Chapter 3: 3
Chapter 148 Tom Cat?
"If this is the plan of other Death Eaters, their purpose is most likely to resurrect Tom; if we destroy their plan, Tom will not be able to be resurrected for at least a long time, and then I will have enough time to destroy the remaining Horcruxes." Dumbledore
said slowly. There were not only Kahn, but also other members of the Order of the Phoenix such as Moody. However, many people did not know Dumbledore's plan and Voldemort's Horcruxes. Only Kahn knew it completely.
"The more Horcruxes are damaged, the weaker Tom will be. If six Horcruxes are destroyed, Tom's strength will be stronger than the Aurors, and he will no longer be a threat to the wizarding world."
Two Horcruxes have been destroyed, and the second Horcrux was destroyed by Dumbledore himself. Speaking of this, he was more grateful to Kahn. Fortunately, he reminded himself to bring Fawkes with him, otherwise when destroying the Horcrux of the ring, he would definitely be confused by the dark magic on it. It was Fawkes's cry that woke him up.
After that incident, Dumbledore was much more careful about Horcruxes. Tom's attainments in dark magic were amazing. If he was not careful, even he would fall.
Moody's magic eye kept turning, and he said quickly: "So this time we will go to the other side of the portkey together and catch Voldemort and the Death Eaters in one fell swoop."
"Alastor, I need you to stay in Hogwarts. It's enough for me and Professor Pent there. The Triwizard Tournament is equally important. After we leave, you must ensure that no Death Eaters can attack the students."
Professor McGonagall asked worriedly: "Just the two of you? Dumbledore, take Alastor with you."
"Don't worry, in fact, I hope Voldemort can be resurrected. Even if Tom is killed, the fear of him will not be eliminated until several years later. It is better to put him in Azkaban in front of everyone, so that everyone will know that Voldemort is just a clown."
Kahn said. It is difficult to verify if Voldemort is killed, unless a group of reporters follow them to record the incident; but if Voldemort is captured, he will gain a higher reputation.
The only god of law in the wizarding world.
Kahn needs a strong reputation to protect his industry and Hermione and others when he is not in this world.
The name of Voldemort could scare the British wizarding world for twelve years, so there is no reason that Kahn, who is stronger than him, can't do it.
Moody said in disbelief: "Voldemort resurrected? I absolutely don't want to see such a scene. If you can destroy his resurrection plan, it's best to execute it immediately. You haven't experienced the darkness when Voldemort was rampant."
"I don't need to experience it, because my strength is stronger than Voldemort."
Kahn said in a flat tone, and then a phoenix transformed by Fiendfyre appeared on the right side of his shoulder. It was exactly the same as Fawkes; even the feathers and the opening and closing were very similar, which scared Fawkes on the left, and he shouted twice and used his wings to touch the Fiendfyre phoenix. The
Fiendfyre was so exquisitely transformed and could be maintained on the shoulder. Moody's magic eye accurately found that all the Fiendfyre flames seemed not to burn Kahn, even if they were less than a centimeter away from his hair.
"For the time being, let's do what Professor Pent says. His magic power has surpassed mine. Even if Tom is resurrected, he is not as good as him,"
Dumbledore said with finality. Even if Voldemort is resurrected, the magic world does not need to be afraid of him; he can see that Kahn has a tough personality and it is difficult for others to persuade him.
The third game of the Triwizard Tournament started directly, and most of the people watching the game have arrived at the scene.
This competition venue was built by the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts with great effort. It is a garden maze, and there is also a bewitching magic inside. People who walk in not only have to face the intricate maze, but also have to be careful of the bewitching magic of the venue.
Dumbledore could have gone to the destination in advance through the portkey, but Voldemort and the Death Eaters became cautious after losing a large number of their accomplices; they sent Death Eaters disguised as students to mix in and cause chaos. If Moody had not received the news and was on guard day and night, the two Death Eaters would not have been caught.
The Confusion Magic on the Portkey can only be used once. If Dumbledore used this opportunity in advance and didn't meet Voldemort, then he would have alerted the enemy and Voldemort would be more cautious in the future.
