Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

After he walked for a while, his body began to feel intense discomfort, as if someone had imposed a transformation spell on him. He clearly felt his hands, feet, bones, body shape, muscles... everything was shrinking. His previously stagnant spine slowly squatted down, and his handsome face suddenly became like a mouse. The small eyes and big pointed nose that were always moving quickly seemed to be wary of everything around him. The dense chestnut hair started from the roots and became sparse and sparse, and all turned into an ugly off-white.

Albert Gueretto, no, he should be called the man Peter Pettigrew now. Since he fled from the Ministry of Magic a few months ago, he finally reached the destination of his trip, in the forest of Albania. .If there was a second choice, he would of course never choose to find his old master. In the past, he was even willing to be a pet of a magic family for more than ten years. He really couldn't be considered a self-respecting person.

But he has nothing to do now. Sirius told the truth. Now the entire magical world almost knows the truth of the year. Even if the details have not been disclosed, everyone knows that Sirius is the real friend of the Potter family. His petite star Peter is an out-and-out coward, a bad embryo who betrayed his friend to the devil out of fear.

Fortunately, Albania has not posted his wanted warrants everywhere. He went to the tavern at the time, just to get information by the way, to see if the locals had received the notice from the Albanian Ministry of Magic. The Ministry of Magic is now angry and angry. Living with him, not only in the country, but also with wizards from other regions and countries to hunt him down.

The real Albert Gueretto is said to be a complete Muggle, and he lives in a village in Norfolk. The woman didn’t say much, she probably just wanted to see his jokes, just put Throwing the boiled compound decoction to him, he drove himself away.The amount of compound decoction is not too much, but it is enough to pay attention.

During this time, Little Dwarf seldom goes to places where people gather, because even if there is a compound decoction, the probability of accidents and detection is not zero, and the amount of medicine cannot support him to live in hotels or swagger all the way. Wandering around the gathering place, even if you go to the market, it is mostly to gather intelligence or buy supplies.He must always plan carefully, because even if it is money, the amount is not much.

Looking at the depths of the black hole in the forest, Little Star swallowed. He was holding the rope in his left hand and holding the wand tightly in his right hand. Even if the sky was still bright, the forest covered by leaves was still dark and dark. He took every step carefully, he recalled what the woman had said, and she told him to go to a deeper shadow, preferably a place where the snakes could easily survive.

It is not that he does not understand this sentence. The fact that the Dark Lord is a snake-like voice is almost universally known. His master is too weak now. These cold animals are his best guards and eyes.

But how can he find his master in such a large area?Not to mention that he didn't even have the Dark Mark on his arm. No one knew that he had betrayed when he worked secretly for the Dark Lord, and the Dark Lord did not mark him in order to hide this chess piece.

Time passed by every minute, but things did not progress at all.The little dwarf gradually became anxious, maybe the Dark Lord is no longer here?He couldn't tell whether the emotions that flooded his heart were more disappointment or more fortunate. He still had concerns about returning to his old master, but he had no choice. He was already ruined in the magical world, if not. Pulling the robe of the Dark Lord, there is no future at all.

no problem, no problem.The Dark Lord will see his loyalty. Once he finds the Dark Lord and takes this feat, who will blame him for his past mistakes?Dwarf gasped hard, and he couldn't help but start resenting Sirius, who was enjoying his vacation in a warm and comfortable castle. He could only sip the stream and pick wild fruits to eat. He could not stay anywhere for more than three days. But Sirius can retrieve everything, reputation, status, money... all this treatment is only because of an unclear night!

When the anger in his heart reached the top, he felt that something soft, like a water pipe was stepped on under his feet. As soon as that thing moved, he quickly jumped back.The wand looked forward and found that it was a snake, motionless under the rotten wood.The snake was startled by him, spit out the scarlet snake letter, straightened up, hissed open his mouth towards the little star, revealing a few sharp teeth.

The crisis is far more than this. The little dwarf clearly sees black long objects flowing in all directions around it. Those are snakes. The snake's belly slides on the ground, making a faint sound of clicking.He was surrounded, and obviously this was not an accident, they were completely premeditated attacks.

Little dwarf felt a cold chill from his back, and his hair burst.He even forgot to maintain Pertha’s floating curse and let the woman fall on the dirt. He just wanted to use the curse at the snake in front, because this side was the best way to break through, but he stopped abruptly because of this. The snake stopped a few feet below his feet, did not attack but surrounded him.

"Lord, master?! Great Dark Lord, I, I am your most loyal servant Peter Pettigrew! I came from a long way from England to find you!" Pettigrew hurriedly crawled to the end, sweat running down his face. Dripping, he kept shaking, his original voice was sharp and thin, a bit like nails scratching on a glass plate, which was unpleasant.

