars and the sea. That damn mixed-race thief just stole a scoop of it. Naturally, he cannot be your opponent."
Karkaroff followed Dudley's words and spared no effort in praising him, since it doesn't cost money to praise someone.
"Very well. My faithful servant, this is for you."
Karkaroff, who was lying at his feet, raised his hands and took what Dudley gave him very respectfully.
A big green snail was falling into a deep sleep with a huge snot bubble coming out of it.
Karkaroff didn't know why, he didn't know what it was, but he didn't dare to ask, so he could only hold it with both hands. Fortunately, Dudley soon answered his doubts.
"This is a phone bug that can be used for communication. With it, you can contact me directly. I will also contact you through it when necessary."
"Much more reliable than an owl."
Karkaroff carefully put it away, and he had many more tricks than that one more than ten years ago.
"Don't tell others about my appearance for the time being. The time is not yet ripe, but you can try to contact others. I would like to know how many people are willing to be loyal to me like you."
Those cold words without a trace of emotion made Karkaroff shudder unconsciously. 'That person' will never show mercy to the betrayer. Death is the best relief.
Karkaroff held a moment of silence in his heart for his former colleagues.
Never mind them, as long as you're fine, you'll be fine.
Karkaroff thought very selfishly.
After watching Karkaroff leave and disappear at the end of the garden, Dudley looked up at the moon in the sky. It was big and round, and the soft moonlight was shining on the earth. It was so beautiful.
Today is another full moon night.
Why does Karkaroff's Dark Mark get hot?
Of course it was because Dudley controlled it.
That's not some extraordinary magic. It's just the simplest contract magic.
Once you crack it, you can naturally use it.
Under the analysis of the data magic eye, this magic has no meaning.
And unlike Dudley and senior Tom who could only make everyone's Dark Mark heat up at the same time, he could make a single person's Dark Mark react, which was equivalent to a more detailed operation based on the other party's. , no wonder Karloff is so convinced.
Just imagine how a normal fourth grade wizard could do this.
At this time, the dance in the auditorium was coming to an end. Only a handful of people were left. Most of the young wizards had left, even some professors. Some people saw Beauxbatons' Madame Maxime and Hogwarts Professor Hagrid from the Care of Magical Creatures class ended their song and left together.
What should be confessed, what failed to be confessed, what was succeeded in confessing, all happened tonight.
There were even many young wizards who had just become lovers and went into the nearby woods together.
No one will restrain them tonight, everyone is having fun tonight, this is a carnival for the little wizards.
There is joy and sorrow.
There is sadness and joy.
This is youth.
But tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Many people suffer from insomnia because of this.