Kahn came to the competition stands very early. He sat on the last floor. Hermione looked around after arriving at the stadium and finally sat directly next to him.
"Godfather, what are your plans for this summer vacation?"
"I should go to America or somewhere else. What's wrong?"
After hearing this, Hermione said a little embarrassedly: "I read the difference between the American magic world and the British magic world in the book."
Kahn nodded in understanding, and then apologized and said: "Next time, Hermione; I can't get away this time, and something will happen later. You'd better stay at Hogwarts or with Phil and Isaac next year, so it's safer."
Hermione asked with a puzzled look: "Big thing?"
"You will know in a while."
Kahn didn't say much. He didn't know how many ways Voldemort had to escape. If he said something big but didn't do it, it would be embarrassing.
If Voldemort is caught, Dumbledore will need another year to eliminate all of their followers. During this time, Hogwarts is the safest, and other countries are also relatively safe, but the Granger family cannot be allowed to hide outside for a year.
To eliminate the Death Eaters, we must first start with Cornelius Fudge. Although he is not a Death Eater, his greed for power and weakness make him more harmful than the Death Eaters; if the Ministry of Magic cannot replace a hardliner as the Minister of Magic, even if Voldemort is imprisoned in Azkaban, he will eventually be rescued by some loyal Death Eaters.
"Godfather... forget it, it's nothing."
Hermione originally wanted to ask about Fleur, but she felt that she didn't have the right to ask this question, so she prepared to concentrate on watching the third game.
Just now, the four warriors have entered the garden maze in the venue. Most of the audience are discussing enthusiastically. Except for Viktor's die-hard fans, most of the audience believe that the warriors of Hogwarts will win the championship because the chances of winning are relatively high.
The Weasley brothers were still asking if anyone was going to place bets when the third match just started. They had made a lot of money from the cooperation with Buckman in the first two matches. If they could make a lot of Galleons in the third match, then the magic prank supply store they dreamed of would be open soon.
The match lasted for more than half an hour, and Kahn suddenly felt that the magic mark on the door key was touched, and someone was transferred away by the door key, but no one appeared in the venue.
Dumbledore glanced at Kahn, and then immediately said something to Buckman and Barty beside him, and found an excuse to withdraw from the venue.
"Hermione, I'll leave for a while."
After Kahn finished speaking, he used the Flying Spell to turn into a cloud of smoke, and then flew away from his seat in the stadium and went to the exit of the stadium to wait for Dumbledore; this place was still within the scope of Hogwarts. Unless Dumbledore used the power of the headmaster to remove the anti-apparition spell in the school, he could only let Fox take him away.
"Sorry for bothering you, Professor Pent."
After Dumbledore came out of the passage, he put his hand on Kahn's shoulder. The next second, the two of them arrived at Riddle House through Apparition.
It was gloomy and clouded. There was a cemetery and a deserted church near Riddle House. No one had taken care of it for a long time, so it seemed a little flustered.
"Is Harry alone?"
Dumbledore and Kahn appeared a few dozen meters away. After arriving here, they saw a potion brewed in front of a cemetery. Although Dumbledore didn't know what the potion was, it was definitely related to Tom.
"Because I was afraid that other people would do something bad, I gave them a little trick, and I can remove it when I go back."
Kahn said to Dumbledore in a low voice. He used curse magic and tested it on Cedric and Viktor, which had a series of effects such as weakness and weak legs; and he told Fleur to find a place to hide in the third game.
So now only Harry was brought here by the door key.
A Death Eater walked out of the Riddle House, holding in his arms the resurrected Voldemort. When Dumbledore saw this person, he immediately told Kahn that the person was Barty Crouch Jr.
Kahn nodded after hearing this. No wonder Barty Crouch Jr. did not go to Hogwarts to pretend to be Moody. It should be that Voldemort had no one to use, so he could only ask Barty Crouch Jr. to help him brew the resurrection potion.
"Resurrect him, Dumbledore, I can guarantee that Harry will be fine."
Seeing that Dumbledore clenched his wand, Kahn spoke to dissuade him and put his hand on his shoulder. The
elderly Dumbledore could not help but feel afraid. Voldemort was younger than him and could live longer than him. He had not seen Kahn's full strength. To be on the safe side, he would naturally choose a safer method.