But such a loud announcement is indeed useful. At least after a moment of silence, there was a cold, snake-like hissing sound from nowhere. When the snakes heard this sound, they became docile and blocked. The one at the foremost swung its body and slid towards the shadow, and then disappeared; but the snakes around it had not receded.

This is so that Dwarf Star can only choose to go forward. He bit his scalp and stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and let Pertha, which was covered with mud, float again.But what makes him particularly stressed is that even if he keeps walking forward, the snakes will still swim and follow him, as if they are watching him.

When he reached a clearing area, a viper, at least ten feet long, stayed quietly in front of him. The snakes did not move on, but stayed where they were, as if they were meeting the emperor's courtiers.Little Dwarf knew this abnormally big Viper. When he had visited the Dark Lord before, the snake was with the Dark Lord. It was his pet.

The giant snake watched him quietly, and Pettigrew knew that he shouldn't move forward, and the Dark Lord wouldn't let him get closer until he confirmed his identity."You said you are Peter Pettigrew?" A cold, unsentimental voice floated from nowhere: "Yes, master, I am your most faithful servant."

"But how do you know that I will be in the Albanian forest?" The voice asked in a weird manner, and Little Star panicked, "Someone asked me to come here to look for you, a woman, the closest person to you in the past. "

"Oh?" The Dark Lord said in a tone as if he had heard something interesting. He said jokingly, "Max? Is she awake? Not to take the decision in her own hands, but to give autonomy to both parties. You have to bear the same risks, and you will die if you are careless. I originally said that such an approach is too unscrupulous."

This is not for me. Little dwarf knows this is just his master’s self-talk, so he dare not continue to talk until the voice says: "You said you came to me, Wormtail (for He calls himself by his nickname, Little Dwarf dare not say a word)..." The Dark Lord suddenly asked harshly, "Then who is this woman behind you!"

Chapter VI Torture (Part 1)

"Lord, master, she is Pertha Jorkins of the Ministry of Magic, but the situation is not what you imagined!" Little Dwarf stammered, but he didn't want to be suspected by the Dark Lord because he couldn't tell, "I was in I met her in the tavern and got some news from her. I think she must have a lot of inside stories that she hasn't told, so I want to take her to a place where no one is there and ask again..."

"Ask? Did you bring Veritaserum?" Little Dwarf was stunned, and shook his head. "No, of course I didn't...Why would you ask me like that?" Voldemort was cold but he seemed to be listening to a joke. A smiling voice came, "Do you think this Pertha Jorkins is just a silly woman everywhere, don’t you? I think you just need to fudge and she will tell you everything, because you have only seen her be The defenseless side after you got drunk...but she is better than you think. Any wizard who enters the Ministry of Magic must first have a degree in NEWTs (ultimate wizard exam), which is a hard standard. Wormtail , Did you get the NEWTs certificate at school?"

Little Star flushed, and whispered: "My grades have nothing to do with the current situation, Master!" Voldemort looked in high spirits, "Only five OWLs (Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination) certificates, even one. There is no O (excellent, highest score), do you? I saw that you are not a clever, intelligent wizard, Wormtail. Even if you are somewhat quick-witted, you know how to save your life."

"You, you peeped into my thoughts!" Little Dwarf shouted in horror, subconsciously looking around."The servants of the Dark Lord have no secrets in front of their masters, Wormtail. Haven't you come to me with such an enlightenment?" "I, I..." Dwarf star broke out in a cold sweat, desperately thinking To resist the guilty conscience and horror brought about by this prying, he couldn't refuse it. The Dark Lord was a master of seductive minds, which allowed him to spy on the minds of undefended wizards as long as he wanted to see.Occlumency can resist it, but it is a sophisticated technique, at least not for Pettigrew.

At this time, Pertha, who was floating in the air, squeezed a faint voice from her throat. She seemed to be awake, her face twitched, "Wormtail, even if you look at your stupidity, I don’t think this should appear. Question-did you take her wand away?" Little Star lowered his head, "Yes, Master, I took her wand away from the beginning."

"Yes, when it comes to your life and safety, you have always been so detailed that it makes people disgusting." Voldemort sneered. "First, subdue this witch, but don't let her lose consciousness. I have something to ask her. ."

When Pertha opened her eyes, her consciousness was still dizzy. Her last memory was the worried look on Albert's handsome face. At first she thought she was already lying on the hotel bed, but her nose was It was full of the smell of moist earth, and her limbs couldn't stretch out at all, as if they were bound by something.