However, under Kahn's obstruction, he gave up the idea of taking action now, and then watched Barty Crouch Jr. throw Tom Riddle, who was almost shrunk into a placenta, into a large crucible, and then used the bones, his own broken hand and Harry Potter's blood to complete the resurrection ceremony.
After seeing this scene, Dumbledore's face was serious for a while, and then he slowly said: "Tom's magic power now seems to be stronger than before. Is it related to the potion?"
"It doesn't matter, I will take action." Kahn continued to say to Dumbledore: "After he summons all the Death Eaters, you can set up the Anti-Apparition Spell on the side, and let me do the rest." Horcruxes can
indeed make people immortal. With the help of magic items or other things, the souls that have been dispersed can be preserved for a long time, which has a similar effect to the ghosts in Hogwarts.
Then, Voldemort sent a signal to the existing Death Eaters through the Dark Mark on Barty Crouch Jr. After a while, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly became as dark as ink, and soon two black mists flew from the sky and landed beside Voldemort.
"Haha, it's really simple. Only two people and a cripple with a broken hand come to welcome the so-called Dark Lord. Dumbledore, are you still worried that this power will shake the magic world?"
Kahn smiled and said. Voldemort's face was very ugly at this time. There was no audience for his resurrection. Most of the Death Eaters were all imprisoned in Azkaban, unless he changed the resurrection location.
Dumbledore was also infected by Kahn's laughter, and then he stretched out his wand and cast a large anti-Apparition spell nearby, covering the entire area around Riddle House.
The headmaster of Hogwarts was very familiar with this spell. With Dumbledore's magic power, even Tom Riddle could not use Apparition to leave.
"Who?"
Voldemort became angry immediately after noticing the anti-Apparition spell; not only did he not have many followers after his resurrection, but he was also touched by the enemy.
"Tom, your resurrection ceremony is too slow. Your headmaster and I have been waiting for a long time."
Kahn used the Flying Spell to come directly to Voldemort, then waved his hand to rescue Harry from the stone statue and sent him to Dumbledore. "Tom, why don't you salute when you see your master? By the way, that should be you as a teenager. Do you still remember the diary? That Tom is my servant."
Harry, who was sent to the back, saw Dumbledore beside him and said in a panic: "Professor Dumbledore, that is Voldemort. He is resurrected, he is resurrected!"
"It's okay, Harry, believe Professor Pent."
Dumbledore calmed Harry down, then asked him to step back, while he held the wand to prevent Tom and other Death Eaters from escaping from here with the Flying Spell.
"Hehe, let me guess, the Dark Lord has been gone for too long, so the young wizard has forgotten his terror!"
Voldemort laughed nervously at first, but at the end, his face was even ferocious and he shouted; Kahn's words made his anger seem real, he had a Horcrux destroyed, and Harry Potter was rescued in front of him. And there was Dumbledore
behind him, and from what he said just now, Voldemort also heard that they had been watching for a long time, but did not come out to stop him from resurrecting.
Underestimate the Dark Lord?
Voldemort ruled the wizarding world by fear, but if there was no fear, there would be many wizards who would resist him.
"Master, this is Kahn Pent. He was the one who put many of your loyal men into Azkaban during the Quidditch World Cup."
Barty Crouch Jr. said to Voldemort while enduring the pain of his broken hand. He had just managed to escape from the Quidditch match. More than 20 people besieged one person, but they had no way to deal with him. Barty Crouch Jr. even boldly compared Kahn with Voldemort, feeling that their magic abilities were almost the same.
"No more idle talk, Tom. I have limited time."
Thunderbolt explosion!
Kahn pointed his finger, and more than a dozen explosive spells instantly appeared in the sky, attacking Voldemort and the other three Death Eaters.
Among the four people, only Voldemort reacted. With silent spells and wandless casting, Barty Crouch Jr. and other Death Eaters didn't even know what spell Kahn had used. Moreover, Kahn's explosive spell was more powerful than that used by other wizards. One explosive spell was like four or five grenades exploding at the same time.