Pertha was taken aback, and hurriedly looked around and found that the surrounding area was full of tall and luxuriant trees, which should be woods, but this was an unfamiliar environment she had never been to once, "Ah, Albert?" With a bad premonition, but still with a fluke, she suddenly felt her body sink, and then the dull pain of falling to the ground came from her back, and she was put down.

But her limbs are still tightly bound. Her wand is usually placed in a side pocket that is easy to access, but she put her hand in, there is nothing in the side pocket, "Don’t look for it, your wand is already in my hand. The unpleasant squeaking voice came from the side. Pertha hunched her waist and used her feet to support herself to sit up. When she finally did it, she was already out of breath. She had been squatting on the weakness of the office for a long time. Exposed.

"You, you are..." Her voice became dry after being drunk and sober, perhaps with a bit of neurotic sharpness, "Little Dwarf Peter?!" Of course she knew who the man in front of him was, he was wanted Ling had taken root in every corner of the Ministry of Magic a month ago, and every member of his face would not be mistaken, "Why are you here, Albert..."

"Didn't you already know it?" Little Dwarf looked at Pertha's pale face after expecting the truth. "There is nothing Albert, only me Little Dwarf. I advise you to be honest, we have something to ask you. "

"'We'? Are there accomplices besides you?" Pertha suddenly heard a rustling sound approaching her. She looked at the place where the sound was made, and she couldn't hide it without shaking, "Snake, snake! Nagini approached her gracefully, spitting out a snake letter, and then passed through her back, the cold and smooth scales rubbed Pertha's skin, causing goose bumps.

But Nagini did not attack her, even though it opened the bloody mouth from time to time, showing sharp fangs like demonstrations. The shining liquid contained poison that could make people die quickly."Now it's up to my master to ask questions, Pertha Jorkins, you have to answer well, if you still want to survive."

The little dwarf retreated, and the cold and slippery male voice came from the void again: "Pertha Jorkins?" The panic of life threatened bit by little Pertha's calmness. She was not a person who liked to use reason. To restrain yourself will make people feel stupid as a student, "You, who are you..." she asked scaredly.

"I am the owner of Pettigrew, and no one in the world does not know my name. It is your honor, witch." Pertha's body suddenly stopped. Together with her thinking, if Peter Pettigrew is indeed a Death Eater, He was a betrayer who worked for the Dark Lord, so the identity of the voice was clearly revealed, "You are the... the big demon who can't even mention the name?! You have been wiped out, you have been..." She couldn't help shouting.

"I've been wiped out? A joke, how can you think that the Dark Lord, the greatest black wizard of our time, will welcome death because of a small accident? The most taboo and close word to mortals is for me It's just something that has been conquered. Even Max just wants to conform to death, and I took it away."

"What did you hear from this witch's mouth before?" Dwarf said quickly: "Yes, yes, Master... We talked about old things at Hogwarts and talked about our favorites. Dishes, Pertha said she hates adding soup to soup..." Voldemort said impatiently, "Don’t challenge my patience, Wormtail. I don’t care if you like to stick your nose to the bottom of the plate. Let me tell you more directly and simply. My topic worthy of attention, you idiot!"

"...World Cup! Yes, that's right, it's the World Cup!" Of course, Dwarf could hear the cold anger in Voldemort's voice. He racked his brains and wanted to dig out more details to calm his master.But Voldemort was not satisfied. "This news is worthless, Wormtail. Wizards from all over the world will gather together during the World Cup. The Ministry of Magic is also very tightly guarded, and there is no chance to do what I need to do."

Little dwarf wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and suddenly swept a key word from the corner of his memory. It was the news that Pertha accidentally revealed to him, but he didn't think it was of any use: "Lord, master, there is one more... …'Triwizard Tournament'."

"Oh?" Voldemort's tone was very playful. Pettigrew quietly glanced in Pertha's direction and found that she was obviously nervous, "The Triwizard Tournament, that increasingly boring college exchange tournament? For centuries? There were some real things in the front, and the warriors were fighting with fate, but they stopped the game with "too many dead"... But this information is very useful, you are not useless..." He obviously focused his attention on Pertha again, "Witch, is the game process determined by the Ministry of Magic? Or is it determined by the Academy?"

Pertha said nothing, she even closed her eyes: "Do you want to refuse communication with silence, witch? You are a little better than Wormtail. You still control the secrets in your heart so that they don't let me see. Arrived. But the Dark Lord was never a patient person, at least now I should let you know how to answer questions..."

"Little Dwarf, grind her with a broken heart." He spoke with a relaxed tone like saying please open the door for me. Little Dwarf first looked at the void (because he couldn't find his master position) and then looked at the trembling. Pertha with her lips closed ("No...you can't do this..."), "Listen to me, Wormtail!" Being scolded by Voldemort, Dwarf drew out his wand and shouted cruelly. !"