And each of the Death Eaters and Voldemort had to face four or five explosive spells.
Boom boom boom.
The explosion of fireworks instantly blew off a layer of the map on the ground. The sound was like thunder in a rainstorm. Harry, who was far away, immediately covered his ears in discomfort.
Barty Crouch Jr. and two other Death Eaters died directly in the first round of spells, and Voldemort was also a little embarrassed. His body was all covered with dirt and charred by the smoke of fireworks.
"Cough cough cough"
Voldemort couldn't help coughing twice, but before he could say a few harsh words, he heard Kahn speak.
"Don't relax, Tom, the second round of explosive spells is ten times the first round."
After hearing this, Voldemort looked up at the sky and immediately found that the dense red spells in the sky above his head were as numerous as stars.
Voldemort's pupils dilated instantly, and then he quickly used the Shield Charm and the Counteracting Charm to prepare to block this round of explosive spell attacks.
Dumbledore, who was far away, also had a solemn expression on his face. He stood beside Harry and protected the two with the Shield Charm.
The next second, hundreds of explosive spells poured down like rain, and instantly it was like an intercontinental missile was detonated, setting off fireworks dozens of meters high; the powerful impact was like a hurricane passing through, lifting a whole layer of soil nearby, and the tombstones and stone statues were all smashed into pieces by the impact of the explosion.
After almost a minute, the explosion subsided, but the entire area was covered with smoke and fireworks; Dumbledore slowly stood up and used his wand to destroy the fireworks around him, but it was difficult to dispel them all at once.
Harry Potter was so scared that his heart was pounding, and he sat there gasping for breath. First, Voldemort was resurrected, and then there was such a terrifying explosion. He lived for fourteen years, and it seemed that he had used all the adventures of the second half of his life today.
Not long after, the smoke was blown away by a gust of wind, and the surrounding environment became clear; Dumbledore and Harry also saw the situation in front of them. Kahn was holding a charred and seriously injured person in his hand and walking towards them. The only thing that could be identified was the half of the wand in this person's hand, which seemed to be... probably Voldemort's.
"It's been solved. The next step is to communicate with Azkaban. Professor Dumbledore, Fudge should step down."
Dumbledore pushed his glasses, took a closer look at Tom Riddle, who looked miserable, nodded and said, "I know. Next, I'll go back to visit some old friends."
For the first time, he felt that the Explosion Curse was more like a curse than Avada's eating a big melon.
Kahn threw a camera to Harry and said, "Harry, do me a favor and take a picture of what happens next."
"What? I'm happy to serve you, professor."
After Harry reacted, he immediately picked up the camera and stood up and said, he was very excited now. Voldemort, who was almost a nightmare in the magic world, was solved so easily today. He didn't dare to do it so easily in his dreams.
"Take a picture of what happens next."
Kahn said, and directly used Transfiguration on Tom, turning him into a black, skinny cat, and then took out the cage prepared in advance and threw Tom directly into it.
However, after turning Tom into a cat, Kahn thought of the black cat that often came to see him. Now thinking back carefully, there were too many strange things about the black cat. Could it be an Animagus?
"Cool, Professor, I've taken some photos. Do you need more?"
Harry asked excitedly, even touching his wand, wanting to give the black cat in the cage a tara dance and then record it; or try using a cat teaser, catnip or something like that on Voldemort.
"That's enough. Professor Dumbledore, this is a special alchemical item. If it's not opened with a key, the explosion will be a little smaller than before."
After Kahn finished speaking, he gave Dumbledore a special key. It's best for him to keep this thing; if he is not attacked by black magic, Dumbledore can live at least ten years.
"Thank you, Professor Pent, the magic world should thank you."
Dumbledore thanked sincerely. If it weren't for Kahn Pent, it seems that no one can deal with Voldemort who has several Horcruxes, and he will also be plotted against by Voldemort's Horcruxes.
"Let's go back. We should tell everyone that Voldemort Tom Cat has been defeated again." Dumbledore smiled with ease, as the matter that was weighing on his mind was resolved. Then he and Harry put their hands on Kahn's shoulders, and the next second
they used Apparition to return to Hogwarts.