Pertha’s face was distorted, and she began to twitch uncontrollably, and at the same time she let out a heart-piercing scream from her mouth, as if she was about to pull her vocal cords out of her trachea. Little Dwarf wanted to press Hold your ears, the scream made him horrified, and he was shaking, but he couldn't remove the wand because his master hadn't stopped him.He watched Pertha fall to the ground. The rope is now not so much binding her, as it is to prevent her from self-mutilation due to extreme pain. Her freely movable wrist, ten fingers are deeply inserted into the mud and grasped. There are deep groove marks.She almost twitched every cell and every muscle, tears slid down her cheeks uncontrollably, flushing out traces of the dirty mud on her face.

"Okay, stop." Voldemort's words sounded like a natural sound to the two tortured and tortured, but Voldemort didn't intend to let this rising fear gradually fall, and he hissed, snakes from his mouth again. Nagini swam up obediently, followed her limbs onto her neck, while wrapping Pertha’s throat, wrapping her head upwards, although the breathing organs remained, But his eyes were tightly blindfolded.

The slippery scales of the viper stick to the skin, which not only makes people feel nauseous from the heart, but the fact that their eyes lose their light after being blindfolded makes the fear in the heart expand, as if the throat is strangled by death, the sense of imminent crisis and lifelikeness The sense of lethality seemed to be dancing in Pertha's heart, and the goose bumps couldn't stop.I don't want to die, but I don't want to die at all. It's natural to think so.

"So, now can you tell me everything you know?"

Chapter 7 Torture (Part 2) (one more)

Pertha wanted to open her mouth and breathe, but she felt that Nagini's flowing limbs at that time were really suffocating. She didn't even dare to move. After losing sight of her eyes, other feelings expanded further. The snakes slipped on the skin and there was still the slightest turbulence, and the world seemed to leave her alone, and the other voices were too noisy.

"I, I said." She gave in, her voice still a little hoarse, "After the Quidditch World Cup is over, the Department of International Magic Exchange and Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic and the Department of Magic Sports will jointly revive the Triwizard Tournament. , This action has been approved by the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge. They believe that there are enough means and experience... to stop and stop the vicious event of student death, and the Triwizard Tournament has always been very attractive Traditional activities..."

"So, Hogwarts must be in the competition." Voldemort asked, "The remaining two schools are still Boothbatten and Durmstrang?" Pettigrew also said quickly, "Yes, master! I thought the same at the time, but this news is of no use to us..."

"Shut up, Wormtail." Voldemort's tone became cold again. "It's up to me to decide whether it's useful, not your brain which is smaller than a pigeon... Did you forget to ruin you? What happened to the people and things that escaped? Hogwarts is Dumbledore’s base camp, and the kid...Harry Potter is there..."

"Yes, yes, the great dark lord, the little bastard of the Potter family..." Dwarf stopped for a moment for some reason, "Harry Potter is there. It is him and Sirius who made me have to change Become a real mouse in a ditch." He suddenly became irritable, "Let me cast an oblivion spell on this witch! I will not let you down..."

"The fragments of the information have not been fully obtained. Don't worry, Wormtail, take your wand back first-no, maybe you don't need to take it back. I still have it... I can see you, witch, you are very confused, can it? Has anyone messed up your mind? They have all become piece by piece. Even if we now know that this Triwizard Tournament is hosted by Hogwarts, we have no way to get in and we can’t find a chance... "

"What else do you know, witch?" He saw Pertha shook his head, "Nothing, nothing important..."

"But I think you should know more." Voldemort said coldly, "Even if you are just waiting to die at the Ministry of Magic... Dwarf, continue to use the drill spell." Dwarf shuddered, shaking his wand tremblingly. Lifting to Pertha: "No! Don't! Please..." Pertha's screams covered Petty's "heart-cutting".

It was the scream that seemed to be made after sticking a hot red soldering iron to the nerves. Little dwarf could not look away. Even if he had killed a Muggle in a street, it was not what he wanted to achieve at the time. , He just wanted to get rid of Sirius's hunt, and then flee from the chaos.Even if he doesn’t care about the life and death of Muggles, or even Pertha Jorkins, the impact of witnessing and personally imposing punishment is completely different. He is just a dull and stupid wizard, nothing like It was the Dark Lord or Max who had the courage to look directly at the misery of others.

The ropes were very strong, and Pertha kept twisting. The ropes pulled out blood stains on her skin, and the ropes were also stained with a faint blood. Pertha screamed openly, she eagerly hoped to be able to One person fell from the sky, at least someone could hear that she was being tortured, and then rescue her.
